I went in to the Angel's nail salon on San Pedro and explained that I had recently had a total hip replacement. I told the nice owner, Jennifer, that I was embarrassed because I can't shave my legs yet or cut my own toenails. I have been stressed about having my first post op pedicure. Jennifer was sweet and when I asked if she would be the one doing my pedicure, she said yes. When I came back 35 minutes later, she had someone named Catherine do my pedicure instead. I have waited two hours before writing this review as I didn't want to leave a negative review. I feel compelled to warn future customers. The only thing Catherine ever said during the appointment was, "Let me move it! Let me move it! Let me move it!". She scolded me like a child when I was trying to position my foot for her. She appeared to be seething the entire time. She cut/filed my toe nails in a pointed oval shape. They look like finger nails. What a horrible experience. I tipped Catherine 33%, not because she was a kind human being, not because she did a good job, but because my feet needed help. Jennifer, if you read customer reviews, you will see negative reviews on Catherine. Maybe you can coach her on how to be a better person. Or at least neutral? I won't be back.

I came here because my mom and godmother are longtime patrons of the salon. Jennifer is sooo sweet, but for some reason has never done my nails - she hands me off to someone else every time. Kathy did my mani once and did a great job. Really solid excellent attention to detail. I was a little annoyed by her upselling of dip vs gel (what I went in for), but was happy overall. The last few times Jennifer has put me with Catherine and... to say it hasn't gone well is an understatement. She has seemed rushed with me to the point of frustration if I don't put my foot back in the water or take it out fast enough. The first time she gave me a deluxe pedicure without me asking for it. Honestly, it wasn't worth it. She didn't do the exfoliation long enough and she didn't let the oil absorb into my skin before wiping it off. Catherine also has a bad habit of cutting my toenails round which I don't like and didn't ask for. She not only cuts them round, but she cuts them super far down to the point she has cut me and caused me to bleed every time. She scolds me for not going in soon enough to have my ingrown toenails trimmed and then doesn't take care of them. She actually cuts them round which - wait for it - causes ingrown toenails. That would all be bad enough, but the constant cutting my toenails so short that I bleed because she's cutting live tissue has got to be a health code violation. I'm giving this two stars because Jennifer is nice and seems to do good work for my mom although the nail polish always chips unusually fast.

I found this salon on a whim and I will recommend it to anyone. This is one of the only salons I know of that will do an actual acrylic nail soak off versus ripping the nails off. Pedicures are delightful as well. They always take their time and never rush you. I also appreciate the owner always remembering myself and my husband.

I was trying to get a mani pedi and then after filing my nail bed and cuticles down to the bare skin Catherine said she didn't want to do the gel, then proceeded to smack my hand and give me nail oil then said thank you. I was going on a trip and wanting my nails painted. Thank you Catherine for nothing and for making me feel terrible before my vacation.

Owner is super sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy. Most of the time my nails come out great - but anytime the man that works there does my nails they don't look good. Uneven cut, polish on my cuticles, and the polish is lumpy and bubbly.

I needed to remove dip nails during a short lunch break, and I was able to walk in and get everything done within 20 mins! They were great at getting me taken care of, and dip removal was only $10. I had a great experience here and would go back for a pedicure!

This is the best Nail Salon in ABQ! The owner is incredibly sweet and will go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and to make sure you love your nails! The service is also very quick but you never feel rushed. Prices are also very good. I've gotten dip nails twice here and have loved them both times! Seriously - try this place out!

I have been going here for over 10 years on and off. Our visit here was about a month ago. The service was VERY poor. Prices were not posted and went up as of course you could expect these days. The set of nails my daughter had done was nickeled and dimed. They charged extra for shape (almond) and was also charged again for color. I was shocked at the quality of work on myself and daughter for the price. Uncaring staff, would not recommend, not going back.

This place has new owners as of about 5 months ago!! The new owner is amazing!! She's kind and doesn't try to sell you stuff you don't need!! I have taken myself and my girls ages 4 and 8 to different nail salons in the area! This is the 5th place we have been! We came here because they other place we made an appointment at was closed even though they BOOKED 3 of us the day before Valentine's Day!! I called Angels and the owner answered!! She told us to come as soon as we could! We got in and MAN WERE WE IMPRESSED!! My 4 year old commented on how clean it was.... My 8 year old was happy they weren't playing the news or soap opera shows on high volume I was just happy to get us girls into a nice and friendly nail salon!! I'll be telling everyone in the 505 about Angels!! Thank you ladies for making our valentine's so special!! Also most places will make you put tips or nails on to do dipping powder BUT NOT HERE SHE USED MY REAL NAILS!! WHICH IS WHAT I WANT!! They did everything to make us "their" customers HAPPY!! We will see y'all soon!!

I have been too many nail salons but there is a reason why I keep going to this one. The staff is so friendly and nothing but amazing. The nail tech here is so nice and always does my nails so pretty. The amazing thing that I love about her is that she always has great ideas when I am unsure of what I want which is something I'd really look for in a nail tech. I will continue going back to this business because they are so amazing and consistent and I definitely recommend them. From someone who has been getting their nails done for over years years consistently I have nothing but amazing things to say about them.

Finding a great nail salon with technicians who actually care is one of the hardest things to do, and me being the most picky person on the planet when it comes to my nails doesn't help the cause. Fortunately, I believe my search has finally come to an end. At Angels Care Salon they are just as the name states, Angels who care. From the moment I walked in over two weeks ago, I knew I had found "the one." The salon was very clean and well kept and I was instantly greeted and taken care of. I went in for a new set of acrylics and a gel pedicure. My technician's name was Vivi. She was extremely friendly and when I showed her a picture of what I wanted, she immediately got super excited and said that she was able to do that and how pretty it was going to look. This made me feel at ease and comfortable that my expectations would be met. Well let me tell you, Vivi not only met my expectations but completely exceeded them. My nails came out better than the reference picture! The shape is absolutely perfect and they held up extremely well the whole two weeks until my rebase appt. My pedicure came out just as perfect! I went back yesterday for my rebase appointment and I was just as blown away as the first time. I highly, highly recommend this salon and if you ask for Vivi when you go in, I promise you will not be disappointed!

Did an awesome job on my nails! I highly recommend. Most places the polish comes off in a week, this place my nails look amazing until they've grown out. She even painted a flower on one of my fingers.
