Fantasy Beauty And Spas - List of mani - pedis - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Got nail fungus and ingrown toenail from my recent pedicure!!! Also their prices are so ridiculous now and they do way less(no massage, no hot towel, no oil or lotion, for $53!!!?!) Never returning!!! My physician advised me that anyone can get nail fungus from salons because we are sharing nail polishes! This was my first time I've ever had any kind of infection! Never will I return! read more

Absolutely awful today! The girl who did my toes did a horrible job and the color is not even close to matching. Looks like crap! It's so expensive too. $105+ for dip nails and pedicure. Such a rip off. They also were mad I didn't have cash for a tip but I couldn't find my debit card and they made me late because they couldn't find a good nail polish color for my toes. This place also gave me a fungal infection for years that I never reported. I would say stay away! read more

I spent the entire day feeling awful every time I looked at my nails, I saw a new and different flaw. I spent a good amount of money and politely left a tip. But that didn't sit well with me, so I returned today to collect a refund. During regular business hours, they are not open. Has this happened to any of you. Please to any return customers find another place to go. We just simply can't afford this read more

Fantasy Beauty And Spas - Rough jagged edges, and no adhesion whatsoever. Very little acrylic very little skill. - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I had an appointment at 5:30. I walked in and nobody acknowledged me. Nobody was sitting at the front desk. I finally got someone's attention and all she did was redirect me over to somebody's nails that she was already in the middle of doing. I was very confused. I then sat down in the seats closest to the entrance and sat there an additional 15 minutes without being acknowledged again. I felt very uncomfortable and overlooked. Won't be coming back here. read more

The owners and manicurists are awesome here. I've been coming here for about 8 years and am totally loyal to this place. Q is the BEST for mani/pedi's!!!! Nikki (owner) is awesome too. She's done my waxing, eyebrows, and hair. Lots of parking available and a nice, clean, warm and welcoming salon. I highly recommend this place for anyone in need of some pampering. read more

Terrible. Came there to get feet done 1hr and 30min before closing and they said no because they were closing soon.

So, if you are wondering why I didn't get my nails painted. The nail techs didn't know I understood Vietnamese. Lol she spoke to her colleagues, complaining how ugly my nails were and it would be hard to paint...so on..so on. This is the most unprofessional and rude nail salon I've been to. Im just really upset. Next time, check to make sure your customers isn't Vietnamese or better, don't talk shit about them!. read more

Fantasy Beauty And Spas - 3 days post manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

They do a good job, but...They do NOT respect appointment times. They consistently leave you waiting for 30-45min for your appointment and don't even give the courtesy of calling and let you know they are running behind. They even do this when they call asking you to come in earlier and then leave you waiting for an extended period of time after your original appointment time. read more

I came in for a full set and gel pedicure with my sister. The nail tech Andy was really rough with the drill on my cuticles even after I would ask him to be more careful because it was hurting. Four of my fingers/ cuticles began to bleed and just put on a gel to stop the bleeding but proceeded to be very rough. He said he would clean up my cuticles at the end but instead forgot my top coat and just rushed the whole service at the end to fix the mistake. The length of my nails on My right hand are so much shorter than the left hand and just bumpy and sloppy to be honest. Pretty embarrassed that I paid $80 for this full set when I don't get acrylics often. Big reminder of why I don't come to this salon anymore read more

HORRIBLE! During my recent visit, I observed several issues that I believe are both unsafe and unprofessional: 1. Unclean Environment - The salon did not appear to follow basic sanitation practices. Tools and surfaces were not disinfected properly between clients, which raises serious health and hygiene concerns. The lady was using an unclean file on me and a sharp tool to try taking out my ingrowns. She failed multiple times, if they can't do a service correctly why say yes. I genuinely hope I don't get an infection from this. I told her to give me her tools and I could take them out properly. She got upset. Not just the tools but her hair also made contact with my feet throughout the pedicure, super unsanitary. 2. Unlicensed Services - I was informed (and observed) that services were being performed by individuals who are not properly licensed. I asked to see the lady that was doing my nails cosmo license and she said they couldn't finish me and refused me service. I asked her to get someone else to finish my nails. They got someone else and I didn't get to see the license until the end when the male employee came. Pretty sure he printed a fake one out because I looked up her license number on the dca.ca.gov site and SHE WAS NOT FOUND. This is not only illegal but also puts customers at risk of harm or infection. 3. Unprofessional and Rude Behavior - When I tried to address my concerns politely, the staff responded dismissively and with rudeness, which made the overall experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I told them I was extremely disappointed and irritated and all they could offer me was a $10 discount. Absolutely insane. Ultimately DO NOT GO HERE. read more

They decided to remove my gel-x by ripping them off instead of soaking them. They are now completely damaged. One of my nails ripped down the center, and then they decided to try and charge me for this, even though I still had part of my gel-x on. When I expressed that I was bleeding, the "manager" laughed at me. She also laughed at me when I said I did not want them to super glue my bleeding nail. read more

Hats off to Fantasy Beauty and Spas for a tremendous job on keeping us safe during the reopening for nails spas! I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to attempt because we have immunocompromised people in our home. I was immediately asked to use the hand sanitizer before signing in and my temperature was taken. A face shield and mask are required for both patrons and staff. They have customers distanced very well by skipping a chair in between and plexus glass at the counter as well as nail stations. The sanitizing I witnessed as others left was equally impressive. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again. read more

Great service clean and excellent skills! Ben did my nails and shared his extraordinary talent in nail shaping and art ~ even with my little nails I need to have short for work. Lan did my pedicure and was effective in getting my toes looking so much better than before. Added touch was some nice seasonal music read more

The best nail salon in the South Bay, hands down! Ben is magical with elaborate nails and Nickie is fabulous with hair, waxing, nails... she does it all! Q & Johnny are also great with decorative nails. I'm an average girl, but sometimes I ask for fun, quirky nails and Ben always delivers! Dip powder has enabled my natural nails to grow super long, so I can ask for a variety of shapes. Nonetheless, I always have a fantastic experience! The pedicures are amazing, and of course there is a sliding scale in terms of how much pampering you want. read more

I paid $120 for my dip nails to chip within 70 hours... I was quoted $75 and charged $120, not a drop of lotion was used in my mani, my hands were not even cleaned before the tech started to put polish on, the polish had to be put on three times bc the color shown did not match what was coming out of the bottle, the tech cut me, and the place was filthy. my nails and hands hurt from how rough the tech was treating them. Getting your nails done should not be a stressful experience. the staff were rude and unprofessional. I gave the tech photos of what I wanted (white metallic nails) she tried to paint them nude and add big chunky little kid sparkles and tried to tell me thats what I asked for... this was for my engagement photos. I had to have my nails redone elsewhere . read more

Ben is baaaaaack! Yeah!!! Thank you Ben for more than presentable hands again! Always VERY NEAT AND SYMMETRICAL art work! I Thank God YOU HAD TIME FOR ME! I can rely on consistency and always very professional! Michael is very accommodating at the front desk making sure all is GOOD!! Kim was there for my pedicure today and her calf massage put me to sleep. Thanks Kim! So glad to have you all OPEN!! read more

SO HAPPY FANTASY IS BACK OPEN!! Even before COVID, this salon has always been so clean and good at sanitizing stations/equipment. The cleanliness and selection of gel polishes kept me coming back.

Absolutely ecstatic that Fantasy is back open! They are taking extra COVID precautions, making everyone feels very comfortable going in -- temperature checks and plenty of hand sanitizer at the front desk. Shields placed on the manicure tables. Masks and gloves worn by employees. Face shields available as well. They thoroughly wipe down all chairs, tables and pedicure spa chairs after each client and make sure to spread out the clients throughout their large space. Even spray client hands before beginning the manicure. As for the hair salon portion, same rules apply and Nickie is doing a great job managing the salon while having everyone follow the guidelines. Go see her to get your hair done or Ben for an amazing nail job! Pic is nails by Ben. read more

Fantasy Beauty And Spas - Acrylic set by Ben with ombré glitter design - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Love their massage chairs! Everyone I've had do my nails is friendly and it's always a good experience.

This salon was recommended by a friend. I received a gift certificate for a pedicure and they were very accommodating and scheduled my appointment for the day after Christmas. That is a very busy time of year but they made it happen as I live out of state now and only come back a few times a year to visit family. Lisa was amazing. She worked for an hour on legs and feet and she was so good. When I left I felt like I was walking on air. Next time I'm in LA, I'm definitely making an appointment before I leave so I don't need to over tax them. Highly recommend !! read more

I'm giving this 5 stars because I had the best foot massage during my Pedicure. I completely forgot her name which I feel bad about because I would want you all to experience her work. I'm not one to ask for another 10 minutes but she massages my foot where I didn't realize it was tight and it was exactly what I needed. Not only did I get a pedicure but a manicure as well. It appears everyone does gel. I was the only one who brought my own color which wasn't gel. They were great and did a great job. I was in town for a business trip and my friend I was visiting frequents thins place. I can see why. They were great. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I wanted to like this place because they were very accommodating to my friend and I as walk-ins! I had broken a nail earlier in the day so being accommodated quickly was great! Not long into my session, the nail tech cut inside my nail bed trying to trim the broken nail off to make her job quicker. I had to ask her for acetone soak instead. As my nail soaked, she began to unnecessarily file my other nails to pass the time -- causing a few other little cuts around my cuticles. She is shocked to see blood around my cuticles and tries to soften her filing here and there to which she still continues to file down my nails deep into the skin. She eventually leaves and has another nail tech finish adding the polish and the whole session for broken nail, acrylic fill and gel color totals $55. My friends experience is similar if not even more painful as her tech also filed deeply very unnecessarily into the skin -- and her full set, gel color and simple line design totals $67. Would not recommend this place AT ALL if you're looking for a relaxing beauty experience. Better luck literally anywhere else! read more

They moved to a new location, their old location was in the plaza next door with limited parking so I stopped going until today when the Mr wanted treat me for an afternoon of mani pedis. It's been a while since the last time we were in here and the staff remembered us. Every single pedicure that I have ever gotten here has been phenomenal! They last for like a month!! No joke!! I don't get gels or arcylics for my manis- just a regular Mani and they last almost two weeks . Cheers! read more

Thank you Q for another incredible manicure! You take such care and consideration every time I see you and always with a smile on your face. I adore you! The whole staff is wonderful but you are special. See you in a few weeks! read more

Fantasy Beauty And Spas - Dip Mani by Q - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I asked and showed a picture of what I wanted they said they could do it. I told the lady just make them look like the picture. She couldn't do it so I had to choose something different. I was hoping I would like them I told her I wanted my nails longer she said they were long and once she does them they will look longer ... she charged me for long nails. They're short I payed $90 dollars. I called the next day because I was hoping they would grow on me but they didn't ,they call me back to say they don't think I should take them off because it will hurt wait two weeks to do a fill and they will do them long when I get a fill. I didn't have the time to do them over the day I went. I was really sad I wanted to like the place so I called to see if they can fix them. I guess not. read more

Fantasy Beauty And Spas - Very short and I was charged for long nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I absolutely love this place! I came here based on a rec from a girlfriend about 8 months ago and I haven't gone anywhere else since! I've gotten multiple brow wax, dip/shellac/regular manicures and pedicures here; but they do offer several other services too. Each and every time I go, I'm always satisfied with the result. The one time I wasn't happy (post-paint job gone sideways), I went back and they promptly fixed it- no problem, no questions asked. Fun Fact: I'm a nail and cuticle biter/picker (oh the joys of anxiety!). So if there's anything extra leftover post-mani, I'll get after it promptly ruining their masterpiece. As a result (or precaution lol), I make sure to share this fun fact with my nail tech. They do an excellent job making sure my nails are right and tight. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews... But I have tried this place 3 times now... each time the wait has been twice as long as I was told it would be and even with an appt I still ended up waiting 20 mins -after offering to come back later and being told it would only be 5 mins...3 times.... The nails themself looked ok for the first 2 days, I had acrylics done short, they were nice and thin, but too thin... I've done acrylics for 10+ years, I don't break nails very often at all... but after having my nails done here, each time i had broken nails within the first week... most recent time 3 of them broke, jaggedly, and while on vacation... I really wanted them to be fantastic, they are close to home, not to expensive and convenient, but I simply can not deal with broken nails every time I get them done read more

Fantasy Beauty And Spas - chipped and broken nails after the 1st week had to file 2 of them down(pic is how they looked at 2weeks out, cus vacation ) - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I have been going to this place since they were at their old location but felt it was time to finally give them the review they deserve. The entirety of the staff here are friendly, fast, and incredibly skilled. I will say though that I especially love coming here to have Ben do my acrylics (although Nicki does a great job as well). It's not the cheapest place you can find but for the quality and long lasting results I would say it's completely worth it! Ben did an amazing job making my acrylics fun yet not too unnatural in shape or length. 100% believe this is the best place in the South Bay for acrylics. They also did a super amazing powder on top that made my green nails metallic/golden! So in love with them. read more

I really got lazy after moving to Manhattan Beach area. I stopped going to my favorite nail salon Marie Nails, at Melrose (WeHo) area. I saw this place driving by several times and honestly didn't have the aesthetic appeal that I was used to. BUT my nails were in dire need and it was a case of emergency. I just called them up and made an appointment the day of. It was easy. I walked in and got the basic pedi and gel mani done for half the price I was used to paying. Granted they don't particularly specialize in nail art but I was happy with just pretty basic gel nails. Sometimes simple is good. And I can get used to spending less money. The parking lot is small and tight in front....but there are more parking up on top behind the building. read more

Honestly just not good quality work. The ladies are super nice, so I feel bad writing this, but at my regular salon my gel x nails last up to four weeks with zero lifting. After one week they started lifting so bad I had to go back and ask for two to be re-done which they charged me for. I could care less about the money, but when my nails are so bad they need to be replaced after a week, I don't feel like charging is good business practices. I spent $225 for two full sets and a pedicure and then had to spend $20 (with tip because I'm not an asshole) the next week for two of them to be re done. I tried twice with this place because it's one minute from my house, but I won't be back. read more

Always the cleanest salon, now COVID safe with even more cleaning than before, with masks and face shields plus temperature checks and hand sanitizers when you enter. You would never have been infected in this place before, but the owners and employees had to suffer due to the crazy governor here! Such a shame they had to stay closed for so long, but now that they are open, business is still slow, so they are still suffering! Ben and Nickie run this wonderful salon to perfection and have their family assist them at the front counter. Ben and Nickie also work, non-stop, keeping the place spotless when they are not taking care of their customers. The massage/pedicure chairs are wiped and sanitized as soon as the patrons leave and everything always sparkles and shines. Q and Li take care of my mani/pedis and both give great massages as part of the treatment. And yes, I am a man and it is nice to be cleaned and pampered. Almost every time my wife and I were in the shop, pre-COVID-19, there would be couples enjoying and relaxing together. Regularly I make a day out of it when Nickie cuts my hair in addition! She also styles my wife's hair and does tattoos, waxing and facials too! If you have been to this wonderful salon before, know they are open and get back in there. If you have somehow missed this jewel in the South Bay, there is no time like now to get in there and help keep this operation with their wonderful and caring employees in business. They all deserved better than this! read more

Worst experience! Sat me down and made me wait 30 minutes and saw someone that got there after me with no appointment first. The nail tech took lunch half way during my appointment. When I complained about my nails just ignored me. Lengths of nails are uneven had to file them myself at home. read more
