This Aritaum is located in a small corner inside H Mart. I was specifically looking for an Aritaum…read morebecause the one near my friend's house in Koreatown has since closed, and I always had pleasant experiences there. I was genuinely excited to find one closer to me. When we arrived, I already knew which foundation I was looking for and just needed help finding my shade. We were greeted by the cashier, a middle-aged Asian woman, who was friendly at first and helped me search for my shade. She also mentioned that some items were on sale for their Black Friday event, so we were excited to continue shopping. My friend picked out a couple of lipsticks and went to the register first. When she handed them over, the cashier sternly said, "No sale on these items!" The tone was very off-putting. I immediately looked up, and my friend calmly replied, "Yeah, I know." The interaction felt extremely odd, especially considering how kind the cashier had been to me just moments before. I ultimately decided to skip the foundation and purchased a Laneige makeup serum instead. The cashier rang me up, and that was the end of our interaction. I understand that Aritaum locations are independently owned, and I know every store is different. However, my experience at the previous location was consistently great. I was often given many samples, which encouraged me to try new products and led to multiple purchases over time. At this location, I wasn't given any samples, which I understand--but that's not the main issue. The reason for my two-star review is what happened as we were leaving. My friend said, "That was the most racist experience I've had in a long time. I honestly think she was mean to me because of my skin complexion." When a salesperson clearly favors one customer and treats another paying customer differently, it's hard to ignore the possibility that this played a role. We were both polite, we both made purchases, yet my friend was treated poorly for no apparent reason. I don't feel comfortable supporting a business that: 1. Doesn't carry foundation shades beyond lighter complexions, and 2. Treats paying or even browsing customers in this manner. I'm really disappointed, because I was hoping this would be a place I could return to.

They are hidden inside the H-Mart, next to the new Art Box section. There is a vast selection of…read moreKorean skincare brands, including Beauty of Joseon, Laneige, Sulwhasoo, Innisfree, etc. In addition to serums and moisturizers, they sell face masks, make-up, eyelashes, and hair dye. They don't offer refunds, only exchanges. There is a $10 minimum for credit card purchases. I purchased the glow serum with niacinamide by Beauty of Joseon. They sold it for $21, which is pricier than the online price. I know it sells for $17, but that doesn't include tax and shipping. I am okay with paying for convenience sometimes. I received some Laneige samples along with my purchase, which was nice. I've only used lip moisturizers, so I'm excited to try their other products. Overall, I had a great experience shopping at this location. I know there are other locations in Los Angeles. I'll be coming back!

I was on Google looking for a particular edge control and decided to call some Beauty Supply stores…read morethat were in the area. I called, did an item check for the edge control I was looking for (6/28/25) and the man on the phone confirmed they had it! Kelly Beauty is nestled in a lot with lots of parking next to a credit union and Albertsons. When I walked in I saw (2) sweet and welcoming Asian men working the floor. I let them know I called and the guy from my phone directed the other to grab the product --by name -- that I needed and gave it to me. I attended to and appreciated the hospitality. Due to how nicely the store is set up I couldn't help but to look around they have a lot of black & brown products, beautiful scarfs at the front that'll grab your attention. I ended up getting x2 scarfs (long in length, big in width) and some braiding jewelry. My total came out to be $45 + change this included the edge control I needed. Yes, Yes, I know... that's a bit pricey but I believe it was worth it. The edge control if I ordered online from the supplier it would've been around the same amount (including tax, shipping/handling) I needed this immediately so I paid the price, lol. The scarfs were good quality and the braiding jewelry was very reasonably priced. Kelly Beauty had lots of products that some other beauty supplies don't even have in stock. Just sayin'. I'll come back here because I know they'll have it in stock. I recommend due to their vast inventory not due to pricing of course ('cause they're a bit high with some things) and maybe next time I'll find out: WHO IS KELLY!?

The concept was very different than the other Japanese nail salons in town. The pricing varies by how much time it take for you to do your nails yourself. The gel polish(virtually odorless) that Yuriko let you use (at the salon only) is sold to professional nail artists exclusively. She doesn't do acrylic nails so her salon doesn't have that chemical odor like other salons. She will walk you through every step of the way to help you achieve the nail design you want! When you're ready to remove your gel nails she will teach you how to remove them via "soak off" method. Yuriko is also very knowledgeable on how to care for individuals with dry brittle nails like myself. If you don't mind the commute to the salon. Enjoy doing your nails especially gel and want to decorate as much as possible for a low price too, then I definitely recommend it! Best of all no need to pay tip since you're doing your own nails. In addition, you don't need an appointment and Yuriko will work with you on an first come first serve basis.
