Summer 2024 (updated review): Still my favorite place and always satisfied! Decided to splurge with 4th of July nail art and am so pleased with the results. Not fake nails and no stickers, they did a fabulous gel manicure all by hand. They have some holiday options available to give you inspiration and you can modify to your liking. Summer 2023: My go to place, right by Knotts Berry Farm off Grand and Lincoln. They have always been able to squeeze me in same day, but please call ahead to make an appointment. Super friendly and great prices. (As of summer 2023, regular manicure is $15 and regular pedicure is $25). Pedicures happen in a massage chair that get my knots way better than my own massage chair at home. Highly recommend visiting!! read more

Service took three hours.... For a full set and pedicure Not sure why it took so long. Nails and pedicure were okay.

I've been going to Royal nails for about 8 years and was bummed when I showed up one day and realized that the owner, Jimmy had sold it. I stuck with it 2 more times and because of the change, I felt like I should maybe move on to. It wasn't the service, it wasn't the results....maybe it was just the change overall and all of the familiar faces that I was used to seeing. I went to a good 5-6 spots, and felt rushed at almost all of them. I also get ingrown toe nails easily and never felt like those were cared for properly. Long story short, I decided to go back to Royal nails today and had a great experience. My royal Mani/Padi felt just like its name; royal. It wasn't rushed, the massage and treatments were heaven, my ingrown toenails are gone and my hand and feet look beautiful. Although it's not the old Royal nails we were used to, I def. Still Recommend them! read more

HERES AN UPDATE! :) Truly continue to come here for my gel pedicures or manicures. They are very clean when it comes to their equipment or establishment itself. The staff are super welcoming and always try their best to squeeze you in! Please always call for booking before coming in because chances are it's currently full. However, you are most likely able to catch a same day appointment like I do! The quality of this establishment never disappoints. I always recommend my friends and family to come here. Hope this helps! :) read more

I was a bit taken back when I called to make an appointment 2 weeks ago and asked for Amy (as I always have for the past 3 years) only to find out she no longer worked there. When I asked for Lynn, they told me she no longer works there either. Story short, Jimmy, Lynn, and Amy are no longer there. In fact none of the women that were there work there. It's all new staff with a new owner. Owner is super sweet, but everyone struggles to communicate due to the language barrier. I asked for a gel manicure as I have been growing out my natural nails for about 6 months now and Amy just knew how I liked them shaped (almond). The woman I got did not even attempt to shape them how I walked in and I was not happy. So today I thought, let me just give them another try, so I walked in for a gel pedicure and a regular manicure and the woman working on my nails insisted on me getting gel and I kept telling her no. She asked me if I wanted her to cut my nails and I said just a little bit, very little cut. Well while I was looking at colors, she cut more than half my nail off (the ones I've been working so hard at keeping long). I almost wanted to cry but im not the type to make a scene but I should have been more vocal because that was not what I wanted and she needed to understand that. I left very disappointed with the shape, length, and color. I immediately took off the polish on my hands when I got home and shaped them myself. I could have saved myself $30. I genuinely dont think I will be returning. I'll do my research and find another nail salon. read more

First time hear and it lives up to everyone's great reviews. They do indeed do quality work. I didn't feel rushed like many other salons I've been to. I enjoy having my feet and hands done by the same person so I can enjoy both experiences. I also appreciate the minimal conversations so I can watch my drama shows Prices are reasonable and I will definitely be back! read more

I came in for my appointment on a weekday afternoon and it was great. I was the first until people who were coming from work were trickling in. Immediately after arriving, I'm welcomed by the friendly employees there and asked what I wanted and guided to where to sit. I don't get my nails done at all so it as nice to pamper myself. Amy was super SUPER nice and just such an angel. Very friendly and did a really good job on my nails. I just got simple gel mani & pedi. Nothing crazy, but she was keen to the details of making sure it was CLEAN. I really appreciated that. Those that came in after me seemed to be regulars because they were greeted and asked about their work, life. It was nice to see. Shows me people come here not only once, but become regulars. That's important. I'll definitely be recommending this place and will be back. read more

This is such a hidden gem! The staff was so friendly and welcoming for my first time there. The lady who did my nails (I didn't catch her name unfortunately) did an AMAZING job. I requested a full set with a red cat eye design and she did not disappoint!! She said it was her first time trying it on a client and even offered to try one nail first to see if I liked the outcome. They turned out beautifully! The price was super affordable as well. I can't wait to keep coming back! :) read more

Let me start by saying, I have always had naturally strong, thick, healthy nails, so I don't ever get acrylics or gel to keep them strong. However, I hit my hand into a wall by accident last week and my thumbnail cracked super low. It was to the point where any second and it would rip off with a good chunk of my skin, which would obviously be painful. I stopped by this salon today after working out at the gym two doors down from here, and the man at the door offered me cheap nail glue, because I wouldn't get a full gel set. I explained I only wanted my ONE broken nail bonded or repaired, but he insisted I'd have to get a full gel manicure or take the cheap glue and hope it worked. I mentioned being willing to pay if they could help add maybe one coat of a builder gel to hold it until it grows out and he said no. Full set or cheap nail glue. Needless to say, I left without the repair, and I won't be coming back. Very disappointed in the lack of service here. Thank goodness there's another salon just down the street that was willing to do the repair just a few minutes before closing AND they weren't going to charge me for the repair at all. I had to insist! read more

Walked in today for a pedicure and had an excellent experience. The service was great. The woman who did my pedicure was very sweet, thorough and efficient, which I appreciated because I was in more of a hurry than I realized when I walked in so was glad I got out of there in no time. Will definitely return. read more

Service was good, nice and clean and not crowded for the time I went at 5pm on Friday. Nails and pedicure was also nice.

The best Gel Remover person in the world works here!!! Ask for Jimmy. Do not ask for anything else but remove gel.

$35 for gel! It takes about 40min to get them done and everyone is so nice here!! However don't forget to take cash for tip. Small and hidden spot. They have cute music in the background read more

So glad to have found this hidden gem! My first time getting my nails done here and Lynn did my nails. Love how my Fall nails turned out. Lynn and the other owner (her husband? :)) are very friendly and very nice. All the nail techs are so focused on all of their clients and not chit chatting with other techs in their language like in some nail places. It's definitely an awesome value for the price. Thank you Lynn!! read more

Let's just say they satisfied my longing for a good nail technician in Anaheim. They take their time, ample amount of colors, attentive to detail and the environment is clea. Plus they're soooooo reasonable! Update They close at 7pm. So they take their last customer at 6:15p. They squeezed me in on 2/8/19. Thank you ladies for being so kind to me, for not rushing me, and still doing outstanding work. read more

I had gone in today as a walk in without any problem having to wait but as soon as I was taken in I had already had problems with one employee. She tried getting me to do a full set of acrylics when I specifically told her no multiple times. After she finally accepted my answer it was going fine. Then once she started to do my pedicure she started to rush it. Mind you it was only me and 2 others in the salon at the time. the whole thing felt rushed and half-assed. I was respectful and quiet the whole time. once she was done with my nails I just wanted to pay and leave since I had other errands that needed to be done for my grandma. It wasn't until later in the day that I felt a piece of the gel nail polish poke me. So I decided to check what it was and that's when I noticed that a few of my nails weren't fully painted. There is little air bubbles in the polish, the second coat of polish was only one a few nails, there was polish on the skin of my toes, and the piece that was poking me had come off and it was still wet under the top layer. I've never had a problem with this salon before today. Unfortunately I will not be returning because it felt very hostile with how the employee was. read more

I usually get my eyebrows done next door, I then walked in to the nails salon and was luckily attended right away. I got dip nails and regular pedicure.

I will definitely be returning. read more

So I've been here twice. First time- gel peeled off in 4 days Thought I'd give it a second try with another technician... I had told the guy Jimmy what happened last time and he said to just call or let him know if I have issues the next time. Second time- I had bubbles on my nails and she didn't scrub my feet. My cuticles weren't trimmed properly and nail shape was inconsistent. Went back the next day to show Jimmy.. He said it was minor and I have to pay extra for callus remover. I don't have callus issues. The woman didn't scrub my feet. He went on to tell me doctors can kill or cure patients??? Idk how that's relevant. I thought I'd give it a second try because it's $10-15 cheaper than other places but I rather pay extra than have my nails looking like shit the read more

My nails actually look just as good if not better then the picture I showed Lynn. Her work is amazing! I went in after getting a horrible gel manicure done somewhere else and couldn't stand to even look at it but after my appointment I can't stop smiling and admiring my nails. For starters she soaked the gel not just go in crazy with the nail drill. She removed everything by hand and with out hurting me. She then started her magic on my new ombré coffin nails. The time and attention to detail really sets her work apart from other places. I absolutely love my new set, thanks Lynn. read more

First time here today. I called ahead and got a spot. $20 gel nails $15 spa pedicure. They do a good job here and service is nice ... They provide bottled water or hot/cold drinks. The nail techs speak pretty good english. A few things I'm not happy about is the shape of my nails (too round, i wanted more almond like), the fact that my gel nails are not very shiny/glossy, and they are lumpy at the tips. I think the place I normally go to always puts 2 coats of top coat. But here they just do 1. So it doesnt shine very much. Also its lumpy on the tips...this kind of annoys me. But not as much as the fact that my nails are not glossy looking. Neither of my hand or foot massage was good. Parking in their lot was pretty awful...it was full on their side and the pavement was very rocky...very unkept. I was afraid it would hurt my car tires with so much debris. Oh and just a note that my pedicure was better than my gel nails. So I will definitely be back for more pedicures! Ps- I just noticed my nails are attracting alot of stains :( read more

Found this salon through YELP! I came here for the first time and left happy today. Scheduled my appointment the day before. I came in for a gel manIcure. My nail tech was Mindi. She was great! I asked her to do almond shape on my nails and she nailed it! Pun intended! There also was a gentleman named Jimmy that was very pleasant, he greeted me when I first came in and was also the one who took my payment. This place is down the street from where I work so it's super convenient for me to go after work for my manicure. Will definitely come back! read more

Hands down the best nail salon I've been to thus far! I've recently moved out of the area so I'm a little sad that I've JUST discovered this place. I now live in Glendale and haven't had the best experience where I live so decided to give this salon a shot on our way to Disneyland. I called ahead of time to ask if they take walk ins. (They do!) The lady who helped me tolde that appointments are preferred so I booked an appointment for an hour later and told her that it would take me an hour to get there since I was coming from Glendale. Other Yelp reviews mention getting a water bottle as soon as you enter but I was never offered one so maybe they discontinued that perk? I was given a basket full of sample nails to help me choose a gel color. They had a ton of options so I had to ask my fiance for his input to help me decide haha My nail tech was Stella and I've got to say that Stella was STELLER!! She was very quiet but sweet. She asked me how long/short I wanted my nails and how I'd like them shaped. I didn't get acrylic because I like having my own nails painted. She really took her time making my nails even and shaping them perfectly. She was very meticulous when painting my nails which I appreciated because they came out absolutely flawless! She removed my old gel polish and painted my nails with new gel polish and everything came out to $25! Really good deal and I was beaming afterwards! I'll definitely be back and make a trip out of it since I'm not close anymore read more
