Literally walked in to a nearly empty nail salon and was told they were too "busy" to take me. 3pm on a Friday and was told to come back tomorrow... yeah. I won't come back ever considering there are countless nail shops in Hollywood. Something's aren't worth the fight. Took their card. Took my money elsewhere. C'est La Vie read more

Such lovely service! Quick and great quality. And the sweetest ladies! Had a wonderful conversation and enjoyed the whole experience!

What an amazing place. Kim is the absolute best!!! She made me feel so comfortable, unlike other nail salons that I have been through throughout the years. Thank you Kim for my sexy hands. read more

I love this place it always feels like a little community every time I step in. Great service and even greater prices for the area. Make sure to make an appointment before arriving because they only have a few people that work there. read more

C'est La Vie - I love this place. Great service , Even greater prices for the area. Make sure to make an appointment before going. - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Kim and Judy are wonderful! I have lived in the area for years and will never go anywhere else. Judy usually does my nails. She is always accommodating, attentive, and sweet. Prices are also affordable and I am always pleased. If a nail breaks between visits they are always happy to repair it for you free of charge. Love these ladies!!! read more

LOVED THIS PLACE! I was in Hollywood when I realized that I needed a last minute gel mani. So I called them and Kim was extremely nice and told me that I could come in for a last minute appt. (basically a walk-in). She basically saved my nails from a horrendous mani gel I had gotten a week prior. She shaped my nails exactly as I wished and even recommended an awesome, summery nail color for my gel mani. She was awesome!!! Definitely will be back when I'm in the area read more

Excellent service. I'm visiting from out of town and was worried I wouldn't have time to get a proper manicure. I called and scheduled an appointment within two hours. They are super personable and work quickly without sacrificing quality. The price was reasonable and I was highly impressed. I LOVE my sparkly pink nails :) read more

Friendly and quick service, for fair prices. Very sweet ladies running the place. This will be my go to in my new neighborhood!

My new local mani pedi spot! Love the friendly customer service and the price. It's only $17 for a spa pedicure. You can't best this price! If you're looking for a bargain without the frills, this is THE place! read more

I got my nails done a week ago it was a pretty good price I got gel acrylics but it has only been a WEEK today and my nails are off. My long acrylics usually stay for about 3 weeks no lie . And it was not nice at all they only had 2 employees and since I'm a teen she assumed I wanted short nails but I always get long and she was like "are you sure ? Can you still clean your butt?" Like really what kind of comment is that .. especially to a new customer ! Never going back I wish I could get my money back smh my nails already came off ! Only from one week ago . read more

I have lived in LA for 2.5 years now and I finally found my go-to nail salon! Kim is amazing at what she does! She picked out the perfect color for me and shaped it the perfect shape! I left a very happy customer! I will most definitely be coming back to Kim. read more

C'est La Vie - Manicure done by Kim Ha :) thanks Chi Ha! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came in today for a full set and 3 workers in there with NO customers told me to come later wtf I hate lazy ass people !! And I tip fat f this place read more

Just had a last minute gel manicure done here by Kim who did an amazing job and was super sweet. Will come back here, for sure. Peace

I would just like to say how i absolutely dislike establishments that do not have prices for their services. my bad for not asking prior to getting my full set almond shaped nails. I figured it would be max 25 since this nail salon is a dinky little place. my nails were 30 dollars for the full set almond shaped nails by the way. and it was just ok. it wasn't fabulous. had i known it would've been 30 i would've trekked my ass over to laque nail bar and pay 35 for the full set and be treated like royalty. honestly, shame on me. i'm a little bitter and being cheap but i feel like i'm entitled for being a cheapy since this place was a jank hole in the wall. i mean it did say $ for the price range. ... womp womp. read more

Hi Judy and Kim! I hope you two are doing OK during this stressful time. Sorry for posting this on Yelp, I didn't know how else to get in touch. I would love to send some money for the mani/pedi I would have gotten this month. If you read this, please let me know how to do that. Stay safe! xo Sarah read more

I really dont believe that this place likes black people Once I went there and wanted a polish change (natural nails), I had a dark color on my nails and wanted a light color for the change. The lady who sits at the first booth, I assume the owner told me in a really rude way....... NOOOOOOOOO, we dont do dark color to light color.... Sorry... I was like OK...... to myself, I thought how rude. I've never heard of that rule before. Last week I decided to try them again as my usual spot was booked. Went in... The shop was empty.... She (the same chic) asked me what do you want. ? I told her a gel manicure and a pedicure. she said OK. She proceeded to remove my polish and start to file and I mean file, or maybe I should say saw my natural nails. I told her to please only go in one direction, she got an atttitude and said something to another worker in vietnamese. She did it right for that nail and the proceeded to saw back and forth with the file again. So... I said to her again, can you please not do that because my nails will break. She then again said something under her breath but loud enough for the other worker to hear her, And then looks up at me and says..... I have no time to do your pedicure. Mind you , the shop was totally empty. I said excuse me? She repeated herself then proceeded to say really fake and super friendly.... "Thank you".... Thank you". I really wanted to smack her in her face because she had totally wasted my time and I had plans for the evening and was trying to beat the rush hour traffic, Every time I drive by there they are empty and I definetly understand why. If you study nail care you should know that you file the nails in one direction so that nails do not break. That is nail care 101, So if you have natural nails or just care about the health of your nails not just being treated like a $ sign. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SPOT!!!!!!!! read more

I love love love Judy. She is fast and my nails are gorgeous. I was in and out of the place no less than a half an hour. I just removed my acrylics and needed a gel manicure bad. She had no problem taking me in and making sure I was in and out during my lunch hour. I will be coming here every 2 weeks! read more

Okay so I've never actually gotten my NAILS done at this place and I've been coming here for literally 10 years! Shame on me! I come to get my eyebrows waxed and Kim is such a sweetheart. All the other ladies are great, but Kim is definitely my go-to gal. She does an amazing job on my brows. She really takes her time and makes sure that every hair is treated appropriately. Now I need to smarten up and actually get my nails done by her! read more

KIM IS THE SWEETEST she honesty spoiled me silly this past weekend. I came in for a gel mani/spa pedi and had a broken middle finger nail that she offered to fix no charge!! HOW SWEET IS THAT? she was like "we can't let you walk about with that broken nail, let me fix it for you, make everything even" my mani pedi was wonderful and she's so straight forward we had the best conversation. they have a great selection of color and I loved my mani/pedi read more

I am looking for a decent place that is clean to take my disabled mother for a Pedicure. Although this review page states "Wheelchair Accessible" , I wanted to make sure my mother would be accommodated. Once the woman on the phone was asked if all would go well do to her being disabled, I was told "NO!" "She can not come here! Chair too high won't work!" VERY RUDE!!!! I wouldn't recommend this "joint!" to anyone ! how rude can you be ? read more

I love this place. It's not the fanciest nail salon, but it's worth the price. They do a good job. Despite one of the reviews on here calling them rude (over the phone) I think they are very sweet ladies who just don't speak english very well. I get gel nails done because you can't beat the price/quality anywhere. The gels last a long time and make it worth the little bit extra that they cost. I've also had my eyebrows done here several time and am always happy with the result. I started going here because it's close to my office but I've come about 30 minutes from my house to go on a Saturday too, just because I like it that much. Definitely recommend calling ahead on a Saturday. read more

These women are so loving and sweet. They do great work and the prices are seriously the best in Hollywood. I understand why everyone said they were reluctant to post a review and give up this amazing secret! Once you go to C'est la vie you won't want to go anywhere else for your nails or waxing needs. read more

No massage with my pedicure? That is the main reason I get them! I'm bummed....

The lady that did my nails did them so aggressively and painful, and when I asked why she won't just use the acetone to remove my acrylics and make it smoother and less painful she said it would take too long. She also kept questioning the acrylics and trying to say it was my fault and kept blabbering about things that were none of her business. read more

I don't want to write a good review because I don't want too many people to find out how great they are! Alas, Judy and her sisters are so sweet and so good at what they do, they deserve a great review. I get gel manis and it never takes them more than 20 minutes from start to finish. You may have to wait, even with an appt, but it's worth it. My mani lasts a MINIMUM of 2 weeks, despite my insistence on washing dishes and gardening without gloves. Plus, the ladies are just so darned lovable and the clients are very friendly as well. And you can't beat their prices! read more

Kim is a waxing superstar. You will NOT have a hair out of place, and she's super fast. The prices are great, and Kim will make your waxing and nails perfect. She is AWESOME. Highly recommended. Any time I go anywhere else that is closer to my neighborhood, I always wind up regretting it... read more

This was my first time visiting and I am still in awe of the amazing customer service. To begin, I called roughly 15 minutes before I came in to ensure there wouldn't be a wait. I spoke with a woman on the phone who I later learned was Kim. She called me twice while I was on my way to ensure I knew where I was going. When I arrived, I discovered that there was a walk-in also trying to receive service at the same time as me. Despite being a few minutes late, Kim still saw me over the walk-in (wow!). For my service, I received a regular manicure and acrylic full-set both done by Kim. I love how meticulous Kim was about my shape and how she took her time with everything she did in the process. For my full set, she recommended and did an ombré glitter that made my nails my look elegant and stunning! She made me feel like a valued customer, as both she and her sister were very personable and friendly to the other customers and me. Though, I stumbled across this nail shop just by being in the area -- I am extremely happy I came! It will definitely be worth the future 45 minute drive to return next time! Thank you C'est La Vie! read more

See all

I love these ladies. Pedicures are $15. They don't do foot massages (bummer) but for a solid, inexpensive pedicure, they are great. The nail polish looks great and stays on. And they don't do the upsale of trying to get you to get all those extras. And they have a lot of shades of purple. read more

Wonderful service. Both women were extremely nice and fun to be around. We had great conversation. I will definitely be back when in town.

Kim and Judy are the best! The nicest, happiest, and funniest ladies. Not only are they super professional and make sure you leave happy with your nails, but they are sweet and genuine which is such a refreshment in Hollywood. You can't beat their pricing. I recommend them to everyone! read more

Good, fast service - and the pedicure lasts for weeks! They really do a nice job - and the prices are great. $23 for a spa mani/pedi.

Everytime i go to this salon i get great service. the fact that they only have a few people in there at one time makes you feel like you're getting their full attention. Kim (and all the sisters) are SO FUNNY, so you'll most certainly be entertained while getting pampered. The salon is right by my job so i try to hop in there during my lunch break or when i can, its so convenient. If you can call in advance, that's probably a good idea, that way they know you're coming. After a while, they will know you by name and treat you like family. Love this place. Gel manicures and waxing services are FABOLOUS. read more

Best experience ever with Brazilian wax. It was my first time and Kim was so sweet and patient. I'm good with pain but she was always asking if I was ok so she can proceed. She made the experience fun, and had a great conversation with her. read more

Cheap and fast. I strolled in one sunday afternoon and they were able to seat me within 5 minutes for a mani/pedi. I say 3 stars because I can do a better nails (getting the paint close to the cuticle) But overall, you'll get exactly what you expect here. Nice people, cheap nails. :) read more

I've coming here over 5 years. Always great job on everything. I tried other salon in all over hollywood but no place would beat their level of constancy. Long lasting Nail, pedi and wax. price are very good too. They have lots of return customers keep coming in so Make sure you make an appointment:) read more

I was hunting for a last minute mani/pedi at 6:45 on a Friday night with minimal luck. Called this place because they didn't have their hours listed, said they could take me! On my way over, though, they called and said, wait- we actually close at 7, maybe another time? I was bummed and only a block away so I pulled up hoping to beg for mercy. No begging needed, they paused, asked if I'd be okay if they did both hands and feet at the same time (perfect) and did a fantastic job! I was definitely the last of the day because the few remaining people slowly cleared out before I was down. Even so, they were gracious and friendly, didn't rush me and even insisted I stay longer in front of the fan. My nails look perfect- incredible attention to detail, full coverage, and perfect cuticles. Definitely going back. Only criticism is they don't have as many colors to choose from as other spots. But what they do have is high quality. read more

I almost don't want to give away this gem for fear it'll be too difficult to book an appointment. But you know a place is great when it's always filled with regulars! I've been coming to Kim for nails and waxing for years, and so have 4 of my closest girlfriends. This place is tough to beat! read more

I love this place! The women are wonderful and they've been around for a long time. I'm super happy with my toes and hands. They were quick too! Great value for the price! read more

I honestly don't know why I've never written a review about Cest La Vie. This is THE ONLY place where I will get my eyebrows done. I've been coming here consistently for 5 years and every single time they are so quick and make my brows look fantastic. I naturally have very full brows so it's not unusual for me to end up looking crazy or not match when I go elsewhere but here that has NEVER happened. The price is amazing, the ladies are amazing, and I would highly recommend this place to everyone! read more
