Gel pedicure with french tip

First, she filed my nails shorter than i wanted. On top of that, she made my nails very uneven and crooked ! Now i gotta grow them out again so i can fix them elsewhere. Second, The sample nails they give you so you can decide what color you want, are very inaccurate. I finally settled after changing the color like 3 times but still unhappy about it. Online it says they close at 8 but they closed at 7 when i was there. Definitely not worth $50..

It says Waxing!

First of all the lady in front was rude its a clear sign that says waxing and I walked in asking for eyebrows and she quickly said no. I didn't like the vibe at all. I never leave reviews but that pissed me off. Don't waste your time going somewhere that turns business away.

Sooooo purdy.

Michelle or Lucy are my favorites. They really pay attention to detail. I use "Silk Wrap". Not may shops even know what it is. Their prices are GREAT! You won't be disappointed

This is what happened after taking off my nails don't go here!!!!!

I came here about a week ago to do my nails for prom and they did them awful!! They have really rude customer service and not highly recommend don't go here!!!

This place was pretty vacant when I went here. Only one older blk lady getting her nails done. I tried to get my brows done but the lady wasn't there. I would say call ahead of time if your coming early morning. I will get my brows done here next and update on the quality.

See the toes!!

This is an ok place. It isn't fancy but it isn't overly hood. The staff is nice and it isn't too loud. It is the perfect place for a quick pedi ($12) if they aren't busy. During the week is a good time to come...Saturday...fahgeddaboudit! :-) If you want your eyebrows waxed ($7), go to Michelle only!!!!! The older lady will have you walking around looking surprised in one eye for two weeks!!!!

Love them!!!!

Michelle is the absolute best but she's usually pretty busy so be sure to make an appointment ahead of time.

Tina did my pedicure and she was very meticulous in her cutting and filing. It had been several months and my feet looked like Myra's... IYKYK. She didn't flinch, she handled it well. I can tell that Patsy, the owner, truly wants to make sure you have a satisfactory visit. The vibe gives back-in-the-day nail shop feels. Not luxury but classic. I like it. Some nail salons do wayyyy too much

The first time, I had an appointment and had to wait for 45 minutes before the nail tech I booked with can begin working on me. The second time, I was assured I wouldn't have to wait and would be seen right away. I still had to wait 20 minutes. This final time, I called and asked for an appointment time when the nail tech was actually open and available. I stressed the fact that I could not wait. They assured me she would be available. I show up at said time, and was asked to wait next to booth where she was working. I can see she was still working on a full set. The owner then told me she was just polishing, even though I could see she was not ready to polish yet. I was asked to wait. She then tried to get someone else to do my nails. But I am very picky, so I knew this would be a bad idea. I ended up leaving before I wasted another 30 minutes of my life. Overall, they do a decent job. But if you are in a time crunch and make appointments expecting to be seen on time, expect to be disappointed. This is not good place for people who value appointment times and being on time.

Thank you Aja for my fantastic pedicure. I will be back!!…read more Finally a nail shop where the technicians aren't talking $hit about in your face in a foreign language. Sparking clean shop with a very friendly staff. I was offered a mimosa which I gladly accepted. Located in a strip mall so plenty of parking. They prohibit people from making cell phone calls while being serviced which I appreciated. Hands down the best nail salon I have been to in Los Angeles.

Unexpected Charges and Lack of Transparency…read more I booked my appointment in person on Tuesday 7/15 because I wasn't sure what to select online for Gel-X removal. I trusted the front desk staff to guide me, and was quoted $80 for Gel-X, builder gel removal, and French tip. At my appointment on Friday 7/18, I was unexpectedly charged $110! I was told the card on file couldn't be used for the service--only for late fees or no-shows--which made no sense. If the salon can charge the card for penalties, why not for the actual service being provided? This was especially frustrating because the appointment was a gift for a huge accomplishment of mine, from my mother, so of course I didn't have the physical card with me. On top of that I was also charged extra for nail length without warning, and billed twice for polish: $20 for gel color and $15 for French tip, even though I only received 1 design; french tip. When I asked for clarification, staff just pointed to the online pricing--but I booked in person to avoid that confusion. The experience felt misleading. I intentionally came in person to avoid confusion and relied on the staff to guide me accurately. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I would not recommend this salon to anyone. If you're considering booking here, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for more transparent and customer-friendly service.

I was looking for a nail salon that was affordable in the area. Looking at the pictures on yelp, I…read morethought that NAILD was a cute & hip shop super close to my place. It's a small shop located in the same complex as Marshals and CVS so there is lots of parking. The shop is appointment only so make sure to make one in advance! I was able to text them and got a reply really quickly. When I walked in, there were already three customers getting their nails done, so they seemed confused as to why I was there. I was a little sad because in past reviews it said they offer you mimosas, champagne, or tea, and I wasn't asked for a drink. Not a deal breaker, but I had expectations from previous reviews. They offer tons of different services, but I opted for the Treat Yo Self mani pedi which is $53, $64 with tip. The salon itself is clean, and the decor is cute and minimal. They have pictures on the wall with cute quotes, and the chairs are wooden seats. They bring water basins to your seat if you're getting a pedicure which was very cute! Taylor did my feet, while Maile joined later to do my nails. The Treat Yo Self Mani comes with a homemade lemon scrub and massage. My feet were really dry, so I hoped they would get off all the dead skin. I love the shape of my nails, and they did spend a lot of time massaging and cleaning. However, I think that it wasn't worth the $53. I'd rather opt for the regular mani pedi for $40 instead. They have a $3 credit card/debit card charge, but they waived the fee for me since it was my first time! Overall a good experience, I'd be back for the basic services. They also have a stamp card, once you fill it up you can get a free manicure or half off gel nails.

I absolutely love this nail spa! It's quite different from anything I've ever experienced and far…read morefrom the standard. It's very spacious with an industrial style flooring. They have large individual chairs with plenty of space from other customers so you can enjoy a real personal experience. They offer you complimentary herbal tea or a mimosa, which is a great compliment to an already relaxing experience. The music is bomb! Super chill soul & neo soul music, which adds to the cool, down-to-earth vibes. The owners are a mother/daughter duo, Kat & Kirsten. They are very nice and professional as is the rest of the team. They have a large selection of quality colors, and they offer deluxe mani and pedicures that include this amazing custom made lemon sugar scrub. You leave here with fabulous nails, feeling pampered to the max! An overall awesome experience. *Service is by Appointment only*

Unfortunately, the experience was anything but relaxing. The nail tech repeatedly massaged the tops of my feet and legs extremely hard, even after I politely asked multiple times for her to be gentler and instead focus on the bottoms of my feet and my calves. I eventually explained to another employee that I have fibromyalgia, and when my pain is triggered it can affect my entire body. Although this was apparently relayed to the nail tech, she only adjusted her pressure briefly before returning to being rough again. To make matters worse, the pedicure water was cold. When I asked if hotter water could be added, the technician seemed irritated and reluctantly brought over water from an electric kettle. I was honestly surprised the foot tubs did not have proper hot water access built in. The massage chairs were outdated and barely functioning, which added to the disappointment. This was the Friday before Mother's Day, and I simply wanted to treat myself to a peaceful, calming pedicure. Instead, I left stressed, uncomfortable, and physically hurting. When I paid, the gentleman at the front asked about my experience and brought over a woman I believe was part of management. Her solution was to suggest that I "call ahead next time" and request someone less rough. That response felt dismissive considering I had already voiced my concerns multiple times during the service. Overall, I felt unheard, uncomfortable, and disappointed by both the service and the lack of care shown when concerns were raised. I will not be returning.
