    Look how they cut the cuticle of my pinky :( still have blood
    Lili H.

    I went to Dalena's Nail & spa to get my pedicure and manicure before a vacation trip. I had 2 different nail technicians working one on my hands, one on my feet, In the middle of the process the lady working on my hands, cut me on my pinky :,( Too bad for me, right? She didn't even apologize for her carelessness. I kept bleeding and she kept working, she paint my nails on top of my own blood. Not nice. The lady working on my feet did a better job, but still their demeanor is not the best, probably I'm asking for too much. Idk. But nice manners and a bit of conversation would be cool. But a good vibe would be nice! Some money later My nails look red and shiny, so mission accomplished Right?

    Love the natural look and shape

    I was welcomed right away to a pedicure chair. Greeted by Jennifer and Janette I believe those were my nail techs total sweet hearts very kind and they transformed my nails and toes I went in there feeling like I needed a little treat for myself and that's what I got I got treated with great customer service and feel absolutely ready for this easter weekend I went with basic colors but I absolutely love them. Just what I asked for

    Went in to get a full set. Asked for square and french tip and they came out too fat, not narrow at all. They look like duck nails. The lady was super rough and cut me while cutting my cuticles, didn't even care. They also burnt my mom's eyebrow while waxing them. Will not be coming back. Payed $55 for these nails and my mom payed 55 for gel pedicure... overpriced.

    The nail technician claimed these were the nude colors. Do these look like nude or cream to you?!

    Who hurt you, Dalena's Nail Spa? I had thought I found a hidden gem when I found you a few months back, but now I see you're just like the others. It truly is very hard to find a good nail salon -- especially during a pandemic. This place was decently priced and I was here only a few months ago for a $35 dip. I came in to have a pedicure and dip powder and was told that the dip powder was $45. I thought that was crazy, but I have a wedding this weekend and figured I'd pay it anyway. What I found interesting is my nail tech did the most to talk me out of it! When does this happen?? She said the gel manicure was much cheaper which I thought was weird to talk me out of an upsell, but I begrudgingly said okay. After some time, I realized my nail tech was rushing through and presumably wanted to be off on time at 7pm since she still tried to upsell me on other services. I understand wanting to be off on time, but why accept my 5:30 appointment if the services requested will be rushed? It was really disappointing. Additionally, I wanted a nude or cream color to match my dress for a wedding. The variety was another disappointment. I could've sworn there were more nails to choose from the last time I visited, but I tried to make a selection from the choices given. The "nudes" the nail tech suggested were not nude at all! They were pink or mauve. After trying three different colors on my nail, I opted for white since the nail tech was visibly frustrated with me. I don't like being a hassle and just did the white color like the nail tech previously suggested. I didn't like the color at all, but I just let it go. Next came my manicure and another let down. I had two broken fingernails and notified my nail tech. She agreed to fix them with dip and charged me $7 which was fine. Upon completion, I disclosed that I had another nail which was broken and the nail tech glared at me and said, "why didn't you tell me sooner?!" I couldn't believe her tone. I told her it was fine and that I didn't need it fixed even though I really wanted all my nails the same length. She also continued to make inconsiderate remarks about my nails. I had recently painted my room so my nails needed some TLC, hence, the nail visit. She proceeded to be extremely rude throughout my manicure and I stopped trying to make polite conversation altogether. Once my nails were dry, I tipped her, paid and made a note not to come back again. Nails are a service. Customer service is important. I'm so disappointed with this place. Fellow Yelpers, if you know of any nail salon recommendations in the Riverside area, please let me know!!!

    Ladies are always very nice. I have been lucky to just call in the day of and get a same day appointment. Very clean and fast.

    Jennifer is very welcoming at her salon. Jennifer and Justine are great and fast at doing my nails. They seem to be proud of their work especially with all their experience. The other ladies that work there are also proud of their work but their standards and expertise are lacking.

    Love this place! Always fast and great work. Prices are reasonable. The ladies are very friendly. Walk-ins are welcome and if they are busy they'll let you wait or come back when they slow down.

    My family has been coming here for years and it's stayed the same. The same people have been working here since I was a little girl! This is the only place I will get my nails done comfortably without worrying about infections and such. Lisa is amazing and probably one of my favorite people here. She is so sweet and always caters to your needs. Victor is also really nice and great with the nails! The quality of their work is really worth the price and beats other places. The acrylics last a while and the colors never chip/fade. If you are debating whether or not to come here, just do it. Prices are decent but the service is great. :)

    Tom did a great job. It took long but I didn't mind because he was very detailed and I could tell he was proud of his technique. He cleaned each nail after the polish job and didn't rush it at all. I got my eyebrows done too and they were perfect. Pedicure was great too. Only took 1 star off because I thought it was weird that I had to pay $5 to get my feet scrubbed. Isn't that a part of the experience ? Next time I come in I will definitely book an appt. instead of walking in. I liked how they were really respectful of their customers time who did have appointments. Nails: $32 Pedicure: $23 with the foot scrub Eyebrows: $10 clean up

    Beautiful set of coffin nails done by Jennifer

    My favorite spot!!! Everyone's great, been coming here for years. Not a fancy spot, just awesome skills & service! 5star

    Jennifer and Lisa are amazing with nails and pedi! They accept walk-ins, but its best to make an appointment.

Original review: After researching nail salons for a couple of weeks, I decided to book with The Nail Salon. I scheduled my appointment through text and was asked to send a $20 deposit through Zelle, which I did during our conversation. When I arrived for my appointment, I was told I didn't actually have one scheduled. I showed the text messages and proof of the deposit transaction. She explained that because I didn't specifically tell her the payment had been sent, she didn't realize the deposit was from me and never added me to the schedule. At that point, I probably should have left, but since they weren't busy and I had already paid the deposit, I decided to continue with the appointment. The pedicure was honestly very relaxing, and the massage portion was excellent. Unfortunately, the manicure experience was much different. I requested a full set, showed a couple of inspiration photos, and trusted the tech to choose the best products. During the application process, I noticed the nails were crooked and mentioned it. I was told they would be fixed, but the final result still looked uneven and nothing like the inspiration photos. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that multiple times during the manicure, the misunderstanding about the appointment was brought up and framed as entirely my fault, with no acknowledgment of the communication issue on both sides. I'm admittedly not someone who likes confrontation, so after bringing up the crooked nails once, I stayed quiet, paid, tipped, and left. I left disappointed because I had really hoped to find a salon I could return to regularly. The pedicure itself was great, but between the appointment confusion, the interaction during the service, and the quality of the manicure, I unfortunately won't be returning. I'll now need to pay another nail tech to correct the set.

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.

    I am conflicted. I only recommend this place because for once, most of the people in there are…read moreactually good with nails and can do design. A couple of them are really talented... 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 am really glad that I walked in because they have been nothing but so lovely and so, so wonderful. What I appreciate most is also the people who own it and staff there are also kind people. The owners Yvonne and Vincent are so great and genuinely kind. And it's not a fake smiles and fake customer service and two faced kind ya know?? They are just so respectful to each other and the way their demeanor and they speak kindly and polite to each other as husband and wife -you can tell that there is so much mutual respect and love between them and it's not like your usual husband and wife hostile behavior with a nail shop couple yelling and belittling each other in front of clients, etc. (Other staff are also very nice and welcoming!!!) People don't realize how rare it is to see a husband and wife, actually respect and love each other and speak to each other kindly or is that just my trauma speaking, lol but it was very healing to witness more than once. It just reflects the type of people they are, the managers they are, and the kind of healthy environment they provide by how they treat each other and staff. Not many people follow the golden rule to treat others how they want to be treated and it's very rare to experience common decency. 10 billion stars seriously!!!! Highly highly definitely recommend!!!!! My nails came out beautifully and perfect. I'm so obsessed. Major confidence boost as soon as we finished up. I got a milky gel and Vincent did beautiful work. He's very thorough, very kind, so gracious and made sure that I was comfortable the entire time and let me mess with my phone. I'm sure how annoying that could be for other people lol and they make it known, but there was not a single bad vibe here. There was no animosity no drama no negativity. It was just very peaceful in there and I'm really grateful that I got to experience this because it's been a long time since I've had a set of nails that I loved. I will definitely come here every time that I can for as long as I can to support them! I'm very proud of them - thank you very much Yvonne and Vincent !!!!! 1 billion stars out of 1 billion stars you guys are amazing and I appreciate you so much. You have no idea.
