Twinkle Nails Salon

I've been a little hesitant coming here based on my friends past experience, but I was finishing up running errands and decided since I'm in the plaza already anyways to give it a try. I walked in kind of later in the day, about an hour before closing and asked if they have time. The girl said "yeah" and proceeded to continue with setting up Halloween decorations so I moseyed around and checked out the colors they had displayed on the wall. A few minutes later she pointed me to a chair and got set up. I gotta say it was kind of cool that they have the massage chair remote built in. The place is small, kind of dingy, and run down and you'd expect the prices to reflect that, but prices are same as other salons. I was thinking well, that means the service will be great.... Not so much... The staff chatted away in their language which is expected and I didn't care much except that I do wish they would talk to their customers a little more. The ladies that were also getting their nails done and I started chatting so that was a nice distraction. The actual pedi was unimpressive, I do a better job doing it myself, and the "massage" - what I was REALLY looking forward to after a long day- was just getting lotion rubbed on my feet and legs. I get that it was the end of the day and they're tired but I really felt like there was zero effort put into it. I doubt I'll be coming back, gonna continue sticking to my usual spot on the other side of town.

T at Twinkle nails is amazing!This was my first time trying out Twinkle Nails and I am hooked. I was lucky enough to snag a walk in on a Saturday. The salon is nice and bright with lots of natural light coming in. It was spotless and comfortable. I showed T an inspiration pic from Pinterest and she nailed it. I had gone in with an older acrylic overlay on. She worked her magic and I was out in under an hour! I 100% recommend and look forward to going back.

Just moved to Los Banos and this was the first nail salon I went to. First time my pedi was great, so I thought I had found a good nail salon in town. Second time was okay. I asked for a pedi and full set and was told they may not have time for the full set only the pedi because they had appointments scheduled... Fine. Only got the pedi done. Third and last time I went I asked for a full set and was told a simple "no we are busy. " Lmaoo okay! Didn't even bother to give me a timeframe or tell me to come back later. No worries, will not be going back!!

It's hilarious to read all the complaints and whiners on here about LB's newest & best nail salon. (just cannotplease some people I guess.)Myself I am very picky and I foundTwinkle nails to be 5 star service for 5 star customers! But in order to be in this class you'll need to be a fabulous tipper!Remember if you treat people well you're going to be treated with respect!So, if it's your first time~give your tip up front for extra incentive do excellent work! (That's what I did my 1st time now they are always happy to see me and have always done excellent work.) If you're sensitive tell your manicurist up front so they know! You need to communicate~| have very thin skin and bleed easily so I tell them so they can be careful!My favorite is dip powder~does not last as long as acrylic but I like it better~it looks more natural.Today I had a gel pedicure and had my acrylic nails removed expertly without a bit of damage to my own nail bed! Then Then got a dip powder they came out beautifully.Highly recommend this salon they're good, they are professional & if you're impatient just call ahead for an appointment....

Twinkle is located in the Walgreens center, next to the UPS store. Its a woman owned small business nail shop. The prices are comparable to others in LB. Nail techs are welcoming and do a great job. I have acrylic nails w/gel polish. I love the paraffin wax pedicure w/regular polish #iykyk TIPS to future customers. WALK INs: They are usually busy! You may need to wait 10 mins.MAKE AN APPT - BE 5 mins EARLY. If your not there ON TIME they will move on to the next customer. I've watched a client walk in 20 mins late. She expected to have her nails done right then. Her tardiness was my gain. As I was sitting in the chair watching this unfold. I've use Google Translator App to introduce myself and services I'd like to have. Then they are able to reply in Vietnamese. It totally works for me. Lol Đây là tiệm làm móng tốt nhất! Cảm ơn! There is no reason to be rude or raise your voice during your service. Everyone can hear you. They are providing YOU a service -TIP according. Sometimes you just need a reminder.

I went in for a pedicure. The technician was very friendly. I chose a deluxe pedicure. I thought the foot massage was a bit shorter than the 10 minutes. I think the price was high, $65. I love the color of my toes.

Absolutely loved the care for quality in the nails, excellent first impression and I'm hoping to get nails done again soon.

Ann is soooo amazing! She really takes her time to make sure everything is perfect, definitely coming again when I'm in town(:

Even if you have an appointment be prepared to wait. No regard for time here. I called to make an appointment and waited 30 minutes before I just walked out.

This place is only getting 1 star because of the woman who did a fantastic job with my daughter's nails. But to the rest of the girls, they deserve O stars. I booked an appt for 5 pm and got there a few minutes before. They had other clients come in for appts made after ours, and they were taken care of first. They didn't start my daughter's nails till 6 pm. She finished at 6:40 pm, and I still haven't gotten my full set done. At this point, I noticed everyone who's had an appt after ours was pretty much done or seated. Finally, a lady was going to do my set, not the owner and the sister who originally did acrylics, so I told the owner I'd like her to do mine, but she said I still had to wait because she was busy with another client WHO GOT THERE WAY AFTER WE DID. I understand it's the holidays, but it doesn't make sense when a lot of the ladies that booked after us with full sets as well were taken care of first. They didn't acknowledge us or update us on time. I asked one time at 5:45 pm to see how much longer. I decided to walk out without getting them done because I didn't think it was right to wait almost 2hrs with a toddler, even when I had made an appointment. I can wait, but not when they're not being fair. They didn't say a word to me when I left except the lady who did my daughter's nails. The owner and her sister didn't even look my way; they just started speaking in their language. Which I think is very unprofessional. I speak a different language, too, but I wouldn't do that in front of customers in this situation. I should've trusted the reviews and taken my business elsewhere! If you're going to prioritize walk-ins, then you might as well ditch the booking system.
