This place might be cheap but it's not worth it. No other place has charged me for gel removal when I'm there to get another gel manicure, but this place charged me $3. On top of that, the elderly woman who did my manicure cut me on 3 different fingers and did a mediocre job on the polish (uneven/sloppy bear the nail bed). I stopped coming here months ago because the gel manicure would start chipping or discolor so soon, but my mom insisted we try them again. We won't be coming back read more

First and last time in this place, I only had one dollar of change for tip and the lady got angry about that, if the tip is voluntary and because of the service you receive , read more

Nina is the best she is sweet and whem she does my feet they last a good while. i have followed her thru 2 different salons and now she owns her own I'm so proud of her and she is a good hearted person! Go support good people and good service read more

Simple request of French tip. She rushed and didn't even look like she was trying. As she was on the second coat, I asked to just keep it tan. She refused to take it off and continued to insist on finishing. I'm not one to write Yelp reviews but I spent $95 dollars on a service I'm very disappointed with. Do not spend your money here. Had I known I would have waited or made an apt elsewhere. read more

definitely i am not coming back i got little stilettos, they only lasted a week, I paid 45 dollars dor these nails just for them to start coming off. definitely not worth it. read more

Pretty decent nail salon. Moved to the area not too long ago so I decided to check this salon out (and my usual lady at my usual place was busy). Only $15 for a Spa Pedicure plus a quick hot stone massage included! Spa chairs are newer and work well! My pedicurist Ling did a pretty good job altogether. And she did scrub down the tub when she was done so that's good to see. All in all pretty good but very busy. Ling said Monday & Tuesday are the best days to go. My sister was happy with her gel pedicure and my mom liked her acrylic french manicure. (Side bar-some of the employees are not as friendly as others but Ling was very nice). read more

Magic Nails - After my spa pedi - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Just got my nails done here and I can say I will never be back. They charge to remove gel($3) even though I got a gel mani/pedi. They don't have hardly any colors to choose from, and from the colors they do have, they appear a completely different color on your nails then on the paper. If that's not enough, their gel is so thin that it was see through even with 2 coats already on. A bit concerned it won't last long, but I guess I will have to wait and see. Nails were also painted uneven, left sharp, and they left oil on afterwards. That was a first. One thing I can't complain about is the friendliness of the ladies that helped me. Li was super sweet and tried to help me as much as she could. I wish I could be writing a better review, but I'm being honest about my experience. Also side note, they don't place a plastic protectant in the foot spa. read more

Reallly really busy ! But definitely worth the wait and really good service . I changed my nail shop at the last minute. I'm definitely not disappointed. read more

I told the lady at the front desk for just GEL removal for hands and feet only. I dont think they understood that and they also did a manicure pedicure. The lady that was helping me wasn't careful and gave me a cut on my pinky toe. I also asked for a lash removal and the lady just did it on the chair and applied the lash removal on a cotton pad then plucked them one by one. I told her to stop because it hurt so bad. They were obviously talking about me in thai which made me really uncomfortable. When i was about to leave, the lady in the front desk voluntered to do the lash removal. I soaked my lashes and she plucked them one by one. It did the job but it's not the right way to removal lashes because it causes stinging and pulling of lashes. I will never come back here ! read more

they are so friendly and welcoming. i'm definitely coming back to get my nails done again. i love my nails!

I like how the lady of the brows make my eyebrows perfect!!! I always come here to getting then done. I recommend guys to come to Magic Nails Spa & Waxing. read more

ZERO STARS! Is this place serious! I came in to get an acrylic full set and I got a shit show. The nails are crooked, bumpy, shape doesn't match, nail tech chipped the nail polish and didn't fix it, nails are all different lengths and cuticles aren't smooth. And on top of that the nail tech got an attitude when I asked her to take off and redo a nail that was super messed up. Seriously never coming back this is ridiculous not worth the $35 they wanted! read more

I have never been so unhappy with my nails in my life. First off I came in with a picture and had it for her to see but at some point she got frustrated and said "I don't need picture!" And moved my phone! My sister and I looked at each other confused but i brushed it off because I'm extremely patient person. She went on too do my nails and becuase it was colored powder when I saw that there was clouding on the nail I thought it was just excess powder that was going to brush off when she polish them or something however as she kept going I noticed that it kind of hardened and it didn't go away and my sister saw that I was frustrated and asked her why does it look like that why is it cloudy? and she responded it's marble! it's marble! she started to get loud and made my sister look dumb for asking the question and she didn't stop to ask do you like it or is it good because she was already almost done and I just thought that it would polish away and it would look nice. Then by the she started noticing that I was frustrated and she started filing my nails extremely hard and my nails are still sore and it's been two days. And at the beginning I had told her that I had a nail that was sensitive because I had previously injured it and I asked her if she can just be a little gentle but by the end when she was shaving it down she just didn't care and when I left I was bleeit's still purple right now it was extremely horrible she charge me $55 and it looks nothing like what I wanted their customer service is horrible I wish I could've said something but I just I was so frustrated and I didn't want to be caught out of character. I will never go back there! Please don't go there it's better to pay more at a better salon wit professional nail techs and I think this lady still charged more than she should have becuase all the other girls were charged 35 dollars read more

The waxing lady by the front door is really good at threating & waxing. She is very neat and clean, great prices and friendly. I only come to her! I don't trust the other ladies, they have burnt me and left my eyebrows extremely thin (had to grow them out for a month). I don't get my nails done here only because I don't see them have good hygiene, plus a bunch of women who come here look gross, like they need showers and I'm afraid I might get infected with something. read more

I came to this nail shop because a friend really recommended it however it was a huge disappointment! The lady was extremely rough and I can handle pain! She was so careless and unsanitary. She was going way too fast resulting on multiple cuts to my toe and nails. 3 of my fingers on my right hand were instantly swollen and bleeding. I tried to keep cleaning them constantly but it looks like I'm getting an infection from the cuts. I would not recommend this place to anyone! It's also expensive i paid $40 plus tip for a regular pedicure and regular manicure with no color just the shinny top coat. read more

Magic Nails - Do not come here!!! Look at my swollen skin right around my fingernails they became infected - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Love love love van but, the sister has no customer service super rude, they take walkins before attending customers who are here before other no organization. She always arguing infront of customers will throw unnecessary comments. If van is thinking of her business the sister has to go! read more

Three stars because I keep coming back no matter where I try next. I'm so impressed on how my eyebrows turn out. I've gone to many other nail salons to get my eyebrows done, bad decisions. I come here and I'm always happy with my eyebrows. Havent had my nails done here tho read more

I've been going here for years now. Lately, the owner (Van) intentionally resets her visa charge machine to always decline all transactions. She does that, so you'll be forced to get money from her in-store ATM machine which charges you $3 (what a crook!). The $3 goes to her! Then, yr bank also charges you $3, for the transaction. So that's $6 thrown away, right there. Sometimes, they will offer the service you came for, and when it's time to pay, they tell you their Visa machine is faulty; and then, they'll keep pushing for you to get cash from their in-store ATM machine, just so they'll make the extra $3 off you ! They won't tell you the machine is faulty before service. They will do what you came for, and then, when it's time to pay, they begin their stupid trick! All for the love of money. Which business owner will have a faulty visa machine (day in, day out), and not call the visa machine company to come fix it right away , or bring a replacement? Van, God is watching! read more

I've seen all of the negative reviews but I'm not sure why. I've been coming here for years and I'm always satisfied. Now I must say my favorites are Shalley, Rose, and John. They always do a great job. I only allow shalley to do my eyebrows. I will admit you have to know who to let do your mani and pedi but I think that's any place you go read more

Horrible job I showed her an ombré picture and she just brushed half of my nail with gold and charged 35. For a bad job, I definitely won't be coming back I was so upset at how bad and pricey it is I don't recommend it read more

Salons cut my foot, toe and finger. Cut on my foot makes it difficult to walk. She told me it was normal, I'm 32 and I'm all my life I've never had three different accidents read more

I've been coming here for over 10yrs because I love Van, and she does an amazing job on my eyebrows. However, she has lost so many of the BEST nail techs over the years. There was Jenny, Jim (my FAVORITE) and of recent I believe Rose and Shelly is gone. You can call and make an appointment, yet they still take someone who walked in before you. Then try to blame you, when they clearly messed up. Today, I had an appointment at 9:30 walked in at 9 only to find the person I had an appointment with starting someone else's nails. So another tech began doing my pedicure only for her to say she has an appointment. She stopped removing my gel mid session to pass me to someone else. This has got to be so annoying and very unprofessional. I'm very respectful and nice even when I'm annoyed here but today took the cake for me. I will always come here to get my brow wax but I will now travel 25mins away to Cerritos Nails again to get better service! read more

I reside in Las Vegas Nevada I come to California to visit my family, Today I decided to pamper myself and get a pedicure, I chose this place because my mother always comes here, I got to this place with my 7 year old daughter and niece as I'm waiting one of the girls there Came towards me to tell me that the nail shop owner Van had hit my daughter twice on her arm for no apparent reason, as a Mother that really hit a cord and it really pissed me off, you NEVER hit or touch someone's child. When I confronted her she denied it gladly the girl that witnessed her doing that confronted her about it as well but Van the owner still denied it and didn't even apologize I can't believe the bad experience I went through. If your a mother and take your children to a nail shop with you DO NOT bring them here in fact I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone complete bad experience read more

This is THE WORST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN TO! I went in to get lash extensions and the lady was so rude. She was also very unsanitary. She stuck the individual lashes on her hand and the glue on just a piece of tape. She was not professional at all and wasn't careful when applying them. She poked me in the eye several times and to top it all off, she put WAY TOO MUCH glue. My eyes were so irritated and the lashes wouldn't even bend or comb out. It hurt to even blink, let alone sleep. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I only had the lashes on for 5 days and I couldn't take it anymore. Do yourself a favor and DONT GO HERE! read more

The pedis were decent . Best part was the hot towel and hot stone. Not the best manicure. It's always busy and the people that frequent here makes me question about sanitation . will only come again when NEED to. Def not my first choice by far! And if you do go, ask for Shelly read more

Van has been doing my eyebrows since I was 15yrs old going to high school at Leuzinger. I'm 29 now and Ill NEVER go any place else!

Van with her magic hands to fix eyebrows, I swear she's the best. I've been going to her for 13 yrs, since my sophomore year of high school. I learned my lesson twice when i had my eyebrows done by someone else to never again cheat on van! Lol. Next time van isn't there, I'll just tweeze myself until she returns. As for the manicure and pedicure, it's decently priced. I've had the gels done here and they do last awhile. But i usually get my nails done closer to home. (I literally drive 45 mins every two weeks just to get my eyesbrows done by van) read more

This place is horrible! Number 1. I asked for a lip and chin waxing and they burned my face with the wax. I now have a burn that I'm hoping heal properly. Please GOD Also the pedicure I received she cut my nails too short!!! read more

I've been coming for over 10 years now. Owner does a great job on eyebrows. JIM is the best nail technician, followed by Shelly and Rose!!

Definitely an amazing experience. Shelly does my facial, and she takes very good care of me. It's inexpensive and it does not compromise the quality of work. Ask for Shelly if you want to do your facial, maybe you'll notice that there are other customers waiting for her, either for manicure or pedicures so I'm guessing she does a good job with those as well. Anyway, I recommend it!!!! read more

Worst customer service ever!!!! I only come here because I love how Shelly does my pedicure ! I wish I could give this place 0 stars .

They are cheap nail salon. I paid $10 for a manicure plus $5 for design on two nails. I showed the lady the design multiple times. Yet my cheetah print nails looked like polka dots. And the top coat she used had glitter from the previous nails she did. And tried to pick of the glitter. If you're getting plain nails then this is for you. read more

This is the worst pricy nail place in Hawthorne, I decided to give it a try but I made a mistake, my nails turned out so bad, I can't even explain how thick &bad they look &it's been 4 days &the paint has chipped. I honestly don't know how they maintain in business. I'm so upset over my nails&the price I had to pay for the way they turned out. read more

Great value! Hot towel and hot stone massage. They are really nice. And friendly. They took special care with my mom-in-law. Her knee is a bit stiff to move and they were careful. They do a great job and it looks amazing. I had Ana and Tina doing our pedicures. read more

buyer beware of this place. they recently started accepting cash only and put an atm machine that charges you $2 to pull out cash plus an additional $2.50 hidden charge later through your bank. So after paying them $50 for nails I got charged an extra $5 by their Atm machine for a lousy gel manicure. The lady was extremely rough and carless, she left me all kinds of cuts. Seems like they switched to cash only just to pass all charges and fees to the consumer. Not good business at all. read more

Horrible horrible place. I'm so speechless to how this business is still running. I'm so sorry to anyone that comes here and experience their "hospitality". I will never be coming back. You wouldn't get it until you go but if you do I'm so sorry. read more

I've bee coming here for about 1 year now, the location is perfect for me since live a block away and wouldn't say it's great but the service is mediocre. I usually only come for the pedicure. I always ask for Thao she's really good at removing my ingrowns and she's really nice...I usually try to come every 2 weeks but with my schedule it's usually impossible. The last time I was here she actually cut me and it wouldn't stop bleeding I can tell she got really nervous, but She handled the situation appropriately and she apologized. I was happy that she kept putting alcohol to disinfect. I was a little disappointed and was hesitant to return but again accidents do occur and it was the only time that happened. I came back 3 days ago( my feet couldn't take it any more I was too lazy to go else where) she asked how I was doing and this time did not cut me. Prices are decent...I recommend Thao 100% your feet will thank you after a visit with her...and its a plus when she provides a great service with ever visit she never rushes and always asks if your content with the service. read more

Before coming here, I called and asked how much they charged just to remove my acrylic nails and how they remove them. The lady who answered said $6 and with acetone. I thought, "Great! Cheap and not painful." I go and the lady who does eyebrows told me to sit and had this other lady do my service. She was just finishing with a client, and she stands and starts cutting my nails fast and aggressively. She then started taking off one of my nails in the way that I was trying to AVOID. She cut them and it HURT. And then she grabbed a fake nail and stuck it under and ripped it off. I immediately stopped her there and told her that I called and they said they remove them with acetone. She responded, "Why? It hurts you?" Um, YES! And not to mention that's horrible for your nails! She put my nails in a bowl of acetone and just left me. Some other lady saw that I was just left there and took me to her station and took care of the rest. As far as their nail work, I don't know, but given the experience that I had today, I would never go back. And the only reason I give this place 1 star was because the second lady who helped me was nice. read more
