    I've been coming here on and off for about a year, but today was by far my worst experience--and it will likely be my last visit. I spent over $150, and not even five hours later my nails are already chipping. The quality just wasn't there. The nails look lumpy, and there are visible specks that look like dust trapped in the polish. I'm extremely disappointed. I even spoke up during the appointment and pointed out that my nails looked crooked, but my concerns were ignored. I also brought two friends with me, and they were unhappy with their results as well. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience, especially given the price.

    Gel manicure by Lam
    Claudine R.

    I came here one time to get a gel manicure and one nail fixed. The space is very big with many chairs for pedicures and four chairs for manicures. The space is quiet and the service is kind but paying $50 for a gel manicure, I was expecting 10/10 perfection But unfortunately, I would rate my manicure a 7/10. I'm a very picky and detailed person when it comes to my manicures and I try to communicate when I don't like something in a very polite way. Lam was very sweet and mostly did everything that I asked, but I noticed my right hand nails were noticeably longer than my left hand nails. I tried to tell her to shorten them, but it wasn't done properly and I didn't want to nitpick and ask again. I had to ask her a few times to fix the shape of a few nails because I felt most of nails didn't look a like. I also noticed that when the nail polish was applied, my nails didn't look smooth, I don't know if it was the polish or just the filing of the nail. Overall, I don't think I would come back just based on my first experience and the pricing.

    Poor job on Dazzle Dry Manicure. Lasted two days.
    Shannen B.

    Up until my last experience I would have given this place five stars. The last time I went I got a simple Dazzle Dry mani-pedi right before a trip out of town. One of the women was instructing the other how to do Dazzle Dry as she was doing my nails so I know she didn't have any training on it. I've gotten Dazzle Dry many times before and a few times at this nail salon. She touched my nail to see if it was dry among other things which is a huge no no. I pointed this out during the service and the woman in charge said to come back if I had issues. The edges of my finger nails started lifting after two days. I called when I got back into town, but they were closed so I called the next open day and no one answered. They called me back, but I was at work so I just decided to go in the next day. So I returned on the fifth day. The woman who told me to come back was not there. I explained the issue and they acted like I was trying to get a free nail service. They asked me to pick a color and then said they were going to charge me for a polish change because I was getting a different color. Why ask me to pick a color then? I told them I'm not paying again for a service I had already paid for and that I was fine with the color I had. It's unreasonable to ask me to pay a premium price for a nail service that lasts two days. They really treated me poorly and acted like I had never had a manicure or a DD manicure before. As she was fixing my nails they tried to say it was because of something I did because I have fragile nails. My nails have been fragile my entire life and never had an issue like this before. They were speaking in Vietnamese so I couldn't understand everything but some of the words were about my service so I knew they were talking about me. So I told them I didn't appreciate how I was being treated or being talked about in front of my face and then that's when they said they wouldn't charge me. And the woman started being nicer and told me to pick whatever color I wanted and they wouldn't charge me. But why was I made to feel bad and then talked about? Shouting across the salon in front of the other customers trying to humiliate me. I left that place so demoralized and pissed. They told me I should have come back sooner. Some of us have lives and jobs. It's an inconvenience to return for a service that should have been done right the first time. How about an apology for a poor service and wasting my time? It's very disappointing because all my other experiences have been good, they're close to my home and I even bought a Dazzle Dry kit from them to gift to my mother. That's why I'm giving them a three instead of a one star review. I hate to write bad reviews about small businesses, but it's been two months and I still feel bad when I think about how I was treated.

    Great experience again. I tried to squeeze in my husband last minute to my pedicure, and they were super busy, but made it work. They asked if we could be a bit patience but they'd squeeze us in. We were able to use the pedicure chairs with a hot foot soak while we waited, and it was no more than 30 ish minutes. They have tons of gel colors so you can pick to your hearts content. I went with the deluxe gel pedicure which ran about ~$90. Their gel pedicure lasted about 2 months the last time around so the quality of their work is definitely there. No champagne or wine but they have candy

    I love this nail spa! I've been coming here for about a year now. They are so respectful of appointments which I appreciate so much I never have to wait. They're so organized with their color selections and nail decals, makes choosing so much easier. Rich does my gel x French tips and he pays so much attention to detail he's a true artist of his craft

    I had excellent time getting my nails done by Donna. She went to great detail on nails I love them.

    The first time I went here I was so pleased with the service. I returned today and met the owner whom was extremely rude. I entered and said I had an appointment. Everyone stared at me nodding so I just sat down. Suddenly a woman yelled HELLO to me from behind the counter as I was sitting down waiting. I was so confused I had no idea she was even speaking to me. I wanted to say Goodbye and leave, but I decided to let it go. On my way out I was paying in cash, received my change and was counting it to tip my technician when she said are you going to tip her." Ma'am I just paid over $110 for nails please be respectful. I was the only person in the salon there was no rush. Better to find an equally as nice establishment that treats people with respect.

    Service is always amazing here! It's very clean and cutesy! I absolutely love my nails and lashes!! Nails by Rich Lashes by Donna! This is three weeks in! And they still love fresh.

    Walked in, no appointment, Donna immediate got me seated on a Saturday afternoon. The vibes were so calming. There were candy/snacks offered on the side and despite there being 6 customers, it was still relatively quiet. This was honestly the most detailed that a tech has been for my natural nails. I asked for a silver chrome hard gel and Donna spent at least 2 hours making sure all the detailed was perfect- from shape, color, powder, and art. She used tools that I've never seen, she whipped out the thinnest nail brush I've ever seen! I love my new nails. They match my rings perfectly

    This spot never fails to absolutely impress me. I've gone to several different nail salons in the city and have never had consistently well done nails until here. I've gotten dip and hard gel and both always look clean and professional. They're so kind and are happy if you let them know what you want changed and never take it personally if you had a different vision!! truly recommend this spot (I also love that you can make an appointment on their website!)

    My first time at Valencia Nail Spa and it was the last appointment before they close. The actual service was great, very friendly atmosphere, however I just noticed how poorly my nail polish application was for my pedicure. The salon is very cute and clean. The services were just a little subpar considering what you're paying for. It's a bit pricey overall, but I understand it's the city. Would I come back again? Maybe, but I'd pay more close attention to the details.

I can bring in a vague idea or inspo pic and she somehow always executes it exactly how I imagined... if not better. Her skill set is super versatile, too, so whether I'm going simple or more detailed, chrome, 3D, fine lines, French tips... she can do it all and it always looks clean and intentional. She's also really efficient in the best way. Nothing ever feels rushed, but she works with a level of ease and confidence that makes the whole process feel seamless. And the durability is kind of unreal. I'm hard on my hands for my job and I've never had lifting, chipping, or breaks-- ever. That alone is rare, especially with this level of design. It's this mix of creativity and technical precision that's so hard to find, and why I keep coming back. So grateful to have found this spot... do yourself a favor, stop scrolling and BOOK IT!

This was the…read moresecond time that I visited Spectrum - the first was to get a gel-x set and pedicure with a friend, which was fine. This time, however, all I wanted was a builder gel fill but I left with two cut fingers and pure disappointment. I could tell that the woman doing my nails was shaving aggressively, but I figured she wanted to be quick & efficient. I didn't feel the cuts when they happened, otherwise I definitely would've said something about the pain. However, later in the process, I heard her say "oh" and I noticed that my left ring finger was ACTIVELY bleeding. Most frustratingly, she did not say sorry OR address the blood, rather, just started cleaning it like nothing happened. Then I looked at my right ring finger and saw cut skin there as well. I got light headed but couldn't muster up the courage to object. I shouldn't have to. The photos do not do it justice because as I mentioned, my left ring finger was BLEEDING down the nail. To make things worse, this nail technician was extremely rude and short. When I asked her if my left pinky nail could be shortened to match the length of my right pinky, she looked at it and didn't say a word. It wasn't until all the paint was finished that I then asked her again "can we please make this length match"? And she finally said she was going to, as if my question was an imposition. The audacity. At the end of the appointment, I still tipped (less than I normally do), regretfully-so. When I asked her if her name was one of the displayed venmo cards she said "no". Unfortunately, I do not have her name but she was on the younger side with glasses. I would not recommend unless you want to feel rushed, ignored, and even injured. I will not be going back to this salon.

I can tell it's well loved by the surrounding community because there were so many people who walked in and knew the staff by their first name. I walked here from the bus stop off Rhode Island and 16th. It was a short and pleasant 10min walk from where I started. It was flat until I passed by a Whole Foods when the journey was all uphill. Short of breath, I made it to the top of the hill and to my destination *phew. It was a nice quad and glute workout for sure. I was greeted by a friendly staff and led to a wall of nail polish (sometimes the choices are overwhelming). I chose a bright pink and sparkly OPI nail polish. It felt summery. I ended up feeling tense as I sat and eased my feet into warm water. Annie, my nail artist, told me to relax but my body wanted to do the opposite. I think I get tense when my toenails are being cut as if to anticipate pain, but when I felt comfortable with her technique, I started to relax. It was probably the most relaxed I've been all week. Annie was sweet and attentive. She also did a really good job removing my cuticles and massaging my calves. I needed it! It was a great way to end a stressful day at work. I would love to come back!

The technician clipped my cuticle too far, causing bleeding, and was very rough throughout the service -- especially while removing the builder gel and filing my nails. She also skipped steps that Andrew had previously done, which affected the overall quality. I clearly asked for a gel builder fill and to keep my length, but she began filing my nails down anyway. I had to repeat myself multiple times and eventually had to switch to Gel-X just to regain the length that was removed. There also seemed to be a language barrier. However, instead of asking a coworker for clarification, she continued with what she thought I said rather than confirming my request. I ultimately had to stop and ask another staff member walking by to help translate. Additionally, pricing was not transparent. The service is listed online as $70 for a gel builder fill, but I was charged $85. When I asked about it, I was told I had already been given a discount, which was confusing and not explained. This technician needs more professionalism and should be spoken to regarding both technique and customer care. Overall, this experience felt rushed and careless, which was very disappointing given how great my first visit was.
