I've been going to this nail salon ever since Mindy opened it years ago. She is by far the best manicurist ever. She recently sold the business to Crystal. The new owners are rude, overpriced and do a terrible job. Crystal has been late opening the shop at least four times ( I make my appointments first thing in the morning) and her excuse was "I have children". I've made appointments with her for my daughter and she kept us waiting for over 40 minutes before she finally showed up and then expected us to wait another 40 minutes. The one time Mindy was out, Crystal did my nails and they were horrible, lumpy and crooked. Don't waste your money or time! read more

They were very nice and friendly! Great pricing! Love coming when they have they mani pedi deals Monday- Wednesday before 1! Recommend them to any one who wants a great mani pedi! read more

Worst service ever. Polish was uneven, nails were too thin, two nails came off and 3 lifted within 3 days. Went back to get it fixed and was told to come back tomorrow because they were closed. It was 625pm. They close at 7pm. Went to vons next door, walked by and she took 2 clients after she said it was closed. Not one client was in there when I walked in. Never again will I go there. Awful service and rude. read more

My favorite is Holly she reeeeeally gets in there and gets down with pedicure. Friendly staff and comfy atmosphere. Pleasant experience overall read more

I'm really not happy with this place. I got my nails done on Friday first after 4hrs the whole top coat smudge and the next day I took my son to the park where I put sun screen on and soon after I could feel my nails very sticky so I called crystal (manger) and also the one that did my nails and she told me just to come in and it was a chemical reaction. I been getting my nails done since middle school that's not soppose to happen. and I'm here now and she making me wait? Why.. idk. Which that makes me more of unhappy customer.. Oh and to make even better she charged me $10!! I won't come back again. Do better express nails. read more

Don't go there! Plenty of other great nail places in the area! Long, longggggg waits once you arrive. If you get Mindy to do your nails, she'll tell you you're next, but then, if an old regular customer or friend comes in she'll then drop you like a hot potatoe and immediately cater to them! She's rude and unprofessional as a nail artist/owner! read more

I wanted to try a new place so I decided on this one and all I can say is I will not come back. It too 3 ladies to take out an ingrown nail! On to the next one! read more

Express Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

I ended up here because Urban Escape, across the street, was packed. So I found this place on Yelp. Anyways, there was only one person there around 1pm on a friday and so I was quickly helped. They were very quick and courteous, which is exactly what I wanted. I opted for the Spa Chair Pedicure... it cost 16, a bit more because you sit in the massage chair. The massage chair kind of hurt though, so I didn't really like that. But whatever. Overall, good place. It doesn't look super nice inside or anything like the other place did, but it was clean and I got in and out of there. read more

This nail shop is one of my favorite in Riverside. I had my nails done her recently and it took atleast 30 minutes or less. I got a design done too ( inserted a picture above ) it is the teal flower nails. The ladies there are super nice and inviting. The lady that did my nails, her name is Nancy, was very sweet. If you want a specific design on your nails, I recommend you show a picture. Overall, this shop is the place to visit when you want your nails to be looking fr read more

Express Nails - My daughters toes... - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

See all

I waited for the 2nd time to do a review over the place. I am not thrilled with how my nails we're done this time. The nail tech that was doing my nails got some of my skin on both hands. Every single nail. Not thrilled with paying 32.00 for a fill for gel nails when a full set of gel is 35.00. I understand why the full set is so much but for a fill being 3.00 less? Nope. I don't believe I will be coming again to this establishment do to the pricing. read more

Nancy has done my pedicure twice now and she is so nice!!! Close by my job and the atmosphere is perfect for getting your nails done after a long day of work! Because of Nancy, this is my new Friday eve treat to myself!!! read more

It was my daughters birthday and they gave her the full VIP treatment. Including free design on her hands and feet. Will defiantly be returning. Very nice ladies. read more

Very bad place and customer service don't go there, I got acrylic nails (short style) and a pedicure. Let me start by saying the acrylic broke the next day my pedicure is very bad the color is not smooth it looks nasty choppy. When I went in the next day to show how my acrylic broke and let me tell you it was the thumb one that is hard to break since is bigger. Broke I went in nicely to show and I even remembered my color number so they could not say No, they just sat me down with very bad attitude. They started all talking in their language saying things. The guy that fixed it did it in a badly manner, then he just left me there drying my nail. The lady that had done my nails was there she didn't even stood up to see or say sorry she turned around and looked at me bad. While one day before I even tipped her for her job. Well they just left me drying my nail no ONE said sorry. The nail looks crappy to start with and plus the Chinese guy hurt my finger nail I even have a bleed corner so rude. It was first time going and had a very bad experience I had never had gotten this kind of service. No wonder it been empty both days I went in on a Thursday went back on a Friday to get it fix both days only two person in there. Sad read more

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star!!!...it's a mess!!! The only reason I stayed was because I needed a pedi for an event that day...I will not be going back & I DON'T recommend it either!!! read more

I would not recommend getting a gel manicure here. I came here after reading great reviews...and it was down the street from my son's basketball practice. I decided to get my nails done here since I had time to kill until my son's practice was over. I was highly disappointed. My manicure was sloppy! I always get gel manicures and never have my nails looked so awful until today! read more

I love this nail place! They all do a great job and are very polite. Rose is the best at pedicures and the boss, her name is Mindy does the best nails. read more

Nice,clean, quick yet efficient! Come here ladies and gents prices arent crazy & service is great! Also grab a glass of champagne while you relax! Best spot in riverside hands down! read more

This is not my usual nail place, and for a good reason. I will not be back. I got a simple gel manicure. It took way too long. 30 minute job took well over an hour! They gave me the wrong color, but by the time we got to that point, I was so over this place that i didn't care what color they were giving me, I just wAnted out of there! Then, ten mins after I left, my nail polish cracked everywhere! So ridiculous. A waste of my time and money! read more

I got my nails done twice in this nail shop my French tips nail polish come off the next day i was charged 8 dlrs extra ! For this jack up job !! I've been there once and same thing my nail polish came off the next day!!..i was very angry i complained to the owner and among each other argue in their language. Finally the owner said she will pait my nails again for 5 dlrs more!! Wtf!! I said no !!nail express will never get my business again! The use old nail polish and diluted with acetone! No thank you!!! read more

I still have yet to find a place or person like Mindy. She really is amazing. After a few years of calling it quits, I decided to start getting my nails done again and came back. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming of me and my daughter. I don't see myself going anywhere else. read more

I come here whenever I need my nails done and they always do it quickly yet really well! This business has been around for almost 20 years and I can see why. My nail lady is Mindy and she's the best read more

Lee is amazing ! Thank you for your service ! Also The manicurist was good. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. I will definitely be back ! read more

Good nails for a good price . And is close to home so works out. Just make sure to make an appointment. T

I come here when I need my nails and toes done. I go to Mindy she's the best. This place has been around forever like 20yrs I think. My mani and pedi last about two to three weeks depending on what I'm doing during that time, this is just the regular polish not the gel. I don't know why there are people saying they have had stuff stolen right off their bodies lol. Because if anyone wanted to take something from me they would have to knock me out first, I just don't think any of these older ladies are capable of such things. Reasonably priced and fast I'm a girl on the go. Give this place a try and ask for Mindy can't be too bad if it's been here since the 90's. read more

Express Nails an honest nail salon! Great service! As I was getting my nails done. I went to wash my hands and I took off my ring and sat it down on the counter. Finished up getting my nails done. I paid then left, forgetting to get my ring. I realize that I had left it there I went back to the nail salon and they had put it aside. I was so relieved that it was still there! Thank you very much Express Nails, I recommend. read more

Here is what I love about this place...the best massage chairs I have ever experienced..besides that typical nail salon with usual prices for pedicures and fills. The staff is usually pretty friendly...they will let you stay on the chair as long as you want unless they are busy...and a plus they don't bother you to add on things that you don't want or ask for. So if you want a great massage while you get your toes "did" then give them a try...only other bad thing is they are not open on Sundays and they do charge you extra for using a credit card. read more

I absolutely love this place, Mindy, is the owner, she does my nails. She's the sweetest person, and down to earth. All the ladies that work here are super sweet. They take their time, and never rush! I've had horrible experiences around Riverside. Every single time i come here, my nails look amazing, and i get compliments. You should consider giving it a try. She also has a crazy amount of gel colors to choose from, and i love that you get to have so many choices. read more

I will start with what I felt went right and then why I gave it one star. POSITIVES: 1. I called for an appointment and when I arrived, I was seen quickly. 2. The shop was clean. 3. There wasn't incessant conversation between the ladies while I was there. 4. The customers were friendly. 5. Prices are in line with other shops that offer spa chairs. NEGATIVES: 1. The process took too little time. My regular shop usually takes an hour from the time I sit down to the time I put my shoes on to finish drying. 2, My big toe nails were cut at a slight angle and she didnt see anything wrong with it. When I ask her to redo it, she did but she was very hesitant to do so. 3. The lack of communication annoyed me. 4. After painting my toes, I noticed bubbles. She did fix it but used so little nail polish, it only looked like one coat was applied. 5. After the redo, I had to ask her to clean up my skin. There was purple in places there shouldnt have been. 6. As she was finishing the clean up, two customers walked in for pedicures. She went into hyper drive at this point, ignoring me to move on to the next dollar. 7. After the redo and the removal of paint from flesh, she put a small fan in a chair to dry them. As she was so busy to move on to the next customer, she didnt make sure it was stable on the chair and it fell on my foot, smearing three of the toes. I had to tell her FIVE times that toe #3 was smeared and needing repairing also. Up to #5, I had decided that it might not be a bad place to go back to, in case of emergency but after she checked out to attend to others before making sure I was taken care of and having to tell her so many times to fix my third toe, I'm taking a pass. read more

I like going here for a mani-pedi, but DO NOT get eyebrow tattoos by the owner!! When I went in for a consultation I showed her a picture and said this is what I would like it was pretty much the same shape as the eyebrows I have and everything was fine, until the day came for me to have my eyebrows done and I showed her the picture again, she didn't even want to look at the picture and said 'I know' so when she did the outline of the eyebrows I told her they were too thick and they were not correctly even .. my left eyebrow seems to be shaped okay my right is thicker and bulky.. this is permanent and it does not come off so now I am screwed and have to have a little bit of it laser removed and have redone correctly!!she charged me $200 for a crappy job!! this is permanent on someone's face!! it should be heard what the customer wants and what the customer should receive!!.. especially when you're paying $200 to have it done correctly in the first place.. I would not recommend eyebrow Tattoos by this Salon whatsoever ( hence the 3 stars).. I would highly recommend Eyebrow Candy in Redlands area, but to have your nails done or manicure pedicure, or Nails in general- this is a good place read more

The nail polish was chipping in a week and the bottoms of my feet felt rough also... I would only use this place in a pinch. It really doesnt stand up to the more expensive places where your toes can last up to a month. read more
