    I LOVE everyone here at Fabulous Nails! Jenny, Louis and their mom are always so nice and always do an amazing job! I tried out a couple of salons around El Monte, before landing on this gem and they've been my go to nail salon ever since, going on almost 2 years! It's always relaxing and I could literally nap while getting my nails and feet done! Thank you guys for always taking great care of me!

    Thank you for your response, Louis. I'd like to clarify a few things respectfully. You are correct that the charge was $75, not $80--thank you for the correction. However, $75 is still on the higher end for a basic acrylic French tip set, especially considering the quality I received and how unhappy I felt with the result. It's also worth noting that while the nail service itself took about 1 hour and 15 minutes, the total time I spent in the salon--including waiting and the pedicure--was much longer. I understand that timing may vary, but I was in the salon for about 3 hours overall. I did express polite approval during the appointment, but that was out of discomfort and social pressure--not true satisfaction. Many customers feel hesitant to speak up mid-service, especially when unsure how their concerns will be received. That doesn't make their dissatisfaction invalid. I hope this helps clarify my experience from a customer's perspective. I'm sharing my review so others can make informed choices, just as reviews are meant to do.

    Nancy took care of my spa pedicure and made sure everything was comfortable and exactly how I wanted (:

    I came in today and was immediately attended to which was amazing, walked in at 1:45 and was out the door by 3pm. I actually came during a sale special of 15% off which was a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure how long the special is but the customer service and quality was so good I'll go back whether they have a special or not. Nancy did my spa pedicure, without gel and Karen did my gel X set, (it cost me 85$ that's without tip) they both did amazing, love my nails. Thanks again ladies!

    I've been coming to Chi for a little over 2 years and I have no complaints. I've even had Louis do my nails and he does an amazing job as well. Nails are not cheap like they use to be. But every penny I have paid for my nails has been worth it. I get so many compliments on my nails all the time.

    This was my first time coming to this location and never again! A male did my nails I forgot his name but he didn't do a good job. He was very friendly which I appreciated but did a horrible job. Some of my nails looked like they were already growing out the first day I got them and the back of the nail wasn't fully filled. He even said "I'll fix it" but didn't. I really hope he was just having an off day or something because I can't imagine calling myself a nail tech but producing the low quality work. Overall would not recommend this place and not going back again!

    I usually don't like to leave bad reviews but I couldn't let it go the photo doesn't show everything, I had to pay 80 dollars for this, I don't recommend this place girls!

    My first and last time here. I am incredibly disappointed on the results of my pedicure. She cut my feet too excessively, came out worse than how I came in. I've never experienced this pain before when I get a pedicures. She's very sweet, I just wished she was more careful and light handed. Don't spend $42 on pedicure here! Save your money going elsewhere.

    Great service.

    First Time Customer I called to come in. When coming in ring the bell to come in. They attended me before projected wait tome. Cleanliness-very clean Time-Fast. For a mani and pedi Customer service-asked me if I needed water as soon as sat down

    This is what I wanted and I showed him the picture

    Update** I ended up talking to the guy who did my nails who happens to be the owner and came to an agreement that it was a lack of communication and he asked me to come back free of charge so he can redo them. He was kind enough to come on his day off since Mondays are my only days off to redo my nails.

It was empty which made me a little wary but it all worked out in the end. I'd give it a shot if you're around. I would probably call ahead cause they are very short staffed so walk ins may be complicated if they get busy. The services were done well and the ladies were very nice. My nails look good, no issues or red flags with my run of the mill mani pedi.

I have sensitive skin so I would take them out every so often cause my skin was hurting/burning and she kept telling me to put them back in. Well, if you were there to scrap off the acrylics instead of leaving me to do someone else's nails then I wouldn't have to take them out! Finally, she came back to me and cut my nails way too short. Idk who cuts them like this. The owner told my lady to "file it neatly and put oil on it" in Vietnamese. My nails were not filed nearly at all. I'm gonna go home just to cut off the remaining. I still have acrylic powder on my nails too. Also, I'm Vietnamese. I understood everything you said.

I specifically asked for a Number 3 which includes exfoliation scrub, along with a 10 min massage and a few extra services but those two are the main ones I will speak upon. So when it came down to doing the scrub the worker with the glasses and orange hair with blue metallic nails she literally only applied scrub on my feet to which I've always known they do the scrub starting from a bit below the knee right down to your feet and she didn't do that at all. And don't get me started on the supposedly "10 minute massage" it ended up being 6 minutes in stead. Once it came down the paying, I politely asked how is a scrub properly done, to which the worker who had done my manicure along with another worker said it's done from the knee to the feet Andi explained to her that it was not done and I never received the so called 10 minute massage. I only asked them to follow through with the number of service people request properly, so they ended up bringing out the worker who did my pedicure and she said everything was done accordingly and I told all three of them at this point to check the cameras and they said no and would give the "exfoliation scrub" off the price to which they didn't since I still ended up paying full price.
