I went in for a pedicure. First the lady at the front was brusque and not welcoming. They were not busy though there were a few customers. I wasn't asked if there was any specific kind of pedicure I wanted but that's fine. She brought me some magazines to read. Thought that was nice but strange but thought it would keep me off my phone. It seemed like things were going well. Tone wise it seemed normal massage was ok. I think I was there 30 minutes and didn't think anything of it gave her a $10 tip for the inconvenience of paying it all with a credit card. Ok now I'm sorry but if you take cards the tips should be fine on the card but they straight up asked for cash. Now don't come for me but this type of business is getting away with so much unclaimed money and to literally be bold enough to ask well just on that principle alone I wouldn't go back. When I got home and inspected my toes it was horrible!!! Nail polish outside the nail, the coverage was spotty the nails weren't even clipped and filed evenly. I could have done better and the whole idea is I didn't want to do it myself. I think my 5 year old self could do better. Going away for a nice weekend and my toes look like crap and my heels were rough because she didn't smooth them out well. Needless to say I won't be back and I hope no one goes there either. I live in a very large community and I will be telling everyone here. read more

TLC Nails - It's hard to see especially with the color but the toes don't look like I just got a pedicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Worst nail salon ever. The woman who gave my pedicure was awful. She wasn't looking she was more interested in other conversations paid no attention, nails uneven, nails not cut short, it was the worst experience ever, took maybe 20 minutes. Do not go here read more

I went in for a gel pedicure the first time about 1 months ago and my experience was just ok. The lady was nice enough for not speaking much English but the pedicure was nothing special and the gel color they use must be old because it did not last even a week and also the colors don't match with what they look like in the book. I paid $39.00 for the service minus gratuity I decided to give it another try this past Tuesday and it was even worse this time. When I walked in, the gentleman told me to wait to see if maybe he could take me. So after 15 minutes, he let me know that he would be able to take me . The lady Coco who did my pedicure was rude and in a hurry. Massage was less then a minute ( both legs and feet) The color I chose in the book did not match the color she applied. Even though it was the same number it did not look the same once it was applied. Instead of removing the bad color, she tried to cover it with other colors that were chosen, but either that particular polish was old and too watery or would not cover. Finally found one that worked and I was just very eager to get out of there, especially once the lady started huffing and and was complaining that she's running out of time. When I went to pay, they overcharged me stating that they were charging me for taking off the old which to be honest was literally two toes because it had peeled off from the first time I went there. I spoke with the owner's who was also rude and basically just said that they charge for that and that's the first time I've ever had to pay anywhere for moving the gel when you're getting a pedicure. I understand that there's a separate service if you go in there and just want the gel removed, but I have never experienced that at any salon where you go and they charge you extra to remove it when you're getting a pedicure. In any case I will never be going back there again it's totally not worth it. It's not the cleanest place and also they don't have a very good selection of colors. read more

Worst place I've ever been. They totally ruined my nails. I had my nails done in Canada and wanted a refill. I wanted them clear. I ended up with clear in some spots, but a white powder buildup in other spots and bumps all over the place and she didn't fill in to the cuticle. When I showed the girl how bumpy they were and rough, she said she could take them off. Well, I just paid to have them put on nine days before. However, my husband even commented on how bad they looked so I went back the next day. She (Coco) was mad that I was back and didn't bother to soak off the nails but tried to grind them off. In the end she said that it was way past her leaving time and she couldn't do anymore. So I now have nails that have some acrylic on and some off. My nails are now totally wrecked, look bumpy with ridges, and have they been breaking all over the place. I just booked an appointment with the number one rated salon in the area and hopefully they can take off the remaining acrylic and fix them. I would definitely not recommend them nor would I ever go back. read more

My friend and I went for mani/pedi's on Friday. On Sunday morning my gel mani was falling apart. So I called and made an appt on Monday. I was pleasantly surprised by how kind Maggie was. She re did my gel nails and changed my toe polish. When I went to pay, She smiled and said no charge. Wow! And she was so sweet! So I'll go back here and have my mani/pedi's. It's not the great work that sets them apart but how they handle a situation like mine. They get an A- (The only reason I did 4 stars is because I had to go back a few days later) read more

Very clean! Nice techs. Taking one star off as they only accept cash tips. I like Coco!

Been going here for years It's very clean and you will feel safe here Never had a problem and Amy has been great. Friends use Veronica ..the owner ..and love her but she does charge more Dale read more

Nail salon is short handed with people. I came there for eyebrow waxing and they said come back later or tomorrow. Very inconvenient that I have to come back again and they can't accommodate me when I arrive. This happened to be twice when I wanted my eyebrows waxed. read more

I left this business once before because the woman that did my nails said stuff to me tofor example, you didn't schedule enough time, I don't have enough time for you and taking walk-ins just before my appt making me the wicked witch. Started there again after several months with a new tech and have been happy until today. I called on Thursday to schedule an appointment for Saturday. The woman said twice to me today, meaning Thursday and I said no Saturday. I walked in today to be told my appt was yesterday. There was no offer of waiting nor squeezing me in. I said to the owner twice, you are loosing a customer. She ignored me and I just stood there, she said she couldn't do anything and I told her I knew she was the owner and she said what do you want me to do? I will never come back here, refer them nor let my husband use their services. read more

I'm giving 3 stars for the excellent service from the ladies that gave me the perfect mani pedi for $35! However, it is a bit concerning to me that the wife of the owner, Veronica, provides the SAME service of the SAME quality for $5 up charge (separate pricing chart posted on her station). Although I appreciate my experience, I cannot support a business that does not provide equality and fairness to their employees. And I hope customers will consider this before giving them your business. Also, please note that they do not allow adding a tip from a debit/credit card. PLEASE DISCLOSE THIS UPON ENTRY- it is the least you can do. If the owner has the chance to read this- please consider running your internal business properly. You will lose customers that do not respect your ethic. read more

I had a pedicure and manicure. Nothing was done to my heels to get rid of the dry dead skin and my nails weren't shaped during the manicure. Very disappointed. Won't go back. read more

I have been going to TCL Nails for a decade and love the pedicures from Amy, who is always gracious and friendly, besides doing careful beautiful work on my toes and feet. I have observed a number of sanitized procedures executed on their equipment and tools every time. Another good manicurist and pedicurist, according to a friend, is Tammy. Yes, the owner/scheduler/greeter is not very "friendly", just business-like and efficient, but I can take that if I like the staff and the quality of work there. And, this salon also has a full-time barber and a full-service hair stylist. Prices are quite reasonable so I keep going back for all of the above reasons. read more

After a disaster of a visit to a nail salon this morning across the street for pedicures, we came to TLC to have our manicures done. Clean, friendly, fast and so beautifully done. Added bonus: the cost for gel removal here is $3 The cost for gel removal across the street $8 We will be back Thanks!! read more

They do not have sterilized equipment. You can't add a tip to your debit card. Cash only???? They don't include callus scraping. There is no sanitizer in the foot wells. I have no idea why some one would go back? Maybe because it is only $20.00 for a pedicure? I will keep on looking for a nail shop" in north Indio. read more

Rude(especially the owner), dirty salon, not sterilization, overall bad mani-pedi! You know what to do!

Loved my pedicure with Veronica! Would recommend this nail salon. The salon is very clean and they put your implements in a baggie that you take with you and bring back for your next appointment. read more

I don't yell racism often but in this case I will this time. I went to get my cuticles done and waited an hour without service. The owner approached me to find out what I was there for and I told him. I sat there for another forty five minutes up until closing time without anyone helping me so I just left. I called them as soon as I left and I was told that they thought I was there waiting on someone. I'm a middle age black man and the rest of the customers were older white women. They white people were attended to without any hesitation, even the walk ins that came in after me. It's not a good feeling being discriminated against by anyone but the Asians working at that nail shop are racist. If you're not white, don't expect to get served! read more

Don't go...so rude, rushed and did a bad job. Went in for a mani pedi and wish I hadn't. What bothered me was the salon and equipment looked dirty...yuck! read more

Nice salon with friendly staff. Pedicure ($19) in great, comfy massage chair. A great way to relax.

RUDE! I walked in not greeted with a smile that's for sure, man asked what I needed; sign outside says "WALK-INS WELCOME", well not true. They were not that busy and I asked for a fill and he said "YOU COME BACK TOMORROW!" Dude seriously I am here today not tomorrow--I walked out. I will never go back and he is supposed to cater to the Shadow Hills cliental? Well not with that attitude. NO TY read more
