This review is for Vicky!!! I've been coming to her for some time now and she always does a great job on my nails. This salon is close to my work so I come here during my lunch hour sometimes and she is helpful and accommodating. I love how many nails always turn out. read more

Red Persimmon Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut, California

I go here every time I visit my family in SoCal. I almost didn't recognize the place because they completely made over their shop! Lee calls it a nail bar really nice interior and the new spa chairs give great massages! This review is way overdue- I've been coming here for years! I wanted to give a shout out to Lee for fixing my ingrown nail. I've never had an issue with ingrown nails until I went to a nail salon in SF where the guy cut the side of my nails. Lee told me to never let them cut the sides of your nails! There's a proper technique to do it, but many people don't know how. If it's not cut straight your nails will grown inward into your skin and hence ingrown. I was in so much pain for months and didn't think there'd be a solution. I now have trust issues with nail salons, but you'd be in good hands with the ladies here. The quality of their products are great. I don't know what kind of base coat they use, but my toe nails do not chip and I literally keep them on for 4+ weeks. Give this place a try, you won't regret it! Make an appointment though as they do get busy. read more

As a business owner, I'm not one to complain publicly by submitting a poor rating on Yelp, but this nail salon is by far the most "non-servicing" nail salon ever visited. I've been to this salon on various days of the week and times; whether it's a Tuesday at 1PM, a Thursday at 3PM or a Sunday at 10AM, they seem to always be oh-so-conveniently busy or completely booked. Today, I tried my hand at being serviced at this salon at 3pm on a Monday. Low and behold, the owner, who seems to know everyone's schedule and the voice box of the all technicians, claimed that "all were booked" with clients....yet again. I followed up by mentioning another client looked to be finishing up soon, I'm sure the technician can do a simple nail polish removal. She quickly replied, "No! She has a client coming in afterwards." So....you're technicians aren't trained to multitask?! Me sitting with acetone and aluminium foil wrapped around my fingers will drastically cause delay in her "yet-to- arrive" next appointment?? The business manager, assuming to be the owner's daughter and speaks the most fluent English wasn't apparent. When I've visited the last few times, she at least softens the blow by being nice about denying me service. Similiar to Lynn's comment, I too, feel discriminated against due to the color of my skin. I was serviced once before, but after the one time and the past few months of trying, I finally got the hint. If you're of a select hue, please enjoy. All others, please beware... Hopefully once they see this comment, changes will be made, but only those following will benefit as I will not be returning to this location. Please remove "Walk-ins Welcomed" if you just replied to Lynn's post 6 months ago indicating that 80% of the services performed ARE by appointments. It's misleading and a time waster for those stopping by to get a walk-in service. Tip: If you're finding yourself with more customers than your current team can handle, hire more technicians. Assess the needs of the business, because I'm sure turning away business isn't helping the overall bottom line. Figure it out. read more

Cuts on all fingers, nail bed hurt when she would file she was apparently using a really rough one that when I told her she hurt me she switched it to a smoother one. Shape was off shorter than what asked. Worst experience wasn't going to leave a review and just never go back but besides the sloppy job after 4 days the nails are already falling off. I gyess that comes with the sloppy service. I literally took one off so easy as if I've had then for three weeks. read more

Summary: Average service with A LOT of sh!t-talking. If you think they're talking about you in Vietnamese... they are. And it's bad. ------------------------------------------- Okay, so I've visited this place to get a pedicure about 3-4 times. It's your basic run of the mill nail salon in terms of overall service. Some of the nail techs are nicer than others - some are smiley and will make friendly chit-chat with you, while others are stone-faced and will barely utter two words to you. In terms of quality of work, it's just okay - you get what you'd expect from a pedicure, but they definitely do not go the extra mile and will rush through the routine if it's during their peak hours and they're busy. I've gotten cut to the point of bleeding once, and I saw that same tech cut another patron next to me during a pedicure on a future visit. Don't expect any frills, and don't expect to feel super pampered. But, to be fair, my pedicures last a good couple of weeks looking nice enough with no chips. It's not the best looking salon, but it's not a total dump either. It seems like they sweep and dust well enough, but some of their waiting area chairs are stained. However, this salon, like soooo many other ones all over LA and Orange county, do not sterilize the instruments and scrub down the spa baths the way they should. I mean seriously, think of the things they do to your fingers and toes with those instruments - those puppies should be washed and sterilized the same way medical/dental equipment is after each use. I think this place does at least rinse their instruments and use soap. I hope, at least. BUT, the real reason of my writing this review is based on my most recent visit to this nail place, and why I will NEVER come back to it again. I'm Vietnamese, but don't look it at all.... so the ladies will talk away in Vietnamese not knowing that I can understand everything they're saying. So, as you can imagine, I've heard my fair share of smack-talking and have had it be about myself as well. But I can usually blow it off because, as weird as this may sound, the insults aren't bad enough to warrant being offended. However, at this particular visit, the smack-talking from the manager took the cake! I came straight from work, and was therefore still wearing my scrubs. Well, manager lady proceeds to make fun of me for wearing scrubs, saying I look like a homeless person. And then she makes fun of the way I was sitting (still don't get that one) and cackles away with another worker. And then she makes fun of the nail polish color I chose (a color they stocked themselves!) and said it was "scary" and that they should take a picture of it to show other customers what not to use. *Sigh*, she was on a very mean-girls-esque roll. I didn't do anything to warrant the criticism - I was polite and friendly, and didn't mind the long wait since I was a walk-in on a Friday night. So anyways, I didn't say anything because it was a busy Friday evening and I knew if I opened my mouth, my anger may have gotten the best of me and made me look like a crazy person. No need to cause a scene. And although it may not be fair to base a rating/review on the things the manager said when she didn't realize I could understand, she should have realized that you never know who can hear/understand you, so you should learn to be more careful with your words. read more

This is the only nail salon that I have been to, where my gel manicure last over 3 weeks. I am so glad I found it! They carry OPI gel Polish. I don't know if that's the reason my manicure lasted so long (I only pick OPI colors) all the ladies are nice and helpfull. I've never had a bad experience, I highly recommend this place. read more

Came in for a full set and was helped by Nikki. When she was grinding down my nails, I felt her cut my index finger but I excused it. Then she cut the side of my pinky.. and before I knew it she cut ALL of my fingers. How do you cut every single one??? I didn't notice all of the cuts until I got home and washed my hands and they started burning. Had to wear bandaids to function at work. Now my thumb is infected, I've never had a worst experience. read more

I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE NEGATIVE STARS! I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN When I first walked in the managers wife told me it would be approximately 15 min which was fine because I was a walk in on a Thursday. That day I was getting a purple glitter acrylic set. The owners wife (I don't know her name but she is the head honcho of the place you could tell) well she walked over to the door she keeps all the glitter powder at and brings back one. As she began it looked completely pink NOWHERE near the deep purple i picked. I tell her this and her reply was simply "oh no honey it'll be purple" by the time she was putting on the gel which shows the true color they were in fact pink. I told her this and she continued to insist that was the color I asked for. When I brought over the sample board of all the nails I placed my nail next to the one I pointed to at the beginning at it was far from being close I guess she finally realized it too so she began to say " oh well we don't have that one" and it was like WTH why didn't you tell me that an HOUR AMD A HALF AGO?? She then proceeded with the "no we dont have that color" for a few minutes when her co worker said something in Vietnamese and brought over the purple glitter powder. This lady screwed up my nails because she was too lazy to look for the purple this other lady had just found. She then changed her story saying it was my fault for not saying It wasn't the right color (how unprofessional and WRONG!) but all of them started ganging up on me saying that it was mt fault as well. They ignored the fact I accused it of being the wrong color multiple times. Nevertheless, she made me wait an additional 45 minutes as she finished another girls acrylics and still wanted to make me pay full price for her screwing up, tearing off my acrylics and redoing them in a rush to get to the next client.. I just wanted to share my story. Red Persimmon in Walnut/city of industry is over priced and any complaint you make, they all gang up on you AND blame you. Worst nail place ever. read more

I've never had a good experience with this chain...until today! I came here for a pedicure based on the referral of a good friend. Upon walking in, I was sad to see the worn condition of the salon. Everyone was really friendly, and I hesitantly sat down in the massage chair and put my feet in the water bowl. When I met Nikki, I thought she was super nice...I wondered if she would be able to navigate my claws (aka feet). Well, she was very diligent, gentle, and AMAZING! She knew exactly what was wrong and what to do, and my feet actually feel like feet again! There is nothing luxurious about this place or the products they use, but Nikki is a solid professional! 3 stars - Ambiance 4 stars - Service 5 stars - Nikki I already made my next appointment with Nikki, and I look forward to having her work on my feet for many years to come! read more

This is the worst place I have ever been. I went in with my friend to get some acrylics done. And I came out with the worst nail job ever. I originally got white acrylics. They cut a chunk of my skin off. And at the moment, it still is bleeding. Literally, a chunk of my skin is gone because of a new nail file..? When done, it looked like there were a bunch of bubbles in the nail along with some white pieces. I asked them to fix it and had to argue to have them settle with painting them over with black gel nail polish. After leaving I realized what a bigger mess it is in sunlight! It is all uneven and the sides of a couple of my nails are missing paint. And one of my nails is wider on the top edge. AND! The top gel layer is peeling off on several nails! They had the audacity to charge me for this horrible service. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone. I gave them the opportunity to redeem themselves by just painted over the horrible acrylic job with the black gel nail polish but it ended up making the situation worse. I would love for the owner of this location to contact me in regards to a refund from this horrible experience before I send over some health inspections to shut this place down. Aside from bad service, the items they use are not sanitary. The UV machine was dirty. It was disgusting having to put my hand (with my bleeding finger) inside that machine... which was not cleaned out after I used it. read more

Been here few times and thought it's just ok...2-3 stars until today. The lady who did my manicure did a really poor job. Cut me twice, put alcohol over my wound twice...whatever clear nail polish she used as top coat is so thin,not shiny, looks really ugly and did not apply on my whole nail surface on 3 of the nails. She picked up 3 business phone calls, 2 personal phone calls and walked away twice during the 35 mins and she stop trimming and massage to CHAT with co-worker. I know u guys like to chat, but ppl normally continue their job while chatting.... Not coming back again... read more

I have had my gel polish on for exact one week and on day five the colors started to fade and are now discolored. I'm not sure if the gel used was old and has gone bad but this has never happened before. Going to get a fresh mani somewhere else because I can't look at this anymore. read more

Went for a fill and it was super packed. I was already there so I waited, the main lady told me it would be an hour wait but it didn't feel that long maybe 30 minutes. She's quick! I really enjoyed her work, she was fast and definitely knew what she was doing . I didn't get gel as usual and she made the nails shorter than usual which was new but I do like them! Only once she burned my finger with the file but overall I would recommend. The only thing is that the paint job was a little messy you can see the layers . I would probably go there again. read more

I walked into this place because it was the only nail salon that opened after 7pm near home. I work in Anaheim and on the way home I had the urge to get my nails done. Seeing as though they were about to close I was seen immediately. I wish I would have gotten the name of the lady that did my nails because she was very patient and took her time even though all of her lady friends were packing up to go home. Thank you! I felt kind of bad for keeping her there because I'm sure she's had a long day, but she was really nice through out my session. I will definitely come back and recommend to my friends! read more

I LoVe my nail girl Ly has been doing my nails for over 20 yrs. There's been 3 or 4 times that for excusable reasons I've had to go somewhere else and I have been so disappointed. I've had a few girls through the years now work on my pedicure due to them moving on in life so Kim has been doing my pedicures for a few years now and she knows exactly what to do with my ingrown toenails. Thank you Ly and Ashley and the rest of the ladies for doing such great work. read more

The pedicure was very very good. The girl was super sweet and really worked hard to make sure everything was clean clean payed extra for a 20 min massage which was amazing! My feet were in heaven. The mani....I loved what she did she was very very detailed. AND I was a walk in too. Couldn't do what I wanted but that's ok still worth the price read more

Red Persimmon Nails & Spa - Wanted flat black with shiny tips but still looks good - Nail Salons Near Me - Walnut, California

Don't ever go here! I came in for a pedicure and when the lady was scrubbing my foot with the pumice stone i felt a slight burning sensation. When she finished, she had deeply shaved off the side of my toe! It was extremely painful and bleeding pretty badly. It has been a week since then and my toe still hurts pretty badly. There's a huge gash in my toe! They still charged me... I'm not the type of person who likes conflict and i tend to avoid confrontation so that is why i'm speaking up here on yelp. I know that i will never come back here and i urge others to stay away. read more

My fist time here, I was fortunate enough to have had Vicky pick me up from the wait area to work on my nails. I was very pleased. So pleased that I came back again three weeks later with my sister to do a mani/pedi. John worked on refilling my nails that time, and I was happy with his work. Last week, I came back for the third time for a refill again, I ended up with Lily. Sloppy! I kept asking her to thin down my nails, she just kept saying ok. In the end, it was a botched job. I was rushing, because after an hour and a half of Lily's half-assed manicure, I had to get on with my schedule. I was very disappointed. I will probably come back one more time to test the waters, hopefully Lily was just a fluke. read more

Just got a mani and pedi done. This is my 2nd time here. First time was fine. This is my first time getting a pedi here I don't think I will get another pedi here. They never put any type of soap in the water while my feet were soaking. The did my mani first and my feet were in the water just soaking. That is fine, but usually they put something in the water. Thought that was odd. They don't really talk to you so it's pretty quite in the shop. They just ask is that good. Overall, It's an okay place. Only 2 stars because I have had better and the environment was blah. read more

Okay 1 for my last experience here The first time I got a Brazilian was here was by the tall lady. She really knew what she was doing. She made sure I was comfortable and in a position that would make the treatment hurt less. It was honestly a breeze which is why I came back for a second time. But the second time was done by a new and different lady. I honestly don't like giving bad reviews but I had a TERRIBLE and STRESSFUL experience. It was so incredibly painful. I don't think she knew what she was doing or I don't think she was qualified to do it. First of all, any aesthetician knows NOT to reapply wax to one area more than once. She did it several times and ended up ripping up my skin DOWN THERE. She even used her fingers to pull out some hairs. It's so blatantly unsanitary. Whenever she pulled she somehow wasn't able to pull it properly so a lot of hairs were left after she ripped the paper off and wax was left down there. It was so messy. She even left all the used waxing paper between my legs like a trash can. She kept reapplying the same areas I wasn't even that hairy. She just didn't know how to apply wax and rip it off properly.At one point I just told her to stop because she was hurting me and she was so ridiculously unaware of how to do her job correctly. She dumped aloe all over down there and just smothered it, I felt so uncomfortable. I am never going back to this place. I paid $35 and tipped $3 because I felt sorry for her. She shouldn't work at a salon... I feel like she just got the job cuz she was just the manager's cousin or something because she definitely was not qualified! I don't know who would hire her otherwise! read more

This review is mainly for VICKY only. I always come here to get my eyebrows waxed by Vicky & she has always been consistent & takes the time to make sure your eyebrows look perfect. I've been going to her ever since she was at legend salon & I followed her here. There are a lot of people who start half-assing their work after you've gone to them a few times but vicky is always on point & detailed even though I've been going to her for a couple years now. She charges a very good price for waving both eyebrows & upper lip. I would recommend going to her. read more

Extremely disappointed! Went on my lunch break (an hour) to get one broken acrylic nail fixed. Was immediately welcomed in and told it would be "five minutes", well 50 minutes later...I left with my nail fixed. The quality of the materials used (going to the back to get the teeny amount of acrylic powder to use...only to pour the remaining back in the industrial sized jug and return), sub-par customer service, timeliness (only one other person in the shop with 4 employees), and overall shop appearance left much to be desired. For the nail "emergency" I had, it will do. However, the fact that my nail (clear polish on an acrylic white tip) doesnt look anything like the other finished products...will leave me desiring to make an appt back at my usual place in 2 1/2 weeks. Until then, gloves it is! :-) read more

Had a pedicure & gel 4 weeks ago and they're STILL in great condition (shiny, no lifting around the edges). The pedicure wasn't the best, so i'd come back just for gel. I wear open-toed shoes often and I trimmed my nails at home with a standard clipper, yet the gel looks unbothered! Would definitely come back. read more

My daughter and I were pressed for time and tried this nail salon for the first time. They gave me a honest wait time and sat me down within 15 minutes. The service and attention we received was great. Stephaine did a great job on my nails and suggested a beautiful creamy white for my engagement photos. I was so thankful for her and her team. The salon just went through a remodel and they have a innovative nail bar area, rather than cluttered tables. I really appreciated her taking her time and the detail she but into my nails. Thank you all for treating my daughter and I well. read more
