    The nails I got at simply best nail salon ! :(
    Clara L.

    Horrible service! Do NOT RECOMMEND. I called ahead of time to see if they had time for a full set of acrylics and she said yes starting at $35 and up. I showed the nail tech a picture of what I wanted which was just soft pink acrylic powder and clear coat. Nothing hard . She said yes, and proceeds to use a "pink powder " that i told her I did not like at all. She ignored me, and said we can just put polish over it if you do not like the nails. Afterwards they had a violet purple tint to them and they are thick! She said no they are pink. I tell her okay we can just put this pink/nude polish over them and she tells me to pay first. I asked ok how much and she said $70 ?? It was a simple nail and was told 35 and up . I did not ask for design or anything it was simple. Literally she glued on the nail - cut them, shaped and put on acrylic powder that was it. I get my nails done often and for this I pay 45-50 never asked for more. I then asked why do I need to pay first if the nails are not done. She said yes I believe you are going to run off without paying. I repeated what she said to me and she just shook her head yes that I was going to run. I could not believe she said that and I immediately told her nevermind , and I ended the service with horrible nails. I felt so sad and angry with the way I was treated and no one else who was working there offered to fix them. I got into my car and cried because I have never been treated this way before when getting any service. I was truly so excited to get my nails done. Wish I could give 0 stars.

    Gel powder dip

    I was staying @ Loew's Hollywood and desperately needed a mani & pedi. Hubby came with me, which is a rare occurrence! Easy to book same day. My gal was simply fabulous with regard to dip powder removal, filing down & shaping my nails. Considering I've been getting my nails done for the last 10 years in Vegas, Colorado. Newport Beach, Buffalo/NY San Diego, LA etc.....this was the best mani job ever!!!

    Inside - quite small. Only 3 pedicure seats and about 4 can fit at manicure table.

    My toes look fab! Called 10 mins before heading over on a Monday at 550 pm and they picked after many rings. Told me to come in. No wait. Working massage pedicure chairs. $25 for a pedicure that includes a foot rub. CASH ONLY BEWARE! That was a struggle because I only had my card but we sorted it. The guy was SUPER attentive and into his work. Lovely people.

    The service was totally fine etc Im just giving 5 stars because it's been 6 days since my gel manicure and by say 3 they were chipping away. Here's a photo! i've never had gel do this before so im not sure why it happened but yeah

    Worst set of nails I've ever done. They should call themselves simply the worst nails. The nail technician hands were shaking the whole time. She has no idea what she's even doing. She hurt me the whole time also. DO NOT COME HERE.

    Came home really happy after my appointment here. Everything was great from the moment I stepped into the shop up to the time it's time for me to leave. There were three customers and two nail technicians when I walked in so I assumed that I will be waiting a while even though I called for an appointment. Surprisingly, as soon as I said that I have an appointment, KK nicely told the other customers (whose hands they were already working on) that they would have to wait... I felt like a VIP as I was seated immediately. It is nice to know that there's a nail place in LA where appointment times are honored KK was the one who did my gel mani and pedi. I wanted a matte nude shade going in but I was not entirely sure if I should do it because I know that not everyone can create PERFECT matte nails. As soon as I saw how meticulous he is while cutting and buffing though, I knew he can do it. He asked several times if there's anything he missed. I saw that his clients' satisfaction is his priority because when I pointed out something, he took it really well and thanked me for letting him know. Not something you'll get from other nail salons where nail techs are snobbish and rude... This place closes at 8pm but at 7:56, KK just finished applying the top coat on my toes. I was half expecting him to tell me that they need me to leave even if the polish is still wet, buy he didn't. Instead, he said I can stay until I think it's dry. I was like, "Wow! These guys are genuinely nice!" S: I now have a go-to nail salon and nail tech. Thank you KK and see you again soon! :)

    I've been coming to Rose, Andy, Van for years now. As you know we've been locked down for a year so my toes were screaming for a pedicure. It was to the point where my nails were turning into pincher nails (super painful). I was just about to go see a podiatrist and my nurse Cousin said to me "Just go and get a pedicure". A light build went off in my mind as I thought, Andy!! He had been doing such a great job on my pedicures prior to Covid, so.... yeah! I called, and was reminded that Andy is only available on Sundays. Rose ended up squeezing me in a few hours later. Can I tell you that I didn't realize how much pain I was in until the end of the service when she could actually squeeze my toes! I now call her my miracle worker and appreciate her time and care she put into her work. Oh and T, my gel nails have never lasted this long without lifting. Can you walk there? then why not check em' out. ;)

    $45 for this!!! This place is crap! Don't ever go there!

    Worst experience ever! This place is crap! Don't ever go there! Old dirty and gross! Instead of towel they use sturbuck napkins! Woow!

    This nail salon is my favorite in all of LA. They do the best job... and they do it quickly. I've been to many other salons that may seem fancier, but my nails don't ever turn out that good there. At Simply the Best my nails always look perfect when they finish. Plus they are so nice.

    More colors than the rainbow!

    Great experience at this salon. Got the full package and they treated me royally. Plus they are in my neighborhood and never over busy. This is a true gem in the heart of Hollywood. Ask for Rose or Lina, they are certainly pros!

It was my Birthday and I was in desperate need of a mani and pedi but I'm very hesitant to got to certain nail salons. This was an impromptu visit after having Dinner and it was okay! It was quick and not comfortable at all! There were two girls working on me and the one doing my Pedi was a little rough and I could never understand anything she was asking me because it was loud and she had a face mask on which is fine but you must be able to speak clearly when communicating to the customer! Instead of them adjusting themselves to me so that I can remain comfortable in the chair I was being stretched in all different directions in the chair to reach to how they were positioned! Also , she used "toilet paper " to separate my toes as you can see in the picture, I thought that was gross and tacky! I really needed my cuticles cut so I was desperate! I most likely won't go there again because it was just uncomfortable, the energy was disingenuous , and it was extremely uncomfortable. I tipped $20 although I don't know if those two girls will actually be given get the tip. They need to work on their communication and their protocol because it was just tacky and uncomfortable!

The lady that did my nails made sure that I was comfortable the entire time once she realized I normally don't get my nails done.

    Absolute worst experience at a nail salon I've ever had…read more The salon was filthy - one of those places where you can tell there are no sanitary practices or sterilization happening. The condition of their towels was abysmal- I'm talking like rags you use to clean your house - ripped, dirty, just disgusting. Booked here because the place was walking distance from my hotel and they had a decent rep on Yelp. Dude, lies! Who are these kids leaving 5-star reviews? My nail tech was kind and def tried his best. My gel x nails were applied beautifully but his French tip design was shabby. I cringe when I look at them, even now, furiously typing out this review my nails look so bad lol. Uneven tip length and some of the edges aren't even painted. Le sigh. The pedicure (Celine Dion pedicure lol) was so far from a pedicure, it should be illegal. Turn on hot water, soak your feet, (no jets), take out your feet, paint your toes(!!), put your feet back in water, scrub for 5 seconds each foot, massage legs for 5 seconds, take out and bam, you're done. Never in my life have I ever seen gel pedi applied BEFORE pedi is finished. It was so literally half assed I was just beside myself. The tech gaslit me - oh hunny, have you ever had pedi before? This is because of the oil on the toes. Yo, most profesh, top dollar salons finish a high quality pedi job, dry feet and spray acetone on toes to remove traces of oil. Like every salon I've ever been to coast to coast for the last 20 years. Anyway, back to the story. All the while I was having Celine's "pedi from hell", this nail tech was running around, literally interrupting my service to sweep the floor, shoo away a homeless man, run here, run there, back to my pedicure, back to clean. Never washing hands and prob talking smack about me the whole time. Poor things were running a whole salon w just 2 techs. I was prob there for 2.5-3 hours total and spent over $200+. Totally killed the vibe of my vacay but at least I got out of there in one piece, no infections lol!

They proceeded to quickly and efficiently do an excellent job, tag teaming effectively in great spirits. I was done fast, definitely impressed with my nails and not rushed while they thoroughly dried. All in all, a wonderful experience from start to finish. I absolutely recommend this salon. It exceeds the common salon by a good measure.
