The girl I had been going to for manicures & pedicures for 9 years sold her business so I needed to find a new spot... That's how I discovered unique salon. And wow! Was I impressed.. I had my dip manicure done by Vy and my pedicure done by his lovely wife.. They both did the most amazing work, that looks absolutely beautiful. I am so happy. I will definitely be going back.. 10 outta 10 recommend... read more

First off, let me say that I've been getting gel manicures and pedicures for many years. I decided to give my nails a break from acrylic and gel polishes. I went here to have my acrylic nails removed and get a regular mani and pedi. The nail tech had me place my fingers in what I believe to be 100% acetone to soften the acrylic nails. After removing my fingers from the acetone the technician proceeded to wipe off the remaining acrylic and then do my manicure. I had to ask her to let me wash my hands because my fingers were stinging a bit, the acetone was drying white on my fingers and the smell was strong. The finished product looked good until a day or so later when the skin on my fingers was dry and peeling, so the acetone literally burned off a layer of my skin!! I wish they would have taken care to ensure that there was only enough acetone to cover the tips of my fingers, where the nails are, duh, and not have it where my most of my fingers were in the acetone. My plan was to start doing my own nails anyway, so it's definitely one and done for me at Unique Salon. read more

Unique Salon - Black French tip with heart - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

I rarely right reviews, but I wanted to take the time to note my positive experience at Unique Salon. First of all, they were immediately ready to take me for my manicure and pedicure appointment. Kathy even had the water running for the pedicure as I walked in. For the 5 minute massage, she used this adorable duck timer to ensure I got the full 5 minutes (I've never seen that). For my gel manicure, Alex did some intricate designs on every nail for a very reasonable price. After being charged $15 for VERY simple designs on 2 fingers in Moreno Valley I was impressed and grateful. They earned the position as my go-to salon. I hope they remain as good for long .I'm starting to feel like if you want good service you should go to a shop where the owners are the techs. The 5 minute massage was more of a rub, but me mentioning that is just being me being particular bc I'm a perfectionist lol read more

Best pedicure I've had in a long time. I get ingrown toenails and they took their time and got it all taken care of for me. They didn't nickel and dime me. I'll definitely be back. read more

Originally, I didn't like them; he happily changed them and gave me the perfect set for my wedding day! Thank you read more

If u want your nails to brake within a week this is the place the go. Within a week I had 4 nails break in half just doing simple tasks. When I went back and got them fixed he fixed them free of charge, which i appreciate but then within a week two more have broken. They do them to thin. read more

I really liked this place but today marks two bad experiences twice in a row so I don't think I'd go back again. Last month I scheduled three appointments 3 weeks in advance for my daughter, my husband, and I. We arrived and they did all our pedis and my daughters mani right away. I had scheduled a full set for myself as well and since my daughter is smaller and her and my husband were already done I told them to leave without me and I'll stay to get my full set so they don't have to wait. I waited around for HOURS for someone to do my full set. They did three girls before me even though they showed up after me. I didn't want to say anything at first because I didn't wanna be that person. But almost THREE hours had passed since I had arrived and no one had still helped me with my full set. The owner would look my way but never asked if there was anything else I was waiting on or something. I finally spoke up and he said he wasn't aware I was getting a full set (even though I made an appointment for that well in advance). He checked his schedule book and must of realized I was right and had someone else start on my nails right away. I was in the salon for a little over 4 hours that day. Just super upsetting cause I made our appointments 3 weeks in advance. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and came back today but had another bad experience. I came on here this am and was chatting with someone (not sure if I was speaking to the owner or one of the employees) from the salon over messages to make an appointment for today. They asked me what I wanted and I told them a fill with gel polish. They told me to send them a picture of my current nails and when I did they told me it looked like I had dip nails so that they wouldn't be able to do a fill on dip nails, only a new set. So I said that's fine that I'll just get them removed and I'll get a regular gel manicure instead. They scheduled my appointment for 10:30 with me over Yelp messages. I showed up around 10:20 and when I got in the owner asked me what I needed and I said a regular gel manicure. And he was like "are you sure you don't want a fill?" And since someone had already told me that I couldn't get a fill I said no just a gel manicure. And he then told me they wouldn't be able to help me until another 30 mins. Even though I had literally just made my appointment for 10:30 and I even showed up 10 min early. I waited and another guy told me he would start on the removal on my nails until the ladies became available. I asked him if my nails are dip or acrylic because I wasn't sure because I was under the impression that the last time I was there they did acrylic cause that's what I asked for but that the person I spoke to over Yelp messages told me it was dip. He confirmed that they were acrylic and not dip. So I told him if he can just do a fill then since that's what I originally wanted but they had told me they couldn't over messages. He started doing my nails and let me add that I don't have an issue at all with this guy. He's already done my nails twice and he's very nice. As he was doing my nails the owner passes behind him looks over at my nails and starts speaking in his language but says "fill" in English so I knew he was talking about me and he starts laughing. It made me feel very uncomfortable. He was the one that asked me if I was sure I didn't want a fill when I got there and I said no only cause they had already told me I couldn't, so it seems like he was laughing cause he had just asked me and I said no but ended up getting that after all. Only reason why I told him no when I first arrived is because they had literally just told me over messages that I couldn't get a fill. The whole situation was very unprofessional and made me uncomfortable cause I can tell they were talking about me in their language and he was laughing. I was happy that I had finally found a good salon that I can go to along with my daughter and husband but after these two appointments I won't be going back. Just not the vibes I wanna experience when getting my nails done especially since we get them done monthly. Now on the hunt for a better place in our area. read more

Overall, it was a good experience. The nail tech still took me even though I was a little late to my appointment. Some pros: - They accept credit card payments without an added fee, plus you can tip with your card too - Great customer service - They had a playlist of 90s/early 2000s music videos playing which is always fun - They had a lot of color options, even for regular polish - Massage for manicure and pedicure was really good Some cons: - Cleanliness was questionable. It didn't seem like the cleanest salon. The towels that were used had nail polish on them. - Small salon, so not great if you and a few girlfriends wanted to go together read more

Unique Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

I honestly would not recommend this salon. Although they were very nice I did not like my services at all. I have been getting dip nails for several years now and it felt like she wasn't sure how to remove the dip bc she ended up filling my nails super super thin to the point that the drill started to burn my nail. I also asked for a coffin shape but she only made it square. I also felt that the color didn't come out even. Also the worst part is my nail chipped today and it hasn't even been a week which is extremely disappointing. In terms of my pedicure I HATED that the lady dug in my toenails for sooooo long it started to get painful and uncomfortable. also they literally took a lemon and rubbed it on my leg it was very strange. again I thought they were really nice but in terms of the actual service it was not good or up to my standard. I would not go back. read more

Unique Salon - Done by Brian. He always does an amazing job! Ombré with glitter. - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

This is a nice place to get your nails done. The pricing is fair. I got acrylics with gel and chromatic nails. My nail tech explained the prices before paying. It was $45 for acrylics +$5 for gel and +$5 for chrome. The lady asked if I had a photo reference (and I did!) and she was able to recreate it. I didn't give the place 5 stars because after my pedicure, I got an ingrown nail. But I still loved the polish and the service. I don't usually get pedicures but I will definitely come back for a manicure read more
