Fabulous Nails in Oakdale, CA

Very close to what I asked for. Wendy always does an amazing job and has great conversations with her customers. They were very busy when I walked in but got to me very fast. The salon was quiet but the TV kept a good vibe. I asked for black and gold and Wendy delivered! Overall great service.

Honestly not really happy with the service I got! The nail techs were not accommodating. I went in for a full set and asked the nail tech what kind of nails I should get (acrylic, dip, gel) because my nails were sort of damaged. Another nail tech intervened, but was almost acting like my question was silly, or like I was asking for too much? My nail tech just asked what I wanted them to look like. I showed them a picture, and in the end, the nails didn't come out anything like the pic. I want to support local businesses, so I hope this place takes these comments into account and improves their customer service!

Worse experience I've had. 1st- we had an appointment for 2 and they tried to seat us apart (we asked to sit together when we booked it). 2nd- for inexperienced customers like myself- I am not familiar with gel versus regular polish; it actually looks the same to me. I wanted regular polish because my work does not allow gel. I got gel! ‍ 3- the girl doing mine was very rough. I was cut several times during the process. 4- I'm sorry, but speaking amongst each other in a different language and giggling- to me is a bit rude. I am certain she was complaining about me when I mentioned being cut. 5- I have what looks like bubbles. ?? The polish did not last and it looks horrible! Regular polish lasts longer. There are FAR too many other options for nails... we will NOT be going back here!

I've reviewed before, and I'm so irritated that I'm doing it again. I had come here multiple times for pedicures, but had a horrific experience getting acrylics removed back in Nov 2022 and was certain I wouldn't come back. Well, j decided today to give another chance for a pedicure, mostly bc I didn't want to drive to Modesto. I called to ask if they could take me, they said "yes, come now." Well, I show up, and every chair is filled but one. I take the last one. Three people are waiting for someone to become available to perform their requested service. I've been sitting in the soaking tub for an hour, waiting my turn. It's great that they're busy, but I literally called, asking their availability to avoid this. I would've gladly came back later when they cleared out the rush, had they communicated that. Extremely irritated.

I went to Fabulous Nails for a pedicure and had a young man working on my feet. I choice the $65 pedicure as a moment of self care and pampering. It started with him trimming my nails and the. Went downhill. He didn't file my nails and I had to do that when I got home He started to quickly work on my cuticles and caused an injury being to rough and quick. I had to pull my foot away and ask him to be easier and at that moment he simply stopped the filing and cuticle care. The massage was nice though. I tried to talk to him but he didn't seem to understand anything I was saying and I came to the conclusion that this was a big part of the problem and poor service that happened As I went to pay my bill with a credit card, I was asked to used the ATM machine next to the register. I questioned this and was told by a nearby female worker that the ATM fee was lower. Hmmmm. Obviously they are passing on the credit card processing fee in to the customer. So therefore I paid $65 +$1.50 for the ATM processing fee to pay with cash and a $5 tip on top of it. If they don't want to pay credit card processing fees, they should simply say they only accept cash. In summary, this was a great disappointment and I am still in pain two days later for the injury I endured during my pedicure.
