L A Nail Salon

I came in today for a full-​set gel nails mani. The end result was barely ok. I had to clean under my nails to remove the plastic shaving of the tips. The process to getting my nails done was absolutely horrific. Victor was my manicurist. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. Whatever, I don’t care. As long as I get my nails done, right? However, Victor let his emotions get the best of him. He was jerking my hands left and right, pinching extremely hard at the tips the entire time, (It hurt like hell). I asked if he was going to clean my cuticles twice, he pretended that I wasn’t even speaking or maybe that he didn’t understand me. And he never bothered to do it. The tips were also placed on crookedly on 2 fingers. There was no lotion to use after getting the nails done, no hot towels like in all other places, and 6 hours later my finger nail beds still hurt. This was my first and last time entering this facility. Not worth my hour and a half and $ 35.00.

Have to update my original review. I still recommend this place for regular polish manis and pedis, but I can’t recommend getting a gel mani. I have had two gel manis here, by two different manicurists, and there has been significant shrinkage both times. After two to three days it looks like I have acrylics that need to be filled. I think they try to go too fast and put on thick layers of gel. I also can’t whole hartedly recommend waxing. They do an ok job, but I have had to tweeze a few stray eyebrow hairs and my underarm wax was not complete. Lastly, they try to upsell you a lot. Not a bad place to get your nails done, but not great either.

Great, clean salon. Friendly owners, Victor and Vivian. Many choices of polish– go for the gel polish! Paraffin too! Even though the regular pedicures are great, try the SPA pedi for a treat– amazing hour of bliss. In addition to a great pedi, you get extra scrubs, oils, exfoliating, callous removal, knee down leg massage and wrap with hot towels after a treatment+ drink of choice– including wine! $ 40. The regular pedi is $ 25 and there is another in between. New pedi chairs. Tip well! Sunday hours too!
