On L A Nail & Hair

Horrible!
I’m not the type to write reviews, I’m usually extremely patient and understanding but this place REALLY bothered me.
The first two times I came in as a walk in, I had two very sweet girls who did a great job on my gel polish change. Sad that I didn’t get their names or else I’d possibly come back.
The third and fourth (last time) I went in, I got two people who absolutely did not care about what they were doing at all. They were rough and very sloppy. They got gel all over my skin and did barely anything to fix it after I pointed it out. I think there was gel or something underneath my nail too because something kept poking and hurting me! Another time they cut my skin with the nail file, I was bleeding and sore for days.
Not only is the service and quality of work inconsistent, this place is a filthy mess! I thought about getting a full manicure a few times but I was afraid I might catch something, so I just stuck with my polish changes.
I don’t expect 5 star service for the price they offer but I do expect some sort of professionalism and basic service.

Listen to the reviews and DO NOT go here!
It was new years eve and I needed a fill desperately. Many shops around LA had a 2 – 3 hr wait time, after driving by this place I called and they said they had a 30 minute wait time so I decided on them. (I should have known in comparison to the other shops wait times that this place was a no-​go).
First thing I noticed was this place was filthy, the cabinet to pick colors was dirty, the glass was smudgey, and the chairs made me uncomfortable just looking at them. During my wait I noticed a girl standing at the fan station to dry her nails (yes you have to stand to dry your hands, and it is right in front of the door), while she’s standing her nail tech grabs another customer in line and starts on her nails. The cust is done drying and reminds her nail tech that she also paid for eyebrows, so the nail tech stops on the customer midway and gets up and starts doing this woman’s eyebrows while standing AT THE FRONT COUNTER. When she finishes she wipes her hands on her pants and then goes back to the nail customer EW!
When I got seated with my tech she sat me at a station that was dirty, still had nail clippings on the towel, and powder and debris all over the table. She shook the towel off and then placed it infront of me, I asked for a fresh towel instead and she was obviously irritated that she had to go get a clean towel. When she started on my fill I already knew I had made a grave mistake. She was more concerned about who in line wanted gel and talking to the other techs. The fill she gave me was lumpy, not smoothed out, thick and uneven, crooked, and the paint job would have been better by a 5 year old. My cuticles were better before I came in. I left with my thumb bleeding, worst cuticles I’ve ever had, and nails so lumpy it looks like I gave myself a fill with no tools. These nails were so bad that when I went home I removed all the polish and filed and reshaped my own nails. This was the worst nail experience I’ve ever had and I only logged back on to this Unilocal acct to warn others. Find another shop!

Great nail salon, eye lash tint is good, too.
All the staff are friendly. nail is the good shape, and I like it. very

I gave this place a chance due to the fairly «ok» reviews on Unilocal and because I had had a rough day at work, got off at 6pm and thought of giving myself a last minute treat. Boy did i REGRET my decision! This place is cash only and parking is a pain! They have designated parking spots. I should of trusted my gut feeling and first impression and turned around — this place was straight out dirty! The floors were dirty and sticky, nails/​skin on the floor and the nail polish selection was poor. There was a lady coming around with a little cart on wheels asking if i wanted a wax or eye lash extensions. I passed but was horrified when i saw others taking her up on her offer and getting waxed or extension in PUBLIC WHILE sitting and getting their mani/​pedi! What THE! The wax stick being re-​used and the tools used for the eye lash not being cleaned! My luck the nail lady cut one of my toes and tried to place the nail polish OVER my cut! The nails came out Ok. I was horrified and seriously scared to develop some type of infection from my cut. Luckily I didn’t but I’m sure they are violation tons of healthy/​safety laws here Yes this place is cheap and the staff were super nice but you get what you pay for and in my case I learned the hard way.

This place looks dirty. I’m only getting a polish change. I will not have them cut or scrape anything. Yikes!

This place is really good! Me and my husband came in for pedis and they do a great job! My husband got Tina who worked wonders on his man feet and I had Michelle! Im veryyy picky when it comes to my feet! I dont like soft hands and i like someone who can really clean well! She did an absolute amazinggggh job! She cleaned and did my pedicure just how i asked! Of course if youre all picky about the ambiance of things you may be disappointed! They dont have spa chairs. But there overall work wins me over well over a spa chair. Michelle is greatttt with pedi and gel mani!!!

Been going here for years now and I only let Kim touch my eyebrows. There is usually not wait but in weekends it can get crowded and be an ugly wait these days because she does lashes. I’m usually down to wait though since I’m either hitting this place right after work or on a half day and don’t mind the wait since traffic can be ugly in the area. Parking can be hard to find so maybe if you’re local get dropped off. I’ve never seen anyone get towed before though I however would caution against ignoring those signs. I’ve gotten my nails done a few times in the past and loved them but it’s been so long since I’ve treated myself to a mani-​pedi think I’m about due for some tlc.
Summers it can get hit and the fans only do so much. Not a fancy place for those who live the posh life. Def a great price and service in my opinion for anyone down to be around people living their life and willing to talk with you.

Cool backup plan if you have nowhere else to go. Michelle does amazing pedi. They go by appt but u wud never know. Its a lil disorganized. Got my pointy nails done too. They were horrible… Some older guy nail tech… When it is crowded they do rush service. I will give them another try on a not so busy day

Came here for the first time because of reviews and because my regular place was closed. Not happy with results. Nails weren’t polished right and top coat not applied correctly. I think I will wait an extra day next time. The people are nice, but nice doesn’t cut it.

This is a great spot to get your nails done pretty cheap. It’s also a big plus that they’re open on Sunday. Definitely check them out

Out of all the nail salons I’ve been to, this is by far the best! The gel polish doesn’t crack. I’ve been to different places where I will notice the polish cracking within less than a week. They are friendly and do their job correctly. It’s CASH only, but it’s worth it and inexpensive.

Cool place I guess

This is one of my worst nail shop experiences when it comes to customer service. They are not only rude but they have an attitude with customers when asked questions about their services. The nail job is mediocre but I now prefer to go somewhere else where I get respect as a customer and a good nail job. Their nail shop is over hyped in my opinion their prices and nail jobs are not that good compared to many other nail shops I’ve been to in the LA area and other cities too. After this last experience I will give my business to other nail shops. They are more than happy to be rude to you and disrespect you to your face as if without their customers they would not be in business. I love helping out local businesses but they need to re evaluate their customer service techniques.

$ 37 for gel mani and reg pedi
Not bad at all. They are always really good no matter who I get. I recommend the twins for acrylics. When I do get them, they are always able to do my demand for thin square. They always take their time and I don’t feel like I’m getting rushed out.
Parking can be dreadful at times since all the shoppes claim parking spots. Other than that, this place rocks!

Gel manicure, pedi and eyebrow wax for $ 44. Pretty decent. As another reviewer said, if cleanliness is important to you, this is not the place for you. They also do not appear to carry name brand polishes, but when I requested my feet match my hand gel color, they busted out an Opi color from a deep dark hidden shelf. The gel colors are limited compared to most nail salons I’ve gone to. All services were decent overall, not the best/​worst. For a place that’s a few blocks from home and decently priced, I’ll likely get my nails done here again (depending upon longevity of color). Parking is free but extremely limited. Several women were in for lashes — for $ 15, I’ll probably give it a try next time.

Stopped in here for a quick birthday mani-pedi…I was looking for an inexpensive place to go and this place seemed like a good option. Don’t expect a fancy salon/​spa atmosphere here. Loud customers and even louder mariachi music from the mexican restaurant next door… don’t come here looking for too much relaxation lol. The walk-​in wait was pretty lengthy… about 30 – 40 min on a tuesday afternoon. Overall they did a good job for the price…$ 20 for a mani-​pedi AND they also offer eyelash extensions for $ 15 – 20. There were lots of women coming in for eyelashes and the woman doing them was doing a great job so I decided to try them out… definitely worth the price. I loved them and have received tons of compliments on my new lashes… i’ll be back here for them again in the future!

I LOVE this place! Everyone is super friendly and they do a great job. I heart Lynn (mani/​pedi pro), A & D (full set/​fills)! I’ve been going here for years! They actually take appointments. The prices are great. $ 15 bucks and up for full set, $ 20 and for mani/​pedi. I’ve been coming here for years for a reason. Thank me later

First of all they have this business listed twice and the address that says its on Crenshaw is incorrect!
I went in for a manicure/​pedicure before a trip to Vegas and this nail shop was the only one in my neighborhood that was open early enough. I believe that the guy who did my manicure (one of the twins) purposely didn’t add a base coat as he kept trying to push Gel nails on me but since I have been getting manicures since I was a teenager so 12 something years and I have only had gel three times in my life I know what should last on my hands. Since he didnt add a base coat I believe that is why my manicure chipped by the time I got to Las Vegas (4hours later)! Also when he was trimming my cuticles he put the trimmings on my hand! I wasn’t sure what he was trying to illustrate as he didn’t say anything. Just clipped at my skin and then put it on my hand as he worked on each finger and looked at me each time he put it on. I was in a rush and didn’t want to make a fuss so I didn’t say anything but I thought it was super strange as no one has ever done that before.
The pedicure I had was ok. the guy was really ruff and it seemed like he didn’t want to be there. Ok if you don’t like your job but I’m not telling you you have to do this. I still tipped well because that is just how I do. I don’t think I will ever come back here unless i’m in a crunch. It was only $ 20 for the mani/​pedi but my cuticles were so ripped up (4 days later!) i’m afraid going back might cause an infection!
Why can’t there be a nice place in LA (doesnt have to be fancy) that does a decent mani/​pedi without the hoopla or horrible service or extreme cost. I think paying more then $ 30 or even $ 30 for a simple mani/​pedi is too much! Any suggestions please let me know.

My only reason for trying this salon: They are one of the few salons that was open on Sunday that could accommodate a walk-​in. My nails were in bad shape, so I came in for basic mani-​pedi service. The wait time ended up being over an hour and another hour to get my mani-​pedi done. I was at the salon around 2.5 hours total.
(Note: I asked the owner if making an appointment would help me get serviced right away and he said not on the weekends.)
The salon itself is pretty raw (aka ghetto) and if you’re particular about sanitation, cleanliness, and etc., go somewhere else. This place is far from those things. But their prices are dirt cheap: Mani-​Pedi combo: $ 20. Gel Nails: $ 25 (I think?) Full Acrylic Set: $ 15 or $ 18. Eyebrow: $ 7 Eyelashes (Extensions): $ 20+ Lastly, they don’t have OPI, Essie, Orly, and other well known/​high quality salon brands. Judging by how my polish already chipped off from my toes after one day, I’m guessing their polishes are poor quality (generic no name brand of polishes).
I noticed there’s another Unilocal review posting for this same salon but that review post has incorrect address and business hours. On LA Nail Salon is located on the corner of Washington+Crenshaw, in a small shopping center.

This place is awesome! I’ve been going to this nail shop for 8 years now! It was close to my high school so I use to catch the bus after school when I was younger and fell in love! They do the best acrylics by far! Check it out! Everyone is super friendly!
