Gorgeous gel nails. My favorite look by far! The shop owner Linda did my nails for the first time and they are my favorite so far! She introduced me to a new more modern look and I think I'll stick to this look. I love all the nails artists here. So friendly and they are careful in their work. I don't ever get cuts and I appreciate that. Thank you so much ladies!

Had a refill done. Nails came out cute. Staff were nice. However, a couple days later started to see a green streak under the acrylic nail. Turns out I got a bacterial fungus infection from the nail. I never get my nails done and the one time i do this happens.

Linda did my nails here and she is amazing! My nails turned out so beautiful. She took her time and was very detailed with the shape. I'm so happy I came here. I highly recommend this place. Everyone was friendly and professional

Beautiful nails and such kind, patient staff. I wanted very neutral and short acrylic nails for my wedding and they delivered exactly what I wanted! I love my nails.

I came at around 5:45 after calling and they willingly took us in. Linda was very sweet and was willing to stay past closing time to make sure I was satisfied with my nails. There was no burning during drilling and curing. She asked for my approval with every step.

This was my first set here, I really enjoy the people there I always bring my own polish because there polish collection isn't the greatest

I love my chrome pink nails. Done by Linda she's got a great heart and quality service.

Linda did my manicure, she did an amazing job with my over worked, beat up hands, I had a French tip done for the first time, Thanks again Linda

Book your services with Linda!! She is very kind and always does exactly what I ask for. Everybody here is very professional and nice and clean. I highly recommend!

Such a great nail artist . I went in with the most ugliest nails that were done at a salon in Pomona and Linda completely fixed my nails and made them look like a complete new set . I loved the atmosphere and the customer care . Definitely returning when I am in town from the Bay Area . Tysm Linda

First time here for a pedicure from Kim She was so friendly and took extra care of me on my special day. Most places cut my cuticle too much or make me bleed and Kim was so gentle with me. Linda took the time to get to know me & welcome me to the neighborhood They are located in shopping center next to sushi vip. Come check them out.

I've been coming to famous nails for the past 7 years and the ladies never fail. I always request Heidi for my pedicures especially since I'm prone to getting ingrown toenails and she knows exactly how to remove without hurting like most places I used to go to they would just cut and even make me bleed sometimes but not with Heidi. Every now and then I love getting a full set of nails and my go-to girl is Linda the owner she is wonderful with ombre and most difficult designs she's very meticulous when shaping and filing down your nails without hurting and I love the fact that she always remembers you and strikes up conversation so your time goes by really fast. This last time I was there I asked for a cute Barbie inspired design and and Heidi and Linda both made my nails look so cute definitely recommend anybody coming because they take their time and even though a lot of places might charge a little bit cheaper it's not worth it because other places I've tried in the past are too rushed and the nails start to chip after a week and a half with famous nails I usually don't have to come back for one or two months LOL. read more

My favorite are the glitter ombré gel nails that she does. Definitely recommend this place. It's located in the shopping center of the stater brothers next to the barber shop.

This nail salon has had my loyalty since february! I have absolutely loved each set i have gotten here. I never have to wait longer than 5-10 minutes on a busy day to be seated and taken care of, they are always so patiently with me while i decide on designs and colors, and have no problem changing anything if i change my mind on a color or design. All their shaping and designs are up to date and i always have such a relaxing experience here. Beautiful acrylics by linda and constantly amazing pedicures. I stand on my feet at least 10 hours a day , so when i tell you i look forward to the pedicures!! With great customer service as well. I've also had my eyebrows waxed here all the time and they always are painless and beautiful. It's such a relief to finally find a nail salon that is up to all the trends, and don't rush their clientele. It's such good quality work that i drive out here all the way from Riverside every two weeks. read more

Famous nails in Montclair... my new fave new spot. I received a gift certificate from there and was VERY reluctant to go because the last time I went over 15 years ago- it was filthy, the ladies were not very friendly, and the furniture was so outdated! I walked in and it was a completely different atmosphere. I was greeted with smiles, it was clean, and it had been remodeled. Linda and her nail technician were very sweet. This new ownership has made this my new nail spot! So glad I gave this place a 2nd chance! read more

I wish I can say I loved everything about my nails, but sadly that isn't the case. I'm very particular about my nails. And I decided to try this place out even with the 3 stars. I figured well i get dip powder...how badly can you really mess that up? Apparently it's possible. I posted a picture. Seeing those dents in my nails have honestly been bugging me for the past week since. Only left ring finger its bumpy as well. Is it really that hard to so dip powder. I've gotten dip powder before but the place I usually go to is in Brea and I disnt have time to head that way since i was set to leave for Vegas for my cousins wedding. I wanted to like this place given that besides the 3stars they have..the reviews received were good but those reviews are only for 1 tech Linda who btw didnt do my nails. I guess shes the only person in her salon that knows what shes doing. read more

I've been coming to this salon for a few months now they have never charged me extra for any services that I never agreed to. Before they perform anything they always ask! Also the credit card fee is everywhere now in days and Linda always encourages to bring cash for the same reason or drive to the bank. It's always clean and smells fresh. The reason why I like this place is because they don't charge to remove the gel or dip. Ontop of everything else gel and designs are always extra they do a great job with dip and gel. Linda and the rest of the staff are very patient friendly and professional read more

Literally never coming here again !!! She charged me almost 200$ for a basic set!!! Not even long like I like !! I could've went to 3D nails or blue diamond and got the same design for 60$ maybe 80$ at the most. I'm very disappointed. I was being hassled the whole time about how these nails are the longest, gel x isn't good and leaving a review since she was supposedly going to give me a discount. If I could I would leave 0 stars !! Tired of these nail places overcharging for nothing. read more

Ok, I am giving this nail salon two stars because Linda is very personable but the quality is not equal to the price. I paid $65 for a dip powder manicure that I had to go home and even/smooth out the shape myself. I've only recently moved and used to get my nails done in Orange County and never paid that much, yet was more than satisfied with the end result. When I came in I initially asked for a gel manicure, however, Linda was insistent that I get the did powder as it is stronger and lasts longer, which I agreed to. With that being said, she proceeded to do the dip powder but it was very sloppy. I think she needed a new bottle of primer or base in order for the powder to adhere properly because it wasn't smooth at all and there were spots where I could see that the powder hadn't stuck. She could tell that I wasn't pleased with the way it was turning out so she proceeded to put gel over the dip powder, which was fine because it helped to even out the color and texture but if she had listened to me from the beginning it wouldn't have been necessary. I feel like she charged me that price to make up for the extra time and product, which was her fault to begin with. Anyway, I would not recommend or return. read more

Was looking for a new place in the area to get my nails done. I was looking for professional and clean service. Famous nails definitely exceeded my expectations!! Linda is so sweet and thoughtful. She puts a lot of thought into her work and you can tell she is passionate about what she does. Everyone in the salon is very kind and great at what they do. It feels like a very positive environment. My pedicure and acrylic came out so perfect!! Linda really fixed the shape of my nails and my cuticles were nicely cleaned. Linda also provides eyebrow waxing which she is very good at! I got a nice relaxing spa day with everything I needed. 10/10 quality service! read more

I've been coming too Famous nails since I moved to Montclair about 4 years ago. Great owners always make you feel welcome. So I was a little hesitant when I saw a sign of new management. New owner is Linda, very friendly, great recommendations. Helen, who is still there, has always done my nails, pedicure, waxing and eyelash extensions. They made beautiful changes to the spa with new stations, pedicure massage chairs, a lot more color and gel choices. I have always been happy at Famous nails but this is definitely an upgrade. Highly recommend for all your needs. Booking full body massage soon! They also do coffin nails and ombré color. Which is what I choose May 11th 2018. Today I had my old set removed, new set done and pedicure. All the staff does an amazing job, I personally use Helen for everything. Very friendly and great suggestions.

ILOVETHISPLACE I've…read morebeen here twice already. First I need to shout out Van. She did my wedding nails (the first set with gold). She took her time and hand drew all of the golden details. She really took her time and checked in with me multiple times to make sure it was what I wanted. She was very sweet and her work is amazing. The nails were immaculate 3 weeks later when I came in for a fill. I didn't catch the name of my tech on my second visit, but wow she was fast. Multiple times through the service she paused to check in that I liked the length, shape, color, design etc. I appreciate that so much because we all know it can be hard to speak up when something isn't quite what we want. And omg she was fast. She removed my previous design, filled/shaped, and painted in just 40 mins. Such a excellent experience 10/10 The salon itself is clean and very cute. The pedicure chairs look new still. I recommend calling and making an appointment if you intend to try them out, they can get pretty booked.

I've been coming here for about 3 years, but after my last visit, I will never return…read more I came in to fix a broken nail and was told to wait for my original tech. I ended up waiting about an hour while staff kept going back and forth, clearly frustrated about who was going to deal with my nail. It was very uncomfortable and unprofessional. Eventually, a different technician took over, and the service was rough and painful. She was pulling my hand, filing aggressively on the sides, and it actually hurt. The nail was done carelessly and didn't even match the rest of my set. On top of that, the attitude was obvious. Between the tone, looks, and the way they were going back and forth in their language, it was clear I was being treated like an inconvenience instead of a paying customer. Don't assume customers don't notice just because you're speaking another language. After years of loyalty, this was extremely disappointing. I felt disrespected and unwelcome. They lost a long-time customer.

I came by after work today and all they're doing is arguing with me. They said it's been two weeks. It has not been two weeks. They don't know how to count. I pulled up my credit card statement to Show when the charge was and they just want to sit there and argue. They don't make any sense they don't understand anything you're saying and they want to throw it back on you that I should come back in 2-3 days this is just a bunch of bullshit !!

She also gave me a phone stand as she saw I was struggling to use my phone during the appointment. Absolutely wonderful nail tech and person in general. She's my new fav.

I've been coming here for over five years and I usually get Gel-X. The quality of the work is…read moreamazing, and the environment is beautiful, which is why I'm still a loyal client. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of pricing and organization. The salon is quite pricey, and I really think there needs to be a clearer system for breaking down costs before the service starts. There are multiple books of nail colors, some of which cost extra depending on the polish, but none of the books are labeled with pricing. You're also not told upfront if a specific polish costs more. Over time, I've had to learn on my own which book contains the basic gel polish with no additional fee. Designs are also extra, which is understandable, but communication has been an issue. One time around Christmas, I decided to get a very simple design on two fingers. I was told it would be $15 extra, and I confirmed that was for both fingers. When I went to pay, it turned out to be $15 per finger--$30 total for two simple swirls. That specific set came out to around $135, which was shocking. I was also not informed ahead of time that the polish I chose was considered a "special" polish with an additional charge. Again, the work itself is beautiful, but the lack of transparency with pricing can be frustrating and uncomfortable as a client. Another area that needs improvement is the appointment system. They really need someone dedicated to the receptionist desk to manage appointments and check-ins. I've had multiple occasions where I arrived on time for my appointment, was told "just a few minutes," and ended up waiting 30 minutes or more. Overall, this is a great salon with talented artists and a lovely atmosphere--but clearer pricing and better appointment management would make a huge difference

I really appreciated that they were careful and did not hurt any of us while pushing back or trimming our cuticles (so many salons rush this and it hurts!). My gel nails came out really nicely. No bubbles, overlap on my skin, or weird edges, and I could tell that they prepped my nail beds really well so the gel will definitely be staying on for a while. My friend got acrylics with cat-eye polish and they look FANTASTIC. I will note that the color books are labeled with the same numbers for different colors in different books, so be sure to show your nail tech the exact book/color to prevent mix ups! Overall, would def recommend this to a friend and will be back next time I want my nails done!

Just let all my customers know I usually don't write the response back to my customers on here, because I don't pay for yelp and I don't need to waste my time to go up here to argue with someone not normal and not a nice person at all. I had people not happy and yeld me bad too but not like a person down below. Read her the reviews that she wrote about me and talk bad about me because she lie a lot on there. Yes i did her nails at first she love the nails I usually ask my customers all the time do you like your nails through the service. She love it and happy till the end . When she finished and pay the fee to credit card I told her go get cash at stater for free but she got mad at me and 30 mins after she came back when I was working on my client she told me very rude in front of my customers fixed her nails right the way. Just want to let you know my nails wasn't like that. I been do nails for long time the ombré nails look very nice but 30mins after look different. I was upset with the way she acted very rude then she told me she working in banking bussiness. I know as the business owner or customers service no matter how nice you are sometimes you run into someone not nice like the one I had too bad. Look at her reviews she not a nice person at all. Not only me a victim a lot of bad yeld that she did. My English is second language but look at her toxic person not nice at all. She also reported me but I wrote the truth about her . I did not a lie person at all I know I'm not perfect but not a bad person like she wrote about me thank you read more

I had gone to idol nails and spa about 2 weeks ago and needed a fill but I decided to try famous nails since it was closer to home. I am so thankful that I came to get my fill here because Linda was so honest about the job idol nails had done. She really opened my eyes on what the coffin nail shape should be. I'm also so thankful that she fixed them up for me. She didn't have to take her time to do that but she did. Linda also suggested some colors and encouraged me to be extra on my nail color. I will definitely be going there to get my mani and pedi. I am also so mad at myself because I didn't give her a tip, I totally forgot to tell her to put it into the payment since I paid with my card and I didn't have cash. She really deserved it though! read more

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. Their creative skills are truly outstanding - my nails turned out even better than I had imagined! The attention to detail and artistic flair they put into their work is simply amazing. I highly recommend this salon and particularly Linda, to anyone looking for top-notch service and beautifully crafted nails. I'll definitely be returning! read more
