I stop here whenever I'm in Monrovia. The salon is clean, friendly staff and nice nail work.

I had horrible nails and a party to get to at 6PM. So I called Romantic Nails and asked if they could fix me up and walk in that morning. They were exceptionally kind, straightforward, and accommodating. This is the kind of nail salon I'm most comfortable in, with lots of Buddhas. I loved chatting with my tech, and she even gave me advice to do my own nails at home (since I only want to paint), and explained all the equipment she was using on me. I brought in my own polish and she was expert with it. If I ever have a crisis of nails, I'm coming here. read more

Tina is the best nail tech. Great family owned business where experience and perfection is present. I make the drive and worth every mile.

I'm sorry. But this place is horrible!! I called to book a appointment and was given the false information on their pricing. I was told they charge $45 for hard gel and was charge $75 in person. The lady who did my nails took forever! And did not know how to shape them correctly. read more

After coming here for almost 2 years it was time to write a review. Romantic Nails always does an amazing job. I get a TAP fill every 4ish weeks and a pedicure every 8 weeks. I've never had any issues. Cabo is my typical go-to for the TAP and she does a phenomenal and thorough job. They all take their time and don't rush the process. They did my nails for my wedding - so you know they're good! The salon itself typically had a show/tv on so it keeps you entertained if not by some of the fun conversation happening from everyone. It is clean and a great place to come! read more

This is my nail salon, I'll never go anywhere else. These ladies have my loyalty. If you want your fingernails done I'd recommend asking for Tina. They do acrylics, dipping powder, get nails, TAP gel, and whatever else your heart could desire. Super comfy massage chairs for your pedicure, everything is very clean and sterile. Do not walk in. Despite them saying they accept walk-ins, yomust have an appointment because they get booked up. read more

Well the stories are true. These people will take your money expect 10.00 tip each. If you don't always give them one they will stop sending you text messages for your next appointment. Very unprofessional I know they have the right to refuse service. If you cancel because you're in the hospital the next time you try and call and make an appointment they won't pick up their phone taking my $150 somewhere else. And look up the product they're using it's not very expensive. The old lady is always talking about customers with her eyes yeah I saw you. Nails shops are a dime a dozen. read more

I was so impressed when I came to Romantic nails. This is the best nail shop, clean and everyone is very friendly! My nails always look amazing and last 4-6weeks with theTAP process! I highly recommend it! I read a few comments on here that are so far from my experienceI have never seen happen or have ever heard ! They would never ever be mad if a tip wasn't left - that's ridiculous. Tips mean = To insure proper service - I have always felt welcome with amazing service! Thanks Tina for my beautiful Christmas nails! read more

I am sad to have to do a negative review. It's not my norm, but hopefully helps others avoid the experience that I had. To start, I acknowledge the salon is clean, the staff is friendly and my nails look nice. My issue was with communication about timing, the service I was seeking and the injury I received from a technician being too rough. My friend and I wanted pedicures but arrived without a scheduled appointment which I know is a gamble. They said they had just gotten other walk ins and it would be a half hour. I was fine with that and decided to run across the street to 7-11 to get a snack while I wait. My friend stayed but called me 10 mins later to come back because they had apparently gotten mad that I left because she overheard ranting about 7-11 once I left (but full context wasn't clear since their convo was in a different language). If I need to be present for waiting, just be clear about that. I came back and still sat for several minutes before they were ready for us. We were both put in their massage chairs and the single tech assigned to us started on my friend first. I was understanding about us sharing a tech and not being simultaneously worked on since we walked in without an appointment. As the tech was getting my friends water started I got the attention of the tech and clearly said that we would both be getting the Regular Deluxe pedicure, she said ok. After my friend finished, the tech came and worked on me. I told her that I don't like filing and she filed anyway (not the first time, many places ignore my request to not be filed). But she also kept clipping into my cuticles aggressively. I do not have gnarly feet - the aggression was completely unnecessary. Once she finally started on the paint I saw that my toe had started to bleed. At the end of painting she was preparing to be done and I had to point out the injury. I am not being dramatic the bleeding was absolutely visible, I think she was just hoping I wouldn't notice. I called it out to her and she put some Neosporin on it. In addition to the other issues, throughout the service I felt unsure that I was getting the full deluxe that I had asked for. Our time seemed shorter than other ppl who were there, plus we were supposed to get both exfoliations and then moisturizing rubs. But I had never been to the location to compare it. At the counter when it was time to pay, the price was less than I expected. I wasn't sure if it was less because the tech informed them of the injury and was giving a discount. I asked just to be sure which service I was paying for - it was NOT the deluxe. I told the person doing my check-out that I had asked for the deluxe and she apologized saying that the tech doesn't speak very good English and must not have understood. Again I have empathy about ESL challenges, but if that is an issue it's the duty of the business to make sure to ask my requests at the start and translate. It's not okay to just leave it up to someone who doesn't speak the language to get it right. All this to say I was really frustrated and will never go back. I hope if you see this review and still want to give it a try, make sure to communicate up front with your specifics so they relay it to the tech, because the tech may not understand you directly. And also make sure they go easy on your feet if they start getting aggressive. read more

Romantic Nails - The tech injured my baby toe, you can see the bleeding - Nail Salons Near Me - Monrovia, California

I came here in 2019 initially in hopes of finding a nail salon that is gentle, detail oriented, and WAY BETTER than all the other salons in the area. I had recently gone to a salon walking distance from Romantic Nails in late 2018 right before Christmas and they had ruined my nails, cut my skin making me bleed, and blaming me saying my skin was too thin and thats why I bled. Fast forward to 2019 when I walked into Romantic Nails-- thinking I was going to be getting acrylics. I met with a woman named Tina and she let me know that they do not recommend acrylics due to the damage they do to nails. She listened to what I wanted and how I was getting prepared for my upcoming wedding. She laid out a plan for me to grow my nails out, protect them, keep them strong for the next few months leading up to my wedding in October. She first did my nails before my bridal shower-- adding a tip for length since I cut my nails down thinking I was getting acrylics. She did a simple dipped French Tip, which felt so light and as if it was just my natural nail! She also took her time, was detailed with each nail, and made sure to be careful around my cuticles! Now that my nails grew out and we were less than a week out from my wedding, thats when we took off my French tip to give me fresh nails. She came up with the ideas for my wedding nails and told me that the Ombre French tip look will be soft and beautiful. It will also photograph very nicely. I trusted her, and watched her go to work. They came out WAY better than ever expected and got so many compliments! see both photos from my bridal shower and my wedding day. Thanks you Romantic Nails and Tina for all of your help finding the RIGHT salon for me!! Recommend booking your appointments ahead of time as their schedule fills fast and its hard to request last minute appointments. read more

This was by far the best nail salon experience I've had of all time. My acrylic gel fill came out exactly as I had hoped and I can tell they use quality products that last. Even with that, I have to say the pedicure massage was by far my favorite part of the whole experience - I think it was a solid 10 minutes of expert massaging and buffing all the way up from my feet to my calves. The price was also reasonable and I will for sure be returning. The details from the decor, color selection, quality products and experts that work here make it worthwhile even if is a little more expensive that your usual spot (but I bet it won't be more expensive). I'm telling all of my friends and family about this place. Wish I knew about them sooner! read more

Followed my favorite nail lady here from another, more expensive Monrovia nail salon. This place is clean & everyone is very friendly. They have a wall full of color choices & even do waxing and facials. You will get a text the day before reminding you of your appt. I recommend Kathy & Jessie for mani/pedi/full set - they both are so kind and funny (especially when you get them together)! read more

Just discovered this place. It is literally 2 blocks from my house. The place is newly renovated and super. I walked in on a Wed at 4:00pm. No wait for a Pedicure. Jennifer is nice and was very good. The other woman Becky, is very sassy, but funny. $3 off if you're a first timer. If I knew, I would've done the pedi mani combo. Basic Quickie Mani- $13 Basic Quickie Pedi $15 -Nail shaping, cuticle grooming, and polish. Basic Nail Care Spa Mani-$15 Basic Nail Care Spa Pedi-$25 Combo- $37 -Nail shaping, cuticle grooming, and polish. Hot oil therapeutic massage. Hot towel wrap and sea salt scrub and pummuce sponge. Not bad prices for the Monrovia area. I think they are Vietnamese and so far, I haven't heard them talk smack in Vietnamese about any customers yet. Thumbs up in my book. Added photo of prices. read more

What a surprising find! Wanted to meet a friend and she was getting her nails done here, so I joined her. I figured it would be good, since my friend is an expert at nails. However, I am hard to please. I'm pretty good at doing my own nails, so I always struggle with whether salons are doing a better job than me. Well, this place surpassed my expectations. Background, I had acrylics for the first time in December and totally ruined my nails. So I felt there wasn't much they could do to fix. Nope my nails look fantastic, despite the damage I had done to them. Parking: there's free street parking and a small lot in back. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is I am a bit shallow and the decor doesn't look like a high end spa, BUT service was 5 stars. read more

My new wax spot! I've been going here for Manis & pedis for a while now, for nails esp because all the other places I've been to hurt my fingers during the acrylic application at some point, Just recently in February I got waxed for my wedding! I thought it was going to hurt more than it actually did. For my wedding I tried the dip powder & I loved the results! So many nail places to choose but this one is my go to spot! read more

This place dies really good work! They don't judge you at all. I had some tire up feet when I went in and the lady got right to my feet and started making them pretty again. I haven't had my feet done for a long while and she did an amazing job. I also had my nails done with French tips and a wrapped and they came out very eleagant. I give this place a high rating on their work and there is never a wait time when you make an appt. read more

I'm changing my opinion after my last visit and I think I won't be coming back. I've been here several times and 1 thing that always stood out is the lack of lighting and the last couple of times when I could take a good look at my nails I saw several mistakes. This last time I found a brush bristle stuck on my nail. It's a gel manicure so it isn't going anywhere for a bit. She only applied two coats of nail polish and it looks like one. And I heard the lady who I guess is their boss saying they were using too many coats. It just seems that if I'm paying over $70 with tip for nails I should leave and be happy and I'm just not. The saving grace is how sweet the ladies who work on my nails are. Get some brighter lights!! read more

I understand it's been a challenge reopening and having a small staff but....having an appt. for pedicure and manicure with dip can take awhile. That being said, my feet looked great but watched as time went by to get the foil wraps off my nails because I knew my finger were turning grey. Also as other clients came in after me and were able to be attended to right away was frustrating. If I hadn't asked about my nails I probably would still be sitting there. Offered to finish my nails the next day but was not the right time. I ended up leaving without getting my nails done but had nice feet. They charged me full price for the pedicure and I left with soaked grey/white nails! In future if you know you are shorthanded call your client to reschedule which is better than losing them. read more

Yay, my nails and toes are all done up, beautified, and sparkly again, especially before Halloween, woohoo! Not to mention some much needed waxing of underarms and legs (from the knees below) too! Parking: Small parking lot in the back or street parking (watch for signs). Popped in on a Saturday around 2:25pm, and there was just a patron getting her hands worked on. Becky, the owner was the middle of her vaping, and gotten a bit annoyed when I interrupted her when I came in, lol! It wasn't an enthusiastic greeting, but still nice enough to ask me what services I was here for. I guess she must've saw me looking at her, and stopped vaping, or at least until her client came in a few seconds after me. I didn't care if she vaped, but I thought it hella boss of her to do that - so gangsta too, hehe! I also appreciated that she would check in on Tina and Maggie to make sure that my nails were the way I wanted. It was a bit of helicoptering, but Becky wants to make sure all clients are satisfied. For my toes, I went with a basic spa pedicure done by Tina. She was a nice and quiet lady. I later found out from Maggie (who did my gel mani) that she doesn't speak English. Despite the quietness, I didn't mind because Tina did an awesome job! I've enjoyed my 30mins back massage from the spa chair, hehe! She was careful and meticulous, and was very patient in holding my toes properly when my legs starting jerking after being on the pedestal for too long, lol! Best of all, the leg massage was very enjoyable! After washing, filing, and buffing, she added the scrub and massaged my legs longer than most nail salons I've been at. I felt very relaxed afterwards :) My all black colored toes were ready for Halloween, yay! Next, Maggie worked on my gel mani, I've chosen a black and green glitter ombre looked. I've showed Becky the ombre looked on my phone earlier, and she got the right colors for me. Maggie, was a bit more talkative, and more direct with my nails. She suggested shaping my nails rounder to get the better ombre looked (and it looked better, cuz I usually get them squared). She also made sure I was satisfied with my nail shapes and filing, before proceeding further. She's also very meticulous as well. She was a lil rough with the pushing back of the cuticles, but slowed down when she noticed that I jerked my hand back. Once she was done with my nails, she finished it off with warm lotion and hand and arm massage, yay! :) Finally, we headed off to get me waxed. Maggie waxed my underarm and legs (from knees below). She was lighting fast, and made sure all the residual wax came off before letting me go. In between, she also made sure the wax wasn't too hot for me, and she also had me inspect my legs before I left too! She finished it off with a light lotion massage. I loved that my underarms and legs were so smooth afterwards :) Once everything was done, it was time for payment, and damn it was pricey! Becky broke it down for me when she saw my reaction, lol! Also, I think that was the only time I saw a full smile from her, lol! ;) Here's the breakdown: $15 underarms waxing $25 half legs waxing $40 gel mani ombre $22 regular spa pedicure Despite the prices, the service today was well worth it. My nails, toes and legs came in raggedy, and both Maggie and Tina delivered today! I'll definitely be back again! read more

Nice salon, super organized, so many color choices, & very clean. Text Becky, the owner for availability, & she'll get back to you so fast! Cathy (Jessie & Amy are also great) is my go-to tech for pedicures. She's gentle, thorough, & creates ultimate relaxation for you. Get the callus treatment, it's worth it! They get busy, so call ahead (1 day notice) to get the time you want. If you don't find a spot to park behind the salon, there's street parking on Alta Vista or use the 7-Eleven lot. read more

I started coming here a few months ago. I called & asked if anyone could do a fill. My appointment was with Tina. Well now she is my new nail tech. She did an amazing job. I may be paying more than what I was used to, but it is well worth it. I've never gotten so many compliments on my nails. The only thing is sometimes I'm waiting around well over my appt. time, but Becky is always there to entertain or help me pick out colors or designs. Also the inside of the salon is very nice & welcoming. read more
