Unfortunately some nail fungus crept up on my feet and with an impending vacation, I wanted to take care of it asap. With great results based on reviews I called and left a message. The response time was great, within a day. Since medical pedicures are new to me, I needed to ask multiple questions including about nail polish application. However, the person that I spoke with was impatient and rude. I didn't even finish asking my questions before she cut me off and said, "if you're not comfortable with me goodbye" and hung up on me! I was planning on scheduling to experience this service but I looked elsewhere, where they responded to my questions with professionalism. read more

Horrible business! Don't come here!! Thi asked me to send her pictures of my big toe cause it was infected with fungus so I sent her the pictures. She said she could heal my infected toe and with few a "special" pedicures, so I decided to go to her twice. What a lie! The fungus never healed and I ended up removing the toe nail, which is what she should've advised me to do, instead she charged me $500 for two "special" pedicure sessions... she's a thief and she doesn't even speak any English which made it so hard to communicate with her. She's another con artist, shame on you Thi! read more

I've been coming to see Thi for a year and a half now and WOW. The difference in my feet and toes is incredible. Now, I'd like to add that the difference only happens to those who do their "homework" like she likes to say.. and while it's not hard work, it's daily & you need to be committed to them for the long term changes. I've gone to the foot doctors, seen different people, nobody does what she does! I've lived over a decade so embarrassed to have my feet out because of the way they looked. I'm SO happy to have started seeing Thi & stayed consistent with the work & visits. A year and a half later, I'm walking around with my sandals and toes out with no embarrassment. I will continue to visit with thi, even after I'm fully healed. I love her service & can honestly say there's nobody like her! read more

Miss Thi has been working on my precious toes for 8 months. My before photos are from April and the after is from today. Thi has done miracles on my toes and it shows. She does the work during your appointment and it is your job to do yours after. Do your homework and follow her directions and guidance. In my case, my treatment was painful because of the how long my nails were damaged (about 3 years) but I don't think I would've seen these results visiting a doctor or going to a nail salon. Take some Tylenol before your appointment and don't be discouraged to return! She explains what she does and why it's essential to a healthy nail. Thi is very straight forward and brutally honest but it's what makes her a master at what she does. I'm excited for my healthy nails to keep growing and seeing the final result! read more

Im so happy I found Thi!! Ive been coming with Thi for almost one year. I suffered from fungal infection and my podiatrist removed my toe nail. It was almost a year and my nail wasn't growing. Luckily I found Thi. Please keep in mind this is not your normal pedicure,this is therapeutic nail care for your nails. Since shes been taking care of my toes I no longer get ingrown nails and my nail grew and the skin under my nail got healthier. Follow her indications (at home treatment ) and most importantly be pain tolerante. I must admit it was painful but worth it! read more

Revive With Thi - Nail Technicians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My first visit. After getting pedicures all over the world I couldn't find the right match in LA. It seemed as if all places I visited were catering the superficial aspects of feet... Thi is different and it may not be for everyone. But I much appreciate her craft and look forward to coming back. Thank you Thi! read more

This review is both long, and long overdue. I can honestly say I can't imagine why she has so many 5 star reviews, but I've read all of the 1 star reviews and I can tell you that they are all very real. In fact they're light! My experience with her was a nightmare! I visited her old location on S Robertson. I got there and because the shop was so tiny and she overbooked I was forced to wait in an alley. Almost 20 minutes in an alley. That should have been my first clue to just leave. I finally got inside and she locked the door. At first I didn't think anything of it but now I'm wondering if it wasn't because she's pissed off so many people that she might be afraid of one of them coming back, and not in a good way. She refilled the basin but didn't remove the towel that was underneath it and I had to ask her to do so. She already had an attitude when I walked in which I could tell was part of her abrasive personality and she let me know in the air she projected that she was offended that I ask her to remove a wet towel that contained someone else's bacteria. I sat there with my feet in the basin and noticed she didn't bother to change tools in the tray in front of her. I decided to wait and see what she was going to do and low and behold she started to pull one of my feet out to begin working on it. I let her know that I had seen her use the tools on the prior client and asked for fresh. She started fussing in her language so I couldn't understand her and took them to the back area. I was hoping she'd put those in to soak and grabbed a fresh set but thinking back now I don't see her spending money on a second set of tools, and she sure didn't open any new packets containing any others. Another point where I should've just gotten up and left. She totally bypassed my feet and went to work on my toes. I mean I thought she'd at least shave the dead skin from my heels, but no. I must say that I have a high threshold for pain, but she started on my toenails and dug in so hard that she cut underneath my toenail and had me nearly in tears. I stopped her and because I didn't want to chance having a blowout argument with her in the quiet neighborhood I gave her money and left. I went home and scrubbed the toe well with soap and water, applied antibacterial cream and left it open the rest of the day. The pain grew worse as the day went by so I repeated it again at night before bed. That was on a Tuesday. The next morning I woke up and it looked a mess but I was hoping it was because it had been injured the day before and needed another day to begin to heal. That Friday I was at urgent care with an infected toe!!! I do my research and when I read all of the 5 star reviews I rushed to her. What I've learned these two years is when you have a lot of 5 star reviews and some 1 star reviews it should set off an alarm. Think about it. Most places have a few 2,3, and 4 star reviews because most times unless a business is exceptional no one is totally happy with their experience, so it balances out. The only time you see extremes is when they're either paid for or given discounts. All I can say... I sincerely wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy because I'm an empath and wouldn't want them to suffer what I went through. Till this day I still have issues with that toe and probably will for the rest of my life!! I should add I'm otherwise healthy... No diabetes or other health issues so it wasn't caused by anything else... Just her!!! read more

I just went for my first appointment after 1+ year of not going (due to the pandemic) and my toes feel amazing. When I first came to Revive with Thi in 2019, my toenails were severely messed up due to a bad podiatrist ingrown toenail operation. I didn't think my nails would ever grow back normally. However, with help from Thi, my nails are finally looking normal again! Thank you, Thi!! read more

Revive With Thi - When I first came to Revive with Thi (2019) - Nail Technicians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Such a rude person over the phone obviously if someone is calling is because they have done their search about what we are looking for. But she just didn't want to help at all what a waste of place read more

I have to be brutally honest. You decide for yourself. I only came here because I saw that she had good ratings. I've been waiting on this pedicure for awhile - I have toe nail fungus on my big toes and a few others and didn't want to drive all the way out to another place over 50 miles away. When I arrived, there was a man seated in the chair and I carefully watched how she was going to transition from him to servicing me. After the gentlemen left, she started cleaning a green foot scrubber in the basin, and after that she didn't even CLEAN the basin! She just started putting water in the basin and didn't even change out the towel for my foot to rest on... she put 2 clean paper towels for my feet to rest on top of an already wet towel. Then started to use the green scrubber on my feet!!! It was NOT changed out and honestly I was going to get up and walk out but stayed like an idiot. This woman could be doing this to KEEP clients who have fungus already. I used to work in Cosmetology for years and was 2 seconds away from calling State Board. I couldn't believe it.... She had tools that I NEVER seen her clean or sanitize or even take out of a fresh package, she just opened them up from another paper towel. Wait... there's more. This woman started telling me that Americans don't know how to read properly and she started complaining about clients who never keep appointments, clients who don't call back and clients who can't understand her services on her website. She asked me what do I think when I read her services on her website about pedicures...I told her, "well it seems like the description for a pedicure is a treatment" that starts at $ (x amount) and that if you have fungus or ingrowns you have to pay extra"... I also said how maybe she needs to contact her web master to explain pricing and services to the public more clearly if she keeps having clients ask or who continue to not understand - after that she said my toes weren't that bad, just weak. But this is where it even gets worse. She started yelling and dropping the F bomb so much that I couldn't believe it! My eyes were wide like, "I need to get out of here". She complained more about Americans and how we can't do anything properly and how she gets sh**tted on because no one lets her be nice or talk sweet. Oookkkkk. Now granted I agreed with the rant in its totality to a degree, but I'm a brand new client! Wtf!?! I believe that people who truly need help with their feet come here anyway to endure this woman's horrible energy because they have no other recourse or have been coming to her for years and just put up with it. The space she occupies is filthy. Just look at her blinds in the window and remember this post. There's more- she started the pedicure and it was painful but she would say, "if it hurts it's me hurting"...uhhh come again? I believe she was trying to hold an empathetic moment, so I endured. I winced thru and then she started cutting off my big toe nail without even explaining the process or why. I knew why, but you're not even going to attempt to walk me thru the process verbally before starting?!?! Just more complaining about her clients and even asked me to help her text a client to reschedule. I did. I usually go to a lady in Upland who does waterless pedicures and I'll be returning back to her. A TON times more professional, clean and explains the process. Lastly, she just started blurting out numbers after I paid for the $75 online. She had me pay an extra $69 for the REST of the pedicure as well as lotion, drops and cream for my toes. There were no prices on her "products" at all and she literally blurted out prices then corrected herself and upped the prices - she didn't let me leave until I purchased her products. I really couldn't believe the experience I just had. I called my sister and told her everything (some details I left out because it was way too much to type). My sister says, "you need to leave a damn Yelp review and have people decide for themselves, so that this won't happen to anyone else." To say I will NOT be returning is an understatement. read more

I went to Thi and paid $70 for a pedicure on a Monday. By Thursday of that week my toe was killing me. It bled a lot during the pedicure (never a good sign) and became red and inflamed and was hard to walk on. I went to urgent care a few days later and they said it was infected. I spent 2 hours at urgent care and had to pay a $15 co-pay and then had to take antibiotics for a week afterwards, that cost another $10. So I was out $95 plus all my time. I called Thi and told her what happened and asked for a refund. She did not apologize. She basically said it was my fault b/c she said I was supposed to keep using alcohol and Neosporin on my toe (which I did) but that I got "scared" and went to the doctors. I'm glad I did. If I hadn't the infection would have been even worse. Long story short, she couldn't figure out how to refund my $70 on my credit card, so she asked that I drive back to her. I did. When I arrived she said she'd only give me back $68.11 b/c it was my responsibility to pay the service fee! Outrageous. Even though I'm out for the urgent care and meds cost, she still wanted me to pay her service fee to pay pal! I read the negative review on yelp about the toe infection and ignored it because there are so many positive reviews. Please don't be fooled. This was an incredibly upsetting experience and I hope if you're reading this that my review will resonate with you and that you take your business elsewhere. read more

Okay this lady is just a bitch! I'm sorry to say it but she's a bitch. I just called to see if my wife can get her treatment done and home and she asked "how much do you think you can pay me " I said anywhere from 500-600 considering her prices are 75-150 inside. Well she said 1000 and clicked. Honestly don't waste your time with this lady. She just lost out on a 500$ day. read more

First of all, if you are looking for a normal pedicure this is not your place. You must also be willing to listen to instruction and do your homework. Do not slander or bash on her if you are not willing to invest on yourself or her products. They work! And best part, she does not have any fungus on her hands even when working with people. I have been coming here for almost 2 years and my feet have improved by 90%. Follow instructions and don't waste her time read more

After many years of bad pedicures, and using gel on my toes, Thi was able to revive them! She is really knows what she is doing and how to get your toes summer ready. Just follow her instructions carefully and be diligent with your appointments. She will take care of the rest. read more

It's taken me forever to write this review. It's certainly overdue. I've been coming to Thi for the last 3 years. It's been a journey. Having an ingrown toe nail is tough. She's heaven sent. She's the "doctor" of ingrown toe nails. No need to go to a podiatrist, if you do your homework required by Thi, you'll be set. I'm going to show some before and afters. Let's just say when I first came to thi, I already spent $300 with a podiatrist, which did not improve my condition. My ingrown was so bad that I couldn't walk. Thi's shop setup is one on one. She works with one client at a time. She's always on time. She's not like your local nail shops, so if that's what you're looking for keep searching, but if you want someone who cares and takes time on your feet, you're reading the right review. The picture shows my left toe nail that's ingrown with a curve. As you can see the toe nail is flatten out and straighten out. Can't wait to see it flat and white. Overall, go to Thi! Do your homework, and listen to her recommendations; if you don't she'll cut you off. Trust me, she cut me off for a bit, but we're back She's very honest and does not want to waste her time or yours. If you're ready to change your foot appearance and foot confidence you won't regret Thi! Thank me later! You're in for a treat. New toes, new confidence. Until next time! read more

I started going to Thi on 9/22/17 with a fungus/bruised and an ingrown toe nail. I knew that the process would take long but the wait was worth it.

I'm so happy Thi responded so I can respond back. 1. The conversation about training someone else was first of all, not at the first session of meeting with you. It was after having seen your work and was what is called a COMPLIMENT because you do good work, I am not sure why that is an issue or a reason to not give service to someone. 2. My question about asking you how long you have been doing this for serves as 2 purposes. First purpose, having a conversation!!!! What is wrong with that? Second purpose, you are providing my treatment and as someone providing treatment I should be able to ask how long you have been doing this for. Whether or not it is a "turn off" again is not a reason to deny service for someone. For the record, I was not born in 1984 as you recall. 3. I said thank you, I even asked "are you sure" when you first offered to put money in the meter for me. I am always appreciative of people and what they do. The second time I didn't realize it would take as long as the first time and my mistake was not putting enough money. The third time, however, I had learned and put enough money in the meter where no one had to run out. 4. Thi, if you have a service fee, why was that not added when I paid you? I am confused about me needing to add a service fee. You knew I was paying with PayPal, as I asked if i could pay that way, and when I asked you my total, why did you not add my service fee to it? Why did you not add my meter money to it? I had bought different things from you as well (2 lotions, drops, nail file), and you added everything up when you gave me my total. I paid what you told me I owe. I was not aware that you had not included the meter money as I assumed you automatically would have. In regards to service fee, I was honestly not aware. Any place that has ever charged a service fee has upfront said extra 1$ before taking my payment. I paid exactly the amount you told me to pay and it is not my fault that you didn't add the other fees and I was unaware. 4. We had scheduled and confirmed my next appointment before I left that day. So yes, I was very upset to find that I had driven to your store and put money in the meter just for the gate to be locked (which it never ever has been, leading me to believe that you knew I had an appointment and would be coming). I tried to fix the situation and apologize for the misunderstanding but you refused. Thi - how come you never brought it up to my attention that there was money meter and fee that I hadn't paid for? How come you charged me for everything but you didn't charge me for those?! I am an honest paying customer. I came on time and did my homework and spend nearly 300$ for you to refuse service. That is not okay. If you don't like for people to talk, you should put up no talking during service signs. But you yourself like to talk. Again, these are not reasons to refuse service. Next time, charge a person everything they owe. I don't know what kind of games these are that you expect me to know what you charged me and what you didn't charge me. I asked for my total and paid what I was told. Try communicating with ur clients.... read more

April 30th, 2021 I have been dealing with toenail fungus for years and have been to several doctors and was given the same spiel -- there is NO cure. I decided to go a different route and find a pedicurist who specialized in nail fungus. That's when I discovered Thi and I'm so grateful I did. It's a small intimate shop. Before Thi began, I watched as she cleaned the tub, instruments and retrieve clean towels. The actual pedicure was definitely not boring. Thi is quite a character. She definitely believes in tough banter. Some may not appreciate her candor, I found it refreshing and gave it right back to her. She did a fantastic job on my nails! It was painless and thorough. I'm impressed with this treatment and am committed to continue with Thi. read more

I was referred to Thi by a good friend for my mom's feet. My mom has diabetes and had a bad skin fungus spreading throughout her feet, her middle toenail had thickened and become difficult to cut. I had made several doctor's appointments and had no remedy recommendEd work until we visited Thi. She was able to cut my mom's nail safely and remove the skin fungus in the first visit. She is wonderfully skilled at helping to heal feet. read more

Revive with Thai is a No nonsense business woman with several decades of experience. I trust her technique and experience. She a tough little lady, but she is honest and straightforward! For the past 22 years, I have hid my great toe nails under fake nails as I was greatly embarrassed because of the fungus problem and ingrown toenails being so ugly. I grew tired of having to buy fake nails and crazy glue. This process caused the nails to become soft discolored and malodorous. A few months before starting with Thai, I sought the help of a foot doctor. To my surprise he laughed at my feet and told me that there wasn't anything that I could do other than removing the nail or to take Lamisil pills, then tells me that after doing this, the fungus will return. Frustrated, And now with the fake nails off, I used anti fungal foot cream for about a month and saw a 2nd for a Lamisil Rx. On first assessment, Revive with Thai assured me that I did not have a nail fungus, but an ingrown nail problem & to stop taking the Lamisil pills & to follow her home care instructions. After the first assessment I saw a difference! As I continued to do the daily home care, my feet improved as seen in the pics. Revive with Thai is The Best and these foot doctors could learn a lot from her! She makes the absolute best lotions too!!! Her services are well worth the price and if you can take the pain...you can achieve and enjoy your natural and beautiful feet again. Thank you Revive with Thai!!! read more

Love This, she's a zero BS type of person and I appreciate that so much. She's truly gifted with what she does and works wonders

This was my first visit with Thi using my groupon. It is not your typical nail salon so don't go expecting you can get a gel manicure. The pedicure was the best. She goes deeper in the cleaning process then what a regular manicurist would do. She will tell you what is wrong with your nails and will give you suggestions on how to regain the beauty of your nails. If you are having issues with your nails, go see Thi. read more

I highly recommend this spot! I've been seeing Thi for a year and am so pleased with my results. My toe nails are growing out correctly. I feel super confident now wearing sandals. No more acrylic or gel for me. I had no idea how bad my feet and toe nails were until Thi began treating me. THANK YOU THI! read more

I have been hooked on Thi since my wife introduced me to her as a gift for my 43rd birthday. She has a caring personality and is very friendly. Her work is pure quality and she makes it affordable. No hassles, no crowds, just make an appointment and enjoy. My wife has been HOOKED ON THI and I have been pleased with her results. Ladies and gents, if you need assistance in foot and nail care, REVIVE WITH THI. You will be pleased. read more

Thi! She is literally the best. I recently moved to the east coast from LA and have yet to find anyone like Thi. She is the expert in nail care and nail health. Her prices are more than the average nail salon but the price is worth every penny. You pay for the service you receive. I know she is retiring soon and really hope she is able to find someone that is half as good as her to train. Thi you are really one of a kind. read more

My sweet (and feisty), Thi. I moved away two years ago and my curved toenail grew back. I couldn't find anyone to replace your talent in my new city, so I had a podiatrist cut it out. It grew back. I am so lucky you were able to see me while I was on my brief trip to LA today, Thi! The pressure and pain I've been feeling are GONE! No more ugly, painful, curved nail. I've got pretty toes again. I love you! Do you have any twins by chance? You MUST start a training school so nail technicians can learn your unique style. Hehe!! read more

I read the yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. I am definitely satisfied with the work Thi's done. I have an ingrown nail and she took care of it as a professional. This nail place is a small room in a business courtyard running by one woman:) and she knows what she's doing. I will come back for sure. If you need healthy hands and feet this is the right address but if you need pampering and 15 mins massage not the right place:) read more

Revive With Thi - I bite my nails so bad but she made them look wonderful:) - Nail Technicians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After suffering from ingrown toenails for the past 15 years, I have finally found a professional in Los Angeles who can help me. Thi is simply the only one I can trust now. I used to go to a different salon in the area that had me returning in a week or two when the pain was back and excruciating. With Thi, I have once a month appointments and she always takes care of me best. Never do I return with any pain and I cannot imagine life without her! She has a bold personality and a heart of gold. I would recommend anyone who needs to trust someone with their feet to see her. You definitely get what you pay for with Thi! When I found her, I could tell this is my last stop. Even after surgery which did not help, Thi has proven to be better than any doctor! read more

Since 2004 Thi has been the only person I've allowed to perform my pedicures. She has been a constant with knowledge and with keeping my toenails/feet healthy and well groomed. When I was told by a doctor that I would have a deformed toenail or worse lose the toenail after an accident, Thai said "No Way". She was right and to the surprise of this one particular doctor, my toenail has absolutely no indication of trauma. Thi is a caring and a straight -shooter ( no charge for the therapy session) who has for years educated herself on foot-care. If you're seeking the standard $20 pedicure in an assembly-line salon Thi isn't for you. If you're seeking First, healthy feet/toenails. Second, A pedicure that lasts and gets noticed and Thirdly a relaxing environment... The standard statement has been, if you cant get along with Thi who can you get along with"? read more

I have been a client of Thi's for 16 years and she is amazing. She cares about her clients foot care and does everything she can to educate, inform and assist her clients in taking the best care of their feet. She is professional, dependable, consistent and confident in her ability. I highly recommend Thi if you are serious about getting your feet in shape and keeping them cared for. read more

I had a pretty bad fungus on my ingrown toenail that would not heal when I first started seeing Thi. She was sweet, amazingly skilled and thorough at giving pedicures. Her at-home instructions and natural products she makes made the healing process much quicker. After four visits I saw an obvious difference, my nail was healthier looking and almost healed! Plus no more painful ingrown toenail! It's now been six months and my nail is completely healed and normal looking. I honestly didn't think it was possible! I don't think I will ever trust anyone else with my nails now that I've found Thi! She truly is an absolute gem! Thank you Thi!! read more

I've been going to Thi for a little over 3 years. Once you've seen the work Thi does you won't want to go to anyone else. If you have any problems with your nails (ingrown, fungus, etc.), she'll fix them. In fact, she specializes in people with sensitive feet and diabetics. Sure, she's a bit pricier than your standard nail salon and will only see you with an appointment, but she takes her time to meticulously clean each nail and the polish will last up to a month. If you prefer, she'll even select a color for you. You won't be receiving a luxurious massage or any hot towel treatments, but I've yet to meet anyone else that comes close to her work. If you have any nail problems, go see her! read more

It is very difficult for me to start this review because I've known Thi for a decade now. It's so hard to believe that it's been 10 years that she's been in my life as my nail care specialist and my friend. Thi is amazing! My nails suffer from fungus and splitting but with Thi's expertise, passion and commitment my nails look great. I am so grateful to have Thi in my life. I have followed Thi around the city from shop to shop for ten years. I am committed to her because she genuinely cares about the health of my nails. read more

I highly recommend Thi! I have been going to her regularly for manicures and pedicures for 2 years. She is incredibly meticulous and will leave me with perfect nails each and every time. If you want to be pampered with massages and all that fluff or have acrylic nails/want gel nail polish , this is not the place for you.

I have to give Thi 5 stars because she really knows her stuff. I've never had such a feisty nail technician...but I figured out in not too long that she was an expert. I let her change the shape of my nails when she thought my shape wasn't good. And believe it or not, she was totally right. Square looks WAY better on my fingers than oval. Haven't ever thought of that or been advised that way, She also insisted on picking my color. And I'm so glad she did. She has an eye for what is exactly right for you. She told me I needed to be more elegant! And I am! The mani-pedi takes a full two hours--hence the higher price. It's because Thi is really taking care of your hands and feet. Not in a massage-y kind of way. She's actually cleaning and shaping your nails. Definitely worth the price and the time--just let her take the lead and you'll get a great result. I am very very particular about my reviews. So trust me on this one. read more

This is an honest review of Revive with Thi's breeding ground of bacteria, fungus and various skin infections. First, I must warn you that she is not practicing hygienic protocol that is taught by the Board of Barber and Cosmetology. Something that her clients should question her about and/or report her to @ https://www.barbercosmo.ca.gov/. First, she doesn't wear gloves when performing pedicures and keep in mind that most or all of her clients have ingrown toenails and fungus, see pictures above. During such procedures, she draws blood and will dab your cut or wound with eagle brand medicated oil with her fingertip and keep in mind she's using the same bottle of oil between clients and not wearing gloves. She's not using disposable tub liners, instead she's spraying the tub with a cleaner and scrubbing it with a brush that has seen better days, a quick rinse and now it's ready for the next client. She's using the same pumice stone on each client and the same nail file that has dried blood from previous client and who knows what other bacteria and fungus growing/crawling on it. Also, she does not use an autoclave machine to sterilize her instruments/tools, instead she soaks them in a liquid for a few minutes and the tools are ready for the next client. Keep in mind that she should be opening up a package of clean sterilized tools that have gone through a steam cleaning process especially if they have been soiled with blood. I've gone to nail salons that provide their clients with sterilized instruments, tub liners, disposable pumice stones, disposable or stainless-steel nail files that can be sterilized, and have the decency of wearing gloves when performing pedicures and don't charge as much as she does. Current and potential clients beware, she may raise her prices if she has to provide such basic items because now it's going to cost her, something she should have been providing for her clients in the first place, especially for what she's charging you, as you can see, she's cutting corners. She also runs her business by fear and intimidation, if you don't follow her rules or buy her products, she'll decline seeing you or just won't answer your call or text message. You've been warned! read more
