    Fast and friendly service! Super easy to check in at the front and they got right to work on my nails. They have good attention to detail and great prices!

    I love this nail studio. I have been here multiple times and each time I have been happy with the work. The staff is friendly, they pay close attention to detail on the nail art and the place is clean.

    Sam is the best..

    Sam is the best... he executed the design and is always nice and professional. He really listens and gets the job done every time.

    Ive been coming here for years and each time I have requested a service it has never failed one bit. Sam is the owner/manager of the nail salon and super thankful he's able to fit me in when I request to come in to get my nails done. Ive never had a problem with any of the workers each time they do my nails. Theyre also super accomodating when it comes to touch ups. Even if you request to come in the last 30mins they'll still take you. The vibe is okay. They have music playing in the back. And they'll talk to you too that way you dont feel bored or awkward. One of my favorite girls used to work here then she left I think. But definately my go to place when getting nails done even if it is last minute or just on the whim decision.

    Sam's nail studio has become my go to nail salon! I got my nails done by Jasmine (I could be wrong I called to ask what her name was) but the service was amazing. She was very friendly and attentive to detail and if I had any concerns, she addressed it quickly. Overall extremely happy with my experience here.

    How unfortunate I have to write this review... I really didn't want to go this far but the way I was treated today was absolutely unacceptable. I only been here twice, each time I was very pleased with my nails but.... This morning I called and specifically asked for Amy or Sam cus they the only ones that do my nails the way I like. They said sure what time u wanna come in and I said I will be there by 1 pm if that's ok and they replied okay sure ! Mind u I live in Upland. So it's a drive for me back and forth. I get there at 1 pm maybe few mins earlier . No one acknowledges me and there were about 5 employees at the shop and no customers. Just pacing back and forth. So I'm just standing there waiting for someone to come like usual to get me seated. Eventually a lady comes up and asks me if I have an appointment and I mentioned that I spoke on the phone with someone and requested Amy or Sam . She proceeded to sit me with a different nail tech. I repeated kindly again I made an appointment with Amy or Sam. She informed that both of them were not there today. To be honest i was disappointed. I find this very unprofessional and a tad disrespectful. Even tho the quality of the nails Amy and Sam do is good, this inconvenience was enough for me to take my business elsewhere. It definitely felt personal.

    Drilled Nails So Thin

    Iv been here more than once (gave em a chance) but THEY DRILLED my nails so thin it hurt to wash my hands !! I asked them are my nails still okay to get or should I wait, but for long nails with a design, of course she did not care if its for the money right. & not only did I have to remind them services they forgot like a hot towel, and the massage included with my gel design pedicure. But when it comes to nail design; if they get tired they half ass it & only 1 hand will look good. I had to tell them to redo something more than once.

    Proofs owner's horrible attitude.
    E L.

    Been continuously going there a few times, been a year or so. Every time it just gets more and more expensive, seems like once I'm showing then I'm a loyal customer they just start jacking up the price. Owner's attitude is kinda bad, can't really stand it, he's got big temper. I stopped going there for a while now. Today just made appointment for my mom with Amy, they responded on text that is ok for the time I asked for, only for my mother to drive there in person to find out Amy is on a long vacation. Why couldn't they just tell me on text that the person we asked for is not available, would save the time and gas. The screenshot is text from owner after he saw it. He still doesn't understand what I put on the review and he thinks it's cuz the Amy appointment incident. But I'm just not used to his attitude everytime I go. Imagine this everytime when I go to the store? I'm not really used to pay people to yell at me. That's why I slowly don't go there anymore.

    7 day old gel manicure
    Shian L.

    I've been here twice, the 1st time I only got a gel pedicure. I thought the gel was of decent quality so I returned a second time & I got a gel manicure and a gel pedicure. It hadn't been a week yet & my nails were chipping. Now on the 7th day of having my nails, they're chipped badly, as if I had them for 3 weeks . My pedicure is holding fine tho. Idk maybe the lady was rushing on my nails bc of the group of people that had just walked in. Idk but I won't be back bc of it.

    My first time will be returning. I was attended fast and I was a walk-in. Service was great, I got a pedicure. Loved the color. The vibe was dope, 90s music videos was perfect.

    Regular color pedicure
    Yari S.

    This has been my nail place for the past 6 months. Unfortunately I am going to start looking elsewhere. I asked for a pedicure today with scrub. And I left there with dry feeling skin. And I'm not normally this dry. That is very telling about their products they use. the guy went through 3 separate white nail polishes (different brands) to only end up with certain areas of my toe nails missing polish. The reason he was going through diff polished was because they were all used and empty. Also, I use regular polish not gel. So when he was removing my old polish I noticed he didn't take all of the polish off on some of my toe nails. And I don't like giving problems I kept quiet and waited for the outcome. It didn't turn out awful but it wasn't the greatest. I'll be taking my business elsewhere for better quality. I really loved this place too. It is cheap. Cheaper than most places. Which is why I'm not really mad or hating since you get what you pay for. But I think I rather spend a little more for better quality.

    Simple gel manicure with milky white color, paid $100 total for both feet and nails including the tip!

    Ivy did my pedicure today and she not only was the sweetest but she did SUCH a good job!!! It's very rare where I get a pedi & actually like it but she did great so much better than I expected, been here a couple of times and the owner (THE Sam) is always making sure you are taken care of & I appreciate that. Thank you guys! Love this little place the people are nice.

    My cow print manicure
    Camille B.

    I called in on a Saturday to ask if they could squeeze me I'm for an appointment at 2. The owner said they do have room. I still waiting a little over an hour. Chloe did my nails and I LOVED her. I got gel x nails for the first time. My. Atrial nails were really long. I usually get a gel manicure but my nails have become super thin. I am soo happy with how they came out. She copied the design I wanted perfectly. It was a little pricey. I paid $75 not including tip but I don't have any complaints with the work Chloe did. I was also in a time crunch and told Chloe I needed to b out by 4:30. She said I got u girl and had me out in time

Super clean. The prices are the best in town. I loved the pedicure and nail set they I can't wait to go back

    My first time coming and I really REALLY wanted to like this place bc the ladies that helped me…read morewere really nice. HOWEVER, it was a disappointment for what I had paid. I got a mani-pedi and I decided to do gel on my pedi because it always lasts longer but my mani I did normal since the gel always got weird for me after. I had Cherry do my regular mani and Kim do my gel pedi. Kim's work was spectacular! honestly I would give HER a 5/5. She really focused on my nails despite us chatting away. She got rid of all my dead skin and my feet look super cute. I would come back just FOR HER only. She only started chatting AFTER she finished my pedi to make sure she focused on the service which now I truly appreciate. My manicure on the other hand was a complete disaster by Cherry. We related a lot because we spoke the same language and honestly she reminded me of an aunt. I didn't even realize HOW bad it was until I got into my car and I already had to leave. I did notice that she didn't spend a lot of time on my hands and she didn't do an extra layer of polish like most other techs to make my nails even looking. It also hurt when she was working on me as well. You can still see streaks of regular nail on them and the paint job was just bad. I understand its regular mani but I've never had it look like this before. I got my mani on Friday 8/8 and today is tuesday 8/12 the paint already chipped and my fingers look damaged. I paid roughly $80 since I had to tip both of them, and it was definitely not worth that price. I wanted to be a long time customer but after looking at my hands, I don't want to come back. For her its definitely a 1/5. Yeah, we talked but I think she slacked off bc she assumed I wouldn't say anything or complain. Unfortunately I am on the hunt again for a nail salon I can go to regularly. Photos to follow.

I still had to wait about 15-20 minutes which wasn't the problem. The problem was when I saw down several walk ins came and he RUSHED my gel mani to the point that my gel came off the next day and only a portion of my nails actually had color on them. I should have took a photo but I didn't. I don't like to talk bad about a small business but that type of service is unacceptable to me.
