Red Persimmon Nails

I’m a regular here and usually come to see Paula. She’s usually amazing and interacts well with customers, is a perfectionist, oh and doesn’t talk crap in Vietnamese lol. Today was different, I decided to get a pedi. One of her staff members that has never worked on me before did my pedicure while Paula worked on my manicure. I knew from the get go on how the lady looked and treated me, that she thought I wasn’t going to tip her. She also started making remarks in Vietnamese to Paula. Ok yes I’m not Vietnamese but I can tell when you’re talking shit with your mannerisms and service toward me. To make matters worst when Paula finished my manicure the bill came out to $ 60 total. I tipped $ 20. Then Paula tells her «see I told you» which confirms she thought I wasn’t going to tip. I’m a nice person and love to give people chances I just don’t think it’s ok to judge people at all. At least I was able to put a smile on that ladies face. Maybe her life sucks behind closed doors… But still it’s not ok to treat people like that. Judging by race, color, look, etc. I’m educated, and am a working bartender as well, I know how the industry works. I’m thinking of being a regular at another establishment.

First time here and will not be going back… the color selection was horrible… I was there on my lunch break and told the nail technician that I was on a time crunch, she sent 9 minutes on phone and cut me… horrible service and rude staff

Would not go anywhere else… I live in Anaheim do travel a little to get my nails by Paula it Kelly and pedicure by Tina… A++

Came in for a new set 4÷30÷16 and was sat down with Mary. As soon as I saw Mary, I felt unsure about her. For starters, Mary (no offense) looked about 70 years old. This was an instant red flag as it had me questioning if she could even do her job. Then she starts talking to me, and she was BARELY able to talk. I’m not emphasizing on her accent. I’m talking about her struggle to speak. Chopped sentences and out of breath, um ok! I was nervous, and she hadn’t even started yet. I had to mentally force myself to CALM down and not be mean, because ONE, I’m at a nail salon. This is what they do. This is their job. TWO, Mary SHOULD know what the hell she’s doing. She’s employed here for a reason. THREE, I’m not a stranger to this salon, I’ve been here before. SO, it’ll be fine… It’ll BE FINE! I kept reminding myself, that it was going to be okay. Oh, was I wrong. She started applying the plastic nails with her hands shaking. Upset, but I was really trying to give Mary the benefit of the doubt. Once the acrylic was laid, and filed down. I took a glance and was, like OMG, NO WAY! My nails were uneven. They were crooked. My thumb was in pain because she over filed it. They looked straight out ghetto. Like, I could have just gone to the swap meet, pay half of what I’m paying for the same SHIT job! I told Mary, I did not like them and asked for her NOT to paint my nails. I told her I was going to go home and take them off, because they looked so crappy. I then began to tell her how I was NOT going to pay for her poor work. Mary then starts to argue with me telling, me WHY didn’t I say anything (Like, didn’t I just say something? Hello? You got dementia too??) Mary starts talking among the nail staff, then offers me a five dollar discount. Like really, hag? I start to talk with the manager, Paula and she tells me, she could fix it. I told Paula I did not want to sit through to get my all my nails painfully removed and redone all over again. I’m pissed and want to leave! I could have argued all day with the Paula and Mary, but they were NOT going to let me leave without paying. My blood was boiling. I even started to cry, like, it so embarrassing. I couldn’t believe it got to that point. WAY TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS. I refuse to go back to Red Persimmon. This place has absolutely ZERO customer service. Don’t bother complaining! It will get you no where.

I always call ahead to make an appointment and am always accommodated promptly when I arrive. The work that all the nail technicians do is great. If something doesn’t come out quite right the first time, they will fix it without me needing to point it out to them. That’s particularly nice in my opinion because it can be uncomfortable critiquing someone’s work, especially since nail technicians probably get a lot of tough customers. I’ve gotten full acrylic sets and gel manicures here and they last until my nails grow out. I’ve only had one break on me, and it was my fault (putting on a shoe and my hand slipped). Went back to Red Persimmon 2 days later and was only charged $ 4 to fix the broken nail.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER ! I showed her a picture of what I wanted shape and design and and she said ok ok ok. Nails weren’t even the right shape and she was so rough! Cut my fingers burned me with how much she used the files on my finger and burned me with how much she left the filing machine. I didn’t even get the design I wanted. I just wanted to get out of there. I’ve never had such a bad experience getting my nails done. I usually give places a chance even if they have bad reviews but please take my warning and go elsewhere. Only reason this has a star is because it wouldn’t let me post it without one.

Always the best service! Paula is the best! I’ve been coming here since the day they opened and can’t complain. The service is the best and quality of my nails also.

Great place. Paula has an eye for nails and art. Shapes nails right way and she cares about her work.

This place is seriously the worst place to get your nails done. The staff doesn’t speak English and trying to explain to them what you want is a task in itself. They have s sign that displays the MasterCard and Visa logo and after waiting about 10 minutes a women then tells you cash only please. Not returning to this foreign business anymore!!!

I was leary after reading some of the reviews. Anna gave me a great pedicure. I really needed one. Fast and terrific job –I had issues with my toenails and not a problem. No pain at all.

If I could give it a zero I would. First of all, should have known it was a bad idea already when I saw 5 of the ladies working all sleeping or watching tv or playing cards. I asked for gel, and as the lady was working on my nails she was super rough and I didn’t trust her so I said I just wanted regular mani. She kept pushing me for gel and when I adamantly refused she was even rougher with my nails. So then I didn’t even trust her to put color on my nails. Just asked for clear. I walked out thinking WOW worse job ever and they just had to do clear nail polish. Next day it’s already cracked and chipped. NEVER go here. I want my $ back.

I like coming here. They do well with gel nail polish, and the ladies are polite. They’re great about making appointments and usually on time. They have tons of color options, but not much by way of nail art.
The nail salon is clean, orderly, and has lots of natural light. The chairs could use more cushion, but they make up for it by giving you pillows to rest your back on or rest your hands on while manicuring. Like many places they can do pedi/​mani at the same time. I’m a perfectionist about toe polishes, though, and here doesn’t cut the mustard for my standards.
Still, good place, clean, trustworthy, average prices.

Worst experience at a nail salon I have ever had. I left in pain. First off, it was a warm day and the shop was even hotter inside. No air on at all. During my manicure, I was asked if I wanted gel nail polish at least 7 times. I clearly informed the lady that I just wanted regular polish. After she asked me for the final time, she no longer spoke to me. During the manicure, she was extremely rough even after I would pull my hands away and tell her it hurt. My nails were filed so poorly that I have burns and scratches from the file around my nails. The lady also cut my finger and it began to bleed. She soon after drenched it with acetone. Overall, no matter how cheap the services are or how in much of a hurry you are in, do not attend this nail salon.

I’ve been coming here for a while. No real issues except the girls are always asking if I’m single… but I digress…
came in on a Sunday afternoon for a pedicure and the place was packed. I was told 15 minutes before someone was free. I decided to wait. Mind you, I’m the only one there. 5 minutes later, another lady comes in and is waiting like me. Somehow she got seated before I did, but no one explained it, no one said anything. Another lady who was already seated glanced at me a few times, as she was wondering the same thing as I. Since no one at the shop was paying any attention to this, I just picked up and left… went across the street to Ann’s Nails… will write about that experience when I’m done.

Will never ever go back here… I came for gel nail polish and regular pedicure… And it was the worst experience by far.
1^st. The receptionist just greeted me hi and «what u want», then i said gel and pedicure then just started speaking vietnamese to the girls and didnt even pointed me out if i need to wait or go ahead and sit somewhere…
2^nd i just sat down and they gave me te color models then they took my onehand to soak in the water and the other hand to file it… Didnt got a chance to choose the colors! Only by putting it in my lap amd look at it.
3^rd. They dont even know how match the color closest to what they put in my toes… I kept telling them i want neutral bcoz of work.
4rth and WORST case everytime i put my gel nail to the light it keeps on melting afterwards that she needs to re-​do it AND she cut the sides of my nails to slant that it hurts!!! And took out my skin tooooo much that i got cutsssss and it was bleeding!!! At least 3 out of 4 cuts was literally bleeding when i walked out!!!

I’ve been coming here for about 8 years. My acrylic nails are done by Paula and my pedis are usually done by Tina. I always come in w/​some wild design request but no matter how difficult, they’re always able to execute my vision. I always get complimented on my nails. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

This is a really late review but I wanted to see how long my gel manicure would last. I went early last week for a gel manicure and luckily, although it was lunch hour, they were not busy at all. I was sat immediately and when I told them I wanted a design done on my nails, they let me know that they can do it. I was a long time customer of Ann’s nails across the street, but there have been times where they would say «oh no we can’t do that design». I felt bad because the design I wanted was new to them, but almost every lady came to my station to look at the pinterest pin that I showed to try and give my lady tips on how to make it. One of the ladies even started looking up youtube videos on how to make it as my lady (Ana) was doing the basic part of the manicure. When she was ready to do the design, she looked over the picture again to make sure she did it right, and she took her time trying to make it identical to the picture. After it was all said and done, I was very happy with my nails and with the price. I will definitely start coming here more often. Ann’s nails is great, but they have been so crowded lately and their level of good service has lessened.
It has now been about a weekish since I got the manicure, and it looks like I just got it done today. The gel hasn’t lifted and nothing has chipped.
Gel manicure with design cost me $ 30 + tip. There is a $ 1 charge for using your card, so it would be wise to bring cash if you don’t like having that extra charge.
Salon was clean and well ventilated (since I’ve come into my second trimester, my sense of smell has gone off the charts!) which I really liked.
I’ll definitely be back and I will be requesting Ana again :)

Tried this place out for the first time today. I thought it was great. I normally go to Ann’s nails across the street but lately they’ve become more crowded and their work has suffered so I decided to try something new. This place has been recently remodeled and looks nothing like any pics on Unilocal.
The prices are decent and I’m very happy with the finished product. BIG TIP… ask for Tina. She was great and very good at manicures and pedicures. I will definitely visit this place again.

Wednesday 9:15 am
I walk in and the front counter receptionist greets with me with a quick hello, what you need today? I told her I needed a manicure so she pointed me to an empty station. I sat there for a good 5 minutes while «vivian» hair sprayed her hair. When she finally got around to helping me out she grabbed my hand and was examining it. Oh hunny, you have very thin nail… you need gel coat. I kindly told her no thanks because I was only getting a manicure for a job interview. She was so insistent I get the gel that she stated every excuse under the sun. Oh it’s only $ 10 more… thats not a lot of money… oh your nail so thin… your nail is crooked… Oh you need wax to make cuticle softer… NOOOOO!!! What part of NOOOOOO don’t you understand? No means no and I told her at least 15 times NO, all I want is a basic manicure.
She asked me for payment right before she was to paint my nails and I handed her my credit card. She told me it was going to be $ 10 not including tip… so how much tip? I couldn’t believe how pushy she was being… so I told her $ 3 and the rest of the appointment she didn’t say one word to me.
What happened next made me NEVER to want to step foot in this business again. While I was getting hackled by Vivian, another employee had filled one of the pedicure chair tubs with water and poured laundry detergent in it. I thought it was some sick joke but low and behold she put a bunch of towels in the tub and began washing them. I included a picture of this if you don’t believe me. Honestly I will never ever go back here again and if you are considering coming here think again. There are many other places to chose from.

I went to this place because my nails were screaming for an urgent manicure!
This place was on my way, so went in. got my nails done
mani & pedi
It was barely OK
They try to convince me, in a very adamant way, to get other services.
I didn’t!
** Always remember this clip Anjela Johnson
hilarious!
As they said before if you pay with credit card they charge $ 1
I think will go back, just when my nails scream
That’s it!
