F.A.R nails in Calistoga, CA

Nhi is the absolute best! She never disappoints. Her work is always consistently fantastic. Efficient and exactly what I want, every single time. My favorite manicurist ever!

1. This establishment uses metal foot files which are illegal in the state of California, and can cause major injuries to skin and cause infections. 2. Improper clipping of toenails (too short) resulting in tender skin and exposing the underneath nail bed. 3. Pushy nail techs who insisted on a shoulder / back massage. 4. Painful leg and foot "massage" where I actually had to ask him to stop because he was hurting me. He was using his fingertips almost like scratching up and down my calves and shins, I actually had red marks from his nails, thank God he was wearing gloves. Then usinghis knuckles over my ankle bones and bottom of my feet. 5. Extremely pushy and rude front desk/cashier/manager whoever she was. She first reprimanded and complained about us not bringing cash to our appointment, and also berated us for not accepting the offer of the shoulder massage. Asking us why we said no, and repeating that it is included in the service so we should have agreed to it. We paid $70 each for a pedicure just to leave feeling like we just got in trouble for being a customer. My friend and I felt very uncomfortable being spoken to like this and definitely will never go back.

I feel done so dirty by this nail salon - but I think they only give out good service and nails to regular customers. It's a small shop but I did not find it particularly clean. There was dust (real dust and nail dust) everywhere. The tools did not look sanitized and the equipment did not look clean. They are very friendly and nice, but even the nails were terrible. My French tip doesn't even connect to the edges and the edges aren't even at all? What professional lets someone walk out of their chair like this? It's obvious to me that they were not very experienced or knowledgeable about application. I will be getting my nails removed and fixed by my regular salon. BTW these are one day old nails!

FAR nails is my favorite spot in the valley!! i only get gel nails and they stay on for over a whole month, this is unheard of. i highly suggest everyone to try it out. Nhi is such a sweetheart and gets my nails perfect everytime. Rose Also does an amazing job on my pedicures. i've been coming here for over a year and they are truly the sweetest staff with so much talent.

So happy with my nails! Nhi fixed the bad job done by the last place - too thick, bad shape. Will definitely be back!
