Came here for the first time today. People were very nice. Gave me water and took me right away. Got a gel mani, with this neat magnetic paint. It took a while to do because they had to use a magnet to make the design. My nails look great, even though the lady doing my mani cut my finger, it was still a good experience. Price was responsible enough $55.00 after tip. The man was very nice and personable. Will come back again. read more

My first gel manicure from here lasted 3 weeks without chipping. So I came back and just had my second gel manicure with Julie. I couldn't find the color I was thinking about in the sample books with lots of colors to choose from. I described the color I wanted and she knew exactly what I wanted and am very happy with the results. It's a busy place and they take walk ins but I suggest making a reservation. read more

I've been coming here every two weeks for months now and have never experienced horrible service until today. There are hairs trapped inside the nail polish, I have nail polish on my skin and the tips are painted horrible. But what made me furious was that I was rushed out of my pedicure chair because two girls insisted on sitting next to each other. They lost my business. read more

I love this place, come here very often and have had multiple people do my nails and they've each done a great job. I highly recommend them and will continue coming here! Prices are extremely reasonable and they have lots of choices for dip manicure colors read more

First timer here and I must say, the salon itself is very cute. Today was my first time coming in right when they opened with no appointment. I did a full set and gel pedicure. My full set was around $60 and my gel pedicure around $30 as well. The environment is peaceful and great. I'll be coming again soon. read more

They were very nice and accommodating in terms of making the appointment and making me feel safe and comfortable however it took 2 HOURS so do a gel manicure. I was a little frustrated and 1.5 hours in lost my patience a bit because I don't believe doing a French tip manicure should take that long. If you're looking for a solid color or pedicure I'm sure they'll do a great job. read more

*****FIVE STARS!!!!***** Howard & Sophie (the owners) have a great place! It's new and kept very clean. Sitting in there takes you back in time with the decor. Selena & Cindy do an amazing job on nail fills and pedicures! Howard too. ;) read more

Fats by is my favorite nail place! They are open both inside and outside, take your temperature and provide hand sanitizer. Always do a great job! read more

This was my first mani pedi since the lock down. I was about ten minutes early for my 9am mani/pedi, they brought a chair outside for me immediately, I was definitely 6 feet away from other patrons. Everyone had a mask on. The nail tech was very sweet and my nails came out great. They are super busy though and around 10am the next group of appointments were there and it felt a bit more crowded then I liked. I plan to make an earlier appointment next time to avoid that. You are getting your mani pedi in front of the store on the sidewalk but there is enough room so people passing by are not very close to you. I will be back and definitely recommend. ($35 for mani/pedi fyi) read more

This place is always very accommodating and welcoming! I recently got acrylics which is normally something I don't do, but I was so impressed with the detail and effort they put into them! I have never been happier with my nails. Thank you! read more

I had a pedicure done on a Sunday morning at 9:00 AM. It's nice to find a place that opens that early. I was running a little late and I may have rushed the lady. The next day, I called and spoke to Sophie (I believe she is the manager). I mentioned to her that I'd like to have my big toe filed a little more. She was very understanding and offered to do it free of charge. I am not writing this review because she did it the second time for free, but I decided to write the review because Sophie and her staff are so friendly, so professional, the store is incredibly clean, and the vibe is so calm and relaxing. Great job Sophie! I will definitely be back! read more

My first time here and definitely not my last. This place is really nice. Loved the environment, loved how clean it was. Howard did my nails, he was very nice and did an amazing job. Loved how they came out (exactly what i wanted). I also got a pedicure and they did a great job as well . Definitely worth more than 5 stars . read more

Great experience! Very friendly staff who went over and above. The salon is very nice and in such a great location so the price is extremely reasonable. I got a pedicure and looking forward to going back for a manicure. read more

Place was nice and clean but the guy that did my nails was horrible! He was so rough, burned me a couple of times, made my nails really thick, and when it came down to filing my nails, he would tug down on my nails so hard that I was literally in pain. Never going back. Don't recommend this place read more

Had come here about a month ago for a pedicure and the mother (owner?) and her daughter were super sweet. After getting dip nails done outside of town, came here again for a dip refill and a pedicure. The tech was very sweet, but did not speak the entire time. Service was a bit slow (took an hour and a half for both services). During my time in the chair, the daughter came several times to ask the tech different questions about service (matching color, services, etc). It was apparent there was lack of confidence. When paying for my bill and was charged $4 more (dip versus refill). When talking with the daughter, she went to cancel my transaction but couldn't. Said she'd give me the $4 difference in cash, but then went and talked with the tech. Tech said because my nails were grown out (4 weeks since last service), they had to redo. It's my understanding one of the benefits of dip versus acrylic was that it would last longer and there would be less concern with upkeep. NONE of this was communicated. I asked for clarification, as it was not written anywhere or communicated by tech. In the end, because of the small area to discuss, and in an effort to not make a scene...paid the extra and left. Felt as if the management was not strong there, customer service was not the best and communication was poor. I'd like to encounter again, so sadly they've lost a customer to another salon in the area which stands by their prices/services. read more

Wow, such an amazing, dedicated, friendly staff! Very accommodating, was able to make an appointment the day of. It was raining ash and they were still outside doing our nails. When it was time for my manicure they moved me to a covered area so I wouldn't get too much ash on me. I definitely reccomend and I can't wait to go back, this will probably be my new nail place read more

Really sad to write a bad review because my nails came out beautiful and the technicians that worked on my nails were very skillful. But I cannot ignore the treatment my aunt was given. She came in with my other aunt and myself who both got pedicures. They started at the same time but one of my aunts was "finished" almost 20 minutes before the other. Didn't get lotion, massage, or careful pampering that was offered to my other aunt. When asked about it she was called a liar because the technicians said she did do the lotion and massage and never apologized until the very end...to my other aunt and not the one who was ignored. Would have brushed off if they just forgot or are new but accused her as a liar and not treating her the same as myself or my aunt. It was discrimitory seeing that my aunt was the only black customer in the place and the only one who received poor service. It breaks my heart to have witness this. read more

Love this place! Everyone is very friendly and have smiles on their faces. The girls who did my nails were very thorough and just did a wonderful job with my gel mani and pedi. I've been searching for a nail salon for the past few months now. I've gone to at least 6 different salons around the area and I can finally say the search is over cuz this place is IT!!! read more

Moved to Glendora over 6 mos ago and been to three other nail shops that have not met standards for me to want to return. Gatsby Nails is the place for me! Very customer-friendly! Thank you guys! I'll see y'all in three weeks! read more

I'm giving this place two stars because the salon looks cute and extremely clean. The staff were nice and welcoming. They lost the remaining three stars because of their sloppy work. My hubby still had dirt under his finger nails and toe jam in his big toe (yes, I said toe jam lol). See pics. As for myself, I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. My toe nails turned out cute. No complaint there. But my nails were/are all somewhat lumpy and stuck to my skin. I asked the lady to fix them and she used her nail to separate my skin from the gel. I had to file the sides a bit to fix them when I got home. As my hubby and I left, we agreed that we would never return to Gatsby Nails. read more

Gatsby Nails - 2 weeks later - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendora, California

I've gone to this place twice now. The first time was for a pedicure that I was overall happy with. The second time was for a dip manicure. I'm pretty picky about where I get my nails done because it's not cheap and I like to know what quality I'm going to get, this place was probably the worst place I've ever gone to for dip. The service was bad and he actually gripped my thumb so hard it hurt haha. Then it chipped a few days later so I went back to have them fix it and I felt like I was being a pain in their ass just to get one nail fixed. Then a week later several nails were chipping. So I decided to go back in just to have them take it all off so I could start fresh somewhere else. They didn't tell me it was going to cost $10 just to have them remove the dip until after they finished. I would've just let them all chip off if I knew. Probs never going back to this place and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Came in this morning for a quick color change. As always, owner Howard was very courteous and friendly. He greeted me right away and asked me what I needed today. Right away he let me know they were happy to assist. At the end of ny service Howard gave me a complimentary bottle of wine! How awesome is that! I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

I came here for a great manicure! I called last minute to see if they had same day appointment to fit me in and they took me. They did an amazing job. I loved my nails so much and they lasted long. Definitely will be back. Thank you. read more

I have had issues in the past with other nail salons, getting toe nail fungus etc. Gatsby is very clean and sanitary. They use plastic liners with every pedicure; therefore, I have been fungus free. In addition my hand nails and toenails always look beautiful !! There are several salons close to where I live in LaVerne, but this salon was a great find and a keeper. The staff are always friendly and professional. read more

I can't stretch enough how much I love this place. I've been coming here for a while and almost all the employees have worked on either my nails or toes! And each time it comes out amazing! They have recently got in new gel colors that also have a matching regular polish as well! Today I went in and asked for a coffin shape, I've only ever gotten stilettos from here but Gatsby Nails did not disappoint! read more

So I really wanted to like this place but it really is less than mediocre. I received a pedicure and a manicure with gel. The pedicure was great but the gel nails were the worst I've ever received. Less than a week following my appointment my nails are chipped and they are discolored and dull. (Yellow and a faded color). And I'm not a smoker. This place is overrated. If you want quality work that will last go to Charmers and ask for Stacy! She takes pride In her work read more

New favorite place!! Pricing is fair, atmosphere is incredible, the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. They gave me a water bottle within seconds of sitting down! (: I loved how my nails turned out too; they are the perfect length and the exact shape I like! AND They have the chrome powder for gel nails!! Highly recommend this place for anyone picky about their acrylics or gel. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The worst experience I've ever had getting a simple manicure and pedicure. Also, not allowing people to put tip on their credit card, so we can use your atm machine and get charged a ridiculous atm fee that you end up keeping is so wrong. The fact this place has 4 1/2 stars blows my mind. Finally, they are so cheap and cut corners on the products they use for a proper manicure and pedicure. I definitely will never walk into this place again and I recommend no one else does either. The only positive thing about this place was that some of the manicurist were sweet. read more

I love it here! Everyone is so nice and attentive. I get a DIP and they they always do an amazing job. They are pretty busy so I suggest making a appointment. read more

I've been wanting to try out Gatsby Nails since my friend always raves about this nail salon. I went on a Wednesday morning to avoid the crowds since even though they just opened, this place surely shines above the rest and every time I pass the nail salon, it's always quite busy. I came with a pinterest picture in mind and showed the receptionist. I believe this "receptionist" I spoke to, was one of the owners, Sophie. Super sweet woman! The picture was of the style of mirror chrome nails. Unfortunately, they didn't have the color on site, so her husband (the other owner of the salon), told the manicurist to start my manicure as he will go out looking for the color. He went to 3 stores in Rosemead to find this specific color I wanted! If that doesn't scream genuine, exceptional customer service, I don't know what does. But, because he had to go all the way to Rosemead to get this specific color, no one knew for sure when he would get back. I lived close and told them that I would come back when he was back. They then comp'ed my service and apologized for the wait. They were so nice and sweet about it, I told them that it was okay, and that I too was sorry for the inconvenience. They kept saying that, what was important was to make the customer happy. Trust me, they did! I got a call about 45 minutes later letting me know that the owner was back with my color. I came back, got my nails done, and they were gorgeous! Two days later, I saw that the chrome color on my nails were chipping/peeling and since I've never had chrome done (especially being a rookie in the nail world), I called the salon and asked if it was a normal thing. I spoke to Sophie and she told me to come back in. When I came back in the salon, I was told that chrome usually wears off faster than most of the nail trends and that the amount that a person uses their hands and fingers, would depend how long it lasted, in pristine condition of course. With this new knowledge, I swapped the white base coat with a black base coat, and they re-did my nails. My nails after, with the swapped black base coat, literally perfected what I wanted my nails to look like! I was extremely happy with how they came out! When I got up to pay, I was told that there was no need. This nail salon, goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service and all of the manicurists here pay extreme attention to detail to make sure the service they provide is at a top quality. I don't normally give out 5-star reviews but this nail salon stands way above the rest of the nail salons in Glendora and I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to invest in a good manicure/pedicure! read more

I visited Gatsby Nails about 2 weeks ago & came in for a gel manicure & regular pedicure. I arrived with my friend & it was completely empty when we walked in so it was nice having the place to ourselves. Although this place has a very cute decor I am pretty disappointed with my services. Below I inserted a picture of my nail right after it was done. As you can see it looks unfinished and the sides of all my fingernails are not painted at all. I was in a hurry so I didn't want to bother staying longer to have them fix them. My gel polish is already peeling 2 weeks later but perhaps it was the polish I chose. The customer service was excellent, the nail technicians were nice, attentive, and friendly. However, I will not be returning due to a poor nail job and my search for a new nail salon continues. read more

My wife and I went in for pedicures and...this place was filthy. Dirty chairs and cup holders in the massage chairs that may have not been cleaned since they purchased them. They did require masks, hand sanitizing and temperature scan, but they clearly seemed more concerned with Covid than say, hepatitis! The entire event lasted a mere 25 minutes. My big toe was bloody on both sides of the nail, which was not even trimmed. I had to cut it myself when I got home. My wife was very pleased with her gel color, but then again, she did choose it herself. There was no discussion of which level of service we wanted, so we got what they offered...basic. The environment was not upscale or relaxing. The music choice was early 80's b side tracks. If you have an option choose any other salon, ANY! read more

Got a fill and asked for a dip on my nails. No dips, and the girl put about 10 layers on gel on them so they are lumpy as cottage cheese. Asked for shorter stiletto nails and they are uneven and misshapen. Also, I was nicked twice by the grinder and I'm lucky I didn't bleed. The acrylic close to my nails is not even on all the them and I had to file it since there were rough spots. 45 dollars for a gel polish and fill. read more

I'm so disappointed with this place I've been coming for a while and this is the first time I'm walking out feeling very annoyed and frustrated. Ryan did my gel pedi and despite him being very shakey the whole time I let him keep going when I made one remark about how it's clumpy he just passed me on to a lady who tried to fix his mess without even saying a work and after 30 minutes they still look uneven and not smooth at all! I'm so sad because I actually liked this place but will not come back after this because I'm not paying to leave disappointed. There are plenty of nail places in Glendora who have much better nail artists. 1 stars is only for the lady to did my gel full set because she was nice and fixed anything she saw looked wrong before I even said anything. I have my daughters first birthday on Sunday and I absolutely hate my nails waste of $80 I could have done it myself and loved them more. read more
