    They were good with my child's pedicure however my nails came out horrible! The lady tried blaming me for having dip powder prior and choosing white. Excuse me? You're supposed to be the professional!!! Waste of money and my total was $90 bucks! But the lady before me who had the exact same service was $65... horrible place never coming back. I never leave reviews like such but come on!

    Love my nails thanks Khara!

    Owner is always so nice and willing to stay after hours sometimes just to have her clients looking pretty and satisfied. Highly recommend her salon.

    My experience here was terrible I came in because I needed nails done for an event I had, they had what seemed like a trainee do my nails without even telling me and it took almost 2 1/2 hours for her to finish and I had to ask her multiple times to fix the lumps. She got angry with me and still didn't fix anything then charged me more than the original price was 0 stars!

    I came here twice and had good experiences with Ryan. However, this time, I just wanted to get an acrylic fill for $14, as listed on their menu. I ended up paying $30 including tip. I never said I wanted a gel color, but they assumed I wanted it and by the time I knew it was gel, the older lady painting my nails had already finished. And she didn't even paint my nails completely, which is why I'm so upset. I paid $30 for my nails to look like crap and they aren't even fully painted, which should be the easiest part. I won't be returning if they can't even paint my nails.

    I went in for a pedicure and gel manicure. The woman who did my pedicure took her time and did an amazing job but when she put the cream for the callus remover it started to burn incredibly. I put my foot back in the water and it relieved some of the burn. The gentleman who did my gel manicure was on his phone for a long time. He asked if I wanted a nail cut and i said yes. My natural nails were long and he made them very short. Right before he was going to put the gel nailpolish I asked him to please file my nails more because all my nails were different shapes and lengths. I asked him two occasions and both times he did not do very well making them even.

    I think I have been to 5 different salons and I have to say so far this is the best! The salon is small but they provide a variety of services. All the staff (Khara, Ryan and Jenny) were incredibly nice, personable, and professional. Let's get down to what the real review is, nails. I got a full set, and pedicure. My pedicure (white tip) done by Jenny was perfect. The polish was not crooked, and she painted very fast. Khara did my full set and I think the picture speaks for itself. They are flawless. I feel like this shop is the best kept secret in town. Fair prices, good people, great work.

    Very messy, thick, uneven

    Very upset with how this business is conducted. A male technician did my nails and an older female did my toes. Both were very sweet but not very experienced. My nails were very thick and chunky. He placed the nail tip too low on my natural nail. I have already had 2 break and one come off completely. I had asked for several things to be fixed while in the process. I went to another salon and had them fixed. I returned to the initial salon asking for a partial refund and she refused and said she'll fix my nails and toes.

    22.00 fill with gel.

    The staff here is nice, very welcoming. As for the work they do a good job and take their time. I'm very happy with the quality of work and service. They have a small staff so appointments are highly recommended. They take walk ins but expect to wait a while unless you are lucky and they have cancellations. Will be coming back!

    This is a wonderful place I get my nails and toes done at. I highly highly recommended this place to get your nails done for the holidays and get a certificate for a person for a gift at. Call Kara up and get the best business

    My Easter celebration nails by Khara!

    Khara is honestly the sweetest and most talented nail artist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is so polite to everyone regardless of the situation! When I ask for something she doesn't quite know how to do, she makes the effort to attempt it and if it does not work out, she fixes it. She is always open to new suggestions and also open to learning how to do new styles. Honestly, Khara is so friendly and I will recommend her and this salon to everyone from everywhere. Khara is the manager of this establishment and I have so much respect for how much she does for her clients and the salon as a whole. Just as an example, once when she was doing my nails, she was also installing a candy machine to help children with cancer. Like, honestly, she is amazing and if you live in the area you should DEFINITELY go to this salon and make the appointment with Khara! I promise it will be worth it. I've gotten so many compliments on her work, it's undeniable that she is incredibly talented. I have had SO many bad... HORRIBLE... Experiences with nail salons throughout the Lake Elsinore and Temecula areas and I feel so blessed to have found such a friendly and professional environment to enjoy. :D

    Kera is my hero. I been coming here for over 2 years now. I'm so happy every single time. If u nice to person why not they not tread u nice. I seen some nasty ass costumer treating them like slave . Sorry but I wouldn't shut my mouth. They handle the situation professionally. Never rude. Always on point on time. But I wish ppl not gonna make the app can call back and let them now. That would be help full for other ppl to get the nails done . Ryan his a bump too. Love them both

    Love them.

When I asked questions about pedicures, I was given the biggest attitude and pretty much told to go back to where I originally came from to get my toes done. Which is extremely rude. Because my original place is over an hour away, I decided to come here because it's closer to where all of my errands were. I used my Vietnamese translator to English and I seen that they talked trash about me in my entire appointment. I don't understand why nobody here is nice at least to me, but to everyone else they were nice. They was looking at me and each other, talking trash about me and decided to greet other people, but they didn't want to greet me or be kind. It was just really rude the way they treated me and based on the reviews, it seems like this is how they treat the majority of their customers. I'll never come here again after paying over $100 for services. The worst customer service. I'm still here yet they're still talking crap about me.

The salon itself was very clean and beautifully decorated, which made the experience even better. My daughter brought in a picture of the nail design she wanted, and they absolutely nailed it.

As I waited to be seem, I posted a story on ig and immediately got negative responses regarding the quality of their work. My appt started. Vee was my tech. I told her, "I don't like long and skinny, I like wide at the bottom and pointed on top". I also mentioned, I don't want thick bulky 1st picture was the shape I wanted and the 2nd was the style/color. I thought this was going to be straightforward and achievable. Right away I was informed I had to get a new full set if I wanted to do ombré'. I agreed even though I only needed a fill. She began the 1st set. They were thin, skinny, and narrow. She had to take them off and start all over. Second set wasn't much of a difference. I showed her the 1st picture again. She couldn't file the shape. Christy the manager had to come and take over. I was trying to make small talk with Christy, but it was apparent that she was bothered as she ignored me. She was rushing and was rough. Meanwhile, her client patiently waited and was friendly. Christy got closer than Vee, but the encounter was uncomfortable Christy asked if I liked them and I responded replied "it's better". I told her I liked her clients shape. Some of my nails came out close to what I wanted .The 3rd picture is what I ended up with. As I paid, the receptionist Candace who approachable and welcoming asked if I liked them and I said I wasn't happy but they tried. I was honest and thought they would make it right being it was my 1st visit. I responded to everyone asking how they did. I was advised to call and talk to Christy. They saw what I saw. I called back today and Christy declined to fix them. She said I told her I loved them. I never said I loved them. Anyone who knows me know I am honest about what I like. Color was off, nails are different shapes and sizes, and the professionalism/quality was not there. I really wanted to support a business in Lake Elsinore, but this is not the place. UPDATE: RESPONSE TO OWNER I called you prior to posting a review. I gave you the opportunity to hear my concerns. You said you would not make any changes to my nails. I had to pay another salon to get them fixed after asking you if you could fix them. Not the way to treat a new local customer.

    ***below was my initial review of letting go salon. I will say Lorraine's willingness to work with…read moreme and make this right was outstanding and exceeded my expectations by far. You can tell she really values her work and reputation which is respectable**** Lorraine asked me to call her an hour before my appointment to see how she was doing on time. She said i was good to come in at 7. Rushed over from work and wasn't seen until 7:40!! She checked the steelers score game, made a phone call, and worked on other customers nails while working with me. As you can see in the photos my fingers are inflamed and cut up. I showed her a photo of ombre nails with one rose gold marble nail. I have no problem with a manicurist saying they cant do a certain design but she seemed confident about it and this is how it came out! 3 streaks of paint and some glitter. She told me she couldn't do the massage thats usually included cause her fingers hurt but still charged the same price. You can also expect to be rushed out with crooked nails and gunk stuck under your fingernails

    After observing serious sanitation issues at numerous nail salons in the Menifee area for 10 years,…read moreI decided to put my foot down and find a "real" nail salon. Thrilled to have found Letting Go in early March when Lorraine put me on a waiting list and got me in on a Friday when another customer cancelled. Perfect timing, too, because it was just a few days prior to me and my mother putting ourselves on "house arrest" because of the C-Virus scare. Although Lorraine is a "nail artist," I told her I only wanted something similar to what I have been doing a long time; purple base with glitter. I asked her, don't you have samples you can show me from a bottle? She says, "We don't do it that way here. I custom-make your gel colour and glitter to your specifications." I showed her some pix of my nails from the other salon, and she used that as a starting point. Now that I trust her implicitly, I will likely let her come up with her own purple colour and glitter ideas next time. It is nearly a month since I had the work done and only ONE nail is starting to chip so far. I hope I can hold out until my house arrest is over, like another month, by clipping the nails carefully. This is a small intimate salon, not crowded with people since is appointment only. Unlike most other salons, the technicians are not rushing, so plan extra time for this type of quality. Also, be prepared to pay more money here than at an assembly line salon, but it is worth every penny of it. (My last nail shop couldn't even get the colours straight cuz the samples were often in the wrong spot with the wrong number). That can't happen here because there are no samples with numbers! I can't wait to go back for my hands and feet, hopefully by late May!
