I am a 40 something woman who stopped wearing acrylic nails or any nails for that matter a long time ago. I garden and paint and that can wreck havoc with fancy nails. I was going to the 99 cent store for clear storage boxes and decided that today was the day I was going to reclaim my girlie and get some nails put on. I went in and the salon was comfortable and friendly. I was greeted and seated immediately and had a lovely 40 something technician named "Hy (?)sp)" wait on me. She was awesome for putting a new set on.. And FAST. She shaped my nails beautifully and I am a very picky person. not too fat or thick they made my hands look young and sexy. She applied a gel polish and it all went smoothly. I am not a big talker and this was perfect.. I will be keeping them on for a while. I like service that I can go in and not have to micro manage or oversee my technician. Hy was just that person. She does nails on auto pilot. thank you Hy. read more

After going there for over two years, I arrive today 8/30/2016 for my usual appointment. The place is not open so I wait figuring I am a bit early. The guy who usually does my mani/pedi walks up to the door of the store, looks in stands there for a few minutes then goes back to his car and leaves. I figure he is going to find a key. I wait until9:10 and no one arrives. I walk up to the door and there is a note on it saying they will be closed until 8/31 for renovations. I am like seriously? You did not know about this 2 weeks ago? They have my phone number and no one calls me? I decided to go somewhere else. I fund a great nail salon, they did a beautiful job and I will NOT be returning to Fancy Nails. Thats NOT how you treat customers who have been patronizing you for 2 years. read more

Horrible experience I sat there for about an hour and a half getting a BASIC pedicure and tell me why this lady TERESA was taking her sweet time doing who knows what to my toes I was sitting there so long my back was killing me .. after she finally finished she couldn't help me put my sandals back on so I decided to get up and leave of course I paid what the boy at the front desk charged me "22" dollars but gave me back my change and he took an additional dollar! Why ? I don't know but be careful with the guy at the front charging apparently he doesn't know how to give back your change. Horrible experience NEVER GOING BACK . I do not recommend this place unless you like crappy toes . read more

I came here for the first time and get impressed by the environment of the salon. The staffs were very friendly, the service was great. The best part is the Deluxe pedicure that comes with Sea Salt Scrubs, Mask, Calluse Removal, and free paraffin and Hot stone massage for only $30. Higher than other places but it was worth the money. I love the way they clean the excessive polish after painting my nails. Looks great. Just neat and clean. I strongly recommend and definitely come back. read more

Visiting from Rancho Cucamonga. I googled best lashes in palm dessert and Fancy Nails came up. Didn't know what to expect. But as it said in the yelp reviews: Trisha is the best. She is gentle and great at what she does. Look no more! read more

OMG... unsanitary conditions..... I now have a toe fungus and lot's of Doctor Bills ( have to say the leg & foot massage was the best I've ever had) But never again!!!!!......... The Nails: .the guy used his dirty nails to push my cuticles back... Never Again read more

Their manicurist, Jerry, does a fantastic job with pink and white acrylic nails! A full set for only $30.00, including a top coat of gel polish. Please ask for Jerry, you will not be disappointed. read more

have been using this salon for about three years and was satisfied until recently. two pedicures ago the woman cut my toe. then I went back for another pedi and the woman cut my toe so badly it bled. I went in two weeks later for a polish change and was told I needed a pedi. I told the woman I just had one two weeks prior, but she insisted I needed another one. I chose a simple polish change and it was awful. She painted right over the red sand from the nail file. On another note they double dip in the wax. I've been getting my eyebrows done for the 3 years, and recently went into the wasing room after a bikini wax on another customer and had to DEMAND clean waxing tools. YUCK. and to think of all the times I've not known. :( They also have a new policy in place that puts an extra $1 charge on top of the bill if you use a credit/debit card.They guys do a better job than the women in this salon, but sadly I'm now shopping for a new salon. read more

Had my first visit yesterday for a pedicure. The technician did a great job.....great value. My only complaint were some of the patrons....noisy and CONSTANTLY talking on their cell phone! I like to relax when I go to the nail salon and l do not want to hear someone's conversation to their entire family! Be courteous of others and wait to talk later....especially if it's 30 min. of personal nonsense. I will try them again maybe during the week when it's not as busy. Wish they could put up a sign asking for minimum cell use since these folks don't seem to know any better. read more

Horrible experience for our first time at the salon. The pedi was great but the mani runes the experience. It took so long for my mani pedi while my friends who got the same thing were done 1 got before me. I got the French on my mani and the white was layered on so thick and looks so unprofessional. I couldn't handle it so I went bak to ask for my money back for the mani and they wouldn't do it. Now I have to pay another place to get them done all over again because they look so awful I can't handle it! Apparently they've had high turnover in staff the people just didn't know what they were doing. Don't go! read more

My guy, Pete, and I had manicures and pedicures. I also had a face waxing with Lucy. David did my nails and was awesome. KIm did Pete's and for a first time experience, he loved it. Great service and good prices. We were traving thru the area from Texas and relied upon Yelp to choose a salon. Good deal, it was wonderful. read more

We had an appointment for 1:00. I was moved to a spa chair but then ignored. My SIL pedi was started at 1:25. I was still ignored " soon". I left. Can't comment on their work as I didn't stay after waiting 30 minutes for my appt. I will say it could have been cleaner .... Much cleaner. If you don't mind waiting, don't mind crowded and aren't too fussy about clean, this place might be ok. Disappointing as my SIL wanted to have nails done together. That's why we made an appointment. Wasn't going to happen. Very very pour management. read more

Today my best friend and I decided to go in for a relaxing mani pedi day, and boy oh boy did we get anything but that. For starters, both of us had 2 different people work on our feet. One would start then they would move to somebody else and another worker would finish. I didn't put my feet in the water once during my pedicure. My manicurist was in a major rush and cut me several times during my pedicure. They started both of our nails while we were getting our toes done and stopped in the middle to move onto other customers. When getting our nails done, my best friends manicurist just got up and disappeared for 20 minutes without explaining where she was going. Turns out she was waxing another customers eyebrows in the middle of her manicure. OK...... so not 10 minutes later she gets up again and starts doing somebody else's pedicure in the middle of her mani. She was not prepared at all, using other people's tools, brushes, and polishes. The gel light wasn't working so her manicure is a mess. AND she put the wrong color...... My manicurist was so absent minded she continuously cut me and told me to hold still. AWFUL experience and we will never be back. Fancy nails used to be the best place in the desert.... not sure what happened. read more

Great place for all services. Nina is my girl for nail needs, Amy is LOVED by my daughter for pedicures (she is friendly, gentle AND...she holds has a conversation with her customers if they wish to do so). Trish for eyebrow waxing....she rocks! Clean and sanitary. read more

I've gone to fancy nails before and loved it! This is my first time getting my nails done in about a year though and a guy named Sunny did my nails, and was beyond nice. Online it says they close at 7:30, so I came about 6:30, and came to get a full set with a eyebrow wax. While he was doing my nails I noticed on the door they closed at 7. I then said how sorry I was because it was 7:50 and he was just starting to paint my nails. He was in no rush what so ever took his time while all his fellow workers were leaving, I then said "I'm sorry for making you stay longer" and he told me multiple times don't feel bad and don't be sorry no worries. Him and another worker named Kim talked to me the whole time and really made me feel welcomed. I definitely will never go any where else anymore, especially for them staying an hour extra to make my nails look good! LOVE my nails! ASK FOR SUNNY OR KIM!! read more

Fancy Nails & Tattoos - Nail Salons Near Me - La Quinta, California

I came into this nail salon with my sister on Nov 23 to get a mani/pedi while I was vacationing in the desert for Thanksgiving. During my pedicure, the woman cut my big toe on my left foot while cutting my cuticle. I wasn't happy about it but I figured accidents happen so no big deal. She apologized and tried to quickly wash away the little blood from my cuticle. I left reasonably pleased with the service. My toe was sore that night and started to ache the following day to the point where I had a slight limp when I walked. It lasted for about 2 days and went away, I just assumed it was bruised from the cut. I returned to FL and was unable to get another mani/pedi until 3+ weeks later on Dec 27, 2014. When my trusted salon in FL removed my toe nail polish I noticed 1/2 of my left big toe nail was yellow and discolored under the nail. I freaked out because I have never had this happen in 25 years of having regular mani/pedis. I immediately went to my General Practitioner who referred me to a Podiatrist for a toe nail fungal infection. I had a biopsy of my toe nail and now have to be on 12 weeks of an oral anti fungal medication to get rid of this infection, which also has caused me to lose my nail and will take up to 1 year to heal and grow back. Word to the wise, make sure all tools and tub are cleaned and sanitized or buyer beware!!! read more

The worst manicure of all time. The tech did not get all of the previous nail polish off, tried to rush through trimming the cuticles, cut my finger and tried to start painting with poish, blood and dead skin still on the nails. Do not go to this salon. There are many better choices in the area. read more

Im not quite sure what that gentleman was talking about down there but when i went to fancy nails i was taken care of very well by Kristy, she did my eyebrows maybe the best perfect arch that i needed compared to the other salons I've been to in that area. What I'm saying is that theirs good & bad reviews on here but i believe this salon treats everyone very well. read more

I came here with my two sisters and aunt, who has never been to a nail salon before. I wanted a gel manicure, my aunt wanted a regular manicure, and my two sisters wanted acrylics. Somehow, they managed to mix us all up because no one was communicating with us where to sit, and because of it they clipped all my nails off while I was picking my color and not paying attention because they thought I was getting acrylics. It had taken me WEEKS to grow my nails out to the length they were at so I was incredibly annoyed, especially since I told the guy doing my nails that I wanted to keep them long. Also, this place loves to con more money out of you. They charged my sister extra for the SHAPE of her acrylics and they gave my aunt the gel manicure I was supposed to have, which was double the price, and charged her for a massage because she didn't know any better and they didn't tell her it would be extra. They also wanted to charge me $1 to use my card so I paid with cash. I would not recommend this salon, the service was terrible and the actual manicures were only mediocre for the price. read more

if I could put a -5 stars I would. All I can say is don't waste your money here. I'm extremely disappointed. went because I had read good reviews here on yelp but now I wish I hadn't spent so much money there. I asked for a gel manicure with french tips. And amy did my nails, I had called in advance so I didn't have to wait but when I was being walked to the table I saw it was covered in nail dust and all that nasty stuff, she only grabbed the towel she had used on the previous client and wiped it away, didn't use any spay or clean towels atleast. But she put a clean towel for my hands to rest on. I saw she kept pushing buttons to the uv light like she was having trouble making it work. I gave her a good tip thinking she had done a good job. The nexr day I wake up to cracked nails. I thought maybe I had messed them up so I decided to ignore it. A day later they start to chip off. So I call in and tell them what's happening. I asked them to fix it and they wanted to charge me for their mistake I told them I wouldn't pay for their mistakes. So jerry redid my nails. He was nice and although the first time my nails had been horrible I decided to give him a good tip aswell since it hadn't been his wrong the first time. Well two days later my nails cracked again. The next day half of my nails are completely chipped you can't even tell I had gotten a gel manicure 3 days before. I have gotten gel nails before and had certainly not had this horrible experience. The whole point of gel is for them to last 2 weeks. And not 3 days. And trust me I'm a cosmetologist so I know about nails and I have to say this place is a disappointment. My husband wants me to go back and tell them to fix them again. But honestly I ragter not waste my time there anymore. Ill just go somewhere else. So I decided to write a review on here so others don't go thru the same thing. read more

Loves lee job and patience as well as the people there .. Very nice

Okay, my first experience here was 5 stars. I get the basic pedicure - which is reasonably priced. On my first visit, the place was packed, but I was serviced right away. I picked a light purple polish and told the manicurist that I had a bruise on one of my toenails and did she think the polish too light. She said she could make it work, and she did. She was funny, and competent. Toenails looked great and lasted a long time. So, on my return visit, I walk into the place and no one is there, except for 4 employees all on their cell phones. Of course I was escorted to a chair right away. However, when I took off my flip flops to climb up onto the chair, I noticed I was stepping on nail clippings and dried cuticle material. GROSS. I walked into an empty place with 4 idle workers and no one could sweep the floor? Should have walked out then. Again, I picked a light color and the girl doing my nails didn't want to make it work with my fading bruise. When I told her that her co-worker was able to cover the bruise with a light primer of white polish, she begrudgingly added the white. As soon as she finished polishing my nails, she slipped my flip flops on while the nails were very wet. WHOA. No one was in the salon. Why was I rushed like this? I was told to put my nails under the dryer for 5 minutes. I stayed under for 12. Paid the very reasonable price went home and sure enough by the time I got home and looked at my nails in the sunlight, they were smudged. NEVER AGAIN. Too many other salons to try. read more

The worst place ever. First off I had a new guy do my nails who kept messing up on every step then he decides to take off my broken nail after he has put on acrylic which leads to my cuticle to bleed alot with him trying to get it off and the whole time made me feel like it was my fault and I was fine when I really wasn't and everyone who worked their just stood around like nothing was happening and to top it off they made me still pay after nearly taking a finger off. read more

I was there today getting a fill after a new set a week later, I was started by someone who was just learning i guess, i then waited for another lady to finish and she started while teaching 2 other employees... I asked for my nails to be more narrow and she then cut my pinky and asked if it was ok and I couldn't believe she cut them without telling me. She never made them narrow so now they are like a big blob of acrylic on my nails, she went to hide and the back and a young girl try to finish my polish and it looked like she was also learning, I had her remove my polish and I removed myself from the location. I am suppose to go back and have them fix them after work, hopefully from someone who knows what they are doing.. I WILL NO LONGER GIVE THEM MY BUSINESS.... So i went back after work and instead of them helping me the same lady just handed me my money and told me to leave... I couln't help but laugh and walk out.. I ended up going to 2 different places to clean up the mess they made.. DO NOT GO HERE, THEY ARE RUDE AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO NAILS.. read more
