Came in on a whim since I had time, I got the hydrating pedi which was $45 plus my gel removal so $55+ tip. Jenny did a great job, the salon has a nice comfortable vibe and whatever gel she put on my feet and scrubbed off, wow my toes are now baby smooth.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience at JC Nails, specifically Holly! Holly is absolutely amazing—her attention to detail is unmatched, and she always ensures that every nail is perfect. She stays on top of all the latest trends, so I always leave feeling fashionable and fresh. Her cat eye polish is my absolute favorite; the effect is stunning and never fails to earn compliments. I’ve been going to Holly for almost a year now and I’m so glad I found a nail tech in Santa Cruz that I want to stick with! Holly never fails me and always has great recommendations when I’m not sure about what I want.
