First, BAO is amazing. He's worth 5 stars himself. If you're able to come in and ask for Bao for a pedicure, I highly recommend him. He was gentle and also really good at making sure I was comfortable and my toe nail beds were clean. He was SO SO friendly and super sweet and worth the visit, to be perfectly honest. Otherwise, the service was a bit slow. When I got in I stood there while two people walked to the front desk and essentially ignored me.

I finally had someone greet me and I let them know I was waiting for my friend who was getting a facial there (not sure about their experience, but the aesthetician seemed nice) I would say - worth it for a pedicure, I got the Milk & Honey and it was $46 - but I would say only if you went to Bao. They also don't really do appointments - seems primarily walk in unless there are multiple people and services you're doing.

I just had an express pedi. Terrible experience. The pedi chair was filthy. He was very rough and almost cut me with the file twice. I asked him to be gentle and he rolled his eyes and acted like he couldn't understand me. I had to ask to get my nails trimmed on the second foot. He was very irritated before he even got to me. I do not recommend this place at all.

They are always so rushed and are not worried about quality, rather quantity. I gave them a second chance, lesson learned I guess. They try to up charge you on everything, then get mad when you say no (Unfortunately typical though). My pedicure was mediocre, but my manicure was the worst I've had. When did they stop doing cuticles, massage and oil? I sat down, immediately it was file and started to do the base for dip polish. Finished the last layer and tells me to wash hands and meet up front.

The pictures speak for themselves. I was never asked for shape (I had medium length nails before he cut them all short), so much excess it looked absolutely horrible. I went to pay and asked him if he was done and it was clear he was when he told me the total. After I told him that it was a horrible service and showed him, he brought over a bottle of cuticle oil (because he never did that during the actual service) and POURED it into my hands at the counter. I'm so bummed, it was a time for me, my daughter and mom for Mother's Day & we all unfortunately had something not go well during the service. Cali Spa is not what it used to be.

Cali is still our go to spa but they need housekeeping! So much clutter and looks unprofessional and the smell of food is not relaxing!

I have been going to Cali Spa for years and normally have a great experience. The last few appointments have been below average and today was a tipping point. I received a set of dip nails and my technician didn't fully polish them with shellac, leaving exposed dip powder. I only received one coat of shellac (if you even want to consider it as a full coat). My technician, Jimmy, would not fix my nail after nicely asking him three separate times.

He was not kind about it either, he just wanted to push me out the door. I am looking for recommendations for a new nail salon on the North side, if any other Yelp users have a good recommendations, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
