Linda’s Threading & Nails

I love my Vietnamese ran nail salons. I’ve gotten my nails done at frufru Korean places and the quality is subpar and overpriced imho. 4 stars is cleanliness, prices, and quality in my book. Mind you, this place is no frills or thrills. It’s down and dirty let’s get your nails done.

I used to always go here to get my brows threaded, but since I moved to Northern California for school, I haven’t visited in a while. I love Linda, she’s very hospitable! I am not very trusting when it comes to my eyebrows because I have had so many bad experiences at other salons. With that, I can honestly say that I trust Linda 100% to not mess up

Place looks OK from the inside not too ugly for the workers faces are kind of serious and not friendly so they said they’ll take me in about a half hour but I just went next door

Loved the service and they were very attentive while doing my mani/​pedi.
The price was also reasonable compared to nail salons around the area.
Will definitely go back

Would definitely return, plenty of parking available, covered too if you park in the nearby structure.
There were a lot of people in the shop, but when we walked in, there was no wait.
Good enough selection of nail colors, didn’t even look at the gel options but I saw there were plenty.
Got seated right away, the entire visit was probably less than 30 minutes which was amazing to me.
There were at least three nail salons in this plaza, but I’m sure I’d come back here before venturing anywhere else.
Biggest plus was that their tools are autoclaved, meaning they’re hygienic which is very important to me!

I come here to get my nails done every 3 weeks. This nail place is decent. Price is moderate and they do a pretty good job.

December 30^th I went to Linda’s threading & nails, waited like 40 min. For a fill and suddenly this lady comes in went to sit down and asked for a pedicure and fill and when the next available worker finished, I was the only person waiting for a long time, this lady that came in was having her pedicure and Van the worker that was supposed to attend me, he told me that Linda was gonna do it, she was like half ways doing a full set. Very unfair, I was very upset because is on a first come first served, they never told me if that lady had an appointment or so, I walked out of there very mad. Maybe if I give them a $ 100.00 tip maybe they’ll treat me better. I’m very disappointed with them. I found a better place where you are treated right.

Its super cheap and great service. I ALWAYS DO MY NAILS HERE and always leave happy. Also Pedicure is awesome. People there are so nice and friendly. I will definitely miss them when I move from Monterey Park!

HORRIBLE. Stay away from this place! Here’s my story on this place: So I needed my nails done– French and acrylic. Came in hoping that the four stars was legit since other places in the area seemed busy at the time when I called around. It was truly a mistake. They did one of the worst jobs ever. Not even 24 hours and my nails were lifting.
Not only that but here’s something funny, I’m actually Vietnamese but they probably didn’t know it. This lady is working on my nails and a worker comes by to «observe» and starts talking sh*t. «Why would someone make the shape like that, the French looks ugly when it’s closer to cuticle,» and the tech working on my nails said «The client requested it to be like that.» in Vietnamese. Um excuse me, but RUDE. (fyi, I love stiletto/​squaval French) She proceeds to murderously file my pinky, making me bleed and let out a small but silent scream due to the pain. She tells me to «shhh» because she didn’t want the other workers to hear/​know/​or see what happened.
I hear my nail technician asking the lady at the front how much she should charge me, she says 30 dollars in Vietnamese. At the end she charges me 31 without saying anything hoping I wouldn’t notice. (Which I’m sure is because I paid in card, still, you’re suppose to tell the clients!) I gave her $ 4 Tip so it came
out to be $ 35 dollars.
Conclusion; Unless you want to go to a nail salon that has:
— A ton of annoying non English speaking workers (probably talking about you)
— Careless technician who cuts you and makes you hold the pain
— Shady pricing
— Horrible ambiance
— And worst of all: immediate LIFTING of the nails within a day
+Having to make a trip back to get it fixed.
Go for this place, but don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

My friends and I were around the area and was looking for to get a mani/​pedi. I found this on Unilocal and gave them a call to see if they could take 5 girls. The lady on the phone (who I assume to be Linda) said they were not busy. When I got there, it was definitely BUSY. All of the chairs were filled except for 1.
Due to how busy it was, the ladies that worked on my nails were rushing and did not do a good job at all. It was TERRIBLE. My nail polish on my toes would not dry even after 2 hours! The lady messed up on it and kept putting more and more nail polish on it. That is not how it’s done…
After I left, I noticed that bits and pieces of my cuticles were still there! The skin close to the cuticles turned red and were hurting.
It was also annoying that they keep asking if I wanted a gel manicure instead. I already said NO! I would not recommend this place especially if they are busy.

Unilocalers helped me locate a spot for an eyebrow emergency. Come to Linda for eyebrow threading because you don’t need to hold on to your eyebrow when she is threading. So if you are as lazy as I am come through here. But don’t expect every nail technician to greet you at the door with a smile, both my friends and my cousin said they didn’t look too happy as you walk in. To me I don’t seem to mine I just want to go in get my eyebrows done and my nails did and get out of there. No spa pedicure that’s a bummer for me. As you are seated they hand you a small bottle of water either you are doing your eyebrow threading or getting a mani/​pedi. I have to make a note they only accepts DEBIT card and CASH.

I didn’t get the girl’s name of who did my nails. She was the youngest one there, maybe in her early 20s. She did my gel mani in solid white. She was fast but great work. I’m extremely happy with the mani. Went and got a regular pedi, brought my own polish. A different lady did my toes. She was just as great. They give you a complimentary water bottle. So nice. I’m a sucker for bath and body works scents so major kudos to them for having BBW lotions. $ 32 for gel mani and regular pedi. Someone else’s review is what sold me on this place and I just want to reinforce that they are great! Definitely my new nail salon. $ 40 with tip well spent.

This place is super close to my friend’s house so we decided to do a girl’s day and came here. When you walk in, you will see many nail colors that contain a certain number — and you just tell the person what number. When we were there, there wasn’t much of a wait so don’t worry about calling in for appointments.
The girl who did my nails was really good. Since this was my first time getting a manicure (I’m a bit of a tomboy hehe), I was really worried after hearing stories from my other friends about getting their skin nicked and bleeding from getting their cuticles worked on. However, the girl who did my nails was very gentle and thorough, so that’s a plus! After my nails were dried, she lathered some lotion on my hands and gave me a nice little massage. Be sure to tip well.
Normal gel manicure costs $ 20, but designs will cost you a bit more. I opted for a nude-​pink color since it’s more appropriate for work and clinicals. I was very pleased with how my nails came out. The gel manicure was great and worth my money since I got my nails done 2 weeks ago and they’re still good! No chipping!
Besides getting manicures, we also got our eyebrows threaded. It’s $ 8 and the woman was pretty good. Customer service is decent, despite the fact that there may be a bit of a communication barrier. Parking is super easy. Will definitely come here again! =)

First time I came here the young lady who works here cut my skin and didn’t even acknowledge it until I was bleeding. I figure no biggie she might had a off day. Mani and pedi was ok. Today, I went back in because I got lazy didn’t want to drive to my usual place Pretty Nail Studio in El Monte. Same young lady did my mani cut my pinky finger both sides while she was filing my nail she dug the filer into both sizes again! R u effin kidding me! She again didn’t even apologize for it. She shouldn’t of been in such a rush when no one else was even there. She needs to spend more time taking care of her customers instead of talking. I’m never coming back here. Lesson learned! She did an ok on painting my gel nails but again not worth getting my finger cut for. Worst experience ever.
1star because my pedicure was nice and was done by a diff lady who took her time. And location is close to home.

After a tragic experience a Lee’s Nails (right before my vacation) Mimi saved me. Literally the best french gel manicure I’ve ever had! Thanks Mimi!!! Needless to say I will be coming back!

My first impression of this salon was that it’s a lovely setting inside, Light and airy and with pleasant distractions on the tv (Talk shows not depressing news reports). They have a nice color selection of new nail polishes, not old and clumpy ones.
I got a mani-​pedi. During the manicure process, the woman hardly lotioned my hands. In fact, she really only put lotion on my forearms… And got a little on my wrists. Lol. There was no massaging of any kind. She simply rubbed it into my arms and moved on. So my hands felt chapped and dry the whole time. Then the manicure itself went fine without any issue.
During this time, the pedicure woman scrubbed my feet (well really just my heels… lol, missing all other calloused areas…) And then started getting very aggressive with the clippers — ended up digging the clipper too deep into the side of my big toe… Causing it to gush blood all over the towel. I of course grimaced at the pain and asked her if she had any first aid kit for it. She panicked at the oozing blood and started squirting cuticle oil into the wound which stung like crazy. I told her to stop and get first aid. She didn’t understand and kept squirting it. I had to physically stop her. That’s the worst stuff for a wound. They didn’t have first aid or know first aid… That is a BIG flaw here… Wounds happen all the time, I get that. But any good salon knows basic first aid to handle it. No one here did.
I asked for peroxide and a guy came over with some and sprayed it on it. It wouldn’t stop bleeding. It was too deep. The guy then got some «stop blood» and that didn’t work either. So I told her to give me some cotton swab and I’ll hold it on the toe while she paints the other toes. She seemed uneasy about painting my toes out of order… Lol. She HAD to do big toes first… Bizarre. So she took the swab off, toe was still bleeding, and she started to paint anyway much to my dismay. Polish mixed in with the blood and she dipped the brush back in the bottle! With my blood on it! Now that’s a contaminated polish bottle… Be careful which you use… I dont remember the color name. Was a dark red.
Then she moved onto the other toes, big toe still bleeding. I warned her she’s gonna need to redo it. She said it’d be fine. Sure enough by the end, the polish and blood had oozed off the toe and needed repainting. So she starts pouring acetone in the wound to get the polish off. Lol. Ouch!!! Digging her brush in it, it started bleeding again and she finally got some crazy glue to seal the wound. But not with polish in it first! So I had to grit my teeth while she dug her mess out. Then she repainted… And now it looks as bad as it sounds… Hurray for a nice relaxing mani-​pedi. :)
Then the worst part is, I went to pay and they not only didn’t discount my pedicure for the ordeal but they charged me $ 23 when the sign says $ 22! AND I still wanted to tip the manicure lady a little so I handed over $ 2 and they got pissy that my tip was low! After everything I just went through! Never going back…

First time coming here. I went in to get a gel manicure, which came out pretty nice so I give them that, but their customer service was terrible. I walked in, no greeting, just barked a question at me. They sat me with a lady that looked like she hated life, never spoke one word to me, just made grunting noises when she wanted me to move my hands. Overall very mediocre I don’t understand the 5 star ratings.

This nail place is decent. I like that the nail tech kept my gel mani thin and not thick/​fake looking, but what I disliked was that the nail tech took off my gel mani with the machine instead of purely soaking them. I know it is time consuming, but taking it off with the machine is harsh to the nail and hurt a bit.
The nail tech was friendly and the staff I met was as well. The owners were nice enough to let me come in right at closing and still did my manicure. The price is very moderate, not too pricy. $ 28 to take off gel plus gel mani! Very good, but no taking off my gel with the machine please. If I come here again, I will just request them purely soaked.

I got a mani pedi for $ 23.
They are quick and do good work.
The only thing is that they don’t really engage in conversation or aren’t as personable but still professional.
I think I will try the threading next time. upper lip $ 5.

This place rocks for mani and pedi they don’t have the fancy massage chairs but they are quick. Nancy did my nails and she did a great job I got gel nails French tip with a hit of glitter I wasn’t even planning it but since she did a fab job on my toes I let her work her magic. They have reasonable prices and great customer service. They offered us small water bottles which I thought was nice.
My mom got threading by Linda, it seemed very relaxing and looked like she did a great job.
It’s cash or debit so come prepared.
