Booked a basic gel manicure here before a vacation, and by the time I arrived at my destination the next day, two of my nails had already peeled off entirely. Not chipped but fully peeled in one piece. By the end of the trip, all ten were gone. It would literally flake off with no effort from something like washing my hands. My first technician barely filed or prepped my nails before applying the gel. When I went back to get them fixed, I was assigned a different technician who went way too hard. She filed so aggressively it burned, and my nails were visibly damaged afterward. I still had to tip her, which felt frustrating considering it was a fix for poor initial work. I get that she thought I was being too rough with the nails so she filed extra hard so that it would stay, but the only reason the original gel didn't stay is because I never got properly buffed and filed in the first place, not because I was rough with them. The gel manicure cost $60, which is not cheap. I tipped the first technician, the second technician who "fixed" it, and had to pay for parking twice. I expected better training and consistency across technicians. Parking is validated for two hours, but that might not be enough. I had an appointment and still waited around 35 minutes before anyone was available. The full visit lasted over two hours, so I ended up paying for parking on top of everything else. read more

I'm leaving this review because this place has never once honored my appointment time. I always make an appointment in advance, yet every single time I come in, I end up waiting at least 20-30 minutes, sometimes longer. Not once have I been taken at my scheduled time. If customers are expected to make appointments, then what is the point if they're never respected? I plan my day around these bookings, and repeatedly having my time wasted is extremely frustrating. My time is valuable too -- who is compensating customers for constantly waiting past their appointment time? If this salon cannot manage its schedule properly, they should stop taking appointments or be honest about wait times. Very disappointing experience, consistently... read more

The results look elegant, feel comfortable, and maintain their quality without the issues I have experienced at other salons. One of the most impressive aspects of HaNa Nails is their focus on nail health. Since being serviced by Hana and Alyssa, I have noticed that my natural nails are stronger and healthier. The materials they use appear to be far less damaging than those used elsewhere, and that difference is clearly reflected in the condition of my nails. The customer experience is equally outstanding. Hana and Alyssa create an environment that is welcoming, comfortable, and relaxing. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine warmth make every appointment enjoyable. They also accommodate special requests with patience and grace, which reflects their dedication to both their craft and their clients. Their professionalism is evident in every detail: * Impeccable attention to detail * Clean workspace and sanitized tools * High quality products * Punctual appointments * Clear communication * Consistent business professionalism In my experience, their level of service is unmatched by other salons in the Koreatown area. Hana and Alyssa work seamlessly as a team, and their passion, patience, and dedication to excellence are evident in every visit. If you are looking for long lasting manicures that look and feel amazing, HaNa Nails is an outstanding choice. Hana and Alyssa are not only highly skilled professionals, they are also beautiful souls who genuinely care about their clients. It is always an absolute pleasure to be serviced by them, and I highly recommend HaNa Nails to anyone seeking quality, care, and exceptional results.

My feet have been through it the last couple of years (sports) and I wanted to get serious about caring for them properly, not just getting them painted. Of course, I turned to Yelp for the scoop and zeroed in on Ms. Glen's Therapeutic Manicures & Pedicures. I finally got a chance to go see Ms. Glen and it was everything I wanted and more. It was relaxing (I fell asleep)! It was restorative! My feet felt and looked healthy and cared for. I didn't get polished which is great because I have been wanting to go natural for a while to let my nails breathe and focus on what's really happening with my toe nail health. So may things I loved (in no particular order): - Very communicative from the appointment (via phone) to the confirmation and directions (via text) - Ms. Glen greeted me at the door - The studio smells divine (really sets the tranquil mood) - The studio was intimate (just me - yay) - The space was very clean (I am a stickler for clean) - There was a complimentary water waiting on me - Ms. Glen has developed her own techniques and products which speaks to her dedication and specialization (I love people who are passionate about what they do!) - Every step of the treatment was appreciated! (very detailed, very attentive, think - pampering your feet from the in-depth massage to the parrafin to the soaks to the grooming and much much more) - I got socks! This was such a special and much needed last step that I never knew I needed. It made my feet more comfortable and protected after such a beautiful treatment. She even asked me my size. How's that for customer service! - Now this one may seem trivial but I never had to hold my feet up during the treatment unless I was transitioning from the bowl to a towel. I do not like having to do that while someone attends to the bottom of my feel or heels. Ms. Glen has it worked out where I can truly relax the whole time. I also left with one of Ms. Glen's therapeutic hand and foot oils in Lemon. She makes the oils herself! It smells so good and leaves a refreshing but not overpowering scent. It feels good oiling my feet every night. Like another reviewer said, this is not your run of the mill pedicure shop. This is a therapeutic service that is worth every penny. My goal is to make this a regular treatment. If my feet are healthy, I am healthier! Thanks Ms. Glen for such a wonderful experience! I'll be back. And thanks again for the massage therapist recommendation. Rest and recovery, here I come!

Ms. Glen should rebrand her business as RESTORATION!! If you're looking for a traditional pedicure…read morewith in and out service and a fancy polish job, this isn't for you. If your feet are in need of TLC, renewal and restoration, Ms. Glen has a carefully curated service that will leave your feet feeling brand new. I had recently purchased a soap that helps with skin discoloration. It hasn't been making any improvement in the uneven skin tone and dark marks on my feet. Turns out I just needed an appointment with Ms. Glen. The exfoliation she provided literally rubbed away 15 years from my feet. My dry scratchy heels were left supple and smooth and the calloused areas were left soft. Had I known what I was in store for I would have taken before and after pictures. She even provided socks for me to leave in, to seal in the moisture. My favorite part hands down was the massage. She kneaded into these tired soles, and I needed that! I paid a little more than the price listed (which she does quote as a base price) but she also spent almost 2x the amount of time listed. My Fiancé noticed the difference in appearance and feel immediately. I intentionally waited until 24 hours+ had passed to write this review, wanting to see if my feet would feel just as nice. THEY DO!! Ms. Glen definitely puts pride in her work and I love how she checked in throughout the process to ensure I was satisfied along the way. I recommend her service to anyone looking to give their feet a more youthful feel and look. And if your feet have severe issues that might keep you from visiting open public salons, her private suite will help you feel comfortable and secure. Right before I left, Ms. Glen threw in a bottle of her therapeutic hand & foot oil once she saw how dry my hands were. I had discussed my upcoming nuptials with her and she wanted to make sure my hands moisturized properly for my big day, even providing a demonstration on proper application. Ms. Glen is a gem!

I trusted the front desk staff to guide me, and was quoted $80 for Gel-X, builder gel removal, and French tip. At my appointment on Friday 7/18, I was unexpectedly charged $110! I was told the card on file couldn't be used for the service--only for late fees or no-shows--which made no sense. If the salon can charge the card for penalties, why not for the actual service being provided? This was especially frustrating because the appointment was a gift for a huge accomplishment of mine, from my mother, so of course I didn't have the physical card with me. On top of that I was also charged extra for nail length without warning, and billed twice for polish: $20 for gel color and $15 for French tip, even though I only received 1 design; french tip. When I asked for clarification, staff just pointed to the online pricing--but I booked in person to avoid that confusion. The experience felt misleading. I intentionally came in person to avoid confusion and relied on the staff to guide me accurately. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I would not recommend this salon to anyone. If you're considering booking here, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for more transparent and customer-friendly service.

Had concerns with my first gel-x experience. It was painful. The tech didn't listen to my requests…read more I did. I was unhappy with the service but still paid full price and tipped accordingly. I came back for a refill, and two days later was in some of the most pain I've ever been in due to a cuticle infection. I voiced concerns that my skin was being cut, but they were shrugged off. After coming into the salon to show them the infection, the front desk staff was polite and helpful advising they would reach out to the owner and share photos they took of the nail. Days passed and I followed up again via phone as I didn't hear back. The owner of the salon requested PHI pertaining to the infection, including what Rx I was on, in order to even consider a refund. Initially, a gift card for the amount spent on the service was offered in lieu of a refund. I mentioned I was not comfortable receiving another service, and received a call back letting me know the owner was willing to grant a refund. Overall, the back and forth took about a week and a half. I was new to the entire gelx process, and am posting this review to let anyone else looking to embark on that journey know they should ask questions and voice their concerns. There are seemingly many happy patrons, but this was my individual experience.

A beautiful set of nails!

Had a bizarre and unpleasant experience with Joanna. I came in two weeks ago after having gel on my nails for several months. Knowing my nails were feeling weak, I initially requested a regular manicure to give them a break. Joanna questioned this choice and ultimately convinced me to try GelX, explaining it as a protective method that wouldn't touch the first layer of my nail. I agreed to give it a try. Within one week, 4 out of 10 nails had chipped extensively. I had booked a follow-up appointment two weeks after the initial set for a fresh set. I arrived on time and waited about 30 minutes while Joanna finished another service, which I understood happens. When she finally came over--while still eating--she asked how the set held up. I showed her my nails and explained that GelX might not have been the best option for me, especially since I was about to leave for a three-week vacation and needed something durable. I also noted that the set I had before GelX lasted over three weeks. She became defensive and told me she expected the nails to chip because they were weak, saying we needed to wait for new growth. When I pointed out that my previous set lasted three weeks, she loudly responded, "Yeah, well were your nails in this state? Because right now, they're really bad." I ultimately opted for a regular manicure and canceled my pedicure because the service felt rushed and the interaction felt disrespectful. I wasn't upset about the chipping or the wait time--I was frustrated that I asked for guidance and was met with hostility. I've loved Sugar Nail and have been going regularly for months, but unfortunately after this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Do NOT come here. Horrible. I hate nail places that advertise one thing yet do another. If a place closes at 9 you don't stop taking people at 8. Walked in and no one greeted me, I asked if someone can help me and they rude Asian women said no we have to many people already. Mind you there were only 3 people inside and they had 3 women working so it very well could have been done. I wasted $6 on parking for no reason. Honesty don't come here, it's over priced and the lady's are fucking rude. There are ALOT more spots in ktown that do a way better job and will accept you even after they close. That's good business. Never coming here again. Unfortunately for them the lost at least 150 bucks cause I always spend that much on my manicures if the work is good. Wish I could give zero stars. Horrible customer service! read more

I walked into this nail salon with my sister without an appointment, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. The entire staff was welcoming and kind, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Julia, in particular, was incredibly patient and sweet throughout the entire process. She took her time, made sure we were happy with everything, and truly made the experience feel personal and relaxing. We left with beautiful nails and big smiles. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great service and a friendly atmosphere! read more

I had the most amazing experience at Sugar Nail! I had my manicure and pedicure done by Sonia, and she was truly amazing. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Sonia herself is incredibly professional. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and very caring. You can really tell she values both quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommended! read more

Came as a walk in to get a gel manicure & gel pedicure and they took me in right away. Have been going to the other locations but decided to try the Hobart location since I live close by and this will now be my go-to nail salon. All staffs are friendly, salon is very clean and organized, and all staffs are very thorough with their work. read more

This place is awful. Read any negative review here, and I will concur with them all. They don't like non-asians. Which is a shame. This neighborhood is much more diverse, and getting more so, and if they want to stay in business, they need to evolve. read more

Joanne was nice during my appointment and took me in last-minute after doing her daughter's nails, but I have never paid this much for any nail design, even those with extensions. I went in asking for a gel-X manicure but at the beginning of the appointment Joanne specifically and adamantly told me to keep my natural nails since they were so short (not sure what the logic in that was) and that she "wanted to make it cheaper" for me. It's my fault for not standing up for myself and asking for a price breakdown at the end - not to mention there's an automatic 20% gratuity and she doesn't believe in giving price estimates... Very disappointed and feeling ripped off.
