    Sparkly manicure and my signature polka dot pedicure
    Tara S.

    I've been going to this salon for as long as they've been in business...20 years? 25 years? I used to see Amy before she left and now I see Yvonne and Wendy. Yvonne puts extra work in my gel manicure to make it last longer because I'm so hard on my nails and Wendy does an amazing job on my signature polka dot pedicure. Both ladies are the best. The front desk staff is always pleasant and helpful. The salon is clean. In two decades I've never had an issue with lifting (I used to do acrylics), infection, or germs. I love watching HGTV while I'm being pampered.

    Geo manicure that was not cleaned up at all

    I'm sorry but please look at my nails. They were not cleaned up at all and this is the next day. Since I had chrome I thought after a few hand washes that "messy" look around the sides of my nail would go away but no. I'm just confused on how they let me leave like this. It also took forever to get into my appointment. It was at 4:30 and they didn't take me in until 4:50. They're nice people but they are all over the place almost like they're just rushing and doing everything as fast as they can to get it over with. Idk what to do ab this, I might go back to make them redo it but I feel bad so I'm just leaving a review to let y'all know to save your money and time. Btw this gel manicure was the same price as acrylics I got at another place in SCV. So they're pricey, and not even for a better job lol.

    The nail techs here are all amazing especially Nikki. I'm all set for my Disney visit !

    Fun Halloween manicure from Hannah and Sami.   10 out of 10 love this design
    Tami H.

    Absolutely love the fun designs that I get at the Nail Forum. Always friendly and timely. Clean environment.

    I had to be at work or else I would have stayed to have these redone. Sending me the wrong confirmation time and then letting me leave like this is crazy work. Mishaps happen but leaving with color all over my cuticles had me shook. I've been coming here for a while but one bad experience can really put a bad taste in your mouth about a place.

    Very open layout
    Shannon C.

    My mom and I have been coming here for almost 20 years and have always had the best service from Sami! When I bring friends or my daughter with me, we also see Nancy and have always loved our experience with both of them. They are so gentle and friendly and our nails always look amazing. The polish and the beautiful artwork always last a long time because the quality of their products are the best out there. I've also had the waxing services with Sami and it's always gone well. Love how clean it is there and the open layout. Weekdays are best if you want a more serene experience as the weekends are pretty busy.

    Does this place open a pack of sterilized tools for each new person?

    Yes they do! That is why I've been going for over 10 years. All the technicians are fabulous!

From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed. Tessy, the owner, makes a point to acknowledge every client. That personal touch just sets the tone. The salon is spotless (which matters so much to me), and the entire team is warm, professional, and incredibly kind. What really impresses me is the consistency. Every single member of her large staff of nail professionals has worked on my nails at some point, and the level of care and quality is always the same. They stay current with all the latest trends, colors, and techniques, and you can tell they're properly trained and take pride in their work. I always leave feeling taken care of and happy with the results. Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable, high-quality service every time.

However, sanitation and feeling welcome is what resonates with me most. I have been coming here since Summer 2024. Holli and Emma have always worked with me. However, I have come to know many other nail specialists at the shop and I would use any of them. Lately I have been changing things up regularly with my nails and Emma and Holli are very creative. I do enjoy the full spa manicure and pedicure option. My current life cycle demands pampering :) What I can tell you is I have gone to at least a dozen different nail spas over the years and if I move on to another spa it is more than likely due to the cleanliness & friendliness factor. Forever Nails has plenty of parking. They take all forms of payments and have been very easy to get a hold of to make appointments. Still a client and hoping you will give them a try as well.

However, I have been feeling recently that every time I go, there is an attempt to squeeze more money out of me and my last visit today confirmed that. I went in and asked for a full set and on my toes, two of the chipped toenails to be re-polished(the pedicure I had was from their salon). The front desk person asked me three more times "do you want a pedicure" and I specifically said "no" and said what I wanted. When I sat down and someone began to work on my nails, they immediately started taking off all of the polish. I immediately said "that's not what I wanted, I only wanted two toes redone". The rep that I spoke to walked by and laughed. It became clear that despite what I asked for they were going to do what they wanted and charge me. I immediately told the lady once she removed all of the polish off of my feet that I do not want any additional service done to my feet. I was also getting a full set. The full set came out perfect. A lady later sat next to me and she asked for the cost of a full set and she was also getting coffin shape, the exact service I was getting. He quoted her $55. So imagine my surprise when I got up to pay and with my very simple design, my final tab was $75!!! I immediately asked what was the difference in the price. He said your set was longer and she wanted a short set. I asked " so a $20 increase because my nails are slightly longer"? I got a text granting me 10% off of my service because it was my birthday. He looked at it and said " OK five dollars off". I was frustrated by the up charge and just paid and immediately walked out without thinking. It wasn't until I got to my car that I started thinking 10% off should have been more than five dollars. Sure enough I should've received $8.50 off. Now I'm not going to make a big deal about three dollars. However, it's the principle of you send me a discount code and don't fully honor it, and then you frivolously up charge, and then you try to stick on a service that I did not request. I had been coming here for almost 2 years and I loved the work but I've had this type of similar experience with my last 3 to 4 visits. I get the same thing and my nails are never an intricate or complicated design and I realize my price is always different. I feel like they just tell me a price and because I am so trusting, I never question it until my last visit and my visit today confirms what I had been feeling. They have officially lost a regular customer! Even though I live in Valencia, I feel like it might just be best for me to find a better nail shop closer to LA.

    I normally don't like posting negative reviews, but I feel like people should know about our…read moreexperience. Back in March 2026, my mom and I went in for pedicures. We always enjoyed coming here because of Kim -- she is truly a sweetheart and always kind to us. During our visit, Philip did my mom's pedicure and then started talking to her about getting her eyebrows permanently tinted. He quoted her $500 and promised that with two visits, the results would be permanent and last 5-10 years. The manager was there during the conversation as well, and both of them were very persistent in convincing my mom to do it. My mom was excited and trusted them, so she agreed. After the first appointment, she was very happy with the results. Philip and the manager specifically told us to call back in two weeks for the touch-up appointment because that second visit was necessary to make the results permanent. Two weeks later, when I called, everyone suddenly acted nervous and suspicious. First, they told me Philip was on vacation and to call back in a week. When I called again, the manager told me Philip no longer worked there because he had been fired for stealing money. I then asked what they were going to do about my mom's eyebrows since the tint was already fading. The manager said she would call me back with a solution. She never called back. I later went in person to ask either for the work to be completed or for a refund, since we paid for a service that was never finished. The manager told me there was nothing they could do. It's really disappointing and sad how easily they took advantage of my mom and took our hard-earned money for an unfinished service. We trusted them, and they completely failed to honor what they promised.
