The Nail Shop

Well — they have officially closed, but the wife (Chandara) of the husband (Dan) and wife «Nail Shop» team has gone on to open her own booth at the Bliss Aveda Salon in Corona at Cajalco Crossings.
Let me start by saying that I have been going to Dan for the last three years. I have other friends who also go to both Chandara and Dan respectively. When I heard they were closing I almost cried because absolutely NO ONE in Riverside or Corona has done my acrylics (pink & whites) to the perfection that they have. They gave personalized service and were not running a «nail factory» getting people in and out of chairs as fast as possible.
I have just had my first visit with Chandara at Bliss and I absolutely love her work as much as Dans. This is first rate nail service — it is not the cheapest — nor the most expensive — but you will get what you want and your nails and/​or feet will be awesome. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want, Chandara is an artist, and she will take wonderful care of you!!!

Words can’t even describe how happy I am with my nails! I am the pickiest person when it comes to the shape and overall look of my nails. I’m not afraid to admit that I want them perfect & exactly to my liking. I have been to shop after shop in 2 different states and finally have found the technician for me. Her name is Chandara. She is phenomenal at what she does and is genuinely kind. When going into an establishment for services, it can become difficult to get what you want if there is a language barrier. You won’t have a difficult time here. I’m so thrilled to have found my shop home. I shared with her what I was looking to achieve as well as a picture and she ensured me that she would try her best. She outdid herself! I came in with acrylics that looked rushed-​yellowed, thick and wide. I walked out with beautiful and natural looking acrylics. If you’re looking for a new spot, give her a try. Im positive you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Chandara!

I Got my gel manicure done four days ago and they look like hell. I noticed a blackening of the gel color the day after the manicure and it has gotten worse since then. My sister got the same color and her manicure still looks good and was done by the female. My manicure was done by a male in the shop. I don’t remember his name. He was nice, but my $ 30 gel manicure looks disgusting and is less than a week old. I don’t plan on going back but, if i do i will make sure i have an appt with the female. I suggest others who plan to visit the shop do the same.

Chandara did my nails and was very friendly. I have been there twice now. The first time I went I got a new pink and white set put on plus a pedicure. Chandara did an excellent job on my nails! I was so pleased with the way they came out. I forgot the name of the woman who did my pedicure but she did a great job as well and it has been 3 weeks and my pedicure still looks perfect. I would highly recommend the nail shop. They are a small shop so I would recommend making an appointment ahead of time to insure they can fit you in. Also make sure to bring cash or your check book as they do not take credit or debit cards.

Chandara is very nice and does a great job on my nails, but the shop only accept cash so stop by your bank before stopping by as well I recommend making an appointment, it’s worth it.

Chandara is excellent! My nails never lift and always look great. She is conscientious and remembers the way I like my nails (not a lot of white). Several shades of «pink» some much more natural than I’ve seen elsewhere. Need an appointment though, but I prefer that and then I know what I will get.

Chandra did such an amazing job on my nails. I haven’t been happy with any nail place since moving to corona… a friend recommended her and I’ve finally found my new nail lady!

In from out of town and found this shop on Unilocal.Walked in without an appointment. Very friendly and courteous staff. Nails were great and priced very reasonably! Definitely recommend this spot and would return!

Tried this place out today. Really great service, very nice owners. Did a wonderful job and they were really well priced. Definitely coming back in 2 weeks when my gels need some TLC!
***only take cash or check***

Discovered The Nail Shop a few months ago and I will not go anywhere else. Very easy to get an appointment. The is no communication problems at all. Prices are exceptional.

Poor customer service. No one was available to greet customers when they walk in nor did any of the employees care that a potential new customer walked thru the door. When I took it upon myself to ask if anyone was available for a mani/​pedi, the answer was simply «no». Conversation over. No one attempted to offer a time frame of when they would be able to help, just «no». I walked out and will not be back.

Great nail shop! Pricing here is almost unbeatable– I had gotten a gel polish for only $ 15 (no manicure)
The girl who worked on me– Mai was extremely gentle and shaped my nails perfectly! She took absolute care while removing my previous gel polish and no unnecessary buffing at all! Also, she took the time to repair 4 nails– not shortcuts with dabbing soem acrylic powder on.
Will be back next time! :)

I’m from San Diego, but stayed in Corona for a long weekend. I needed to get a pedicure today and since I wasn’t from the area, I accessed my trusty Unilocal app to find a reputable place for me to go. Without reading any of the reviews, I narrowed my search down to The Nail Shop, based on its star rating and closeness to where I was.
I couldn’t find the shop at first because its storefront didn’t face the parking lot. Some signage with arrows pointed me in the direction and I was quite pleased with what I found, a small, but clean and organized shop. It was certainly not the chaotic nail salon commonly seen in San Diego.
After Chandora was done with my pedicure, I had to ask her to repeat the price three times because I couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was. She was gentle, quick, yet meticulous. My feet felt baby smooth and the polish looked flawless. She did a better job than the places down where I live and it cost me about $ 10 less! This place deserves their current 4 ½ star rating and I’m definitely coming back, when I’m in Corona and in need of another pedicure.

I am very happy to find a nail salon that does such a terrific job! They are happy to listen to requests and customize the experience, which is really what it’s all about…

Only complaint about this place is they don’t have massage chairs. They only vibrate. Let’s face it, sometimes you wanna go just for the chair.

The two stars are for the friendliness of the ladies. That’s all tho. Let’s start with the greeting. No one there when the guy seen me he didn’t say a word. I’m guessing this is Dan from the reviews. Idk tho. His wife came and sent me back while she finished with a sales person. She was already working on another lady and seemed to be almost done. Ok no problem. Well, she briefly washed done tools not her hands. :(I’m trying not to be OCD so I let this slide. Then we talk. I was reading on web md you should switch your nails every 6 – 8 weeks for health issues. Also I didn’t like the white tips any longer. So she explained that they looked good. Very new. It would be hard to take off. Then started clipping away. I asked for it so my bad. Anyways they took long to get off. She explained it would so no big deal. She was super nice. I have to say that again.
So on to putting the nails back on. They look bad to start bc they just got removed in a hurry. They look so unfinished. If I’m paying for a full set and a pedi I expect a manicure also. I guess that’s not the case. Okay. My nails need to be trimmed around the nail cleaned up. But hey I now know that’s not what getting a set is about. As my pictures show they look horrible. :(Black all around my nails and fingers. You can see my real nails under the fake and they look scratched. Ugh just really bad. Under the nails is a bunch of stuff I cannot get off. I’m hoping to have time after work to get them cleaned up. If not off to pay someone to clean up my nails. 54.00 plus tip to go again in the same weekend is gonna really piss me off! I will not be back. I really like the lady just think time was a issue and my nails show this. Oh yeah on the pedi I thought you soaked feet in a salt or idk what the blue stuff is. All I got was warm water. The end very very sad day for me losing hope in finding a good spot. I guess back to the first one. Getting over charged was crappy but the job was on point!

Iv been coming here since I was 16! I always leave satisfied. Dan is quick and a natural. His wife is great with designs (chandara). I highly recommend this nail salon!

I visited this shop for the first time last week to do an acrylic fill and pedicure and had a good overall experience. The shop was neat and tidy and the staff very friendly. My nails came out clean and pretty with a cute french tip at a perfect short length… very pleased! The pedicure was AWESOME… the lady who did my feet really pampered me and took her time to make sure it was perfect in the end. Im a huge fan of those massage spa chairs, which they don’t have, but after the awesome foot pedicure I received… I’m willing to go without it. The chairs they do have were still very comfy, so not bad at all. I will definitely be going back! They took great care of my daughter too… she had some pretty bad cuticles (nail bitter) and after her mani/pedi…had very pretty hands and feet!

I’ve been to many nail salons in Corona and have had a hard time finding one that fit my budget and that I loved. I finally found it !!! It’s a small place so you do need an appt, although you could get lucky just walking in. But there’s only 2 – 3 people that work there so I highly recommend making an appt.
They are very friendly and chatted with me the entire time. I will defiantly be going back.

Well here’s my review :)
Short Summary: This is the best nail salon I’ve ever been to. 25 bucks for colored acrylics that look amazing. Seriously, go here just be sure to call for an appointment first. The owner is sooooo genuine.
Longer More Detailed Summary: I was having a hard time figuring out which nail salon I wanted to go to because my old salon charged 50 for acrylics! Ridiculous! I walked into this place 30 mins after they opened and there was not a soul, thank goodness because I didn’t make an appointment. Which I will be definitely doing next time. The owner did my nails and it was a huge breath of fresh air because she actually spoke english. She was super nice and talked to me the whole entire time while she was working on my monster energy green nails! She took her time and did a fantastic job. My acrylics are super thin not big and bulky like other places and all this for 25 bucks… Best salon I’ve been to I’m definitely going back. They only have three workers so make sure to make an appt before. Super nice! :)))
