I can honestly say they've never let me down. Every visit has been consistently excellent--from the quality of the nail designs to the warm hospitality and genuine conversations with the staff. They always make me feel welcome and take the time to ensure I'm happy with the final result. One thing I really appreciate is how transparent they are with their pricing. Their prices are also very fair for the quality of work and service you receive, which makes every visit feel worthwhile. The salon is clean, relaxing, and the attention to detail is evident in every appointment. Whether you're looking for a simple manicure or a more intricate design, they consistently deliver beautiful work. If you're looking for a new nail salon in Whittier or the surrounding area, I highly recommend giving A La Mode Nail Spa & Lounge a try. It's been my go-to for the last year, and I always leave happy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for great service, talented technicians, and a welcoming atmosphere. I personally go to Kevin for manicures and Mi for pedicures! read more

The place is very nice, and they stay open later than most nail salons. My gel manicure was done very quickly and was about $50. 2 days later my nails chipped. Sad to say I won't be going back. There was a lady there complaining about being charged more every time and the quality of work not being good. I now understand why. read more

A La Mode Nail Spa & Lounge - Chipped polish - Waxing Near Me - Whittier, California

I want to share my experience about A La Mode Nail Spa and Lounge. I'm not that girl, but I possibly just had the worst mani pedi of my life. The polish was chunky and messy. I only ever get OPI "Put It In Neutral," and they went and found a bottle labeled that, but I can guarantee you they poured another color into it. Getting my nails done is my one treat, and I am so disappointed. I tried to tell the ladies working on me, but when it became clear they couldn't fix it, I just wanted to get it done so I could leave. I'll be hiding my nails for at least the next week. The owners seem nice enough, but I will not be going back. read more

I sent them a message on Yelp to see about their availability for a pedicure. They were prompt in responding and luckily I was able to walk right in. Pros: Quick response on Yelp, clean, relaxing environment, lots of chairs. Chairs were comfortable. They had lots of colors to choose from, and a booklet with their options and prices clearly laid out. The technician did a decent enough job with my nails. They offer Zelle as payment so as to forego the $1 fee for paying with credit/debit, and they also have an ATM machine. Cons: I asked for the Decadent Pedicure with Gel, which according to their menu is $45. However, when I was charged, I was charged $55 rather than the $45 they advertised. Perhaps they thought I had asked for the Indulgent Bliss Spa, for which I would understand the charge. However if that was the case, I'd have received the wax treatment, which I didn't get. I had gel on my nails already, but if they charged $10 to take off, I was not informed and that seems like a steep price for that service. Overall, I liked the place, but not sure I will be going out of my way to go back based on the ambiguities around the charges. read more

I honestly really wanted to like this place because I was looking for a new nail salon after relocating to Whittier. I had been going to the same nail shop in Anaheim for about four years, so finding a new place has been a mission. During my first appointment, I got a Gel-X set with a blue and orange design, and I absolutely loved my nails. They were done with care, looked great, and lasted well over a month. The only downside was my pedicure--it felt rushed, and the massage was very short, but overall it was decent enough that I decided to come back. Unfortunately, my second visit was a completely different experience. I got a very basic, short square Gel-X set with one solid color, so I wasn't asking for anything complicated. The service felt rushed from beginning to end, and I felt like the staff was focused more on getting through appointments than providing quality work. Within one day, my thumbnail started lifting. I returned two days later to have it fixed, and while they did repair it, only a few days after that the same nail is already chipping and lifting again around the sides. It's only been about a week since my appointment, and that simply shouldn't be happening with a basic Gel-X set. My pedicure was also disappointing for the second time. The massage lasted no more than a minute or two, if that. When I got home, I actually had to use my own pumice stone and foot scrub to finish exfoliating my feet. The acrylic on my big toe was also applied unevenly, and the corner has already chipped. I've been getting my nails and feet done for years, so I know normal wear and tear versus work that wasn't done thoroughly. For such simple sets--short square nails with a solid color, occasional French tips, or simple designs--I expect them to be neat, durable, and long-lasting. Instead, I experienced lifting, chipping, uneven application, and rushed service. I gave this salon a second chance because my first nail set was so good, but after two visits I don't think I'll be returning. It's disappointing because I really hoped I had found my new nail salon, but consistency and quality are important to me, and unfortunately I didn't experience that here and it only been a week. read more

2 stars overall . I went in for a pedi. $35 which was only $5 more than the regular pedi. Terrible service. Cuticle was not removed, nail polish was left clumpy and it was over in less than 15 minutes. Also tech used an already previously used nail file on my toes . Nothing else dove to my toes by filing. I came in with cut nails and no polish as I was going to do my own toes but ran out of time. I saw her putting it back to probably use on the next person. Gross . I just didn't have the energy to say anything. At the mail shops I go to , they clean my nails, remove cuticle and open new pack of tools. Also massage my feet. I paid $5 more for a scrub and was done fast/hard with gloves , I felt like a rug burn on my feet :/ Spot is nice but not as clean. Staff isn't friendly. Not from the area . I was visiting my sister . I'd never come back though. $35 bucks wasted and I do a better job. I really didn't feel pampered. My friend paid more for her pedi and her nail polish started cracking within a few hours :/ 2 as I really liked my color . From far away you can't tell too too much that it's a bad pedi ... I guess. read more

They wanted me to remove this review in order to get a refund for my nails. I believe I should put a review with a better star rate just for giving me a refund for my hands even though my pedicure was awful that was not refunded but I think it's wrong to make me remove it. When I went back I asked for my nails to be taken off which they did but I was given a hard time to get my money back for poor quality and crooked nails. This place is clean but service can be better. The receptionist is the owners partner I believe which he is a male at the reception desk where you have to pay. The owner was not friendly at all but I believe having a male at the front is just for their protection. I am a female and not afraid of males and have no issues with confrontation. There's cameras inside by each chair and yes they invade your privacy, as which the owner told me herself I won't explain what else happened on my review since they know. I was still told when leaving to come back and no I will not ever come back after my first experience here. read more

I had a wonderful experience here today! Michelle and Trancy did an amazing job on my full set and pedicure. They were both incredibly sweet, friendly, and made great conversation throughout my appointment. I left loving my nails! I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great full set and pedicure. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The FASTEST pedicure of my life! By the time I sat down, my whole pedicure was done in 10 minutes. The excuse that was used was "you're young so your feet just didn't need that much". They even looked at the CCTV and he couldn't give me any other answer. I watched the girl walk away and sit on her phone across from me longer than the whole pedicure was. I looked at the paint job after I left and even the paint job was sloppy. One of my nails isn't even fully painted. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. - Update - I'm sorry but this place does not value relaxation or its customers AT ALL. The manager is just trying to make the business look better. I've read a lot of the other low star reviews and he's doing the same thing. Hopefully you guys have a better time than I did or find a more caring business! read more

I've been coming here for about a year now and I thought it was finally time to give these guys a well deserved review. This place always feels clean and they always take me in even without an appointment. They always do such a beautiful job and I think at this point I've experienced most of the nail techs. They come around and offer you drinks (a cappuccino in the morning! Or have a glass of wine in the evening) Love coming here read more

Went in today to get a pedicure. From the start, the nail tech would not stop texting!! She kept stopping working on my toes to pull out her phone, text a dissertation and then go back to my feet. Hello, cross-contamination! Totally ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing experience. It got so bad, I finally got up and left. I highly doubt I'll be back. read more

Horrible experience. I called ahead and asked for pricing for Gel-X nails and a gel pedicure. I was given a price, then confirmed AGAIN in person before they started. The male receptionist confirmed it was correct. After my service was done, they tried charging me a completely different amount. When I questioned it, his excuse was that it "depends on the picture you show" and tried claiming my French tip was a "deep rooted French tip" with "angulation" (whatever that even means). I've never heard of that in my life. They also rush like crazy to take as many clients as possible. I got cut multiple times with the drill/tools and my nails aren't even sealed properly. Unprofessional, dishonest pricing, and terrible service. First and last time here. read more

Came last minute on a Friday evening and it wasn't busy... that should have been a clue to go elsewhere. Place is really nice, chairs are comfortable but that's it. I'm new to area and trying to find my new pedicure spot. This is definitely not it. This was the FASTEST pedicure of my life. From the time I sat down to when she was done took 15 mins. I got a mid tier pedicure so it wasn't the cheapest one to maybe warrant a fast service. She didn't cut my toe nails or clean up the nail bed/ remove cuticles. I did not see her open a clean tool pouch to remove the dirt from underneath my nails and she just returned it to use it another client. Nail polish is sloppy on the edges and massage was maybe 2 mins. The whole service was $62 + $1 to use credit card and $5 tip...all for 15 mins!!! Never in my life have I spent that much for such quick service. Usually takes an hour. This explains why a place w so many chairs was near empty on a Friday evening. The girl next to me came in maybe 5 mins after me and she was done at the same time as me. She had a pedicure and not sure if a nail fill or a nail fix but she had 2 people working on her and she was done in 10 mins. I wanted to talk to her outside to see if she had come here before but it was dark and I didn't see her. I'm a stay at home mom and it's difficult for me to get out yo get pedicures done. I had 1/2 grown out old gel polish and felt completely robbed of my relaxing evening of wanting a good pedicure. I regret not saying anything. I didn't want them talking about me so I just paid and left. Don't come here, place is a rip off. Update: received message from business to say my experience was not accurate based on their reviewed footage they took at my chair. I stand by everything I said except they said my service took 30 mins not 15 mins. It still felt rushed and it's still not worth the money. read more

A La Mode Nail Spa & Lounge - Fantastic nails done by Christine! - Waxing Near Me - Whittier, California

Never going back. I went here twice and both times they used fingernail clippers on my toe nails causing an ingrown toenail. Fingernail clippers have curved blades because our fingernails curve. Toenail clippers have flat blades because our toenails are flat. Using a fingernail clipper on toenails causes them to curve down and grow into the toe and hurt. My toe started that night, so I had to get my toenail clippers, pull the side of the nail up away from the toe and cut the part that was digging into my toe. As soon as I pulled the nail up my toe started bleeding from where it was growing into my toe. I'm surprised and disappointed that a nail salon would make such an amateur mistake. read more

I do not like giving bad reviews to businesses, but I can't get past my experience here today. This was my second time here for a pedicure. The first time I came here was about two years ago and I had a great experience, but today I was very disappointed in my pedicure. My pedicure felt very rushed, no dirt or debris was removed from under or around my nails and I still have dry, dead skin around my toes. As soon as my nail tech was done with my service and my polish was drying, she immediately started working on someone else, but I did not see her grab clean tools to use on the next client. I can only help but wonder if clean tools were used on me or anyone else in the salon. I was not happy with my experience or service. Will not be going back. read more

V did an amazing job with my gel pedi. She is very careful around your cuticles which I appreciate. ( I've been nicked at other shops but not here! Thank you! read more

Trinty did a wonderful job on my pedicure. Love love, will definitely be back and the customer service was great as well.

I went to this establishment twice. Both times I went in for hard gel manicure. The first time I came in I had a good service. My nail tech even complimented how strong and healthy my nails were. I said it was because i took a long break from getting my nails done professionally. I came back the second time and had a different nail tech. it was an ok service. i noticed that she didn't use a newly sealed and clean set of tools. anyway, i went to try a new salon today and when they removed the nail polish, 6 of my finger nail beds had a fungal infection. the nail tech asked if i knew that this is how my nails usually are and said no. my nails have never looked this bad. it's been really traumatizing and embarrassing for me to the point that i don't ever want to get my nails done professionally again. read more

This was my first time here because I was looking for a new salon closer to my house. Christine did my nails, and I originally went in for a gel builder fill. However, when she started filing my nails, she realized that a lot of my gel was lifting and so she recommended soak off and new gel builder which I did. She also was very friendly and after talking for a bit we decided to shape my nails in a new shape that I've been wanting to try, but was nervous to, and I absolutely love it. The service was amazing and I will definitely return. read more

The nail place is OK. They do not take credit cards, only Zelle which is an inconvenience. They should say this when customers make an appointment. Also, I was very surprised to see that the girl who did my pedicure lightly washed the nail clippers and another tools after assisting me with water and then placed them back in her cart to go help the other customer. I don't think this salon effectively sterilized their nail tools. I won't be back here. read more

They left my nails crooked, when I went to get the same set I had before which was 100 they then charge me 125 when I asked why they told me for the designs, which didn't make sense because it was the same exact design because one of the manicurist couldn't figure out how to do the flowers I asked for properly she thought it would be fair to charge me extra for her wasting her own time and having to do my nails Over and over because she couldn't get it right. And then when I left I had rhinestones missing I had just left I go on the bus because it's so close to home I had already been there 5 hours because they messed up and uppriced me then had the audacity to tell me they actually gave me a discount that's bull. Theale at the front desk can't hear You out he just wants to be heard and not take the feedback I asked for partial refund for the job my nails had piece of the metal from the container they were in on my flower it's ridiculous. THEY WILL NOT REFUND YOU FOR A TERRIBLE JOB horrible customer service I do not want to come Back and I should not have to come back from sitting in a chair for 5 hours and paying 125 for nails that I got done for 100 before I don't care if the policy is 5 days that shouldn't be happening and if it is stop overpricing for shitty work. Stupid male at the front tried telling me if I wasn't happy with the work I shouldn't have left same way I could have made it more clear I wasn't happy with the nails your nail tech could have said I don't know how to do this design instead of taking hours and wasting product trying to figure it out that it not my fault and I should not be punished for your nail tech issues read more
