Pink Nails

Yesterday 6÷2÷16 was my first time going to Pink Nail by Sarah. The products she uses are great! She also took her time doing my nails and they turned out great! The place was very clean and her service was spectacular. All of her attention was on me since she does appointment only and I love that. I also followed her on Instagram to get more ideas for my next appointment!

Great service ! I had the lady with the avocado toast t shirt and she was so friendly ! Made for a wonderful afternoon! I’ll be back !

This is the best nail salon by far! The prices are fair and the staff is extremely professional! Linh is amazing! I require a specific shape for my nails that only she can craft & every single time she’s never let me down! She also makes sacrifices for her clients. I remember one time texting her at 8am for an emergency appointment and she hurried to the nail salon just to open early for me! She’s also extremely efficient! I mean who wants to spend 3 hours in a nail salon! This will not happen at Pink Nails no matter what you are getting done!
The only complaint I have is parking, of course on 3^rd street it can be crazy but behind 3^rd there is a lot of parking in the residential area. Also make sure you bring cash because they charge an additional $ 1 for credit/​debit cards! Treat your nail artist well and they will treat you even better!
Cheers

Pink nails is a great shop. I have been going there for more than 20 years. The prices are great and the store is exceptionally clean. I love Linh who does my acrylics and the rest are great too for manicures and pedicures.

Pink Nails is a wonderful place to get a manicure and pedicure. The fills are also very good. Lynn has been doing my fill for years!!! Always very professional and on time. I can get a fill and pedicure at the same time and be out in a hour. Paul does my pedicure and is fabulous!

Okay, wtf is this place. I go in for a new set of acrylic nails & they take me right away. Great. I need to get my old acrylics removed first & the guy literally tries to PULL THEM OFF?!! LIKE!!! I said ouch (he ripped my pinky nail) & I had to grab my hand away to stop the bizarre process. I then had to ask for the acetone soak that literally every other nail salon in the history of ever uses to remove acrylics safely. Definitely irritated but not wanting to be rude, I decide to stay until he starts using tools out of a box that clearly says «SOILED» in all yellow caps. I was like «um are these clean???» and he didn’t even acknowledge my question. I took one look at the dirty tools & got up and left. Maybe this place fine for regular manicures, who knows — but there is no way am I ever going back here.

My girlfriend and I accidentally found this place and couldn’t be happier! Great prices, friendly staff and amazing job! Lynn did a great job with the acrylics for my friend. She made them look absolutely natural!!! Good job, Lynn! So quick, yet very detailed work! Definitely coming here again!

I walked into pinks mistakenly thinking it was another salon on 3^rd. Due to a tight schedule I decided to stay but I definitely regret that decision! The nail tech had a really hard time understanding the shape that I wanted. He didn’t do base coat, rushed on the polish coats and my nails have bubbles. He was pretty rough with the buffing and filing. He was nice enough but with so many salons in the neighborhood I’d definitely recommend going somewhere else.

Nice massage chairs while getting a pedi. Since I didn’t want polish (it was winter after all), she gave me an extra long massage! Not bad, but not my favorite spot.

I really hate to write this review because the ladies were super sweet. However, for 30 bucks my nails look horrible. I had a complicated request, I wanted to get a refill over the colored powdered acrlic, they seemed confident that it wouldn’t be too difficult to complete. Now I get my nails done very often so my pain tolerance is pretty high. But this lady was filing down my nails and it was so painful. It was like she was focusing on the same spot to a point it felt warm like she was burning through my nail. Though I was uncomfortable it wasn’t A big deal. However the fact that she spent forever filling and my acrlic looked lumpy and uneven was unacceptable. The paint job is my biggest issue, though a finger got messed up while drying, even after attempting to fix it, it still looked crapy. Overall my nails were not worth the money spent.

By far the worst nails I’ve had done in LA. I went here because my normal salon doesn’t do acrylic. The whole process was very rushed and the filing job was terrible! I my nails weren’t even at all on the sides and underneath. Then the paint job was also rushed and awful. I sat under the light for 30 minutes and it was so thick and sticky even after! They got messed up a few hours later!
Then the pedicure… a lady, frail and old as dirt, hobbling around did the most surface pedicure and my toes didn’t even feel clean after.
The acrylic was $ 30 and then they neglect to tell you that it’s $ 5 extra for a manicure. The «manicure» was a quick soak in water and clipping at my cuticles.
So unhappy that a week later I went back to my normal salon to get them re-​done.
There are plenty of nail salons Id rather give my business too.

I randomly went here to get my nails done because I was in the area (and sometimes these little hole in the wall nail shops end up being really good and I expensive). When I walked in, I told them I needed to leave at a certain time and they told me the wait was 5 minutes (which it really was, a lot of times they say the wait is shorter so they don’t loose a customer), so I appreciate them not lying about that and finishing my mani and pedi in time to make my next appointment, however… My nails started to chip the next day, and by day 3 I had to completely remove the polish off my nails. The girl doing my nails told me that it would last at least a week, but they barely lasted two days. Other than that, the mani pedi was mediocre and I wasn’t really impressed with their work. Prices were reasonable.

I’m writing this review strictly based on my manicurist, Lynn. She is the only nail artist I go to in this establishment. Although her mom and her other relative (I think) have worked on my toes as well. Lynn is extremely nice and will do your nails precisely how you want them to be done. She will not let you leave her shop if you have a concern or look dissatisfied with your nails.

I was looking for a salon that was reasonable but did an amazing job. I went to Pink Nails and left very very pleased. I have silk wrap nails and Holly did an amazing job of making them look very natural. I was out within an hour and my nails dried very quickly. I am very picky and it drives me crazy if my nails aren’t perfect, but I left feeling very satisfied with how they came out! I am hooked on this salon and silk wraps!

I love this salon, everyone is so nice, and they do amazing nail design. Gel, regular, silk you name it they can do it. They also have very nice waxing and quick massages!!! you will be addicted, I went once and have been going now for 4 years!

Terrible.
I had gel nails done at VIP Nails in Woodland Hills for the first time two weeks ago so I am a novice. Went to Pink Nails to have mine removed and new set applied.
Not sure if the entire salon is like this but a man did my nails and he was terrible. Here is why:
1. Wanted me to soak my entire hand in a bowl of acetone. I don’t know about you but I dont’ want to have acetone seeping into my skin and body so I had to ask for them to apply the acetone with the cotton balls /​tin foil.
2. Used the roughest possible nail file on my nails so he basicall shortened them as much as if he just cut them. It’s also bad for nails to use such a rough file. He also filed the skin on the top of my finger and a few times I pulled away but he just kept going.
3. Said «manicure» was included but all he really did was push back my cuticles and that is it. No massage (woman next to me got a hand massage while getting gels) no cutting of hangnails, etc.
4. I wanted red nails and when I looked closely at the paint job it was a mess. Missed spots on the sides of the nail. The color bled onto my cuticle on some nails and on another nails there was a gap. Just a mess. I had to put regular nailpolish over my gels just for it to look normal.
5. A week later gels are chipping and coming off.
Now that I am writing this review and reading how many other people have had a terrible experience there, I dont’ know how this place is still in business.
Terrible.

I was looking them up for the phone number (talk about too lazy to check my Address Book!) when I saw all the negative reviews and thought I’d add my positive one. I once sent someone there and she came back having had a terrible experience.
However, I’ve been going there for YEARS and have always had a terrific experience. They often fit me in, last minute without some big fuss.
The price is right for those on a budget — yeah, the décor isn’t what you’d expect at the Peninsula but really, isn’t that a matter of taste. and sometimes… budget?!
As for their saying nasty things about clients in Vietnamese, puh-leeze…that’s straight outta a famous SEINFELD episode! Which may mean that in fact, it’s true but again, they’ve always been nice enough to my face. If they’re saying something rude about me behind my back, hey, I’ll let ‘em account for that to their Higher Power, come their Time. There are a few behaviors that COULD be a little offputting to some but I BELIEVE they may be strictly cultural behavior differences, too, such as a close sense of personal space; at times when they’re speaking to you, they do not look you straight in the eye… sometimes. I totally cold be wrong about this but in some cultures, I believe that so doing is a sign of disrespect. That kinda thing.
I’ve had excellent pedi’s there. Been a client for YEARS. Sandy is my go-​to. She’s one of several older women there, but she’s always done a fine job for me. And she does a lovely foot massage I always look forward to.
They are really clean — I’ve never ever gotten a fungus or infection. Cleanliness is a really big one for me. Parking is fairly limited, so I suppose if I have to complain, I could throw THAT in there… Teensy lot for too many businesses. Read the surrounding street signs carefully. It’s WeHo… the parking enforcement sharks are always out for blood in that ‘hood.
I dunno, I think they’re terrific. And for what it’s worth, they do have a longtime loyal clientele. I see many of the same people there over and over. If the place has gone downhill, I haven’t experienced it. Not yet, anyway.

I don’t know what to say. I had a lady who was as old as dirt do my nails. I was scared. But, she did an okay job. It bothered me that she used her finger to scrape off the nail polish she got on my fingers, but, like I said… I was scared.
The manicure lasted 2 weeks though so I’m going to just say, it was ok. I wouldn’t rave about this place, but they did their job and it was pretty cheap and I didn’t get nail fungus. The décor feels like I’m in a bad 80s movie with blue neon light signs inside and weird lacquer furniture and stuff.

Pink Nails is the best! If you can’t stand the heat, get out the COT DAYUM kitchen!
Or go pay double the price somewhere else ;)
Hally, Lynne, Jenny… they are all the best!

Another nail salon along 3^rd ave that just doesn’t cut it.
I’ve been here many moons ago and I stopped coming for a reason. I don’t know what possessed me to return for another go. Right after I sat down, I remembered why.
I plopped my feet into the tub, only to Unilocal (not in the good «write a review» way, but rather in the bad «dog getting stepped on» way. The water was scalding. The older lady (who just needs to retire already) began on my feet and immediately I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty. She half-​assed the removal of my old polish, and left residue from my last red polish. Then she cut the nails, but didn’t really file. So I was left with jagged nails. I actually asked her if she could please file it a little more, but it didn’t help. She poked and prodded and for the first time EVER, I actually felt pain. It was god-​awful and it took For-​Eh-​Verrr (Sandlot style). There were several younger girls lounging around doing nothing and I pleaded silently with my eyes that someone would see what was happening to me and come to my rescue.
The lady working on my hands gets 2 stars. Her name was either Lila or Lily. She did a pretty good job on my mani. Clean, even paint and also a little friendly conversation.
Alas, even with Lila/​y I won’t EVER be returning.
