Downey Nails And Lashes - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

I've been a customer of Downey Nails and Lashes for nearly two years, and the nail technicians have been phenomenal. Their work is consistently excellent, which is why I've often recommended them to friends and family. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the salon's management and front desk staff. Their scheduling and customer service are extremely disorganized, and they seem to have little regard for the customer experience. The salon routinely overbooks technicians and assigns walk-in clients to technicians who already have upcoming appointments. Despite making appointments every time I've visited, I've regularly been forced to wait 15-30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time, even though I make a point of arriving early as a courtesy. My most recent experience was the final straw. I scheduled both a lash lift and an acrylic fill. When I called, the receptionist told me my lash appointment would be at 5:00 PM and my nail appointment at 6:00 PM. However, the text confirmation I received only listed a 6:00 PM appointment. On previous visits, I had been told by the front desk that appointments are not considered booked without a text confirmation, so I reasonably assumed the salon had adjusted my schedule and moved the lash appointment. When I arrived at 6:00 PM, the receptionist informed me that the text confirmation was incorrect, my lash appointment had actually been at 5:00 PM, and I had missed it. No apology was offered, nor did anyone attempt to rebook the service. I then asked if I could still proceed with my 6:00 PM nail appointment, only to be told that my nail technician would not be available for another hour. The receptionist blamed the delay on my technician's timing, which was both inappropriate and inaccurate. I've worked with the same technician for two years, and she has always been professional, efficient, and respectful of her appointment schedule. It was clear that the salon had double-booked over my appointment. Their only solution was for me to return at 7:00 PM, which was not possible given my schedule. This experience was incredibly frustrating because I genuinely love the work of the nail technicians. However, I can no longer tolerate the level of disorganization, poor communication, and lack of accountability from management. As a result, I will not be returning, and I can no longer recommend this salon to others. The business needs to get control of its scheduling and customer volume before more loyal customers have similar experiences. read more

Literally the worst service possible. Aside from the girls being super bratty and stuck up in the front, Liz is the worst person to be doing nails. Shes super aggressive with your fingers and hands. She hurt me multiple times and was being unapologetic about it and just kept doing it. Towards the end I just wanted to get out of there. Here is what my nails looked like literally on the car right after. read more

I've been to this nail salon a couple of times and I have to say they are literally what you see in those 2000s girly movies with the drinks, mani and pedi. Liz did my nails with gel x and design and she did exactly what I asked for and was super professional. Made me feel so comfortable. Also a huge plus is that margaritas are chefs kiss and FREE! read more

I didn't want to have to leave a negative review, but after giving this salon three chances, I feel it's necessary to share my experience. The first time I came in for a pedicure, I had a male technician whose name I unfortunately do not remember. He applied gel polish, but when I got home, I noticed that the gel had seeped onto the skin around one of my big toes. I returned to the salon to have it corrected, and during that visit, I was informed that both big toes needed to be corrected. I was not aware that the other toe also needed attention at the time. I let it go because I understand mistakes happen, and I didn't think it was worth making a big issue over. The second time, my pedicure was done by Nina. During the service, she accidentally nicked my toe, causing it to bleed a little. Again, I chose to overlook it because I assumed it was an honest mistake. Unfortunately, my third visit with Nina was unacceptable. During my pedicure, she pulled out a hangnail, which caused my toe to bleed significantly. At the time, I didn't know any better and assumed this was a normal part of the pedicure process. After doing some research, I learned that pulling out a hangnail can create an open wound and increase the risk of infection. Looking back, this should never have happened. The following morning, I woke up with a painful, infected toe that was swollen and draining both pus and blood. A routine pedicure should never result in an infection. I returned to the salon to report what had happened. I admit I became emotional while speaking to the receptionist, but it was out of frustration and disappointment after repeatedly having negative experiences. I want to make it clear that my frustration was not directed at her. She was helpful and handled the situation professionally. I did feel embarrassed having to discuss everything in front of other employees and customers. After three visits, I can confidently say I will not be returning. I gave this salon multiple opportunities, hoping each experience would be better than the last, but instead, the quality of service continued to decline. Overall, it has been extremely disappointing to pay for a service and not receive the level of care, attention, and professionalism that I expected as a customer. No customer should have to return because of poorly applied gel polish, leave with cuts that cause bleeding, or, even worse, develop an infection after a routine pedicure. I'm sharing my experience not to be malicious, but in the hope that the salon takes greater care during its services and follows proper procedures to prevent this from happening to someone else. A pedicure is supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Instead, I left with pain, frustration, and an avoidable infection. Unfortunately, this experience has left me with no confidence in returning to this salon. read more

I love coming here. I absolutely hated getting my nails done because they were never careful at other locations. But here my favorite tech is Sam she is honestly the best. She's so attentive and the service is perfect. Definitely recommend read more

I appreciate that the salon reached out after my initial review, but unfortunately their response did not address all issues I experienced. They questioned details I had already explained, including which technician worked on me. After providing all of that, the only resolution offered was to repaint the toe where the polish was visibly missing. That offer doesn't fix the larger concerns I raised: I paid for a $50 pedicure that was a full upgraded service. Instead, I received a basic pedicure with poor gel application, missing steps. Being asked to come back just for a polish touch-up would inconvenience me even more after an already incomplete experience. I stand by my original review. I did not receive the service I paid for, and the proposed resolution did not address the quality or customer care concerns I reported. read more

I went in for something very simple. Just a gel pedicure and clear gel manicure. I have never been so disappointed by a service before. I have one injured nail, it's on my pinky. A new nail is growing underneath. I told who was doing my manicure to leave it alone and she proceeded to cut the old nail off. This caused me so much pain. I repeated for her to just leave it alone as it is still healing and I don't want to risk infection and she continued to chip away at it. This caused me so much discomfort for the next few days. Causing it to bleed at work. The clear gel manicure over all looked horrible. Nails were cut and filed differently and she only did what seemed like one coat and the top coat. She then just DOUSED my hands in oil. And left them like that? I am so confused. The pedicure was OK however I just wasnt feeling the most relaxed. They keep chipping away at an insane amount of skin around the nail. Then she said I cut my own nails too short, but they look okay to me. And I still have enough nails even on my pinky for the gel to show. I don't understand the commentary. I reached out, followed the instructions to send pics through text and haven't hear back since. When someone comes in saying to leave a finger alone, I think it's important to listen. This should have been very easy and simple. Just something to make me feel put together as my nail is still healing. I couldn't even relax in my chair. All of this for 75 dollars. Not worth it, especially when given the opportunity to correct this or talk outside of a review. Lack of accountability. After an experience like this, now I know to expect way less from this business. Goes to show a lot about how your business is ran. Money hungry and quality is low. read more

Honestly don't even waste your time or money coming here. The nail salon is so dirty, and the employees are not friendly ! As soon as I walked in I got a mug face from one of the girls working as I'm saying hi, and she looked at me with an ugly face and didn't say anything. Not to the mention the nail quality I left with is so disappointing especially since we all expect to love our nails when we get them done. My personal experience was with Kevin, and I don't recommend. Messy, rushed, and sloppy work. I went in for a fill that I should've just kept as that because they looked way better than what I left with. Rushed me to pick a color without even showing me the colors, uneven bad shaping on my nails that were literally shaped nicely already prior to him doing whatever he did, no cuticle work, got acrylic all over my hands, didn't tell me to wash my hands at all, overpriced ( $75 ) and overall just messy. Such a disappointment. Why have "nails artists" as your employee if they aren't competent enough to do a decent job? Do not go here ! read more

Great customer service highly recommend great services provided many to offer one stop shop

I came here for a gel x set and while the nails themselves came out really nice -- the design is clean and exactly what I asked for -- I can't help but feel the price was steep. $105 for medium gel x felt overpriced compared to other places I've been. Service was quick, which I appreciated, but the overall experience could have been better. At another salon I visited in Houston, the receptionist greeted every guest warmly and made sure to offer drinks, which added a thoughtful and welcoming touch. Here, I didn't notice that same level of attentiveness or hospitality, and it made a difference in how the visit felt. If you're looking for fast service and quality design, this place delivers. But if you value the extra touches and a more inviting atmosphere for the price point, there are definitely salons out there that do it better. By the way they don't give you an estimate of price. So make sure to ask before. And for kids if you wouldn't want gel on them make sure to ask for regular polish. read more

I came in as a walk in with my daughter at noon. The receptionist was welcoming & took us right away. Establishment was clean and bright with classic colors. The floral corner has a queen back chair and swing, for picture taking. We both wanted a mani/pedi which took about an hour. Average cost for Gel mani and regular pedi was about $60...they were very nice and efficient. Excellent quality service. I enjoyed the pampering. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with our experience. My daughter and I went in together, and when we met back at the front desk, I immediately noticed her nails were crooked and bulky. The shape was uneven and clearly not symmetrical. I calmly brought it to the receptionist's attention, who then called over the manager. I explained the issue and showed him exactly where the nails were crooked and thick. By this point, I was becoming uncomfortable because people in the salon were staring, and what should have been a simple correction turned into an embarrassing situation. The manager said the nail tech could fix them, but his tone was dismissive and unpleasant, which made my daughter feel embarrassed. When the nail technician came up, she questioned the issue again and began making excuses -- saying it was due to three layers of polish and that she didn't see them as crooked. Instead of acknowledging the problem, they were focused on defending the work. At that point, I told them not to fix it because if they genuinely couldn't see the issue, I didn't trust the correction would be done properly. What upset me even more was that no discount, partial refund, or apology was offered despite the obvious poor quality and the uncomfortable experience we were put through. We paid full price and left feeling frustrated, embarrassed, and unheard. I will not be returning. read more

This was my first time at this salon. I usually go to Milano's in Long Beach; however, due to time crunch I needed to go somewhere closer to my current location. The nail salon was clean and decorated very well. They had all the same services offered at my salon but more reasonably priced. They worked fast yet neatly. I received an acrylic manicure and regular pedicure for $90. I was really pleased. What makes them different is that they serve a variety of beverages such as coffee, tea, alcohol, and juice for no additional charge. read more

This place is TERRIBLE and unprofessional. The nail techs are incompetent! They say they can follow a photo and in fact they can't! Their "ombre" looks like a line and the see through, such a simple concept and they failed!. In addition, the nail shows bumps and is not smooth, very chunky and thick!. When attempted to get the mistake corrected, the owner was rude and unwilling to fix the problem. DO NOT COME HERE! It will be a waste of your time and most importantly a waste of your money. Will be reporting them to BBB! read more

This is my 3rd time updating my review. First review, the male nail tech filled my nails with the wrong red and tried to gaslight me into thinking it was the same color. I wanted Xmas nails & left with black ombré because of the mistake. The owner called me the next day (because of my bad yelp review) and had me come in and fix them. From then on, i ONLY went to Eric, the tech who fixed my nails. Until he went on vacation & never came back. I was weary of a new tech, but Quinn assured me everyone was good and the first time was just bad communication. I went back, my nails were done ok, but this last experience was terrible. I get red acrylic XL stilettos. New set every time (ever since the mishap with fill colors) and the male tech argued with me. 1st that they didn't carry red acrylic (like what???) then that they didn't have clear stiletto tips. Proceeded to "advise" me that stilettos weren't something HE prefers and if i wanted something else. Not that he couldn't do them, but that HE didn't like them personally... weird... i also got a pedicure at the same time. My nails were finished 3 hours later, paid $180 and left. I receive multiple phone calls about 1-2 hours later as I'm picking my kids up from school. I answer and it's reception telling me they didn't charge me for my pedicure & i need to pay (additional $60). I had a concert that night & told them they'd have to wait til I'm done getting ready and I'd be there in a few hours. They (reception and nail tech) proceed to call my phone OVER 10+ times every hour. I show up 4 hours later, and as I'm paying the bill (and I'm pissed off over the harassment) the nail tech is STILL CALLING, as i am trying to Apple Pay. all were from different (714) phone numbers. I told reception never to call my phone again, left. They proceeded to call me for an hour (after i paid). Completely unprofessional & unorganized. It seems none of the employees care unless the owner Quinn personally tells them something. read more

I originally left a positive review but decided to delete it after this incident. I had a gel pedicure here (unfortunately I don't remember the technician's name). During the cuticle cleaning, she left a deep cut on my big toe that left alot of bleeding. At first, I assumed it would stop on its own, which it did for a while. later at work I noticed the toe was still bleeding, swollen, numb, and beginning to ooze clear pus. Since I work in the emergency department, I had access to supplies to properly clean the wound and apply antibiotic ointment. Manicures are fine here given that I've only been here twice, but I will Not be returning for pedicures due to this experience. read more
