I usually never give out bad ratings on Yelp because I understand the negative effects it may have on the business. I've been to many nail salons (you can click on my profile and see all my positive reviews) but this place has to be the worst one yet. The beautiful natural nails I grew out are completely ruined. The moment I sat down, I had a bad feeling. It took them 1 hr to remove acrylics and they drilled my nail bed so badly that they were thin. Then, they cut down my natural nails all the way to the flesh. They continued to use harsh drills on my nails where I repeatedly had to pull away to avoid getting cut or burnt. All my nails were unevenly filed. I've also never had a nail salon apply the color gel without the base coat which explains why all my nails are so bumpy and uneven. Im so sad at the poor state of my nails. I'll have to wait another 6 months to recover my nails. I still tipped 20% for the $55 acrylic full set but I think people should reconsider coming here. read more

I called to see if there was a wait for walk-in, pedi on Tuesday afternoon. There wasn't, it was actually empty. Probably because everyone else got their pedi before Easter. The ladies were so kind. They didn't try to upsell me. For a basic pedi it was $26. Even came with a 5 minute message. I loved the attention to detail and variety of regular nail polish colors they had. Everything seemed well kept. I'll definitely be back if the polish doesn't chip. read more

This was my first time coming to this nail salon with my boyfriend from Sacramento and he called ahead to ask about pricing and let them know I wanted a basic pedicure with acrylic on the big toes and a cheetah print design. They said it would be $53 and we came in. An older lady was working on my toes and from the beginning I could see she didn't know how to lay the acrylic down and it was uneven and nothing like what I asked for. Another lady had to come and do the other side and try to fix the first side but it still looked crooked. I also showed the older lady what I wanted before she started and she said she could do it but when I showed the other lady she said she didn't know how to do it and nobody else in the show knew how to. The older lady was also using her fingers to squeeze out some kind of solution from her brush which is very unsanitary. I then just asked for basic French tip and showed her another picture but she still made the lines to thick even after asking her several times to thin them out. In attempt to spruce them up l asked for basic flower decals which they did not have nor did they have any gems. I ended up just requesting for the service to be finished so I could be done. The older lady then still tried to charge us until the other lady stepped in and said we didn't have to pay. Definitely do not recommend coming here. read more

The service provided for pedicure was excellent. The details from cutting the nails, descaling the soles and massage was outstanding.

Jenny has original designs and many choices of color and styles, from traditional to fancy glittery nails. Manicures, pedicure are their specialty! Services are available for men, women and children. Great hospitality and service! Every time I arrive, I am automatically given refreshments, such as iced water and a cookie! Call and book your appointment, they are open 6 days a week. Tell 'em Rosemary sent ya! read more

Exceptional pedicure and gel nail services provided by Harry. The staff was courteous and professional.

I've been going to Gel Lust nails for a long time. More than a year ago, they went through a new owner, change. All of the ladies and Harry do a great job. I highly recommend them for your nails and toes. read more

Other than the strong smell of acetone and nail polish, my experience at Gel Lust Nails & Spa was great! I'm not sure if appointments really make a difference. I showed up at my appointment time and still had to wait. However, the ladies offered me a snack & water which made the wait pass more quickly. I was getting my nails done for a wedding and all I had to do was show the technician a screenshot I had taken off of Pinterest. Her replication wasn't perfect, but I was happy with it. It helped that she would check-in with me after laying down a coat to verify that the color & design still matched what I wanted. Getting my nails done took about 30-45 minutes and was about $60 for the design I chose. read more

I came here since I was visiting my mom in the area and needed my nails done ASAP. Unfortunately, not all technicians are able to do designs. When I inquired about whether my technician could do a French tip, she said she couldn't and could only do solid colors only despite it being offered as an add-on on the sign. They seemed to be backed up because only one or two people can actually do designs, so they rotate. This actually wasn't that big of a deal to me, but even the basic gel color I ended up getting was pretty thick/uneven. And I think they don't use the best brand since my polish started lifting/peeling pretty soon after compared to other salons I've gone to. I also feel like they didn't clean/cut my cuticles as cleanly as I'm used to despite paying the same price as my regular salon. It's a good spot if you're in a pinch and looking for something affordable, but I would definitely request the more experienced technicians if I were to return in the future. read more

After moving from Rowland Heights to Diamond Bar, I've been to plenty of different nail salons around the area, and I always find myself coming back here. The shop is clean and parking is always easy. The owner Jenny, is extremely friendly, nice, and funny. She always does the best job on my super long acrylic nails! Anything I request, she can do. She's quick at what she does, and very detail oriented and always takes the extra step to make sure your nails are perfect. I love her nail shaping and designs. She never disappoints! Not to mention, the prices are always reasonable. And they always give you snacks and drinks, which is very rare for any salon. The other women usually does my pedicures as well, and they do a great job too! I even brought my boyfriend here for his first pedicure and he loved it! They are always able to get me in any day at last minute notice and I highly recommend coming here for all your nail needs! read more

Skip this place, please try Romantique Nail and Spa nearby... at gel lust, instead of a relaxing experience, I was met with attitude and condescension. The nail technician from Anaheim continuously acted unprofessional, raised her voice and was unnecessarily rude. Do not recommend due to very poor service read more

New owners. The service was great and after winter hibernation, my feet are happy again. Will definitely be back.

If I could give a zero or negative I would. I am so disappointed, as I have been a loyal customer since they first opened in Diamond Bar. Last week I went in for a regular gel service and dip powder removal. The lady that did my nails was the newer lady (don't know her name), nothing against her but she is so inexperienced with finger nails, I believe she does more pedis, it was agonizing to sit through her trying to figure things out. While I was getting my nails done though, the worst possible thing happened another worker was giving me a massage on my neck and shoulders; then she proceed to reach around my chest and grabbed my breast!!! Both breast, squeezed, laughed and said "oohh natural huh". This incident was revolting and completely uncalled for. In the moment, I was so shocked I honestly didn't know what to do. I wasn't going to post about this, however, it's been eating me up and I will no longer give any business to this shop! Being inappropriately touched is so often depicted by a male/female environment and this is completely not okay. I will not stand for being inappropriately touched and then have the situation be made a mockery. Nothing was funny about it! I wish in the moment I had the strength to speak up other than saying "you cannot do that to people". There's so much I think back on that I should have said. I write this to let others know and speak my truth now. NEVER AGAIN WILL I LET SOMEONE TOUCH ME AND NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKE ACTION AND SPEAK UP!! It was wrong and I want everyone to know. read more

el salón se ve mejor de lo que trabajan. pensé que al menos el resultado iba a medio valer... pero ni eso. definitivamente no regreso.

Amazing service, very kind and thoughtful staff. Definitely coming back. Overall a great time

Harry has been doing my nails for a while now and he is the best! He always gets my nails looking exactly how I want them and he takes his time to make them look nice. They also have a really good selection of colors to select from which I love. Everyone that works there is so nice and welcoming. And they all do a great job. Highly recommend going here if you are in search of a nail salon. read more

It's very friendly. I don't feel like I'm being judged, and my husband goes there get his ears waxed too.

I came here to get my nails done because of the recent 5 star reviews but this place was a disappointment. It def could be better. Went to the shop on a Tuesday at 11am, thermostat was at 84 degrees. AC was off for what seemed like forever. Not the most comfy environment for what I thought would be a relaxing mani/pedi. Within a day my gel polish started peeling one on of my nails. Went to get it fixed but a couple days later, the rest of em started peeling off my nails. Not sure if it was just the polish I chose or their technique or the equipment. Also when they put my sandals back on after my pedi, it ruined the nail polish. Instead of redoing the nails, they tried to fix it with a little nail polish remover and their fingertips. Still looked funny but at that point I was just tired of sitting there. It's really disappointing considering the cost and it only lasting less than a week. read more

I went in to get gel nails and gel pedi, my sister got acrylics and pedi.. these services took 3 hours and 1/2. Disappointed because she had us sit down and applied my sisters acrylics (tips), but then resumed services with her until 2 hours later. My sister got additional help from the owner two hours later but she got up quickly once a customer walked in (without appointment). I was very disappointed such a long wait. I had been recommended this place but unfortunately will not return. Grand total 190, didn't trim cuticles, nails chipped two days later.. bad experience read more

Gel Lust Nails & Spa - Stolen picture from Ana Bornthatway.. i did not take one, but they give you a small water and a bag of chips when you sit down. - Nail Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

First time coming here. Never again. Worst pedicure ever. It's supposed to be $38 for the signature #2 with the 10 min foot massage. This older lady who did my pedicure did the gel nails first, then she forgot the massage so she did it after doing my toes. She proceeded to "massage" with latex gloves. And by massage I mean rubbing lotion on my calves with rubber latex gloves on, then she just touched my toes and feet and proceeded to rub latex lotion all over. The feeling was extremely unpleasant and my feet now smell like latex then when I get to pay they say it's $51 because the gel is extra $12. Wish they said that before I did gel. PLUS THERE IS GEL POLISH ON MY SKIN....!!!! read more

I used to go to another local nail salon but switched to Gel lust! Kelly was my first nail tech, and she did a fantastic job! I've also had Vee and Jenny do my manicure, and my nails always come out amazing. For pedicures, I can't recommend Henry enough! His attention to detail is up to par and he takes his time with each client. Overall I've been happy with the services! I've brought my sister, mom and daughter to this salon and they always do a great job. read more

I'm not a girly girl and don't typically enjoy getting my nails done, but I always love coming here. The experience is always good and they always do exactly what I want with my nails. Sometimes I bring my 5-year-old daughter and they give her as much attention as they do an adult. Ms. Jenny and her team do a great job and it never feels rushed, even if other people are waiting. It's one of the few nail salons where appointment times are actually respected. They always offer a snack and drink and are extremely kind and courteous. Oh, and this is the only salon where I've actually used the massage chairs! I definitely recommend!!!! read more

I was recommended here by a friend and needless to say, I think I may have finally found my go-to spot! I've been to SO many salons in the West Covina, Rowland, Diamond Bar areas that I was starting to get discouraged. The two ladies who run the place are very sweet and attentive. They weren't pushy and asked questions to get to know me. They're the only two there (sometimes 3) but the owner was saying it's because they don't want to feel rushed with their customers. That they want to be able to take their time and really give a good experience for their customers. Walk ins are welcome, but since there really are only a few people working, I would suggest making an appointment! Definitely will be back! read more
