    Fell off after 2 weeks
    Pauline C.

    Gel X Manicure (no design): $100 Gel Pedicure (no design): $50 Called in to see if there was any appointments for a pedicure and they advised to come now. When I arrived, I decided to get gel x as well. Originally felt bad because I thought I took a lady's spot. She came in after for a gel manicure and I might have taken her manicurist when I asked for gel x last minute. It wasn't until another lady was helped next to me that I felt out of place. She was offered a beverage while I was not. Could be possible that since there was an empty cup there already (not mine) that they assumed I was already offered one. After the pedicure was complete, I was NOT moved to the manicure station and was finished at the pedicure station which hurt my back since I needed to twist to the right. There was another lady who got moved from pedicure to manicure station but I am not sure if that depends on who helps you but I was the only customer who was not Korean. No ambience. Pedicure stations are set up with wood and buckets of water instead of real massage chairs. Leg and arm massage lasted less than a minute each ligament. Nails are lifting after 2 weeks and 1 already fell off. Will not be back.

    I called in at about 11 AM on a Friday, and the lady said that I could go in immediately, so I stopped by about 15 minutes later. The door is locked, but there is a doorbell to ring when you arrive. There was only one customer when I came in, and another came by during my appointment, so I'm not super busy at this time. I think there were about 3 workers. The girl who did my nails was very attentive, I appreciated that she really took her time preping my nails and shaping them. I was there for about an hour.

    This is my favorite nail salon in k-town. Easy to make appointment and if you don't have time to get a nail art or quick nail cuticles care this place is perfect for you. I've been this place multiple times and never disappointed something. They're professional and very accommodating, super friendly. Very clean place! I would recommend this place! Please make appointment before you go.

    I went with a friend who has been a long time customer and always has the best nails! I got a cat eye gel mani with hard gel and they're perfect! It's been a week and I moved/have been really hard on my nails but they've held up really well and don't have a single chip. The ladies working there were so sweet, will be back.

    Loved it here! Felt just like the nail salons in Korea! Went with my mom and sister, so we each got serviced by all of the ladies working here and they were all great. Very meticulous with the cleaning and details of the designs. There's also parking in the back- a huge plus for the area. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in LA!

    Jina is my saving grace when it comes to my nails. Earlier this year, I went in with the most damaged and paper thin nails, she has helped me grow out my natural nails and made them healthy again! I use my hands a lot for work and am quite rough on them. As you can see in my picture with the pink nails - that is a 4 week grow out. No lifting, no nails broken. No other nail salon has provided me this type of quality over and over again other than Jina and her girls! She's honestly the best and will also tell you which colors would look better based on your nail length and shape (I have really weirdly shaped nails and she fixed that!). I trust her with any design I bring in and honestly, she makes them BETTER!! And hey, even my baby sister flies in from Texas to get her nails done here! If this doesn't convince you of the quality and service you will get... idk what else will! Jina and her girls are the ONLY people I trust with my nails!!

    Love this color! Love this nail shape! Nail korea is the best in K town. Thank you

    Warning. This place is a scam. For the same services, other nail salons will charge you $50-$150. THIS PLACE charged me $250. That's absolutely insane. For $250, the nails should look perfect, but the application of gel was very thick and the details were messy. EW! Would never come back here. They are not a fair or good business.

    I am a nail whore!! Can I say that on yelp?? Lol anyways, I have had my nails done at most shops around Koreatown. By the end of the first week or second my gel nails start to come off and every time I wash my hair it keeps getting caught in my hair! Very annoying by the way but when YUMI does my nails, they last forever and she is very meticulous!!!! she's absolutely amazing!!!! Love this place, I come in tired and leave feeling revived!!

    Hard gel on natural nails
    Alysha J.

    I recently moved to Koreatown and was very excited to find a new local nail salon close to home. My new landlord recommended Nail Korea and they did not disappoint. The salon was very clean and organized and the nail technicians were friendly, professional and very skilled. My manicure was done by Yumi who was very attentive and gentle with my service. She was also patient while I requested to see different colors before making my final selection, and even suggested the perfect accent color. She did a wonderful job with the accent nail! The pricing for services was also very reasonable, I felt like I received a great value for what I paid. I will definitely be back to visit Yumi when it's time for my next service

    Best spot in Koreatown to get your nails done hands down. Yumi does such a great job every time. I always get gel nails and they rarely ever chip or lift even when I'm pushing 4 weeks. Absolutely in love with these nails!! This new type of powder that just arrived from Korea might be my new favorite.

    This place is such a scam. I usually don't even write reviews, but your nail lifts like this after 6 days of getting them done. The owner even charged $10 extra for "extra layer of coating for gel" without even telling you - she told me after applying. There are so many good places in ktown for way better quality and a better price. I would never recommend this place.

I specifically explained that I had gone to another salon before, but was unhappy with the results because the French tips were made too thick. I clearly stated that I wanted a thinner, more refined French tip. During my appointment, the nail technician called over three different employees to look at my nails. One of them looked at my nails, gave me a dirty look, and began speaking in Vietnamese. Although I do not speak Vietnamese, her tone and reaction were clearly unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. It sounded as though she was questioning why I was there, despite my explaining exactly what I wanted. When I asked if there was a problem, I was simply told that they were not confident they could achieve the look I wanted and therefore could not help me. I was shocked by the lack of professionalism and customer service. Had they communicated this during our text consultation, I would not have wasted my time driving to the salon and coming in for the appointment. I completely understand if a salon is unable to perform a specific service, but the way the situation was handled was disappointing and unprofessional. Customers should be treated with respect, regardless of whether the salon decides to take on the service requested. Will not be coming back.

Beware when making an appointment because you still might end up waiting. When I called to make an appointment on the phone, the guy who answered was so rude and after repeating the time I wanted to schedule, he repeated the wrong time back. After he repeated the incorrect time back, I repeated the correct time twice. The salon is new and clean, but all their services are overpriced. They charge $25 more for french tip and $20 for chrome/cateye. The designs are extra depending on your liking. Luckily, I ended up liking how my nails came out because Mimi kept asking if everything was ok throughout the entire time. I did ask her to adjust a few things, and she did it with no problem. On the other hand, I believe his name was Kevin, was so aggressive when doing my pedi. One of my toes have a thicker white line than the other, and I mentioned that, but he did not seem to fix it. In addition to that, I could hear his long sigh the entire time he was doing my nails. On top of paying for your services, parking in DTLA is difficult and it took over 2 hours for a mani/pedi. Mind you, parking is $4/hour for metered parking, if you're even lucky enough to find one. Prior to making an appointment, I wanted to see all the reviews. Almost all the reviews said positive things so I thought I would give them a shot. All the reviews shown on here and Google say wonderful things because they ask you to scan a QR code and leave a review. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.
