I came here for a pedicure before my trip to Thailand, normally I see Kenny at professional nail but he was booked. A couple days after my pedicure I started to notice black spots on my big toe nails. It's been two months now and I still can't get rid of it on my own. I've tried all over the counter things and natural remedies. I have never had this before and am almost 40 years old. This shop does not disinfect their instruments. As a licensed cosmetologist I'm going to report this shop to the board to have them inspected. I've gone here once before and it was ok, but was not so lucky this second time. Be careful of your go here!

Hey everyone. I'm so sad that I feel like I have to make this post. I went to American nail, and got a pedicure because it's the closest nail salon to my house. I was about to go on vacation, and wanted to treat myself to a cute pedicure. I asked for cateye polish, with white stars and gems. I had previously gone to get a pedicure 2 weeks prior, so I had no existing ingrown nails. However, the manicurist clipped and yanked out the side of my nail. When I got home I was happy with my pedicure, but my toe was feeling sore from the pull. As the days went on, my toe got more and more swollen and painful. Four days later, I called Tina to ask if there was any compensation I could have, maybe a possible half refund, being that I paid $65 for service. She asked me to come in to look at it. Once looked at, the pedicurist (the same one that yanked my nail) continued to clip more of the root of my nail off. While leaving, I was given a pat on the back, and $10 to get Epsom salt to soak. No refund at all, and honestly a little embarrassed to walk in and be handed only $10 out of the $65 I've spent on the pedicure (Epsom salt not included). It has now been 11 days. I went on vacation and came back, and my toe is bruised from the yank, and my skin is now peeling from the needing to soak it to release the puss from the infected nail. I hate leaving bad reviews because I don't like to cost the business their customers, but I feel like I have to for the safety and wellbeing of everyone. The shop isn't clean at all. While there, there were clipped toenails around the area that my toe was being treated. The utensil the lady clipped my toe with was pulled off a tray, used on me, and put back with other uncovered utensils to be used on someone else without proper cleaning in between. Please save your money, and don't let just anyone do your nails because the service is closer. Pick a cleaner salon that won't do this to you, and that'll have enough empathy to give you a refund if this is ever done (which it shouldn't ever be).

Kathy is amazing! I've been coming here for years and everyone is always so kind. I got cat eye with gems added. Showed her an inspo pic and these came out even better!

I am not from this area and needed my nails done. They squeezed me in and gave me a fill and pedicure. They were great and gentle and the vibe was relaxing even though I was writing work emails. I highly recommend this place. Mai did a fabulous job. My hands are pretty again.

Tina does a great job on my dip powder manicures. She's very sweet and takes her time on my nails. The interior of the shop is clean and presentable. I recommend calling to make an appointment, I always do that now and I barely have to wait! :)

It is my first time here and I loved it! Love how my nails turned out! Definitely will be coming back. Everyone was so nice and polite.

I am from San Diego, and trying to keep in mind that Grand Terrece is a small town area (not as high maintenance). And, not to mention I used to be a nail technician myself, so I'm very picky. But, this place was very unorganized, I had three different people work on my toes, and had to tell them to fix quite a few things on my pedicure. I also had to take the file myself to file my nails perfectly square. Not to mention, file my toes evenly when I got home. I had white gel polish and the paint job was crooked, and not to my satisfaction. It's reasonably priced, the leg mask and hot rocks were good, but I just don't feel they take pride in their work. Not the absolute worst place, but definitely not the best. Unfortunately, I will not go back there. Photos are of after I fixed them.

The absolute worst experience ever in a business!!! Never open. Never get ingrown nails on feet but charge for it. Charge double for certain services than others and refused me because I brought my special needs children. Also tried charging me for service they didn't perform. I wanted to charge mani pedi but they asked for charge before mani was done after pedi so I had double fee for credit card. They are scammers. I found on my bank statement they tried charging three times and I tip a lot every two weeks. They are located literally round the corner from me, but grand terrace nail salons here are lazy rude and have you waiting without acknowledging you ...I have to drive to Ontario or riverside to get decent service.

My partner made an appointment for us to get pedicures and they were ready for us as soon as we walked in. They did a great job taking care of our feet and were playful and kind, offering to paint my partner's nails too, he politely declined. I also got a manicure with acrylics and they did an excellent job with nail shape and color. Based on the photos online, I was hoping I could request some designs on my nails but was told they could only do a French tip, which was included in the photo I had shown them so I did without any design. The local news was playing in the background but I think a touch of music would really add to the ambiance of the place. I would definitely be back for a pedicure. read more

The people there are nice. But if you don't want their full experience, they seem to not want do a so-so job. I went and got a pedicure, and paid for the step up from basic, but seems to me like I only got the basic. I feel the men that do the pedicures are a lot better than the ladies. I do feel that they do talk too much amongst themselves. I feel that's rude when they're speaking their language. Makes me feel like they're talking about you. read more

I'm frustrated and more angry with myself really because years ago I've been here as a walk-in and I had a bad experience so I'm not sure why I thought walking in today after several years It would be any different! The crazy thing is the same guy worked on me a while back. He ended up cutting my skin and making me bleed and I promised myself I will never go back to this salon. Today I was desperate specially, while my little six year old girl was with me and super excited to get her nails done with mommy I called them while driving & they said they couldn't do a walk in at the moment so after we hung up I called around and the next thing I know my phone Rang and American Nails was calling back; they told me if I can be there in the next couple of minutes they can do the mani pedi for both! I was 1 minute away. I walked & they said for us to choose colors so we did but for the most part I had my own nail polish that I wanted to use but I grabbed one of theirs just in case I change my mind. Immediately I can tell that the man was going to end up being the person to work on my nails. I didn't want to be rude and request someone else so sat on the white chairs and I was very cordial with him & quite not to piss him off. Let me start by saying that the gentleman reeked of cigarettes, I simply wanted a regular manicure pedicure; as soon as he started to work on my feet it was uncomfortable uncomfortable & awkward!! not to mention it wasn't very relaxing, and he barely touched my feet when he applied the lotion and when I proceeded to ask, why, no rubbing of the feet (little foot massage), he says , "you need to pay extra for that" oh yeah? The lady next to me didn't pay extra and she got her legs and feet rubbed! And several others.... Anyways, I ignored, didn't show any attitude, because I surely did not want him to cut me again!! When he started working on my heels. I started worrying because I can tell he was not doing it right ! I have soft heels and I try to take care of my feet as much as possible because honestly, I can't afford giving a manicure pedicure every few weeks!! I thought why not treat myself and get a pedicure like my single days but boy was I wrong! I don't know if he was having a bad day or if he's always like this, but he left my heels, so rough I couldn't believe how bad they felt after he scraped them with his yellow tool. The problem is I didn't realize it until they did my manicure, and I sat to dry them. I felt the roughness when I placed my feet in my own shoes! I was in shock you could see part of my skin still sticking out on my heels!?! I brought it to their attention at that time meanwhile he was outside, smoking. He said it's because you didn't do the extra upgrade!!!! so if I don't do an upgraded special pedicure, you're gonna leave my feet worse than when I walked in?? He finally comes from his smoke break and tells me that this is not his problem and proceeds to speak in his native language why I am calmly trying to explain to them that this is not fair!! of course, naturally they denied everything and said that I should've paid extra to get rid of the roughness. They didn't believe that my feet were not like this when I walked in!! It's important that you know that I am not a confrontational person nor am I someone that likes to leave bad reviews for people that work hard, but it was difficult for me not to write this because it was very unfair and unprofessional! My poor six year old was a little traumatized of how awkward it was on our way out. At one point I guess the manager offered to make things better by applying Vaseline on my heels. She proceeded saying "oh he didn't leave them that bad" it was by far one of the worst experiences I've had in a salon. I'm sure there are regulars that come there, but I guarantee it nobody ever likes when he works on them. If you don't like your freaking job then leave and don't take it out on your customers!? I'm skipping a lot of parts with him that made the experience horrible but I'm tired of typing. I'm not sure how these guys are still in business!! Worse $60 ever spent! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, this is the absolute worst pedicure I've ever gotten. The products they use are cheap, the staff is unprofessional and unclean. I had to point out multiple issues with my pedicure and the woman doing my nails was annoyed to be asked to fix her mistakes. She didn't even use a base coat. I didn't have time to get it redone so I asked to take off the polish and I would pay for cuticle removal, which was also not done well. I was told I still had to pay for the full price of the pedicure even though there was no polish on my toes. I would imagine a respectable place of business would not only be embarrassed by their terrible work and service wouldn't charge at all but to have me pay FULL price for nothing but bad attitudes and subpar customer service is ridiculous. read more

First off no one was rude but no one was welcoming or nice when I walked through the door. Second they overcharge for a lower than mediocre job. I called in before hand to ask how much an acrylic fill would cost (I did not have gel and my nails were not very long I got them done) and they said 17 dollars however when I went in they charged me 30 dollars FOR A FILL . I was very annoyed but what upset me is the crappy job the they did on my nails. They're not even, they're not smooth, I have multiple missed paint spots, and the gentleman cut them way shorter than I had asked. I read the reviews (mostly positive) which is why I decided to get a fill here but I'm so disappointed, I was definitely scammed out of 30 bucks and now I have worse nails then what I came in with. Will never be coming here again. I attached a photo of my 35 dollar acrylic nail fill (35 because 30 is what they said it would be if I didn't get gel). He missed several spots, they're uneven, and the nail acrylic is bumpy and rigid. I asked for a coffin shape! This is not what I asked for. They're are also way shorter than what I asked for but by the time I saw them it was too late. Will never come here again. read more

I had a wonderful first time experience here. I believe the young lady who did my nails was "T." This was the first time I had brought my 3 year old with me to any nail salon. Sometimes mamas gotta bring their kids! My daughter was entertainer with the phone for a bit but after awhile she started to get anxious. T did her nails real quick and made conversation with my daughter & me the WHOLE time. Never did I feel uncomfortable. My daughter LOVES her nails as well as myself. I got a gel manicure and the price was very reasonable. We will be back! Thank you! read more

I had my nails done yesterday, full set. I'm highly disappointed! I paid 40 and I should have disputed. I can't believe this nail tech did such a sloppy job. I had globs of powder hanging on the end, and underneath. Powder was also stuck to my fingers. I got almond shape and it's just awful, nails themselves are thick, and the gel polish was applied haphazardly. I won't go back. read more

I've been going to American Nails for over 15yrs. Tina, the owner of the shop is my manicurist. She is very professional, knowledgeable and respectful. Tina has even gone above and beyond. Due to my busy schedule she came in on her day off (Sunday) to do my nails. Her staff is friendly and attentive to your needs. I would definitely recommend her shop. read more

Got recommended this place by a friend and they did not disappoint. Made an appointment and we've arrived about 10mins before my scheduled time, and I was quickly seated. I did a simple gel pedicure. It was quick and easy, only $35 dollars. Very relaxing and friendly place. Thank you! read more

Staff was nice and welcoming. However the quality of service was poor. I received a dip manicure and you can still see my nail through the dip. The nail tech used a dirty brush to brush off excess dip powder and you can see other colors from the brush being dirty. My nails are uneven and gritty. I don't believe the process was done correctly because I've been getting dip nails for over a year and never received this quality after. My gel pedicure is very uneven and messy. Very unfortunate because I wanted to like this place. Won't be returning. Was charged more than I was supposed to be and luckily I called because they did not have a phone number for me. They did refund me cash but if I had not called I don't know that I would have been able to get a refund. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I've been here 5 times and only been helped twice. If you're a guy who gets pedicures this is not the place. I made an appointment with my girlfriend for 10am, well they helped her but had me waiting after my girlfriend was done with a full pedicure and manicure I still hadn't been helped but yet some people who've shoes up after me were helped right away. This isn't the only time this has happened. I'm just fed up with the terrible customer service or the lack of that is. read more

He took his time to make sure I didn't get any heat spikes while applying the gel x, which is something that commonly happens. He was patient and diligent in his artwork, I never felt rushed or like I was asking for too much. Along with Lee being great, their front desk staff is a GEM. She is always so helpful, kind, and lowkey hilarious. She gave me tips on what I should get and all around makes the vibe of the place better. The shop is clean, I always see them cleaning and making sure tools are disinfected after use. And the fact that this place is around the corner from my house makes it even better. 10/10 would definitely recommend every time.

She also created my Mardi Gras nails exactly how I wanted. Im so pleased! Staff were all sweet and professional, and the environment was very relaxing. My only con is I was disappointed in the pedicure. For $60, I want my feet and heels scrubbed and soft, but I guess that is an add-on cost. At the end, she did a 30-second massage on each leg and wiped off the oil with a hot towel. That was it. My nails do look great, which is the end goal, but again, I felt that the pedicure was overpriced for what I got.

Over the past year, I've received eyebrow waxing, luminary gel fills, and classic pedicures, and the quality has been consistently excellent. The place is always clean, elegant, and well-maintained. Every tech I've encountered has been kind, professional, and welcoming, which really makes a difference. I love the atmosphere -- music and music videos on a big screen give it a fun, relaxing vibe. And now they even offer complimentary cocktails, which is such a nice touch! This is a new amenity, and I'm truly enjoying it The pricing is exactly what you'd expect for top-tier service. As my husband always says, "If you're gonna do it, then just DO IT!" And honestly, it pays to have the best. There's even a tech by the name of Amea... If you know, you know. I've included a photo of last year's Christmas tree, because it perfectly captures the festive, elegant feel of the space during the holidays. After a full year of great experiences, I can confidently say I highly recommend Slay Me Nails. Amy and Christy are both incredible nail techs.Amy is fantastic with pedicures and luminary gel -- I honestly fell in love with this spot because of her Christy is phenomenal with gel nails -- fast, efficient, and always delivers beautiful results. I'm sad I don't recall his name, but the tech with the magnificent pinky nail , he is top-tier with pedicures. His work speaks for itself. And let's not forget the front desk guy, aka "Mr. Cocktail" , he is the sweetest His smile is welcoming and really elevates the experience. Overall, no matter who you get, you'll be pleased with your service. The talent, professionalism, and vibe here are unmatched.

However, they are expensive!! I asked how much these nails would be (picture) and they quoted me $170!! Lmao. That's why your salons are hardly ever full. It used to be that you walk into a nail salon and it's packed with back to back appts and you had to wait for walk-ins. Now, I only see 2 or 3 people every time I go. Gone are the days when techs were good with nails because it's their job and that was the standard and they didn't price gouge every step of the way. There is no standard with all of these nail salons. Will do a crap job and just take your money but when you go somewhere that's actually good and can do what they're supposed to do, the prices are astronomical. So if you can't do your own nails and you want to splurge then this is the place to go to. It's a shame they think they're better off charging SO MUCH for nails when they would be getting way more customers and way more money if their prices were fair. Thank god I can do my own nails because it's getting ridiculous. And I get it, it costs a more for the extravagant designs and XL nails but not hundreds of dollars. Especially when people do their nails every 2-3 weeks. My guy, you're not saving lives here. You're also not Picasso. You're just painting the tips of my fingers. Also they need to fix their sewer problem. I went in there and I could barely tolerate the smell it was so bad and they're acting like they don't smell anything. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty salon and I'm glad to finally win the lottery-- I mean, find a place where they do a good job and the people seem nice but with these prices I won't be able to get my nails done on the regular anymore. And I was a weekly kind of girl too. And I'm sorry but if you think it's ok for prices to be this high, you are part of the problem. Charging a little more because product pricing has gone up is one thing but price gouging is another. Designs and fun stuff was always an extra 20-30 bucks. Not 75-100+!! Oh yes, and charging a lot for a pedicure that they still rush through and do a mediocre job with, just as they have always done. GREAT. 3 1/2 stars.

I recently moved to Grand Terrace and was recommended to try American Nails by a friend who likes this salon. I have been twice and Kathy has been my technician. Salon is recently updated and is very clean, freshly painted and new machines have been purchased. I appreciate appointment times are respected, pedicure bowls are protected by disposable liners and manicures and pedicures are beautifully done. Prices are competitive and salon appears to be able to take walk ins as well as guests with appointments. Give it a try, I believe you will be pleased by the staff and service. read more
