UPDATE: I was looking for a person who could do a great job with the latest craze ... cat eye. I found someone .. Alex ! She did a fantastic job ! I LOV love LOVEeeeee my nails ! read more

This was my first time visiting here and I live in the area. I came in and every technician was busy. They had me wait as a walk in for only about 5-10 mins. There were some ups and down of my visit. I like how they got me in quickly. When I got sat down they had me soak off my gel-x set. But when they did this they put acetone in an extremely hot bowl. So hot I could barely hold my nails in the acetone. The bowl was so hot they brought it over with an oven mitt. (Never experienced this before at any other nail salon) Once my old set was removed after that everything was smooth. She added the new set quickly and was fast with the gel. The other negative was I left the salon and there is a lot of extra glue under my nails. Also my fingers were covered in buildup from soaking my nails in the acetone. I had to go home and scrub my hands a few times to get it off. Overall not a bad turn out just not a very pleasant experience. Price was great through - I paid $65 in total for a removal and new set! I would recommend setting an appointment due to how busy they get. read more

Modern Nails & Spa - Gel X Set - Nail Salons Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Just come here! This place is so low key unassuming on the outside, you would never guess that inside it's 100% A+ and then some. Outstanding pedis, great massage, and the manicurists are exceptionally kind. I loved my paragon wax, hot stones... lots of bells and whistles like the water lights up, and they add flowers if you choose the fancy treatment. There's a lot of love put into everything. Much appreciated. read more

Would be a 1 star review but my cousin received nice service. Mine however was offensive. In the lobby, I talked with the Manager to share a heads up that I was born with a small foot. Asked if she has someone kind who can help pedicure adult foot and small disfigured foot. More respect if Manager just said no but instead she put me with one who said she'd only do one of my feet. When I said no and that I'd spoken with Manager, she walked off. They talked, then Manager came over to do a rush job - barely any effort on small foot, hella distracted by interactions with employees. Suggestion: next customer like me, either Do Better or allow them to save their time & money. It's called "compassion" and I've found it elsewhere but not here. Update: since the owner has replied saying there's no record/memory of this service, please allow me to provide a pic of what's known as a receipt. read more

We found this salon through a Google search -- and we're so glad we did! Having had manicures and pedicures for decades, I know what to look for and what to expect, and this experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was outstanding. Our team -- Na, Millie, and Lexi -- performed two pedicures and one manicure, and we'll definitely be requesting this amazing trio again. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. A special shout-out to the gentleman who greeted us upon arrival and to the salon manager for fostering such a warm, professional atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back -- and the champagne was a lovely touch too! read more

Looove coming to get my nail done here :), thank you so much to Lexi and Kylie, and all the staff, everyone is always so welcoming. Lexi has done my nails in the past 4 times I've gotten them done. She is so sweet and very very attentive, and her work is *chef kiss* thank you so so much :) read more

I wasn't going to leave a review, but the lack of professionalism the staff has when it comes to having something adjusted or fixed, starting with Kylie, who I first called to see if I could come in to get two of my nails lengths redone and shaped and was barely even responding back. She then said, why didn't I let Chloe know before. However, Chloe kept on saying if I went shorter, she wouldn't be able to do the designs, which is not true since I've seen these designs on shorter nails, so I just left it at that. Until I got home two of my nails kept getting in the way when I was typing. Chloe seemed mad and rude that I came in to get my nails redone. I then asked her if she was able to add more pink to the flower design since it was barely noticeable and didn't match the color in the photo like I wanted it she then refused to do it and said she would have to remove the flower, which again not true; she could've easily painted it. Especially if I'm paying $90 for these nails, they should be done the way I like it. I then get home and notice how some of my nails are crooked, and no it's not my nail since I've always had them done and never had this problem. I also notice lint I'm not sure what it is stuck to my nails and air bubbles. I don't think these nails are worth this price, especially from this poorly done job. They need to learn how to handle these situations more nicely and professional. read more

MY COMPLAINT: 1.) POOR PROPER COMMUNICATION FROM "SALLY". She told me to "PAY 1st" w/o explanation when my service was not finished. (Regular manicure). Nails salons usually finish my service 1st & dry my regular mani/pedi then pay after. 2.) BEING LAUGHED AT BY SALLY FROM HER TABLE FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY I HAD TO "PAY 1ST" WHEN THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION. 3.) UNNECESSARY COMMENT FROM AN ELDERLY PERSON TOWARDS ME TELLING ME "ITS YOUR CHARACTER" AFTER ANOTHER EMPLOYEE FINALLY EXPLAINS WHY I PAY 1ST BEFORE FINISHING MY SERVICE. Wow, I didn't know I am foul for not understanding why this nail salon made me PAY 1st WITHOUT FINISHING MY SERVICE??! I'm not surprised though, my mom is 76 yrs. old so certain elderly people give me bad energy due to their untreated generational trauma. So since this nail salon has poor communication, I will help out "CUSTOMERS: If you get regular manicure, they make you to PAY 1ST BEFORE COMPLETING SERVICE. Reason behind it is so you don't ruin your manicure after." See, that's not difficult to explain, right? My 1st time here today 01/14/2026 at 3pm. Last time. Embarrassing, offensive, & lack of proper communication from staff "Sally". Also, my pedi water was HOT but that's the least of my complaint. Sally, fyi make sure you check water temperature & learn proper communication. read more

This is my favorite nail salon in the valley. I've gone to somebody different every time, but it is always a good experience. The amenities offered are amazing, always a nice relaxed, vibe, and complementary drinks. One time my gel peeled off a few days after and they had absolutely no problem redoing it for me. Rewards system connected to your number too which is ALWAYS appreciated read more

I'm trying to stay away from heavy chemicals in plosh and gels. I bring my own polish for pedicure and healing clear polish for manicure. I have several requests for my mani/Pedi and Na executed my instructions quickly and professionally and with a smile. Lovely person, nice salon, everyone was very personable. Made for a happy day. read more

I absolutely love this place. It's so relaxing and I always leave happy with my nails.I highly recommend it. My beautiful Halloween nails were done by Chole and my previous set were done by Kylie and they both did such an amazing job. read more

Today I finally found my go-to salon while in the greater Palm Springs area for the next couple months. This was my third (1. Dancing Queen, Palm Springs 2. Diamond, Palm Dessert) salon to try out since getting to Palm Springs in early February. I wished I would have found them first. Today Lexi gave me a perfect set of dip powder nails. I will continue to book with her until I have to leave this beautiful area at the end of April. From someone who must find salons all over the country due to my job, I HIGHLY recommend this salon if you are in the greater Palm Springs area. Thank you again Lexi!! read more

We visited Modern Nail Spa in Palm Springs as a family -- my husband, our two daughters, and I -- and had a wonderful experience! Everyone there was so kind, welcoming, and did an excellent job with our nail care. We were all very happy with the results and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended! read more

Cindy and Mimi were fantastic! Absolute perfection in their work. Such attention to detail! Everybody in the salon was so kind. I thought I had paid, but I had just left my card on the armrest of the chair and when she returned with an itemized receipt, I wasn't paying attention and I assumed I was all set. It wasn't until I got to my car that I realized I hadn't paid, and the ladies were so incredibly understanding! They made an embarrassing situation as mellow as could be! Thank you, modern nails, for an excellent job and a very kind attitude :)!! read more

First visit and selected this shop based on their 4.5 star Yelp reviews, and the fact that they're only 5 minutes from home. The inside was very clean, and the technicians all wore masks. The spa chairs were in great shape and the massage features worked well. Parking is easy in the large shopping center lot. SERVICE: My wife loved her spa technician, but unfortunately, my experience wasn't as good. I need someone that can work on sensitive toenails, as my big toes usually have issues that require a little more attention. The young lady that worked with me performed a basic pedicure, but wasn't able to alleviate the sensitive nail issue on my left big toe. When I said something at the end of the pedicure, she tried again, but wasn't able to get it. Ty, who I'm guessing is the manager, came over and was able to take care of it within a couple minutes. Another comment, the leg massage for both men/women is the same, 3 minutes. However, women receive extra time due to the painting of the nails. I would think that they could spend a few more minutes on the leg massage for the men who don't get their nails colored. Now, as I stated above, my wife raved about Tiffany, the young lady that worked on her feet and hands. In the end, I left satisfied, but not sure about a return visit. Perhaps, I will try again making an appointment with Tiffany or Ty. NOTE: We both received "menus" listing the various services, however mine had different prices than my wife's, for the same services. I'm guessing that mine was outdated, but still being passed around. RESPONSE TO OWNER: Thank you, Mai T., for your response to my review. I do understand that there are different levels of services, and I got the Basic Spa Pedicure. My comment was based on men/women who also get the Basic Spa Pedicure. Those that choose to have their nails painted, have extra time with their pedicurist. Since I don't have my nails painted, I thought that perhaps a few extra minutes of leg/foot massage would make up for the lack of nail painting. Just a thought. Overall, I felt that the shop was nice, and I would give it another try, especially if I could make an appointment with Tiffany. read more
