    Great location, convenient parking in the back, and unparalleled service! Definitely would come back for the hospitality and kindness alone. Add on top of that the excellent work (see photo) and the very reasonable prices, and I now have my new go-to salon! Thank you for my pretty pretty Rosebud organic gel nails!

    I had such a lovely experience at Inspire! It's a family-owned and run business, and I had the pleasure of being welcomed and treated graciously. With the Yelp check-in offer, I paid $33 for gel mani and regular pedicure, plus an additional $10 to have my calluses removed. My hands and feet were catered to with patience and care, and we all had such a lovely time chatting. Can't wait to return again!

    Got a gel mani and pedicure for 33 dollars!!! What an amazing deal in LA and there is free parking in the back of the building! I walked in and they were able to have me in an out fast and I didn't have to wait! They were super friendly and they have a great color selection and organic selection as well! I will be back :)

    I had bitten all of my cuticles off but they made my fingers look presentable!!!

    Such a nice homey place to get a mani pedi. I came in with a Groupon deal but Mo let me know that they will honor the groupon price if you just go directly to them...good to know! The manicurist (Ronda I think) worked with me to make sure I got the exact color I wanted and let me know when the color I picked would be transparent....I really appreciated that because sometimes you get a color and you're like what! Why can I still see my nail through this lol I got one of my favorite pedicures ever here...Marina transformed my ratchet feet into something acceptable haha The vibe here isn't fancy but it's homey and nice and they gave me a cookie...will be back!

    Found this place thru a groupon special for a gel mani and regular pedi. I had my first gel polish- looks great! Can't wait to see how long they last. Everyone was so nice! Nails look fantastic! Will go again

    Ronda and her husband are the sweetest and made my mom and I feel very welcome. Ronda was very gentle when prepping, really listened to what I wanted, and did an amazing job with my gel mani. I also got a regular pedi which turned out beautiful. There are a few parking spots in the back and we were offered coffee or tea when we came inside (it was cold out!) Great business run by great people!

    I got my first mani-pedi with my friend here! It's a family owned business, and Ronda and her husband are the friendliest and nicest people! I was about to run out of time on my meter for street parking so while my nails were drying she helped me park in the lot in the back. She then noticed that that had messed up one of my nails so she fixed it for me :) 10/10 I loved it here!

    BEST mani/pedi (just bad photo)

    Literally just got the first Mani/pedi I've EVER BEEN HAPPY WITH! Rhonda and her husband are simply just the best! The most inviting nail salon you will ever walk-in! I was 20 mins late and they were very accommodating for my appointment! Their hospitality is incomparable and you will leave VERY SATISFIED with whatever service you decide to get! Nail color: VALENTINO

    Less than average experience ... I had no issues with my pedicure although it was kind of odd to have it done at the same time as my manicure and in a foot bath spa bucket thing. Not very relaxing when you're twisted to get a manicure at the same thing. The lady did a good job. The manicure- a whole other story. I had a dip manicure to remove. The tech kept blabbing about how bad it is for your nails. After the third time, I put my headphones in and stopped listening. She applied this "glue remover" polish 15 coats and scraped my nails so hard with the drill and scraper that my nail bed is so uneven and rough. The no chip looks horrible. I know my right hand had 2 broken nails so I asked to cut them down. The shape is awful! On my thumb she cut at a wrong angle so one side is straight and the other is curved. Then my middle finger split down the middle of the nail bc it's so thin bc she scraped and filed too much. My left hand had all long nails and she cut them so unevenly. None are the same length. And cut my cuticle with the drill so it bled. This looks like a training school for permanent makeup so I wouldn't come here for a relaxing spa experience. Then the owner (?) was talking about his infected tooth and gums. No thanks. They do have parking. 1 star for that? I had a Groupon but they match the price in salon.

    Clear pink with glitter ombré!

    Ronda and Moe were such a kickass team with my manicure! I had an idea in my head and with very few reference pictures, they were able to execute it to perfection. And Marina was very meticulous with my toes and did a fantastic job. Every time I come, they have been so so helpful and my nails last for a long time. The prices are very very reasonable, this is definitely my go-to spot for my nails!! I'm excited to come back again :)

    Gel: purple with silver glitter gradient. I told Ronda what I wanted and she executed perfectly making sure I was happy with my results.

    I highly recommend Ronda at Inspire for your manicure needs. I got a gel mani and regular pedi at Inspire last Friday after seeing the deal on Groupon. I did not purchase the Groupon and instead they honored the same price in person which is what I recommend. I told Ronda what I wanted and she made sure I was happy with the result. Marianne did my pedi and it looks great but my big toe nails were cut too short so it was painful. Ronda and Mo are a husband and wife team and they are a joy to be around. They are fun, caring, provide amazing service and communication and they even gave another client a plate of food because she was very hungry. Definitely call them ahead of time to make an appointment and they will honor the Groupon price. They do not take walk ins as they are usually booked in advance, especially towards the end of the week.

    Zero results after microblending procedure performed by Ronda !

    If you wish WELL TO YOURSELF DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE ! Highly INCOMPETENT, UNPROFESSIONAL AND DESPERATE FOR MONEY AND CUSTOMERS MERCHANT Inspirepermanentmakeup! I did a microblading as a walk in and it was my biggest MISTAKE! Do your homework before considering her services!  Remember that there are agencies like DCA and BBB, and few others where you can report incompetent and untrustworthy merchants like this one ! Ronda, will comfort you and tell you what you wanna hear and then if she fails to do her job right, she'll OFFER TO CORRECT HER MISTAKE FOR EXTRA COST !  No refunds ! BE AWARE OF SIGNING HER DECEIVING CONTRACT!!! It says that if she fails to do her job correctly, she is not responsible for it !!  Her EYEBROW MICROBLENDING, which supposed to last up to 12 months, CAME OFF IN LESS THEN A WEEK, which is NOT Normal! Besides that after she DID MAPPING, she still managed to do one eyebrow THICKER than the other!  If she fails to do it right,  she'll tell you it's a fading or immune defense, but it's not the thruth!!! In my case it was NO RESULTS AT ALL ! I did permanent make up few times before and it was never any issues! It was looking great after the first time when I did it somewhere else and based on my previous good experiences I assumed that it would be the case here as well, still she said she had been doing it for a while. Big mistake! I will do whatever it takes to TO GET THIS SITUATION RESOLVED FAIRLY and to notify all appropriate agencies Ronda's INCOMPETENT and DECEIVING PRACTICES!

    Ronda (the owner) did a meticulous job on my gel mani

    I went here today for a Gel Mani and regular Pedi. I got the voucher from Living Social last night and was able to get an appointment for 2:45pm today. Ronda was awesome! She took her time on both the pedi and gel manicure and I'm super happy with the results. Also it's a very cool space with the nail section in the back so it's easy to park behind in walk right in through the back door. I'll definitely return!

    Alyssa's brow work was consistently great, and I was a loyal client of hers for nearly six years…read more Unfortunately, my experience with her business practices and customer service has been deeply disappointing. I recently purchased a 10-session package for $430. I only learned Alyssa was leaving because she casually mentioned it during one of my last appointments. As a client with a half-used prepaid package, I was never proactively notified, offered options, or told how my remaining services would be handled. To be fair, I genuinely tried to make the situation work. I even booked an appointment with one of the artists Alyssa personally recommended. Unfortunately, while they were kind, the results simply were not to my standards. That confirmed what I already knew: I purchased this package specifically because I trusted Alyssa's work--not simply because I wanted eyebrow threading. Feeling stuck, and without another solution, I requested a prorated refund of the unused package. I didn't ask for this refund because of any changes on my end. I requested one because the provider whose services I specifically prepaid for became unavailable indefinitely. Had Alyssa not left, I never would have requested a refund. Instead, I was expected to absorb the financial loss caused by circumstances entirely outside my control, which I believe was fundamentally unfair. Although Alyssa did agree to issue a partial refund, which I appreciate, she would only do so after retroactively repricing all of my completed appointments at the full individual session rate instead of the discounted package rate I had paid. As a result, my refund was substantially reduced. I would never have chosen to receive these services at the full individual session rate. I purchased the package because the discounted pricing reflected the value I was willing to pay. Retroactively converting completed appointments to the full retail rate fundamentally changes the financial agreement I originally accepted. I was told that Alyssa's policy only allows a package-rate refund if an artist "permanently leaves." However, "buying a one-way ticket", "planning to travel for over a year", and having "no return date"is, from a client's perspective, functionally no different. Expecting clients to leave hundreds of dollars with a business indefinitely in the hope that an artist may someday return is unreasonable and unfair. Unfortunately, this experience reflects what I now recognize as a broader pattern. When the studio transitioned to the Fresha booking app, I accidentally booked with a newly hired artist because I didn't realize the new system assigned providers differently than before. Of course, I was welcome to keep that appointment, but I am very particular about my eyebrows, and for several years Alyssa had been the only person I trusted to thread them. Rather than proceed with an artist I didn't know, I immediately explained the misunderstanding and chose to forgo the appointment and wait for Alyssa instead. Despite being a loyal client for years, there was no flexibility or grace for what was clearly an honest mistake during a confusing system transition, and I was still required to pay for an appointment I never received. I've also seen disheartening posts on her business instagram page where she appears to poke fun of clients who arrive late. While every business has the right to enforce a late policy, publicly ridiculing clients who support your business struck me as unprofessional and disappointing. Even as someone who was never once late to an appointment, I still found these posts to be incredibly off-putting. True customer service isn't only about offering clients a drink when they arrive. It is about showing respect for them in difficult situations, especially when your business can no longer fulfill its obligations. Although Alyssa's talent is undeniable, and I sincerely wish her the best with her travels, her talent doesn't excuse poor communication or unfair business practices. After six years of loyalty, I expected to be treated with far more transparency, fairness, and consideration than I received.

It was mainly one girl talking, but maybe close the door for customers. It was way too early in the morning for that much complaining.

Unfortunately, this visit left me incredibly disappointed and genuinely heartbroken. When I arrived, I didn't realize it was by appointment only, but I asked if she had time to take me. She said yes, just to wait, so I did--while she tinted another client's brows. I wish more than anything she had told me no. I've been blessed with thick, full, fluffy brows and I've worked really hard to maintain them. When it was my turn, she never asked me what I wanted. She didn't remove my makeup or clean the area around my brows beforehand, which I've always had done at other places. That was the first red flag. I told her clearly, "I like my brows thick. I'm just here for a clean-up," and she said okay. But once she started, she took an unusually long time, kept plucking, and then started using scissors. I should've trusted my gut and stopped her. When she handed me the mirror, I was genuinely in shock. My brows were so thin--nothing close to the "clean-up" I asked for. I told her they looked really thin, and she just said to use brow gel to brush them up. But how? She cut them so short there's nothing left to brush. Now, my right brow is noticeably thinner than the left. I look like I stepped out of the '90s--and not in a good way. I haven't been able to look at myself without getting emotional. Brows frame your face, and for many of us, they're deeply tied to our confidence. I left feeling devastated. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I hope this saves someone else from going through the same experience. If you love your brows, go elsewhere!
