Teeken Nails

Freakin’ love this place! I am not the the type of girl who gets her nails done often (generally I was a strictly special occasion kind of girl and not even then sometimes) I always found it expensive, time consuming and ultimately a waste because it was gone in a matter of weeks if that. However since coming to Teeken nails I am a convert and I now go in whenever I have the chance. I no longer dread going to get my nails done thanks to the ladies and gentlemen at Teeken!

This place has HORRIBLE service waited for almost two hours to get in because they refuse to do appointments, then started taking people that came in behind us because only two people could do acrylics, unacceptable. If you don’t have two plus hours to wait around don’t come to this nail salon.

This place is horrible. Do yourself a favor and visit
N & S nails on arrow hwy. super nice & friendly and they do a fabulous job.

I came with my daughter to receive mani/​pedis. We have frequented this place on several occasions. Quality was of the norm; nothing to rave about. What lost me as a customer occurred during my last visit in which I sat there and listened to these two women disrespectfully shit talking about my daughter and I in Vietnamese, not knowing I’m Vietnamese. It made me think of how many undetected shit talks go on day by day, customer by customer. If a work environment condones and allows this type of behavior, it surely is just their work culture. And if it is within their work culture, then these sweet Asian ladies are working on your fingers and toes, as they’re smiling at you and asking about your family and boyfriend, while little Vietnamese pieces of shit plops their way out and exchanges to one another. Yes, ladies, the tall tale rumor is true. They DO talk about you in their language.

Another happy customer. Love my nails and design. Already recommended mom and sisters to come here.

For its price, it was pretty worth it. Not the nicest looking nail place but its decent. I just usually go to Cherry Blossom, which is very modern and clean-​looking, but they don’t have massage chairs. I would come back to Teeken Nails.
I got the Spa Pedicure (massage chair with pedicure): $ 15. The process of soaking my foot, cutting my nails, massaging it, and doing my nails was pleasant. I got a design for my big toes and that costed an extra $ 5. My total came out to be $ 20 and tipped them $ 5 on top of that.
The unfortunate thing was that they did the lines for my designs on one toe thicker than the other foot. One of the toes also chipped a little after one day when I have not done any rigorous activity that may have chipped my nails easily.
I would still come back here because their pricing is fairly cheaper than Cherry Blossom and they are capable of doing some decent designs. I checked out their instagram page. Many designs looked pretty.

Since my usual nail tech is on maternity leave, I’ve been on a mission (of what seems impossible) to find a new nail tech. So I can here because I needed to remove my acrylics. I paid $ 5 so she can rips the acrylic off my nails. I asked if they soaked nails first, and according to the girl (didn’t get a name) they don’t soak nails. Which I feel is a load of crap! Who doesn’t soak nails?! Since when? She was friendly and talkative which is why they got 2 stars. She literally took the acrylics off and filed my nails. That was pretty much it. Needless to say I was very unimpressed. I would have gotten a mani but I really wasn’t feeling that place.
Oh and if you use your card, they charge $ 2 per transaction. Lame.

Wow I’ve never experienced worse customer service I walked in and everyone was with a customer but no one even greeted me. They looked at me and looked away. I waited at the front for about a min still no one said anything. There was a sign in sheet and so I guessed I should sign in. So I did expecting some one to at least give me a wait time. Something! I waited for 15 min and they clearly saw me because I was the only one waiting. Finally I approached the guy in front and he told me there was 3 people ahead. At this point I wasn’t even going to wait. So rude at least they could’ve said hi!!! I just walked out. Sucks because I’m a loyal, not picky customer!
I also tried calling to make an appointment before I went in because I wanted to avoid waiting and they told me they aren’t taking appointments because this week is a holiday (even though the holiday is 2 days away) so I asked if they could take me and they said yes come on in.
I work in the cosmetology customer service field I get it. It’s busy but, at least acknowledge clients when they walk in. Don’t treat me like I’m invisible!!! I really wouldn’t have minded waiting if they would have at least said something.
Zero stars for horrible customer service.

They are quick, clean, and affordable.
Take cash but if you forget, they have an atm inside.
Follow them on instagram for design ideas!

This place is great! Kenny is amazing and took his time, which I appreciate. They don’t take appointments on Fridays or Saturdays so beware there may be a long wait.

My cousin got me a gift certificate as a bridal gift to teeken nails. A few days before my wedding I stopped by to get a spa mani and pedi with my maid of honor. We came on a weekday in the afternoon and had the whole salon to ourselves. The service was top notch! We each had 2 ladies working on our nails and I loved that they took their time. Along with the mani pedi, they took time to give us a foot and hand massage. It was a nice way to relax and be pampered before the wedding.
I’m not big on keeping up with my nails but if ever there’s an event I need to attend, I’m definitely coming back here to jazz up those toes and fingers of mine. Teeken nails, you get two pretty thumbs up from me!

This is my first time at this nail salon, wanted to give it a try here because of the reviews it had and since I just moved to this area I need a nail salon to go to. I got a pedi and gel mani.
I didn’t get the name of the lady who did my pedi but she an older lady, she did an okay job. Her painting job is not that great, she got some nail polish on my smallest toe and she didn’t clean it. I didn’t like that she asked if I wanted to get a callus remover and I told her no thank you (from all my past experience I don’t see the difference from just a regular scrub and a callus remover that is why i said no) and in Vietnamese she says «working on this girl, I’m not making money» (I’m half Vietnamese so I understand and i guess she didn’t know) which I found rude.
As for my gel mani, I believe her name was Jennifer, she seems very careless. Her work was okay too, her painting is not great.
I didn’t like the receptionist, when I first walked in she just stared at me until I said hi to her and then she responded hi, still no «how can I help you» or «please sign in». So I looked down on the counter and realized I had to sign in, when I was done signing she still didn’t say anything, no «please pick a color» or «please have a seat someone will be right with you» or something. I honestly think it’s a waste for the salon to have her there. As I was there I watched what she did. She didn’t do much and her attitude is not very welcoming.

Bumping my review up to 5 STARS for their SUPER DUPER Customer service!
Seriously, for being a random, 1-​dollar-​sign-​on-​yelp nail salon in the middle of West Covina, the big boss lady of this place knows how to make a customer happy.
Apparently after expressing my disappointment in my previous review, THE VERY NEXT MORNING the business owner personally messaged me via Unilocal and offered to fix my nails FREE of charge since she said their gel manicures come with a 1-​week guarantee. I was so surprised!
I came in that afternoon expecting them to fix the 3 nails that had peeled, but BOOM! they voluntarily chose to remove all polish off my hands completely and start brand spankin’ new!
The boss lady did my nails for me herself! She remembered how the last time I was here, I had mentioned I was going to a friend’s wedding, so she asked me how it went — WOW crazy nice (I don’t even remember mentioning that to her haahah…).
It’s been a week since they fixed my nails, and unlike last time, my nails are still flawless. Now I just hope this place will consistently do a good job.
Highly recommend this place — can’t wait to tell the homegirlz to come!
Excuse my excessive use of exclamation points — this place just makes me happy! hahaha

Today was my 1^st time here and I love how my acrylic full set and pedi came out. Been in search of a clean, skilled, and professional nail salon for a few months now and I think this place is it! My Unilocal search found this place. The pictures uploaded displaying their skills is what convinced me to give it a try. I have had my nails done for just about 20 yrs. now so I know what I want and who to let service me.
I arrived just as they opened their doors. Greeted and serviced immediately. The shop is spacious, organized, and clean. On one tv screen a slide show of all their instagram nail pics were playing and on the other was music videos– they must had copied my vevo playlist lol.
Service:
Pedi– She was thorough, paid great attention to detail, and before polishing she did a final exam of each nail again to ensure length of each nail was the same. Didn’t get much of a massage but that’s ok. The quality of her work was great.
Acrylic full set– He said «I’ll take you when you’re ready.» When i was ready for him he asked if i was happy with my pedi b4 starting on my hands. He was quick so taking off my old set wasn’t painful. By the way he moved I can tell he knew what he was doing. So I had trust to not watch like an hawk. At the end my nails were perfect. My rule is at a new place I would only allow a fill to see skill set and I have to guide the tech to do what I want. Then if it was good I would allow for a full set on a future visit and still hold my breath in seeing if everything would be ok then. Glad I took a chance. It was absolutely perfect. The overall shape, smoothness, thickness, edges around the cuticle edges, and polishing with design.
I noticed the owners (husband/​wife dual) were really good at communicating with each client. Letting us know who was doing what and when. There’s nothing worse than sitting around wondering if you are next and when. I’m definately coming back. THANK YOU!

I was very pleased when this nail salon opened — closer to my house than the Walnut/​Diamond Bar salons. They are clean and attentive to the details. They also do great work: check out their Instagram, @teekennails, to see for yourself. The manager, Terri, is friendly and runs a tight ship.
Docking a star because their prices have increased as of April 2015: $ 35 instead of $ 30 for a gel mani and regular pedi. This puts them on par, more or less, with the other salons I used to patronize. Also, their nail techs are somewhat unenthusiastic when it comes to suggesting nail polish colors and combos. I know English isn’t the first language for many so I’m not expecting anyone to make conversation, but it would be nice to hear some feedback about color options, especially since you don’t really know what the gel colors look like until you actually have a layer or two of it on your nails.
Tip: BRING CASH! They accept card, but it’s $ 2/​transaction (!!!), and while they have an ATM machine, it costs $.50 to withdraw money. They accept tip ONLY in cash.

My 1^st time here, prices are great! Kenny was my nail tech, he was very nice, took his time on my mess. Salon is cute with TV screen showing all their designs. They gave great customer service, offered mini cold water bottles when I sat down. I will def be back for fills, pedi & maybe try out a design!
Update: 2days after 2 nails broke and gel peeled off!
Never went back again

Large and clean salon. Nice staff. $ 20 gel manicure with $ 1 matte top coat plus $ 15 spa pedicure. Not bad.
