Mon Ami Nails & Spa

It’s hard to complain about a $ 20 gel manicure, plus $ 3 for French tip.
Tina was my manicurist, who doesn’t speak much English. She was very nice, but she did use a battery powered nail file which cut my cuticles and made me bleed in 2 areas.
After she had cut my cuticles and filed the tops of my nails, she did not ask me to wash my hands. She went ahead and started to use the gel polish… I didn’t think much of it at the time, but when I got home I realized that you can feel and see the little bumps on half of my nails from the flakes…
She did a decent job (photos posted) and tried to fix the polish on my thumbs which were uneven.
The shop itself seems pretty old, with random stone and flower décor; the materials they use look clean but very used…
Overall, the price is appropriate for the service. I appreciated that I was able to add the tip to the credit card.

They are very busy, most of the time. Pretty much the only place I do go to, the dude who works there is a doll and he’s pretty amazing at what he does. I definitely suggest going there

Good job and it didn’t hurt. its hard to find a manicurist that does a good job and that’s gentle also very easy to communicate thanks for the good experience kelvin! Affordable as well will return :)

Calvin is awesome. Can’t say the same for the pedicure ladies. They are inconsistent. Too bad because I like getting both feet and hands done in the same place.

Joy did my nails today. I think she may have a nervous disorder. When I left, I noticed a huge clump of acrylic hanging off one of my nails. She was shaky/​jittery and very unsteady. My nails were not painted evenly (I get gel nailcolor). There are parts where the polish is lighter than the rest of the nail. My hands were in the UV more times than I can count, a few times just my thumbs only. I was not given the opportunity to wash my hands after the filing. My nails don’t have a natural curve– the acrylic is lumped near my cuticle. My nails were not buffed after the acrylic. The filing job was shabby. I am new to the city and finding my new nail shop is obviously going to be a challenge. I will NOT be returning to this shop, even though it’s right down the street from my new home.

If I could give this place negative stars I would! So. I walked in today with no appointment but they said the wait for a gel mani would be 10mins. No problem. After waiting 20 mins I asked how much long again they said ten mins. After waiting 45 mins with my toddler they finally are ready for me. They lady is super rude along with the man at the front desk. She also filed my nails with the Dremel nail file instead of trimming my cuticles. This cause my nails to bleed. I left the salon with raw cuticles. If that wasn’t bad enough as she was painting my nails I realized my color was still see through after 3 coats & was no where near the color I choose. So I asked her nicely to do a top color of a brighter purple so it actually looked like I was wearing nail polish. It seemed like they added water to the polish to make it last longer for them. But she clearly had a problem with that. And it took her over an hour and 15 minutes just to give me a basic manicure. I would not recommend this place.

I went in today to get a mani pedi. Let me tell you the service here was absolutely fabulous. I went in after a long day and was just trying to relax and get pampered. The nail techs here did just that. I live in Santa Barbara and came to visit my brother for his high school graduation. In Santa Barbara a pedicure alone is $ 45! So I was soooo happy to walk out of this place with a Mani and pedi for only 26! Not only was it less expensive, but I had such a great experience. The lady I had massaged my legs and hands and I got the basic mani $ 10 and basic spa pedi $ 16 and she used warm towels in between to keep my legs and hands warm, and she did a great job on my nail polish. Absolutely fantastic service! Giving this place 5 starts because I truly feel like they deserve it! Keep it up (:

I recently moved to the Hemet area and was anxious about finding a place to do my nails, both hands and feet. I’m ashamed to admit, but I have toenail fungus. I made sure to call ahead of time to inform them that I have the condition, and they assured me, not to worry, that they thoroughly sanitize products after use. I thought this would add to the nervousness of a new nail salon experience, but they treated me with dignity, made me feel like there was hope for my horrific piggy nails. I feel lucky that my first experience was great. Tina did my nails, I received a manicure with gel and a regular pedicure. I appreciated that she didn’t push to get more than I asked for. She presented different options, but when I mentioned what I wanted and that being it, she respected my wishes. She made sure after every stage of the manicure and pedicure process that I was satisfied. I’m usually chatty, but I went with Tina’s flow, she wasn’t, but she was thorough and checked in with me enough, which made me comfortable, as I would chat to try and be comfortable. The price was reasonable and the experience was relaxing.

Started going back here after a long break. We always make an appointment and they have been better about sticking to it. Our experience has improved.

I love this salon they are very good to me and all my friends. Very Clean and have a lot of choices.

So happy that I switched from my old previous Nail Salon to Mon Ami, after great reviews and my phone call to them swayed to give them a try. I was taken aback from the second I entered. Not only is the décor great, its clean and staff is friendly. Unlike other places this place really makes you feel welcomed without over doung it. I had an appt with Claudio who happened to be finishing up with his other client. I wasnt greeted with the, It’ll be 15 mins” thing other salons say. The best part was when I showed him photo of what I wanted, he didnt hesitate he was confident and started on me immediately. The only problem and it wasnt really a problem was that the polish was almost not going to cover the job. He promised to give me a couple of coats once the order came in. Over all I was happy and will be returning. Too many other things I want to try.

Just so so. Kinda fast, still had dead skin on my feet, thou I got the super pedi.
Spa chairs were really old and lost its spring, so the massage function kinda hurt in the chair I was steered to. Technician was nice enough, but sort of week in her massage as well. I would try another nail salon if I lived in this town.

Wow… never double-​dip a stick. I have done a brazilian bikini wax and Mon Ami is efficient and friendly. Of course there is some pain, but just think of the results…

Love this place !! Great service, great staff at a terrific price!!! I always get a good pedicure or nail fill that I am happy with. Been coming here for years.

Horrible experience! I requested that I have flowers with small stone in the center and nail woman said my hand was too small…
Wouldn’t add a third coat like I requested then there was fuzzy strings of cotton under the gel that she insisted was just my nail!
I asked to speak to the person on charge and they didn’t want to get him (guy with long hair) came over and fixed my nails.
Still charged me full price. NOT COMING BACK HERE!!! Bad customer service. My flowers look like shit. Wouldn’t even give them one star but it’s forced.

After trying a few nail salons, I decided to try one more Unilocal reviewed nail salon. Mon Ami is wonderful. Kevin is a true sculptor, he can do anything, as I have witnessed from his other clients. I have small hands, I asked for a full set of pink & whites to fit my natural nails. He did an exquisite job. And all the ladies are great. Try this Salon and you will not be sorry.

I came because of all of the great reviews… bad idea… The girl next to me got an amazing job done on hers by the younger male… but the girl who did mine was in a rush, and I literally have never had such a bad job on the paint. ever, anywhere. .There are bubbles in my nails and they look horrendous. .so mad

Kalvin has been doing my nails for almost 3 years They have never been the same twice, I don’t even have to tell him what I want Not only is he friendly to be around so is his staff As long as he is around I’ll never go anywhere else I have told my friends and family about him
If anyone is looking for a great salon and great guy go see Kalvin

They are very friendly there. I can call and get an appointment sometimes the same day. Helen Does my nails. She does a great job.

Nice place and the owner Kalvin is amazing and does great nails… Love It…
