LT Nail & Spa

The hours on here are wrong I went on Saturday, the door says it opens at 10am but didn’t open till 10:04. Since they were so late, took them 10mins to set up. The prices are very affordable but you literally get what you’re paying for. I went for a pedi & wax The same day, my nail polish was fading and chipped. The workers talk WAY too much, I usually go to salons where they rarely talk.

To be honest I went here by recommendation of someone else who was waiting already an hour in another salon. I didn’t even see the reviews and I’m glad I didn’t, they did a really good job on my gel nails. the polish goes all the way down and to both sides, the guy who did them took his time, but I appreciated the meticulous-​ness. like other people have mentioned oh my, its a little ghetto. but I’m not there everyday and the price makes it worth it.

This place is horrible. The service sucks, the products are crappy and the people who work there don’t know what they’re doing. I came in for a pedi and mani and the experience was terrible. I got my pedicure done by David and it was so horrible, he made my cuticles bleed and he acted like he didn’t even see it. Then he did my mani and it was the same thing, my skin was still all over the place, it looked like I paid for nothing because my nails looked worse leaving the salon then it did before I came in.
All I have to say is AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!!! It’s not worth coming into this place, you get what you pay for and this place is the worst nail salon I have ever been too, NEVER AGAIN!!!

I was in the area and got my nails (gel) done by Van and she really did a great job. I love that it costs $ 20 versus many places charge you at $ 35.
I do have to warn you about the type of people that goes there to get their nails done. Real ghetto, but if you can over-​looked that. This place for what they charge is not bad.

Wow… where to even start? Came because we were in the area… wish we hadn’t. I got shuffled to three different people to get a simple set done and the lady that did my cousin literally drew blood because she wasn’t paying attention. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy!

I will not come here again… the wait is horrible! The little boy sitting at the counter doesn’ check the sign-​in sheet the ensure everyone has been helped. There was two of us; one brow and the other a fill, pedicure and brow. One sat in water almost twenty minutes before work began. I sat for that length of time for brow. They do not have enough staff and work very slow. The person that did my brow was great.
Lady came in for gel… they took gel off and another girl came in for white tip full set the tech left the gel lady and started working on white tip girl. wtf!!! I am still waiting on daughter“s fill to be complete so she can have brow done… we have been here over two hours!!! Never again! This is the worst place in seen since being in Riverside!
Star only because the lady who did my brow was good.

Should have read reviews before I came here. As everyone else is saying, very uneven. I needed them done ASAP and this was the only place open but the quality isn’t great. ARE THERE NO DECENT NAIL SALONS IN RIVERSIDE?!

I hate writing such negative review, people were friendly, but had to have been one of the worst experiences at a nail salon. Went in to get my gel set removed. I felt like I was being tortured!!! They made no effort to pre-​soak them in acetone before attempting to remove them. They just started hacking up my nails. When I would let out a painful yell cuz they were hurting me, the lady would just giggle. The guy working on my other hand was using his own DIRTY nail to try to scrape off my gel nail. I was horrified. The technique they used to remove the sets seemed very barbaric.

Great place. I came in on a slow day so I had 2 technicians for my mani/​pedi. My feet are the nicest they’ve been in a while! Not a bad price either.

Horrible!!! I asked for coffin nails they gave me only shaped oval nails. Took way to long to do a Fullset that lifted in about a week. They have no professional polish colors mainly just swap meet and $ 1 brands. Not pleased at all. My pedicure lasted pretty long though that’s a plus

This place is filled with Ghetto people. I mean this place even has a sign that pretty much stays Watch your Kids. I went during my lunch break, thought I’d be in and out of there. Well it took over 2 hours for a full set and pedicure. It was horrible, the full set didn’t even have any shine to it, I had to buff them when I got home. The pedicure was mediocre, both my toe nails were different sizes. Are you kidding me.
And to top it all off my total was over $ 40 for a simple french tip pedicure and full set.
Don’t waste your time or money coming here.

My niece wanted a mani and pedi, so we came here. There was no wait. When it was all said and done… I can see why. The employees had on… What I would say Korean American Idol. Not very relaxing, unless you enjoy Korean music or joining the PRK.
When we were walking out, my niece asked if she did something wrong cause it was torture. She said they were rough, water was hot and the nail polish didn’t look professional.
I guess we will try another place.

Nasty. I got a gel manicure and everything is totally bleeding over my cuticles, in all directions (even the tips of my fingers). Plus, there’s visible imperfections (bumps that she tried to sand down but can still see). Looks like I did them myself. Nasty.

Yesterday I went in for a MUCH needed mani/pedi…basically what I needed was a change of atmosphere and to be catered to a bit, as I am a care giver so I’m constantly doling out care without it being replenished.
I was kindly greeted when I came in and was impressed with the overall feel and setup. The massage chairs were GREAT and I guess I came at a really great time because it was quiet and only had a few patrons (Tues 1:30p).
Holly did my manicure but stayed stationary on my left which means that while I didn’t really mind, I think she should have re-​positioned herself on my right when working on my right hand so that I didn’t have to stretch my arm across my body. but she was very sweet so I gave her a pass on that, plus, Sarah was busy working on my toes.
This «dual action» made for quicker service but was a bit confusing on the senses and at times was a tad stressful because I wasn’t sure which sensation to concentrate on or which direction to follow. I had the delicious waves of the chair kneading my back, but the filing, soaking, scrubbing, massaging and rotating got to be a bit busy and at times I couldn’t full relax.
The service was thorough and I only wish I had gone with the callous (rough heels) removing service for a dollar more but was a bit over whelmed and decided on the services excluding it. The paint jobs were acceptable, only a couple of times with my hands in the UV lite box, did I feel some burning on my nails… but I’m not sure if my hands were too far in. Also, I got a slight burn from the filing on the side of my left foot… aside from that, the atmosphere was pleasant and the technicians were sweet.
With having two technicians, I felt inclined to leave two tips on top of my bill so for a mani/​pedi/​foot scrub and gel polish, I left with a 60.00 charge. I would return, but I’m also open to trying other salons, first.

Time for me to actually give a review on LT Nail & Spa… if the price is too good to be true, well its obviously not gonna end up good. Came here to remove my old gel nail set and get a new manicure gel set. Hmmm after my fingers literally burned while they were taking it off with foil, I was a fool to think the manicure and new set would come out decent. I it took him literally only 2 mins to give me a manicure, then when he was applying the gel nail polish my fingers were also burning and felt irritated. My nails came out like someone has nicely put on polish then decided to step over my fingers. I was so upset with the outcome I asked him to just remove it. Yes, I had 2 sets of gel nails in one day. By the end of the day my poor finger nails looked like they had been thru hell… worst part they charged me for it rather than apologizing for not doing a decent professional job! If u can’t do gel… hmmm good piece of advice don’t offer the service at your salon!!!

The lady who did my nails was very friendly, however the quality of my manicure could have been better. I understand that the quality of the nail polish was probably not the best, but she didn’t put enough coats and the polish was totally see-​through and completely uneven. I kept asking her to fix a few things, but gave up after seeing that the manicure wasn’t getting much better.
My friend was also getting her nails done at the same time. She got a shellac gel manicure and the lady doing her nails set the nail dryer so high that the polish was actually melting off. They got so ruined that my friend just gave up on it and asked for a French manicure. But she still had to pay a partial amount for the melted off gel.
Our manicures were not worth the price. This place is more expensive than the usual places we go to, but it was the most conveniently located one.
Needless to say, we haven’t been back since.

I came here for a pedicure with a couple friends. I had called ahead a couple days later and said the three of us were coming at 3pm on Monday; i didn’t need to because it was completely empty when we walked in, but they were still expecting us.
It’s not that nicely decorated, and the polishes are a little old (but not a bad selection). However, they did a great job. I got a callus remover pedicure ($ 22), very nicely done. The massage chairs were good, it was quiet, and the nail techs were nice. They did charge a dollar extra for the file and buffer, but my friends and I didn’t mind. My friend got french tips on her toes — the nail tech worked on them painstakingly and they ended up really cute. I had accidentally scratched the polish before it dried and they were very kind about fixing it. My other friend got a pedicure and then got powder acrylics (i think $ 36 total) and they looked fantastic. They didn’t rush us, and let us sit in chairs with fans over our wet nails for a while. Its not very fancy, but definitely worth coming back. It seemed like they started to get busy around 4pm, so I would head over there before then.

My girl got a mani/​pedi. Everything was pretty standard and the ladies took care of her nicely, and she particularly enjoyed how they hardened the nail polish in a UV light. The only problem with this is that once the polish hardens it chips off big time unless you get a coating which ups the price of a mani/​pedi pretty high. Prices are pretty standard and what you would expect from this type of nail place, but don’t be skimpy on them or your nail polish will chip! Just go deluxe or up!

My friend told me to pick a place to get pedicures, so I checked on Unilocal and L&T Nails & Spa looked promising. We checked out the prices upon walking in and a regular pedicure is $ 16 while a deluxe spa pedicure is $ 30. Since my friend was treating me for my birthday, she chose the deluxe spa pedicure for the both of us. (Meanwhile, a basic manicure is $ 10 and the deluxe spa manicure is $ 20. They also had an extensive list for waxing.)
The deluxe spa pedicure included a callous remover, a citrus-​smelling scrub and a minty mask for the legs, and a weird gel rub for legs and feet. It was an overall good experience and I would go back to try out a manicure.
Pros: Paid attention to detail, comfortable massaging spa chairs.
Cons: Broken English (I couldn’t understand what they were saying most of the time, and I’m Asian!), not too much of a nail polish selection.

I decided last-​minute that I wanted a manicure, and after reading the reviews I thought I’d try it out. I gave them a call, and the guy there told me I could come in. Sure, I had to wait like 20 minutes when I got there, but who told me to want to wait until last-​minute?
I think a lady named Tina (? or something that sounded like that) did my nails. She did a pretty good job of shaping it, and the french manicure she gave me was very meticulous and she really paid attention to detail.
I ended up getting the soak-​off-​gel polish, which she said would last me up to three weeks. Well, after week 2 the polish was still super shiny, but I can see that after three weeks the polish was still intact. The only problem is that my nails were growing out, so it needed to be redone. I decided I just wanted to take it off by myself, and boy did it take some effort to soak it off! Maybe I should just go to the salon next time and have them remove it for me.
Overall, the quality of work was good. I don’t mind that they make you pay an extra buck or two for your own nail file and buffer. It’s cleaner that way, and it’s only a couple of bucks (just bring it back with you next time and you won’t be forced to buy a new one again).
The only bad thing was that I don’t think her English was all that great, so despite the few times I told her I wanted glitter tips on my french manicure, she kept saying okay though she didn’t quite understand. So I ended up with plain french manicure with no glitter… :| I guess I should have made sure she understood. But I was satisfied with the quality of her work, so I still tipped her well.
