YuYa Spa

I’ve been here several times and usually have the gentleman do the manicures. But today I had Monica and she was awesome! She took time to clean my cuticles really well and didn’t rush anything.
The mon-​wed deal is awesome. Mani + pedi = $ 20. And gel mani + pedi = $ 32 or $ 35. I removed my gel manicure and got a regular manicure which came out to $ 15 — $ 10 for the mani and $ 5 to remove the gel. So worth it!
I spent $ 40 on my gel manicure at another spot in west side a few weeks ago and sadly I got better treatment today with Monica than that place.

I go here at least once a month and everyone is super nice and they do a great job! I’m really picky about my cuticles and they always do a fabulous job!

I love this place, but I don’t like my acrylics breaking less than a week after getting a new set put on. The employees are very nice and friendly, great atmosphere and great prices. Other than breaking nails, this place is great ! I did a last minute late night stop and they still had time for me even though they were closing and going to be working on me after closing, and still they took their time and didn’t rush through it like most places.

$ 20 for mani & pedi Monday-​Wednesday that lasts me 2 weeks is a great deal! Some times are better then others, if it’s busy they call the other location & you need to wait for someone to get to you. If it’s empty you’re seen right away & they don’t rush you out. Being a hair stylist I know all about sanitation in salons, I can say this is the only place I’ve seen that opens a new bag after its sterilized. Something other salons in the area definitely do not do. Overall for the price it’s a great little spot.

Probably the worst salon that I have ever been to! Went in to this salon because it was the only one that was still open. The lady that did my pedicure had attitude like I’ve never seen before and my gel manicure after 2 days it all chipped!!! What a waste of money! Never coming back here again. I would never recommend anyone to waste their money at this crappy salon!

What a rip off. The brochure said $ 35 for the brizillian wax. After waiting for ten minutes the guy came over and told me that it would be $ 100. Because I’m a man. Can you believe. That should be against the law.

I’ve been going here for the last few years. I absolutely love it… I almost always get a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. I love how they use hot stones, sugar scrub, great lotion, and hot towels every time.

I came to Yuyas after Unilocaling them and decided to try since it was so close to my house. I was extremely disappointed at the customer service and the quality of my nails. It has been only 6 days and my gel manicure has completely peeled off. (Mine usually lasts well over 3 weeks when done properly at other places).
My entire gel manicure took roughly 10 minutes to complete, and let me tell you, its not because of the excellent technique of the technician, rather, it was because he barely put any effort into doing his job.
Same, if not worse can be said about my pedicure. The woman put only 1 coat of the light pink color and when I asked whether she would put at least one more, she asked which toe I would like to have another coat on… really? How about all 10!
I also want to draw your attention to the fact that she was doing my pedicure and began doing someone else’s at the same time! I mean, how gross is that!
Anyway, I will never come here again and will be sure to tell everyone I know to avoid this place as well.

Sheri does the best gel manicure! She does an amazing job. The prices are reasonable as well. They have specials every Monday-​Wed.

Yuya is a hit or miss for me. I have been coming here for the past 5 years, and Joyce is my go-​to. Sadly, she quit about a month or so ago and I haven’t been going because I trusted only Joyce with my nails. She and I became so close over the course of the years and she never disappoints when it comes to my nails!
(+) Yuya is probably the the cheapest spa ever! Gel nails are only 22 $, and they have special promotions going on from monday-​wednesday. I remember one of the promotions is a gel mani and regular pedi is around 30 $. No other spa can beat the prices, and for the price you pay, my nails come out great all the time.
Also, Yuya will always try to fit you in no matter how busy you are. If the place does get busy and they need more workers, the owner (Didi) simply calls more workers to come in for the day.
(-) My past experience with other workers has not been so great. One woman there was so rough with my nails when she was filing them for acrylics. And if i backed my hand out due to the pain, she got mad and told me to stop moving. I forgot her name, but she was WAY too rough with my nails. Since then, I never got anything done by her. There is also a male worker who reeks of cigarettes. It’s just not a pleasant smell while getting your nails done. Also, there’s not much of a color selection of nail polishes.
I think the experience here really differs with which worker you get. Joyce isn’t here anymore, so I don’t know if I would go back to Yuya.

I’ve been going to Yuya ever since they opened. They have great service friendly workers. Prices are very reasonable compare to other nail salons. I highly recommend this place. They always have specials going on.

Been coming here for more than 2 years and always leave with a smile on my face. I’m very picky with my nails and yuya always ensures I am satisfied… thank you yuya for always pampering me…

This is the only place to go in the foothills. Nice place, lovely people, affordable, and clean. Many of our daughters’ friends now go here, too. They do a great job, and have deals Monday through Wednesday.

I think I used to literally live at this salon. I was a very consistent customer and loved my regular nail lady, Winnie. After she left things went south.
I would get all my services done here: mani, pedi, waxes… But after two consecutive burn incidents I had to let this place go.
Although they did apologize and give me a $ 10 discount the first time (which was nothing considering I waxed my arms and full legs), they still managed to burn me at my next visit!
I now take my business down the street! Sorry YuYa

I think I have been going to Yuya for about 4 years now. I think it’s a great family business.
I like to do my pedicures and lashes there.
Dede does the best eyelashes. I have had eye lash extensions for 7 years now. I have tried a number of places and this one is the best price, and the best look.
Amy gives the best massages, and pedicures.
I would say this is a hidden la crescenta Gem

$ 20 for a mani/​pedi to keep my feet flip flop ready is a good deal.
My friend and Unilocaler Kris A. told me about this nail salon and their great special, so I had to check it out. I think the special runs Monday through Wednesday, but confirm that when you make an appointment. Also, don’t expect a lot of extra bells and whistles, but they’ll do a good job for a fair price.
Parking signs in the lot specify 30 minutes which is strange because there’s no way you are getting in and out in 30 minutes even with two manicurists working on your fingers and toes at the same time.

I have been in here a few times for waxing and nails. Joyce is good at waxing, generally, except I got burned. Dee Dee (the owner) is too rough. This is my issue. For one, it’s not sanitary in this joint. It’s kinda gross when you see hairs on the towels while getting waxed and you know they are not yours. I would have remained a regular customer, but my face was BURNED after getting waxed. I could not get waxed for 2 months, so I could let my face heal. The worst part is besides the fact that it was on my face, Dee dee (the owner) did NOT refund my money. She is completely out of her mind, if she thinks me getting a face wax for free 1 time compensates for this. No, at the VERY LEAST, you return the customer’s money to avoid a LAWSUIT !!! I don’t want a free face wax after getting burned. That’s insane and the fact I even went back to get waxed for my body was quite generous on my end. So, by not deducting the difference for a face wax from me getting my body waxed, she has lost a regular customer. I’m not the only one that has gotten burned, either. That same day, another girl came back with her arm all messed up. It was either burned or something was growing on there (That’s what it looked like and either of those being burned or a fungus due to unsanitary conditions are unacceptable !!) You can see for yourself in the pic how bad it was !! BEWARE before going to Yuya Spa. It’s my new NoNo in my book !!
P. S. I will be filing a case in small claims court, especially since it appears to be that ripping off and insulting customers’ intelligence is their specialty !!

I found Yuya on Unilocal when it had better ratings… So I gave it a shot.
I called them and found out a gel mani is only $ 20! That’s insanely cheap!
I went and got my gel mani, and it took the lady 1.5 hours to finish, since she was working on me and another girl at the same time.
My gel polish was peeling off the next day… So I went to get it fixed for free. This took 30 min. And keep in mind it was just to fix 2 nails. The following day, another nail peeled off. I went back, and same story.
Another time I went to get a pedicure. They said they can take me and sat me in the spa chair. I waited 20 minutes for a guy to drive over from his house to do my pedicure. My feet were pruney, and I was unhappy.
Therefore, yuya is on my black list.

BEWARE! Rude — Unsanitary — Disrespectful
I went in to get my gels removed. They dunked my nails in a bowl of acetone, ripped the gel polish off of my nail bed one time.
The next time I went in, same thing happened, but i requested that they use cotton and foil wraps, so the owner (didi) her brother ended up doing it even though he would have rather cut corners and not do it.
He was working on my nails and just ditched me when a customer walked in for a mani pedi, and then proceeded to jump between us.
He was not following sanitary guidelines — the instruments were not sterilized after he used them on me.
He yelled at me like i was a child when i went to touch my fingernails (i had no polish on them) he yelled «Dont touch your nails!»
They’re my nails, why cant I touch my own nails? That was the last straw for me. I was gone seconds after and they yelled after me to come back — NEVER EVER again.
p. s. Didi the owner said that gels are not suppose to last for more than 10 days — $ 25.00 for only 10 days… what a RIP OFF! She is soooo greedy! I suspect they use regular nailpolish when you ask for gel and then put a coat of clear gel on top
to seal it. because it doesn’t last at all.
I went to another salon and my gels have last 3 weeks and they still look good.
Ill probably go to buff and tweeze down the road for my pedicures — theyre always so busy!

I have been coming here for years and I always get amazing service
I have never waited for more then 10 min without any appointment
They also have a great gel polish selection that I love! Great place to come
