This place is terrible. They make it awkward about tipping because they don't have a line for tip on the credit machine, the owner is not polite at all and the last time I went in there he was actually arguing with a customer who had a valid complaint. People are paying for a service and if the service is not good, they should not have to be awkwardly forced into paying a tip, plus the best bet is to go with the old saying "the customer is always right" and not argue with people who are wanting to spend their money in your establishment. Not to mention I had a gel manicure, and not even a week later they are chipped and completely lifting. Gel manicures have the potential to last a month if done correctly. Needless to say I won't be wasting my money in VIP nail bar again. read more

Paid extra for calluses remover, the lady didn't even scrub my foot my feet are still not soft and I'm only 21 years old I don't even have calluses. Just poor service the lady was nice don't get me wrong and the guy doing my nails critiqued everything he did and my nail was crooked told him to fix it but still would say it's the "powder " whatever that means. Go somewhere else and I'm a very easy pleased gal. read more

Frost time coming here , and it was amazing had my little me time! Did my feet and eyebrows! Thank you very much

THIS IS NOT A JOKE! This is really how my nails were cut... they did not arrive this way lol they cut them down like this. Was pressured into getting the more expensive pedicure (because the owner literally forces them to upsale) and didn't even get my feet rubbed. Basically got my calves jacked off for 7 minutes. Owner is weeeeeeird and bully's staff and customers-- used to be owner of M Nails has all new staff and is now the owner of VIP.. more like POS. read more

I had a great experience with Jenny. She is a great nail technician and pretty fast for what a great job she did. She made sure to let me know the cat eye polish I choose was going to cost a little more. Which I really appreciated because normally they just tell you at the end when you go to pay. I will be revisiting the super chic, clean nail shop. read more

Pros: looks like a nice and upscale salon in the middle of nowhere Cons: I came in at 5 and didn't end up leaving until 8. They kept passing me around to different stylists. I know for a fact there was people that came after me that left. 2) I can tell the owner spoke to me and said that they "can squeeze me in". No if you're busy that's fine but it's not worth waiting around for hours just to do my nails . It was the day before Christmas Eve but still. Next time , I'll walk out . 3) my gel polish is chipping. I've never had that happened to me before ever!! Gel is not supposed to chip!! Plus I think they're overpriced for basic service . I had 3 different people do my nails ! I'm never going back , the other salons I was going to go to we're busy . But like I said the owner said "we can take you ". That's should've been a sign. read more

My nails always turn out wonderful! Even when they are busy, I don't feel as if they rush me out, instead I feel like they really care that my experience is a wonderful one! My nails turn out wonderful and out of all the salons I have gotten gel at- this gel actually last and looks good 2-3 weeks later! The salon is clean and the staff is very friendly! Thanks for my amazing nails! read more

First time trying this place out because our usual place was booked. I received white tip nails and my daughter received full set with design. We spent like 50% more than we usually would for same thing up the street and they did a terrible job on my daughters paint job. And to top it off. Almost all of her nail set fell off! When I called a week later regarding issues. The manager Bill told me he would talk to the person who did her nails and would fix issue and to call tomorrow. I called next day and he said I'm busy and hung up me! I called again 3 hours later with no answer... Extremely disappointed with their services and customer service....won't be coming here again... read more

Sadly I just read a review that does not reflect Cindy or any of the VIP nail bar staff. I happened to be in the salon when this event occurred and at the time the events were unfolding I kept asking myself where are these girls parents? These two should have never been in there without an adult. The primary client just could not be satisfied, if was close to closing time and I for one was anxious to get my own nail done. The accusations that the staff did not wear masks is completely untrue, even prior to Covid they wore masks! They are all very cognizant of the issues at hand. They NEVER have served "Moimsa's" or any other alcoholic beverage, strictly sealed bottled water is offered. It appears to this client that the young ladies went home and complained to their mother and without even calling the salon to question their complaints she chose to take her rant to Yelp. These women work very hard and long hours. They have been out of work for several months and are scrambling to keep they clientele they have worked so hard to create. This mother owes them an apology for her rude daughter's behavior. Oh, did I mention they left the salon without even paying for the services rendered! Unthinkable behavior, what is this mother teaching her young daughters? Stay strong VIP Nail Bar, you guys are the best. read more

I really wish I liked this place because it is so convenient being next to the car wash. I love to drop my car off to get cleaned and spend my waiting time getting a mani/pedi but the service and quality is just awful. I was there about a month ago... my manicure and pedicure were absolutely awful. Everything was painful, from the removal of the gel polish To my manicure. The filing tool burned me multiple times and even though I expressed discomfort she continued to file my gel nails polish off and didn't slow down at all. The "exfoliating scrub" irritated my skin and when she was cutting the cuticles around my toe nails she cut me BAD. I was bleeding for the remainder of my pedicure and it hurt really bad and I was still charged $80 for a regular pedicure and gel manicure. I really wanted to give them a chance and decided to give them a try one more time thinking maybe it was just a bad day and hoping I would not get the same person as the last time. So I went again about a week ago, and it was just as bad if not worse. My nails don't look great, the polish isn't nice and this time she cut the corners of my nails and I've had redness and some swelling in the corner of my toe since the day I got it done. Once again it was $76 and the whole time I just feel rushed. Nothing about this place or their service made me feel relaxed. I upgraded the pedicure for a longer foot massage and there was no massage andThe water was cold most of the time. I will never go here again. Zero stars. read more

Not impressed. I walked in no one greeted me, instead I just had about 7 employees just stare at me uncomfortably until finally someone asked what service I wanted. The lady who did my pedicure was sweet and did a really good job so I decided to ask if I could do a gel polish change on my nails. Another woman shows up and gave me a stupid look for a good minute and then asked me how much I paid previously (not sure what that had to do it anything). She starts asking me other questions and speaking to another employee. This literally went on for a good 3 minutes. Why it took this long to tell me if she would do a simple polish change? I don't know, but she then tells me it's going to be 36 dollars to change the polish. At this point I'm so turned off by the service I have experienced that I decline. I like that they do dip and the place is clean but it's so incredibly unprofessional I just can't! Oh and I forgot to mention as I walked in an employee was sitting on the floor with her head on the pedicure chair sleep! read more

Never again!!!! My daughter and I walked in this morning, signed in and picked our colors. Waiting for about 15 minutes and got seated at a table. While waiting for someone to help us we noticed that people that came in after us (as walk ins also) were being helped while no one had helped us yet. Finally someone came to help my daughter (only my daughter mind you) she immediately said 3-5 more minutes while she helped someone that JUST WALKED IN!!! My daughter said "I think we should leave, they don't want to help us). So we did just that. THREE people that came in after us (all walk ins) were being helped BEFORE us! And we wanted 4 services! Immediately went over to Mindys nails and they helped us. This isn't the first time of bad service but the last time for us! read more

Went in for a much needed pedicure after quarantine time only to be told (as they started) that they can only do basic which should mean a normal pedicure, right? No backing out at that point. Foot scrubbed for 10 seconds per foot, lotion applied to each foot/leg in under 5 seconds, in and out of the salon in 25 minutes and this photo is the aftermath. Heels look worse than when I walked in, polish looks like my kindergartner did it. What an overall disaster. Never going back here again. read more

Vip Nail Bar - My $25 dollar pedicure. ‍ - Nail Salons Near Me - Yucaipa, California

Eh. The pedicure was super rushed, after he finished painting my nails with the top coat he literally started to put my shoes on. It was probably less than a minute between him finishing it and him scooting me out of the chair. I paid for the next step up for a longer massage but all that happened was a little lotion was applied to my legs. They were nowhere near full and I've never had a place not give my nails at least a few minutes to dry after painting them. I can make my nails look nice at home- I typically pay for a pedicure once or twice a year to enjoy the other services that come with the nail polish. They were nice, so I'm not just throwing a low ball 1 star. The part that annoyed me the most, though, was when I went to pay. They charge a $2 fee to pay with card. That is insane. I understand merchants pay fees to process cards but at this point most merchants have figured out that they need to just adjust their prices to compensate for their typical fees so that there isn't a surcharge. Especially at this point, when we've had *do not pay in cash* drilled into our society for over a year because of all the covid regulations. Many companies have signs saying they charge a $.25-.50 fee on transactions but I have never seen a place with one so high. If you look at the average transaction fee for a visa (what I used) they are not only recouping the fee they pay to process that transaction but made money off of me using my card. Also, card surcharges are illegal in CA if the company does not disclose it to you prior to you committing to pay for a service. The attorney general website pretty clearly states this. "if a merchant charges a credit or debit card surcharge or offers a cash discount, but does not fully disclose this to customers prior to their committing themselves to the goods or services, or if the merchant does not clearly explain its policies regarding debit and credit cards, the merchant may be violating California law." read more

First time here, trying to support local businesses. Took my daughter to get her toes painted. She now has in infection. Won't be back.

VIP Nails has been a good addition in Yucaipa. The place provides service to both men and women by appointment and on walk in basis. Location adds to facilitation of other services Next door you can have your car wash while getting a mani/pedi. Your car key is brought to you if your car is done before you or when you are done, most likely your car is done too. At VIP you can ask for the person you are most used to and they will oblige. The place is clean and well staffed. Best is to go with an appointment as they can get quite busy. read more

Nail technician was very rude. They pretend to not know English until it's time to ask for money. I won't be back. Would not recommend this shop. read more

Only place I'll go in Yucaipa! The best pedicures, and the first place to actually do my nails exactly how I wanted!

I was extremely disappointed with the service at this salon. I made an appointment and brought out of town family with me and was upset with the lack of acknowledgment once I entered the salon. All the workers ignored me as I walked in to show up for my appointment. Once I arrived on time for my appointment they told me I had to wait 30 mins not only was I waiting but 4 other customers were waiting with an appointment their wait time had been an hour. DO NOT COME HERE extremely rude and a waste of time. read more

This was my first time checking out VIP nail because my original nail salon was booked that day. When I walked in and saw how nice the place looked, I felt like I might have come to the right place! I came in with my sister and we both got pedicures. We each did the basic package with an added callus remover. My sister's nail technician started at least 5 min before I started mine. My nail technician was finished at least 5 min before my sister's was finished. Which made sense that it was rushed, because my feet felt rough. The roughest they've ever felt after a pedicure and my calluses weren't even bad! I get regular pedicures. I didn't get nail polish and he didn't buff my nails which now have that dingy look you get after removing nail polish. This was a quick, "we're busy, let's get this over with" experience. My sister had a nice experience her feet were extremely smooth and her feet were real rough when she came in. So the comparison between the two of us, was real obvious. Her nail technician took her time, mine did not. So my guess is that this place is hit or miss. And that's okay. It's like that most places. But what really got me was the terrible service I received. I normally don't say anything, I work in the service industry and respect people in this field and typically just let it go. But this time around I did say something, and I said it politely. My nail technician had already started with someone else so I said something to my sisters nail technician. Who in turn said something to the manager who looked at me and continued what he was doing. She then translated this message to my original nail technician. Who then looked at me and continued what he was doing. The polite lady asked me to wait. So I did for a bit before I realized no one was going to resolve this solution anytime soon. It was clear I had to wait til they were done with the new person they started, which means another 45 min. Which would have been nice if they had communicated that to me. However, once I realized they were going to have me wait another 45 min, I knew I'd be late to my appointment so I opted to leave. The manager didn't say anything, did not try to resolve the issue, did not care. And an employee said "oh, sorry" as I walked out. And this is why I'm leaving a review. They did not execute the job, and did nothing to resolve the issue. So I'm out $32. read more

I was very disappointed with the entire vibe of the salon! it felt very much like the owner was over working his staff and felt almost like I was partaking in a sweatshop. The owner or manager whoever he was continuously walked around and asked what services everyone was receiving, making me feel less like a client and more like a product. Prices were also very high and I just can't come to terms with paying to participate in the back breaking and unfair treatment of his staff just to line his pockets! For me it's a no! and I will never return! read more

Saturday was my 3rd time for a pedicure. I had a horrible job, she never filed my nails, no hot towel or massage but the worst part is she cut into all corners of my big toe nails and made me bleed. Worst experience ever... don't even want to go back there. Pics are 2 days after pedicure read more

Absolutely the best! Always very clean. Sanitize constantly. Amazing customer service.

This was my first time here, I called and they told me to go at 2pm. I got there and they got me waiting for like 30 min. Finally they told I was next, my nails came out alright, but the lady that did my nails had residue from another nail polish, I'm guessing from the previous client and she left purple leftovers around some of my fingers. Also I think they overcharge, they charged $50 for this short nails. Like I said it was alright, but I don't think I'll go again read more

Clean nail salon . The manager performed my pedicure and my feet feel like baby feet. I love it! Sai did my manicure and built up my paper thin nails that were damaged by a previous shop. I am absolutely thrilled with the end result. I plan on adding My own embellishments when I get home . I don't expect the shop to have the beads and crystals to finish the look . The communication is a bit crazy and my only complaint is the consultation is non existent read more

I understand its crappy having to do things outside but when they paint your nails like shit and don't even care i will never go back there. They said it was $10 just to paint our nails no pedicure and then changed us $12 and were rude as hell and asked us if we understood and we walked away, not worth arguing with people who will never get my business again . read more

If I could leave stars I would. Worst full set I've had. They were super rushed. I asked for almond shaped nails and they look like fat almonds. Customer service was terrible. I walked in and asked the guy how he was to be cut off to ask to sign in. He told me to sit down and a lady started my nails. Filed mine then glued the acrylics, then was left for 15 minutes while she finished someone else. After she painted, I told her my thumb needed fixed, she told me she would fix it and didn't. I'm going to have my nails my nails fixed somewhere else. read more
