I got a pedicure and callus remover at U Need Nails, and Ms. Diane took care of me. She's so nice and proactive always checking to make sure I'm comfortable. The customer service was excellent! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Thank you once again, U Need Nails! read more

This place has that small family business charm so you always leave feeling like family. The appointment system can be a bit liberal because customers can take longer but at the end product is always solid. My gfs nails always come out exactly the way she wants them and pricing is also reasonable. read more

You can make a quick call to book an appointment as early as the same day. Also love how you arrive for your appointment and they have things ready for you! The vibe is chill! And the work is nice! read more

Don't come here! I've came before for pedicure and I've never had a problem till I went with a new girl that made me bleed and kept digging in my toe that's already bleeding horribly, she finished my pedicure with my toe still bleeding and I went to another lady so she could try making it stop bleeding which actually helped. Now my toe is infected. Plus they made me pay full price?? read more

I went in today for a pedicure. I love the way they do my pedicure. I ask for the $35 pedicure and when I came to pay it was $50 +$1 for using my card. I ask why $50 and not what I ask for and the lady that did my pedicure said that it was because of a gel that she added. She never ask me if I wanted the gel. This is not the first time they over charged me. I think I will have to look for a different nail place. read more

Great place! Ask for Daisy she's the bomb ! I did have to wait a bit I recommend making an appointment. read more

Felt uncomfortable and they kept insisting on doing acrylic since according to one of the employees she said "it's too much work" and "gel x is better" when I'm literally paying them. Another employee took over and while she was doing my nails she was hurting my thumb with the tool n I told her but she just kept "working on it" which made me bleed and tried to cover it with a towel. I just told her that my nails were fine like that and she said "what da Fawk" n I told her I'm still paying her n stuff and I ended up paying and when I was walking away her n the First Lady that "helped" me out both laughed. This is my first time here and never going back! read more

Ryan and Wendy are the best! Always seeing me when I come in from out of town! Thank you

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! do not recommend . so I wanted acrylic nails and not gel one I ask her Do you do acrylic nail? worker was like WE DONT DO ACRYLIC NAILS. I was like ok then I don't want it thank you. I guess her manager stops me and says We do acrylic nails, and the worker blamed me saying that I never told her that I wanted acrylic nails. when that was the first thing I ask her?? so her and manager or whatever she was started arguing. I had it walk away and just left without any nails done at all. wasted time. all I wanted was acrylic nails. read more

OMG a 1+ hour drive I take because Bryan is awesome!!! My nails last long and look so nice.

Beware. This place does not sterilize their instruments. I was at the pedicure station waiting to get a pedicure and I was sitting next to a girl that had really bad toe fungus. The nail lady was done with her and I witnessed her going to the back and she only washed the instruments under the water sink. She had the audacity to try to use the same tools on me. I asked her if sterilized it and she said " I'll clean it again with alcohol" What a joke. People pay attention. read more

I come here strictly for Wendy to do my pedicure. Call ahead and make an appointment with her as she is normally busy especially on weekends. I love the way she shapes my nails, she is also very neat, delicate and very most importantly detailed. She doesn't rush to try to finish you. I've been coming to her since earlier this year and I would highly recommend her. She never tried to upsell you which is a plus. read more

Helen argued with me about my nails telling me that my fingers are crooked so that's why my nails were uneven and shaped incorrectly.... Do not let her do your acrylics!! Not even a fill !! She messed up my nails completely, telling me well next time make an appointment me with Ryan or someone's else here ....!!?? That was really her excuse... if you can't do them correctly or are incapable of completing a job say it from the beginning... she tried to make me pay for something that wasn't even worth the price & blamed my fingers for her lack of attention. She cut me three times and I asked her to please stop using the file so heavily and told her that none of the nails matched in size & continued to respond with "they are fine, you can't tell", it's clearly noticeable especially the shaping.. since when is a coffin or ballerina nail round ?! read more

I don't normally post reviews but I was really disappointed. I normally get my nail done in LA but decided to go to a place near my home. Big regret, there are a lot of technicians and my review is only base on the tech that assisted me. His work was sloppy he seems disorganized with equipment. My nails(hand) gel polish chipped after 3 days (it has never happened to me before) my nails were over cut and left uneven, the skin around my nails were irritated for 2 days (peeling) I think it was due to the liquid he used to soften the cuticles. read more

U Need Nails - Gel X - Nail Salons Near Me - South Gate, California

Went on a Thursday around 6 pm. It wasn't really packed. As soon as we sat we were called. I wanted plain red gel nails. The last tran I think her name is was really friendly but I don't like how she did my nails at all... the back of the nail feels rough like she didn't do it right. And feels bumpy.... totally disappointed. She seemed in a rush and I don't understand why... (my friend and I were the only ones there at this point) This place used to be good. Wondering what changed. 3 stars because I love how the other lady did my pedicure. My toenail was broken and idk what she did but now my toenail is back lol and looking cute in red. Some type of powder I think. She also did eyebrows with wax but those were super ehhhh!! Only good thing was the pedicure that's all. read more

I've been coming to this spot for quite some time now. It was my first time getting a facial wax and I am sooooo disappointed. I am furious.... For an upcoming wedding I decided to get waxed toward my bottom chin area and was left very red and in pain. Thought it would get better once time passed and went home. The next day, I could clearly see burn marks or some type of mark from improperly ripping the wax off of my face. It worries me that they offer waxing for all part of the face and body.... Please be aware. read more

First time back here (since the start of the pandemic) was two weeks ago. I was extremely satisfied with the service that day that I came back after the recommended time. Summer time is always busy, so naturally the estimated time of service was 40 mins. I asked if I could go to the bank and come back. Front desk said it was okay, and even offered to text me. I arrived back right on time. And I immediately felt so relaxed as I sat on their massaging chair while getting my toes done. My nail technician even provided a short massage, which was also nice. I went in for a pedicure, and the service was 5/5, hence I left my mail technician a tip. Overall, everyone works so diligently, and I like that Front desk is also very welcoming. I will continue to support this local business. read more

U Need Nails - I got a fill and cut down - Nail Salons Near Me - South Gate, California

Been coming here for over a year now. Ryan is the best for manicure. Wendy is the best for waxing. I love my nails. I would not go any place else! I wish I could rate her 0 stars, but Ryan deserves to be recognized for his amazing work. Update: Ryan is on vacation so I had to have another person do my nails. I figured, "it's just a refill anyways, it'll be ok." Please. Do yourself a favor and never do your nails with Vicky. She almost cut me once, cut me the second time, then called me "sensitive." WTF is that?!?! She left 2 of my nails crooked and left me paint on my fingers because "it'll come off." I'll definitely need to come back as soon as Ryan is back from vacation so he can fix her mess. (All pictures with red nails is Vicky's work) read more
