Rose Whittier Nails Spa

Overpriced. And all technicians are rude. Especially if you ask them to fix something you’re not happy with.

i have given this salon countless opportunities but their services remain very mediocre and i have the photos to prove it. every time i have gone, the job feels rushed. hence why every time i’ve gone i end up with a cut and a measly «sorry». luckily i’ve never experienced an infection but again, the nail technicians here work very fast which leaves you with a rushed manicure/​pedicure. the gel they use is very cheap and peels easily. the price is decent but i guess that’s why you get what you pay for.

I love Kim she’s the best, she fixed a mistake from someone else. Ask for her, she’s super sweet and patient.

This place is alright, Tiffany is the best out of everyone, there are a few that are great as well (I will update this review once I remember their names). Unfortunately, there are some that do a terrible job like Unilocalers have mentioned here, and I also will agree since I’ve had bad experiences before, but I made sure that they got the message that I would not work with them. I really liked how they put you in a spa chair if you do mani and pedi. Keep up the good work!

im so upset i tried giving em two more chances so i went to this nail place and i asked for my eyebrows to be waxed. sure they looked nice but they burned my skin omg they were swollen and ugly. second time i went for my mani and pedi again they looked nice. only thing is they charged my card twice. so thats bad and i gave em a chance i went Thursday i told em to be careful because i got burned at their place and gain i woke up with burned eyebrow lids or whatever. also i got a pedicure and idk what happened that my toe is swollen and has puss so sorry to say they lost me and my family. we wont be coming here again.

I recently just went there on Friday to get my eyebrows done. When I first got there, it was 10pm but still pretty busy. One of the ladies there helped me and was really nice. She told me that someone was going to help me in about 5minutes but it ended up being only 2minutes. My eyebrows came out nice but just a little too thin, the thing that I didn’t like was that while the lady was doing them, she was on her Bluetooth talking to someone the entire time. I honestly felt that she didn’t care about how my eyebrows were going to look. She was laughing, talking, and seemed a little distracted. Yes, they ended up looking nice, but she should work on her customer service considering that she did accidentally hit my eye with the waxing paper. Overall it was an ok experience, ⁴⁹⁄₅₀ chance that I’ll be back.

Been coming here for years. Can’t complain. They do get busy but that’s because they’re so good!!! Everyone is friendly and does good work! Prices are good!

I went here a couple of times and after getting screamed at for not liking the design on my toes I don’t think i’ll be back. Why should I pay for something that’s ugly? Rather do it myself

I’ve been going there for about 3 months now. I ussually get a pedicure because of my ingrown toenails-​if I have a pain free experience I will ask for the same person. Since their English is often very limited I will request the ussual girl and they appear to have understood me then they tell me to sit. Then whoever is prepping my water ussually gets really offended when I tell the girl I want to come over (This has happened 2x’s including today) and they make sure to tell me «Next time you say who you want» which I did/​do. Then they go in a rampage in their own language. No need to personalize it just accept it and move on.
Today they were out of control saying things I didn’t understand about me and the other girls looking at me and laughing. I asked her what did you say? There was either no reply or asked me what color I wanted. I asked her to reach for a different color that was right behind her and she kept telling me no the one you have is prettier. I asked her twice, she said something in another language and the other girls laughed.
In the end I did not tip because of her inappropriate behavior. She made yet another comment which made the others laugh. I left. I ussually tip because of their work but their attitude stinks and that’s the last time I spend money there. I asked where their supervisor was and she was not around so I decided to write this review.

Where is STATE BOARD when you need them!!! I will NEVER go back to this place, there are many things they do wrong!!! :
First, manicure and pedicure is suppose to last at least 45 minutes or more, this place is RUSHING you out within 30 min, because they do a half ass job!
I have thin nails, therefore; they should NOT use rough nail files on my nails, but they get MAD when I ask them not to.
When using the cuticle pusher, none of the women there know how to use it properly, nor do they care, they half ass the procedure.
They PULL AS THEY CUT THE CUTICLE, which is an improper way of cutting, and they end up cutting me each time!!! You are NOT SUPPOSE TO PULL!!!
They use the same rough plastic pumice stone on everybody. I DO NOT have rough feet, I’ve told the women NOT to be so rough because it hurt, yet they keep doing it, laugh and keep talking to their Asian friend across the way. RUDE
I watched every step they ALL made and they DO NOT STERILIZE THE TOOLS PROPERLY!!! I saw one of the workers finish with one customer, then RINSED the manicure/​pedicure tools WITH WATER ONLY, then she quickly moved onto the next customer.
They do not pay attention to anything, they’re too busy talking with their co-​workers (which is rude) and/​or asking me 20 personal questions as if they are my friends, NOT.
And last but not least, my nail polish FLAKED OFF completely 2 days later!!!

Totally waste off money & time! Went there for first time what a huge mistake! AMY did my mani-​pedi but i guess she was in so hurry! Cut my skin so many times! NEVER EVER GOING THERE! TOO BAD FOR BUSINESS!

First and LAST time I go here!!! My sister thought I pay to much at my usual nail place so she made an appointment for me. First I waited longer than what it took her to do my nails and I had an «appointment». She didn’t even clean up the gel she painted over my nail no clean up and no hand massage. Then my daughter wanted a certain design on her nail and it looked like my 5 year old did the design. When it was time to pay she insisted me to pay her I told her no I want to speak to the owner I guess she could tell by the look on my face I wasn’t happy. The owner and her started talking in there language that I was to picky and gave me back $ 2 wtf, oh and I told her to take out my daughters design and just paint it one color. You pay cheap u get a crappy job done

Beware of nails shops like this, they just want your money. Prices change every time you go. It’s what they feel like charging you.

I am a bit disappointed. I went to get my nails done here and I actually liked the place. The guy that did my nails was very nice, they took me right away. I was happy with my nails and I was planning on going back again but I got a nail infection! Out of all the times I have got my nails done and all the places I have gone to I have never got an infection. It was so painful! I should have taken a photo of how big and swollen my finger was but I do have a photo of the puss that came out yesterday and today. I don’t want to go complain because o am not that kind of person but I am posting only cause I don’t want this to happen to someone else. It is painful and gross I might have to go to the doctors to get it checked of it doesn’t get better. Also the top coat is chipping.

I cant even rate this place i spend 25 bucks on a peace of crap full set the lady was rude i scuffed my nail on accedent drying my nails and she compained about fixing it im so disappointed only been here once but never again i came home my fingers all crusty n no second coat on the finger i asked her to fixed all bad i totally do not recommend this place horrable experience NEVER AGAIN!!!

Wow. Let me just start off by saying I’ve come here since my junior year of high school (I graduated in 2010). And as of today I will never go back. I got there and was told I would be seated right away. An hour went by and I was still waiting. As soon as I was about to leave one of the ladies named Paola came. VERY RUDE! She seemed frustrated the entire time, and was VERY rough on my nails and cuticles. I was afraid she was going to cut me! I spoke to the owner before leaving, this is what I said: «Paola was very rude towards me and was very rough with my nails, so I will be leaving no tip and I will not be returning.» Her response was «you can come back and see someone else.» I said no thank you and was given a rude «bye» followed by the cold shoulder. I can’t believe that’s how a customer of 6 years gets treated! I’m doing my own nails from now on.

Was recommended to have Lily do my nails from a friend and I will never again go to this place. I read bad reviews on this place and I should’ve listened to them.
She was distracted, hurt me, I had an appointment, but was in a rush to get a non-​appointment customer in my seat. She had her sit on a table near us instead of the waiting area to be closer.
Left polish on me and refused to take it off stating that it will wash off on its own. Nails were not smooth or painted well. I wanted one gem on each ring finger and was told it would cost $ 7 just for the small item. I foolishly got the gems and one came off after an hour and the other came off the following morning.
Please spend your money somewhere else.

I would wait to come here to get my nails done all the from San Diego. I have been been coming here for years. If they are busy I usually reschedule and it is worth the wait. Usually a pedi with nails… Always gel.
Pedis are great. I usually do regular polish versus gel and they always last. Never an issue with pedis.
Nails are great. I love long acrylics and they last unlike many other places. I always tell them I’m tough on my nails and in an office all day typing and they do a good job reinforcing. Gel last forever and never and issue. Nails with gel usually last me over three weeks no issues. The only time I had an issue with a color I went back the same day and it was fixed no questions asked. Hands down my #1 place and prices are great.

Came here twice because I saw they were always busy. Thought it was good. Both times I got cut a lot on many fingers and all they said was oh sorry hehe. Both times my big toe got infected and now I have green stuff coming out of my toe. My foot hurts. They don’t clean their stuff. Nasty place. Unsanitary. My feet were fine before I went in there. Now it’s infected. GROSS. Did i mention they are rude. I hate posting gross pictures but people need to be aware.
Update: 5 days later and still infected!
Ended up getting part of my nail surgically removed at the hospital. A lot of Pain & $$

I recently moved to montebello and I needed to find a new nail place that was close by. I’ve come here twice now and both times I got a gel mani & regular pedi.
The prices are cheap, and the service is nice. They’re always super busy, but I feel like they really make an effort to try to get you in & out soon as possible. However, I think that might be they’re problem.
Okay, so I always get gel manicure. At my old nail place, my gel lasted two weeks ALWAYS. Obviously it would grow out, but there was never any chips. So when I came here the first time, I got a white gel nail polish. After about 3 days, my nails had all these really hideous black little marks on them. I was wearing a fuzzy black sweater when I got my nails done, so I thought maybe somehow the lint got on my nails and the UV light dried the lint onto my gel? It didn’t make sense, but I had never seen that before, so I just thought it was a possibility. After about 5 or 6 days (for sure not a full week), but nails started chipping and coming off on the corners. In the shower when I’d run my hands through my hair, my hair would get caught under my gel because it was starting to pop off. So I ended up just peeling it all off after 7 days.
I went back again recently on Friday (⁴⁄₃) to get them done again. Just like my first visit, I was really satisfied with the way the nails came out at first. However, by Monday, my nails had the gross ugly black lines again! My sister got her nails done the same day as me & she got a white polish. I looked at her nails on Monday and she had the same black lines.
I’m not sure why this happens? It’s never happened at our old nail place, but it’s happened for every gel manicure at this place. I think it has to do with the fact that they’re always SO busy that they rush the manicure, causing the gel to not fully dry. Or maybe they just have cheap gel/​UV dryers.
Either way, both times I’ve gotten my gel nails done here, they’ve lasted perfectly for about 3 days. After that, they start getting ugly. At other salons, my gel nails will last perfectly for at least 7 – 8 days, and then slowly start to grow out and MAYBE chip. But here, they chip, start to peel off, and get weird lines.
I wouldn’t recommend getting gel here. They did a good job on my pedicures, though. Unfortunately, gel is the only polish I get. So I’ll have to find somewhere new to go. If you really like gel, I don’t advise coming here.
