Love love love the comfy atmosphere, prices, and service provided here ~ I went once for a gel extension removal / gel mani a month ago and then again for a gel mani & pedicure this past weekend.
I called in and made an appt for 11am on Sunday and it was empty for a solid 30min until a couple more customers came in, but they finished within an hour and slayed my nails.

I used to live next door and now I drive so far out of my way to come back to this perfect salon. Great reliable and friendly service every time and unbeatable prices. I've been coming here for 8 years!

The space isn't particularly upscale, but it is very clean. I rather take the discounted prices than pay for a sleek atmosphere. - Jul 14, 2021
Lovely local nail salon. Staff is courteous, welcoming, and takes cleanliness very seriously.
Their prices are very affordable and they offer venmo payment, but do also have an ATM on site and likely take credit card, too.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Victoria I.Los Angeles, CA1745520Jul 29, 2022

Well, I went there during holiday season when
my regular nail salon was fully booked and this seemed like my only option.
I only had color change, and they did a terrible job, the color was so uneven.
The lady who was applying the gel, messed up one of my fingers and instead of starting over, she applied more layers.
After only 2 days, they started chipping.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Katalyn T.Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA038Sep 11, 2021
So I made a yelp account just to leave this review, and I have never felt the need to leave a negative review for a place before, but this was the worst nail experience I have had at the salon. I asked for a coffin shape French tip, and the attached photos is what I paid for.
I came in for a full acrylic set and was told the nail technician who does their acrylics was not available, And the only thing they could do for me was a gel set of nails so I agreed because I came with a friend who also wanted to get her nails done and I didn't want to just sit there and have nothing to get done so I agreed, and was told the charge would be double the original acrylic price. I didn't have a good feeling about the experience but I thought I was just being closed minded and kept an open mind in hopes that I was just being paranoid.
One nail technician glued my clear nails on just using gel polish, she filed and shaped them and then switched to another nail technician who will be doing the coloring on my nails. Multiple times I had to direct the process a bit and this was my first time speaking up and being vocal because I really wanted to have a good experience and make sure that my nails came out looking nice. I had to continuously ask for adjustments to my nail polish color as well as covering up see-through spots that were not covered and if I had not asked I feel they would have just been left clear. The nail technician kept adding coats of polish on which was fine but the end result was extremely lumpy as well as the topcoat turned the end of my nails yellow. She added too much polish and I was left with a lumpy drippy shape, and the design was very unclean and I would not recommend anyone to go here.
I told her I was not happy with the end result but it was already 7:15 PM and I was ready to go home she offered to file my nails and it honestly did nothing to the shape and style. I only leave this review because I hope they see this and take it as a sign to practice more nail skill as an art instead of just as a job, the whole set was $65 with the tip and I paid and left with no plans to return, I hope this helps someone from spending money on a Day at the salon only to be left disappointed as I was.
Customer service was great, the workers were friendly and listened to my request, but the quality of work brings down the quality of the entire experience. Thank you to the workers there but this nail job is unacceptable.
The photos in the car are from the night of my visit and others are in the daylight next day.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chloe G.Hermosa Beach, CA02Mar 28, 2023
For some reason whenever I get a gel manicure there, it never seems to stay on for more than a few days and then peels off. Ive gone to another salon down the street and it lasted 2 full weeks, like expected. I dont know what method they use to apply, or they do not properly prep the nails...but its not worth the money. I have gone there quite a few times for a gel manicure and it has legitimately never lasted more than 5 days, I thought I was tripping out!
Yes, the place is cheap (you can get a manicure and pedicure for the cost of a manicure here) but I think id rather pay up and have it actually last. Maybe the regular manicures are okay? But don't go for gel!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Angela P.Davis, CA2342Sep 24, 2022
I absolutely love this place. I stopped by for a mani pedi and added on the 5 min. scrub and massage and it was such a relaxing, heavenly experience. It's always comforting to come back here when I'm in town, and I love knowing that I'll consistently get great quality service.

So after my horrible experience, they tried to get me to stay by saying they would "fix my pedicure" someone came to do my nails. I felt stuck. The nail Job I got was not at all what I asked for. No manicure, was not actual dip but she did ruin my natural nails broke 4 of them and did shit acrylics on the one broken. Went to get this fixed and my toes and the nail artist had no words . DONT COME HERE
on top it was over charged for 2 hours , a horrible pedicure and a half done botched manicure?? If you can call it thatHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 19, 2021Previous reviewLess then one star.
