    Nancy S.

    DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR "HAPPY HOUR", DO NOT TRY TO SAVE MONEY HERE! I decided to give this salon a try because of their Happy Hour special ($25 gel manicure and $20 pedicure), but unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing. The biggest issue for me was sanitation. As someone who takes cleanliness seriously, especially when trying a new salon, I brought a brand-new cuticle trimmer and my own personal nail kit that was still sealed in its original packaging. I only asked the technician to use it after I observed him preparing to use tools that appeared to have just been used on the customer immediately before me. The service itself felt extremely rushed. I had gone in with my mom and we were both going to get the same thing, yet while she was still receiving her pedicure, the technician had already completed BOTH my pedicure and manicure. I had not had my nails done in 3-4 months, so there was plenty of cuticle and nail maintenance that needed attention. Instead, he barely touched my cuticles, did not properly shape or file my nails straight, and made no effort to trim or clean them up. The polish application was sloppy, uneven, and looked rushed. To make matters worse, he accidentally messed up my thumbnail while applying the top coat. Rather than properly fixing it, he simply painted over the damaged area and sent me on my way. When I politely expressed my concerns, another employee dismissed them and claimed my cuticle trimmer was "old," even though the technician had opened it from its sealed packaging himself. When I explained that my concern was sanitation and that I had seen tools being reused between customers, my concerns were brushed aside. The technician's attempt to "fix" the manicure only made it look worse. As if that wasn't enough, I nearly slipped on a puddle of water on the floor while leaving. Only after I almost fell did staff warn me to be careful. A wet floor in a customer area is a serious safety hazard and should not have been left unattended. I own a business myself and understand that mistakes happen. I remained polite throughout the entire visit and simply expected basic cleanliness, quality workmanship, and professional customer service. Instead, I felt rushed, dismissed, and disappointed. If sanitation, customer service, and quality matter to you, I would strongly recommend spending your money elsewhere.

    I'm honestly so disappointed with my experience here. I came in really looking forward to getting a gel builder manicure, but the service I received felt rushed and careless from the start. The technician barely paid attention to what he was doing, and when he said my nails were "finished," I immediately noticed that the sides of several nails weren't even covered with polish. It was disheartening to point it out and have him simply buff the surface and add one quick coat instead of actually fixing the issue. What upset me even more was that just three days later, the gel on my right thumb peeled off completely in one piece. After spending money and trusting a professional, this was extremely frustrating and honestly made me feel like my time and expectations didn't matter. I left feeling let down, and unfortunately, I won't be returning.

    Dip.....
    Tiffany G.

    I came in as a walk in when the shop had techs without customers and yet when the lady started on my dip she was very rushed and like another review said, minimal prep... dip in less than 30 mins. Okay efficiency but the quality didn't follow. Didn't even realize she was done, until she got up and left. I looked at my nails and told her it doesn't look right on the edges (lack of filing and uneven dip technique), she then came over and filed one nail of many and said it'll wash off. Waited a few days, It didn't... I liked my gel pedi, short service compared to other salons but his work was great. Maybe you'll have a better experience but I will not be back.

    I've come here twice now for their amazing gelx prices. Compared to other places, the quality and swiftness of the service exceeds everywhere else. I've only gotten simple designs so far, and from my experience, it only takes max 40 minutes for them to be done. The only downside is that there's no extensive cuticle prep, but I personally don't mind considering how quick and efficient they are. My sets have lasted for up to 4 weeks, with little to no lifting! The nails are quite strong and sturdy as well. Definitely check them out if you can, because it's worth it. Make sure to have an appointment so they can prioritize you because they get quite a lot of walk-ins.

    End of the nail shop
    May R.

    I decided to try this nail salon because it had great reviews and nice photos online, but my experience was very different. The location is next to a smoke shop, and when I first walked in, there was an unpleasant smell...almost like urine or an old nursing home. The atmosphere didn't feel clean or welcoming. My nail tech rushed through the service instead of taking the time to do it right. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. On a good note: They did have the most comfortable chairs I've experienced in a nail salon.

    French Tip Gel Pedicure
    Holly R.

    I was looking for a decent priced nail salon before going on vacation. I found this place as a sponsored ad on Yelp and also went to their instagram page. I saw they offer a happy hour - $45 gel x set with one color and a $30 gel pedicure! Such a steal with how priced all other salons are. It was $10 extra for the ombré on the hands and $5 extra for the french tip on the toes. I was way more willing to pay the extra and tip more with the cost being where it was. The girl who did my pedicure was so precise and did one of the best jobs I've had in 10 years. The guy who did my nails did well, a little rough at times. My nails have stayed well and no issues with the paint or integrity of the Gel X. I liked the vibe of the place - mellow and used their TV for music instead of cable with subtitles on.

    This is my go-to nail salon! The prices are very reasonable, which is why I don't mind making the drive out here. Yen is my go-to nail tech and she's amazing and always gets my nails done within 30 minutes. I've never had any issues with her work. I've paid over $120 at other salons for Gel-X with designs, but here I usually spend around $50-$60. I switch it up depending on my mood: tip and dip, Gel-X with designs, cat eye, or gel and the pricing is always fair for the quality. Definitely try to go on a weekday during their happy hour specials for even better deals! Also, don't skip the pedicure especially the deluxe pedicure. It's such a nice treat. You get a 10-minute leg massage, hot wax treatment on your feet, and everything is cleaned off with a hot towel. Super relaxing and worth it. Great service, great prices, and consistent quality. Highly recommend!

    Best Pedicure I have had! I opted for the Deluxe which was a great decision with the scrub and extra massage. Mina was fantastic! If ever back in the area, I'll be back! Accommodated a walk in on a Saturday. Not too busy and relaxed vibe.

    Book with Yen! She is quick, extremely talented and very professional. I have been looking for a nail tech that is affordable and experienced, so glad that I have finally found the one! They do take walk-ins but I recommended that you make an appointment since this salon is very small. The parking lot is also very small but I didn't have a hard time finding parking. 1000% recommend booking with Yen

    Gladys S.

    Came in for a gel manicure and she was so quick! Appreciated her offering to paint one nail to see if I liked the color or not. Forgot to get her name but I'll definitely be a regular at this spot now.

The clinician called me to ask if I could come in early and I said yes hoping to be feeling better but as I began to work on some things at home I felt worse and worse. (I just found out I have Covid). I attempted to reschedule through Vagaro, but because my appointment was less than six hours away, the system would not allow me to do so. I called the salon and was informed by a staff member that I would be charged a $10 cancellation fee despite being sick and wanting to reschedule rather than cancel outright. Since my service was only an underarm wax, the fee amounted to approximately 40% of the total service cost. I asked whether an exception could be made given the circumstances, but was told it was the "manager's policy." The response felt very scripted and lacked any empathy for the situation. I ultimately agreed to pay the fee, but asked that the manager be informed they had lost a customer over $10. Unfortunately, the experience became even more disappointing. The manager, Sarah, called me after I had already explained that I was sick and wanted to discuss the situation. I was really not feeling well and did not appreciate receiving a call to discuss this further. I told the manager that, because I wasn't feeling well, the only discussion I was interested in having was whether the cancellation fee would be refunded. Instead of addressing my concern, Sarah ended the call abruptly by HANGING UP ON ME. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but customer service and compassion matter. A little flexibility for a client who woke up sick and was trying to reschedule, not avoid paying, would have gone a long way. Instead, I was charged a fee that represented a significant portion of the service cost and was treated in a way that ensured I won't be returning. If you book here, just be aware that if you wake up sick on the day of your appointment, you should expect the cancellation fee to be enforced regardless of the circumstances.

Not a nasty smell but like an old building smell. Lesly gets to sugaring me and honestly the pain level was 2-3/10. Also, Lesly is so cool. Professional and flexible. It really felt like a friend was servicing me. We talked about the world cup, Love Island, and others things I can't remember because I took too long to write this review! I was out of there within 15 minutes. She also recommended me a coffee shop as I asked her what was good in that area.

She was told that a new California law requires a 20% tip to be added when paying with a card, and there was also an additional $3.50 charge for debit card users. Had we known about these fees beforehand, we would have brought cash. Based on my understanding, the explanation regarding the mandatory 20% tip did not seem accurate. I am happy to leave a generous tip when service is exceptional, but I do not believe customers should be required to pay a 20% gratuity, especially when they are dissatisfied with the quality of the service they received. While this visit was disappointing, I want to acknowledge that previous experiences here have been very positive. I hope management addresses these concerns to ensure future customers have a better experience.
