Leafa Nails By Yoco

Yoko did such a good job with my nails! I showed her photos and she did exactly the way I liked! She was very fast and neat! Definitely coming back again

Superior service and nails for a good price! Yoco is amazing! Gel nails lasted for 3 – 4 weeks and that’s a miracle since they don’t last this long when I get them done at other places. She does sleek, classy nails for me and my real nails remain healthy despite getting gel nails. Her equipment and tools are always clean and she gives you full attention and detailed care. I go in not knowing exactly what color and what design I want but I always come out extremely happy. Love this place and Yoco!

Yoco is soooo good, I am really impressed by her technique, she paid attention to every detail. I have the picture with me to show her what my style is and what do I like. she finished her job perfectly. I am glad I find her and I will keep going to her place.

I love Yoco. She is so sweet, patient, and skilled. I’m so glad I found someone nearby that I can go to for my manicures. She’s a very good artist and is very detail orientated, which I appreciate. She takes her time making sure you’ll like the end product. You never feel rushed, so it’s a very relaxing experience. My nails also are in better health because she uses less harsh gels, but they lasts just as long — if not longer.

Yoco is fantastic for many reason!
When it comes to mani/​pedi, I am very selective… chipped or bad mani/​pedi is my pet peeve. I don’t care about messy hair or not having makeup on, but I don’t leave the house without perfect nails :)
It’s not exaggeration to say, Yoco’s work is the best I’ve had for as long as I remember. I was looking for a nail artist who offers best quality, in a calm non-​chaotic environment with personalized attention, but not at a pretentious salon that prioritizes trendiness and décor more than quality. Yoco is all I was hoping for, and much more…
My mani looked pretty much like day 1 after 7 – 8 days… And with my line of work, the most it had lasted me previously at different salons was 2 – 3 days! My pedi, lasted at least 5 – 6 weeks (then my toes grew!)
Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, positive energy, and professionalism is exceptional.

Yoko is a real artist. Neat and precise and perfect. Wanted to do gel manicure for a special occasion and got stuck for now six month.

Yoco is the best! She is so sweet, professional and talented. I’m moving and i don’t think I can find someone as good.

Highly recommend going to Yoco.
I just went today to get my nails done for the first time in LA and went beyond my expectations (: She really knows what she is doing! Definitely go and check her out. Also you get 10% discount on your first visit, which is a plus.

Yoko is really professional! Definitely go back again and again and again! Love my nails so much. She won’t skip any detail. Nice place to go!

Yoco is fantastic!
I’ve been going to her for years and I’m so excited that she’s making such a splash in her new place!
頑張ってね!!! Good luck!!!
FYI — Make an appointment beforehand since she’s working as a one woman show right now. You can go w your friends but you’ll have to take turns. This way you can really chat and catch up!
Enjoy!

I got the nice nail in leafs nail. Yoko is very sweet and nice ! Come ! You can deserve better nail than other store ! !!!

Been coming to Yoko since December and she’s definitely the best– her attention to details, her friendly and genuine personality, and reasonable pricing!
Thank you for all the pretty gel manicures and pedicures Yoko! Looking forward to more :)

This is my first time here. Toko is fantastic. Gentle and meticulous about her work. I’m coming back for sure

Trust me… this place is UNBEATABLE! I wish to give 6 stars if I could. Yoco has a fabulous nail styling and color sense. If you have instagram, please follow «leafa_​nails» for more nails that she’ve made. You will be addicted to Yoco’s service after the first trial!

It was 1^st manicure in LA, I decided to do smth nice with my nails for New Year party. And Yoco did AMAZING gel manicure! I had short nails when I had appointment but she did brilliant job!
Plus she is friendly and nice person to talk to about different topics. I definitely recommend her!!!

I got a lot of compliments on my nails
You’ll get what you pay for but its not even pricey than other Japanese nail salon
Yoko is the best nail artist in LA
Can’t wait till my next appointment

Leafa was so accommodating to your needs! So attentive and so skilled at such a reasonable price! I love love love my nails!
Although it took longer than expected, she was a great conversationalist and the time flew right by.
Tools were clean, many options for designs, and color selection is great.
The one thing that was hard to find in the beginning is the location, it is actually inside a hair salon (Nobu hair salon) and she rents a station in the back.
Besides that, everything else was pretty easy to find.

I’m coming up on my second week since I got my mani/​pedi at Leafa, and not a single nail has chipped. This is a big deal, since I have seriously abused my nails these last couple of weeks hauling and assembling furniture. So the workmanship at this little nail shop is really up there — comparable to the best manicures I’ve ever gotten in NYC (Rehoboth) — at a confusingly low price — $ 40 for mani/​pedi.
The only thing I wasn’t 150% satisfied with was the color selection, which is probably small in proportion to the size of the shop. But who cares about a nice manicure color if it doesn’t last past a week? I plan on bringing along a few of my own OPI/​Essies next time I go, just in case.
Just note that Leafa is located within Nobu Hair Salon, so you can park for free at the valet lot next door! LOVE it.

Her job makes me so happy all the time! Detailed work, polite for the customer, great design. I always looking forward to make next appointment. She is the best! Can’t go to another nail salon again

All the highly rated salons were booked up when I wanted a last minute appointment so I took a chance on this salon with only 2 reviews at the time.
Yoko was great-​took her time to do a fabulous mani/​pedi. ($ 40 for both). So glad she’s 3 blocks from my house!
This is the first manicure I’ve gotten in LA that lasted more than 3 days. It looked really good for NINE whole days (and pretty good still at 13!) And it’s dark red. I don’t mind paying a little more (I think it’s $ 18 for a regular mani by itself) if it’s gonna last that long. The process was a bit slow (almost 1.5 hours for both) I hate sitting for a long time — but with the great results, I don’t think I’ll mind next time.
Will definitely return. BTW… The salon is inside Nobu Hair… I had walked by a bunch of times and didn’t know I could get my nails done. Great find!
