Once my go to spot went out of business due to covid, *sad face* I decided to come back here after 10 years and i am so glad i did because they NEVER disappoint. It's definitely pricey but you're paying for quality. Literally anything you want, they got you. It is always packed too but somehow I never wait more than 10 mins before I'm seated. read more

I really hate to do this but it unfortunately this is what it has come down to...I feel so ripped off. I used to come here about 4 years ago every week FAITHFULLY! I would spend over 100 every week and my nails were good, not perfect but decent and better than any other place I tried. My friend started doing my nails and I stopped coming here up until a few days ago...I got my gel x tips removed, and I did a new full set of acrylics. to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement...I drive all the way from Calabasas to pay over 100 for a set where all nails are different lengths, shapes and widths. Not to mention, Jennifer filed my nails so damn thin the acrylic just broke from me putting a ROBE ON!!! My nail is raw and bloody now....I'm never coming back here again, I should've listened to my friends when they warned me about the fungus they got on their toe and finger !!!!! Never AGAIN! read more

Wow, gotta give it to Pampered Hands for being creative with continuing their business while being Covid safe. I was so impressed with their outside setup and safety (temperature check, health questionnaire, gloves to touch polishes). This place is great, they have a lot of stations, an endless assortment of gel and regular polish colors and my manicure was great. My lady was kind and thorough. 5 start experience and great job with being creative! read more

Super pleased with the design of my nails. I asked for something very specific and Nathalie helped me achieve it. She gave me good advices about the shape of my nails and the color. She did mess up 2 of my nails and she knows it but we were already too far in the process to start over. Nothing major but it's not perfectly perfect. On the negative side, it lasts very long. I stayed there almost 2hours and a half doing pedi + mani! And it's on the pricey side: 98$ for both. I did dip powder + gel on top, and regular on my toes. I'll come back! read more

Love this place! All of the staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. They have a large selection of colors to choose from, and they are always super fast and efficient. The only downfall is that it is only a cash only business so be prepared to use the ATM inside the shop if you don't have cash on you. read more

I've been going to this salon for years for gel mani and pedis! I got acrylics for the first time in years when I was back home so I went to Pampered Hands for a fill + color/design change. I showed the nail tech an example pic of what I was looking to have done and they were able to do my nails exactly like the reference photo! I can't stop lookin' at them they're sooo cute!! the nail tech that I was paired with paid very close attention to detail and made sure that everything was smooth and even and perfect! very happy. This is a great spot. It's super busy, literally at all hours of the day, even on week days. I've always been able to come in as a walk in. I think i've only called ahead maybe 3 times since I first started coming here 3 years ago? I may have had to wait like 15-20 min a few times. There was only one time I remember they were completely booked and weren't able to take me when I tried to come in as a walk in. They're always efficient and i've never had any problems or bad experiences or bad manicures or pedicures. There's always free water bottles, candy, snacks, chips, boba. Whenever I come here with my boyfriend for a pedi this is the best part of it all lmao!! Valet is really convenient especially if you're running late or can't find street parking. If you come in the middle of the day on a weekday you'll have more luck with street parking. Prices - The regular mani + pedi with regular polish is really cheap. The gel mani + pedi is way more expensive. I'm not sure what the price is for a full set + color/design but it's probably REALLY expensive because I already had a full set, I just needed a fill and color + design change which was $75 + $10 tip. Worth it? Personally I think it is because for the past 3 years, i've always left a happy customer. I included 2 pix from today. My nails came out amazing!! read more

gotta say i was a little skeptical of this place at first because of all the bad reviews on yelp .. but my friend swore by this place so i decided to take the chance and MAN I AM SO HAPPY I DID! Tiffany was my technician and she KILLED THE GAME. They came out almost IDENTICAL to the picture i showed her (my skin is a lighter color so we used a lighter color nude), and i couldn't be happier. She was so meticulous and detail oriented it made me soooo happy. There was a complimentary neck massage that was AMAZING, and she gave me a hand massage at the end. It was $40 for a full set and i went with gel polish so it would stay shinier longer. $70 in total honestly that's an amazing price pic with rings was inspo read more

I definitely understand the mixed reviews. I was in and out for a mani pedi in 30 minutes. Don't come here if you want to relax. If you're looking for something quick, this is the place. Efficiency is their game. We had appointments at 11 and were seated at 11:20. I was celebrating a birthday, so asked that me and the birthday girl could be seated together. That didn't happen until someone got up and then they moved my friend closer... a little odd. They definitely talk about you while you're sitting right there, but that's a nail salon staple. They were asking each other how much I tipped each of them, which I found to be super unprofessional and a major turn off. They also state that they are cash only and give you a hard time if you try to use a card... while the credit card machine is completely in sight. They just keep pointing to the ATM. I told them they could absolutely charge the 5% credit card fee to my card, no problem. At that point, they willingly charged my credit card without the 5%. Interesting. The one perk is they will bring you a complimentary blended boba drink. It's a small, nice refresher -- especially while you wait. Experience: 2 stars. Quality of mani/pedi: 3 stars. I've had better and worse, but I have to say it's been a few days and my polish still looks impeccable, so I can't complain. read more

First time back since covid-19. It's set up at the back of the shop in the parking lot area. No appointments at this time. all walk-in only. I didn't wait at all but I did go around 11am. Loved the service and it felt great to get pampered. Covid-19: they have you fill out a questionnaire regarding covid etc. take your temp and hand sanitizer available. Prices went up slightly but totally understandable. If you frequent getting your nails done get the stamp card! read more

So happy this place is open , they took everything out into the parking lot , mimi did an amazing job she was so nice , they clean each area after they're done. It's pricey but all nail shops prices have gone up, definitely worth the price. read more

Went in on 2/18. This place treated me weird because I went in for a Pedi. I had a very weird vibe. The best part is A few days later my big toe had a burning sensation, got it checked looks like an infection started! Skip this place if you can read more

This place is always packed but not because they are good at what they do but because they are over rated! Not friendly at all and hyped up prices for a shitty job The last time I was there my toe nail got infected from 2 different sides I was cut twice and it ended up infected 3 days later Never coming here again! Also why pay $50 for a gel pedi when you can pay $32 for a gel pedi and have the same or better work done?! read more

Chichi did a wonderful job on my fill. Her work was pretty much perfect. Her shaping is perfect and she works pretty fast. I was in and out within 45 minutes. They are very pricy, for a fill with regular gel and cuticle trim cost me $60. I don't mind paying for quality but $60 is steep for a fill. I should have inquired about the price prior to the service but overall I'm happy with her work. read more

Update for y'all: I went back on Monday. I was too unsatisfied to let it go. I arrived unannounced around 10am. I knew I would have to face the nasty gaze of Mimi while another nail tech corrected her mistake. I didn't look for MiMi when I walked in. I waited at the front for someone to help me for a couple of minutes. No one came, but a tech giving a pedicure asked me what I needed. I told her that Mimi did my nails on Friday and they didn't look good. I showed her how the lines weren't neat and she examined them. I asked who I can speak to to correct this issue. Then she says, " well tell her to fix them." I was a little taken aback since she went on to examine them and ask questions, but had me finish the job she started. I told her that I don't see Mimi... but once I spotted her I told her it looked like she was busy with another customer. The lady then gets up without saying anything to me and walks to the back speaking in their language to Mimi. MiMi spots me and said "Hi love. How can I help you?" I walk over to her and tell her that I don't like my nails and the lines aren't neat. I show her her work. She changes her demeanor. She says "well why you say it was ok on Friday" Me: I didn't say it was ok. You didn't ask me. Mimi: when I finished I said okay? Me: no you didn't. You were very busy on Friday. Her: well I don't have time to fix it someone else will have to fix. Me: that's fine with me. That's what I initially asked the other lady. I walk away and she calls her next customer. Again, taken aback by the lack of even mediocre customer service. Kelly helped me and while Kelly and another tech spoke in a whisper together, I hear Mimi in the background talking shit, I assume (for like a cool 15 minutes on and off). I had Kelly give me a basic gel coat of orange, tipped her a 20, and was on my merry way. -updated nails below. read more

The quality of their work has gone downhill. It doesn't matter how much you spend there and how many times you go they will treat you like a criminal. I think there's other places that are way better by now. They do shitty work at times and expect a huge tip. Ladies don't feel pressured to tip them. They will have her over here if you allow them to.3.5 read more

I've been coming here for years! I love this place. I don't know what it is about them. Idk if it's bc they walk around handing out boba, or the mini fridge that's stocked with bottled water and diet cokes. Or it be the bags of chips that my son loves to grab while he waits with me. Maybe just maybe it can be the work that they do. I'm never disappointed (unless I veer off to someone else that ain't on my list of go to's.) pedicures always come out clean. Mani's always come out cute. And it really makes you happy about spending money here. I get upset when I try to find a place closer to me. (Only for convenience) But I always manage to come here. I have gone to others no one compares to Pampered. Granted you have to speak up and let them know what you want. And show pics. They don't get upset. Like they know they're on Melrose and it's LA. So they don't get all pissy about it. BE NICE ABOUT IT THOUGH! Don't be a SASSY HOE BITCH either. They do get hella busy. So come on a day you don't mind waiting and don't have anywhere to go right after. Or just make an appointment. Covid 19 precautions are all A-1! read more

This place is the best if you know who to go to. Melinda is amazing but you have to book her in advance. The two times before my last appointment I was a walk in and didn't get to see Melinda and my Gel Manicure peeled within a week but just one finger which looked horrible so I had to get them all redone. They have a great selection of colors, more than most salons which I truly appreciate. Parking isn't the easiest but it's doable. There is free parking around the neighborhood streets. Also- A special shout-out to the owners husband who is so sweet and makes everyone boba teas and gives them away for free!!!! You're the cutest! read more

Totally lost my business!!! Do not go to nail tech named KELLY. She was rude and aggressive AF! removing my old acrylics. Let alone she almost ripped off my left pinky nail and she still couldn't take off a small piece of the old acrylic and I had to do it myself trying to be careful. She was also rough when filing them down and just seemed like she just wanted to get the job done. Moving forward...I go to another nail salon referred by a friend last Wednesday and the guy tells me after removing Kelly's BS work that I have a fungus on that same left pinky. The only finger that Pampered Hands can work on is my middle finger cause that's what their gonna see!!!...SMH Never again. read more

I had to come here twice to truly see how superior this nail salon is compared to others in the surrounding area (as far as quality of manicures). Both times I've been here I came as a walk in and was greeted and seated immediately- like they are on it so quick you can't even look at all the gel colors they have! There are a LOT of employees here, more than I've ever seen at any salon but I feel like that's why they are so quick. Since there's so many people inside it can seem chaotic but i could care less - all I come for is a good mani/pedi. I got acrylics the first time and the lady spent her time and shaped my nails so beautifully. I went back the second for a fill and am even happier than the first time, they look so amazing! I will definitely only be coming here now. read more

Atmosphere 5/5 Staff Friendliness 2/5 Service 3/5 Pricing 2/5 I've been coming here for about 2 1/2 years now. It's always difficult trying to book an appointment. So I walk in and wait. I always get treated like I don't matter when I'm talking to the owner. Idk if it's just her lack of personality or Customer service but she doesn't make me or anyone I bring feel welcome. I put up with the discomfort & lack of professionalism because my nail tech Yvonne is amazing and makes up for it. My Gel Manicure with design has be $45 for the past 2 1/2 years. Then My nail tech recently quit so I tried still going & the price was $46 so I just tipped her a $1 less to make up the mistake. This most recent visit I got the same design and was charged $48 when I brought it to the owners attention and asked if the prices are going up she said no. So I asked why my pricing had fluctuated recently since Yvonne left. She fed me some BS about it's the design. I only get a line across 4 of my nails & I have been doing this for over 2 years always the same. Which means the price shouldn't change. I told her that I don't like the inconsistency and the new tech messed up my nail. She tried blaming me for picking out the color stripe but I told her the tech did that not me & the. Tried convincing me that it my my eyesight and there was nothing wrong and I told her I wasn't color blind ma'am, you want to play games and charge people whatever you want then you can fix my nail or I'm not paying. She fixed my nail while all while giving me attitude and talking about me in her language. So rude & unprofessional! I'm paying for a service not for her to be annoyed, if she doesn't want to be at the host stand then she should stay home! read more

First time here after a few years and wow! I finally remember why I stopped coming! The people who work here have 0 respect for their clients' time. We called and asked if we can come in for 3 pedicures , they said we would wait for 20-30 minutes, when we came in they said the same amount of time so we walked around and came back after 20 minutes, after we came back we waited for 50 more minutes. The manager was trying to ignore us so that we won't ask her when she can sit us, absolutely horrible. Also a bunch of people who came in after us were seated before us. If you don't schedule appointments don't lie to people about the waiting time! WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE! read more

I called to schedule an appointment and I misspoke and the lady put me on speaker and started laughing at me.

I am very critical of nails techs and how I want my nails done. Of course Melrose practically only has mattered parking so be prepared for that or get lucky on a side street. But I took a leap of faith before all of corona virus quarantine begins. Truc did my nails and she did a PERFECT job I couldn't complain. I paid $40 for a gel mani read more

Just an update to say that, I've been other places in LA over the years, had a few long runs with other nail techs not here, but the consistency of the quality at Pampered Hands cannot be beat. I love this place! I just saw a semi-recent bad review that said the prices aren't listed, and that's never been true in my 10 years of coming here. There's always been a flyer/pamphlet on the front desk, and while the price of a gel mani/pedi has gone up slightly (everywhere...?) I go about every other month and the base price here hasn't changed. (there are different surcharges for different designs if the painting or application is special, that might be what that person experienced ‍) read more

I've been coming in here regularly for the past year 2x a month. This Nail Salon only cares about beating time, don't come here for quality or Relaxing. They don't speak English or try to. Only the manager (DINA) and a very few will understand what you're saying. Every time I go there I ask them to shorten my nails because I don't want them to break. And I swear EVERY TIME they act like they don't understand. I literally GAVE UP. 4 days ago I went in to get my nails refilled with gel after it crack in the middle and I wanted it to be shorter. (MINH) is nail tech who didn't even speak English, did her own way of how she think my nails should be: long, brittle, but pretty enough for her. 3 days later MY NAIL CRACKS IN THE MIDDLE from scratching my skin!!! I literally was just scratching my skin. That's how thin they filed the middle of my nails! And it cracked and it's very painful. I'm literally debating on cutting that nail myself and going about my very busy day OR stopping by their salon to have them fix it because I paid 50$ for just that refill and still tipped her!!. No QUALITY at all! read more

I've come here a couple of time and I usually really like the way they do acrylics, but today idk what happened. This review is just for the acrylics because my pedicure was great. The name of the lady that did is is Cathy (I think that's how you spell it) I can in to get a fill and to have my nails shortened. The first thing that bothered me was the fact that she filed my pinky nail way too much. I could feel the heat of the drill and the nail looks pink because it's practically just a little bit above my flesh. Also, she cut my twice with the drill. I had blood on my middle finger and the other pinky. She apologized but it didn't seem like she cared. And her nail painting skills are lacking too. The top coat isn't even and she didn't clean the edges as much as she should have. I was so pissed win the cuts that I just didn't even say anything to her anymore. When I went to let my nails dry I decided that I should make a big deal out of this because it's really not ok. So I went to the lady st the front and asked who did my acrylics and I told her about it. All she did was say sorry, but I stressed the importance of this issue because it's not ok for her to go around cutting people or drilling too much. I usually am pretty happy with this place, but damn today was ok. Please make sure you don't get Cathy if go come here. She'll hurt you. read more
