I've been looking for a new nail salon after a few mishaps at other places, and I am so glad I came here!! It's definitely no frills, but I'm looking for quality not a spa experience. I had a hangnail on my pinky that had been infected for three days, and they immediately took care of it without causing any further irritation or pain. Honestly, that alone is a five-star experience for me. For my design, I showed some inspo pictures and they were very honest about what was possible and what wasn't. I really appreciated that transparency because I knew exactly what to expect--and they absolutely delivered. The shape is flawless, the finish is super smooth, and the soft nude color is elegant and clean. The little details and accents are done with so much precision--just the right amount of sparkle without being over the top. My cuticles look neat, the application is even, and the nails feel strong yet lightweight. You can truly tell how much care and skill my technician put into this set. Hands down one of my favorite sets ever--highly recommend! I'll definitely be back. For those who've had negative experiences, I would say 1. Make an appointment 2. Be clear on what you're looking for/bring designs 3. For pricing- ask before the service to avoid any miscommunication
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!!
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!!
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.
7 weeks stay with previous gel mani. I just got them done new gel mani today. I recommend nail korea and set appointment be

Jin was absolutely amazing!! She took really good care of my nails and was very precise when cleaning them. All of her products are imported from Korea and the gel x extensions that she uses are a lot thinner than what salons normally use. It makes my nails look so natural!! Her prices are higher than normal salons but that's clearly due to her high quality gel x materials that she imports and the time and attention she puts into a full manicure and providing top tier service. I got magnetic gel nail polish and I'm obsessed with the color!! Thank you so much Jin!! read more

I love Nail Korea! I've been coming here about every 4-6 weeks for a few years and consistently gotten excellent manicures that don't often chip. They use good quality products too, I have very thin/bad/flaky nails but with NK they stay healthy and unbroken. The nail techs will also help you with color choice and design ideas, and will tell you the price ahead of time when you ask. I moved recently and now I drive an hour each way to get my NK manicures, but it's worth it!! read more

I went here because I live down the street and i needed a mani/pedi for my graduation the next day. Service was ok. The lady who did my mani/pedi was nice but of course there's a language barrier. Pretty pricey. I paid $100 for gel mani/pedi and afterwards the lady told me it was 15-20% tip and honestly the nails weren't that great. Wouldn't come here again. read more

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. read more

Like most ppl I'm particular when it comes to nails.. this is the only place I've walked out feeling satisfied with the quality and service. My mani pedi lasts x2 longer than other places and I feel happy every time I look down at my nails (which is very often) Jina, who is also the owner, has great attention to detail and does awesome designs. The rest of her staff are also friendly and does an awesome job. (Not to forget hilarious- esp lavender hair unni ) I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking to get poly gel extensions, intricate nail designs, and also regular gel mani pedis. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for over 10 years at the current location and previous. I can say hands and nails down the best nail salon in KTown. The owner and her team of professionals do a great job. My wife gets tons of compliments. Don't come here if you're looking for cheap. Remember, you get what you pay for! read more

Nail lady was decent. I showed her a design and I was told it's outdated. Then I asked for recommendations but she didn't give me any. She started showing the other staff the reference photo. I think it would have been nice for her just to do it without saying anything or to have given me a design rec if she was going to say something like that. Massage was very mediocre. Not very strong. Nails have some space near the nail bed despite being just done. Gem additions cost me extra, yet one of them already fell off after 3 days. I haven't been doing anything strenuous so I'm not sure why it already fell off. read more

I'm not from the area & needed to get a mani/pedi after hoping off my flight. I gave them a call & was able to take me in ! When I came in I was very impressed by how clean & nice everyone is! The made sure to verify vaccination cards before sitting down. For both the manicure and pedicure the girls who helped me were very meticulous & took their time. (I was really impressed!) I will admit the price for a gel manicure is a little more than I'm use to, but after seeing how well they did and the time they took, I understand. Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to pass by and send my local friends to check it out as well! read more

I think her name is spelled Yuumi, but she did my nails and she was so friendly and made the experience so fun. I asked for "glass-like" nails and she definitely nailed it. I couldn't stop looking at them because I loved them so much. I usually do my nails by myself at home, but this experience definitely made me miss going into the salon. read more

do not go here, my nails only lasted a week and was more expensive than any nail salon I paid. I got my nails done for the first and last time. I came here on the 17th. paid 155 plus tip for regular polish pedicure and regular polish w/ tips. already expensive and the nail technician nickel and dimed me for everything and insisted I tip her more which was ready bad vibes and tacky. today is the 29th I came back because since it's been less than 2 weeks they should at least offer to fix them. they did not! she said it's been 2 weeks which is wrong it was only 10 days and the first night I had them they popped off. do not go here! overpriced chop shop nail salon, not even luxurious and they nails dont even last. read more

Done my pedicure in ten different shapes, the technician did not ask me about the shape just cut my my nail as short as it can, but my nails were not that short and small, they just cut it without any asking. When I realized it , it already late. As I came to home I found how come I have ten toe ，in ten different shapes, really creative read more
