California NAILS & SPA - Olympia (WA)

5 /5 Kristina: The first girl that helped me made me feel judged with how bad my nails were but the 2nd and 3rd girl did amazing i really love them

5 /5 Alisha P: I have been going to the old location (A-frame building) for years and started going to the new location as soon as they opened. Everyone takes great care of me as if I was a part of their family and I always feel welcome. When I dont do a natural set, I usually let them choose the design and they are good about fixing things you dont like if you speak up. I dont mind that it takes longer than most places as it is my time to myself when I get my nails done and would rather them take their time than rush. I love this place!

5 /5 Daina Shea: I love California Nails in so many ways. As soon as you walk in, you feel welcome. Every employee always wears a smile no matter how busy or quiet the salon is. I am pretty picky when it comes to having my nails done, whether it be the shape or color; I have never once left unhappy.

5 /5 Lyndsie Wilson: I love this place and they always do amazing work! Here’s some from the last year.

1 /5 Chrissy: Previously I left a 5 ⭐️ because I loved the set! Unfortunately I don’t have access to that account anymore so I can’t just edit it (Teri Seavers). This time around has been very bumpy. First I needed to come back in and have the acrylic filed down as it was pretty sharp. I paid $75 for this set plus $10 tip. After 10 days nails started popping off, this never has been an issue. I went back and they were willing to fix them, but the result didn’t match colors and the gold leaf line is thin, not to mention it’s a sparkly gold instead of a yellow, classic gold. It took about an hour to fix and I wasn’t going to continue to sit there having them fixed. The end result still has sharp acrylic you can see. They told me the nails popped off because my base nail was too short and tried to sell me on a fill— I’ve never ever had a problem keeping my nails on for 3-4 weeks. I’m just very disappointed that I wasted my time and I don’t feel it was worth the money. I will be looking at other shops for sure. Edit 2/27/23: As I suspected this set I paid $85 for was horribly glued on and the shop keepers had no intention of fixing this mistake that they should have realized was on their end because “they’re experts”. I feel this was proven by the two nails I had fixed, that they tried to claim “broke off because my natural nails were too short to support them”, because they will NOT COME OFF. Proving when done properly the result can be a long lasting set. I added a photo. I hate them at this point, but they won’t break, I’ll need to soak in acrylic to get them off. THAT is how my ENTIRE set should have been but I lost all my nails besides the two within 3 weeks. That solidified my decision to not spend my money or time here. Take accountability for bad work charged to clients and fix it.
