Venus Nail And Spa

I love going to this place. Everyone is very friendly and they have an amazing selection of gel, acrylic, and regular nail polish. All of the girls are nice and talented. I had Andrea doing my nails the last two times and she was more than up for the Pinterest gel nail design I had my eyes on. This is the only place I go to to get my gel manicure done :)

This was my first visit to Venus Nail Salon and I can promise you it won’t be my last. I’ve never had a ‘nail lady’… I would usually just go to whatever was close by. WELL– I got really fed up with subpar nails and mediocre customer service. So I opened up my Unilocal app in search for QUALITY! I’m so incredibly happy I found Venus nail salon!!! I called today around 11 to see if they had an opening for a full acrylic set of nails with gel and right away Mariam (I think that’s her name) asked if 1pm would work. I was so happy that I was able to get a day-​of appointment!
When I got to the salon, I waited maybe all of 5 minutes and right away I was in a chair. I was so lucky and got seated with Kim. She’s LEGIT… Fun to talk to, keeps it real and knows her sh*t!
She was so careful with my nails (they were in really bad shape from the last crappy «nail salon» I went to) that I never felt any pain or discomfort. It was so nice to have someone genuinely care for the well-​being of my nails! So rare!
I went with the coffin shape and she absolutely killed it! I’m in love with my nails! I can’t wait to come back! Amazing customer service and incredible quality with the upmost attention to detail!
Thank you Kim! You kick ass!

I love getting my toes done here. They don’t rush and make sure you have a good experience. Good customer service, friendly and calm environment. Make an appointment, it’s worth it. It’s amazing how cheap the pedicure is considering the quality!

The girls here are super nice. It’s nice to come in and have conversations with the employees. I love the quality work they do, they take their time.

I give this a one star for the unprofessional attitude at the salon. I give 5 stars to my pedicurist, Destiny. She was excellent. BUT…
I had to wait awhile for my appointment, and Mariam was a bit rude. No problem, I could handle it. After a ten minute wait, Destiny came in the back door and was able to do my nails. The two other workers ignored me until Destiny came in… maybe she was assigned to me, I don’t know, as no explanation was made as to why the other two did nothing for me.
As I was being done, Mariam decided to get her own pedicure, and I was surprised that, her and the other worker, did this on their work time. When someone called for an appointment, Mariam got out of the water, went barefoot and wet to the book, made the aptmt. and came back to the water. When a lady came in for a pedicure/​manicure as a walk-​in, the two kept on with the employee pedicure, while the new customer had to watch 3 employees working, and she was not spoken to nor acknowledged.
With the water on the floor, I thought «libel suit» if anyone fell. I have recommended this salon to so many of my friends from my first two visits, with the first owner. Obviously, their is a new owner, because this salon has gone downhill quickly. I won’t be going back, and already had a friend refer me to another sterile salon.

Great service! Maryam helped me. I wanted 3 different colors on my gel manicure and she was super helpful. I didn’t feel like they were trying to up sell me either like other places. The place is nice. I will definitely be back.

I believe her name was Adreanna. And she was great. Showed her a picture of a gel mani I’ve been wanting and she nailed it. Definitely returning.

Wow, I went in at 12:15 pm, only 2.25 hours after they opened and ALL of their employees are going on an hour break and won’t be able to see any walk-​ins a bc of appointments. You would think that they would stagger their breaks so they can accommodate a walk-​in. Forced to go down the street to Royal nails, such a dissapointment!

Perfect black matte nails! Everything I wanted :) still in the salon but couldn’t wait to Unilocal a review about my experience.
I’m very picky with who does my nails because of many bad experiences. Maryam is wonderful and has taken her time to give me an incredibly relaxing experience.
Will be back and will recommend to friends and family for sure!
They also do eyebrow threading and henna which I would like to try next time!
If I could give more stars I would!

I arrived at 5, and the wait was 20 minutes. That’s a reasonable time frame, considering it was going to take about that long for indecisive me to pick a color anyway.
Accurately, 20 minutes later I was called to the pedicure chair. I was told they would not be able to do a manicure because they will close at 6 and didn’t have time. I understand wanting to go home at the end of a work day, but weirdly it’s a first for me. Most salons I’ve been to would stay over time a little, especially for a customer who is already sitting in a chair.
The girl that did my pedicure was a noob. I felt like a trade school student who was still gaining experience was doing my nails. She was very nice and friendly, but her quality of work was pretty poor. I didn’t complain though (even though I am now, sorry Internet!) because I knew she was trying and the effort was there.
I think management should take a look at their polish — most bottles were less than half full and thick. My girl should’ve used thinner with my polish instead of struggle bussing the whole time she was painting. I wish there was a larger color selection.
I came here specifically because I am jew and their Unilocal page featured a free eyebrow threading with service. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t honor the free threading because the deal expired in May and they just haven’t taken it off the Unilocal page. The manager offered $ 2 off if I wanted to do it, but I declined.

My favorite place to get my nails & pedicure done in town. Its clean, organized and they provide excellent service.
I usually ask for Mariam and shes great! Actually they all are. She takes her time and is very thorough with her work. I don’t ever do acrylics or gel here, so I can’t speak for those, but I’m very satisfied with just the basic mani/​pedi. I’ve also gotten my eyebrows threaded once and loved it. I don’t remember her name, but she made it quick and painless and the arches came out great.
1 free eyebrows threading if you check in or write a review.

Very clean, organized, & polite salon! They listen to your needs no matter how picky you are & I am VERY picky.
I came in wanting to a full set, my first one in years so I wanted everything perfect. I wanted silhouette acrylics, matte black, with a flower design. Ivonne I believe took care of me & tended to my needs. She was careful & understanding, patient & took her time to make them look perfect. She also gave me a pedi & was very gentle! I loved the outcome! Will definitely come back & will try the threading services next time!

Still a pretty fab place to get the olé hooves primped and polished.
I brought Kevin P in with me and he was less impressed than I. Apparently the massage chair didn’t reach his neck and he was weirded out by the nail tech’s chatting. Personally, it’s nothing out of the ordinary for a salon and didn’t bother me one bit.
The massage chair takes a few minutes to figure out. For the life of me I can never understand the point of the «flapping» massage motion during a pedicure. I mean, do you really want polish up your ankle? Keep the massage chair under control and this won’t be an issue.
Cash is king.

I LOVE the disposable liners they use!!!
I felt more safe in a way. The place is well maintained, clean and quiet. A very class nail salon!

So surprised and glad the reviews were right! They took care of me from start to finish and Maryam (sp?) Took her time at every step and did not rush … She was very nice and kind, and chatted with me and made sure I was comfortable and happy every step of the way. My nails look awesome. !!! Even when they were closed they finished with the same care and did not make me feel bad I was delaying them getting home.
Late !

I have found my new nail shop in Bako! Fast, clean, and Yvonne pays attention to detail! Will most definitely be back.

Got my nails done by Ivonne and it was the best nail experience I had out of all the nail salons! She was gentle and caring for my opinion plus she is an expert!!! Two thumbs up (:

Took my son and girlfriend to get her nails done for prom. We really like how friendly and personal all the staff is. They made a 1^st time progress super easy. The nails were wonderful, cute and classy for a prom setting. Brenda did an amazing job. Super cool, super easy to Explain what everything was to us. Happy we had her! Perk of the place that it was next to a cool cool vape shop.
I live out of the area, but when I roll into town, I will always come. Try the place out and you be surprised!

This is the best place in Bakersfield for a pedicure. Not only is the staff both friendly and skilled, but the actual salon and spa chairs are extremely clean. They use disposable liners in their spa tubs for each customer, which I very much appreciate. I’m not into toe fungus roulette…
Venus Nails provides a wide range of services and offers 30% off to first-​time customers. It’s a wonderful place in a very relaxing environment, and I look forward to my next time here!

My whole office goes here! It started out with a few discount coupons laying around and has turned into the owner of the salon coming and thanking us for all of our referrals. Everything they do is thorough. There isn’t a detail overlooked, and that’s just worth paying for.
My mom was visiting from Virginia and is disappointed they don’t have as clean, thorough, and friendly salon where she lives.
It is the only salon I will step my beautifully manicured toes into.
