Unique Nails

Terrible service, no time management, false advertising, they never have any time for any nail appointments or eyebrow appointments, every time I walk in they always tell me to wait 3 to 5 hours or to make an appointment next time why would you make me get an appointment when your front door says walk-​ins are welcome and there’s only two people working and four stations. It’s the husband and the wife and they bring their baby to work. If I could give zero stars I would but I’ll just never come back here!

I always love coming here to get my armpits waxed, Lisa does a great job and she is very sweet. I recently got my nails done and, again, they did a great job. Best place in the area!

Make an appt because the husband/​wife team that run this place are usually booked. Not fancy but they take pride in their work and it shows.

I recently visited unique nails because I needed to do something about my bushman eyebrows. I arrived right when they opened. There was one other lady ahead of me and I was trying to get the inside scoop about the place. I was told it’s the only place she goes to get her eyebrows done and I shouldn’t go anywhere else. When I was taken to the back room the lady was very sweet and took her time to perfect the shape of my eyebrows. I now know why I was told to never go anywhere else. She did an amazing job and I will be coming back again!

Most nail salons take people and never turn them away not this place! I even called ahead drive there and they would not take myself or my daughter. The man was very rude when he turned us away!

I’ve tried to go 3 weeks in a row and 3 weeks in a row he didn’t want to take walk ins. Maybe they should remove the sign that says walk ins welcome. Rude service and the one time I did go there they were to cheap to turn on the air conditioner. The only reason I’m giving them 2 stars is because they do a good job… When they feel like it.

Arrived for my 5 ‘o clocc appointment 15 min. early. Wasn’t necessary apparently… more so… not liked either. Hospitality wasn’t very warm and the guy was rude. Not understanding what that was about but definitely didn’t feel very welcomed. I booked an appointment for another salon as i sat waiting to be served. That salon actually had a 5 star rating and as well as 5 star service. Unique Nails definitely had a unique way’ve driving this customer away for sure.

Linda does an excellent job with waxing, I only cried a little! She shaped my eyebrows perfectly and didn’t mind when I had to take a business call during my waxing session.
Lisa gave me an amazing pedicure, her attention to detail was fantastic! Her foot and leg massage felt great as well.
I have now found the perfect spot to get waxed and pedicured, and I wll tell my friends.

This is an amazing nail salon! It is large, clean, well-​organized, brightly lit, and comfortable. There are 7 massage chairs for pedicures and 9 manicure/​nail art stations. The salon is owned by a Vietnamese man and his wife, Lisa. He has operated the salon there for 8 years. His staff is friendly and skilled. I got the lower part of my arms waxed first in a private room. Linda did a wonderful job. In fact, it was the best arm waxing I have ever had done! I have very blond, fine hair on my arms. So, waxing it away is challenging because you can barely see it. Linda made sure to apply the wax in the direction the hair grows and then pull in the opposite direction. She used a tiny layer of hot wax and worked in small sections. Towards the end she asked me to help her examine my arms to make sure she had not missed a spot. The cost for an elbow to hand wax is $ 25 for both arms. I was so happy with the arm waxing I decided to stay for a pedicure. I sat in a wonderful massage chair for 10 minutes allowing the chair to work out the stress on my body while my feet soaked in a warm water whirlpool bath! I perused a magazine and watched news on the television perched high above the floor. In addition to using acetone, an electric nail file was used to gently and efficiently remove the blue-​black nail polish from my toenails. This was a tough assignment, but they did it patiently until not a trace was left of my former color choice. My feet were scrubbed thoroughly while I looked at the various nail designs offered. I chose a cotton candy pink shade as the base and selected a white flower pattern for my big toes. Lisa did an excellent job of trimming the cuticles and my toenails. She took more steps in the process of preparing, painting, and sealing the pedicure than I have ever experienced. I was very pleased. In addition to the waxing, pedicures, and manicures, the salon offers nail tips, nail repairs, basic nail art, and even airbrushed designs. I took photos of the various options. (Check out the photos here.) I was even impressed with the high-​tech nail drying station. This place has it all! I am going back next week to get some French nail tips. I saw three ladies get theirs done while I was there, and the final result looked very natural and beautiful. I would highly recommend this nail salon to anyone living in the area or visiting any of the Desert Hot Springs mineral water spas. It needs to be part of your overall pampering experience while you are in town! The prices are also better than in Palm Springs. This place is truly a treasure! I am thrilled to have such a top-​shelf nail salon near my desert getaway house! The only reason this salon did not get 5 stars is because I did not get my heels and the rougher parts of my feet slathered with callus remover and then filed to remove the callus build-​up and keep my feet soft. This is not a big deal for me personally, as I have the tools to take good care of my feet on my own in this department. But I think this should be part of the service. I forgot to ask about it while I was there. Next time I will take callus remover and a heel file with me and show them what I need done. I am sure they will accommodate me.
