Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Riverside, CA (Part 2)

Cynthia Reyes I went to get my nails done this past Thursday and soon as I got home my fingers were on fire and super itchy! Dk if it was a reaction to the nails or if it was from unclean tools but I had to take my nails off 3 days after. Just be careful!

brianna cuellar The staff was super nice, welcoming, and helpful. The person who did my nails listened to what I wanted, and met my expectations! I showed him a photo for inspiration and he got it spot on! Very happy with my nails. Will definitely come back here.

Emma Delano The customer service is the best! I love how welcoming they are and the service is 10/10. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the nails as this was the best a salon has done my nails!

Dani Banter I don’t typically go to get my nails done. I don’t have money, but an opportunity to get my nails done as a birthday gift arose and I went to Sierra Nails. I have a hard time picking what type of nails and color to get because other nail places I went to gave me stuff I didn’t like. I got my nails done by Lanny, she eased my nerves and helped pick something that went with my skin tone and I really loved how they turned out. She’s very nice, and keeps you entertained while you’re getting your nails done. She did excellent work, I’m so happy with my nails.

Cindy Tran First time coming here and I asked for Lanny that my friend referred. She did really great job that much more better compare to my last nail lady who I had been for almost 8 years. Lanny really took her time and did wonderful job. Im verry happy and will definetely recommend her.

Roxanne Orozco I have been coming to Lani for 10yrs and she never disappoints me! I’ve chased this lady down from different nail shops. Shes not only amazing at what she does she’s the sweetest person ever! Highly recommended and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Cameron Bauer You wont find better customer service anywhere - Polish UP has such a fun atmosphere and I loved the personality and atmosphere of the place! They took such good care of my nails, as well. Will definitely be back!

Aylin Castro This place is just amazing. Staff is so welcoming and warming. Jackie and Alex go above and beyond go help accommodate your needs. Services are top quality all around. They talk through service on what maintenance we can do to continue having healthy nails and eyelashes ( shout out to Jodie the esthetician on staff). All the friends I have brought have loved coming here.

Brenda Varcie I really like the atmosphere in this salon. Jackie did an amazing job on my nails—they look fantastic. Im definitely coming back with my friends. Plus, its super simple to gift someone a great nail experience here using one of their gift cards.

Noe Rojo I love this place. This is my 3 time and they been doing a fantastic job . And they dress up like normal people to make you feel more welcome . They even have a little toy cat so cute.

Nhu Hua Henry was very considerate and attentive. He was able to recreate the nails design after being shown a picture of the nail I wanted. 10/10 would recommend to friends/family.

cristiana segura First time here, Henry did my full set and he was very fast and did an amazing job! High recommend

Nella Caron They did my grandmas nails. The lady was careful with her feet. She was attentive. I highly recommend this location. Plus, payment can be done with a card. Most locations require cash.

Krissy Harkey I highly recommend Sarah! I’ve been a customer for several years, and they never fail to exceed my expectations. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel welcome and comfortable. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and my nails have never looked better! The precision, creativity, and care they put into their work truly set them apart. Not only do they deliver stunning results, but they also take the time to ensure my nails stay healthy. If youre looking for a talented and professional nail tech, look no further Sarah is the best! I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Susie Slaughter I have been coming here For a couple of years now. The prices are very reasonable. My tech Always makes time for me to be seen usually the same day that I call. If not, she will let me know when the next available appointment is. It’s a convenient location and it’s not crowded. They are very thorough and pay attention to detail.

Zelanna Curtis First time going there, was very happy with the outcome of how my feet and nails were done. Will be returning there again.

Capitan Hilde I received a pedicure from Kim. I shared that I needed her to be careful because I am diabetic. Kim was very careful with my feet and very kind. I will absolutely come back!

G. Perez Love this place! Jenny takes her time to make sure all nails match. Perfect almond shape.

Cass Stone Lady didn’t CLIP my cuticles she YANKED them . I kept having to pull my hands away . Air bubbles but I can’t get a good pic . I was really hoping to like tHis place bc it was so close . They were atleast nice . My index finger on my right han hurts tho

Letty Most definitely not happy with my pedicure. I’m taking a closer look at them and the nail polish was just done so terrible, my poor nails are not even full covered! I do not pay $50(+ tip) for my nails to look like this. Not only was she running cold water on my feet on cold weather but she rushed the whole pedicure and honestly I didn’t even feel satisfied when I left. Very bad experience.

Jasmine Clark This was my first and LAST time here, PLEASE save yourself the time and money and go anywhere but here. Horrible service!!!!!! Absolutely horrible, I left in TEARS. I came in after a full 8 hours of work and simply wanted a gel French Tip, mani/ pedi on my classic nails.. no acrylic, no gel x, just classic. Upon arrival an older gentleman started working on my feet, my big toe was chipped and WITHOUT ASKING, he was putting glue on my toe and about to put dip/acrylic. I absolutely am against these products because they have caused fungus on my toe and so l asked him not to. He immediately started going off in their language, and I shouldve known red flag but I proceeded. Meanwhile a woman was working on my hands and as she was cutting my cuticles cut me. NEVER apologized and left me bleeding, I had to ask for a napkin to which she grabbed a towel and wiped the dripping blood off. Again, I politely asked for a napkin and she passed me the smallest corner piece of one. Red flag two! Back to the man shaping my toes, they were all crooked, he didnt even attempt to make a square shape. I knew then I wasnt going to get my toes done and asked him to please stop and I dont want color on my toes. Back to my hands the lady wasnt doing the French tip how I liked and I was vocal about it, however I had already been sitting there for 1 hour 45 minutes.. she really said "if you dont like, I wont do for you, I wont take the money" lady what? I have 7 nails done and youre not going to finish? Ill literally never ever come back here. Luckily I was raised to never leave an establishment without paying, but BOY did I wanna up and leave and not leave a coin. Service is HORRIBLE

Rebecca G I booked Jessica and she did my full set. I asked for custom colors and patterns she was so patient and kind to help achieve the look I wanted. I even had my 2 year old daughter get a manicure here for the first time and they were very kind to her and did great with her.

Cathia Sanchez Got my toes done here, they did a great job on my toes, the chairs are super comfy and the service was spectacular. I came with a girlfriend and they made arrangements so we could sit next to each other and hang while we both got serviced. They even gave me a pillow! It was awesome! Definitely recommend this place ! Last but not least, it was cheap!

Erin Milleru bqi I have been to plenty of nail salons in riverside and have not very good experiences. I tried out top ten nails hoping to have a better experience. I was not disappointed. Their customer service was excellent. They were all polite and friendly. Mindy did my full set and I asked her to do a very time consuming and kind of difficult design I found on TikTok, I explained to her that Valentine’s Day was also my birthday and 5 year anniversary and she went above and beyond to do the design I asked for and took her time and was very thorough. My nails not only came out beautiful but even better than the picture I showed her. She was so kind and caring and absolutely made my day. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had getting my nails done.

Aileen Vian Love this place been going here for about 4 years now, love ❤️ totally recommend they are usually busy but they fit you in. Always get acrylics, love how they always come out, super nice love how they ask you questions so you won’t get bored :) Cindy & helen are the best.

Hydie Perez Paid $77 total for gel nails and pedicure got crome added on my hands so that was $10+ . I understand prices are high bc people need to make a living. I cannot afford to be getting my nails done all the time so I only get them done for special occasions. I don’t understand how someone who does nails all the time gets the polish all the way to the cuticle to where the very next day the polish starts to lift not only that but the polish is wearing off on the edges. Not happy with the work that was done. I should have spoken up but I’d rather just find somewhere else to go.

Iris Saavedra Love love this place ! Best nail salon , great service and you just feel so comfortable with great Music , environment and you walk out loving your nails and can’t wait to come back and get another great design. My go to person is Nanci , she’s amazing, fun to be around and your gonna love your nails always.

sandra hernandez Best place !!! I am so happy to get my nails done by Alicia !!! She is the best and I always get compliments about how beautiful my nails look !!! Thank you !!!

M.G Corona Went in today with Nancy again, and she never disappoints one more time, like many before. I come out with my new and beautiful nails. Thank you, girl ....

Joanna I won’t go anywhere else. She has been doing my nails for a few years now. Her work is flawless!! I truly look forward to these appointments! Thank you Lynn!!!

Carmen Ive been coming here for about 2-3 years. Ive liked my nails every time, until this last time. For the guy that did my nails, lets say dip powder isnt his strong suit. *these pictures are 4 days after getting them done

sweet8pie • Job well done. Friendly staff. Expensive though. I did choose powder and some rhinestones for a whopping $60 bucks. 4th day my rhinestone fell off, I dont know how I wash dishes with dish gloves to protect my hands and nails so that kinda sucks.

Rachel Gonzaga I love how they took their time on doing my nails and they did the design exactly how I showed them in the picture on my phone

scarlet Tried a new place for my toes, but ended up with a toe infection :(. First time there, not my usual spot. the lady cut me two times on both my big toes and it honestly hurts to walk :/

Salma Verduzco So I made an appointment at 5:30 and they start letting in the people who came after me. I obviously didn’t like that I had to wait because I had made an appointment. The color options aren’t very broad but they’re okay. The price is very reasonable. The lady who did my nails was patient and did a decent job. I payed for a leg massage included in the package but she barely did anything. Then I got a different lady named Mai (Tim’s wife) and she did my acrylic nails, I let her experiment with my nails and she did an amazing job. They were very clean, which I liked. I would come here again. I liked mai’s work on acrylic nails.

Annie Mendoza David is the best! He is patient and very detailed! I love it here good service and very good prices! Chang is my pedicure guy! He’s so good and detailed and I love when my feet feel fresh. Heidi is so sweet and is also magnificent at her work

Valerie L. Every time I come here I am treated with the best customer service. I was very relaxed, so to the point I was sleeping in the chair, enjoying my pedicure. That the woman who was doing my nails, brought me a coffee. So sweet of her. I come here often and I am never disappointed.

Dionne Hicks I have been coming here for over 10 years. The salon is clean and all the staff are friendly. Heidi is my nail tech and she is so good. She makes my nails look natural and, I always get compliments on them .

katrina granillo Yvonne is a great nail artist. I’ve been getting my nails done here for quite some time. I’ve had manicures, pedicures and eyebrow waxing, and all the people here are great.

Jaimi Holland Friendly service. The nail techs were thorough and responsive. Clean shop and tons of gel color options. Will be a repeat customer for sure. Such great work. Today is my third visit. They do such a great job on my toes and the nails are perfection. I have not had one break and they stay beautiful between visits!

Kendall McCardle Im impressed everytime I come to this salon! Went for the bloody ombre stiletto look for Halloween and Vincent did amazing! My first time having stiletto nails and needed them short due to my work, Vincent made it happen and was so nice! This salon is clean, well staffed, and has really skilled techs. The atmosphere is also quite pleasant, they are always friendly and attentive as soon as I walk in to the moment I leave. I recommend! 5/5

Diane Duong Wendy is the best! Thank you co! A million stars!!! They are so very thorough, she shared that they have a TWO week guarantee for anything that happens to my gel nails she said to come back and they’ll fix it no problem. The peace of mind, reassurance they give the kindness they all give are priceless here. Thank you thank you thank you. I love my gel manicure I got all the colors I wanted! My nails are short for now since I’ve been busy and haven’t had a chance to get these bad boys done, but Wendy helped me feel amazing again and she did such a great great job!!! 10/10 recommend!!

Arbie Grace Fradejas Loveeee this place . Wendy always takes good care of me and my nails. I like how fast she works and how easily it is for her to copy the design I have in mind. Attached are photos of my beautiful birthday nails

Emily Calderon Great service and beautiful work! Went in to get a gel manicure French tip and I am pleased to say that I am very happy with the results. I highly recommend you to ask for Tammy #1, she was both delicate with my hands and very detailed with the French tips. Thank you Tammy! :)
