Day Nails Spa

One of nail was hurting so I searched around for a quick mani. Called in the morning and luckily they squeezed me in. Quynh welcomed me in and directed to her station.
From previous experiences, I just do simple mani till I can go back to my location. Told her I just wanted a simple mani with no color. She took her time doing my cuticles while we had small talk.
One of the things that weirded me was her comment on my hands. She was saying it’s working hands… I said yes «I do the dishes, cook and cleaning. I’m constantly washing my hands.»
Overall decent service but my hand still looks like she didn’t do much. I have a bad habit of peeling if there is anything hanging.

5 ***** service in everything from friendliness, sanitation, nail polish selection, massage chairs, all around great service.
1) Customer Service is awesome. Anne and the other ladies knows how to greet and treat customers. Anne knows all her regular customers by name. When I call to make an appt and she knows who I am and knows I’m looking for Tai.
2) They sanitize all equipment.
3) They just got new messaging chairs that make you feel like your in heaven.
4) I recommend Tai she always does a superb job at my pedicure and manicures. She takes her time and always gives me a wonderful message.
5) The prices are a tad bit higher than other salons but you will get what you pay for — 5 star quality!
6) Nail polish selection is excellent of superior quality. The polish has lasted me up to 3 weeks. Of course the gel last longer… my nails always outgrow the polish.
7) Ambiance is relaxing… soft music plays, not like the common nail salon where the workers are speaking to each other loudly.
8) Anne also does threading, waxing, and facials. Got my first threading by Anne today… talk about a perfectionist! I use to do waxing but I realized some years back my skin is to sensitive for that. Although she always did a nice job.
Customers: Don’t forget to give a good tip as they deserve it.
If only I could make it to this location more often. Sorry fellow Unilocalers I should have done this review years ago.

This place it’s the best! They make you feel in paradise, facials pedicures, nails, waxing… God I only wish they would do your hair too. It’s worth every penny, don’t even think it’s too pricey, these girls take their time taking care of you and make worth EVERY PENNY. This is what I miss the most about LA county. Especially when it’s so close to my family’s place. It’s so cozy and friendly, they do every design you want or they can be creative and do something amazing! I got my mom and my sister addicted to this place too. Like no lying when ever I’m visiting I would go to this place like twice a week. I wouldn’t get any kind of treatment anywhere else till I come back!

I love this place! Always come here for my pedicures and they have such a nice and friendly staff. It’s a family business so they really care. They also got NEW massage chairs! So awesome and massage amazing!!! They take their time and price is right for the quality. Highly recommend this place.

I have been going here for years! I live in Burbank and drive all the way to el monte just to have my nails done.

This is my third time visiting this place. Quyen did my pedicure and Thay did my manicure. They are very friendly and did an excellent detailed job on my nails. I appreciate it when manicurist take their time to do a thorough job to cut and clean the dead skin off. The entire time I felt well taken care of. The spa pedicure includes the spa chair and foot scrub and a regular manicure total $ 34. Great price for the extreme detail and cleanliness.

Best spa pedicure I’ve ever had. PERIOD. (Keeping in mind I don’t get mani and pedi very often but will often spring for the deluxe version when I do.) Callus removal and scrub was extremely thorough. Massage was nice. As others have stated, very clean. Owner offered a recommendation for better nail polish color combo. Nail technician was very quiet and professional. Would definately return.

Came into to get new set of gels yesterday and loved the color that Sunny chose for me! I orginally picked a pink shade but when she checked it out she thought I might not like it because it’s more orangey/​coral color and i wanted pink. So she chose shade #344 which is a light bright pastel pink color. very cute and compliments my light skin color. I also chose a gold glitter to put on my ring finger but the color came out yellow than gold…
so they have lots lots lots of colors to choose from that you cant make up your mind! but some of the colors do not look exactly like the ones on display so be careful and choose a second one just in case.

I stumbled upon Day Nails when I first moved to El Monte. Everyone was really nice. The shop was very clean and the ladies very friendly. Didn’t go back for a month or so and when I returned Anne greeted me by my first name! Needless to say I’ve been a customer for 7 years and recommend Day Nails to everyone.

It’s kinda hidden you really have to keep your eyes peels from the street or you’ll miss it. Came in as reviews and pics looked good and place seemed clean. We got what is arguably the best service we’ve ever experienced in the El Monte area. The ladies that work here are not yelling across the room to each other, and many regulars seemed to be coming in even for an early Wednesday afternoon. There was soft yoga like music playing in the background and the whole atmosphere was relaxing. Prices are also competitive. Highly recommend.

I was impressed with this place. Called ahead for a pedicure on a holiday Monday afternoon. There was friendly staff there to greet us. I had a nice technician who took her time and was very thorough with my pedicure. No cuts or incessant chatter. Just a nice, thorough job for a fair price. I’m pleased and will return here.

I’ve been going to this salon for several years now. The ladies here are always cheery & pleasant. They take their time when they are working on my Manicure & Pedicure. Conversations with them are always funny. Turns out that they are very much a bunch of foodies!
As always, they would ask for you to sign in & check off what type of service you would like. Pick your polish colors & take a seat on one of the massaging chairs. I noticed after every client that leaves, they would sanitize & scrub the basin clean. It’s nice to see that it’s kept clean & sanitized, ready for the next client.
Since it was a special day for me to get a Mani & Pedi, they paid extra attention when they were painting my toes & the Gel Nail Polish on my hands. They all wished me a Happy Birthday which was very nice of them. I feel loved at this salon! Thank You ladies!
Service = 5 Stars
Atmosphere = 5 Stars
Laughter = Priceless

First time I come here really nice place. I got a pedicure done really good job. The only thing that threw me off was the price. $ 22 for a pedicure. $ 6 for callus removal…

I’ve never had any complaints about this place and I’ve reccommended it to others before but today – literally right now while I’m Still waiting… I came to get a pedicure and I came in a few minutes before this other girl and it looks they all know her and she comes often and they put me in a chair and ive been waiting with my feet in the water for more than 30 minutes while they helped her first… not sure if I’ll come again for a while.

I’m new to the area and decided to try this place out BIG MISTAKE it took two hours for a regular pedi. I was waiting forever because one of the technicians decided to take a lady that had walked in after me (not that it was packed merely they just work real slow) once the owner told her i was first she merely shrugged & kept going the only reason why i didn’t leave is because my feet were already soaking. they take wayyyyy to long just to do an ok job two days later my polish is already chipped (by the way I made a Unilocal account just for this, that’s how upset I was)

I moved here almost a year ago and have been desperately trying to find a nail salon as good as the one in Whittier I used to go to. Seeing good reviews I decided to check this place out.
I called about an hour after they opened to see what the wait would be like. The lady told be to come right away. I got there literally 7 minutes later. I was sat right away but the technician wasn’t ready and had to put her iPad away and find all her items so she could start my nails. After about 5 minutes of me sitting down she started my nails. She was very gentle and definitely took her time to get everything right. One thing I can’t stand is when a technician uses their own nail to push back a customers nail. She did this the whole time and sometimes it really hurt! From there on out the whole process was very slow.
She got the length right and the shape was just ok but it took her over 2 hours to do my nails. It was just a full set, short length in my opinion, gel polish, and a design on each ring finger. It’s a pretty basic design too. (And compared to other salons there wasn’t a large selection of gel colors, not that I was given anyway). Although I thought it was nice work, it took way too long.
Once she was done I gave her a $ 5 tip and went up to pay. I nearly passed out when she said it was $ 46. From the price alone I will never come back to this place. I don’t mind paying good money for good work but $ 46 is insane. Mind you, the other place in Whittier charges $ 32 for the same thing, just as nice work and it takes half the time.
The three star review is because of the length of time and cost. If you don’t mind being there for a while and don’t mind passing a lot then it’s a decent place.

Was in the area waiting for traffic to die down so, I Unilocaled nail salons in the area and after reading the reviews, I decided day nails spa would be my choice.
Around 6 on a Monday, I was the only person in the place. So, of course, they were attentive.
I went in with my usual needs: white tip acrylics, French tip pedicure and eyebrow waxing.
After looking at my hands, one of the ladies convinced me that my nails were a good length for gel. I wasn’t convinced as I like my nails longer, she kept persisting that they could make it work. So I gave in.
They chipped like I knew the would 3 days later because I’m really rough with work. So partly my fault, I should stick with my instincts.
My pedicure (4 out of 5) no complaints, i was happy.

Finding a good nail spa is very difficult. I not only look for cleanliness, but also quality work, spa pedis, good customer service and color selection. In my opinion, Day Nail Spa fulfills all those requirements (Especially since recently, they added more gel colors!) It took a while to find a good place in the area after having moved nearby about a year ago, but finally after months and months of mediocre manis and pedis at other places, I finally found the place that I’m happy with.
Anne is very nice and practically remembers every one of her returning clients names! Sometimes the wait period varies especially when it’s difficult to foresee how many clients will walk in at any given moment, however, I usually show up bright and early in the morning and I’m usually the first one there… Even sometimes before the workers! But they’re always on time and I’m in and out in about an hour for a mani/​pedi or 1 ½ hours for a gel mani and pedi. They take their time, so make sure you’re not in a hurry and the prices are a tad bit higher than their competition, but in return, they do excellent work.
It’s too bad that soon I’ll be leaving the area once again and my search for a great nail place will continue elsewhere, but for all the others who are fortunate enough to be nearby or at least in the area, do yourself a favor and try this place out.

Its unfortunate that I have to write a poor review since the owner seemed so friendly over the phone. I made a reservation on Sunday for 5 mani/​pedis + eyebrow threading for the following Saturday. The owner said it was not a problem.
We arrived on time for our 2:30pm appointment to see that there were only 4 technicians working, and 3 of them already had clients-​and by the looks of it, had JUST started. They sat 3 of us in the spa chairs to soak our feet and started working on one while the other 2 sat and waited while their feet turned prune-​y. Our fifth member did not start until 3:30pm, a whole hour after our appointment time.
What’s the point of making an appointment (& well in advance, in my opinion) if you’re still going to have to wait one hour? and WHY WHY WHY would you schedule 5 mani/​pedis when only 4 technicians are working?!?
One word: unacceptable.
Our group didn’t finish up til around 430 and decided to skip the eyebrows and went over to Kaya instead where there was almost no wait at all, and we didn’t have to make an appointment.
Chairs are a little rundown, definitely have seen better.
Polish line is a little lacking — and I couldn’t open many of them myself cause they were so crusted from old polish.
Reason I even gave 2 stars — my technician (i forgot to get her name) was very friendly and talkative. When I accidentally scratched the polish on two of my fingers, she cleaned them up and re-​polished them without any complaints.

Ann is amazing! I take photos of everyone nails when I’m there. I’m a true fan! Her work is amazing! Give her a chance. She’s a hard working mother. Truly caring.
If you really want Ann to work on you. You will have to talk to her yourself because sometimes she is busy with other clients who made appointments. You may have to wait a while, but if you sign in and come back later she will guarantee you as long as you ask for her personally. She is a true angel sent from above.
