Painful... There are no tables/desk for manicures, only the big pedicure chairs which makes the manucure complicated because 1) the nail tech is not in front of you so you have to extend your arm and twist your back whenever they do your opposite hand and 2) they did not let me take my shoes so my feet were hanging on the side to avoir putting them in the bucket. I already had a set of Gel X and taking them out was so painful, I have never felt pain during that part but she only used the biggest bit and was pressing extremely hard on my nails which left a purple color at the basis of the nails. She cut the nails short but did not file them so now my real nail pokes out on the side of the gel X caps. (I tried to ask for filing but she did not understand my request) She also kept on putting the massage chair on which had those back punches and then get upset because my hand would move (I tried to stop the machine but she would turn it back on). The result doesn't look too bad but it's not clean, my nails and cuticles still hurt over 24h later and it feels very fragile. The staff was very nice but the whole service felt very rushed and uncomfortable. Not worth the $80... read more

I used this salon from 2011-2015 when i used to live in woodland hills. I came in town and used this salon again one more time. However, one of my nail color came off the next day. Since i live an hour away, i couldn't come right away. I came back to get this one nail done, this guy treated me like a terrorist. I found the same person who did it and showed to her he was interrupting me and treated me poorly. I felt disrespected. read more

Cost-effective pricing for Gel X nails--loved the hot pink refill. I also appreciated the helpful tip about taking breaks to keep my nails natural and healthy after Gel X. The relaxing massage chairs made the experience even better. All the nail technicians were friendly, including David. Helen provided good service--one nail got slightly hurt from the machine she used, but she treated it with care and it healed well afterwards. The soothing music, calm ambiance, and Deal or No Deal on TV kept me relaxed and entertained. Thank you so much. God bless! ;) read more

I got a full set by the lead man working there and right after he finished they felt like they were lifting when I touched the tip but I thought maybe it's because they were longer than I normally get . But here they are 1 week later . They are lifted NO PRIMER to set the nails (maybe) . I called them told them I want compensation maybe half what I paid and he said NO REFUNDS . So , I will have my bank dispute it and get me a FULL REFUND . And they will . I used my bank card to pay PLUS gave $15 TIP. This is so disappointing , I asked for partial refund , but they said NO come in and I'm not in that area I was there for business . So, my bank will talk care of this less quality I received read more

David is the rudest guy I ever met and the owner of this place!!!!!!!!! Stay away !!!!!!!!!!!!! I regret to say my experience here was deeply disappointing. I paid a premium price for acrylic nails, but they chipped within *hours* of leaving the salon. When I politely asked if they could be fixed, the technician refused to accommodate a time that worked for my schedule and instead became hostile, raising his voice and dismissing my concerns. It's unacceptable to charge high prices for low-quality work, then treat customers disrespectfully when they seek a resolution. A good salon stands by their services and treats clients with professionalism, even when issues arise. Sadly, this was the opposite. I strongly advise others to prioritize both quality *and* customer service when choosing a nail artist--this place lacks both. read more

I'm not sure what the man's name who did my nails is, but he is amazing. He's a total perfectionist in regards to shaping your nails and polish application. He's done mine a few times now and my manicures turn out perfect! They also last me quite a while too, considering I don't get gel polish or anything special. read more

I came here in a pinch since my normal place had closed early - I will not be going back. I got acrylic with gel over it because they had a very limited color selection for acrylic/dip and this was the closest we could get to the color I wanted. My pedicure was great! The man who did it was very attentive and I'm happy with the results. HOWEVER, I left almost in tears from my manicure. The nail tech who did them cut off my natural nails without asking (which were about as long as what you see in the photos). She then proceeded to leave and hand the job off to another tech. He came in to finish my nails and when doing my cuticles, cut and burnt almost every finger to the point where I couldn't put my hands under warm water afterwards because it hurt so bad. (Pics of cuts below). The nails were extremely thick and bubbled out, looked like I had already had them on for a week or two with how far they were from my cuticle, and some nails STILL turned out to be see through (pics below). On top of all of this, there was a drunk man in the salon who was harassing my friend and I the entire time - trying to get us to take shots of Svedka with him out of a bottle he had brought in. At one point, he even drunkenly tried to get us to be on FaceTime with his wife. Note: I am a very social person, but this behavior was extremely inappropriate and the employees did nothing to tame him - if anything they were encouraging it. Not what you want when you're trying to relax after a long day. FINALLY - my mani/pedi cost me $110. For a crappy nail job and unpleasant experience - save your money and go elsewhere. Highly disappointed. read more

I have never been to a better nail salon - ever. i have lived New York, Manhattan, Europe, San Francisco Bay Area, after relocating TOPANGA canyon year eight months ago I had had the most suffering disappointments and unbelievable services, just barely anythung done or, I once left nail salon paid 60.00 nails no color. I stopped into CQ Nails after many places seemed closed on a holiday and had not only the greatest experience, but overlooked everyone else's in the salon. I'm horrible at choosing a color, and may have a certain color in mind / red, or certain lavender - Everytime I simply ask walk in, can you possibly suggest a great red or lavender , bring out the most beautiful perfect color , high quality. They do excellent work. I completely trust and willing to pay, and tip, for their work. It absolutely is equal to the value! Thank you. You do great work, and I fully trust things will be done that way, expect when I head in! A million stars ! I don't know who would or could complain, watching so many people and The work they do, seems impossible anyone negative review unless may be have been something wrong actual individual. Anyhow - A million stars! Great work thank you! read more

It's shocking to read the number of reviews here that actually involve practices that involve pain and low quality results...which is what they did to my daughter today. They burned her feet by leaving callus remover on for way too long, then when she explained that she was in pain even after they rinsed it, they're biggest concern was that they weren't going to get paid for the incomplete pedicure. Everyone is fortunate that my daughter spoke up before there was anymore damage done to her feet. Hours later her feet still hurt, they are red and one is very swollen. We will figure out who to pass this information along to... would recommend any other of the many many nail salons nearby. read more

TLDR: the manager / owner told me I would get cancer for requesting a refund. Horrible service, including scraping acrylic off of your nails with an unused acrylic nail tip. I went back the next day to ask for my money back because my nails were poorly done & I had already booked another appointment to get them fixed somewhere else. The owner / manager SCREAMED at me while removing the set, telling me I would get cancer and go into debt for the negative karma I was releasing. read more

NAILS DONE BY JENNY!!! If I could give this place zero stars I would. I want to point out, that YELP brought me here. I came to this spot specifically bc of the Yelp deal + the pictures of some of the work. None of those things happened as planned. The only saving grace here was the very nice lady that did my pedicure quickly and beautifully. After that it was not a good experience at all. It wasn't relaxing, easy, nor was I thrilled with the customer service. Jenny took three hours to give me a half ass full set and went back and forth between being rude and condescending, too completely ignoring what I was asking her! It was some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. After all of that... the lady doesn't honor the yelp deal. Saying it's yelps fault. Wrong! It's your fault as a business owner to clarify it. If your deal says ANY FULL set that doesn't mean Acrylics Full set only. If your deal is different then what's on Yelp, change it. It's not my fault as a customer that you didn't update your deal or whatever. So, after she was finally finished, I asked her about the prices. They have no prices clearly listed so as she was trying to explain to me how much everything was (BTW I got a full dip powder set w/ ombré , manicure, and a pedicure) I asked her if they would honor their Yelp deal and pointed to it. She says no begins to tell me it's for acrylic ONLY. I continue to point to the deal on yelp as she continues too act like she doesn't see it. Then the guy who works in there steps up and starts taking with my husband trying to explain to him what acrylic is and the difference between manicures and pedicures. My husband is like I don't care and the guys tarts saying my husband is dumb and name calling etc. Needless to say I will be reporting this business to the BBB and I would recommend not coming here, if you do before you get ANY service verify ALL pricing. read more

Worst nail salon in the valley. They completely are rude and wasted my time. I walked in and was told it would take 15 minutes (there was a staff member available). Then a group of people walked in 10 minutes after me and they took all of them right away, didn't ask them for an appointment or anything. They kept telling me 5 more minutes for a span of one hour. Rude service. Don't recommend. Waste of time. Suggestion for the business, if you clearly don't want to provide services to someone - just let them know and don't see date their time. Thanks! read more

My husband and I went in for pedicures. Added on all the extras blah blah blah. When they were cutting his nails he was in visible pain, not sure what they were doing to him. 2 weeks later he has an ingrown toenail and has never had that before. They literally split my toenail and tried to glue it so I wouldn't notice but that only lasted a couple days. Terrible terrible service. Literally anywhere else has to be better read more

COME HERE IF YOUR LOOKING TO GET SLOPPY NAILS bad customer service lazy staff workers and tried to rushed. Old nail polish paint and some of them were even mixed up with other paints. Made my nails look uneven and unprofessional. Dont event have a nail desk. they do it all from one massage chair. I told they guy to fix my nails because they were falling apart getting messed up every 5 minutes. But instead he just yelled at me and kicked me out. They only good part was the massage. I asked for a nice clean French tip on my nails but one of the girls made it uneven and sloppy .not worth the price. All the staff workers are unprofessional and need more lesson don't come here if you want sloppy nails. read more

Kim is great with acrylics. From oval, stiletto, round, square, to coffin shape. Anything you want, she makes it happen. Pedicures are not the greatest. They rush through your pedicures. You pay extra for callus remover, and the process they go through to scrub it off ends up leaving some areas of your foot rough. You don't get what you pay for ($$$). I personally just go to get my nails done with Kim, and I no longer get pedicures at this location. read more

If I could give them zero stars I absolutely would. This is the absolute WORST salon I've ever been to. Not only did they absolutely ruin my nails TWICE but they wanted to charge me for it. Look at his HORRIBLE of a job they did. If you are looking for Kim or Kevin, this is the wrong CQ nails location. Kim and Kevin are located on Las Virgenes/Agoura Rd. This location lies about which technicians are available just to get more customers. I've never been so unhappy with my nails and with a business. Please do not come here.

Everyone is so lovely but I am not impressed with the nail job I received. My pedicure is a little sloppy and the gel X nails are even worse. Some of the nails are crooked and the underside of the nails are messy and chunky with excess glue and not smooth. The extensions were $55 and didn't include a basic manicure. They wanted to charge me for a manicure on top of the $55 paid. I also didn't like the technician trying to upsell me every 5 minutes. It felt like a car dealership when I was just trying to relax. Nice people but I don't think I will return. read more

Jenny is the best at customer service and she will always find the best color for you. She is sweet and kind. She is also conversational!

I was charged $70 for a basic mani pedi and I've been to much nicer places for less. Also, the color I chose for my toes looked nothing like what I picked. I'm pretty sure they charged me $10 to take the smallest amount of nail polish off two of my toes. Nice people but not good prices and service. I will not be going back. Update I got an infection in two nails from this place read more

Updated review: Over the last year, I had never had a bad experience until last month. Two people worked on my nails whom I hadn't seen before, so to be fair, they may have been new. A man in about his 50s (not the gentleman who usually sits at the front) did my pedicure, and a woman in her 50s did my manicure (I can't recall their names). They were as nice as can be, and gave great massages, which is why I'm giving them 3 stars, but the work on my nails was really bad! My fingernails: nails were filed different lengths (example: one pinky nail was filed short, while the other pinky nail was left long-- this was the case for most of my nails), and my nails were also filed in different shapes (some round, some square, some oval). My pedicure: lots of cuts (one was scabbed for two weeks and was very painful!), some nails were cut shorter than others, my big toes' nails were cut into two different shapes, nail polish was left on my skin, and the paint in general looked as if I did it myself blindfolded. I felt so bad about complaining because they're so nice, but I did kindly ask the woman if she could fix it. She removed some of the polish from my skin and added a top coat. The pics I've posted are my toes AFTER she "fixed" them. It wasn't a matter of them being too busy, I was their only customer on a Saturday afternoon. I just think the nail technicians were inexperienced. I'll try them again, but will kindly ask for different technicians. read more

PLEASE BE AWARE: THIS PLACE DOES NOT HIRE PROPERLY TRAINED PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE, WHILE ALSO NOT PRACTICING ANY KIND OF HYGIENE If I could give this place less than one star, I absolutely would. I've come here a few times to get pedicures and although they've never been amazing, they're close to my house so I didn't mind going here. Today I came in for a normal pedicure and made an appointment for seven, they didn't see me until 730, which was completely fine but no one said a single thing to me. I asked if I could get callus remover with my pedicure, so this guy puts the chemicals on my feet, he wraps it in saran wrap, and proceeds to do the rest of my pedicure while my feet are sitting on these chemicals. I didn't think about it, but after a while my feet started to burn and I couldn't figure out what was happening so I googled it as I was sitting there. Turns out.. callus remover chemicals aren't supposed to be on your feet for longer than five minutes, they left the stuff on my feet for at least 20 minutes. When I pointed out that my feet started to burn the manager immediately ran over and ripped the saran wrap off of my feet and started yelling at her employee to wash my feet off. I noticed that the burning didn't stop and when I looked at my feet they were completely irritated and my skin was peeling. It feels like an actual burn on the insides of both my feet, and when I called the manager(Jenny) over and explained why I couldn't pay for this pedicure because my feet were burned with chemicals, and I never actually got the callous remover done, she said OK and walked away because she knew that it was NOT GOOD for this man to leave my feet on these chemicals for that long. About five minutes later, the Jenny comes back up to me and says that the guy who is doing my toes will finish, and then I'm not allowed to come back. When I asked her why I wasn't allowed to come back, her and another one of her taller male employees began to get angry with me (not screaming but they were quite literally trying to shame me for not paying) and started asking me how I think the guy that burned my feet feels that he's not getting paid now. I proceeded to explain to them that my feet actually hurt and how the guy feels really wasn't my top priority, considering I was in the process of googling what to do when I get a chemical burn on both of my feet. They continue to both berate me about how their fellow employee feels about not getting money. I could see that it wasn't going to end well so I proceeded to stop the man who was continuing to finish painting my toes, I put my shoes on, picked my stuff up and started walking out. As I continue to walk to my car I realize that at least one of my feet was definitely burned. When I went back in to talk to them, the taller male employee there began to smirk and chuckle at me being upset about my feet and the fact that I was told I'm not allowed to come back there because they don't want to see me after they burned my feet. They continued to argue with me and my mother, blaming me for the way that they feel about not receiving $40 for a pedicure that they didn't finish, and caused harm in the process of. I have to say that I definitely got a chance to let them know how I feel and that it's not OK to do it to other people, but I have actual concerns that they don't care. I can't say that I've ever experienced anything like this, everything was pretty civil until I mentioned that I'm not going to pay for them burning my feet. read more

Awful. $40 for a gel manicure that includes awfully painted nails, wrong shape , dirty instruments, and old nail polish.

Came in for a walk-in pedicure the other day and received nothing but excellent service. I was immediately able to sit down and a sweet lady started on my pedicure right away. She was very sweet and efficient and made me feel comfortable. My total was $30 which was not bad at all. I definitely recommend CQ nails for their great and efficient service! 5 stars all the way! read more

Always so kind and generous with their time. Higly recommended for all nail needs. Really friendly and dilligent.

Kim did a great job at shaping my short natural nails into the oval pointy shape I wanted. I wasn't sure it could be done and impressed that she made it happen. I love the gel color selections. It seriously couldn't make up my mind with so many good options. I made a last minute appt the minute they opened this Saturday and was able to get a spot immediately. It wasn't too busy in the morning but started filling in closer to noon. The guy that did my pedicure did a good job. He spent a good amount of time with the foot massage too. read more

CQ Nails - Red French tip - Nail Salons Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

I went to this nail shop once a few months ago . The staff is much too rough . They do not move their chair to get to your arms or hands on the opposite side they are sitting on. They tugged and pulled on my arms & shoulders so badly my PT had to do extra massage because they pulled so badly and hurt my shoulders, even when i asked them to move to the other side they didn't or simply didn't understand with a language barrier. Their polish selection left much to be desired, hardly any new bottles mostly 1/3 or 1/2 bottles so thick it would take hours for your polish to dry. Walking in I just didn't get a great impression for this place. it's a typical run of the mill strip mall nail shop . The employees eat in between clients so there is always a stench in the air of international foods /acrylics nails in the shop. That's the issue with strip mall nail shops . You can't tell if you are getting your nails done or waiting for your international lunch to arrive. Not the experience i was wanting that day. Won't return here. read more

If I could give this place a negative review I would x100000 . The managers name either David or Peter they did my nails about 2 weeks ago and I got a full set and gel toes. I asked for regular full set, and they gave me gel without telling me . I had to pay $110 for both !! I wanted to Pay $20 in cash and the rest on the card and I told him that exact thing and he tried to take the $20 as a tip and charge me $110 on my card. I went back after one week and one of my nails are came off and I went back to go get it fixed and my color changed and I told them three times I'm not paying for my nail to get fixed. They were in the process of trying to take off my color and she said that it was gel and I told her no it should be regular because I didn't ask for gel last week and I told her ok, but I'm not paying for gel because I didn't ask for it and she continued to say she MUST charge me for a gel nail fix because it was already gel and she didn't want to understand me so she said someone else would help me. As he proceeded to help me he told me the same thing as the other lady and I told him I know I didn't ask for gel last time and he was the one who help me and he said OK OK And just continue to do my nails very aggressively. As I was picking two colors I wanted to see how they look together because I wanted a V shape French tip with pink and nude and I had him put the noodles on to see how it would luck with the pink and I told him can you put the pink over it like how I had my other nails and he said no I can't do that it's not gonna look good and so he already did one hand and he was starting the other and I said I don't like anymore and he said well that's why I asked you if you want this color before I put it on. He said he had to charge me an extra five dollars for an extra color I said OK that's fine. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he said he couldn't do it. In total was $25 for taking off and 2 colors and after he said okay I'll take it off for you and give you your money back & I was getting mad at that point because he didn't want to provide me service . He asked for $5 in cash after he already charged me for $20 on my card, so I added it to the receipt for that to make sense instead of charging my card twice . He told me to pay first before doing my nails so they could dry since I didn't want gel this time. So after he took off the color he said I'll give you $15 back I said no $20 because I'm not paying for my broken nail and he said no $5 for a tip and I said no that was for the extra color and he said no $15 and I said is there somebody else who understand and he said " OK FINE $20 get out " and I left with my nails un painted and uneven . Point is don't ever go here ! Worst salon ever !! So rude ! Just want your money ! read more

I used to like going here but I have experienced racism with them and I am not happy about it at all. Due to covid you had to call in to make an appt. I spoke with the owner the day before to set up my appt. When I walked in, my nail guy was just finishing up. I was told to sit and wait. I waited 15 mins and while waiting another older woman walked in who was white and she was greeted by the guy who I had an appt with. The owner walked up to me and asked me to come back later that day and apologized bc my guy was unable to do my nails at the time. Not wanting to be confrontational, I obliged and went home, came back at the time she told me to and waited another 30 minutes. Btw they don't accept credit or debit cards so I Venmo'd them. Walked out with no issues. While driving off the owner ran to my car to get my phone number assuming I did not pay. Mind you white women were walking out left and right after sending their Venmo with no issue I really wish I didn't tip them. On top of that, Mu nails didn't even last a full 2 weeks. Never again will I give my $$ to CQ Nails as they are racist and put white women before black women which is sickening in 2021!! read more
