    Zulay is an amazing nail tech. One of my coworkers told me about her. I texted her to set up an appt and she responded fast. She does require a $20 deposit for new clients but it goes toward the services. She takes her time with everything, has a lot of knowledge about nails and you can tell she is passionate about it. I've gotten 2 sets with tips and they were amazing. My last set was done on my actual nails. She put acrylic on top and they came out super nice. Her prices are extremely affordable. You pay for what you get basically. I highly recommend her services. So if your around the area or even far make an appointment with her and see her work for yourself.

    Waited a month for my first appointment with Zulay. Boy was it worth it! Seriously, not only is she down to earth, she's super professional and amazing at her work! I'm super duper picky when it comes to my nails and like very unique designs; Zulay nailed it! I'm loving my MMA free nails. I will never ever go anywhere else again!

    I've been coming to Zulay for several months now, she's an amazing artist and has tons and tons of acrylic colors and crystals and charms to choose from. She's really easy to talk to and we always have tons to say during our sessions! The ambience in her studio is quiet and comfortable and perfect to feel pampered! I love how when you go to her, all the attention is on you, that's very important to me. Her ideas are really good and she helps me think of what I want when I go in with no ideas! She is very clean and sanitary which is obviously a plus, I definitely recommend her!

    I am Disney crazy! Zulay nailed what was in my brain!

    You need to text ahead of time for a appointment . Great service. Her nails last and she does a beautiful job. Great price and I stuck for life with her now when I want acrylic or gel.

    Found her on instagram and so happy i did! Zulay is a crafty gal with such talent! The only thing i hate is soon she is going to blow up and not have enough time for me

    The last set of nails I got from her !

    I first found her account on Instagram and I fell in love !! I Had been looking for someone that does nails like she does for awhile so I was so happy ! I texted her to make an appointment and I was so excited ! She did my birthday nails and they were so perfect ! They were over the top and lots of bling just how I wanted ! They lasted me over 5 weeks and not a single rhinestone fell off , and yes I still cook and clean . It's seriously the best set of nails I've ever gotten . I've gone back with her about 3 times now , and my latest set was amazing . Her studio is inside of a beauty salon , so be on the lookout for that ! She takes her time with each person and I never felt rushed . I always felt like she truly cared about what I wanted . She can go as over the top or as simple as you want and you will not be disappointed . I now live about an hour away from her , but it is so worth it , I'll never go with anyone else ! if you're looking for a great nail tech , PLEASE go to her , you'll never want to go anywhere else !

They swapped what was put on TV based on what the customer preference (sealer from calming mountains to AGT (my friend and I a relatively young and we enjoyed and had our eyes on the tv)). It was done fast and clean AND even got pod with my nails at the end! I requested my nails towards a reference photo with some changes and they more than happily complied. Complimentary water! AND they said come back anytime and they fix our nails up! (so sad we don't live in Cali - we are just visiting) Cons: When they did the purple UV light it did hurt a little bit (felt like tiny shots), but they asked if it hurts I said no cus really it hurts for a less than a second! When we went in the building to only have four people working, so I see why their schedule seems compact All throughout a great place I recommend!

He started measure gel x tips and I had to remind him we were doing acrylic. He should have said that he cannot do acrylic because, he cannot do acrylic. It was some of the worst acrylic application I have ever seen in my life. Sloppy, lazy, trash. I should have got up after seeing his acrylic application on my first hand. That's my fault. When he was done filing I asked if he could even out the nails because they were lumpy. He proceeded to make the shape even worse and still lumpy. I asked if I should wash my hands after filing (every shop I have ever gone to in my life has told me to) and he said no. I should have stopped him here too. It took him an hour and a half just to put the acrylic on. At this point I realized he was either talentless or purposely messy my nails up. So I skipped the nail art I asked for and asked just for plain gel polish on top. At the end I told the lady at the front that I hated my nails and showed her and she understood and told me I could come back and have someone else fix them. Initially I accepted the offer but I have since canceled the appointment. I would rather die than trust this shop ever again. If I could give Jay 0 stars I would. Beware, this guy is horrible.

There is no one better than Tammy because she loves what she does and always strives for excellence. She is an artist and is always down to try new designs. Sometimes, I love going to her and telling her to do whatever she wants and they always turn out super cute! You have to make an appointment and she works out of her home but she is very flexible and accommodating. She is one of the most friendliest people you will ever meet and you'll never be disappointed with your nails.

I started seeing Tammy about a year and a half ago and I have followed her wherever she goes since. Her current studio is super cozy and I love the fact that her services are one on one, that means no one else in the studio while you get your services. She also doesn't work with acrylic so there is no bad chemical smell to deal with which is something else I love. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. Tammy has a great artistic sense and her attention to detail is what I love most about her nail artistry. She has helped me grow my nails out with gel overlay and my toes have never gotten as many compliments as they have after I started seeing her for pedis. The nail art Tammy creates is so fun. Like I said before, she is very talented and is a great collaborator whenever I have a hard time deciding on a design. Shes at her most creative when working without limitations but can also easily make an inspiration picture your very own special moment. I enjoy simple yet intricate designs that won't interfere with my mostly active lifestyle. I have made it to 4 weeks in between appointment when traveling but prefer to see her regularly after 2.5-3 weeks to avoid potential breakage since I grew my nails out. It's also super addicting to have gorgeous nails and toes so I try to be as consistent as possible. When I started seeing Tammy I had broken up with my regular manicurist of 5+ years. My nails would often break because of the poor care that my natural nails received, they were being overly filed, my fingers were overly soaked, overly cut cuticles, wrongly shaped nails that would break easily and I would walk away feeling unhappy more often than not towards the end. Tammy changed all that! Getting my nails done is a lovely self care routine now and I would be lost without it! Last thing I'll add is that I drive from Santa Monica to San Gabriel and I don't think twice about it because I value quality and attention to detail above the convenience of and uncertainty of going to a random salon down the street. Oh and one last thing... the charm, jewels, decals, chromes, glitters and shell selection is AMAZING!!!!!

    I chose this salon expecting a professional experience. When a business advertises licensed…read moreprofessionals and charges premium prices, I expect professional-quality work. Unfortunately, this appointment fell well below that standard. I was originally quoted $80 for a Gel-X set, but once I arrived I was told there would be an additional $10 charge just to remove my existing Gel-X. From there, nearly every option came with another surcharge. Glitter was an additional charge, and placing the glitter at the base of the nail instead of the tip increased the price even further. The pricing structure felt confusing and constantly changing, making it difficult to know what the final cost would be. After hearing the additional charges, I decided against getting a new set and paid $45 for a manicure after the Gel-X removal. For $45, I expected my natural nails to leave looking polished and professionally finished. Instead, I left with: * Jagged, uneven nail edges that were not properly filed * Visible product residue still left on multiple nails * Uneven nail surfaces * Dry, unfinished cuticles * Nails that looked incomplete rather than professionally manicured I took photos immediately after leaving because I couldn't believe this was the finished result. The service itself was also disappointing. My technician, Annie, repeatedly stopped working on my nails to answer phone calls and attend to other matters. The appointment felt interrupted and rushed instead of relaxing. A manicure should feel calm and focused. This did not. The salon also raised concerns for me. The supply/storage area visible to customers was cluttered and disorganized, and I observed nail files being reused, which made me question the sanitation standards. Even checkout was frustrating. I wanted to leave a tip for the technician who performed my pedicure because she did a nice job, but the payment process made it difficult to direct the gratuity to the correct person. The biggest disappointment is that none of these issues should exist regardless of the price. Whether a manicure costs $25 or $45, customers should leave with nails that are smoothly filed, free of leftover product, and professionally finished. Those are basic expectations--not luxury extras. I left feeling disappointed, overcharged, and with nails that I could have filed more carefully at home myself. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon.

I arrived about 10 minutes early for my appointment, but my service didn't begin until about 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment. I understand that delays can happen, but there was very little communication about the wait. My nail tech was quiet, which I didn't mind at all. However, when I asked questions throughout my appointment, she either didn't respond or didn't acknowledge them, which made the experience feel uncomfortable. I originally wanted acrylic nails, but I was persuaded to get Gel-X instead because I was told they would last longer. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. I wasn't planning on leaving a review, but after only one week, several of my nails are already lifting. For a $120 service, I expected much better quality and durability. At this point, they feel comparable to press-on nails. Overall, I'm disappointed because I spent a lot of money expecting a long-lasting, professional set, especially for a special occasion. I hope this feedback helps improve both the customer experience and the quality of the service.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and seated right away. The salon had cute decor, and while it wasn't overly busy, there were still a good number of customers inside. I was short on time, so I just wanted a simple gel manicure and hoped to be in and out. The nail technician who helped me was sweet and nice. I mentioned that I'd been standing outside in the sun waiting to get seated at One Piece Cafe, and she kindly offered me a bottle of water. I chose a bright orange shade that's perfect for summer, and I was finished in about 30 minutes. The salon was clean, and my manicure was done very neatly, which I loved.

The technician kept pushing different colors and designs, reassuring me to "trust her" instead of following the photo I provided. While we did eventually switch back to my original color choices during a correction process, I was still charged for the adjustment. Beyond the miscommunication , the physical application has some noticeable flaws. The structure of the nails feels a bit warped, and instead of lying flat and flush, they point noticeably straight up.I really appreciate this salon's potential when working with Rick, but this particular visit missed the mark on both communication and technical execution.
