I just decided to give Avatar a try about a year ago and I just LOVE them. I am not the kind of…read moreperson that can just walk in and have different people each time. My first manicure was just so so but then Helen, who I love, took the time and fixed the problem as she is a very experienced nail technician referred me to Hugh (sp?) Wow is all I can say!!!!! Helen does not usually give manicures as she is responsible for other management tasks but she did me a favor. I am so happy I tried them because I am very loyal and I do not switch salons often. I am so glad I took a chance. :)

Today was really bad. They've always been very good at glitter, cat eye, etc and encouraged me to…read morebring in my own glitter since they don't carry a lot in house. The first very nice woman clearly had zero clue how to do dip glitter (which I explained at the front exactly what I was wanting to do, which I have done here before). Cut to two hours later this woman (not her fault, she didn't have the right experience and also couldn't understand what I was saying) had taken a very, very long time to do a semi-simple job. The lovely man who took over for her and completely erased everything she did for two hours was their normal efficiency. But because they didn't have the time, the job is completely botched. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful he did it, but I also did not want to be sitting there for 3.5 hours for something that would have taken the second man 1 hour to do. It's been 3 hours and my nails are peeling. If you can't do something, then don't say you'll do it. Worse yet, if someone spends two hours literally ruining a customers nails - the next person who does it better have the time to fix it correctly, and you should be mindful to make sure it's done correctly. Or say come back some other time? I'm not sure. But what I'm sure of is today was a complete waste of my day, time, probably theirs as well, and I paid full price and got a very poor result. Been coming here for years and not sure I will come back. I adore the guy who jumped and fervently "fixed" a very poor job... but he also very clearly didn't finish it well. And I wasn't happy about sitting through watching the botched job either, so it was never a favor For reference - the mint is what I left with today after 3.5 hours, which is now peeling. And not sparkling. And not properly sealed because the second time around was insanely rushed. The pink/blue/purple was the same glitter in March. Took one of their artists 1 hour at most, stayed for weeks, and wasn't $90. Inconsistent.

Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but we always have the best conversations, which makes the experience even better.

I reached out to the salon about the issue, but they didn't offer any solution and the attitude was quite rude. It honestly felt like they just didn't care. Very frustrating experience.

The front desk lady greeted us nicely and seated us. I really enjoyed the tech who did my nails, Jenny. She was friendly and engaging. She offered great advice and service. She did a great job with the flower design that I wanted. The place is roomy, comfortable and modern. They are located at Palms, CA at the corner of Sepulveda and National. Parking available. I would definitely come back.

Most gel nail places are way too harsh in your nails, and I was looking for a more non-toxic approach. I am not a fan of the soak off removal approach, as my nails become brittle. I was also looking for a salon that didn't do acrylics because of the smell because I was pregnant then. I am happy to say I am a regular, both Kazumi and Aiko are wonderful. My nails have never been healthier and I often get people commenting on the designs. They are super fast and do such great designs, anything you can think of or if you have examples they are very skilled. Their prices are very reasonable for the west side for the quality you get. There is also a small parking lot that's free, another positive for WLA. The inside is super cute and clean, Kazumi has many cute plants and crystals, you will feel relaxed.

Patrick and the entire team are incredibly welcoming, professional, and truly make you feel like part of the family. Patrick always takes his time to make sure my nails look perfect, and the quality of work is outstanding. The salon is clean, relaxing, and the staff are always happy and friendly, which makes every visit such a pleasant experience. It's rare to find a nail salon that maintains such high standards year after year. If you're looking for a reliable nail salon with skilled technicians, great customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Serenity Nail Lounge. After 6+ years of coming here, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails!

To be clear, the male nail tech Patrick was sexually harassing my friend while working on her…read morenails. He was so distracted by asking her how old she was, where she lived, if she had a boyfriend, that she was so pretty, that they should go out sometime, that he liked the way she smelled, that she was so soft, etc that he clipped her skin and over filed onto her skin multiple times and wouldn't let go of her hand. She kept looking at me but was too scared to say anything in the moment. I noticed he would lean in closer to her occasionally, but I didn't realize that that was when he was saying these really inappropriate things to her. I wish I knew so I could have gotten her out of there sooner. Notice how Patrick never denied harassing my friend in his super professional response. On top of everything, the set she got was ugly and poor quality, just like mine (see pics). Ladies, be so careful around that nail tech. He is not one of the girls. It's even more alarming that he's the owner. I can only imagine how he conducts himself with his all female staff in the off hours. Edit: Patrick, please don't lie about this. I was there. You have no video or audio footage. Just be better.
