I don't know why I haven't come here sooner. Fast service and such kind people! Thank you! 100% will be coming back. Thank you for my beautiful nails Kim! read more

Came in on a Sunday with an appointment at 3:30pm. Unfortunately they were EXTREMELY understaffed. Only two workers with four clients. Therefore you can only imagine how quickly they did my pedicure. The lady doing my nails provided no massage and just left me sitting there to help another client when she finished. Don't think I will be coming back. read more

Kala Nails - Only two staff members - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Girl grab a glass of wine , sit down and enjoy this raw, unedited and honest review. My sister and I had been recommended to this place by her best friend. Our first visit went well. Smooth. We laughed, chose our colors & were assisted with kindness and a good regular nail clean up. But wait... the second time was a totally different story. We called in advance to schedule an appt for 2 , basic mani/ pedi NO COLOR. Absolutely nothing special but a good clean up. We arrived with 15 min to spare. They finally sat us down at the pedi chairs and we waited.... and waited.... & waited... after 1hr and me voicing that we HAVE to be out by 6:30 we were helped. HA! It gets better. When we were sat the water was HOT, feet turning RED hot. By the time they decided to assist us our water was COLD. The lady is doing my toes, cleaning up and she cuts me. I stay still and quite to avoid being further cut or hurt. I told her "it hurts. Did you get an ingrown?" She said "hurt? Yeah. Hurt. Okay." Then she ignores my wince and tries to hide my now bleeding toe. Girl when I say bleeding I mean BLEEDING! She quickly pats it & places some powder over it. We walked in for a regular mani/pedi (1hr max)... left nearly TWO hours later, with two unfinished manicure and a cut toe. There's more tea to this story but let's get to the real reason I'm here. Regardless of my efforts and painful cleaning sessions my toe has been struggling to heal. Turns out she slit the skin near my toe. It's become infected and painful to touch. Talk about REAL screams to get it cleaned. I'm on antibiotics to fight the infection and I have to clean it 3x a day. Please keep in mind the beautiful blue tone on my nails was done at home NOT at Kala Nails. I went back requesting a refund & they tried offering me a free pedi. Uhhhh, I kindly told them I will not be coming back. My terrible pedi- job was refunded. No money covers the dr visits, and painful cries. I had two trips planned. Disneyland AND a mini- getaway with my sister. I'm upset at the fact that I can't walk for long periods of time OR get to wear heels, boots, etc. Cute shoes? Yeah, it's a no. SAVE YOUR TOES AND SAY NO ! read more

Can't explain how amazing my nails come out every time. if you want your nails to last, look great go to Kim. Her attention to detail is like no other. She's quick but the quality is fantastic. 10/10 recommend read more

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. read more

Lily is amazing! I have difficult nails to do, due to the fact that I have bitten and picked them for many years. When I first started going to Lily, they were broken and thin and "traumatized", as I was once told at a different shop. Lily is a magician. She makes them look beautiful and they have actually grown. She is friendly and takes her time to make them look great. read more

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! read more

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.

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!!! read more

Kala Nails - Pink & White full set @Kala Nails.....Thanks Lily....I love them!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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. read more

No good service messed up my sister acrylics and messed up my mani pedi while cutting nails they cut off some parts of my skin right after getting my nails done and drying the thumb peeled off and second later the others did you I would defiantly not recommend they cut my nails so short and I said keep a bit long they cut them to my skin not going ever and also 80+ dollars for a simple thing never again read more

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 read more

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. read more

Kala Nails - Lifting after 1 week. - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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 read more

I was a little nervous based upon other reviews but I enjoyed my experience. I walked in and got service immediately. The quality of work is good. I appreciated Lilly's input in helping me pick colors and she fixed the shape of my nails. read more

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. read more

I have been here only 2 times, and this is the best nail place I have been to. Lillie is so creative and always helps me figure out what I want. She even tries different things on my nails to see if I like it, and that takes time. I love my nails after seeing Lillie. read more

Worst eyebrow waxing I have ever had. She said my brows had no shape so she tried her best?!‍ who tf says that .smh Never again read more

I needed to find a new nail salon as the gal who was doing my nails left the shop with no notice. I had been going to her for at least 5 years. I get pink and white acrylics. I am very particular about my nails. I looked at the reviews for this shop and thought I would try it as it is very close to where I live. To my surprise, Lily did an amazing job. I am so thrilled that I found a new shop that I am actually happy with. Believe me, I've been to other places that I was not happy with. She was very detailed and made sure it was perfect. Thank you so much Lily. My last lady who did my nails was named Lily as well. Looks like Lily's are awesome! Marla Lee read more

So my normal nail spot couldn't get me in so I trusted yelp and called and made an appointment. First I have to say many places don't carry the dark pink powder for pink and white acrylics so finding this place was a godsend. Now onto service. The lady that did my nails was quick, professional, and did my nails exactly how I wanted them. She also spent 30 additional minutes covering my ring fingers with full rhinestones and it was only an extra $10. It's so nice to find a place in the valley that will do what you want without trying to sell you on their extra services. It's not a bells and whistles shoo it's basic but I have been back 3 times and have never left unhappy. Also they just do their work no unnecessary conversations. :) read more

I first heard of this place from my coworker. I had a great experience , once I was done with the gel mani (which lasted me three weeks and looked super fly) I forgot my credit card. I asked her if I could come back tomorrow to pay, she said yes. I was surprised! I went back three weeks later and got a full set. I ask for them to be short and to look natural. I loved them. Unfortunately I was not around to get my next fill and I went somewhere else where it's pretty known for their nails and they left my nails uneven and the fill started lifting they also didn't really clean the acrylic powder near my cuticles. I regret paying and waiting almost an hour and a half at that place. I won't go anywhere else again. I've been coming back ever since. read more

Came here on a Sunday called before to make an appt . When I arrived she already had my set up and was waiting for me . As she was doing my nails she kept asking if I liked it not if not she will fix . She took her time and made sure my nails were done good . Clean and cut was all well done . After all I loved my nails she did a great job ! I definitely will be returning. If you go make sure you ask for Lily . The rest of staff isn't so great . Do not get a full set here I have a bad experience . I didn't get the person name but she rushed the whole process and looked it very sloppy.everything else is good . read more

I came in on the spur of the moment, on the Sunday afternoon for a basic mani/pedi. The salon is nice and lovely, and I was cautiously optimistic I can get a decent job done. The reviews were all over the place, but I hoped for the best. The young man (I did not ask his name) did a fairly decent job on my pedicure. However, he could not do a manicure. I asked for round shape nails. He kept filing them at an angle, with sharp corners. I kept asking him to smooth out the corners. He grew frustrated, as if it were my fault he was incompetent. Lili came to the rescue, and she filed the nails perfectly. However, the nail polish peeled off, literally, the following morning. I did not do anything with my hands -- merely went to a party. I suspect that the nail polish was either old or diluted with acetone. Considering they charge $31 ($1 extra for using a CC), for a basic service, I think this was a rip off. I also cannot understand why a person, whose sole job is to file and shape nails the whole day every day cannot do it. I will not return to this place, and I do not recommend it to anyone. read more

Not happy. She painted over my nails and cleaned it off with her own fingernail and then she filed my skin to remove the extra gel paint that she couldn't get off with her finger nail. The bowl she used was dirty with finger prints. It's been 3 days and the paint is already peeling. read more

First time visit, first time getting gel polish- which is the bomb. They were professiinal, polite, did a great job and price was reasonable. I'm glad that I tried this place. Will definitely return read more

I like that this place is not crowded. They do not rush to finish your nails, light handed, and do not cut your fingers. I do have to say my favorite aspect about this salon, is the fact that their employees are very personable, listen to your requests, and make sure you are copletely satisfied. If you're not, they will fix it. I am definitely returning for a pedicure. **If you pay with your card, they will charge you $1. (just a heads up) read more

I got ripped off the sign says $23+ for acrylics but they charged me $35 for a simple color and medium length nails also one of the workers filed my acrylic to the point where it reached my actual nail and it almost started bleeding read more

I found this place on yelp. Need a pedicure near by and when I called Lily was so friendly she just had happy energy. Best pedicure ever!!

Great service and facility! My GF and I walked in without an appointment and we were seated within 5 minutes. Their prices are very reasonable and my manicure was possibly one of the best ever, more so when considering cost. The employees know what they are doing and are good at what they do. They give lots of attention to detail and it shows during and after the service. There was little conversation due to the language barrier but none of the uncomfortable back and forth between employees followed by the smarmy smiles and awkward comments we all know and love. They are very professional but not stiff. My manicurist did have a good sense of humor when we did speak. This is our new go to place and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family and the Yelp community. read more

So my nails came out ok, kinda uneven, but this place is unsanitary. While she was doing my nails she squished a fly with her hand and continued working on me. After another customer left an employee just rinsed and wiped the foot bath area with water and a rag, no cleanser. The tools didn't seem clean either. I wouldn't come back. read more
