    Gel X ballerina nails
    Marlene V.

    First timer and will definitely come back. Came in for a gel x manicure and regular pedicure. Staff was friendly and welcoming, assisted right away. Plenty of colors to choose from!

    I came in for a gel polish removal and manicure set . I told the lady i wanted a short trim and almond shape (which i came in with) , she cut the lenth of my ring finger and i agreed with it then proceeded to cut the rest unevenly , i tried to trust the process , she asked again what shape i said i want almond which ive gotten before (a short almond) she proceeds to do "coffin"!?!? I tear up bc my nail is so short at that point i tell her thats fine , i dont get a color and they still make me pay the 28$ . On top of that the lady hurt me so many times and they still made me pay

    One of my favorite sets here at 1st street nail. I loved how Ana made my vision come to life! Have been a regular customer for a longtime with basic gel mani. Decided to try something different and they nailed it!

    Very nice and clean nail salon, loved Ana's vibe and personality. I had my nails done at another nail salon and they left them horribly wrong, I then came across 1st street nails and decided to come in, Ana fixed my nails and left them gorgeous just the way I wanted them, she also did my eyebrows and I loved them, definitely coming back this will be my new nail salon. Thank you

    I wanted all my cuticles gone and just a simple clear polish she offered a skin tone one I love it !!

    After a couple years of not getting my nails done and. Going to another shop and them giving me issues due to too much cuticle I came here on a whim and I can say I'm very very happy Susan was so beyond sweet and kind she helped me out and understood what I wanted didn't push extra mad eme very comfortable and just bright my faith back in a nail salon she gained a repeat customer in me guaranteed I will be back I'm very happy and thank you Susan I feel like a girl again LoL

    My loveeeeeeee!! I…read moreactually went and got my nails done today so I am super excited to write this review. There is no one better than Tammy because she loves what she does and always strives for excellence. She is an artist and is always down to try new designs. Sometimes, I love going to her and telling her to do whatever she wants and they always turn out super cute! You have to make an appointment and she works out of her home but she is very flexible and accommodating. She is one of the most friendliest people you will ever meet and you'll never be disappointed with your nails.

    I absolutely adore Tammy! Not only is she super talented and professional she is a lovely human…read morebeing. I started seeing Tammy about a year and a half ago and I have followed her wherever she goes since. Her current studio is super cozy and I love the fact that her services are one on one, that means no one else in the studio while you get your services. She also doesn't work with acrylic so there is no bad chemical smell to deal with which is something else I love. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. Tammy has a great artistic sense and her attention to detail is what I love most about her nail artistry. She has helped me grow my nails out with gel overlay and my toes have never gotten as many compliments as they have after I started seeing her for pedis. The nail art Tammy creates is so fun. Like I said before, she is very talented and is a great collaborator whenever I have a hard time deciding on a design. Shes at her most creative when working without limitations but can also easily make an inspiration picture your very own special moment. I enjoy simple yet intricate designs that won't interfere with my mostly active lifestyle. I have made it to 4 weeks in between appointment when traveling but prefer to see her regularly after 2.5-3 weeks to avoid potential breakage since I grew my nails out. It's also super addicting to have gorgeous nails and toes so I try to be as consistent as possible. When I started seeing Tammy I had broken up with my regular manicurist of 5+ years. My nails would often break because of the poor care that my natural nails received, they were being overly filed, my fingers were overly soaked, overly cut cuticles, wrongly shaped nails that would break easily and I would walk away feeling unhappy more often than not towards the end. Tammy changed all that! Getting my nails done is a lovely self care routine now and I would be lost without it! Last thing I'll add is that I drive from Santa Monica to San Gabriel and I don't think twice about it because I value quality and attention to detail above the convenience of and uncertainty of going to a random salon down the street. Oh and one last thing... the charm, jewels, decals, chromes, glitters and shell selection is AMAZING!!!!!

Even after moving farther away, I still go out of my way to come here. The service is immaculate. Everyone is so polite, friendly, and genuinely attentive, always making sure I'm comfortable and completely happy with my service. They offer complimentary refreshments (one per guest), which is such a sweet touch -- my friends and I always go for the mimosas. Over the years, I've noticed constant upgrades to the space. They're always improving the ambiance, from the new massage pedicure chairs to the new check-in screen at the front. Omg also they're now offering head spa services, which I'm definitely booking for my next self-care day! Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the exceptional service and overall vibe. I love bringing my loved ones here because they almost always end up coming back on their own. You can tell the team takes pride in their work. Truly one of the best places for a pedicure in LA!!!

    Worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. My nail…read moretech Sana was amazing and my pedicure went so well that I decided to do gel extensions. Due to the fact that I loved my toe color so much that I wanted matching nails. I was told there might be enough of the jelly polish but she thought she could make it work. The tech that was so lovely doing my pedi but didn't know how to do gel extensions so they had some other lady take over and that's where everything went downhill fast. She was not very friendly, came and started rushing the whole process. Apparently they didn't have enough of the color I loved and said they had a "new bottle" they found in the back which I checked to make sure it was the same color and they said it was. It wasn't till way later I realized the bottle she was using didn't look the same that was used in my toes and I grew weary. I asked if I could step into the sunlight because it was hard to see the difference in the lighting they had and she didn't let me. Then came the part of my design. It looked horrible because she rushed so fast into it and didn't check with me after doing the first nail to make sure I was satisfied. She just rushed through the whole thing and cured it so by the time I saw what she had done I hated it. I told her I was unhappy and tried to get her to fix it. We agreed she wouldn't charge for the design and I begrudgingly agreed cause I'm not a jerk. Now comes the part where I was so upset to realize when I go to pay over $200 that my nails don't match my toe nail color and they in fact switched the color and tried to pawn it off as the same. I told them this was unfair and they needed to fix this somehow. I was kind, didn't raise my voice or make a scene. I was upset but respectful in my approach and I was gaslit and told there's nothing they could do after spending over $200. I couldn't believe the lack of customer service. I had to push so hard to finally get them to agree to changing it and every secondary option I chose they didn't have in stock. I was sat there wasting my time for over an hour trying to force myself to pick something I didn't really like. Not till I wasted so much time they finally bring out more gel colors and I finally picked one I'm still not happy with but I didn't want a refund because I also didn't want to hurt them. They were so unkind and impatient with me. The only reason why I gave 2 stars is cause Sana my nail tech deserved 5 stars for how sweet and understanding she was. However, I was made to feel like I was the problem when they clearly tried to pull one over me and didn't like that I didn't just accept it and were happy to take my money and send me on my way. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. Overpriced, terrible customer service worst experience at a nail salon.

    I've been consistently coming to Friendly Nails for the last few years. I usually call first thing…read morein the morning to check their availability for the same day & if it's too busy I'll ask to book an appointment for the next day or future date. All of the nail techs are great! I request for Cici when I want to do cat-eye or more simple gel manicures. If I want more artsy designs, I'll usually request for Ella or Karen. Gel manis are still $45, with full cat-eye adding an additional $15. Hand drawn art design nails may add between $4-6 per nail, depending on the design; while if you're okay with stickers, it may be $2-3/each. More intricate nail designs will require more time & cost more depending on what it is -- so I would inform them if this is something you want to do so they can allot the right amount of time for your booking. I typically spend about 1.5-2 hours to get my nails done (including removing the previous months' nails, nail trimming, shaping, cuticles, etc.) As stated before: Easy parking in the First St. structure behind the shop. Restroom available in the back of the store & always clean. They also do have bottled water, if needed.

    My Response to Business owner :…read more Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify that my review is based on a realistic account of the service I received on May 19, 2026. While you describe the pace as 'efficient,' the service was incomplete by standard industry definitions. Specifically, the pedicure did not include the essential steps of a foot scrub, a foot massage, or cuticle cleaning. These are standard components of the service I paid for, and their omission is why I felt the experience was unsatisfactory. Furthermore, my comments regarding the tip were not a reflection of a personal preference, but rather a reaction to the staff's persistent pressure. When service falls short of the expected standard, I believe a customer should be able to decline a gratuity without being pressured by staff to justify that decision. My goal in sharing this review was simply to provide honest feedback regarding my experience, and I stand by the account I provided.
