Friendly staff, we chatted in eng about all kinds of things, made experience enjoyable. Nail (reg mani) well done with care, a beautiful blue. Tammy did a nice job on my nails. Another lady was so nice told me about her experience with local concerts, so fun. They were careful with my hang nail. The salon is very relaxing and quiet. read more

I JUST MOVED OUT HERE This nail shop is not it They are old school /no skills/no swag I went and asked for a manicure with acrylic and he pushed me to get nails which I didn't want My pedicure the girl did not know what she was doing using tiny utensils, half of my toe was polished . Just a bad experience I didn't go for a full set I walked out very unsatisfied spending 90$ when I just wanted what I wanted and they did what they wanted They've lost a customer for sure !!!! read more

I've been getting my nails done for 2 years here now! They put up with me there I'm a perfectionist and I always leave happy! I tip accordingly read more

Bummed I wanted to give this place a good review bc it's close to my house and I guess reasonable for pedi and gel mani $75? Plus a very generous tip only bc I felt bad you can tell the place is really struggling. I had gotten a pedicure and gel mani, the pedicure was nice until my Skin started burning. I thought it would stop but it never did and I ended up leaving with a chemical burn? I'm assuming from the callus remover? I've had callus remover plenty of times but this was something different felt like acid being poured directly onto my skin. When I told them it was burning and it hurt they just carried on and ignored I probably should of left at the point. As for my gel mani she electric filed my old gel off (instead of polish remover) which was at the tip of my finger nail bc my Nails were so grown out so I ended up with large grooves in my nail bed where she filed. I will not be back to say the least. read more

This about 1 week and a half into my gel set, and boy am I upset. First, I called around noon to make an appointment for 6. He said okay, then at 540 he calls and asks me if he can push my appointment to 630. It was not an inconvenience since that gave me time to take my kids home. I arrive at 615, 10 minutes pass by and he says, it's gonna be a little bit after 630. She didn't start me until 650. They're supposed to close at 7. So obviously I am the last client, but she is clearly rushing. She cut me with her drill 3 times, and she had it on way too high. That's how I could tell she was rushing. Experience is nothing I'm not used to... But the end result is my issue. Less than one week after I got my set, one nail started lifting, I went and got it fixed immediately, and of course she blamed it on me, she said I must've done something super rough. A day or two later, another one started lifting. Then just last night, one popped completely off. To say the least, I've been getting my nails done for soo long, and I'm rarely the picky type to sit there with a ruler and make sure my shape is perfect, but the fact that this the most I've paid for a set and the quality is this bad, I WILL NOT be returning. read more

Run as far as you can from this place!! Older woman did my nails and charged me $45 for a full set on the shortest set!!! They had no shape and she was rushing. I made her fix the shape and she cut me multiple times. I wanted to run out of there!! Don't waste your hard earned money in a place where they cannot be professionals!!! NEVER AGAIN read more

This nail place is one I would NOT recommend. I decided to do a self care day. I was going to get a haircut & a full set. After my hair cut, I walked in & said I want a full set. I asked for the price & she said $50. She said "No pedicure?" And I had said no since I work a lot & don't go out as much. I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted (which is a light pink glitter French tip.) She kept INSISTING for me to get gel & I kept saying NO! She kept saying "it'll last longer like a month". Then she said "it's going to be $60 now" since I wanted French tip. I have NEVER got gel in my life & my nails always last more than a month. Then, midway I decided why not I'll just get a pedicure because my coworker was having a birthday dinner & I could wear heels. She told me right away to go sit down on the chairs. A man was going to do my pedicure (which I would've prefer a woman). The lady immediately brought her stuff over to the chair so she can do my nails at the same time I'm getting my pedicure. I DONT like that because I feel like they're RUSHING. Then, the man also kept INSISTING me to get gel. He then handed me a pamphlet of the different prices of pedicures they do. One was $25, $40, $55 and I think $60 was the highest one. I just wanted a simple pedicure. So I did the $25. I made sure to keep looking at the lady doing my nails because I have a friend I've known since highschool that does my nails all the time & she does an amazing job. (if you want to take a look at her work, her instagram is @yoisecreations). The reason I couldn't go to her was because she had a family situation she needed to take of. He rushed my pedicure. He did NOT fully polish my whole toe nails. The color he used was a more darker pink when I wanted them to be the same color as my nails. So, after he was done we went back to the regular chairs so she can continue doing my full set. She DID NOT cut my cuticles. She had to keep dipping TWICE into the powder. She didn't put much EFFORT into filing my acrylics. The length of my acrylics was perfect since I can't have long nails at my job. My total overall was $85. Once I got home, I noticed my thumbs are uneven. The shape & the French tip line. Overall, I felt like they kept wanting to take my money and RUSHING. They weren't even busy. I would never come here again. The only reason I give a 2 star rating is because one of the ladies that was there, used to do my grandmas nails. She's known me since I was a little girl. She gave me a hug & asked how my family is doing & it felt heartwarming. DO NOT go to this place. All they want is to take your money and rush and NOT TAKE THEIR TIME! read more

I called to make an appointment the day before my birthday party. They scheduled me to come in at 6pm. However, someone called me and asked me to come in earlier since I had planned to do a full set. As I walked inside this place, staff immediately greeted me with a smile. The place is clean. Price is decent. I had asked them to do pedicure and mani with full set. I was pleased with the results! Will definitely come back again! read more

Don't waste your time coming here seriously. The worse pedicure I gotten they don't even use any products on your feet nor do they offer different price packages. My feet were left drier and yes worse.... also I got my nails done by a male there he literally didn't care and went on to do my nails as quick as possible, he filled my nail down so bad, I kept getting that burning sensation! And he also ruin my cuticles & left them bloody. Horrible job and experience, my nails were left thin and some thick and crooked like really!!!??! Oh and this picture is with a filter imagine without it! Bye read more

Ok I was almost not going to this place because of the reviews. I called askin if I can come in for a full set. The guy who answered said I can come in at 1. He called me at around 12:45 telling me I can come in. I said ok thanks. He called again and asked in a kinda rude way if I was coming in and I said 5min. Now I see what everyone was talking about in the reviews. I do feel like he could be nicer . BUT my nails came out sooooo nice the lady did a great job so I'm probably coming back. I've honestly never paid more than $50 for nails & these were $60 so I was kinda shocked but I think worth it since they're very nice . read more

It's hard to understand why this place has bad reviews because I've had a GREAT experience every time and the nail techs are super nice. Before coming here, I tried 2 other nail salons that had better reviews and I had terrible experiences at both. At this nail salon, the nail techs will take their time and will make sure you are happy with the results. The last time I went, I had a late work shift and arrived late to my appointment. They were still willing to help and stayed almost an hour past closing time to assist. read more

He set every nail perfect to my original nail and even gave me an extra bit of sparkle!! The only thing was my left pointer was a tad messed up but i know nails are hard work so i don't mind. -$38 for a full set of acrylics btw As for toes, they're a little harsh on the feet when scrubbing, i kinda winced in pain, but they're very meticulous with their work and my toes came out great(: toes-$18 Over all I'm definitely coming back and going to make this salon my permanent nail salon(: read more

Best Local Nail Salon Truly an amazing gem in I found in this little town of Lake Elsinore. If you want acrylics that genuinely look like your own nails, perfect gel nails or literally anything else, this place is absolutely worth the drive. Moved here from L.A. and I say with complete honesty, after 16 years of having my nails professionally worked on, I have truly never seen my nails look more well-crafted and unbelievably gorgeous as when I just had them done here by Steven. Also had an immaculate pedicure from Snow, and I can say with absolute certainty that the rest of the staff is just as talented and dedicated to excellence. Recently taken over by new management, and they are genuinely passionate about their trade. I rarely ever write reviews, but this place has my attention, and I feel like their quality of work deserves attention and praise. Hats off to Designer Nails-- Celebrity quality work in a small town. Lucky for us :-) read more

They have some great techs, but something is always wrong when I go there. I have made appointments both times I've been there and always waited at least 30 minutes. I'm currently sitting here and it is 6:30pm.... my appointment was at 4:30. When I first showed up they seemed surprised that there was an appointment, and had to ask people to leave to take care of me. I then sat there for about 30 minutes while my tech (who's name I'm not disclosing because I'm not trying to be mean) tried figuring out how to come back from this. $38 for a full set and to shape into an almond, not bad, I wasn't complaining. However, she then left me to do someone's eyebrows right after gluing the tips on, which took another 20 minutes. When she finally came back, I chose my color and she told me to pick a different color because they didn't have it. Fair enough. I picked a yellow color because I wanted to do something different for myself. She filed my nail shape probably five times, and at one point looked away for a long time and continued filing. You best believe I pulled my hand back like... girl what are you doing! By the time we got to the paint... she wasn't having it. She painted so sloppy and because of the color it needed extra coats. She looked at me and literally said (with a straight face), "don't pick this color next time okay." Ummm... okay. After the third coat you could still see brush strokes and she thought that was good and began putting a top coat on. I kindly asked for one more light coat and apologized, and you best believe I got attitude back. Once the top coat was on, she began filing and shaping AGAIN, which messed the shape up. I wanted to cry. I'm sitting in this pedicure chair and I have been here for TWO HOURS. And I only have nails on. My tech even said I need to go leave to eat can you wait while sitting in the spa chair. I wanted to scream. I never write negative posts like this but why not since they honestly thinks it's okay to waste people's time and money like this. I will not be treated this way where I spend my money, and also to waste my time for hours after making an appointment. Cmon guys get it together or you'll lose business. Thanks for the least relaxing nail day I've ever had read more

my favorite place to get my nails done! they really pay attention to detail and take good care of you.

I will never come here again! My daughter and I came in asking to for gel mani/pedi. Our appointment was at 2 and they didn't keep that appointment they pushed us to 3 super inconvenient we were on time and everything! They also cut my daughter on her little hands! They didn't even do gel on our toes when we asked for it several times!!! Worst nail salon EVER we will never return. I total waste of $100 dollars!!! read more

Made my appointment and got there on time just to hear that they were 20 mins behind. So I returned and came back and they eventually accommodated me as I was going out of town that evening so I needed my nails gelled and ready for my vacay. Not even a week since they were done they started chipping. So disappointed in the lack of quality and delayed service. read more

I'm looking for a nail salon so I decided to try Designer Nails in Lake Elsinore. I understand that sometimes you might run into challenges but on my very 1st visit?? No no no....My pedi was ok & my manicure was HORRIBLE!! The lady jacked up my nails. My mani looked like I let my 2yr old neice paint my nails. The lady felt bad so they did give me 10.00 off. The gel is cheap. The very next day the gel started peeling. By the end of the week ALL the gel was off my hands. My toes looked a little better but it still looked like a 2yr old painted my nails. Then on my pinky toe I had a big glob of gel on the end. I'll keep looking until I find a nail shop that satisfies my needs. read more

The people who work here are very nice. They do a great job. My pedicure turns out well and always looks good. Lasts 3 weeks. Only once did it last 2. That's why I still come back. It's usually good quality. They are friendly to me. The prices are a average. It isn't cheap but not too expensive. read more

Worst place ever. They rush on your nails and don't listen to what you want. Asked for square and they rounded the nails out.

Been here before Covid and it was an okay spot. Just came today and noticed one customer did not have a mask and didn't seem to make a deal about it. i ended up getting a basic pedicure which was $22 on the menu sheet. At the end she charged me $29 because "I got color" I picked just white, no design or anything. I honestly was grossed out of being in there I just paid her and left. I did do gel or any design. I think that's a lot for something so basic and she rushed. I would honestly prefer To pay more or that price for a nicer salon. read more

If I could rate this place zero I would. Worst nail experience of my life. Made an appointment at 5:15, lady started working on my nails and then randomly stopped without saying anything didn't start working on them till 6:30. Mind you I told her I wanted square narrow, she insisted I wanted coffin shape. I told her I didn't like them three times didn't really seem to care and got mad at me. I had to take my own nails off that's how they were. read more

First time at this shop, really came because of the good reviews, but not what I expected. Ladies are nice but the results are extremely poor. Had new set done, looks like a child did my nails. I've gotten my nails done for over 25 years and this is one of the worst places I've been to. They'll seat you to fill their seats but rush through the service to get the next person in. These 5star reviews are possibly for the previous owners. Nail technician shared that they are all new less than a year at this shop. So possibly all those great reviews are for previous nail techs and owner. Not recommending to come here. read more

Used to like this place a lot but service went down recently. I got short gel acrylics and gel French tip toes which came out to $71!! Ridiculous. The new tech working on my toes was very unprofessional, as she was cussing and talking about her family issues. The tech working on my hands seemed very rushed and didn't do the basic standards of applying acrylics. She did not check to see if my nails on each side to see if the matched in size and she did not tell me to wash off my nails with water to get the excess powder. I had to go in the next day to get them fixed because my hands already chipped and you could see the air bubbles from the powder. Very disappointing for the price and the service. Not going back again. read more
