Minaillium

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s by far the best nail salon in SCV! I always ask for Jody because she’s amazing at pedicures. She can do a work of art! She’s so sweet and the environment is very relaxing. Reasonably priced also! For the work and hospitality they give to customers I think they are extremely well priced!

Horrible application of cheap quality gel nails. UV light was going on and off. Horrible! Waste of $ 35 and who knows what the cheap gel polish and questionable UV light did to my hands

I have been coming to this nail salon for years! Lindsey has been my nail girl for ever! She is the best. But to be honest. Everyone here is amazing. If Lindsey is off… Mary, Kim, etc. everyone is great. Best part of a pedicure is the leg and foot massage and I kid you not. 5 minutes each leg. Amazing. Not rushed. Clean. sterile…very friendly… and they are all so nice and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone!!! I have know so many people that always go to other nails shops but always come back here. Why cuz there are the best. Thank you Milnailium.

I decided to come here despite the bad reviews and give this company the benefit of the doubt. Boy was that a bad decision. The top photo is what I asked for which is a SIMPLE ombré technique that I could do myself. The woman that did my nails not only showed up 20 mins late for my appt BUT she also charged me extra for «French tip». She didn’t even correct the lines to make it look like French tip. I don’t know about you but I can do my own nails better than this. When I asked her to fix it she gave me an attitude and refused to. My nails look like I am 12 years old! I am a professional working woman so not only did I pay a ridiculous $ 40 for these awful nails but now I’ll have to get them redone by someone who is actually capable of doing nails. Very Unhappy !

Not very clean they didn’t clean the nail files and just kinda dirty all around, workers were not very friendly, and they got nail polish on my skin and it gave it a sloppy look. Only reason I gave 2 stars was because it wasn’t expensive.

We stopped by really quick to get a manicure! Great Service! It was fast service! They were friendly and very polite. In my opinion this is a great fast for a fast manicure!

I found this place a couple of years ago. Kim gives the best pedicures. Won’t go anywhere else for my pedis.

An outstanding Professional salon with friendly artistic staff. The environment is tranquil and pleasant. A beautiful water lilly bamboo mural sets the tone.
I highly recommend this establishment. You won’t be disappointed.

I don’t know how there could be so few reviews here. Jodi started cutting my nails (and my daughter’s) over 10 years ago, and this truly is one on the «hidden gems» in the SCV. Jodi and her husband David are just the nicest people! As a guy, I don’t get my nails cut all that often, but Jody cuts men’s nails better than anyone ever has.
This is just a great place…

I hate to say but pretty rude customer service. I came once before and they were rude then too. I thought I’d give them another chance. Did not feel welcome. Bummer.

I love Minaillium. My mother has been coming to this nail salon for over 20 years. She used to go when she was pregnant with me, and over the course of growing up I was repeatedly brought back. I’ve known Jodi and David for for about 17 years.
They are such wonderful people, and the other staff are so kind. They always do a great job. They may not be in the best location, it may not look as fancy as other nail salons, and it may be cheap, but everyone takes their time to achieve what you are looking for.
They are very good when it comes to something you don’t like. They’ll give you discounts or even just start over from scratch with no problem. They are truly a hidden gem in Santa Clarita.
If you are looking for waxing of any sorts, especially eye brows, look to Jodi. She takes her time and does everything with excellence. I’ve had disasters in the past, but Jodi always has the best solution possible. David on the other hand does the best nails. Nail painting, designs, acrylics, you name it and he does it.
I will have to say, some of the customers who are regulars at this place treat the staff with the not-​so-​best attitude. They talk like they can’t understand English, and they’re always having some type of stupid remark or problem. From my experience, early morning appointments or late afternoons are the best to relax and just enjoy without having some woman get loud for no reason or talk your ear off about one of her family problems.
Nails typically runs anywhere from $ 25 – 35, and brow/​lip/​face run anywhere from $ 12-​$ 20. Cheap, but the best quality around.

Hands down the best place for acrylic nails. David does the best work, but it’s really difficult to get an appointment. I’m a dog groomer, my nails get beat up… Constantly in water, hit with the dremel, and they take the occasional bite. When David does my nails they can take all the abuse without lifting, cracking, or breaking for a month! Love David and his attention to detail!

I would not recommend this nail salon. They rushed through my nail polish change, did a messy job and they did not pay attention. The nail tech got up several times during my appointment to deal with another customer. The quality of work was subpar… would not recommend at all!!!

I have been going to this salon for over 2 years with standing appointments every other week, they do a good job, but every time i had to wait at least 15 min. before David took me. the last time i waited 45 minutes while he was doing another client, in that period he didn’t have the decency to get out of his chair and let me know how long I have to wait and reason for it, so after 45 minutes I just left and announced that I will never come back.
I think he rather take a walk in customer to make more money instead of taking care of existing one.
By the way neither him or his wife called me to apologize and ask me to go back.
I guess either apology is not in their culture or he is just rude and a lousy business operator.

Been coming here for years, never a bad experience! Highly highly recommend!!!

Not the worst, but definitely not the best.
$ 30 for mani pedi. Good price, but I felt extremely rushed. My pedicure was nice, lengthy message but my manicure was so quick and there were spots on my nails that weren’t covered. The color selection was very minimal and the massage chair hurt, I needed up turning it off fairly early. I’m new to the area and I’m still looking for a decent salon.

Some things are not as they seem. Good advice. My girlfriends assured me that this was the case with this salon. They said «see David» and you will not be disappointed.
It has been a long time since I had ventured out get a full set of (don’t gasp here) acrylic nails. I had been completely unsatisfied with prior salons and really had resigned myself to a life of unsightly cracked, chipped, ugly nails. My own nails and the nail salons failing me. I rationalized this existence telling myself I was saving money. I tried creams, polishes and vitamins. Nothing could help breathe life into my nails. I was even successful in convincing my girlfriend to take her acrylics off and go without, but she couldn’t hack it and I was left with the ugly hands in the group.
«Go see David» she said. «Go, you’ll be happy you did.» So on a Thursday, I made the appointment… for Monday. Over the weekend I had plenty of time to talk myself out of this appointment. All the usual arguments were tossed about and rationalized. On Monday morning I was quite convinced I would cancel the appointment. I even made other plans of things I would do during this newly freed up lunch hour. Easter shopping, salad bar, even getting gas seemed a more likely place for me this afternoon.
About the time I was happy with this decision I looked down at my hands. «Ugh, I need this nail appointment.» So, I went. Down the street, behind KFC, where you wouldn’t expect anything there was this salon. I walked in and was hit with the smell of a foreign lunch combined with acetone. The case of polish had few brands or colors that I knew of our would choose. I was doubtful, but I was here, and determined to see it through.
David is apparently very popular. Tough to get an appointment with, always busy. I had an appointment and I clung to it even though he was late from his prior client and left me waiting. When I got him he was all mine. I gave him the strict requirements for my new nails. «Would he falter?» I wondered. No, he listened and proceeded to execute. It took nearly two hours. Perfection is not achieved quickly. He was meticulous. Asked me questions about length and shape. Performed a miracle. Yes… a miracle.
I have been getting my nails done for many years. More than I want to admit. And here in this hole in the wall shop, in Newhall, with thinning hair, glasses, and a thread bare shirt sits an artist. An artist who stunned me by listening to what I wanted and then executing with perfection. I have never had a set of nails turn out so perfect, so right on the money, as these. David is worth the wait. I’ve been to nicer salons (check my reviews), paid way more money, and been unhappy when I left. After leaving David I was elated. Finally someone understands.
Thank you David.

Very nice people. I had an appt but still waited for the tech for 15 minutes. The pedicure was ok, the massage was good but super short. In the end the nail art was really good but I feel like paid too much for it based on previous salon experience. Pedicure $ 20.00, nail art $ 18.00=$ 38.00 overall I felt like I overpaid about $ 8.00. They need to give the salon a big cleaning, I felt like it was lacking there also. I won’t go back. :(

They do a really good job here. They could spend a little more time on the massage part of the pedicure, But you don’t have to wait too long and their pedicure designs are adorable. They are courteous and the shop is clean. And if you bring in a design that you like they will try to do it for you. Their prices are also very very reasonable

This was our first time there, we normally go to a place in Encino but didn’t feel like driving to the Valley. So I took my teenage daughter to Minaillium a few weeks ago for dueling mani-​pedis. Everyone was very friendly and we were taken on time. The pedis include a pretty lengthy foot/​leg massage and that was awesome. They also do fun designs (my daughter had pretty awesome zebra design). Prices were very reasonable.
The reason for three stars is because my polish was chipping after less than a week. I am used to having gels, so maybe I am a little harder on my nails than most, but I still thought it was the quality of the polish. I didn’t see much cleaning of spa basins going on between customers and the place I normally go to has cleaning goes on constantly and is very noticeable.
Lastly, when we went to pay I was chastised for wanting to add the tip to the credit card charge rather than paying in cash. In the end the owner allowed it, but I was told that next time I had to have cash. That was a little uncomfortable.
