Skyller Nails and Spa

Kaylee did my nails, showed her a picture of how I wanted my nails done. She worked fast and didn’t say a word. I love the outcome of my nails however I only gave 4 stars because of customer service.
I called about an hour before hand and they said to come in at 4:30. Once I got there I was seated right away and the work began. Immediately after I was seated, 2 ladies come in who already had an appointment booked. They had to wait 30 minutes before they were taken. During that time I felt like everyone was rushing, not taking their time on their existing clients they were working on and took in more than they could handle.
I just felt it was unfair for the people who made appointments and they still had to wait is all. Other than that, Kaylee is a superstar at her craft.

I’ve been to this salon twice now, and I’ll never go again. Their amazing gel polish selection, and large comfy spa chairs gained them the two stars. There’s also one awesome technician who does great pedicures, but more importantly is kind and really funny.
The rest of the staff however– RUDE. Yesterday I got a gel pedicure and a fill with gel polish. The same RUDE technician did my fill on both of my visits… unlucky me. The shop was getting busy and she cut so many corners in order to get me out and start on the next person. I told her my nails were lifting (though she should have noticed this on her own as it is her job) and instead of repairing my nails properly, cutting off the parts that were lifting, she just put acrylic over them and applied glue to the tips. Literally 36 hours later, one nail is already chipped. She also tried to talk me out of my color choice. When I said I wanted to go with it anyway, she RUDELY and loudly said, «I already told you– it’s not going to look like sample!». Good thing I stuck with my choice because it looks exactly like the sample and exactly how I wanted the polish to look. When I commented that it came out well, she ignored me completely. I said thank you when she was done (purely out of courteousness) and she replied, «Hmm».
Pedicure: The technician was nice enough, but again cut corners. I got the callus treatment and after scrubbing my heels and rinsing my feet, she wanted me to put my now clean feet back on the dirty towel. She didn’t even fold it over. I literally had to ask her to change the towel. When I did, she wasn’t even surprised– like she knew she should have done it. And she had a drawer full of towels in her caddy! Just before the massage portion of the pedi, the technician usually puts hot towels on your legs to open the pores or whatever. Instead of bringing a towel for each of my legs, she brought out one scorching towel and put it on my left leg while massaging the right (which seemed counter-​intuitive since the towel is supposed to go on before the massage). Then she put the same towel on my right leg while she massaged the left. By then, the towel was cold. So my left leg was basically burned and my right leg got a cold wet towel as an afterthought.
Lastly, they suck at keeping appointments. I got there 5 minutes after they opened and apparently, that’s the only way to be serviced in a decent amount of time. In the short time I was there, 3 different people walked in and were told it would be a 30 minute wait because the rest of the staff had yet to arrive. Two of them said they would be back in 30 minutes to which the staff said «Good. No problem». One stayed and waited in the salon. She waited 45 minutes. One girl came back 35 minutes later and was told it would be another 5 – 10 minutes. She decided to go somewhere else (good for her!!!). The other woman came back and was still waiting when I left.
Go to MILLENNIUM NAIL & SPA instead! It’s in the next plaza (where Starbucks is located) and a little bit older, but they recently remodeled it. I went to Skyller because of the awesome polish selection, but Millennium just ordered a ton of new colors!!! Most importantly, they’re kind and considerate at Millennium.

Customer service is horrible. They always open the shop late and the employees arrive late. I went at 9:45am to get a gel mani, there was only two ladies doing nails. They told me to wait 30mins, so I said I’ll come back. I came back at 10:15 and there was two extra people already in there getting their nails done. The ladies didn’t even acknowledge me when I walked in, so I went to ask how much longer I was going to have to wait and they said another 5−10mins. I normally wouldn’t mind, but it’s not my fault that your employees show up late to work and the least you could do is acknowledge my presence and say I’ll be with you soon. Just rude! Needless to say I won’t be spending another penny in that shop!

In an attempt to find the closest nail salon near my home, I stumbled upon this little gem! The salon provides a very clean and calm environment – a rarity from the dozens of salons I’ve visited here in Riverside. I had a full set of acrylics done here and after my first visit, I just kept coming back. The service is excellent and Evelyn never fails to provide amazing nail care. Every time I get my nails done, no matter what style or service, I am always satisfied with the result. I’ve been getting acrylics (full sets and fill-​ins) for the past several months here and they’ve always looked phenomenal. However, now that I wanted to take a break from acrylics, I opted on gel. And let me tell you, they do an AMAZING job with gel too.

First time here and I loved it! Evelyn did an amazing job! Brought her a picture and she did Exactly what I wanted!

Checked in at exactly 2:00pm, as I had made an appointment earlier for 2. I signed in and was told I had to wait 10 – 15 minutes. I ended up waiting 15 minutes. The salon seems well kept and clean, like it’s almost new and the massage chairs look nice. I brought my own acrylic and monomer set (from Diva DC) since I enjoy this color and made sure ahead of time when making my appointment that they would be willing to use my acrylic. I didn’t ask the name of my tech unfortunately, but she did a great job ensuring my nails were sized and shaped correctly. Sadly that’s where the quality of the service ended. She left my cuticles untouched, my natural nails clipped and left jagged, and went straight into gluing the fake tips right over them. When she did the final buff, she left several nails looking scratched and it turns out she cured some lint and debris into the acrylic :(Not to mention she also left extra acrylic chunks under two nail tips… and afterwards, not a single drop of lotion or cuticle oil. I paid a total of $ 30 for this service.

We recently moved to Riverside from Orange County and I wanted to look for a nail salon who is good at trimming cuticle. I tried the shop down on Pierce St and Magnolia. However, they overcharged me without trimming any cuticle. I was very disappointed. Skyller nail and spa was opened not too long ago, and i wanted to give it a try. First time, I came in for my gel manicure. Lily did it for me. She spent her time trimming my cuticle and putting on layers of gel color. Two clear coats at the end made my nails more shiny and last forever. The price is super afforadable. Lily is very friendly. She doesn’t talk much, which I really like. Ever since, I come back every two weeks for my pedicure and gel manicure with Lily. The best thing about Lily is she never rush doing the work even there are people waiting. I would definitely recommend Lily to everybody.

Came in for the fist time and I’m very happy with my nails. I had previously gone to a different nail salon to get my fist gel manicure for my wedding, but somehow the lady helping me forgot. This time I decided to try a place close to home and it seems like I’ve found my nail salon. The price and end result were great. I am one happy customer.

Mike is absolutely AMAZING. I started going to him well over a year ago. He always does an amazing job at my outrageous requests with the designs and colors. Always something with ROCKSTAR nails.
He is a magician with manicures and pedicures.

I was staying at the hotel behind the nail salon. I asked the hotel nail clerk where I could get my nails done. She referred me here.
The man at the front desk had no smiles. He did not speak in a pleasant tone. He did not make me feel welcomed. But maybe he was having a bad day. If so, that should never be taken out on kind customers that are spending money in your establishment and would like to be pampered.
I had an hour wait. I didn’t want to go back to the hotel and miss my turn, so I Unilocaled, Facebooked and Tweeted until my turn.
Evelyn gave me LIFE! She got me to change me routine and upgrade my style & color. She did an awesome job. And I’m getting so many compliments on my nails.
I live over 63 miles away, but I will come back the next time I am booked in the area.
Maybe the guy at the front desk will be in a better mood.
Thank you Evelyn!

Nice new salon in the Riverwalk parkway area. Brand new spas chairs and well appointed. They are open on Sundays.
They did a great job on my gel manicure. They put on 3 coats of gel and 2 clear coats. It has been over a week and my nails still look brand new. Pedicure was also very nice. Very reasonably priced too. I will definitely be back!

THIS PLACE SUCKS!!! DONT COME
HERE!!! I would give 0 stars if I could. I am one day away from my due date, I came in to get a relaxing pedicure massage and my nails done, the man at the front is VERY rude, has no manners and is a total
dick!!! I came with my Mom and was very specific about what I wanted I wanted my feet rubbed which SUCKED! She didn’t massage me, she put a bunch of lotion on her hands and rubbed it very fast and vigorously. Not relaxing at all!!! I was very specific and said No polish removal Or added on! Of Course they didn’t listen at all, ended up taking off the polish I had just had put on last week and then said «okay Your done you don’t want polish» WTF!!! Then when I very nicely said «I do want polish» she started mumbling in Asian to the other workers and handed me the color swatches vey rudely and it wasn’t even all the colors, they had other swatches of he colors I wanted and when I asked to see them she acted as if she didn’t hear me… So because
I didn’t wanna deal with her I picked out a color just to get it over with… I have never hated a nail Salon so much! I would never recommend anyone come Here! On top of it all when I walked in and I told them What I wanted which was a full set and a massage they sat me
Down for the massage (water was too hott when I asked for it to be a little colder he made it all the way cold, so it was awful anyways) afterward acted as if I never mentioned wanting a full set of nails and then when I asked where to go for my nails hey told me
It would be an hour wait!!! Pregnant or not i am
Sure anyone would feel upset with this experience… I still paid and was very polite my entire visit… Once again. DONT COME HERE!!! I could say much more things but I’ll leave it at this!!!

Talk about gelnails they have every awesome color you can imagine. Finally I found a place that I like… They were nice and I think they did any awesome job. You must ask for Evelyn she’s great. I’m so glad I found this nail shop on Unilocal.It’s been so hard for me to find a good place in Riverside and I got to say they nailed it.

I love this nail salon! I have been looking for a new salon for a while and went to test this one out. Will most definitely be coming back! I walked in, was given a friendly greeting and was sat down to have my nails done right away. I asked for a full set of matte nude coffin nails and the lady knew exactly what I wanted. They turned out absolutely beautifully! She was so nice and so quick! I was in and out! The salon was so clean and organized and everyone was so nice. Most importantly the lady was so gentle with my hands and didn’t have a problems with pain or roughness when getting my nails done! This will definitely be my regular salon from now on

I didn’t have an appointment and came an hour before they had closed. I got a regular spa pedicure and it was nice. They took their time and my feet feel soft. For my manicure I got a full set of acrylics and they did a really good job. I ended up being there until a half hour after they closed and I’m glad they didn’t rush the work on my nails and rush me out. Very satisfied with my nails and their service. I’ll be going here again!

I came in to try out this salon as they just opened right across our complex I was very hesitant to try a new place since I always go to the same nail salon only problem is that it’s far from my house and since I just had a newborn I needed something closer to home. I walked in and got a full set Evelyn was my nail tech and I was blown away with her work and attention to detail. I’m very picky with my nails and I had nothing bad to say or to point out for her to fix. I was very happy and will go there from now on. Plus there always running on time. Prices are great very reasonable and it’s a clean salon.

This is the first time I go to a salon and leave feeling satisfied with my nails. I came in about 2 weeks ago to get a full set and a design and I could tell that the design I asked for wasn’t a pretty common design but Kaylee did a really good job of doing exactly what I had asked for and I was happy with the results. I’ve only dealt with Kaylee so far and she does such a great job but the rest of the staff is also very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this salon!

I had a good first experience here at Skyller Nails! I took a chance based on the reviews and it wasn’t bad at all. My main nail shop was booked and I always get scared of trying new places. I got a basic pedicure and a gel fill. I don’t know the girl’s name who did my toes but she was quick and efficient. Evelyn took care of my nails and she did an excellent job! I love the way she reshaped my nails and she was also quick and efficient. I definitely think I will be back in the future.

Loved my experience there. I got a full set with the coffin tip and nude matte polish for only $ 28! My nails came out exactly as I expected them to. Great job!

Just got my nails done today. I usually get my nails done out in Anaheim but I didn’t have the time and this place is closer to home. Found them on Unilocal and i can honestly say I am impressed with the quality of their work and fair pricing. I will be coming back here for sure!
