After looking for good nail salons, this one kept getting referred to me and it lived up to the hype. I got my first acrylics and gel x here to prep for my wedding. They did my wedding and honeymoon nails as well. I book with Henry when I can because he's so sweet and knows what he's doing. The front desk woman is also so nice! The last time I was there she went searching through the salon for the color I wanted since it wasn't out on the main shelf. 100% recommend, this is the only nail place I'll be going to now. read more

A staple of mine for a while now. Kathy and her team do such great nails, the salon is always clean and they always honor their appointments. They are taking extra precaution right now during COVID. I feel totally safe. I'm happy to show my support to this small business. Thank you! read more

Update of previous review: The gel polish on four nails is now lifting. It's been only two days. Maybe I won't be back after all, this is the worst gel polish experience I have ever had. read more

Been coming here for awhile now and every time I come they have exceptional service. I always book an appointment with Henry for my acrylics and he never disappoints. I get my waxing done by Cathy and Tiffany, love them! Everyone is really friendly and overall I am always pleased with my experience when I come. read more

First time here for an acrylic fill. Kelly did a fabulous job and was very helpful in finding the color I wanted. Cathy was very friendly and accommodating in scheduling a same day appointment. I was very happy with the outcome of my nails and look forward to m6 next visit. read more

I've come to the general conclusion that the best manicures I'll ever receive will be from Grace at Peridot. I've trusted her for a long time to give me dip powder gel nails, and she truly never disappoints. For $45 for a full set, the cost can't be beat. She does an amazing job every single time! I always walk away incredibly happy, and feeling like I got coffee with an old friend. She invests time to getting to know you and how you like your nails done. She's truly remarkable! And she never complains when I can't select a nail color haha she's always more than willing to help! read more

I got the gel acrylics on my fingernails and they have remained perfect for over 2 weeks. It's a little extra for the gel but it is so worth it. Kelly did a great job on my nails. Here's a picture of my nails 2 weeks after I got them done! read more

I've been coming here for over a year. Hannah does the absolute best pedicure I've ever had. I ONLY see her now for pedicures. What is nice about this place is that its not only clean, the ladies are ALL friendly and they specialize. Meaning some ladies do only mani pedis and others who are good at full sets (acrylics, gels etc) do those. Which leads me to my photos. Jenny did my full set of acrylics. All I can say is WOW!! They are gorgeous and absolutely perfect!!! Yes they charge a little more than than the cheapo salons down the road. But they are VERY clean and honestly Hannahs pedis and Jennys full set are perfection and worth every penny. You get what you pay for!!! read more

This review is based only on the ongoing issues of scheduling. I've been coming here for at least 7 years and at least 4 of my friends come here and we've all recommended Peridot. However, the last 3 times I've went with an appointment, I always schedule an appointment, for Tammy to do my pedicure there's been an issue. The first two times scheduling issues it Tammy was running over from her previous appointment and so I graciously said that's alright and went with whomever was available. This last time, the 3rd, I had a 10am appointment with Tammy for my pedicure and I walk in and immediately see her starting a manicure. I check in with the front desk girl and she tells me that Tammy had a 9:45 that was scheduled but not put in the appointment book. She called Kathy, the owner, to tell her that Kathy didn't put the appointment in the books and that I was there. I also told her this is the 3rd time and I'm not accommodating it this time. None of the other customers were given ti someone else but I'm always the one who has to get whomever is available. It's unacceptable and I'm done. I know just about all the techs and the ones I do know are very good especially Nancy, Henry and Tammy. I do recommend them but after 7 ish years I'm done. I was loyal before and after the pandemic and I just don't think this is respectful to me as the customer. read more

Appointment beware!!!! Horrible experience. Went in with my mom and sister from out of town. Got their early for our appointments. Finally taken after being there an hour. My mom and sister waited a half hour just soaking their feet while others were taken right away right in front of us. Finally decided to leave when it didn't seem like my mom and sister weren't going to get served for another 1/2 hour. Disappointing to have family out of town and not get to have a girls nail experience. read more

New to the area and I looked on YELP to find a good place for a pedicure. First two places I tried had over a 45 min wait. When I called here it was only a 10 min wait so I headed over. The service was great and my toes and feet came out great. I will definitely be going back. read more

Peridot Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Monrovia, California

This is my second time coming here. Customer service is great. Greeted and accommodated fairly quickly as a walk-in customer. I got a gel manicure, gel pedicure and underarm wax done. Gel manicure: the main reason as to why I gave this review 3 stars is because my nails did not last more than a week before the top of the gel started to lift. Ended up removing the polish earlier than expected. Gel should last up to two weeks. Considering gel polish is a bit more pricey because it lasts longer than regular polish; one should expect to get what they are paying for. Gel pedicure: still going strong as most pedicures are. Underarm wax: the esthetician was very meticulous in her work. Took her time to get each strand that the wax couldn't remove. read more

This used to be my go-to nail place until they continually kept being late to my appointments. I always arrive to my appointment on time, and the nail tech would always begin my service 30/40 minutes after. Also, I'd get my eyebrows waxed here and the staff would always do a pretty good job. Until one person absolutely butchered my eyebrows... that was the last straw for me. Still giving three stars because Henry does a really good job on manicures! So if you must go, ask for Henry. read more

It was my first time here came in as a Walk-in and they accommodated me at 6pm(they close at 7pm)with no appointment, Cathy did my pedicure and I loved it. Will def. come back. read more

I have been to many nails salons around Monrovia and Peridot Nails is my favorite! I only gave it four stars because I did have a communication issue with Van and she seemed very rushed and cut me several times when doing my nails and I don't think she was aware. Also when I made my appointment I made it for a gel manicure but it wasn't told to Van and when I noticed that she was using regular nail polish I was to much in a hurry to correct her but when I did tell Cathy she offered a free gel polish to correct the mistake and I greatly appreciated it. I went back today and Cathy had Tonya do the gel polish and it looks great! I was really happy with her work! The only thing is that another lady came over and they just started talking to in Vietnamese to each other and got a little akward but I am happy with the job they did! read more

I was just a one day visitor to Arcadia for my universal trip and I was looking for a nail spot to just get a fill and when I say this place PERIDOT NAILS & SPA is the place to be OH YES!! Grace was the most sweetest person I have ever met at a nail salon. The owner her name slipped my mind but you'll know when you see her she is such a classy lady. The price for my gel nails on 35 bucks that's a perfect price that includes the fill as well. Thank you guys for fixing my nails to something spectacular! read more

I made an appointment for mani/pedi with my mom and this was our first time ever for this service. The place was clean and somewhat busy. Our manicures were average if not below average. The nail color was not completely painted onto the full nail, leaving gaps on the sides! Pedicures were also just average. They tried to upsell on scrubs and gel but only my mom got a scrub. My mom requested a re-do on one of her hands and I felt that the manicurist was getting irritated. She did it really quickly, even adding some kind of thinner into the bottle. It gooped up a little and wasn't much better than the first time. Then eventually we were asked to move out of our chairs so they could clean them and accommodate other customers. (But there were many other chairs available .. and our nails were still drying) So we awkwardly moved to the small table/chairs feeling out of place. When we paid, we expressed to the owner (I think she was the owner or manager) that we thought the service was just okay and we didn't like results. She did try to make jt up to us by offering a re-do at some other time or a discount and was concerned about making it right which I appreciate . We were pressed for time and it was going to be my wedding the next day so we didn't have the time nor did we feel comfortable coming again. I just accepted my average results and we left, and we will not be coming back. Overall we didn't feel welcomed and left feeling uncomfortable . I wonder why there are so many great reviews here (which is why I decided to try Peridot in the first place!) Also, days after the mani/pedi, my cuticle area was flaky and dry from the trimming! I do not have dry hands and have nice natural nails... and now my skin will have to repair from it. read more

I got dip nails done and they lasted only 4 days I contacted the business and they never even responded . What a waste of 70 dollars. Dip nails should last easily two weeks it was very disappointing I would suggest finding another salon read more

Peridot nails & spa is my absolute GO-TO!!!! I discovered this place about a year ago and I've been so happy with each visit I never left. Cathy is very welcoming to all of her guests and ALWAYS has the most wonderful suggestions. She is always wearing the newest peridot trend. The whole staff is friendly and welcoming. They take such good care of all of their guests and the place is very clean, relaxing and well kept. They have a vast selection of colors; perfect for any season, and there is always something new to offer at the front desk whether it be new embellishments or new colors. My go to person is Henry, he is the only male manicurist there and works MIRACLES. he's amazing. Does everything and pays attention to detail, as far as the rest of the staff, they're on point! Definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

Will be coming back and would definitely recommend it very clean as well. read more

Walked in on a Thursday afternoon and was seated within 5 minutes. The music was very calming. Grace did both my mani and pedi. She was absolutely wonderful. If I come back to the area, I will definitely come back and request Grace. read more

Such a peaceful nail salon! Bright and airy, great music, and smells so good (and not like nail polish chemicals). Was able to walk in on noon on Saturday. Got a very relaxing pedicure. She spent so much time massaging me... I almost fell asleep, I was so relaxed. She took great care with the polish and cuticle trimming, too. Will definitely come back here. Prices are very decent and are accurate to what's posted on their website. They also have a ton of magazines (current, too!) to read. Busy place, everyone very friendly and pleasant. read more

I love going here because everyone is so nice and the environment in the salon is very relaxing and clean. It is a little more expensive, but I think it's worth every penny. Their procedures are awesome for coronavirus. I've been going here for years and i'm never disappointed with my nails :) read more

Location is good, plenty of parking spaces. Salon is clean and spacious. My little sister and I both had mani/pedi. Spa pedi is one of the best I've had, however, cannot say the same about mani... we were worked on by 2 different nail artists for mani, but they made both of us bleed.. my little sisters nail/finger still had blood stains on the way out of salon.. I believe your experience is up to who u get, so if you must come here, don't get VICKY. I requested gel mani, after 2 coats, Polish was obviously unevenly distributed... there were even some air bubbles .. I took a closer look because it looked like a 5 year old had just painted them. I nicely asked if she would redo just one of the nails (obviously bumpy with air bubbles) because I felt bad to ask her to redo all of them. By then I figured she doesn't know how to paint nails.. so fixing one nail should've been easier than redoing all 10. She actually just ignored me and complained it was only 2 coats that's why it looks that way... um... right. So she went ahead and did 2 more coats , this is gel we're talking about. Total of 4 coats and 1 clear on top so 5 coats?! It was very unprofessional. Guess what, after a few hours the uneven distribution of gel was shown , darker/lighter shades and purple spots were shown the edges of the nails (polish was pink). I just went to another place to get them redone. This Vicky "nail artist" was a waste of our time and energy, I still tipped her for her time, but will never return again. read more

I came in today for a full set for the first time. I assumed this place would be a lot cleaner and had better quality products compared to the other place I go to normally because of their prices. Jenny helped me with a normal full set and to my surprise, she was pretty messy when gluing on the tips and pretty much everything else she did. Everything was rushed and she gave me attitude when I asked her to fix things. I showed her an image of what I wanted and all she did was glance quickly at it and said yes, oval shape. What she originally did was nothing like what I wanted... It was too pointy and I asked her to file it differently but from what I observed, she cut the corner edges too much to make it rounder like the image I wanted. My nails have no shape really when I look at it from The side. They just look like a flat line, not what a natural nail shape looks like with that curve. I'm pretty disappointed with the price I paid. The quality of the powder and liquid did not look very great; it had a nasty rottenish smell. Not happy with my service or with my nails. Not coming back. read more

Peridot Nails & Spa - Flat - Nail Salons Near Me - Monrovia, California

I am writing this review from the spa chair at Peridot Nails. I called ahead to make an appointment for myself and my adult daughter and was told they could accommodate both of us at 1:15. We waited for 15 min before being taken to a chair, which is reasonable, but what wasn't reasonable was the 30+ minutes they left my daughter sitting in water!! No one said anything to her or came to apologize for the wait. When finally an employee got to the chair, they acted like they had done her a favor!! The receptionist obviously over booked and due to that, I just got the fastest and least enjoyable pedicure I've ever experienced. Btw-it's now been 40 min since we sat down. My daughter is only just getting her pedicure started....grrrrrrrr. Oh and the "flower" on my big toe looks like a clump of weeds. Won't be coming back!!! read more

I came here about a week ago with my sisters and wasn't impressed. This place is pretty pricy which is fine when it's worth it but this place is not. It's $24 for a pedicure but I've had better at other places for half. They're trying to sell you with the bells and whistles of "we use clean tools every time" BUT I've been to other places that do that for way cheaper. You're mostly paying for the decor. The girl I had was completely incompetent. When I first sat down on the chair the water was too cold. I let her know and then it was too hot. Then about 15 minutes later when she needed to rinse my feet the water she sprayed my feet with was ice cold again. Then I asked her if she takes care of ingrown toenails. She said she could do it but for the past week my left toe has been in pain so clearly she didn't know what she was doing. Then the massage chairs were really uncomfortable. It was the most unrelaxing experience I've had recently. My sisters didn't have such an awful experience but even though they said they liked it, their faces kind of said otherwise. I wouldn't come back here. There are other nail salons that deliver a better experience. read more

My sister found this place as she was driving by. We decided to do a walkin because I desperately needed a pedicure. The environment is so welcoming and open. I like how it's not stuffy in here and no one looks nosey lol. It's open, clean, and the staff are so friendly. There's a lot of nail color options and the chairs are so comfortable. They still use the massage chairs For the pedicures- which I personally think is better than the new "clean" technique of using separate buckets. It's very comfortable, satisfying, and enjoyable. Pros: -airy, comfortable, welcoming environment -very friendly staff -comfortable seats -easy parking #winning -perfect amount of "noise"- not too quiet where you don't want to talk and not too loud/stuffy where you just want to get out! Can't wait to be back! Thank you Tiffany for my very cute pedicure! read more

I give it 3 because the family that runs the place is SOOOOOOO nice and the salon itself is cute and clean, but the actual finished product was just so so. I got a gel manicure and it chipped after a couple days (they are supposed to last 2 weeks!) and my pedicure chipped pretty early too. It was also pretty expensive, WAY to expensive for how short everything lasted. If you are just looking for a nice girls outing, the experience is pleasant, but I wont be coming here for a lasting manicure. read more

I always have excellent service with grace. She is very kind caring and passionate with her work that i haven't seen any of the artist. I very happy each time, I go to peridot nails. Grace get the job done and you get your money's worth on the services you get from grace.!! read more

Came here for the first time a couple weeks ago and I think I've found my new nail spot! I got a mani-pedi from Kim and the entire experience was great. Everything is clean, there's a good color selection, and everyone is so nice and accommodating. Kim noticed I had a huge mosquito bite on my ankle (that I was really embarrassed about because it made me have a cankle lol) and she put a warm towel on it to soothe it and stop the itching temporarily. :) So sweet! While I was getting my pedi I was taking advantage of that comfy massage chair too haha. I love nail spas that have massage chairs; it's the perfect way to relax and treat yoself, which is exactly what I came there to do haha. My nails looked great - everyone was complimenting them throughout the week. I really liked how Kim shaped them too. I asked for coffin shaped nails, showed her a picture, and she knew exactly what I meant. I'll definitely be back when I need to get my nails done! 5 stars for Peridot Nails! read more

Thank you, thank you for this little gem by my house! I'm almost hesitant to write a review because I'd like to keep it a secret, but they're too fabulous to keep it in! They have a HUGE selection of nail polish (OPI, Essie, China Glaze, etc)-all the good stuff! They have a massive selection of Gel colors as well. All of the manicurists are talented with their designs (whether using gel or regular polish) and extremely friendly and personable. This is not a salon where you're going to be sitting there the whole time wondering what they are saying to each other about you. Their manicures AND gel manicures are so well done they will last a long time! I had a gel manicure done before my Honeymoon in Thailand and I was SO impressed when I returned home 2.5 weeks later that it still looked AMAZING. Gel is suppose to last 2-3 weeks, and I knew that, but this was a special situation I was putting the gel on a test through. My nails had to stand up to daily sunscreen, salty ocean water, and 95% DEET insect repellant lotion...think toxic (which had a warning on the bottle that it was strip clothing of it's color so of course I was worried about my nails too!). I came home and was able to look through all of our pictures and my nails looked great our entire Honeymoon. It's a sign of their quality products they choose to use and their meticulous service they implement when applying it. The receptionist always offers coffee, tea, or water while I'm having my services done. There are two TVs that are on, but muted with closed captions on so you can pay attention to it if you'd like, or just relax and it won't be bothersome. The salon is not only immaculately clean, it's ADORABLE...even the bathroom! The first time I used their restroom I actually squealed to myself when I turned on the light because the walls are sparkly! The owners are two sisters, who are extremely friendly, and it is very obvious they care about the business they are running. There is even a ton of cute jewelry and scarves at the front desk, and I always end up making a purchase when I am leaving. It's too great of stuff to pass up! I had a nail salon that I was a regular at before trying Peridot, and I haven't been back to them in 2 years now since finding Peridot. They've won me over as a client for life! :) read more

No need to go anywhere else! Peridot is SUPER CLEAN & they do a fabuloso job! Have had my nails done by 4 different people there and all 4 are great manicurists. I especially like the owners, they are super nice and seem to really care about the happiness of the clients. Their prices are fair, not cheap - but not expensive a gel manicure will run u $30 - but it's worth every penny! Even when you go back for a polish change or a full manicure they don't just leave your fingers soaking there in a bowl. They actual take the time to remove the polish one by one carefully. I wont be going anywhere else for awhile! read more

Will be the only nail salon I'm going to from now on! All girls love beautiful nails, especially me. I have been soooo many different nail salons and I have to say, Petidot nail is the cleanest, most professional, most friendly, most artistic (and so on) ever. The artist Tiffany is so artistic, fun, friendly and professional. She taught me a lot about nail care, gel and so on. I remembered before when I went to other nail salons, I have to repeat myself and always watch just in case it will be messed up. But here at Peridot, I have no worries at all. I fully trusted their mani/pedicurist. Any design or color, they can help you pick up the best and that's exactly what you want. Also the pedicurist massage are so good! Clean is another thing I must mention. Everybody knows usually nail salon is not a clean place. I don't know if other girls have the same feeling as me but whenever I saw them using the reused file or sponge or other stuff, I always feel a little bit scared and chill. However, at Peridot, you can get the best care. They DON'T reuse their file or sponge so you feel 100% safe and satisfied. Not mention their beautiful shop and friendly stuff. My husband don't like to wait for me at any nail salon except this one. He really enjoyed seating on the couch drinking tea and wait for me because the whole salon is so clean, quite and the air smells really fresh to him all the time. Highly recommended you to try it so you'll know what I am talking about! read more
