The Nail Palace is my very favorite nail bar in Santa Barbara for several reasons: Great friendly professional service, the really go the extra mile to make a pedicure a little piece of heaven. They are always eager to make your experience as nice as it possibly can be, offering water and tea. The Nail Palace is also a little off the beaten path so it is less noisy and over crowded as many nail bars are downtown. They offer excellent parking behind the store on Micheltorena Street. I rate them a ten out of ten for professionalism and artistic expression.
