    I was showing her this inspo. If she couldn't do it she could just told me
    Mai V.

    I had a really disappointing experience at this nail shop. I showed the tech exactly what I wanted and clearly told her I wanted to keep my natural nail length. Despite that, she kept filing my nails shorter and even used a sanding band directly on my real nails, which was uncomfortable and damaging. She also kept hitting the tips of my nails, causing them to chip--then filed them down even more to "fix" it, making them much shorter than I wanted. I also want to point out that I understand sanding bands are sometimes used so product can adhere properly. However, I came in with builder gel already on my natural nails and was charged $15 for removal. If I'm being charged for a full takeoff, then all the old product should be completely removed--but it wasn't. They kept saying they weren't done yet, but I do nails myself, so I know what proper removal looks like. At one point, she was already sizing fake nails to apply, and if I hadn't spoken up and insisted that all the old product be removed first, she probably would have applied the new set over leftover product, which is not okay. On top of that, one of my nails actually crickets during the process, even one of her coworkers told her about that nail but she just ignored it, and she didn't fix it or even try to remove and correct it properly, which made the result even worse. I could tell they were struggling with the design I originally asked for, so I tried to make it easier by choosing a simpler one. When I asked about the price, I was shocked--they said each red bow would be $5 extra. At that point, I was already frustrated and just told them to do a basic base color with chrome on top because I wanted to leave. On top of everything, the staff kept talking in Chinese about me, assuming I wouldn't understand, which made the whole experience even more uncomfortable. The owner also had a very unfriendly attitude. Overall, I felt rushed, disrespected, and unhappy with both the service and the result. I won't be coming back. Update on the Owner Reply: I went to a lot of salon to get my nail done and there's no problem with them keeping my real nail under the gel x set. And you guys doesn't even know how remove it correctly so that the client don't feel the heat on there's real nail. You should continue wrapping the client nail with foils until it completely remove all the gel, what the tech did was wrap my nail only one time and then she just keep using the file to file the product down and you should know better that you shouldn't do that (your guys skills is the problem that make our nails thin). My cuticles are hurting right now, still hurt from what your employer did. You guys always said "sorry we will improve our skills and how you treat customers." But in the end it never improve. I recommend you guys go to "Chic Nail and Spa in San Dimas". A very reasonable price with great skills. I usually come here but the tech that usually did my nail went on a vacation that why I have to go to this salon. This salon defending their staff while failing to recognize their own mistakes.

    I have tried several different nail salons over the years and recently went to Fabulous Nails in Upland horrible job horrible service needed to find a new location. Doki Doki surpassed my expectations! Beautiful nails, wonderful service the owner Stephanie knows what she's doing! You can see the 17 years of nail technician she had an expert level!

    Gel X full set with design

    I had a positive experience overall. The staff were very kind and attentive to detail. I enjoyed the pedicure because she was thorough with the sugar scrub and callas removal. A bit pricey, however, worth it for the result. Pedicure $45 Nail design $25 Gel x full set $80 (this is what it came out to when I did the math from my total, I would double check with them the price on this) I will return, check them out! :)

    I've been coming to Doki Doki nail salon for almost a year now and I always leave with nails I absolutely love. Big shoutout to Yan - she's very detail oriented and does beautiful work!

    Showed up a bit before 10am on Thursday, and was seated in a chair for my mani in less than 5 minutes. The ambience is clean and girly. Pink everywhere! Super cute! I showed Jojo (I believe that was her name) the inspo pic and got to work. Beautiful manicure, outcome was as expected. I was looking for something closer to home and for a place who could do some designs as my regular salon in La Verne doesn't do anything crazy. Entire process took roughly 2 hours. I'm definitely coming back. Dip removal: $10 Gel-X (short almond) with gel polish: $65 Design: $45 Gel Pedi: $45

    I have gotten my nails done here a couple times. They always give amazing service! So cute in the salon and such nice staff as well. I 100% recommend this place! My nails have never been higher than $120. For example my new set (the yellow and pink ones) were only $107. I got gel x, and builder gel since on one finger that's why it was $107. Can't wait to come back in a couple weeks

    Cute corner
    Silvia D.

    When the customer isn't happy and the owner reaches out- THAT'S great costumer service... and this is why I'll continue to come here. Left the last time unsatisfied with my pedicure and they fixed my color. Grateful for STEPHANIE. Got a beautiful manicure with a fixed pedicure and I couldn't be happier.

    See the pinks chairs? So adorable!
    Kimberly O.

    First time here! Very clean, very friendly, super cute place with pink chairs. State of the art massage and heated chairs. I will be back for sure.

    Accommodated me same day
    Brittany H.

    I went to zen nail lounge upland & got this set, I broke 2 of my nails so i showed up to wait for them to fix them but they let me know they can't take me they are too short staffed. I let the front desk know I can wait but they said we just can't, I drive 20 mins. for that salon mind you (they knew I commute Fontana to Upland for them only). So I called around and doki doki took me in right away same day, they knew exactly what color would be the most similar, they were friendly, fixed my nails fast even though they were busy, the shop was clean and I'm just going to be going to them from now on :) thank you!!

    I love this place and can't wait to come back! It was a very pleasant experience. Stephanie is super kind and patient. She did an amazing job with nail care prep and the gel manicure with nail art. I'm obsessed with how they look and have gotten many compliments!

    Set completed by Yan. It was fun and experimental.

    My inspo pic were on longer gel x almond nails. I made some minor changes such as using one color instead of an ombré effect. I loved that Yan was able to adapt it to my shorter nails with builder gel. My fave is the 3D beetle. Overall it was a fun experience. Would recommend.

    These are my $90 nails.

    I paid $135 for a very basic service: short French tip Gel-X nails and plain white gel toes. For that ridiculous price, I expected better service and professionalism. During my appointment, I was called boring to add a design after choosing a simple look, which made it seem like they were trying to upsell me rather than respect what I wanted. The nail tech doing my hands was also rude for no clear reason pulling my hands and sternly speaking with me, even though I was polite from the moment I walked in, if I was moving or doing something to upset her, it could've been said instead of just immediately becoming aggressive with me. It seemed like she was annoyed that I wanted my old Gel-X set removed instead of getting a fill, but my natural nails had already grown out significantly underneath. To make the experience worse, as I was leaving, she loudly asked, "Tip, tip -- cash or card?" after I had already paid $135. Overall, the pricing felt excessive, the customer service was uncomfortable, and I would not return.

    Cuticles not cleaned up
    Gina L.

    2nd time coming to this place since my 1st time was good. NOT this time , left unhappy. Nail tech was Chloe. Nails & cuticles not done properly... yesterday my cuticle on 2 fingers were bleeding...Im thinking because she took my cuticles off dry. No soaking before. Never has that done before, but I was trying to trust her process. today my fingers feel raw & they hurt.. thats when someone files too close. Definitely not going back. Spending $137 not worth it. Pedi was just fine, if I new that techs name I would say.

    When I got there i got there earlier than my appointment but they still took me in and they were so sweet!! Very good customer service.

I was looking for a salon that excels in every area--artistry, attention to detail, cleanliness, nail shaping, quality, and overall service. I wanted nail techs with incredible taste who could take an inspiration photo and create something even more beautiful in real life. That's exactly what I found here. Amanda is absolutely amazing, and I adore Janice as well. Honestly, everyone here is incredibly talented and so kind. Every visit has been such a wonderful experience. I brought in an inspiration photo for my Gel-X nails, and Amanda completely exceeded my expectations. My nails came out absolutely stunning, and every single time I leave the salon, I'm genuinely obsessed with the finished result. They pay so much attention to every little detail, and the quality is exceptional. What also sets this salon apart is the artistry. They create some truly intricate and beautiful nail designs, and it's clear that everyone here takes so much pride in their work. Their talent speaks for itself. On top of all of that, the entire staff is warm, welcoming, and makes every appointment enjoyable. I actually look forward to my visits. This salon deserves so much more recognition because, in my opinion, they truly set the standard.

I came in with gel-x on, so a removal was necessary. Instead of a clean removal, the tech, Metta Tran, did multiple (failed) acetone soaks interrupted by filing with a drill. When I asked if she could use a scraper, she said no because "the drill was easier." She then insisted on leaving a thin layer of acetone-treated gel on my nails even after I asked her not to. Throughout the appointment I had to repeatedly ask Metta to get prep and product fully onto my nail beds: I asked around seven times. She even argued with me when I pointed out missed spots, saying "it's just the base, it doesn't matter." The builder gel was applied unevenly and not properly floated - leaving my nails super thin, with no apex, and actively bending. When I said they shouldn't bend and the gel needed to be applied thicker, she told me they "just do them skinny here." She also made me bleed with the cuticle cutter and kept filing with the blood-spotted drill bit. She filed around my cuticles so much I had to tell her to stop. My pinky nail was still bending when I left, and she dismissed it as "fine." After the seventh time I asked Metta to make sure product was on my full nail, she said, "Wow, you REALLY care a lot about detail." I responded, "Yeah, don't you?" Her answer? A casual, matter-of-fact "No." Even though I was outwardly calm, I was completely stunned. I've never heard a service provider so openly and unashamedly admit that they don't care about the quality of what they're charging for. The finished result was lumpy, with flooded cuticles and gaps where product was missed. The nails started lifting the very next day. To the salon's credit, the manager on duty was kind enough to grant me a refund and removal. However, the removal was also done unsafely (she refused to avoid using a metal drill bit on my natural nails) and my nails got drilled down so thin that one started flaking away almost immediately. Hours later, my nail beds are still hurting and sensitive from it. There is also STILL gel left on my nails. If you value your natural nails, go somewhere else. I've spent so long growing out and strengthening my nails, and it all got ruined in one day.
