2025-08-02Last weekend I came to this nail salon for a full set and gel pedi. During my appt I noticed she only used one huge bead of acrylic per nail didnβt think anything of it. Thought it was pretty cool. But , My nail broke in less than a week. I called they said no problem I will fix it for you. I went there today just now and they made me wait 40 mins just for one nail to be fixed β¦ the owner is super rude and took other clients before me even tho I signed in and came in first . So I left. I spent over 180 dollars for simple nails of course with a good tip. This place used to be a top tier place in Lorain. I have no apex on my medium long nails and Iβm pretty sure more will break. I will not be returning. However, the pedicure was great and the lady who did them was very good n very kind.

2025-08-15The only reason I am issuing 2 stars is because at one time, this nail salon did really great work and provided great service. I was consistently going to this salon for over a year, and I personally have experienced 3 nail techs that consistently did the dipping powder in a way that lasted past a week-a young lady named Tram, Kim, and Vicky. 2 out of these 3 women have left the salon. This place seems to have a fast turnover, and seems to have gone downhill. In my last two visits, the dip chipped off in less than a week. Very disappointing, and when I tried to explain this to the owner, he rudely walked away and did not even acknowledge the problem. Very rude and disrespectful. I had an appointment that I had been waiting for over 20 minutes for. I decided to leave. I took my business to another salon, and as of now do not plan to return to California Nails.

2024-01-12This is my second time getting my nails done by Lisa and she's AMAZING! This time I asked to color match my car and she delivered! I've never had any nails fall off or break and they always turn out exactly how I want if not better. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you again Lisa!

2023-08-05The employee doing my sisters set was incredibly disrespectful and was laughing at us the whole time, she asked for a sage/dark green and got neon green and didn't get a clear nail like she wanted. The nail tech was really tough and didn't let the polish coats dry in-between. Nail glue was left on her skin too. He had her pay before her nails were even done because they were doing so bad, donβt recommend this place for manisβ¦at all.

2022-12-30They messed my nails up, ripped 3 of my nails half way off and the rest of them are super thin and super sensitive. I went there to get a full set, Iβve never had any problems before until I went here. I explained to man who was doing my nails that my nails were burning and they didnβt feel right. He didnβt say anything and just sprayed alcohol on my fingers. I was having a chemical reaction. He continued to do my nails, I probably shouldβve told him to stop but I didnβt because I thought the burning would eventually go away and he was almost done with my nails. They burned for a couple of days but eventually it went away. Now that my nails are coming off, they burn and I can see where he drilled super deep. I talked to the manager over the phone and she acted like I was dumb and didnβt know what I was talking about. I know I had a chemical burn, but what about where they drilled so deep that my real nails are falling off?
