Lovely Nails & Spa

So nice and great service! Jennifer stayed after they closed to finish my nails. Not only did she stay later but she did a thorough job, took her time and didn’t rush! I recommend this salon!

This is now my go to place to get all of my gel manicures! The ladies are super nice and since I started getting them done here they’ve grown long and healthy (unlike at other nail shops) totally recommend this place!

Do not come here. I came to have waxing done on my face for a photo shoot Nancy was my technician I left the salon with the sunburnt feeling on my face and woke up the next morning with two areas where she had completely peeled my skin raw. The owner Brandon is a really horrible person he made me drive all the way from orange county with the expectations of fixing my problem instead he says what do you want me to do for you now that was not the answer I wanted to hear. he would not give me his insurance information I feel this is a bad establishment and it’s very obvious that the shop is empty now I know why. now I have 2 scars on my lower face. Nancy started yelling at me when I came in the store and started talking with the owner interrupting our conversation and being very rude she started yelling at me when she was the one that damaged my face. take your money elsewhere I am going to call the Better Business Bureau on these people. my true rating is –5

The ladies are very friendly and nice. I did gel nail and it was perfect. She did my nail exactly how I wanted. I will definetly come back here.

The people are nice but this is the worst manicure I’ve ever gotten. He didn’t even go over the nail all the way and he got the paint on my skin. Also, you can clearly see the topcoat where he didn’t cover the whole nail. I really could have done a better job at home. I was very disappointed.

Best spot for nails, facial, threading, and other beauty services. Lina and Lindsay are amazing.

This nail place was previously owned by another owner and they were terrible. My nails peeled the day I left. I was not satisfied. But, ever since the new owners took over, I’ve been pleased. I called one night about 15 mins before they closed and they still gladly took me in. They stayed until 8:00 p.m. when they closed at 7:00 p.m. just to finish my nails. He took his time and they came out beautifully. The new employees are very nice and are concerned with the customer’s satisfaction. I felt welcomed and I will definitely be returning. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a new nail salon.

good customer service, the chair massage was nice, they even give bottled water (which i didn’t take just because i dont need one). one girl pumiced the soles of my feet even when i told her not to because i’m so ticklish. the second time i came back, a guy did my nails and had a cuticle area bleeding, even put acetone on it after. YOUCHIE! he didn’t take care of an ingrown that’s obviously there. the color was painted past my nails and on my skin. his foot massage was not targeting a pressure point, it felt like he was pressing on nerves. they are nice, but i’ll try the other nails place on the other block.

This place is awesome. The attention to detail and customer service are great. Personally, being a man trying to get a manicure or a pedicure, I don’t regularly get good service and most places do just enough to get you in and out. Lovely nails takes their time and gives great massages. I normally go in when they open since I work close by and a manicure/​pedicure will take a little over an hour!

Today was my second time coming to this nail shop and I love it more and more each time I come. The staff is super friendly and the facility is very clean. They sterilize all equipment used on you.
The owner recently bought this shop and the reviews below are for the old owners.
Love this place!

I came here last week with a friend of mine because I wanted to get my nails done for a wedding. First thing we saw when we pulled up was the big sign on the front saying there was a change of ownership & that any services were 10% off.
As soon as we got inside, we were greeted by a man named Wallus, I believe, and were asked what services we wanted. It was pretty dead inside the shop. I wanted a mani & pedi (which was a total of $ 25, not too shabby.) I started choosing from the limited nail polish selection, which didn’t have too many pastels or nude colors. When I asked one of the workers to help me find the color I wanted, she picked out a color that was nothing close to what the picture showed. LOL like. Really?
Anyways, I don’t know the name of the lady I got to do my services, but she barely spoke any English. I had a picture of the nail polish and design I wanted, and she just kept nodding like she was trying to make it seem like she knew what I was saying even though she really didn’t. I even explained to the owner multiple times in more simpler & different ways to try and get it through to her what I wanted, but there was seemed to be a big lack of communication that I gave up near the end.
All in all, with the 8 little tiny studs I added altogether onto my big toes & with the 10% off, my total came out to be $ 32 + $ 4 tip to the lady because it seemed like the boss was always on her ass for some reason so I felt bad. Would I come here again? Uhhhh. Probably not. My nails weren’t too shabby, but they were nothing like the picture I showed them. The lack of communication really threw me off because the owner seemed to speak English just fine. If you need a quick fix up without any designs on your nails, this place might be good. If you’re trying to get fancy, this is NOT the place for you.
Btw, the pedicure chairs they have are BOMB though. Massage chair and everything. I almost fell asleep on it. HAHA that was the best part of it all :)

The update on this place is that there has been a change in ownership. All the previous workers are gone. The new owner seems nice and prices are decent, not great but decent. Will give this place a few more tries.

I agree, the ladies here are very nice. But as with any other service oriented business, nice doesn’t cut it.
This was by far the absolute worst nail job I’ve ever received, next to letting my three year old niece paint my nails.
I came in a few days before Christmas, on a Saturday afternoon. The place was completely empty sans one woman getting a mani pedi. I asked for a gel manicure.
First, the tools did not seem very sanitary as they were kept in a basket and showed no indication that they had been sanitized or were from a new package.
I’ve had gel nails done multiple times so I know the procedure well. For one, I noticed that the woman did not soak my nails to remove the previous gel color but instead removed it with an electric file. Not a single salon has ever removed the previous color that way. Then she filed my nails horribly. The edges were rough and my thumb had an entire sliver hanging off of it. Worst of all was the actual coloring… she couldn’t even keep the polish within the lines. (The pictures speak for themselves… dark purple polish) she was also very hasty and careless with the timing of the machine drying. She had me place one hand on top of another and jam it into one single machine. Who does that?
Today is 5 days since my visit and the color is already chipping from three nails.
I’m not someone who doles out one star reviews unless I really really think a business deserves it. Considering the uncleanliness, the poor quality of both the nail polish product (perhaps they use a cheaper gel nail polish) and service, and the price that is comparable to much better salons ($ 25), this place is definitely a one star.

The ladies here are absolutely kind and sweet! I had Mai do my pedicure and she did a fabulous job. I’m so sad to know that she will be moving to another state in two weeks… I hope she decides to move back to Cali!
I had Kim do my gel manicure ‘half moon style’ and it looks fantastic square like she suggested! I had originally wanted rounder, but she was right, with the bright blue color I chose and blue glitter it made sense to go with a shorter square!
Although the actual atmosphere isn’t that appealing, this place is a diamond in the rough, mainly because of the lovely ladies who work here!

they’re nice enough but very rough with the clippers. Kim and Christy convinced me to remove my acrylics and just use gel. After the painful removal of my acrylics and 4 coats of gel some of the gel chipped off the next day! I went back to have them recoat the ones that chipped but they made me wait 15 minutes before they even glanced back at me. I finally walked out.
I’ll find another salon.

What a gem of a find! Fantastic guest service, friendly atmosphere, open on Sundays and great prices. Kristie was a total doll, and Jenny was super fast and efficient.
Got a pedi and the Opi gel manicure. I asked if the Opi gel could be done for my pedi as well, and she actually said, «we could, but honestly, pedis last longer than manis, so really it’s not worth the cost to upgrade it. but we can do it for you if you like.» I was taken aback at the honesty, and even more thankful that they were actually looking out for the customer than their dollar.
Mani $ 25, pedi $ 21… Great customer service, super fast… I’ll definitely be back!

I love this place! It’s too bad about some of the other reviews. .. I did notice most of the bad reviews are around the same time. Maybe there was something going on for the shop around that time. I don’t know.
Anyway, I’ve been here a couple times, and every time I go, the staff is so friendly! And both times I was there, a customer walked in and they knew her name :) I thought that was really nice.
I went in for a manicure/​pedicure both times. I decided to get the Gel for the first time. I went to Hawaii for 10 days and my manicure looked great! It lasted 2 ½ weeks. My current Gel manicure looks great.
I also got a brow wax. She did a great job and there was hardly any pain. I usually feel a little sting when I get waxed, she was surprisingly gentle! I’m definitely going back!
Give it a try for your next manicure! :)

I was looking forward to a relaxing pedicure with a friend of mine. All day, I was searching Unilocal and reading reviews because my the nail salon I regularly go to was booked. When I saw that Lovely nails was close to my house and the reviews looked good, I thought I would try it out. BIG MISTAKE…
I don’t complain much at all, but I had to write a review to warn people about this place.
My friend and I were seated in the massage chair/​foot soak. They worked on my friend’s pedicure after 10 minutes of soaking.
The owner of the salon, SANDY was the lady who worked on my pedicure. I had mentioned that I had to be out the door at 7 pm which gave them an hour and 15 minutes to work with.
They let my feet soak for 30 minutes. Keep in mind, my skin is now super soft due to the 30 minute soak. I understood they were a bit busy, so I let that slide. She removed my previous polish and cleaned my nails, then asked if I wanted the callous removed for $ 5. I agreed. She took her pumice scrub and started scrubbing away at the bottom of my foot. First of all, since she had her Acrylic manicure, she couldn’t get a good hold of my foot, then she started chatting with her employee… that’s when I started to feel my feet burning! She was scrubbing the side of my foot beside the callous! The skin was scraped off and now the solution was burning into the wound!
I immediately told her to stop! I had to tell her to rinse my foot! Amazing how she wouldn’t think to rinse my foot knowing there’s an open wound with a strong callous softener on top. It felt like acid! She apologized and I stayed seated and allowed her to finish the pedicure.
Sandy had Acrylic nails on, so keep in mind, a massage from her might not feel that great, right? It didn’t! She was trying to massage my legs to apologize for scraping my skin off, but all I felt were her Acrylic nails gliding into my skin along my calves.
I understand people make mistakes, but I was and still am in pain. That wound was deep. This was all due to her carelessness. This business requires care and customer service to succeed. They have all the time in the world to talk to their coworkers when there are no customers.
When we got up to pay, she charged me for the full pedicure. I told her that she hurt my foot, wouldn’t she at least give me a discount?
She said no. She still charged me full price knowing I was an unsatisfied customer.
Although I should have walked out, I still paid the fee. I do regret it.
I feel mistreated.
It has been a little over a week since this pedicure and I still can’t wear heels due to this wound. I’ve just been wearing soft flats to work. I would not suggest this place at all.

I decided to try out this place after checking out all the positive feedback from the other Unilocalers. Like Stacy P. I have also had bad experiences at several nail salons. Whether it be the customer service or the quality, I never left a salon 110% satisfied…
…Until I stepped into Lovely Nails & Spa. The salon itself was small but cute and very clean. Just by the interior alone I felt a sense of ease. Kristie did my nails and she was excellent. She was very sweet, had a bubbly personality and was very accommodating. I walked in on a Friday night @ 630pm. The salon closed @ 7pm yet she was willing to do my nails if I chose to stay.
My mani/​pedi was a combined $ 31 but since I was a new client they knocked $ 5 off so I ended up paying just $ 26 for great quality treatment. I felt very relaxed while getting my nails done. Kristie and I conversed as if we were girlfriends just hanging out. It was lovely.

First of all I gave had bad experiences at nail salons and I am sooo happy to say I finally feel like I found a place that I can call my home nail salon.
I took the time to search on Unilocal for a nail salon and seen the reviews and thought i will try it out.
I called to make an appointment and so I showed up just in time and right away they were so nice and seated me right away.
Sandy started on my nails! Let me just tell you she knows what shes doing! You know how ususally they take forever to see what nail will fit? Well she took one look at my nails and just knew! My nails were done with in like 30 mins! and they look better than ever! She knows just how much powder to put so she doesnt have to waste time filing forever. No cuts, no cracks! I love them! Perfect length and everything.
For my Pedicure, Kristy took over. She is so nice and very personable, at the same time she does the job good!
I felt more comfortable than I have ever felt at a nail salon and it has been just the place I have been looking for forever! I am very happy to say I have found my home as far as nails go :)
All in all I had a great experience. Its pricy, but the service and quality is worth it!
