The ladies in this place are great.. They always remember my little girls and I when we come in, even if it's been months since our last visit. They do a good job and I love the fact that there is always enough staff there so all 3 of us can get our man's and pedis at the same time. They usually have smoothing music playing in the background, and they do something magical with my 9 year old's feet, because she falls asleep, EVERY SINGLE TIME she gets a pedicure!! Tons of colors to choose from. read more

The Hot Nails - Gel maní - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Back again! Came in this time not having ANY idea what I wanted for my nails... no idea on shape, color, anything... Best thing ever! Lol. Tracy helped me and instantly started asking me questions to get an idea of what I wanted to have done. At the end she suggested black and silver... (later she said it was based on what I was wearing) then created a "cosmic" or "cat eye" look. I absolutely Looooovee it!!! I didn't have 2 look at one thing or make any decisions... lol. She also educated me on some other options to make my nails stronger and the best shape for my nails at this length. Love how sweet she was on top of the work she does! Thank you, Tracy! read more

The Hot Nails - By Tracy! Picture doesn't capture the beauty...but these r so neat! - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

1st of all my daughter speaks, and tried to say something. Your tech was busy yapping to the other techs. Which I don't mind but don't you dare point blame. That woman deliberately ignored my daughters request. 2nd we came back yes, and the another tech did her nails over and they were better. I tipped her for her time, for re painting them without bubbles and you were rude the entire time with your evil looks at me. 3rd As a business owner or manager whate er your title is its one of leadership, but your attitude is highly unprofessional unleader like and quite honestly a poor reflection of your shop and your ability to handle customers with respect when something is wrong. I would kindly suggest you change your tone with the people who keep your lights on. read more

Tina always does a great job on my pedicure I found this location since my last nail tech moved I was in search for a new one and now my mom and daughter go to her as well definitely recommend this location and Tina read more

It is rare for me to leave a review but Hot Nails was so disappointing that I really need to warn others of this place. I usu go elsewhere for my nails but bc Hot Nails is open early on Fri, I decided to give it a try. I came here with my mom for a little quality mom-daughter time. They were aware of this when I made the appt but chose to seat us apart from each other at separate work stations. I was attending a wedding the next day (Sat) so I asked for a regular mani with French tips and a regular pedi. My specialist kept trying to upsell me to gel or acrylic. I politely declined as I just needed my nails to look put together for the wedding, and I have work on Mon where I cannot have gel or acrylic nails. For the French mani, I have always been able to choose a base color (beige, light pink, darker pink) with the white tip. However, my specialist just painted on the white tips, "cleaned up" the line, then covered my bare nails with a top coat. For the pedi, there are no massage chairs, just little whirlpool foot buckets. Def not a relaxing experience. The regular polishes used must have been sitting there for a while bc it was thick, had bubbles and did not apply evenly. My mom said her specialist thinned out her polish with diluent, which speaks to its terrible quality. As we were sitting in the drying stations, the polish already started to bubble and little bumps were noted so I immediately asked them to fix it. They tried to say it was my fault for not being careful about touching things before the polish dried completely! I am very careful with my nails after I get them done and regular mani pedis from other locations have lasted me several days to 1 week. I did not do anything harsh that day - no cooking, no dishes, no laundry, no chores. Just lounged around watching TV and by later that night, the edges of my polish already started to peel back. By Sat morning, less than 24 hours, it had already chipped off! I did not have time to get them redone or removed before my friend's wedding so I had to attend with my nails looking terrible! I cannot believe I paid money for this. I want a refund. Worst nail salon I've ever been to!!! read more

The Hot Nails - Tina is awesome! - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I love this place! I was introduced to it by one of my girlfriends and now I drive all the way from LA to get my nails done here. Vivian is amazing -- she's very talented and has great intuition as to what nail shapes, colors, etc. flatter her individual clients and makes great suggestions. She's never steered me wrong. To top it off, this place is extremely reasonably priced. This place is worth the drive! I'm a big fan. read more

I have students visiting from Germany and they went to this location without checking the yelps and one of the girls nails were just horrible. She called and asked to have them removed and get a refund but the attitude over the phone was hostile - they would do no refunds but redo them which she was too scared to do. She went to a different salon and all the staff looked at her nails in horror - now she's out $60 plus had to pay for a new set. I'm sorry but customer service is everything and this place needs to learn that . read more

I'm giving them 5 starts because their service was wonderful, I was coming from Texas and needed a nail shop that would take me in with no appointment and they did. I loved my manicure and I decided to do my eyebrows there too and the lady did amazing. read more

The shop has been open for a few months now after closing due to COVID-19. As expected, they take all the appropriate precautions and are following the CDC guidelines for social distancing. Made an appointment with Tracy my favorite nail technician and was seen promptly. I showed her what I wanted to do and she did exactly what I asked for! She's so sweet and does a great job every time. read more

Also- very clean read more

My first time at this salon and I really wanted to like this place since they are open early and it accommodates my morning. But, unfortunately my nails did not last. The gel didn't even last a week and cost $40. Not only did it not last but she didn't do anything to fix the cuticles! Save your $, go elsewhere. read more

Old school shop . No pedicure chairs . Bucket style . Asked for my fingernails cleaned /basic manicure along with basic pedicure. Woman was on phone while she "cleaned" my nails . Most of my cuticles were still there extremely sloppy cut. Unprofessional and I gave her 5$ tip on top of that . Won't be back . Pedicure was wack . Remember always do the basic somewhere first to see how they treat you :) read more

BEST NAIL SALON EVER! If i could give them 100 stars i would!!! I never felt so much like family in a salon. I will literally fly or drive miles to get touched by TRACY'S artwork of nails. She is so intune with what i need that i do not even try to pick anything, all i do is tell her the mood and color im going for and she makes it happen EVERY SINGLE TIME! It's like she is a nail guru or something lol but seriously such an amazing person as well as her husband who runs the place he is like big papa! The salon is so organized with labels and everything is so clean and neat that it is like your in a spa. They also cater to their clients with waer, coffee, & some cookies while you wait. I never will go any where else!!! TRACY & TEAM YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!! read more

Always do the best. You can make reservations but I always come in without one because it's a spontaneous visit when I go.

2/29/2020 came in around 4, Crystal did my gel mamicure $23. Crystal was very fast, efficient, thorough and the end result was perfection!!! This only took her 20 minutes. She was gentle and never hurt me :) :) This is my third time and haven't had any issues. James did my last ombre pink nails and he's also very nice. My husband even told me my white gel are the BEST that I've ever had. read more

The Hot Nails - White Gel Manicure by Crystal :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

DO NOT COME HERE, this would be 0 stars if u could!! The good reviews are super deceiving. First of all this salon is gross and they reuse all of the products and it just looks gross. Second of all if you like holding your own feet up while your getting your toes done this is the place for you. They also have some Tupperware for you to rest your feet.... Supper fancy!!!!! Let's get to the nails though. I was getting a refill on my acrylics which should be simple right? No! All my nails are different shapes and different sizes!! Then I picked pink and my nails are literally a light light light pink. But worst of all they is nail polish all around my nails. I am super disappointed with this service and would not recommend this to anyone not to mention how bad it hurt getting my actual nails done. This review is coming from someone who never complains, it's that bad!!!! Alrighty y'all so a little update and another pic!! So as far as the pedicure goes I already lost my pinky toenail nail polish. In a whole nail!!! Wonder which one comes off tomorrow!! I'm excited to play a daily guessing game of which toe is coming off next!!!! read more

My nails were okay but the chatter in the place among the employees was non-stop in Vietnamese and so loud. Never did the woman doing my nails try to converse with me. Complete lack of customer service and had to wait over 15 min for my scheduled appt. Never going back. read more

Reasonable prices, clean place, and patient personnel. Most will do what you ask for, and won't pressure you to pay for a service you are not interested on getting. read more

I find this nail salon to be "hit or miss", but more likely to be a miss! Today I was hoping to squeeze in a pedicure, but my usual salon was booked and I know Hot Nails takes walk-in's. Just to be sure, I called and the lady told me, "come now, no wait", so I rushed out the door and drove up 5 minutes later. Unfortunately, I had to wait 15-20 minutes until I finally said something! They gave some excuse as to why I was "next" and then seated me right away. As far as their customer service goes, I give them a 1! They are always rushed and careless when doing my nails, even filing my fingers several times because they are usually looking around or paying more attention to their personal conversations. I remember one time I came here and the lady doing my manicure was FaceTiming with her son for 20 minutes!!! The ambiance isn't inviting as you can not hear the TV or music over their personal conversations. Not to mention the location is in a parking lot that you are almost guaranteed to get your car banged into, so I park on the street now and just walk. At least they only charge $14 for a pedicure, proving that you get what you pay for. My nail polish chipped within hours and I ended up painting them myself by the night's end. read more

The Hot Nails - Tammy working on my Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

One of my good friends lives in the Southbay area and so while I was in her area, I told her I needed a pedicure badly and she took me here. It was the day before Thanksgiving, and they were crowded but I was in and out in a jiffy! The lady who did my toes was very friendly (I think her name was Tina) and she honestly did a really good job. This place does not waste your time; I still got a bomb leg/foot massage but she got right to it. The place itself is big and spacious to accommodate a lot of stations. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because they don't unwrap the utensils every time which is what I prefer, BUT I still felt this place was clean nonetheless. The best part about my pedi here was the price: $12!!! If I had more time, I would've gotten a mani/pedi because my gf said it's like $20 for both. Where I live, it's impossible to find a cheap but good nail place. So if you're in this area, I highly recommend you make this your new spot! read more

I used to come here back In 2008-09 but stopped after moving Las Vegas, recently moved back and decided to go get a new set here. The woman who was doing my nails ruined the shape, didn't listen to how I wanted them, was annoyed by me even saying anything to her on how I wanted my nails done. First of all, it's your job to listen to me and do my nails the way that I ask them to be done. Why act as if I'm at fault for even saying anything to you... Well back to my nails, one of my hand is longer then the other, more narrow, and not as matte. Really disappointed. I won't be going back here again. Rather make a trip to Pedro to get my nails done right then go walking distance to a shop nearby read more

The Hot Nails - And she couldn't even clean my cuticles - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I've been going to this nail salon for almost 14 years! And they have always done a good job with my nails. I never ask for anything to extra, basic acrylic set with coffin style. This past week I was surprised by their service big downer! I made an appointment for my ever first time (reminder been going for years) and for some reason I did not receive that person. As a matter a fact they made me jump from one person to another. it was ridiculous! And seriously the manager decided to give a $2 discount...insulting. My major question why?! I am an easy understanding person but no they didn't even explain to me why.... This was my first review and my last for Hot nails. And that was definitely my last time going. Time to search. read more

First timer here I came because it had good reviews for the most part . I came in on a Sunday early and it was empty I waited like 5 mins I got a gel manicure . The tech lady was very nice (Tina) and she took my nail feedback very nicely (my nails had a bit on bumps on it from the filing) but no big deal she fixed it and she was kind . Will review again to see how long the gel nails My gel nails lasted about 2 and a half weeks ! Will def come back So came back to this place and got the same gel manicure , the lady (Nancy) did my nails . I felt she kinda rushed it a bit and I like the color of my nails I just thought they didn't look neat , clean but it's not too bad read more

The 4 staff members were taking care of customers and talking in their native language from start to finish, which gave me a headache.

I've been with hot nails since their first location in Wilmington, when I heard they were moving to their new location on Sepulveda I followed them in a heart beat! I'll be honest the only time I'm 100% satisfied is when I get my pedicure from Tracy, she's so sweet and is very great at what she does. The only reason I don't give them a 5/5 is because I just think the other technicians aren't as well crafted as Tracy , they do good work but Tracy is amazing read more

Came in again and got another gel manicure! Love the color as always, perfect for winter. Thanks Tracy! read more

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE!!!!!! Asked to take off my gel extensions but this lady treated them like acrylics and used a fake nail to scrape off my gel extensions. Even I know to soak them and file them off. Broke 2 of my actual nails and told me its because my nails are short and too thin but all of my other nails were fine. The pedicure was trash as well bumps under polish and uneven nails. When she was done with my manicure I was disgusted the shape is trash told her to fix them to square and she just ran the file over it two times. There was hair fuzz and bubbles in multiple of my nails. Do not come here paid 53$ for this bs. read more

I love this place!! Been coming to the hot nails for 20yrs & will continue to come here until they go out of business. Im not gonna lie, i have tried other places but i always came back so i came to a conclusion that this is "my spot". Whether u make an appointment or come in as a walk in, service is always great. They have a wide selection of colors (both regular & gel) & they offer facials & waxing as well. They always have pleasant music playing & sometimes videos that accompany the songs. Their place is kept clean & they offer complimentary coffee​,water,cookies & candies. They stay open late 7 days a week. Couldnt ask for anything else. read more

I've gone there for years never had a problem. Until recently they charged me my total of $85 twice. I brought it up to them and asked for my refund and they refused because "I was confused and didn't know what I was talking about". I called my bank and they were able to reverse it that same day but they watmed me that it was possible that they would charge it again. Sure enough they did. I called the nail shop again and the manager, james, starts yelling through the phone and threatens to take me to court. Over what ? A mistake they made and don't want to refund. Be careful and check your mobile banking apps read more
