I absolutely love this nail salon! The facility is always clean, welcoming, and well maintained, and the staff is consistently friendly and professional. Tracy does the best work -- seriously. I go regularly for a gel builder manicure and I always ask for her because she's incredibly detail-oriented and my nails come out perfect every time. My sets last, look natural, and grow out beautifully. Definitely make an appointment ahead of time because Tracy stays booked and you'll likely have a wait if you walk in -- she's that good! Highly recommend if you want quality work and a great overall experience. read more

I was a customer for over 3 years and experienced many things. I will not be back. In December, my nail tech of 3 years, Judy, was unavailable so I received services from someone else. Judy knew this and said it was fine. When I came back in January, she was cold and hostile toward me for it. Mid-service, she disappeared for 25 minutes with no explanation. She also cut my fingers during the appointment. No apology, no acknowledgment, nothing. That was the last time I saw her. I switched to Kristen. My recent appointment was genuinely frustrating. I had a 2:00 appointment, arrived at 1:50, and Kristen did not come out until after 2:20. A basic solid colored manicure on my natural nails then took an hour and 20 minutes. I did not leave until 3:45. For a manicure. On natural nails. I also had my two young daughters with me that day. They were incredible. They sat in the stroller, watched a show, smiled at strangers who stopped to talk to them, and held it together for nearly two hours. In the last 15 minutes, my youngest started fussing because she was exhausted and ready for her nap. That is completely understandable for a baby who had been sitting in a stroller for that long. That is when Tracy decided to insert herself. Tracy has always made rude "jokes" and snide remarks. It has been an ongoing pattern that I have brushed off in the past. But this time she crossed a line. She came over and spoke to my children in a sharp, condescending tone, telling my baby to be quiet and snapping at my toddler when she slipped out of her chair and tried to climb back up. She mean-mugged my 10 month old and continued to give her the death stare for the remainder of the appointment! She also made comments in another language that caused the staff around her to laugh. When I asked what she said, she did not respond. I should not have to wonder what an adult is saying to my children in a nail salon. My kids were fine. They were tired, not misbehaving - there is a big difference. There was no reason for any adult to speak to them the way Tracy did. There were also three other mothers there with their children - none of which Tracy spoke to. When I brought it up at the front desk, the response I received was, "Yeah, Tracy is rude. She's really mean." That was it. No apology. No accountability. Just a casual confirmation that this is simply who she is and apparently that is acceptable here. It is not acceptable to me. My children deserved better. I deserved better. I hope management takes a real look at how their staff treats customers and their families, because right now the experience does not match the years I have invested in this place. This is partially why their ratings have dropped. read more

I was visiting family that live in the area I got my nails done ( I live in the Bay Area now). It was the beginning of June and I got my nails done with Vivian and I did get a gel manicure. She cut my nails to short ( I had naturally long long nails) and less than 4 weeks my natural nails are breaking off I'm very disappointed and don't recommend anyone going to her. I'm so upset that they broke so easily and the gel didn't even last great because I noticed within a week chipping and I couldn't just go back because I live more than 400 miles away. This was waste of my money tbh don't recommend this place. read more

Horrible experience. The customer service was terrible, the prices are extremely high, and the environment didn't feel welcoming at all from the nail techs. I was quoted one price and I paid for it . Then, about 20 minutes after I left, I received a call saying they "forgot" to charge an extra $20 and demanded my credit card information over the phone. I explained that I was driving on the freeway, but they continued to pressure me. That's completely unprofessional and honestly felt very sketchy no business should be asking for card details like that over the phone. At the end of the day, I paid exactly what was on the receipt they gave me. Their mistake is not my responsibility. On top of that, the quality of the nails was disappointing and not worth the price at all. Overall, this was one of the worst experiences I've had poor service, poor communication, and poor quality. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Never stepping foot in here ever again. The paint job is really bad. The pedicure was subpar however, I got injured and it felt like she cut the back of my foot with that really super sharp Palmerstone. I looked with my camera. I didn't see anything very clearly with the camera option, but it really hurt the next day. You'll see the picture of what she did.. she got angry at me and walked off and left because I asked for a pink gel on my French pedicure and another girl had to paint my toenails. They talk in Vietnamese and you know they're talking crap about you the whole time I can't stand this place.. but she drew blood and that crosses the line big time read more

Was pricey 121 for gelx manicure and pedicure (regular polish) - got an upgraded pedicure with hot stone, foot mask, and massage. I believe Mimi and ViVi were my nail techs. They did a fabulous job and made sure I was happy before I left!! My nails look great! I hardly ever get my nails done so I went to treat myself because I am graduating next week. I'm very happy thank you Mimi and Vivi!! Also the interior was very clean and appealing!! read more

Was overall a gorgeous nail salon. When I first called to get an estimate and appointment I was quoted way less than what the final charge was after they had completed the service. My total for dip nails (no acrylic nails, all natural) came to $73. When I was quoted anywhere from $55-$60 over the phone. I was fine paying the difference because they did do a beautiful job. BUT, a week and a half went by just for one of my nails to completely break for no reason and another one start cracking across the width of my nail. I called to see if I could come in so they could fix them, and they will not fix any nails free of charge unless it is exactly a week after you had got them done. So you are stuck rocking $73 BROKEN nails that didn't even last a full two weeks. Very disappointed and will not go back. read more

Modern Nails - The nail I had to completely glue back on after fully healing and other thumb (not pictured) is starting to do the same thing. - Nail Salons Near Me - Calimesa, California

I have been going here for a while and never bothered to look at the reviews. Unfortunately I wish I had, I got a pedicure on 9/27 and over the next few days after that my toe was sore. It got so painful I could barely walk, I got a horrible infection from this nail establishment and I am still dealing with it almost a month later. When I called they stated nothing like this has ever happened in their establishment but seeing the reviews I see that's not the case. I would highly recommend not going here. I have had to go to the ER twice, have been on multiple antibiotics and now have to go to a podiatrist to possibly have the entire nail removed because it won't heal. I have attached some pretty bad pictures sorry about them but I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. If I could leave a review with 0 stars I would. read more

I tried this nail shop because I was in the area.I usually get my nails done every 324 weeks and i've been getting them done for decades. So I tried this nail shop. The tech gave me the design I wanted and they looked cute. About 3 to 4 days later I noticed that my thumb felt loose, so I tried to baby it. Nevertheless, it fell off on day 7. I went straight to the nail shop after work to get it repaired, which a different nail tech completed for me, and then she had the audacity to try and charge me for the repair which I argued about since it had only been 7 days, there was no reason for any nails to have fallen off at all! So she ended up not charging me for the repair. Now here we are 9 days following that last repair, my index fingernail has fallen off (and it fell off 3 days ago) and my ring fingernail is about to fall off any minute or day now, it's so loose. The usual nail shop I go to is off of Oak Valley and Beaumont Avenue and I can go an entire 4 weeks between fills and not lose a single fingernail ever, period!! So there is no way that I should have 3 loose and falling off fingernails in 2 weeks. That's unacceptable , and I will never go back to that establishment! GO ELSEWHERE!! read more

First time visiting this salon. It is absolutely stunning. I love bling and this was the place. Elegantly done The service was also excellent. My nails and pedicure were amazing and relaxing. Just what I needed after a stressful week of moving to a new area. I will be calling and requesting Crystal and Mimi again. read more

This place sucks so bad and i've been to many nail salon in my life and never have seen the things i've seen. They are so money hungry they don't clean their bowls correctly for the allotted time with the correct chemicals, only throw a plastic cover that gets penetrated with all the left over gunk from previous client AND considering how frequently people sit in those chairs, i still waited 20 mins before someone walked in after me and was sat, I shortly left only because i had more important matters to only receive a text if i was coming back? i remember clearly for signing up for a point system, not to get harassed if i was returning or not but whoever's in charge of this "establishment" can bet i am not coming back. i hope the health inspectors come and rid the place for how nasty and selfish these people are. read more

I have been coming here since they opened this location and have never had a bad experience. Kim is my go-to for my gel manicure, and Ken if Kim isn't available. I do the charcoal pedicure with Mimi, and Vivian if Mimi isn't available. My wife is diabetic and needs special care for her feet. She really loves Henry and Christen. My daughters really like Crystal for their acrylics. Amanda is always super accommodating and fits me in even if I call last minute. The salon is super clean, and I love their music selection. read more

The quality of service is usually excellent. But do expect to be nickel and dimed at this place. My mom asked for a water bottle and was charged $2 for it afterwards (was not told it would cost $$ btw). Most places offer their paying customers water for free...especially when you are paying more than $80 for a fill and upwards of $150 for a fill + pedi. Ijs.... Also if you follow them on IG @modernailscalimesaa they will block you for posting a legitimate complaint. read more

Zero stars if I could. Broke a nail done at another salon, came here for a quick fix - first time customer. Looks horrible, didn't tell me that he could have matched it better with a colored powder. No customer would ever want a French set that looks like the top nail. Can even see the glue underneath where he glued the top on. NEVER AGAIN!!!! Going on a trip and the broken nail looked better!!!! Asked to redo it and he said it would hurt too much! Embarrassingly bad result. Picture worth a thousand words read more

Modern Nails - Top nail is Modern Nail's broken nail fix - Nail Salons Near Me - Calimesa, California

I started going to this spot when I first moved into the neighborhood late last summer, and I've been going every two weeks ever since! The location is in a large shopping center w/ plenty of parking. I've spoken to two front desk ladies and they've both always been super helpful. As for the techs, I can't say enough great things. They're thorough and truly do a fantastic job. I've recently chosen two specific people to do my dip and gel pedicure: Vinson (manager) and Kristen. They are both WONDERFUL! Kristen is so damn good at pedicures, seriously. She's also very sweet and gentle, and she makes excellent color recommendations (which I'm terrible at). Vinson, the manager, is definitely a pro. He's also very personable and takes the time to explain what he's doing (I'm a curious person and nail stuff fascinates me), and seems to respect and care about the staff. I highly, highly recommend!! read more

Getting there: Located right next door to the Stater Bros. There is parking in front of the business. Experience: I had been waiting for this place to open and this was my first time getting to try it out. I always check to see if nail salons have online booking before I call to schedule an appointment, or even possibly walk-in. I found a website that listed both Calimesa locations, in which I scheduled a appointment for later in the day. However, after calling to make sure my appointment was received, I guess the owner was unaware that the website existed. Luckily, they found room to accomodate me. Everything came out really nice. They only accept cash for tip to be sure to have some handy. read more

1000/10 great experience! Thank you Thai! He was the greatest! I haven't gotten my feet done in a long time due to a bad experience with another nail salon in town but these guys made it better and I'll only be going to them! They turned my dawgs into dogs. The vibe was amazing! Clean, fresh, and relaxing it didn't smell of harsh chemicals either! It got busy but this experience did not feel rushed at all Thai took his time and handled my dawgs well! $65 is what I spent for the pedicure and $15 for gel polish and I promise it's well spent and deserved! I promise you this place is amazing give it a try! read more

Definitely my favorite nail place. Paying the booking fee is not a problem at all!

Very nice looking place. Nice chairs but for my first time getting a pedicure there was painful and almost unbearable. I often get ingrown nails and have gotten pedicures to help remove them but this by far is the most painful experience ever. So much so a couple days later I developed an infection from it and has been causing me pain. I will have to see a dr now for some pain and symptom relieving medication. Will not be coming back here read more

Modern Nails - Infection from pedicure. Noticed after a day. Super painful to touch - Nail Salons Near Me - Calimesa, California

Recently moved to the area and decided to check out Modern Nails. The establishment is visually appealing. The employees are friendly. The service is not so great; I can only speak on my service that I received. My wife and I purchased the $40 pedicure; the nail technician seemed to rush through the service, the massage consisted of lightly rubbing lotion on my skin. The total time for my pedicure was 33 mins. I left puzzled as this was a terrible expierence. Normally, nail salons offer a beverage during your service, there is no offering. However, you may purchase a bottle of water (unknown price). Although five minutes from my home, I will gladly take a 20 minute drive to another nail salon. read more

Zero stars if it was available. I've been here a couple of times because it is close to home. I will never go here again. I went in for a pedicure & left with my foot bloody & sore. Idk the name of the technician but she took chunks out of my foot. Instead of using a pumice stone she used what looked like a cheese grater. I had to literally yank my foot away from her & tell her to stop. When I told her I saw blood she said "It's fine, put in water & I put chemical on it." She said "It would be fine in a day!" Next morning I couldn't even walk on my foot & it was like that for at least 2 weeks. I am not the type of person to write negative reviews because I work at a restaurant & know how people can be sometimes but this was absolutely awful. So now almost a month later it's finally almost healed. I'm hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

I've gone here a few times now and it's been a great experience however this time it was not the best. I decided to bring my little sister in with me for the first time and scheduled an appointment for 4. We sat there for about 30 minutes before we got called back and proceeded to sit another 10 minutes before anyone even began to start our pedicure. This is now 40 minutes waiting after our appointment time not including arriving 10 minutes early. Since we didn't get our appointment to start when it was scheduled they asked me to pay as i was getting my feet done and they closed in a few minutes this was fine until I seen I was also charged for another adult pedicure for my little sister who is 8. When I seen the receipt I asked why I was charged for two adult pedicures and I was told she was tall. Not only did we wait an hour I had to pay extra for my little sister being too TALL to be considered a kid. read more

Very nice and clean inside; however, their prices are insane. A kids pedicure was $38 because she was 1/2 an inch taller than their "height minimum." However, they took only 15 minutes to complete her pedicure so I have no idea how they justify this price!? Mine was $44 and was about 35 minutes and included callus removal. I would never go back and would definitely never pay for my daughter to go here again. Nice place and great ambiance but a total ripoff. read more
