Breana Elyse I’ve been going to Fin for years, and he never disappoints! Whether I show him a picture for inspiration or describe my own design idea, he always brings it to life perfectly. His talent is unmatched, and the best part is how quick and precise he is. The results are always neat and flawless. I’ve referred many people here, and I constantly get compliments on my nails. Highly recommend this place.

Ashley Kemp Just SO bad. I saw positive review scores for this salon so came in on a Saturday an hour before closing to get dip.
The woman was very clearly rushing to get through the service so resorted to improper removal, even trying to pry off my old dip residue with a plastic nail extension before I told her to stop and that I wanted to soak them off. She didn’t wrap each nail, just had me dunk my entire fingers in acetone. She then dipped my nails SIX rounds in the powder, quickly pressing any chunks in to smooth them out. I’ve gotten my nails dipped for over 5 years so red flags were waving, but she kept telling me it would be fine once she filed them down. They were not. They were lumpy and thick. Non-confrontational me was willing to suck it up and consider it a $61 ($50 dip, $1 credit card charge, $10 tip) lesson and a loss until the next morning when I woke up and in better light saw that in addition to the thickness they were also unevenly filed, my cuticle edges were a disaster, and the light blue color I had gotten was already fading into an ombré effect - white at my beds and much lighter blue toward the tips.
I went back to the salon as soon as possible (Tuesday) and a man who I believe to be the manager “fixed” them for me. He kept insisting this is the color they were when I left, that he had asked me if I was ok with the color then, etc. - pretty much trying to gaslight me into thinking I was imagining a change and the manicure I had received wasn’t bad. He filed the top layer down and put the gel version of the color on top. I will admit the pigment of the gel is much better than the dip, but these nails are still thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, and somehow my edges are now worse. Should I have continued arguing with him about how this wasn’t a good service? Possibly. But I was already at the limit of my comfort in trying to rectify the situation, and a true professional would be able to recognize the issues and correct them properly.
At the end of the day, I paid to be embarrassed of my nails and will find another salon to take them off and do them properly. Save yourself the time and trouble and go somewhere else for a dip.
Photos show the first night, next morning fading, and final result.

Samantha Quinones My favorite nail shop in Long Beach! My friend recommended me this place and I’ve been coming here for about 4 years now. Finn always takes my inspo pictures and recreates them even better than I could hope for. He really takes his time to make sure every set is exactly what I want. When it comes to pedicures I always ask for Lee. She gets them done perfectly and quickly! The entire staff here is really friendly and they all do beautiful work. I do recommend making an appointment because they do tend to get busy especially on Friday and Saturday. Highly recommend this place!

Lea Coston I’ve been coming to Quality Nails for a few years now. Prior to Mimi opening her new shop. Everyone is cross trained so I’ve never had a problem with seeing different techs. I highly recommend to family & friends!
