I had an amazing experience at Ivy nail & spa nail salon. Their regular spa pedicure is incredibly thorough -- from meticulous cuticle care to callus removal, precise nail filing, and a proper base coat, color, and top coat. The leg massage was fantastic and the massage chair was so comfortable that I didn't want to get up. I highly recommend Angel for pedicures; she's friendly detailed, gentle, and truly takes her time. Anna has a positive personality is wonderful for manicures and acrylic nails -- her work is clean, beautiful, and long‑lasting. Call ahead to book an appointment. They take Venmo, Zelle, cash, & credit card. read more

I've been getting my nails done here for years!!! They are quick & friendly & my full set lasts me over a month every single time! Since I have 2 kids under 2, I can't go too often so I love that my nails last me so long. Also very clean and fresh environment. read more

Great place to get your nails done they always managed to fit me in. I love that they don't mind doing some of my crazy designs. Service staff is always very sweet and kind. read more

I was in the middle of services, finishing a pedicure before gel nails, and they left me to go to someone else because they had an appointment. I understand how appointments work but the person was a few minutes early and I'm sure they could have waited. I left after my toes dried and went to another place to get my gel nails done. I'd never recommend this place. It's not current, not clean, and they left nail polish on my skin read more

I requested a design, but it didn't turn out as expected. The technician mentioned that it was due to my short nails, which she should have mentioned upfront. She also refused to change the color, claiming that she had already applied one coat of polish. I won't be returning. read more

This place is very popular. They will get the job done. I am speaking from my personal experience. Its not a bad location. I just am never happy leaving here. I always go happy with positive vibes. Just expecting a nice set of nails. They are very pricey but not detailed and that's an issue for me. They are not too clean, I notice spots after remodel that were still dusty and dirty. They do not care if your cuticles are screaming they will not clean them up. I ask once and she ignored me. Then the one time she did. She cut the hell out of me. She didn't say sorry or give me a discount. Lol I felt so violated and sad because it hurt! she just put this white powder that turned brown with the blood coming out my thumb. She started speaking in her language about cutting me. That's when I knew I needed a new spot plus after my search this place runs $10-$15 more. She doesn't prep the nail nicely it's sloppy. At a quick glance they look great but focused they are sloppy. Where the acrylic and cuticle meet it's always clumpy it's doesn't get prepped down evenly. Always a Lil uneven. My index finger was always crooked. At my new location my index finger looks fine. This one young girl did my nails once sitting on one leg under her butt. My fill once cost the same price as a full set. I was so confused. This is just my personal experience and I wasn't happy. I've had maybe 7-8 visits. read more

This was my first time coming here and definitely won't be the last. I was pretty nervous because my last set at a different place kept breaking. However this place exceeded my expectations. The shape is beautiful. And the service was amazing. read more

super sloppy nail job. they removed my gel manicure with NAIL CLIPPERS . the manicurist filed my nails very jagged and rigid and did not feel the need to fix it. she also didn't cut my dead cuticles and proceeded to just pant over them. not to mention she got polish all over my skin and left it. 0 out of 10, just do your own nails read more

My nail length was getting too out of control for my taste, so I decided to go get my nails done today. Note: the owner replies fast when you schedule appointments through Yelp. I scheduled an appointment through Yelp this morning. The owner replied in about an hour. I made my appointment for 1 pm and when I got to the salon they honored it. Great things: not crazy busy, they have WIDE selection of gel colors, plenty of space and substantial parking space. The tech that did my nails was fast which was nice. The only critique I have is that they tried to rush me out because it became busy around 2 pm. I have attached photos. read more

Worst experience ever honestly was very disappointed as I just moved to the area and we're reviewing new nail salon options the reviews on this one stated a couple of great services alike mine so I want to share this because I think I didn't deserve to pay what I didn't even ask for and to be actually hurt in the salon itself here are photos of what I asked for nails to be and what they came out as and not to mention the way they did my pedicure which they cut me pretty deeply now my toe hurts to even move worst worst worst experience ever think twice before going. read more

I didn't have an appointment so I had to wait some time to get service but I kind of expected that. They were pretty busy for a Friday morning so I was hopeful they would be good. I was very happy with the result of my gel manicure. The tech spent her time doing things right and making sure she didn't file my nails too thin when removing the dip color I had previously gotten somewhere else (but didn't take too long either). She also tried her best to match the design ideas I had for an accent nail and I was very happy with the result. I would recommend this place and I'm coming back for sure. read more

I am a fairly new customer to Ivy Nails. I've been coming here for less than a year and have been back once a month or every other month since. Because of my work hours, sometimes I go to another nail salon close to work if I'm pressed for time. Anyway, I really like Anna and Ivy. Always top notch work from them and always have met my expectations if not more. Now as for the other nail technicians, they are all very nice, always smiling, and carry a nice conversation; however, I would say what docked a star off this review was due to a recent experience. I didn't get her name, but she started on a gel manicure on me. Everything started off fine and she was very friendly and nice. But what turned me off was that as soon as another customer came in who had to wait, she started rushing when she was still working on me. She was obviously rushing because 1) she cut me TWICE when she was trimming my cuticles 2) she started standing up when doing my nails. That's fine and all if it makes you more comfortable, but because it was so obvious she was in a rush, it made me uncomfortable 3) she put lotion on my forearm and that's it. My hands are as dry as the Sahara desert And it just got progressively worse when the other customer who had to wait got up to leave. My nail technician assured her only 10 more minutes, so whatever. It was just annoying and had me in an irritable mood especially because I have to look at these cuts on my fingers now. I'm reasonable and I know that it happens from time to time, but because she didn't apologize and was clearly in a rush, it was something I couldn't let go. This experience won't stop me from going back (for now at least), but I hope that they read this so they know that this kind of practice doesn't go unnoticed. I understand that it's a business, but something like this can make you lose multiple customers instead of just ONE customer that had to wait. read more

My family and I have been going here since I can remember. As an adult, I started venturing out in search of "my own nail place." But a few months ago I came back to my old stomping grounds and couldn't be happier! Anna, the owner, is outstanding. Works very hard and is very conscientious of her employees' work & clients' happiness. A few weeks ago, we were mourning the loss of my father and Anna ensured our visit was nothing less than perfect. Mia - SHEESH! If you need a beautiful manicure. Book Mia. She's incredible, kind, and very knowledgeable. I love the colors she recommends me!!! Definitely recommend this spot, it has become my every-other-week routine. thank you for taking such good care of our family, ladies!!! Beautiful work!!! read more

Have been coming to Ivy Nails for over 15 years! They are truly the best and their prices are reasonable. Ellen & Anna are top notch manicurists.

Alright bro, time for a new nail place. I always call ahead of time because I know they are busy and was told to come at noon. Show up 5 minutes before noon and the first thing I am told with hella attitude is that I am too late and now I have to wait. Say what? I don't mind waiting but I do mind rude ass people especially when I didn't do anything wrong. This always happens in all nail shops I go to. I like them, they get cray busy and customer service goes to sh*t. Le Sigh...oh well on to the next. read more

This review is dedicated to the special care and attention that "Ana" gives to her clients! Very clean and detailed nail artwork coming from this hard working little lady. Some clients definitely remain faithful to their Nail lady and in this case, I now, most definitely don't mind the drive to Whittier at all! This little nail salon will shine and bring more business to the area thanks to her amazing nail art! Love ya Ana.. Keep up the great work.. You never disappoint and we absolutely, indeed appreciate people like you. read more

I came here to try a new spot for my pedicure but mainly to relax but that did not turn out the way I thought. Camila helped me and asked if I wanted manicure too and I said no multiple times. Camila first set the water hotter than I ever expected, almost hot enough to be unbearable but I'm tough. Second, the pushing nipping and cutting of cuticles was painful in pulled back multiple times cause of pain. I toughed it out and when she's done she said "are you okay" I said "I think so, why?" She said "did it hurt?" I said, "why would it hurt? It was too rough huh? Yeah.." she said "okay sorry" I said okay "okay thank you" she moved on to the exfoliating part and is scrubbing my feet until I feel my skin hurting irritating I had to pull away and ask her to stop. She says sorry and says she'll be more gentle. In my opinion as as licensed cosmetologist I do think it was intentional and/or careless and I don't think she should be doing pedicures. I'm very disappointed with my experience here I did not like being hurt the whole time and will never be coming back again. read more

Horrible experience. The girl who did my nails did a terrible job and almost filed my finger tips off to get the gel off my skin. I came for a gel mani - regular pedi, but as I was getting my manicure the girl doing my nails said she couldn't do my pedicure anymore like ok.. not planning on coming back read more

I've been here many times and always had good experiences, except for the last two times. 1st bad experience: The tech pushed back my cuticles completely dry. She did not soak them first, nor did she apply cuticle softener. I tried to explain to her that I was displeased with the way she was doing it, and I asked her to do it correctly. I ended up asking another tech to do my nails instead. She did a KILLER job on them. 2nd bad experience: My daughter and I came in for manis and pedis. I had to ask my tech to push back and nip my cuticles on my toes. She did my big toe and decided she was done. She did a much better job on my fingers. The tech who did my daughter's nails did an atrocious job on them. Her cuticles looked as if they'd not been nipped at all. Her nails were all different lengths. The nail polish was cheap and blotchy, and it was all over her cuticles. I had to ask the tech to do her entire manicure over again. We will not be returning to this salon. read more

Update: Thank you to the owner who contacted me directly and had me come in to get my nails properly done, free of charge! They came out great the second time, as they were done by Ivy this time. read more

He did a horrible job. I hate my nails and want to cry! I have my birthday dinner tonight and now I have ugly nails. My pedicure was great as always. I may not return. So disappointed. read more
