I love getting my nails done here on a Sunday morning. Most of the time the manicures and pedicures are terrific and on the off chance I get one I'm not satisfied with, they fix the issue right away. I'm always short on time when I'm here and they always accommodate me. read more

It says walk ins welcome, but... Even though we called in ahead we still were not welcome. My Mom lives in the neighborhood, & this is usually her go to when she needs a mani pedi. My Mom is immune compromised due to chemo. If you are immune compromised this is not the place for you! They do not use clean instruments. Or files. Everything is just sitting in the trays in their carts. Never did I see them open a sterile package with tools. At least the women who did my moms Mani pedi were nice. The ones that did mine acted like they were mad. Maybe mad why they had to fit us in? I don't know but it was obvious they were mad. Very unfriendly & kept speaking to one another in their language like they were pissed off. Especially the woman who did my toes. Manhandling & she even cut me, and waited until the very end of the pedicure to say sorry. The cut hurt! And she even needed to get up to get disinfectant & acted even more mad. She also stopped with the nippers after so the pedicure was terrible. One of my Big toes with the gel is all lumpy too. Luckily I have muiprocin at home, it's an anti staph ointment to rub my toes down with, otherwise I'd be really worried about infection. I feel like if she wasn't so mad she probably would not have cut me, & maybe done a better job? I only gave two stars because we were previously happy here in the past. Otherwise would be a one star. This was not my first time here with my Mom, & we were beyond disappointed. It was definitely our last.. read more

Splotchy and uneven, with cotton stuck under the polish under some of the nails. I don't understand how as a manicurist you see these things and just ignore it? It also took a whole hour just for a manicure. Very weird at the end because the lady who did my manicure took my card, swiped it without even showing me the total, then SIGNED THE SIGNATURE FOR ME. Isn't that fraud? I went back inside and they offered to fix it and give me a discount for the fix. They should've offered a refund. read more

Karen's Nail just went through the whole renovation, so everything is new, bright and so nice including massage chairs in pedicure spots. I come here every 3 weeks to do jell nails and pedi and everyone is very friendly and good at what they do. Highly recommend! read more

Love Karen's nails. So attentive and with staff who get to know their clients. The waxing services are also excellent.

Almost always can take you as a walk in! No frills but always good service and clean. Great place to get a manicure and a pedicure and convenient parking on the street or on the side streets. read more

In and out quickly and always take walk ins. Nothing too fancy but good for basic manis and gel manis.

Probably worst nail experience. My nail tech rushed to take my nails off and was mad I didn't already have a color picked out. She's super impatient. As soon as she wraps my old gel, she removes them and scrapes my nails hard. While painting the nails, her gloves kept touching other fingers and when I would point out she'd have to repaint them, she would huff and roll her eyes. 2 fingers have black faint hair dust because of how uncareful she was. Never-mind the fact that my nails aren't straight w rounded edges and nails have so many air bubbles. Will never be back. read more

First time here and very disappointed, I came in for gel X and the polish of my nail was horrible on top of that the manicurist was named Angie and she kept giving me attitude and aggressive with my hands and when I told her I was not happy with my set she said don't worry about it no one will notice. If I'm paying for the service I want what I want and to say that to someone is like unbelievable I will never spend my money on this place again oh and to "fix" the issue I got a $10 discount I don't want a discount I want nice painted nails not a freaking discount I'll pay whatever you want but I want my nice nails and not be told don't worry no one is going to see it terrible customer service!!!! Wish I never came here!! Oh and my nails have many air bubbles ! read more

In town for vacation and stopped here for a bit of indulgence. Very satisfied with the prices and service. Glad I found this spot!

Really nice place and atmosphere. Each of the manicurist are skilled and friendly. The polishes they use are very good quality. I, my daughters and granddaughters all place it as our favorites go to now. read more

I have been coming here for the last four years. When Karen owned it it was run very efficiently and always busy. The new owner renovated and it's really nice but every time I've made an appointment my Manicurist isn't here and no one calls to tell me and I drive a little ways to get here it happened again today and the owner took no responsibility And it's never busy. Not sure I'll be back. read more

Best nail salon! Very clean & professional! Karen is the hardest working female I can remember meeting! Bravo for taking Covid so seriously! I rate this a tenplus! read more

I have been coming here my whole life and usually enjoy getting my nails done. The last time I went, She cut my nail so bad it was bleeding a lot. She also did not do the color I asked for. When I told her to fix it, she told me it didn't look good and continued to do the same color. I'm very disappointed and will not be coming back. She didn't even clean up the french tip and it was very un even. Very un happy with the service. read more

Stumbled upon this place because I was getting my car fixed at the Pep Boys across the street and needed time to kill. They accept walk ins and I came in close to 6PM. They accept card, however, tips are only accepted in cash. I was greeted very cheerfully and was seated right away to get my nails done by Lin (I apologize in advance if I misspelled the name). This is actually only my second time getting my nails done so I'm not too picky and wanted something simple, plus came on a whim, but I am so happy with how my nails turned out! I asked for coffin style in this length. Lin was thorough and had good attention to detail, made sure it fit right, was the same length, smoothed out, etc. I also had to step out for about a 10 minutes to get my car from Pep Boys, where I felt bad, and on top of finding out they closed at 7PM (I had asked out curiosity), but Lin was understanding and even explained to me best places to park. I was still one of the last ones out of there past 7PM and Lin was still making sure my nails were looking great! So reasonably price too at $35 for acrylics (I think that is what I got). Exceptional customer service and cheerful staff! I will probably be back and request for Lin for simple acrylics! read more

I can't believe I just found this salon after I moved to OC. This place is a true gem! I called 10 mins before I showed up - they accept walk ins and card payment. Parking was super easy to find during traffic hour. I asked for Gel X - the application was perfect, the nail technician was super friendly and knew exactly what she was doing. Perfect shape and gel color application. And I am super picky about my almond shape nails. I love all the color options they have too! Every time I'm in the area I will always make sure to come back and support this business. read more

I have gone to dozens of nail salons in LA over the years and Karen is by far the best. My dip manicures last 3-4 weeks and don't chip or peel at all. Karen is SO kind and all of her employees seem happy to work there. Her prices are also very reasonable!! 10/10 recommend coming here you will be hooked. read more

Karen's Nails - A hand with a manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After going to Karen's Nails for a few years now, I was very hesitant to leave this review as I mostly have had positive experiences. However, I received a pedicure last weekend that led to an infection. The nail tech was so aggressive, especially with my ingrown nails. I was bleeding and it was obvious I was in pain. Two days later I went to the doctor because I was still in pain and could barely walk when wearing shoes. They confirmed it was infected, gave me a tetanus shot and put me on antibiotics. They also said I have to soak my foot in a mixture of iodine and warm water 3-4 times a day. I now have to cancel a ski trip this weekend because it still hurts to walk with shoes on. I'm extremely disappointed since this is a salon I've been to many times and I won't be returning in the future. read more

Excellent, actually exceeded my expectations. Very nice lady. Very excellent Mani Pedi . I'll be back.

Karen is the kindest. I walked over after dropping my car off at pep-boys, and she sat me down right away. Regardless of the fact they didn't open for 15 more minutes. They got busy pretty quickly and you could tell half of them were regulars. My nails look lovely and you can tell Karen takes pride in her work! read more

My nails are always done perfectly. Thanks to Karen and all of the other nail techs here.

Prices higher, quality lower. Been coming here for a year and half and this was the first time I walked away disappointed:( Quality was not what it use to be. And prices went up. I understand it's inflation related to have higher prices but the quality should stay the same. read more

One thing i truly hate is a nail tech being lazy and cutting corners on coffin nails. Also it's off white so one nail looking more transparent than the other doesn't cut it for me. One more thing make sure all nails are straight. OMG and they had me like a pretzel doing my nails and toes on a chair that isn't meant for pedicures. Nails were 70+ If you want quality shaped nails go elsewhere:( i'm so sad guess i gotta go to the girls stationed at home who guarantee quality. Some may be okay with this but not me shaping is very important when you're going for one solid color. read more

Quality pedicure and manicure. Pleasant atmosphere. Competitive prices. I had Karen for my pedicure - very professional.

Been going here for years. Quality work, can make appointments (although you still may have to wait a little bit). If you accidentally mess up your mail while drying, they will fix it. Good vibe. read more

Another perfect gel acrylic mani by Karen! She's great and really cares about giving exceptional service. This is my 2nd time here and I'm officially sold. She's also very knowledgeable about general nail care. The gel pedicure was great too-- I don't remember the name or the specialist. Make sure you bring cash for tip!!!!! read more
