Amy was lovely - so friendly and easy to talk to. She took time to make sure the pedicure was a relaxing experience and my nails look beautiful! Will be a go to place for me from now on.

I visited this nail salon with my 2 year old daughter today, looking for a pedicure for my tired, pregnant mommy feet and legs. Amy did my pedi and she was incredible. Pleasant, friendly, absolutely amazing with my daughter and gave an incredible foot and calf massage. After painting my toes, she did my daughter's and was so kind and fast and I appreciated the fact that she included and spoke to my toddler about colors, what she was doing, and really made it a special experience for us. I will absolutely be using this salon in the future.

I think this place is cheaper than other nail salons. But they're not good at design nails.

Went to this nail salon for a full set with french tip. I had almond tips and they did a wonderful job. I was in and out of there very quickly compared to most nail salons. I enjoyed talking to the guy who helped me and he asked multiple times to confirm I was getting the design I wanted.

I've been going here for 3 years, and it's the BEST nail salon. They're patient, they just got a bunch of new gel polishes so their color selection is pretty good. Also, you cannot beat the price for what they charge. I usually just get gel polish and removal which is about $30-ish with tip. And a gel manicure with removal is about $40-ish with tip. I've never seen a nail salon with such good prices for their services. Gel removal is only $5... the lowest I've seen at other salons is $7. Also when they remove the polish they're very gentle to make sure you don't mess up your nail bed. I got gel from them twice a month for 11 months straight and I was perfectly fine. Thank you so much for your service. I love this place!

So I have mixed feelings about this place. I will start off by saying it's awesome for the price and the people are very nice. Minh is even there painting the nails himself. I went in for graduation nails and the place is a bit dirty and they kinda just shake the nail dust off before seating you. I did ask for a very complicated design, and they did an excellent job. I then went back later to get gel nails and they were nicely painted. My only complaint is that my nails weren't soaked and they didn't remove my cuticles or apply any lotion before painting my nails. They simply removed the old acrylics and threw the paint on top of my nails. But again, the people were nice and the nails will come out looking great, just don't expect to be pampered.

Tried this nail salon for the first time based upon other Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint! The owner was the nail technician who worked on my nails and he was very friendly and accommodating! And another nail technician who also worked on my nails was very detailed and meticulous with the nail art/design I wanted. The prices were also super reasonable! $30 for a gel manicure; an additional $10 for the design I wanted (which was intricate, so I was shocked at how good a price they were charging). Would absolutely go back for the friendliness factor and the service.

Minh Ly does an excellent job with the gel manicure. He is very detail oriented and my gel manicure looks fabulous. He is also very kind and the prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely be coming back, 10/10!

I was in town for a wedding and needed a manicure. I scheduled with Minh who provided a very nice, natural manicure as I had requested. He took his time to safely remove my gel and made recommendations to maintain the health/integrity of my nails, which I really appreciated.

I never like to admit that my sister is right. Never. But after her and I had both been to several nail salons in Santa Barbara and Goleta separately, she kept telling me that I needed to visit Minh Ly's for my next mani-pedi because they are simply the best for the price. Sure enough, I was well overdue for some self care with my cuticles beyond repair. My sister made us an appointment together. Sadly due to work I was running 20 minutes behind and I told them over the phone that if they need to move to their next customer appointment that I can reschedule. They simply said to take my time! I arrived all stressed and sweating, yet Me hong (Amy) and Huong (Bee) reassured me that all is well. After I had calmed down, the sweet Vietnamese gals of countless years of nail experience took amazing care of my sister's and my nails. We sadly suffer from horrible ingrown nails in our toes, yet they were sure to dig them out and clean up our feet to a brand new condition. The pedicure consisted of a foot bath, nail and cuticle trim, callus pumicing, a scrub, massage, and painting or buffing. Then they continued with the same services but on our hands. I left extremely pleased with the friendliness, care to attention, their ability to carry on a conversation, and patience with my late arrival. I will definitely be reaching out soon for another nail appointment--especially at $50 for a mani-pedi.

It is our first time to try this nail salon in Santa Barbara. We drove from LA to visit my husband in SB, thus, we were not able to make any nail appointments. Upon researching in Yelp, I stumbled upon this place and gave them a call to check if they could accomodate me and my daughter. We were glad to give this place a try. Amy did the acrylics of my daughter and she was pleased with the result. For me, I also had my eyebrows waxed by Be. Customer service is good and prices are reasonable!

I just had the most amazing experience at Minhly's Nails. The ladies were so incredibly sweet and B (name of nail technician) did an excellent job on my nails. I went in today to get a gel manicure and pedicure. It was the BEST one I have ever received. B took her time and was very thorough. I get very bad ingrowns on my toe nails and they become very painful if not dealt with. She knew exactly how to cut the nails to relieve the pain. Others have just cut the big toes but she did all of them. I was shocked how much she focused on them to help me. The foot massage she gave me was also amazing and she did it for a decent amount of time. For the price and the service I received today, I will recommend this nail salon to everyone I know. I do advise making an appointment because the staff is small but they do a miraculous job!!!
