First time coming to this location and my lady was names Julia. She does an amazing job on my nails. As I haven't gotten a manicure in a long time, she made the overall process quite pleasant. I got a gel french manicure and Julia worked meticulously and is a perfectionist! I really like her and we bonded well which is surprising as this is my first visit here. Owner Don is quite good and gave me a run down of what's the difference in gel, gel X, dipping powder, and acrylic etc. I didn't even know there was so much variety in nail products! I have made another appointment with them and can't wait to see what design he recommends next! Overall very clean interior. You can pay with credit card (with a $2 extra transaction fee) or other electronic payments as well (ex: Venmo). read more

I took my 3 nieces here to get 2 gelx set and gel manicure and Don took great care of us! They both wanted designs from online and they matched it exactly and made sure we were all satisfied. The gelx sets with design were about $80-$85 each which is a pretty decent price! We called in on Saturday and they were able to accommodate our party almost immediately. We all left happy so highly recommend! read more

Don did a great job with my nails - this was my first time here. He perfected the length, shape and design exactly how I described it to him (and he only had to see and hear it once - great memory!). You can tell he works hard, cares about his work and customers, and really listens to the customer. He constantly checked in with me to see how I felt about every aspect if my nails and experience. I also came an hour before they closed and didn't think it would take too long as my design was more or less simpler. But I underestimated how long it would take and I'm grateful that Don still took me despite likely knowing he would finish past closing. I wish I could have given a larger tip but money is tight right now.... However, I will definitely be a regular customer - they have my loyalty! read more

One time I came here to get a full set and I had told the person at the front what I wanted and when they sent me to this guy who works at one of the last few desks middle aged he asked what I wanted and I told him a full set French tip he seemed bothered about doing the design so I just decided to tell him I wanted to just paint them black he seemed even more upset about that. Don and Nancy are really nice people but that other guy was a complete douche. For the price I pay I would expect good customer service considering they already charge a lot. read more

Worst experience ever I'm never the type to write reviews but had the worst experience here! a gentleman with the GUESS shirt assist me and when I told him no gel he was very upset? The owner wife also chimed in and kept asking why no gel, who the hell do these people think they are to be concern if I want gel or not? To top it all off the gentlemen in the front who I'm pretty sure is the owner tried stating that my toe nails were way over due and I should get gel x next time, as I'm paying in the front, so ridiculous! read more

Don is amazing. This review has been a long time coming. I got my nails done here a couple times just for fun, and then for my engagement and my wedding. Every time they have looked beautiful, and have lasted so long. None of my nails have ever chipped or come off, I've had to get them removed simply because they grew out too long! When I got them done for my wedding, I got a nail tech that I had never been with before (I have always been with Don before). I wanted a simple French tip which was beautifully done however after leaving I began to realize the white tips were much thicker than I really wanted them. I usually wouldn't mind too much, but seeing as these were my wedding nails, I wanted them perfect! I walked back in maybe 5 min after I had left, and Don immediately noticed me and asked if everything was okay. I explained the situation and he helped me right away, filing away the white paint and re-doing them for free. I was and still am so beyond grateful. They were perfect, exactly what I wanted. I've included pictures of how they initially looked, how it looked after getting the tips re-done, and a picture of my husband and I three weeks after I got my nails done. I didn't take them off until over a month after my wedding, they stayed on so so well! The only reason I took a star off is because I did have to get them partially redone when I showed a picture of exactly what I wanted, however I would still absolutely recommend Candy Nails Lounge - ask for Don! read more

Horrible customer service. I had an appointment with Nancy for my pedicure. She does an awesome job and that the reason I didn't mind driving far to get my pedicure with her. the gentleman at the front desk who most likely is Owner is very rude, unprofessional and greedy. He clearly knew tat I was there with an appointment but he took 3 wslkin pedicures and expects customers with appointments to sit and wait. After waiting for 30 minutes past my appointment time I decided to leave. To make the matter worse he was yelling to my face that he couldn't do anything because there was no chairs availabe. There is a reason that some of us makes the time to make appointments because we can not wait for hours. Hope he will learn to respect people's time and learn manners to treat people the right way. read more

I was referred to Candy Nails Lounge by my daughter. I was in need of a good pedicure, manicure, and eye brow arch so, I went in without an appointment at the perfect time. Ms. Hannah did a fantastic job on my pedicure, she took her time and I was able to enjoy my pedicure however, I was not pleased with the outcome of my basic manicure by the other person. Nancy did a good job on cleaning up my eyebrows and she was a pleasure. My overall experience was Great and the Customer Service was exceptional. I do plan to return and will definitely make an appt because I saw how fast they were getting busy. read more

Candy Nails Lounge - Perfect Pedicure on a sunny Saturday done by Hannah - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is a total joke. Completely unprofessional and poor customer service. Nail quality I got was below zero. Surprised they are still in business. Believe the bad reviews. Employees will literally ask you to write a good review in exchange for a gift so now you know why there are "good reviews". I visited this salon to get a manicure and pedicure for the first time about a month ago and I decided to go back on Saturday to get a manicure and pedicure. Before we started I asked if I could be out at a certain time and the front desk guy Dong said that it wouldn't he a problem. Vu gave me a gel manicure but was taking his sweet time he took a few breaks in between while they were doing my pedicure which I didn't mind but when the time was getting closer to 12:30 (time that I had to leave) I told Vu I have to be out within the next 15 minutes and if he could please start polishing my nails. Vu still decided wait for my pedicure to be done. At this point the lady doing my pedicure felt rushed so she skipped steps such as sanding my feet or putting on lotion even.. at the time I thought it was a big deal because I really had to leave and I said to myself as long as my feet look clean and my toes look good it'll be fine. When the lady was done with my nails, she asked me to go sit at the table so Vu could do my nails, in between every polish vu would only allow my nails to light cure maybe 15 seconds. At the end, my nails "looked" polished good but I was worried because I knew how little time it was cured for. When I got home I noticed the bottom feet were super dry and I don't have callus btw but you could tell it was super dry skin. No sanding or any sort of stone was used on my feet. I called candy nails, I went back, out of my way because I had to go to a birthday party. They took care of my but Dong had to make sure that I knew that I he disagreed but that he would still help me. I thought he was being unreasonable but again, didn't think much of it. the next day I took a shower and my nails started chipping and my thumb nail came off. I called Candy nails and they asked me to come in the next day and I did. I got there and all I said to Dong is that I think that this happened because Vu light cured my nails very little time and Dong seemed really offended and argued that Vu did not and I repeated myself, "in between each polish he light cured maybe 10-15 seconds he did them super fast" again says "No we don't do that here" I replied yes you shouldn't and of course.. he again says no he didn't. I was very confused to why he would argue with me over something he wasn't there for to begin with. I said that Id like my nails to be redone because im sure the other nails will soon start falling off and he said okay. As he is doing my nails he startes speaking to his coworkers in whatever language and you can tell he is annoyed by his body behavior.. super unprofessional. He got done with my nails and he says I took care of the situation but I want you to know you're not welcome here and I said that's fine I wasn't planning on coming back and he says yes because you said that I called you a liar and you keep saying that he light cured for 15 seconds when I say we don't do that here. He kept arguing, didn't let me speak, constantly disagreed with my concern. I don't think Dong understands basic customer service because he'll help you but he'll make sure that you know how wrong he thinks you are. I first thought maybe he doesn't really understand English but he did not hold back when he wanted to argue with me. Dong reacted very emotional which made me feel uncomfortable. I was nice to them, I tipped them $10 on top of my service and I was treated very poor. Perhaps I shouldn't have gotten my nails done if I only had 90 minutes but I asked before they started and they said it would be a problem. read more
