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

R Ochoa Very friendly owners & nail techs. They try to accommodate everyone & can be busy because they are very good. They are fast & efficient. The atmosphere is nice & relaxed with nice music playing. Very clean & comfortable.

Melanie Martinez I absolutely loved the work that Bobby did on my nails and left extremely satisfied! He did such a clean job, I definitely recommend to get your nails done with Bobby! The service for walk-ins was also very fast.

Paige Ashcroft I visited this nail salon as a walk-in today. Ty did my nails and he was fantastic! Very personable and extremely fast. I love my nails!

Donna - California Girl Slots The nicest group, professional, beautiful decor. I went through several salons before locating Glossy Nails by using a Google search. Today was my fifth visit. My pedicure is the absolute best, soothing, relaxing. My Nails are done consistent each and every visit perfect shape is perfect and cuticle removal exceptional, clean up afterwards you can’t beat it. My pedicures are done by Diana. She is so pleasant and a true professional. My nails are done by Holly. You cannot ask for better!

Kendra Nichols Original pictures are from 2 days after getting a $52 gel manicure. As you can see theyre already lifting. Clear coat was all over the skin. The guy that did them & the manager tried to gas light me into saying they were ok. I requested someone else to fix them and it took her 20 minutes to clean up his mess. The gel nails were lumpy & wavy. The absolute worst gel manicure Ive ever received. Didnt even do a hand massage. My 10yo niece does better than this guy. Edit- 6 days later: every single nail has gel lifting & ripping out hair or pulling fabric thread from my wool tee. I almost got a pedi too, so glad I didnt. They also were not patient when I was looking at the prices trying to figure out what mani/pedi package I wanted. They kept asking what I wanted & told me to sit down no less than 4 times while I was looking at the prices at the front desk. Then they tried to tell me just to get one of the most expensive packages available which included things I did not need. I do not recommend this place nor will I ever back

Pamela Crook Today my husband treated me to a deluxe pedicure. Fortunately I was paired with a lovely Lady by the name of Diane that gave me the best pedicure I’ve ever had in a very long time. She paid so much attention to my cuticles and calluses which were in horrible shape! Next time I’m in the area I will be asking for her guaranteed!

YU YU Excellent customer service!!! Ivy did exactly what I requested. I came here because it’s close to work but especially because of their previous reviews & follow-up. That showed me you’re not just another dollar bill walking in the door. I get dip on my natural nails & I was so happy with the quality of work done here. The staff were very hospitable offering me a beverage. They are working on improving the salon and their vision is to have a tea & drink bar. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for customers. I highly recommend this nail salon for its cleanliness, quality of work, & great customer service!

Rachel Ruiz I’ve seen Megan twice now for the Gel X nails both a full set and fill and both times super happy with the results. She even offered me and my friend drinks!!

Jackie Wells Stopped back after months and WOW have things changed. Completely upgraded and staffed. Friendly service, no wait on a Friday! Even better and the pricing was fair. aesthetically pleasing. I came in for a pedicure but Ill definitely be in for a full set once Im cleared from surgery on my hands.

YeteBoo "I highly recommend this nail salon! I moved to the desert 5 months ago and have tried several places, but this one stands out as the best. The owners are incredibly sweet and caring, and they actually deliver exactly what you ask for when it comes to nail designs. I absolutely love the Valentine’s Day nails Hannah did for me—so cute and exactly what I wanted!"

Eryne Ordel We were thrilled to find Vu and Hannah at The Nail Gallery. They do hard gel properly. Are attentive to cuticles, and polish application. Have a huge assortment of colours and are both really nice. They are knowledgeable and throughout. Great parking too. Excited to try their pedicure. 10/10!!

Breanne Russell When I decided that my mom splurge would be to have my nails done regularly, I went to a salon near my home, but was sadly disappointed with the outcome. With research I came across the salon Vu and Hannah worked in and booked an appointment. Needless to say it has now been a year and a half since I have been seeing them. Vu is extremely artistic. I can share my inspiration and he adds a flare of his own to each set of nails he paints. Hannah has a sweet demeanor and a gentle touch to her pedicures. Their work does last in between appointments as I am very busy and hard on my hands and feet. Here are two examples, but there are many more to draw from!

Athena Greer I’ve been getting my hands and feet done with Glendaly for well over 15 years. She is incredibly talent with her work. She always makes sure she is precise with every service I get with her. She has amazing at nail art . My hands and feet always look amazing. She keeps her suite immaculately clean. I highly recommend her for all your nail care needs.

Dr. George E. Vasquez Jr. 10/23/2024 Update - Check out Glendalys Halloween design on my toes - she is so talented and did a beautiful and fun job! My fingernails were done by Brianna (of Beauty with Brianna in Moreno Valley) and she killed it! Together, my hands and feet are ready for Halloween! Enjoy! Clarification - the fingernail photos that I posted today (10/17/2024) were done by Beauty with Briana in Moreno Valley; Google Maps wouldnt allow me to post these photos at my home, so I chose the last nail salon that I visited. That being said, Glendaly does have the skill set to do nails like this (per my conversation with her), so check her out! Ill be seeing Glendaly again next week for my next pedicure, so stay tuned for more amazing work by her! I had my first gel pedicure here on Wednesday and Glendaly was amazing! Not only is her space calming, clean, and uplifting, her skill set is superb and her options (for both manicures and pedicures) are fantastic! She is a great conversationalist and communicates with one throughout the process! I am including a couple of photos of my right foot because the left one had a damaged big toe nail that is healing and isnt quite camera-ready (that being said, her work made it look presentable, which I appreciated). Enjoy the photos and check Glendaly out! I finally found my pedicurist for the long-haul!

Heather Lebeda I’ve always had trouble growing my nails out, they were brittle and would always break when i thought i had finally got them to my ideal length. I’ve been consistently going to Glendaly for almost a year now and my nails have maintained their length and strength. I work where my hands are always looked at and I’m consistently complimented on not only how they look but of course, their natural length! I usually get a gelcrylic manicure, but i have also gotten acrylics and when removing those my nails were not severely damaged. Glendaly is very professional, sweet and a great conversationalist. I highly recommend seeing her before anyone else in the low desert.

Terra Bingham I recently went here with my parents. They did an amazing job! I love my gel manicure!

Marco Medina I fully without doubt recommend this place. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Let me just say my wife is super picky when it comes to her nails and every salon she visited they had done a bad job. We decided to try AFTER GLOW and we were not disappointed. My wife loves her nails and finally can say we found the right place. Thank you Shiann for doing my wife’s birthday nails. She loves them.

Valerie Lara Wouldn’t come here again. I called over the phone asking if they could do my nail inspo and they said yes. When I arrived I showed the lady whom I spoke to over the phone and she told me no they can’t do that. Waste of time! She didn’t bother asking the other nail techs if they could do my design she just said no. Please don’t tell a customer yes then waste their time in person.

Tsubasa Sey (night-class) Really nice place, the ladies were great. The nails look pretty good. The massage was also lovely. Just got a manicure

Carla Weil Male Manicurist Peter was no good. Didn’t give me the shape I requested and didn’t touch my cuticles, which are dry and growing over nails. Left some nails jagged so I’ll need to refile when I get home.

Jordan Hancock My nails were in very bad shape, very broken and very cracked deep down in the nail bed. My nail tech Tracy was the most gentle person I could have trusted to help me. Completely pain free and she listened to everything I asked. She was patient with me and paid great attention to detail. She worked with me to get the nails I desired that would help them grow again without causing future damage to my already fragile nails. If you are in pain and need someone to help you desperately, look no further. 10/10 would highly recommend. Thank you Tracy!

Nohemi Lugo Used to love it until my nail girl moved. I kept trying it out but the last few times I went my ingrown toe nail wasn’t taken out right only damaged more and the very last time I went the nail polished was peeling the very next day.

Lisa Davenport Julie, Cindy, and the team have been taking care of my paws for a couple years now and I just LOVE them. Its easy to get in and they are skilled and professional. Vince is an added bonus! Thank you CT!

Claire Zhang My masseuse Jerry did a great job today! I left feeling very relaxed. Would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Palm Springs.

Lorena Maldonado Great massage! Such a cute spot. Had an amazing massage, both me and my daughter had such a great time here.

jeff ofelt Simon is amazing, he was excellent at finding all those spots that need attention. He had such wonderful energy and was very communicative with me. I will totally go back to Simon!

Jacklynn Schultz Vu and Hannah are THE BEST!!!!! They recreate any photo I bring them and make my nails look amazing! Also- they last FOREVER! No chipping, no breaking just fabulous nails all the time. When I set a new appointment, I don’t go in because I need to, I go in because I WANT TO! It’s enjoyable for me to be able to ask them to put a fun design on my nails. They are both so nice and work great as a husband and wife team!!!! Thank you Vu and Hannah! See you in 3 weeks!!! Also- Vu has great recommendations for new ways to maintain your nails rather than the old school gel!! Go to them for fun designs, great service and to try something new!

Ji-ya Bridges-Smith Had a great experience here as a 1st time client. Came in with my nails in my pockets and left with my hands displayed proudly. They are still gorgeous as ever even after 2 1/2 days. Thanks Vu.

Melissa Torres Vu and Hannah do amazing work! Very professional and friendly. I always leave feeling refreshed and so happy with my nails and pedicure. You will not be disappointed.

Courtney Marley Horrible experience and incredibly upset considering I’ve always had good service here. Today, I had a new person doing my manicure and I asked for a full set which I always do. I typically get my nails shorter in length due to working in the hospital but today, the nail person proceeded to file them down all the way to my skin so there was absolutely no more nail left. She even began taking off my skin as there was no more nail left to file. Not sure why I paid for a tip when the entire tip was then removed. It’s incredibly disappointing given the price charged. The price of the same services also varies by $10ish or more dollars every visit I’ve noticed. Will not be returning.

Sheera I have a really great experience here today with the sisters, Julie and Aurea (might have gotten her name wrong). But both so nice, detailed, clean, and didn’t rush me at all. Friendly staff. These are just some things I look for. I love it. Very impressed and I highly recommend.

Joyce Xavier This “rush-through” salon caters to very elderly clientele who can’t see anything! So sad. Please don’t waste your hard earned money here! I went in and they rushed me through for a mani/pedi in 45 mins. Not a good experience at all. Difficult to believe as they were very slow on this particular Weds. afternoon. “David” drilled my long, natural nails and told me they were acrylics! They were just gel polished. He drilled hard and hurt my nail beds. Tiffany, who did my pedicure, left dead skin around my cuticles and polish on my cuticles. Another push-them-through desert salon. Never again! I regret the $100 they charged me.

Domenica Herrick Great service, stopped in while I was visiting from out of town.

Shiela C Have had many manicures and pedicures. And their service is good. However the owner Nina needs an attitude adjustment. She does not u deter and customer service. Called this am - no answer so thought I would take a chance of dropping in. Asked if I could get a quick manicure. She asked me how quick as there are only 3 of them and all busy. Her attitude is beyond belief of anyone that owns a business with customers. She was defensive and down right rude. Last time I will go here. Convenient but not worth the attitude.

Sara Chavez I have been going here for years and Tony is the best. He always takes good care of me. I have really long nails and it takes 2 sometimes 3 hours to do my nails. I never feel rushed and my nails and toes always look great. Thank you Tony!!!

Jennifer Martinez If I could leave zero stars I would. The service was horrible. We got 2 pedicures. The water starts off cold, asked for warmer water, semi fixed to lukewarm… that’s okay. I told the nail tech to keep my nails straight across to file/clip if needed to make even. Pedicure starts she barely pushes my cuticles back, hardly any clean up, she clips the SIDES of my nails which should never be cut! That creates a pincher nail. Clips my regrowth of my nail that broke off after hitting it. (the nail was not dead it was healthy regrowth) I would’ve appreciated if my appointment was longer than 13 minutes, more patience and focus. I ended up filing my nails evenly at home. The other nail tech respectfully should no longer be giving service. Experience was 10/10 horrible gloopy polish, toe nails all uneven not even straight or curved. My friends toe nails were completely cut from the sides to near triangle shape which is so wrong! I wouldn’t even be able to express what that was! I’m aware of language barriers but there should be some kind of second hand help if the business owners know that’s the case. One should ask for assistance before proceeding without clearly knowing what a customer wants. I expressed our complaints, it’s honestly pointless at that point you cant regrow your nails at that moment. Instead of offering a discount for such a horrible experience she quickly scanned the card and asked my friend to sit so she can fix. My friend ask to take off the polish she would fix the rest herself at home. She was over it. The lady tries fixing the mistakes atleast she was able to get them semi straight as it could be since they were now triangle shape. (My friend also went home to fix her own nails) My friend told her more than 3x she didn’t want polish, yet she still proceeded to paint them. After paying for a service, nobody should be going home to fix their entire pedicure. Long story short find the next salon or better off saving your money from here.

Vargas Jacqueline (Speedii) The people are so nice. The were so busy when I was there and that shows how good they are. I also got a pedicure and a full set. The place is clean and super cute. My full set is 2 weeks old in my photo and it still looks good.

Nohemi Lugo Used to come here with my mom but the last two times they told us it would be a 15 min wait, after 30 minutes we decided to leave. My moms nails wouldn’t be cut they would leave them long

Andrew Samson This is a "no frills" salon so if youre accustomed to resort spas (as we are) then you might raise an eyebrow upon entering. But once you get past the first impressions its all about what you came here for: The massage. Our 90 minute version did not follow the standard, ever-predictable, cookie-cutter format weve mostly experienced. The therapist paid plenty of attention to areas often skipped by other spas, and revisited several areas more than once. This made the whole experience seem completely unrushed.

余永琦 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Beautiful Spa, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with calming scents and soothing music that instantly transported me to a state of relaxation. The ambiance is immaculate – serene, clean, and thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful retreat from the outside world. The staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive, making sure every aspect of my visit was tailored to my needs. I opted for a full-body massage and a facial, and both treatments exceeded my expectations. The massage therapist had an intuitive touch, expertly relieving tension in areas I didn’t even realize were holding stress. The facial left my skin glowing and refreshed, using high-quality products that felt luxurious without being overwhelming. What truly sets Beautiful Spa apart is the attention to detail. From the plush robes and complimentary herbal teas to the soft lighting and personalized care, every element contributes to an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and indulge in a little self-care, I highly recommend Beautiful Spa. Whether for a solo retreat or a pampering day with friends, it’s the perfect escape. I can’t wait to return!

Violet Tashchyan The place looks beat down and I felt it wasn’t sanitary. I got a 60 min message and honestly, it wasn’t the best. Maybe bc as soon as I got there I wanted to run away but I didn’t bc I had a meeting later and that was the only place I was stuck with to get a message. Walls need to be painted, new decor, food smell and so much more. Eww I like a targeted deep tissue message and I got Swedish stocks instead . Also, they ask you over and over again for a tip on a service you didn’t enjoy at a place which feels like a health hazard.

Whittany Gibson Lyly is amazing. Ive searched everywhere to find someone to do a meticulous job on my nails with little success. She is fast while being very efficient. I get regular acrylic fills, and shes very flexible with getting me in her schedule when I need an appointment. I highly recommend Lyly!

Stephanie Hernandez Pretty good. My color required 3 coats so I waited longer to dry. My polished smudged right away. Not exactly anyone’s fault.

L D I love this salon! They have a huge selection of colors and offer a variety of services to meet every needs! All of the technicians are very friendly and do high quality work, you cant go wrong no matter who you choose. They always seem to be having a great time and create a pleasurable atmosphere for their customers. Mai does my manicure and pedicure, she is the best in the coachella valley! Once you come to this salon once, you will never go anywhere else again!
