Designer Nails in Lake Elsinore, CA

This nail place is one I would NOT recommend. I decided to do a self care day. I was going to get a haircut & a full set. After my hair cut, I walked in & said I want a full set. I asked for the price & she said $50. She said "No pedicure?" And I had said no since I work a lot & don't go out as much. I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted (which is a light pink glitter French tip.) She kept INSISTING for me to get gel & I kept saying NO! She kept saying "it'll last longer like a month". Then she said "it's going to be $60 now" since I wanted French tip. I have NEVER got gel in my life & my nails always last more than a month. Then, midway I decided why not I'll just get a pedicure because my coworker was having a birthday dinner & I could wear heels. She told me right away to go sit down on the chairs. A man was going to do my pedicure (which I would've prefer a woman). The lady immediately brought her stuff over to the chair so she can do my nails at the same time I'm getting my pedicure. I DONT like that because I feel like they're RUSHING. Then, the man also kept INSISTING me to get gel. He then handed me a pamphlet of the different prices of pedicures they do. One was $25, $40, $55 and I think $60 was the highest one. I just wanted a simple pedicure. So I did the $25. I made sure to keep looking at the lady doing my nails because I have a friend I've known since highschool that does my nails all the time & she does an amazing job. (if you want to take a look at her work, her instagram is @yoisecreations). The reason I couldn't go to her was because she had a family situation she needed to take of. He rushed my pedicure. He did NOT fully polish my whole toe nails. The color he used was a more darker pink when I wanted them to be the same color as my nails. So, after he was done we went back to the regular chairs so she can continue doing my full set. She DID NOT cut my cuticles. She had to keep dipping TWICE into the powder. She didn't put much EFFORT into filing my acrylics. The length of my acrylics was perfect since I can't have long nails at my job. My total overall was $85. Once I got home, I noticed my thumbs are uneven. The shape & the French tip line. Overall, I felt like they kept wanting to take my money and RUSHING. They weren't even busy. I would never come here again. The only reason I give a 2 star rating is because one of the ladies that was there, used to do my grandmas nails. She's known me since I was a little girl. She gave me a hug & asked how my family is doing & it felt heartwarming. DO NOT go to this place. All they want is to take your money and rush and NOT TAKE THEIR TIME!

It's hard to understand why this place has bad reviews because I've had a GREAT experience every time and the nail techs are super nice. Before coming here, I tried 2 other nail salons that had better reviews and I had terrible experiences at both. At this nail salon, the nail techs will take their time and will make sure you are happy with the results. The last time I went, I had a late work shift and arrived late to my appointment. They were still willing to help and stayed almost an hour past closing time to assist.

I only had pedi service and informed them that I needed to be done at a certain time and they were very accommodating and made it happen and my pedicure was great!

Worst place ever. They rush on your nails and don't listen to what you want. Asked for square and they rounded the nails out.

my favorite place to get my nails done! they really pay attention to detail and take good care of you.
