I've been coming to Le V Nails quite regularly, which is why I'm disappointed to leave this review. The first time this happened, a couple of older auntie employees were loudly watching videos on their phones and eating nuts while customers were trying to relax. I tried to give the salon the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was a one-time situation. Unfortunately, on my most recent visit, the exact same thing happened again. A couple of older auntie employees including the owner/manager, were loudly watching videos on their phones, yelling across the salon to each other, and eating pumpkin seeds throughout my appointment. The constant cracking of the seeds, loud videos, and shouting made the environment anything but relaxing. I've overlooked the limited nail color selection because I've otherwise enjoyed coming here, but experiencing this twice was enough for me. A nail salon should feel calm and professional, and unfortunately that wasn't the case. As a regular customer, I'm disappointed to say I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I came here maybe a little over a month ago (Feb 28 since the owner replied and wants to check the cameras) for a mani/pedi. The ladies doing my nails were super nice and I have no complaints about the process or initial work done. My issue came when I went to pay. I used card and they combined both the nails and toes into the final charge which makes sense. I started to fill out the receipt and left a 20% tip on the total. The nail tech came up and asked me if the tip I left was for each person. And I tried to explain that it would be split between them both. She then asked if I could do the 20% of the total for each nail tech. Major mouth drop from me - I've never had someone ask me to tip them more. I'll give it to her that it was bold ... but it felt like she was bullying me to get more money out of me. 20% on the total is a great tip and I feel like it should be up to the salon/business on how they want to split that between the two techs. Otherwise, maybe charge me for each service separately- although that seems like a pain ... Following that I went home and my toenail had already chipped read more

Got my Mani and Pedi done. Nail tech did absolutely amazing work on mine. Definitely recommend them for you nail needs.

The place is clean and ladies do a great job. I have a bad back so I get pedicures and even provide a small foot massage. Im a guy and feel very comfortable. The girls are good, beautiful and always with a smile. I highly recommend having your work done here! Pat read more

BUYER BEWARE: I'd like to begin by saying I really didn't want to leave a review like this. Business is not for the weak: However, we work hard and we are respectable and no human should be treated with this level of disrespect, disregard, and lapse of Integrity: Therefore I decided to review you based on treatment and the vast difference in your customer service, as well as principle and integrity. I'd be absolutely wrong not to. See something say something! This day really soured me from going to another one of these type of establishments. I really do not go anymore, but wanted and experience with a family member so went along! My Experience: here we go! Greeting customers 0 non existent Eye contact 0. None Understand English 0. She had no idea Communication. 0. None Vibe. FLAT. 0. Nothing QUALITY. 0. Zero Paid way too much shdve stuck to the us We had 2 SPECIALTY SERVICE PEDICURE W/GEL POLISH....pricey! Once seated, the "flies" in the rear were buzzing! Air was stagnant. No fans going in rear where we were seated. THE female working on me went somewhere and to get the dingy-est white/grey towels for our services: then "she's running the bowl water " and I'm scrolling sitting back to relax and felt HER HIT my RIGHT ARCH ON MY foot AND LOOKED to see a blackish brown bug KILLED ON MY FOOT! SHE THREW IT IN TRASH AND KEPT WORKING. IM PUZZLED was it in these towels, or in the bowl? SMH trying to keep a positive attitude and calmness. I sat there. IM PANICKING inside and to my family member. like I know that isn't what it appeared to be to me! I'm asking - the 3 females spoke in another language kept heads down working. *Meanwhile NEXT the bowl OVERFLOWS!!!! Water everywhere!!!! They get more dingy towels with holes this time to clean it. Our shoes sat in a water puddle til the end! Until I found a towel and dried them Off *Back to the experience - this one female came in the one working on my family member rushed so fast she didn't put her shoes in reach and let arms up on spa chair and my family member needed help! She was working on this other lady smiling n speaking English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in awe Next they go get the whitest towels in the building and also gathers a replica of a Dyson Cool Tower fan and aims it at this ONE female and 4 were hot in the back of their building attaining services. They were very engaged with the one female only! I felt many emotions most of all I wanted to leave but my family member wanted to treat me to this place as she enjoyed it prior to this day! My family member waited in front by door as my pedi came to a close, and we catch one another's eye and a bigger version of "THE BUG FAMILY" is crawling slowly across the floor! Reassuring me what was on me, and killed on my right arch!!!!!! She went out and I hurried to leave. No one ever acknowledged anything that happened to me; and mgmt never came apologized for the bug(s), flies, & there was even bumblebees in the salon!!!! SO MUCH I COULD SAY HERE BUT I WONT. JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER DUARTIANS Be Well Be kind Have integrity Remember; We are all human beings Excuse typos in advance. You're welcome business owner read more

Service was good before, but the last time I went a week ago with my mom, the older lady kept telling my mom she didn't have an ingrown nail but we have went here before and other workers assisted her with the ingrown big toe nail. My mom tried her best to tell the situation but the worker kept insisting there was nothing to cut. Right now, she is in pain and another salon assisted. I did not like the way the worker talked to my mom to just let her cut her nail and my mom seemed a little sad since she is not one to speak out but she did say she feels the ingrown still. Wish for the customer service to improve. There was another mother and daughter getting their nails done and they said that the workers were in a rush. I saw they were a little rude to the workers but I feel the worker should have acknowledged my moms ingrown and not tell her theres nothing to cut and to let her just cut her nails Based on the manager's response, we are real customers and came on a Wednesday afternoon 4 pm. Please respect the customers. read more

Love this place! Came in for a manicure and pedicure, ended up getting the hard gel manicure. They did an amazing job. The owner came around also to ask if everything was going well, which shows she is attentive. The place gives the relaxing vibe that I need. I didn't review after this great experience, I wanted to see how my second visit would go. They lived up to my expectations the second time also. This is my new go to place and high recommend their services. read more

I have only GOOD things to say about Tran and her business. I have been going to Le V Nails for approximately 1.5 years, and I have always been given amazing service. Everyone is nice, professional, and greets me with a smile when I walk in. That is partly due to the fact that I treat them all with respect as well. Tran is incredible at nails, and she trains her employees to do the same. She has very high standards. If you ask Tran politely to fix an issue you have with a nail or service, she will handle it. No need to cause a dramatic scene! Time and again I see customers being so rude to the employees - for no reason! Don't go in there and be a b*tch, then expect them to not feel uncomfortable afterwards. Treat them like humans, not your servant. Everyone I have had assist me there in 1.5 years has been very nice, apologetic if something hurts for second, try to fix anything that I kindly ask them to fix, etc. Please give grace to other humans who are at work. In my experience, they all do their best! I have tried other salons closer to where I have lived, and they never add up! I return to Le V Nails every time! I will continue giving them my business. read more

I have always had excellent service and I always get complements on my nails. Tran always fits me in even if I forget to make an appointment. Everyone there does a great job. My sister and daughter have been coming for a long time now. Great service! read more

pretty salon and somewhat friendly service but 2 stars is because my mom's acrylic nails lifted and split only a week later!! looks clearly that the natural nail isnt stuck to the acrylic . this can cause fungus by water being trapped in between . waste of money and time ar the salon read more

As a man its been hard to find a salon with great service, quality materials and talented techs to get a pedicure. On top of skillset and customer service, there is a sort of charm and comforting aura that takes away the noises of the world. The atmosphere and caring mindset of the employees puts it over the top. Big props to the owner for a job well done. read more

Service: 5/5 Vibe check: 5/5 Quality: 5/5 Been here several times already with my S.O since the new ownership took place and it has always been a positive experience. The new store owner Tran makes you feel welcomed and the team there is incredibly friendly. They remodeled the place so it has a contemporary look that feels refreshing and added a lot more entertainment features to make things interesting while customers wait/have service done (televisions, speakers, LED lighting, and so on). I regularly have eyebrow waxing done here and the entire process is seamless. It's done in a timely manner and always comes out amazing. You really can't complain with the quality of work and efficiency here as they nail the job every single time. As for nails, they offer an extensive variety of designs, colors, and styles that can accommodate any customer looking to try something new or have work done there. Give this place a try and I'm sure you will love the experience just as I did. And don't be afraid to chat with the team there as they want the utmost best experience for their customers and it would also behoove you to do so. P.s I'm also a fan of the complimentary snacks/beverages they offer there as well read more

Very good service with my classic pedicure. Gentle but thorough. I will definitely be back

I was going to go somewhere else but they were closed. So I called Le V hoping for a last minute manicure. This was at 6:30 and they closed at 8. "Of course! It's still early!" Everyone was sweet and gentle, even if they struggled a little with English. The kindness and service is what's important to me. All I wanted was dip on my natural nail. There was an issue so we switched to acrylic on my natural nail. Perfect :) read more

Le V Nails - Acrylic on natural nail. Sparking plum gel top. - Nail Salons Near Me - Duarte, California

Updated review: after a day or two I had a nail break off because of my fault for being rough on my nail with the ice maker. I went in to get one nail fixed and i was in there for over an hour !!! I broke it so i offered to pay. Tran took care of it but what i noticed was that it was not was not consistent from the original work. Nail was not smooth and visible two layers of uneven gel polish. The nail was visibly different from the rest. After a couple days i had 2 nails fly off and started noticing the acrylics were put way to thin and the tips too close to the top and my nails were short. I have NEVER had nails just fly off like that. This was poor work. Since then i have had 5 fly off within the first week of having them. Original review: I just wanted to shout out california nails!! its now been taken under new management. I just had my full set from Tran. She was amazing, she makes customers feel seen. i usually come here and just have an airpod in and am listening to music but Tran made me feel engaged in her work and business. I highly recommend calling ahead to see availability or making an appointment. Even if you need to wait a couple minutes theres a boba tea next door as well as a target ;) read more

I love this salon which i feel very comfortable everytime i visit. They do the best job and always take time. I recommend Le V Nails

I really liked the way Sam did my nails except that I had asked him to cut them very short and he didn't listen to me. he left them very long, so that when I got home I had to cut and file them way down. It seems that maybe he didn't understand me or hear me. My nails looked beautiful though, if you like them long. read more

The pricing at this place is super reasonable for the services they provide! I got a gel manicure and removed my old Japanese gel. It took awhile for them to remove my old extension pieces but they were really patient and didn't charge me extra for removal. My gel manicure including removal was $25. They charge $1 for credit card transaction fee. I got my nails done for just $26!! The lady who helped me, Nguyen was really patient with me when I was picking my color. She let me try on like 8 colors before I decided on which one I wanted. She did a great job with filing, shaping, and coloring my fingernails. Definitely recommend! Only minus one star for overall cleanliness for the salon. I feel like hygiene could be upped a bit. read more
