Luxury Nails

This definitely the best nail salon in Carp! Everyone here is very friendly and they greet you with a smile! Prices are reasonable considering the time they take to ensure a great pedi! Always satisfied!

Did an ok job with the manicure, but after I asked her the price and handed her the correct cash with a 15% tip, the manicurist ran down the street after me telling me that I didn’t tip her enough. I tipped her the amount I thought she was due for the quality, but I was mortified that she would literally RUN down the street after me asking for more cash. I will never return.

I have been here many times for mani-​pedis and waxing. They do a decent job but are priced little higher than competition. A little pushy with trying to sell upgraded services. I also think color selection could be better on the more natural/​neutral palate. Nice staff!

Great location.

I’m not sure why they think they can charge $ 10 to take off my old nails
And the worst part was that she left in the middle of my manicure to help some other customer and she was gone for 10 minutes while I’m sitting here hoping I don’t get a ticket in timed parking
Save your TIME AND MONEY AND DONT BOTHER

If I could give zero stars, I would. I had come in with a friend previously and was quoted $ 55 for a no-​chip mani and regular pedicure. My friend bought me a gift certificate. When I came back, I was told that was not correct. I recommended to Don, that it might be good to make sure to quote the prices correctly. He was not open to the feedback and just made sure I knew I was wrong. If I did not have the Gift certificate, I would have left.
My nails looks okay. Not great, especially my toes as two of the them were cut crocked.
Lots of other places in carp for nails… I will be checking somewhere else out.

(1) The manicurist should not have been working today. With her coughing and runny nose, she had some kind of cold or the start of the flu. Luckily, I did not have anything but nail polish applied by her (i.e., no skin was cut for germs to enter) because… see item #2.
(2) She was unable to file my nails without being uneven with edges that weren’t smooth. I asked for the file to do the job myself because she couldn’t manage this basic step. Who wants to go home with fresh nail polish applied, only to have to even out the shaping because the edges are jagged and not even???

Months later and my nails are still messed up and growing back weaker than ever. May have ruined me for pedicures forever

Very dirty unfriendly and rushed. I scheduled 2 appointments for 4:00 & waited 30 minutes and still no one helped us. Watched the manicurists work and go from one customer to another. Working on feet on one lady to nails polished on another. They never washed there hands. They empty the pedicure bath and then refill for the next customer never cleaning just rinsing the basin. We left because we were grossed out!

They did a really great job! My roommate and I came in for two pedicures and they took great care of us. They have awesome spa chairs that can recline and move easily. Multiple people kept walking in to inquire when they could be seen, and instead of rushing past my foot scrub to get to the next client like most places would of done, the gentleman took his time and stayed focused on me. I will be back! Plus they are right next to coffee bean so you can easily pick up some coffee to complete your pampering experience!

Definitely been better places… I live in Carp didn’t like Elite nails and don’t really like this place either… But we only have 3 nail salons in this city… So I’ll deal. Prices are not great and the service sucks. When you walk in they act like you’re speaking a different language when you ask for a mani and pedi… Or whatever for that matter. They don’t greet you or notice you even walk in, you have to sort of acknowledge them first… even if you have a question… The guy sort of just answers like he’s so tired of talking and he’s been talking all day. Pretty much is bothered by you. So after telling the 3^rd person what I wanted they looked at each other & got started… They act like they’re doing you a favor by giving you their services… But I have thick skin so it doesn’t worry me… New people beware!

Went in here while I was visiting. I got a gel manicure and spa pedi. They were extremely short staffed. I initially had to wait 30 minutes, which I totally understand since it was a walk in. Well, 45 – 50 minutes later that they started. I’m used to having someone do my mani and pedi at the same time. Unfortunately, they did them one after another. I felt like I was there the entire afternoon. To top it off, my gels usually last at least a week and a half plus, my nails started chipping/​peeling before a week was up. No bueno!!!

I went with a friend this week to get a gel manicure and our experience was quite pleasant! The man at the counter was a bit quick and determined to get us to pick a color and take a seat, but we didn’t mind! It’s not the fanciest place but everything seemed cleaned and orderly. The ladies who helped us were very sweet as well!

This is my first time at this nail salon and I really like. This was also my first time in the area and getting a pedicure! I went with my boyfriend’s younger brother’s girlfriend and my boyfriends mom. We have gone to get our nails done before but never at this salon. We went on a Friday around 3pm. We didn’t have an appointment. We got lucky and found parking pretty close to the salon.
When we walked in, there was about 3 other women getting their nails done. A lady that worked there, was quick to greet us at the door and asked if we wanted manis and pedis. We all responded yes and we picked out our colors. While we were doing that, they were preparing our chairs and told us to sit down.
The lady that did my pedi, was an older lady, really nice, somewhat quiet but did her job well. I got the deluxe pedi (which I recommend if you are at the beach all day). She went on to doing a standard pedi and did the salt scrub with hot towels, which felt amazing! The whole thing was $ 35 which was not bad — considering other places with high prices!
The place overall was really nice, clean and quiet (even though on a main street). There wasn’t any horrible acid smells (like many other places) and they really took their time with their work. The chairs were all in good condition, massage was great and the seat reclined also. Over all I had a really nice experience here. Very relaxing and stress free. Check it out when you are in the area!

Not going to lie… there was nothing impressive about this place. I have been to other establishments in town that offer a way better experience for the same price. Plus, I found them to be kind of pushy when it came to upgrades in the packages they offer. My experience here wasn’t bad, but I prefer other places over Luxury Nails.

Best nail shop in Carpinteria!

Awful they don’t wash their hands after touching other people feets and then come over to top coat my nails.
I asked her to wash her hands first and she complained in her language. Bad all around, don’t use thier services.

This place treated me well right from the start. I called just before I came in, they were very accomidating and I was well taken care of. I hadn’t gotten a pedicure or a manicure for a looooong time for various reasons. Since I didn’t make an appointment, I was hoping only for a standard manicure and, if they had time, I would request a pedicure. They were very nice and said yes to both. Well then, I pressed my luck on and asked if they, drum roll please, had solar powder. Don thought I meant, Shellac, which is something I had considered since I had lost all hopes of ever finding a salon that actually had solar powder, pearl tips and knew what they were doing. I repeated my request…
For those of you not privy to solar powder or have had it and are rolling your eyes, «what’s the big deal it’s been around» you have no idea how elated I was. Since I wasn’t getting married or going to the prom back in 2006, I had stayed away from the typical pink and «French-​overly-​bright-​Jersey-​acrylic-​thick-​white» or the pink and «American-​thick-​dull & dirty-​not-​so-​white» typical powders and nails. Go solar or go naked. Since moving here almost 5 years ago, I had found only one other salon that had solar powder that had to special order the pearl tips. Well, they tried and for a few reasons they lost my business. I gave up looking for it again and braved the world with natural nails. sigh… After 2 years of chipped polish, broken natural nails and at times almost turning to press on nails…
Back to the story… I boldly asked if they had solar powder and pearl tips. Holy smokes they had BOTH. Plus they actually listened when I gave my preferences and their execution was spot on. Thin, narrow and dremel buffed. Who knew that stopping in to see my gal pal in Carp would have me leaving with solar nails?!! They look amazing, just ike the old days when I first had them done and WAY better than the previous SB salon attempts. Oh. and my pedicure was great too! I almost forgot to mention it. :))
Well done Luxury Nails in Carpinteria! Excellent and courteous service with a solar nail bonus! I have found my new nail salon.

This is right around the corner from my house. They can always get me right in and have plenty of staff.
The cheapest pedi is $ 25 up to $ 80. Be aware that the staff always want you to get the next expensive treatment by offering it to you 2 – 3 times (i.e.: Do you want this pedi instead? Do you want a flower on your nail? Do you want me to rub your feet for five minutes longer?).
I think they do a good job. They get in there and get your nails clean. I went at 4pm today (typically when other nail salons are winding down and not doing their best work) and my nails came out great.

I needed to kill some time in Carpinteria and found myself in the mood for some beautification. I walked into this corner nail salon for a mani pedi, and the experience was pleasant.
The space wasn’t super deluxe, but it was clean and very open. It was also well-​staffed and organized and they were able to take me walking in without any problems. The staff was friendly, and the man who seemed to be in charge (and who also painted my fingernails) was kind of a fun character — a middle-​aged Asian man in a tight T-​shirt with a blinged-​out belt buckle and a chain around his neck.
As for the mani pedi, I’d say it was pretty decent, though not really standard. First of all, I got the manicure and the pedicure simultaneously. This double-​team approach felt a little bit strange. That said, both pieces were independently nice. I especially enjoyed the blue foot mask and the heated lotion rubbed on my hands. The paint jobs were both great and long-​lasting as well.
The mani pedi cost $ 37, which seems a little pricey for a place that looks relatively unassuming. I doubt I’ll ever find my way back to this nail salon in Carpinteria, but if you’re in the neighborhood and your nails need work, Luxury Nails does a decent job.
