    Medium length
    Leslie C.

    The service was great but I got ripped off why did I pay $80 dollars for medium lengths nails! I was recommended by someone and they paid 90 for long nail with chrome??? Never again!

    Cut on pinkie finger

    I've been to this nail salon three times, and unfortunately, each visit has resulted in me leaving with an injury. I went in twice for pedicures, and during my first visit, the technician cut my cuticle so badly that it bled throughout the entire service. What made the situation worse was that she continued applying alcohol to the area, which was very painful, and didn't acknowledge or apologize until I pointed it out myself. On my most recent visit, I went in for a nail soak-off on my hands. The technician seemed rushed and ended up cutting my pinky during the process. At this point, I'm really disappointed and concerned about the lack of care and attention to safety. I shouldn't be leaving a nail appointment bleeding every time.

    I went in today bc my bday is coming up and I can't find any nail salons or techs that do duck nails but I remembered seeing a girl getting some when I was here last. They sent a 10% for my bday so i thought why not. They squeezed me in on thanksgiving day, at really late notice (less than 24 hours notice.) The girls who worked on my nails were so amazing and my nails look great. She was able to sculpt my nails with just plain coffin tips, seriously was so impressed with her acrylic skills. And they got everything done so fast which I appreciate as a homebody. The price even before my discount was VERY reasonable for the services received this visit. It's VERY clean, they don't have random weird polish brands they have the nice stuff, very friendly staff, and I'm really grateful that I gave it another chance bc they are soo close to my house and I've been going to nail techs in Long Beach and the valley which is just a pain. I also didn't think I saw the man who did my nails last time as I've also seen similar comments with experiences like mine mentioning him on all their lower reviews so hopefully they figured that out. 100% will be going back to visit. I also keep hearing about Tiffany and I think I met Tiffany today so if you can try to book with her!!!!!! She must be a big time nail tech.

    OMG TIFFANY IS HERE!!!! I saw this was a new nail spa... via Yelp!!! As I was going down the street near a church and chicken place...IYKYK a place where is very chaotic to say the least! This place is small and sweet! Bright and clean! It brings me peace and serenity when I just walked in. The front desk lady greeted me and asked me for my name to check my appointment. I was early and she offered me a pedicure... my intention was not to have one but I asked her if she had someone good and gentle. She said yes!! I took it. I got the Spa Gel $50 with Han (I hope I wrote her name right) super soft and gentle as I have Lupus my nails are very sensitive. She was amazing!!! This place is so peaceful and quiet.... The ladies that work here are very quiet and speak to you or don't speak at all. There is a great aroma that definitely help me relax... At 10am I see Tiffany walk in to this place!!!!!!!!! My eyes!! I felt like I was lost and now I was found! She saw me and greeted me as she was my nail tech at the other location and she cud not believe I was there. I was super happy! She did my nails and we tried something new.. the Cat Eye.. for the New Year... So happy I found her!! So happy to have a place that is still close to me with great ambiance. Prices are great! And if you need a coffee or tea.. the famous coffee shop is in the same shopping center. There is PLENTY of parking! Come and try it! I truly recommend this fresh new place!

    It was my first time trying this nail salon. I was excited as the place seemed clean and very modern. Everything was going well, when the nail tech (older women with glasses, didn't get her name) asked me what color I shared an inspiration photo of what I had in mind. She hesitated but then said she was able to do it. Everything was going well she cleaned my nails very well and refilled the acrylic very nicely. She then started painting my nails and I could already tell the design was not what I wanted, the lines were very crooked and not it. I was completely honest with her and told her I wasn't liking it and ask for her just to do french tip nails. The french tips were also not looking very promising they were too thick and crooked. I again was very transparent and informed her I was not liking how they were looking, she got very upset and said she didn't know what I was expecting. I asked her to just leave the french tip base color on all my nails and that was it. One of my nails broke that same day. Overall not terrible, but also not true to their clients.

    First visit and I will definitely be back. Mia and Han did a beautiful job on my hands and feet. Great vibes and great service. 5 stars!

    Gel manicure after one week.
    Susan C.

    I've been to this nail salon three times. The first two visits were great, I left happy with the service and results. However, my most recent experience was really disappointing and has made me decide not to return. I went in for a gel manicure, which cost $55 plus a $10 tip. While the price is already on the higher side, I was in and out extremely fast, no massage, no care, just rushed service. It honestly felt like they were just trying to get me out as quickly as possible. What's worse is that the gel manicure started chipping after only one week. I always get gel specifically because it's supposed to last longer, so this was really frustrating. For the price I paid, I expected way better quality and care. I used to really like this place, but sadly, I won't be coming back.

    We called on Saturday around 6pm to see if they can do a specific design. They were quick to respond and allowed us to come in around 6:30 to get a set done. It wasn't very busy and we got sat right away. The nail tech KIMMY was great! The owner was kind and gave us water bottles. It only took around 2.5 hours and it was $140. Service was great, everyone was nice, and store was clean! Will be coming back again.

    I had to wait over 10 minutes to get a seat because it was extremely crowded which was fine I didn't mind waiting. But there was a party of 4/5 that had made appointments and they didn't have seating for them. Which to me is really messed up and that also means they don't know how to prioritize clients. I sat down ready to relax, instead my feet were treated horribly!! I also asked for their tropical package which was supposed to include a massage which I didn't get, they also used a cheese grater to clean your feet which should never be used! The girl who did my feet was so rough, she cut my toes with the drill, I was charged $65 dollars for bad service and cuts on my feet, and on top of it I still left a tip. I wanted a place to relax and unwind from a long drive to Los Angeles from Fresno and I definitely did not get that. Instead there was a huge dog inside with a customer, there were customers on their cellphones face timing and having full blown conversations. It wasn't relaxing at all, and the parking to get here was horrible. I came because I saw the reviews were high but they are definitely wrong. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

    First time doing my manicure and pedicure! It was a great experience! The area was clean and the staff were friendly. The prices were great I paid for gel nails manicure and pedicure $70 without tip included ($35 each) Also they provided some water and gave me cuticle oil to take home. Highly recommend Han she was able to get my nails how I wanted and was gentle and took her time! I will definitely be returning and recommending!

    I had high hopes for this salon after my first couple of visits, which were pleasant and left me satisfied with the results. Unfortunately, my most recent experiences have been incredibly disappointing, and I feel compelled to share what happened. The first issue I encountered was with inconsistent pricing. My initial visit included an ombré acrylic overlay manicure, which cost $50. When I returned for a color change--also ombré but without a new overlay--I was surprised to be charged $60. I didn't say anything at the time, assuming there might've been a misunderstanding. However, on my third visit, I was charged $70 for the exact same ombré style. When I asked why the price had increased again, I was told it was simply because it was "ombré"--which made no sense, since all my previous visits had been the same service. Despite the pricing confusion, I kept coming back because my nails still looked good. Sadly, my last visit completely changed that. The technician I was assigned to--Bill--was incredibly rude and unprofessional. From the moment I sat down, he acted like he didn't want to be there, and his demeanor toward me felt unnecessarily cold and uncomfortable. He was rough and careless, and during the appointment, he cut me, over-filed my nails, and ruined the shape I had worked so hard to maintain. I also politely asked him to clean underneath my nails, which is a reasonable request--and he scoffed at me like I had asked something absurd. What's worse is that he left me with uneven, painful nails and visible dirt underneath the acrylics. I was so upset I sat in my car and cried afterward. I've never been treated so poorly at a salon before, and it was heartbreaking considering how much time and care I've put into growing and maintaining my natural nails. I used to recommend this place and spend my money here regularly, but I will not be returning after this experience. It's incredibly disappointing to be treated this way at a business you've supported. Please be mindful of where you choose to spend your money--I don't take writing reviews like this lightly, but this experience genuinely hurt me. ****Update: As I sit here with my fingers burning and my nails visibly damaged, I can't stop thinking about how this has truly been the worst nail salon experience I've ever had. When I arrived, my natural nails were strong, healthy, and well-maintained--so much so that the front desk associate even complimented them, surprised to learn they were real. What followed felt not just careless, but almost intentional. The technician, Bill, was extremely rough, repeatedly slapping my hands and even tapping me with his filing tool, treating me more like a nuisance than a client. I left with disfigured, painful nails, and it honestly felt like I was being punished for something. The entire experience was disturbing--at moments it even felt targeted, as if he wanted to hurt or humiliate me. When I explained to the front desk how awful the service was, Bill walked over, grabbed my hand without consent, and began speaking loudly in another language. He claimed my nails looked this way because they "curve naturally," and this was the only way he could work with them. That explanation made no sense, especially considering how well-shaped they were when I arrived. He then went and sat down in a spa chair across the room and just glared at me while I tried to finish explaining my concerns. This entire situation has been nothing short of a nightmare. I've never felt so disrespected and mistreated at a place I willingly chose to support. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what I did.

    I had such a bad experience the old guy was so aggressive he kept telling me to relax my hand and pushing my hand to relax it. His work was so bad and it's so sad because I got there when they open 9:30am I was the only one there so he was not in a hurry to finish to do a bad work :( I asked for small size and then I realized he was doing medium size I told him and he ignored me like if he didn't understand English it's upsetting because I payed $100 for a simple nail no design to not being fully paint.

Today Elena got a lash lift and lash tint at Glow Beauty Waxing... and honestly, I'm still shocked at how beautiful it turned out. This wasn't just a "pretty" result. The moment she opened her eyes, her whole vibe changed. Elena kept saying, "Mom, I want my lashes SUPER lifted!" and somehow they understood exactly what she wanted. Every single lash was lifted perfectly. Long, clean, dramatic -- but still soft and natural. Her eyes look brighter, bigger, and so much more sparkling. When I saw her side profile, I literally had to stop for a second. And the tint made everything even prettier. It looks like she was naturally born with dark, perfect lashes. But the best part wasn't even the lashes. It was watching Elena quietly smile at herself in the mirror and say, "Mom... I love it so much." That moment melted my heart. Sometimes beauty isn't about changing a face. It's about watching someone's confidence quietly bloom 오늘 엘레나는 Glow Beauty Waxing 에서 속눈썹 펌과 틴트를 했다 근데 이건 그냥 "예쁘게 됐다" 수준이 아니다. 진짜 눈 뜨는 순간 분위기가 완전히 달라졌다. 엘레나가 원하던 그 느낌.

    I have pitifully wispy eyebrows and am thankful to be alive in an era of high quality…read moresemi-permanent makeup technology. I started getting my brows microbladed over a decade ago by a woman named Han. She was still my go-to person when I tried to text her for an appointment last week. To my surprise, I got a response from Connie of Glow Beauty Waxing, who told me Han was no longer in the state and that she, Connie, would be taking care of all clients in the meantime. She assured me that she'd been working with Han for over ten years, and that yes, she could see me that very afternoon. Han is apparently in Hawaii now, unless of course Connie has Talented Mr. Ripleyed her and taken her phone number and client list. I suspect this is not the case, as Connie is very sweet. She is also an excellent esthetician, and I will be going to her from now on for all my eyebrow needs. I met her in her little room inside Cherie Nail at the Koreatown Galleria, next to the food court. It was a neat, functional space, with a single bed for customers to lie down and entrust her with their faces. It had been over a year since my last microblading appointment, and the pigment had definitely faded. Connie also pointed out that it had turned slightly red, noting that the fine lines made by microblading smudged and turned reddish on some people's skin. She suggested a different permanent makeup technique that might be better for me, and I told her to go ahead and do as she thought best. She sketched out a shape, which I approved, then waxed my brows and started the process of filling them in. I took a nap and woke up with fresh, handsome eyebrows that had no relation to my DNA. Connie used a technique I'd never heard of called powder spray, and it looks fantastic. Less natural than microblading but like meticulous make-up, better than any pencil job I've ever done. It was also significantly less painful than microblading. It's been a little over a week and I love my new eyebrows. I also love that I don't have to think about them until my touch-up in a month or so, and for another year or whatever after that. I hope Han is enjoying Hawaii, and I'm happy to have Connie in charge of my brows.
