Dream Lady Nails

I Went in with ugly short black nails And Helen totally worked her magic. Yeah the place needs a little update (Especially the polishes– theyre a little dry= why I’m giving 4 stars) but all in all my experience was Great! Im super impressed with Helens work! I showed her a picture of the nails And She did everything i wanted plus more. I get sooo many compliments! Thank You! Ill be back
For my fill

I’ve been going to this nail salon for over 10 years and Vicky is THE BEST!!! I have been prone to getting in-​grown toe nails and whenever I don’t go to her is when I get them. She is gentle and focuses on little details. I also love that she doesn’t rush through even when it’s busy.
The actual salon needs a face lift. I get my eyebrows waxed there as well but the facility is far from spa-​like. The options for polish are also limited so I usually bring my own. They have 3 spa chairs but I usually opt out. The prices are very reasonable and everyone is always very friendly. There is a reason why people keep going back… you get a great mani/​pedi for a good price!

Service is good, place is clean. Ambiance is meh, but the price is good.

Love it here! I am a regular. Prices are more than fair. The environment is nice and chill, ladies are all hard working wonderful women! Spa chairs are bomb! I come at night, the wait is short and theyre willing to work past closing hours. Loyal customer.

I don’t understand service vendors that can’t provide even DECENT service. I walked in on a Sunday morning just before 11. So it was fairly empty. Only two other clients are here. I end up waiting like 40 minutes before being helped. And the entire time I could tell they were rushing on me. To top that off, their polish job was god awful. NEVER AGAIN.

Came here because pro nail next door told me to «come tomorrow.» Glad I did because my nails are still shiny and nice after two weeks. 5 stars because the nail lady did my nails after hours.

Tried this place since been looking for a nail shop here in San Gabriel. Im really glad that I walked out of First Lady Nail Shop (Bad Vibe) Nancy did a great job for my refill and Helen on my Pedi. Will definitely go back and will Make this place my official Nail Shop ! ^_^

When my gal started I forgot to pay attention to whether she took my tools out of a new package or not. (That’s a big deal for me). So I watched the lady my friend was with and she did not. I was grossed out but mine was almost done. Definitely NOT coming back. Only reason I gave them a star at all was because they were open. No tip either because I cannot stand when they speak to each other in their language and not attempt to talk to you.

They are great especially Helen but just make sure you make an appointment

I guess its ok if you are a rookie at gettin pampered. Ok pedi, ok peeps. Like that they didn’t speak to one another. If you are looking for a nail shop that will always deliver the best nails that will last for a month then I suggest Diamond Nails in WesCo. I thought I can trust Unilocalers…

I came here for a gel manicure and left frustrated and regretful. The manicurist, Helen, was very impersonal. She applied the gel so sloppily that after she was done, the gel was already lifting from the sides! I had to come back the next day for her to fix it. Her «fixing» it included her cutting off the excess gel halfway up the sides of my nails and adding more gel to fill it. Too bad it lasted only a day and just cracked off and looked worse. It also was applied in a way that looked and felt chunky instead of smooth and sleek.
To to it off, she yelled at me for washing my hands after using the bathroom because she couldn’t see where the gel had lifted! Hands dry fully in about 30 seconds, lady couldn’t even wait for that! Come here if u want to interact with rude people and leave angry! Worst experience of my life. It was a waste of money and time.

Walked into this place on a Saturday morning with my boyfriends daughter to get our routine mani/​pedis. I went in there with a closed mind because I typically get my nails done down the street at Princess Nails. My routine nail lady was completely booked and I was desperate for my bi-​weekly Fill/​Pedi.
I have never been there before and did not know what to expect. But I was completely satisfied.
I don’t know who did my nails and feet but she did them pretty great. Well enough for me to leave a good review. The only reason I give 4 stars is because she pushed for my daughter to get a mani/​pedi when I specifically said just to do a polish change, but she was happy too so I wasn’t too bothered.
Overall, she did an amazing, clean, well shaped fill and a great pedicure. I would definitely go back if I ever had to.
Thanks to Dream Lady, I now have a new back up salon!

OMG!!! We happened into this place by chance and what a regretful experience this was, they had the most uncomfortable chairs ever, just wanted a manicure and pedicure and brought my own polish and they say additional $ 5.00 for this, additional $ 5.00 for that wtf? It was also very difficult to communicate with the women there, I have been to dozens of nail salons thruout Socal and never had such a hard time explaining what I wanted and so on, paid $ 20.00 for cleaning hands and feet but no tip, will never come back again if they paid me.

Found this place on Unilocal and luckily decided to call to make an appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and was attended to within 10 minutes. The place is pretty busy. I was satisfied with my nails. My only gripe is that after I received my pedi, I waited about 15 – 20 minutes for the woman to come back and start my manicure. She actually went to another woman and gave her a manicure before mine. I was a little annoyed because I was in a hurry and it’s the reason I made an appointment. Upside was that it was inexpensive.

I needed my nails done on a Sunday and I happen to be in the San Gabriel area early in the morning. I found Dream Nails on Unilocal and decided to go there because of the reviews. They did an awesome job on my nails (gel) and even though I didn’t like the nail polish I chose for my toes… they changed the color for me with no dirty looks or Vietnamese spoken between the manicurists (they didn’t talk sh… about me). I would’ve given them a 5 star but there was still communication problems on questions I had about the gel manicure and cost. I ended up paying because overall, I was very pleased with the service and cleanliness of the place.

Juicy $ 16 mani pedi plus waxing
Great deal for a mani pedi. Their gel mani is only $ 20. Way cheaper than a lot of the nail salons.
They do a very decent job. If you opt for an opi nail polish then it’s extra $ 1. The other nail polishes are not branded but they have some essi nail polishes without an extra charge.
They even gave me a slipper to use after my pedi since my shoes looked like it would mess up my newly manicured feet.
I had a great experience here, the people were very nice and very fast. I was in and out of there about 45 mins.
I also waxed my eyebrows and upper lip$ 10. She did a great job too since she really spent her time making sure everything was waxed. It says they do also cut hair for $ 10 up so that is a pretty good deal.
If you’re in the are, you won’t regret coming here. I will be back when I’m in need of another mani-​pedi.

Came here because I desperately needed a mani/​pedi. So I quickly Unilocaled nail salons around my area and stumbled across this place. $ 16 bucks for a mani/​pedi and $ 22 for a french tip mani/​pedi. Super cheap prices, but the quality sucks. You get what you pay for. The lady I got was nice and attentive, but she seemed rushed even though there was no one waiting in line. So sad cause my cuticles are all jacked up now. My nails looked okay within the first 1 – 2 days but after that, my cuticles started to tear. It looks horrible and it’s painful as hell =(
They don’t carry OPI, Essie, China Glaze.
Oh and for a regular pedi, you don’t get to sit in a spa chair like other pedi’s I’ve had in the past… They put put your feet in a little mobile spa thing you can find at the store.

I had my hair, nails, and makeup done at Dream Lady for my wedding. They also did my mother in law and bridesmaids’ hair, nails, makeup. The price was way below other salons and the open-​floor plan of the salon made it a fun day for all of us to be together, getting all done-​up. They had lots of stylists working on us at once so it didn’t take the whole day, which was nice. I had someone doing my hair at the same time some one was doing my nails. They were efficient and did a good job! For the price, you really can’t beat it. I ended up paying for all 4 of us for less than $ 400 (including tip). I don’t give them 5 stars because one of my bridesmaids wasn’t too happy with how they did her hair and they made me cry (and cry) when trying to thread my facial hair.
PS: They might tell you they don’t do wedding makeup, but if you insist, they will do it; They just don’t do airbrush and fake eyelashes, which I didn’t want anyway.

I walked in to get a mani pedi and walked out with that plus an eyebrow wax. Angel sold this service to me after commenting on how raggedy my eyebrows looked (someone had to say something eventually =.=). I’m usually not a fan of people trying to sell me add-​ons or services, but she did such a great job I’ll make an exception. They’re now beautifully shaped with the subtle arch I’ve been half-​heartedly chasing after. Yay. I probably will have to go back to her if I can’t find someone to replicate it. 7 bucks plus 3 bucks for tip. 10 dollars is not bad for an eyebrow job done right. The only sort of strange thing is she wheeled out the wax cart and started working on me in front of everyone. Hahaha.
The mani pedi was good quality. I brought my own polish and they were happy to work with it. The ladies were very detailed and took their time, even though there were waiting customers. I appreciated that they didn’t rush to finish just so they could move on to the next customer. 16 dollars for a regular mani pedi. There were a lot of color selections, but most brands were second-​rate, so I don’t know how long lasting the polish job would be.
I noticed clientele seem to be customer regulars, and older ladies. It’s different than what I’m used to, but nice because there’s no obnoxious gossip and young moms telling their kids to stop goofing around. The ladies working there also seem to be a more experienced bunch. The type of aunties that would be friends with my mom.
Simple no-​frills establishment with hair services as well. Parking in the back. I recommend it if you’re in the area and can afford to wait a bit (or make an appointment).

I am giving this place 5 stars, not because it deserves it but because I gave a much crappier nail place 5 stars (to balance out the 1 star reviews it had received). So since I can’t give more stars in my own crazy game of Nail Salon Star Inflation, 5 it is.
This was my second time here… the first time I came it was past closing time (because another place decided to close early and turned me away when I got there), but they took me anyway. I would have given them bonus stars just for that.
We came without an appointment at about 6:30 and waited a looooooong time before we got our mani/​pedis, but it was OK because we caught up on on some reading.
Pros:
–Clean! Their instruments are sterilized and sealed– opened in front of you right before they start
–Cheap! Cost for (regular, non-​spa) mani-​pedi is $ 16.
–Credit cards taken! And no lame add-​on charges
–No pressure! I’ve not had anyone try to sell extra services, just a simple ask, «Spa?» (No.) That was the end of it.
Cons:
–Busy! They take walk-​ins, but call ahead for an appointment. Even a lady who did have an appointment had to wait (a little). I saw at least 2 customers leave because they didn’t want to wait.
–When busy, no place to sit!
There was a guy getting his hair cut and there are semi-​private areas in back for waxing, though I’ve not had anything but my nails done here.
In reality, I’d say this is a 4 star place, at best. Last time my french manicure (a few bucks more) didn’t last more than a week but hey, for $ 16, I’m not complaining. I like that I can get out of there– $ 20 including tip if I do a simple mani/​pedi.
