It was very weird and awkward and I would not recommend this salon to anyone. I rate with 1 star because of unprofessionalism and weird personality and do not recommend this place and person to anyone. 1. First of all, Petunia was late. I arrived timely, the door was closed, and I was walking around the building wondering whether any other door is opened and whether the owner is out there. She eventually arrived about 10-12 minutes late with the Starbucks things in her hands, apparently stopping by at Starbucks, knowing and OK'ing being late for my appointment. 2. The room was very cluttered and filled with personal belongings. (Yes, I am picky when it comes to do any cosmetic procedure, and expect and appreciate clean, fresh, and stylishly furnished professional looking place). But this place looked like a mixture of the someone's cluttered house with the outdated nail salon. Yikes!! 3. To my surprise, she could offer only regular pedi, explaining that all other techniques are "not healthy" and she does not support other than regular techniques because she is "pursuing healthy life style". What??? 4. After all, she tried to convince me very hard to do hot wraps and massage, and I agreed for the massage alone, and immediately regretted - again, she did it so awkwardly, closing her eyes and moving her body from side to side, like she is doing some mantra or meditating or whatever. It looked crazy! 5. By the way, I was charged $$$ for regular pedi and 5 min massage (I could not stand it any longer). Please note, the appointment was about 1 year ago, so, perhaps, she improved since that time, I do not know, and really do not want to know.

Very bad experience tonight. Petunia seemed nice - but left me in huge pickle tonight while having a manicure & pedicure. I told Petunia I had a cracked a acrylic big toenail when I booked my appointment 4 days ago. She asked that I take the polish off to see the damage. I complied - she saw that I cut the acrylic at an angle before she started my pedicure. She was filing really aggressively - I told she my nail was hurting it she continued and broke the acrylic below the cuticle. She threw her hands in the air and told me to go get more acrylic. This is 6:30 PM and I have 2 days of big appointments which she knew about. She basically had a temper tantrum after she damaged my big toe. I have a mess thanks to trusting her - big mistake on my part... She continued to NOT accept any responsibility and said she was not finishing the pedicure. It is easy to be nice when all is going well. You really see a person's character when they can't or won't finish a job. I told her that her business integrity was not good. She repeated she had not done anything wrong. She apologized for breaking my nail but offered no resolution. VERY POOR CHARACTER IN MY OPINION! Hopefully Nothing goes wrong if you go to her for a nail services -because she will not take care of you.

Yesterday afternoon, I had a manicure and pedicure at Petunia's Place. It is a bit difficult to find the location as it a bit off of Cerrillos but there is adequate parking and easy access. It is just down the road from the Whole Foods and across the street from Allsup's. The small salon doesn't allow for groups but the individual attention to detail and hydration is an oasis. Over many years, I have been to several sub-par nail salons in Santa Fe and this spot is far and away the best I have experienced. It is a bit difficult to get an appointment--no walk-ins and because it small and good, they fill up quickly. But the service is excellent. She takes her time, is methodical, and she attends to the details. The salon is clean and hygienic and she focuses on each of your digits and nails to ensure that the shape is correct, the cuticles are clean and the polish is not merging into your cuticles. She carefully inspects each finger or toe. The massages and oils are quite nice as well. She is pleasant, friendly, and positive in a high desert, new age kind of way. It will fit your Santa Fe experience and expectations. I will be back and plan to recommend this spot to family and friends in Santa Fe.

Another delightful experience for my husband and I. BACK AGAIN from last year. The "fellowship" and engaging conversations were a blessing. We were once again meant to feel at home...although it is 23 below where our home is! Her attention to detail and my husbands specific needs are truly appreciated. It is like we are walking on clouds when we leave. We highly recommend this salon, especially to those from the colder climates. Oh ya, please closely follow her tips on great dining experiences!! If ya want to...also ask her about High School Wrestling. #Minnesota#snow n' cold escapees.....

I moved to Santa Fe in 2017 and found Petunia. She gives the best mani and pedis that I have ever had. This is a lot coming from someone who lived on the San Francisco peninsula and Chicago for the previous 30 years. Her pedicures get all my dead skin off and are not for the faint of heart. She is strong! Because of her long time residency, she has great incites into Santa Fe as well; I pick her brain regularly. Forget the Debbi-downer who wrote the nasty review. It makes no sense.

What a wonderful time I had with Petunia today! The time she spent on my mani/pedi was so relaxing! She loves what she does and is a real professional. An extra plus for me was sharing stories of our lives. Really special to talk with a new person about life. I will be back next time I'm here.

I received the best manicure and pedicure I have ever had from Petunia. Her salon, Petunia's Place, is an oasis of hydration, care and relaxation in the high desert of Santa Fe. I plan on scheduling with Petunia whenever I return to town. Excellent! Carol A. Aptos, CA.

I had a wonderful mani-pedi from Petunia today! Best I have ever had in Santa Fe actually. She cleaned and scrubbed and perfected my nails to a degree way above what I have received in other nail salons. I also enjoyed Petunia's entertaining, kind, and warm personality. It was fun! Thanks Petunia...I will be back soon!
