Sonias House of Nails

Me equivoque

I went here few times for gel manicures & spa pedicures. I liked Natalie’s work. she was maticulous & trimmed the cuticles to perfection… the gels lasted for at least 3 weeks. a week ago I called to get an appointment I was told Natalie doesn’t work there anymore. I asked if they know where she went. of course they didn’t say.
If anyone knows where she is, please let me know. oh another thing, last time I went here in December, the place was dirty. the bathroom was discusting. Dirty sink, trash overflowing, no toilet paper. I guess the new owner doesn’t care! Needless to say I am not going there again…

The reasons why I liked this place:
1. Wide variety of OPI nail polish.
2. Quick service
3. Humble environment
4. Small and private
Why I didn’t:
1. The girl who did my nails didn’t seem to want to do them.
2. Their products don’t seem very clean. She pulled them out of a box that held lots of used tools.
3. She didn’t disinfect my hands or hers.
4. The cuticle removal was painful because she removed it with that electric file which caused many cuts.
5. She wasn’t very enthused or happy.
Meh. The place is alright. I’m going to try other places.

This salon is now called eres nail and salon. Look it up on Unilocal

I’m sorry but I do not recommend anyone this place sucks is no wonder is EMPTY, the pedicurist seemed to be a beginner, She did not get the cuticles off well then as she scrub she did it in such a lazy fast way n btw she didn’t even add lotion on my legs wth really! According to their price list pedicure is $ 15 i ended paying $ 20 n I was not told I was being charge $ 5 extra because of my ingrown skin which she couldn’t even take out n she asked her coworker to do so which didn’t made no difference she just kept digging n made the pain worsened. This is ridiculous honestly I should of not paid for, but since I don’t like to be rude and disrespect, I let t go I’d prefer not waist my time with arrogant airheads I should of not bothered reading the reviews and should of gone straight to K nails instead now they do good pedicure without any hidden fees!!! 11÷22÷14

Didnt like the way they didnt clean my nails right and when i started doing them myself they just watch and didnt do anything! I will not be coming back here again! They are expensive with very low quality. Staff was very aannoying and unknowable about anything i had about prices!

I went to this place in April (late review) based on the Unilocal reviews, unfortunately I didn’t have a good experience.
I can’t speak for all the nail techs there but the girl I had took 2.5 hours for a fill with gel color and design on one finger. I felt really bad, she did try very hard and kept asking if I was ‘OK?” with the work. She even kept going over and re-​doing because she could tell I was upset with the design and the acrylic was so uneven and thick in some areas on my nails.
In the end the gel was sticky so she just painted over it with regular clear nail polish! After already sitting for 2.5 hours I did not have the patience to have her try and fix anything. I left as is and speeded to the next nail salon in the area and had it re-​done.

The first time I came here, Monserrat did my nails and they came out perfect and did not lift for 2 weeks. I would have given her 5 stars as she was so sweet, gentle and did a great job.
The most recent time I came her, another girl did my nails. I never asked for her name though as I knew I wasn’t going to have her do my nails again. I walked out very unsatisfied and looking at my nails right now, they are so ugly. She got a lot of the powder on my skin, and had to buff it off and kept hitting my skin. She buffed around the nails so much that they are such a weird turtle back lumpy shape. I can’t wait to take these off and make an appointment with Monse again. Such a waste of my money.

Extremely disappointing experience, given all of the glowing reviews. It took over two hours for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. They quoted me $ 40 when I came in the door, then forced me to pay $ 45.There are specks of dust in the gel, and it’s lumpy. I won’t be returning– I’ve got to go find a place to get them fixed.
PS– some of us white girls are fluent in Spanish– probably not wise to tell the less experienced gel manicurist that she could «practice» on me. I should have said something, lesson learned.

I went to Sonia’s for the first time tonight. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted and felt welcomed. I got an acrylic set, with colored gel and a pedicure. Both turned out great! Everyone was very friendly. I will definitely be going back

Sonia is the best. The girls here are friendly and they know how to make really cute nail designs. I love this place it’s very nice and clean! I recommend this nail shop to all my friends and family!

Hands down! best nail shop! All the ladies are so nice & friendly! I would recommend this nail shop to anyone any day!

Girls all have great personalities and best of all they have talent. Makes me proud that a group of wonderful Latinas can get down with design, style uniqueness and attention to details. I would gladly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for Quality Work!

To much attitude and expensive. in my visit, no one was nice. I wouldn’t go back, to amateur.

Once again Sonia did an amazing job!!!
Seriously if you are reading these reviews and you are trying to decide where to get your nails done. Look no more! This is defiantly the best place in riverside. Atmosphere is welcoming and the prices are very reasonable.
Recently got an almond full set for $ 28

So I’m new to the area and have been to a couple shops in the area and was not satisfied! So with the help of Unilocal reviews I found this cute little shop and by far the best in Riverside thus far! I was impressed with the quality of designs and will definitely be going back here again. Not to mention the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the area.

AMAZING work! creative and very detailed.
They have all the new L A trends, and a wide variety of beautiful OPI Gel colors.
I’ve been looking for a place like this for seven years, and I’ve finally found it!
Thanks Sonia, and Ali for my gorgeous nails!

Today was my 1^st time there. Really good service. Cheap prices. Only thing is I would love it if there was more of a polish selection. I love Essie & OPI and they didn’t really carry those. I’d like to see more of a bow selection to put on your nails. All in all I would go back for basic nails but nothing crazy.

Literally the BEST Nail Salon I have EVER been to in my 23 years of life. First off, let me start by saying that Sonia, the owner, is super young, sweet polite and does some amazing nails along with Destiny! Its a small nail shop that might I add are not employed with Asian nail techs. All Techs are Hispanic and speak perfect ENGLISH, they dont try to «add» stuff to your manicures… like «Fi-​dolla-​mo» kinda stuff. They do all the current nail trends to the T. I always bring in a picture of what I want and both Sonia and Destiny execute it amazingly! This place is also super clean and friendly, need a new nail shop? This is a MUST-​GO!
