Glow nails and spa - Santa Barbara, California

This is by FAR the best nail salon in Santa Barbara! I felt like I had tried them all, but after I met Sang and experienced Glow Nails for the first time, I never want to go anywhere else. This has been my go-to place for at least 3 years now, and all my friends know just how much I love Sang & the Glow Nails team.

My nails stay healthy and I'm constantly getting compliments on them. There was one time where my nails chipped two days after my mani, and they accommodated me right away and got it fixed. The Glow Nails team really takes pride in their work and cares about their customers.

I usually do dip, and it lasts a good 3-4 weeks. My pedicures last even longer! 10/10 love love love Glow Nails <3

I've tried a few different spots in town and this is my best experience to date. Sang did a wonderful job with my nails. She was ultra precise, took her time, and made sure I was happy every step of the way.

However, what made this a 5 star experience were the little things. Sang remembered my name and used it often to talk to me. She convinced me to go outside my comfort zone with a little gold foil. (Which I now love). She asked me about my activities to give me nails that will last. The team is small but they were all working together to give everyone a good experience. She sanitized her hands often and everything felt very clean. Even though she was also managing the front, I never felt like an afterthought.

I'm fairly new to getting my nails done, and as noted above I've been to many places considered "the best" in town and have not yet felt this level of care. Sang and Glow Nails have a new regular with me. They're off the beaten path but worth it. Give them a try.

this is truly the best place in sb area for nails. i have lived here my whole life and can say no where beats the service, quality, and price. i never write reviews but i feel that glow nails truly deserves the best rating possible. the staff is so friendly, and want to make your visions come to life and are happy to do it. the level of artistic talent is beyond anywhere i have been in sb, and the passion for what they do i have never seen either. they are truly so happy to be there and do your nails!! the owner is so kind and REALLY knows what she’s doing. you get the best quality every time no matter what time you show up.

the place is so cute with decorations and absolutely spotless. SO CLEAN. thank you sang💜

New to the area and first time customer here. Terrible gel manicure experience. The guy seemed like he didn’t want to be there. Didn’t bother fully cleaning off my nails after buffing and filing but still applied the polish. He also didn’t even bother cleaning up the edges either. I was so annoyed and upset that I just paid and left because I didn’t want to be there any longer. Just sloppy work and will never return. Should have gone to another salon I tried out before this one but wanted to try here because of the great reviews. Sadly it didn’t live up to the positive reviews and I wasted my money.

My girlfriend had her nails done in LA and hated how they turned out. In a panic we looked for another nail salon and found Glow Nails and Spa - and thank God we did! Sang did an amazing job and saved the day!!

I love this salon! I’ve had wonderful experiences getting both manicures and pedicures. Sang is meticulous in her work and gives me beautiful nails every time. She is always up for the crazy colors I want to try, and always makes sure I’m happy with the result. They are fixing up the space right now and it is so cute! Everything is very clean and lovely.
