    Perfect purple for summer
    Mary L.

    This is the friendliest nail salon I've ever been to from booking the appointment to when I left. They were able to see me in a pinch and took me right when I got in. They have so many beautiful colors - I know every salon does, but I felt like this one really nailed the quality. I'm always looking for pastels and I feel like most salons they're either still too bright for my taste or they have too much shimmer. Side note; a homeless man came in and asked for money and the owner straight up pulled a little cash out of the register and gave it to him! It was so nice to see they're genuinely good people. Not only that but I was a little short on my cash, I needed an additional $5 and not to mention tip! But they said it's okay just next time bring it. I've never experienced that before and was so touched the next day I brought it back and tipped them I also brought in some cookies because I found my forever nail salon. You've got a lifelong customer here! It's a mom & pop shop in the best way.

    Waiting for them to dry with their disposable slippers

    Have come here twice and have been taken care of very well. I've only gotten my nails done 2-3 times in my whole life. They were super patient with me I accidentally messed up my fresh nail polish at the store and they fixed it up for me super thankful for that. They even provide some disposable slippers in case you aren't wearing open toe shoes. Would definitely recommend coming here! I've called in to check to see if they had any last minute openings and was able to be accommodated. There's parking in the back. If you can snag the spot that has an orange cone right behind their business, it'll be free parking. Otherwise, you'll pay at the meter. There's also street metered parking in the front of the store that you can finally pay over your phone vs coins only.

    ahhh Gel-X mani (almond mediums) and gel polish #60

    Did a walk-in appointment, as my boyfriend plays at the card shop down the street. Nail appointment was pretty standard, although I do appreciate he checked in when filing and buffing my nails to see if it was hurting (especially with the electric file). I did a super lovely lavendar Gel-X mani. My nails turned out gorgeous and I'll definitely be returning on a regular basis!

    Came here because my usual salon was closed that day and just needed to get them done before I left LA. I found this place and they squeezed me in same day. First of all, the care and quality of my nails has improved so much since I started coming here, no more ring of fire on my nail beds. I usually ask for unique designs and they always deliver! I leave paying a reasonable price, and beautiful healthy nails every time. I've had this set since October and still going strong!! Parking is usually pretty easy in the area. I would totally recommend this place they are the best and they don't charge unrealistic prices like many salons in the surrounding area! They stole me from my previous salon that I was very loyal to, so you know it's good YES YES YES girl just go!

    I got exactly what I asked for! He was gentle and kind when removing my acrylics. I did not feel rushed, and he ensure my nail beds remain undamaged. Five stars!

    This is the first time I've ever written a disappointing review for a nail salon and honestly, my standards for a nail salon aren't that high.. I called in on Wednesday afternoon and they told me $25 for gel so I decided to do walk in. I went in and there was no one there except for two ladies working. They attended me immediately. Color selection is endless! The lady who did my nails was really nice, but she did a poor job. My nails have chipped...about 7 nails are chipped! I've never had a chipped with gel, even my coworker did not believe I got a gel manicure. On top of that my thumb was coated to thick and it doesn't look uniform with the rest of my nails. I guess you do get what you pay for. Can't wait to go back to my usual spot.

    I've been coming at this nail salon for years and every time I get my nails done from them I'm very satisfied. Jeff and Jenny are the best. I'm so in love with my nails!

    My favorite spot in Glendale! They are the best with Gel X and also acrylic nails. Huge selection of colors and always shapes my nails amazing. They care about they're clients and super attentive :)

    TL;DR - reliable manicure at a reasonable price all done by friendly owners! I've been shopping around various nail shops in Glendale and have been swayed away by the high cost of many places. I get it, in LA there's definitely a premium on Instagramable spots. But for me at the end of the day, I just need a simple and clean mani/pedi. I saw City Nails had great reviews and it helped that it was walking distance from my apartment. I called earlier in the day for a 5:30pm appointment and they happily fit me in. When I arrived I was greeted and seated right away. This is not why I gave it four stars, but I will note this shop has a small, humble interior. Nothing super fancy! But like I said - a good mani is what I was in the market for, not an Instagram-worthy background. I got a standard gel mani ($30), and I have no complaints about the polish or process. My only critique is that the full gel mani (with gel removal) took a full hour. I was passed between two nail techs and it just seemed to take a while when there was a personnel change plus some redundant cuticle cleaning. When I get a full mani/pedi, I expect an hour, not for ONLY my fingernails. It wasn't bad per se, but in the future I think I will ask them to do a "quick" manicure. Overall, super competitive pricing with what I've seen around Glendale, and the manicure itself was superb. This will definitely be my new spot!

    Jeff does his job well !!! I am a recent fan of Jeff and definately keep coming back to his services.

    My horrible pedicure

    I came in for a pedicure. Horrendous job. I could have done a way better job. I had my old gel removed. My cuticles were not cleaned, my nails were not cut and filed nicely. I will not return.

    Lots of color selections! Theres more in the other side!!

    I became a regular here until I moved to Orange County. I cant believe I never wrote them a review. They do great on nails. (See pix). Sometimes I avoid male manicurist because I never had a great experience with them but here, the guy (Sorry forgot your name) did my nails perfectly! The prices are very affordable or just right. They do get busy during the afternoon so better come here when they open. You can also make appointments. Most of their customers are regulars and locals and they do build relationships with them.

I did gel x with a black french tip- she was so gentle and precise, and they came out so pretty!! I also really appreciated the conversation with her and Irina, and the overall look of the salon was gorgeous. I haven't had my nails done in years and had a lot of anxiety about starting to do it again, but everyone was so kind and I didn't feel the least bit anxious with how amazing Narine's attention to detail is.

The technician who worked on my nails was very sweet and kind. Unfortunately, the quality of the work was very poor. I was extremely unhappy with how my nails turned out and felt embarrassed enough that I had to book an early-morning appointment elsewhere to have them fixed. I felt bad speaking up at the time and leaving a negative review, but I don't believe the technician had the skill level needed for the service I received. I truly wish this experience had been better because the atmosphere and staff were lovely, but after this visit, I won't be returning. At the end of the day, it's all about how the nails turn out to be

I genuinely appreciated how quickly they handled everything and their willingness to make it right. The staff here has always been incredibly sweet, welcoming, and professional, which is why I wanted to continue coming here in the first place. Things can happen, but their response and customer service honestly turned the entire experience around for me. You can tell they truly care about their clients and their work. I'm really grateful for how kind and understanding they were, and I'll absolutely be back again!

The front desks excuse was that they had someone new up in front. I wasn't sure why they had someone brand new doing a shift by themselves. I asked for a regular pedicure and gel cat-eye pedicure pricing, was told it was $26 and $56 over the phone. They rang us up today for a reg pedicure, $29, and $72 for gel. The pricing wasn't the issue, more so how it was handled and the consistent wrong answers. No manager was brought in and the front desk acted like it wasn't her issue, nor was an apology given. She wasn't the one who assisted, but she decided to give me a response in place of someone else. In addition, I had to reschedule my Saturday appointment for Sunday, called to make another appointment and walked in today apparently not having an appointment in their system. My friend experienced hostile comments from the women doing her pedicure, instating that her feet were in the condition they were due to her paying for regular polish, trying to not only upsell her into gel, but the work had already been done. The comment was unnecessary.

When I sat down she insisted I needed a brand new set. I was skeptical, but decided to trust her. (though my gut said they were just trying to make more money) The process itself was mixed. On one level she seemed to care, asking me a few times if I was happy with it. But then, she filed a nail down WAY past what I asked for and made a weird excuse. And then it concerned me that she didn't fully dust or clean my nails during some of the steps. Oh, and the entire time I was there, they played really loud music with one song on repeat about 5-6 times before a new song would play and then repeat as well. I left feeling exhausted. Then, walking away I noticed just the next day that there were some tiny bubbles and spots on my nails - that looked almost dirty. Now, to add insult to injury, 10 days in and one of my nails has already chipped.
