    Thank you for your response, Louis. I'd like to clarify a few things respectfully. You are correct that the charge was $75, not $80--thank you for the correction. However, $75 is still on the higher end for a basic acrylic French tip set, especially considering the quality I received and how unhappy I felt with the result. It's also worth noting that while the nail service itself took about 1 hour and 15 minutes, the total time I spent in the salon--including waiting and the pedicure--was much longer. I understand that timing may vary, but I was in the salon for about 3 hours overall. I did express polite approval during the appointment, but that was out of discomfort and social pressure--not true satisfaction. Many customers feel hesitant to speak up mid-service, especially when unsure how their concerns will be received. That doesn't make their dissatisfaction invalid. I hope this helps clarify my experience from a customer's perspective. I'm sharing my review so others can make informed choices, just as reviews are meant to do.

    I LOVE everyone here at Fabulous Nails! Jenny, Louis and their mom are always so nice and always do an amazing job! I tried out a couple of salons around El Monte, before landing on this gem and they've been my go to nail salon ever since, going on almost 2 years! It's always relaxing and I could literally nap while getting my nails and feet done! Thank you guys for always taking great care of me!

    Nancy took care of my spa pedicure and made sure everything was comfortable and exactly how I wanted (:

    I came in today and was immediately attended to which was amazing, walked in at 1:45 and was out the door by 3pm. I actually came during a sale special of 15% off which was a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure how long the special is but the customer service and quality was so good I'll go back whether they have a special or not. Nancy did my spa pedicure, without gel and Karen did my gel X set, (it cost me 85$ that's without tip) they both did amazing, love my nails. Thanks again ladies!

    I've been coming to Chi for a little over 2 years and I have no complaints. I've even had Louis do my nails and he does an amazing job as well. Nails are not cheap like they use to be. But every penny I have paid for my nails has been worth it. I get so many compliments on my nails all the time.

    My first and last time here. I am incredibly disappointed on the results of my pedicure. She cut my feet too excessively, came out worse than how I came in. I've never experienced this pain before when I get a pedicures. She's very sweet, I just wished she was more careful and light handed. Don't spend $42 on pedicure here! Save your money going elsewhere.

    This was my first time coming to this location and never again! A male did my nails I forgot his name but he didn't do a good job. He was very friendly which I appreciated but did a horrible job. Some of my nails looked like they were already growing out the first day I got them and the back of the nail wasn't fully filled. He even said "I'll fix it" but didn't. I really hope he was just having an off day or something because I can't imagine calling myself a nail tech but producing the low quality work. Overall would not recommend this place and not going back again!

    I usually don't like to leave bad reviews but I couldn't let it go the photo doesn't show everything, I had to pay 80 dollars for this, I don't recommend this place girls!

    Great service.

    Update** I ended up talking to the guy who did my nails who happens to be the owner and came to an agreement that it was a lack of communication and he asked me to come back free of charge so he can redo them. He was kind enough to come on his day off since Mondays are my only days off to redo my nails.

    The best pedicures around. They take their time and make you feel pampered. A little pricey , but worth it to me.

    Best nail salon I've been to. Chi is so precise with the shape and makes my nails always look like the reference picture.

    I visited this place for my first time. I'm sad to say i won't be visiting again. I did my pedicure and got an infection.
