    Close up on the painting

    Called and they said walk-ins were welcomed. Walked in around 6:20pm and they close at 7:30pm. The lady was nice but she definitely rushed through her work. She didn't really prep enough, or clean my cuticles. I got hard gel and some fingers ended up really thick. I asked for square-oval, and my nails ended up having different shapes lol I'm not too mad about it since I was a walk-in but I felt like she could have done a better job.

    Lyn did amazing. Got gel x manicure and really loved the quality design and the price. Really appreciate how hard she worked on these nails and her intentionality in giving me the best experience possible.

    First time coming here, I made an appointment online which the morning of they moved an hour later. When I arrived they sat me, but it took over 15 minutes for someone to finally come, I believe it was Tracy? She started to glue the tips (I got an acrylic set), then she said she would be right back and left for a good 10 minutes. I wasn't in much of a rush but, if you don't have time to see a client, why begin their service then leave?

    It's Always fun and relaxing to go get my nails and my pedi done here. Everyone is nice but my favorite ppl are Jay, Lyn & Cielo! You guys always make me feel special!

    Told Vanessa I wanted something different for my nails & this is what she came up with

    Vanessa is amazing, her work is always clean , fast , and her work is always flawless. She does both my pedicure & my nails because I'm super picky, but she never disappoints. The salon is clean, and the music is chill. But if you want really good work done , Vanessa is your girl, both for pedicures and any vision you have for your nail set !

    Tracy did my nails and rushed me which made the crystals not strong. A lot came off the next day

    THE GOOD & THE BAD I have to keep it honest and update my review. The last 2 visits pretty bad and left me feeling upset. PROBLEM 1: I had my nails done w/ Tracy and the next day half the crystals fell off! The girl is NOT GOOD and seemed irritated when I asked questions about my design. She didn't do the lotion massage that comes with a manicure and rushed me out and I think that's why the jewels came off so easily. Usually my nail tech Jay takes his time and it stays on for 2-3 weeks! My pedicure by Vickie was great. She gives good leg massage strong hands so if you're into that book her. The color that I chose for my pedicure was too pale so I decided to go back 3 days later to do a polish change. PROBLEM 2: 3 days later I called to ask for the price and the girl on the phone told me it was $10 for a polish change. Ok great! When I went to get it done they charged me $20- so I explained that I had called in the morning and was told it was $10. The older lady (I think she's the owner or wife) gave me major attitude and was arguing with me that it's actually $15. Listen. Paying $15-20 for a polish change is totally okay but if your worker makes a mistake you need to honor it not make the customer feel like she's getting jacked. Now you lost a customer over $5. I spend $120 easily here because I love getting designs by Jay but after this incident I'm taking my business down the street to Magical nails. If you go here I suggest avoiding Tracy and the lady w/ the attitude. Book Jay he's awesome :)

    2nd time coming to MPJ nails and I can say I found my new nail spa. Their quality of work is amazing and they take their time. They are busy especially on weekends but with the quality of work it's expected. Terry did my nails and I will continue to come to her.

    First time getting Gel X nails done here

    I'm so disappointed to say that the technician I had today was so mean to me for absolutely no reason.. She kept slapping & pushing my hands hard or pinching me so bad. I came in for a manicure and from the jump she was upset with me because the color pallet she gave me didn't have the color I wanted so I showed her a picture for inspo and she kept having an attitude while looking for the other color pallets.. I tried to ignore it but she was being so rude & this is so disappointing because I've been coming here for almost a year & absolutely love this salon. Not to mention she cut my cuticles so bad it hurts and is still bleeding and burning. To make things worse she cut my nails without asking me so at this point there was no return in getting my nails back the way that they were.. The manicure itself was decent , the previous one with another tech was the best but after this I'm not sure how to feel about this anymore ! I really dislike the way that I was treated , no one should have to experience this when wanting to go get pampered!

    I haven't gotten my nails done in a hot minute and decided to try this place since they do walkins! I went at 2:30 ish on a Monday and it was pretty fast, though it started to get crowded when I finished (3:40 ish) I didn't wait long at all for a walk-in, and immediately showed an inspo pic, and if i'm honest my nails turned out cuter than the inspo pic! The person doing my nails did it quickly and tried to copy exactly, but I told her to just wing it! We agreed to the size and this is what is expected, but she did a great job and not making me feel stupid for not knowing exactly how I wanted it. She was very kind and was not giving passive aggressiveness when I wanted shorter nails, and kept changing it. The salon itself was pretty spacious and I have to compliment the lack of smell, since usually most salons have it reeking of the nail polish. The chairs were comfy, the front desk and workers were very nice, and I'll definitely be back! Thank you- i'm so sorry i didn't get the name of who did my nails, but based on other reviews, anyone would do an equally good job!

    This was my first and last time going to this place. I had been reading Yelp reviews about this nail spa so I decided to give it a try. Their website stated a pedicure was 1 hour for $25. I was the first one to arrive when they opened. The place was nice and clean. The staff that was there were friendly. 3 other clients arrived right after I did. I was sat on a chair and an employee began to attend me. As she's about to start working on me another client walks in with an appointment. At that point the other 3 clients who arrived right after me were already getting worked on so the employee who was going to start working on me said she was sorry but she needed to work on the one with the appointment first and to wait 5 minutes for her co-worker. I understood. I wasn't in a rush so I sat there for another 10 minutes with my feet in the water until another employee walked in. I had already chosen my color with the first employee who was going to work on me but I was given a color to choose from again which didn't have the color I originally chose. I tried to explain that the first employee knows the color but we weren't understanding eachother so I decided to just choose another color. All the back and forth lasted longer than my actual service. The service was a total of 15 minutes! She clipped some of my nails, put some cuticle cream and ran the cuticle cutter around each nail, not actually removing anything which I was shocked being that I hadn't had my feet done in a bit, ran a scrub over my legs and feet, ran the pumus twice over the bottom of each foot and painted my toes leaving nail polish on my skin. Other nail spa places I've gone to always run a brush with acetone to clean off excess polish from my skin. She sat me down in the front to dry my toes and was gone. A 15 minute service! I explained to the cashier that this was the fastest pedicure I've ever had and the website advertises 1 hour for $25. She asked if I wasn't happy with the service, I told her no. But it wasn't her fault. I paid and left. My receipt shows staff as Ngoc. So avoid her at all cost if possible! I will be going back to Pearl Nails to get a real pedicure. They take pride in their work no matter how big or small the service is.

I've had a few different people do my pedicures and they've all been great. Depending on the service I do pay between $40 and $60 for gel as I always add callus removal. The vibe is nothing special in here, shop is small, but they do have good air conditioning and the massage seats are always great. If you keep seeking a new nail salon go ahead and try this one.

    DONT GO HERE!!!!!! KRISTY WAS UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE AS HELL!!!!…read more RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY! UPDATED REVIEW / RESPONSE TO OWNER I stand by my experience 100%. I came in with a reference photo from your own page and clearly explained what I wanted. When the tips were first applied, they were wide and not the shape I asked for. Before acrylic was even applied, I politely spoke up so I wouldn't end up paying for something I didn't like. That is normal as a paying client. Instead of being understanding, Kristy immediately responded with attitude and said, "you're going to make me take them off?" Whether you choose to deny that or not, that was said, and it set the tone for the entire appointment. I even apologized in the moment because of how uncomfortable the interaction became. After she removed and reapplied the tips, she asked me about length. I did NOT ask her to choose for me--I simply asked what length was used in the reference photo so I could choose something similar. That's when her attitude got worse. She became dismissive and irritated, saying it was my responsibility to know my length. Asking for clarification is not being difficult. Your response focuses heavily on technicalities (length, time, process), but completely ignores the actual issue: the way I was spoken to. This was about attitude and professionalism. I was not rude, I was not difficult, and I was not asking for anything unreasonable. I was simply trying to communicate what I wanted before moving forward with a full set I was paying for. The situation became uncomfortable enough that I stopped the service. I was then left with tips still on my nails and had to ask for them to be cut down. Even then, I was left with plastic tips still on the edges of my nails. Also, mentioning that "camera footage was reviewed" does not change my experience. If anything, if that footage truly supports your claim, then feel free to share it. I am not backing down from what I experienced. I know how I was spoken to, and I am 100% certain that the attitude I received was not appropriate. What I described is exactly what happened, and dismissing it as untrue is simply downplaying a client's experience. At the end of the day, clients should be able to ask questions or request adjustments without being met with irritation or made to feel like a problem. It just bothers you that unfortunately you're getting called out and I'm basically doing this to prevent someone else having a bad experience. I'm not going to stay quiet.

Enter Briana! I found her on here, went to her instagram, checked out her photos, and booked an appointment pretty much immediately. Her suite being in montebello and only a 10 minute drive from me was also a huge plus. So I went on 4/26 (Sunday) at 10am. Location has plenty of parking since it is in a big shopping center. Upon entering I realized there were other services at this address (brows and hair). Anyway, Briana arrived promptly and we got started! Since it was my first time I was super curious and asking a bunch of questions and Briana was very kind and answered them all for me. She was super friendly and professional and we had a great conversation going throughout my appointment. Speaking of appointment, let me share what I had done! I ended up going with a gel manicure and pedicure. I was unsure about what color to choose so Briana helped me decide based on the dress I will be wearing for a wedding I will be attending (in Hawaii). And yeah, she did my fingernails first followed by my feet. Great experience overall, I will definitely return when I want to get them professionally done again! Thank you for the freebies too!!
