Athena Nails & Spa

Make sure that your fees are «Crystal Clear» before you start your treatment! Today, I had acylic nails done, but… it was an additional $ 5.00 for gloss polish, seriously? I have that home!!! So, that just imposed on your tip!!!

I came here to get a fill since my usually place had no openings. I paid 30 dollars for a fill and within a day not even 24 hrs a nail had already broke. 2 days after that another one popped off. Definitely not coming back.

Love this place! They are great with nails, customer service and attention to detail. Always a pleasure to visit!

Just went in this afternoon for a quick pedicure. I got the most basic pedicure without callus treatment because I don’t have an issue with that. They were very quick to help me even though they were busy, and my nail technician (male) was very friendly, and efficient. I don’t like spending hours to get my nails done so it was very short, and simple. The technician didn’t hurt me at all while cleaning my nails/​filing and cutting cuticles, he was very gentle and he painted them very nicely with the polish. He also helped me put my shoes back on for me. All the ladies were very friendly and speaking a lot of English to everyone. I am likely to return again for pedicure and maybe manicure.

Awesome place really good costumer service not in a rush took time to do my manicure and pedicure really good… best place I’ve ever been to definitely recommend ask for Nina and Henry u will not be disappointed ;)

Haven’t had nails on in awhile. Needed to find a new salon and read the Unilocal reviews. Nicki is really good! I really liked the shape of my nails and she was very helpful with color choice (and patient ha!) She spent a great amount of care in perfecting my nails. awesome!

Rude! I waited for 10 minutes before being acknowledged. After I was finally helped I was told loudly and rudely, «come back.» I put a smile on my face and said, «ok.» One thing is for sure, I will never be back.

Came here with my mother in law two weeks ago for some relaxation! The lady who did my nails and pedicure was amazing!!! She fixed my full set that looked horrible! (They were less the two weeks old and already falling off… Work done from my previous nail lady at a different salon) Definitely will be coming here from now on! Their work and services are truly amazing!!! Thank you!!!

I have been going to Athena Nails for 5 years and Laura is amazing! I highly recommend her!

I have been coming here to see Nikki and she is by far the best at nail design. She has a very steady hand and I just come in and show her a picture and she can instantly replicate it. The only reason why I’m knocking off a star is that I’ve found that when I got my full sets done somewhere else (Green Ivy Nail Spa), they tend to last longer and the technicians actually clean your nail bed and trim hang nails BEFORE they put the full set on. They don’t do that here at Athena and I wish they would. The prices are more expensive too. So, I will probably only come back here if I want a specific nail design.

I was a walk-​in with my mother. No greeting. Told the lady in front we would like a mani and pedi. Told to have a seat. No time given of how long to wait. I finally have to ask and she wouldn’t answer me or even look at me three times! So incredibly rude.
Finally, a gentleman came and said we will take you now and your mom in 20 mins. Great. I start to head back until a woman for her appt came late and took my spot and then I’m told to wait!
I get if you have an appt, they would take precedence, but not when you already tell me you’re taking me! Would never go back here or recommend to anyone.

Awesome awesome awesome. Like everyone says, Nikki is Awesome! I’ve been going around town for the longest time looking for a perfect Coffin Nail, and she Nailed it LOL! She was bery friendly and easy to talk to. I also had gotten a Basic Pedicure by Nina and she was good too! So i would recommend anyone to go to Athena nails!

My husband has never had a professional pedicure so I decided to bring him to get one with me here. We were in the area and with the good reviews, we decided to check this place out. We both got the OPI pineapple papaya spa pedicure that is an Elite pedicure which includes callus removal, paraffin wax, massage and my choice of nail polish. They cleaned our cuticles, scrubbed our feet, gave us a massage and it was really relaxing.
My husband ended up feeling really relaxed and wanted to nap after his massage. Since his feet was a bit rougher than mine, he had his moments of discomfort but his feet looks great now!
I chose a baby blue nail polish for my toes, it came out really nice. I also like that I wasn’t forced to get anything additional, they were nice about it.
We’ll definitely be back again!

I love love love this place! My nails have finally found their home the girls are super sweet && talkative, what a great experience. Worth every single penny!

I loved this place! Nikki was amazing, she did such a great job. Definitely coming back to see her!

Slowly becoming a regular at this salon and I’m loving it more each time I come. This is my 3^rd review for this place so I just wanted to quickly mention that these technicians really work hard. They put a lot of effort into your nails and can work fast too! I always call last min. (Sorry) but they get me a spot the day of. I called when they opened yesterday morning which was a Thursday and was able to come in at 10 am. Laura did my nails and paid close attention to them. No bumps. Nice and even. She even cleaned the edges.
This was my first time in years getting acrylic but I had to because my nail broke super short. But I love them! Might just continue getting acrylic for a while. (Usually just get gel polish on my natural nails).
I remember when I used to get acrylics at a salon in Murrieta a while back. They would always put too much powder making it look waaaaay to thick or they would be super flawed. Laura perfected every edge, cleaned up the glue and powder underneath my nails. Thank you!
Definitely want to try a coffin or squareletto or ballerina (whichever known as) tip next time :)

I loved my experience yesterday. THANK You Laura for the Nails :)
I will come back!!!

Okay ladies, this is my 2^nd time here at Athena Nails and believe me when I say, I’m one of the pickiest people ever about my nails. I love them narrow & as naturally shaped as possible (if I’m not getting squareletto) My first trip in I got lucky getting Phoenix! I seen her work on Unilocal,but I just went in as a walk in & was unsure if she would be available-​I waited the 10min asked & she took me right away. The facility is clean and all the ladies seemed very pleasant. I had a picture off Instagram I asked her to go off of and my nails looked fabulous in the end!
I was satisfied on my first visit, as well as this most recent visit.
My claws and paws have found a new home and I’m beyond excited to see more of Phoenix’s work on my hands!!!

I’m extremely happy and satisfied with the experience I had here. Getting my nails done has always been a source of anxiety for me as I’ve had some not-​so-​stellar experiences in the past, and going to a new place is especially nerve-​wracking regardless of how well the place has been reviewed because I always seem to have the worst luck. Boy, I could not have been more worked up over nothing for deciding to go here.
This salon was highly recommended to me by a friend of mine a while back, but I was happyish with the place I was going to at the time and did not listen. How I wished I would have listened the first time she told me that I wouldn’t regret it. Regret is the farthest thing from my mind now that I listened.
I called ahead and made an appointment for later in the day and ended up showing up early. I was sat immediately and had to wait less than a minute before I was being seen to. I was helped by Pheonix, who was a joy to speak to and an absolute doll. She talked with me about what exactly I wanted, looked at my reference photo and got immediately to work. I was dazzled by how fast and efficiently she worked and how detail-​oriented she was. She checked every decision with me to be absolutely certain I was happy with how each step was coming along and somehow managed to keep a completely fluent conversation going at the same time.
I decided to go an entirely different route than my typical full set of pink and whites. This time I wanted to go with the stiletto shape, which I’ve heard some horror stories about if the nail artist isn’t experienced with. Pheonix didn’t even blink an eye. My whole experience took about 45 minutes, and was very painless, both physically and emotionally.
It’s a little pricey, but I was expecting that for what I was getting. Even if I’d gone with my usual, I’d have been happy paying a little extra for how pleasant my visit was.
The salon was clean and quiet and entirely what I like in a salon. Even the other ladies who were working were friendly and inviting.
I will definitely be coming back here. My nails look amazing! I am a very satisfied customer

Took me a while to find this place after moving to Temecula. I’ve been getting fail after fail nail shop till I found this place. I still give this place 5 stars since I really like them, but nothing compares to a $ 20 acrylic gel in San Jose. This place comes very close though. Plus, its not ghetto and full of ratchets like my old nail salon.
The workers here are super nice and friendly. Some of the girls there are super fun to talk to while you’re getting your nails done. They’re also a family owned mom and pop shop. Dad does nails too!
They have the best pedicure chairs I’ve ever sat in. It massages your butt! Feels so good after a day of squats at the gym. Their prices are lower than most nail places in Temecula as well, plus they have the largest gel/​shellac selection I’ve seen in Temecula.
They also offer eyelash extensions for $ 35 (not a bad price for most other places). It’s not on their list of services so I found out just through talking to them about it while getting my nails done.
Ask for Phoenix to do your lashes. She’s amazing at it, fast and hella chill to talk to. She knew exactly what I was looking for in lashes. She puts it under your real lash line so it doesn’t show on top and still looks like your regular lashes but fuller.
I will always come here for all my beauty needs, besides my hair. Tip them well ladies. and some gents
:)
