Nailworks

They do a great job on nails BUT this is not a shop for people watching their budgets. They will try and upsale you to the point it’s a turn off. I understand they are trying to pay their bills and this is a business but when you start being rude to your return customers because they are trying to watch their budget it’s time to look for a new shop. If your saving for a house trying to go to school have kids etc this may not be the shop for you right now. They are going for the client’s who won’t think twice about spending $ 60 – 100 every 2 weeks in a nail shop and this is the amount people are spending on fills pedicures and tips not full sets. Since I am trying to buy a house and I’m watching every dime I will take my coins to another shop were they don’t make you feel awkward for turning down gel or limiting my services.
If you turn down a service they will start to make you pay before they paint your nails and yes this was done to me and another customer. I was shocked they never made me pay prior to my nails getting painted, but in all fairness this was also the first time I put my foot down and said no to the $ 10 gel polish. If you go get Linda she is good but her attitude depends on the amount of money you are spending. The lady that sits behind her is good but not as good. The other lady was too rough and cut my cuticle bad and the gel chipped off which was another reason why I declined it on my last visit. The lady is very nice but she will try and sale you earrings for $ 30 that you can find on Amazon for $ 5.99.

This is the worst salon I have ever been to. I only went here because it was close and open, and I hated it. First of all, they are very rude and when they painted my nails the wrong color, they blamed me for it. I asked them to change it and they were very rude about it, as if I was inconveniencing them. They were also very rough with my nails, and twisted my hands in painful positions to file them. They filed my nails so hard, my nail would be sore for a few days afterward. Not only were they rude and rough, they did a horrible job. They don’t take all the nail dust off after filing your nails, so the polish goes on bumpy and doesn’t stick well. Also, they didn’t file the sides so my nails had an awkward shape where they fanned out toward the ends. I specifically asked them to try to keep my nails long, and she proceeded to file them extremely short. I will not be getting my nails done here again. I recommend Star Nails off of Madison, they do a great job and are gentle and nice.

Linda is THE ONE I see for my Nails! I was a little hesitant to see a new person at a new location than the one I have seen before! Thank you to my Aunt in-​law Patty for the recommendation! I will always see Linda. Their styles and up to date colors are the best. I was just amazed at what they can do with your nails! The Gel style «Pink & White» takes expertise & they just looked perfect & so natural. I promise to see Linda again and again. I know I stopped for a bit but I promise to go back and spoil myself soon

Love this place they do such a amazing job all the time I come her. I highly recommend this place to anyone. U won’t be sorry for coming here.

My first time visiting this shop was a good experience. I’m satisfied with the gel manicure and toe polish change. The nail techs took their time doing the services. The environment is RELAXING!

I’ve been coming here for like forever, well not really but 5 years seems like forever. About 18 or so months ago the place was sold and it was definitely for the better!!!
The service has drastically improved. It is no longer rough shod and quick, instead the new owners and staff take their time paying attention to details making sure you leave happy with a flawless set.
I usually get acrylics with French tips and they always come out perfectly, I get tons of rave reviews from friends about them. Then my toes get a matching color after getting a pedicure.
I really love every one here. Linda does wonders as does her son and the rest.

I like to try different places to get pedicures, who has good massage chairs, does good nail designs, foot massages, etc. I tried this place cause it was close to my house and have found myself coming back.
They get busy, but I usually always manage to walk in and get a pedicure without a wait. The massage chairs always work. They do a good job with the massage portion and nails. The staff is friendly, seems like a family, but I could be wrong.
They have 3 different pedicures to choose from ranging from $ 20-​$ 40. Gel is an extra $ 10.
Recently, I tried a gel pedicure and I am hooked!

Every time I come in to get my nails done I leave happy and satisfied. The staff are very friendly and really pay attention to what you want done not just say «Okay», «Okay «like other many places and have no idea what you really want done. Here they listen to what you asked for and remember you the next time you come in. Love their service, the shop is always clean and would recommend it to my family and friends.

Chairs are really nice. They massage very well. The pedicure wasn’t the best. A young guy did it. He seems to be new to it. I had to tell him to fix a couple nails. The shop was really clean. Everything looked new. I would just rather have someone a little more experienced doing my nails.

I live in Elk Grove, yet i always make the time to come down to Nailworks. It’s very spacious, organized, and clean. Whenever im in there, im always welcomed with smiles. The new owners Ken & Linda are very kind and are great every time. I just show them a picture of the kind of nails i want and they do their best to replicate it. It’s very relaxing, and my nails and toes always comes out perfect. The trip to Nailworks is definitely worth it.

I came here before the new owners Ken and Linda and I didn’t really like it. I decided to walk in one day because I saw new signs and I walked into a completely different place than the last time I was there. It had received a face lift and everything looked very nice and clean. I was lucky and got my nails worked on right away. Linda did a great job and I’ve been going there since. Both Ken and Linda are very nice and thorough with their work. My nails always come out nice which makes me happy thanks to the friendly staff at Nailworks :)

The décor of the salon is lovely and very relaxing and extremely clean. I feel so pampered and taken care of by Linda and Ken, her spouse and owner/​partner who are new owners. I had waxing, spa mani/​pedi and massage… I call it my monthly beautification appointment and well worth the time and money ! (BTW very reasonable) Owners and staff are very accommodating !

My sister in law sent me here because she loved the prices and equality. My experience was wonderful the new owners were extremely friendly and pay attention to detail. I paid $ 20 for my full set with $ 10 for gel polish and $ 5 for design. I have received tong of compliments within 24 hrs of going. Definitely will come back.

Got a pedicure and a full set… it was a alright pedicure but she cut my toes crooked I let the guy in there do my nails & I hate them. He rushed doing them cut my full set super short bad paint job half ass nail design and you can totally tell he didn’t really care how they looked … So disappointed

I had a wonderful experience! Ken is awesome w pink and white powder and gel! I started this review when I got my nails done initially and now almost 3 weeks later I’m finishing it. My nails stayed on and didn’t even lift and the gel stayed just as shiny as day 1! Now I’m here today to get a fill and we will see how well my nails stay intact! The pedicure was very nice and relaxing. The technician has gentle hands while cleaning up my toes and did a very nice leg massage. I’m here for my refresher pedicure and still certain it will be just as nice as the first one :) The people here are very nice and the environment is very relaxing!

I usually get my nails done in Elk Grove at my usual spot, but I’ve been busy and haven’t been able to make it down there.
I walked into a completely empty nail shop and told the gal I wanted a gel manicure. She was extremely friendly and very fast! She said she’s been doing nails for 15 years! My nails came out nice. The only thing I wasn’t impressed with was their color selection. I wanted one nail to have glitter but there was only 2 glitters to choose from and she didn’t sound confident in what I was asking her to do. I opted to just get one color and no design. I like my regular nail lady because she can do design and her shop has over 100 gel colors to choose from! In a tight pinch I might come back here.

I had a pedicure, eyebrow waxing, and full set of pink and white done on a walk-​in on ⁷⁄₃. It’s been a while since I’ve had artificial nails, and Linda took the time to explain all the different types. I chose the pink and white because it seemed to suit my lifestyle best. It’s only been a few days, but I’m really happy with the job she did on them.
The place has all new equipment and was clean and spacious. I was seen right away, even though I didn’t have an appointment.
I mentioned the bad reviews to Linda and she said she and Ken had recently purchased the salon and they are trying really hard to turn the reviews around.
I will definitely go back!

I walked in and received service immediately. Linda was awesome. She hooked my nails up! I will definitely be back!

I used to work in the same parking lot as NailWorks. The place is open, spacious, clean, and very friendly staff. It’s in a small shopping plaza on El Camino. It doesn’t really stand out… so you might miss it if you’re not paying attention. Look for the UPS store next door.
I would go on my lunch to get a pedi at least once a month. I don’t know what they do differently here but my nail color stays on for weeks. Gotta love that! Finally went back last Friday for a pedi. I was helped by Ken or was it Kent. He was really good. Love his foot massage even though he beat the crap out of my feet lol… but it felt good. Lets see how long the color stays on this time :)

I popped in here because it was on my way home and I needed to have my gel manicure done. MISTAKE!
First, they do not post the price of the gel manicure.
When I sat down, Tony got out his rotating file and said ‘I’m just going to use this to remove the gel, it’s much quicker this way’. I told him no, I did not want him to file the gel coat off, I had time for him to do it properly. He insisted, saying that he would just take off the very top so that the rest would come off quicker. I finally agreed, as this was only my second gel manicure so I wasn’t really sure what the correct process was anyway.
He basically ended up scraping the gel off (after the initial ‘roughing up’ and soaking in a bowl of acetone) with a tool. He was very rough trimming my cuticles, and made me bleed twice! He then filed my nails, and started with the gel. I asked if he needed me to wash my hands, and he said no, he just cleaned them with the acetone.
On a side note, after I dipped my (bleeding) fingers in the acetone, he poured it back into his supply bottle. GROSS! At this point I am just praying I don’t get an infection from this place.
My nails are passable, barely.
The topper came when I was leaving and he told me ‘Ok, $ 20′. I gave him my card. He got annoyed and asked if I had cash. I told him I was sorry but I only had my card. They have a sign that says they charge $ 1.50 extra for a credit/​debit, which is fine.
I asked him if he could add $ 5 for a tip to my card, and he charged me $ 30!!! I told him that he told me it was $ 20, but he said I misunderstoon and he said $ 25. I did not misunderstand.
I will NEVER return to this shop, and I advise anyone looking for a nail shop to go elsewhere.
