    I've been going here now for the last 8 years. Typically I see either Oanh or Kelly for my pedi and Van or Kelly for my mani/acrylics. I am very picky and these ladies are super nice and accommodating. I'm not super adventurous when it comes to my nails, but they are not pushy about adding designs. The prices are decent for gel manis/pedis. I pay about $60-70 for both (depends if I'm getting acrylics or not). Once in a while, I will ask for designs on my acrylics. Van always has an enthusiastic "yes, I can try" when I send her photos of designs I'm interested in. The ladies here are the reason I've been back for the last 8 years. They also have a big variety of colors/finishes to choose from. The decor is what you would expect for a nail salon, but I like that the ladies I see are clean and do not rush. Just call ahead, and your wait isn't that long. I usually call at least 2 days before, and I hardly have a hard time getting in.

    Pre-Christmas pedicure. Note new prices for services.

    My family and I still enjoy the services, although they can vary depending on which spa technician you get. I try to always have Wei do my pedicures. She's been my "go to" for about 4 years now and I know what to expect. Occasionally, when I have someone else help me, it can be hit or miss. My wife also comes here on occasion and is usually satisfied, but sometimes has complaints about being cut. Lately, I've also noticed that the spa chairs are not in the best mechanical condition.

    Beautiful and affordable pedicure.

    I was in the area visiting and helping my mom makes tamales for Christmas and stopped in on my way home to Orange County, to buy a gift certificate for my aunt who lives close by and comes here regularly. I needed a manicure and pedicure and while waiting on the gift certificate decided to kill two birds with one stone and get my nails done vs. waiting to go near home the next day. The prices are reasonable and the ladies were quick and efficient while doing a great job. I appreciated the fact that although asked if I wanted to add Calus remover and a design on my toes, which I did, they were not pushy at all which most places are. I will be back when in the area and highly recommend this nail salon.

    I was excited to come back once COVID restrictions were lifted, but I also was very hesitant to let anyone do my nails other than Tham. Indeed, I was very disappointed when I came here to get a fill with gel. I waited some time to get serviced since the staff is much smaller than it used to be. Once someone was available, I sat on the chair and dipped my feet into scorching hot water while my nail tech was MIA. When she finally came back, she started stripping my nails of its color and rushed to cut my nails to file it down and give a new shape. Then she went MIA again to wax someone's eyebrows as I waited patiently on the chair. I would say 35 minutes into the nail session, when she comes back, I finally get a lady to do my toes. I had no issues with her and the results of my pedicure. I did have an issue with how my nails turned out because the results on my left hand (see photo provided) were very bumpy and blotchy compared to my right hand which was reasonably smoother and polished in appearance. She was definitely rushing, which is why the nail polish isn't nicely placed on the nail bedding since it appears smeared on the edges of my nails. For my total being $43 for a fill with gel and a regular pedicure, I don't recommend the gel fill here. Pedicure was nicely done for $16! I MISS THAM. Please come back soon.

    The individuals working here are really nice, & I get they need to make a living. However, there's no excuse for one of the workers accidentally making their customer bleed. I know it was not intentional though. The woman working on my hands was very apologetic & cleaned up the wound as best as she could. My main concern is that the cut may get infected, & I wouldn't want this happening to anyone else either.

    I really do like the availability and closeness of this salon since it's very close to home. Never had any issues before, got a gel manicure last Friday and the Polish is already falling off a little disappointed..

    They'll say yes they will take you in but tend to make you wait for so long! Not even worth going to especially if you're a dude

    My favorite nail studio ever I've been coming here since they first opened on Amar Rd, and I…read morehonestly can't imagine going anywhere else. I've had appointments with just about every nail tech here, and every single one has been incredibly talented, hardworking, and attentive. They always listen to what I want while also offering helpful suggestions when I'm unsure. What really keeps me coming back is the retention on my Gel-X nails. No other salon has come close. My sets regularly last 5+ weeks, and the longest I've pushed them was 6 weeks because I couldn't get an appointment sooner. Not a single nail popped off! That alone speaks volumes about the quality of their work. The team is always so sweet and welcoming, and the salon itself is cute, clean, and comfortable. I also love whatever they have playing on the TV,it definitely helps pass the time when I'm getting more detailed nail art done . They're booked out for a reason! I almost want to gatekeep this place because it's that good, but they truly deserve all the love and support. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality nails that actually last.

    I am only sharing my experience in hopes they treat returning customers better in the future. I…read morehave been an always on time customer for a year now and was disappointed in the way the owner performed service today. I had stuff to take care of out of town and had bad luck with traffic due to coming from LA. I communicated to the staff by text message about my ETA to assure I can still be seen. Was told they charge $5 fee for being late but then they said $15 then $10. So I asked if I could just reschedule to not burden their schedule. (My appointment was at 5pm which is the latest with no one after me). I was informed I had to do it 48 hours in advance and would lose my $30 deposit and would need to put another one to reschedule. Which I can understand if I was a person who was late before in the past, but this was my first time ever. I expressed my disappointment to them, and was told I would get a one time exception to pay a $5 late fee if I wanted to still come today. So I went because I would be mad if they made me pay another deposit. The girl I scheduled couldn't do my hands , she had to pick her kid up. I understood, owner ends up doing my nails, She wanted to remove the prior nail bed down completely, when I only needed the surface removed to remove the color. I declined and asked nicely if she can just sand off the color. She did but then never applied new gel to my out grown nail bed. She misunderstood what I was asking for and only painted a coat over it and then went straight to the color. I asked to clarify before adding the color, and she said it wouldn't be needed because of saying I like my nails thin ‍ again me trying to be understanding and not making her fix it I just said ok, but asked if the price was gonna be different since I wasn't getting applied new retention and she straight said "no its the same price " which just made me more disappointed. Not only am I getting a late fee but also a half done manicure. I don't think I'll be returning again. I would hope they would treat returning, on time customers with grace. It was horrible and awkward to want to go back and it's such a shame because I truly appreciated their work. **In response to the owner: No, I was not 40 mins late. I was 30 mins late and you charged me $55 for a half done manicure that chipped in 1 day. I've updated my review from 2 stars to 1 after seeing you lie in your reply. Shame on you**

    We started going to Cherry Blossom because it was nearby but it has become our go-to nail salon…read morebecause of the wonderful owners, the nail technicians & the clean, comfortable vibe we have come to love! A five star business with five star service! Try to book in advance because this place is in demand.

    First thing.. if you can avoid this place, do it. There are plenty of places in West Covina/Covina…read moreyou can go to. I recently moved to Covina and this is the first Nail place I have gone to.. I was hoping for a pleasant experience in the hopes to make this one my go to place. I called on Saturday morning to see if they had availability and a gentleman answered the phone and said "yes if I can get there asap, they can do manicure and pedicure". I get there in like 15 mins, not 5 because I still had to get ready, that's on me. When I get there he tells me he now has availability for a manicure only, which I'm totally okay with. I took longer than I had said. I was just glad they took me in. Probably 20 mins in with my manicure he came and said they now have availability for a pedicure, which I was happy for, saving me the trip to go somewhere else after... Kathy did a great job with my manicure. As soon as another lady started with my pedicure I told her I had an ingrown nail in my right toe and I would appreciate it if she could get it out. I could see her trying to get it out and I see she pulls a piece of skin and I am thinking she will stop and cut it as soon as she takes it out, instead she keeps pulling my skin to the point where she peels off the front of my skin. A think layer by the way (as you can see in the picture). The gentleman that answers the phone walks around and he did noticed the lady had hurt my toe and didn't said anything. Looks like he is the supervisor or something, I thought he would say something when I was paying, but he didn't. I didn't want to argue because I already knew I wasn't going to come back. I should have taken the advice from one of the bad reviews they have here. Too late to regret it now. It's unfortunate that I paid $98 and walked out with my skin peeled off. I wanted to share my experience in the hopes that this won't happen to someone else. Save yourself time, money, and a bad experience. Go somewhere else. Not worth it. They don't even deserve the one star I have to give to post this.
