    Beautiful nails
    Erica D.

    Looked for a good nail salon by me and this came up! I saw reviews and pictures and the nails all looked so good! I was able to make a same day appointment! I came in and showed Mimi a reference photo and she did my nails exactly how I wanted them! They came out amazing and flawless! Highly recommend and I'll be going back! Thank you The Nail Studio! She even took pictures on my phone for me! Super friendly!

    I have never gotten acrylics done before and after coming here I don't want to ever stop going back! I decided to try this place after seeing the amazing reviews and they did not disappoint!! Nini is amazing I will show her a design and she can copy it perfectly and can also help customize it to make sure that I am in love with my nails each time. She is so patient and while I am very rough my nails and they stay very well for over 5 weeks! This nail salon is amazing and below are photos Nini took of my nails she did!

    10/10 would come again, it's hard to find good nail places with Cat Eye polish in Riverside area but this place had it & was perfect for me. They had all the colors and were able to do my designs no problem. Pricing is also reasonable!

    I was serviced by Lucy who no longer works here but she did an outstanding job with the tiny, intricate details on my nails. I came close to closing when it was already dark outside and the owner/ manager (not exactly sure) walked me out to my car when I was finished. I had a wonderful experience here with the lovely people who helped me and my nails lasted me 1 & 1/2 months without any of them coming off! also here's Lucy's instagram for anyone who wants to check out her amazing work :) @lucy_nails90

    I just moved to Riverside from Long Beach and was in search of a new nail spot, which was pretty nerve-wracking after going to the same nail tech for over 12 years. NINI exceeded all my expectations!

    I absolutely love this nail salon. The service and response time are amazing. I sometimes bring a bit of a challenge in my design choice, but there hasn't been a set that I was disappointed with! The prices are fair and affordable which is also another reason I love coming here it is THE nail salon to come to in Riverside

    wow !!! I'm so glad I came to this nail salon, I saw that's it's a 5 star so I decided to give it a try myself and I do not regret it at all. My set took less than an hour, yet came out soooo good im so amazed!!! I recommend this nail salon to everyone! :)))

    Nude pink color with chrome. Exactly what I asked for.

    This Christmas marks my one-year anniversary with Slay Me Nails, and this is my honest one-year…read morereview. 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.

    I am conflicted. I only recommend this place because for once, most of the people in there are…read moreactually 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.

When your staff notice my pinky I fully let her know I've had an issue from previous yrs and I had been on medication, at the point she should have said I'm sorry salon policy is we might refuse service let me talk to my manager he has the last call. Instead what happens was she asked her coworker not once but twice and then with out even as an excuse me I'll be back she got up to talk to you. That's before she kept asking her coworkers on the steps on how to proceed with a pedicure. In my review I did mention you try to resolve but when you loose trust how can you?

I walked in the other day did not make an appointment and I was seen right away. I always drive by this and I'm just so glad it's so near to my home. I know this may sound weird and it's my trauma speaking but -I felt so loved and cared for coming in there although it was my first time. I am really glad that I walked in because they have been nothing but so lovely and so, so wonderful. What I appreciate most is also the people who own it and staff there are also kind people. The owners Yvonne and Vincent are so great and genuinely kind. And it's not a fake smiles and fake customer service and two faced kind ya know?? They are just so respectful to each other and the way their demeanor and they speak kindly and polite to each other as husband and wife -you can tell that there is so much mutual respect and love between them and it's not like your usual husband and wife hostile behavior with a nail shop couple yelling and belittling each other in front of clients, etc. (Other staff are also very nice and welcoming!!!) People don't realize how rare it is to see a husband and wife, actually respect and love each other and speak to each other kindly or is that just my trauma speaking, lol but it was very healing to witness more than once. It just reflects the type of people they are, the managers they are, and the kind of healthy environment they provide by how they treat each other and staff. Not many people follow the golden rule to treat others how they want to be treated and it's very rare to experience common decency. 10 billion stars seriously!!!! Highly highly definitely recommend!!!!! My nails came out beautifully and perfect. I'm so obsessed. Major confidence boost as soon as we finished up. I got a milky gel and Vincent did beautiful work. He's very thorough, very kind, so gracious and made sure that I was comfortable the entire time and let me mess with my phone. I'm sure how annoying that could be for other people lol and they make it known, but there was not a single bad vibe here. There was no animosity no drama no negativity. It was just very peaceful in there and I'm really grateful that I got to experience this because it's been a long time since I've had a set of nails that I loved. I will definitely come here every time that I can for as long as I can to support them! I'm very proud of them - thank you very much Yvonne and Vincent !!!!! 1 billion stars out of 1 billion stars you guys are amazing and I appreciate you so much. You have no idea.
