Darling Nails

So happy we found this place! Everyone is so nice, and they have the best kids chairs! This was our daughter’s first mani pedi and she was over the moon for the hello kitty chairs! 100% found our new spot forever!

My feelings towards Darling Nails are mixed. I've gone here for years, since before Covid and loved them. Since Covid, the quality and customer service has declined. I loved the way Andy did my nails, but he left. For my wedding in May I came here with my maid of honor, and we had to just take off the new set and go with press-ons It was a waste of money. Where my biggest issue lies is quality of service matching prices. In the past, I've had my skin rubbed raw from filing (with the electric one!). This last time, my nails were filed so aggressively my finger started bleeding. After I left, my fingers were raw to the touch. The nail shape was not correct and the speciality color I expected to pay more for didn't match the quality in the book AT ALL. After paying $62 I left with my gel poli

So I used to come here for years and went through a period of not doing my nails at all. A friend recently had invited me to get my nails done at different places and they were meh. But I was like I’m going to try Darling again being that they always did an excellent job previously. I am not a person that leaves reviews but I’m trying to start supporting businesses that have been awesome. And darling is the best. I love my nails and had Tina. I’ve had so many people ask me where I got them done and what I asked for and who did them. Tina took her time and did an amazing job and I love my nails and get so many compliments. They did a pedicure for me too and it still looks great from a month ago.

It was my second visit as a new customer. I based my choice on previous Yelp reviews. It was a great choice and Tina does an excellent fill on my manicure. Andrew also did a great pedicure. Darling Nails is my permanent stop for manicure and pedicure since I'm new to Bakersfield.

I had the deluxe mani/pedi. Andy and Pam took care of my hands and feet, respectively. Both did an outstanding job with the massage and nail care. It is one the best mani/pedi that I have ever had. Both took care to apply the polish as close to cuticle as possible, no gaps!!! Pam even added a sparkle top coat for a little pizzazz!
