I got a bad manicure at a different spot and I came here and immediately was help. Son (my manicurist) did such a great on executing what I really wanted without me having to explain it. And asked me each step if I was liking what he was doing or if I wanted to change anything. Such a great experience! Will be coming back! read more

Been there plenty of times and never had a problem till now. I a gel Mani and they chipped in 1 week and my nails where very weak due to them scraping my nail enamel.Today I went back to let them know and the manager was very rude and they put another client into my appointment. When I was talking to the manager about what happened she said 'then next time don't get gel' being dismissive. This place is horrible they act like they know what they are doing but they don't. NEVER AGAIN GOING BACK. read more

My daughters and niece wanted to get their nails done. My sister-in-law suggested this spot close to them. We got there and asked if they could accommodate 3 services and luckily they weren't busy and immediately started on the mani/pedi. The other mani and gel-x service had to wait a bit before they were accommodated. The staff seemed pleasant and we were appreciative they were able to squeeze us in. I was going to get a mani/pedi also but decided not to. I think all the girls were fairly happy with their services but after we left, they told me they felt like their nail technicians were rushing through the service or being lazy. That's unfortunate. My niece had gel-x service with French tip and later in the day, her nails had already started chipping. One of her gel nails looked like it was not attached securely and would fall off sooner than later. My daughter who had the manicure wanted to get a small red star on 2 nails and the technician seemed annoyed that we asked for the request. We showed her a photo and my daughter who was too shy to say anything and didn't complain about the mediocre attempt on the stars. I told her she needs to say something next time as we are paying for this. My daughter who is creative and has done her own nail art could do better. Her French manicure also started chipping the same day we had it done. The nail salon location was convenient and nice that they were able to accommodate but the service was just okay. I'm all about supporting nail salons as I grew up in a household where my mom had her own nail salon so I get it. Gel-X + Design = $65 Classic Manicure & Pedicure = $50 Classic Manicure + French Manicure + Stars = $36 read more

I went to go get a gel pedicure by Ana today and without a doubt she always does an amazing job. She cares so much about the quality of her work and gives amazing foot massage. I feel like each time she does my pedicure my feet feel rejuvenated. I 100% recommend her and love her work ethic she is such a sweet person as well. The place is very nice and they play soothing music and looks super clean. I enjoyed my experience there today and would go back read more

Total rip-off. I went in for a margarita pedicure and a basic manicure and was told twice my total would be around $72-73. Somehow I ended up being charged over $100. They added $7 for gel removal, but last time I was only charged $5 to remove both dip and gel, which makes no sense. When I questioned it, they acted like they didn't understand and all grouped up on me instead of explaining. They also push extra services the whole time, and the place feels unprofessional. On top of that, the manicure itself was rough. She handled my hands aggressively, left my skin feeling raw, and later that evening I noticed bruising and blood spots around my nail beds. Please go anywhere else. Not worth it!!! read more

Macy is very sweet, I highly recommend her services Clean facilities and friendly atmosphere read more

The quality isn't great. The first time for my dip mani the dip popped off my nail as a whole piece 4 days after the mani. They fixed all my nails over again for free. Now the same thing happened again after about a week. My nail barely looks like anything was on it at all. Like the dip wasn't bonded correctly. I can tell my other nails will be popping off soon too. Not worth the time and money. I much prefer Me Time Nail spa, they last so long and always look great but you have to book way in advance since they are so busy. read more

I walk in an no one is there. The nail tech was nice. Once she got started a big group of women came in for family pedi's. All of the sudden the nail tech started rushing. She slapped two layers of nail polish on my toes and moved on to the group. The nail polish was lumpy, not even coats and polish on the skin. Then I was rushed out without having my nails dry. I will not be coming back. It was unfortunate. I don't even want to take a pic of my toes. They are that bad. read more

The location is fabulous! Right across from the South Bay Mall, Target, Pandera, Sprout, Ulta Beauty and Nordstrom Rack. The people at this location are so super sweet, always polite, friendly and kind. They have great hours but the lashes lady is only there on certain days and times. Parking can be tricky. You'll have to park in the Islands parking lot or the Total Wine parking lot and walk across. read more

I usually don't like to write negative reviews, but I spent $75 for a a color "change" that included French and chrome when I asked for Gel X nails. Mind you, I already had GelX nails so I didn't even get a fill. Before leaving, I kept asking my nail tech Denise to fix the left thumb nail as it was rounded like the others. I had bubbles with streaks when I left. Leaving 1 star review because Denise was very nice and salon was clean but I wasn't impressed with my nails. read more

Have been going here for years and been satisfied - unfortunately, the prices have skyrocketed and the quality has completely gone down hill. My $40 basic gel manicure today had two thin coats, the manicurist painted over my cuticles and nail edges (so I know it'll peel off quickly), and the finish is bubbly. They totally rushed and did a poor job...I'm not kidding when I say it looks like a little kid painted my nails. I'll do them myself next time. read more

Such a clean nail salon and the ladies were the sweetest ever and were so gentle with my hands. I would definitely go again!

The Service by Sun , I made an appointment with a specific technician he said I would have to wait because she was very busy . I told him that was fine I could wait , when I got there he told me she was too busy and someone else would have to service me. Basically he lied to me to get me down there I would have never come to a place I have been getting my pedicures from for a long time for just anybody. I was very very disappointed and I will NEVER go back there ! read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. The main lady started putting the gel-x nail tips. She put a couple of them on and I noticed they looked crooked, so I brought it to her attention and she removed them. She then put new nail tips on top of the previous glue and yet they remained crooked. She then handed me over to a guy nail tech and when I brought it to his attention, he completely disregarded me. Instead of fixing my nails he continued to paint over them and gave no options for the base color of my French nails, stating "I do this a lot, I know what color goes." He took my suggestion and allowed me to change the base color, however, painted over a nail that was lifting and another nail that had crooked placement. The nails look absolutely botched. The paint is absolutely wrecked and the nails look horrible. He brought it down to $60 yet I can't see what about it costs $60 since both my time and his were wasted as he completely disregarded my concerns and needs. I did pay the $60 without a complaint which I do regret, I was just over stimulated and overwhelmed over the fact that I paid for something and took time out of my day for. read more

This place is sooooo horrible. These people need to listen to their customer and not just assume they know what the customer is there for. I tried this place out because my regular place is close today. I went in for a refill and 3 hours later, the guy put a whole new set of nail on me, cut off all my REAL LONG nails. The job was horribly done. I don't even want yo give this place a 1 star. read more

Worst nail tech ever. I went yesterday for a pink & white powder and decided to get the basic spa pedicure as well. The girl that did my toes was okay but a little harsh when it came to the cuticles. As for the male tech I advised him from the get-go that I was old school and always did the original pink and white powder he referenced a couple of times making sure to sell me on the new updated version which I did not want. He advised me that the old way takes longer but I advised him I was not going to pay $45 for just pink and white nail polish to be put on as I could do that at home. Unfortunately, this man tortured my cuticles to the extreme they were all cut up and severely irritated and not to mention I came home in so much pain. I couldn't even wash my hands as it hurt so much. I have had my nails done religiously since I was 16 years old and have never ever experienced such pain in my life. $90 wasted and all I got was massive pain. read more

Lux Nail Spa - This is only showing three fingers. - Nail Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

They can keep my $90, that's what I was out of pocket for a Mani-Pedi. The pedicure was fine, but then again, you don't have to worry about nails sticking and not popping off after one day the manicure, didn't look right from the start, but I let it go the next day the nail on my right index finger lifted right off, so of course I went back the next day and got it repaired and a polish change which cost me an additional $10, now I'm out $100 including the tips. Then the next day the repair started lifting, and the other index finger on the left hand popped off during the course of the day the next two fingers popped off on the left hand so now all I have left is the thumb and the pinky not only that but my cuticles were not even touched during the manicure so now I've got one nail that needs to be repaired on my right hand, the one that I had previously had repaired after the first day, and I missing three nails on my left hand. At this point, I didn't even want these nails on my fingers so I told them to just please remove them and they wanted to charge me an additional $20, I couldn't believe it. The guy asked me if I wanted polish, lol all I wanted was to get the F out of the place and go home I have never had nails applied like this that were so bad they seem like a 10 year old did it. If I wanted nails to pop off, I think I could've gone next-door to Ulta and got some fake nails and some glue, and I wouldn't of been out $110 either. This is the absolute worst you read the good reviews but then look how long ago they were maybe they really were good five years ago. Going back to Redondo I don't care how good a location is, or convenient when they can't do a decent manicure, I wouldn't care if I could walk over next-door to my house. And my ring finger is still bleeding. They think it's OK to use the dentist drill to clean up your cuticles, I had to specifically ask to put my fingertips in oil, because I asked for an oil manicure. Don't put it on your price list, if you don't know what it means. Wow this is so totally not what I expected because I've gone to the luxe location in Redondo and they were actually good, but this location is the worst. read more

Lux Nail Spa - Red acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

My favorite nail technician Kathy from my old salon is now at Lux and I couldn't be happier. She does amazing work, very meticulous, friendly and accommodating to all my little requests. My nails always turn out perfect and the gel with French tips can last anywhere from 3-4 weeks which is always nice. Lux is located in a great location with plenty of parking, it's very open and well lit inside with tons of spa chairs and nail techs so it doesn't look like there's ever a wait. I got a pedi from Kim and my toes look fantastic as well. All the ladies and the three men that also work there were very friendly and it made me feel right at home....I'm Vietnamese so I can understand all of their side conversations and it's just funny how they all reminded me of my mother!! If you're looking for a new nail spot, look no further, Lux will not disappoint!! read more

I come to this nail salon because it is convenient, but I will not be coming back here anymore. I tried giving this place many chances because everyone is nice, but there customer service is the worst. I waited an hour for someone to finally do my nails when they told me it was a 30m wait. After five minutes of the lady doing my nails, she stopped and said someone else will be doing it because a customer came in. I tried to be patient about all this, but the other young men who was doing my nails stopped as well because one of his appointments came in. So I had to wait for another person to finish my nails. While the man was doing my nails, he kept leaving to answer phone calls and get payments from people who were done with their service. At this point, I'm beyond frustrated. He then looks for my nail color for 5 minutes and proceeds to say I need to pick another one because they don't have it. When two of the people before him never said this. So once he does my nails, I rush out because I've been here longer than I should have been. Once I get in my car, I see my nails and they look horrible because he was distracted the entire time. I paid $32 for this. I wasted my time & I left so dissatisfied with the nails and service. read more

Randomly stopped by after by my regular place was booked & I need a quick gel pedicure. I got my gel pedicure done by Tina & i am now becoming her regular ever since. She is so sweet, accommodating & always takes her time. They have a good variety of colors, they are clean & sanitary, the gel doesn't chip & literally last until you need a fill. They take walk ins, but call ahead because they get busy! read more

I usually don't do negative reviews , BUT ! BUT!! Yesterday I called the shop I have been going here for a while , I spoke with the only male THAT WORKS THERE NOW, Name might be Sung or Sun ...ANYWAY I CALLED AND ASKED IF LELE WAS there he said yes because she has been my nail technician for a long time and she does an amazing job....he says they are very busy but he tells me if i come right now i am going to have to wait , I tell him ok no problem I am on my way. I am 30 minutes away I tell him so I head over there. When i get there everyone is looking at me like why am i there. I say i am here for LeLe, Sun comes over to me and says she busy with a customer i respond back i know you told me i had to wait... THIS WHEN IT GOES SOUTH HE SAYS SOMEBODY GONNA HAVE TO DO ME BECAUSE HE DIDNT KNOW I WAS COMING FOR LeLe i am like HUH , I RESPOND I WOULD NEVER THAT FAR FOR ANYBODY , I SPECIFIICALLY SAID LeLe. I sat there very angry, finally i reluctantly say ok i will let someone else do my Pedicure, OMG the girl couldn't get the water hot I kept saying hotter, then she couldn't figure out if it was gel or regular polish on my nails other technicians kept telling her what to do! So needless to say, i got a trainee I couldn't take I politely told her it was ok and I didn't let her finish! I do not recommend this place, that was very inconsiderate, and I wasted my time and gas I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK!!! read more

Friend recommended me to this nail salon because my gel nails didn't last long. Ambiance is nice and they have a LARGE selection of gel nail colors. One person does your feet while the other does your nails (quicker that way). I was satisfied with the price ($53 for gel mani and regular pedi with a foot scrub). The only cons- the two women doing my feet and hands talked a lot and one of them had a cold. I went home and immediately took an emergency e. I would have left or requested someone else but they were busy and I was leaving town. read more

Lux Nail Spa - Gel manicure... - Nail Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I just got my nails done at this location about two weeks weeks ago. I was shopping at the Ulta couple doors down I saw the nail salon so I went in there. I walked right in, and they immediately sat me down for the service I wanted. When I sat down the guy who did my nails asked me how long I wanted my nails and I told him short. But I guess he did not hear me when I said " I want short, French tip, almond shaped nails" . He was really nice and everything but when he trimmed my nails, he left them squared and started to put the acrylic. I was looking at them and he asked me if they were OK and I said I wanted them almond shape. So he cut them. The nails ended up coming out a lot smaller than I like. Because typically with almond shaped nails, they have to be a little longer because of the way they're cut. I left with cute nails, but not the length that I wanted. I also ended up leaving a five dollar tip on my card and they charge a one dollar fee for using card, which was fine. I looked at my bank statement a couple of days ago and it looks like after the initial charge for my nails and the tip there was a $2.50 charge. So I don't for what reason they charge me that after I left. But that seems kind of weird to me so if you go, just make sure they charge you correctly if you pay with card. read more

I've been to this shop twice and will not be coming back a 3rd time. The service providers are too rough (I've been made to bleed both times I've come), they spend too much time talking amongst each other during the service (I can't confirm if they were talking about me as I do not speak the language they do, but through context clues I'm almost certain that they were), and the quality of even a basic gel manicure is abysmal. This most recent time, I was in the shop for almost 2.5 hours for a gel mani pedi, and wanted to leave so bad I didn't realize how awful the paint job was on my hands until I got home. I will not be returning for any reason despite the convenient location read more

Randomly tried this nail salon due to my old salon getting too busy and started to digress in quality. So glad I did! I've come 4 times now. Absolutely love this place. The last 2 times I've had Eva do my gel manicures and she does a great job! She's quick, she double checks throughout it I like the color and the job she's doing. The salon itself is your average one - has a front desk, manicure stations, massage chairs for pedicures. Even has a charging station with different types of chargers. Their cards even have a stamping system. Pricing - a few bucks extra compared to other salons. But definitely worth the quality and service. read more

I know... another nail salon fail. So, i could not get in contact with my regular nail tech and had to go elsewhere. Ugh! I went to Lux as to it was not far from my home and it fit into my crazy schedule. The place was clean, the people were friendly and were able to get me in right away. Of course i was told to pick a color... i was given the gel charts. I was told that there were regular paints to go along with the gel for my pedicure. I selected a color and guess what? No matching polish... whatever.. The pedicure was decent.. no real foot/leg massage, but..meh the lady (i didnt get her name) who completed my fill, i had to mention how her filing was uneven or the acrylic was lumpy. She was responsive and tried to fix it. When i left... i thought the service was ok for randomly trying a new spot... fast forward 5 days when the gel and acrylic started to chip off. Ugh read more

Lux Nail Spa - Chipped gel after 5 days - Nail Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Like so many others on here, this place used to be my go-to, but it's really gone downhill. The last few times I've been here my experiences have been really frustrating (poor communication about wait times, rushed job, pressure to add services, etc), but my most recent experience is why I will never go back. First, the pedicure took an hour and a half - you would think it was because the tech was being meticulous but it was actually because he didn't really know what he was doing. Second, he ended up cutting into my big toe horrifically, and kept doing so even after I told him to stop because I was bleeding so much. I was really worried it would get infected and sure enough, it has. Something that should have been relaxing resulted in pain and inconvenience. Spare yourself the potential infection and poor service, and go somewhere else. read more

I decided to randomly stop in for a mani pedi after seeing them, leaving Panera. Honestly, reading other reviews I probably wouldn't have gone, but I'm so glad I did. I know everyone has off days, so maybe that's the reason for the negative reviews, but I had a great experience. I just asked for a regular polish basic mani/ pedi. I wasn't pressured at all to upgrade polish or services which is a nice change. All the techs/ employees were VERY sweet. They did a great job on my nails, and everything was extremely clean, which is the most important thing for me. I felt very taken care of! read more

Great staff and service! I've been to other nail salons and none compare to them. I definitely recommend them.

I've tried LUx twice now with a friend. They were nice the first time. Nicer the second and remembered my friend. They were pleasant and the salon is clean and pleasant. Parking is tricky but not their fault so my review isn't taking that into account. The TV is on the news.. last thing to help you relax when trying to have a little me time. The prices and menu are a bit confusing and for what you get a bit high even with the cost of everything skyrocketing. Both times my 19 min " massage" was just wiping lotion all over for a few minutes and spending a lot of time stopping and talking to each other then going to get the warm towel before the timer bell they start and show you goes off. Extras are costly like callus removal etc. Last time I had polish on my toes and cuticles and I had to clean them up at home. I don't want to do that after paying for a 50 dollar basic manicure with tip. I wish they were a little more precise and conscientious with their work. I know they must be tired and it's not an easy job but when you are spending your money you don't want to have to do clean up work after both times. My friend likes the place but also is nearly blind so she likes the atmosphere and attention more than seeing the end product. We have only done mani there based on pictures they would never meet my expectations on gel mani. Im particular on them and they don't seem to take their time or ensure nails are straight, tight and no rough edges and polish to standards. Depends on who you get I guess but not my favorite. Will keep looking read more

I have been going to this nail shop since they first opened (at least 5 years ago) and I religiously get my nails done every 2 weeks for a gel manicure and pedicure. The place is always impeccably clean and the staff are always friendly and consistent. Everyone once in a while I have to go to other nail shops when I am traveling and honestly I always regret the decision because I've become so spoiled by the Lux Nails staff. They always take the time to make sure my pedicures are perfect and anytime I have any special requests they are very accommodating. They are a busy shop so if you don't make an appointment, be prepared to wait for a bit, although the wait is never more than 20-30 minutes. read more

People here are very nice always accommodating and prices are very reasonable. If you're getting acrylics the gentleman are very good.

I've been coming here for a while now (a couple of years) and my nail tech, Jenny, is no longer here. I didn't want to just leave the business so I decided to give the other nail techs a chance. This morning I went in to get a gel mani and regular pedicure and I am not happy. The polish on both my toe nails and finger nails looks really bad and messy. The shape of my nails are ok, but all my nails are filed unevenly. I'm very disappointed in the work and lack of attention to detail in today's service. read more

Got my pedicure here 2 days ago and the lady who did mine decided to cut my ingrown. She literally yanked it out my skin where I had to physically pull back. I noticed she kept putting thinner in the polish as well and I said maybe I should pick another one. She insisted it's ok but the next day I wore tennis shoes for maybe a 30 min walk and now the polish looks horrible. Now I'm at work and can barely move around without pain. I for sure have an infected ingrown toenail. read more

Lux Nail Spa - Infected toe with horrible polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I've had my nails done here before and Lyn is by far the best tech. Outside of that it's hit or miss. I went in the other day after a long day of work and 4 women were just sitting down on their phones as they debated who would do my pedicure. I refused to spend additional money in this place. read more

this review is long overdue, nonetheless I had a horrible, horrible experience here that should be known about. I had been a customer here for 3+ years and never had a problem or complaint, as I always get the best acrylic pedicures here. June 4th was the last and final time I went to this nail shop. After being serviced and getting a pedicure, one of the employees came up to me letting me know that the last time I got my nails done here, I did not pay. I kept letting him know he had the wrong person, because he did. He was insistent on the fact that I went to my vehicle for a form of payment and never returned. This was not true. I was being falsely accused of theft and the more I insisted it was not me, the angrier the employee got. Not to mention, the store manager being right next to us not saying a single word. He then told me he had the camera tapes proving this incident and proving that it was, in fact, me. I told him to pull the tapes up, however, he just walked away angrily. The store manager did not even apologize, nothing. It was extremely humiliating and extremely unprofessional, as this was AFTER they had already serviced me and made me pay. Why would they service someone who allegedly did not pay the last time?? There's a lot of things wrong with this situation, as accusing someone of theft isn't a small thing. Moreover, I feel as if the person who did actually do this was brown with black hair, like myself, and they decided that, me, fitting those two descriptions was enough to accuse me of being the one. I have distinctive features such as facial piercings that would have been a tell-tale sign if the person on camera was me, and they did not make an effort to reassure themselves it was me, even after I insisted it was not. The male employee just gaslit me. If I could give them 0 stars I would. Nothing so unprofessional and humiliating has ever happened to me. Don't go here. read more
