    A real "Russian Manicure"
    Gene G.

    I spotted the sign "Russian Manicure" on the window and I shared this info with my Russian born girlfriend . This nail studio is run by a Ukrainian lady Helena. This is a real Russian Manicure, not to be confused with the standard quick and dirty standard manicure that the vast majority of salons offer. As a man, I can see the difference in the finished work - the gel is smooth as glass, the cuticles carefully cleaned, fingernails uniformly shaped. You pay a little more but well worth it !!!!

    My new manicure

    I'm so happy I saw Helena Nail Studio's RUSSIAN MANICURE sign in the window as I was driving on Los Al Blvd the other day. I got my nails done today and it exceeded my expectations! I'd recommend Helena Nails Studio for high quality, cleanliness, modern equipment and professionalism.

    Helen is great. Her attention to detail is fabulous. Her skills result in beautiful nails. Will becoming back and recommending her to my friends and family in the area. 100% recommend her for beautiful Russian manicures.

    My peeling nails and look at the shape.

    I came to get my nails done I thought I was going to get them done my Helena, I needed a last minute nail job as my boyfriend and I were going somewhere. I was seen by someone else. All my nails were uneven meaning all my nails were different sizes, they were thick. Two of my nails are peeling already. It's been not even a whole 24 hours. 190 for my mani pedi and I don't feel satisfied. I feel like she should have told me she wasn't available and I would have waited to get my nails done with her. I had come home to make them thinner and to file them even. Russian manicures are very expensive and I did not receive the quality I paid for. Again 190 is not cheap. I understand some people are beginning, but she should let people know that someone else would be doing my nails. Could I of walked out and changed my mind yes, but I figured since there's NO PLACE that does Russian manicures it would be Fantastic and since I had a dinner to go to I couldn't go anywhere else. Pasadena and San Diego i is so far, but I should have just went to where I'm familiar with. I'm sad this is what I got for 190. Other than that the studio is clean and doesn't smell of hard chemicals.

    After

    First time doing a Russian manicure 10 out of 10. I usually do acrylic nails went with olena for the first time and definitely coming back. You never know the difference until you actually try something new and my nails look natural and my cuticles look amazing.! If you're thinking about it, definitely recommend a hidden gem in Los Alamitos. !!

    I love my summer nails! I've been going to Helena for 2 years now and she's the best! Quality is consistent, easy scheduling, competitive pricing. Definitely check out her Los Alamitos location. It's really nice.

    The best Russian manicure! My nails have never looked so clean. Helena is friendly, up to date on the latest treatments and makes you feel relaxed! Highly recommend if you want flawless nails - I found my forever nail tech in OC!

    I've been to many salons, but this one is by far the best. The nail technician is very nice, knowledgeable, and super professional. These are the best nails I've ever gotten done in Los Angeles. I highly recommend!

    Amazing Russian hard gel manicure So clean and detailed. Highly recommend Lena is great

    Absolutely Obsessed - My New Go-To Nail Spot!

    This is my first-ever Yelp review, and I couldn't wait to write it because this nail salon truly deserves all the love! I recently had a Russian manicure done by Olena, and let me just say--my nails have never looked this clean, polished, and perfect. Olena is a true artist and a perfectionist in the best way. She took her time, paid attention to every detail, and made sure I was 100% happy with the shape, color, and overall look. The Russian manicure she gave me was so precise and flawless--my cuticles are smooth, my nails look elongated, and the finish is just chef's kiss. The salon itself is super clean, calming, and beautifully maintained. It's the kind of place that makes you feel relaxed the second you walk in. Olena was welcoming, and the whole experience felt like a treat. If you've been searching for a place that does Russian manicures right--especially with someone as talented as Olena--look no further. I've officially found my forever nail spot!

    My cool manicure

    I've been going to Helena for my nails and I can honestly say--she's the best! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also really listens. No matter how wild or detailed my nail ideas are, she's always up for the challenge and somehow brings them to life even better than I imagined. Creative, patient, and always on point--highly recommend if you want nails that are anything but boring!

    If you've been considering That Nail Spa, I hope this motivates you to finally book an appointment…read more I'm moving across the country soon, and yesterday was my final visit. Over the last year, Eddie and his team have seen me through pregnancy and a rough postpartum era, always sending me off feeling relaxed with beautiful, healthy nails. I've trusted them with everything: Gel-X sets and fills, soft gel builder, and classic gel mani/pedis. They are true experts at maintenance and "rescue" work, too. They've repaired my cracked natural nails, handled ingrowns with incredible care, and didn't even bat an eye at the heavy callouses I developed from traveling in harsh weather and hard water. What sets them apart is their genuine consideration. They remember your name and ask about my baby -- and you can tell it's not just a pleasantry; they truly care about the person in the chair. Eddie is a total nail art guru, and his entire team is just as talented. Whether you bring in a specific "inspo" photo or you're on the fence about a color, they'll give you an honest, professional opinion to make sure you leave happy. Pro Tip: My biggest piece of advice is to call ahead to check for availability so you can avoid a wait! A huge thank you to Eddie and the team. I'm truly hoping that wherever I go next will meet the high standards That Nail Spa has set for me!

Only one nail naturally fell off (leaving an extremely healthy nail behind) at the very end of December. Came here right before NYE & got a soft gel manicure on my REAL nails for the first time in years...!!!!!!! Michelle did my gel-x manicure in Nov. She was extremely precise & attentive, bc my nails were in really bad shape. The gel-x experience allowed my natural nail beds to completely heal & I had nail growth like never before (never happened like this w acrylics.) I was beyond impressed that the nails even stayed on for 8 weeks. Eddie did my soft gel manicure on my actual real nails that had grown long enough for me to not want extensions. My nails are finally healthy!!! I adore having super long nails, but I want to see how long my natural nails can grow & whether they'll be strong. This is so exciting for me! He is very knowledgeable of the nail industry & we laughed about the horrors of press-on nails. Never again. He also let me choose the show on the tv via streaming services, so I just chilled & watched one of my favourite tv shows :) The pedicure was done by Cindy, who was a great masseuse as well! I chose a playful pink for my toes & a more muted soft pink for my nails. Eddie asked if it was okay that the colour had shimmer & I said of course! But it's this attention to detail that makes this place so elegant and of high quality. The massage chairs are so comfortable, & I'm writing this from the also comfortable "waiting area" chairs while my mother gets a French soft gel short manicure! I have converted her to That Nail Spa :) Beautiful & tranquil atmosphere. Definitely coming back...!!!

I walked into Phoenix with a mindset of "me-time" and just breathe. These ladies know what they are doing! I booked an appointment for both a mani-pedi and it was totally worth it! Pedi: it was super relaxing to give your legs some tlc! They were very meticulously on making sure my cuticles were at their best and their sugar scrub and cooling gel.. omg my legs felt so soft! And that minty/cooling gel they put on.. you gotta get that package! Mani: definitely get the gel for this one as well! Trust the process! I got the magnetic cat eye gel for my nails and they also added little hearts on them too! It's such a cute touch! Walking out of the salon made me realized... life isnt perfect but your nails def can be!

I want to support that whenever I can! Also, once the employees get to know you, they remember your name and treat you like family. If it isn't too busy, they all pull together and go above and beyond to make sure you are relaxed, happy and well cared for. My nails always look AMAZING and I've never had to come back for any issues or fixes. My Gel mani lasts 10 days EASILY. A Gel pedi will last me til my next visit or beyond. They also have a rewards/card loyalty program that doesn't require a dumb app or email...LOVE that and LOVE PHOENI nail!
