Lala Nails & Spa

I just tried Lala Nails for the first time and I am very pleased. From the initial phone call speaking to a very friendly man regarding their prices and availability, to the actual service I received, everything was great. The nail technician, Nancy, did a thorough job removing my old gel polish, and she gave me a great manicure. Considering how much other places charge, I consider $ 12 for a mani a steal. After the manicure my nails look very neat and nice. The facility itself is nothing fancy (it’s in the same building as the gas station) but it appears clean and organized. Wide selection of nail polish colors is a nice bonus. As a plus, the technician was not forcing some canned small talk on me, as many of them do (what do you work, where do you live, etc — feels more like an interrogation to me) — instead, she worked quietly, focused on the task, and I was free to relax and enjoy. I will most definitely be going back.

A welcome addition to Del Valle!
Located in a new strip mall in the middle of nowhere (except for the surrounding neighborhoods), this full service nail salon and spa is a welcome addition to our area.
As an 8-​year resident of Del Valle, I’ve gotten very used to having to travel 30 minutes for any amenities. I’m used to not having a grocery store or a pharmacy and actually considered having a party when the Dollar General opened up down the road. I am a firm believer that you should patronize your local stores so, with that, belief, I ventured into Lala Nails and Spa yesterday.
I needed a pedicure and I was admittedly nervous about walking into a new place. I’m 9 months pregnant, so the last thing I need is to risk infection in an unclean environment. Luckily, the salon was spotlessly clean! The pedicure chairs were new (and boy did the massage action feel great on my aching muscles) and it was obvious that all of the utensils were being cleaned and sterilized to the highest caliber.
The staff was very friendly and attentive and seemed genuinely glad I was there. And the prices??? FANTASTIC! My 45-​min spa pedicure was only $ 23 and the french-​tip polish was FREE! That might have only been a «spring special» but it was a welcome surprise for sure.
Along with nail services they also do waxing, massages and facials. I have yet to try any of those services, but now that I feel comfortable there, the prices and atmosphere are enticing enough to draw me back for sure.
To my fellow Del Valle residents: This place is worth a try! If we want smal businesses to open and thrive in our neighborhood we must give them our business — so go give Lala Nails a try, even if it’s just for a quick polish change!
