    I paid 180 for my toes and gelx First red flag should've been they couldn't do a simple design , they cut my cuticles terribly , they weren't even on the French and some different size I got them done this past Friday and they all popped off already my toes are good but the hands it's just crazy for the amount I paid and didn't even last a week , the pictures fool you

    I came back here to get a fill on my gel x extensions. I waited about 2 weeks to get a fill. It was my first time getting a fill for gel x but once the nail tech shaved off the top layer of my nail she started to apply acrylic over top of my nail. I'm not sure if you're suppose to use acrylic over top of gel x extensions but nonetheless, the nails still came out looking great! I also think it's important to communicate with the nail techs to ensure that you're getting what you want especially if it's a design.

    At the end of the day my nails looked like this.

    I needed to get my nails done for a last minute event, so I went here. They are definitely friendly at the shop, but whoever did my nails was rushing through to get it done. And mind you I was the only one there. Before I got to the shop I had gel x nails and I wanted to get dip for my new set. There are a couple of things that was just not acceptable: -Her activator or whatever she used before dipping on the powder was dry- my nails ending up being clumpy -they charge 10$ for cuticle removal -they reuse their equipment -it's not sanitary Overall, I would not come back. It's just not worth the money. -

    Uneven line

    I will never return after today. I came on my lunch break and was sat quickly which was great. I was asked if I wanted callus removal which I agreed. After looking at the yelp page the owner lister on 1/24 that a deluxe pedicure with callus removal and scrub is $45. I went in with gel and wanted gel so I figured $10 for removal and $10 for gel. So $65 mid service she mentioned it would be $98 dollars I said EXCUSE ME!! After that she said ok $78 all of a sudden it's $20 less!!! My french tip didn't look good and when I went to pay the woman said oh don't forget to leave me a tip wow!! The entire trip has left me completely disgusted. DO NOT STEP FOOT IN HERE!! Update feel free to review the messages how they cant explain the pricing difference after I asked never addressed their employee asking for a tip btw the staff didn't talk quick she did not go over the services there is a difference between speaking quickly and not speaking further I included pictures of the shaky line work I got on my french tip not worth $88 dollars

    Honey !!!! I been going here for 3+ years my nails are always on point never disappoints prices are very reasonable to me you get what you pay for ! They take Zelle & cash btw

    I came to this place last minute to get my eyebrows waxed and my gel-x removed. The prices I saw on the menu in photos here were $12 for eyebrows, $10 for full set removal without service, and $15 for basic manicure. All seemed super reasonable and comparable to other salons. When I went to pay, I ended up paying $60 for this service which is insane because they didn't do all that much. My eyebrows ended up being $20 which is just as much as a luxury brow place around the corner. My nails weren't cut or shaped, I didn't get a polish and somehow that ended up being $40. I was thankful they took me in right away, but it was at the expense of another customer who had been waiting before me. The eyebrow room was really dirty and I had leftover wax on my face. The entire shop was honestly pretty dirty itself, but I figured because of the prices it was fine, but the prices ended up being just as much as a more luxury nail salon I usually go to. Kathy was really nice and took care of me, but it wasn't 5 star quality service. After she removed my gel-x, the other customer I mentioned got up and left since she left her hanging to tend to me. I felt bad, so said we can do a manicure, I didn't intend to get, to help make up for that lost business(even though it wasn't my fault) Overall, this place isn't worth it and after reading the other reviews definitely felt scammed on my price, but didn't have the energy to argue! I'll be doing another review on this place from my social media accounts to make sure my followers in DTLA know to steer clear from here as well!

    I got the acrylic nails French tip for $85

    Honestly, the service was really good. I honestly felt like there was a small language barrier but then again I can't hear lol. They don't accept cards tho so be prepared with cash or Zelle. I payed $130 in total for acrylic nails and gel x pedicure. Not a bad price for what I got. Really beautiful!

    They broke my thumb natural nail and cut down and "shaped" others to look like almond and all be "same size"
    Kimberly A.

    I came in with dip powder on my nails. My natural nails were long and i wanted them removed safely and more natural length for my next set. They broke my thumb nail, she ripped it off and tried to hide the piece of my broken natural nail... She said "it was already broken" after i pulled it out of her hand. IT WASN'T, my nail was on there!!! I came into the salon to specifically NOT break my natural nails, I came in and pay money for them to remove them safely so I can keep my natural LONG nail; not to mention she cut all my other ones to make it same size - can you guess they're supposed to be almond shape.... This was my third time coming here, I wanted to find a good spot in Dtla and I thought It could be them no matter how inconvenient my walk there was, no matter that I had to charge a fee to my card to get cash out for them bc it's "cash only" and they are always trying to influence what you're in there to Get. I always want dip, the ONLY reason I walk 15 min to their location and pay stupid cash is bc they are the only Ones that still do dip - yet EVERY single time I come in they want me to get GEL INSTEAD. Not to mention, they ALWAYS want to cut my nail short. (If you want length in future sets you have to pay extra for tips) I also asked if she could put a tip to add length on my thumb since she tore it off and unbalanced the length of all my nails and she was trying to charge me..... After she denied she did it!!!! And AFTER I caught her in her lie!!! I never get on Yelp to leave reviews but this one really did a number on me. I'm always positive and forgiving but this was the last straw of their blissful ignorance. They know exactly what they're doing and why. STAY AWAAAAYYYY.

    Nail art... good old-fashion acrylic nails with white gel polish and dazzling gold tips. Her attention to detail is insane.
    Alicia A.

    My nails are flawless! The pricing here is a little bit more than some other places, but I promise it's worth every penny! You pay for what you get. Normally when I leave a nail shop I'm so meticulous I feel like I always have to reshape and refine my nails...but not when I leave here. 10/10

    Tyler W.

    Where do I start...the deceiving pricing that lead me there or the little add ins they didn't tell me till AFTER all was done. I gladly will pay $150 for a good gel acrylic set with design, but two stickers, some rhinestones and painting one letter?! To have a total of $200 on a job there the gel is already chipping...don't bother and make sure you ask $ price before ANYTHING they do. UPDATE WITHIN TWO HOURS THET TEXT ME HARASSING ME ABOUT MY REVIEW!!! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!

    One of the worst manicure and pedicures I've ever gotten. Ever. Pedicurist cut me in two different areas. Manicurist left cracks and hairs/dust all over my nails. They should have given us our nails for free or for discount for cutting me and messing up my nails. Then, my little cousin who is 13, they up sold her on callus removal... a 13 year old doesn't need callus removal. Then they kept trying to upsell her until I intervened. They took advantage and I do not like that - it's not right. Aside from the poor job and poor service, there were flies all over the salon, buzzing around me and the nail techs. It was dirty. I wish I could give this place zero stars. I am so surprised how bad a job it was because of all the good reviews and photos I saw online. I am literally speechless. The owner was not there for me to speak with but I hope she sees this review and makes some changes.

    Very quick service and beautiful nails but pricey for designs so I'd go for plain. Great spa pedicure well worth it

    Thanks Lacey, very professional. Friendly and on time. Answered all my questions. I'll be backread more

    I've been seeing Felicia for 15 years -- I followed her when she left Facial Bungalow and started…read moreher own business, driving across town because she was worth it. That loyalty made my most recent visit all the more disappointing. I had a 10:50am appointment. The day before, Felicia texted asking if I could push to 11am. I said I'd try to rearrange my plans. She replied: "let's keep the 10:45." I managed to move things around (because if she was asking, I figured she was in need, and I wanted to help) and arrived at 10:57 -- 7 minutes late by the original booking, not 15. When I walked in, Felicia told me I was 15 minutes late. I explained I'd rearranged my schedule to accommodate her request. She shrugged and said "too bad, I already booked someone afterwards.". It wasn't until I was in the room that I checked the reminder email -- original appointment: 10:50. So by her own scheduler, I was 7 minutes late, not 15. Felicia eventually gave me an extra 5 minutes to make up for the mix-up, and I appreciated that. But the cold, dismissive way she started the appointment stayed with me. That's not how you treat someone who's followed you for 15 years. Part of why I see Felicia specifically -- and not one of those high-volume places with curtain walls and hospital beds for tables (you know the ones) -- is the whole experience. A facial should be calming and restorative, and Felicia's warmth has always been as much a part of that as her technique. When that warmth disappeared at the door, it colored everything that followed. The facial itself was top notch. Felicia is genuinely skilled, stays current on products and techniques, and can deliver a top-notch treatment in her sleep. I hope this was an off day, because the person that greeted me at the door was not the warm person that I've been loyal to for a decade and a half.

I was literally trying to find the studio for the first time. They have a seven-minute grace period, which is unusually strict, particularly given how difficult their location is to navigate. I was not given clear instructions about where to park. Once you arrive, there is no sign identifying the studio by its name anywhere that I could see. The building signage/directory was in Korean, and I could not find English signage identifying the studio. As someone who does not read Korean and had never been there before, I had no obvious way of knowing where the business was located. I called approximately eight minutes after my appointment time while I was already parking and explained that I was there and that finding the parking had been confusing. I was told that my appointment had already been canceled because they only offer a seven-minute grace period. So, to be clear: I was a first-time customer who had booked approximately 30 minutes earlier, was physically at the location and parking, and was ONE MINUTE beyond their grace period--and they had already canceled my appointment. On top of that, they never notified me that they canceled it. No call. No text. Nothing. Had I not called them myself, I would have parked, gone inside, tried to navigate a building where their studio was not clearly identified to me, and apparently only then discovered that my appointment had been canceled. I completely understand businesses having late policies. What I don't understand is having such a rigid seven-minute cutoff while providing a first-time customer with inadequate information for navigating an unfamiliar and confusing location--and then offering absolutely no understanding or flexibility when that customer is already there and parking one minute beyond the cutoff. The way the phone conversation was handled was probably the most disappointing part. There was no attempt to understand the situation, help, accommodate me, or even acknowledge the confusion. It was simply that my appointment had already been canceled. The interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessarily rude. Policies are one thing; customer service is another. If you're going to have an unusually strict seven-minute grace period, then provide first-time customers with exceptionally clear parking and arrival instructions and notify them if you're canceling their appointment. A little communication, courtesy, and reasonable flexibility would have completely changed this experience. Instead, they lost a brand-new customer before I ever even made it through the door. I will not be returning.
