Excellent service and my nails have never looked better. Highly recommend Kera to be your trusted manicurist. She knows what she is doing and can make a real difference to having truly healthy nails.
13 years ago, my nails were in such bad shape, I couldn't find anyone who could help get them healthy again. I had Acrylic nails for years that caused my nails to become so thin they were cracking open all the way down to my cuticles along with washboard ridges. I found Swans of Aptos & Kirk said he would like to help me; unfortunately we did not take before or after pictures. Within a few months while my nails grew out using Fiberglass wraps; I couldn't be happier. Kirk from Swans of Aptos is the only person in the area that does Fiberglass wraps; I call this my surfboard nails. No chipping, very little nail filing & covers 3/4 of the nail that leaves the cuticles & nail bed from being filed. I clean houses & have my hands in gloves for up to 8 hours with no problems with the moisture damaging my nails. I am so grateful for finding a nail salon that does not damage my nails over time. I have NO nail polish chips, lifted or cracked wraps, fungus under wraps, & I can go up to 3 weeks without maintenance. My nails are stronger & always look like I just had a manicure. I can't thank you enough Kirk & to the Owner, Kera, who gives the best pedicure with a leg massage EVER!! Swans of Aptos is a wonderful place to be pampered; Kera & Kirk Swan are siblings keeping the business in the family. I love supporting local small businesses. I love you both.
Called on a Thursday and was able to get a next day appointment with Kirk. Arrived to my appointment and was greeted by name upon entry. It was nice to be acknowledged by name since it was my first time there. It is a small, quaint shop. Very clean and organized. Kirk was finishing up with his previous appointment so he directed me to pick a color. There were several to choose from. I chose a color and sat down for a minute while he prepared the water for my pedicure. The service was as expected. The massage, however was exceptional! I got the sugar scrub in addition to the lotion massage. The color I picked came out beautiful! I am very happy!
