Bellacures

Recently went here for the first time. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The chairs weren’t the traditional kind, these were über comfy almost sink in and fall asleep type chairs! (Apparently some people have lol)! I had a pedicure by Bobbi (sp?) and she did a fantastic job! She is very sweet, and very thorough. I couldn’t resist getting a ten minute neck and should massage by Tu (sp?). Omg he is amazing. If he does full hour I want to sign up!
I was very happy with my first experience and it will indeed not be my last. The parking is very congested being it is smack in the middle of café’s and juicers but there is a valet, you just gotta be careful with impatient Ventura Blvd drivers.

Yanna called me immediately after seeing my post and offered a do over for free. I went yesterday and could not have asked for a better experience. It’s nice that a business would care enough to do that.

I was contacted by Yanna, the store manager, after publishing my prior post. She offered a complimentary mani pedi to remedy my complaints. I have to say, their customer service is top notch. I really felt like they took care of my concerns. Yes, I will definitely go back.
Original post:
I’m so disappointed with my service today. They rushed and didn’t do a wholesome job. My nails are not even, not all the cuticles were taken off…
This was my last time giving them a try. Their services keep on dropping and for their price point, I expect a lot more. I will not come back.

If I could, I would give this place 3.5÷5 Stars. I go to this place because it is convenient. I have gone maybe 10 times, but recently decided it was time to switch to someplace more affordable.
Pros:
— Gels last 2 – 3 weeks or more
— Nice décor/​ambiance
— Free valet parking
— Can make appointments online (I have never waited)
— Nice staff, but sometimes pretty quiet
— Great waxing (eyebrows/​lip) — Never been burned
Cons:
— Cash tip only — ATM machine is in the room but service charges can get high
— Pricey for the end result, I feel overcharged by about $ 20+
— For pedicures, its done in the plastic buckets (which adds to the value just not being there for the cost)
— Be careful of the add-​ons. Foot scrubs etc. Make sure you ask the cost, or you’ll end up spending $ 30+ on these services. They make it seem like its part of the deal sometimes. I learned my lesson early on.
— Chairs need to be cleaned a little bit more — Lots of nail polish stains here and there
— The whole place needs a little upkeep done if you look at the fine details
— Sometimes I get the vibe the front desk girls and the technicians hate each other

My favorite nail shop in the studio city/​Sherman oaks area! My old shop closed down so I decided to give bellacures a try. Wow was i pleasantly surprised! I’m really big on cleanliness of nail salons and this exceeded my expectations. They use new instruments EVERYTIME every single time. 98% of nail shops sanitize them but I’m so happy bellacures actually uses NEW instruments. Always beautiful work here and they will help you with whatever you need. Love love love this shop

Revised:
Less then 24 hours later and all the problems have been rectified. The manager did actually give me a credit and sent me a photo and informed me to mention it is in notes. She continued to offer me a free manicure which is great considering I was planning to go next week for a touch up before Thanksgiving. Great customer service :) I am very happy. This place now deserves 4 stars :) the only reason there is not 5 is because the staff is hit or miss.
Original:
It is convenient for me to go here. Sometimes good, sometimes okay, never excellent. The same girl with the dark hair is always at the front desk… She deserves a raise, sometimes people or the other employees give her attitude and she is always so nice! As for the service, everything is always meticulously clean. I was once promised a refund and was never given one. As I said I return for the convenience and you won’t find anywhere as clean. For that it is worth the few extra bucks. 3 out of 6 services I have been cut and 2 of 6 times started bleeding. They do use proper blood safety protocol as a +. I would consider maybe more professional training for your staff. I want to give you 3.5 but that’s not a choice.

Updating review. Other than a few rough spots due to some dull nail clippers my pedicure lasted.

You get what you pay for not not here, folks.
I had the worst 1^st experience there from being sneezed on, cut, being charged an extra $ 50 (hours after I left for an extra service that was not initially charged but should have been for $ 15 not $ 50), as well as feeling rushed out like cattle. When I wrote to the manager she was truly geniune in trying to make things right and extremely responsive. After some thought I decided to take her up on her offer to give them another try, on them. Well, let me tell you friends, don’t waste your time or money. The «owner» was there and came to me very briefly while I was just starting my services and asked if everything was fine but seemed disinterested, distracted, and not genuine with no real interest is making things right. When I left the girls had no idea who I was, who worked on me and I had to leave the tip with them. Seems to me they need some serious help on many levels. Needless to say, it was an mediocre mani pedi that lasted no more than 20 – 25 minutes at most. Now for services that would run you almost $ 60 when it’s all said and done (because I believe in tipping), this place is a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Nice clean shop with professional technicians. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful. Parking is tricky, and valet fills fast. Taking one star off because I felt a lot of pressure to get the callus removal even after politely declining repeatedly.

Extremely accommodating! I hosted a bridal spa day for 6 here and they brought in extra staff to accommodate and they were so helpful.
Even made the guests who weren’t being serviced feel comfortable.
This place is relaxing and clean this is my now go to spot.

There are plenty of places in LA to get manicures, but this is definitely one of the better ones. It’s spacious and comfortable with extra large comfy chairs instead of the standard uncomfortable ones.
They have tons of colors to choose from in both fan-​favorites: Essie and OPI, several rows of «gellicures» to choose from and even offer a child-​friendly polish for those with little girls (or boys) who want their nails done.
I will say that the nail technicians are hit or miss, which is why I can’t give 5 stars, but there are more good than bad and if you’re unhappy they’ll switch you out for a different girl. You just have to find the ones you like best and remember to ask for them. I’ve learned that the hard way.
The girls behind the desk are sweet and helpful and parking is easy, plenty of street parking and the occasional free valet.
I get the gel manicures more often than not and they usually last for a solid two weeks if not a little longer.
They’re also located right next to a Pressed Juicery which is handy if you’re on a cleanse and if you’re in LA there’s a good chance you *are.*

I go into my appt waiting about 20min after my appt time for someone to start on my full set. Kim started my full set, after she puts on my nails I notice that one of my nails is completely crooked it’s slanting to the left and I ask her if she can file it to make it even she tells me that it’s just my finger, that’s how my finger is! I tell her that it’s not my finger it’s not like that and if she can please fix it. She fixes it and then they charge me 5 extra dollars for something she messed up on in the first place! And it’s still slants!
I’ve gotten a better full set done else where for half the price. In my opinion it’s not worth it here.

This place was awesome… finally a nail spa that’s relaxing and you don’t feel rushed!

The place is clean. My manicures last.
You can make appointments online.
They are open until 7:30 for those of us who work during the day.
Easy parking… free valet sometimes… other times meters on the street.
Love the mini mani when I am in a hurry.
Good polish choices.
Only downside is the upselling of additional services… «No, if I wanted a scrub or a callous treatment, I would have made an apt for one» I wouldn’t mind if they were offering it as a special deal… If they offered me a scrub right now because they weren’t busy for say 40 $ off… that would be cool.

Finally I found a decent place that I can go back to! Friendly staff… clean…and comfortable. Only draw back is parking. Definitely recommend!

FACT: There are exactly 1,789,451 nail salons in Los Angeles (probably). The only one I will go to is Bellacures. I’ve tried Other Places but Other Places don’t even come close to Bellacures. Sure, it’s a teeny bit pricier than your average $ 10 wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am Other Place on every corner, but it’s so worth it. No germy pedicure spa chairs — just big comfy chairs and a nice sanitary bucket of warm sudsy water. The atmosphere is cute and clean and they have ample colors to choose from in both Essie and OPI lines, and also offer a kid-​friendly polish line as well. I always go to the one in Studio City — they have valet parking but I usually find a metered spot on the street. My favorite person there is Kaitlyn but the other technicians are great too. I believe they accommodate walk-​ins but I always make an appointment.
This is the place to go.

A bit overpriced but they do a good job.

I’ve been to their location in Studio City. Although the staff have been very friendly their nail polishes are of poor quality. Within a day or two of getting my nails done the nail polish wears off and looks like you haven’t had your nails done in weeks. I even complained once about it and they redid the manicure at no charge but it didn’t make a difference. The polish just comes off within a day or two.

Ive been here twice in the last month and I am sorry to say… it really is worth the cash. Very expensive. but my manicures last twice as long after they are done here. Im shocked, but its true. Mani, Pedi, and $ 10 min massage was $ 55 where I normally pay $ 40 for that combo. Polish change is only $ 10 and practically just as good as a mani. Im going to make that my regular thing.
Colors are nice… they have halloween candy out which makes me strangely happy, and everyone who works here seems really sweet. Splurge-​worthy!

I have a love hate relationship with Bellacures. The first visit was amazing, the second and third visits were just ok. For the price, it should be awesome and long lasting.
Pros:
— nice ambiance
— minimal chemical smells
— large selection of colors
— friendly manicurists
Cons:
— expensive for the result
— receptionists are hit or miss when it comes I customer service.
— street parking
