Olani Nails & Spa

I went in there without an appointment and they were able to take care of me immediately. It was my first time in here and I must say I am very pleased with the service I received. The lady that took care of me had such great attention to detail she made sure to shape my nails perfectly. I asked for an ombré design and she was so patient dabbing my nails with a sponge to make it ombré. She then proceeded to place every single stone individually and exactly as they were in the inspiration picture I showed her. I’m so in love with my nails and will definitely be recommending this place.

This was probably the best nail salon I’ve been to. I came in to have my acrylics taken off and a shellac manicure and it was only $ 21! This place is super affordable and my manicurist took the time to file out the acrylics instead of ripping it off or other painful methods that other places have done. They also have $ 5 off $ 20 if you check in on Unilocal or a $ 10 for $ 15 deal that you can purchase. I’ll definitely be coming back because it’s really close to my apartment and super affordable!

I love this place. They shaped my nails perfectly! Color was even when dried and the entire process didn’t take a long time at all. I’d suggest making an appointment by calling ahead. The only downside is that there’s only one lady that can do designs.

Rude to me the moment I walked in the door. I left to go get my nails done at a place that will at least greet me with some kindness and respect. Not only was she rude to me, she was rude yelling at me while doing the nails of another customer. No thanks, there’s plenty of other places to spend my money at.

First time here today. I scheduled an appointment yesterday. I was seen immediately and the guy did a perfect job with my fill. He cleaned them up really well (honestly better than the 3 previous spots I’ve went to I the past 6 or so months.) I asked for some geometric nail art and he did really nicely. I was impressed. I’m not giving it a 5 star because I wish they had told me that nail art is an extra $ 10 dollars. My total was $ 26. If I had known I wouldn’t of been as disappointed with my total. But other than that my experience was great. I will post a picture.

This place is great, I went in on a fluke because my nail broke and the place I go to was closed. I will now continue to go! I have long almond shaped nails, I have been to a few nail salons in the past few months and this one by far knows how to properly shape your nails. While getting my nails done I noticed other ladies getting their pedis, looked like they where getting the best leg massages ever! If it hadn’t been so close to closing I would have got one to! This place doesn’t cut corners! I’m excited to go back in 2 weeks for my fill :)

I had a great experience today at this nail salon making it my go to place from now on. My nails and eye brows look amazing!

I had to come back and take away two stars. The owner sent me a message, saying she was a new owner and offered a small discount, if I’d come back and try them again. First, she was the owner back then, too, I guess she thought I wouldn’t notice. And… that offer came 3 months after I left my review. She gets the one star for arrogance and what I can only call an attempt at humor.

I have been meaning to write a review for this place and so finally I have come around to do one.
About less than a month ago I took my boyfriend’s mom to try out this place. I was getting super nervous since I wanted her to have a good time and it was the only nail salon around that was open on a Sunday and until 7, enough time for us to get there after my work.
When we got there, there were still a few people who were being helped but we only waited 20 minutes before we were seated. The staff was really friendly, especially to my boyfriend’s mom. Other places would just give her a nod or a simple yes or no when she would ask questions but here, they actually had a good conversation with her which she appreciated. I appreciated it because I was able to hear her rave about how good of a gf I am for her son.
For both of our nails the end product was great. She absolutely loved the colors she picked for both toes and nails. I loved my color for my nails and for my toes I asked for a specific design on my big toes and it turned out perfect. So perfect in fact that when I was in L. A the next couple of days a respected art curator in a small gallery I was at, complimented my nails! But of course that wasn’t the only compliment that I got on them but it was certainly one the owner of Olani should be proud of!
I know we will definitely be coming back, especially since my bf’s mom kept repeating what a great place this was.

This is the first time that I’ve ever been to this nail salon. Ever since I’ve moved here I’ve been looking for a good nail salon to go to. I would have to say I have high expectations as to what I expect for my designs and quality and this place has blew me out of the water. They have friendly staff, it’s close to my house and they do an amazing job. I will be definitely coming back for future nail work!

What a difference! There is a brand new owner as of November and the place is night and day different. I was invited to come back and see the salon now that’s it under new management. I didn’t let them know who I was until the end when I was paying. I wanted to make sure I got the same experience as someone just off the street. Anyway, I went for a deluxe pedi and brow wax. They took their time and made it a great experience. So many salons rush and it just feels like you are one more person getting pushed through. What a refreshing experience to have a restful and truly pleasant experience. The hot rock massage and paraffin treatments were killer — all part of the pedi. Also he spent a lot of time really working on cleaning and trimming my nails just perfectly. The brow wax was also great. I just can’t say enough good things. If you went in before and had a less than thrilling experience I really suggest you give them another shot.

This place is now under new management. The people are nice, talk to you, engage you in conversation and remember you if you are a returning client! Prices are good and the place is clean!!!

Stopped in for a fill and to fix the damage the last salon caused. They just took over about 3 weeks ago and they are wonderful. Ryan the nail tech took his time and did a wonderful even straight fill. Andy was very pleasant to talk with. Lin is an amazing nail artist and did a fabulous job. Thank you

I am really picky and very honest about my reviews on nail shops. I just walked in for a fill, first thing in the morning today and the shop was quiet so I got right in. The woman was very nice and talkative, very fluent English. She did a wonderful detailed job. I wear a stiletto nail with gel polish. I felt like she listened to what I wanted and gave me a detailed polish. She said the salon had just been purchased by a new owner, so I hope people give this shop another chance, new people working in the nail salon too. I will be going back. My fill with polish was only $ 30 bucks. An extra .50 cents for usage of the cc machine. Which doesn’t bother me at all.

They may do great nails but I do NOT suggest going here for a wax. I went in for a brow, upper lip wax and it was one of the worst waxing experiences I’ve ever had. And, I have been to quite a few places. To get the wax off your face, instead of using a wax removing lotion, she put it on a wash cloth and it literally felt like pumice on my face. Then, I kept waiting for a cooling lotion and again, the same feeling of it being beat in to my face with a piece of pumice. Then, she put some sort of oil on my face and an hour later I had to wipe it off for fear of breaking out. Most people that are waxers know that this stuff is painful so a MUCH lighter hand, no pumice like rags and some cooling lotion would go a long way in the comfort of their customers.

I first tried this salon about 2 ½ years ago. After 3 or 4 visits I decided to look for another salon because regardless of my instructions, they couldn’t seem to get my acrylic nails right (acrylic was always applied so thick my nails looked ridiculous).
Since I was in the area this weekend, and needed a pedicure, I thought I’d give them another try. Sadly to say, I was still disappointed with the service I received. Upon arriving, I was instructed to choose a polish color (crappy selection) and was directed to a pedicure spa chair. I sat with my feet soaking in plain water (no jets in the foot spas) for a short period of about 10 minutes which was fine since I walked in without an appointment. Once the technician began my pedi I had a feeling I was going to be disappointed. Old nail polish was removed, toe nails trimmed, feet scrubbed, new polish applied and done. My cuticles weren’t cleaned up, no foot rub, no calf rub. Biggest waste of $ 23 dollars. I could have done the same job myself at home!!! Giving 1 star only for the massage chair, which was only semi-​amazing. Don’t waste your money here.

Wish I would have been smart enough to read the reviews on here before making a trip to this salon. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I went in for a manicure and pedicure, as I had a coupon. I have been to several places but this was the first one that did not even bother to soak my hands. She squeezed some solution on my hands, trimmed my cuticles (this part was somewhat decent) and then painted my nails. The nail polish actually peeled off on the first day! The spa chairs are very nice and give a great massage. As for the pedicure, that consisted of soaking, rubbing some solution on and painting the toes. This whole process for a pedi and mani took approximately 30 minutes. Don’t waste your time going here, there are plenty of other salons in the area that will do a much better job, for the same price. Wish my experience could have been better.

I have never been so revolted in my entire life. The interior of this place is seedy, and the staff are unprofessional. The main nail tech had some guy helping her, who is missing teeth and said my lotion smelled «sexy». She kept barking at him to quit massaging so she could paint nails. The worst part was that when doing my manicure, she would take the used soaking solution, with the skin/​nail trimmings in it and all, and actually dump it into my foot bath (with my feet soaking in there). GROSS! She did this TWICE. Then the guy almost scalded me with the rinse hose. Yes, the prices are cheap — but there’s a reason for that. They are unsanitary, not relaxing, and not professional. And while my pedicure was OK, my basic manicure was substandard — they did a poor job of trimming cuticles and the polish was streaky and uneven.
Update on 1÷28÷14 — a friend of mine (that I have known for over 30 years) stopped in here on Friday, 1÷24÷14 and had a NIGHTMARE of an experience. While she was getting her nails done — polish only — the Health Inspector came in to talk to the owner about multiple violations that haven’t been corrected. One employee ran and hid in back until the inspector left, which made it appear as if that person might not be legal or licensed. While she was polishing my friend’s nails, she called someone and put the phone on speakerphone and had a very heated conversation with them in Asian while she was doing my friend’s nails.
After that, she tried to charge my friend the same price for a regular polish as she just charged someone else for a gel polish. Afterward, my friend left and went shopping. Two hours (!) later, her nails still weren’t dry, they were gummy and sticky. She went back to the salon to have them take a look at it, and the lady started YELLING at her.
First she says «Oh, you’re the CHEAP one. I didn’t like you when you came in before!» Then she refused to fix the polish or give my friend a refund — neither of which my friend asked for. She just wanted to let them know they apparently had some bad polish or something. Instead, the owner started yelling at her in front of other customers. Two other waiting customers were horrified and walked out while that was happening.
So BEWARE: this place has multiple health code violations, possibly illegal workers, AND the owner is a psycho who will try to rip you off and/​or verbally abuse you. An online search indicates they’ve opened up a few different licenses under similar names, so they may be popping up elsewhere as they get shut down under one license.

Great place to get a Mani & pedi. Very clean.

I’ve been going to Olani for almost three years and have never been disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly and highly attentive to your needs. They go above and beyond, providing excellent service every time I visit.
