My fave nail place in Gainesville. Quality pedicures with such professionalism and a great color selection. I have been going here for 10 years! Had a great time getting pedicures here with my mom and daughter just before her graduation.

I love everything about California Nails! The service they continue to provide, honestly keeps me coming back! All of the staff are so nice! Yesterday, Johnny did my nails. I called 10 minutes before hand and they were able to fit me in during my lunch break! Johnny was so nice! I love my nails and the service! Thank you!

Always treated with kindness and respect each time I have been in. I'm a frequent flyer and have 2 people who have been the best in doing my nails and pedicure, Ms. Ann and Johnny keep me upbeat with a laugh each visit without fail!! Most places choose to charge more due to the length of your nails, but I haven't had any problems with this at California Nails, so I actually don't mind if I have to wait!

I've been going to nail salons since I was a little girl and this is by far the best experience I've ever had. Professional, clean, they did a fabulous job, and super relaxing. I loved that I wasn't rushed and even though they were absolutely packed they took their time and focused on the experience. Will definitely be back. Thank you so Tina and Kim!!
