Elizabeth Reynolds I’ve been going to see Michelle at Nail Nation for seven years and I’ve always been satisfied some of the most beautiful nails I’ve had because I have really thin nails on the break easily. Have her do the hot gel with tips if your nails are short, let them grow out and then continue to do the hot shell over them. You’ll be glad you did their sturdy and also grow out nicely.These were done new 2 weeks ago but still look great.

Fletcher Jones The best nail salon in Los Angeles! Michelle is incredibly kind and talented, always providing me with excellent advice on nail health and design. Plus, she works quickly. Ive been coming here for the past five years. I highly recommend!!

Fade Crowley Im a 6 foot 3 inch 200lb guy, who wears pastel colors and nails, and let me tell you, Wonder Nails is the only place I let take care of me. They are kind, polite, and I honestly see them as part of my extended family at this point. I dont write a lot of these reviews, but if you need your nails done right, go to Wonder Nails, they will take care of you and make you feel welcome. Thank you Nikki, Jenny, Sydney, Flower, and all of the guys, youre great.

Shelby W Update: contacted them, spoke to the nail tech, and let them know what happened. I was told it must have been my fault (which is very untrue!) and then he told me he’d refund. I haven’t received it but I’ll count this as a sunk cost and just avoid this place. Sucks because Flower and this one lady who did my nails once were so professional and did my eyebrows and nails flawlessly! 10/16/2023: Absolutely horrendous. The guy who has done my nails twice (not the guy with the mustache, the other one) has no consideration for guests: he’s rough, pushy, and does not make it like a comforting nail appointment. My recent appointment I got gel x and as he put the nails on my fingers, the glue/gel x was clearly burning under the light and despite me telling him, he did nothing. He picked the wrong nail sizes and forced them on my nail beds. He did my gel x nails while I was on the foot massage chair. I don’t know but I would think that is a bad place to be doing acrylics! Now part of my finger is bleeding and cracked because he didn’t do his job correctly.I did call and they offered to fix it BUT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO FIX? I will not be back again and he seriously needs classes on how to be professional and less rough at a nail salon. I am on my way to an urgent care to check this out. If you go her, go to Flower or just anyone else.

Esme Sanchez I live a block from this place and I would always drive to my usual spot in West Covina. My boyfriend found this place for me and I gave it a shot. Now this is my go to spot. Especially my nail tech Peter. I went in for coffin but He recommended tapered square Instead because I have small mail beds and I am in love. Everyone there is super talented but He is my favorite when it comes to tapered square. Super lovely people.

Marina dOrthez Such a wonderful experience here! Absolute artists and experts in nail art. Here are my key takeaways: - the fastest yet most precise manicure I’ve EVER had! It was fascinating to watch such precision and efficiency with artist skill. - Friendly and welcoming team. I didn’t have an appointment but I was accepted and welcomed me in even though they were full and busy. - Sima consulted with me and looked at some of my moodboards and she recommended a creative approach which was on point and so me! I loved the outcome and will come back here every chance I get.

Britany Golden Sima Nail Lounge is an absolute vibe. Called to see if they could fit me in for a gel manicure and to touch up my pedicure. Sima stayed late just to accommodate me and then took care of me like I was a regular even though it was my first time. Prices are more than reasonable and I even got chrome. Definitely give this place a try if you’re looking for a nail spot. Not only is the service incredible, the space is gorgeous!

A special shoutout to Lolita, who is truly amazing at what she does! She’s meticulous, creative, and always ensures my nails look flawless. Whether it’s a simple manicure or intricate nail art, she nails it (literally!) every time.

The customer service Laura provides is EXCEPTIONAL and Zanna is fantastic!, I never have to say what I need it is given to me with top quality! Please don’t go anywhere else for your nails and pedi in LA, this is the spot! High recommended! You won’t be disappointed.

Astrid Santos First time being here and recommended from 2 of my colleagues that always go there. My service was great but I went in last Sunday to get my nails done for a wedding. My friend got her nails done for HER wedding as a bride and they turned out amazing from Ellen but my nails as a maid of honor were done by someone else. My nails looked incredible! But the following Saturday which was only 6 DAYS after of having my nails done they started to pop off. I have absolute no nail damage to my real nail, the nails I had done just popped off less than a week. I was really disappointed because they were not glued on Properly. It was embarrassing to hide my nails from the photographer. 3 of my nails came off the day of the wedding. They seemed like if they were press on nails. Absolutely not satisfied with the outcome. I paid over 125 dollars for them only to come off in 6 days. I also tipped her 30 dollars just for my hands. My pedicure was done extremely By someone else. I will not be coming back.
1 /5
Ekaterina Im Highly recommend Nail Club LA. I’ve been a regular customer of Lolita for a long time, and she is simply the best! Her work is always precise and beautiful, and the results are incredibly long-lasting. She works quickly without compromising on quality, ensuring a flawless manicure every time. She’s also the only specialist who can truly help me with ingrown nails. Every visit leaves me with flawless nails, and while the whole team is great, Lolita is my go-to specialist.

The whole experience was calming and relaxing. I almost fell asleep during pedicure. I am very happy with result paid 45$ tipped 10$ wasnt necessary but definitely deserved. Will be visiting again regularly.

Mallory Castro Came here Friday before Christmas weekend prepared for a really long wait time. It was my first time, I only waited 30 min! Not bad at all for Christmas weekend. David was nice. He was gentle and took his time with all the prepping/ shaping. I did not feel rushed which I appreciate. My nails came out exactly how I wanted! I will be back.

OMAR A. MUHAMMAD, TH.M Ok, My wife asked me to accompany her to the nail salon, so I tagged along. I liked how it looked inside, and it seemed like they had excellent ventilation because I didnt get overwhelmed by the chemicals in the nail polish. I asked my wife what she liked. “I liked the Service with the eyebrows. And I like the service for the pedicure and full set of nails.” What about the value of it? The deal is excellent and the customer service is great and the people are professional.” You heard it from a super user. #LetGo!

Esther Best nail tech I have gone to so far. I’ve been getting my nails done for several years and tried out many nail salons but Leah is by far the most talented and detail oriented tech I have met. She never says no to your design requests and has always delivered, if not, exceeded expectations. My nails are naturally oily(?) so they lift pretty easily but Leah spends a long time on nail care which helps to last longer. I have had nails last 8 weeks!! Look at that growth. Here are some of her work for reference. 200% recommended.

Never have I once been able to get my nails done right, and for the first time they are amazingly perfect. Ive never been so happy with a service. Leah is super nice and has always done a good job with mine! Highly recommend this nail salon exceptional service and prices!

Frida B The place is really clean and comfortable. She’s always booked so I had to make the appointment ahead of time got there and she took me right in. I loved the design and she takes extra care to make sure they look perfect. She’s soo sweet! We had a great conversation. I loved my nails and they lasted for a whole month without chipping definitely worth the price.

Diane T. This is my second time coming to Nails By Aloha and my experience has been consistently amazing. I booked a manicure and pedicure service with Lynn and Michelle. Lynn does amazing work with gel manicure! After 2 weeks the gel still hadn’t lifted from my nails! Michelle did a wonderful job on my pedicure. I got the Chill pedicure and it was so good! She was very thorough with the callus removing and the foot reflexology was so relaxing. I’m a fan of this place and will be coming back again.

Wenna Yo Best Nails Ever in LA! This place is a bit small, but it’s very nice and clean. They offer tea or coffee, and the prices are reasonable. Lynn is my favorite, and I would definitely recommend her service.

Ellie N Clean, peaceful salon. Eliza did a great job thoughtfully creating a look on gel-x based on the photos I showed her. Anel also did a great job on a pedicure. Several weeks later, my nails still look perfect. Will be returning! EDIT: This is my go-to nail salon! My nails always look so wonderful when I leave. The techs really take their time. I might be ruined for any other salon!

Rosie Partmann Amazing nail salon. I’ve been looking for a new nail technician for over two months now driving all around town trying all different nail salons and I finally found my spot. Vivian is an amazing nail technician super efficient and top-notch.

grace loves gaia Nail Place is very clean and the technicians are very skilled and FAST. Having said that, for paying $135 I did not get any leg or hand massage and wasn’t able to use the massage chair because they were doing my hands and feet at the same time. I was disappointed as those are a favourite part of mine. My nails are also a different shape than the photo I showed the technician. But, the work looks nice and everybody was kind.

Jennah Honore I got gel X and pedi. It was more than expected but not too much I paid $120 . My nails started to pop off 4 days after. The lady who did my feet hurt my toe digging in the side. However the color and style I chose was so pretty. I would go back for the callous remover and because they worked fast.

Anna Inoue I found Christine from browsing local nail salons and was glad to receive a service from her. She is very welcoming and made me feel like at home. Her work is detail oriented yet efficient. I get dip powder and lasts a long time. I really like the fact that even when the nails grow out, they grow nicely, and the cuticles stay clean, which makes my nails appear put together longer. I saw other clients getting Gel X and the designs look beautifully crafted. I definitely recommend getting nails done from her! :-)
5 /5
Rei Reding Christine is a total boss babe! 2 weeks with my set and they still look like new. literally blown away. She’s the perfect hybrid of quick, efficient, and thorough. I wanted blue sparkly stiletto nails for new years and she created the night sky of my dreams on them! I found Christine on a whim after my nail lady moved away. I was so nervous at first, but that’s because I wasn’t anticipating finding such a gem of a nail artist in my area! If you’ve read this far— take a chance on Christine!!!!

She is incredibly meticulously, from the careful removal of my gel manicures to the attention she puts into every design. I can always rely on her to make my nails look exactly the way I want! Not to mention, they hold up beautifully for weeks and I constantly receive compliments on them. Highly recommend Uka to anyone looking for an amazing nail tech!

Juanita Hong Never been here before and wanted to try a local spot. It was easy to make an appointment through their site the night before, the place was busy when I first walked in, very clean, and loved their attention to detail. I don’t do this often and wanted to treat myself, so it was nice to sit, relax, and even check out the mountain views right from your seat. No gel and just did basic manicure and pedicure.
5 /5
Taylor Paige Long Uka (the owner) is such a gem! She does an incredible job for such a great price! I get the hard gel on my natural nails which there is only $70 and used to cost me well over $120! You can’t beat that.

Susanlee Forty I always wait a couple of days prior to leaving any review. The salon was wonderful, and the workers extremely nice. I got the hard gel nails and a gel pedicure. The nails came out absolutely amazing. I got my nails done on Friday. Sadly, Monday the hard gel came off on one of the nails. It’s Wednesday and already another nails is breaking and I see a third nail where the nail polish is separating from the nail. It’s a big bummer because it hasn’t been a week since I got them done. The price was not bad, mine came out a little more expensive because I had to remove the material from another nail place. I’m still leaving them 3 stars because they had such nice staff and everything was clean and orderly. My pedicure still looks great, I just personally didn’t have much luck with regards to the nails and them lasting.

I had a great experience and recommended this spot to my roommate who went to try it the next day! I would come back I liked how they shaped and painted my toes but they did chip after two weeks. I’m still looking for somewhere where my toes won’t chip as quickly but for the price and service they are great!

adriana Ramos Absolutely love this place! I had a great experience from the start, I’m their new loyal customer for sure. For starters I went on a Saturday afternoon which for most salons, it’s a busy time and can not work you in. I called randomly that afternoon and they were able to see me immediately. I had my inspo pic ready but I wanted to make sure alterations and I left with an incredible set. Both Justin and Chau helped me leave with the best set of nails I’ve had yet. As someone who has been getting their nails done for decades, I love when they do exactly what you ask for! I don’t like pointing things out or asking for corrections and I didn’t have to do that ONCE here and that speaks volumes. They’re gentle, detail oriented, and kind.

Heaux Jax-Prince Sovereign (JaxJaxAttaxx) I’m a model, influencer, educator, and dominatrix, so having and maintaining long, perfect nails and designs isn’t just necessary for me, it’s become a lifestyle at this point. I love, love, love this place. I’ve been coming here for the last three or four months, and am a dedicated fan. Mama Mai and her amazing staff are always so sweet, friendly, funny, and sassy, especially the really nice and funny Aunties/nail techs that’s been doing my nails and toes the last couple of times. Their work is flawless; and they’ve been more than kind enough to patiently work with me because my nails have gone from being long, to the longest they can possibly make them. My last time here, they were even kind enough to keep the shop open late for me. They always treat me like one of their kids, make me feel so welcomed, and pampered everytime. And even when I inevitably break a nail (a running joke at this point), they’ll be so sweet and funny about it, and they always make sure I’m taken care of, which is great because I stay booked for random photoshoots and walk- ins! Whether it’s for a photoshoot or a wedding, I don’t trust anyone else but Mama Mai and her team to make sure I look my very best.

Meli Chang $168 for a regular gel manicure with glitter/marble designs, no extensions. A long overdue review because it took a few months of denial before acknowledging that I was severely overcharged. Joanne was nice during my appointment and took me in last-minute after doing her daughters nails, but I have never paid this much for any nail design, even those with extensions. I went in asking for a gel-X manicure but at the beginning of the appointment Joanne specifically and adamantly told me to keep my natural nails since they were so short (not sure what the logic in that was) and that she "wanted to make it cheaper" for me. Its my fault for not standing up for myself and asking for a price breakdown at the end - not to mention theres an automatic 20% gratuity and she doesnt believe in giving price estimates... Very disappointed and feeling ripped off.
2 /5
Alison I have been a repeat client at this nail tech for over a year and I have to say no one takes the time and care like Joanne does. The quality of the materials and the designs are consistently higher in comparison to other nail salons in ktown. Joanne is devoted to her craft like no other. I have always felt welcome and respected here, as a person of color, I find that one review claiming Joanne mistreated them hard to believe. Joanne is very professional and respectful. This is the only place where I feel like the focus is 100% on me every time I go, which isn’t the case in most cheaper nail salons. I am happy to pay her rates because of the attention to detail, quality of design, dedication and time spent focused on me only. The new salon is beautiful, comfortable, and pleasant. And there is parking available in the building.

Katie An I think we can all admit that LA is pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to aethestics and beauty, but even within this huge city, you really have to dig deep to find some of the hidden gems. It was definitely a trial & error process to find a good nail lady, but I think I finally found one worth coming back for! I now understand when people say I only let ____ touch my hair / nails, because thats how I feel about Joanne - small but mighty, this is your go-to for the butter & bread of nails in LA. I found her on Yelp after seeing glowing reviews back in May, and Ive been going to get my nails done ever since. Ive gotten my nails done in different cities across NYC, Boston, Philly, Maryland, and here, and I can say for certain that I have yet to meet someone as detail-oriented and clean as Joanne. She is very meticulous with cuticle treatment/clean-up and uses really good products. I can tell because sometimes, her gel polish will easily last me > 3 weeks. She also always offers her personal touch which, for someone who is indecisive with designs, is always appreciated. Above all else, she goes above and beyond for her clients and makes you feel valued/welcome, and I rarely find that 1:1 connection in this industry. I highly recommend you visit Joanne and see for yourself what Im talking about!!

C Shimizu Wow Im so happy I discovered this place - a hidden gem in Korean town. Ive been to many nail salons in Tokyo and NYC, and Im very satisfied with my experience at Joa Nail Salon. Highly recommended (I dont really write reviews and this is a rare occasion). They were very welcoming even though it was a last minute reservation. So many colors and designs to choose from, and Joanne, the owner/nail artist, is able to accommodate to basically any request you would have. Based on my ideas Joanne gave me advice on which colors and patterns to go for, which Im really happy with. If you are looking for a long-lasting, professionally done gel manicure, or a design that suits your style, you should definitely try this salon!!!

James Choi If you’re looking for a nail artist who truly goes above and beyond, go see Yuri at Nail Story! She gives each client the VIP treatment, carefully prepping my cuticles by hand (no machines!), which makes every appointment feel extra special. Yuri’s attention to detail is next-level—she applies three or four coats perfectly for full coverage, and my nails always look flawless. Her design skills are incredible too; I often bring photos, and she recreates them perfectly every time. Even the stones are so secure that they never catch on my hair! If you want nails that look stunning and last, Yuri is the one to see. Thank you, Yuri!

Erika Urena Do not come to this salon. They do not know what a gel refill is. They removed 3/5 nails and then offered to repaint them without refilling them after I asked to not be charged for the removal for the false advertisement in order to still be able to get my nails done.

Crystal Okoc This girls are amazing here. They’re supper professional and everything is on time. I booked a pedicure appointment and when I got here they take me in right away. They have nice and clean spa chairs and they also use disposable liners. All the items they use like files buffer and pumice stone are disposable. It was so relaxing and they use organic sugar scrub for every pedicure. I know most place charge extra for it but it’s included here. They finish your massage with essential oil hot towel and it’s so good. If you’re not coming here for a pedicure you’re missing out on amazing quality.

Hashaa Tumur I’ve been coming to this salon over few months now and every time when I get my nails done it lasts more than 4 weeks without any problems. I get hard gel/ builder gel overlay and my nails never been naturally this long before. They don’t overbook themselves or try to get every walk ins. I highly recommend to book an appointment in advance. You won’t spend your half day at nail salon anymore. They take you by appointment on time and finish your service about over an hour.

Hayley Gulizia For years I was religious with my last nail salon until they convinced me to do hard gel and it was chipping within the week. After two weeks going back to the salon to fix one nail, I decided to find somewhere closer to home and came across nailington. The first time I came I think I had Jenny and I was going to Argentina for a month. I got back home and couldn’t come in for another week or two and they were still great (although way too grown out). Every single time my nails look amazing and never chip or come off. The girls spend way more time here than most Salons. Also hard gel has saved my nails too, I’ve never been able to grow my natural nails so long that I’m asking them please cut them way shorter! I highly recommend. This time I had Ana and Zaya and they both were soo thorough and amazing. Helping me pick a neutral color for a vacation, and fixing the shape a little bit from what I’ve learned I like as time has gone on. I’ll definitely ask for them both again. Thank you!

Eliana I have been a loyal customer of Honey Bee Nail Salon for some time now, and I can confidently say that their exceptional service and attention to detail make them stand out in the industry. While their prices may be slightly higher than average, the superior quality of their services and the immaculate cleanliness of the salon justify the cost. I travel a considerable distance to visit Honey Bee Nail Salon because they consistently provide a relaxing and personalized experience that surpasses other salons I’ve tried. The staff’s dedication to customer satisfaction ensures that I always leave feeling pampered and well-cared for.

The Popescus didnt really care for this nail salon. Reasons: 1) The chairs are uncomfortable (see photo). There is a ledge that your feet rest on and I just didnt like this setup compared to traditional spa chair 2) They dont use disposable liners- important for hygiene between customers 3) The staff just werent that friendly My actual manicure and pedicure were okay. I wouldnt return for the reasons above . Teh price was reasonable- $45.00 for Manicure/Pedicure with long lasting quick dry polish

Tori C Wonderful and quick service! Was worried my uneven nails would be troublesome. The woman doing my nails, Jenny helped me pick a shape that would get rid of my worries and from there did an awesome job! I have gotten so many compliments on my nails! I opted for a simple look and it is so very worth it!

Nicole Hyman Ive been looking for a new nail place so my boyfriend and I tried Honeybee Nails for the first time today. We live close by and both wanted a mani/pedi. We called ahead and made our appointment. The staff was friendly and attentive, Amy did a great job and helped me pick the perfect red. The place was busy so they only had time for a basic mani/pedi, but we each had two people attending to us (hands and feet). Will definitely go back.

Sidrah Recently moved to LA and haven’t been able to find a good nail tech or a nail salon to be my go-to. Went to Honey Bee for the first time yesterday and got a Gel French Manicure from (Nara - I believe - I hope I got her name right!) and she did such a beautiful and detailed job. Found my new nail salon and tech.

NDea Walker The service is nice and the staff is very talented. My boyfriend and I came in for a simple pedicures and I also got a regular manicure. They did an excellent job with our feet and my hands. I gotta tell you, my feet were pretty dang bad from having athletes foot when I was 12. I haven’t felt and seen my feet so soft since then. I feel confident in sandals again. The prices are cheap and reasonable. Definitely would come here again the next time I’m in LA.

Lynn Ivory I love going to Nailbay to get my nail extensions with Kelly. I’m always satisfied with the result. Kelly is a true professional who works hard to make sure you love your nails. Also, Jenny is fantastic as well! Make sure you make an appointment though. They are very busy!

Nikki Kemnetz John gives the best pedicures and Jenny gives the best gel x manicures. Serena is also incredible if Jenny is unavailable. I drive from the valley because no one does it like them. So kind and in and out in an hour if you’re not getting a design. Love love love them.

Yara Ive always had a hard time finding a nail salon with quality service. At nail bail the service is very professional, everyone is always very polite and friendly and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Ive been in the salon on a very busy day, and the professionals are always very careful with customers, always meeting everyones needs. I always do my nails with Jenny, beautiful work and Jenny doesnt have heavy hands. She is very sweet and always asks me if the design is the way I would like it. Very prompt, great service. Ask for Jenny.

AnA L I do not like leaving reviews but this was the most waist of my time. I went to blush la I seen all over my social media I fell In love with how they do their nails on Instagram ... my partner was so kind enough to make me an appointment . ( we live In Fresno) ... I got there showed the lady what I wanted she said she can do it so she got to Working on my nails right away she filed my nails but was really rough she made me bleed on my thumb and ring finger. she started putting fake nails on and put so much glue it was all over my fingers, the fake nail it’s self was literally glued on my skin, then she got to doing the acrylic she did not know how to dip the brush into the acrylic.. the acrylic was dripping off the nails . she just kept trying to make it work ... the acrylic ended up drying she didn’t file them down enough she didn’t file the side or bottom where there was so much dried acrylic... she left it as it is and started putting nail polish over and she said she was done with my nails… they was so lumpy, and was not shaped .. I showed the boss my nails, I pointed to where they were bumpy. She said “I don’t see anything?! ….I told her she can just look at them. She wanted to give me a discount but then she said she was gonna talk to the lady... they said my nails where short and can cause the acrylic to do that lmao excuse me I get my nails done all the time and she put fake nails on me she didn’t put acrylic on my real nails.. But I didn’t pay thank god! I was so heart broken I sat there for 3 hours! Me and my partner had plans and we couldn’t do nothing cause everything was close by the time I was out and not to mention we drove 3 hours ! Lucky Walmart was open I bought some stuff to take the nails off! there was so much glue that the acetone couldn’t melt all of the glue off my fingers ... I was in such pain the glue literally ripped my skin off my fingers ....I hope no one ever go threw that’s type of experience!

Hannah Tweedy I had been on a quest since 2022 when I got engaged to find the perfect nail salon and tech for my wedding in October of 2024. Blush LA was probably the tenth place that we tried in LA County, and it was finally the perfect place for me and my wife! Krista is my new favorite nail tech, as shes not only talented but kind, reasonable and honest. I went to her first for my bachelorette gel mani-pedi (lemon design posted below), and then went back for my gel wedding nails (Frozen-inspired french tips). Both were a huge hit, and I will definitely be back to Blush for all of my future mani-pedis!

Addison Tweedy My now wife and I have been looking for a mani/pedi place for a couple of years now. One that was clean, comfortable, good with designs, and welcoming of our queerness. We specifically needed one that could do designs for my wifes wedding nails and understood that I just wanted a buff and shine without cutting my cuticles to the quick. Blush LA accomplished both of these easily.

Margaret Dauer I never review but I just came here by recommendation and got gel removal and gel manicure. I’ve been getting gels at other salons regularly for the past 6 years and never had an issue like this. The manicurist had to soak my gels 3x in acetone before she could fully remove the gel and ended up filing it off anyway with a regular nail file, also filing down my nails like this. She over-filed down my nail beds, and cut me to the point of bleeding on 4 different fingers while trimming my cuticles. She did not soak cuticles at all, only wiped them with alcohol and some cuticle dissolver before trimming. While painting my nails, she did not cover the entire nail bed and left many edges uncovered and uneven, while other sides had gel coat painted over my skin. One of my nails even had something stuck in it when I left. I was so shocked that I paid and left but called the shop later and told them. They did offer to redo my nails for free. within an hour of being done getting my nails done, a gel completely peeled off one of my fingers.
