Wow, do not go to this place. The boss lady "Lien" didn't even listen to what I wanted--she just started applying what she thought was best. When I told her it wasn't the color or design I asked for, she said, "It'll look better later." But it didn't--at all. She also failed to mention there would be extra charges for additional layers, and in the end, I was charged $50 for a color I hated and nails that were honestly poor quality. Her attitude was very forceful and dismissive. She doesn't care to hear feedback or concerns from clients. The hygiene in the salon was terrible--nail dust and polish splatters were everywhere. * The place is sloppy and unsanitary * She over-shaved my nail bed and added extra layers without consent or final pricing * She doesn't listen to clients and just does whatever she wants * If you're unhappy and ask for help, she won't care at all I highly do not recommend this salon--not just because of the money, but because of how I was treated. I feel totally scammed and honestly upset every time I look at my nails. So disappointing.
I came for a manicure, not a medical evaluation and unsolicited body shaming Where do I even start? I came in for a dip powder manicure and a pedicure. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, apparently not. The only person working was the owner, and from the moment I sat down, things got... weird. She looked at my hands and immediately asked if I had eczema. I told her no, but she insisted I do, and that it explains "why my fingers look the way they do." I wasn't aware she had a dermatology degree hanging in the back, but okay, sure. I tried to brush it off. Then it got worse. She grabbed cuticle scissors and began removing what felt like an entire layer of skin from my fingers. I asked her why, and she again said it was because of my "eczema" and that "no other salon would do what I'm doing for you" as if removing my skin was a favor. Still, I stayed hopeful. I asked for short, square-shaped nails with a rounded edge, natural-looking and thin, not thick or bubbly. What I got was the exact opposite. The shape was off, they looked bulky and uneven, and the work was just plain sloppy (I have photos). And just when I thought I could leave quietly, she walked me to the back to wash my hands, casually tossed her leftover lunch in the trash... then asked how much I weigh. Yes, you read that right. She then told me I look like I'm "holding a lot of water weight," and reassured me that I'm not fat, because she weighs 104 lbs. I couldn't make this up if I tried. If all that wasn't bad enough, when I asked for my total, she said it was $55 plus $15 for, apparently, her generous service of removing a layer of my skin. A true bargain for unexpected dermatological work, right? I didn't come to a nail salon to be misdiagnosed, exfoliated into rawness, or body-shamed by someone tossing their lunch in a trash can mid-service. Bottom line: Please do yourself a favor and stay far, far away.
Amazing service and very nice ladies working here. I usually walk in on Sundays and there's mostly always available nail techs ready to help me. My friend and I wanted to get a design and all the ladies were able to help make it happen! The salon is super clean and the decor is nice. I love coming here!
Right when they first opened I started coming for the top notch pedicure service they offer with extra massage which I was very happy after every visit. I recently got Gel-X fill set with manicure and I was super pleased (I showed them an IG photo that had a lot of details). I like that this place has nice furniture and a clean bathroom. There are always very nice scents and she is always staffed well. I usually call ahead and owner is very responsive. I recommend this place for sure.
I planned to visit another salon, but it was closed, so I ended up here. This nail salon is really classy and modern. I adore the marble design. A lovely elderly lady did my nails, and she was very meticulous. However, there was a hair stuck on my thumb. I hesitated to mention it because she was already fixing another finger due to a dust particle. It's disappointing to see the hair/string stuck on the nail. The prices are reasonable, but they were insistent on using gel nail polish instead of regular polish.
This place was 10/10. Customer service was the best and they really work with your needs. I came in for a gel manicure and pedi and they mobilized me right away! They handled both services at once which is always a plus! All staff is super friendly and a joy to be around. Linda really nailed it with my pedicure! Best pedicure! Sam was great on my manicure too! Thank you ladies!! Yall are the best Highly recommended.
I want to start off by saying I really wanted to like this place, the staff is sweet and welcoming and my nail lady tried her best... unfortunately she may be extremely inexperienced as the final result was far from a finished product ... I'd also like to add this was my first time here, and I tried this place since my regular salon in the area was fully booked. I communicated several times I wanted a gel pedi with a pink clear base under the white tip, despite that she still tried to use a pale pink base until her manager helped correct her on this (I was optimistically hoping it was due to the language barrier). When she went in on the French smile lines, the lines were crooked and made my big toe nail look completely circular... her manager stepped in again to set an example to follow yet she was unable to replicate it. The tips she painted were thick, uneven and asymmetrical and in honesty pretty atrocious. After enough attempts I suggested to go with a solid color instead. She managed to paint over the nail beds in addition to curing gel polish onto the top of my foot. She also managed to finish with uncured gel polish all over her hands. Overall it was a pretty stressful event to witness and be a part of and I'll still need my toes done but I'm out for my time wasted and the cost of this service. I personally love supporting small local businesses and leaving positive reviews but this is a situation where I feel an honest review is needed for the technical quality of the work. My daughter who also got a gel pedi with me had a much more pleasant experience though and hers turned out much better. **update** my daughter's pedi is still in really good shape after a week. Lien also called to apologize and offered to redo my pedi personally and I think that's just really great of her to do so.
Lien is probably one of the best nail techs in this area. She is so detailed with her work and I am so happy that I found this nail salon! One of my nails broke and I wanted a quick fix so I called a salon near by- Lien's Nails and was able to schedule a same day appointment. Once I arrived, the ladies here got me situated into their spa chair and started my pedicure right away. The ladies here are friendly and professional at what they do. The salon is also very clean and tidy. Pricing here is fair and reasonable. P.S. Parking is not too difficult and can park on the streets. If you are in the area, I highly recommend coming to Lien's Nails! :)
I went in for an appointment with my cousin. Walk ins are welcome as well. If you can't find parking on the street, there's a parking lot you can park in. Just follow the sign that says Lien's Nails. I love Lien! She is super nice and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable and made great small talk. She seemed happy and sincere. For the nails: I never gotten my nails done before so I didn't know what to expect. Lien has been doing nails for 20 years - so she has a lot of experience. It was so satisfying watching her work on my cuticles and snipping away my dead skin. I can tell that she carries a lot of pride in her work. For the color options, there's only two example books to browse through. Apparently she rotates them, adds new colors, and toss out the old ones. So at least we are getting new polish bottles. I love the way my nails turned out. She left a little bit of nail polish on the skin but I'm fine with that. It's better to have a more even coat than a skimpy one. Also, her hands are STRONG!! She massaged my hands in some sort of oil and that felt good! The cherry on top is Lien frying up some delicious egg rolls for us on the road!!! I never heard of a nail salon providing food before. Drinks, yes, which Lien does carry Vietnamese coffee and water, but never fresh food. She put taro inside the egg rolls!! That is some high quality and generous eggrolls. Please come to Lien's!!
LOVE coming to Lien's!! Lien is always so friendly and welcoming. This is currently my go-to nail spot. I used to go to Pearl Nails down the street but it got way too crowded and packed. Vicky did my gel x manicure and she is amazing! She is so patient, gentle, and kind. You can tell she does her job with extreme care. As for my pedicure, I believe it was Melinda (or Belinda -- sorry!) who helped me. She was very sweet and did a great job as well. I want Lien to do my nails next time but she's always so busy! And Vicky is also a great alternative. Pricing is fair and reasonable. Call in advance to make an appointment. Ample parking in the lot behind the building.
I went to Lien's Nails on 7/11/23 for the first time to kill some time before driving back home. I asked for a "gel pedicure with Barbie pink" and ended up with the color shown in the photo. Definitely NOT Barbie pink. I was skeptical but the owner kept telling me once I go outside the color is going to change to pink with the warm weather. I paid $60 including tip. The nail color NEVER CHANGED. I texted her and she said I can go back to get it fixed. When I returned 8/21/23, the owner was rude, raised her voice, and now said she couldn't do anything to fix the problem. It should have been a simple pedicure with one solid color. FAIL. Do NOT go to this business. They are rude and careless. I will never go back.
Completely forgot I'd been here years ago. Happened to be shopping nearby with my Mom and we decided to get Mani/Pedis cuz it was her last day visiting me. The ladies who work at Lien's are sweethearts & Lien herself is awesome - my Mom decided this place would be her go to whenever she was visiting. Until she noticed her nails the day after - the nail polish didn't even last 24hrs. My gel manicure lasted a bit longer - 2 days My Mom was really upset having to fly home with chipped nails after I spent close to $200 + tip on our Mani/Pedi's. And I'm really annoyed that I had to redo my nails to attend an event. Don't waste your $ here - they use cheap nail polish.

This woman is incredible! Ms. Lien told me that most of her clients do acrylic nails and she highly recommends doing dipped nails. My acrylic nails took about two hours, but those two hours flew by with Ms. Lien because she is quite personable and funny. She calls her clients honey and baby lol. She was telling me about a rude customer from that morning who came in for a redo because she wasn't satisfied with her nails and it's price (which were very complex and honestly had nothing wrong to me). She asked and got a full refund including the tip and basically wasted 2 hours of Ms. Lien's time doing those nails.... Ms. Lien's prices are extremely reasonable though. My set costed basically half of what other places have quoted me! When she was wrapping up my set a few customers suddenly began coming in and were waiting for the best, Ms. Lien, to take care of them so she had to rush a bit. Still, my nails came out to be amazing and I could not stop (and still cannot) stop admiring how pretty my they are! She has been in the nail business for 17 years, and she is very clearly skilled in what she does. I will certainly be coming back here in the future! read more

Lien is really nice and accommodating. I came to her the very first time to help grew my nails. I was a bad nail biter to start off. She took her time and had a lot of patience. She makes sure that you're fully satisfied with her work. I just had a french mani done by her and a pedi done by Tina. I'm a happy client and will definitely go back. read more

Great conversation with Lien, great pedicure and a good manicure. Can only be seen by appointment but was seen right on time. For the pedicure I sat in the massage chair which was fun. The manicure however could have been a little smoother (bits needed more paint) overall a good experience I would definitely come back! read more

It seriously saddens me to give Lien a bad rating (she seemed very nice and eager to please) but I've never had such a bad manicure in my life. It's rare to see a nail tech with a perfect score so naturally I was excited to try her out but when I arrived some girl named Julie greeted me and began my manicure. She was ROUGH, WAY TOO FAST, and had no idea what she was doing. Told her I liked my nails short and round, and she literally cut every single nail down to my skin!! Then, she started cutting my cuticles on the outside, so fast that I couldn't even see the shit job she was doing. When I looked down at my hands, I was MORTIFIED! SHE CHOPPED ALL OF MY NAILS OFF and my cuticles were rough and jagged! Lien saw I was super upset and took over. She proceeded to CUT THREE DIFFERENT FINGERS in an attempt to fix what Julie destroyed which just made it worse. Then, she began cutting away the cuticles on my one thumb that had already healed, and proceeded to cut two new fingers that were perfectly fine! Add on the awful polish job and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Can't even believe I was charged $15 for that butcher job! I WILL NEVER RETURN! MY HANDS ARE IN PAIN AND I'M BEYOND UPSET. How did I not receive the same stellar manicure people raved about?! read more

I was extremely satisfied with the French Gel Mani I received from Lien. It was my first time going to her. I called literally 5 mins before walking in and she was able to take me with such short notice and completed the mani in a timely manner for her next appointing. She was such a doll. So sweet and kind and extremely amazing at her job. I wish I was a local to her to be able to see her bi weekly for my Mani's. read more

Im so happy i found Lien. She is the sweetest and can do anything you want for your nails. It's hard to come across a nail place you trust it really is and I have been to her a couple times and I will continue to keep coming back. She is very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable and at home. She is a hard worker with a natural talent! She can really do it all :) read more

Thank you, Lien! My nails still look just done after a few days, and I work with my hands a lot. I saw that it took someone 90 minutes for a mani pedi, I was out in exactly one hour but I'm sure she takes the time if you need a little more tlc on your hands and feet. Lien is reasonably priced and so nice. I work in Sherman Oaks but will gladly drive the extra mile to have Lien do my nails! read more

I'll let the photo speak for itself :D. She did an amazing job. I've had these on for a couple days and they feel very sturdy. She accommodated to the shape of nail I wanted. I also walked in not knowing what anything was called. I simply showed her a picture and she went to work. Lien is very nice and I recommend her. read more

I've been going to Lien for my nails for the last year and I have not regretted it one bit! She actually cares about my nails and knows her colors. She's very detailed when she's working on your nails and is great at designs! I'll usually walk in with a few Instagram photos of nails that I like and she copies them for me. She makes an effort to get to know all of her clients by name and is super friendly. If you're looking for new nail lady, she is your girl! read more

How much for a pedicure? regular polish.
$22 for a standard spa pedicure, regular polish. Very reasonable!
Do they do dip powder for natural nails? If so, do you know which powder brands they offer?
Yes
How much for acrylic nails, mani/pedi and refill?
How much is the gel mani and gel off?
I'm not sure how much it is separately, but she doesn't charge extra to take it off because I always get it redone.. I pay $50 for both gel mani and a regular pedi which is by far very reasonable compared to other places. My gel never peels or… Read more
