Fantasy Nails

Feb 2021

I have been coming to Fantasy Nail and Hair for many years. The owner Tina, has always been very nice and professional to me and all her customers. Let's face it, she is very busy. I am very impressed by the type of work that she does on hair and nails. With Covid, her business has really been a challenge. When she reopened, the store was in full compliance and Tina takes covid very seriously. I have been supporting her business for years and really like the haircut that she gives me. Although I do not ask for anything fancy, she always gives me the type of hair cut that I asked for. Pre-Covid she has employees to help with things like Pedicures and Manicures and they did a fantastic job from what I saw. Her prices are very reasonable considering the services that are offered. A very clean shop also! I really like this place and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

When my wife [el Jefe] was a school Principal in Sacto, she had a lot of Hmong students in her school. When we moved here one of her student's parents recommended Tina to her. So Tina started cutting my wife's hair. El Jefe's been going back to her ever since, and Tina always does a good job with her hair (El Jefe is Swedish with thin, wispy blond hair. It's not so easy to work on). When we moved here I started using a local barber too, but he passed away. So I needed to find a new barber. El Jefe recommended Tina. I didn't really want to go to a beauty salon. But the boss is usually right. Tina's been cutting my hair for the past eight years now. And a haircut is only $8! My barber was charging $17, and just just before he expired he raised it to $20. (Karma ...? I report; you decide). I'm very happy with Tina's haircuts. She's as good as anyone I've used in the past, and better than most. And she's FAST. I like fast. I think most guys want to get their hair cut ASAP, then skedaddle. We have better things to do, like watching sports. Not that keeping your head groomed isn't important at times. Most times, even. On top of the $8 Tina charges I tip another $5. Even with a tip her haircuts are less expensive than at most barber shops. Great haircut. Inexpensive. What's not to like? Check out Tina. And don't worry about it being a beauty salon, since there are almost always other guys waiting for a haircut. They provide mutual support in enemy territory. PS: I suspect the few bad reviews here were written by competitors. For example, one reviewer said Tina's haircuts are getting worse. That makes no sense. Once someone is good at cutting hair, they almost always improve. But they never get worse! When I was in Viet Nam (some time after the Civil War), I was the barber for the guys in my outfit. A haircut in town was 25¢. But in the '60's a quarter was a lot of money, especially for guys who got paid $124/mo. That's because a quarter was real silver. Its buying power was ±10X more than it is now. Plenty of guys didn't want to pay that 25¢ if there was a free alternative. And there was. Me. They got a free haircut, worth every penny it cost them. And I learned how to recognize a good job. My haircuts didn't have to be perfect, and they weren't. Far from it. But I know what to look for in a man's haircut, and IMHO Tina does a great job. I can't see any difference between her haircuts and one you might pay $20 or more for. So have Tina mow yer noggin, guys. She'll do a great job -- and you'll have money left over for important things, like ammo, likker, and women. Or, you could even waste your money. And if you don't like the result, don't worry. It'll grow back. That's a promise from this old far... Uh, I mean... ground pounder. 10 - 4, kidz. Over & Out.

I have been going to this saloon for the past 12-13 years. Tina always takes care of me and never screwed up my hair cut. When you have free time, try to get dry back massage. All the staff are very friendly and you get to have nice conversations
