    Once again, Leha did a GREAT job. I going with a general idea and she gets very creative!!!
    Katee H.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Full set using powder dip.  Beautiful!

    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!

    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.

    I live in the Santa Monica area so it's difficult to come here but when I work in the area I make sure I stop by. Leha is very detail oriented and came in on an off day for me. Will definitely continue to come here when I'm in the area.

    recently just moved here to long beach all the way from san San Diego. I needed to find my new nail shop since i love getting my nails done, came across this little cute spot on yelp. I called made an appointment with leha and when i walked in i knew this was going to be my new spot. Leha is soo amazing, very funny lady her favorite word when she makes jokes is saying HELLO sarcastically. Felt very comfortable and she did a beautiful job with my nail. LOVE!!!

    Thank you Leha! I love my nails! Almond shape, white gel with an airbrush design on my pointer fingers.

    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!

    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. She is definitely a perfectionist and will have you walking out of her salon with the nails you want . She is not badly priced since she carries top of the line products . Here's an example of the great work she's done . I usually get dip on my natural nails .

    Very thin nice beautiful nails! Thank you:))

    Not only is Leha a sweetheart, she also does incredible nails! Super thin she has an excellent and I for detail I am very very happy!!!!! Love her thank you!

    Leha is delightful and her nail art talent is even better. I have gotten 1.bigillion compliments on my nails. Just see for yourself.

    I just moved to long Beach recently and have been to a few nail salons that make the nails really thick and ughhh. But here, she really knows how to make them look natural. 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. I NEVER leave reviews...but this salon deserves it. Thank you!

    Perfect for the holidays!
    Kati C.

    Update: Still in love with this little gem! Leha does the best job on my nails. She definitely goes above and beyond to work with her clients. Her prices are amazing and she does amazing nail art! Each time I get my nails done they seem to get better and better!

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

What I appreciate most is how transparent they are about pricing they always make sure you know if there are any extra charges before starting a service. Today, though, I witnessed something that really stood out and I was actually sitting right next to the customer the entire time. A girl came in and started complaining about the cost after her nails had already been started. From the beginning, her tone felt rude and dismissive. When the manager came over to help, she tried to calmly explain the pricing, but the customer kept interrupting and responding with a passive-aggressive attitude. At one point, she even told the manager to lower her voice in a disrespectful way, despite the manager remaining professional the entire time. To make things more uncomfortable, her boyfriend started adding his opinion, even though he had nothing to do with the service. Instead of helping de-escalate the situation, he made it worse by defending his girlfriend, even though she was clearly in the wrong. It would have been more appropriate to let the customer and the person in charge handle the situation directly. Another manager stepped in and patiently pulled up her past transactions to clearly show what had been charged before. They explained that sometimes removal fees are waived, but it's never guaranteed and they always communicate that upfront, which is something I've personally experienced and appreciated. Even after being shown proof, the customer continued to be upset and dismissive, saying things like, "Whatever, just finish my nails. I'll pay, but I'm never coming back." After all that I understand why staff didn't want to service her anymore. She left the place with nails on and she still didn't pay. The staff handled everything with patience and professionalism, even when faced with unnecessary rudeness.
