I visited the California Nails salon after seeing the good reviews they had. I was not disappointed! They got me in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible and they asked me clarifying questions to make sure the design I asked for was done right! The design is perfect and my nails were shaped beautifully! absolutely would recommend this place

If I could give this nail salon 10+ stars I would! Always clean, never crowded, by appointment only(which I LOVE)! The atmosphere is always nice and Kelly and her husband are all around super friendly great people! The pedicures are so relaxing! Kelly is amazing when it comes to nail designs, you show her a picture and your nails will look EXACTLY like the picture! Here, they take their time and I never feel as if they are rushing! All in all I highly recommend this nail salon, in my opinion this salon is the best in the area and you will be satisfied!

The whole staff is lovely and has great attention to detail! I have been struggling to find a nail salon where my cuticles werenโ€™t cut up when they were removing my old gel polish or that my nails chipped one or two days after I got them done. But Kelly and Vu are amazing! My nails are staying beautiful!Thank you guys!!!
