Honestly, I think that they put something in their nail polish because I requested an olive green and it came out a light green. The nail polish was not sticking to my nail properly and it came out a bright green.

Fungus!!!!

I came here for a pedicure before my trip to Thailand, normally I see Kenny at professional nail but he was booked. A couple days after my pedicure I started to notice black spots on my big toe nails. It's been two months now and I still can't get rid of it on my own. I've tried all over the counter things and natural remedies. I have never had this before and am almost 40 years old. This shop does not disinfect their instruments. As a licensed cosmetologist I'm going to report this shop to the board to have them inspected. I've gone here once before and it was ok, but was not so lucky this second time. Be careful of your go here!

4 days after pedicure, inflamed toe.

Hey everyone. I'm so sad that I feel like I have to make this post. I went to American nail, and got a pedicure because it's the closest nail salon to my house. I was about to go on vacation, and wanted to treat myself to a cute pedicure. I asked for cateye polish, with white stars and gems. I had previously gone to get a pedicure 2 weeks prior, so I had no existing ingrown nails. However, the manicurist clipped and yanked out the side of my nail. When I got home I was happy with my pedicure, but my toe was feeling sore from the pull. As the days went on, my toe got more and more swollen and painful. Four days later, I called Tina to ask if there was any compensation I could have, maybe a possible half refund, being that I paid $65 for service. She asked me to come in to look at it. Once looked at, the pedicurist (the same one that yanked my nail) continued to clip more of the root of my nail off. While leaving, I was given a pat on the back, and $10 to get Epsom salt to soak. No refund at all, and honestly a little embarrassed to walk in and be handed only $10 out of the $65 I've spent on the pedicure (Epsom salt not included). It has now been 11 days. I went on vacation and came back, and my toe is bruised from the yank, and my skin is now peeling from the needing to soak it to release the puss from the infected nail. I hate leaving bad reviews because I don't like to cost the business their customers, but I feel like I have to for the safety and wellbeing of everyone. The shop isn't clean at all. While there, there were clipped toenails around the area that my toe was being treated. The utensil the lady clipped my toe with was pulled off a tray, used on me, and put back with other uncovered utensils to be used on someone else without proper cleaning in between. Please save your money, and don't let just anyone do your nails because the service is closer. Pick a cleaner salon that won't do this to you, and that'll have enough empathy to give you a refund if this is ever done (which it shouldn't ever be).

Kathy is amazing! I've been coming here for years and everyone is always so kind. I got cat eye with gems added. Showed her an inspo pic and these came out even better!

I am not from this area and needed my nails done. They squeezed me in and gave me a fill and pedicure. They were great and gentle and the vibe was relaxing even though I was writing work emails. I highly recommend this place. Mai did a fabulous job. My hands are pretty again.

Tina does a great job on my dip powder manicures. She's very sweet and takes her time on my nails. The interior of the shop is clean and presentable. I recommend calling to make an appointment, I always do that now and I barely have to wait! :)

It is my first time here and I loved it! Love how my nails turned out! Definitely will be coming back. Everyone was so nice and polite.

Tina and her team are incredible. They are friendly and they do great work. I have been going to American Nails for years, and I love it.

Gel pedicure

I am from San Diego, and trying to keep in mind that Grand Terrece is a small town area (not as high maintenance). And, not to mention I used to be a nail technician myself, so I'm very picky. But, this place was very unorganized, I had three different people work on my toes, and had to tell them to fix quite a few things on my pedicure. I also had to take the file myself to file my nails perfectly square. Not to mention, file my toes evenly when I got home. I had white gel polish and the paint job was crooked, and not to my satisfaction. It's reasonably priced, the leg mask and hot rocks were good, but I just don't feel they take pride in their work. Not the absolute worst place, but definitely not the best. Unfortunately, I will not go back there. Photos are of after I fixed them.

The absolute worst experience ever in a business!!! Never open. Never get ingrown nails on feet but charge for it. Charge double for certain services than others and refused me because I brought my special needs children. Also tried charging me for service they didn't perform. I wanted to charge mani pedi but they asked for charge before mani was done after pedi so I had double fee for credit card. They are scammers. I found on my bank statement they tried charging three times and I tip a lot every two weeks. They are located literally round the corner from me, but grand terrace nail salons here are lazy rude and have you waiting without acknowledging you ...I have to drive to Ontario or riverside to get decent service.

I love giving my nail tech free rein to do what she wants to... I've been coming here for 15+ years and I'll keep coming back..
Niki R.

When you trust your nail tech completely and this is what she gives you... I love how they came out... I've been coming here for over 15 years and I'll keep coming back until I can't anymore...

My nail tech did a GREAT job! No complaints whatsoever on his handwork. #HeUnderstoodTheAssignment…read more. He was efficient and has a great eye for symmetry! (Nail tech: Thuong) BUT -1 star because the work stations (at least to get full sets) looked pretty dirty and the towel he placed my hands on was stained so it was hard to judge whether it was clean or not. (Seems like they do a pretty superficial "wipe down" between clients)

I came to the salon at 9:30 this morning and the salon was busy with lots of people waiting. I…read morespoke with the woman at the counter about getting a fill, gel polish change and eyebrows waxed. I decided to make an appointment to come back at a more convenient time for them. They booked me an appointment for 12:30. She took my name and wrote it in the book with my phone number. I returned at 12:30 and signed in and told them that I had an appointment. One woman told me that when the woman who was doing another client's eyebrows was finished that she would help me. They took 3 more walk ins. So, I again inquired about my appointment and the amount of time that it would take to help me. It is now 12:50 and no clear answer of how much longer I would have to wait. It was very Frustration that I wasted my morning trying to find things to do in the area to make it more convenient for everyone and come at a later assigned time and still didn't get my nails done. In the past, I enjoyed my visits here but will not be returning based off such disregard for my time. Very unfortunate, that the people that all spoke briefly to me, did not make things right or take the time to listen when I let them know that I had a scheduled appointment.

Love this place the people are so nice and my nails last longer and still look good number 3 table…read morevery good. Never goes wrong. I give 5 stars because they are so good and taking care of my nails very well

My three daughters went there yesterday for a pedicure and all had bad experiences. My youngest…read moredaughter had a cut under her foot that the tech doing the pedicure should have seen but ignored it and really hurt her with the pumice stone or thing they use, no attention to detail or care at all. The middle daughter got a tech who didn't speak a single word of English and the nails were not done the way my daughter wanted, she ended up having to change her design choice due to the lack of understanding and the constant having to get what she needed translated to which all the women would talk in their foreign language then laugh and "translate" back to my daughter making her very uncomfortable and leaving her feeling humiliated due to the talking and laughing in their language. In addition to that when the lady lifted the small side table for my daughter to get out she sent my daughters phone flying to the floor (thank goodness for the screen protector and cover). Just so careless and lack of attention. My third daughter woke up today with two bare toenails, no nail polish on them at all although she paid extra for the gel manicure. I would not recommend this place nor would pay again to have services done here.
