I stopped in today on a whim because I had some free time and desperately needed a mani pedi. Mina was very welcoming and took me right away. She is so sweet, very friendly and wants to make sure you are comfortable and okay with her work every step of the way. She even helped "fix" one of my real nails that was splitting by adding some acrylic to even it out - free of charge. I can't say enough how sweet Mina is. I will definitely come back again. She does her own art work and her designs look amazing. Since her shop is small, there is a chance she may not be able to take you right away. But if you can wait, it is well worth it. Try calling ahead to see if she has availability if you don't feel like waiting. read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Gel manicure by Mina - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I wish I did not come here.. 1) she was doing someone's pedicure before mine and did not wash her hands after doing it. Instead, she just did my nails right after. 2) she stopped in the middle of doing my nails to feed the pigeons outside and came back to continue without washing her hands. 3) she cut me up so many times 4) she didn't clean up my nails after 5) my nails overall looked a little uneven Overall, this place was unsanitary and my fingers + fingernails were hurting the next day to the point that I thought I had gotten an infection. I had still received numerous compliments so I'm happy about that but i will never pay $45 for dip nails here again. I also gave her a $5 tip and I'm not even sure why. (You can see one of the many cuts on my pinky finger, it's red) read more

THIS IS MY 3rd VISIT! Mina always take great care of me when I'm here... Today, I decided to surprise my manly man fiancé here for his first buffed mani and pedi (it's our 1 Year Anniversary ) ....as you can see he's comfortable and relaxed. He agreed to come with me at least once a month. Men work hard, they need an opportunity to relax and get waited on since they take such good care of us. MEN ITS OKAY TO PAMPER YOURSELF ONCE IN A WHILE... LADIES ITS OKAY TO TREAT YOUR HARD WORKING MAN TO A SIMPLE MANI OR PEDI, IF YOU DONT WANT TO RUB HIS FEET, INVEST IN HIM AND ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT. He'll love you even mooooore read more

It's my first time ever getting acrylics so I was like "hook me up" to the older male who did my nails. It's cute and all but I had to add the diamonds myself because it was so plain to me and I don't think I'm a fan of the powder colors it makes your nail look so thick haha. And check out my cuticles though they didn't even bother with them. I also got a plain mani & my total was $54 totally not worth the price. Since I had a pricey and bad first experience I probably won't come back. Thank you next. read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I have mixed reviews about this place.. service: take off & new set with gel Mina is the owner.. she's the most sweetness and honest manicurist I've ever met. she really explained every step of the process which was nice. her method when is very old fashion.. she prefers using file tools instead of the machine. In my opinion.. I didn't like it bc it made my nails TOO FAT. but she was very gentle when it came to taking off my nails. the reason why I give this place 4/5.. is bc even tho she's the kindest person.. her methods of keeping the place clean wassn't enough for me. she doesn't put liners in the tub salon chairs, uses old tools, dusts off the the powder residue from my hands w the same brush to wipe her table.. my total was $40 with $10 tip.. (poor lady had to hear me scream while taking my old nails off) sadly, I will not return to this place.. place & location I was dissatisfied but customer service completely satisfied.. read more

My friend and I went here after work, we called Mina an hour before since previous reviews said to. She is the only one working so be patient! She can only do one customer at a time, that is why you should call ahead. I got a mani and pedi, my friend got acrylic and all looks great! Mina was so welcoming and sweet, we'll be back soon! read more

Mina, the owner is soooo sweet! I called and she was able to take me right away! It sounds like she usually has appointments but luckily no one was there when I showed up. Yes, place was empty but she did receive a few calls for appointments during our time together. She is her only employee! I would definitely go back. She shared her amazing story with me that had me in tears. She won me over lol.. Will. Be. Back. read more

I don't know if it's just bc Mina May have been socially deprived during quarantine or something, but she tended to talk quite a bit more than any normal nail Salonist and much more than I'd preferred. I even mentioned that I had work on my phone to tend to and she kept making unnecessary comments (aside from normal inquiries about the service) that I couldn't understand so more time was spent just answering her bc she seemed to get frustrated if I didn't acknowledge her comments.... Idk about other people but a pedi is supposed to be relaxing I thought and usually during all of my prior pedicures the Salonist allows for people to just kick back and relax, but I didn't feel encouraged to do that at all. I asked her for the whole spa experience and she barely spent two minutes on the massage despite having had no customers waiting... I am however pleased that she added a third layer of polish on by request so that it wouldn't come off too soon. But she expected me to walk barefoot over to what she says is a fan (but is actually the gel curing light) instead of just bringing it over to my my toes.. yikes! Overall I wouldn't recommend coming here, I won't be coming back, I have to be able to tune out the world when I'm at these kinds of things read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Chile after we got our pedicures baby changed the price $15 more. Please agree on a set price before you sit in a chair!

I've had great experiences before but this last wasn't great and left me annoyed and upset. The lady that did my pedicure kept trying to up sell stuff (which I get it that's what you do) but they way she did it was annoying. She just added on product and started doing whatever scrub it was before she continued further, she asked if it was on to proceed. You already started, I don't understand why you couldn't ask first. The first 2 add ons I was fine with but the third, which was adding lotion on massaging, I said oh I don't need the massage thank you. She kept asking if I was sure and I kept telling her that I didn't want to add. Tell me why she rinses off the lotion she put on me leaving my skin and feet with dryness???? What was the point of getting a pedicure if my feet were going to be crusty after? Definitely the last time I will be coming in. read more

Awesome job ladies! So kind and friendly. The nail salon was clean and neat. I am in love with my nails color and design. Even the fellow patrons were lovely. O will definitely come back every time I visit from The Bay. Infinite blessings ladies read more

Maybe "Sheba" does a good job... but the Asian lady who works with her is TERRIBLE. I left feeling so frustrated and unsatisfied!!! I feel like I just wasted 25 dollars. The job was so bad honestly, I'm going home to remove the gel nails and repaint them myself. Sheba (apparently the owner) didn't check in with me once. She seemed so overwhelmed/stressed out/panicking because she had a few clients waiting. Her assistant (the asian lady) is supposed to prime/prep the nails for painting. I guess Sheba was supposed to paint for me. But since she was "too busy" she told the Asian lady "you paint, its ok." Boy was that a mistake. Not only did the Asian lady who did my nails pull and rip cuticles off. But her hands were SOOOOO shaky and unsteady. At first, I thought she was joking or being funny. It was so bad. She was in the wrong type of business..... She painted each finger (very messily) outside of the lines. Then proceeded to take a brush and remove the polish with acetone. Who does that?? Not a professional job... AT ALL. I guess that's why Sheba should be painting? I don't know. But I won't risk it. I will never come back or waste my time or money here. If you want a clean job and something worth your time and money, go elsewhere. read more

I went to Mina for the first time last Monday, and my nails still look great!!! I got a dipping powder full set! She took her time making sure that they looked good. She even told me to let her know if I didn't like something and she would fix it. I let her know they were a little long for me and she filed them down! I highly recommend her! So far my favorite place for nails in Hawthorne!! read more

I asked for square nails and this is what I got. The acrylic isn't even covering the entire nail, it's bumpy and uneven. I tried to tell her about it and she just kept replying she's not done yet but as you see the problem was never corrected. All I received was $10 off the horrible nails. Never coming back read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

First time in years getting my nails done by Mina the owner of queen Sheba beauty salon and I was reminded by why my family always goes to her and has for years. She is very good at nails and has a full service salon offering waxing ( even of delicate areas), hair cuts for men, women and children, hair coloring, Brazilian blowouts and anything else you can imagine. The location recently moved and is on the corner of 138th and Hawthorne blvd, a little easy too miss if you don't know it's there. Mina uses OPI nail polishes an has a really clean shop. The pricing is really low in consideration to most other places but you get an person who really cares that you are happy with your final results no matter what service you are getting. read more

Don't bother setting an appointment, if you arrive on time you'll only be made to wait if she's working on someone and will take wax walk-ins. I don't understand why I had to set up an appointment... Came here for a pedicure based off of the reviews, but wished I hadn't. I called and set my appointment for 1:00, arrived on time just to wait 20 minutes for her to finish with her previous client. Then I was asked to sit in the "spa" chair in which I waited another 30 minutes since she decided to help a walk in.... fast forward to a whole hour later she got back to working on my nails, mind you I was only there for a pedicure. When it came time to pay she gave me a different price than we had discussed over the phone and that was because she said I was being charged for the "spa treatment" (the "spa" chair I was made to wait in) although she had insisted I sit there.. Long story short, come here if you want to waste a solid hour and thirty minutes of your time waiting for your tech to focus on solely you and finish the job. Also place was very dirty, only thing that seemed hygienic was her use of gloves during the pedicure... read more

Yes please!!! Mina brings it in every sense!!! I've found a gem!! I didn't have to wait for my appointment and the shape is just flawless! I've been looking for a salon that has flawless thin but strong nails - shape is very specific and hard to find! read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Perfect! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I decided to try this shop due to the shop I usually go to wasn't available. I walked up to the entrance door and Mina was obliged to assist me. She's a very nice , offers good service and wants you to be satisfied before leaving. I got a basic gel manicure and regular manicure and she did a neat job. She makes sure she is shaping correctly or you like the polish you chose due to she shows you the shape and color on nails before going on. The shop has alot of live plants, it is cute and clean. This is going to be my go to shop if I do not decide to change. read more

Came here for a gel pedicure and it was nice. The space is pretty big and my friend and I didn't have to wait more than a couple minutes. They did try to offer extras (ie callus removal and salt scrub) but I appreciated that they actually said how much extra it was without me having to ask. Very nice ladies and they did a good job read more

Mina is the best!! I had gone to her over 10 years ago when she was near 120th & Hawthorne, I've found her again!!! She is now my permanent manicurist, I go every two weeks. Place is clean & comfortable with big spa seats, prices are very reasonable, parking is ample, best of all she does a great job & I always leave happy-I'm a diabetic & have to be very careful with cuts & scrapes to my feet & toes, she's very careful. I highly recommend you check her out! read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Queen Sheba Nails (Mina) is on the corner of Hawthorne Blvd & 138th Street in the city of Hawthorne - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I went today - I just moved to the area and they have pretty good reviews. I tried to walk in at 2:15 on a Saturday and it had a women inside getting her nails done but the gate was up around the door and looked sketch. Took that as a sign and found Nailalicious on Inglewood (just down the street) and they were AMAZING! read more

Okay let me just say whoever gives this place 3 stars or lower is ridiculous. I found this place on Yelp myself and I'm glad I decided to give it my service. Mina is just about the sweetest lady! She was about to close and I just so happened to catch her at the door. She asked what did I need and welcomed me although she was about to close the salon. She took her time (not in a annoying way) to make sure my nails were PERFECT. Mina kept assuring me my nails were going to be pretty and they were ! I can tell she loves what she does and prices are reasonable. Definitely will be returning and recommend this spot to everyone. The salon also has a relaxing energy not all over the place. read more

My new spot!!! It's walking distance from my house and affordable...Great customer service and I love how my toes came out!!!

I'm def coming back!! read more

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Love how my toes came out!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Lol I have never walked out of a nail salon so upset. I wanted a fill with white gel but the polish was so old. it had air bubbles and asked for them to remove it. The acrylic was not buffed enough so they were lumpy. My pedi was okay. I spend 40 and an additional 20 the next day to get them fixed at a different nail shop. Redic read more

This place is horrible, super dirty and not well kept, will never go back. The lady was nice but the nails weren't. The shape is horrible, they are lumpy and not well shaped. Save your money. Full set start @ $25 plus gel $12. The nail polish colors are limited, very outdated. read more

Mina is awesome! She has years of experience, does a great job, and it's very accommodating with appointments(she doesn't do walk ins). I have gone to several places, but always come back to Mina because she always does a beautiful job and I'm always satisfied! She may not seem very personable at first, but give her a chance and you'll see how truly great she is! read more

I always end up forgetting to write my review because I never want to mess up my nails! But since I'm waiting for my toes to dry, now is the perfect time to write it! So glad I found this place!

Queen Sheba Nails & Spa - Another great experience with Mina. I love how nails turned out - Nail Salons Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I am giving Queen Sheba another 5 star review because her service was great as always! Idk why other people feel the need to be very rude. The person who reviewed her bad actually goes to different nail places and reviews bad every time and always has something negative to say. Hmmm...that's interesting. Maybe the problem isn't the places... But I digress, Mina is a wonderful lady who is always doing her best to help and accommodate customers. And she makes it a point to fix or re-do the nails if you are not satisfied with them. You just need to let her know. She is very sweet. I came in today and she was very sweet and made time to see me even though I didn't have an appt. I was having pain in my toe because I was starting to get an ingrown toenail and she fixed me right up! No more pain! ^_^ She also did a wonderful job on my nails. Love the OPI nail polish! Yay! Thank you again Mina for such great service! I will be seeing you again in 2 weeks! :) read more

She's the only person I let's do my toes now. read more
