Hilly was amazing! The quality was top tier and the I'm obsessed with the color she recommended. I will definitely be coming back here. The vibe is super cute too! Came Thursday lunch time and no one was there, they get really busy in afternoon and weekends. read more

Nailbox Studio - Gel manicure with Cat Eye color - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

1.5 stars I have gotten a signature manicure and pedicure a couple times. They do a good job on the service, however both times the nail tech has gotten up to either help another customer (take off their nails) and answer the phone (to schedule appointments). And likely bc of the interruptions, I did not receive the hand massage, which is listed as part of the treatment in the description, on the booking platform. When paying $75, I do not think it's much to ask for technician to focus on the client they are helping. Also, there is a $2 fee for credit card. For a premium nail salon it feels a bit run down and dirty. read more

I was lucky enough to find a place that pays close attention to detail in LA! Theres a good selection of cat eye polishes and glitters. This tells me that they are up to date with the latest trends! The salon set up itself is really reminiscent of Vietnam nail shops (if you've ever been to a nail salon in Vietnam you'll know what I'm talking about). I also love the fact that they keep the door open because I'm sensitive to smells. There's no polish or acetone smell that gets trapped inside here since the door is open!! read more

Amazing amazing ! Love it here ! I definitely recommend this spot ! 10/10. Their gel x nails last me over a month. No lifting, no breaks, no nail polish has been fallen off. I usually always come here every 2 weeks. The vibes are great here as well. They have a restroom that's always nice and clean. They never disappoint. Prices are really good compared to other spots here in dtla read more

My service was on 1/26/25 and I reached out on 2/7/25. I was told I would receive a call back regarding next steps but then did not. I called back on 2/8/25, and was still told there would be a fee for a fix. On the phone I was told there was a 10 day policy for free fixes. When I left a yelp review, was told there is a 14 day policy. I have photos from 2/3 already showing chips but was out of town. Both calls were within the 14 day policy and yet no free fix or other reimbursement. The total for my gel manicure and regular pedicure was $140 with tip read more

I've had their spa no 3 pedicure a couple times now, and they've done a pretty good job overall both times. I didn't make an appointment with anyone specific...I just went with whoever was available. The whole experience includes soak, scrub, soak, scrub, callous removal, hot stone and massage, wax, etc...they really do pamper your feet. It's also pretty nice inside and the chairs are comfy. Kate Y went with me both times for the spa no 3 pedi, but she also had them do her toenails with premium gel polish plus rhinestones...they did a really good job and her nails looked super pretty! Nail Box does a great job pampering your feet with the spa no 3 pedicure...it's not the cheapest option at Nail Box (they have several different options including a basic pedi) but your feet will thank you! They also validate parking if you ask. read more

Annie is the best! She is meticulous and takes her time but the nails came out so good and I got so many compliments on them that I had to circle back and say something! The service requested was gel x square nails with the new cat eye color. Always love the ambiance and Vibe of the place and will be coming again! Thx read more

My nail broke and ripped into the pink part of my nail (no blood just needed to seal the broken part) I saw that this place was around the corner and took walk ins so I headed over in hopes to get my nail fixed or at the very least glued so that it wouldn't rip any further. I walk into the store and the first question was asking if I got my nails done here - I didn't, so they refused to help me with my ripped nail because they don't work on nails not done by them . So I asked if they had any nail glue I could buy to seal the ripped nail but they didn't have any glue. The front desk lady was kind but it sucks that they refused to fix a painful ripped nail just because it wasn't done by them. :/ pain read more

I have been coming to Nailbox LA for 2.5 years and it is my go-to nail salon. They have an amazing color collection and always provide excellent service, listening to my specific needs (ex. I have very sensitive cuticles that cannot be trimmed deeply). read more

I love my nails! I live super close and forgot about this place honestly but I finally decided to try them out. It was really easy to make an appointment online. I got a gel manicure. The nail person, Anh Le, did a really good job. It was literally and figuratively a painless experience. Downsides: there's no service inside of the shop. I didn't really need to use my phone during the appointment but when trying to til via Venmo I had to step outside. It's also on the expensive side. According to the list of services it was $45 for the manicure and $5 to remove my precious gel manicure. But I was charged $52 so maybe the prices online haven't been updated. It's been a week and my nails still look fantastic so *shrugs* maybe it's worth the price (I hope). I'd definitely come back! read more

In the end I loved my nails. However it took 2 full hours to get a gel mani and pedi (despite having scheduled an appointment), cost nearly $200 and the nail techs were not gentle. For the mani, she kept bending my hands to get to my nail bed in a way that was painful. For the pedi, she broke my skin and now I worry I could get an infection. She told me to use neosporin when I got home--not sure why she didn't give me any there? I was late for my appt. at that point and didn't get a chance to press her. read more

This is my goto neighborhood nail spot. It's super easy to get an appointment, you can call them and they usually have availabilities. It's located in the One Santa Fe complex and they have a parking lot as well which is great for downtown. The staffs are always friendly and professional. The price is reasonable for downtown! read more

Unfortunately I'm going to have to knock off 1 star due to them changing your nail tech. I book an appointment with certain nail techs that I have had in the past & they will initially confirm it. Only to later change the nail tech without a reason. It's a nuisance because I will book a nail tech that I've previously had & liked their work. This has happened 2 times. The first time it happened, I wanted to let it slide. Just a heads up in case this happens to you!! read more

Not a real nail salon. Expensive and they don't even have actual massage chairs for pedicures, instead they bring you out a bucket of warm water. Not worth it. read more

I was reluctant at first to pay such a hefty amount for my nails and feet but I would say it was worth the price. My nails last for a little over a month and no breaks. Overall, I was satisfied with the service and my nails. read more

As soon as I sat down I was pressured into paying $15 dollars to remove my nail polish! Why they would do that to a first time customer is beyond me. Was I suppose to know that I would be charged for something so routine! Anyway. The seating isn't as comfortable as it is cute, where the foot tubs are. I prolly won't return. I thought more of this place because of location, but it's just a regular old nail shop. read more

Vy is so amazing, she kills it every time!! I get Gel X and I am extremely picky about my nails but I know she will do perfect. She makes it comfortable for me to give my opinion and I always leave happy :) read more

I usually stop in here when I'm in a pinch because it's in a convenient location and I usually can get in last minute. They have a decent range of colors to choose from and the staff are all friendly. I deducted a star because it usually takes a little longer than I'm used to at this salon and I haven't ever left loving my nails unfortunately. With that being said I would return because sometimes it's too difficult to make it to my usual nail salon and I appreciate the convenience. read more

I walked in for a gel manicure and was in and out in less than an hour! I really appreciated that the doors are kept open for air flow. It was a hot day and they had the AC running but kept the doors open for extra COVID safety. Lots of hand sanitizer throughout the shop and plexiglass walls to keep you and the technicians safe. Vy was excellent! She took her time and was very patient and made sure my nails were perfect. I always get nervous when my cuticles are being pushed back and cut away but she was very skilled and focused. I will be back to see her. Check the pics for my mani! Love a good neutral. Thanks Nail Box for the efficient and excellent job. read more

I needed a quick manicure for work and made a same day appointment. When I ended up nearby a lot earlier than my appt, I dropped in to see if they could take me earlier. They were so sweet working it out and did a great job. I love that they open up the door so you don't get trapped in a room that smells like chemicals. Will def come back! read more

I tried out this spot because I'm not from the area.. I was nervous because any time you try out a new spot it can be risky. Annie did my nails, she absolutely crushed it. Not only that, she was helping out around the salon on top of servicing me. 10/10 would recommend, ask for Annie. read more

One of the only nail salons I know of in downtown LA that offers consistent good service. Some technicians are a lot friendlier than others. I need to start asking names for future reference because I usually just see whoever's available. The space is like a loft and opens up like a garage door so there's always fresh air and plenty of room. read more

Obsessed. I loved my last nail place but I've moved and it's just too far. I've only ever loved two nail places in my life. I don't think I'm that picky but most are just ok and I deal. Make that three and this is THE BEST my nails have ever looked. I was worried because the base prices are a bit high but with the extras I used to get it's about the same honestly. The space is super cute in a nice shopping center. The big garage door makes it feel very open and airy. And the gel colors! Excellent! Sana gave me an excellent pedicure with a little salt scrub and great massage. Annie gave me the best set of my life! I've never had gel x and my expectations were low based on the ads to buy a kit online. The tips are pre shaped so it's easy to get exactly even nails without hours of filing. She did the absolute best manicure before to ensure a clean surface. No one has ever cleaned my cuticles like that! Overall I used to pay about 200 at my old place and with tip it was exactly 200 here and better results. Treat yourself! read more

Positive Update- They told me they'd re-do my nails at no cost and agreed the work was not up to par. I HIGHLY recommend seeing tech, VY, she is the one who I had an amazing first experience with and was the one who saved the day! Nails in Brown is her work and she made me so happy. She does excellent work and communicates well. Services are pretty expensive here but it's only because of Vy and Annie that I may decide to come back. It's also very close to my Pilates studio. Thank you Nail Box for understanding and fixing the issue! read more

By far the best nail salon I have visited! I decided to check this nail salon out based on some YouTuber's recommendations and I was very impressed! They have two hour free parking inside the lot if you visit the nail salon. The shop is super cute inside, decor feels very modern and it's pretty clean inside! It smells really nice too- surprisingly not like nail polish! And they always offer free water or green tea- take advantage! Their nail selection is endless! I usually go for an Essie polish and I'm always pretty satisfied with the turn out. Prices are on the cheaper side for this nail which is a huge plus! They also focus on detail and intricate nail designs. I would totally check this place out! read more

Poorly run and horrible customer service. Received a promotion from the landlord for $50 and when I went to pay they refused to accept my coupons, threatened to take my polish off and made me feel uncomfortable for having a promotional coupon. I refused to pay full price so they told me to leave and that I wasn't welcome back. Update: got my nails done on a Sunday (gel) , they are already cracking and chipping off - 5 days later. Poor quality product and customer service. Should be a negative review. read more

I had such a lovely time here ! Vy was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process (first time getting my nails done), super detail oriented, and really took her time. Photos are immediately after & 3 weeks later, would definitely recommend anyone to give them a try. It was a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion :) read more
