eXpress Nails is my favorite nail salon. I'm always satisfied no matter who does my nails. I've been coming here for over 2+years. Wendy always does a great job on my pedicure and all of the other ladies; Mary, Jenny, Annie, Anna, Tammy, Donna, Mimi & Vickie all do a great job on my manicures. They're all very nice and accommodating. They take pride in doing your nails right. They will stay open late if needed without giving you an attitude, and walk-ins are usually accommodated I just love them all! read more

I was referred here by a friend and went a couple months ago. Jenny is AMAZING. She is extremely sweet and does perfect gels. I was a little disappointed by their cleanliness. I didn't see her use new tools for my nails, gross! $42 for a French gel manicure and regular pedi. She didn't charge to remove my old gel nails, not sure if she always doesn't charge? 5 stars for Jenny! read more

i only lived in oakland, ca for six months but in those six months i found the best manicurist alive i have been moaning abt missing katie since my return to LA flirting w/ different salons here & there getting pissy when my polish chips a day after or my perfect cuticles are cut too short & begin to bleed (secret: i am extraordinarily vain abt my hands & feet. they are so gorgeous) so, yesterday after two weeks of stomping around town w/ gorilla toes i decided to ask one of my girlfriends where she gets her nails done mantrap being our former hood classic has fallen in both service & quality she recommended this shop on robertson as i passed nail shop after nail shop i wondered what sets this little establishment above the rest the service is impeccable the place is very clean every customer is remembered i saw the regulars walk thru the door & before they could sit down their regular color was announced by a staff member & brought promptly to the nail station they give back massages they listened to my suggestions my manicure was as gorgeous as my pedicure no one prompted my payment everyone thanked me w/ genuine warm smiles there was a general vibe of femininity & loveliness i couldnt be happier. oh yeh & all of this for $24+tip. go. go. go. read more

I had a really bad experience the last time I went to get my nails done at Express Nails. The manicurist cut my cuticles really badly to the point where I got an infection on my finger. I had to go to a dermatologist because the infection was so bad. NEVER GOING TO THIS NAIL SALON AGAIN. read more

Always call and make an appointment Mary is amazing she has been doing my nails for years now! shes the only person I would trust with my nails. Perfect fills! 10/10 read more

This place is whack!! They put people in front of you all the time!! You wait at least 45min before anyone waits on you!! I tried them a second time because it is close & convenient!! BUT NEVER AGAIN!! They may be cheap but their customer service is STINKS!! NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL!!! read more

Overall I like this place, I wish they had more colors and the nails lasted longer. Been coming here for a while but I switch it up when I feel like they make me wait too long or they don't let me chose who I want to do my nails. Overall good place. read more

This is by far the best nail salon I've found in LA! I had a Pink and White fill and they turned out great. I also found they were $10 less for the fill than neighboring salons areas. Mimi does a great job and made sure to listen to every request I made about how I like my nails. They turned out exactly how I wanted. This place was very clean and carpeted. They are super cheap and their work is impeccable. I made an appointment, but I don't think you have to. They take credit cards. Parking is metered on street. I am definitely returning! Great value and great service! They are also open 7 days a week! read more

I've been going to Express Nails since they opened, years ago. They are fast, reliable, do a great job, friendly, helpful, just the best. What else can I say? With a salon on every corner it can be hard to tell but this one is a winner. Many long time customers says something good. read more

THE WORST! Went in for an acrylic fill and Mary did me. I told her to make the bottom thin so it doesn't lift and it's been 3 days and it's already lifting. She also made them very uneven and messed up the shape so now I need to go elsewhere and get a full set. She also polished HORRIBLY. Very messy and when I asked her to clean it up she replied saying it'll come off when I wash my hands.. I'm sorry it when a client asks you to do something included in what they are paying for, you should do it! It just comes to show how lazy they are and that they really don't care about the job they do. Definitely not going back. An update- my mom wanted to go back because she liked their work, so i thought i'd give it another shot. I mean.. how can they mess up a pedi?! They told me to come in at 1:30. I got there at 1:30 on the dot. I waited about 10 minutes and then started to get a little impatient. They said someone is finishing up and will do me shortly. This was a lie. About 20 MINUTES LATER, I STILL WAS WAITING. I got a little angry because I had somewhere to be and desperately needed a pedi. I say there as I loudly said hello can someone please take me soon? Like i have somewhere to be. Everyone ignored me. Completely. I got angry and decided to leave. As I was walking out the door I said eff this and thus place, i'm OUT. that being said customer service is everything. never forget. read more

Best cheap nail salon ever. On weekends, get there when they first open. If you go midday it is packed and they rush. If you can go on a late Sunday afternoon, it is slower and they will take their time and your manicure will last all week. The cheap should neck massage should definitely be taken up on ... awesome. read more

Very reasonably priced for the area and they are very accommodating. I have been going here for 2 years and love it.

i liked my previous salon, but I LOVE this one. Vickie is my technician, but i think others there are also good. I am thrilled to find a salon where i don't have to micro-manage my fill-ins and can just sit and relax knowing that it will be done right and not have to pay an arm and a leg for it. read more

Great customer service and quality work. Prices are competitive for similar salons. I will return.

This place is decent and they do a good job, but they are not honest in telling you the wait time. I've gone there a few times when I've been in a big rush and have asked if they can take me immediately for simultaneous mani and pedi. They assured me each time that it would be immediate. This did not happen. I had to wait at least 10 mins before they had one person either working on the mani or pedi. If they had been honest about the wait time, I could have walked to another salon. This is exactly their fear. Another time, they stopped working on me to take another customer who was leaving because of they had also been dishonest about wait time with that person. They do a nice mani/pedi, however. read more

This is by far the best nail salon in LA. Mary and Jenny have been doing my nails for 10+ years and i will never go anywhere else. At times they are very busy and i'll have to wait about 10 - 15 minutes, but I dont mind because they are 100% worth it! read more

This place is great!! I've tried all the nail salons on Robertson, hire, and find this one to offer the best quality/price combination. they're open 7 days a week, andthey are open late!!! and work on your nails with just as much care, as at any other time, no rush! The only thing i question is that i dont know how clean this place is. I dont see them sterilize any of the instruments, im pretty sure they dont, but my nails never chip when i get them done here. And back massage for $10/10-15min. The most important thing to me is that my nails dont chip, i hate it when my nails chip the very next day. I dont know what they do here, but it works for me! And ive been to all the ladies that work there, they all do a great job! read more

I have searched for a nail shop that does really natural looking Gel Nails. I have tried many and gave up and decided I would not have them done anymore. I was hanging out with my niece for my birthday and she treated me to many things, however this was the highlight of our day. She took complete control and I must say I loved all of her choices. Mary is an expert for pedi's and Donna is the Queen of Gel Nails. The shop was a bit of a surprise to me, first they do not have Spa Chairs (NONE) it is an Old School nail shop with THOUSANDS of colors (I kid you not, so many boxes of OPI, Essie and more) It was a Happy place, tons of customers coming and going never rushed, they take their time with each customer. They have lots of nail tech's and lots of stations so waiting is minimal. A lot of their customers were regulars and were greeted by name and a big smile and some received a hug and a kiss. Donna was so kind and patience with me and we talked about her country, I truly enjoyed the experience and learned quite a bit about her country. The restroom was spotless and the equipment was sterilized. We were lucky to find Street parking, keep in mind it is located on Robertson between Olympic and Wilshire(a very congested area) the parking is metered, 2 hours, on Robertson as well as the side street. They accept credit cards, not sure about Apple Pay. The wait was not long and they take appointments, I noticed they are really fast with a polish change only. I plan to have my gel nails done here, I had them done last week and my mani pedi looks like I just had it done. They did an excellent job and provided excellent customer service. I highly recommend them, I am a very satisfied customer! read more

Great place for the value. Good price and quick. Highly recommend. Meter parking in front is $1/hr.

I used to really like this place because they were quicks and all the technicians were really nice and very good. However, I was very disappointed the last two times I was there. First of all they accept anyone that walks in, but you have to wait 40 mins for your mani/pedi especially if they're busy! Second, the last time I went, my mani/pedi was neither simultaneous nor consecutive. Got pedi first, then my technician left to go attend to an upset woman who had been waiting 35 mins. Then I had to wait 15 mins for another technician to start my mani. She was rushing from her other mani job. I saw her bring the bowl of water from her previous client and dump out the water and fill it up for my mani. Eew, she didn't even wash it out or get me a new bowl! She then rushed through my mani, told me to place my hands in front of a small fan, which caused my polish to form waves since it hadn't fully dried and she put the fan on high. I showed her what happened but she said that it was normal?! The only good thing about this last visit was the extra massage I got during my pedi, but had I known it would prolong my wait for a mani, then I would not have gotten it. Also, the technicians often take breaks to eat, fine, they need to eat but they just eat there in front of you and the food tends to stink up the whole place. Never coming back. read more

I have been coming to Express Nails for years. I never want to go anywhere else for nails! My nail polish never ever chips because they lay the polish on so well. Any technician that you go to does an excellent job, so you do not have to be worried about visiting a different person every time. And it is $24 for a mani pedi. My favorite nail salon! read more

Wow this place will take you even after closing hours! My cousins and I were aimlessly driving around Beverly Hills trying to find a nail salon that was still open at the time. We assumed that most nail salons were closed at 7pm, but luckily this one was still open even though they brought up the fact that they actually close at 7:30pm. Ever so thankful that they were nice enough to squeeze us in, we rushed there as fast as we could. The place was pretty packed when we got there. Being a first timer, I really didn't have any expectations just as long as they didn't stab me with their nail cleaning equipment. The ladies at the nail salon showed us to our seats and asked us to choose our colors. Man their polish collection is huge! I chose this really summery red- orange polish. I love, love love the color!!! Manis and Pedis are only $24. That's a pretty good deal for a nail salon in Beverly Hills. The ladies take real good care of you. They even have cute little fans to air dry the polish faster! I'm still digging my nails! read more

Stay away from this horrible dirty and disgusting place. Their towels used to be white maybe 10 years ago but now almost great with holes on them. Went there for a silk wrap nails. The ruined my nails. Shave down all my natural nails had red marks all over my nails, cut my thumb. Left that disaster salon even without polish and still was charged $40. My fingers were so sore had to wait for couple days in order to get a new set in a normal salon. read more

Mimi is the best! After trying several salons on Robertson I finally found an awesome pink and white fill! Mimi asks you how you want your nails and does exactly what you want! Excellent customer service! read more

awesome mani and pedi jobs- very thorough. ive never once had a bad one and ive been going there for over 5 years. they carry essie and opi which is a plus. they dont have the massage spa chairs- but id rather had a great mani pedi then the massage. read more

my favorite cheap mani-pedi in LA.. can't beat the price, they are good with listening to what you want, the polish really lasts (they don't dilute it) and they couldn't be any nicer. very warm energy. could not recommend more highly! read more
