JJ Beauty Nail & Eyelash

I always come to mr. cofee for dessert. Today is my sis’s belated birthday celebration. We went to century spa on Olympic and Crenshaw that we were very happy there. From there we would like to do nails before heading to get the best massage in Los Angeles, in my opinion, self indulgence spa on Pico and Manning.
There were two technicians working on me the peson who did my mani had been doing appropriate buffing and cutting but she missing on the side of the nails. Also i had to tell her to redo polish because on the side of every nails, there were no polish. Her strokes were concentrated just at the middle of the nails so they are all missing. She did redo them and it came out just fine.
The girl who did my pedi was rough. Hurt me feel times, her filing was too close on skin. The most dissatisfaction part is the result of the uneven, bubbling polish. Why it comes out like this, see pic. My friend and sis said it is because of the bad quality of the polish. ??#**& why don’t she told me and let me choose some other ones. It is not that hard! I tipped 30% because i am nice enough to thank you for nice environment but something has to change here.

The WORST nail salon I’ve ever been to. I came in to remove my acrylics and a manicure. They said «YES, we can take off acrylics.» No, they cannot. They do not have the tools to do it. No dremels. Nothing. Instead, it took them TWO HOURS of soaking my hands in acetone, MANUAL nail filing with 6 different files, and they still DID NOT take off the acrylic. They just filed it down close enough so I couldn’t see the layer. Now, the layers of acrylic is peeling off, leaving ugly chipped parts on my nails. I looked on the nail and realized theres still a layer of acrylic ON EVERY NAIL. What the hell did I pay my money for? This place is awful and I’m never coming back.

I got eyelash extensions here 3 days ago and literally half of them already fell off
I paid 90 dollars for mink lashes even if it is not as expensive as other places I am extremely disappointed…
I feel like I just got ripped off…
Never doing lashes here again

I like it here. It’s cheap for eyelashes and the lady who did mine has 8 years of experience. I got synthetic for 70 bucks. Usually people tip ten since the process takes a while. She did mess up a little bit, just so little– but fortunately it’s not noticeable to anyone else. I am my harshest critic!

This review is on behalf of my sister-​in-​law, who doesn’t have a Unilocal account but wants to let everyone know about this place.
«This business is so unprofessional. I was reluctant to even give it ONE star.
I made an appointment before going in, and they set me up for my manicure and pedicure. I don’t know if it was because of a language barrier, but they weren’t even friendly the least bit. Even if there was a language barrier, they could have been respectful, courteous and kind. But they didn’t even smile or try to converse with me. They were very rude to me.
While the girl working on my manicure clipped my cuticles, she clipped off a chunk of my skin. I let that one go. But on another finger, she clipped the side of my nail, and it start bleeding profusely. At that point, I didn’t want her to finish because it hurt a lot!
Even though I didn’t get a manicure, I paid for it and left.
When I went home, my finger began swelling up, and it was very, very sensitive. Touching the side of my finger to anything made it hurt and burn. It was red, and there was yellow drainage coming out from it. So, I knew it was an infection, which highly possibly indicates that they don’t sanitize their tools properly or something.
My infection has been going on for a week now. I am beyond infuriated. I went in to complain, and they were all defensive about it instead of apologetic. I really don’t even want to go into how unprofessional that is as a business. Eventually, I got my money back, but that’s not even the point. I would’ve liked an apology, but they were rude and defensive, saying that they have an approved paper from the state for proper sterilization. Lol…
I will NEVER be coming back here again.»

The people who work here are effing rude! Not only do they talk about the non speaking Korean workers they also disregard the customers.
The person doing my nails today huffed at me because I didn’t know she wanted me to move my hand a certain way. I can’t read your mind woman!
AND she wanted to charge me $ 10 more dollars than it normally costs. Wtf?!
I’ve been here many times and have seen the same women who bitch and chat it up like no one is around.
The place is sloppy and their service has declined.
It’s too bad because it was a decent place before.
This place gets 0 stars.

Really sweet girls doing your nails. I get my eyebrows waxed here as well. They always do a clean, professional job.
Regarding the one star review below — Yes, this is salon run by Koreans in Koreatown so you will hear often them speaking in Korean. I personally don’t understand how that’s in any way better or worse than them speaking any other East Asian language. All I care about is quality.
With most other places I’ve gone to, my gel nails have chipped within the first two weeks. That’s never the case here. They’re not the cheapest salon I’ve been to but the cleanliness and quality make up for their slightly higher prices. And they’re always happy and helpful. I’ll keep coming back.

The salon is in a great location with parking. The staff is very professional and courteous. I love the ambience in the salon, it is super clean with a comfortable setup. My appointment was early and there was plenty of parking however when I left at about noon on a Friday the lot was full.
I also got the eyelash extensions service. Love, love the whole experience. My lashes are thinning due to an illness Sammy is the bomb! Great demeanor pleasant and friendly.
This a can’t lose nail and lash salon. Make an appointment prior to a visit.

I drive down from SB just to have Sammie do my eyelashes. Trust me, she is worth the drive! Sammie is very detailed and always makes sure my eyelashes are to my liking. She’s so gentle that I usually end up falling asleep during the time. I’m in love with my latest refill and have received so many compliments on how natural/​full they look.

Yes, they’re able to do the nail art designs that I request but the price is just too much. I’ve been here twice and this past time she charged me 70 dollars for gel nails with art, which in my opinion wasn’t anything too difficult or crazy. The girl who comes up with the price (I’m assuming the owner) tries to charge for every little thing. So that will be my last time there, I only went again because my friend wanted to go.

Not a happy client
I should of known that going to K town was going to be a BIG MISTAKE *price was to much for a filling got charge for a manicure when I when in for a fill lesson learn
I know a lot of people will not be happy with this review but I think this place is just all looks and BAD SERVICE
ALL THE LADYS DID WAS TALK IN KOREAN worst then going to Vietnamese!

Very clean place. First time I didn’t i was relax doing my nails because they were off their phones! Now dates thanks to the smart phones, people love to multi task. They have soooo many options in color and design. You should always make an appointment. Walkin are not always welcomed.
LOVE MY NAILS!

They are very beginner. look at this.
I paid $ 50 +tip 10.
Is this 60 dollars gel nail.
Im so unhappy..

This place is great!!! Clean, Friendly staff and fabulous results! !!
I’ve done my gel manicure by Yuri. she is so sweet n talented! Definitely she is the best. We had a great time picking colors and designs for my nail together which came out unbelievably well. I was so impressed how she worked. She takes so much care and makes sure it’s perfect.
And 2 weeks later, everything still intact.
Can’t wait for my next visit :)

I like coming to JJ for several reasons:
1. Good nail designs. If I want cute nails with a specific design whether it be nail art or glitter, I can usually always count on these Korean girls to execute what I want.
2. Clean salon with a modern clean look
3. Prices are reasonable. Gel mani with regular pedi is around $ 40 and for each nail design it’s usually an extra $ 5 per nail (which can add up).
4. Quality of gel nails usually last me a month which I’m happy with.
5. Convenient parking lot. Although after a certain time (I think 11/​12, you have to pay $ 2 to «valet» your car, aka watch a man park it in an open parking spot right in front of you. Stupid things of LA)
6. Customer rewards system. Make sure you get a stamp card to get your $ 10 discount or free lashes after 10 appts.
I have done my lashes here twice and I was very happy with the results. I don’t know if they were mink or what quality they were but they looked natural and lasted about a month. For $ 70 for a full set and $ 50 for refills, the prices are definitely competitive. I would definitely say give this salon a try if you like cute nail art and want to try out lash extensions!
Yes, there is a slight language barrier at times if you do not speak Korean but I’ve never had any problems.

I am absolutely happy with my eyebrows done here with EunHwa!!! I was referred to her by a family friend and they were so right about her skills! My brows had bald spots and uneven areas but after one session, my eyebrows looks amazing! She now uses 3-​D hair stroke which I never even knew about before coming to her. She is really detailed and makes sure you get what you want! Next time I am in town, i am going back to her for touch-​up! Love love looooooveee!!! I would highly recommend this place!

Great service! It was a Sunday afternoon, and my sister and I spontaneously decided to get a manicure and pedicure. Most places were booked, but JJ said we could come in an hour after we called.
Great deal! Each of us paid $ 30 for a general (not gel) manicure and pedicure, which is a deal! They had a large selection, from Essie to OPI, to pick from. We tipped generously because of their service and the results. They were very attentive and thorough.

I go see Eunhwa for my eyelashes. I freaking LOVE her. My lashes look amazing every time.
I get so many compliments on them.
Two major bonuses of going to JJ Nails for my lashes:
1. Price point, can’t be beat for the quality.
2. Longevity, they last a full month (if you are good and take care of them).
Highly recommend her.
A little suggestion, it’s always crowded by the area so keep that in mind for appt/​travel time.
She is also very punctual so don’t be late!

I called her to see if I could get in, last minute, for my nails… she told me she could fit me in. I got there and waited a long time, then she asked me if I had an appointment and I told her that I did not, but that I called earlier… She said «Oh, sorry, No, we are booked».
I wasted my time.
Language barriers… they are not advantageous in such instances.

I am extremely disappointed in the service provided by Angie.
She did not remove my gel nails properly. Not only did she leave chunks of gel on my nail, she gave me a manicure to «hide» these chunks.
I was horrified when two of my nails broke the next day (not even 24hours after removing my gel nails). This has never happened to me before where my nails break after I get gel nails.
My nails continued to break, so I removed the red nail polish she had coated my nails with. My nails were SEAPED in red polish and it wouldn’t even come off.
I had to go back to the nail salon the next day and another lady removed the red nail polish as well as the rest of the gel that was stuck on my nails. It was so disgusting that it’s not right that I post photos because I may be flagged.
I AM HORRIFIED OF ANGIE’s service (I also think she goes by the name Annie).
My nails are still so damn brittle and keep breaking because she filed down my nails so thin.
WILL NEVER BE BACK.
AVOID THIS PLACE
FIRE ANGIE or this place will definitely lose its clientele.
