Excellent service and my nails have never looked better. Highly recommend Kera to be your trusted manicurist. She knows what she is doing and can make a real difference to having truly healthy nails.

Was not happy with my experience

Not taking any new clients due to "being too busy" you would think being busy would be a blessing at this time, but Kirk seemed quite irritated.

Called on a Thursday and was able to get a next day appointment with Kirk. Arrived to my appointment and was greeted by name upon entry. It was nice to be acknowledged by name since it was my first time there. It is a small, quaint shop. Very clean and organized. Kirk was finishing up with his previous appointment so he directed me to pick a color. There were several to choose from. I chose a color and sat down for a minute while he prepared the water for my pedicure. The service was as expected. The massage, however was exceptional! I got the sugar scrub in addition to the lotion massage. The color I picked came out beautiful! I am very happy!

This is the first time I come into the shop by recommendation. I took my grandma in for a pedicure, we got here a lil early for our appt but they took her in. The shop is small but the service is 5 stars. Keira took such good care of my grandma. She took the time to massage her tired feet and my grandma really enjoyed it. There was no rush not get us out, she took the time to get to know us. The shop is located in a small business center and there is plenty of parking. We got a spot right in the front. They follow Covid protocols and everything is super clean. There are only two people inside doing nails so you don't have to worry about crowding. I highly recommend it!

Swans was the first place I found back in 2013 when I moved to Aptos. At the time I had acrylic, and when I called them to ask about "fills" they explained that they did gel but not acrylic as you often see in the "quick in, quick out" nail salons. After going to Kera just once, I realized that what made her different from any, ANY other manicurist I had ever been to, was that she focuses deeply on "nail health" rather than just accepting brittle flaking, ridged nails underneath whatever product was laid on top of them. She avoids equipment that creates ridges in the nails, or mitigates the health and strength of nails in any way. If you are looking to rush through, this is probably not the place for you - and you should go to one of those walk-in places (you KNOW the ones I mean.) It's the difference between a hair salon and Supercuts. If you are looking for a place where you can have nice conversations and a relaxing setting where you can actually enjoy getting your nails done with someone actually interested in your well being, comfort and nail health, I could not POSSIBLY recommend Swans more.

I stumbled upon Swan's on Google maps and was lucky enough to get an appointment with Kera. I felt welcomed and comfortable as soon as I entered their cozy shop. It's immaculately clean and peacefully quiet. Kera did a beautiful job on my hands and feet which had been 6 months since my last professional mani/pedi. I'm now a regular.

The absolute best shop! You have to schedule ahead but It is well worth it! Small, sweet family run business -Kirk and Kera are quality manicurists who provide an excellent individualized service! Love them!

Fantastic! Kera and Kirk are amazing and true professionals. The old saw, "you get what you pay for" is definitely true here. If you want a quick mani or pedi that is super inexpensive, this is not your place. If you want a quality pedicure or manicure with a delightful, deep leg and foot massage, meticulous attention to your cuticles and calluses, an interesting conversation, beautiful polish, chocolate treats and other seasonal goodies, this is your place. Plan on spending about 90 minutes of pampering time for a pedicure if you are lucky enough to find an opening. Enjoy!

It's been a while since I've sang the praises of Swans of Aptos. Kirk has been doing my nails since I moved to the area in 1996. His service is fabulous, skills are superior and the environment of the salon is welcoming and fun. I've been here so long, it's like family. After just one visit, you'll feel like this is a place to come and see your friends not just a place to get the best mani, pedi, Shellac or fiberglass nails in Santa Cruz County. Hands down, no pun intended, the best nail treatments you can get in our area
