    Went in for a full set and pedicure but had to take off the gel polish first. While î was seated, getting the pedicure, the lady came to take off my nail polish. She conveniently filed and buffed the nails on my pants with no towel. All the while standing over me. When she was done, î told her î won't be getting my nails done anymore. When î was about to pay, she grabbed my card and went "how much tip do you want us to withdraw" The audacity tho. Definitely don't recommend.

    The grossness you'll get if you come here.

    Don't come to this place. I paid $60 for a crap gel pedi and mani. It's literally crap! I can't even look at my nails they are so gross. Save yourself the headache run in the opposite direction of this place!

    No wait. Very nice ladies. And my gel is still on no chips 4 weeks later. it is pricey but worth it they take their time. Got the classic French manicure.

    Lily is simply Amazing!!!

    Lily is just wonderful! I went in last night 1 hour before they close and she welcomed me in no problem. Told me to have a seat and she would be with me shortly. I wanted matte nails and she was honest in telling me it wouldn't come out like the picture. She is very friendly. I recommend Lily 100% !

    Pink & White full set @Kala Nails.....Thanks Lily....I love them!!!

    My daughter and I were out running errands and looking for a spot to get our nails 'did' and came across this little gem of a place in the Target/Kohls shopping center on Corbin. Lily, she might be the owner not sure, was super nice and took us right away. It made me nervous that only one person was in there getting a pedicure and only two technicians were working on a SUNDAY....but we got a good vibe and decided to give them a chance. SO glad we did! My daughter and I both got pink n white....a little variation on the style due to our own preferences...but both turned out just as we wanted! Parking: private lot with ample parking Pricing: spa pedicures are only $15.00 and pink & white full set $30.00 Overall, great service, kind people, definitely coming here again!!!

    No wonder the place is empty. It sucks.

    Wouldn't recommend it. I would say go to JK nails in the valley instead of here. I got gel nails here and they began to turn black and bubble up so I came back the lady started to blame me and make up all this crap. In the end there are much better places. I highly recommend JK nails than here.

    First time doing my nails here and I am very happy how they turned out. Lily is super sweet and funny. She did such an amazing job with my nails. They have a variety of colors to choose from. Today I tried the gel nails and I love them. She has also been doing my eyebrows and I have to say now they look perfect. Definitely recommend this place. It's very clean and updated. Lily is very friendly and highly recommend asking for her.

    I love how Lily did my nails! The shape, color, and thinness! She does such a good job, I rarely have a nail break on me! I love having her do my nails and will continue to go here

    Lifting after 1 week.
    Cristina M.

    Get gel, they said. It will last longer they said. This is after 1 WEEK. I didn't cook, wash dishes, clean, or anything that would mess them up. Even if I had, it should not do this. The product they used advertises that it will last up to 21 days. I have 3 other nails that are starting to peel as well. Not worth the $25. I will NOT be coming back here.

    I was a walk-in fill around 230 on a tuesday.. Lily was free and saw me immediately. I would have appreciated her taking a little more care with my hands but she was working like a robot. Super quick and like she's been doing this for a couple decades. She piled on the acrylic quickly then used the Dremel tool to smooth them out which burned my nail beds a little.. I did have a nail that was much short than the rest and she rebuilt it very quickly and made then all pretty much the same shape... no nail brush or hand soap in the bathroom... i tipped 5 bucks, it was worth every bit of 21$ and Ill probably go back... i prefer the bare minimum so the work speaks for itself

    Uneven and bumpy coverage. No cuticle care even though I asked for it! Painted onto my skin too.
    Amanda L.

    I came back to this salon for a full set this time. Please take your time to read this review and to save your money. On my nails: I was seated quickly because I had an appointment. But my nail tech made no effort to greet me or even ask how I wanted my nails. She heard the tech at the front say "full set" in Vietnamese and that was enough for her. She quickly clipped my own nails down horribly and buffed the bare surface of my nail with the rougher buffing head. She didn't care to clean my nails or do anything to my cuticles and proceeded to add the tips on. Which she used excessive glue for. She wasn't being careful and kept getting the glue everywhere. Then she up sold me to a gel full set while promising me it would still only be $25. It ended up being 40 and she didn't even bat an eye when I told her she told me 25. My nails have horrible coverage, are bumpy and uneven and the paint job she did was not precise at all! The paint got all over the sides of my skin and left over cuticles and now are chilling weirdly as my nails grow out. It's been two days and I'm very disappointed. I'm going to have to get this entire set redone at a better salon. On their rude trash talking in Vietnamese: I'm fluent but I didn't make an effort to tell them that at first, because why should I? As my tech was fitting the tips onto my nails the tech at the front wondered over after another tech told her I was looking at my nails too much. *all in Vietnamese. So the nail tech who came over told my nail tech IN VIETNAMESE to redo my tips or my nails would break. And she didn't, she just kept going. Then they discussed how I kept looking at my nails for no reason and to charge me extra if I complain. It wasn't until after I mentioned my nationality that they changed to fake nice. I'm very disappointed. I won't be coming back and I suggest to anybody looking for a nice gel full set with coffin shaped nails to go elsewhere. Unless they want to waste their money.

    Thank you Lily!

Yes there are people who fall asleep, but many of us are grateful for a quiet massage where we do not need to make conversation but can relax and experience release from pain. Many comes to Nuch for their traditional Thai deep tissue and stretching massage or foot baths and reflexology. There are strong people there for those massages like Molly, Bea, and Linda. Thankfully, I prefer a more gentle massage so the woman there Ann I go to is exquisitely attuned to where to work and where to soothe. Knowing that Nuch takes care of her small staff and they have healthy safe lives gives peace of mind. Nuch is next door to a Thai place one one side and a Duck place on the other. Friends and Family is across Winona. Where else can you spend $80. and add a generous tip for an amazing hour after which you leave feeling greatly improved? We are so lucky to live close enough to E. Hollywood/Los Feliz to have this wonderful resource! I suggest calling for a reservation, but they do take walk-ins as well.

Parking is a royal pain here although they have a reserved space up front but some idiot parked over the line next to it so only a motorcycle can fit. Ambiance was great-dark and smooth jazz playing in the background with curtains separating the massage tables so privacy is not an issue. I'll be back.

I have gotten many…read moremassages from many different employees over the years, but tonight's massage from Emma blew me away. First of all, a 90 minute foot massage is only $60 and it includes the rest of your body but over your clothes so it's not the oil massage you get from the combo option, but it's amazing you get all of the other parts of your body included for such a low price. I have chronic pain due to an extra bone in my feet, and it gets really unbearable because I work on my feet. I came in barely able to walk, and came out feeling like my feet got replaced with new ones. I asked Emma if she could focus on that bone area due to the pain I was feeling, and unlike other people who kind of barely give it any extra focus, she really took her time to be thorough and used different techniques. She didn't just rub the same part over and over like other people have done. I get that it's a strange request because it's just a bone protruding from my foot so people might not think there's a lot you can do, but she gave it so much extra care. I'm feeling almost no pain at all for the first time in a long time. I've never had a masseuse listen to my requests like she has. But on top of that, she was just so sweet. When I had to go to the bathroom, which is located outside, she gave me a blanket to throw over my shoulders because she thought I'd be cold. Every time I asked for a little bit softer, she would giggle and tease me in a playful way and even though I can't speak Chinese and there's a language barrier, I can tell she's so good mannered and kind. I typed all my requests to her into a translation app and she understood everything perfectly so there were no hiccups at all. I think this was my absolute favorite experience getting a massage and I'll only be getting them from Emma from now on! Anywhere else, you'd pay at least $90 for a 90 minute massage. $60 is a steal - I tipped her $30. Everybody get your massages from Emma (and tip her a lot please! She is so nice). She also actually massaged me slightly over 90 minutes - that's never happened before lmao. Usually I get stiffed about 10 min here and there but she was extremely thorough. I love Emma! Thank you!

Then I remembered visiting certain places in Hong Kong that resembled this, where I walked away shameful about judging a book by its cover. This place is a no-frills, Econo-looking room with several draped curtains that serve as separation walls. A 5-star resort it is not. But it IS what I call, old-school, circa 1980s foot massages you would have found in Kowloon, or some no-frills places in Singapore. The massage? AMAZING. The wife and I have been suffering from stiff backs and tight shoulders for weeks, and this place took care of all of it. They dug deep into our backs and legs, and broke down almost every stiffness wall we came in with. Best part of it? Value pricing. $90 total for wife's one-hour, and my 30-minute massage. You won't find that kind of pricing in a lot of places. Definitely a place I'll come back to.
