Susie Mabie Clean bright and beautiful! A great location. All operators manicures and pedicures are phenomenal! You won’t be disappointed. I never am. And I go nowhere else. Thank you Holly for opening up a second location even closer to where I live.

Priscilla Vasquez Doug is great and fast! The nail quality allows me to keep my nails in tip tip shape for weeks. The first time was great and very professional so I just came back and will be a repeat customer for sure. The shop is clean and vibrant and everyone is very friendly.

Ivy Webb I had an amazing experience at Vivid Nails and Spa, located at 9295 Magnolia Ave Ste 104 in Riverside. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. The salon is clean, well-maintained, and has a calm ambiance that made me feel comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring I was happy with every step of the process. Doug and Aimee, in particular, were incredibly skilled and meticulous in their work, creating beautiful nail designs that exceeded my expectations. They took the time to understand what I wanted and paid close attention to detail, which I really appreciated. The prices are reasonable for the quality of service, and I loved that they accept walk-ins while still making every customer feel prioritized. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for quality nail care and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be back!

Keana Nolen The was a great experience. They treat you like you’re VIP. Andy did my pedicure and it was more than I expected. Brian did my manicure and he was great as well. Doug is also great. Do not hesitate with going. Leylah and Aimee they are the best, they take the time to explain the service you’re going to receive. Everyone was very friendly and pleasant.

Christine Peters Been going to Kelly for almost 5 years now. She is the best!! Loves to try new designs and different things! She is a perfectionist and my nails are always looking beautiful. I get so many compliments!

dominique dennis I have been going to K Nails and Spa Studio for over 5 years and I will never switch and go some where else. I am very hard on my nails and if I mess one up I will text Kelly and she does her best to fit me in to fix it. She takes pride in her work not only to top it off that she has soooooo many colors to pick from and I love that. She is always willing to try new things you have to show her and she will get it done. I visited The Spa in Canyon Crest and got my nails in her new spot and It was such a beautiful experience. I loved that when I went it felt so homie and I was able to relax. I had just got off from working a night shift and it felt so good to come into a clean/quiet place and get my services done. She is very understanding and let me sleep while getting my services done. I will continue to see Kelly for my nail appointments. You can text her or even messages her on instagram @Nails_by_kelly Look at instagram to see her work.

Kendra Knox Kelly is awesome she always does perfect work I been going to her for years. Her quality of work is always perfection. She never rushes you and always make you feel welcome

Belinda Vitrano Kelly is the best there is. Been going to Kelly for probably 8 or so years now. Started out just doing my pedicures and eventually decided to have her do my manicures as well. Wouldn’t go to anyone else. Definitely worth going to. ❤️

Alondra Ponce Took my little sister and I to this amazing place. They were both super friendly and sweet to my little sister. They did an amazing job and we’re happy with our nails !

Nathalie Menjivar This was my first time going to the nail salon in years and can I just say Lucy and John were so welcoming. Lucy did my nails and she is very talented. I wanted something simple and she delivered. I also got a pedicure and those massage chairs are amazing. Overall I was very pleased with my results and overall experience. Thank you.

marly I’ve come here twice and i absolutely love it! They’re so sweet and so gentle with my hands. Both times i’ve come to get my nails done they always made sure to do them exactly how the inspo picture looked. Love this place and cant wait to come back!! ❤️

Jessica Perry I decided to give The Nail Studio a try and Im so happy that I did. From the moment I walked in they created me by name because I made an appointment over the phone. John, Lucy and Nini are so nice and take great care of their customers. They had wonderful customer service and the skills to match. Best pedicure that I have had in a very long time.

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.

Gabbie C I went here for the first time recently, and Jackie was amazing! I didn’t have an appointment, but she managed to fit me in toward the end of the work day. The environment is so nice and clean. She did exactly what I requested for my birthday nails. I highly recommend checking this salon out. I’ll be back!

Belinda Martinez I went in with a fill needed and got a beautiful set the nails I had on needed reshaping and filling my nail technician was Tanya shes great and does a professional job. Im happy with my new nails and she fixed the uneven shape and Im coming back i found my new nail shop.

Jacky Gutierrez Been coming here for a while for lashes, Timothy always leaves my lashes looking amazing whenever I come! However, I came in today for a manicure before my engagement pics, seriously LOVED the way Tia left my nails. She really listened to me and saw my vision, so happy with the results!

Hannah Kilfoyle Came to get lash lifts with me and my kid sister while I was visiting. She had never had one before. Ive had many. Never one this bad. The 2 stars are for getting us in next day on short notice. Its too bad because this place seemed reputable, nice location and looks decent inside. We arrived 10 minutes early. The lash artist wasnt there on time so we needed to go walk around for a few minutes. This was not a huge deal as long as the final result was good. But it wasnt, so this was worth noting also. The artist seemed rushed, perhaps this was to fit us into her day but I would rather been told no one was available because I left with definitely the worst lift Ive ever had. Theres glue all over my eyelids that she didnt clean off. My photos are actually after getting a substantial amount off on my way home. My eyelashes are so crunchy right now. And yet somehow the tips of them didnt get dyed properly for how overprocessed they feel. Genuinely concerned theyre just gonna break off later so Ill have to talk to my usual girl to see what she suggests to salvage. In addition, they are super clumped together which, who knew that could happen with lash lift? The artist rushed out the front door before we had even finished paying and tipping her which sort of confirmed my idea that she was rushed or perhaps concerned Id say something. Idk the sylists name. All we were told was no water 24h after the lift. She spoke to us very little. Gave no care instructions or spoolies (which again its fine, Ive done this many times) but just not what most people should experience if its your first lash lift. Ultimately Im not local to Riverside it was more something for my kid sister who fortunately wont notice how bad it was. But I cant recommend anyone who wants a good lash lift to come here if this is their only tech. It sounded like the nail salon portion was popping off and doing well so maybe thats more their expertise. I still of course paid and tipped because people got bills to pay but just not the place for lash lifts Im afraid. Edit day 2 - Moving this to 1 star after getting another look after 24h and getting them wet. Lots of visible dye was coming off after washing. Looks so much worse than my natural lashes Im actually impressed like how do you even make my lashes go an opposite direction on one eye? Just not dyed at all? Just looks like normal eyelashes that maybe I slept on weird except i didnt. Ugh. What a waste of time and money.

Lydia Ramirez This was my first visit to the salon and I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional manicure and pedicure services I received. The attending staff today demonstrated remarkable kindness and courtesy. Despite being fully booked with clients, they consistently updated me on the wait time, showcasing their dedication to customer satisfaction. Upon completing their tasks, they diligently maintained the salons cleanliness and organization. The decor was impeccably clean and inviting.

Michelle Tahir I recently had my nails done by Ceci, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She perfectly shaped and colored my nails exactly as I requested. Her attention to detail and professionalism are truly commendable. I highly recommend Ceci for anyone seeking exceptional nail services.

Brandy My sister and I went to this nail salon today for the first time and I really want to say that we both we’re so very pleased with the beautiful work this salon does, I had a gentleman by the name of John and my sister had Amber and we couldn’t be happier ❤️ here’s pictures of the beautiful job they did I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great place to go and the best prices in town go here you won’t be disappointed.

Abbi Ruzicka My best friend and I came in to get our nails done before a trip and they came out amazing! I got a gel mani and pedi, and I felt that it was very through and looked great after. This was our first time at this salon but everyone was extremely kind, and the prices were great, I will definitely be coming back!

Shannon Smith I had a horrible experience trust me you pay for what you get. on top of being rudely handled after getting my skin shredded and rushed out the door like I stole something day number two redness no deodorant never go here nails last for a week and they will rip your skin apart and nothing to treat it!

Edith Engelauf Good price, nice technicians. Just a couple of things, like, I dont believe my technician did the tips of my nails fully nor the sides of my nails entirely. They look pretty good from the front. Also, instead of using some kind of tool to clean up underneath my nails after the acrylic powder was added, she used her own fingers to do it. Just a bit odd.

Maggie Colombo I came in last Friday to get a gel full set manicure and a gel pedicure. John did my nails, and made them thin, which I love! I wish I could remember the woman who did my feet though, but she was super awesome as well! Will definitely be coming back!

Stephany Borja The whole staff is always so nice and understanding. They also try their best to squeeze you in. I had Diana and she did so great! Professional and does amazing detailed work

Latisha Went here for the first time to get my neices natural nails done in a French manicure with a heart design. They were all very nice especially the lady that did my nieces nails. She has a great personality which Ive never experienced at a nail shop. She was excellent and so skilled in her craft. To be honest Ive never seen anything like it her nails were perfect my niece loves them and is so excited to show her friends. Thank you and nails.

Katie Tucker I love getting my nails done here! Best salon I’ve found in the area. Always efficient and my nails look amazing after

Amber McPartland First time coming here and will definitely be back. I made an appointment for 4 people and they did a great job pretty quickly and were very friendly

Pelumi Olaleye First time visiting. I scheduled our appointments a day before. When we arrived, the staff said hello and asked me what color I wanted for ny pedicure. They served us water and listened to what we wanted done to our nails. Wonderful, relaxing and clean environment. Bathroom was spotless! Overall a wonderful experience! I highly recommend.

PAULA TARRANT Service was amazing. Did not take long at all. Kelly and Tina was amazing everything was just how I wanted them. I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this nail & spa

Keishell Williams I had an amazing experience at this nail shop. Everyone was very welcoming and super attentive. Wendy did my full set and pedicure and she did an amazing job like always. I appreciate her superb customer service and attention to detail. I enjoyed my morning spent being pampered.

Reyna Elizabeth Fonseca Love this place! Wish that I came here sooner. Took me months to find a decent place here in Riverside. I just moved here and this place is the best in the area. Polite and friendly staff. And the quality of the work is great. I love my nails! They are gorgeous!

Deja Clothing It’s been about a year since I’ve been here, and they didn’t miss a beat today with my appointment. They remembered my nail shape and pedicure preference. They really make you feel like family here. You’re not just another appointment. I absolutely love everyone here, from Jay, to Brittany, to Hannah Banana, to Kelly and the rest of the techs. I would recommend them over and over again.

Gina R Zaragosa-Gaor This is my favorite nail shop. Ive been here 3 times and always leave very happy. They are very good at doing nails and pedicures. Nikki is my nail tech. She is very good beautiful work. And Tammy was so attentive to my feet I could fall asleep through the whole picture shes so gentle and good at her work. Love this nail shop. You ladies are awesome!

Annette Dwyer Loved it! Their hours have changed, though, and now close at 6 pm, not 7 pm. I got there at 5:40 pm and they still took me. They did great work on my manicure (Hannah) and pedicure (Nicky -sp?) I was definitely overdue as its been months since Ive been to a nail salon because I cannot find one I like. This was my first time visiting Bella Nails, and I will be going back there next time.

Natalie Mata I want to thank Brittany, Jayden, Hannah for giving me the best treatment today. Within 2 hours I had my nails and feet taken care of for a bridal shower tomorrow, and right now I couldn’t wait to go out so I am currently at a brewery waiting on my next drink but I love how my nails and feet feel ! No cuts nothing stuck on my skin . The pedicure chair had a massager , my back even feels better ;)

YP Rancho V Nails is my new favorite place. I have had fills and pedicures several times with Jaime. She is very nice and I like her work. Prices are reasonable and you can pay with Zelle so no additional fees. Thumbs up !

Jackie Blodgett Made an appointment the day of and took me right in. When I arrived, she was ready for me. Very fast and professional. The hot stone message was also a plus. Found my new pedicure spot!

Emily Anderson Was visiting family in town and need to get my nails done. Loved my nails! Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Jess Nguyen the service was amazing!! they were able to do my nails just like the picture referenced. highly recommend coming here!!

Mia Licano My first visit i was amazed at such great prices and service. I choose the small location based off reviews. Unfortunately on my 2nd visit I was pretty disappointed. Thought my nail tech did an incredible job. I felt like they manipulated their prices. I was expecting the same price since what I had was about the same. But they charged me 40 more than I expected. They reasoning "we gave you a discount". I suggested please let me know this in advance so I am aware why my price was incredible. I was caught off gaurd and disappointed. I still gave a fair tip. But whether Ill return. I dont know. Inconsistency in pricing and not clear pricing on packages makes me feel like they can manipulate it in the future. Suggestion. Make it clear on your packages and pricing list. Besides that my nail tech did a great job. The 1st time I went my nail tech was fast. In and out.

Viviana Codiz Honestly Im hella picky and they did an amazing job!!! This cat eye is to obsess over. The pictures dont so justice!!! Such great service!!!!

Crystal Sandoval First time there. Great experience and great customer service! Kate did my manicure with builder gel and I loved it! She did a great job

Sam Holt Chloe was amazing! Came in on her day off just to help out and I was lucky to get her on my first visit. Prices are great and the atmosphere is incredible!

Meridith Bennett I loved my new nails! Amy did a fabulous job! The bow and charm made me smile!

Rhonda Mankin Amy Did such a wonderful job on my nails . I always look forward to my appointment with her. I recommend you book in advance because shes very busy. And her Art is just amazing. KC Nails is the best. Very friendly and welcoming place.

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.

Diana Macias-Terriquez My technician Sarah, always does an amazing job and ensures my nails look perfect for weeks after each appointment. Highly recommend for anyone seeking high-quality manicures and pedicures in a welcoming atmosphere!

Tiffany Robitzer Love my experience everything with VIP nails and lashes, staff is friendly and work to helpful when choosing nail design. Nails always look perfect! Sarah is my go to for manicures!

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

Venus Nuckolls Awesome, Melissa did a very good job on manicure and pedicure. I will be back again soon.

Veronica Alvarez I been coming here for about 3 years now, Melissa and Kim are wonderful. They are so welcoming and make you feel at home. My gel pedicure still looks great after 4 weeks.

Rica Kim was really friendly and made me feel really comfortable it was my first time here and I will definitely be returning. Thank you kim❤️

Astro Girl Highly unsanitary! The lady literally tried using the same file on me and the lady before me! So gross. The prepping of the pedicure was horrible. I had gel on my toes and she used clippers to peel it off damaging my nail! 2/10 pedicure. Posh nails on magnolia is the way to go. Never trying somewhere new again !

Rebecca Garcia Did a good job. They try to force you to get an expensive pedicure by showing you a separate menu starting at 23 dollars. But actually the pedicure costs 17 dollars. I feel they also over charge for a gel manicure. Maybe other places charge 32 dollars and up, but I dont think its worth that. The lady who did my feet also wanted to use the SAME TOOLS SHE USED ON THE LAST PERSON. so Beware !! & make sure you request new tools P.S I saw ticks? Under the tables.

Mayra Gamez I got a gel manicure here with Dalila. I had not known that this salon was new and open, but came here after grabbing coffee down the street at Twee. Dalila was very good and attentive to detail and provided top notch gel nails. I showed her a picture and asked if we could replicate it and she eagerly did so. I had a chipped nail and she was able to add hard gel to make it the same length of my other nails. I’ve struggled to find a good place where someone is able to do good gel manicures in Riverside. Dalila actually was my gel manicurist at Holly’s Nail in Riverside. I was happy to follow her to her new business venture and support her and her great work. The nails with the black tips are from this most recent visit. I’m including some previous manicures Dalila did for me in people will stop by and support this new salon.

Samantha Dawn Hoover Lynn is the best!! This was mine and my friends first time here and Lynn did an amazing job on both of our nails, the art she can do on your nails is amazing I highly suggest bringing a photo of what you want and I bet she can do a beautiful job! She never rushed and made sure everything was perfect! The other gal who did my toes did amazing as well. I highly recommend coming here and pricing was fair as well. Will be coming back !

Natasha Wolpe Dalila was super nice and accommodating. Service was top notch for mani and pedi with competitive pricing for the area. Think I’ve found my new go to salon!

Elizabeth Bautista This is my new favorite nail spot! I feel so pampered when I come here its the perfect way to treat myself! My nails always last over a month with no lifting! Dalila is the best!

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.

viridiana hernandez BEST NAIL SALON IN RIVERSIDE, HANDS DOWN! I didnt take a before picture but girlllll ! I had like no toenails cause theyre so small haha. I asked Jennifer if it was even possible to make acrylics and she made it happen! I even got a pinky toe nail!! I also got my eyebrows and upper lip waxed. Clean and easy, little eyebrow massage helped. Ill definitely be a returning client, thank you ladies!

Leonela Ortiz “Amazing customer service! Brian went above and beyond by taking me in even though it was already late and even stayed over to finish my nails. I truly appreciate his dedication and professionalism. My nails turned out absolutely beautiful—I love the outcome! Highly recommend!”

Alejandra Franco Went to get a pedicure, got my nail guled on after it was chiped by a hand file. While there I decided might as well get my legs waxed... I thought, why go home a bust out my wax kit when I can just have it done now, right. NOPE! WORST DECISION. Lets just say the flamingo wax strips would of done a better job. My legs are about 50% not waxed. Not only did I get up-charged for having bigger calves but I came home with the worst irritation and still had to scrub off left over wax. Do not get waxed here!!!

Esme Went here to get a new set and Brian took care of me. He did a great job on my nails. I am so happy with them. I will definitely return.

Rashida Jackson Very nice and professional service. My nail technician Brian was very kind and his work speaks for itself. He has years of experience and stays current on new products and techniques. ****UPDATE **** If I could give this salon 6 stars I totally would. The quality of service is consistent. My nails are literally a conversation starter! Vo is totally awesome too. He is funny and very professional. He slayer my nails.

Afton Gutierrez Called in about 10:30 on a Sunday to see if they had time for a full set. They told me to come in and I was set with may. I let her know ahead of time that I have very sensitive hands and I showed her my inspo pic. Not only was she extremely gentle but she was attentive and detail-oriented and my nails look so good almost identical to the picture the slight changes were made by us on the spot. The picture with the matte finish is the info. Also was able to get an eyebrow wax and lip wax while there wonderful experience definitely my new go to place.

Margaret Dunn I came in for a full set and pedicure. John and Kristy were great! John did an amazing job on my full set nails. They look just like the picture I showed him! I love Euro nails! They are always so pleasant. I wont go anywhere else.

Jayde hughes I’d like to say that the lady that did my pedicure was very professional however I do not like the job that was done whatsoever. My big toe is not the shape that I want and I could not See it being the shape that I wanted it to be without acrylic as well as one is way shorter than the other when I asked for acrylic the lady that did my pedicure insisted that I just use my natural nail to avoid risk of hitting my toenail And “save my money”… I 100% know the risk that comes with having acrylic on my big toe and I was 100% OK with paying extra for it, but I took a chance and let her do my natural Nail, because I figured if she’s insisting that I do my natural nail, then she may be able to get it to look how I want it to even with the length differences I was expecting it to look somewhat better than what I came in with… That being said I am completely underwhelmed by the Pedicure I received… To begin with the paint job which is very messy and the shape which is not consistent or even a nice shape.

Michille Mouse Barba Wendy did an extra special job on my pedicure. My feet look and feel awesome. Tammy did my manicure and my hands are as soft as my feet now. I tipped them for there great work. I will be back to see these two on a regular basis.

Haily I recently had the pleasure of getting both a manicure and pedicure—a full set, if you will—alongside my mom, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was perfect—calm, inviting, and not too loud, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the moment. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel as if we were getting our nails done by longtime friends rather than just technicians. Brian, Diane, and Van are true professionals who take their time to ensure every detail is flawless. Their skill and dedication to their craft are evident in their exceptional work. And I can’t forget to mention the massage—absolutely heavenly! It was the perfect finishing touch to an already amazing experience. If you’re looking for a nail salon that combines expertise, hospitality, and a soothing ambiance, this is definitely the place to go.

Katelyn. O Honestly love this nail place! I came to this place with my cousin once and fell in love. Everyone is so nice and greats you right when you come threw that door. I always feel comfortable when I walk in. Its not like any other nail place i have gone too. Everyone is always so happy to serve you. If you are looking for a place to go, this is the place. I mostly get pedicures but when I do get a manicure them nails last me a whole month. These ladies and gents know how to makes these nails last. Best place ever!!!
