This Christmas marks my one-year anniversary with Slay Me Nails, and this is my honest one-year review. Over the past year, I've received eyebrow waxing, luminary gel fills, and classic pedicures, and the quality has been consistently excellent. The place is always clean, elegant, and well-maintained. Every tech I've encountered has been kind, professional, and welcoming, which really makes a difference. I love the atmosphere -- music and music videos on a big screen give it a fun, relaxing vibe. And now they even offer complimentary cocktails, which is such a nice touch! This is a new amenity, and I'm truly enjoying it The pricing is exactly what you'd expect for top-tier service. As my husband always says, "If you're gonna do it, then just DO IT!" And honestly, it pays to have the best. There's even a tech by the name of Amea... If you know, you know. I've included a photo of last year's Christmas tree, because it perfectly captures the festive, elegant feel of the space during the holidays. After a full year of great experiences, I can confidently say I highly recommend Slay Me Nails. Amy and Christy are both incredible nail techs.Amy is fantastic with pedicures and luminary gel -- I honestly fell in love with this spot because of her Christy is phenomenal with gel nails -- fast, efficient, and always delivers beautiful results. I'm sad I don't recall his name, but the tech with the magnificent pinky nail , he is top-tier with pedicures. His work speaks for itself. And let's not forget the front desk guy, aka "Mr. Cocktail" , he is the sweetest His smile is welcoming and really elevates the experience. Overall, no matter who you get, you'll be pleased with your service. The talent, professionalism, and vibe here are unmatched.
My nails always come out PERFECT when I get them done here. Kristy is the best nail artist and is always willing to put up with my wild nail ideas, would definitely recommend!
I am conflicted. I only recommend this place because for once, most of the people in there are actually good with nails and can do design. A couple of them are really talented... However, they are expensive!! I asked how much these nails would be (picture) and they quoted me $170!! Lmao. That's why your salons are hardly ever full. It used to be that you walk into a nail salon and it's packed with back to back appts and you had to wait for walk-ins. Now, I only see 2 or 3 people every time I go. Gone are the days when techs were good with nails because it's their job and that was the standard and they didn't price gouge every step of the way. There is no standard with all of these nail salons. Will do a crap job and just take your money but when you go somewhere that's actually good and can do what they're supposed to do, the prices are astronomical. So if you can't do your own nails and you want to splurge then this is the place to go to. It's a shame they think they're better off charging SO MUCH for nails when they would be getting way more customers and way more money if their prices were fair. Thank god I can do my own nails because it's getting ridiculous. And I get it, it costs a more for the extravagant designs and XL nails but not hundreds of dollars. Especially when people do their nails every 2-3 weeks. My guy, you're not saving lives here. You're also not Picasso. You're just painting the tips of my fingers. Also they need to fix their sewer problem. I went in there and I could barely tolerate the smell it was so bad and they're acting like they don't smell anything. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty salon and I'm glad to finally win the lottery-- I mean, find a place where they do a good job and the people seem nice but with these prices I won't be able to get my nails done on the regular anymore. And I was a weekly kind of girl too. And I'm sorry but if you think it's ok for prices to be this high, you are part of the problem. Charging a little more because product pricing has gone up is one thing but price gouging is another. Designs and fun stuff was always an extra 20-30 bucks. Not 75-100+!! Oh yes, and charging a lot for a pedicure that they still rush through and do a mediocre job with, just as they have always done. GREAT. 3 1/2 stars.
Absolutely love my nails every time! Kristy is super professional, detail-oriented, and always makes me feel comfortable. My sets last so well and I always leave obsessed. Highly recommend!
Love my Halloween nails! Kristy read the assignment! I fly all the way from Kentucky just to see Kristy and she never disappoints!
Slay Me Nails is the best!!! They are ALWAYS on time with their appointments and their SERVICE is fantastic! Kristy is such a professional and she does fantastic nails and pedicures! ¡Slay Me Nails es lo mejor!!! ¡SIEMPRE son puntuales con sus citas y su SERVICIO es fantástico! ¡Kristy es toda una profesional y hace uñas y pedicuras increíbles!
Slay Me Nails never disappoints! We went in today to get ready for our 4th of July party and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Winter did my husband's pedicure and, as always, did a fantastic job -- they're clean, detailed, and exactly what he wanted. Amy took care of my mani/pedi and absolutely nailed it (pun intended). The stars, stripes, and bold colors are perfect for the holiday. Both Winter and Amy are incredibly talented, professional, and so fun to work with. Highly recommend Slay Me Nails if you want creative, flawless nails every single time!
if I could give zero stars, I would I already reviewed on Google because I don't think anybody should be going here if you want good nails my nails are three days old and they're chipping. The layers of gel are coming apart and I've never had that happen to me? They are a horrible shape. I asked for stiletto and they're pretty much round. It was $100 for the most basic design ever and it took 2 1/2 hours for me to get out of there their customer service was rude. It was an overall horrible experience and I left a very disappointed and upset.
They usually do a good job. Lots of price gouging though & one time they cut me pretty badly. They apologized but that's all.
Good quality nails. Cham is really detailed when it comes to custom designs. She took me in late afternoon and stayed to finish this beautiful set. Thank you Cham I appreciate you.

Loved it. Started right on time with the pedi first since MK was with a client. Once we got to my full set I showed him a couple photos and we talked it through enough for me to feel comfortable. I had something specific in mind with minor tweaks. No nicks or cuts of any kind and my nails were beautiful :) My only complaint is they didn't post my nails on their insta, I thought they were that nice (this is not a real complaint lol) read more

I made an appointment for luminary builder gel from a family friend recommendation on this establishment. My hopes were high walking in seeing the cleanliness of the place and the nice looks of the place. It's been a couple years since I've gone to a salon because of poor past experience and was hoping because I was recommended here it'd be better. My cuticles were torn up and it felt like dull clippers were being used. The application of the luminary gel was okay but felt too rushed and like attention to detail wasn't being shown. When it came to shaping my nails I noticed after the service that she had cut and filed my nails past my nail plate. This not only caused me pain during the service but even days after just simply washing my hands. My design wasn't complicated just a simple French tip and I didn't feel it was done to the technicians best ability. I also got a gel pedicure done that was underwhelming. The technician only asked if I wanted length off but didn't ask how much so I was still left with nails that were longer than I wanted. And weren't cut straight. The application was better than my manicure but the edges of my nails were also left very sharp not filed down. Now because I haven't treated myself to this in a long time I was excited and joyful after the service and still left a great tip to both technicians. But I will definitely not be going back and just continuing to do my own nails from now on. read more

My daughter and I are in town for a soccer tournament and we were looking for a low-key activity to do together after a big day of multiple soccer matches and a big win. Slay Me Nails was great! It was one block away from our hotel and already had excellent reviews. My daughter got color on her hands and toes and I had a mani-pedi with gel. The team was courteous (spoke mostly English, even to each other, in front of us), gentle, and did beautiful/detailed work. We love our nails! The only reason this is not 5 stars is because we had dinner plans with my daughter's soccer team and we didn't want to feel stressed about the timing so I called ahead to ask if there was a wait and was told there was no wait but we ended up waiting 15-20 minutes. I would have preferred an honest answer so I could make an informed decision and be able to relax more while getting the service. In the end, it worked out and we made it on time to the team dinner. I would definitely come back again! read more

Hello Jeanette,…
I came here back in September and loved my experience so I returned to get my nails done for Halloween. Tim did my nails this time and he filed my previous gel off instead of soaking them off and continued to file my nails a lot once the color was off as well. I liked how my nails looked and thought nothing of the filing since my nails looked long after my appointment and I assumed he knew what he was doing. Hours later I realized how weak my nails were, they went from strong to bendable. I came in on Thursday and by Sunday my nails were breaking on the sides, too far down my finger for me to just clip. I had to trim all my nails in order to get them to not fully break, but the damage was already done on 4 and the pain that came with it was terrible. He ruined my previously long and strong nails. It's been weeks, I'm still dealing with the damage and will have to for a while. read more

I refuse to go anywhere else bcuz my GelX nails always last more than a month when I see Kristy. They actually would last longer if I didn't force them to come off for a new set. the GelX is WORTH every penny, from the look to the no lifting, no breaking, and lasting!! I live over 30 min away & will arrange to come here anytime over any other nail salons. Ladies don't be cheap, go with the best ! Kristy is my GO TO but alllll the staff is amaamazing! read more

The artwork is good! My girl was always Carol. I'd go to her every 4-5 weeks. But my last appointment, it was upsetting as I had requested an appointment to be at a certain time, an hour before the appointment, they requested to push it to a later time. I arrive to the time that was suggested and I still waited for over 40 minutes. Someone came in after me and was seated immediately. I approached the front desk just to let him know I can come in at another day. Then the response was "come sit" and he sat me down. The service was rushed, but what made it worse was when carol and the front desk receptionist were talking about me, I was facing the tv, they turned around to look at me, turned back around and laughed. As someone who would tell everyone to come here, unless you want to be dismissed, be my guest. But I never came back because I thought they were more professional. Communication definitely needs to be worked on for future clients who aren't told anything. read more

Love love love this place! I found this place a few years ago and have never looked back. I literally drive 40 minutes just to get my nails done here. I have gotten my nails done by almost everyone who works there and they have never disappointed. It's always clean and feels very high end. The techs are really nice and I love the way they decorate for different holidays. Make sure to call a few days out for an appointment though or you may be waiting. read more

I went in worried the designs weren't going to be perfect. First time at this salon and it was peaceful. Thankfully they took me in as a same day. I have shown multiple pics and video of how I wanted and the placement of them. Took about 3 hrs. He was super patient with me and friendly. I didn't get his name at all unfortunately; However, the experience has def impacted me in a positive manner. Def recommend to check em out. THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

Honestly I'm not happy with my nails. Yeah the nail salon was beautiful, not my nail outcome. I was here yesterday morning prepping for my bachelorette weekend. I was so excited to visit the nail salon, definitely left very disappointed . I wanted a specific of design, which is attached. what I received is completely different. On the clear nails you can see my natural nail, also you see the bubbles on my nails, overall not happy with the quality. Plus my nail tech Kristy cut me multiple times.I'm more mad at myself for not speaking up. Lesson learned. I end up paying $150 for these nails and a pedicure, so not with the price! I wouldn't recommend visiting this salon. read more

I was in town for work so I decided to call and make an appointment for when I was done. They were able to accommodate same-day, just a few hours later. I appreciate that they sent a text reminder (you use that same cell number to check in when you arrive). They have free parking in the back. I was greeted immediately when I arrived. The salon was very clean and nicely decorated. I got a full acrylic set done. Square shape with a design (polishes were gel). My tech was named Amy and she was so kind! She was unable to do the initial design I requested but we compromised and adjusted. See photos for end result. I paid $85 for the set. They only take CASH tips, but you can pay for your service using your card (with a 3% fee). I believe they can also take tips via Zelle, Cash App, etc. I totally recommend this place to anyone residing or visiting the area (Downtown Riverside). read more

I really really wanted to like this place because of the close location to me, but unfortunately I had too many small difficulties that all added up to make me hesitant to go back. I went twice and both times the nail tech had the sanding tool on my nails too long and it burned one of my nails that I had to jump in pain. He quickly pressed down on my nail to stop the pain, but I wish it hadn't happened to begin with. The other concern was during my first time going, I had asked just for a "fill" of my original dipped nails like I get at my other salon but instead he took my nails off entirely to redo them and re-add tip extensions on. Plus I then had to pay for the full price of nail extensions with dip powder and gel manicure rather than just the fill. The liquid was also extremely hot and it was hard to keep my fingers in it. Finally, the main issue I had that stops me from going back was that the tips of my nails were not glued on completely so that I could feel the gap between the extension and the underneath real nail and it drove me crazy as I could "click" my nail on my real underneath nail. This led to me messing more with my nails and the glue then entirely popped off and the nails broke. I had hoped to try another nail tech to see if it was just one person's technique so on my second visit I requested a nail tech that is very recommended on yelp, but they ignored my request and placed me with the same guy the second time I visited, which resulted in the same difficulties and nail gap experience. Also then the second time my gel polish started peeling within a day of getting it done. I am sure if I had gotten the chance to return to fix my peeling nail, they would have fixed it, but I still felt for the price I paid I shouldn't have had to return within a day. It felt to me that he didn't leave my nails under the UV lamp for the full time, so perhaps one of the layers didn't entirely cure. I am giving this four stars because the nails themselves turned out very pretty and there are lots of wonderful colors to choose from. I also liked the check in procedure on the monitor and everyone is very nice at the location. It was a disappointment my request for a particular nail tech wasn't fulfilled and I just couldn't handle not having the nail entirely glued down both times I went. Perhaps in the future I might try again and request a different nail tech ahead of time. read more

We made an appointment for three pedicures and set of gelx nails. The chairs were ready when we arrived, which was great that they didn't double book and make us wait like a lot of places. KRSTY did my gel nails beautifully. I asked her to do a combination of youthful/fun, but also subtle and tame. She blended my two wants perfectly. The salon is beautiful and very clean. I would highly recommend. read more

When I arrived, I was greeted by the manager, MK and his team. The shop is immaculate with a crisp elegance. I had called for an appointment time and just needed to check in on their touchscreen to choose my services and was then given my place in line. I love that not only did they have unique nail colors they also had options for gel, dip, chrome, ombré and acrylic options. Their pedicures offer a variety of treatments and their spa chairs are brand new and well maintained (they have a cleaning log to ensure everything is tidy). The location offers street parking in front of the shop and parking behind the building. I have been looking for a nice nail salon to commit to and this will be it!! So excited to have found them! read more

I wanted to gate-keep this nail salon BUT it would be unfair to the nail artists here. These techs know what they are doing! We came in for pedicures and nail sets. MK did my nails exactly how I wanted them. The salon itself is very clean and well-kept. The women doing the pedicures wore gloves. The nail tools were kept in their sterile blue packaging. I am pleased at the attentiveness to cleanliness. The customer service was great! I called the front desk and they did a great job answering all my questions. When we arrived the front desk showed us a services menu and offered us drinks. Everyone there was respectful and so sweet. The prices are very fair considering the quality of the service and the tools they used. I felt they were very upfront about their pricing with their service menus. I will DEFINITELY be back. read more
