I just finished my appointment with John (Ut) and the whole experience was amazing! Respnse time, quality of service, cleanliness and covid protocols were on point. The shop is a cute hidden gem and it's very clean and sanitary. All of the tools are individually packaged for maximum cleanliness. Also John is very sweet and friendly! He's also very accommodating and was very willing to work with me in spite of my indecisiveness. I absolutely love the way my nails came out. For reference, I got builder gel overlay with a gel polish painted French tip design. I will definitely be back to The Nail Studio! read more

I normally don't write reviews, but I have to issue a warning after my horrible experience at the Nail Studio in Riverside. I reached out the owner over text and sent the design, she responded telling me she'll do it and it would be $80. I show up to my appointment and the owner was late and constantly on her phone which she apologized and I accepted. As we're underway, I notice that the cat eye color is pink and not red, I express these concerns and the owner assured me they'll fix it and she would put red underneath and cat eye on top, i say perfect. As we move on to my left hand, after she has me dry my hand I notice it's still so pink! I spoke up and said can we please make this red, that's the color I want. It's a Christmas design, so red was the color I wanted and I never speak up so this clearly was very pink so I asked if we could just settle on the plain red not even red glitter. At this point the owner husband arrived and they are talking non-stop. I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable hoping they aren't talking about me because I do feel bad she had to re-do my right hand but it's not my fault she didn't have red cat-eye and expected me to settle with pink. In the end my nails did not have cat eye, so I assumed when I'd pay I'd get the cat eye fee off. Instead the opposite happened, they raised the price from our original text from 80 to 90 dollars and when I spoke up about it, the owner's husband started interrupting me and it felt like he was trying to intimidate me and he was trying to explain why it's 90 but I pulled out my phone showing the text then Lucy says they want to charge me for their mistake on having to paint my right hand twice. I spoke up and said our texts said it would be $80 for a cat eye design, now you're trying to charge me $90 for a non cat eye design, how does that make sense? She finally said fine just 80 dollars which it should not have been if I just got a plain red polish. But whatever I paid her a 100 dollar bill she places the 20 down on the table and I'm already intimidated and feel bad so I let her know like you can have a tip and her husband starts laughing at me as if my tip was pathetic. I'm so humiliated for no reason, I run out of there as if I'm the one in the wrong. I've never felt this unhappy with an experience. This was not the design I wanted, yes Lucy did a good job but her and her husband are extremely unprofessional. I'm not sure if they try to scam first time customers and young girls or something but I will never be going back and you should do yourself a favor and go to another salon. read more

Really wonderful service by super nice people, I will definitely go back. They are incredibly thorough, you will not feel rushed at all! Last, you won't be pushed to add more services. I've been too many salons that it's a constant barrage of sales. This place has a nice quiet, relaxed and friendly vibe, unlike any other nail salon I've ever been to. read more

Superb customer service. First time coming here. Lucy took her time with my pedicure. It didn't feel like I was rushed out. Very happy with my pedicure. read more

The quality and friendly service you will receive here it truly top notch! They took the time to do our nails and me and my daughter were so happy with the results! We both felt pampered and will be back for sure. We walked in because it was the only shop open past 7pm and I promise we will be back for the pedicure in their fancy air massage chairs! read more

O M G!!! What an amazing place!!! First I noticed more than 200 reviews and still 5 stars! Now that I;ve taken my mom and I, I totally get it. The service was impeccable. Its obvious they are educated about what they do. The highest quality of acrylic and gentle processes that dont harm your natural nails. They were fast!!! And the conversation was not only cheerful and fun but heart centered. My mom is 92. She's precious and she's my everything. I know how blessed I am to share things like salon dates with her! Relishing these moments and only wanting to take her to the best places. I found that today. John & Lucy, Thank you both so much! We will see you soon and repeatedly!

John was great, was gentle with removing my in grown toenail and my Pedi came out nice! I have found my new spot! Thank you John!!

I have been looking for a new local nail salon and I think I found the place!! I was calling around last min and John welcomed me in right away for a gel pedicure. He offered water and was super attentive. The woman doing my pedicure did an amazing job, I didn't get her name but she was very thorough plus did a great foot massage. I am so happy I came! Thank you so much, I will be back soon!! read more

Called as soon as they opened on a Wednesday and was able to make an appointment for the bf and I for that same afternoon. I strongly recommend making an appointment as it is a small, cozy spot. It was a great experience and the owner is a gem: welcoming, down to earth, and respectful. We had a great experience and are really happy with the turn out of the gel manicures. We both partake in martial arts and, over a week later, have not had any peeling or lifting. Will definitely be going back. read more

The Nail Studio - Gel manicures part service. Very happy! - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

I've been coming here for about a year now. There is a lot to say about this salon and the owner but I'll try to keep it short. Ut is a very unique, humble, kind, and affable person. His customer service skills are among the best I have ever seen/experienced and I think it's due to his authenticity. My nails always look incredible. It's rare to find a business that provides great customer service and high quality work. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Upon arriving I noticed John is all the way in the back of the Salon. I walked over and sat down as i was doing that John welcomes me. He was working on someone but I was about 20 minutes early. John is extremely professional and very easy to talk to. I am so glad I found him here in Riverside. There are usually no good nail salons and JOHN IS AMAZING! I highly recommend you coming here. He listens to what you want. I will not go anywhere else now. For everyone who has not come to him before just know he is by APPOINTMENT ONLY! Be kind and courteous as he is the only one who works at this salon! (His own shop) Thank you John again for my nails and a great conversation! I will be back! read more

What an amazing salon! This was my first time going but it will definitely not be my last! We came in as a party of three and alternated between two pedicures, one manicure, and two fills. John and Lucy both did amazing work! Kind and professional, we all felt comfortable and well taken care of. This small nail salon is just the ticket if you are looking for an intimate setting for a little pampering. Great people and great work! read more

Wow! Super impressed with their service. I've been in the area for two years and all I can say is they gained a patron after today. Excellent place! read more

Came in once and liked it. Called several times throughout the day today and no one is answering and my text messages are being ignored. Says they're open, so I'm not sure if this is how they run business normally. Let me add that JOHN VERBALLY ATTACKED ME and made a total scene as I was getting my nails done with Lucy. I ahowed them what I wanted and they said sure no problem, then all of a sudden they had none of the colors they claimed to have before they started my nails. Then John YELLS AT ME multiple times and tells me to "hurry up and quit taking so long" because he has @real customers" to take care of. This was literally my first time there and I was shocked. Who tf talks to a customer like that? It wasn't my fault my nails (a SIMPLE French tip) would take over two hours. That's YOUR nail tech's fault not mine. These people are uneducated and have no capacity on how to run a business. They are RACIST and biased and talk to white customers a wholeeee lot differently than they talked to myself and other black customers in the shop. John texted me after this Yelp review threatening me by the way. Save your time and money. read more

First time going to the Nail Studio and they have the best hospitality they made sure I was comfortable offered me some water or even some coffee. My nails came out so nice! I wanted a very natural look and I got it! And I had the best pedicure done as well . I will for sure return thank you so much! read more

I hesitated to post this but I would hate for others to not know the experience I had here. The gentleman was very friendly on the phone, and actually fit me in last minute so I was able to come in within 30 minutes & be serviced. Immediately he was very welcoming and talkative, offered wine, television, & put the massage chair on. I keep seeing the same mentions of the spa foot bath not being used, IT'S TRUE. This is a dry pedicure where they only use a spray bottle with some kind of liquid, likely water. I am a very simple person when it comes to pedicures, all I ever want is a neat, white & pink gel french tip. All seemed okay and he began the process, using a hot foot moisturizer bag, massage, then callus treatment, then finally shaping my natural nails that I had allowed to grow out for this pedicure. He then put on the base nude pink I chose but I noticed he only did one pass and began to cure it. This single layer of gel polish didn't fully cover my natural nail color and discoloration. At this point, I began to pay more attention to what he was doing. He started to do the white tip with a skinny brush and it was extremely messy and uneven. Didn't ring any alarms as often times people do this before they begin cleaning it up with another brush. However, he cured it this way. I was very concerned so after he cured that one, before he got a chance to cure the other one I pointed out to him how eneven all the tips were & he was very understanding and fixed all of them from scratch. He filed all the gel off & began again. However, not all the gel came off. There were still white spots on the sides and edges that were flaking up. He also didn't clean the powder off from the filing with any alcohol or even water, just used a dry brush. Then he began the process, using one single pass of gel again. He then did the french tips a lot better, using a different technique & a brush to clean them up. The tips came out better but the remnants of the previous intent were still there. I also noticed how unevenly some of my nails had been filed which was disappointing as I had let them grow out so that I could get a nice square shape. I left the salon knowing the work I had done but at that point he had redone the whole thing already & I fear he just could not achieve what I was going for. I'm sure he does a decent one color pedicure but for what I was looking for, he did not succeed. My pedicure lacks neatness in the details and the edges are flaking up terribly. Fairly disappointed with my results & will not be returning for any sort of touchups as they seem to offer. I don't think I have a complicated request, I just think he needs to work on his techniques some more & put more attention in the details. read more

What a local gem! I reached out a few days ago to schedule an appointment, and the owner was very prompt in responding and communicative. I went in for my scheduled appointment today and was really impressed with the experience! The location was easy to find and had ample parking. The salon was really pretty inside and the chair was super comfortable. The owner/technician was very friendly, personable, knowledgeable and talented! This was my first time ever getting acrylics and he understood exactly what I was asking for and delivered (I requested a natural look and I'm so pleased with the outcome)!!! He took such good care of me and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend! read more

John never disappoints! The Nail Studio is very cozy and welcoming. John always makes sure that you're well taken care of and his reviews speak for themselves. I love getting my pedicures done here because they do a dry pedicure which I think is more hygienic and I always leave with my nails looking perfect! Booking is super easy as well.

Great salon the owner is amazing I love it he is so personable and makes you feel so welcome

It was such a great service and my daughter loved French nails!! Great service and great result. I had a problem on waiting at other salons even though I had an appointment. But he was very attentive and we had a great service . Thank you and see you soon !! read more

Owner is too full of himself ! Maybe he had a bad day - but it doesn't mean that he can treat clients like he treated me . Worse service ever . read more

Wanted to go but but been told by few people that they was treated rude and not professional. Level of service should be equal to everyone.

Came across them during my search for something closer to home and I won't lie but the main picture with the colorful bowl was the main reason we went. Upon arriving the staff was amazing and friendly. Plus the massage chairs were amazing! Let me tell you my nails stayed on longer than when I went to other salons. I'm very rough with my hands and my work requires me to use my hands 24/7 and with chemicals and none of them have lifted and I got them done on the 10th long over due and need to get them redone but I'm just happy they've lasted this long. read more

It was my first time there and I love how my nails came out I had gotten my nails done at a different location and suffered because I didn't like how they came out, I'm glad I saw this location on Yelp with the amazing reviews.

I've been getting acrylics regularly for over 10 years and have tried MANY different nail technicians. With that being said, John is AMAZING!!! Not only are his technical skills top notch, he gives off good vibes and made my visit so comfortable and fun. The acrylics came out beautiful where they're even and not thick/chunky. He was able to recommend a great color for my toes too. It was out of my comfort zone but I'm so glad I trusted him. It looks great!! You can tell John really takes care of his customers. He's very accommodating and has a good heart. I have definitely found my new regular nail place (yay!) HELPFUL TIP: Call or text the business in advance to make an appointment because they are currently not accepting walk in's due to COVID and John is usually booked up for a few days at a time. read more
