T & L Nails & Spa

While getting a GEL manicure, the manicurist noticed that there was something wrong with the gel she was using… but she kept working. When she finished there were dark streaks on my nails most likely bc the product she was using was too old. The owner said I had to pay for it or wait and have them redone. I went back to have them redone and the different gel I chose started chipping two days later. I paid a cheap price but in actuality it was a waste of money. This business lacks quality… you can tell just from the lack of upkeep. The price seems affordable but you’re paying a lot for products that are old and expired.

My nails turned out great but the service was horrible I ended up finishing my own gel nails.

I got a pink and white full set by Amber and she did a wonderful job! She was very gentle with my cuticles without me even having to ask. She also listened to what I wanted. I have a job where I type a lot so I need my nails short (I can’t tell you how many time I say I want them short and other places don’t listen) and she did exactly that. I didn’t feel intimidated to ask for them shorter or to round a corner a little more. She was also very friendly. No awkward silences here. The prices are very reasonable. Very very satisfied customer and I will definitely be back for fills or other stuff.

Such an amazing place. John did a fantastic job on my acrylics and I’m beyond satisfied with the service provided. I’m always hesitant to try new places, but the Unilocal reviews were so great that I had to try T & L Nails. Definitely glad I did.

Great prices! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I came here with my mom, we hadn’t gotten our nails done at a salon in a long time because our last few experiences were horrendous. John did my acrylics exactly how i wanted them! As thin as i like them and just the shape i wanted. My mom and i are very picky (she’s worse really) and even she was super happy with John’s acrylic job. Definitely coming back. And i absolutely forgot to ask the name of the girl who did my pedicure but i was absolutely satisfied with the results! Absolutely recommend it!

John is the very best at doing nails — love this guy! I like a natural look, which in my opinion is the hardest to create, but not for John!
And then there is Mimi — who does a fantastic job at pedicures. My feet are as smooth as a baby’s after she performs her handiwork!

I went in around noon the place we empty so I was a little concerned, but every thing turned out well. The ladies were very nice and included me in the conversation. I got a gel mani[25] and a pedi[22] both came out really nice. My only complaint is that you can’t add a tip to your card, so I had to go to the liquor store to get cash back. I’ve been looking for a new nail shop so I hope I’ve found it!

My mom and I have been coming here ever since we moved out to riverside a few years back. They do such a great job and for a reasonable price. We usually get gel nails by Amber but I switched it up and got acrylics this time by John and I LOVE them. I asked him to do a slight flare and they’re perfect! Gel $ 25 and my full set was $ 23.

Everyone was so nice and friendly here! They do a great job and actually take their time! John is the best for Gel Acrylics he does an amazing job! There’s one lady in here that is so funny and is always cracking jokes also. Very comfortable environment.

So I found this hidden gem in a little plaza right next to the Galleria. I got a mani and pedi from a sweet, funny lady named MiMi. She did a great job on cutting, cleaning my cuticles and painting my nails. Will definitely be back!

I love this place! I go every two weeks for my pink & white fill. John is my manicurist and is excellent! There has been times where I would go four weeks without a fill and my nails would not lift and still I would get compliments! My mother in law recommended this place to me. I will not go anywhere else now because of john and his wife amber! You will not be disappointed! I find it funny when I read bad reviews on how the gel nail polish doesn’t last… Women forget that if you’re using your hands A LOT of course the gel won’t last…

I LOVE This Place Everyone Is Soo Nice and Friendly There So Welcoming
I’ve Been Comming Here For A Little Over A Month And They Haven’t Disappointed!

They do a great job at this nail salon. Very thorough and clean. I recommend this place to everyone. And the price is great if you come early. There’s an early bird special everyday until 11 am. Spa mani and pedi $ 21.

They do outstanding waxing here !! Eyebrows especially. Im never disappointed. Iv came here for a few years now. Tina’s Great and owner does a great job too.

This place is whatever’s it’s located in a ghetto shopping center, there ok on pedicures but on gel nails not it all! I had no choice I was in need of s gel manicure. So I Unilocal this place and decided to give it a try. Since the regular nail salon I go are close on Sunday of the last weekend of every month. This John that ppl here brag about, he ain’t great it all my nails look crappy for the 4^th day & they look like two weeks old, imberessing. The nails looks crack ughh. Cheap polishes they use. If you want to get a good ass gel manicure I recommend K nails in Norco or Lindsey’s nails on Arlington they use the gel nails on these OPI LED Lamps. Which are faster 30 sec. drying & safe to use w/​o those harmful uv/​uva rays!

Great work! I got the gel nail polish and basic pedicure, amazing work. Very friendly.

I don’t normally try new nail places since the experience can be disappointing, but since Lindsey’s wasn’t open, I had no choice. Tina did my gel manicure, didn’t catch the name of the nice, older lady who did my pedicure, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did. They got all of the cuticle, without overkill, and shaped my nails the way I like. I’m pretty particular since I can do my own nails, but I will be back here.
The reviews are right about the cramped, low-​budget shopping plaza that’s difficult to get into if you’re not paying attention and only God knows what the smell is in the shop next door. I took off 1 star because they don’t have exact matches for regular polish versions of the gel polish, they didn’t put those gloves on to protect my hands from the light & I couldn’t add the tip to my card (if they changed that, they’d probably get tipped more).
Decent place, try it :)

Most Asian nail salons say it’s a 5 – 10 minute wait when in reality it’s 20 – 30 minute wait. Luckily, when I went in and asked for the wait, John gave me a realistic wait time.
I went in for a fill come to find out that my nails needed a replacement and I needed a full set because there was so much water that went into my nails. I guess the other place i went to in riverside did a terrible job. He did an incredible job shaping my nails into an almond shape.
I’m definitely coming back and asking for john

I went to this place to get just a gel polish change last month. The girl was nice enough and I actually had no problem with the polish change itself.
However, when she was finished she grabbed the RED nail polish off the station but the lid was not on. The polish hit the floor and splattered ALL OVER my brand new black and white maxi skirt, my toes, and legs. She cleaned the polish off my skin but it had ruined my pedicure which I had done somewhere else. I asked her to re-​paint my toes and she just ignored me. Not sure if she understood my question?
When I went to the front I was very upset and I told the manager I understand it was an accident but my skirt was ruined! I asked if the tech could atleast re-​paint my toes since they were now messed up from the splatter. She agreed and while she was re-​painting my toes the manager came by and said that they wouldn’t charge me for the toes?!? Gee really?! How nice of you!
She STILL CHARGED ME for the polish change. My skirt was brand new $ 30 and was destroyed plus I had to pay around $ 15-​$ 18 for the polish change. This was one of the WORST instances of customer service I have experienced. The tech did apologize but the manager could care less. Never going back!

Came here based on the reviews and I’ve been here for nearly a year! The staff is friendly and always takes my appointments when I call. Jon does a great job with my acrylics and always knows what I like!
