    It looks so bad!! There's even a piece of dust/brush hair stuck!
    Charmaine F.

    It was an hour until closing so I called to see if they would still be able to accommodate me. I was told to come in, no problem. My manicure looks awful. I could tell it was rushed when I left but it didn't look AS bad until I got home and allowed my nails to dry longer. I don't know if it was because the polish they were using was old (I saw them add acetone drops to the bottle several times), the guy who did my nails didn't know what he was doing, or because everything was rushed so they can finish by closing time. Perhaps some combination of the three. Gel topcoat was used on regular polish that may not have been given enough time to dry despite using the mini fan. Overall, the manicure was a BIG waste of money. There's even a piece of dust or brush hair stuck in one of the nails! My pedicure looked good at least.

    White tip full set "short"

    I came early because I thought they open at 9:30 but they open at 10:30am, I did not have an appointment but I did call he told me to come right at 10:30 and they took me in I was very impressed great customer service don't have any complaints. I love my nails thank you!!!

    I went there for second time. first time only for a full and Joe said last person didn't know how to do nails and he didn't do much better. I had uneven fill. then went for new set & asked if he could put acetone with cotton balls to take off acrylic nails instead of dipping. Joe got offended and said been doing nails for 25 years and never seen that. He left me sitting there with cottonballa and took another Customer. He never came back after 45 mins so I wanted out. Horrible customer service. only he and wife work there. I understand why now

    First time here today. Found them on yelp. Decided to give them a try. I really like that they make sure your fingers are nice and moist dipping them in water they take the time to clean cuticles well. They also give you a hand and arm massage in the end which I love. Many nail places don't do that anymore. Even expensive ones that I've been to don't do that at all so I appreciate it in this place that they still do that. They have a variety of color to choose from which is awesome! Today I only spent $30 that's including my $5 tip for a Gel Manicure YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT PRICE!!!!! I will be returning!

    Very patient and kind husband and wife team. Great work and honest. Also they stand behind their work.

    They have great prices. I think my nails turned out really cute. Also, I had no nail pain. Sometimes, depending on the salon, my nails hurt while getting them done. The person who did them used the blue light a lot. They look really good, but I'm not used to using the blue nail light so much. I took a star away because I think the shop needs a good cleaning. Other than nail polish everywhere, it's a cozy little place.

    Tony is great! I came in needing a fill on a set of nails that weren't originally done very well. He said not to worry he would fix and fill them to make them look more natural. They look great! Thanks Tony!! Definitely recommend it here. They are friendly and care about the work they do.

    Brought my daughter to get her nails done. Tony and Kim never disappoints me. Beautiful work all the time!

    I've lived in Azusa for years and always past through this nail place but never came in until today. First and for most it's was very easy to book an appointment , The staff is quiet but friendly. I came in asking for a full set , medium long with a white thin French tip to the upper and side of my nail, I'm very particular when it comes to my nails and let me tell you the man is on point with detail, he then asked his daughter to do the fine lines , I was iffy about it but she blew me away , her steady hands to the fine lines were on POINT!! Didn't get their names but GREAT JOB!

    Absolute Perfection!!

    So I did not have an appointment this evening I called last minute and they were kind enough to take me in! I would have just been grateful for any service since it was so last minute!however they literally gave me top notch service my nails look amazing using the best pedicure I've ever had so so I highly recommend Tony at at darling Nails and his wife they do excellent quality work!!! Definitely make an appointment though! They get busy I just got blessed this evening!

    Love them!!

    I'm sorry I don't know names but the man who does my nails is awesome! So thin and natural looking. The lady who does my feet they always look good and I think the daughter paint my nails. I think it's so cute. She is super careful and meticulous. I found my spot

    Gel French Tips, still looking good after 2 weeks!

    This was my first time visiting this nail salon, and unfortunately it was not a good experience. My…read morenail technician, an older Vietnamese woman who I believe was named Nancy, was speaking negatively about me to a coworker during my service. She did not realize that I speak Vietnamese, so I understood everything being said. The situation made me very uncomfortable and felt extremely unprofessional. Despite this, I still left a tip, and she proceeded to comment on the amount, which only added to the disrespect. When I said goodbye to her in Vietnamese and let her know that I understood the conversation, it was clear she had not expected that. Professionalism and respect should be a given in any service environment, and it's definitely lacking here. I will not be returning. For potential customers considering this salon, be aware that conversations you don't understand may not always be appropriate.

    I wasn't planning to leave a negative review, but after reading the unprofessional and combative…read moreresponses from the management team, I felt compelled to share my experience. My review is not about speaking negatively of longtime employees, but about the management's deliberate actions. They knowingly misled customers for over two months, repeatedly pretending that Tom was still there just to protect their holiday business. I was literally present when this happened--this is not an exaggeration or a lie. Their lack of honesty and professionalism is incredibly disappointing. Wonder what rude response I'll get?

Except they actually don't have the extra long in stock, she was going to just apply the Long tip halfway down my nail bed. I declined and asked for the extra long tips I'm paying for. She then took out "xtra xtra long" and said $85 for these. So completely skipped over extra long and still charged me. Whatever , I agreed because benefit of the doubt. Once the foundation is laid, they ask me what designs I want. I showed them several pictures as inspiration and described what I would like, open to all suggestions and directions. They quoted me an additional $75 on top of the $85, and although I was completely shocked , I figured I was just out of my budget and needed to pick another design. Everything I suggested was $60+ on top of $85. Finally I asked ok what about French tip?! They said $25 extra. Okay, very expensive but I hope they look good. Keep in mind the entire time, only 1 person in the whole salon spoke English and whenever I would ask a question, my tech would yell for the English speaker very annoyed as if I was a problematic customer. I also got a full set gel x pedicure, and needed one nail repaired as it's growing back from falling off. When my tech was removing dead skin from the sides of my nail bed, she snipped my skin and cut me. In total for full set xtra long French tip and French tip gel x pedicure, I paid $190 not including tip. 3 days later, my repaired toe nail came off. Okay, maybe it was just too small of a nail. BUT THEN ON THE 4TH DAY, MY FINGERNAIL BREAKS IN HALF. $190 for basic nails, that break not even a full business week later. So disappointed, will never come back.
