Red Nails

Terrible. I have been getting my nails done for decades (pink & white acrylics) & was going to Lucky Nails until they changed ownership it was great, best in town, hands down, but since Helen & her husband took over, my nails have just been in bad shape (lifting, breaking) so I tried Red nails to see if they could do better. If you like having your technician dig her natural nails painfully into your hands while she works, then by all means, this place is for you. They did a decent job with the actual application, but the technique is terrible. I kept telling her she was hurting me (and she just kept talking to her associate in Vietnamese & ignored me) I had a pedicure with my daughter, also — again painful. I won’t return.

If I could give no stars I would. I waited an hour to get a pedicure. Then they didn’t even cut my nails.

I just had the greatest pedicure ever here at Red Nails. It’s called the Herbal Spa Treatment. An hour long treatment with herbs, hot stones, oils, it the bomb! So relaxing! Try it you’ll love it. Everyone here is so nice. I’ve been coming for 2 yrs now. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed

Waited for 45 minutes with my feet in cold water by the time any of the workers could start on my pedicure. The workers never refused anyone so the place was full of people sitting around waiting for services. Will never come back here!

I have been going here for over 6 years. They are very polite and do a good job. Yes you have to train them to do your nails the way you like them but once you do it has been great! Only a few times they have made me wait on my standing appointment.

Rule Number One: don’t screw up the brows.
This place used to be our go to for nails, waxing, everything. They were inexpensive, they weren’t pushy and they remembered us. I went there back in April to get my nails done. I thought they closed later but they said they could still do a mani/​pedi for my sister and I. IT WAS SO BAD. Never even touched my cuticles.
So we decided no more nails, just waxing…
Then today they screwed up so bad we won’t be back ever. (See picture)
The problem is they rush EVERYTHING & jut don’t care anymore. You’ve let us down to many times red nails. Bye.

This is my favorite place in Auburn for getting my nails done

Wow what’s with all the harsh reviews? I’ve been here several times and always had a positive experience. I grew up in auburn so I had my nails done here for prom/​senior ball/​weddings/​etc. they do a great job for a reasonable price. I also get my eyebrows waxed here every time I’m in town. I walk in and it takes about five minutes and always looks amazing.

I have been going there for years… Lena does an excellent job on nails and up until the other day, the wax for brows and upper lid were satisfactory. On Monday, Helen (who I had never used for wax) burned me. When I returned, I spoke to Dennis the owner who said «go talk to Helen»… She denied burning me… I calmly told her she did and she began to argue… as I was walking out, I loudly said «You’ve lost a customer». Am very tempted to stop payment on check for nails and brows and send one just for nails… STAY AWAY FROM THERE!!!

I got my wax done very quickly, she didn’t try to up sale me or offer any other services. They were friendly and got me in and out very quickly! I will be going there more often.

I’ve been going here off and on since I was in high school (10 years ago). Most visits are good and they don’t do a bad job. I would say it isnt a very high end nail salon. the décor has been the same the last 10 years. Some of the employees can be kind of rude, it depends on who you go to. I would say its the best place to go in auburn, but if you’re willing to drive, go somewhere else in roseville or Lincoln. Used to get my eyebrows waxed too, and never will again. Maybe I’m just picky, but anywhere I go they’re always done crooked or with the arches in different spots.

I will NEVER come here again. Had a fill that took 2 hours and my nails still looked like 3 yo did them.

I have gone here a few times to get full sets of the fake nails. I’m a body piercer, and not the girliest person in the world, so I had very specific things I needed done to the nails such as made very thin and semi short so I could pick up pieces of the jewelry. I was very pleased the first time I went, brought my mom back, and we have been going there every now and then since. Both my mom and I have had our eyebrows waxed here before, weren’t too happy with it, but overall it’s a decent place.

I got my eyebrows pulled… er… waxed here.
Nevermore.
…the techs were pushy, trying to sell everything from pedicures to manicures and lip waxing to me… and my friend, just coming in to support me.
the lady doing the waxing was quite unprofessional, constantly chewing on something and smacking her lips the entire time she was hoovering over me. what on earth takes that long to chew and swallow? she wasn’t nice about the waxing either… not putting her fingers on the freshly pulled area to calm the throbbing and leaving a sparse forest of stray hairs that i had to pluck myself afterward.
on the bright side, i won’t be made fun of for about a week and a half for having wookie-​like features.
