I have been getting hard gel manicures here for over a year and have never been disappointed. Aliyah is an amazing nail tech, she takes her time, is gentle and kind. Prices are on the higher end, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend this place. read more

The good: I was able to walk in on a Saturday morning (about 30 minutes after the opened) and immediately be seated for a gel pedicure. The nail tech was patient when I was deciding between colors, attentive when she was filing and painting by asking me if I was okay with the shape/color and did a great job filing and shaping. Overall, a good paint job! The not so good: This is a no frills pedicure. No massage chair. No callus buffing/removal. No jet pedicure tub. No massage. For $75 (before tip) I would've definitely preferred to have at least one of those services included. TLDR: Overall happy with my gel "pedicure". A bit high of a price ($75 for gel pedicure) in my opinion for what you get but good spot. read more

Ok, I've waited a while before writing this review. I'm gave Poppy Nails a few tries before giving my honest feedback. I'm happy to report that each visit left me satisfied and pleased with the results. I first heard about Poppy Nails from a friend who was raving about them and the Russian manicure they offer. My first two appointments were with Anna. I did Gel X for the first time after years of doing regular gel nails. I absolutely loved Gel nail extensions and kept getting them done with Olga and Anastasia. They all can do any design or nail art. I also got a pedicure here once and had a good experience. Poppy Nails is now my regular nail salon. Parking: metered street parking for only 1 hour max, or free parking in the streets in the back, just read the parking signs. Pricing: It's well known that Russian manicurists charge a bit more than at other places, but it's honestly worth it. I paid around $135-$140 for Gel-X (Gel-X usually is more expensive than regular gel nails), including take-off, designs, and chrome. The atmosphere is quiet, calm, and relaxed. Clean and not too fancy. read more

Love coming here! The attention to detail is incredible and I always leave feeling happy with how my nails turned out. The last few times I've gone, I got the gel manicure, which lasted a good time period! The nail techs here are super sweet & amazing as they pay close attention to each nail. The shape of my nail is always spot on perfection! Clean and cute vibe with calming music. They offer beverages which is such a sweet detail, I've had tea and champagne and both help me get into that self care mindset. There's limited meter street parking or free parking in the neighborhood if you don't mind a short walk. read more

Poppy Nails - Nails done by Elizabeth :) amazing! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was a little hesitant coming when i saw the regular manicure was $45 but i came with a friend who decided to give it a try and i was pleasantly surprised. The cuticle care i received was great and definitely some of the best I've gotten in LA to be honest. There was parking in the neighborhood so it wasn't too difficult but a bit of a walk. As someone who typically gets a gel manicure and pedicure monthly, I enjoyed it but don't know if i would make it a monthly transaction here price wise but still waiting to see how long it lasts and will update! If it lasts me a couple of weeks then I'd definitely consider! read more

This was my go-to nail salon since a few years ago, and always found the nail techs to be nice and very skilled. Last month, I got pink magnetic cat eye nails done and it was my absolute favorite. I returned today for a basic gel mani, but came out with all 10 of my fingers red and bleeding. Firstly, I made an appointment online for 6:30 today, but they called me and asked if they can move it to 7. I moved to a 7:15pm spot. When I arrived, they had me wait another 10 minutes. When my nail tech started working on my cuticles, I noticed how rough she was trimming them and kept making cuts to my skin. I pointed the bleeding to her a few times but she did not once apologize and would just smile and wipe the bleeding with cloth, but it was clearly not stopping. She also had AirPods in and I think she was watching something on her phone in the cart the entire time. I explained situation to the person at the front desk and she offered $10 off. She then saw how bad my fingers were so she put more ointment and offered $20 off. She took pictures and said she was going to inform the owner. I still paid $50 to get all of my cuticles cut up and come out with red, bleeding fingers. It's the first time something like this has happened to me at a nail salon, and I'm even more disappointed because this was the place I thought was the most reliable. I was willing to pay extra to come here because of their quality. I'm not sure if I want to return again because I don't want this happening again. UPDATE: They followed up on this post and gave me a full refund and asked me to consider removing this review. read more

I think this may have been the worst and most expensive gel manicure I've ever received. I want to start by saying the staff was very kind. When I walked in, they greeted me warmly and everyone there seemed friendly. Unfortunately, the quality of the service did not match the price. For reference, I came in to have builder gel removed, shorten my nails, and get a neutral gel polish. Normally, when you come in with builder gel and request a regular gel manicure, the builder gel is either soaked off or completely removed unless the client specifically asks to keep it. That was my expectation when I came in. When the technician began working on my nails, she immediately used the e-file to shorten them while the builder gel was still on. It felt a bit uncontrolled and unusual since the product hadn't been properly removed yet. She then began cutting my cuticles while the builder gel was still on my nails. After finishing my cuticles, she was about to apply nail dehydrator without buffing my nails or removing the remaining builder gel. At that point, I stopped her and asked when the builder gel would be removed. Two of my nails already had it fully removed because I had taken it off myself beforehand, so the remaining builder gel was sitting unevenly from the filing that had already been done. She told me it was better to leave the builder gel on my nails, but I explained that I didn't want that because I was concerned my nails would end up uneven or bulky. She seemed pretty set on leaving it, and I didn't want to go back and forth, but at that point I had a feeling my nails weren't going to turn out great. When she began applying the gel base, my nails still hadn't been properly cleaned. The only area that had really been cleaned were my cuticles, the undersides of my nails and the sidewalls were never cleaned out. She applied only one coat of color and then went straight into the top coat. I actually thought she was applying a second coat of color until I realized it was already the top coat. When I looked at my nails, they were uneven and some were noticeably thicker than others. I pointed out one nail that was especially bulky, and when she tried to fix it she used the drill on my natural nail instead of just filing the polish down. At that point, I was honestly just ready to leave. The technician herself was nice, and I don't think there was any bad intention...but if a salon is charging higher-end prices, the quality of the service should reflect that. I paid $70 for this gel manicure. I don't mind paying that much when the work is high quality, but unfortunately this experience was disappointing overall. Sadly, I don't plan on returning read more

This review is specifically for Sara. I've been going to this salon & seeing Sara for months now for Russian dry manicure hard gels - highly recommend!

Update: After my initial review, the manager reached out and offered to redo my pedicure at no cost. I went back, and had a different nail technician( Rashaun), who did a good job and the front staff expressed genuine remorse, which I appreciated. While my first experience was frustrating and poorly handled, I'm grateful they ultimately corrected the service. Initial review below: I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience needs to be shared. I went in for a $75 spa pedicure and tipped an additional $24 (well over 20%) because I initially wanted to show my appreciation. Within just 4-5 hours of leaving the salon, after nothing more than a short neighborhood walk, four of my toenails smudged badly. This wasn't due to "wearing socks" as the salon later claimed -- it was clearly because the technician ( Kamilia) applied an extra coat without allowing proper drying time between them. I immediately tried to resolve this. I called the salon multiple times around 8:30pm and even drove there after being told they were open until 9pm, only to find them closed. When I reached out again, I was told they don't guarantee regular polish and that I'd have to return almost immediately to fix it, otherwise they would refuse to help. This was not communicated at the time of service, and polish should last more than a few hours for a pedicure of this cost. After much back-and-forth, they reluctantly agreed to an appointment. Because I had gone out of town for the holiday weekend, I put a clear glitter coat over the smudged toes just to hide their mistake temporarily. When I returned, the salon told me they would only repaint two nails on each foot and leave the others as-is with the glitter -- unless I paid them an additional $20 to remove it all and repaint properly. In other words, they expected me to pay more to fix the flawed work I had already paid for. That kind of logic is absurd. Out of frustration with their unethical behavior and lack of communication, I walked out, with two toes now unpainted entirely. This is beyond disappointing. Instead of taking responsibility, they tried to nickel-and-dime and shift blame. For a business that charges premium prices, the lack of accountability and customer service is unacceptable. I've included photos here so that others can see the results of their so-called "spa pedicure." A $75 pedicure should not be smudging in under 5 hours, and no customer should be asked to pay again to fix mistakes caused by the technician. I will not be returning, and I urge others to avoid this salon. read more

I've got my nails done here at least 5 times. I've even been flexible with my appointments multiple times to accommodate them better. I usually like my manicure and I've even left them a positive review on google. This most recent time I got hard gel. If you have ever got hard gel you know that it doesn't peel off easily. Well I paid $110 excluding tip and they peeled off during two weeks, meaning some peeled off week 1. Last time they lasted 4-5 weeks. I called to allow them the opportunity to make things right and explained what happened. Instead of being concerned or apologizing or offering anything, the woman just defended why that could have happened. I didn't go in water more than usual or do anything different than I typically do for this to have happened. When I requested a discount to get another manicure she said she would have to call me back. It's been over 1 hour since I called and no call back. They just lost a loyal customer - although they don't seem to care. UPDATE: they didn't call but sent a quick text giving me 30% off. They are a joke ! Do not recommend read more

Go to Olga! This is my second time at Poppy nails, and I cannot recommend them enough. Olga did an incredible job on my gel X manicure. She put a lot of work in time into not only cleaning up my nails, but making sure that she painted them perfectly. Not only was Olga great, but so was the salon. They are very responsive on the phone, they offer you beverages when you arrive, and always have something great on the TV. I find their pricing to be very reasonable as well. Highly recommend! read more

Overpriced for mediocre pedicure. Went in for a simple gel pedicure and it took nearly two hours. I wish I was exaggerating. It was $75 and the "spa" treatment was soaking my feet for two minutes and doing a 1 minute scrub. 100% not worth it. read more

I love this nail salon! I have been a repeat customer since they opened a little over two years ago. It can definitely be hard to find a consistent nail salon that gives high quality services, but Poppy Nails is THE place for that. They genuinely care about your nail health, and take their time with you, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. You truly get what you pay for, and I have never regretted a service here. I could go on and on about every technician and how great they are. You can pick just about anyone for your service and they will absolutely meet if not exceed your standards. I cannot wait to come back and get them done again. read more

Poppy Nails - Gel nails -- special pink combo Anastasia and I came up with, insane cuticle work (dry/flaking skin is just me lol). - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

AVOID!! I came here for a pedicure, after seeing the good ratings on yelp. They charge $50 for a pedicure, but they do not scrub or remove the dead skin on your feet, no massage and did not even shape the nails before applying polish- Basically, they charged me $50 for painting my toe nails! Most importantly, THEY DO NOT STERILIZE THEIR TOOLS!!! Please avoid going here. Read all the comments and then go of you if want or risk your health. Update/ Response to owner: No, I am in the medical field, I know how instruments/tools should look if they are strained, they were not! Your personal don't even sanitize with alcohol the buffers etc or new used ones! You should be shut down!!! read more

This was my first time visiting this salon, and it was such a great experience! Usually getting a French manicure at a new place feels a little risky, but I decided to go for it and I'm so happy I did. I'll definitely be coming back from now on. My nail technician Oksana was incredibly patient and really paid attention to what I wanted. I was also a bit nervous about the removal because my nails are very sensitive and sometimes they get over-filed, which can be painful. But everything was done so gently and perfectly here. Thank you! You guys are the best! read more

Cute nail salon, very clean. Nail tech was very gentle with my nails and they look amazing.

I booked an appointment for a Russian manicure because I had never tried it and my natural nails needed a thorough treatment to help them grow. I actually liked the beginning of the service while she was doing the manicure, and I should have just followed my instinct and stopped there instead of agreeing to the add-on. Elizabeth pushed for Gel-X, and I agreed, but I made it clear that I wanted elegant, normal-looking nails. Instead, I walked out with thick, bulky nails I never asked for. When I pointed it out, she brushed me off saying "that's the style." It's not the style -- it's rushed, poorly fitted work. What really annoyed me is that while doing my nails, she was asking her friend if she could do her nails after mine. I'm sorry, but that's not professional -- especially when it felt like she was rushing just to finish me up so she could get to her friend. I paid $80 for nails that look cheap, like heavy press-ons, when all I wanted was a clean manicure. The color is beautiful, but the end result was rushed, disappointing, and nowhere near worth it. read more

Anastasia was amazing! She helped me choose the perfect color for my nails and they turned out great. Will be going back!

Sad to say I had a bad experience here after a year of going and loving it. I was clear about the color I wanted and shared several photos. The woman who did my toes warned me that the polish was different from my nail color request but I accepted it, mainly because I didn't see the colors together and it looked close. When it came time for the manicurist to do my nails she showed me three options, and the color I asked for initially just did not look right with my toes. She also pushed for the color that was what I had initially wanted and not the one that would match. They were completely different pinks, on different ends of the color spectrum. I chose the color with Olga after 2 min of not being sure, and she begrudgingly said she only has 10 min left to do my nails, so to hurry up and make a decision. (Btw I happily pushed my nail appointment back by 15 min to work with the Poppy's schedule.) I said I wanted to change my toes and the pedicurist made a face of annoyance at the receptionist while speaking to her in Russian. I apologized several times and even said "I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass, they just don't look right together"...none of my apologies were acknowledged. Olga who was doing my nails after painting them said, "do you like them? Because I don't have time to re-do them". Like yeah? That's literally the reason I changed my toe color--was because I liked the color so much. The rest of my time there was so awkward and quiet; the resentment in the air was palpable. I felt bad changing my toe color, however these nails are so expensive and I'm going to have them for the next 4 weeks. I also work in fashion, so these things are important in my line of work. So we changed the toes. I went to pay and I was a little confused about the price however I didn't question it, and I still tipped 20% despite the attitude of the staff. I asked for a receipt after and noticed I was charged $20 for a color change which was never communicated to me. I've never had a worse customer service experience. Sadly, I don't think I will be returning after being such a loyal customer. read more

Disappointed and misled - poor communication and customer service As a first-time client, I called ahead specifically to ask if they offered dip manicures. I was told yes, so I scheduled an appointment. After arriving and waiting 15 minutes past my scheduled time, I selected a color and the nail technician began removing my old dip. She seemed confused and then asked if I wanted gel or regular polish. I clarified, again, that I wanted dip - just like I had on the phone. The receptionist then stepped in, also asking what I wanted. I repeated: dip. She informed me, with an unhelpful attitude, that they don't do dip manicures - despite what I was told on the phone. I was made to feel like I was the problem, rather than someone who was misinformed and inconvenienced. Overall, it was a frustrating waste of time, and the dismissive customer service made it worse. I won't be returning. read more

Poppy Nails - Gel x! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

(As seen in the photos) I got a gel manicure on Saturday. The nail stylist who did the manicure used a drill file on my bare nails for the better part of 30 minutes (I havent had gel in my nails for years so there was nothing to file), during which she consistently and repetitively caused my nail beds to bleed. I left the salon with my nail beds super inflamed and red. Unfortunately, this is still the case now, 4+ days later. There is also dried blood deep in my cuticles that I can see but cannot wash out. Anytime I wash my hands or wash dishes in hot water, my nail beds sting. While the remainder of the service was fine and the polish is lasting well, I will not be returning as I have never experienced this at any other salon. read more
