    Full Set, Gel polish, Custom Design

    Dori was amazing , will never forget this wonderful experience and pampering, prettiest set I've ever had

    Acrylic full set with star and moon design on ring finger
    Nikki R.

    First time Pinkies client but will be back! Overall I feel like the nail techs care A LOT about the quality of their work and client satisfaction. I had chewed down my cuticles pretty badly and my nail tech was very careful when applying the acrylic and prepping the nail beds to not hurt them further. I LOVED the way my nails turned out, they're very natural and just the right length. I asked for a star and moon design and they used stickers to apply which made it super neat and precise. My pedicure was really luxurious, she gave me an excellent massage and left my legs feeling really smooth. They played r&b the whole time, super chill.

    Ombré nails by Vincent!
    Brea D.

    So happy to have found Pinkies today! Vincent gave me a beautiful gel ombré mani ($55) and I got a regular pedi from Candy ($25). Everyone was so sweet. The salon was quiet, and they brought me water. I will definitely be back!

    I've been coming to pinkies for years. Not consistent because I don't do my nails often but I'm never disappointed. Everyone is nice and is understanding when you ask to get your nails filed down more or want it a certain way. You'll have the best experience if you go in with a game plan and know what you want before stepping into the door. As far as appointments, I've never experienced making one. I always just do walk-ins on a day I'm more available to lounge around and run errands. It's a hit or miss with the how busy it can be.

    This was the second chance I have given this place.. I saw Jon first I was so excited as my friend got her nails done with him and they were amazing. To my dismay he was cold and quiet. And my nails didn't come out good. However I understand sometimes People have a bad day, so I figured I would give PINKIES another try with another technician, considering some of their great reviews. Dory has awesome reviews and when I sat in her chair I was again very happy. My nails were not painted to the cuticle. The sides of my nails were not painted.. I had to ask her to paint my nails.. I apologized for pointing out mistakes & I explained I am soon to be engaged which is why I would really love my nails to be photo ready.. These nails are not photo ready. It feels like this business only cares about getting people in and out. Quality is not included here. I would not recommend this nail salon to anyone ever. However I did call and request a refund and whoever answered the phone was very kind and understanding. And I really appreciated that.

    Came to this mail place since my usual place wasn't available. Overalll happy with my nails. The tech that did it was very meticulous and cared enough to make sure I was happy. He would ask if I was happy with the cut, the shape, the color, etc. Paid $55 for my gel-x set with removal of old set. Not sure how pricing works since they had it listed for $35+ but I didn't have a design or anything. Maybe the length? That's the only thing I was surprised about was the $20 up charge but I always get shy asking. Either way I'm happy to pay and support small biz. Just ask before your start so you know!:)

    Natural nails with gel one week later.

    I was hoping Pinkies would be my new go-to nail place because gel manicures are only $25! But I think their polish is old or not great quality because it just doesn't last long. I typically leave my gels on for a month. The first time I came, they started chipping in a week but then pretty much lasted the rest of the month. I gave them another try since the price was right and they have so many good reviews. The second time, half of them had chipped after 1 day. I went back and they redid the chipped ones for free, but a week later they were chipping again and after another week they were more than halfway off. They also scraped my nails pretty badly when removing my gels so my nails are not in a good state now. It doesn't feel very clean here as there's a ton of clutter.

    Exactly what I wanted

    Vincent is my favorite nail technician. He is always kind and provides quality work. I've been going here for years now. My local favorite.

    I came to get my nails filled + change of design and fix three broken nails. Before coming I had texted the number available and got a quote of 50-55$. I went yesterday and they were busy so they too our names and said they'd call us so we went back home however two hours go buy and no call back so we drove back and they had seated others and totally forgot to call us. Afterwards the lady who started on my nails DID NOT DELIVER. She started off by pushing me to get my nails off and start with new nails in order to achieve the look I wanted however she was gonna charge me 10$ more. I ended up taking her advice but once we got to the design she gave me these flame stick on things which was not what I wanted but when I told her I rather the be drawn she told me that would be extra because it would take her longer so basically she wanted to charge me for her time which doesn't make sense since that's already what I'm doing. This is disappointing especially because I asked prior to coming in and wasn't told all this until it was too late. I got these done just yesterday and today MY NAIL BROKE. (Pictured left) what I wanted (picture middle). What I came in with (picture right) Clearly I didn't get what I was told I would get.

I have heard mixed experienced from locals about Belmont Shore Spa and thought I would at least give it a try because the rates looked very affordable. I originally talked with Diane about a 90-minute deep tissue and at the time 60 was avail for the next day. I booked that for the next day and was told she would send verification to text and it was not received till next day (minor concern). But I got a nervous feel, and I was told many times CASH! That is no problem. Then what seemed like a nice shift.. I was informed Lynn could take me for 90 minutes if I came by right away. And I asked fee and was told $100 cash which is also listed on the website. Great .. easy . I grabbed a $100 and was out the door. Parking was horrible though and I had to walk literally 4 blocks. Upon arriving Diane was friendly and introduced me to Lynn who seemed tense, and non-communicative. I wasn't expecting just curtains and no private rooms which felt mediocre to me but I understand this type of set up is often customary. I undressed and ask Lynn to please use just coconut oil. The massage was incredibly rough and I had to say a few times to go lighter. The experience was horrible.. tense, then she got on top of me and straddled my body digging in. This felt incredibly uncomfortable though I know this is done in some traditions. But it felt unprofessional. To me there is no need to straddle someone on the table. I wondered if this was some Thai sex massage parlor, it made me uncomfortable. When I tried to talk about what I needed and what to do she shushed me for talking. This made me even more uncomfortable- Though some areas of my body did feel looser after the massage. That night I had horrible pain and felt worse. Now I have had massages for over 40 years and NEVER once had this kind of reaction. I still have burning in my shoulder and felt she caused injury. To make matters worse then I went to pay $100 which I was told and she said it was $105. Luckily I had atm which sometimes when paying cash I don't bring ATM. . So felt extremely tacky to atm me for $5. Next I was never asked by Lynn or Dianne if I would like to leave a tip. AND TIPPING IS OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!! Hassling customers for tips is simply unprofessional .. HINT Customers will WANT to tip for exceptional care and service. Before I left I asked some other questions to find Lynn for example is there 9-6 M-F Like seriously? I get it now. This is a sweatshop slumlord style operation where they overwork their massage therapists and probably pay them little. Instead of basic business skills. Then I'm on the Freeway about 15 minutes later and receive a call from Dianne asking where is the tip? Are you serious? How stressful, tacky, unprofessional and just rude. .. Completely unprofessional, miscommunication, misrepresentation on website of fees. SO yes this is one of the cheapest spots in 90803 area code but now I know why. If you want a cheap massage this is your place ===customer beware! I have now talked to two other neighbors that had horrible experiences at this location. This review is on Diane and what I experienced, and the painful and unfriendly massage I had with Lynn. Won't be back, and will tell my friends, to stay away in droves.

Thank GOD for the special because they are a bit pricey, imo but it is worth the coins. Arrived early and was able to get a tour by the receptionist (didn't get her name) showed me around everything was clean, well organized and a vibe. My service was compression therapy with Camille and apparently I'm a G (self-titled) because I was told after my session that most first timers are recommended to get 45 mins -- mine was 1hr.

    Tried to get a clear image of my nails, sorry if it is slightly out of focus…read more For my review, I liked a couple things and I didn't like a couple things. 1. I wish their hours were a bit longer. For example they are open normally 10-7pm. I am a morning person so I would have wanted to come in before 10am. Also I wanted to originally go in after work on Friday, but by the time I would have gotten home + got ready to go to the salon it wouldn't have been enough time for my service and they'd be closed. 2. During my actual service my nail tech for my manicure was a bit late. This didn't really bother me until the end when her next client was waiting and I felt like she was rushing. She did give a great hand massage though. 3. I also noticed I think the manager or owner talk to the other clients while on the spa chairs - but not me, even though I'd been there since opening. Not a big deal but I wanted to be included haha 4. The actual manicure was sloppy, not sure if you can see in the pictures but the polish in person isn't evenly layered where you can see gaps in the opacity. And then the polish is going over the edges and on top of my cuticle which is a big no - no. I noticed my cuticles aren't even pushed back. There's also debris? And markings underneath my polish and that was like that in the salon after she did it so I know that wasn't me after. These photos are taken the day after. I also got a pedicure but those are a bit harder to inspect. Although they look nice. 5. For the price of $99 + $10 tip to each nail tech = $119 I am not sure if it was worth it for being sloppy. For this quality of manicure I could have probably done it at home and save the money for another salon. I also inquired about acrylic and dip powder to find out that they don't do acrylic which was shocking that a nail salon doesn't do acrylic nails? And the technician who does dip powder was not in that day - to which I would think you had have at least one on duty the whole time especially on a weekend. 6. I did like that they take apple pay and the ease to pay with my phone. And they did say it would take an hour - which it did thankfully. I think everything considered it's probably a strong 3/5. In this economy I would really only like to spend my money at places I absolutely love. P.s. they have a no show/cancellation policy that charges you so I'd be weary giving them your cc info to have on file. I am big on not wasting people's time but 24 hour notice isn't always possible with emergencies. I would prefer a policy like 2-4 hours ahead of time - they also do open later at 10am so hoping that is not counted against the customer.
