Nails by the Sea

What a soothing delight this charming salon is! The 3 ladies - Wendy, Tina and Whey have taken excellent care of me every time I have visited. The spa-like atmosphere with gentle music playing seems to enhance the beauty and relaxation one experiences in Carmel. The 3 ladies working at Nails By The Sea are well trained in their craft and do stellar manicures, pedicures and other services. This is a rare gem in Carmel and you will feel pampered and welcomed the moment you walk in... I wholeheartedly recommend Nails By The Sea.

Wendy and Tina are so nice. They make you feel right at home. We got the foot reflexology with pedicure and massage. I'd have to say the massage was much better than the pedi in comparison to other places that I have gone to. But still well worth it. We booked at the last minute and they were still able to accommodate us. Also, for all you urbanites, be aware it is cash only! We went on a Saturday around 10:30 in the morning and they quickly started to book up so we'd recommend calling ahead and making an appointment. I felt the pedicure could've had a bit more focus...but, it's not like it was terrible. If you are looking for more in the pedi arena than foot reflexology then make sure you make your request known (I wanted my nails cut shorter but didn't ask).

Called in hopes of a last-minute afternoon pedicure and they were completely accommodating. When I arrived, all the staff were busy with other customers but they somehow found a way to get my feet soaking! 45 minutes later, after the most heavenly foot massage ever, I asked if I could squeeze in a manicure and they were accommodating yet again.

The atmosphere felt so friendly and happy--everyone who stopped in knew the staff and was excited to catch up.

I just can't wait to go back for another foot massage!
