We had the best time here this morning. We found Doki Doki on Yelp when looking for a nail salon for my daughter for prom. She looked at some photos and decided she wanted to come here. I called to make an appointment and was able to make one without any issues. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated. We had a bit of a wait because, it was prom. We met our friend from church here as well. My daughter went first since her nails were going to be way more involved. Chloe did her nails and did a fabulous job! They turned out absolutely amazing! They gave me a quote and I approved it, but it ended up being a little bit less. Our friend and I just got the deluxe gel manicures with the sugar scrub, lotion massage and paraffin wax with hot towel treatment. I was in heaven! Mia did my manicure and she was excellent! The place is super cute with pink and floral decor and playing great country music. They accept cards, cash and Zelle. $2 transaction fee for cards. Super easy to tip with Zelle as well. If you pay cash, they have a stamp program to get $20 off after you spend a certain amount and fill the stamp card. We will definitely be back! I think one of those pedicure chairs is calling my name! read more

I called this salon to make an appointment. It was last minute but after seeing the photos I thought I'd try. I was able to make one but ran late. I felt bad cause I was stuck in traffic. I called and asked if I should reschedule and they said it was ok they can take me. I told them a mani is ok and cancel the pedi cause it was my fault for being late. When I arrived they sat me down and told me they can still do both my mani and pedi. That was so nice of them. I know they didn't have to do that. Luckily I'm very easy and simple so it didn't take long to do what I needed but it was very happy they were able to do both services. Keep in mind I'm sure they can't always do this for everyone but it ended up working out for me. I was very happy with the end result. I will definitely go again. It was a little pricey than I expected but worth it for gel mani and pedi read more

**Don't waste your time or your time or money! I booked a pedicure and Gel-X full set nearly a month in advance for a 9:30 a.m. appointment. I specifically requested that my pedicure and nails be done at the same time due to time constraints. When I arrived, they did not have a nail technician available for me or another client who also had an appointment. I had to ask for someone to at least start my pedicure. I was assigned to a new technician who struggled to understand my requests. My feet were not properly scrubbed, both big toes had to be repainted because the polish was uneven, and I had to remind her that my service included a massage. The pedicure alone took about an hour and a half. Once another technician became available, she began my Gel-X set. I showed her a photo of the exact design I wanted and specifically asked for silver gems only. She confirmed she could do the design. After completing the ombré base, which was only average at best, she informed me that the gem pricing would be: * Pointer fingers: $20 ($10 per nail) * Ring fingers: $30 ($15 per nail) * Pinkies: $10 ($5 per nail) Although I was shocked by the pricing, I had already been there for over two hours and felt committed to finishing the set, so I agreed. Only then did she tell me she didn't actually have the gems needed for the design she had already agreed to do. I was told to choose a different gem shape, a different color, or a completely different design. When I explained that I had shown the design beforehand and received confirmation that it could be done, the manager came over and told me the photo wasn't from their salon and that they had supposedly run out of the required gems that morning. At that point, I had been there for over three hours and was left with a mediocre pedicure and incomplete nails. I finally decided to leave. As I was leaving, another customer who had been waiting over 30 minutes for her appointment was told they could only do part of her service and that she would need to come back later. She left as well. My biggest issue isn't that they ran out of supplies. Things happen. The problem is the lack of organization, poor communication, questionable skill level, and refusal to take accountability. Clients should not have to spend hours in a salon only to find out halfway through a service that the technician cannot complete the design they agreed to perform. I won't be returning. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at this nail shop. I showed the tech exactly what I wanted and clearly told her I wanted to keep my natural nail length. Despite that, she kept filing my nails shorter and even used a sanding band directly on my real nails, which was uncomfortable and damaging. She also kept hitting the tips of my nails, causing them to chip--then filed them down even more to "fix" it, making them much shorter than I wanted. I also want to point out that I understand sanding bands are sometimes used so product can adhere properly. However, I came in with builder gel already on my natural nails and was charged $15 for removal. If I'm being charged for a full takeoff, then all the old product should be completely removed--but it wasn't. They kept saying they weren't done yet, but I do nails myself, so I know what proper removal looks like. At one point, she was already sizing fake nails to apply, and if I hadn't spoken up and insisted that all the old product be removed first, she probably would have applied the new set over leftover product, which is not okay. On top of that, one of my nails actually crickets during the process, even one of her coworkers told her about that nail but she just ignored it, and she didn't fix it or even try to remove and correct it properly, which made the result even worse. I could tell they were struggling with the design I originally asked for, so I tried to make it easier by choosing a simpler one. When I asked about the price, I was shocked--they said each red bow would be $5 extra. At that point, I was already frustrated and just told them to do a basic base color with chrome on top because I wanted to leave. On top of everything, the staff kept talking in Chinese about me, assuming I wouldn't understand, which made the whole experience even more uncomfortable. The owner also had a very unfriendly attitude. Overall, I felt rushed, disrespected, and unhappy with both the service and the result. I won't be coming back. Update on the Owner Reply: I went to a lot of salon to get my nail done and there's no problem with them keeping my real nail under the gel x set. And you guys doesn't even know how remove it correctly so that the client don't feel the heat on there's real nail. You should continue wrapping the client nail with foils until it completely remove all the gel, what the tech did was wrap my nail only one time and then she just keep using the file to file the product down and you should know better that you shouldn't do that (your guys skills is the problem that make our nails thin). My cuticles are hurting right now, still hurt from what your employer did. You guys always said "sorry we will improve our skills and how you treat customers." But in the end it never improve. I recommend you guys go to "Chic Nail and Spa in San Dimas". A very reasonable price with great skills. I usually come here but the tech that usually did my nail went on a vacation that why I have to go to this salon. This salon defending their staff while failing to recognize their own mistakes. read more

Guys. I'm so happy I came across this shop!! I had just moved to Rancho a couple months ago, so I was looking for a new nail salon, and this is definitely the one. Everyone is so kind and I was able to make a same day appointment, was a tad late so they took me in a little later, but it's only fair. Had the honor of Elena doing my nails today, Gel X Medium Almond for $65. I'm not sure of the color name, but it was titled 023. Absolutely OBSESSED. It's so cute and feminine inside as well. My birthday party is this coming week and I can't wait to flaunt them hehe. Definitely recommend!! :) read more

A bit pricey, however, worth it for the result.

Showed up a bit before 10am on Thursday, and was seated in a chair for my mani in less than 5 minutes. The ambience is clean and girly. Pink everywhere! Super cute! I showed Jojo (I believe that was her name) the inspo pic and got to work. Beautiful manicure, outcome was as expected. I was looking for something closer to home and for a place who could do some designs as my regular salon in La Verne doesn't do anything crazy. Entire process took roughly 2 hours. I'm definitely coming back. Dip removal: $10 Gel-X (short almond) with gel polish: $65 Design: $45 Gel Pedi: $45 read more

I have gotten my nails done here a couple times. They always give amazing service! So cute in the salon and such nice staff as well. I 100% recommend this place! My nails have never been higher than $120. For example my new set (the yellow and pink ones) were only $107. I got gel x, and builder gel since on one finger that's why it was $107. Can't wait to come back in a couple weeks read more

I went to zen nail lounge upland & got this set, I broke 2 of my nails so i showed up to wait for them to fix them but they let me know they can't take me they are too short staffed. I let the front desk know I can wait but they said we just can't, I drive 20 mins. for that salon mind you (they knew I commute Fontana to Upland for them only). So I called around and doki doki took me in right away same day, they knew exactly what color would be the most similar, they were friendly, fixed my nails fast even though they were busy, the shop was clean and I'm just going to be going to them from now on :) thank you!! read more

2nd time coming to this place since my 1st time was good. NOT this time , left unhappy. Nail tech was Chloe. Nails & cuticles not done properly... yesterday my cuticle on 2 fingers were bleeding...Im thinking because she took my cuticles off dry. No soaking before. Never has that done before, but I was trying to trust her process. today my fingers feel raw & they hurt.. thats when someone files too close. Definitely not going back. Spending $137 not worth it. Pedi was just fine, if I new that techs name I would say. read more

My inspo pic were on longer gel x almond nails. I made some minor changes such as using one color instead of an ombré effect. I loved that Yan was able to adapt it to my shorter nails with builder gel. My fave is the 3D beetle. Overall it was a fun experience. Would recommend. read more

I paid $135 for a very basic service: short French tip Gel-X nails and plain white gel toes. For that ridiculous price, I expected better service and professionalism. During my appointment, I was called boring to add a design after choosing a simple look, which made it seem like they were trying to upsell me rather than respect what I wanted. The nail tech doing my hands was also rude for no clear reason pulling my hands and sternly speaking with me, even though I was polite from the moment I walked in, if I was moving or doing something to upset her, it could've been said instead of just immediately becoming aggressive with me. It seemed like she was annoyed that I wanted my old Gel-X set removed instead of getting a fill, but my natural nails had already grown out significantly underneath. To make the experience worse, as I was leaving, she loudly asked, "Tip, tip -- cash or card?" after I had already paid $135. Overall, the pricing felt excessive, the customer service was uncomfortable, and I would not return. read more

I recommend making an appointment in advance. read more

My manicure was nice it was not worth the price especially because it is only 10 days later my nail is chipped & lifting. I got builder gel that was done well but the gel polish French tip was not the best. My pedicure I opted for the pricier option with a 15 min massage & the massage was not good, my cuticles weren't cut well. My toe nails were not cut evenly some were crooked & overall I'd rate it a 5/10 read more

I came here to get one broken nail fixed before a destination wedding and trip after someone from one of my workout classes recommended this salon. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and I appreciated that they tried their best to color match my existing set when they didn't have the exact chrome pink shade I originally had. That said, the actual quality of the repair was unfortunately not great. The Gel-X replacement tip was placed and filed pretty poorly, the shape didn't blend well with my other nails, and the polish was flooding into my cuticle area. I wasn't expecting a perfect color match at all, but the final color ended up looking more peachy/shimmery than intended and didn't really match the rest of my set. Everyone was kind, but even for just a single nail repair, the execution wasn't up to the standard I'd expect. Based on this experience, I personally wouldn't return. read more

I always get the look I want here--especially with pedicures, they do a great job every time. One thing I really appreciate is that the nail techs aren't overly chatty. I like to relax and zone out when I'm getting my nails done, and they keep the conversation simple, which I love. They can take a little longer sometimes, but honestly the results are always worth it. The quality of the work makes the whole process feel reasonable. I actually drive all the way from Moreno Valley because I haven't found a better salon. The ambiance is cute and welcoming, and it's a nice touch that they offer drinks and snacks too read more

The shop is beautiful and the ladies are always great. I never have a hard time getting an appointment or being fit in if I don't

Brought my 2 teen daughter's here to get nails done. They were excited to have a new salon with new services. We knew the prices were higher than other places but wanted to try it out. Upon arrival they seemed judgy looking at us up and down. Then asked if our nails were done there previously. We said no and she went on to say it was a higher charge $15 to remove gel because not done there . Ok that was the first sign that they nickel and dime you for everything. It's just gel, not rocket science! It's like they are punishing you with fees because you didn't get your current work done there. Then they went to say the wait was much longer than expected. No thank you! We had an appt for a reason. Geez! just say you don't want new customers. Went to a different place and will never be back here . Is there a negative start rating ? ** addendum to owner reply .... The visit was in early February and as for your response about that fee ...none if any salons in area charge that high cost ! You must be delusional! Get off your high horse. "Safely removed" ??? Yea I've never had gel removed in an unsafe way. It's always soaked off and wiped easily off. I've been getting gel myself for years and you speak nonsense ! Just trying to charge for Anything and Everything! Btw I don't appreciate your bad attitudes for your ladies . Just because they are young doesn't mean you have to rip them off!! read more

They always do an excellent job. My nails never break and last a month. They do a really good job with designs. Price is fair.

I am a regular customer. Last week tho, Luna did my gel manicure. She rushed through the process, burning my nails when she grinded the gel down, and for some reason filed down the French tip at the very end so much that it was breaking apart throughout my week. It was the SLOPPIEST nails I've ever had, I only wish I took a picture. Not only that, at least 3 nails lifted which made my nails turn GREEN. They didn't time my pedicure and manicure right either so I spent a total of 4 hours there and still tipped. I came back and Stephanie redid my nails. I was so turned off by this whole situation that I just asked for cat eye without all the additional colors since I didn't want to spend another 2 hours here. I asked for a discount next time I return since I paid about $250 last time and asked for less this time, and she said "I didn't have to take down the gel at all but we spend time to do this for you." That response is outrageous. And I will not be coming back. I'll miss ya nancy! read more

Got a gel pedicure and a gel x full set and I loved it. I really did love my experience here. They do not half fast anything like other nail salons, they take their time and make sure their work is good quality. Prices aren't too bad and they are super nice here. Would definitely recommend coming here for all my Rancho girlies. read more

Mandy and Jojo are the BEST!! Just love coming here to get my nails done everytime favorite spot read more

I'm giving this place a 2, and that's only because it's cute. I've read plenty of glowing 4- and 5-star reviews for this spot, but unfortunately, I'm not one of them. Here's why: Out of the 5 or 6 employees sitting around doing absolutely nothing, only one greeted me with a "hello." When I mentioned I had an appointment, she just said "ok" and then assigned me to the least experienced technician. The technician seemed nervous and unsure of herself. Meanwhile, the other staff members were preoccupied chatting about the one woman getting her nails done. Then another customer came in, and they all stood around watching while the owner fussed over her appearance and carried on. To make matters worse, my pedi turned out awful--honestly, they looked like a child had done them. I tipped $10 for a total of $40, and it left me feeling even more frustrated because for $20 more, I could've gotten both a manicure and pedicure at my usual place. I only came here because I didn't want to drive to Upland that evening. I won't make THAT mistake again. The final straw was how I was treated when I paid. I used Zelle via the QR code at the counter and showed the technician that the payment went through. However, as I was leaving, she started chasing after me because, apparently, the money hadn't reached them yet. Thankfully, another staff member told her it had gone through, but it was such an uncomfortable and unnecessary moment. Between the lackluster welcome, inexperienced service, and overall unprofessional environment, I won't be returning. I also won't recommend this place to anyone. If someone asks about my experience, I'll be honest--it was terrible. read more

I want to leave feedback on my experience visiting Doki Doki for 2 time . Firstly Salon is very girly cute , attitudes was kind and lighthearted . They are nice. they had convinced me frm first visit that I needed to try overlay so I had the "overlay" done for my nails...if I'm having a service done, I want to trust fully nail tech is experienced and has done this many times until craft perfectly learned but if not , please do not practice on your clients without consent!! My advice is don't practice at salon. Your Salon bio info says your salon pay (exquisite attention to detai)...this was not my case. I want to trust I walk in salon that every one has great experience! Tech left heavy layer overlay sitting over my nails, very bulky filed terribly with jagged sidewall nail edges , one of my nails was offset so it look crooked, the nails were heavy and bulky looking. just understand not all clients will revisit if a job is poorly done, You're going to loose them this way. This is My honest experience . read more
