I love my Modern Nails! Great work, kind and welcoming, doesn't over-charge like most places do. Highly recommend!

I had an appointment at 4 to get my nails removed. I got there in time and I sat there waiting for 25 minutes. When they took my nails off, she basically ripped them off with a nail tip now my nails are super thin and scratchy. I paid $17 for something I could've done at my house for free. I don't recommend getting your nails off here. Wish I could give no stars. read more

If I could give 0 I would. Do NOT go here! I took my daughter & two of her friends here for my daughters birthday. The prices of nails are ridiculous, but on top of that they did a horrible job, my daughters friend was cut multiple times and her work was so sloppy. To make this whole experience worse they double charged me, so $1000 missing from my account! Not even including the cash tips I gave! When talking to them about the double charge and when I'll get that back, they kept changing the amount of days! When I asked them is there anything they can do on their part like a service compensation or even a discount for next service since that's a lot of money taken from me, they said no! Told me that I can just wait until the money goes back into my account! Horrible customer service and horrible work! And don't let the owners comment fool you, the day of these charges they told me I would get my money back instantly! Then next day still nothing, and two days pass I call them to let them know still no refund! Then that's when they start changing the amount of days! So do not go here, as you can see the owner showed their ignorance and showed they do not care about double charging customers. read more

Me and my mom walked in and my mom sat down to do a fill, I go in the empty seat next to her and the nail lady asked me what service I wanted, so I asked her what's the price difference between regular gel manicure and full set she began showing me prices and me and my mom was talking it over since my mom is the one that was going to be paying for me we both agree that I should just get a full set. The nail lady gets impatient between me and my mother having a 1 min conversation over prices and LIES US THAT SHE CANNOT DO MY NAILS BECAUSE "she has an appointment with another lady coming anytime" we then proceed to ask the other lady that is currently doing my moms hands if she was free to do my nails too and she made the same excuse. if you had no time why when I walked in you had asked me what service I wanted? They then begin to roll they're eyes and sighing at my mother just because she her to square her nails a little more. Very unprofessional, very racist against us and FULL of attitude. Doing your nails is supposed to be a nice relaxing experience NOT THIS. I will never come here again I cannot believe they treated us this way. If u want a positive friendly experience I highly suggest you do not come here unless you are white they might treat you accordingly read more

Very clean, friendly staff. Kim was amazing. Very accommodating. My husband and I got pedicures. We will definitely be back.

Do not come here! My 1st time and i will NEVER return. Only day 2 and 3 nails have chipped. read more

I would not chance this salon again. I walked in for a regular manicure. Brought my own polish. I was given to a male tech who was not good. First he was heavy handed and trimmed my cuticles and skin around my nail aggressively. Then he cut my natural nails so uneven the tech next to him noticed and try to help him. At this point I was scared to see how he painted nails and just said I was done and would pay and leave. The receptionist at the front asked how my service was and I said it was not great. Showed him my nails and said I just wanted to pay and leave. The owner was standing next to him and they both wanted to make it right. So the owner took me to her station and completely redid my nails and they turned out beautiful. She said next time I am unhappy please let them know and that they would love to make it right. If I had had this service to begin with I would have been giving a great review. But for the initial service and time wasted, I would not recommend going here. I don't know how it works, but it's not worth taking a chance. read more

They begin services and then change the price beware. I have been a customer for some time now and I will not be coming back. Near 70 for a fill with no design. My daughter is leaving unhappy read more

Don't come here idk what they did to my natural nails but multiple of my nails (thumbs and middle finger )there splitting in half. All I got was gel on my nails and they don't do there work that well. I went to get my thumb re done because that was the only one that was about to break at the time and the lady who did mine did half assed work on it which is ridiculous. Don't waste your money or time at either locations. The shapes of my nails are also not even the same size some are almond shape, pointy, and some are even cut not even the same my pinky's are both different sizes. It's literally a waste of money. read more

I've been coming here for years.my usual go to lady is no longer here which is unfortunate , but for convenience I decided to try out another lady.

Made an appointment and was very clear that it needed to be on time. 15 minutes after my apartment was shredded for, I walked out. Asked for the mandatory $10.00 deposit back and they are holding my money for 2-3 business days. RUDE! Don't waste your time with them! read more

Michelle was amazing! I have to say I'm a very picky person when it comes to my nails because I hardly ever get them done but she did exactly what I asked for! I will definitely be sticking with her and modern nails from now on. Thank you! read more

If I could rate their customer service alone it would be zero stars. Today is my birthday and the one thing I wanted to do for myself was get my nails done, on my end on their tablet I scheduled a pedi and full set. The lady at the desk hands me my receipt that says FULL SET. I sit in the chair and they're doing my toes and the whole time I'm wondering when they'll start on my hands. They finish, and I ask, should I just go back in the waiting room and wait for my hands. Everyone looks confused and they confront the lady at the desk saying, she getting a full set too. The lady at the desk said, we won't have an appointment for another two hours, I'm upset, whatever, I was going to wait. I was still in the waiting room and the lady at the front desk sees my dad and says "she right over there" that caught me off guard a little bit, then my dad and I are having our own private conversation and he asked me "what happened" I told them they didn't schedule for a full set" and the lady at the desk ONCE AGAIN inserts herself in my conversation with my dad trying to argue with me. on my end i scheduled for both. The slip she handed me said full set. She kept trying to argue with me over something she inserted her self into. I never once addressed her. Horrible service. Rude. The nail technicians themselves are very polite and professional, I can't say the same about the lady at the front desk. read more

My granddaughters and I went in with an appointment and it took forever for one of my granddaughters to get started. Finally I think the owner( the pregnant lady) star her and rushed her through. Her nails looked bad. I don't know why they make appointments. Not to mention I spent a pretty penny and good tips. I'm going back to Victoria Nails. read more

Terrible service Don't waste your money Super rude staff and terrible job I wish I would have known this before stepping in I am so disappointed they should shut down read more

I wanted to take my mom out for a mani-pedi for mother's day. I called to schedule an appointment and they asked for a credit card 10$ deposit. I should've known better. We went to our appointment and they took us pretty quickly. 2 men worked on my mom and I got 2 women. One of the women sat and talked angrily in her home language the whole time. I wanted to relax. I have NEVER had gel polish chip on me. I have 4 fingers with chipped polish and have to get them redone already. I paid about 300$ including tips. Not worth the time or price. read more

I've been going here for over 3 years now and Nee has always taken care of my feet! Tina is also awesome and even went above and beyond for me when I needed my nails done last minute before a vacation; they close at 7 but she made sure I was finished before they left for the day. Nee has gone out of her way to make me feel comfortable and always does such a great job. Her massages feel amazing, and I never have to worry about asking her to change something because she is so kind. This location really wants their customers to love their nails and they do a very good job. Their customer service is also amazing, Nee knew me, my sister, and my best friend's name all by the second time we went in. Our conversations are great and we even giggle from time to time when her accents gets the best of her. This salon isn't like normal salons because they are always trying to include you in conversations. I recommend all my friends here and want everyone to know how amazing and stress free my nail trips are! read more

Called to make an appointment found out Aj and Christina were both gone, not my place to discuss what came about and they left but from what I'm hearing it was ran pretty bad. Currently they are at Lees nails at Yucaipa Blvd. so glad I found where they went read more

i got regular polish because i don't like the UV rays for gel. Anyways, my polish didn't even last a day. They have cheap clear polish which resulted in my nails looking like this. Went in a couple of days after my appointment to get new polish & they tried to tell me it must have been something i did? So they're not gonna take responsibility & act like it's your fault. Not coming ever again. Try a home nail tech they're much better. read more

Modern Nails & Spas - $120 for this set. Wow. I was ripped off. - Nail Salons Near Me - Calimesa, California

They did a great job on my nails, a little pricey, didn't disclose cost, charged me for a pedicure that was not the basic cost, nor what I asked for, but overall, very happy with the experience. I ask though, if a customer has an appointment, and you charge a deposit for that appointment, please honor that appointment as we honored paying the deposit. We waited over 30 minutes passed our appointment time. The place is professional, not a bunch of chatter between technicians, and most speak very good English and are understandable. My toes and nails [dipped] are the best I've had them. I probably over tipped, of which I won't do ever again. It's hard to find a nail place that ticks all the boxes. This place is good, but not great, I'll keep checking out other salons. The appointment/deposit thing bothers me. I go to a place in WA that offers water or soda, juice for kids and are always polite, while being reasonable in pricing. Wish they would franchise and bring one down here. read more

My wife and youngest son recommended this nail salon, since my regular nail salon is still closed decided to give it a chance. Glad I came in my feet needed it ;) The place is nice inside. Clean and orderly. Covid safety material is up and staff wears mask and practices social distance. Friendly counter staff. Vivian was friendly and professional. Massage chair has many settings and in working order. I will definitely be back :) read more

Terrible service, over priced, they cut corners, they don't nip the old product back. They use glue instead Evan 3/4 of nail is lifting off the nail bed then after a few days the glue breaks down & you get fungus !!! And they charge for every little thing !!! ( like soaking off gel polish then separate charge to apply gel polish or cut back nails or another charge for length of nails !!! When you try to explain what's going on with issue of application of nails, they won't take responsibility for their uneducated nail techs ! ( most aren't properly licensed either ! One admitted to me she learned from U tube !!! Tried a few times & my funguses continuously got worse !!! My nails where thick & lumpy !!! the polish was uneven, thick at the cuticles !!!! I went back as soon as I could to explain to them what the issue was with a new girl that was obviously not very experienced and yet the manager would not redo my nails after about eight days they're already breaking peeling off will not go back !!!! Do NOT recommend this place !!!!! read more

I called to see if there was any availability late on a Sunday afternoon and immediately I was told to come on in and they would see me right away. When I arrived I was kindly given a selection to choose from in regards to gel options. Christina did my pedicure and she was meticulous with each step. We chatted about life and I greatly enjoyed the massage, callous removal, hot stone and towel therapy. Overall wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning. Thank you guys ! read more

I went to Modern Nail Salon for a basic mani/pedi. The gentleman who greeted me and seated me was friendly and professional. The technician assigned to me seemed upset when she learned that I had opted not to get gel and just wanted the basic manicure and pedicure. As this technician began my pedicure, she seemed distracted and far more interested in her conversations with other technicians than what she was doing. As she began the manicure, she was cutting quickly and aggressively, often looking up and around as she cut, causing her to cut me two times, the second being a deep cut of the flesh. Note that the direction of the cut was inconsistent with the direction of the nail bed. It is a straight downward cut. Insult to literal injury, the manicurist (the person who had also performed the pedicure) thought she was entitled to a monetary tip and tried to plead her case that she was entitled to a tip because she had apologized for cutting me. Absolute madness. I am the first to tip minimally 20%. When incompetence causes harm, it is insane to expect to be compensated monetarily. Sadly, I did not have the presence of mind to get the manicurist's name. I did, however, take note that she was Asian and about 50-ish. She was the younger of two older manicurists. Think twice before allowing strangers to use sharp objects that could break the skin on you. I would avoid Modern Nail Salon at all cost. Hopefully they will better vet their manicurists in the future. The technician I saw Saturday, September 23, 2023, was incompetent, at best; having serious mental health issues, at worst. Whatever the cause of her cutting my flesh, she ought not be near vulnerable people and in possession of sharp objects. read more

Great nails, but MAN do they nickel and dime you to death. I usually pay $30-35 for the nails I expected, they wanted to charge me $60! So extra charge for 2 different colors, extra charge for Matte, extra EXTRA UP charge for marble, they wanted $15 extra!!!! And then to top it off... extra charge to use your card. Nice spot, but there are too many other ones out there that don't Charge you for EVERYTHING. I'm surprised they didn't charge me for sitting in their seat. read more

I have never left a bad review for any type of business but this place certainly deserves it. This is for the location on Cherry Valley Boulevard. I had a 10 o'clock appointment that I paid a $10 deposit for. Got a text verifying the 10 o'clock appointment 30 minutes before the actual appointment time. Walked in at 10 AM only to be told that the nail tech wouldn't be there today until this afternoon. They insisted they had called me but there was no call no text cancelling and I had just gotten a text to verify my appointment 30 minutes prior to my arrival. I asked if somebody else could do my nails but they told me everybody was booked up. This would have been my fourth visit to the salon and they have never been on time, sometimes up to 45 minutes late. Overall very poor customer service. I won't be back. read more

I came here today due to needing a nail Repaired and wanting a full set. I ended up getting a fill Instead but very disappointed in the nail job that was done. I asked for rose gold dipping powder similar to what I previously had done and also to pair it with a crystal dipping powder to make it more sparkling. Instead the powder was poorly placed on and not fully covered, open spaces missing the glitter powder. My nails have lumps and the color is a dull pink. Not at all What I requested. I usually don't give bad ratings and tip very well But.... now I'm going to have to get my nails redone to fix this disaster. It was placed uneven on all my nails. read more

Went from spending hundreds here for my multiple people to no more business at all, the ladies up front make fun of people, made homophobic jokes about me in front of my best friend. When I approached the manager he didn't care at all and said he will review it on camera though they were whispering and behind the cameras, ALL TO JUST WALK OUT WITH THIS NEW FULL SET. (I didn't say anything about my nails) I just paid and left because these pictures are all you need to know. Gave me the best laughter I had of 2021. My nails look like I walked up into a retirement home to volunteer and a Parkinson's patient went and did my nails. I know you ladies did this on purpose. Not nice. This place has bad manners, discriminative, and terrible. read more

Great pedicure from Johnny . He didn't hurt me at all! A pleasant atmosphere in the shop.

This place has two locations, and I went to the one off of Cherry Valley Boulevard. It is extremely expensive, sadly. It was $98 for a gel manicure and pedicure. I didn't get anything extra at all. The pedicure was so fast. There was some hot towels and some warm lotion put on. I got the pedicure that was $40 with gel. It was not relaxing at all and was very rushed. For the prices that are charged, you would think a little more time would be spent on these services. I will be going elsewhere from now on. The workers are nice and the location is beautiful, but that is it. read more

I went and got acrylics done for $80 and they were beautiful did a great job there and I left a nice tip on top of the charge already. I went back today because I had to get them off for work, I had already trimmed them down they were Stubbs and just needed to be taken off without damaging my nails further. I asked for them to be taken off, was not told a price before hand, and I sit down while the guy rips my nails off with a separate nail. It hurt. I said ow numerous times and he told me to just hang on. He proceeded to rip off all my nails, and then I washed my hands. Whole thing didn't even take 5 minutes. I assume it's going to be maybe $5 so I stop at the receptionist and she says it'll be $20. I ask what I am paying $20 for he just ripped off my nails. And she said that's the charge for acrylic removal I paid $20 for a guy to rip off my acrylics and damage my nails more than the acrylics already do. I called when I got home because I am still upset about it and I explain what happened and the receptionist again said, that is just what we charge. For what?? Not even 5 minutes and one extra nail for him to hurt my hands? I told her I could've done that myself. Not even an apology or any sort of trying to help just a that's what we charge. I would recommend just ripping the nails off yourself instead of paying someone $20 to do it and damage your nails worse. Do not recommend and customer service is not good read more

My wife my mother in law and myself went here to get manicures and Pedicures because were going on a cruise the next day. This was on Friday (September 16 2022@ 10am) The very next day Saturday (September 17th 2022) her nail polish chipped off on two fingers and one toe. Also The ladies who were doing my hands and feet both started talking in there native language like I wasn't there the whole time of my service making me very uncomfortable. I feel that was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional. Needless to say we will not patronize this business and If your looking for a place to get your nails done, I would say don't waste your money or time at this place. We spent over $220 between the three of us and It was a terrible experience all the way around. read more

I'm new to the area and was searching for a nail salon. I came in with no appointment and asked for an acrylic overlay with gel and a regular pedicure. The lady that greeted me rolled her eyes that I was asking for that (like it was an inconvenience) I waited 30minutes to be seen, which is expected because I didn't have an appointment. I wouldn't care but there was 2 other associates playing on their phones until 20 minutes after I was seen.. . The girl who finally called me over, again asked what I wanted and continued to try to talk me into other services (so bad like she was going to be disciplined for not cross selling) The WHOLE TIME I GOT MY SERVICES, ALL OF THE WORKERS WERE SNICKERING AND GOSSIPING IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE!! I could tell, all of us English speaking clients were uncomfortable!! my pedicure did not even come with a 1 minute scrub or softener to get the dead skin off (not even the generic cuticle remover) I'm never coming back!!! Oh and when I paid (I'm use to la where everyone has free debit machine charges) they threw a fit that I didn't have cash (this is 2018) ***i have attached the response I got in the photos.... PS I did not ask for dipping powder. read more
