Millie’s Nail & Spa

Very clean and friendly and quiet service. My favorite place in town.

Millie is wonderful! I love this place! Very clean and relaxing environment. The staff is very kind and sweet. I have been to many different nail salons all over the county and Millie’s is by far the best! They have many different pedi’s and manicures to choose from and all of the ones I have had have been great.

My daughter and I requested the same specialty manicure and pedicure by 2 different people, and ended up receiving completely different pedicures (one of us got a scrub and one of us a cream) and just the basic manicure. There was no massage, the nails were cut a little short, and they cut me on the tip of one of my fingers. They also were not able to do the designs that we requested. Overall it wasn’t terrible — it was reasonably priced and they were nice.

Wonderful! I was staying in Santa Cruz for a few weeks and ended up coming here 3 times. Mani’s, pedi’s and waxes all were very well done. Millie is super sweet and keeps her salon super clean and beautiful. Thanks, Millie — awesome salon!

LOVE! The salon is simple and clean. It feels so relaxing there. I went today for the first time and got a pedicure. They did a lovely job and the price was so right — $ 15! I usually go to a salon near my office because it is convenient, but I don’t much care for it, abd it is $ 25. I may need to make time on Saturday’s to go to Millie’s. And, they have a full line of OPI colors. Millie is just the sweetest and obviously cares that her customers have a good experience. Millie’s is just the best.

Left with no pedicure and bloody feet, the salon itself was too much a hot sweat box to relax anyways. Never going back. Plus they said they did fake nails on the phone and don’t, seems like they just wanted to make the money and weren’t interested in actually giving a manicure or a pedicure. Oh and they had the audacity to charge me for a pedicure they didn’t do. Lovely business, keep up the great work.

This place is great and Millie is wonderful. This was my first time getting a gel manicure (although I get a lot of pedicures), and she did an amazing. The place is by far the cleanest I have ever been in. It seems like a very legitimate business, not a «chop shop». Also, it is very inexpensive! A gel manicure was only $ 20 and pedicure only $ 15! They have a great and large selection of polish, all OPI, Essie and CND. I was impressed and I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been a fan of Millie’s long before she opened her on salon. It’s clean, relaxing and the service is fantastic. Her staff really cares about you, doing a quality job, and making sure you’re relaxed. And super cost effective. She has my business!

Great service, super clean and more than reasonable prices. My gel nails looking amazing and better prices than I can get anywhere else! I would recommend scheduling an appointment. Well worth it! Will be back for sure!

Excellent service the day before (a Friday) Valentine’s day. The lady who gave me a pedicure took her time and paid attention to detail. Very impressed. She even took her time giving me a foot and leg massage. I got the deluxe lavender pedicure package. The place was very clean as well, which is obviously important. I’ll be back!

AMAZING! The experience was so great, Millie cares about every detail, she is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make you feel relaxed. I had a nature pedicure which came with an orange scrub (smelled delicious) and a tropical oil massage among all the normal things that come with a pedicure and it was $ 20, well worth the price! I also had a manicure with gel nail polish for $ 19, and eye brow wax. The waxing was less painful than other places, maybe because she uses powder? The prices are great, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the attention to detail is wonderful. I drive 30 minutes just to go here! Love it!

I keep hearing such great things about Millies… problem is, can’t get an appointment. Every other nail salon allows for walk ins or same day appointments. I’ve called more than three times and everytime I’m told too busy.
I’ll not try again.

I made an appointment at Millie’s at the recommendation of my mother-​in-​law and I am so happy I did! The salon is clean and professional and the employees are all extremely talented and friendly.
They have a great menu of nail services that are all so luxurious — and for incredibly reasonable prices.
Normally I just get in and out of a nail salon and don’t think of much of the experience other than being stoked I got the chance to take some time for myself. But after going to Millie’s I felt so relaxed and pampered. It felt like a spa day in comparison to other nail salons.
I also liked that they were playing relaxing mostly instrumental music and there was only one tv which was playing a soothing nature show without commercials or sound. So much better than the radio or being surrounded by tvs all on different channels!
All in all I am so impressed with the services I received. It felt like a real treat. Thanks, Millie!

I love coming here! The gals are so friendly and they don’t push services on you or tell you that their credit card machine is not working, to try to get you to pay cash. They are simply gracious. VERY reasonably priced. There is always relaxing music, 2 fish tanks and a TV with something relaxing playing on it. Plus, massage chairs. :)
I give 4 stars, rather than 5 b/​c I feel they could do a bit better job with scrubbing the dead skin off of my feet and better massages.

I have been here twice so far and love it. You need to make an appointment if you want to get your nails done because they tend to book up fast and walkins arent as reliable then.
I love the color selection that they have. So many choices with GOOD nail polish brands like OPI. The mani and pedi lasts a pretty long time for basic polish. Calm, clean and relaxing atmosphere. Millie’s is my new go to for my nails need. Great prices too! Last time I think I paid $ 22 for a basic main and pedi.

I was looking for a new nail place because the one I was going to wasn’t painting my nails very well. I get gel polish and within a couple days I was chipping. I looked on Unilocal to find a new place that wasn’t too pricey but had great reviews. I decided to try Millie’s on my way to my boyfriend’s in San Jose. I walked in at about 12:30 in the afternoon on a Monday and there was only one woman painting a customer’s nails. I was told to wait a few minutes before being told that no one had time to do my nails since I did not make an appointment. I double checked on Unilocal to make sure that I didn’t need an appointment before coming in, and Unilocal said that it was not an ‘appointment only’ facility. I am giving two stars instead on one because the woman was nice about it when she told me, but I wasn’t asked to come back later and I wasn’t asked if I wanted to make an appointment.

I really wanted to like this place, I really did, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning. Their prices are very reasonable and they do a good job, but every time I go in, they say they don’t have time. I walked in today and there was one person getting a pedicure and one person paying. The owner said she didn’t have time to do a pedicure. One time while getting a pedicure, I asked if I could get my eyebrows waxed. The same lady said she didn’t have time, but then proceeded to sit and do nothing. I was really put off by this. It’s like she doesn’t need the customers so why bother. I could see if they were slammed with people but they weren’t either time. For all the choices we have in Scotts Valley, I would choose another establishment. Making an appointment might help, but if that’s the case, then it should be stated.

Well I’ve been to a few places now as I’m having fun with my toenails. But after sampling I have decided to only come here. It’s so much more relaxing and they have good ventilation too so you don’t have to feel like you are choking in a toxic cloud. It’s very clean, the staff is great at their work and very friendly.
Tip for you Jiu Jitsu guys that want a nice nail color that won’t chip on the mat, go for the gel colors.
Oh and they still play relaxing music along with the awesome Attenborough nature videos, I love it!

I LOVE millies nails!
make an appointment with her, she books up fast.
not your typical nail salon that tries to fit in as many people as possible.
they take their time there.
and millie is SO SO SO meticulous. my nails look perfect every time!
and VERY good prices too!
def recommend — you wont be disappointed :)

Wonderful salon!
It’s very clean, quiet and relaxing. My first time here was a couple of weeks ago for a pedicure. I liked that the technicians pulled out a set of clean, sterlized tools for every client, and that the wash basins at the pedicure stations were disinfected at the end of each pedi, and the chair was wiped down as well.
There is not a lot of chatter at this salon, and they don’t have the tv blaring at you. If you want to have a conversation with the technicians, they will talk with you, but if you want to just relax and chill they respect that.
My pedi lasted an hour and included a scrub and paraffin. I walked out feeling relaxed and extremely cute with my flawless toes! :-) I’ll be back next weekend with a friend!
