Review I called Empire Nail Lounge as a walk-in, and I'm so glad I did! They did an absolutely amazing job. You don't always find a nail salon where you truly feel treated and cared for, but this place really stands out. The atmosphere is beautiful and so relaxing, with an incredible view of the Griffith Observatory and calming music playing in the background. Everything about the experience felt peaceful and special. I honestly wish I had gotten their names because I would love to personally thank them! I absolutely loved my experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Empire Nail Lounge! read more

Empire Nail Lounge - Gorgeous work! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The shop is nice, spacious and clean. The staff who I dealt with were polite and friendly. I had a full set of acrylics and they looked good, I was happy with them but when my infill time came round I had lost 4 nails! I decided not to go back as I've had this issue in the past and it can end up time consuming to keep having repairs. I would say to people to still try it out read more

They always get me in when I do a walk-in. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other shops in the area.

I recently came in for a manicure and pedicure, and I had a great experience. I was greeted by Calvin extremely kind and quick to get me started as a walk in. Lanny was incredibly detail oriented and took the time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The salon was clean, welcoming, and maintained a professional atmosphere. The pricing was fair and exactly what I expected for the quality of service. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Everyone was very nice and the place passed In my book for cleanliness. I asked for a very basic square French tip acrylic (fill) and she unfortunately couldn't deliver. I really try to give shops opportunities but she couldn't do a simple design & I had to walk away with a solid color I wasn't happy with. :/ read more

Parking: Located in a strip mall with ample parking spots. Brick & mortar: Beautiful and modern interior and will be followed with newly upgraded exterior. Elegance and simplistic will be my 2 words to describe this place. Also: Tap Pay! Very convenient form of paying. Service: Kevin (owner) is very personable and kind. I have never felt attached to any nail salons before because the owners/technicians usually are not friendly and I didn't feel like just merely a number and an ATM to them. Phuong worked on my 8 yo's pedicure. She was very gentle and soft while working on her. While Tina worked on my calluses feet gently and on point to what I need: simple. Helen is very knowledgeable in explaining details, without leaving details. We are very happy that we finally found our new nail salon near home. We will see you soon! read more

This was my first time getting Gel X, and Jenny did such a great job! She was incredibly nice and welcoming, and I was impressed by how quickly everything was done. I got a Gel X cat eye manicure and a regular pedicure and was finished in about an hour - easily the quickest nail appointment I've ever had! My only complaint was that the nail tech who did my pedicure, at the same time as my manicure, wasn't quite as detailed as Jenny. My big toenail wasn't filed evenly, so I wasn't completely happy with how it turned out, and there wasn't much exfoliation compared with other salons I've visited. Overall, though, I had a good experience and would definitely come back. The prices are great too! read more

10000/10!! First time visiting Empire Nail Lounge, and I'm so glad I did! I got acrylics and a gel pedicure, and both turned out absolutely gorgeous -- exactly how I wanted them. The staff were super friendly, detail-oriented, and made sure everything was perfect. The salon is spotless, relaxing, and has such a great atmosphere -- you can really tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. The best part? They opened just a few months ago and are still offering a promo for first-time customers, which made my visit even more worth it! Definitely my new go-to nail spot -- highly recommend checking them out before the promo ends! read more

This place is on the newer side but ever since they opened I've been coming here to get my Gel X and pedicures. The staff is amazing they are always accommodating im not much of planner so I always walk in and they let me know what the wait time will be or if I can come back, im from the area so I don't mind but call in to ask if you are running short in time. The vibe is so relaxing even though sometimes it's busy you don't even notice. They have so many colors available to choose from I like bringing in pictures of what I want and they don't disappoint!....My pedicure with callus remover is the best you must try! Prices are reasonable specially when I do the extras on my gel x . read more

What a gem! So glad we found them. I was able to book my appointment the night before (literally at like 10pm lol) for myself and my friend. It was super easy. The salon itself is gorgeous! Brand new interior design from the previous owner, with amazing chair massagers. The music is a fun remix track and the atmosphere in general is light and quiet - friendly but if you don't feel like chatting, you won't be pressured so it's very relaxing. I got a gel manicure and the green tea spa pedicure - highly recommend! They use this electric foot scrubber that is much less ticklish than manual. My feet are so smooth! And the massage and warm towel is luxurious. Will definitely be back! read more

Stumbled upon this nail salon due to its convenient location on Sunset Blvd. It is very clean/modern - do not be fooled by the construction outside. Calvin was very friendly and did a great job on my gel manicure. It still looks great weeks later! There is a 20% discount for first-time customers. read more

Nothing compares to Dylan, Kevin and Tina who took care of me today. Their services were incredible. I got one of the spa pedicures for $55 and it was an hour and a half of pure bliss. Worth every penny. I was offered water walking in, I wasn't pressured to purchase anything extra (which I've experienced at a few other places in LA), everyone was SO friendly. It wasn't crowded, the music was really nice, I just cannot believe how thorough of a job they did. I'm a runner, so having that pedicure and massage is everything I needed. Dylan got rid of my calluses and some pains I was experiencing in my calves. I want to come back all the time. They deserve your business!!!!! Go!!!! read more

Let's be honest. Would you be happy if this was your manicure? I felt like they were polite but I already pointed out that I felt my nails looks crooked and she did do a little bit of filing after I mentioned it but I have to go home and file them to make it look even. I paid $45 plus a tip... read more

First time here, came in with my daughters without an appointment as we were in the area and decided to stop by to see if they could take us in and we were welcomed. We're told it would be a little wait since they had customers they were helping, but we're able to enjoy the massage chair while we waited for our turn at the pedicure. This place is clean, they used sanitized items for our services. Quality of polish is great. I would recommend. Patience is key, if you don't have an appointment be patient and they will take care of you!!! Thank you for having us Empire Nail! Hope for much success to your business. read more

My nails don't grow fast at all especially my toes it takes months for it to grow i finally got it at a length i wanted came here twice and the guy that usually does my toes was not here they gave me this retard. In a matter of seconds he chopped off all my toes nails and says they were broken! Rather than owning up to his mistake he looks right into my eyes and LIES about my nails being broken! It's freaking summer I can't have my toes looking like this. I'm so frustrated I can't even put into words. Look at it yourself and tell me where exactly was he going to put the color? And the way he cut it was so uneven that even the lady that came to fix it wasn't able to even it out without having to shorten it even more. read more

Got a pedicure and eyebrow wax. Both treatments were wonderful and the staff was very friendly.

I was not too happy with the service here. I was fairly disappointed considering the aesthetic is nice but quality not as I expected. Kevin is nice though and he does an amazing job read more

Only nail place I've gone to in LA that actually cares about their customers! I showed up close to closing but they still took me as a walk in and actually assessed the health of my nails as they were doing my gelx manicure! I was even gifted a complimentary cuticle oil. Friendly staff, 10/10 recommend! read more

This was a good find on Yelp! Had been looking for a nail salon in the Hollywood area that was open past 6pm and one that didn't cost an arm and a leg for a gel-X mani and regular pedi with regular nail polish. Total cost for these services would have been well over $100 but thanks to the 20% discount from Kevin, my grand total was only $80. Props to Vincent who did such a good job on my feet they actually look like human feet again. Same with Kevin's job on my gel-X. It's almost been a week, and I'm happy to say the nails are holding up quite beautifully. They just opened 2 months ago, so the salon looks immaculately clean. Overall, Empire Nail Lounge is one to check out, especially if you're looking for a salon that does an exemplary job at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it. read more
