Amazing service! Joan and Ammy were fantastic. They used innovative techniques that made my nails look amazing. Their attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. I love the results and will definitely be coming back!

I had such a great experience at La Brea Nails. The ladies there are sweethearts. I got the Cat Eye gel manicure and Milk Honey pedicure package. The mimosas, massages and aroma therapy made it truly feel like a spa experience. If you want to treat yourself with a relaxing time while getting your nails done, I'd recommend you give this place a try. I'm satisfied with both the level of care and detail they provided me.

I was a walk in and they served me so well! I went in for a manicure and I left getting a stellar manicure but also used their waxing services. Everyone was so nice, the shop was so clean. They have tons of color options and offered me a complimentary drink, I was there in the morning so I chose a Vietnamese coffee and it was so good! I will definitely be back

Joanne was so awesome and I loved how my nails turned out. I called an hour before closing to see if I could be seen and she was able to get me in. She was attentive and kind throughout the whole service. I would totally go back again.

Janina ..

Worst nail experience I have ever had . My nails turned out horrible . He offered to take off the charge of cat eye . But I should have got a full refund . The service wasn't great. He did my nails so fast and I told him I wasn't in a rush and he said he just did nails fast. It was just all a bad experience. I also take clients there and I will no longer bring my clients there .

Beautiful pedi spa treatment!

Lots of options and great treatment. Nice atmosphere and a complimentary drink too! My toes came out great and I'm relaxed.

I even got a free mimosa

Amazing service the girls here are so nice and friendly. I came to get a pedicure last week and had to come back again for a manicure because they're just that good! Emmy is the best!! Highly recommend!!

French tip gel x nails

The customer service was great and I am in love with my nails! Would definitely recommend

I am absolutely delighted with my new set of nails today! Emily was incredibly professional and witty, and Emmy took excellent care of me during my pedicure; I felt completely relaxed after a tiring day at work. I am extremely pleased with the recent changes at La Brea Nails, and I will definitely be recommending them to everyone. Thanks!

I found this place a month ago by chance as my usual nail salon had been over booked. At LA brea nails, I was greeted by the owner and his staff, luck would have it I was seated with the new owner Jimmi. He immediately began the process and took time with his work on my acrylics. They have a large variety of shades, gels, powders and additional services to be added if needed. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the owner made me feel pampered with his patience and attention to detail. I will never go back to my old tech as I had started to feel their work was getting sloppy as time went I just didn't feel like an important or special customer but a job. This salon treats every customer special regardless of money spent or services. Best quality care and service hands down. This place is the best! Jimmi, thank you again for providing your very best everytime!

Amazing service this is my third time coming to them and they always give me what I want. Especially design wise, it's hard finding a place that can create a similar design. I asked for a Halloween design with ghosts, showed a photo for reference and it came out so cute. Highly recommend this place! Very happy with the service! Will be continuing to go

Jimmy what happened to your smile & customer service & skill? My daughter & I are so disappointed. The stripe on my ring finger should have been vertical which is what I wanted but you didn't ask you just painted. And the shape of my nails look terrible nothing like the way you did them before. As for my daughter she is just too disappointed nothing like the pic she showed you. Sigh oh well need a new nail place.

Ellen is truly phenomenal! Every single time, she completely delivered! Actually-- she did even better than my inspo photos! She's super meticulous from start to finish, and really listens to what you're wanting!

Update: The owner…read moredid sincerely apologize after I sent her a photo of my thumb infected with pus underneath. I would have loved a sincere apology from Ellen but at least the owner seemed apologetic for my horrific experience. I will not be returning because I am not risking getting my cuticles cut and infected a third time. I hope they will learn from this and be more careful in the sensitive parts of a client's nails. ------------ Unfortunately I did not want to write this review but after receiving such a nonchalant response from the owner and nail artist themselves, I feel like it is my responsibility to write an honest review about my experience here. I had such a wonderful experience getting my nails done in Korea so I wanted to look up a place that offered Korean style nails. I found purrple nails which was conveniently located near me with a staff filled of Korean artists. My first experience was with Soo and she did fine I guess. I like that she was detailed about her design but she did cut my cuticle once and was very rough with drilling. For those who don't know, drilling gets hot and the artist should know to lift it every few seconds to not burn the person's skin. Because I liked the design so much, I made a second appointment to give another artist a try. This second appointment was with Ellen. She was sooo rough when it came down to removing the polish and cleaning and cutting the cuticles. One of my cuticles started bleeding a lot and she just used the dust to stop the bleeding but did not apologize once. I let it go. But after getting home, I noticed my cuticles and fingers were so tender and red. I decided to let time heal but it's been a week and my right thumb is still swollen and tender. It's painful to touch. I told the owner and Ellen and after some back and forth, they finally did apologize. However it left kind of a sour taste in my mouth because it just seemed like they brushed it off thinking 10 percent off the next appointment would really make up for the pain I'm having in my finger. Not sure if I will come back. The owner asked me to try another artist but how do I prevent this from happening a third time?

Such a beautiful start to my girls day at EWC!…read more It was sunday and I had planned the entire day of pampering with my bff! We walked into EWC on a whim in the hopes of snagging an eyebrow appointment and was super duper happy we were able to do just that! Since our impromptu appointments were back to back, we shared a room and were both treated by the lovely Leticia. First up was me, I laid on the table and told her I just wanted things cleaned up and she immediately got to work. 3 minutes later and I looked a bit more polished and pristine with my clean eyebrows. Then she took care of my bff who added on an upper lip wax. We both were super happy with our results. Leticia was amazing and super knowledgable! This girl knew her stuff and she is beloved as well (we noticed someone a little bummed that they couldn't get an appointment with her...so you know she's just that good) she told us how to properly fill in our brows and little factoids about our arches. We all laughed and had a ball for the 20 minutes we got our waxes. Lovely little experience at EWC! Friends who wax together, stay friends forever!

Very bad place to go in never come back again they have very bad customer service and so rude I…read moredon't recommend this place at all.

Crystal is very reliable, her services are excellent, and her prices are very reasonable. As others have said, Crystal normalizes the entire experience of waxing, which, let's face it, can feel pretty awkward. Crystal is a professional and makes every effort to reduce the pain, checking in throughout the process. With time, I've had body parts waxed that I was initially too embarrassed to admit needed waxing. For example, my nose. Haha! The best part is that I have definitely seen a reduction in hair regrowth, especially on my legs, because of waxing. Yay!!! Setting up appointments is easy and wait times are short. The shop is adorable, just like Crystal! It is clean and inviting. Abundant parking is available. I highly recommend Wax Off and Crystal - you will not be disappointed!

This was the first time for me getting my under armpit done, and it was pretty quick. It didn't hurt and it sure beats shaving LOL. I got my Brazilian that I desperately needed #FACTS... And its never a disappointment. The wax is always HOT and ready to go, it doesn't hurt and you feel so smooth after! BEST FEELING EVER!! I haven't been back in almost a year ya'll, so it was time. I only booked a Brazilian and asked if i could add in the armpits, Crystal accommodated my request and always goes out of her way to make sure you get what you need done! Thank you for being so professional, understanding and accommodating. I will be sure to come back every 21 days! Until next time, see you sooner than later!!

I have been on a journey with my skin for years, and I've tried so many different things to achieve the results I've been wanting for the past 20 years. Prices are very reasonable also. Through a series of facials and chemicals peels, pilar has achieved the results I've been dreaming about. Look at my before pictures and after pictures. My confidence has never been so high, and I actually look at people in the eyes now. Pilar offers so many different treatments, which is so refreshing. I'm very picky with my face, and when it comes to pilar, I trust her with my life. Pictures are raw and not filtered. They speak for itself. Thank you vital touch - Pilar
