Been here a few times... The employees here are very helpful and nice! I had a problem with my gel manicure peeling and they fixed it AT NO CHARGE! Definitely coming back. read more

Reasons why this is the ONLY nail salon I will ever go to: 1) If you make an appointment, it is honored on time! Best salon as far as respect for YOUR time goes. At other salons, nothing irritates me more than having to wait 10+ minutes after your appointment time for a walk in to finish. 2) Great customer service and care for you as a person. When you walk through the door, Hoang (Wang) is immediately up, greeting you by name and showing you to your seat. 3) Everyone is friendly, pays attention to detail and wants to give you a quality nail service. They are interested in YOU! We absolutely adore Hoang, Thuy, Teresa, Tiffany, Nancy, & Hannah. 4) If you have a concern, don't be a jerk about it, just bring it to their attention. They will do their best to make it right. 5) Make an appointment, don't expect to walk in. I've been coming to Lacquered Up for years! I've never stayed as loyal to any nail salon. Their loyal customers know that appointments are the only way to guarantee their fabulous services! FINALLY... 6) SKILLET!! Enough said. read more

I live in claremont and have always seen this place driving by. Made an appointment for a manicure pedicure. The salon is very clean, and has a nice atmosphere. They do not, however, have massage chairs with feet spas. This makes it very uncomfortable when you're getting your pedicure as you're practically holding up your own feet trying not to push the pedicurist to the other end of the room (Im a small girl but still had this problem). The massages were horrible. Im talking no pressure, no effort, nothing. Probably the worst mani pedi massage I have ever gotten! Not to mention, the woman doing my pedicure didnt even try to scrub the bottom of my feet. She was either really lazy or really new, either way c'mon!! They had good nail colors (essie) but the sides of my nails were not covered! Thats like nail101, I could have done a better job at home! Overall, for a 34 dollar service i expected more. read more

The best place to have your nails done!! I'm super picky and always have a ton of extra skin around my nail beds to remove. All of the staff is so good with not only removing it but painting and shaping my nails to perfection. Plus who can resist Skillet the shop poodle! read more

There is nothing worse than calling a place and asking if they take walk-ins and they tell you unequivocally yes. Then you show up at 1 and they tell you that they can't take you till 5. Why didn't they just say that when I called? Wasted my time and gas to drive here and we're very rude about it. I wouldn't have minded making an appointment but I was told I didn't need to. Yelp should change this to say appointment only read more

My Pitzer daughter recommended this salon for a pedicure and I agree with many of the other reviewers that the salon was quiet, peaceful and there was certainly a lack of upselling of any kind. In fact, I would have liked to have known there were different add-ons to the basic pedicure - I would have certainly tried them, had I known. As it was, I had a very short, basic pedicure for $20, but the technician (Tara?) was skilled and did a superb job filing down my thick toenails with an electric sander. (I did not have polish so I cannot attest to that). They were on time and ready when I arrived. My only two negatives are the chairs - while big and soft, I didn't find them comfortable when your feet are up on the technician's pedi-stool. I miss the massage chairs other salons have where your feet are more down on the stool so you don't push the technician away from you when you put your weight on the stool. The second negative is that the chair was dirty when I arrived, with black something or other on a towel next to me. It seemed like it had not been cleaned from the last guest. That said, Hoang was helpful and kind, not pushy, and it is a calm and comfortable place for manicures and pedicures. I ended up getting a gift certificate for my daughter, as it's her favorite place for nails. read more

so, it was my first time getting a pedicure and my wife (who found this place) had been telling me how much I would like it, and how awesome Lacquered Up is. SHE WAS RIGHT.... This is more of a spa than factory farm mani/pedi nail salon.... get comfortable chairs (as some people note, not like in regular nail places...which for me is great as I love these big over sized more like furniture chairs. Music is perfect, not elevator music, but still mellow, and the service was attentive, friendly, and wonderful. Since my first time (which is the review up to now), I have returned to get another pedicure and added the manicure.... no difference in how much I enjoyed this, and how great this place is. I am now spoiled and will continue to get routine Manicures and Pedicures as I am totally spoiled with the service..... You got to go here! read more

Went back because my gel manicure was too lightly layered, they saw me immediately and refused to accept my tip stating "I shouldn't have had to come back in the first place" read more

This is the best nail salon in the area, and honestly the best place I have had my nails done. The quality, price, and service speaks for itself, and it is obvious why they are always busy, and many of their customers are by appointment (so call in advance). I never request someone in particular because everyone always does a fabulous job. read more

Love this place because it's super duper clean which for me is a big big must ! My gel manicured lasted 3 weeks! I definitely recommend this place if your looking for clean anti fungus environment! read more

This salon is phenomenal! Wang, the owner, is exceptional. He runs the salon with the utmost professionalism, and performs his work on my nails with meticulousness and care. The environment is relaxing, and everyone is super friendly. My nails always leave the salon looking and feeling like a million bucks! I'm so glad I tried this place. I've been going for almost a year, and seriously appreciate the consistency of superior service. read more

Took my girlfriend and she can't stop raving how happy her nails are. Chris was pleasant and very courteous. The location was very clean and chairs were very comfortable. I will be taking her back. read more

Just got back from Lacquered Up for a lunchtime manicure. Julianne was great and Wang was very friendly. Loved the clean, modern environment and the comfy chairs. This is the BEST place I have been in Claremont and not $45 like the places in the Village! I highly recommend. read more

This would have been four stars if not for the seats. The big comfy chairs are nice for manicure but difficult for pedicure. The nail designs are great and she took her time and did a nice clean job. Very friendly. read more

Love this place. I have been coming here for years, and they do a great job. If you need your nails done give them a call. 909.625.6345

Wow what a breath of fresh air from the traditional salons! Fantastic ! Was very relaxing not having 10 women all talking to each to other in a foreign language while not speaking to their customers. They actual had real conversations with us! The owner is very nice, Hoang, he did my wife's pedi while I believe Lynette took care of mine. Both did a great job and were very pleasant to talk too. What's also very cool is it's super clean and fungus free. Their "stuff" ( don't what it's called) is all disposable and even the foot soak tubs had liners! Very nice! Reasonable priced, super clean, great work, and superb customer service = 5 stars! Nice work Lacquered Up! Thanks Hoang for a very relaxing time at your establishment! read more

There aren't enough words for me to express how much I LOVE Lacquered Up! I love it so much that I will drive quite a distance to get my nails done here and every time I've come in, I'm even more impressed than the last time. I appreciate businesses like this one for their great customer service and willingness to make each customer happy. For example, they stick to their appointments and will do their BEST to accommodate everyone. Additionally, they also do Nail Parties, and are able to plan things smoothly from start to finish! What I also appreciate is the cleanliness of this nail salon. If they're not assisting with a client, they're busy organizing and cleaning. That's a huge plus. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, very up to date with today's nail trends (including their products), tools are always clean, services are affordable. I had the great pleasure of meeting the owner too! He even gave me a free sample of the most amazing foot scub I've ever had and he made it from scratch! It smells so delicious that I've used it so much, I've almost run out. Looks like I will be purchasing some, if he still has some left! I'm crossing my fingers. read more

This place nailed it! I have been coming here for some time but we moved to LA and I tried about 5 salons here and after seeing how bad other places can be decided to write a review... 1. Salon always clean, and he uses new instruments and bucket liners each time (no more soaking your feet in the same bucket as others) 2. Mani pedi perfect each time, had probably over 49 here and always spot on, gel never peels! 3. All employees super nice, speak English, remember your name when you are a return customer. Girls are super sweet! 5. This one is fantastic - he almost 100% has two people do mani pedi at same, so you are in and out in less than an hour! will keep driving back to claremont for this place, trust me you would too... read more

I have had a history of pure bad luck and bad experiences with nail places. This place I have to admit is a bit on the pricy side. But the gel is done so well that it lasts for a month, and I need to get them done again because my nails grow and it starts looking weird from growing out, not because it's chipping or lifting. My favorite is color 129. I always get compliments at work. And they save your history. Definitely coming back. And the receptionist speaks clear understandable English. read more

My daughter has been here several times and this time she booked services for us. I enjoyed the relaxation and the top notch service. The manicure and pedicure were done with professionalism. There was no rush to get me in and out. There is no tv which is a huge plus. They have relaxing music. The best part is the owner has a small dog and he is the cutest. read more

I found this place by looking up Yelp for a good nail salon near my friends house. I called ahead, and set an appointment late on Sunday afternoon for 2 people, and both of us needed pedis and manis. We were there a bit early, and the owner sat us down and had us wait until someone was available, which was fine, seeing that we were early. There were only 3 technicians there, including the owner, and 4 customers in the shop. I had my friend go first, and one girl began to work on her about 20 minutes after our appointed time. I had asked while there if I could change my mani to a full set, and the owner said it was fine, but he was the only one who was there who could do it, and that I would need to wait after he was done with his client. I agreed, and waited another 30 minutes or so before someone was available to begin my pedi. So even after setting an appointment, it took someone 50 minutes to even begin to work on me. By the time my friend's mani/pedi were done, and my pedi was nearly done, almost 2 hours had gone by. It was well into the evening, and the owner, who seemed to give great service and attention to his customer he was servicing, also took an excessive amount of time to do a manicure for her. They were deep in conversation, and I began to feel that he had forgot about me. I think that even though I had an appointment, and had decided to stay with just having a mani/pedi, I still wouldn't be out in good time, nor would I have even had my mani done. My technician was honest and said that others before us had requested other services that they weren't originally appointed to do, and that they were behind because of it. I began to consider just going with the mani as planned, seeing that it was getting so late, and we had plans afterward. But he was so slow in getting to me, and after waiting 2 hours and only receiving a pedi, I was upset. Quite simply, he over committed himself, and by doing so, prevented me from getting my hands done. Setting an appointment was apparently futile, if there were no staff to keep up with the customers and their changes/requests. If he were better with time management, he would have a repeat customer. If he was honest and sincere about not being able to get to me, I may have found someone else to have done the work, then returned another time to see him. Instead, I was left frustrated by his insincere apology. No discounts were offered for my obvious frustration. The chairs were comfortable, and it was great that everyone there spoke English fluently. The place was clean. The lady who gave me my pedi did a great job, and if I could give her a 5 star rating for her work, I would. My friend's experience was a good one, even though she waited about 20 minutes after her appointed time before they worked on her. I have a feeling the service, despite my experience, is normally very good. If you see them, and you are time-sensitive that day, be sure they are ready and committed to the time you set your appointment at. read more

Love this place. It is very relaxing and there is no chemical smell here. I get my nails done by Kimmy. She is awesome!!! So gentle and her work is perfect. I always leave so happy. My gels last at least 3 weeks....often longer. They use pre-sealed, sterilized tools and only hand buff and file. No dremmel which is a lifesaver for your nails. I will be using this place as long as they are open for business. Very happy client. read more

Finally. I love both my mani and pedi. The girls were super friendly and did such a great job. It's not overpriced. Comfy chairs and clean. Yay! It's been forever since I've had a good experience. So happy! read more

I went here and they accommodated me when I walked in. Got a French pedicure and the lady did a great job, she was very friendly and the massage felt so good. Very clean and their tools are sterilized. I will return. read more

This place is not your typical nail salon and the best part is THEY ALL SPEAK ENGLISH!!! What more can you ask for? Clean great service with no miscommunication. read more

I made an appt and had never been here before. I was greeted with a mimosa and a comfy arm chair. I really like the cleanliness, they use a fresh new insert for your feet to soak in and fresh cleaned tools. The only thing lacking is more atmosphere...they had nice music playing and it was nicely air conditioned...I guess I just like more of a spa like atmosphere...I would def come again. Pedicure was great, I had the Himalayan salt scrub and callus remover as well. The salt scrub irritated my skin some...overall a good experience. read more

Got a gel manicure 2 weeks ago and it still looks great! Found my new nail salon!!

Love this place! The service is great, the owner is friendly and professional. The girls that work for Wang are fabulous; they always help me pick the perfect color for the season or occasion and are friendly to chat with while they are giving a wonderful mani/pedi. You should call ahead if possible for an appointment. Great place!!!! read more

I normally don't give places 5-stars. This nail salon is a 4.5 stars, but I truly liked it here. The only issue I can see is the wait. Sometimes it can be 15-mins sometimes 40-1hr wait. Mimi was very helpful & knowledgable. The prices are incredible! $17.00 for. Pedicure, $15.00 for nail fills & $25.00 for gel nails. If u want to add a basic nail design it's an extra $5.00 or u can add diamonds on your nails for $7.00! The place is very clean & SO MANY up to date colors to choose from. Most places keep only the same colors, but clearly this place changes their colors during each season. read more

Went as a walk in and was told they were busy till after noon and there was no one even on the whole place and the staff was sitting and not one person was in the store will never go back or even try That place again!!! read more

Great service and good work for the price. Very calm and relaxing environment workers were friendly and so kind. Yes my mother and I will return. The owner very kind. Thank you for a different and great experience read more

This place is clean and super friendly. Ask for Tammy. She did a great job on my gel!

Great customer service and they do amazing work! I went in for a French tip mani/pedi and it turned out amazing! They two girls who did my nails really took their time, made sure each hand or foot looked good, and even made sure both hands/feet matched each other. This was my first time here, but it is definitely not my last. I usually just go wherever for my nails but I don't think I want to go anywhere else but here now! read more

Had Tiffany today and she was amazing. She was a perfectionist and I appreciated every detail. Usually I have to ask for them to paint the sides of my nails but she did it automatically and didn't have to be asked. She put time and effort into each nail. I really liked that. The only negative is that I got chrome nails and they didn't tell me how much more I would be charged. I would appreciate them saying "chrome is x amount more is that ok?" I think that's just good customer service. Oh and also they keep their dog in the store which I'm not a huge fan of. Other than that 10 fingers way up! read more

I tried this place based on the positive yelp reviews. However it has taken me almost a year to write a review. This is not your average nail place, this is a step above or really a leap above the typical nail salons. This place is clean, a bug plus for me, and doesnt smell of chemical fumes, another big plus. Yes it costs a little more for their services but in my opinion it is well worth it. You are paying for better quality. All the employees speak English and you never have to worry that they are talking about you. All the employees are super friendly and the owner truly takes pride and remembers his customers making you feel welcome every time you visit. I have yet to be disappointed and Im glad to have tried this place and it is now my go to pedicure salon. read more

I love lacquered up! They are so friendly and helpful and my nails always look perfect. I always come here and bring my family when they visit to get nail art. read more

They do not take new clients for acrylics! I drive from Rancho guess I should have called.

Got a gel manicure done today and I loved it! I haven't gotten my nails done in years and they look great! They were courteous and professional. My nails look great and I plan on going again! read more

I've been to a lot of nail salons but this probably has the best service an atmosphere I've ever experienced. First, it's small so it's not all loud and crowded. The chairs are super comfy, they don't do acrylic nails so it smelled like fresh laundry, it was nice and cold from AC, soft music and they have an adorable pup who visits you as you walk in. Nancy and Thuy did my mani-pedi and they were both super professional and seemed like nice people. They both went out of their way to make sure my nails looked perfect and that I had a pleasant visit. I am used to my old salon where they didn't encourage cash tips so I made the mistake of not bringing cash, today for tip but they allowed me to include it on my card this one time. Just being cash for tip, make an appointment ahead (it's small so walk ins don't seem super likely to happen perfectly every time) and be prepared for a pretty great experience! read more

Lacquered Up - Gel mani with Twi - Nail Salons Near Me - Claremont, California

I am extremely careful with where I get my manis and pedis only because some places don't sanitize their tools properly. So I observed with Lacquered Up and the tools are sterilized in an autoclave and the tubs are used with a disposable liner. Files and buffers are used once every customers. My girlfriend and I are 100% sold. I am impressed with this salon. It is clean and everyone is kind, personable, and professional. We will never go anywhere else! Thank You Lacquered up for always making our experiences wonderful and relaxing. I have finally, finally, finally found a nail salon where my gf and I are 100% happy!!! read more
