I came in with my mom for gel manicures, and we both left really disappointed. I'm new to the Menifee area and was hoping to find a reliable nail salon, but this was not a good experience. I got a French tip using OPI Funny Bunny, and the results were very poor. The gel polish is uneven and lumpy, the white tips are inconsistent in size, and the overall shape of my nails is sloppy. It honestly looks rushed and unprofessional. My mom also had a disappointing experience. She asked for black nails with a gold design and showed a reference photo. The technician said she could do it, but the final result looked nothing like the picture. During the service, it was clear she wasn't confident with designs, as she kept asking the technician next to her for help. This is really directed to the owners, Nia and Dan, who seem to do great work and are often booked out. Unfortunately, this experience was not a good representation of your business. I wouldn't return and wouldn't recommend this salon unless you're specifically booking with Nia or Dan. read more

Love my girl Nia at 5 star! Shop is clean, and runs like a well oiled machine! I'm here every three weeks for a pedi and "cute nails" Nia never fails me!!! read more

Best mani and pedi I have had in years. They did an amazing job. It's also very quiet and relaxing in there. I did the deluxe mani and deluxe pedi and it was very calming. They did the hot stone massage so amazingly. They were not rushing at all. I got gel nails. Glad I found this hidden gem. read more

I've been coming here for a while now and loved my tech Sue. Last time I called they said she left. I gave them another try and called to make an appt the day before for a fill and pedi. The day of I go in and a nice lady started my nails then half way through they started my pedi (I asked for the royal which is supposed to come with a 15 min massage). Right before I sat for my pedi someone called in asking for 2 pedis. They come in while I'm getting my pedi and they sit them down and 1 gets started and my girl did mayyyybe a 7 min massage and hurried me to start the walk in. I'm on my feet all of the time and look forward to the massage. That was pretty disappointing for me. Was going to stay and keep my business there but not sure anymore. I called the day before to make the appt and they hurried me for a walk in read more

Sue is the go to for my pedicures! She always is so attentive and does a great job! She's pretty talented with nails as well... I've left other reviews/ photos with her work when I've asked for oval shaped nails. This time tho, just stopped in for a pedicure. Highly recommend! read more

I can't believe the horrendous experience I just had here. Some old guy attempted to do my nails. It was so bad I had to make him stop and then a lady took over and 2 1/2 hours later this is what I was left with. Acrylic all over my fingers and cuticles. They are not shaped the same and they are SO thick it's ridiculous, then rushed me out the door because they were closing. read more

as much as Dan does nails pretty well, you can't add any feedback without him being rude. Apparently this is how he is after hearing stories from multiple people who get their nails done from him. I didn't have any issues previously, I actually trusted him a lot with his judgement on colors/designs/etc.. but when I got my nails done the other day I had communicated that the color looked too pink for the sort of thing I was getting, showing reference photos and trying to trust his judgement after he told me it was going to look fine. After looking for a bit I realized it's definitely not the look I was going for (which is fine, I'm not difficult and I wasn't going to make him redo anything just not do what I had originally planned or add anything else) and when I had let him know, some sort of switch flipped. "I'm not going to redo this" "this is the color you wanted now you hate it" "I don't know what you want". When I showed him the reference photo again he told me it's too ugly and he wasn't going to do it. I thought he was joking for real because I wasn't expecting disrespect to come out of his mouth whatsoever with how cool things have been beforehand. I went to go wash my hands and decided that I wasn't comfortable staying there much longer with the tension he created so I sat down and told him to not follow through with my original idea and just add the top coat saying "I actually like the color and the way it is like this" he said "oh so now you like the base color" and scoffed.. LOL hell no. I kept it cordial, I did not cause any scene and I generally don't even speak up for sh!t if I don't like my nails, I usually pay and go on my way but I felt comfortable enough with him to SORTA bring up how I was feeling about it. My nail color wasn't what made me leave without it getting finished, it was his disrespect and the way he started handling my hands and nails rougher once I made my comments. Once I went home I noticed he also unfollowed me on ig after. I don't ever make reviews because i'm not tryna look like a Karen but that was some unprovoked behavior he pulled and apparently a common mistake he makes with others. How are you gonna be mad at people asking questions and giving you input when they are PAYING YOU to do your JOB. I was too nice to him even until I left. read more

Will not return, do not recommend. I have been going here for over 2 years. The past few times, things have gotten worse. In once instance, the tech argued with me about the difference between "almond" and "round" when all I asked for was the same shape I had; a shape I had received from this location! It was so bad I had to leave mid-service! No one apologized. As you never get the same person twice, I returned and was stabbed with an instrument. Today (afternoon, mid-week), I was once again trapped by being sat down in water for a pedicure even when the wait is 30 minutes+! The water was cold and no one was in a hurry to help me or give me an update. No more. Please do not come here. I am throwing away by discounts and blocking their cell number. read more

Family owned. Been with them 10 years. Always happy with service. Gel mani and gel pedi is my go to service.

I don't know where to begin. The man who helped me did such a horrible job I am currently sitting in another salon to get my nails fixed. The shape is so off that all my nails do not even resemble each other. The color must have been old because there are so many bubbles and bumps in my nails that they look hideous in the light. And he over polished my nails that they actually connect onto my fingers and under my nails. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had in a nail salon, and that's saying something. read more

This 5 star review is for Danny. Been going to him off and on for 10 years, and he's easily the best nail artist I've ever had. Rarely do I come across someone with comparable skills. He does a phenomenal job every time. The shop is always clean, & on Fridays, busy. Everyone in there is personable. My first time in that shop was rough - I had someone do my nails (can't remember her name) & she cut me multiple times and did an overall terrible job. The only other person I had that has been subpar is the gentleman on the far end. He was super nice, but his work just wasn't very good. I went back and got them all fixed later that day (as I had to work). David did a great job fixing them. For the record - both David and Danny are really good, and Nia I hear is really good too. So there are quite a few people you can go to in this shop to expect a good job from, which is a rarity nowadays. It seems they're really upping their game, too! I always recommend this shop to all my friends! read more

Buyer beware!!! I was overcharged $100 when I used my debit card. Be sure to ask for the price upfront before they start working on your nails and very careful to check your receipt if using credit/debit. The older man did my acrylic fill and was supposed to charge me $33. He added an extra 1 to the total on the credit card machine and made it $133!! I'm sure they get a lot of people this way who don't notice. I saw it and immediately told him. He gave me the overcharge back in cash. The polish job was terrible and chipped after one day. read more

Update: 5 stars were given because once I left my review, I was contacted immediately to try to rectify the issue and they fixed my nails to a T. They look AMAZING. Nia did my nails. She greeted me and explained what she would do. She shaped my nails perfectly and upon talking it out, changed the colors of my nails which I was totally okay with. They came out so cute, just in time for Thanksgiving. I am very satisfied. See pictures for new nails. I Got dipped powder with gel nail color on top. No charge to get them fixed. I left her a tip. This nail salon is definitely a place where they take pride in customer service, as all places should do as well, but not many salons are like that let alone will reply to a yelp review. It is for these reasons I will recommend 5 star Nails. Precious post 1 star given Mary did my nails. She's very sweet and personable but her work is really bad. Stay away if you can. See pictures. My nails are rough around the edges, every nail has a bad shape, like one is lumpy on one side, the other has a straight side but the other side is rounded, nothing is like what I asked for; in fact, she used a very flimsy small white nail file to shape my nails and I couldn't figure out why! Also, she painted my nails so that it looks like I've had them on for a week. The last picture is the shape I was looking for. I asked for short coffin nails; dip powder with gel color. Last, I went to this place years ago and I had really bad work done too, they are under new management so I went again and bad decision. Paid $45 for these awful nails. I saw another nail tech working on someone else's nails and they looked amazing; that nail technicians name is Lily; I will go with her be. Good luck y'all! read more

I have been a loyal customer of this establishment and my nail technician, Nia for several years. She displays utmost professionalism and her work is consistently 10/10. Her work is so superb that I'd rather go without having my nails done at all than go to another salon/technician if she is unavailable. Nia does my husband and daughters' nails as well and they also refuse to go to any one else! read more

What happened to this place? I had the same nail tech for 4 years. I even followed him from a different salon and one day he just decides to stop accepting appointments. He did this to many of his long time clients with no explanation. I tried someone else since this place is close by and it was terrible. The other nail tech told me he doesn't do pink and white because it will me look old...ok thanks?! So he did ombre. Its not too bad execept days later it started turning an odd color. I went back for a fill and he told he had no pink and gave me glitter. At this place it's whatever they feel like doing not what you ask for. read more

I've been going to Dan (owner) for a few years now. And concur with others that he is rude. At first I just thought he was a grumpy person. However, on my last appt, he was not only impolite, but also humiliated me in front of others (his wife laugh too, not sure if at him or me) I showed him a pic of what I wanted after he requested to see one. He brought the required colors, but one was off, so I requested a different shade of yellow. It was the first time I commented on the nail color he brought, which prompt his anger and a statement that he was tired and that was the last time I changed my mind. I told him to please relax that I, too was tired, but I was paying him for this service. Then he said, "You relax. Do you have any idea how many women want me to do their nails when I don't want to?" I then remained silent. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but I allow him to finish my nails, then I thank him and tip him. However, I will never return and he has lost two loyal customers. It's a shame that such talented nail tech (I love his work) doesn't care about his business or his customers. read more

Sorry Amy you are wonderful, Danny from what I was told is the owner very rude and arrogant. Must be a new owner! Knows nothing about customer service. On his phone like a teenager ignoring all the customers... Amy tried so hard to make up for the owner's rudeness, I felt empathy for her , to have to work in that type of environment... read more

My mom came home so upset. I called to schedule her an appointment for an acrylic overlay. She said it again when she arrived and the older Asian man bullied her into doing powder dip. When she explained it wasn't what he wanted he repeatedly said "this will look better." When she refused to do the blacklight at the end he told her it wouldn't dry fast and she explained that she didn't want the gel and that's why she asked for the overlay and a regular polish. He polished her nails and fanned her with a piece of cardboard for 2 minutes. She spent $50 on something she didn't ask for and sure enough her thumb had messed up before she even got home. We will never go back read more

RUDE!!!!! Not sure the guys name but he was rude. I called and asked the wait time they said come in, I got there 15 min after the call. He said 10-15 min, I was okay with that, I waited after I put my name in, got my color waited, another lady came in, signed in with her mom and waited, they took them first without an appointment so I asked how much longer and he told me it's going to take longer, can you come back tomorrow? After waiting over 25 min. I was so pissed. There's as many nail places as there are Starbucks on every corner. I went down the street, to Lake Nails...same price and got in right away. read more

I would give them a zero if I could. My daughter and I went in the day before Mother's Day for 2 full sets. My daughter wanted dip powder and I wanted medium length, square nails I even showed the girl a picture. For $89 dollars I expected to be somewhat satisfied. My daughters nails all fell off the next day and mine are different shapes, lumpy, and the acrylic nail doesn't even cover my own nail. Plus they are super short!!!! She kept telling me they are natural nails. They are crap!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! The last picture is what I showed her I wanted. Nothing like what I showed her!!!!! read more

1 star service. 1 Star Waited for HOURS to get my FULL SET. People walked out because of the excessive wait. The nail techs left to pick up their kids from school. Angry customers walked out and my mistake was continuing to wait. The shape of my nails were crooked as well as my friend who came with me. When I complained about the shape to my nail tech she snapped, "nothings perfect" with attitude. My Sister in Law Sophia (who came with me), Her nails fell off after 3 days and mine fell off after a week. I promised myself I would NEVER go back and ended going to Forever Nails In Murrieta where they were in shock at the condition of my nails. Water had seeped through the acrylic powder and The nails were cheap and weak. I felt bad for the tech who had to fix them. read more
