Loved it. Started right on time with the pedi first since MK was with a client. Once we got to my full set I showed him a couple photos and we talked it through enough for me to feel comfortable. I had something specific in mind with minor tweaks. No nicks or cuts of any kind and my nails were beautiful :) My only complaint is they didn't post my nails on their insta, I thought they were that nice (this is not a real complaint lol) read more

I came here back in September and loved my experience so I returned to get my nails done for Halloween. Tim did my nails this time and he filed my previous gel off instead of soaking them off and continued to file my nails a lot once the color was off as well. I liked how my nails looked and thought nothing of the filing since my nails looked long after my appointment and I assumed he knew what he was doing. Hours later I realized how weak my nails were, they went from strong to bendable. I came in on Thursday and by Sunday my nails were breaking on the sides, too far down my finger for me to just clip. I had to trim all my nails in order to get them to not fully break, but the damage was already done on 4 and the pain that came with it was terrible. He ruined my previously long and strong nails. It's been weeks, I'm still dealing with the damage and will have to for a while. read more

I refuse to go anywhere else bcuz my GelX nails always last more than a month when I see Kristy. They actually would last longer if I didn't force them to come off for a new set. the GelX is WORTH every penny, from the look to the no lifting, no breaking, and lasting!! I live over 30 min away & will arrange to come here anytime over any other nail salons. Ladies don't be cheap, go with the best ! Kristy is my GO TO but alllll the staff is amaamazing! read more

Friendly, fast, affordable! Great color and technique selections. Clean and pampered vibe.

This review is for Nail Tech Kristy. She is a great tech and artist. I tell her what event I'm going to and she selects the perfect color and nail art. I like simple elegant styles and she gets it right every time!! read more

My daughter and I are in town for a soccer tournament and we were looking for a low-key activity to do together after a big day of multiple soccer matches and a big win. Slay Me Nails was great! It was one block away from our hotel and already had excellent reviews. My daughter got color on her hands and toes and I had a mani-pedi with gel. The team was courteous (spoke mostly English, even to each other, in front of us), gentle, and did beautiful/detailed work. We love our nails! The only reason this is not 5 stars is because we had dinner plans with my daughter's soccer team and we didn't want to feel stressed about the timing so I called ahead to ask if there was a wait and was told there was no wait but we ended up waiting 15-20 minutes. I would have preferred an honest answer so I could make an informed decision and be able to relax more while getting the service. In the end, it worked out and we made it on time to the team dinner. I would definitely come back again! read more

I've been meaning to leave a review for this place, specifically for the nail technician, Tim. Since I've started going here, he's always been wonderful to schedule with. The nails itself are always so beautiful, he pays attention to detail from shape, color, etc. He's always super patient with helping me decide what color of acrylic I should go with, and this most recent time even kind enough to give me some tips on how to strengthen my nails and protect my cuticles. There's not enough reviews on here about him! I highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a perfect clean nails. :) read more

This vibe of the shop was so cute and is a perfect place to truly feel like you are treating yourself! And i absolutely love love love my nails! And yes they're so short but when I telll you Lucy simply revived the jagged appearing way my previous old gel set looked. This is by far the BEST short gel manicure that I've gotten. I mean her attention to detail was amazing. When I saw the previous photos of other clients work I knew I would be in good hands here. Definitely going to have to save this place for whenever I'm in town next, they are amazing! read more

I made an appointment for luminary builder gel from a family friend recommendation on this establishment. My hopes were high walking in seeing the cleanliness of the place and the nice looks of the place. It's been a couple years since I've gone to a salon because of poor past experience and was hoping because I was recommended here it'd be better. My cuticles were torn up and it felt like dull clippers were being used. The application of the luminary gel was okay but felt too rushed and like attention to detail wasn't being shown. When it came to shaping my nails I noticed after the service that she had cut and filed my nails past my nail plate. This not only caused me pain during the service but even days after just simply washing my hands. My design wasn't complicated just a simple French tip and I didn't feel it was done to the technicians best ability. I also got a gel pedicure done that was underwhelming. The technician only asked if I wanted length off but didn't ask how much so I was still left with nails that were longer than I wanted. And weren't cut straight. The application was better than my manicure but the edges of my nails were also left very sharp not filed down. Now because I haven't treated myself to this in a long time I was excited and joyful after the service and still left a great tip to both technicians. But I will definitely not be going back and just continuing to do my own nails from now on. read more

The artwork is good! My girl was always Carol. I'd go to her every 4-5 weeks. But my last appointment, it was upsetting as I had requested an appointment to be at a certain time, an hour before the appointment, they requested to push it to a later time. I arrive to the time that was suggested and I still waited for over 40 minutes. Someone came in after me and was seated immediately. I approached the front desk just to let him know I can come in at another day. Then the response was "come sit" and he sat me down. The service was rushed, but what made it worse was when carol and the front desk receptionist were talking about me, I was facing the tv, they turned around to look at me, turned back around and laughed. As someone who would tell everyone to come here, unless you want to be dismissed, be my guest. But I never came back because I thought they were more professional. Communication definitely needs to be worked on for future clients who aren't told anything. read more

Love love love this place! I found this place a few years ago and have never looked back. I literally drive 40 minutes just to get my nails done here. I have gotten my nails done by almost everyone who works there and they have never disappointed. It's always clean and feels very high end. The techs are really nice and I love the way they decorate for different holidays. Make sure to call a few days out for an appointment though or you may be waiting. read more

Honestly I'm not happy with my nails. Yeah the nail salon was beautiful, not my nail outcome. I was here yesterday morning prepping for my bachelorette weekend. I was so excited to visit the nail salon, definitely left very disappointed . I wanted a specific of design, which is attached. what I received is completely different. On the clear nails you can see my natural nail, also you see the bubbles on my nails, overall not happy with the quality. Plus my nail tech Kristy cut me multiple times.I'm more mad at myself for not speaking up. Lesson learned. I end up paying $150 for these nails and a pedicure, so not with the price! I wouldn't recommend visiting this salon. read more

I was in town for work so I decided to call and make an appointment for when I was done. They were able to accommodate same-day, just a few hours later. I appreciate that they sent a text reminder (you use that same cell number to check in when you arrive). They have free parking in the back. I was greeted immediately when I arrived. The salon was very clean and nicely decorated. I got a full acrylic set done. Square shape with a design (polishes were gel). My tech was named Amy and she was so kind! She was unable to do the initial design I requested but we compromised and adjusted. See photos for end result. I paid $85 for the set. They only take CASH tips, but you can pay for your service using your card (with a 3% fee). I believe they can also take tips via Zelle, Cash App, etc. I totally recommend this place to anyone residing or visiting the area (Downtown Riverside). read more

I really really wanted to like this place because of the close location to me, but unfortunately I had too many small difficulties that all added up to make me hesitant to go back. I went twice and both times the nail tech had the sanding tool on my nails too long and it burned one of my nails that I had to jump in pain. He quickly pressed down on my nail to stop the pain, but I wish it hadn't happened to begin with. The other concern was during my first time going, I had asked just for a "fill" of my original dipped nails like I get at my other salon but instead he took my nails off entirely to redo them and re-add tip extensions on. Plus I then had to pay for the full price of nail extensions with dip powder and gel manicure rather than just the fill. The liquid was also extremely hot and it was hard to keep my fingers in it. Finally, the main issue I had that stops me from going back was that the tips of my nails were not glued on completely so that I could feel the gap between the extension and the underneath real nail and it drove me crazy as I could "click" my nail on my real underneath nail. This led to me messing more with my nails and the glue then entirely popped off and the nails broke. I had hoped to try another nail tech to see if it was just one person's technique so on my second visit I requested a nail tech that is very recommended on yelp, but they ignored my request and placed me with the same guy the second time I visited, which resulted in the same difficulties and nail gap experience. Also then the second time my gel polish started peeling within a day of getting it done. I am sure if I had gotten the chance to return to fix my peeling nail, they would have fixed it, but I still felt for the price I paid I shouldn't have had to return within a day. It felt to me that he didn't leave my nails under the UV lamp for the full time, so perhaps one of the layers didn't entirely cure. I am giving this four stars because the nails themselves turned out very pretty and there are lots of wonderful colors to choose from. I also liked the check in procedure on the monitor and everyone is very nice at the location. It was a disappointment my request for a particular nail tech wasn't fulfilled and I just couldn't handle not having the nail entirely glued down both times I went. Perhaps in the future I might try again and request a different nail tech ahead of time. read more

We made an appointment for three pedicures and set of gelx nails. The chairs were ready when we arrived, which was great that they didn't double book and make us wait like a lot of places.

I would highly recommend. read more

Today I had my daughter go there she called and requested a gel pedicure and asked for the pricing which she was told $30. She was able to go in right at the time that they told her to which was 4 o'clock. Once she got there she was told it's 20 more dollars just for the gel polish on top of the $30 pedicure, which was not discussed over the phone. I gave her $40 because she's a 16-year-old kid $40 so she can get her pedicure and maybe if she wanted a design extra $10 when it was time to pay they charged her 50 and she only had 4042. Then the lady tells my daughter she paid nine dollars instead of the 42 and they were trying to process it but it wasn't going through so my daughter explained to me that she paid 42 but had a nine dollar balance. I had $20 cash. I asked her to come get the $20 so she can finish paying and that is when all these adult Asian men and two other women surrounded my child I guess assuming she was going to try to run even though she had already paid $42. So my daughter text me mom help please just come in and give me the money. I was unable to go in because I had my toddler son sleep in the car so I ended up going inside and handed her $20 and went and sat back down in my car. She still was taking a while and I was trying to figure out what was going on. Once I went inside, that's when the lady was trying to explain that my daughter only paid nine dollars maybe her English was not very good and she didn't understand what she was saying or doing. I have no idea but when I looked on my daughter's bank account it showed she paid $42 and some change to which I showed it to this woman because she was trying to tell me no she did not pay it so I literally pulled up my daughter's online bank account and showed her and it said slamming nails $42 so I showed the lady and she says oh OK and walks off and then another lady comes in and says oh well she still owes nine dollars. I'm like yes that's why she had to go to the car to get more money for me which you guys were surrounding my kid. Anyway, I paid my the fee and absolutely did not give any type of tip but will never come to this nail shop again. I have been there before they did a terrible pedicure on me and I already knew I did not really like the vibe there because the people aren't very friendly and then they tried to up Charge on everything so now it's even more solid that I will never come back to that shop again and I would urge you if your person of color probably not to go back there either since they're assuming that people are walking out. read more

This past Saturday morning was my 2nd visit to Slay me Nails. I want to start by saying it is a very clean place, nice environment and the people are very nice. However this last visit I was having a Pedicure done by Lucy, and in the middle of the Pedicure she was cleaning up around my nails, she was cutting the side of the nail on my big toe and I felt an uncomfortable pinch, but didn't think much of it as it didn't feel excruciating. She finished the Pedicure and I notice the area around my nail was starting to turn red, again I wasn't in any pain at this point and figured being that she just worked on my nail it would be alittle red. We'll the next day the pain started to kick in and now my nail is draining pus. I was really starting to like this place, but I do t want to have to worry about my toes getting messed up each time I go in. I will probably be going elsewhere from now on. read more

Update. My gel nails lasted me 3 weeks before chipping! That's only the 2nd time in my life that gel nails have lasted me that long. Anywhere else I've gone, my nails have chipped in the first 3 days. Good polish & good technique! (I've come again and my gel nails lasted 3 weeks the second time too)! read more

Their pedicures offer a variety of treatments and their spa chairs are brand new and well maintained (they have a cleaning log to ensure everything is tidy).

I wanted to gate-keep this nail salon BUT it would be unfair to the nail artists here. These techs know what they are doing! We came in for pedicures and nail sets. MK did my nails exactly how I wanted them. The salon itself is very clean and well-kept. The women doing the pedicures wore gloves. The nail tools were kept in their sterile blue packaging. I am pleased at the attentiveness to cleanliness. The customer service was great! I called the front desk and they did a great job answering all my questions. When we arrived the front desk showed us a services menu and offered us drinks. Everyone there was respectful and so sweet. The prices are very fair considering the quality of the service and the tools they used. I felt they were very upfront about their pricing with their service menus. I will DEFINITELY be back. read more
