    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!

    I always come here to get my gel pedicures and I love it! Just make sure to make an appointment…read morebeforehand :) I can't remember the names of the previous people I've gotten but this most recent one, Linda did my gel pedicure. She was amazing and so kind! She kept checking up on me and making sure water temp was fine, my nail shape was fine before putting the polish on, and making sure the polish color was fine before completing my whole pedicure. Overall, I recommend!

    I've come here 7-10 times within the last 2 years. My most recent experience I felt scammed and…read moredisappointed regarding the communication and price point. I brought a friend for my birthday. I called and checked for availability ahead of time. I showed the front desk liaison 3 different designs. I communicated I'd want the least inexpensive one and I don't want nail art on each finger. They assured me the design would range from $35 or less especially since I'm not getting nail art on each finger. This seamed reasonable, but my friend and I left feeling SCAMMED. My friend and I's price both ended up being $110 (not including a tip). Which is outrageous because she got a different design on each finger!! I got chrome/cat eye and 1 or 2 stars on 4 nails total. They kept us past closing time, which is why we did not take the time to argue. Although, even two weeks later I look at my nails every day and I think..... my nails were not worth $110. The stars are smeared and it will never be worth $110. In the past, I've never paid more than $85 at this salon for gel-x (no take off) with a simple design. I even checked online to verify design minimum and maximum price ranges. At most, I should have paid $90. My friend got an acrylic fill with a design and she also feels like she over paid with how inconsistent the line work is and.. IT WAS A FILL. I've recommended lots of friends here in the past, but it seems like they are kind to you so they can secretly increase the price. My friends that ended up going here, shared with me they will not go back because the pricing isn't fair. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're comfortable paying $110 minimum for anything nail related. What would have been better is communicating and itemizing why a design is at a certain price point. From what I see online pricing, I should have paid: $65 new gel-x (no take off) + $15 cat-eye + $10 1-2 stars on 4 fingers = $90 Where did the extra $20 come from??? I get this economy is different now, but I tipped $15 too. If I'm paying $125 for nails, the design should have reflected that. AND JUST TO CLARIFY THE MANAGER'S RESPONSE: NO ONE PAID $99!!!!!!! This response is a representation of their lack of accountability. This was my experience and Yelp allows you voice out about that.

    We had some time to kill while waiting for the little pup to get groomed. A couple doors down in…read morethe strip mall was this nail shop. Decent size parking lot out front and next door to two different coffee shop and juice shop. Right when we walked in, the gentleman was very sweet and friendly. Not sure if he was one of the nail tech or the manager in charge. Very friendly and welcoming. We wanted to check the menu before getting anything done as it was our first time here. If you know, we all tend to stick to our regulars with nails and any other services so trying something new was a little of a challenge. Decided to go for it and gave it a try. You start with checking in on the iPad at the front of the door. There's a little waiting area with a good amount of seating and where a good amount of the nail polish are housed. It was a few minutes till we were called. We both just wanted a pedicure and went with the spa pedicure. That came with all the trimmings of cut, file, clean, scrub and included an 8 minute foot massage with a misting machine. The two ladies that were taking care of us were sweet. Friendly and very detailed and professional. Before the service, they handed us the menu again to make sure we were getting the correct service. And during each service they would informed us what they were doing. Plus before the foot and leg massage, they showed us the timer so we can see it. The service was great and experience was excellent. It was quite busy which a lot seemed to be regulars that were visiting. All the ladies were very sweet and the place didn't feel stuffy one bit. Very clean and well organized. One side was where all the spa pedicure takes place. Everything was covered and cleaned before the service. The opposite side was where all the manicure tables are placed. Tables were next to each for the cohesive vibe. Behind them a massive wall of more polishes. Also there was a television which was great if you wanted to watch tv while your service. I believe they also had a waxing room in the back. Price wise for the spa pedicure service was 45.00 for everything. If you wanted French polish that was additional fee. Credit or cash payment accepted but if you pay cash, it was a little discount which was nice. The service was great. Friendly staff and well cleaned salon. Everyone was great and professional. A nice place and great experience for us. If we're in town again and need something done, we'll for sure be back.
