I wanted to wait to do a review to make sure the nails held up. It's been more than 5 weeks and these things are rock solid. Not only did she work hard on the design and give me what I asked for but these things are sturdy. I am a nail picker, as soon as they start to come loose I pick them until with rip off I just…

This is my third time in a row visiting nails 21. Andy is by far the best nail tech I've had in the longest time. He makes sure that you like everything he's doing. He even goes as far to test things for you to make sure it's to your liking. I've gone to several shops in the area and my nails never stay on for 2…

Donna was absolutely wonderful! She took her time with my pedicure and gave the most relaxing massag. I felt so pampered. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly, seated right away, and offered a drink menu. Everyone here is so sweet, and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It’s hard to find a salon like…

This has been the best Nail Salon I’ve ever gone to! Tina & Andy run the place with such positive attitude and customer service! Everyone is so kind and they take time making sure your manicure and pedicure has the perfect detail.

They are so deserving! 💅🏽

Tannah, your Gothic vampire nails sound absolutely epic! 🖤🕷️ We love that you stepped out of your comfort zone with long, pointy nails for the first time! Melody will be so happy to hear how much you loved her work, and no worries about the spider legs. Getting those little details just right is what matters! 😄 We're also thrilled your husband enjoyed his pedicure and your teenage daughter loved her nails. That's a win for the whole family!

When you first walk in, you feel the luxury and top customer service. Zen did amazing with my manicure. I was so impressed at her attention detail. Si gives a great massage pedicure. Andy, the owner, is so proactive at making sure all clients come in with outstanding customer service and makes sure you leave happy. And a free iced coffee or sparkling drink with the visit is the cherry on top. So glad they opened up here in West Sac.

Not only was it welcoming, but they have a variety of coffee options available and they make sure you’re taken care of. BEST pedicure I’ve had in years; massage chairs, foot massage, precision, and attention to detail was INCREDIBLE! The shape and color of my manicure was exactly what I wanted. Everyone was so kind and you can tell they treat their employees kindly which to me means EVERYTHING! This is absolutely my NEW GO TO SPOT!

I loved my experiences I’ve had at this salon! Not one to leave reviews but they have such excellent services. They had two people working on my nails while showing me different colors because I wasn’t sure which I wanted. I ended up, loving the results. I tried something different. And I loved it! I have definitely recommended this place multiple times. They go above and beyond For their customers. Thank you !
