Lynn’s Lounge

I only come to this shop because Tan works here. I have gone to him for 22 years. He had moved to a couple other local shops over that time span and along with his moves customers have followed. He is that good!!! I have tried several other shops only when necessary because he was unavailable (ie gone on vacation) and still till this day no one compares. Adventuring off using Unilocal to lead me to others that could compare I only get more confirmation I found a professional. He is able to due manicures, silk wrap, & acrylics. He does not due designs however if needed I would go to Someone else to do that. His nails last and if it chips he is able to fix it before making you pay for a whole new nail. He is fair and really provides people with what they ask for. Tan is amazing!

Horrible customer service. Made a appointment for a fill to insure I had someone there that could actually do it. Went in checked in with whoever it is that work the front. Waited 15 min from the time they opened for the to figure out who to start my pedi since none of the employees were there. Did my whole pedi kept asking during if and who was doing my fill as I saw multiple clients going in front of me as walk-​ins
Pretty much 3 hours later and nobody to do them. NEVER GOING BACK WORST JOB. not to mention a coworker that no longer will go there got a fungus beware

Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience here. I was hoping it would be better, due to the convenience, but the search for a good nail salon continues.
The ladies were SO pushy, trying to up-​sale, then trying to make me feel bad for not taking a back massage. I usually get a mani/​pedi to de-​stress, but I left more stressed than when I had walked in. Not to mention, my manicure is entirely messed up and looks horrible today. They get two stars because the pedicure was decent.
Save your time and money– go elsewhere.

I think my gel mani and regular pedicure came out nice. The girls working on me were really nice and friendly. They also seem to be sanitazing everything they used so that made me feel better, especially after I saw a HUGE roach walking over to my shoes. LOL Any who, if they gave their place a makeover they might get 5 stars from me.

Can I get a what, what???
This place is awesome! Stopped by because I am heading to a wedding and needed a mani/​pedi STAT and just happened to go to the grocery store in the same plaza. This isn’t the fanciest place you will walk in and they don’t have a ton of nail polish colors to choose from but what they lack in ambiance, décor and choices they make up for with the courtesy of the technicians and their service!!!
I am so glad I went in because it was amazing! I ended up getting the deluxe mani/​pedi because it was only $ 38 and that is way cheaper than on the East Coast and they actually got my in grown nails out!
Not only was the mani/​pedi amazing but they do massages by the minute and the technicians may look tiny but their hands are strong and they really work on your knots!!!
I started with ten minutes and then kept adding 5 more minutes!!! It was seriously fantabulous and I highly recommend them!!!

I miss this place!!! This was my nail salon for 5 years. I’ve recently moved out of LA and miss this place so much! KIM does the BEST gel nails… So precise and thin so they look natural and they grow out beautifully. NANCY was my go to for thorough and long lasting pedicures. They’re very friendly here. They also offer shoulder and neck massages for a reasonable fee which was nice to enjoy while my nails were being finished. So rather than dreading that time in the salon, I looked forward to it! I recently came back to town for a wedding and made a point of getting my nails done here reminding me of how good they are!!! Everything is very clean and I never in 5 years had any issues!

I think I may have gotten an infection from this nail salon.
My left middle finger is swollen and red with puss coming out. Gross! Although I only got a polish change, if she wiped my hand down with an unsanitary cloth, I may have received a bacteria or fungus on my hand.
Not crazy about this place. Most people that work there are rude. The woman that did my nails was friendly and talkative, but the overall vibe in there is low vibration. And, her co-​worker that was sitting beside her kept giving me dirty looks. Very bizarre.
Won’t return.
I highly recommend Bella Cures in Santa Monica on Montana Avenue. Bella Cures is quick and efficient. Very clean and sanitary.

I really hate writing negative reviews but seriously when I’m paying decent money and tipping 25 percent you would think the staff here could at least manage a smile. The gentleman at the front has been rude every time he’s abrasive just nasty. I initially put it down to him having an off day but he was super nice to the person behind me. The last 2 visits I got the geliash which is like shelaq. I opted for a lighter color the last 2 visits and it discolored within 3 days. I tried to explain last time they just brushed me off. Just now I just tried again and that man was so bloody rude that’s it NO MORE chances I left. Do yourself a favor go elsewhere that was the most horrible customer service ever and shoddy work.

This place has the worst customer service! Their prices are reasonable-​but then again, you get what you pay for. Which isn’t exactly saying a lot for this place! The manicures and pedicures are always mediocre at best and they rush through your service! Cherry is the worst!

This place looks average, but is a little secret! GO SEE KIM! She is the best for gels. I used to go to Marie Nails and they’d charge me over $ 80 for what Kim does for me for $ 25! Designs and shaping and all! Very nice people, some think they’re rude but it’s just a language barrier. Good prices, nice little massages, and usually never a wait!

Love this place! Prices are really good for the location. Everyone is always friendly. This is my new favorite spot!

After being a customer for thee years I will never come back. Their employees are extremely rude, and in my experience, if you don’t get any add ons to your basic mani/​pedi they treat you like garbage. First, you have to tell them, literally, five times that you just want a basic, not deluxe. Then they snicker to each other about how cheap you are in their native language. And by the end, they walk away without brining your belongings to the drying station, or rolling down your pants for you, so you’re left to do it yourself and mess up your freshly painted nails.
It’s a shame, because I love their waxer, she’s the sweetest and I love my eyebrows when she does them. But their other nail technicians really need a lesson in customer service. They just lost another.

Love this place. Have been coming for 15 years and all of the girls are great.

Be firm and know what you want lest they use the language barrier to foist extras on you. Had to argue to receive a basic mani pedi after being given a special higher priced menu. Oh to have Frank Costanza in tow to interpret the muttering that accompanied their mediocre work.

They can be a little unorganized at times and They get mad at you for something they did wrong; however, they do a really good job. Just walk straight to the front desk and be very specific about what you want. For example, if you want a gel manicure don’t walk in saying manicure. Be extremely specific. That way they can assign an employee skilled for that job; otherwise, they talk about you until you leave! Lol. Just kidding I’m not sure about that, but they do get mad because then they have to assign you to a different person. There is NOT a lot of waiting even when it is really busy. I gave them 4 stars because I found them a bit rude. On a good note, their prices are fair and reasonable.

The salon itself is about a 4… It’s big and clean and they just upgraded their spa chairs.
The service is about a 3… No frills and the man who makes the appts and takes the payments needs to smile more…
But my lady, Lynn… is a 5. She’s pretty great. Thorough and precise. And gives amazing neck and shoulder rubs. I won’t let any other lady touch my toes here. I’ve done it in the past and am usually disappointed. So I just stick with Lynn. If she’s not available, I’ll go somewhere else.
Always looks like they have regulars that come by so I’m sure Lynn’s not the only great one… But she’s just my preference.
I used to frequent the nail salons on Main St but the quality of service has gone down significantly… You get what you pay for. I’m so glad I found Lynn’s Lounge… Less stress looking for parking being that they’re in a huge Albertsons shopping plaza.
Thanks for all you do Lynn! You’re great!

Sorry all. I am NOT digging my nails. It’s like every time I go the service gets worse and worse. I can ignore the rude guy at the front who answers phones, tells you to pick your colour and checks you out. But my nails just don’t look good. The colour is FANTASTIC, their selection of colours are great, but these were just hurried through. And I do not mind posting up my nail pics for them to see, as I WILL NOT be going back here ever again. Too ruff, too fast, you cut me and made my cuticle bleed on my last two visits yeah I’m done here. Getting your nails done should be a nice, relaxing experience, not painful. Thank you for trying I’ve given you months of chances. We’re through.

I have been coming to this salon with my best friend for years & up until recently we have had really good experiences here. Recently we stopped getting the gel manicures because we are trying to give our nails a break. Since we have made this change the price for our services has dropped a little but the quality of service has gone down the toilet. The woman that gave me a pedicure yesterday literally asked me 5 times if I wanted a shoulder massage. 5 times…
I feel like they are constantly trying to up sell you on a service and nickle and dime you for everything. This place has changed dramatically and I will no longer be giving them my business. Very very very disappointed.

Plenty of parking
Never have to wait more than 5 minutes without an appointment
Haven’t had a bad manicure here and I’ve come now over 5 times
Good massage chairs
Friendly staff
Lots of color options
Overall great place I just wish I could give the salon a make over. The walls, ceiling and ughhh paintings hung up on the walls are just awful. Could be such a nice place with a little bit of work.
Also, the women working there are always pushing for a massage while your nails dry. You just need to have the strength to say no ;)

I really like this nail salon. I found this place while shopping at Albertson’s. There is free parking, which is always a plus in Santa Monica! The owner is great and super nice. It’s also very affordable and they take credit card. They also do nail art! They do a great job at it and it’s super affordable here. Some places charge a big amount and don’t do as great a job. I’m not sure of the name of the woman that did my nails, but she also does waxing. I’d ask for her for gel nail art. I really suggest coming here!
