Valley Designer Nails

I’m extremely disappointed! I had a new set gel acrylics and gel pedicure done today and I’m at loss for words!!! I paid $ 80 for my nails to look like a fifth grader worked on it, so bad I had to have my old place fix them!!! Waste of money don’t go to them!!!

I think I found my final nail guy. I was referred to him by a friend. After checking their Unilocal reviews I was concerned if I should try or not, but my friend had beautiful nails and I thought I should give a try. BRILLIANT!!! James is a gem out there. I don’t know about other technicians but try this guy. Definitely 5 star job!!!

This time I went to Tiffany, and she did an amazing job. I love their customer service and their work! This is always my go to place!

My cousin asked me to go with her to get our nails done, I asked for a Gal manicure and pay for it more then a $ 40, next morning there was a cracks on my nails, plus lady didn’t do the design I asked for. Very disappointing never will go back.

Laurel is very sweet and did a great job on my pedicure. She took her time and was very thorough. I have not had any other services done here so my review is only for Laurel and my jel pedicure.

If I could, I would give them zero stars but I can’t!
I’ve been a regular client for some time now and I’m not one to write a bad reviews because one person messes up etc but I’ve had enough! … After some time I was ready to give my review and I was really displeased with their overall treatment of customers in general.
Not only did I continue going after a couple times that they messed, I decided to give them a chance, but each time there was something wrong. I would leave with the cuts on my fingers with the bleeding cuticles I had asked them once to give me a regular pedicure and didn’t want to sit in the chair and they made me feel really bad about it not to mention they completely messed up my pedicure by filing my nails slanted !!
The last time I was there I had a normal experience but when I left the next day I noticed my white gel polish was turning black underneath so when I called them on Sunday they were closed & I waited until Monday for them to reopen ! I called on Monday explaining the situation and the owners daughter (not Tiffany the other one) told me to clean my nails with alcohol which I told her I had already done because I know how gel works! After telling her that it was not coming off she told me OK come in and I will fix it for you and I asked her if i needed to make an appointment but she said it was OK if I come now, she gave me a definite yes told me to come in right away and that she would fix it! Since I was so pleased with the way she handled that, I told her that I would bring a friend as a referral and she would also get a pedicure if they have the time for it. Again she reassured me you come in right away because she would be busy later on. I don’t live very far so I dropped everything I was doing and made it to the salon within five minutes.
Once I got to the salon she continued to scrub my hands with alcohol for about five minutes saying something in another language the other workers there.
I continue to explain to her that it’s not working so please let me just pick another color and you can redo my gel she then proceeded to tell me that she cannot do my gel at the moment and she’s busy and I would need to wait for a couple of hours! At that point I was furious not only did she waste my time she made me drop everything I was doing to come to the salon and now she’s telling me that I have to wait a couple hours for her to free up with her customers or for her mom to come in and do it because she was the one who took care of it before! Then I asked her why did you make me come all the way here if you were going to make me wait she told me I wanted to take it off with alcohol to which I replied I already told you that it was not coming off with alcohol ! She basically shrugged her shoulders and proceeded with another customer!
I will never return to this nail salon! Not only was she incompetent to make a proper appointment or to fix my nails but she was also rude and started talking shit to another worker at the salon when I was trying to understand why she made me drive down there if she wasn’t going to take care of me!
Point blank they can’t do anything correctly the acrylic nails they filled on Saturday are coming off not even one week after and the gel polish on top I paid extra for is turning black and has bubbles on it, their pedicures are horrible they make you do them in their dirty pedicure chairs not to mention the attitude she gave me ! After being such a loyal customer for years I’m just horrified with their customer service ! Sorry Tiffany ur really cool but ur staff needs to get it together !

I mainly have only been here to get manicures and pedicures from Laurel. She the only one I trust honestly. She’s always booked so make sure to book in advance. I once got service for a pedicure there from a male and it was terrible. He cut my toe wrong and made me bleed. I asked for a flower design and it was not professional at all. I felt like I could’ve created a nicer flower. Anywho I never wanted to get anything from anyone else. It’s not the cleanest, but it’s not gross. I recommend Laurel for anyone interested in coming here! The prices are pretty good too. I believe a mani/​pedi together is $ 23

Walk in, and I wanted full set pink & white powder and Linda saved me money by putting the white tips with the pink powder and a gel topcoat. She’s really nice and quick! Thank you Linda !!!

It was my first time getting my nails and pedicure done there and I love the work Tiffany did on my nails and my pedicure with Linda.

I’ve been coming here for 15 years. My mom, grandma, my two aunts and three of my friends all come here too. I absolutely love this place!!! They are all amazing but my favorite for nails is Mary and my toes is Laurel. They both pay close close attention to detail and those two are funny when they are working together. They go over and beyond and are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to proper care of your nails especially Laurel. Many times they offered advice how to get my nails stronger, grow longer and even how to minimize a scar that I had on my leg. The staff treats me like family and makes me feel very comfortable. I don’t know what I’ll do when those two retire!

If you wanted to be treated like crap then this place is for you.
The owner talks to you as if your getting service for free. They are rude besides being rude they do half fast work. Save your money I recommend Ninas nails on sherman way & Coldwater.

I had my first and last manicure here and specifically chose Essie polish brand… Friday evening finished my mani and not even a whole 24 hours my nail polish was chipping… by the following morning all my polish was chipping… the lady, possible owner at the front is so rude and cannot run a business either she had the worst attitude with customers in person and phone. She turned customers away with a no and a dumb attitude. Save your cash go elsewhere.

I have been to this nail salon a few times and each time I have been very pleased. I have a favorite there… James is amazing! So detail oriented and does absolutely beautiful work! Their pedicures are also great each time I go and the pricing is great compared to other nail salons.

I love how James does my nails!!! Ive been coming to him for 4 yrs and I moved to palmdale I try other places and I hated how other nails salons did a bad job. I decided to go back to my nail Tech. James all my friends loves my nails he does what I want. I like how Laura does the pedi she is really good.

Laurel is sweet and a perfectionist! Been going by her for over 10 years! Highly recommend her.

Laurel is the only one that gives me pedicures. I’ve been going by her for over 6 years! She’s the sweetest lady also.
A lot of people complain about their customer service skills… You’re paying about $ 17 for a pedicure… Do you really expect someone to walk by handing you champagne and chocolates?! This place has been open for over 15 years, they have a great clientele. They do accept walk ins, but I would book in advanced. Especially with Laurel, she’s always busy.

I have never been to a nail salon worse than this place. My manicure looks like I was pranked. Uneven cuticles with nail polish all over my cuticles. It chipped off of my cuticles that night and looked horrible. I have NO IDEA how they are still in business to be honest. 1 star is truly generous of me!

My husband bought me a gift certificate for our anniversary and this being one of the closest places to our house that was the deciding factor. I was leary after reading the Unilocal reviews but called ahead for a last minute appointment and was pleasantly surprised. Upon entry its a clean, fairly spacious storefront. There are 5 spa pedicure chairs and about 5 manicure/​acryllic tables.
My gift certificate was for 50 $ anf that would purchase two spa mani/​pedis. (I always bring cash for tip)
My first visit was just okay… they were pretty busy and I noticed that my ealk in status was definitely an after thought. I didnt wait long, and the man who helped me was quite thorough. I had brought my own polish this day but found on my second visit that they have a fair selection of colors. My main complaint was that I couldnt hear the man because he spoke so quietly and with an accent. He did a good job though!
My second visit was much better. I sat with Traci (who speaks very well in English at normal decibels) she was very friendly and easily chatted with me about the neighborhood and what fun things there were to do in NoHo and Burbank. Age did an amazing job on my nails, and while she was working a man came and worked on my toes. It wasn’t a spa pedi but that was fine… I was in a hurry anyhow. He did another great job on my feet.
Whrn I asked about gels, they were very informative and recommended that I save them for parties or vacations because the gel takes layers off of your nails so it does more damage over time.
Parking is pretty limited and there are some busy armenian shops in the center.
Overall its a convenient location with knowledgeable manicurists. There were quite a few people that came in and called for appointments while I waited so it is quite popular and despite the reviews on here they have quite a fanbase. Go in and see for yourself… and ask for Traci. :) I plan to on my next visit.

I went to get a pedicure done i waited an hour and i was totally ignored.
They took the other lady that was next to me instead. I left and will never come back to that place again

This place sucks in customer service, the nail techs are very friendly and kind but the overall business sucked, lights went off and it was very uncomfortable but they still charge full price for «spa pedi» bs. How can you charge me spa pedicure prices if my feet just sat in a bucket of cold water no bubbles or vibration. Just lump water. Considering the circumstance with the power outage customer should be comp’d a percentage off, but again this place has poor customer service. They dont consider their customers you are just a number and not human to them, pathetic.
