Nails Done by Lynn

Originally I had an appointment for 3 pedi with one of the other salons near by, they were 15 mins late to open so we came here to take our chances. The moment we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately. There was a positive and great atmosphere, comfortable chairs & clean salon. Many many selections of nail colors to choose from, which I love the most. The nail tech that assisted me, her name was Kay. She was very nice, funny and made a great start to my morning. I love this place! I will definitely be returning for further services.

Nice job. I love that they open early! Big plus. They always have a full staff ready for your needs. I love the back massage chairs for pedicures. Very genuine people. I love how clean and spacious it is inside. They give free water and make you feel like a queen. I’m definitely coming back!!!

I do not recommend spending your money here whatsoever. The prices are too high for their low quality. I got short acrylic nails with Gel polish and they charger me $ 40. Something I could’ve gotten done at a much more clean place for $ 25. Not only did they literally break in half within 3 days after getting them done but when I came in so they can fix it they kept me waiting for over an hour. They’ve helped 4 customers that came after me. This is my second time coming here but not the first when they break off. I thought it was me being not careful but it’s the quality nails that they do here that break so easily.

This is a *Racist Salon* my mother is Hispanic and they told her she could not afford to get their «healthy nails» service.

Any nail salon with a sign saying you’ll be charged an extra dollar for a plastic bag for a spa pedicure «to keep you healthy» should be flagged. This place is a little shady on the outside but I didn’t want to judge a book by its cover (spoiler alert: I should’ve). I was given a bottle of water while I waited, which was nice, and I didn’t wait very long. But the woman who did my nails had no bedside manner and as it seemed, little experience. When she was finished with a hand, she’d shove it to the side. After realizing there was a very good chance the tools were not sanitized, I wouldn’t let her near my cuticles. The manicurist then started using regular pre-​polish on my nails after I asked for gel; thankfully, her boss caught her before she got in too deep. My manicure is messy, but acceptable. I guess that’s what you get for $ 12 gels (seriously, $ 12). Needless to say, I won’t be returning.

I had my nails done by Helen today great job as usual Healthy nails No Gel or acrylic I have been getting a silk wrap although she does a great wrap I decided to try the heathy nail Love it!!!

I have been a client for five plus years and have never been so disgusted. I made an appointment for a pedicure with Vicky. She gave me a 11am appointment for Sunday. I told her I needed to be on time so that I can leave for work. I arrived at 10:55am, she arrived at 11:45am and had a attitude. No apologies for being 45 minutes late for my appointment just an attitude. I spoke with the owner, Danny, who’s usually good at addressing issues and he said that she’s really good but she’s always late and people always complain. He usually has someone take her appointment. He does not care about the poor customer service. She brings in clients that are farmed off to other nail technicians. I’m appalled, surprised and highly disappointed.
Do not make an appointment with Vicky! No one cares if you do and are inconvenienced by her lack of respect for her client’s time by being chronically late.
Mike and Tina are good but I’m going to look for a new nail shop.

I’ve come here many things. Inconsistent wait times. Lately, all new technicians that don’t know what they’re doing. Extremely long amounts of time spent here. Last time, the technician that did my feet had my toe nails not even at all. The guy that was doing my full set didn’t know how to do my nails. So another person had to come do my nails. I asked the guy for a discount. I stayed there 2 hours for a full set and pedicure. The guy promised me a discount on my next visit then he acts like he didn’t know what I was talking about three weeks later.

I always stop by this place whenever i am in town.
As far as i know, the salon is now under the new management and no longer owned by Lynn. They have a wide selection of nail polish colors and manipedi packages. I’m amazed by the quality they deliver considering their competitive cost. The salon looks very clean and cozy. The bathroom seems to be well maintained. They also offer a complimentary bottle water which is very nice i think. They do charge a small fee for credit/​debit transactions. When i asked the guy in charge there, he said they run a small business, so the extra charge is to cover the high credit card processing costs. The price they offer is already discounted for cash payer. It probably is better to include these costs in the final pricing, but who knows, i’d rather pay a few dollars cheaper if i have cash in hand.
For the service i received, i would definitely come back here.

This place is horrible. To start off there very RUDE. Specifically Lynn. Hardly speak any English and the wait is terrible long… The only good to this nail salon is that they do offer bottle water to customers and they have a lot of polish… In my eyes there get 2 thumbs down

Rosie does an amazing fill and the prices are VERY reasonable. She keeps her appointments as scheduled and I’m so happy with this place. Parking is easy and it’s at a great location.
The best thing of all is the color collection. Great!
Highly recommended!

My family and I (grandma, mom, aunt, cousin) have been coming here for years! Very nice people. It’s like a little family. Highly recommend if you’re in the inglewood, culver city area to check them out!!! Try and make an appointment because they get busy!

So. Went back for a second massage, this time full body for 30 mins (instead of massage chair 15 mins). Pretty sure the masseuse (they only have one guy) enjoyed that massage more than me. Ugh.
Also, they blast trash TV in the background and expect you to relax while all the lights are blinding you.

It saddens me to have to write this but I must. I started going to this shop about a month or so ago and they give me the best pedicures, this 1 star is specifically for acrylics. The guy at station 4 who always sings and smokes and doesn’t really wash his hands that much cut 4 of my fingers this past week. My pinky on my right hand is so bad it’s swollen and the cut is deep and was bleeding very badly. He files too hard and too close to the cuticles, I know it’s their job to make nails look natural but file the nail not my skin. I’m glad the files are fresh and new and work very well but it’s very painful. Both of my hands were bleeding where he cut me, he even cut me behind my left pinky nail. Unacceptable, be gentle, pay attention. My fingers hurt and it’s uncomfortable I probably won’t be back.

Ask for Vickey, she’s the TRUTH! (You’re welcome in advance)
How many nail shops have you been to where they greet you with a smile and hand you a water?! Yea, thought so.
Super friendly service, millions of colors, and they TAKE APPOINTMENTS!

Worst salon ever. They are slow and the acrylic they have me broke the next day. They charge $ 2 to use your debit card. Everyone is nice but they are slow and quality is not very good. I will not be going back

By far the best nail shop I have been to. The people here are so nice and welcoming. They respect my opinions and I wont have to search for another nail shop for a long time. Really recommend this place.

Honestly, I’m not sure what to post for this business.
I don’t carry cash usually, and have started limiting myself to only patronizing businesses that display the credit card stickers in their window. If I see a sign that says that the business charges extra for credit or debit transactions, I don’t patronize the business, because merchants are able to cover PIN debit transaction fees (which cap out at 50 cents per transaction) *and* maintain their profit margins for all transactions over $ 20. (see link at the end of this review for more information on this).
I had $ 30 to spend at Nails Done by Lynn. According to their posted prices, this was enough for a pedicure, a ten minute foot massage and a generous tip.
Nails Done by Lynn has the credit card stickers in the window and no posted signs about charging extra fees for credit/​debit transactions.
The pedicure was very good, and the massage chair was the best I’ve seen in any nail salon. However, when it was time to pay, Lynn demanded a $ 2 fee for my PIN debit transaction.
I only had limited funds, so I took the $ 2 out of her tip. She wasn’t happy about it, but honestly she’s the owner trying to jack up prices with hidden fees, so she gets my money one way or another.
I’ve noticed that many small businesses continue to charge exorbitant fees for credit/​debit transactions. They need to inform customers about these fees up front or risk getting called out on Unilocal and other business review sites. I know times are tough, but cheating doesn’t do anyone any good. I’m just glad I gave the owner a small tip and not one of her employees, that would have been a much more difficult situation for me, as I know how important tips are to wage workers.
My advice — bring cash and go to Lynn’s Nail Lounge in Santa Monica. At least they have multiple signs all over the business declaring their $ 1 fee.
