I wish I had read the reviews before going to Bella Nails. I went to Bella a while back and everything was fine. This past Sunday afternoon on August 4, I had a dip manicure and it was the worst nail experience I have ever had!! The technician cut a chunk, yes a chunk out of my cuticle area. She took some of the skin she cut off another cuticle and laid it on top of the cut. Then she continued to rub it aggressively with a towel making matters worse. She finally applied some kind of styptic powder to stop the bleeding. The dip she applied extends all the way to the start of the cuticle on some fingers and others nails look like they have been growing out for two weeks with large gaps between the cuticle and polish. I used dip because I do not want to have UV light on my hands and she put my hands under a UV light. I asked why and she shoved my hand into the device. I figured OK maybe I am confused. I was NOT confused. If that is not bad enough, the technician then dripped the hardening top coat on to the pad of one of my fingers. Once hardened, it is very difficult to remove. The technician attempted to rip off the hardened drop of polish when I told her STOP you are taking the skin too! I ended up with another wound because the damage had been done. No apology for the injuries. You would think she would have told them to give me discount. Nope! I will NEVER go to this salon EVER again and you may want to think twice before you spend your hard earned money for a relaxing experience only to end up frustrated, injured and completely disappointed. read more

It is with great sadness that I must change my review of Bella Nails. Since the change of ownership a few months ago it has completely changed. Not just visually, but the energy has suffered drastically. It's no longer a pleasant place to relax after a long hard week in the trenches. Not only do you feel like you're being rushed through your experience, but you're being continuously harassed throughout your visit to upgrade your services. And the price is always different. My BFF and I received the exact same pedicure last night - mine was $22 and hers was $44... Hmmm. And a couple of weeks ago it was $29. Something is up, and not in a good way. We miss Kelly terribly, and her energy. We'll be bouncing around La Quinta for the next few months until we find a new salon to call home. Hopefully it won't take too long. read more

Best Nail Salon in town. I have been going to Bella Nails for years and have referred many of my friends who are all now loyal customers. I cannot recommend this salon enough. Everyone is so personable and friendly. They offer many different services including eyelash extensions and SNS dip. Helen and Mimi are amazing at what they do. Thank you Bella Nails for being so awesome! read more

Four of us stopped in to get our feet and hands done. They took all of us in without an appointment thankfully before we had to take our friends to the airport. They did an amazing job and prices are extremely affordable. Place is very clean and there's lots of parking. Depending on who works on your hands and feet, some of the workers have a very strong Asian accent. You might find it difficult to understand what they're saying read more

Omg!!!! Please read this. Worst experience ever. Why would you have me soak my feet and wait when obviously there are 4 people getting pedicures that also are waiting. I made an appointment but obviously that doesn't mean anything but money signs to them. I made an appointment elsewhere and just grabbed my sandals and walked out. They didn't even offer a towel to dry me feet off. Now tell me... are you sure you want to go to a place like that? read more

Bella nails has excellent customer service. They are prompt to get you seated in their spa chairs. Even on a busy day the staff works very hard to make everyone feel welcomed and accommodated. This time I came in the afternoon on a weekday, it was calm and relaxing. Looking out the window, I got to enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains as I had two staff members work on my manicure and pedicure. Tonya, took care of my gel French manicure and did (as she always does) an impeccable job. My pedicure was taken care of by Nancy and she did a great job of giving me exactly what I wanted despite the fact I had previously cut my own nails super short. My French tip nails look gorgeous. read more

This was my first visit to Bella Nails and I will definitely be back. Helen and Philip were fabulous and did a great job on my hands and toes. Even a pretty basic pedicure came with a hot stone massage. I had a gel mani and regular pedicure. Just a heads up - tips can only be given in cash. read more

I never post reviews however I must for this place. I found this salon on yelp with high ratings and decided to go here as an out of towner. Made an appointment for 9am and got there the place looked nice and was greeted by Philip. Long story short I left the salon at 11 am for a dip manicure. It took two hours for this man to complete a simple manicure in which he apparently specializes in. He kicked me out of his chair at about an hour and half and handed me off to another woman who continued to "finish" my dip manicure. She applied the wrong top coat and I did not realize until after I left the salon when I looked down at my nails and they were all starting to bubble. I came back and pointed out the issues and Philip accused me that the problem was because I used soap when I washed my hands the first time during my manicure which was completely false. After defending myself he decided it was time to fix his mistake. He did my nails with an attitude and applied the wrong top coat once again and my nails started turning white and blood was coming out from my cuticles from the cuts he had made and I told him it was stinging and I was in pain I asked him what was happening and he ignored me and removed the top coat. I sat there for another 20 minutes and he finished my manicure. I left the salon 2 and a half hours after my appointment at 11:45am with extremely painful and infected cuticles. Thank you Philip and Bella nails. read more

S&S nail treatment the best.... healthy nails again!! read more

I have been going to this place 2 years and love it!! They are clean (sealed tools, bags on spa tubs) and professional. They are very accommodating with times. I've been in last minute for special occasions and they always fit me in. I'm a new mom so I don't get to get my nails done as often as pre-kid life. Since I don't go as often it's super important I get quality service and don't feel like I wasted time/money and Bella Nails never disappoints. I typically stick to basic nail polish manicures, but this last time I did a chrome gel manicure and it was awesome! We spent spring break vacationing and a couple of days at the water park. My nails still look beautiful! Helen did a beautiful job. Pedicures are always wonderful there. I highly recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Lady doing my nails was too rough. When drilling my nails she just said sorry and continued to go faster. She was in rush to finish them to get to another customer. All the tools look unsanitary. When doing my nails she would "tap"(hitting my hand) my hand to get the excess dip powder out. The work on the nails didn't look clean lol! She charged 48 for short dip nails, which is way more than it should be. read more

Miss Helen, I am not pleased with my gel manicure...sloppy ! pedicure was great lady did a fantastic job. read more

I love this nail salon! I just recently moved here from LA and I have been searching far and wide for an amazing nail place around here, and Bella Nails is the place!!! Mi made an appointment on a Sunday morning for just an hour later and I wasn't quite sure what I wanted I saw a picture online and gave Helen an idea of what I might want, and she took the ropes from there! I've literally never liked my nails more from anywhere I've ever had them done! Come check this place out!! read more

I've loved how my nails come out every time I come here! Helen and Mimi always make sure EVERYTHING is to your liking. If there's something you don't like, they'll change it right away.

Bella Nails - SNS with gel polish - Nail Salons Near Me - La Quinta, California

I have been going to Bella Nails in La Quinta for the past 2 years. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Helen does a great job shaping my nails just the way I like it, not too thick or thin. I get the powder nails most of the time because my nails stay healthier then acrylics. I had her try the powder chrome blue color for the first time and it came out awesome (see photo). Bella Nails is a great place to have a pedicure also, Tony does a great job too! Again, I love Bella Nails, I'll keep going back. read more

One of the worst nail jobs I've had done in a very long time. Simple request couldn't be met. Philip has the worst customer service and his nail work doesn't help. He completely messed up the shape and my nails were burning. He got up and had someone else finish. I have cotton under my color. Rough edges and runny nail color. I asked for sparkle tips. Couldn't be done.... too bad I had a lot of coworkers in town looking for a good nail spot. We'll keep looking. read more

I made an appt and when I showed up they stated the person who I booked it with wasn't there and the person who was supposed to do my nails was with another client. The woman who I wanted to do my nails was not empathetic and kept blaming the person who works scheduling. Personally, wouldn't have cared if someone else could've done it but they couldn't accommodate. Poor business scheduling and recommend they for fire that out before all their clients leave :) read more

I love my nails!!. I like keeping my nails long so to protect them I opted to get SNS on them which helps keeping them strong. They turned out great:). read more

My experience was horrific. Phillip cut my cuticle with the buffer machine several times (taking a piece of skin off the 1st time -- ouch- it hurt and bled so bad...). After that he cut into my cuticle when attempting to give me a manicure. The nail polish dried clumpy and uneven (thick and bubbly). Furthermore, he kept leaving the nail station to gather items, as if he didn't know I was coming (Even though I had an appointment). It was so bad, I didn't expect to see my nails look so terrible. Lastly, I was extremely disappointed when I was not offered any type of discount for the inconvenience or anything of that sort, so with that said I will not be returning... read more

We tried to give them another chance but nope! Broken nails within days! Its so rude that they speak in another language all the time. I would love to find a place that doesn't do that! I'm bilingual and would not do that to customers. read more

I've been to Bella a few times now and it's been pretty hit and miss. I went again just recently because VIP Nails was jam packed! My mistake. I should have waited. Philip did my French dip manicure and Sony (sp?) did my more expensive pedicure. Where to start; Philip ground down my nails so that the nail beds are almost translucent, even with 2 layers of dip and 2 top coats of shine! The manicure does not include anything but removing and reapplying the dip material. No such thing as applying a cream, cleaning your nails, massage . Nothing Nada! Sony has communication issues. I have an injured ankle and VIP techs have been very good about being gentle and doing a great job. Sony decided to try some intense reflexology despite me telling him to stop several times, and Philip communicating something I could not understand. Sony repeatedly pushed pulled prodded and poked my ankle despite numerous times of telling him to STOP! Do not touch my ankle! Needless to say $115 later I walked out with a genormously swollen ankle and a pretty crappy manicure . I am never ever ever going back read more

I went this morning to get my eyebrows done and had a terrible experience. The wax was so hot I have a burn in between my eyebrows, and the technician didn't even do a great job. They're arched too high and she took too much off the right one in the middle so it's uneven now. To add insult to injury, she asked if I wanted to get my lip done and I declined and she told me that I need to. Thank you Bella nails for the bad eyebrows, burn, and self consciousness. read more

I specifically made an appointment for a powder dip nails at 3 PM waited 30 minutes to get seen which is fine because no other nail places are open in California. Had an appointment with Helen there was no Hellen some guy that was fine as well. Told him upfront that I'm allergic to everything and to only do powder dip he did straight acrylic and burned on my fingers put them in an ice bath continue to burn and now they're flaking off and still burning a day later told me that it was easier for him to do acrylic read more

Omg, I love this place!! My friend and I found this place during our visiting of the city, and decided to walk in Bella nails. Mimi did great job with my pedicure, so did Helen with my manicure. They put small marble stones and a slice of lime in their mani bowls, and offer you to charge your phone. What a great customer service, but the price is so reasonable! ($35 for mani pedi combo). The massage chair was very comfortable, and interiors and environment were the most soothing and the cleanest among a few other salons we've checked before we came in here. I completely felt cared by people would here. I am sure I will come back Bella nails again! read more
