Paris Nails

All I can say is grace was a true authentic Biatch today. But I don’t have to worry because that business will not be there much longer You don’t treat customers like she did me today I’m sure she was upset about other things after reading other reviews why do you wait that frigging long for service there’s thousands of salons in Los Angeles that will treat u better with service

Whenever I’m near downtown LA I make it my business to come and get my pedicure here. They take their time and you certainly won’t feel rushed. Granted you will have to wait your turn, so there may be a wait. If you can come mid day or evening during the week. I have had countless pedicures by many different types of salons from expensive spas to Walmart salons. This one is by far the best. Don’t let the appearance fool you, this is no ordinary strip mall nail shop.

Too expensive for a terrible location. I normally spend $ 25 for a mani pedi in Santa Monica at Main Attaction and they are great and the place is clean and they have tons of nail polish options. They have OPI, they have Essie. Here they had no options and when it came down to painting my toenails the lady didn’t yet even want to use a base coat. I spent $ 35 at Paris. Simply not worth it. The ladies were Nice and friendly but it’s just not enough. They offered me a free callus removal which I thought was nice but I don’t like to spend $ 10 extra for something that I didn’t need to begin with. And on top of it the lady wanted me to pay two extra dollars for the flip-​flops that you normally get anywhere else for free.

Okay so I have almost re applied all my nails at this point ! — they keep lifting of falling off ! Thankful for superglue. :(
I got them done on Friday, less than a week ago !

Do you know when you go to a nail shop and the people working there tell you «hi what you wanna get today?» Or anything with a welcome greeting. Well these people didn’t even tell me or my sister hi. We were sitting there for 10 mins before any one asking us for anything. Smh as I went to pick out colors another 10 mins past. Didn’t have many colors & as I went to sit back down I ask the Guy in the front «how long is it gonna take «? He said «when some one is done «. I looked at him like TF .“I didn’t ask you that. I ask how long is it gonna be !!! «I could have went crazy on him. But I just put the nail polish down. & left With my sister. Like #1 that’s rude. I don’t care if you own the place be nice to your customers. Really rude and waited too long for some bs & a negative remark. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS NASTY EXPENSIVE PLACE !!! Never!

I’ve been going to this Nail shop for over 12 years now so it really saddens me to write this. I swore by this nail shop and these ladies Michelle, Grace, Holly and Mindy! Once you get to know them personally they are generally really sweet. Well I went there last week on my day off for my regular mani, pedi, and eyebrows FOR THE LAST TIME. I prefer Mindy for my pedi but I’ll take any of these ladies for my pedi if Mindy is busy, and Grace or Michelle for my mani and any of them can do my eyebrows. I get really bad ingrown toenails and I NEED them to be properly taken care of every two weeks so I can’t and don’t just go to anybody. On this day I arrived at 11:15.
Side note: Don’t ever get there when they are «supposed» to open at 10. There is a parking lot line that starts at 9 and they don’t generally get there until 10:45ish. And the person who usually opens the door is the low man on the totem pole so you still have to wait until they get there.
The good and bad thing about them is the take their time so there could be a room full of people but they equally give everyone time and attention. Sometimes too much. When you’re in demand, you gotta all be there on time and multitask and (not rush) but use better time management because there is a room full of 15 other people, most waiting to get a mani, pedi, and eyebrows… They don’t take appointments and they don’t stop someone to do your eyebrows real quick. You have to wait at least an hour or 2 to even sit in the chair and when you do get there you need another 2 hours before you’re gone. So you just have to pray you get there at the perfect time which is never.
I get there on 8÷27÷15 (MY ONLY DAY OFF) at 11:15. Mindy is busy and there is another girl waiting for her. I can’t afford to spend my only off day in the nail shop all day. So I figured when Grace or Holly were done I was next since the only other girl there was waiting for Mindy… 4 new clients come in the shop and when Grace finishes she asks one of the new ladies what they need. I immediately asked her why wasn’t I next and why couldn’t she do me since I’d been waiting the longest and it was now 1:30pm. She immediately got defensive and said «well you requested Mindy and since u want her I won’t do you anymore.» I tried to clear it up saying I’ve never said Mindy is the only one who I want. I just requested her a certain day because she was the next available and when people come in to wait they start letting you know exactly who they are waiting for. Plus Mindy was STILL working on this older lady and STILL had another girl waiting who had been there before I was. So I couldn’t wait. Needless to say she would not take me. I tried to let her know maybe it was a misunderstanding (especially because of the language and cultural differences) but to no avail. Kevin stepped in and asked who I usually went to and I told him I will go to Grace, Mindy, or Holly… He said don’t worry the next one will be with you. So Michelle took me and gave my a manicure. Then I had to go wait again. By this time it was 2:15. Then Holly finished her client and started new water that i JUST knew was for me. She too looked past me to the next lady and told her to come pick her color. This is when I just went to the register and asked to pay for my manicure. They were all shocked and immediately started talking about me in their language. Mindy had just taken this other lady and she looks up at me and said «you’re not gonna wait for me» I said «No Mindy I’m not… I’ve been here since 11:15 and it’s now 2:30 and all I’ve had is a manicure. As Michelle was taking my money for my manicure I tried to re explain to her that I don’t have to go to just Mindy. And I can’t wait hours to get my nails done over a misunderstanding. I need to get out of there. She said well we’re sisters and we don’t step on each other’s toes. She could see that she was losing me as a client and didn’t care. I ALWAYS tip who ever does my pedicure $ 10 and my mani and brows $ 5 so I’m not you’re typical $ 2 tipper. I’ve come to ONLY them for over 12 years bringing my dad, sisters, and a host of friends.
Let me say this, their work is impeccable, but it’s not worth mistreatment or disrespect. As a consumer I can spend my money wherever i choose. It saddens me to know that they let my business of $ 60 every two weeks for years go because the refused to take me and make me wait for Mindy. It’s like they were punishing me and not respecting my business and the fact that I can go anywhere. They know I depend on them for my ingrown toenails and eyebrows. But no amount of talent is worth disrespect. I will never again give them my business I will search high and low and I know God will send me someone just as talented who will respect my time and money… And hopefully take appointments. I too work in the beauty industry as a hair stylist so I understand clients but I also understand good business… And these sisters aren’t about good business!

Long wait times with the inability to speak to them, the one guy who did a great job then did the worst job! The paint didn’t go to the edge of the nail I hate that when I could do a better job but I pay these yahoos to do it and they can’t even paint a nail correctly.
It’s small and crowed, clustered and cramped
I don’t go here any more it’s just too cramped I’ll go somewhere where I can breath and be able to explain what I want… Then get it

When I first pulled into the tiny parking lot that Paris Nails shares with a few other businesses, I quickly found out that I wouldn’t be able to park there seeing as how not one spot was open! Luckily I live around the area so I knew there was a huge parking lot around the back of the building =) When my friend and myself walked in I loved the small cozy feel! I’ve never seen a nail shop with wooden floors! Every employee was working on a customer so we took a seat. Just an FYI this place is super SMALL! One of the ladies said Hi to us and asked what we wanted to have done, which is ALWAYS a major plus in my book! To be greeted as soon as you walk in is alway a nice feeling. We got to Paris Nails at 11:30am and weren’t seen until 1:00pm. The staff definitely take their time when working on each person which i’ve NEVER seen before! Usually at nail shops when multiple customers start walking in, the staff start to rush to finish, and start on the next person. I hate that feeling, like you’re no longer important enough to have the time spent on you that you’re paying for. Anyways. when I sat down in one of the six spa chairs I was greeted with warm «Hellos» and the lady working on me even helped situate my purse and coffee! LOVED! Her name is HALE. She took her time even though the salon was starting to get crowded! LOVED! I got a mani/​pedi and loved how she did exactly what I showed her (a picture in my phone of really short rounded nails). Hale said «Whatever You Want I’ll Do». Talk about amazing customer service! Finally! The only issue that I has was the polish on my fingers was a tad bit sloppy which I’m extremely particular about, She left a tiny bubble on my pinky nail, and I had to ask her to clean the skin around my nails to get rid of the excess polish in which she did without any issues. I was a little surprised that the spa pedi/​mani was $ 35 bucks, I thought it was gonna be more like $ 26 or something lol! But I can’t complain because she took her time and made me feel welcomed! We also talked a bit about her and her 4 sisters who all own the nail shop for the last 17 years I believe. They don’t take credit cards, only cash and debit =) Oh and the callus remover was free even though it said $ 5 on the sign fyi! I will be a returning customer! If you don’t like a long wait this place isn’t for you =)

I’m a new LA resident & have been looking for a good nail shop — I think I’ve found my new spot! Great prices, quality work & wonderful staff. Felt like home… I’ll be back!

I’ve been looking for a clean nail salon to get my mani and pedi. I love Paris nails. Michelle does great design, I’m always happy with my nails. They look good and last a long time. The staff at Paris nails take there time on every client. They do not accept appoints, its a walk-​in only salon. If they except appointments I would be there every two weeks. They are always crowded, so make sure you have time!

Love this place. Eyebrow lady is awesome! And the guy who did my nails hooked me up with two nail repairs n a fill for only 20 $! He even shaped them.

I have been going to this nail shop since I was a teenager. I have yet to find another that makes me feel as comfortable and welcomed as this one. It is owned by four sisters who ALL do amazing work! They take their time with each client, making sure to cater to every need and want. Their
prices are reasonable and worth every dollar! From cleaning to shaping to polishing to the final design… You will have NO complaints about Paris Nail. If you do manage to find an issue with them PLEASE feel free to stop going so U cut down my wait time… Thank You! –aLoyalCustomer–

I love this place. I mean truly, truly love this place. I love this place so much that even though I curse under my breath because the wait is over 2 hours, I sit right on down and actually wait!
I’ve been coming to Paris nails for over a decade (I am loyal, thank you very much!). Why? Because they do such an amazing job. You will undoubtedly walk out of there with at least two more pretty points than you walk in with! Even if you don’t need the pretty points, go anyway! You will be highly impressed with your perfectly arched eyebrows, your impeccable manicure, and your cutely designed toes.
Mindy, Kim, and the rest of the ladies (and gentleman) are fantastic and personable. You’ll eventually start thinking of them as extended family.
Bring a book or your music and make sure your phone is fully charged because you will be waiting, but believe me, it’s worth it!

I recently moved into the area and was looking for a nail salon!
1^st visit– looked at the reviews and knew I would have to wait! Didn’t think it would be an hr. Then the girl gel painted my skin at the cuticle. I thought «maybe it was just this particular girl, I should give em a second try»
2^nd visit-​l went back a week later to change the chop shop of a color she gave me. After 2 days my white gel polish started chipping, air bubbles were popping out from under the polish and the rest of the polish was simply cracking
I went back after the 3 days to show the manager the disaster called my nails and she dismissively told me to sit down, wait and they would fix only the ones chipping. Mind you, its a busy Saturday and the wait is 30mins… I have things to do and only came to inform her of the poor condition my nails were in!
I asked if I could come back… I cant wait around. She insisted no! I thanked her for her
excellent customer service and walked out! Wrong and strong is not a good look! I will never return and would not recommend!
*In addition, the parking is bad.
*The employees try to deceive you with the convenient timing of a language barrier (Its hilarious… Ive seen it happen at least 3x on both my visits)
*They dont properly wash out the foot bath tub. I had to to tell my girl to get a cloth and scrub my tub. Spraying it alone doesnt wash away the previous persons oils etc… Yuck!

They do a good job. I call ahead and never wait, they have good magazines and give you water. Very nice place. Kind of fun atmosphere.

What can I say… I’ve been coming here for years and this place is great! They don’t take appointments but hey, they work like a well oiled machine. If you know the routine you will get your nails done and you will love them. I won’t say what that «routine» is because it could possibly jeopardize MY seat on any
. If you don’t know, you better ask somebody… (just not me) lol. It’s like going to your favorite cleaners that does a fabulous job on your «very nice» things as opposed to just taking ordinary clothes to the average cleaners. Paris Nails is that «good cleaners» so to speak. I go there when I want thee best job, not average.

The customer service was horrible, I was help by Michelle, this lady seen to be miserable and upset that she had to deal with the public. I don’t recommend it. It was also dirty

Be prepared to wait… and wait… and wait.
But by far, they do the best nails, pedicure and brow jobs EVER in Los Angeles. Def worth the wait, if you are not in a rush.

I would not leave my nail shop for nothing in the world! They make sure the clean very good, designs by Michelle are one of a kind, and if you’re in a rush, then you’ve gotta be patient and wait!

BEST DAMN NAIL SHOP I EVER BEEN TO MINDY IS MY GIRL. The only negative about this place is the wait but trust me its worth it. The work is quality and they are very clean. Michelle does some freestyle designs that are the best. I’ve been to other nail shops but I always end up back here.
Also parking is horrible if u get lucky u can park in the lot in the front but if not u have to walk down the street to the back. If your a regular here you know the deal if not give it a try.
Oh and if u think u can just walk in and get your eyebrows done… ummm no u have to wait ur turn… NO CUTTING IN THIS PLACE EVERYBODY WAITING KEEPS AN EYE ON EVERYBODY… LOL
