I had gone here for a while, and they were also a little rude to me but I had always just tolerated it because i wanted my eyebrows done and was to scared to try any where else new. But one day I had gone in and made an appointment at 4:30 that following Friday. I go in on Friday and they had told me that my appointment was cancelled because it was placed at 3:30 instead of 4:30 as i requested. The lady there was extremely rude and had a very bad attitude towards me infront of everyone. do not recommend these people are not welcoming and just rude. read more

I'm not sure how they work. Not bad mouthing them at all but I went in not once but twice in different occasions trying to make an appointment. I'm a new client and I just moved into the neighborhood so I'm searching for a good spot. Found them on IG and pics looked good and everything however if they can't get an appointment down for people, how do they get nails down? The second time I went in the person there (i believe her name is Celine) wasn't even aware of the schedule and what time I could book for. So she asked I leave my phone number and she would text me back. I never got a text! Customer service needs improvement. read more

10/10 best customer service. Got my nails done by she make sure to request her as your nail tech. She is very nice and makes you feel welcomed. Music is very relaxing as well. read more

Just as diana said.. I've never called a salon that doesn't have the schedule available? They don't even have a receptionist... I gave them a try because the young lady on the phone was nice and apologetic..... Bad idea it was a nightmare! The file the girl used on me was not clean it looked worn and had old polish like they filed someone's glitter polish and reused it and the foam they use in between your toes looked old and used too!! Be aware if you take cleanliness seriously I do not recommend this place at all everything about them screams unprofessional read more

So I spend 2 hours and a half in here today . Let me just say I left really upset ! It was my first time here , I went for a Pedicure and a gel manicure . I paid $65 for what I got done and let me tell you it was not worth it ! I wanted to cry of how bad of a job the lady did . I did not get her name but seems like she just moved out to Palmdale about six months ago I'm not sure if she was learning or what was going on . I tried to be positive about it and give her a chance but that was my mistake . Not going back ever ! to over priced and bad service ! If I could give this place zero starts I would . My experience was horrible ! read more

After taking a year off from acrylics due to Covid and moving decided to check out a place near by where I lived they scheduled me the next day after first call. When I arrived at location it was very quiet the staff was nice my nail tech was very attentive to detail and I loved how they didnt bark prices for designs I just showed her a nail look from Instagram and she went straight to work I got a full set extra length acrylic with matching gel color toes w/ design + pedi I'll post a comparison pics to what I was looking for and the final results I'm very satisfied with them will be back again in the future oh yea forgot to mention she free handed the white tips and i didn't have to pay a deposit for appointment. read more

I just moved to Palmdale not that long ago, and I couldn't find a good nail salon. I wanted to try out this place and I did a couple a times, and was always satisfied and loved my gel manicure. Today my sister decided to get acrylic French nails and the girl who did them was a joke! I didn't realize how bad they where until on our way home. I was going to go back and try and get them fixed but I decided to take her else where to get them fixed. I've seen other girls work there and they've done a pretty good job, but this girl just new she didn't know what she was doing. Specially me, I've gotten my nails done for years and never have experienced something like this before. The nails where not filed correctly, there's lumps everywhere and there soooooo uneven! Hate to say that I won't be going back after this. read more

If I could I would give a negative one They are so rude and unprofessional eating in the salon with their mask off giving dirty looks. If you don't like your job or the career you choose for yourself then why work it. Make people feel so uncomfortable and lower your confidence. When of course people go get their nails toes etc done to boost confidence yeah not here that doesn't happen. read more

Used to be my favorite place but not anymore, I'll definitely be going elsewhere. I felt so uncomfortable at my last appointment the owner was all pissy because I didn't want to leave a deposit even though she had said it was fine. When I got to my appointment she was judging me because of the damn deposit. She overcharged me on purpose and that's fine no tip from me. Have a good day and be professional. read more

Thankyou Marcela for my mani and Pedi. She did such a great job and took her time I will definitely be going back read more

Got my full set removed and a clear coat gel mani after. They have really great customer service. Originally my technician, Marcela, was going to remove my set with another acrylic nail, to which I had to ask to soak them instead. She complied with me and was gentle throughout the rest of the session. I also wanted a regular manicure. Marcela did it, but the colored polish ended up being really bubbly (I take it from the dryness of soaking my nails in acetone for so long) and I asked to just remove it altogether. She felt bad so she asked if she could paint it over again. I ended up settling for just a clear coat. Marcela then threw in gel and the end result came out nice and clean. It was $16 ($1 service fee for card) total which was very reasonable. The other thing to note is that they use both UV and LED lights. I'm cautious about salons using UV because it's more damaging to our skin. Unfortunately I probably won't be returning. read more

I'd like to start off by saying that the women working there made it an enjoyable experience, they were very friendly and patient. I wish I could go back there. However, I didn't like the work at all. I got a full set and pedicure. Full set cost $35 for coffin shape medium length regular polish. And they look terrible. The shapes vary and I came out looking like I needed a full and just got polish over it. The pedicure was disappointing because it looks like just polish. I didn't pay for callus remover so I wasn't expecting complete smoothness but my toes I did expect to look neat. Also toe nail polish chipped after only 3 days. read more

I went to this shop two days ago... I got a pedicure and a full set of acrylics pink and white sand. The woman were very nice and my pedicure came out nice but my acrylic nails are lifting and it's only been 2 days. I might go there for pedicures but not for acrylic nail. read more

So my mom and I have been to this nail salon 3 times to have pedicures done. My mom is very insecure about her feet, and the ladies here always make her feel comfortable. They take the time to remove calluses and ingrown nails, their utensils are always clean and newly disinfected. They make the experience an enjoyable one. read more

Well I want to start off by 1st impression when I walked in being this is my 1st time and all that's going on I was a little unsure. At 1st I didn't feel welcome but idk if that was my own imagination because I'm hyper sensitive now a days with BLM but once we figure out if I can sit things was great from then on. My tech was Selene she's so sweet. I loved that she like to talked I probably talked her ear off because I'm a natural talker lol but she was so nice gentle. She went to work on these quarantine feet lol. The rest of the staff was really nice. I liked how one of the ladies asked me was this my 1st time and how did I hear about them that showed she was interested in me as a customer. I definitely will be returning back. Thank you ladies especially to Selene she's my new pedicure tech read more

Came here to take my 3 year old niece to get a little pampered for her birthday and to spend auntie time (I'm from Sacramento). The ladies were super patient with her despite her moving around and ruining her nails a few times. They went out of their way to help me with her and interacted with her, even brought out a huge giraffee for her to hold. The shop is very clean, they have multiple nail colors, designs, and options and are affordable. I will definitely be going back when I am in the area and when my niece is at least 5 . Her party was minion theme and I got a design on one nail for it, a pedicure that I was very happy with, and I enjoyed this experience with my little munchkin. read more

Indira made my dream come true. I asked for thin and long coffin style nails that she was able to accommodate. Initially, they didn't carry my desired shape of acrylic extensions but they found a way to use a different kind of extension to accommodate my desired shape. Thank you so much! read more

Meh... The prices are the best but the quality isn't. I guess you get what you pay for. They don't soak your nails or cut cuticles with gel manicure. They didn't shape my nails nicely and my color didn't turn out good at all. It's lumpy and many missed spots. I wish I went to my usual place Bliss in Palmdale and paid that extra 5 dollars. read more

I paid 35$ for something I could have gotten done better at Sunnys for $5more and walked out with gel nail polish if I would have just waited. Not happy. My nails are all different sizes and I didn't get the length I want because she wanted to go the easy route and just put stiletto tips on. *eyeroll* acrylic was laid somewhat wrong. Some nails are nice. Some aren't. Atmosphere was nice and people were nice. Kids were screaming everywhere. 2 stars cuz it looks clean and people are nice. 2 days later a nail broke off... & they wanted an extra $15 for gel. such amateur work. read more

This will be my second time here and the first time I got a wonderful service by Veronica however this time was completely opposite. I had an appointment and came on time . Once I got there they were busy so I had to wait. Which wasn't a problem . The problem was that they were so busy that the lady who did my toes came from next door from a hair salon! She didn't even work at the nail salon and did my toes . She had no clue what she was doing . I paid for an extra callus removed and she didn't even scrub anything off which I'm paying $10 extra for. Overall I thought it was a waste of money paying $30 for a pedicure when they looked like shit. I don't see myself coming back if I'm going to get a pedicure by someone who doesn't even work at the nail salon read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! If I could give 0 stars I would. I am not from the area and stopped in here for a refill & 2 nails to be fixed. I asked how much & was told $25 for the refill & $10 for the 2 nails. Cool! The girl must have been new at doing nails, I was there wayyyy too long, she couldn't shape my nails properly but I didn't mind because everyone starts somewhere. She finished & the woman that I assume is the owner tells me my total is $50. I said, "But you said $35". She says she charged me an extra $15 for gel polish. Now why wouldn't she say that when I asked the amount? She's unethical, that's why! read more

I'm a new resident to the city of Palmdale. I have to find everything on Yelp. When I checked all the nail salons nearby my home, this one didn't have too many reviews, but I took a chance. First off, this is not ran by Asians but friendly Latina women. It caught me off guard because I was expecting the typical. Do not fret, the quality of work is worth coming to! The awesomeness Veronica took care of me and she is my go to gal! I didn't want to write this review because y'all ladies are going to keep her busy from me. LOL The salon is clean and they always open up a new sterile pack of tools to get the job done! This is a full on beauty salon to get your nails, facials and facial hair did. Be courteous and make an appointment! read more

This place is great. I came in because my nails needed to be tamed, and met this lovely lady named Yunven. She was so tentative and gentle with my hands, unlike other places that treat you like your nails are made of plastic, she was awesome. (o) read more

You want the best pedicure ask for marina! She's amazing! The shop uses great quality products. Very satisfied.

I came to just get my pinky nail fixed and I had a lovely experience. First off they were a really nice group of technicians. Not only that it's not an Asian base nail salon. Omg I was in heaven. It's so hard to find non Asian base nail salons with great prices great work and great customer service. I live in riverside now but I wouldn't mind driving to them every 2 weeks for my appointments. Nice job ladies. read more

Got my nails done with my daughter today. We really liked it they were nice and friendly. The manicurist that did my daughter was nice, but she spoke on the phone the whole time, and I thought it was rude and unprofessional. I would go back despite that. read more

I was recommended to come here by another girl ! I walked in and was greeted right away didn't take long at all for them to get started on my feet and when I asked the girl to cut my nails shorter she did just that ! I love the service here and am glad I found this place in the AV I have tried a few places here since moving. From the valley and didn't like any of them yet so had to wait each time I went down to the valley it sucked! But I'm so happy I have a new home here at Akai nail spa and feel good at their quality of work ! Best of all the place is super clean and I love the fact the owner herself took her time to work on my toes too I have a problem with ingrown toenails thanks ladies for taking care of me read more

I had not done my nails for a while and was recommended to go here by my hair stylist! I am so glad I went there. The girls were really nice, they had spanish music playing and it was really proffesional. The place was clean as well as the stations and supplies. I wanted french tip on my toes and it was perfect. I highly recommend it. read more

Indi does an excellent job! The place is clean, accessible, and an overall very friendly environment. Prices are very reasonable as well.

I went back after about a year because of the great experience I had the first time but it was a terrible choice! I went in for a gel mani and only got a gel polish change because they didn't have time.. not only that but they chipped as soon as I left. Went in a different time to get a gel mani and the same thing happened!! I know enough about nails to know that when they chip it's because of the nails techs application. I will most definitely never be back again. I'll go spend my money elsewhere. Thank you! read more
