Lacquer Nail & Spa

This salon is really as good as these reviews claim them to be. The lady that did my nails was super nice and helpful and sooo gorgeous too. Since moving from Houston I have been trying salons left and right around the area but have always left unsatisfied. I really can not find anything bad to say about this place. They were great. Good Quality, good customer service and plus they’re like down the street from my house so convenience as well. I think I found my new go to !

This is, hands down, the best nail salon in the Riverside/​Corona area. The owners are more than accommodating, the salon is clean and very well taken care, and every.single.time my nails look fabulous when I leave. I highly, highly recommend Lacquer Nail Salon. You will not be disappointed.

It was my first time at this nail salon, it took a while for someone to say hello, but that’s because they only three employees right now. The owners mentioned they are looking for more professionals who, «know what the’re doing.» The salon is very clean and well laid out. The pedicure chairs where clean and felt amazing while I got my mani/​pedi. My nails came out amazing and the girl gave me extra nail care tips for home. I will be returning and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

So I just went here for the first time today. I am so happy I did. This spa has such a relaxing ambiance to it. I got a gel manicure and pedicure. I wish I could tell you by who, but I forgot to get there names. The owner did my toes and he was great! The other young lady did my mani. She was awesome, very detailed and precise. As she was doing them, she would ask if my shape and the overall look of them was ok, which I appreciated because not many places care. She was very gentle with my nails, and I was really happy about that because other salons I’ve gone to have been too rough and even cut me a couple times. This didn’t happen once with her. They all speak English very well, and seem to have a good vibe going in there. They also have an awesome playlist, my manicurist was humming along with the songs and so was I I thought this place was great! Definitely recommend.

I LOVE Lacquer Nails. Kimiko and Sandra are absolutely the best nail technicians I’ve ever had. They care about the health and look of your nails, they take their time to do a great job every time, they never rush you and continually ask about my comfort and satisfaction.
The salon is modern and exceptionally clean, no annoying television blaring or weird funky lighting, mismatched furniture and crazy statues. It’s relaxing and comfortable. One of the best parts? They all speak English! I won’t go anywhere else and you shouldn’t either. Lots and lots of gel colors to choose from and Kimiko does custom designs that you’ll love. Very reasonably priced and 5% off for cash.

My first time to ever get acrylic and it was the best experience! Very professional and beautiful work. I love my nails!

Pros
1.Great customer service
2.Affordable price
3.I massed up with my toes because I wore the boots. However the owner gently fixed it for me for free.
Cons
1. I made appointment with sandra, but kimiko helped my hands and toes. It was okay for me because kimiko is also a good nail artist. But some customer might care about this issue.

Hands down, my favorite nail salon ever. Technicians at other salons in Riverside that I’ve visited don’t actually care about the health and longevity of my nails like Sandra, Maurice, and Kimiko do at Lacquer. Sandra has taken such great care of my nails since I first came to the shop a few months back, which by the way is very clean and modern.
They all really take their time with the service to make sure you are comfortable and satisfied with the look and feel of your nails/​toenails. I got acrylic nails from Sandra that were super thin and beautiful, and when I decided I wanted a change I got the best gel manicure I’ve ever gotten, and it really saved the length and strength of my nails. I’ll come back again and again, they are the sweetest people with the best skill in custom designs and simple styles! Make sure you call and make an appointment so you are guaranteed a spot; there are only 3 people working there, so you will get what you came for but making an appointment confirms your spot at a specific time — and believe me it’s worth it!

Wow! I was so impressed with this place. Not only are they professional but they do everything to make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed! Such nice people and they create such a nice ambiance. I wish I had remembered my nail techs name but she was amazing! Her attention to detail was incredible. She noticed that a few of my nails were quite weak so she put an extra layer of gel on those nails to harden them so my manicure would last longer! Mind=blown. And I have the cutest manicure of all time. The prices were very reasonable too!

This nail salon offers the best customer service I’ve ever received while getting a manicure and pedicure. I’ve gotten service from all of the nail techs and they all do a great job. However, Kimi has done my nails more than once and I’ve left extremely happy. She’s extremely clean, detailed and makes sure your nails are clear perfection before you leave. She even stayed after closing once to make sure I was satisfied and not once did she rush me.
I will say to plan accordingly because the service can be a little longer than usual, however, it is SO worth the wait! I rather sit in a little longer and leave happy then feel like I’m being rushed out the door.
They always go above and beyond to make sure that you don’t only like but you LOVE your service.
I asked for a polish change on my toes to now match my hands and they noticed one of my toe nails was hurting me. Instead of ignoring it, Sandy came and helped kimi make sure that it was ok and even filed them all.
I am definitely a regular and will continue to be back!

Attention Mario,
I can appreciate your interst in my review since it’s not what your business strives for. The problem I’m having is that you’re calling me a liar because I DID in fact show the nail tech a photo from your Unilocal reviews, not once but twice. Both times she glanced at them and said «okay.» I’d be more than happy to stop by an confirm that indeed did happen. When she asked me of I’d like to pay before starting, how did you not see or hear when I had shown her and told that my debit card was already out on the counter along with my phone? Now as far as the check in time, the paper asks what time the appt is for so yes, I did write down 12pm. And to clarify NO I did not leave a few minutes before 1pm, in fact I walked out at 1:12pm. What’s upsetting now is that you’re saying full set should be approximately 1hr to 1hr and 15 mins, but yet mine was done in less than 45mins. I was snap chatting my experience and luckily I have photos to confirm that I was still waiting for service at 12:20 and then took a time stamped photo once I was seated at 12:30. I have no reason to lie, infact I enjoy to review my experiences at new and familiar places, good, bad and ugly. Luckily for you, it’s only a review an nothing more. I am only 1 of millions on this planet who has decided to take my business elsewhere.

First I just want to thank Sandra for fixing my hot mess. I can’t believe how amazing this place is. I do recommend an appointment. Let me say how horrible my nails looked with I went in. I had to walk out of a place because they were not doing my fill right. Sandra took my old nails off which the way she them off was amazing my ripping them off with another nail she actually soaked off my nails. And she asked me what I wanted made sure that my nails were the way I wanted them thru the whole time. I just love this place I will most definitely be back for my fill!

By far the best Nail Salon ive been to in Riverside. Clearly a family owned business, very respectful, clean, and very kind people. I love how they have a wide range of colors for your nails! I can also tell they are high end nail polishes. They make sure you feel confortable from the moment you step into there salon (many nail salons ive been to try to get you in and rush you out quickly). This is one of the reasons i love this place so much. They care about there customers. They take your time doing your nails, i can tell there are very talented at what they do and make sure when you leave, your nails are perfect.

So I’ll begin by saying how picky I am about anything. I do my own hair, I cook my own food, an do my own nails most of the time because I like perfection to my own specificities. But I HATE doing my own nails. I have just moved to this area and I have tried two nail salons who failed miserably. Painful nail buds after, chipping early, or completely breaking within a couple of days. I work in a restaurant that can’t fly. I finally decided to try another salon but only the best and five star reviews will do. So I ended up at Laquer… Omg!
Sandra is the best!
Not only does she have amazing attention to detail, an extensive knowledge in technique, and a sweet personality. But she cares about how you want your nail. Time after time I have felt hesitant to ask a nail tech to correct a nail or mistake because of their attitude or reluctant behavior, but Sandra… She realizes that they are your nails and will not settle for anything less than what YOU want.
I got an acrylic full set in a shape that’s in between almond and stiletto, gel polish, and a design.
Brava! This is my new nail salon.

I waited over a week to write a review because I wanted to see if it peels or chip easily. After a week, no peeling or lifting of my gel nails. My nails still looks fresh and clean. I’m SO picky when it comes to nails. I like it a certain way, and if you don’t do it right the first time. there’s no second chances. I had my share of bad experiences at nail salons. I have searched near and far for the best nail salons. I’ve been through so many and can’t seem to find the right places. Most places did not speak English and did not do what you asked. But, I’m happy to say I found my nail salon! Yay!
Ps. The owners/​workers are super nice and they make you feel super comfortable, and everything IS CLEAN. (A+++)

OMG how did I not know of this little gem sooner!!! I’ve been to different nail salons left and right (have even gone to the LA nail salons which I would spend over $ 100)and I couldn’t find anyone that can get the nails to how I wanted they could leave them lumpy or they would be uneven I hated it!
Found this place on Unilocal and saw the reviews and decided to give it a shot, and they did not disappoint me I brought my older sister and she is super picky and she loved it as well! We are definitely going to be regular customers they have so many colors available in gel and regular polish and the owners are super friendly and take their time getting the job done perfectly and their nail art is sooo beautiful if you are looking for a new nail salon come to this place!!!

First of all, this is not your typical Asian nail salon. I have nothing against them, I actually have a couple of favorite places. BUT this is by far the best experience I’ve had.
The moment I walked in the door I was greeted by great customer service. I was very well accepted as a walk in. Did not get rushed when choosing my color or nail decisions. Sandra included me through out the whole filing process. I was able to relax and yet enjoy a good conversation. The owners honestly care about their clients and to provide the best customer service possible.
The salon it’s self is very clean and cute. I do not have to worry about anything being unsanitary. I think their prices are very reasonable. I don’t live in the area but will be coming back. That’s how much I enjoyed my experience.

Well first things first this place is an absolute GEM!
How you can possibly write anything negative towards this couple who treat their clients with nothing but love instead of walking dollar signs is beyond me…
With that being said it’s taken me 4 yrs to finally get my nails done since the last place I went to I got fungus in my index finger from that place nor properly washing and/​or sanitizing their equipment
So don’t judge me for being skeptical
Although I have to say after all the positive feed back from them I just had to try this place out
Pay day was a few days ago and what better way than to treat myself to something nice like a full set of long nails?
Sandra and her husband are the cutest little Colombian couple I’ve come across in the nail industry. They are not there to rush your decision on what to get, they have the patients to explain their products, how much everything is, and the ability to put all their time and effort to make each and every nail look FABULOUS!
I’ve recommended this nail salon to every customer that has come into my job and complimented the art I get to call my nails.
I can honestly say if you want to hold a great conversation in a calm relaxing setting you should definitely place this place on your list of places to visit
You WONT regret it I promise!
*they accept walk ins as well as appointments
Appointments just make it easier for them to plan accordingly :)

1^st time coming here walk ins are
Welcomed. Friendly staff
Great prices
They do a lovely job, very gentle
In love with the results definitely coming back

So I moved to the riverside area about 6 months ago and have been on the hunt for a good nail salon… I’ve been cut and ignored at other places and couldn’t seem to find a place with great customer service! I decided to give this place a shot because it’s right down the street from me and had amazing reviews– and I wasn’t disappointed!
The owners are incredibly sweet and welcoming and the place is beautifully clean! I had Andrea for my manicure and she did an amazing job! She didn’t rush through or pull out the dreaded drill (thank goodness)! I’ll definitely be back here again! If you’re STILL looking for a nail salon to try– look no further! :)
