Top Best 9 Nail Salons in Temecula, Riverside (part 3)

lisa marugg Have been going here for years. Very accommodating. Highly recommend

Avianna Based on reviews I’ve read here I wouldn’t get acrylics done here (even though I don’t have any experience with their acrylics). However, when I went in to get a gel polish pedicure, they did the best job out of any place I’ve ever gone to, and I’ve had my nails done all over the world. The polish stayed on for MONTHS! All I had to do at home was fill in the part where new nail grew in without polish since I live far away and couldn’t go back for touch-ups. The tips never chipped!! And the price was pretty fair, too. The only things I would change about the place are the decor (which is just a personal preference) and offer more eco friendly options (like non-toxic water-based nail polishes for a one-day manicure, for example!). But their pedicure was so good that I’m definitely willing to overlook those things! I will go back!

E Smi Awful! I will never come back here again! My nails are rough, sloppy and hideous! I had a fill and pedicure and both are horrible! I explained my displeasure and all I received was $20 off. Now I have to live with this botch job for weeks! Never again! I regret not getting the name of the nail tech but I can point her out. She also took our payment. I told her what an awful job she did. Her apology was not sincere.

misty kent I’ve know Wendy and the older staff well over 14 years. They work hard to please their customers . I’ve always been treated with kindness and respect. The quality is always exceptional. Clean and sanitary. Prices are fair for the quality of work they preform.

Katherine W. Ive been 3 times for a dip powder manicure & gel polish pedicure. The pedicures have all been great. The first time for the dip was great, it lasted 4 weeks! The 2nd time for dip, it started lifting off after 5 days. The 3rd time it started lifting off after 1 week. They also dont have a lot of options for matching colors when it comes to matching gel and dip.

Kristen A I sent my daughter here to get a fill.And she had a couple broken nails.They charged her sixty dollars for the fill and the fill started lifting after six days. When I called them , they did not want to guarantee anything they said they only guarantee nails for 5 days! They said That their product is higher end from other nails salons and there is a high possibility that there product will not ahere well if ,already has product on them. I mentioned to them after calling that they should explain the option and the reasoning for a new set, which they failed to suggest or offer to my daughter because she had a budget. They should of explained this! And did not. My daughter has lost 3 nails and several others started to lift after a week. They did not offer any kind of compensation at all and did not care about reviews. I would avoid. The crazy thing is they said Is it would cost $65 for a new set and we paid $60 for a fill alone with a few broken nails. And $15 for soak off. I would have much rather preferred to spend the twenty dollars ensuring the nails would last minimum 3 weeks than waste my money on nails that didnt hold up. Poor customer service!

lareid529 Youve got a customer for life! Ive been coming here since February and I have worked with three nail techs here: Nicole, Sam, and Aby. They have all been great, my nails have grown out and they are beautiful! The thing I like most about the nail techs here is that they LISTEN. I am picky about my nails and I know how I like them to look, even if I dont know the professional terms. They give me what I want and their work is quality!

Rachael Jung This wasn’t my first time coming to this place, the other times I came I had an awesome experience. They offered me a drink, were very friendly. But today I took my daughter for her birthday to get her fingers and toes done and it was not a good experience. First I arrived 10 minutes early to our appointment and we didn’t get seen until 25 minutes after our appointment time. (We were never offered drinks and not even acknowledged until after the 25 minute wait) Then on top of that, when we did finally get seated, just complete silence from the nail tech the entire time. Then I asked her if she could take my daughters in grown out and she was all over the place with her answer, and I told her if not I’m just going to go somewhere else that will do it. Then she kept going on with the pedicure saying she would try. Then 20 minutes or so into the pedicure (when I couldn’t back out) she said she decided she couldn’t. I just let it go and my daughter finished her pedicure. Then we had to wait another 20 minutes after her pedi for them to call us over for her nails. When we finally sat at the nail bar, she said she was going to do a manicure on my daughter but I told her no because I had booked for a full set. And she said she was too young and she refused to do her nails. So I just paid for her toes and left. End of story It was 2 hours of her birthday waisted. And I won’t be returning.

Crisma Serna Abby is the best nail artist around and I’ve already booked my next appointment. Amazing establishment and so friendly. A girls nail salon for sure.

Aolani Valencia First visit here ! Love the pink vibes and both nail tech and pedicure tech did AMAZING!! Can’t wait to come back again

S Hamilton 30+ years of life I’ve never come across a nail tech like Amy, The way she is a perfectionist at what she does I was very impressed. Doing nails all day I know it probably is very tiring especially Sometimes when you get customers making unreasonable request. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she created something even better! I went in with my nails looking Very bad and walked out in shock of what she was able to transform, Beautiful nails! Getting nails done by Amy is worth every dollar, and I don’t mind being generous with tipping either She is worth it! The way that she builds the acrylic to your nail and Builds up a natural shape to the style and the quality was amazing! Then you sit there and you get a good personality/conversation and a few laughs. She’s a good lady!

Yaneth S One start is because of the young lady at the front desk.( She was a sweetheart). So i brought 3 foreign exchange student in, to get their nails done for Homecoming. This is their first time getting their nails done here period. The lady in the picture didnt want them talking at all and kept on telling my girls to be quiet. I asked if there was a problem and she said she couldnt do her job, and i said but youre talking to your coworkers in your language, i dont understand what the problem is?! The girls were being very respectful, they were not being loud at all and they werent moving or doing anything that would make her job hard, so i didnt understand why she was being rude like that. She kept on telling the girls to be quiet and that just really upset me. Obviously the girls had a bad taste of this salon thanks to this incident. We will NEVER come here again.

Barbara G Our first visit: My daughters gave them a photo of what they wanted on their nails and both ladies did very well at getting it correct. One young lady was very nice but cut her three times. The other lady did a great job but did not talk. I should have gotten their names so you could have chosen them or not choose them. Wish you luck on your visit.

E. Brown Very disappointed in the quality of my pedicure. The tech removed all of the polish after she finished, re-painted, and there is still polish all around the nails, on my skin and cuticles. This was the second chance, so I will not return a third time.

Ariana Hidalgo I love this nail salon! They are a hidden gem and their customer service and nail techs are outstanding. They are very reasonably priced. The salon is modern and clean very relaxing. It’s located in the Albertsons shopping center on the corner of the Panda Express. Tommy took me at 6:15pm without an appointment and did a full set and suggested ombré nails. They look so cute I love my nails and I will be returning and recommending this salon to everyone I know. Thank you Tommy!

Kari Lippard I love Craft Nails and spa! I usually ask for Tommy to do my nails. I get the dip powder because it keeps my nails healthy and long. He always does a great job and always fits me in with my busy schedule. There’s so many dip colors to choose from so I never get bored. They have a lot of good options for pedicures too. I’ve had many of the technicians do my pedicures and they always hold up to high quality work and ethic. Highly recommend!

RLW gaming Been going to Craft Nails for a year now and am always pleased with their services. Tommy did an ombré dip for me today and Amy gave me a pedicure. I like the powder applied thin and Tommy always accommodates. I also have an in grown toe nail and Amy spent extra time fixing my nail.

Cassandra Perkins Tommy always does the best job! I get the ombré dipping powder manicure. My nails are paper thin and I have grown to love dip manicures! My own nails actually grow long and look awesome every time I visit Craft nails.I love the pink and white look ombré, and Tommy adds a little glitter to them for me so that they sparkle. Highly recommend this salon! They have lots of options for spa pedicures as well. 10 out of 10!

Cindya Villicana My third time coming here. All the staff is friendly and quick service. Recently I was helped by Aniva and she left my nails perfect! Definitely will keep coming back.

Jim & Julie Vestal Wow! I’m so happy we did not go into the casino for our meal. My pad Thai was absolutely excellent! My husband’s noodle with chicken was also well prepared. We enjoyed our meal and the service so much. Please don’t miss out on this gem. The food is delicious and the service is excellent!

Donna MacLagan I was referred to Trisha. I come from Murrieta. I had a 4pm appointment for a pedicure and a fill. I waited 30 minutes at least. I had an awesome pedicure. Trisha took forever to see me. Told me I needed a new set. (1 mo ago I had a new set). I have had my nails done every 2-3 weeks for 30 yrs. I did not get a fill with powder. I got my nails sanded and buffed and she put gel on with white tips. I was charged $45 for this “fill”. I feel totally ripped off. She never cleaned under my nails. I left the salon at 7 pm. Three hours!!!. No one ever apologized for the wait nor thanked me for coming in. They cont to talk back and forth amongst themselves. I felt certain I was being laughed at. Beautiful salon. I’ll never return and I’ll never refer anyone else.

beatriz terry Walked in for a manicure, ladies that were working did not acknowledge me, after a few mins one lady greeted me from afar, asked what my needs were ,she then turned around said something in her language to another employee. Both employees looked at me and that was it. Nobody said anything further, after standing there for several mins without any further acknowledgment I walked out. Disappointed to say the least

Yoli Castro I’d give 0 stars the small Asian lady with short black hair and glasses rushed my set didn’t properly clean my nails before the set placed the nails crooked even after I pointed it out she said “I can fix” once it was finished it was horrible the were very uneven one had longer than the other very round no product on one whole side she redid them and there was really no saving them straight disappointed can’t speak for every one else who works there on their work but she was very rough made me bleed on 2 fingers and that was before I had her redo the nails. Just terrible . I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Betsey Haren I made an appointment the day before. I arrived, and the service was wonderful. I appreciate the clarity to choose the type of mani/pedi care. The staff was supportive and I left with beautiful nails on fingers and toes! I would recommend to family and friends. It is walkable from Pechanga.

Amanda My recent visit to this nail salon left me feeling disappointed and uncomfortable. I came in hoping for a professional and welcoming experience, but from the moment I walked in, it was clear that wasn’t going to happen. One of the staff members was incredibly rude and seemed to go out of her way to be unkind. She stood there watching us without greeting me, which already felt awkward, and her demeanor made me feel unwelcome despite my effort to be polite, friendly, and professional. I’m not someone who looks for trouble, and I always try to approach situations with kindness and understanding. However, it seemed like this staff member was looking for a reason to pick a fight, which created an unnecessarily hostile environment. That’s not what anyone wants when they’re paying for a service and looking to unwind. I will say there was one man working there who answered my questions thoroughly and treated me with respect, and I really appreciated his professionalism. It’s a shame that his efforts were overshadowed by the unkind behavior of his colleague. Overall, this experience was disappointing. Customer service and basic courtesy are so important in creating a welcoming environment, and unfortunately, that was lacking here. I hope this feedback encourages the team to reevaluate how they treat customers moving forward.

Lauren Ken and Victoria created this gorgeous set! I have been coming here for years and everyone is always so kind and their attention to detail is SO much appreciated.

Rebecca Ford I tried Best City Nails for the first time tonight and Ann was my girl. She did a Great job! I will definitely be coming back for a fill. Thanks Ann for a job well done :)

KB MUST READ!!! Very disappointed with the quality and service I got from Ken; not to mention the price! On Friday June 25, I came in to get a full set with Ken. I showed him a picture of what I wanted (see picture) he said it would be $65. I asked him if he had time and he said yes. From the beginning he was rushing me and when I would ask him a question (while doing my nails) about the style, shape, color, or anything he would say “I don’t know, you decide, I don’t have time”. I tried been friendly with him, smile, and be kind but inside I was feeling bad because of how he was acting with me. He even got upset when I told him 2 of the nails ( on each hand) needed to be matte. He saw the picture so he should’ve known that they were matte nail polish. The art work looked like a kindergarten did it but he was charging $65 for it? See pictures below. I spoke to the manager, Kevin that day and he had another girl fix the art on the matte nails. See pictures below. Honestly, I felt horrible telling the manager and even writing this review BUT if you’re gonna charge that much GIVE QUALITY WORK. The shape of the nails was poorly and quality some of the worst I’ve ever gotten. You can see in the pictures. One of the nails broke that night, the pinky, I glued it back, and the other one broke yesterday when taking off my watch! That’s insane. This morning I called, K asked for Kevin and the lady said he wasn’t there. I told her what happened and that I thought Ken needed to fix it. She said “you come in, you get charge again, it’s not his fault your nails broke!” Excuse me??? It is when you do poor work, don’t add enough acrylic as you can see in the pictures, and still have the audacity to charge that much. At the end I ended up paying $75 and 3 hrs of my time. Extremely disappointed.

Britney Nguyen Super cute! Love my autumn inspired orange and blue themed nails. The interior is relaxing and clean as well.

Jazmyne Bosley I came in and asked for a polish change on my toes and manicure for my nails. I did not get a manicure, she removed my gel and told me to wash my hands. Then asked to be paid. When I inquired about the manicure she sent me to someone else who proceeded to paint my nails clear. I was told 20 dollars and then 35 dollars. Based on the pricing in the book polish change for toes and removing gel on hands is not 35. My nails look horrendous. Never again.

BARBARA rivera Worse place ever! ! I went for a color change n the lady said it looks like I need a fill I said ok what ever you think is best please go ahead. She only filled the back part I don’t do nails but I know that the side crack n need filling to but she didn’t even do them also after she filled my nails she got a file n filed them then told me to wash my hands didn’t even smooth my nails out I told but she ignored me n started to polish them . As she was polishing them I noticed the nail polish was too think n old n I told her n she dismissed what I was saying n kept doing her job but as o told her it was old the polish wrinkled up n I showed her n showed her coworkers n the started talking to her in their language instead of removing the police with the machine she got a file n filed some of the polish off n put more polish on top , they kept speaking their language which I found very rude. I got up so upset. I told her to remove the polish and she wouldn’t so instead I just let her finish so I can leave. I paid her what she requested but I left no tip I have never in my life never not Tip.. . Tomorrow I will go somewhere to get my nails fixed they are so bumpy not smooth at all . . So wrong they knew my nails looked bad n the lady stood at the dot n said U Pay 35.00 ! So So Wrong

Shauntay Ward New to Temecula and was having a hard time finding a new shop. Found it! I’ve been here a few times and always have excellent service. Today, sadly I messed up my pedicure as soon as I got home. I returned to the shop and Joanne took care of it right away. My daughter and I both love this shop and look forward to returning. Thank you!!!!

Mercedes Perez Absolutely horrible job. Still had to pay 35$ after being cut multiple times and missing paint on my nails along with bubbles. I would’ve definitely offered this set for free due to all the cuts. Extremely disappointed will try Joann next to see if it’s better service.

Berenice Ramos Best pedicure ever but really bad acrylic nails, I have been in this place many times but this was the last time. The lady who made my pedicure was super nice and she actually care and was very detailed but another lady made my acrylic nails and you can tell by the pictures how far they are to being even good. Besides It was $218 for 2 full sets and 1 pedicure, say what??? They gave me a “discount” so ended paying $200 not fair at all! I won’t ever recommend this place!

Martina Soto Made an appointment and still waited upon arrival. Which is fine I get youre busy but then during my pedicure all I received was cuticle push back and cuticle cut....no cutting my nails shorter, no filing my nails, no buffing my nails, nothing! I thought maybe she does things in a different order. Then she was ready to paint. I had to ask her to cut my nails. Then she was so busy doing other things I just put my own shoes on. Done from beginning to end on approximately 15 minutes. I would not recommend this place if you want a quality pedicure.

Jeannie Wright Above average manicurists. They take their time and do a great job. Expensive as all the rest. $100 for fill and pedicure but worth it.

Jordan Derham Love these ladies! Randomly came in here on my day off and have been coming for over a year now. They really listen to what you are asking for and take their time to make your nails look great. Prices are pretty average around $100 for a fill, but you pay for quality!!
