    Love this set!!! Didn't get cut or anything. They were very nice and were happy to help me with my set! Cow themed for my daughters first birthday party!

    Okay so this review has been a long time coming. I have been going to see Vee for my nails and Nancy for my toes for the past 7ish years. Every time I leave I'm extremely satisfied! Today I walked in and told Vee but I have an important gala coming up. I had no idea what I wanted for my nails. I told her what color my dress was and that I wanted my nails to be coffin shaped. I told her I trusted her judgment and this is the lovely amazing product she came up with. Now this isn't the first time this has happened and I should have posted years ago but I'm a procrastinator. I got married last month and my nails were phenomenal. Not only do my nails look amazing but they last 3 to 4 weeks.

    The "matching" gel polish with the pedicure.  Clearly it does NOT match.  The gel color completely WARPED into this disgusting yellow!!!

    One of the WORSE manicure experience I have ever encountered in a long while. NONE of them are officially licensed professionals except for the one who sits at the front (perhaps owner/partner) who speaks fluent English. Although I would still question the authenticity of her license. Anyway, the woman who did my manicure clearly does not know how to trim cuticles nor as simple as applying gel polish correctly. The side of each finger was literally tore up. It doesn't even look like I just had a manicure. The skinbaround the nail was not trimmed smoothly. I don't even know how to explain it. Just plain HORRIBLE! What was also frustrating is that she doesn't even speak English and we couldn't communicate properly. She was also in a huge hurry for some reason while the entire place was EMPTY. Why the rush?? And on top of it the gel color didn't even match the pedicure even though it stated the same name and number on the bottle. The owner suggested to apply a different color over the three coats that has already been applied to mask it. WTF??!! Really??! Now it's been 24 hours and the nail color on my hands have completely warped into a disgusting yellow color that clearly does not match the color on my toes!! And I can't believe the girl who speaks English had the audacity to say, "sometimes the color doesn't match even though it's the same number". Uh, WHAT??? What kind of product are you buying??? Does not make any business sense what so ever!! The same girl who might be part owner gave a half ass apology and like they always do started speaking God knows what in Vietnamese to each other which is annoying AF for customers (and before anyone gets offended I'm Asian American, and yes, I get it). She ended up hiding in the back and continued to inquire in Vietnamese to the two older ladies as I paid FULL effin' price and left very upset. And majority of their nail color selections are OLD AF and very CHEAP looking. Brands that I have never heard before. WHY have that kind of inventory on display?? I have no idea how this place stays in business! Save yourself the disappoinment and go elsewhere!!

    I was referred here by Nancy T. I always love her nails and every time I saw her I would ask where she got her nails done. I was intrigued by the full set, gel, and 3d designs from this place she called "Holly Nails." Since I am usually in Irvine or Upland, this is a bit out of my way for a simple manicure. However Nancy and I had plans to get our nails done together, since she had another wedding coming up and my birthday is coming up. We both did a walk in around 6pm (the shop closes at 7pm) and they were happy to take us. INITIAL REACTION.. .. park behind the spot, there's 2 hour public parking and their back door is open, as well as their front door, to welcome customers. Then when I went in, I noticed it was not as fancy or as modern-looking as the places I was accustomed to. It was simple. Perhaps the spa-pedicure chairs are a bit out of dated. But after going to "Oh my Nails" in irvine, i dont care about how the store-front looks. I spend 1-hour at that spa, but I spend weeks with my nails... ahhaha :) SERVICE: after much hesitation and indecisiveness, I wasnt sure if I wanted to get a french manicure or the gel service again. I was going back and forth as Linda took off the gel I already had on ($3). She was very patient and she just let me ramble as she gently took off my prior ugly-gel job from Oh My Nails. Linda gave me my manicure (9). She trimmed my nails down, cut my cuticles, mini-hand massage, and then she what service I would like, to make sure she was giving me what I want I decided on the glittery purple, french-like gel ($13). Their gel services varies, but I like that everything is clearly labelled, so you dont get tricked into paying more for your service. The price is straight forward. First a clear lay was applied, then purple glitter, another purple glitter, fine glitter in some spots, bigger gradient of glitter in some spots, and a clear coat. My hands were in and out from the uv-dryer thing 6-times each. LOL!! Linda was very meticulous about my nails. I am a very picky person about my nails, so this is hella props. She made sure every layer came on smoothly, evenly, and perfectly. She always cleaned the edges of my nails/cuticles with a brush to make sure none stuck to my skin. I can touch my nails right now and feel a flat &smooth surface... After my nails were done drying, Linda checked over my nails to make sure that everything was still perfect. She was so nice. She applied cuticle oil to my nails to make sure it didnt dry... I thought that showed how skilled she was, compared to the lady Ive had it done at before in irvine. Linda also applied the massage lotion to my hand, to make sure that doesnt dry out either. ADDITIONAL NOTES: - $1 charge if you want to use your debit/credit cards, bring cash!! - a random customer came in close to 7pm, but they were telling me that they are willing to open til 8pm on some days if you ask them ahead of time :) I will definitely come back and bring here with my friends and my cousins. I love this place.. .. I immediately got a compliment by my cousin when I saw her that same night. She was so jealous & she asked me to take her when I go again!!

    That's the way they work

    Worst place worst service!! Keep away from this rude lady's 7 min spa pedicure, yes I took the time, first thing I mention it's there I have back problems and I want to have my feet done first and then nails because it's very uncomfortable to mee to have both things done at the same time. Even though she knew it was uncomfortable for me she made me do it. I am pay 60 dlls for this service and final results it's awful very disappointed I am wait four months to have my nails done and this is my experience.

    Not too happy with my manicure From the beginning of preparation, the lady (I was too pissed to remember her name) was rushing to do my nails. With a kind heart, I paid the full price including tipping her. However, I will NOT come here again or recommend any of my neighbors to get their nails done HERE. Horrible French tip I ever got!!!

    I have been coming here for years now. For one, I have always had good service and have always left been pretty happy with my nails. There have been times that I thought maybe I needed a full set of acrylics, but the owner always assured me that he could clean up my nails really well and that he only need to make a little repair here and there. I have only experienced my gel nail color peeling once. And while it was inconvenient, it was something that the owner touched up for me, for free. My go to girl for my pedicures is named Linda. She is so sweet. She always takes really good care of me. We always have and share a good laugh with one another, talk about her children, and any upcoming trips that I might have. She has always been very social with me. I really appreciate that. I continue to go about every 2 1/2 to 3 weeks to have my nails touched up. Sometimes I need to fill. Sometimes I need a pedicure. Sometimes I need both, or sometimes I just need my color to be changed. Mac is my go to nail tech. He really takes his time and he will ask me very often about what shape I want, whether my nails are too short or too long, if I would like them more narrow, if I prefer my corners to be very sharp and square, or to have square edges but with slightly narrow, rounded corners. Really, he can do it all and he's very accommodating. The one thing that I like the most is that he always takes his time. He has a very light hand. His work has always been great. Until those things change, I will continue to be a loyal patron. Another thing that has me coming back is that the prices are very reasonable. Where I live, one of the moderately popular places in my neighborhood, they charge about $90-$100 for a full set with gel color. We are only talking about gel color, not gel nails and gel color. I'm sorry but that is just too much for me. That's awesome for those who can afford it, but my nails to me, they're more like a fashion accessory, something I change up pretty often and depending on my mood.

    Horrible customer service. My acrylic nails came out terrible. I asked for a new set when I came back or to take them off and refund my money. The owner wouldn't. She only gave me the option of fixing them and charged me full price! She fixed them along with her comments, talking about my nails to all of the workers and while being so Rude! Sorry but I didn't hire the girl who did my nails not sure why she was upset with me! They definitely need to work on customer service and quality!

Eight days after that $180 set, one nail completely fell off with no pain. Anna said she didn't know why it happened, booked me three days later to fix it, and charged me $20. Four days after the repair (about two weeks after the original set), 9 out of 10 nails were lifting from the sides. Again, Anna said she didn't know why and initially told me to come back in three days. I explained I was concerned about moisture and possible fungus, and suddenly she had availability the same day. That was frustrating. When I arrived, Anna didn't examine my nails or apologize. Another tech removed and reapplied a new set, and I was charged $80. Within two weeks, I had spent $280 total. I was only given a $20 gift card. Eleven days later, my thumb nail fell off again. When I reached out, Anna once more said she didn't know why. After spending hundreds of dollars here, I'm very disappointed with how this was handled. The customer service was poor, and I would not recommend this salon.

I actually drove from South Bay to San Gabriel (LOL) because I was really enamored and respected her artistry. I loved the little salon and how professional Lannie is. She's been in the industry for well over two decades and it clearly shows. I appreciated her patience with me as I'm new to getting nails done. The single one star review is actually from a temp employee that is no longer with Lannie! Her prices are on par with most salons. If I remember correctly, it's $40 for single color gel, and then $2-3 per nail for art, $2 per nail for gold flaking. Obviously it really depends on the designs you want but expect about $75 on average, and don't forget to tip either. If you're not sure, she responds pretty quickly to estimated costs. The gel manicure lasted me about 2 weeks, and I ended up taking mine off at home but didn't do it correctly so my nails are pretty bad and will probably take a few more weeks or months to get back to what they were like before. I'd just get it taken off for $10 or so at a reputable salon next time I get gel. I'd love to come as a regular but the salon itself is too far away for me to be comfortable to make that time commitment (2 hour roundtrip + 2 hour appointment) every two weeks. So for now, I think I'll probably try to stop by when I have a day off or for special occasions. Lannie's really busy, expect to need to book an appointment 2-3 weeks out.

I almost don't want to share bc she's already as booked as it is, but's she's so awesome it'd be a shame if not more people know about her & her work. If you're looking for a Saturday, call 3-4 weeks in advance. There may be cancellations but I wouldn't count on it. Weekdays are a little better, esp. during fall/winter, however, still call as early as you can just to be sure. Looking forward to many more fun nails appointments.
