I didn't get my nails done myself but Adaline gave her 10 stars! She feels much better about starting kindergarten next week. Leha was very nice and made this trouble maker feel very comfortable and made sure she had fun. I could probably use a little TLC next time. She was immediately available and we had a great experience, will definitely repeat and recommend. They have underground parking off of Atlantic if you cannot find street parking. It's right next to the bank there. read more

Nails By Leha - Sparkly pink and purple for this little 5 year old. - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

She. Is. Amazing. 10 stars, 10. Not five stars, 10. As long as I live within an hour, I will not go to anyone else again. She is so detailed and so amazing at her craft. I don't think I have a single flaw (on my nails). I've been getting my nails done for 20 years, and this is the best I've had. She's one of the coolest women I've talked to in a very long time. Absolutely hilarious. If you know how to not be self-important, you will adore her. She's got it, she gets it. So freaking detailed. read more

I found Leha online while in Covid after businesses opened and my nails were looking raggedy. She is a sole proprietor so gives you her full attention. She is funny, engaging and professional. She is a perfectionist about her work and makes sure you leave looking great. Whenever she does my nails, I get numerous compliments. I even get stopped on the street by men and women who notice my nails. read more

Nails By Leha - Once again, Leha did a GREAT job. I going with a general idea and she gets very creative!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Leha is by far one of the greatest people I've come across. Not only is she skilled in her line of work, but if you take a moment to hear her speak you'll learn she defines the American dream. She is the only employee at the salon which makes it feel like a private experience and helps with my social anxiety. She's also honest with no filter, which is my favorite kind of people. When it comes to her work, Leha is simply a hardworking perfectionist that gets the job done right. My nails were horrible when I first visited Leha, about two and a half years ago. I never even thought about seeing another manicurist since that day. I make it a point to see her every 4 weeks for dip powder. My biggest tip is to make sure to make an appointment, walk ins are welcome but talent like this is rarely free on the spot. read more

Leha is exactly what the positive reviews say. Engaging, kind, funny, and an amazing manicurist! She listens to what you want, and makes sure to deliver. You won't regret coming here. I was debating keeping her to myself! read more

Leha is phenomenal. As a new resident of the LBC, I found her in a Google search. Her consistently good reviews are not fabricated or exaggerated...she's the real deal! I went in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but she suggested acrylic tips with powder dip. It wasn't cheap ($50), but it was worth every penny. It was my first time ever getting artificial nails, but she did such a great job, one can't tell they're not real (wish I had a before pic). Leha takes her time, so I don't recommend soliciting her services if you're in a rush. She is funny, engaging, and energetic, and gave me one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. She works solo, so I recommend booking at least a week in advance to get in her chair. Can't wait to go back! read more

Found this little Gem of a place on yelp. Leah works in small little shop. It is just her. She is very sweet and funny little lady. She helps you choose your colors and makes great suggestions. My nails were ugly because i had to take of the old nails i had. But when i came to her she fixed them. I wish i had a before and after. But it was too late when that thought came to mind. She takes her time and is by appt only. Which i greatly appreciate. I will be going back. Thanks Leah. read more

Nails By Leha - color in princess pink and some glitter - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I moved to Long Beach a year ago. I always had trouble finding a good nail lady. Most of the time they never get the shape right, or rush through you to get to the next client, or just don't genuinely care. I am an incredibly busy woman, so when I get my manicures and pedicures, it's time for me to relax and enjoy myself! It's my self care time, so it is extremely important to me. Leha has made that time so much more enjoyable. She is so careful in EVERY SINGLE STEP of the process. She's a perfectionist, which I am too, so it's nice that I can trust her. The first time she ever did my nails I just KNEW she would be my official nail lady. I ALWAYS get compliments on my nails. So many people ask me about Leha and for her information because they love my nails. And she is soooo funny! Which makes getting my nails done even more fun. Thank you so much for all you do Leha! You're the best! read more

I love going to Leha's Salon! I have been going to Leha since I first move to Long Beach and refuse to go anywhere else . It's just her in there but she does a great job.

Here's an example of the great work she's done . I usually get dip on my natural nails . read more

Leha, is amazing!!!! She takes pride in her work and my nails are perfect every time!!! It is impressive to find such an amazing manicurist ....... read more

BAD SERVICE. Terrible older lady. Very rude. Does not do a good job and would not recommend. I have gave her multiple chances and she's either falling asleep, making you feel obligated to keep her awake by coversating with her and then blame you for her hurting/cutting you with the nail drill. Nails do not last, I have to come back multiple times for her to fix my nails. When you tell her anything she screams at you and makes you feel very uncomfortable, she will tell you "THIS IS JUST THE WAY I TALK" and she will blame you instead of blaming herself. No one likes to be screamed at like that, especially while pregnant. This all has happened multiple times and I thought maybe she just had a bad day but this is just the way she is... Today I've had enough. NEVER coming back here. Please do not come here. She will argue with you and she will take at least 2 and half hours to do the simplest, shortest nails. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Rude, disrespectful of my 93 year old mother. Treated her like a child. She's unworthy of your business. Don't bother patronizing her.

She is a sweet and funny woman as well. I enjoyed my experience. I also loved that she has different colors and designs on her own nails. It was great to see the cat eye design on her first.

Leha is so nice and does a great job! Her prices are very reasonable too! Her studio is rather small, not over the top or fancy, squeezed into someone else's hair salon and does all the work herself, so can only accommodate one person at a time.

Leha is AMAZINGLY GREAT! I'm from WA state visiting Long Beach. I needed a fill, I googled local nail salons and hers popped up. She had a 4.5 star rating on google with lots of reviews. Let me tell you they were not wrong. She did not disappoint at all. My nails look amazing! She was very meticulous and took her time. I will most definitely be going back to her when I'm in Long Beach, which is pretty often. If you haven't been you most definitely should. read more

Nails By Leha - Glitter gel nails by Leha - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I don't know why I waited so long to have my nails done by Leha. Her salon is two blocks from my home. I called on Saturday and she was able to fit me in last minute. I had the best pedicure ever, and my toes look beautiful! Her prices are excellent too. Thank you, Leha! read more

Maybe mine was an isolated experience, but nevertheless, it was my experience, and it was regrettable and u must be warned. I scheduled a gel mani/pedi, based upon Yelp reviews(huge mistake, damn u, Yelp !). But in Yelp's defense, the reviews are dated, and I chose to roll with it, assuming Leha had a steady clientele--- sign me up! The place is cute, quaint, good location, and exactly the reason why I support small business. I'm new to the area and chose this place based on ratings, location, and business type...however, I should have paid attention to the red flags before walking out. See below: 1) She wrapped my nails(standard for gel removal, no biggie), but left them on for the duration of my pedi---1 hr & 15 minutes. My finger tips sat, wrapped in acetone and cotton for over an hour, for the duration of my pedi. Not cool. Fingertips were pruned and dried out, upon removal. p.s. Never have my nails soaked for more than 15-20 minutes max. Mind you, she did tell me at the end of the prep, that my pedi(before I knew that I would be frying) would be $30. Not a problem. A-ok, for a good pedi. But I had no idea what I was in store for. 2) As I sat and fried my fingers, in the "spa chair" for my pedi. (Mind u, I work 50+ hours a week, and live for this bi-weekly experience, so trust me, I have no problem paying for it.) The much anticipated massage chair was non-existant. Literally. THE MOST GENERIC CHAIR IN LIFE. There is no roller, and the vibration, which was the only movement that I could actually feel was annoying at best. But I hung in there! I'm not a jerk, and I will forgo frills for quality. Just make me look preeettttttty. 3) Everything appeared to be standard, absolutely nothing speacial, (fyi- drill used on callus removal-worthy of notation, as this is gross and highly unsanitary,) but I don't suck, and so we are on to the good part---the foot massage. Bring it home, mama! But this was the kicker for me. Leha was literally nodding out. I thought maybe it was just a quick nod, as that happens to the best of us at work, but she continued to nod out on the other foot, to the point where she had to stop the pedi and get a piece of gum, so that she could stay awake and finish the job. At this point, I was actually concerned for her. Is she ok? Is she on medication that makes her drowsy? Who knows? Really?But she kept at it, like a regular day. So still, I rocked with it---hesitantly. 4) Then came the polish---and the coup de grâce. Never in my 20+ years of nail service have I EVER had a nail tech paint my toe nails, get nail polish all over the skin and sides of the nail, and have a cup of acetone to clean up the mess ---AFTER EVERY TOE. WHATTTT?!?!? Who does this???? Yes, clean up the spots that have been left after the 1st two coats before the top coat, no worries. But, literally after EVERY. SINGLE. TOE. ON. BOTH. COATS. This is why the pedi was an hour and fifteen. Because it wasn't for the attention to detail, or extra massage , that is for damn sure. What the hellll?!?!?! Who does that? It was awful. She literally painted my TOE, with zero disregard, knowing that she was going to clean it up, after the fact. SERIOUSLY? Who has that kind of time? I don't. That's what I used to do when I gave myself my own pedi, and cleaned up the mess in the shower the day after, at 15 years old before I could afford a pedi. Excuse me?! Clearly this was the last straw. UN-BE-LIEVABLE. NEVER AGAIN . Please note that I feel absolutely horrible for writing this review, andI truly feel bad for another person on their day off, such as myself, hoping to have an enjoyable relaxing experience, and will in turn waste their time and money here. Leha, although you may have cool "powder nails" that you tried to sell me on for $45 a set before I walked out of there with bare nails. Your nail game is completely unacceptable. You are a very nice lady, and I liked you, however, this was hands down a complete waste of my time, money, and patience. Time & money being the biggest factors. Money is trivial, but quality and time I will compromise. Whoever your clientele is, I hope you are grateful for them, and keep them close, because for the rest of us, I strongly advise going elsewhere. There is no other option. Good luck . read more

I came to Leha this week because they messed up my nails at a different place. She was very professional and took me in last minute. It's difficult to take someone else's work and make it your own but like a true artist, Leha worked her magic on my nails. She took something awful and turned it into a beautiful masterpiece. I am sure that they will look even better when I come back and she can work on a blank canvas. She takes her time and makes sure that everything looks perfect. I really appreciated her help fixing my nails and highly recommend her work. read more

I have gone to several different nail salons being very unhappy after each. They just don't listen to you when you say you want your nails to look natural and not thick.

I am so happy and would recommend her to anyone searching on Yelp for somebody who really does a great job! read more

This is by far the BEST pedicure experience I've ever had. Entertaining, engaging, and she took time to get to know the quirks in my feet.

After my first visit, I wrote an incredible review. I was really impressed with her work. Then I returned for another appointment and she kept nodding off. Thought she must just be really tired. A couple more visits confirmed that this was not an isolated incident. She nods off whenever it's time to paint my nails or do a foot massage. On my last visit, she brushed paint all over my toes and spilled it on my shoe and didn't even acknowledge it. Not sure working with tools is such a good idea if she has a condition such as narcolepsy or something. read more
