List Best 21 Nail Salons in Long Beach, CA (Part 3)

Jenna Young This is my go-to nail salon in Long Beach. I just moved out here from New York and every woman knows it’s so hard to find a good nail salon/nail tech! It’s clean and a very relaxing environment. I love how they keep the door open on nice sunny days :) always so bright and sunny inside! All of the girls are super nice and thorough. 3 or 4 different girls have done my pedis/manis and they all do a great job. Great variety of colors Also fair prices! It’s right on 4th street close to a cafe so you can grab your coffee before going :) there’s also plenty of street metered parking which is convenient. Def check it out if you’re in Long Beach or visiting!

Amy V-M So we came here because we didnt need reservations and when we called they werent busy. My daughter got a manicure, she really liked her nail tech and she was pretty thorough. My pedi tech was Thu, she was really thorough. Anything dead coming off. If you can add massage to pedi, I highly recommend it, it is an actual massage. The pedicure chairs are massage chairs and she gave the complimentary tiny bottle of water. The place is okay clean, however, the lights are relatively new, so it maybe getting renovated. They also has holiday special.

Corinne Ingalla Christine is great! Her attention to detail is wonderful. My nails can go 3–4 weeks without any breakage. She just called work! I got these nails done for a wedding I’m in. She’s a sweetest! Got my toes does by LeeLee. Great work! She gives an awesome leg and foot massage.

Carol M My pedicure tech was amazing. My manicurist failed she used too much product on and my nails didn’t dry so another tech redid them. But even with that I would absolutely visit this location again the massage skill of my pedicure tech was phenomenal and he did a great polish.

Danica Tolen I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN HERE EVER AGAIN. This establishment can not do nails, they did not understand anything with what i wanted and when i toyed to correct them they did nothing. I was frying to get cute nails for my birthday but ended up BALLING my eyes out in my car from this experience. Photo one is what i wanted and asked for and the second is what i got which is NOTHING like what o asked for and the was WAY OVER PRICED. i am so enraged and upset. DO NOT GO HERE.

Holland Burrows I’ve been coming to Kiwi for a few months now and I love it. I am new to the Long Beach area and went in on a whim and they took me right in! Ben always takes his time on my nails and makes sure I am satisfied with them. He happily accommodates any difficult design/details with a smile. The staff is always very sweet and friendly. 10/10 place!

Linda Escobar I had a pleasant experience although I wish they used colored acrylic like for French tips or different designs and not just polish them on. I also would’ve wanted more variety in colors or charms. The price was not really something ($110) I expected and I only because my nail tech was out of town.. I would say only come for something very simple. Other than that staff were nice. Down below I have the picture I showed the lady and what I received, it definitely cold me been worse but it was not what I asked for.

Morgann Eisenhart Haven’t had my nails done in 5 years. They made the experience so special, got EXACTLY what I wanted. Reasonable price, friendly staff

Miesha Love it here! Lynn is marvelous and good! Shop is clean and nice I will definitely be back. Affordable prices. Two thumbs up!!

Ariana Wright Its been a LONG time since I have been to a nail salon. As soon as I walked in I asked how much a full set ,mani pedi and it was just awkward and super rude! My feet were not in the best condition and I was being rushed , they were super mean about my feet! They just made me feel really uncomfortable and I definitely wouldnt recommend or come here again. They rushed and then I mentioned that I wanted fake toenails as well and Im pretty sure I paid for that and she told Me no? It costed 41 $ for her to do a basic pedicure. NOT worth it. Im a reserved, polite, quiet person , and I just dont feel like I got treated right. Rude , rude, RUDE!

Qiana Brown I got my nails done here for the first time and was very disappointed. My nails were shaped wrong and were falling off by the next day. I came back that week to get them fixed and they asked me who did my nails and when I told them they proceeded to laugh. The manager was rude and also upset but she fixed my nails and they did look way better than when the First Lady did them which I did appreciate. I also saw the manager did steps that the First Lady did not do. The energy was very off and they made me wait a long time even though I made an appointment. I don’t plan to ever go back and I don’t recommend this place for black people either because I do believe they are racist.

Tasha Florentz My nails look beautiful. I only for a manicure, because I do not like people touching my feet. The technician was very gentle when she was trimming my cuticles. Not one finger was cut too far and bled. Not one! They were really nice. It was really hot outside and the owner gave us all a nice cold bottled water. It was 13$ for my regular manicure. Will be coming back.

kylie plooster i am not one to write reviews but this is absolutely ridiculous. i came in last saturday (it is now tuesday) and have a total of 4 nails completely pop off and 3 more nails lifting. the first nail began to pop off not even a week after i had got them done and more followed. i called right now to ask if i can get them fixed because FOUR have fallen off and they told me $5 per nail, which would come out to $20 for something that was not my fault, insane. when the first nail popped off i thought i would glue it back on to keep my nails looking nice and was sadly disappointed the rest began to fall off faster than my press on nails would. i would’ve been better off buying press ons and doing them myself rather than paying $75 for this. waste of money. while she was doing my nails, the glue continued to fall off and she got very frustrated, so i can’t say i’m surprised they didn’t even last a week. she did a good job with the design, looks exactly like the inspo photo (second photo), but i will never be getting my nails done here again. my pedicure looks amazing though, he did a great job!! i don’t know his name but he was a tall skinny man with black hair. my friend has been coming here for a while with a male nail tech and this has never happened to her, so maybe it was just my nail tech (dory, the owner of the place). if you are looking for a nice looking pedicure, this is your place, but if you’re looking to get acrylics, i would highly recommend finding another place or maybe stick with the male nail techs. ($125 for mani and pedi) first photo: day i got them done second photo: inspo pic third: current right hand (index finger was glued on days ago) fourth: current left hand fifth: right ring finger lifting sixth: right index lifting seventh: toes after getting them done eighth: current toes

Julie Dean Ive been seeing Karen for years and she is GREAT... the Best! The salon is owned and run by a woman who understands customer service, empowers her staff and is fascinating & friendly. Reasonably priced, clean and pleasant. ** UPDATE 1 year later — Still love Karen! Pedis, Manis, shoulder/upper back/head massage!!! Jenny is terrific with my buffed manis too!

Elizabeth Davis This place is HORRIBLE! The equipment was used and dirty.. Imagine getting married and having these as your nails- THEY ATTEMPT TO PRICE CHANGE-CONSUMER BEWARE!!! I went November 9, 2022 and was charged the posted price of $25 for a full set. I went yesterday for a fill. The lady fixed my clunky lumpy nails and I actually liked the fill. The list says $15 for a fill and when they finished they tried to charge $25 for the fill then I pointed at the sign and asked why a fill costs as much as the full set. I pointed at the Asian man with white hair and said he was the one that did my full set for $25 and he looked at me in my face and LIED saying he didnt give me a full set for $25 less than 2 weeks prior. They tried to say their posted price list us from 20 years ago (again this is their fault for not posting an updated price list. It sounds like they are running a SCAM and charging customers different prices!) I already took out $15 handed it to them, apologized for the misunderstanding and definitely wont be back- I guess someone else will be getting my business every 2 weeks - when I think of how much business they lost being dishonest I almost feel sorry for them (but not really)! I wish I could post a picture of how ugly my nails were!

Carmona Tom did a great job on my nails! I did the cat eye gel for the first time and completely loved it! He was quick and efficient! Great price too!

Gonzalez Oscar J. “Osc” Came because close to trader joes, stayed because it looked nice and inviting. Mimi dif a wonderful job on my nails while i waited for my girlfriends old nails to be removed. Stop by for a relaxing time

Davina Briceno I love this place been come here for years Ill never go anywhere else only place Ill get my eyebrows waxed Nancy is the best they do beautiful nails and take there time ♥️♥️♥️

Sanni M omg yesterday I went with my friend to get my hair done since they were supposedly professionals and I asked how I wanted my hair to be one color and they did it with highlights that I didnt ask them to do and more than anything they burned my hair it wasnt the style or color that she asked for. I told the stylist that the chemical is hot and he didnt do anything but they mistreated my hair and more than anything they are not nice. The stylist said that each body has different reactions. But I would have liked him to have explained to me that he couldnt do it, my hair came out all damaged and burned and my hair is falling out. I would like my money back for the damages.

Meagan McCorkle Ill start by saying Ive been a die hard Japanese softgel user for YEARS. I generally see the same nail tech for years at a time and was very comfortable and well versed in the soft gel products my previous nail tech used. Sadly she went out of biz and with a recent move to LBC I was excited to try this high rated nail spot.... however when I showed up for my appt with grown out soft gel on my nails you wouldve thought I had personally insulted Donnies mother or something. She looked at my nails in a disgusted manner and accused me of having hard gel on my nails. I told her that I was adamant about my previous nail artist never using hard gel on my nails because it really messes them up. She berated me for showing up with anything on my nails and told me that she had a severe allergy which was clearly listed on her website. I never saw any such mention of any such allergy. However, I did not have any hard gel acrylic or dip powder on my nails so I figured I would be fine to come in. After about 10 minutes back-and-forth trying to convince her that I knew what I was talking about she basically concluded that we wouldnt be doing a service. I was very frustrated after waiting almost a month for this appointment and then to be treated so rudely and shown out so quickly, Im really shocked that this woman is still in business. Its a shame that people with greater talents and much better customer service skills are no longer in business but this wacko is still getting steady clients. Nail art lovers beware-they are not so nice at hey nice nails.
