I walked in at 10am on the dot to ask for a soak-off and was refused service because they're too busy (only 2 customers at the time) . I literally could've waited, no problem! I just needed them to remove my old gel. I assume they didn't want to help me because my service would've been too cheap. That is totally fair. She could have asked me to make an appointment next time, or told me to wait until they were less busy. But what I experienced was extremely embarrassing. When she asked what I wanted and I said a soak off, she said, VERBATIM, "We're too busy" and walked away from me while everyone else in the salon just stared at me. It was awkward and disrespectful. The lady was awful. I understand she has to pick which services would benefit her business best, and a soak off was not worth it to her. But what was the point in walking away, turning her nose up, not looking at me anymore as I stood there? I literally went back to my car to cry. That was humiliating. Because Lee's Nails & Spa refused my simple request, I went to another salon named Helen's Nails & Spa on Leffingwell road. Helen had 3 customers and still gave me 10 minutes of her time to do my soak off. Helen was so sweet to me, I tipped her 100%. Helen earned $20 on a gel soak off, which Lee's could have had done for me if they weren't so stuck up. Go to Helen's Nails & Spa instead! read more

Accommodating on scheduling appointments. Extremely friendly, clean and professional. Highly recommend extra time for foot massage after pedicure! read more

The best service! Elaine and team are efficient, thorough, and very personable. To the entitled reviewers who were so "offended" and "went to their car to cry because they were so humiliated" by being told they did not have time for them, there are plenty of nail salons in the area that will take walk-ins. If they don't look busy and cannot service you, it is because their regular customers make appointments. Who walks in to their hair salon and expects immediate service?? Or dog grooming or any number of service establishments? Great salon, excellent work, and THE BEST foot and leg massages. read more

I've been going to Lee's Nails for a few years now. I come here to get my pedicure with Elaine, and she always does a great job. She's so friendly, sweet, and takes the time on the service; and just getting to know her customers. She's also so accommodating and flexible if I ever needed to re-schedule my service due to conflicting schedule or any changes. I don't live close by, but I'm always willing to make the drive here. I definitely recommend this nail salon. read more

Super great neighborhood nail salon. The ladies here are super nice and careful with their work. Lee is exceptional. She's great and very hardworking. She wants you to have a good experience. The prices here are super reasonable. If you like OPI and Essie, you may want to bring your own polishes. Otherwise they have a large selection of gel and traditional polishes. The salon gets busy, so try to get an appointment if you don't want to wait. read more

Lee's Nails & Spa - Nail Technicians Near Me - Whittier, California

Came in on a Thursday at 11:30ish for a pedicure. They sat me down almost immediately and let me feet soak for about 15 minutes while one of the two ladies working ran around waxing eyebrows and finishing other customers. She was pleasant and efficient with my pedicure. No bells or whistles. She didn't ask if I wanted any extras. Just a straight to the point pedicure. It looks good. They just need more help. read more

I've been here a few times before Covid.y experience was ok. My nails looked great but they dont really cater to children or young kids. I took my daughter a few times and they didnt really do much to appease her excitement. Didnt even clean her feet or give her a fun experience so I havent returned. They just polished her nails and didnt make eye contact with her. The owner is friendly and they are ok for nails. If you want your princess to be treated like a princess might wanna find a different place. read more

It was my first time to try this place and I loved my experience. Elaine, the owner did my eyebrow, mani gel and regular pedi perfectly. The service is superb. She took her time giving me massage on my legs and feet. The place is spacious just perfect for social distancing. It is super clean and organize. They take your temperature. All staff and clients wore mask. Their price is reasonable. Cheaper than the nail salon I used to go in Greenleaf. I will be coming back for sure! Highly recommended! read more

Lee's Nails & Spa - Pink powder fill with light glitter - Nail Technicians Near Me - Whittier, California

Messy application. The nails look like they are a month old. Never had such ugly nails done at a salon. Never going back. Most of the application was crooked and when I got home, I had to cut off excess gel that gotten on my skin and behind the nail itself. The pictures attached are only 2 days post application. Terrible job. read more

Excellent service as soon as you walk in you are greeted and asked how they can help me. The lady that did my pedicure was very nice didn't forced me to get extra stuff like other places. She wasn't rough on my cuticles like other places either. The only thing to know before you go is that they only take cash since they just opened. She said eventually they will get one. read more

This is Whittier's hidden gem nail salon. Lee, Elaine, and the girls are incredible! Why do i recommend Lees Nail Salon? 1.) best prices in town. 2.) quality manicures/pedicures. 3.) plenty of seats to sit while you are assisted or wait for assistance. 4.) cleanliness... the staff is always cleaning. 5.) variety of colors to chose from. 6.) waxing is top notch 7.) plenty of parking. 8.) hand/foot massage are exquisite and never rushed. 9.) the nail artists are very knowledgeable about nail care and offer plenty of advice. 10.) friendliness... the girls are always making conversation, interacting with guests, and plenty of laughter! Today, I went against my better judgement because a group of friends wanted to go to another salon in the whittier area and i went to along. Never again and 11:00 am I got thee most horrific-rushed-underwhelming manicure of my life.... by 6:00pm I was back at LEES to have them fix the mess the other nail salon made. I told myself never again will I go to another salon besides Lees. Theses girls knows what's up and no where else has better prices. Thank you ladies for being the beat read more

Very clean salon! Welcome walk-ins and lots of gel color selection. Seats are for pedi's are very clean and comfortable. All employees are sweet and never pressure you add extra items to your nails. Tina and Holly are great for acrylic nails. Elian's for pedicures. Ana for gel manicures. They try their best to accommodate appointments since they are more of a walk-in but they will tell you straight up when there is a wait. Become a regular customer and they treat you so well. Highly recommend!! read more

Being new to Whittier I took a chance at a new salon and had a great experience. Called for a same day appointment and was able to get in. They only do appointments at the moment to allow for covid safety protocols. Very clean salon with the plexiglass barrier. Did just a pedicure and Elaine saved my big toenail which I had cracked down the middle from stubbing it a week earlier. THANK YOU ELAINE!! Nice foot massage with the pedicure and nicely shaped nails. I would highly recommend! You have definitely gained a new client! read more

Came in for a gel pedicure and was attended right away, great service and overall very satisfied with how my gel pedicure came out

I was hoping to walk in and get a pedicure after a long shift but when I walked in the lady that asked for a pedicure she wasn't very friendly . She said longer than 30 minutes and I saw the sign they don't accept debit/credit only cash. It would of been nice to have been offered an appointment but it didn't seem as if she was interesting in having my business. Disappointed ... read more

I went to Colorado for my Aunt's wedding and did not have time to get my nails done in California, so I decided to get them done over there. I paid $50 for a full set & they came out terrible! They were way too thick & the paint started to look weird 2 days later. I had bubble looking nails to say the least. Immediately once I was back home from the trip I came here to get my nails fixed! I'm so happy with the job that they did! I've been getting my nails done here for a while & im always pleased with how they look! They also have extremely reasonable prices & the staff is always super sweet. They all work really hard. Guess karma got the best of me for going somewhere else :/ read more

Worst experience ever! The lady that did my sisters nails was super rude. She kept changing the price around on us. She first said one price and at the end she said another.. the lady who do my nail did a very poor job. She did everything in a rush. My nails are proof of it! Will not come here again! Would not recommend it to anyone! Just look at my pictures! If you're gonna pay someone $40 plus tip they would at least do a better job! read more
