Vartani Nail Design

I absolutely love kelly and her sister! Great prices! And I love how I can tell them exactly what I want and that is what I get. I am very particular and so I appreciate that very much! Love these ladies! Def worth my trip from downtown la

I have Been coming here for years! Nancy has been doing my pedicure for almost 10 years. She is amazing. Nancy does an excellent job. I haven’t left disappointed ever. She always makes sure I’m happy before I leave. I love the fact that everytime I go in I don’t have to tell her how to do it she already knows. I have also done manicures and gel with kelly. Also does a great job. She’s quick clean and does an awesome job.

I can not praise Nancy enough! She gives me the BEST pedicure EVER! She knows exactly how I like my toes to look and the shape. I am very picky when it comes to my toes and she accommodates me perfectly!

I liked the nail techs. Friendly, but the pedicure was very fast and seemed incomplete, though the polish looked great. I had hoped for more attention to the cuticles and smoothing the rough edges. The gel nails were very thick and looked very fake. Not my style, though I appreciate her trying to make them strong. It just came off like poorly done ceramic. Won’t be back.

Yey!
My first time!
I came in this afternoon with my sister and met this two Asian ladies who are very nice.
They were about to close like 15mins and they still have customers too; however, they still let us in.
While I was waiting for my turn I was looking at all the colors for there nail polish.
They have a lot and I had hard time but it’s a good because they give you a lot of options.
Well when it was my turn the lady soak my feet with soap, brush, and cut my nails and clean my nail thoroughly. Lol. Lastly they put the nail polish color that I like and it came out very pretty.
I recommend this place and I will bring my friends here.
Great service!
Not expensive!
Worth it!
I’ll be your regular customer!

I came here to get my nails done because my usual place was busy and I had really bad pain from a ingrown.
So I got fill (i think it was $ 18) Kelly it was okay the two stars go to her wasn’t completely satisfied
Than some other lady does my pedicure it was like I paid $ 13 to get my toes picked at I asked if she can please get the skin in the edges and the ingrown so she just cuts my nail half way causing it to make the pain worst
NEVER AGAIN WILL I COME BACK
I WENT HERE BECAUSE iT WASN’T THAT PRICY AND IT WAS WORST BETTER GO TO GLENDALE NAILS ON GLENDALE AND PALMER ACROSS FROM SHAKEYS YOU GET MANICURE PEDICURE FOR 17 AND THEY ALWAYS DO A AWESOME JOB
AND FILL STARTS FROM 13+

This place is small, women are nice. Overall the work wasn’t that great. I got a gel mani and regular pedicure… the gel nails were a little sloppy, and they didn’t spend much time on the pedicure (scrubbing/​cleaning/​massaging). total was $ 36
$ 20 gel nail
$ 2 gel removal
$ 12 pedicure
$ 1 fee to pay with card
Honestly I have had better work for that price… Place was ok but not my go to nail salon
Wasn’t horrible, but could improve

This is the worst nail salon experience I have ever had. So gross and disappointing and frustrating, when part of the point of having your nails done is to relax, and all I could think about the whole time was making this one star review. It was uncomfortable, all the furniture was disgusting, they didn’t even use clean towels!!! I watched her grab a used towel from the next station, cut and «clean» my nails over it, shake off the cut nails onto the floor, then while i was drying, grab the towel from under my hands to use for the next pedicure. The manicure and pedicure both felt and look horrible, uneven and messy, unclean tools, no massage. I don’t know why I should feel guilty posting such a bad review, but I don’t know how this place has repeat customers, much less 4 stars (at the time of this review). UHK! I am still grossed out just thinking about the experience.

I have been coming here for almost a year and they have yet to disappoint me! Kelly, Nancy they are all so nice. They care about all of their customers and take great care of them! Keep up the great work ladies!

I love this nail salon! My friend took me here for the first time and I can’t stop coming here. They’re so nice and funny. Their prices are also really good compared to the other places I’ve gone to.

Kelly does a great job with gel manicure and it is only $ 20. Lots of colors to choose from and she charges an extra $ 2 if you want to take the previous gel polish off. I’ve been to other places and never charged extra if you are a returned customer. I had this other lady do my pedi twice now. She doesn’t do good job. Both times, I felt the polish wasn’t coated evenly and I had the owner Kelly fix it

This is not a nail salon. This is a poorly air conditioned room with old equipment and two nail techs. They were friendly and did an ok job. There is no parking as they share a tiny lot with a few businesses.

Best nail salon!!! Kelly and Nancy are amazing! Been a loyal customer for 6 years, and I love them!
Clean salon, amazing work, and reasonable prices.

I’ve been coming to this place for over a year now. My friend recommended them because of their reasonable prices. 20 dollars for gels. 13 dollars for a pedicure. You can’t beat that.
Other than the cheap prices, I really don’t enjoy coming here too much. The staff can be unprofessional and they can be rude. I called ahead of time and asked if I could come in. Even though I was given the okay to come in 15 minutes, when I walked in those ladies acted like I was crazy for coming in even though I said I called. As I’m trying to check my phone to make sure I called the right number, one of the ladies is laughing out loud at me with her client. So rude and unprofessional. And of course, because they are overwhelmed and busy, they are rushing and being super short with me. My pedicure looked horrible and my skin was being pulled and tugged. Ouch, I finally had to say something and instead of apologizing, the lady talks back to me. This is honestly the last time I will be here. I don’t think the cheap price is worth the horrible experience. I never feel welcomed and these women like to talk behind clients back in Vietnamese. I only know because I am fluent and they’ve had no idea ever since I started coming here.
Happy thanksgiving. I’ve spent so much money here coming every two weeks for gels and a pedi. Never again.

BEST nail salon in town! The prices are very reasonable and the quality of work is outstanding! I’ve been coming here for 5 years now and every time they do a great job! I usually go by Kelly, but Nancy does a great job too. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend it!

Very good service! Loved Kelly and Linda! They were kind and even helped me choose colors! Will go there again. Gel mani-​20 reg pedi– 13: $ 33 + tip

Ugh, Unilocal did me wrong on this one. How this place can have any positive reviews is beyond me! I’m not one to usually \write reviews but I feel compelled to warn others about this place. I’ve been to many many nail salons in my lifetime and I’ve thought I’ve had some bad experiences/​crappy service in the past, but this one tops them all by miles. First of all, the place is a tiny and everything in it is old and drab. I kick myself for not walking in and walking right back out.
But the depressing state of the shop alone is not enough reason for me to write this bad review. I asked for a mani/​pedi and I noticed that they had 3 nail stations and 2 spa chairs. All 3 nail stations were occupied but there was no one in the spa chairs. I figured since no one else was getting a pedi and the spa chairs were empty, that they would seat me in one of them. I have a newborn baby at home and I rarely get to go get my nails done anymore, so when I do, I expect to have at least an hour in which I can relax and feel pampered. Well, instead of getting one of the spa chairs, they made me wait 15 — 20 minutes until one of the stations was empty and then sat me there and brought out a plastic tub for my feet. Again, this alone wouldn’t have pissed me off, but then when the next customer came in, they sat her in one of the spa chairs! I guess I wasn’t good enough for one.
The part of this whole experience that really got my blood boiling was that the woman who gave me my manicure spent a whole 5 minutes on the ENTIRE manicure, from start to finish (and this is including the half moon design I had asked for, which she didn’t really know how to do and did so haphazardly.) She was done with my entire manicure while the lady working on my feet had only finished cutting the cuticles on one toe! Manicures usually come with a hand massage. She did mine in record time! About 10 seconds per hand! I couldn’t believe it. She just did such a half-​assed job and I could see lint stuck in the polish she just slapped on my nails. When I pointed out these mistakes to her, she acted like it was such a chore to have to remove them. When she was done, my nails looked like they were painted by a blind person with seizures. I had red paint on my skin that she never bothered to clean up.
I’ve never been to a salon that cared so little about the work they were doing or made me feel like they wanted me out of that chair so quickly. I feel cheated of my time spent there at that retched place.

Reviews definitely deceived me as well. Looking back, this was DEFINITELY my fault, but I had never been here before and relied on the great reviews to go here for the first (and last) time.
I asked my bridesmaids to meet me at this salon so that we could all get a mani pedi together a few days before my wedding. We chose gel for the mani and regular polish for the pedi. While the price is right and the ladies are kind (lots of smiling, lots of nodding), the salon is small, dated, and dirty.
The staff reused the same old towels for different girls – even after cleanings, eek; they cut nails and threw the trimmings on the ground, etc., etc., etc. It got to the point where I noticed so many little unclean practices that I was afraid to touch anything. Just… no.
Overall, it was a drab, unfortunate experience. Sure, it’s inexpensive, but obviously for a reason. Definitely will never return.

Reviews deceived me a little, this place is not clean at all, I think it looks dirty, everything looks broken and just OLD. I was actually scared when they were cleaning my nails in fear of getting an infection or something. I wish I payed more attention to where the equipment came from.
It’s a great price for only $ 20 for a gel manicure, but I might spend more elsewhere to get a better job done, we’ll see how long mine lasts for too & I’ll provide an update.
Their regular nail selection looked just ok, seemed like they have all old bottles. Same with the gel polish, they didn’t have much of a selection!
The reason I am ultimately giving 3 stars is for is how my nails turned out in the end, just OK, or less than OK actually. The edges are not neat, nor crisp corners. Everyone said Nancy does a good job, she painted my nails, and it was a dissappointment. There is gel on my skin and it looks messy. They did do a good job cleaning up my cuticles and dead skin. I was probably there for one hour!!! They do take a long time, there are only 3 of them, and they switch from cleaning to painting.
Not sure I will come back here.

Ladies, pull out your iPhones and bookmark this baby!
I’ve waited almost a year to write this review out of sheer selfishness. Since getting hooked on 14-​day-​lasting gel manicures over a year ago, I’ve searched from Silver Lake to Glendale for a salon that would give me consistent results without breaking the bank.
I used to get my nails done in Los Feliz at $ 40 a pop for the gel and $ 20 for the pedicure. At $ 60/​visit, not including tip, this luxury twice a month became hard to justify when bad manicures happened at least half the time.
One day, I stumbled on Vartani Nail Design on the Glendale/​Eagle Rock crack. Owned by sisters Kelly (big boss) and Nancy (little boss), these Vietnam-​born ladies giggled, chatted and worked their way into my heart with consistently perfect, bimonthly mani-​pedis. At $ 20 for a gel manicure and $ 15 for a pedicure, the cost is reasonable enough to regularly delight my fingers and toes with candy-​colored awesomeness.
It’s true that this salon doesn’t have the flashy lighting, lavender-​scented air or champagne to offer and that’s just fine. I’ll take the immaculate manicures and put the extra $ 25 towards a bottle of Chandon.
Tips: Call to make an appointment — it’s a 3 – 4 person operation and always busy. In 40 visits, they’ve been available for walk-​ins 2 times. Slather SPF on tops of your hands and fingers before dipping them in the UV light. $ 20 for one-​color gel manicure, $ 25 for French gel, $ 15 for pedicures. Don’t panic when they service multiple clients simultaneously — it still comes out perfect. If you become a friendly regular, you get special night/​early morning appointment times!
