Athena Nails & Spa - The best full set I've ever had. Bless you Cindy - Nail Salons Near Me - Temecula, California

Haven't had nails on in awhile. Needed to find a new salon and read the Yelp reviews. Nicki is really good! I really liked the shape of my nails and she was very helpful with color choice (and patient ha!) She spent a great amount of care in perfecting my nails.. awesome! read more

Slowly becoming a regular at this salon and I'm loving it more each time I come. This is my 3rd review for this place so I just wanted to quickly mention that these technicians really work hard. They put a lot of effort into your nails and can work fast too! I always call last min. (Sorry) but they get me a spot the day of. I called when they opened yesterday morning which was a Thursday and was able to come in at 10 am. Laura did my nails and paid close attention to them. No bumps. Nice and even. She even cleaned the edges. This was my first time in years getting acrylic but I had to because my nail broke super short. But I love them! Might just continue getting acrylic for a while. (Usually just get gel polish on my natural nails). I remember when I used to get acrylics at a salon in Murrieta a while back.. They would always put too much powder making it look waaaaay to thick or they would be super flawed. Laura perfected every edge, cleaned up the glue and powder underneath my nails. Thank you! Definitely want to try a coffin or squareletto or ballerina (whichever known as) tip next time :) read more

Athena Nails & Spa - Gel #455. Acrylic full set by Laura - Nail Salons Near Me - Temecula, California

Athena nails never overbook, they take you at your appt time, and able make same day appts. Laura is my go to girl. She's so nice and funny. She takes her time, does an awesome job and whenever she puts new acrylics for me my fingers are never sore after. Some nail techs are really rough filing and my fingers can be sore for days after getting new tips, not with Laura. I can show her any picture and she will recreate my vision everytime! read more

I am in town for a wedding and I desperately needed to get my nails done but I'm terrified to go anywhere I'm not familiar with.. I went here on the shin, on my way to a nail salon that was farther away and decided to give it a try. And I'm glad I did. read more

Took me a while to find this place after moving to Temecula. I've been getting fail after fail nail shop till I found this place. I still give this place 5 stars since I really like them, but nothing compares to a $20 acrylic gel in San Jose. This place comes very close though. Plus, its not ghetto and full of ratchets like my old nail salon. The workers here are super nice and friendly. Some of the girls there are super fun to talk to while you're getting your nails done. They're also a family owned mom and pop shop. Dad does nails too! They have the best pedicure chairs I've ever sat in. It massages your butt! Feels so good after a day of squats at the gym. Their prices are lower than most nail places in Temecula as well, plus they have the largest gel/shellac selection I've seen in Temecula. They also offer eyelash extensions for $35 (not a bad price for most other places). It's not on their list of services so I found out just through talking to them about it while getting my nails done. Ask for Phoenix to do your lashes. She's amazing at it, fast and hella chill to talk to. She knew exactly what I was looking for in lashes. She puts it under your real lash line so it doesn't show on top and still looks like your regular lashes but fuller. I will always come here for all my beauty needs, besides my hair. Tip them well ladies..and some gents :) read more

Athena Nails & Spa - $35 lash extension. Should last for 2 weeks. $20 for fill - Nail Salons Near Me - Temecula, California

I'm extremely happy and satisfied with the experience I had here. Getting my nails done has always been a source of anxiety for me as I've had some not-so-stellar experiences in the past, and going to a new place is especially nerve-wracking regardless of how well the place has been reviewed because I always seem to have the worst luck. Boy, I could not have been more worked up over nothing for deciding to go here. This salon was highly recommended to me by a friend of mine a while back, but I was happyish with the place I was going to at the time and did not listen. How I wished I would have listened the first time she told me that I wouldn't regret it. Regret is the farthest thing from my mind now that I listened. I called ahead and made an appointment for later in the day and ended up showing up early. I was sat immediately and had to wait less than a minute before I was being seen to. I was helped by Pheonix, who was a joy to speak to and an absolute doll. She talked with me about what exactly I wanted, looked at my reference photo and got immediately to work. I was dazzled by how fast and efficiently she worked and how detail-oriented she was. She checked every decision with me to be absolutely certain I was happy with how each step was coming along and somehow managed to keep a completely fluent conversation going at the same time. I decided to go an entirely different route than my typical full set of pink and whites. This time I wanted to go with the stiletto shape, which I've heard some horror stories about if the nail artist isn't experienced with. Pheonix didn't even blink an eye. My whole experience took about 45 minutes, and was very painless, both physically and emotionally. It's a little pricey, but I was expecting that for what I was getting. Even if I'd gone with my usual, I'd have been happy paying a little extra for how pleasant my visit was. The salon was clean and quiet and entirely what I like in a salon. Even the other ladies who were working were friendly and inviting. I will definitely be coming back here. My nails look amazing! I am a very satisfied customer read more

I was really looking forward to having my nails done here. I made an appointment, they started on time, my manicure portion was great and they were very nice. However! They did not at all live up to the hype. My polish is spotty and see through and it started chipping within hours of leaving. It's also so far from the base of my nails that it looks like I had them done a week ago instead of 2 days ago. I'm pregnant and this was a treat for me. I am very disappointed. read more

Athena Nails & Spa - Spotty color. See through and not at all right. Very disappointed. - Nail Salons Near Me - Temecula, California

I had a not-so-good experience elsewhere and needed someone to save me and my nails! I just started doing acrylics whereas before I relied on my real nails. I was referred to see Nikki because I've been told she's skilled with acrylics/stilettos/mani's. I'm so stinkin' happy that I listened. Nikki is truly amazing and is extremely keen on details. Next time, I'm just gonna pick my colors and let her do whatever she wants. I can trust her. And about the shop, the shop appeared to me as clean and surprisingly there were no strong odor of acetone. read more

They were friendly and welcoming. I made an appointment and they were running a few minutes behind. I didn't have a problem waiting. Henry kept informing me that they were almost ready and kept apologizing. Please correct me if I'm wrong but Mick or Nick did my manicure and pedicure. He did a wonderful massage for about 10-15 minutes. He was kind and helpful. Best pedicure and experience I've had in a long time! read more

This is my second time here to see Nikki and I have to say, amazing!!! She is fast, efficient, and meticulous. Perfect gel nails and pedicure. I have been searching for someone this good since I have moved here almost a year ago. You won't be disappointed with Nikki! read more

Love them. I've been coming since February. Mom, dad, and daughter have all done my nails. Gel sets have lasted me at least 4weeks without any peel or lifted edges. Today I came in looking for something a little more bold, showed Nikki a picture of the idea and she out did the job. I looooove them. She did a lot of fine detail on my small nails. read more

I normally go here. have been for almost a year. but my last set really made me want to change salons. i got a full set done, and a week, literally 1 week passed and I have a nail that peeled off, 5 nails are lifting and in the process of peeling off as well. Im not sure what happened but I'm in the process of finding a new spot. read more

They do very nice work but when I took off my polish myself, I had a white fungal infection on my toenails. I learned early in life that you do not clip cuticles because it causes them to grow out and can get infected and now I find that I have to clip cuticles that I never had a problem with before. I am 58. Be careful. These salons are getting a very bad reputation for this very reason. read more

I have been a regular here for a while but lately every time I try to make an appointment they can't get me in. Today I finally made an appointment and when I called the lady said come in at 10 and I said I work at 11 is that going to be enough time? She said oh yes that should be plenty. The lady took the whole 55 min just to do the fill part and I had to leave without my nails painted. She kept telling me to come back later today and get them painted, I don't have time during the week to come back for stuff that should have been done. Sadly I will have to look for a new place to get my nails done. Very frustrating! read more

Worst service I've ever had , never have I ever had a nail tech say they had no time for a manicure. When the place is empty and two hours before closing. Every time I attempt to have a simple manicure done there is a stupid excuse why I should come back another Day. Rudest employees. Never going again read more

Worst manicure I ever had done. Looks like a 5 year old painted my nails. Guess they were mad that I wanted a plain old mani, NO GEL!!! Cheap nail polish that even after 2 coats looks see through. SMFH! read more

I don't go to nails salons very often, and every time I go to any nail salon I always come out with my toes huerted or even bleeding... This time was different, the guy who did my pedicure didn't hurt me, and the massage was really nice. I'll definitely be back! read more

I only come to this place in times of emergency. I have to get on a plane tomorrow @ 6am & don't have time to drive 2.5 hours to my normal place Studio Nails in Panorama City. First time I came to this crappy shop I ended up with crusty nails. Paint wasn't cleaned up. Totally rushed service. Chunks of acrylic under my nails! I spoke with the woman and she had been doing nails since 1994 but yet still incompetent on how to perform a proper full set. Second time, I gave them another chance. I came in & saw Mindy. She saw what a crap job the last woman whom I don't remember the name of did. She laughed when she saw my nails. She felt sorry for me. To my surprise Mindy did my nails really well & I was happy with it. I came back to this nail shop because I usually get my nails done in LA because all the shops in Temecula that I've been to ended in horror. I schedule an appointment w/ Mindy for a fill & pedicure because I like her work. She started doing my pedicure & then I was passed off to Henry. My partner ended up getting a pedi by Mindy which was lame bc I requested her. My pedicure turned out ok. My only complaint is the French was the size of a space bar and when I told him it still came out too thick but all in all a good experience. Henry was nice, listened to what I wanted, and sparked conversation. He did a very good job massaging my legs as well. The disaster came when Cindy did my nails! She had a nasty attitude when I told her the white was too thick when I got a pink & white set. I never asked her to take the whole white off but she did! I thought she was just going to make them shorter. She said oh I already made them shorter. Seriously my normal guy would just make them shorter. Additionally, you could tell she was rushing through the whole thing. My middle finger came out looking like a fat stubby toe nail! The only reason my other nails looked good was bc my LA nail guy did them originally & I came in for a fill and she replaced the middle nail. As soon as I asked her to shorten them she started talking shit to her other colleagues in some other language which I knew was about me. I wanted a glitter line and was passed on to another girl. I was also left w/ acrylic under my nails so thick & asked the girl to fix it. She doesn't so acrylic nails. Oh god! I had to go back to Cindy who had a major attitude. It's not my fault you left chunks of acrylic under my nails. So she attempted to fix it but did a half ass job. I left still w/ chunks of acrylic under my nails just like the first time I came. On top of that Cindy was gossiping to her client about why she was late for her appt w/ client. Her client turns around in her chair & starts staring at me. Like WTF! Then Cindy gives me this death stare after the woman turned around I mean how OBVIOUS! I went in this place at 10:30 with an appt and left at 1:40! Are you kidding me? Who has that kind of time? If I wasn't leaving out of town tomorrow I would have just drove 2 and a half hours to go to my regular place. I'm in a out. No issues. At the end of the day I was charged 30 for a pedicure & 20 extra for gel! Seriously 20.00 extra? The cost of a whole freaking bottle of Gelish polish on Amazon is 15.95! Talk about bending over & taking it in the back door! 38 for a shitty pink & white fill. My partner got a pedicure for 36 no polish. Totaled out to be 138.00! I did not tip bc what was supposed to be a relaxing time getting my nails done ended in nasty attitude, shit talk to colleagues, & gossiping to clients about me. Had I not said anything my nails would have came out lopsided. Cindy your unprofessionalism ruined it for everyone who deserved a tip. Like Mindy & Henry & the girl who had to finish your work. I get the same services in LA that do a waaaaaay better job like 100x better (check my reviews w/ pictures!) for 93.00 not including tip. Cost means nothing to me at the end of the day if it's deserved & the skill is there. Save your nails the embarrassment of coming to this shop. I will never step foot in another Temecula shop. I honestly would have fathered just got on the plane w/ a missing fingernail and a fucked up set then go through what I witnessed today. I'm soooo disappointed. ***Update*** Basically a day later and my nail already broke off. 50 for a pedicure and my nails have broken off and gel chipping off. So much for paying 20 EXTRA for gel. read more

If I could give this place ZERO stars I definitely would. First, I walked in after 10 am to get a full set, and was told to come back at at 3pm with an appointment. That should of been my clue not to go back, but I figured I would give this place a try. I arrived back at quarter till 3, and walked in telling the rude gentleman in the front that I had an appointment. He looked at me and said nothing else. So, I stood there looking at gel colors waiting for an answer and did not receive one. I told them I would wait outside. Mind you it was cold, and the do not have enough seats inside for customers to sit on. So, I waited outside for 15min. Now, 3pm rolls up and I walk back in. Some lady tells me to have a seat at a stall, and again I waited until 3:10. Not one person greated me. The guy in the front told a few customers to go outside because other people were waiting too. At that point, I walked out of this place and I will never go back. Bottom line is, I would never recommend this place due to their EXTREMELY RUDE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. And, no matter if you have an appointment you will still wait. Don't waste your money or time here. read more

It's so great to come to a nail salon where I won't be judged for the colors I pick, because let me tell you-- it doesn't feel good when you pick a color you like and they just say "That's not a good color for your skin" like I am paying you to do this for me, I can at least wear whatever color I want But here, totally not like that, so I just went for the darkest color I could find and even though they didn't give me any grief for it, they really take their time to make sure your manicure/pedicure is perfect and I am so happy with this place! Plus they are very nice and will converse with you if you talk as well, no need to be shy! Good energy here, I love it read more

Absolutely OBSESSED with my nails every time! I go to Nikki and she always blows me away with her design skills!

Loooooooove this place. It is the only place I will go in Temecula. I have brought my mom and best friend here and they both had an amazing experience. I always come in with different nail designs and they always go above and beyond to make it look exactly how I want them to. My 6 year old has also gotten a pedicure here and is always asking me to go back. I also have a 7 month old that all the ladies and man talk to and play with the whole time I'm there to keep her entertained. I would never go anywhere else. read more

I was a walk-in with my mother. No greeting. Told the lady in front we would like a mani and pedi. Told to have a seat. No time given of how long to wait. I finally have to ask and she wouldn't answer me or even look at me three times! So incredibly rude. Finally, a gentleman came and said we will take you now and your mom in 20 mins. Great. I start to head back until a woman for her appt came late and took my spot and then I'm told to wait! I get if you have an appt, they would take precedence, but not when you already tell me you're taking me! Would never go back here or recommend to anyone. read more
