Truly the best of the best. I drive 45 minutes just to see Tina because she’s absolutely worth it every time. The staff are all so kind, attentive, and genuinely care about their clients. Tina’s attention to detail is unmatched, her space is always clean and welcoming, and my nails consistently turn out beautiful. I always leave happy and excited for my next visit. Highly, highly recommend!

I’ve been going here for a while now & finally found a place I liked to do my pedicures. Just recently I started getting my nails done here and the service has been very inconsistent and unfair. I called to see if I can come in at 6:30 and Tina’s husband said I can come in at 6:15 since they do close at 7pm. But when I arrive a few minutes early , the owner asks if I can come back another day because they are not able to do my gel manicure. I stated I was not able to come back but shouldn’t the communication be clear with the whole staff about walk-ins ? She said she can only do a color change and I let her know I had a few cracked nails. By the way much later someone else comes in and gets a service she said I was not able to get. I originally asked for cat eye (to the First Lady that started my nails) then the owner comes and paints them after being prepped and asked if I wanted a design and I said no design just cat eye. She proceeds to paint them then top coat them and I asked what about my cat eye. She told me I did not ask for cat eye and even Her husband heard me say I wanted cat eye. At this point from going back and forth with her and all my previous experiences lately with them I was just over it and she does not end up doing cat eye. I just pay and with no other response or goodbye from the owner then I leave. Last time I also did not receive the whole service where they massage you which is part of it and they said it’s because they didn’t have time. Oh well I guess make sure you get what you pay for. Shame because I really liked how they did me and my boyfriends pedicure once a month. Picture below : not very happy with how they came out :/

Tina Nails is hands down the best nail salon on the Monterey Peninsula. It is always clean and everyone who works there is very friendly. I typically see Emily but have also seen Amee, Tina, and Anne and they are all equally fantastic - you can’t go wrong. After my last visit, I had multiple people comment on how amazing my nails looked! The attention to detail is wonderful and price is very reasonable. 10/10 recommend!

Tina’s Nails is the best. I love the results of having a regular pedicure but have always hated getting them done because the technicians inevitably hurt me, or do not do a good job. Not at Tina’s. I have been in a dozen times have worked with several different techs and they are all great. They do such a wonderful job and the pedicure lasts.
