Tip Nails

I found this place on Unilocal and really needed my nails done. It was really quick and the women who did my nails was sweet. I’ll defiantly be back!

Stay as far away as possible from this place!
I almost had an anxiety attack they were SO unsanitary and not to mention RUDE!
I came here on a Sunday afternoon as a walk-​in because my normal nail place was closed and my gel manicure was peeling. I asked «Nick» for gel. He gave me a hard time about not having an appointment and «squeezing me in» but whatever, if you’re so busy, turn me away. It was only him and one other lady working.
He dunks my hands in a bowl of hot water, which turned out to be hot acetone, which made my eczema ridden hands sting. I tried pulling my hands out a bit but he pushed them back in and I told him to back off. Thanks a lot, they’re still super irritated and itchy ever since. He covered my hands in the bowl with a towel but the fumes were so awful and gave me a headache. I’ve always had my gel soaked off with cotton balls and foil just on the tips.
Once they had been soaking for 15 minutes while he finished up with someone else (way too long), he scraped off my old gel WITH HIS THUMBNAIL. EWwWWWwww!!! He hadn’t even washed his hands from working on the other lady with her nasty talons.
I also told him I did not want my nails filed down as I am trying to grown them out, but he basically told me I was an idiot for not filing them and that they’re all going to break anyway. He ended up filing them into an uneven square shape (he didn’t even ask what shape I wanted and they were rounded when I came in which I prefer) to which I and I finally pulled my hands away and told him NO MORE FILING. I was so ready to walk out of there but I’m not one for confrontation and prayed to the nail gods I didn’t get a disease.
Next, he starts buffing the sh*t out of the top of my nails (WHY?!) and then starts to paint them. I asked him if he was going to do my cuticles, and he goes «Oh you want gel MANICURE?! You didn’t say that!» and continued scolding me and rolling his eyes. He had the lady come over and do the manicure part which was just whatever and the lotion was cheap and she kept squirting alcohol all over them. She used the clippers to push down my cuticles before clipping them rather than an orange stick.
An old lady and her even older mom came in and asked for a pedicure. My nail lady left me and went over to get the pedicure started (BTW there are no spa chairs, just old school foot baths) — the lady’s daughter told her «she has toe fungus so be careful» and she started touching the lady’s fungus feet WITHOUT GLOVES. I also noticed she brought over the used buffer, cuticle clippers, and nail file she had just used on me to work on that lady (no sanitizing in between). The lady was like «Uh, you might want to use gloves.» I was in full panic attack mode that she would try to come back to work on my nails, but luckily she didn’t.
Nick finished painting (an attempting to AGAIN file my nails) with two extremely thin coats of gel. The red gel color is practically translucent. I didn’t even bother asking for a third coat because I just wanted to get the hell out of there.
$ 25 for a crappy manicure, my nails are way shorter than when I came in, and I might have a disease. I am reporting this place to the Cosmetology Board today as well. It was so disgusting and run down — it didn’t look like it had been mopped, wiped down (dust everywhere), or the mirrors cleaned in YEARS. I don’t know why I even set foot in there, and how it’s even possible they have ⁴⁄₅ stars.
STAY AWAY!!!

I recommend Mimi! she did almond shaped full set of acrylics on me today and I love them! I posted a picture on here as well so you can see her work ((I’m holding a Chanel bottle.)) I also had an amazing pedicure and sadly can’t remember my girls name. Every time I come here I am greeted with hellos and they are all great at what they do.

I’ve been coming here since 2008 on a friend’s recommendation and it’s always been a fantastic experience. Whether Linda or Nick do your nails, you’ll be very well taken care of. This isn’t anything high end or frilly but if you want a solid job done well on a new set of acrylics or fills, you’ll get just that.
They accept walk ins, you just have to be smart about when you go. You can’t walk in during a lunch hour or Saturday afternoon because that’s that best time for everyone else, too. At that point, definitely make an appointment. I’ve waited 30 minutes myself without an appointment, but when the job is that good, I gladly wait. It’s definitely worth it.

Inexpensive and they do a really great job. The 3 times I’ve come here I’ve been able to just walk right in without a wait.

This is the only place I will get my nails done at.
Fantastic prices, fantastic work too!
Ask for Kim, she’s amazing! She takes her time & does an outstanding pedi/​mani.
They are always busy because they have a HUGE loyal fan base, so make sure to make an appt ahead of time.

Pretty much all you need to know is that mani/​pedis are TWENTY DOLLARS and they take their time/​do a really thorough job.
Call in advance and make an appointment though because they’re always really busy, so they turn away walk-​ins sometimes.

I have called many times and gone in to try and get my nails done. I can never seem to get in. When I go in they tell me to go back in two or three hours because they are busy. If I call they don’t have appointments for the same day. I was offered an appointment for the following day. I just like this place because it seems to be cheaper than other places. One of the ladies there is rude when I go in. She has ignored me till I say something. I think they only have three people working there so it’s hard to get in. If you want to go to this place I would recommend making an appointment days in advance.

It was my first time here and I was extremely satisfied. I’ve never been there before and my friend decided to take me, she is a regular. Right when I walked in I was greeted and Linda started on my nails. She was very nice and light handed. Before I even knew it she was done, it was the quickest anyone has ever finished my nails so of course I was a tad bit nervous. After I looked down all my nerves went away, they looked great. She was done in 45 minutes and I had no complaints. Not only were they fast but they were also cheap, I only paid $ 20 when normally I would of paid $ 30-​$ 40. Another thing that stood out to me was I asked for gel and she told me that I didn’t need it and to save my money, now that is unheard of in a nail salon. Normally they want you to get everything but not this place. All in all I had a wonderful experience and I will definitely be coming back!

Needed to get my nails done before my trip & I was very limited on the time I had. The ladies were friendly and welcomed me right in. Within 30 minutes I had my nails done and they were inexpensive. I got a gel manicure for $ 16.

Walked in, looked like a shack compared to a majority of places I’ve been too. Service nice and typical. Very cheap.

I’ve know them since 1997, wouldn’t want anyone else do my nails! They offer great affordable services. I always get compliments on my nail and toe designs.

Fast, friendly and inexpensive. Sure, the décor isn’t necessarily up to date, but who really cares about the décor when the prices and service are up to standards.

Good customer service. They did a good job on my gel manicure, and regular pedicure. It’s kinda messy in there, and the shopping center seems shady and unsafe around there.

The ladies here are really nice and the place has a friendly atmosphere overall. In addition to that, the price is great! I came in for a regular french manicure, and ended up getting a gel french manicure (photo uploaded), which came out to be $ 23 + tip. (They use Gelish gel polish, which I heard is one of the better brands.)
They do try to [subtly?] offer you other of their services (I asked for a manicure, and someone asked if I wanted a pedicure as well. And Kim did ask me if I wanted eyebrow waxing.) I declined both services (I didn’t need it). It was nice that they weren’t pushy nor did they make me uncomfortable.
Kim did my nails, and she was really bubbly and friendly. She was very willing to answer questions (I asked her what acrylic white tips were because I never had them before, and they looked so good on other people!). She said I didn’t need them, and that with my nails, gel nails would do the same thing. Yup, I had gel before and I loved it. How can I say no when she asked me if I wanted to upgrade? Lol.
The only problem (–1 star) I had was: all the nails on my right hand came out perfect, but the nails on my left ring finger and my left middle finger wasn’t smooth. The picture I uploaded is of my left hand (I needed the other hand to take the picture…), which you can probably see the imperfection. Overall, it is barely noticeable so to me it wasn’t a big deal.
I’m assuming because of the price, don’t expect fancy lotioned hand massages (they really do just get to the point). The most I got was cuticle oil for moisturizer (good enough). But I didn’t come for the massage, and my nails came out nice for a good price + my cuticles were not annihilated. Would definitely come back. :) I’m optimistic about this place.

Very good deal. My wife and three daughters got the manicure and pedicure deals. I think it was $ 20 for both per person.
It’s a small place and it was full when we arrived. We came back in an hour an they started taking one at a time. All in all, it was only about an hour and a half total salon time.
The people are very friendly and service oriented. The job they did was exceptional, according to my wife and daughters. This was a special treat for them.

This is an old school nail salon… not a salon filled with spa chairs. The ladies working on Mothers Day were very sweet and did a wonderful job. Prices are super affordable. Call to make an appt just to be safe, they are pretty popular.

This place is definitely not fancy, but they get the job done. It’s in a quiet shopping center off of Orangethorpe.
I was very satisfied with the price: I got a pedicure for $ 12 plus $ 4 for a design.
They offer a hefty discount for a full set/​fills for high school students with an ID, so that’s pretty cool (too bad I’m in college now!).
Definitely recommend this nail salon for girls on a budget!

No frills… basic mani/​pedi, but it’s only $ 20 and the ladies are really nice

These other reviews are bad geez… well it doesn’t look as fancy as other nail salons, but then again they charge half of what the others charge for the same thing. Mani/​pedi for $ 20 with designs and french polish? That would cost like eighty at Happy Nails or Queen Nails. And they do great nail art, I always go there before raves to get cool stuff because they speak English really well and are very nice, and have a huge board of designs. Who cares if it doesn’t look nice if you’re nails do? Superficial people…
