    Horrible
    Bianca R.

    I feel really bad giving this review but I have to look out for you ladies because the audacity to let me walk out of their nail salon looking like this. Never in my entire life have I ever had a nail tech make my nails look like this. I still paid because I felt so bad but I paid $66. Please save yourself the anxiety and do not come here. I was embarrassed to go home, I was ashamed to show my partner my nails. Never again.

    This shows both my thumb and index finger.

    I went to VIP to celebrate my birthday on March 30 by getting a manicure and a pedicure. The woman who gave me both was very nice. The manager or owner of the shop, I'm not sure what his position was other than he organized and seemed to be in charge of the shop. I guess the woman doing my pedicure and was now working on my manicure was running behind so he also worked on my nails. He was a little rough with my hand as he held it while sitting in a chair beside me. The woman must have cut my thumb and index finger cuticles too short because they were very red, and swollen after my manicure and my pedicure were done. i paid them both a good tip and I was very pleasant during their work. Afterwards my index finger was very swollen at the cuticle and was very red. I went to a doctor who put me on antibiotics as it looked infected and was very sore to touch, but two courses of antibiotics didn't help. Because it was a Nail salon the doctor then put me on a course of anti fungal medication which also didn't help. The cuticles on both fingers remained red and swollen. I went out of town as I was moving and did not contact the manager of the shop. I also felt like he would not have been helpful. Unfortunately my nails grew in distorted, misshaped and are both lifting from the nail bed. I have taken photos and would like to share them but do not see a place to upload them. My nails have grown in AWFUL!! I am very upset! I feel they did not take care of my nails and cut them far too much at the cuticle and distorted the nail bed at the matrix where the nail initiates growth. I thought they were professional enough to recognize that they had made a mistake and to tell me how to take care of them but I was very wrong! My nails are so ugly that I can't stand looking at them and have decided to get acrylic nails until by nails grow out. Thank you for reading. I do not support and tell you to avoid VIP Nail Bar on Yucaipa Blvd, in Yucaipa, CA.

    Honestly, my entire experience was bad. The owner (I'm assuming) did my nails. I made an appointment over the phone for a soak off and gel manicure, but he didn't soak my nails off, he drilled the product off and filed my nails pretty thin. I had to ask to get my nails reshaped 3 times because they were all crooked. Then after he tells me he won't do gel on my nails because they're too thin, so I start looking at regular polishes. The display nails are covered in tape so the colors are hard to see, so I asked him if I could see the colors and he got irritated with me. When I asked for a price for gel at first he said $50, then regular he said $40, but then when I wanted no color at all and just the soak off, he said $35!! But then he said the $35 includes color and he can't charge me less for no color?? So I ended up getting black. He wouldn't wait for my nails to dry and wanted to get my wallet out of my pocket for me, but I declined and told him I'll wait. He pat my nails dry quickly and rushed me out the door- just for me to realize they got messed up when pat dry. Overall very irritated with his attitude the entire time, the price changes, & the quality of my nails. Will be getting them redone and fixed somewhere else tomorrow :( took an hour and 40 mins for a regular manicure.

    I recently gave Lin at VIP Nail Bar a 5 star review because she does an Excellent pedicure. Unfortunately, the last time I went back I didn't have an appointment and it was going to be an hour so I made an appointment for the next day. I showed up on time only to be asked to be seated and wait. I looked over to what Lin was doing and she just started clipping nails on a pedicure. I waited for 30 minutes and the manager never acknowledged me again, in fact he would even look my way. I got up walked over to him and asked him if he was the owner or manager and he said manager. I asked why he took the walk before me and he said because people get mad or leave if they have to wait. Really!?Isn't it worse for an appointment to have to wait over a walk in? Again, I was right on time. I asked him to show me his appointment book and he didn't have one! He got very upset with me even though I was just asking questions and said I didn't have to get my pedicures there. Too bad because Lin is really good if I could just get in with her . Because of the manager (don't know his name but he's the only one) I will not be returning there. If the owner is reading this... please get another manager, your sales would sky rocket if you just had a good appointment system.

    Clean work

    I enjoyed my manicure' it relieved stress from my hands and I'am completely satisfied with my nails. Thank you and God BLESS you all.

    They lied about wait time, the owner and Jenny were rude and full of themselves. Even though I gave them both pretty good tips, I would never go here again!! My nails are crooked and lumpy. I would get it if it was busy but by the time Jenny was doing my powder dip, there were no customers. The worst part is, I payed the same price for a high class expensive place in Rancho that serves champagne and wine with excellent service for a half job, rude and unprofessional salon. I'm driving my butt from now on! They don't deserve your serves and they won't get mine ever again!

    Lynn did amazing on my nails. I went with a shorter square and she killed it I randomly started going here and I am so happy I did! Their customer service is excellent and you feel like they genuinely care about their customers. Conversations can be heard around the salon and everyone is super comfortable there. I am now a regular and get a different nail tech each time, but every time they do amazing ! I never have any issues.

    Paints them perfect!

    Helen is awesome! She does my nails how I want them, not how others do whatever they want. She makes sure I like them and I'm happy. For me, It is important that she asks if I like them. I recommend if you are a picky person as I am. This is the first time in 20 years that I found someone like her. I hope she never leaves.

    Cindy did a fabulous job on my new set of acrylics. I am very pleased. Thank you Cindy!

    Nice, clean, quiet and calm place for a pedicure.

    NOT HONEST ABOUT WAIT TIMES He will tell you to "come in" and make you wait 90 minutes of your life you can't back. If you can take someone a business should just tell the customer.

We decided to try this place based on the good reviews, but we were misled. The pedicure was mediocre- minimal massage, and hardly any scrubbing the dead skin- and we didn't do the basic pedicure, we did one of the upgraded ones. She never asked if I wanted my toenails clipped. I usually just have the nails on my big toe filed but she cut them without asking and did so completely crooked. She also cut my nails when they only needed to be filed, and she cut them so short (especially the pinky) that when she filed them after clipping, she was filing that little nerve ending under my nail which was extremely painful. It is so sensitive and sore even 6 hours later. There's still dead skin around my nails, multiple nails with corners not fully painted, and before I left (after paying) I had to ask her to finish my thumb because the nail was sticky to the touch and did not have the topcoat/sealant. My mom had a fill done. I don't have photos of hers but a couple of her nails are all bumpy and one has a scratchy edge. Not sure what happened here but do not be fooled by the five star reviews.

I had been sitting for 2 hours already and couldn't wait to just leave so I didn't even say anything .

My boyfriend asked me why I did my own toes since I was at the salon for so long and when I told him it wasn't me he started laughing at me and said " They for you " . My nail beds are in pain from all rough handling, my cuticles are throbbing from all the cuts. And the kicker is they never even once offered me a cup Of water , yet their whole thing is complimentary , Coffe , juice , tea , etc. they offered it to other customers, even some husbands, but not to me.. it was my first time there I was very polite, didn't ask for anything to be fixed, didn't complain , I don't understand why they didn't offer me a cup of water . After 1.5 hours there and seeing everyone else offered drinks , I did say I would like an iced coffee to my nail tech and she ignored me like she ignored the picture of the nail shape and style I wanted LMAO. First time in my life I did not leave a tip and I was still Going to buy the owner said tips are only cash and was pointing for me to go get cash from his little ATM machine so he could make money off of the ATM charges . So I said u know what that's enough . Yuicapa wake up !! They're literally laughing at your faces. I'm not from here and see what's going on , this would not be acceptable anywhere else.

First, I felt like the nail techs were rushing through the appointment. While removing my previous acrylic, my real nail was lifted/cut to the point that it started bleeding and burning. Even after the new acrylic was applied, my finger was still hurting. I showed the nail tech a picture of exactly what I wanted, including the shape, color, and design. Unfortunately, my nails came out looking nothing like the picture. The shape was wrong, the color was completely different, and the white tip was not done the way I specifically requested. One person did my nails while another person painted them. I showed the second nail tech the colors I wanted and explained exactly how I wanted the white tip. She attempted the tip several times, but it continued to come out differently than what I had asked for. Eventually, I got so frustrated that I just told her, "Just leave it like that." At that point, I had to explain to both nail techs that this was not what I had asked for and also address how much my finger was hurting from my real nail being lifted/cut. I was simply told, "Sorry," and was offered to pay half of the price, which was $25. Honestly, I feel like I shouldn't have had to pay anything, considering the experience and the condition of my finger. However, I still paid the $25. I'm not someone who likes to complain or post negative reviews, but I feel like customers deserve to get what they ask for--especially when they provide a picture beforehand. As you can see in the last picture, what I wanted and what I actually received are completely different. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. I've noticed they always seem to be in such a rush, and today was enough for me. Very disappointed with the entire experience. The last picture is what I asked for!!! As you can see nothing similarly!
