Choco Nail

This is my new go-​to nail salon. I always make an appointment because I’m only available during peak hours and I don’t want to be turned away. Every time I’m there, all the technicians are busy with someone so I would suggest making an appointment if you don’t want to wait. I’ve had gel manis from everyone there and my nails have always come out consistently good and just the way I want them. The Japanese brand of gel polish they carry is the best! It doesn’t chip at all. I’ve noticed that OPI brand gel polish is prone to chipping on my thin nails. And the Japanese brand also comes off easily so the removal process is quick and easy.
The owner is super nice and knows her regulars by name. She is always accommodating for scheduling and makes good recommendations for nail designs. The other technicians do too!

First time getting gel nails done.
one thing that surprised me was that the WHOLE
SESSION TOOK MORE THAN 3 HOURS.(including wait
time)
The manicurist is very skillful and i will be back for a
different design next time. For 2 gel designs (mom and I),
I paid about 100 $ with tip

Soojung was great! Really gentle and meticulous. Love my mani!
Also, this was my second time there, but my friends and I left without getting our mani/​pedis done the first time because my friend fainted and we had to call the ambulance. Luckily, my friend is fine and Choco Nail was incredibly helpful, understanding, and kind. Really grateful for their professionalism during a scary time.

Excellent service, I used to live across the street from this nail shop, now I moved to Northridge I still come here. I can not go somewhere else. The owner is a very caring and giving person. I love this place!

The best place in KTown for gel nails that I have found! They really know how to shape your nails as well as all the fancy designs. I am VERY particular about nail shaping and length and they do a good job of making nails look consistent.

After looking all over LA I have finally found my #1 go-​to nail shop! Coming here is most definitely worth the drive, especially traveling from Sherman Oaks. The service is fantastic all around! Not to mention the cleanliness here is definitely top of the line. All their tools are individually packaged and that’s a huge plus to me! Big ups to my girl Migi for killing the game with the nail designs! Most definitely go to her if you want excellent designs on top of the cutest gel manicures I’ve ever seen. Their gel selection has the most vibrant colors and that’s very hard to find in a lot of nail salons. They use quality nail polish and that’s always a plus! You are definitely getting what you’re paying for here! Great quality, awesome customer service and I assure you that you’ll always leave with a smile! Keep it up ChocoNail! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Neat and clean

My go to nail place! I adore this little nail salon. The staff here is super friendly and they do an amazing job with every mani & pedi I’ve gotten. The technicians really take their time with you to be sure get exactly what you want. I highly recommend following them on Instagram so you can check out the awesome work they do. A+++!!!

Love this place! Definitely make an appointment, since I think it’s hard for them to squeeze in walk ins. I had a last minute mani/​pedi I needed since I’m in a wedding party (I sort of begged), and they were super sweet here and shuffled around their scheduled appointments to squeeze me in at the end of the day even though they were already full. I showed up an hour before closing, and they stayed past their closing time to finish up my nails. My nails also turned out beautifully, and it was cheap too! My gel mani plus the rhinestones and my normal pedi cost $ 57 (the cost will change somewhat based on your designs). They take their time to make sure their work is beautiful. Seriously could not say a bad thing about them. Love love love!

I am a nail fanatic so believe when I say they really do deserve 5 stars !!
Parking: meter parking or you CAN park in the back. What’s really GREAT customer service if your meter runs out and you’re in the middle of a mani or pedi they will fill it for you!
Cleanliness: SO great! I have OCD with things and everything in here is clean, packaged, and just so darn cute
Gel Selection: AMAZING!!! If they put it on your first nail and you don’t like it they will try on a different color… They are very aware and into customer satisfaction which is great and appreciated
Design: unlike anything I’ve experienced!!! So great! Show them a picture and they will make it happen
Price: gel manicure and regular pedicure is $ 60. Design per nail varies. It’s more than I usually pay in Pasadena but the quality and customer service makes them worth the price and drive
I’ve come 3 times and will continue to return based on everything.
Stop on by!!!

.they ve never disappointed me. great design like fruit, zigzag, star by hands. If you need a special thing, recommend! !!

My favorite nail salon! I come every month & they always do a great job with my nails. They also make sure you are satisfied with their work before you walk out the door and they have the nicest & most talented nail techs!

I have been here for the first time for mani &pedi.
When I get in there nobody say hi to me. how come ?
when I started my manicure done with Korean lady was busy to talk on the phone for get an appt. I understand but … I had to wait for a while. .
Biggest one was she stopped my service cus she got a VIP customer who wanted fix a her gelmani.
My service was first … if she didn’t start, I understand but she was doing my nail done and stoped.
Cus the VIP costumer … why it happened? Cus I didn’t get a gel mani ?
So rude… and never got a this kinda experience before … finally I couldn’t get a nail done even clear the cuticle.. Cus times up to go to the school. One hour stayed nothing. Waste time a lot …

Great experience! I had a gel nail from Jean and she did such a awesome job. I got so much compliments from people.

I would give five stars, but I expected so much more. I usually get my nails done here on occasions. I’ve been here more than 5 times, so I guess you can say I’m an occasional regular. This time I got gel extensions for a cheaper price. Unfortunately 4 out of 10 of my fingers were not shaped identically.
This is the first time I’ve had a minor problem with Choco Nail. Overall, they are a decent nail salon. Their designs are a plus but charge extra for each finger with a design. They do accept card, yes, even discover! You usually don’t have to wait to long if you’re a walk in but if you’re running on a tight schedule then set an appointment.

I have been here twice in 3 weeks .I had acrylic nails put on with color. First time I had them done there they lasted about 1and a half weeks before they all fell off. yeah they looked great but come on I was gonna get a fill but before I could none of the nails that mind you I paid 45 bux for with a very generous 20 dollar tip fell off. thought may be just a
I went LAST NIGHT guess what paid 45 for the same procedure acrylic nails looked awesome this time left a 15 dollar tip and my thumb nail popped off tonight the very next day. dont go here unless you expect to be taken for… your money and time. never going again.

Glad I found this place had a great experience. Sharon is the best. I love my nails. Plus it’s walking distance officially my new spot.

I love this nail salon. I’ve only gone once but will definitely be a returning customer. They have a wide selection of OPI and Essie colors, huge plus. I’ve gone to sketchy places that have the WORST colors and no name brands.
My nail technician was extremely sweet and gave me a fabulous manicure. I did not feel rushed at all. They do nail art which is cool if you want that, I opt for more neutral colors.
Maybe I’m a bit frugal but $ 12 seems a bit steep? I used to go to a great place for $ 10 but this is within walking distance from my apartment. Overall, amazing service and experience.

I LOVE this place so much. Michelle usually does my nails and she is amazing. So extremely detailed, she’s a perfectionist. All of the other girls are awesome too. They do the best nail art everrr! Miji, SooJung, and Sharon are all awesome. I’ve never been disappointed.
The quality of the work/​quality of products used are worth the price. They are very reasonably priced. I hope they never close because I honestly don’t think I’ll find another place that does such amazing work for such a reasonable price.
They accept credit cards. Lots of metered parking, and they have a private lot (behind the sandwich place on the corner)

Sharon is the
! Perfect talon shape and a pleasure to converse with while getting my nails done. The other gals that I have seen do an amazing job as well, especially with design. They have Color Club nail polish which is one of my favorites (can you get some Zoya too?!).
Location is convenient from the Metro Western/​Wilshire station and it’s next to a dispensary and Whiz (cheesesteak shop) which is a great perk :)
