I am really disappointed with the experience my mom had at Snappy Nails, especially because this pedicure was supposed to be a Mother's Day gift. She was so excited to treat herself and showed the nail tech a simple, elegant gold design she wanted, but the final result looked rushed and messy. The polish was uneven, poorly shaped, and did not look close to the inspiration photo at all. What makes it worse is seeing how disappointed my mom felt afterward. A Mother's Day gift is supposed to make someone feel special and appreciated, but instead she left upset and unhappy with the service she paid for. We expected much better quality, care, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet our expectations, and I would not recommend this salon based on the poor result and overall experience. read more

I have been coming here for a few years already, i just decided to take a break so my nails can heal.. this is my second time at this location getting the same exact set and i even pointed out the girl that did my last one to help the guy make it similar. My first visit getting this set Jane charged me $45-$47 it was a new acrylic set. Very simple as you see in the picture just one simple color on short nails. No design or Diamond added. I decided to go tonight and get the same set. This male decided to charge me $60 ?? i asked why ? and what he said made no sense. when i explained how, if i got the same exact set, Same Length, for a lower price the first time. second visit i remember i got the same short nails on french tip which everyone knows that is a up charge and that was $55 so why am i getting charged $60 for just a simple color this time ?? I know nail salons eye ball you and make up prices depending on the looks of the customers but definitely didn't expect this from this salon. They lost all my respect and definitely will not be coming back. Will definitely warn people about this place. My family even gets their nails done here and have lost respect for this place after this. i always tip $10 every visit here so for them to do this is such a disappointment. Please be careful guys. God bless read more

Updating a review on my nails. My nails have grown back a bit better but I definitely have damage to my nails - they have grown thick bumps from the aggressive filing. I hope my nails make a full recovery and this doesn't affect them forever read more

Snappy Nails lives up to its name by delivering a quick and efficient nail experience. I've found that I can pop in for a fill and be in and out in no time.

The staff seems less rushed, ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable nail appointment. So, for a snappy and hassle-free nail treatment, Snappy Nails is the go-to spot - just make sure to pick the right day for a truly tranquil experience.

I got exactly what I asked for, gel manicure and spa pedicure. This is a small shop in a strip mall, but they greet you as soon as you come in and they were very quick, but paid attention to detail. Look at my before & after photo! read more

I got my nails done last Wednesday by Monday they had these bubbles in it. I told them I had just gotten done. They said they would redo it. So they did but the lady was rude and was talking about me. I switched the color thinking it was old polish but once again 3 days later there were bubbles in it. So frustrating. read more

Snappy Nails - Weird bubbles in the polish after 3 days . - Nail Salons Near Me - Cathedral City, California

My bad Snappy Nails experience First of all the male that did my nails put some curved nails on me, those were not the ones I wanted, cause usually i get my nails pretty long. Then I showed him two pictures of the designs I wanted and asked him which one would be easiest for him. While he was doing the design he had to redo the design 4 TIMES!! I was already frustrated with the service so far so I just told him to just put a coat of polish so I can get going. Then he proceeds to try 2 more times! Then he says "okay I'll just put a coat of polish" then I was so frustrated that I didn't leave him a tip and don't regret it. So basically I left the salon with a super basic nails. I hope you guys don't make the same mistakes I did and take a chance with this place, please don't give this place a chance. Overall this place was such a bad experience... read more

my mother and I've been going to Jane. She's one of the manicurist there we like her. She always does her nails great and it's convenient to to my house and she's always really good to my mom because I senior citizen read more

So rude! Don't greet people and just ignore them. They also talk bad about you in their language thinking you won't understand!

These photos are after having a spa pedicure done. She didn't clean any dead skin on the sides. On my pinky toe she left the nail just hanging off instead of cutting it. She had gloves on while she did my pedicure and then touched another clients foot and sandals, then money and still kept on working on my feet with the same gloves. Very unsanitary. I still paid but obviously left no tip. I let the front desk guy know (Kenny) and all he said was "tell her so she can fix it". They definitely don't care about doing quality work. They just want to be paid for the horrible service they give you. My mom also got a pedicure by a different lady, I am adding a photo of her pinky toe as well. They left nail polish on her skin and didn't bother cleaning it up afterwards. read more

Had made appointment, once there the technician Linda seemed to have forgotten. Finally start getting my nails done and technician was rushing so much that she cut me.

Cheap prices dont be fooled they will up sell on what kind of polish you have on and services will make you thunk your not paying enough!!! Go to shopping ctr across the street CT Nails they are very very nice and professional and pleasant!!! read more

I see a lot of different comments on here so let me give everyone a summary since I've been coming here for years. -try to always make an appointment -the man in the front desk is kinda rude sometimes but the girls aren't. -try to get an appointment with Jen, Vanessa, Linda because they're really sweet and always do a really good job. read more

I am beyond disappointed, and this isn't my first time here. I have coffin style nails, very obvious. They cut down my nails and they are uneven, they look like a blob, no shape. There are pinholes from escaped air, and I even have an air pocket under the polish on 8/10 nails. And they are no longer coffin shape. I will never be back, except maybe for a refund read more

Horrible customer service! 1st the man named kevin he has tattoos on both arms was extremly rude the moment I said I did not want gel. He flat out told me my nails were "NO GOOD"because I didnt have gel. Normally I go to Angels nail salon in Indio (760) 775-6844 because they are extremly sweet and have wonderful customer service and do so much more for the same price but sadly I was on a time crunch. Once it was time for me to pay he didn't even want to ring me out so I just stood there for a few moments he finally huffed all the way to the register as if I was the biggest inconveinence to him. I can say my nails look nice but his attitude was EXTREMLY uncalled for and was disgusting you can't treat customers like that. Ive never felt more uncomfortable in my life and Needless to say I wont be going back. read more

Not at all a recommendation! Understaffed and horrible communication. I went in with a friend and we said we were together, but they seperated us. Started on my friend 1st then started on my toes as soon as my friend was almost done. Then I had to het acrylics and was scolded for not saying anything about have dip on my nails. The lady said 20 mins and started on another pedi. I personally took off the dip. Then sat for another 20 mins waiting for someone to start. After all said and done I spent 3 hours there and charged 83 for a pedi and acrylics. My nails came out horrible. Do not go!!! The gave me issues on everything I asked for and didn't offer any good customer service. Very rude, rediculous pricing, horrible product and service. read more

I've tried several nail salons in Cat City and Palm Springs and have been consistently disappointed with the manicures and pedicures and attitude. I agree with a previous review that the man at the front is rude and frankly dishonest (tried to tell me my 9am appointment for today was actually yesterday, however that was impossible since I made the appointment in person yesterday at 1p!), however if you get past that, the female operators are wonderful and pleasant and do a great job. I do recommend making an appointment. I've found an operator I like and will now use her all the time. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. First off, state board REALLY needs to pay this place a visit. Nothing is properly sanitized. I watched as one nail tech clipped a woman's toe nails and then clipped another woman's nails with the same clippers about 2 mins later. Then the same woman used them on another woman's feet within 20min these same clippers were used on 3 separate people. Not once was the tool cleaned. I was appalled. Second, the manicures are awful. Nails were uneven, nail polish was full of bubbles and it lasted all of 3 days. I was told it would be a 5 minute wait. I got seen 40min later. I would have left, but I figured it would take me time to drive to another salon. Looking back, I should have ran out of there! Never again. Check yelp before visiting this place. read more

This is my to go to nail salon. Nothing fancy here. Most,if not all of them,can do the job. Make an appt coz they are always busy. Price is fair I think. Very basic which is all I need. Sorry I can't tell anything about fake nails. I never had one done. read more

Snappy Nails - How my pedi cure looks - Nail Salons Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Been going here for YEARS, just like any other business sometimes it's busy if you don't have an appointment you'll wait longer. If you have an appointment it's just a general guideline not exact. You can let them know if you only have 1 hour and they will tell you if they can get you done in time. I love this salon, KENNY IS THE NAIL KING! read more

I went in for a pedicure and an eyebrow wax today with Vanessa. She was so sweet, she did a great job on my feet, and also with my eyebrows. Overall my experience at Snappy Nails was great love this place I will continue to come here to get my nails done. read more

Well the service is okay, my sister in law and I came in and waited about 15-20 minutes for us to get waxed. When we into the wax room is was small. In the room was a chair, a message table and their wax station there just enough for someone to sit down and the wax lady to walk around. If there is no room why have a chair for someone to sit? Well anyways, the lady did a good job when she was all said and done but the process of getting it done was a different story. She didn't apply pressure after removing the wax from our skin so we had the worst pain. She had the worst habit of double dipping the same stick so we had a mix of cold and warm wax. Pleasant experience right? Lol nope we left with our skins red but our eyebrows on fleek. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! I don't write many reviews and when I do they are positive, but this place did a terrible job. Atleast 4 nails came off my daughter's hands within the first few days. I called to let them know the issue, they said come in. When we went in they were rude and dismissive, than told me I'd have to pay. I can't believe they can do shotty work and than try to make you pay for it. Do not waste your time or money in this establishment. read more

Called for 2 pedicures, was told they could take us in 30 minutes. We waited 30 minutes then drove over. When we arrived we were told we would still have to wait, as if he had forgotten we just called and were given a wait time...we weren't interested in waiting another 30 minutes so we left. Very unprofessional and disappointing. read more

Decent pedicure. Not a high end salon. Could use fresh coat paint and some freshening up. Average but not bad service

Made an appointment for 1:30 pm and checked in few minutes later someone else comes in saying they have an appointment for 1:30 as well with the same person. show her the screenshot for appointment and tells me she meant to say 2:30 and to come back later. how do you make 2 appointments at the same time when you have a book for that. Very unprofessional! read more

$23 (not including tip) for a french set manicure. Went on a Saturday morning riiiight at opening to do a walk in. Didn't wait at all and my mani lasted from 9am - 10:30am. TIP: If you walk in any time after 10am, then expect to have to come back later in the day for an available walk in. They are ALWAYS busy. read more

Horrible customer service!! Went to get a full set and after a few hours I noticed that my nails were getting bubbles/clumps. Went back after a few days and arrived right when they opened. I explained why I was there and they quickly gave me an ugly look and were talking among themselves in there language. Had me standing there feeling awkward! Took a while till one of them decided to redo my nails. After she was done she simply said "there" then got up and walked away. That's not how you treat a regular customer if you ask me. After this I would not go back and do not recommend it to anyone!! read more

Worst experience ever $40 on full set nails that took 10-15 mins for them to break off a week later never again waste of money

I went for a fill and a new color. This is third nail that they would of fixed but I ran out of time. They still charged me full price and didn't care I was unhappy. I couldn't get my nails painted because she said that they couldn't paint glitter on your nails without seeing threw them. Since I had to go somewhere else I just paid my bill without tipping and let them know I wasn't coming back. read more

This place is horrible when it comes to customer service. I arrive and let him know that i want a pedicure and a full set and he's just staring at me not saying a word, akward! So i decide to sit down, he then tells me 30 min. Okay awesome. I'm waiting then a lady walks in and says she wants a set and he tells her to go over to nail technician. Wtf!!!!! Ive been waiting and you help this lady that had no appt . i was beyond pissed, i just got up and left . read more

this place has a lot of bad reviews, and I have always tried to avoid it because of it, but I decided to give it a try because I've had bad experiences in so many nail salons w even 4-5 stars. I walked in today and they took me in right away, it is true it is a bit awkward when you first walk in but riga woman came and told me to sit down, she got my pedicure started, I loved it. Then she told me to move to a chair where she did my acrylic set and I LOVED IT! I always stick to coffin nails, and so far from the many places I've gone to she is by far the BEST! Took her time shaping my nails and painting them, they are all even and perfectly shaped. I have never been this happy w the shape and the way my nails look. I'm not sure how the rest of the staff is but Vanessa is the BEST. And she is also very nice. Ask for Vanessa she is awesome:) read more

This is the worst place to get your nails done. They will rush you out and won't even give you what you asked for. The manager did my nails and he was terrible. I got my nails done a week and a half ago and told him I just wanted a fill and he removed them all even though that's not what I asked for charged me to remove them. He then charged me what they charge for long nails and mine barely pass my normal nail. This place isn't worth the time or money. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! If I could give no stars I would. read more

I went today with my Great Grandmother to get our nails done WITH an appointment. The salon was packed and while I was 15 min early waiting for my grandmother to arrive, they continued to take walk ins and promising people they would be seen shortly. By our appt time we had to wait another 10 min after my grandmother made it known that we were to be seen first considering we were not a walk in. After being sat and our nail service started there was no dialogue whatsoever between our nail tech and ourselves. Very impersonal and not enjoyable. I also got a pedicure and the massage part of it literally lasted 3 min. Paying $20 for a pedicure and getting next to nothing in return was pretty disappointing. Unfortunately I won't be returning. read more
