Solar Nails & Spa

This isn’t the shop I normally go to but I came here for convenience. Currently getting my nails done and at first when I walk in they say they can do both mani and pedi. As soon as they start scrubbing my feet and see I have acrylics she tells me they don’t have time to do my hands wtf kind of crap is that? They don’t close for another hour. Never coming back here ever again… EVER.

I absolutely love their pedicures. ‘Tall Tina’ is the only one I let do my pedis. The pedicure offers a mix of a sugar scrub on your legs followed by a clay mask and hot towels. So very relaxing. For a full set and fill, you will want Sandy or Ruby. Both are incredibly good.

Absolutely enjoy their work. Been coming to Sandy for years now. As I tend to adventure off and try new nail salons, I always end up with regret and call Sandy who whips my nails back to life. Feeling extra girly and feminine when I leave here. The prices I must say are quite reasonable and competitive. This small nail salon is by far the best in the Rowland heights/​wc area. As most nail salons dilute the Polishes beyond belief, solar nails takes care of thier polishes and replaces as soon as needed. Make an appointment prior as they do get busy near the weekend.
Loyal customer,
D.

I’ve been getting my nails done here for years. My nails always last up to 3 weeks and they always look great.

I love getting my nails done there. My gel nails can last up to 3 weeks. I have been going for over 3 years now and I love it. Very clean and professional!

Awesome nails spa. Specially Sandy takes good care of me all the time. Very affordable and they did a very good job.
From nails to waxing and even extended eye lashes. I feel so pampered and refresh every time I come here.
Make sure you call for appointment though. Because they are very busy. But they will try to accommodate you as much as they can.

Warning to any nails costumers,
My first visit to the solar nails. I give them a thumbs down do not waste your money or your time at this place,
My server was Cindy I do not recommend getting nails done by her, very rude does not care about her work or integrity.
She had the nerve to charge me $ 60 after all that, sorry your Unilocal reviewers.
Bad warning,

service is terrible i made an appointment and they made me wait an hour when i arrived
i got a full set and it broke in a day ! and i got my armpits waxed and it was not clean at all
definitely isn’t worth your money or time

Solar nails spa horrible horrible customer service Sandy likes to get into arguments with customers went for gel nails within 4 day time frame of getting gel nails done on second day nails polis was chipping went twice back to back to get nails taken care of when she told me it’s because my hands get sweating I told her never had this problem before normally nails will last up to 3 weeks with no problems maybe it’s the cheap nail polish. When you work with customers first thing they need to learn it’s to listen to customers concerns or questions never never will go back they don’t deserve not even one star

Came in for Pedi and to get my daughter’s eyebrow waxing. Well we didnt stay. We walked in stood for 5 min and then sat for another 20 min before someone came and asked what we wanted. I guess I could of stayed longer bit one of the customers get giving me the stink eye.

Decided to try this place on Sunday to get a full set. I didn’t wait long since there was only 1 other customer getting her nails done. The girl I got sits in the back directly across from the last spa chair, but I don’t know her name.
She asked me what I wanted & I told her a pink & white set. Then she said something about me wanting pink & white to another girl in another language (which is very rude when you have customers). I asked her what was wrong with me wanting pink & white and she told me that it was weird that I would want pink & white. (Strike #1)
I usually get my nails short since I do a lot of typing for work. She didn’t want to cut my nails shorter because «it won’t look good with the pink & white». I had to have her cut them like 4 times since each time she only took a tiny little sliver off (my nails are still too long but I got tired of having to ask). — strike #2
She did an okay job on my nails; a few of the white tips are crooked, & almost all of them have weird edges from where she didn’t scrape the excess white to form the arch off correctly. My nails are also very gritty — which, in thinking about it now, probably explains why she pushed so hard for me to get the gel top coat.
When I came back from washing my hands she was already set up to put the gel on top. I asked her if it was extra and she said it was the same price ($ 35) I asked her why my nails were $ 35 when the pricing menu (both hanging on the wall + the to go versions) say a pink & white full set is $ 30. She said «What? Let me see» so I showed her the to go menu & she said «oh I didn’t know.» Then she said something to the other girl in their language, then told me that she said it was ok. I asked her what was ok & she told me that my nails were $ 30. Then she continued trying to put the gel on my nails & I pulled my hands away & asked if it was extra & she said it was only $ 5 more but that it would look better with my pink & white. I told her (again!) I didn’t want the gel if it was extra since I have it at home. She finally understood & put the regular top coat on my nails & sent me to the dryer. (strike #3 — I don’t like pushy nail techs, I’m paying for a service please just do what I ask & don’t try to give me something I don’t want)
She also shredded my cuticles with the drill & got a lot of excess powder around my nails that I’m still trying to get off.
I’ve been getting my nails done for A LOT of years so I know what quality is. Salons either have quality products with crappy technicians or vice versa. It’s hard to find a happy medium :(I guess I will just have to keep searching.
All in all, I would NOT recommend this salon to anyone for full sets. I have not tried anything else there, although when I was there another customer came in for eyebrow waxing & they looked really good when she was done (different tech tho).

Came here for the first time, had a gel manicure (sandy) and pedicure (Tina) both ladies did a wonderful job I think I found my new nail place. The gel manicure so far has lasted a week not like other places I had the polish peel off the next day. So yeah I highly recommend this place

I wanted to give them 1 more star, but I just couldn’t. The lady who did my pedi was awesome. Friendly, happy and did a great job, but the lady who did my mani, not so much. I had to ask her to do a few things she forget to do and when I messed up my nail while drying… She didn’t seem so happy to redo it and on top of that, when she redid it, she didn’t do a very good job. This location is very close to my friends house so we may check it out again. They don’t have a very good selection of colors and that sucked. Otherwise, the place is clean and the people seem very friendly, but it was just A-​ok for me.

New clean and great service here! GREAT new local place. awesome job. They are very sweet too :)

I had my PEDI done here since they open early 2012, those techictian here are very professional in what they doing, the service is really good and price is reasonable compare to other shop around in this area. All the Lady work there is friendly specially the Manager… Sandy she is so sweet and care for her products. I buy a gift certificate for my MOM and brought her here for her Nail. She Love it !!. I would highly recommend you this Nail Salon.

Terrible service, rude workers and they make you wait FOREVER! It took me almost 3 hours to get a regular pedicure. Take your business up the street to the place next to Ami sushi. You won’t regret it.

This place used to be a hair salon. It recently opened and being a local gave it a try. They do really GOOD nails. I ONLY get gel nails (which last longer) and I am always please when I come here. The girls make sure you get what you want. A new set of nails with gel costs me less than $ 30, which is GOOD! I have done pedis too but never any aesthetics. It’s located in a busy shopping center popular among locals. There’s a a beauty place next door and a cute lil fashion store in the same shopping center. I have been able to get an outfit, my nails done, and lashes all at once on days where I didn’t have enough time. I would def recommend giving this place a try. :)

i wouldnt even give this place 1 star but no stars isnt a choice. I came into this place 2 weeks ago to get a new set and i just havent had the time to put my review up but DO NOT COME HERE.
first of all, the lady had filed my nails unevenly and my left hands nails were noticably shorter which i told her uh look at my nails this hand is way longer can you fix this? she said yeah sure sure. what she ended up doing was adding EXTRA POWDER to the nail making it longer which i thought okay thats a little better she just needs to thin it out. and so i told her to. yeah yeah sure sure. it looked thinner so i was okay with it. 1 week later im examining my nails and they are starting to grow out and i start to see that the powder was still EXTREMELY THICK. needless to say i was not happy about this. the nail is so thick that its a good 4 mm THICK. its disgusting and bulky but the lady had filed the ends so thin i couldnt tell until now.
ive just spent the last hour and a half cutting and filing this HORRIBLE set off of my nails. do NOT come here if you want a quality full set done. just go up the street to exotic nails they do good work and have nice designs too.
