Magic Nails 3555 Clares Street, Capitola, CA 95010

"I don’t usually write reviews but I’m doing this to let first timers know what you may be “scammed” into: 1) Requested for French nails, they glued white extensions at the nail tips (not what I’m familiar with but sure why not) but couldn’t even glue it properly (see photo). Asked the manicurist who glued it if that finger needs to be redone and she said it’ll be ok and left it as it is. 2) The manicurist was NOT gentle with my fingers especially when shaping the nails to the point the nail buffer cut into my flesh (see photo). 3) Hidden costs are only mentioned at the end of service. Requested to get almond shape instead of whatever was their standard, that’s an ADDITIONAL charge. Wanted to get cuticles cut, that’s another ADDITIONAL charge. Granted they waived these charges, usually these services are free based on my experience. But what disgusted me was they didn’t mention all those services were additional costs in the first place when I requested for them. Totally Cost: • $45 gel set • $5 white extension • $10 2 stickers for ring fingers"

"I really enjoy magic nails. The staff is kind, professional, and funny. They do a good job and are great at explaining how I can keep my nails healthy. They upgraded their massage chairs and even rub my back. Really like this place!"

"I love this place! I do not recommend getting acrylics removed here thought, they just rip the off instead of soaking them off but, the services other than that are great. Prices are cheap and the employees are so sweet. I always leaving loving my manicure and pedicure but again, I can not say the same for acrylics. If you are looking for cheap and great natural nail work I highly recommend!"

"This way to take off the acrylic nails is so dumb and really painful. I have never experienced something like this. They were tear my nails and of course made my natural nails hurts. The pictures I am sending is after I had to cut all of them but you can still notice the rest of the nails how they look like"

"I've been coming here to get my nails done by Peter and Helen since I was a kid. They've always been great! They perform high quality work and have always had great prices. And, their flower work is on past! I always get french tip and the lines are even and flawless each time! Plus, their eyebrow service is great."
