I made a last minute appt for my daughter to get a pedi and acrylics. Everyone was so incredibly kind and made her feel welcome. She wanted a specific color/set for an upcoming special occasion and they gave her exactly what she requested. Their excellent customer service was refreshing after having a not so pleasant experience at another salon. Thanks again to the amazing ladies at Ara Spa!

Went here for the first time today and got a regular pedicure, the service was prompt and I didn’t feel rushed. My nail technician paid attention to detail and was friendly. Looking forward to coming back here :)Service: Pedicure

Best salon in Davis! The nails speak for themselves. They offer gel x, acrylics, nail art, the works. Great prices and services, super nice owner and employees, and kid friendly. I’ve never had one of their manicures peel or separate or fail between appointments. They’re also awesome about saving the day when there’s a nail “emergency” - ie, when I do something d*** and snap a nail a week or two after an appointment. They’ve always helped fix it, even when I walk in during a busy day without calling. LOVE this place!!Services: Foot massages

Getting the actual acrylics was great! Absolutely no pain and they looked fantastic. For about two days. It'd been about a week and four nails have broken off, one tearing off a bit of my nail underneath. The paint also flaked off on my thumbs, which may be because the gel wasn't completely dry when he added the last coat. I was so happy when I got them done, but they didn't last! I get acrylics all the time, and I wasnt doing anything crazy to break the nails.

I am writing this review to prevent other clients from experiencing the same thing.I strongly advise against getting your powder or acrylic nails removed at this place.During my recent visit to remove my powder nails, the lady who assisted me seemed to have no experience or knowledge on the process. Consequently, I left with two bleeding fingers and extremely damaged and sore nails. I have had my nails removed multiple times before and never encountered such an issue.Instead of using the standard foil technique, the lady directly started digging at my nails with a plastic shard, causing injury. When she realized she was hurting me, she proceeded to ask me to dip my whole hand in a bowl of acetone, which resulted in burning and drying my hands.I do not usually write bad reviews, but this was an extremely disappointing experience.Services: Polish removal

I now routinely get pedicures here. They are very good and include some light foot and calf massage, abrading and hot stone. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.

I really liked the nail technicians there. All were friendly. Prices were also very reasonable. I had an appointment but they do accept walk-ins if it’s not too busy.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because although I did not have a good experience, my mother really enjoyed it. I got a gel manicure, and while I was looking at colors my nails were cut SUPER short, which was not what I asked for. The shape on some nails was lopsided which I had to file at home to correct and the sides were not clean. The people at the spa were very friendly and nice, and my mom got a pedicure which she really enjoyed. The prives are reasonable and they also offer a student discount of 10% which is nice, but I don't think I would go back.

Called in at 3pm to see if Jenny was available for a 5:00 appt and she was!! Came in 15 minutes early and staff was very friendly; they had me sit in the massage chair while i waited. I asked for high smile french tips with chrome powder and provided a photo of what I wanted and got EXACTLY that! Jenny has great attention to detail, she walks you through every step making sure your design is exactly how you want it. She is gentle and very precise yet is quick at her job. I am beyond happy with my nails and will be coming back! Thank you, Jenny!!

I got acrylics for the first time here and had a good experience! My nails lasted 4 weeeeks! Through a move out and move in as well as agricultural field work. I was very very impressed! The first time I got them my nails did feel very sore afterwards so beware to make sure that following day not to be too busy with your hands. Jenny did my nails and she did amazing on the line designs i asked for!!

AMAZING!!! They can do anything! Jenny was so good! She gave me a great design + ombré that looked so cute! She took her time and was super technical, she always made sure if I was okay and was super nice and fun to be around. She even went overtime to finish <3. These were my birthday nails and 10/10 best nails I’ve ever gotten. I almost cried from how pretty they were.
