Zen Nail Spa

Thank you VIVIAN for making me feel pretty! She was very kind and professional. I asked for a gel mani and she gave me exactly what I wanted! I was really unsure about what I wanted, but she picked the perfect color for my skin tone. She’s detailed and I could tell she did her best to make me look good. The salon is clean and modern, so the whole time getting my nails done I felt super relaxed. However, I think the service from the ladies really made me choose this location as my new go-​to nail spot.

Usually go to a different salon but they were closed on a Monday when I needed to get my nails done before a trip. Came across this little gem and what a pleasant surprise! Not only are they open longer, they accommodate all your needs-​clean and chic environment, friendly staff, tons of color options, they don’t push to up sell you on services-​My favorite, good music playing, and they do an amazing job on your nails! Each person I’ve had this far pays so much attention to detail I have only left each time with the best nail job ever! I get Gel nails and regular pedicures and they look amazing thanks to this staff! Will be coming here from now on and bringing some friends along! Plenty of space! Thank you for finally opening a nail salon with style and great people!

I called this place on a whim, and am so happy I did. The minute I walked in I loved it. Such a perfect selection of polish, you’ll never have a problem picking out one.
Everyone who works here are so lovely, and extremely detailed. I live in Santa Monica, but will always make my over over to Encino. You feel so taken care of and leave feeling so relaxed.
Ask for Tim, Kristy, Vivian! They’re wonderful

This place is awesome. Everything is new, clean, and fresh. Great polish selection too. Best of all: super sweet and professional people working there/​running the place who do a beautiful job. High above the competition and great pricing.

It’s been very difficult to find a consistently good nail salon, so I am so happy to have found Zen. It is clean, roomy and has wonderful service. The polish colors and collections are beautiful. They buy many of the colors in gel and in regular, so if you want to match a gel manicure with the same color with regular polish on your toes you can.
My gel manicures are lasting between two and three weeks!

This place is amazing! Very clean, everyone there is super nice and caring, I love that they make sure your happy with the shape of the nail before they finish the job, the massage chair are great! You can’t go wrong if you come to Zen Nails!

Wow! Love this place! Clean, respectful, great customer service. Everyone is extremely nice! Had manicure, pedicure and shoulder massage with Tiffany and Tim today! Extremely happy with the service! Finally found my home nail salon in Encino!

There are very few nail professionals that I would drive 30+ minutes to see, Kirstie is one of them. She is THE BEST I’ve ever had when it comes to nails which is why we have been together for 15 years. I get acrylics and I am hard on my nails. I have a crew of animals, I garden and it seems my hands are always in water. If I had the time and the money I would treat myself every two weeks but I don’t so I see Kirstie every 3 weeks and it is rare that anything lifts or breaks between appointments (lifting is a HUGE deal breaker for me). Thanks to Kirstie I get compliments on my nails all the time.
This is a new shop for me. Kirstie has always worked at higher end shops and moved to this one when they first opened. It’s a large shop that I find very inviting and relaxing. The chairs are quite comfortable (great massage), they have a large selection of nail polish colors and I have found the other members of the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. I’ve had both Tina and Vivian for pedicures. I have terrible feet. I deal with ingrown toenails as well as hammer toes. I found both women to be very knowledgeable and to give a great pedicure.
As with any personal service, the more often you see the provider the more familiar they become with your preferences. For those that gave this shop and staff a low rating I would encourage you to give them another opportunity and to voice your past concerns or disappointments to Tim. Kirstie has always worked at shops that provided excellent customer service and I doubt that this has changed. If you don’t speak up you not only deprive yourself of building a personal and beneficial relationship, you deprive them the opportunity to improve their services and the skills of their staff.

FINALLY!
Clean, modern, brand new nail salon so close to my house! Got my gel pedi yesterday and was really impressed. Accommodated me immediately with no appointment (I’m assuming that one is not going to last long), very comfortable massage chairs, tones of color options. The lady that was doing my pedicure was incredibly sweet and did a flawless job. The best part was the massage, of course, they warm up their cream and I think it’s an absolutely genius idea, especially on a cold winter day.
Keep it up, Zen, I’ll be back for sure.

I just had the best gel mani and pedi by Tim
and Tina! There were so many beautiful colors to choose from. Tim and Tina made sure that my nails were perfect and that I was comfortable. The salon itself was really pretty, extremely clean and they had very relaxing music playing. I will definitely be back! I also had my eyebrows done by Kirsty and they look great!

Honestly, I was super excited to come in here due to all the stellar reviews.
I made an appointment for Tim and Tina since their names were most promoted on the Unilocal page. However, I think coming here was a giant waste of money.
My usual nail salon doesn’t offer any speciality pedicures and that was my main reason for coming here it was time my feet had some TLC. I opted for the Caribbean Sea Spray package.
Honestly, it didn’t seem like anything special. It felt extremely routine and despite her amazing reviews she didn’t get out all of my ingrown until I mentioned it.
As for my gel manicure, it began positively because they had this green color I’ve been searching for forever, it was part of their «Rockstar» collection so it costed 10 dollars extra, I agreed because I was like ok treat yourself girl. But all the «Rockstar» collection is, clear gel polish on bottom then glitter poured on your nail then clear gel polish over it. Some salons do this at no extra cost!!!
In Total I paid 82 dollars plus tip. I left thinking it was okay it’s good to treat myself everyone once in awhile. Except within 24 hours I had a fingernail already chip at the tip and my whole entire pinky toe polish with some toe nail attached just fall off. I WALKED INTO NOTHING I WAS JUST SITTING IN MY BED AND IT JUST FELL. like I’m wondering if she cracked my nail and was hoping the polish would hold it together? I’m honestly extremely upset and feel I wasted a lot of money here and now I will have to go spend more money to get it fixed elsewhere like how excessive, it shouldn’t be this way.

Had my nails done here a few days ago. The people here are nice. The place is clean. Not overbooked, easy to get an appointment.
Now, a few issues:
1.) The mid-​nail upcharge. I was told my nails would cost one amount prior, and mid-​service, was then told my nails would cost more for work that was already done. This charge was completely made up on the spot. It was ridiculous. What was I going to say? No? And walk out with my nails half-​done? That, IMO, was dishonest.
2.) The nail customization. Could be better. Lines not straight enough, design not close enough to the sample.
3.) Regarding customization, they charged me an additional $ 25 ($ 2.50/nail) for a design on my nails no more complicated than a french tip, and the job was not perfect.
4.) Overall, I felt ripped off, like they were just setting the prices as they went along. It just seemed dishonest.
That being said, I’m going to give this place one more try. We’ll see how it goes.

The team at Zen Nails is awesome! Everyone is super friendly from the second you come in the door. Their gel color selection is INSANE! and even more importantly, they do a flawless job! Other places I have gone too ALWAYS chip. I come back to Zen bc I want to change the color or they grow out not because I HAVE TO. I have been coming for months now and Tim is great with gels. Tina is great with a pedicure and everyone else who helps along the way is great too. I am so glad Unilocal had great reviews and helped me find this gem!

What can I say ?? Finally so happy to say I can call this place my new regular joint
They are so friendly and kind and do incredible work.
From the first time I came here the eve before thanksgiving, I was treated with the utmost kindness.
They were willing to accommodate me with a cracked broken nail down to the bone! Not only did they fix it and give me a solution; but they did immaculate work!
For that reason I came back today and had an amazing experience again!

I went here when they just opened. Then i went on my vacation for 6 weeks now I’m back for my pedicure with Tina.
I was greeted by a gentlemen when I entered.
This time I got the aspen icemint again.
I called Kristie if i can come in tonight for pedicure with Tina. She agreed. There are more décor to the shop which i like. It feel very fine and a good vibe!
During my pedicure I’ve noticed Tina is very careful and specific with my toes. She’s cleaning underneath the nails for any dirty and checking for any ingrown (i never get those). She would trim my cuticle several time which i really like! Tina use this white scrub for my legs and it felt great. After its fully scrubbed she throughly washed it down every inch. She even cleaned them between my toes. Once it is all clean i get the aspen icemint clay mask wrapped with exotic hot moist towels. It is the best it gives your legs nice chill. While the towels are on Tina gave an awesome foot massage!
Driving here wasn’t so bad but i managed to get there in time. Plenty of parking upon arrival.
I will try the paraffin on next visit for my feets.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Thanks Kristie & Tina!!!

One word: AWESOME!!!
Quiet
Relaxing
Clean
New
Professional
Amazing parking in back
I’ll be back!

I’m so glad I discovered this nail salon! Love it here! Tin or Tim (sorry don’t know which it is) did an amazing job with my gel mani! I also loved my pedi. I highly recommend this place. It’s very clean and I love the décor and beautiful view of the fountain.

Very nice, clean and quiet nail salon in Encino! Feels very modern. The massage chairs are wonderful and the staff is very nice. Kristie and Tina did our nails and they were both very thorough and good. Plus, they’re open on Sunday’s and open till 8pm during the week… Huge plus!!!

I am SO ecstatic to have found this new salon! Five stars in all areas. I like my gels done a specific way and they do an even better job than I could’ve expected in half the time. The salon itself is beautifully decorated, spotless and did I mention they have the best massage chairs? Parking is in the back making it easy and FREE.
I feel like I discovered treasure that no one knows about since this is a new salon. Go and check them out ASAP :) Tom, Tina and Christy are amazing!

This salon deserves five stars for a few reasons…
It’s clean, open, and right next to my yoga studio. Tim did an amazing job on my manicure and Tina gave me the best pedi I’ve had in months. Their price for a mani pedi is pretty decent ($ 32). Loved the hot lotion massage!
They’re open late too! I’ll be coming back.
