I love Royal Nails! I've been coming here since I've been 12 yrs old. I'm now, 27 and still been coming here for years. I now live in Santa Clarita and I still drive to Covina to get my nails done. IVY, JANE, LIEN are the best nails techs. I always come out feeling so refreshed And feeling pretty. The Quality, cleanliness, and service is always amazing. I appreciate this nail salon and the ladies there. Thank you so much for your services and friendliness. read more

This was my first time coming here. In the beginning it had nice inviting atmosphere to it. Afterwards once the nail technician started doing my pedicure it was going smoothing until she put my sandals on with the paper towel in between my toes and started polishing my nails and put nail polish on my good sandals. Word of advice don't bring good sandals to get pedicure make sure they are crappy sandals. I won't be coming back. read more

Royal Nails And Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Covina, California

I've been going to this place for many year and always made my appointment 3 weeks ahead of time. I told the lady, I wouldn't be needing a manicure then everything changed. They told me they were going to change my appointment. I didn't understand why I was still getting waxing and a gel pedicure. They said I have two appointments one at 8:30 and one on 9:45. This is how they treat a customer. There are dime a dozen of these places, I will be looking for another place. Changing something is my prerogative not to get punished for it. A heads up don't change anything you ask for because you'll get punished for it . I didn't like getting treated like this, oh well! This is how you lose customers, whatever happened to customer service? read more

Wonderful, nail salon, very clean and inviting! I didn't have an appointment, walk-ins are welcomed. I was seated right away. Lily gave me a fabulous mani/pedi, she took her time and gave me a fabulous massage. Prices are very reasonable, I highly recommend this nail salon! read more

Called to make an appointment and was asked if I had been to the location before. I told the lady I had been there before and she started accusing me of not showing up to my appointments. I told her she was mistaken as I have always showed up to my appointment's, and she still was being very rude to me. She then proceeded to ask what time I needed, I told her and she immediately said " we don't have anything for the rest of the day". She was very rude and unprofessional. read more

So I've been coming here on and off for the past 20 years! Definitely a great go-to place! I remember when they were a single shop property wise! They were always jam packed with customers. It was fantastic when they expanded! They are still busy... just more room. ;) So right now Jane is my nail girl! Oh how I love Jane! She always shapes my nails exactly the way I like them! Lately I've been wearing them on the shorter side and I like the coffin shape! She is still able to give me that "look" even though there is barely any nail to do it! Lol ... I love it. Other places I've tried Never get it right! Go Jane! You rock! All the other nail technicians are so nice! There are a few that know my face from years ago! And I'm always pleased with whoever does my pedicure! I get gel nail polish because I want my nails to stay shiny til my next fill ... and they do (and I'm pretty rough on my hands. They recently got so many gorgeous new colors too! I love all the awesome options I now have! Woohoo Royal Nails! Thank you for being a nail place I can count on! read more

Walked in and they took me in right away. I had a pedicure done by Hannah, and her attention to detail was amazing! Easily one of the best pedicures i've ever had. read more

Update: I tried going other nail places but nothing compares to Royal. I always end up back. I had Ellen do my nails and Kim did my pedi. I was happy the way they came out 2 weeks ago and I went back yesterday. The key to not waiting long is go in early. Like they say the early bird gets the worm. I've had horrible experiences at other nail salons. Like my acrylic nails burning really bad, to having a big part of my skin on my toe cut off that it was pussing. Thankfully nothing like this happens at Royal Nail. The only thing I wish they had was a nail design lady that will be pretty cool. My pedi was done so great! Very good nail place. Chi does an awesome gel mani!! They stay on for a long time and do not chip. The only thing is I feel the pedicure they rush threw it a little. Def call ahead and go during the morning when there is not a wait. I even taken my daughter there for a mani/pedi she's 7 and they took really good care of her read more

My daughter turns 3 years tomorrow , I wanted to get her nails and toes done. I went to 3 different nail salons and they were already closing. I come across this one , I walked in . Empty. I told the lady I wanted to get my daughter's nails and toes done and they all hesitate to wanna take her. If I could speak there language I bet they were all telling each other , "you take her, no you take her " all they were doing was laughing. I told them , "I'm gonna tip you" and they made this lady do it and she made an upset face/smerk. They charged me $50!! For her nails and toes . I just laughed and made it seem like it was okay . I knew they were ripping me off . Once they were finished . Just because I like to be petty , and now that I'm thinking about it , it was stupid of me , but I'm petty. I tipped the lady $20 and all there faces dropped, and looked as if they missed out on a good company . I won't come back here . Not for $50 for a 3 year old . read more

They don't keep their appointments on time. If my appointment is at 10;00, I expect them to take me then. After all I am keeping my end of the appointment by showing up on time. They should be on time too! I do not recommend this nail salon! read more

Avoid this place!!!!!!!!I honestly had the worst experience in this place. I came in with a friend not expecting to get nothing done but because I saw that my real nails under my acrylics were so long I said why not just get a nail soak off with a gel manicure. The lady started to file down my nails and clip them from the edges and was trying to take off my nails with a nail tip to avoid doing a soak off......it hurts so bad that I told her if she couldn't do a nail soak off to please just not to do my nails at all. The other ladies at the shop got worried and they all came to see what I was complaining about. I told them to not clip anymore and that I wanted a nail soak off because I wanted to keep the length of my reals nails rather than clipping them and most likely chipping my long nails. So they ended up doing a nail soak off.... I couldn't believe the lady when she started to shove the nail tip again to take of the rest of the acrylic that was left on my nail bed. I just kept quiet because I wasn't planning on paying and telling them why I was upset about the service. To make this shorter she did my nails and they were all chipped!!!!!!! I told her just to clip the nails that were broken and leave the rest long. She clearly didn't listen and cut all of them short! I told her why did she do that and said my nails were thin and would brake at home anyways. I was so upset I told her I didn't want a gel manicure anymore and she just gave up and left acrylic on my nails and said to take my hands out the water since I wasn't getting a manicure. She put cuticle oil and that was it.! I can honestly complain about more things but this would just go on. Look at my pictures for proof of the horrible work! Never ever ever have I had such a horrible experience My friend paid for my service because she took me with her but I wish she wouldn't have. read more

I always come to this nail salon. Highly recommend to call in ahead/ make an appointment to see if they have room for you because they tend to get super packed. Very big, clean and pretty salon. Workers can use some customer service training, but it's typical of most asian facilities so it's not out of the ordinary. Jane is the best with my acrylics and I love Vivienne to do my pedicure. They accommodate to my requests. Their spa pedicures are amazing. Fairly new equipment like the message chair as they do my pedicure. read more

I've been going to royal nails since 2015. They renovated the store after covid. I feel safe to have my nails done there. The constantly cleaning and sanitizing. ALL of the nail techs are not just certified, they all have skills and make my nails happy every time. They put gloves on you to protect you finger getting exposure under the led. Small thing but it shows they are thoughtful and passion in what they do. It's a tough time for beauty business. Just show a little support. read more

Royal Nails And Spa - Was this really worth $45?!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Covina, California

First of all when I make an appointment for 10:30 I expect to be taken at 10:30 I don't expect to wait over 40 minutes (I understand if it's a Saturday but come on!). This is not the first time this has happened. I ended up leaving, as did a few others and took my business elsewhere. I've been coming here for years...OH WELL...looks as if I found myself a new nail place. If I could give it a negative star rating I would. Ticked me off just one too many times. And the worst part of it I'm always treated horribly when I enter the place...the rest of the staff are very nice but the gal that answers the phone and greets you is RUDE. read more

Royal nails is amazing! I have been a loyal customer for the last 3 years. I won't go anywhere else. They are efficient, kind, and hard working. They always do an amazing job! And they are inexpensive :] *Call to make an appointment,any given day of the week can be busy* read more

I used to come to this nail shop a long time ago then I started going to another nail shop where unfortunately I continue to have bad experiences I'm so happy that I started coming back to royal nails and spa. All the girls are so friendly and this place is very sanitary I love that I don't have to explain to them exactly what I want they do the job perfectly I've been coming here for a couple months now again and I wouldn't change it for the world! Prices are amazing too read more

Came in for a basic fill and spa pedi. prices are reasonable, I ended up paying 28$ plus a 6$ tip. They make you pay before they put the top coat on, not a big deal for me but the little old lady next to me was offended. Very pleased with my fill! The foot scrub on my pedicure was a little lazy but overall job well done. read more

WARNING Do not come here! After many years of horrible customer service I have finally said enough! I've been a customer for over eight years and you'd think they would have some respect for their customers, well they don't. I've been coming here because it's close to home and the prices are reasonable. But don't be fooled, you get what you pay for. Both of the owners are the rudest people you will ever meet. You walk in and they ignore you, you make an appointment and don't honor it. You think you're there for some relaxation, WRONG!!!! You walk out with a headache because all they do is talk almost yell like parrots in there. If you tell them to fix a nail they get upset and argue with you. Please enter at your own risk. They pick and chose if they want to take your appointment. I've seen and experienced it first hand. Enter at your own risk. These people need some much needed customer service skills! read more

Terrible place, do not go here ! Came here around 3 weeks ago at 6 pm and was not helped till 630. Then, I wanted a fill and she insisted that I get a new full set. However, only one nail was broken and it really hurt when she yanked the other ones off. The nail technician, Jane, had the nerve to tell me she wanted to go home too! And, she did because she said my new gel nails were dry when they were still wet, all my nails were ruined 5 mins after I got into the car because of her rushing me. What a waste of $35 !!! They upcharge for everything too. Also, the owner was just lurking around while she was finishing up and it seemed like he was rushing her. On top of that, the ambiance of the place is not visually appealing either. I would say spend a few more bucks to go somewhere nice, you pay for what you get folks. read more

Don't come here!!!! They always leave the big toenail crooked and say it's because of how your nail is growing. Ummmm noooo, because no other nail salon leaves my nails like that. (This has happened to my mom and sister MULTIPLE TIMES) They gave a half assed massage. Also, my gel nails have bubbles on them. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Worst place ever, they don't know how to do gel or what they offer in this place, and then they force you to get something you don't want, they don't know how to do Metallics or holographica, once they mess up your nails they ask you to get another color because they don't know how to do their job, they should say something in advance if they don't know how to do something, waste of time! read more

Asked for a specific lady and after waiting for 10 mins (she was working on someone else) she comes and says if another nail lady could do my pedicure because she had an appointment coming.... I was kind of annoyed at the fact that she didn't say that for start but I agreed for someone else to do my pedicure... another 5 mins go by and some lady says just come back because we all have appointments while 3 nail lady's were just sitting there watching TV. Very unprofessional and rude !!! Not coming back! read more

I made a huge mistake coming to get my gel manicure done here. It was the day before valentines day and the girl who usually does my nails at century nails is off on Thursday so I took a chance here and left very upset!! The lady who did my nails was chi and well i'm sorry but she did a horrible job! The polish is chipped already and it hasn't been a week and only half my nails got painted. I kept asking her why I had a huge gap from where my cuticles and nail meet and she said it was painted! I paid $25 for a gel manicure that chipped the next day!! That's the reason why you get gel so your polish won't chip!! Please stay away!! Go to century nails and ask for Nina or holly! It's only $20 and your Nails last for 3 weeks! read more

I've been coming here on and off for 3.5yrs...I like the service from Kate, May and maybe one other nail tech....however what is the point in calling and making an appointment if you're going to make me wait half an hour after the appointment time?! It's not even busy. 35mins now after my appointment and still not even sitting in a chair. I agree with other reviewers the owners are rude and could careless. read more

I have been coming here for a while. I get my eye lashes done by Joanne, and they look and feel amazing. I love how well she does them that I drive an hour to have them filled. I've been to other places to have my eyelashes done and ended up regretting having them done by someone else. They look very natural, they don't ruin your natural lashes like other salons. I've also had my nails done here several times by Jane. She does a great job. The staff is friendly, and remembered my name after only two times coming in. The prices are competitive to other salons in the area. read more

Clean place. I get wax, full set and pedicure. They talk to each other in their language lol who knows what they say, but the nails come out great. The pedicure is ok. I have gotten better pedicures but for the price I guess it's alright. You have to tell them what you want exactly. Otherwise they will let you walk out with ugly looking nails. When I went in for fill, the white tip of the nail had grew out and it didn't look nice. But the nail tech just gave me the fill and didn't put the white polish on the tips. read more

I walked in not knowing it was appointment only. Jane immediately acknowledged me when I walked in and told me she would fit me in. Jane did an amazing job on my mani/ pedi. She is a perfectionist I will definitely return! read more

I've been coming here for a couple of years and since I'm not picky I've had work done by all the women here. I had a "not so pleasant" experience with Lien before but today when I went in on my day off from work I thought I'd give her another chance but oh brother that was a huge mistake! As soon as I walked in she sat me down so I didn't get a chance to pick a color as she working on my fill Another woman named May (really nice) was working on my pedicure and she tells me to go wash my hands (are u serious?@!) so I said "I can't they're painting my toes, so she grunted and went to the back got a warm towel and tossed it on the table so I could wipe my hands, I still kept my cool. Then she barks "what color" really loud and I showed her a picture of a pale pink and she grabs a nude and I said oh no that's pretty but I want a light pink color and she grunted again and threw a coffee color on the table and I said no thank you and she said "well you get color" loud and stood up and started complaining in her language and two other workers turned and looked at me. She Came back and said what color again like FUCK don't u see this woman working on my toes! Finally a couple minutes later I managed to get up with fresh paint on my toes and grabbed the first color I saw just wanting to get out of there! She then said really loudly "are you sure, are you sure you want this color now". While bitingly tongue hard I have her an ugly look and did not answer her because nothing good would've came out! I wished she hadn't charged me so early on so I could take my tip back but needless to say I walked out furious! This was suppose to be a relaxing time at the nail shop on my only day off to get pampered and she managed to ruin it!! AVOID LiEN!!! She is the one sitting right behind the nail polish stand as soon as u come to the left! I hate the color on my nailsboo hoo!! read more

Way overdue review. Overall you can't go wrong here. In a place where there are nail salons at every corner, I always come back for 2 reasons: cleanliness and price. They are generally pretty clean and sanitary. This in my book is important. Their prices are pretty affordable. Basic pedicure is around $14.00 and spa usually runs around $17.00. Their pedicures are nothing special. The leg massage and foot scrub is nothing more than a little rub. But their detail to the nails is what compensates for it. They are usually pretty through. I've started getting gel nails since before the craze. They used to be $18.00 but not with recent popularity they've increased their prices to $25.00 :( I usually try to come here during the week and never have a problem getting service. I have been here on Saturday's and it gets pretty crowded, especially if you don't already have an appointment. read more

I have been a loyal customer since I can remember. This location is one the cleanest nail salons I've been to. The only thing is is that you definitely need to make an appointment unless you plan on coming in on a Tuesday at 11 am. I usually always leave satisfied with my nails themselves, however I have encountered times where the ladies are rude & rushy. I know you may not speak perfect English but I'm sure you know how to be nice. Kim is my favorite for waxing. She's an absolute sweetheart! & I usually ask for Jane for my nails, she does a great job. & oh, they always talk amongst themselves. & I'm sure they'll talk about you. So if you'll get offended, don't stop by. read more
