    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.

    Fun spring blue tips!

    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!

    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!

    I went in yesterday to get a gel manicure. Becky did my manicure. She was very nice! I chose a wine red polish and I was so happy with my manicure!! The salon is super clean and close to my house. I made an appt for 4 pm and was seen right on time. The manicure included an amazing hand massage and I was all around happy with my beautiful nails! Thank you Becky for a job well done!

    During the pandemic shut down the owner expanded and updated the interior. So many services available now that I was missing this past year. It's a great feeling to be back at the best nail salon in Monrovia. If you have ventured out for your post shut down mani/pedi and waxing- make an appointment now. You won't be disappointed.

    Bridal Shower nails 
 
 French Tip dip (with tips added for length)
    Sarah R.

    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.

    The tech injured my baby toe, you can see the bleeding
    Erin G.

    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.

    Tina does such an amazing job! My nails are exactly how I wanted and she made me comfortable by simply having a conversation with me. Not a lot of places will go out of their way to talk to you. This will be my new nail salon :)

She made sure the color & length for my nails were also achieved in the details I expressed.. My feet felt brand new after this pedicure. But all the ladies were so kind and accommodating. Their customer service is definitely 5 stars .their venue has street parking spaces in the front . But I absolutely love how they can accommodate for people with busy schedules. They also offer a wide variety of nail services. Everyone here was just so sweet & talented . The decor itself is very whimsical, clean and relaxing. They have beautiful plants & a lil mini pond in the middle of the salon. Transforming and relaxing the ambiance of the space! I highly recommend this Nail Salon.

She was annoyed when I showed her my pic I wanted to copy. Buuut Instead of addressing the issues I pointed out, the technician grabbed my hand, held it down, and began cutting off my nails. I never asked for my nails to be cut and did not give permission for that service. I only wanted the uneven shaping and dents corrected. The handling felt rough and uncomfortable, and I was shocked that my nails were cut without my consent. When I told her that wasn't what I wanted, she simply told me to pay for the pedicure only. By then, my nails had already been cut much shorter than I wanted, and the situation could not be undone. Such lack of communication and respect for what I had actually requested. Customers should be listened to and asked before any significant changes are made to their nails like grabbing a hand and cutting off the nails. And based on this experience, I would not return.

    My friends' toenails were bare and requiring a pedicure. My…read morefriends' polish after the pedicure would be a gel type. Their selection of polish was not so good. 1 book board of nails for polish. 1 small key ring with maybe 15 plastic popsicle sticks and fake nails attached terribly and probably painted ten years ago. Lastly, framed board with the a fake nail and matching painted shaped item with the cheapest polish colors of tint with shimmer attempts that looks like it came from a child's safety nail polish collection. With that as the first indicator, we should have just walked away. We decided to be nice. The first nail person was asked for squared toenails. It was mentioned a few times nicely & she kept saying OK. As the filing of the top of the toe, and minimal on the actual nail, continued in a seesaw motion, which is not supposed to happen, and the toe was becoming irritated hot, and red, the response was well I have to file. We said not like that and the multiple requests to stop filing the top of the were ignored as well. Perhaps a better tool rather than the same worn out board that was clearly not creating a squared out shape for the top or sides. The closed cuticle area was still not cleaned and shaped into a straight line to the sides of the toenail so the shape of a toenail would be squared. To describe the closed cuticle area, it's bottom line area toenail that connects to the two sides of your toenail that go up into the open area of your toenail bed) I have outlined one of the pictures in red to show the area ... So second girl comes in, (obviously irritated everyone's speaking so we can't understand) and little filing type movements and then she says in a sing song voice " check it out " and the wave of her hands as if to be " let's make a deal "girls. We know they're not right she says oh they're ready. We said oh let's see then... Here we have the polish and for everyone who's had a pedicure or manicure, there is the understanding that the set~up for the nails has to pristine other wise there is this... Left with a terribly hideous pedicure, a second coat of polish was not going to do anything better for it. The cost for a gel pedicure in that salon was $40. We paid the value of the pedicure received, walking out with zero product on toenails which are very uneven and too short to straighten out... They accepted the negotiated payment. We are not too sure why they thought telling me that they had witnesses to show something-really would mean anything because we have these photos. The four people that were employees of some type or informed that the photos will be going to their social media accounts to offer This entire event is all captured on cameras in their salon, as well as the second nail person was either recording from her phone that was on the cart next to her or there was an open call of some type... Just another example of when there's the inclination and it's ignored "this probably isn't gonna turn out so well " It's making the selection to submit the post impossible unless you paste at least one star so that's the only reason that there is a star
