Best Nail Salons In Santa Barbara

“Had such a nice experience with a mani pedi here! They were so friendly and helpful with color suggestions. I decided to get gel ‘cat eye’ nails with Helen, which came out so beautiful! ? I loved that she showed me two different options “moon” and “diamond.” I got “diamond” as an accent with moon on the other fingers. So fun!

The pedicure with Vu was so relaxing. He gave a very nice massage as well. And the added sparkle layer made the pedicure really nice for open toe shoes. With the champagne they provided, it really felt like a treat. ??“

“The entire family run crew is amazing. They are easy going, attentive and professional. I’m so happy I found this place.“

“I’ve been going here for several months and I’ve been happy and not disappointed every single time. The place I went to before there were a couple times I left unsatisfied, but never at Creative Nails. Danny is especially great. I even lost a toenail and they were able to put builder gel on my toe looks great. I highly recommend this spot and even have brought several friends. I’m a regular now. Keep up the good work“

“This salon is frequented by long term, loyal customers. I go with my Mother every time I am in town. It is a pleasure and a treat that I always look forward to.“

“Calming and intimate nail salon. Paula and Jessica and others consistently take care with my old nails to make them look lovely. I’d highly recommend the dip powder. They are so well trained with a wide assortment of colors and styles.“

“I'm so happy I found The Nail Nook! I've been getting my nails done there for over a year and every gel x manicure is perfect.

Esme is super fast and gentle on my hands, and the nicest—I always enjoy my visit. The salon is clean and so cute, and is connected to Fern + Flair boutique which has retail and beauty products.

The Nail Nook is a total hidden gem in San Roque that is by far the best place to get a manicure in town.“

“CNJ is my go to for the last 15 years. They always do such an amazing job and take such good care of their clients. Kelly always gives me the best French tip!“

“I came in on a Saturday, 5/31/25, I called before to make an appointment as I saw that it’s a small place and well liked by locals, for a gel pedicure. I was attended to right away and my first impression of the salon was that it was super clean and organized which is a big thing for me. The removal of gel on my toes was gentle- it felt like an old school pedicure with no harsh drills removing the gel or cuticles. The lady who did my nails was gentle and took her time with the entire process. Truly a relaxing experience/pedicure which I have not had with other salons in the area AND my toes look and feel fabulous.“

“AMAZING. 5 stars. The 3.8 star Google rating is unfair and largely from complaints about ATM or preferring cash payment, no big deal. The quality of service is outstanding. I came in from out of town with a botched gel X job from a salon in Santa Monica and Chi gave me the freshest cleanest most beautiful set of nails as well as a gorgeously clean and flawless French gel pedicure. She genuinely puts her heart in her work. The space is clean and calm. You won’t regret coming here! 💅🏻💎“

“Cozy little nail salon on State st. Quiet and peaceful with skilled technicians. Huong did a flawless job on my Gel pedicure. Highly recommend.“

“I always get my pedicures here at Charming Nails. The ladies always do a great job and always clean & professional work.. ❤️“

“Visiting the area and I read reviews in hopes of finding a good nail salon. Minhly's was great. I made an appointment
for the mid afternoon which I would recommend, so there would be no wait. Minh was friendly, considerate and an experienced professional and provided nails that were just the way I like it. Great experience at this longstanding, fanily run place and I appreciated the fair price for the quality of work. I will return when I get the chance to visit Goleta again.“

“My mom and I had a wonderful experience here. They are sanitary, have beautiful colors including Zoya polishes (I had 'hunter' green) and take great care with your nails. We hope to be back again!“

“You know how you have your go-to spots? Well, this is my new one! After moving to SB a few months ago, I was having a hard time finding just the right place that gave detailed time and care for mani/pedi services until I stumbled upon Nancy at Beauty H&N. She was so sweet and accommodating. She listens to exactly what you want done and doesn't make you feel rushed. While doing a fill, she actually cut back my cuticles. Something most salons don't do while charging as though they gave you a full manicure on top of a fill. Same thing with her pedicure. She dremels your toenails, calluses and anywhere your feet are peeling so everything is even and smooth. She takes time when massaging and moisturizing. Amazing prices and she carries great conversation like she's an old friend too. I highly recommend!!“

“Deeane was amazing. Honestly the best mani/pedi I’ve gotten in a long time. She was so detailed!“

“Tiny nail salon but did a great job on my pedicure. Massage was fast and a touch pricey.“

“Keota is a magician. She does wonders to your hair you wouldn’t even believe it was you’re real hair. I was beyond surprised after she showed me the final result. It’s as if you were to go to a salon in beverly hills but 10x better and a whole lot more affordable. She has stories for every occasion and will never keep you bored. If you are looking for any hair service she has perfected it. Keota is so kind so funny and insanely talented. I will never go to another place when it comes to my hair.Service: Balayage“
