Apple Nail Salon

I recently visited Apple Nail Salon because it was Friday evening and my other favorite salons in the area were all booked and busy for the day. I called Apple and they had no wait, so I rushed there.
I walked in and was attended to by the friendly manager, Jessica. I picked my polished and sat in a spa chair and all was well. As soon as they started working on my nails I noticed tools were not properly sanitized, but kept in plastic boxes and reused on each customer. I stayed and was beginning to relax, until the manicurist on my toes was giving me a massage and the pink lotion in the squeeze container splashed out and felt like it burned my skin. I made it known that I felt this way, but there was not much that could be done.
At the end of my service, the manager gave me a complimentary pair of foam flip flops with the plastic strap that she informed me usually cost $ 1 since the lotion they microwaved was too hot. Well, thanks. Not much they could do there.
I will probably not be back to Apple. It wasn’t terrible but I didn’t feel relaxed or happy with my service. If a girlfriend of mine asked, I would advise her to check out some other salons nearby before settling here.

Nancy did my gel on ⁶⁄₈ and today is ⁶⁄₁₉ and there are zero chips, peels or cracks. Very happy so far as I can’t say the same for every nail place that I turn to. If thats the kind of workwomanship Nancy does, I will be back to get my refills when in the area. And the prices here are very very good! Be prepare to wait or make an appointment as this salon is extremely busy.

Terrible, horrible service! It’s cheap here, but you definitely get what you paid for. Don’t waste your time… go to a different place. They over-​book people and there’s only one person who everyone recommends — Jessica. Unfortunately, Jessica (the manager) did my nails and was in such a hurry that she made one side of my hands darker than the other side. I usually get a gel manicure and she did not allow my nails to dry all the way with the UV lights. She was so busy and preoccupied with every person that walked in that she does not attend to who she is servicing. She was rushing to finish that she does not care if your nails are messed up. She’s talking in Vietnamese, answers the phone, and does the register. Jessica you need to hire more people because it’s really rude that as a customer, you neglect them.

I have been here a couple of times and each time, everyone is super nice and accommodating. The shop itself is very clean and organized with about 5 spa pedicure chairs and 6 booths for you to get your manicures and acrylics done. They have a WIDE selection of gel colors, about 50 or 60 to choose from so your almost guaranteed to find a color you will like. The prices have recently gone up slightly for example a gel manicure used to be $ 20 but is now $ 22. However, even with the slight price increase I feel that their excellent customer service is worth paying just a little bit more.

My experience here has been good and bad. Don’t bother making an appointment, they don’t honor it. I’ve been 3 times, all with an appointment but have always had to wait 15+ min. Jessica does good work IF she isn’t rushing to finish to get to the next client. My last two appt I asked for a design, both times she forgot and didn’t do it because she was rushing. The other ladies do okay on pedicures. I usually find some area of my nail they didnt clean up enough. I don’t plan to return.

I came to have my full set acrylic with color gel nails removed (I got them done here two weeks prior) and to get a mani.
The lady who was working on my nails literally hacked off and pried apart the acrylic from my real nails using a fake nail tip. She did not use acetone or anything other than sheer force. It hurt like crazy and now my real nails are missing the top layers and are extremely brittle, broken, sensitive, and painful. To top it off, she charged me $ 5 for this «service».
I got a manicure done, but it was lumpy and uneven. You can clearly see some parts of my nails have two coats of polish while others only have one. Mini holes/​bubbles appeared in the nail polish on my nail. She also cut my real nails very slanted. This same issue of slanted nails also happened when I got my acrylics done.

This place is a hit or miss. Not all their manicurists are great. I’ve been here twice, first time was a good experience but the second time was horrible.
I got a regular manicure with a design but the design was really horrible. It was crooked and my lines didn’t even go from one end to the other. I was unconvinced by the design and the manicurist next to me noticed and said it was beautiful. Girl don’t lie to me. To make the story short, I asked for the designed to be removed. The famous Jessica came to ask me why I didn’t like it & checked my nails. She even said it herself that it was crooked. I waited about 15 mins for her to come and re-​do it but even then it wasn’t great. She did it too fast and I had air bubbles. It was better but not what I expected from a manager and from someone with her rep.
She also wasn’t friendly and made me feel like it was my fault.
I had talked this place up to my cousin so it was pretty disappointing. Nobody even said bye to us or thank you when we left (even after we tipped). Def. not coming back.

I am never disappointed by the work here! Even though I don’t live nearby, I make the drive to get my nails done at Apple. Their gel manicures last me awhile and the girls do a great job. I recently got my nails/​toes done by Bella. She did an amazing job with both!

I have followed Jessica for six years and 5 salons. I live in West Hollywood and travel back to Cerritos sometimes just for my nails. She does an amazing job! I always have someone else for my pedicures and they always do a great job as well. This is a new salon, very clean! Everyone always compliments my nails and they last two (three weeks if I can’t get out there for a fill).

Self beautification is sorta my thing and Apple was on my radar since I always like to seek new nail tech talent. My girls over @ Glamour Nail in Lakewood are top notch, esp my go-to’s! But here I am cheating on them because I tend to cough up mad money when I’m there for, what seems to be, the norm. I read the fierce reviews, liked the price point, and booked an appointment with one of my gf’s for a little pampering sesh. The ladies were okay. Not very personable but no biggie. The place was also quiet the time we went and church was playing on the telly. We’re big talkers and felt «hushed» while there =\
Anywho, my lady was cool but her work literally didn’t last very long. My entire full set was busting at the bottom seam at exactly the 2 week mark which sucked since I tend to replenish my paws every 3 weeks. I couldn’t even run my fingers through my hair without each nail getting caught. My design was also so-​so and, lets face it, nail art can get pricey. This experience didn’t tickle my fancy and will most likely not return. I’m sure other techs are awesome. Overall, a good place to go to in a pinch but not the place for me to call home.

Got my nails done by Nancy.
Loved the thoroughness of the service. I got half matte and half gloss gel nails, which I LOVED. My cuticles were well-​cared for and the attention to detail was great.
Can’t beat the pricing and looking forward to my next manicure!

This place has the best service and prices! Jessica is the absolute best! I have been coming to her for a year and she never fails to disappoint! She is super nice and understanding. She’s a very busy woman but still manages to do an amazing job! She is very detail oriented! The whole staff is awesome but I highly recommend Jessica!

I had a gel manicure and regular pedicure done for my wedding. I had never gotten gel nails before so I was a bit worried they wouldn’t stay until the wedding (2 days after the manicure). But they look perfect still! All the girls there were very nice and sweet. They even put some designs on my nails! I’ve included a picture of what the nails looked like immediately after the manicure and after one week. They still look great! This place is super close so I will definitely be coming back!

Been coming here for a little while now and I love it! Jessica is seriously the best and so sweet, I always have her do my acrylics! All the other ladies are super sweet as well and the pricing is very fair. They do get really busy, especially Jessica, so make sure you call to make an appointment that way they don’t have to rush to get to you. They have an expansive color selection for gel. Also, I’ve broken a couple of nails a few times because I’m so rough with my hands but Jessica always fixes them for me asap and sometimes doesn’t even charge me, thank you! :)

As always they do an making job there. They take their time and make your nails looks amazing love this place.

I’ve been on a long search for a reliable, consistent good quality nail salon and finally found it. This is my 3^rd visit and they don’t fail!
The staff is friendly the facility is clean.
Love them! Keep it up!

Me and my sister were Unilocaling to find a good nail salon and fortunately for us we found this gem.
First time there, we walked in and right away were taken in for a gel full set. I don’t remember the older woman’s name who did my nails but they we’re done okay. I wasn’t as impressed. I had left with a bump on one of my nails.
The second time I went, I requested Jessica. She went beyond my expectations. She was so nice. I was there 2 hours before closing but she had other clients. It was a long wait of course but I decided to just wait. When it was finally my turn, after my sister, she took her time doing my nails because I was already her last client. She did such a excellent job.
The third time I went, I had requested Jessica again for a full set, (she is amazing btw) and my friend got another lady from Jessica’s staff. I was again impressed with Jessica and loved my nails. This time she had done them much quicker than before because she had other clients but still came out amazing. As for my friend, her nails came out really nice as well, but the lady must of not put enough glue because less than a week later her nails completely came off.

After a hectic morning and the general feeling of crumminess that I’ve been dealing with the last few weeks, it was time for a massage chair, stupid daytime talkshows, and a mani-​pedi. Since I’m pretty far away from my normal haunt in Reno, I was forced to branch out and check out a new place.
I called about 10 minutes before I arrived and they had no problem fitting me in for a walk-​in spot. I’m terrible about making appointments for things like nails, so this is a very important quality in a salon. I mentioned that I wanted my gel manicure and regular pedicure to match, and was provided with four different wheels of colors to choose from. While I love my go-​to place in Reno, this variety is definitely a welcome change.
One lady on the toes, one on the hands, I was in an out in a jiffy. I didn’t catch her name, but the girl working on my nails was super precise and detail-​oriented, which is really important when you’re dealing with polish that it would take an act of God to remove. It ended up being on of the best manicures I’ve gotten in a long time.
I’m not often looking to get my nails done when I’m in LA, but I definitely have a place that I’d love to come back to on a regular basis.

Apple Nail Salon is now my go to nail salon! I’ve been here twice before writing this review. All 3 times I’ve had great service. I came on my birthday 2÷15÷16 to #treatyoself with my grandma.
I’m giving a 4.5 rating. I really wish the massage part of the pedicure was longer which is why I didn’t give a 5 rating, but I guess they were just busy that Monday morning with it being a holiday and school was out.
I recommend calling in first. Personally, I always call and make an appointment regardless if they’re busy or not, because it may get packed quickly and I don’t like waiting. They do accept walk-​ins, Jessica and her team do their best to accommodate everyone.
We both got a spa pedicure ($ 18) and I got a gel manicure ($ 20 + $ 10 for design). I didn’t get her name, but she did a great job cleaning up my shape and she gave me what I wanted as far as my design.
Definitely recommend checking this salon! :)

I had a bad experience with a previous nail salon which resulted in two broken nails and I needed a fix fast! I have a wedding to attend tomorrow, I took w chance and came here on my lunch break for I had no time for anything else or to even look around! Also this was just next door to the building I work in! I went in and only after ten min I got seated! Kelly was my nail tech! I had two broken nails and I needed a fill. We started talking and I mentioned I was on lunch, no intentions of rushing her! She still remained friendly and not once did I feel her panicking or anything. She actually finished my fill fixed my two nails AND we did gel all within my hour lunch ! Amazing!!! She was attentive and she did exactly what I asked for. Not to mention the price was great! Will be coming back to kelly! She was quick, neat, polite and friendly !
UPDATED
My gel nails started chipping after a couple days and that was odd to me so I went back in to see if I can get them redone since I can’t be having chipped nails for Valentine’s Day! JESSICA immediately took me in and not only did she re do ALL my gel, but she also went in to make sure everything is glued and sealed properly AND she reshaped them for me she’s seriously a life saver and her customer service is beyond incredible! Prices are ALWAYS reasonable and JESSICA is amazing!!!
