This review is long overdue, but I've been getting my nails done regularly by Alyssa for about 8 months now and she is the absolute best! She is so skilled and always has so many options available for both colors and designs. She is also very sweet and fun to chat with! I really like that I can schedule directly with Alyssa for my appointments instead of just booking a time and getting whoever is available. Lori's doesn't have that assembly line feel that a lot of nail salons have because they're not trying to cram in a bunch of appointments and walk-ins at once, and there's also no up selling pressure because most of their services are included in the price. All this contributes to a very relaxed and easy-going experience. It's different than any salon I've been too before and I will be getting my nails done here as long as they're around! A++! read more

I absolutely love this place. Alyssa does such a great job and is up on all the latest nail trends. She is so sweet and really takes pride in her work. She uses all quality products that make such a difference. Lori's nail cottage might be the last nail salon of its kind where you don't feel like you are cattle and is so very clean. Lori, the owner, is so friendly and welcoming. I enjoy going every time! read more

They were very nice. A basic pedicure is $45. So, significantly higher than most places. They don't have the usual chairs with the jet tub for your feet. So, the water they soak your feet in is cold and just gets colder. The chairs are very uncomfortable. However, the quality of the service was solid (i.e. they did a good job trimming my toenail and removing the cuticles painlessly as well as pain application). read more

This place does great nails Very detailed so nice My wife loved it I recommend anyone wanting nails read more

I came here for my 21st birthday and I've never gotten my nails done before due to work. I really wish I got a pedicure along with the manicure because it was such a fun experience! I decided to go with gel because I wanted something to last a 2 week trip with lots of swimming, and by the time the gel had to come off, they were still just as flawless as the photo attached! Kamei did such a great job and I was really bummed to have to eventually remove it, but she gave me a file and cuticle oil to help with that difficult process. I did find another job that doesn't restrict nails, so I'm excited to come back whenever I can! read more

Lori's Nail Cottage - Turquoise gel nails 01/04/20 - Nail Salons Near Me - Lakewood, California

I'm so excited to have found this place. It's a two minute walk from my house. Darling atmosphere instantly relaxes you as you walk in the door. Lori herself did my nails and toes. They also do hair and facials. I love the big overstuffed, pink floral chairs the have for pedicures. I could easily curl up and fall asleep in that chair. I love the white, antique vanities around the room. Looking forward to going back. I think I'll even do a girlie trip with my granddaughter sometime. Of take advantage of the facial services. Thanks Lori!! read more

KRISTINA DOES SUGARING. I'll say it again: she does sugaring. I've been in love with sugaring for as long as I can remember, but nobody can ever make it work successfully on my legs, for whatever reason. That is, until Kristina did them. It hardly hurt and I had silky smooth legs when I left. Again, I highly recommend having her tend to all your sugaring needs!!!! I was in desperate need of a nail salon a few years back and thankfully I found Kristina. She's amazing. My nails always look great and she always goes the extra mile to ensure I'm happy with my nails, which I always am. I recommend her to all my friends because she's just the best. read more

First time client. I had the most amazing experience at Lori's. The salon is clean and the Shabby Chic decor is adorable. My appointment was with Kamei. She is welcoming, friendly and her attention to detail is superb. I typically do not get my nails done as I have yet to find a person who knows how to interpret my needs but I have to say that this has now changed. I found her and my new go to nail salon. My nails are BEAUTIFUL!!! I have even scheduled my next appointment. Thank you to Lori and Kamei for the recommendation and service. You did not disappoint. read more

The longest mani/pedi pamper sessions are here! You won't be disappointed except with the $75 bill with tip. I use this place to pamper my mom on her bday each year and we book with Christina.

My lashes are amazing and life changing. Kristina is a perfectionist and she does an amazing job on my lashes. I am in love with them and how much time they save me. I was hesitant because I thought they would be a high maintenance type of thing. They aren't. You don't really feel them and they stay on. Oh and I have wanted them for awhile and waited until I could get them at Lori's by Kristina. So now I get my pedicures, facials and lashes by Kristina at Lori's Nail Cottage. read more

I have been going to Lori's Nail Cottage for a few years now. Lynda does my nails and I couldn't be happier. I have very sensitive nail beds and Lynda always takes special care with them. Lori always greets me by name when I come in, even though she has never done my nails. Kristina is just as sweet and friendly. I recently moved from Cypress to Placentia, and continue to return to Lori's nail Cottage. It's worth it! Merrily Placentia read more

What a delightful nail salon! The space is very bright and welcoming, charmingly decorated, like being in an English Garden. Lori is an amazing manicurist. You could not ask for a more caring, thoughtful and knowledgeable professional! Last year she made the trip up to Burbank to do the nails for the girls in a wedding my daughter was in! I understand that Lori will soon be enhancing the services offered by adding hair stylists and a facialist. I can imagine girls from St. Joseph's HS or Lakewood HS coming over for Homecoming, Winter Formal or even Prom to have their nails and hair done in this enchanting environment. What a great addition to the Lakewood community! read more

She has the softest hands when need be & strong hands when its required. read more

I had fears about having pedicure because of some horror stories I heard about infections, etc. But my podiatrist suggested to get pedicure for my ingrown nail that are really hurting my big toes. Researched many places and finally chose Lori's. So fortunate to get Kristina who is very good, very gentle and did an excellent job! No more fears. Thank you Kristina for an excellent job! Lori was also very patient to find me a slot despite a short notice. Thank you very much! read more
