    I've been a consistent client with Carmen, aka @818nails, since early 2017, and ever since then I've never gone to another nail tech, so I've moved my salons wherever she went! I drive 30 minutes and I always look forward to my appointments every two weeks! As stated in other reviews, she makes you feel right at home, never rushes the service, and always makes your wishes come true with her magic touch! My nails last me 3 1/2 weeks without chipping or breakage, and if there is any breakage its my fault, because I'm a waitress, and I work with my hands a lot! Let me tell you, you will never stop getting compliments on your nails. Place is located in the Friar Professional Building, on the bottom floor. There is a parking lot next to the building, but depending on certain times, the lot may be full, but they have coin slot machines for parking on the street, limit is 2 hours, and there are always spots! So support my nail lady for life; a $20 deposit is required for new clients, and you will never want to go anywhere else.

    I loved her!! It was my first time getting my nails done with Carmen and she was beyond welcoming. She made me feel like I've known her and her nail techniques are amazing. She is indeed very talented and acrylic nails last longer than other places. I definitely recommend her.

    I've been going with Carmen for over 5 years now. I've always struggled to find a nail tech to do nice work with my short wide nails! They all leave my nails looking bulky and wider than they are except carmen! Carmen just makes my nails looks soo pretty! She does amazing sculpting the nail and takes her time. If you want beautiful good quality nails and trendy then you need to come to 818 Nails!

    Carmen is talented at her craft. The amount of detail she paid to my nails is satisfying. She didn't hurt or cut my cuticles, and my acrylic nails feel solid. The atmosphere in her salon feels easy going and comfortable. I will definitely go back to her. I finally found a nail technician I trust and want to go back to.

    I have finally found my nail spot. I have always liked different nail looks and no matter what I ask for, Carmen (818nails on IG) does it beautifully. She treats everyone like she has known you for years and is super accommodating. I drive from the Venice Beach area to Van Nuys and it is worth the drive. I love that Chicana's are doing their thing and do it amazingly. This woman works hard and is down to earth. I am so happy she has come into my life and has my nails always on point .

    2nd set...

    This is my second set with Carmen and I will never go to anyone else ever again. She does an amazing job and she is very detailed in her work, not to mention she makes you feel right at home when you show up, I highly recommend

    My girl Carmen is the effing bomb!!! I've been going her for a couple of years now! She literally NEVER disappoints!! I am a loyal and faithful client...I travel many miles to see her. She is not only my nail slayer, but a friend!!! I am always getting compliments...she's a beast! Love you mama!!! Keep doing your thang!!!!

    Carmen leaves your nails on point and its always great convos with her. I would recommend her she does simple and highly detailed nails. You come out looking flawless and on point. She also does pedicures which is a huge plus. Message her for your appointments.!

    Gotta say Carmen is the best nails tech out there! If you are looking to have amazing nails, she's the person to go to! I've never gotten so many compliments on my nails till I started getting them done by her. My nails last me 4 weeks without any breakage. Couldn't be happier with her amazing work.

This is…read morethe type of nail salon you look forward to coming back to because of how friendly they are and how comfortable they make you feel! I will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to all my friends! Amazing Russian manicure with hard gel, which other salons can't get right for some reason. Thank you so much Mariam and team!!

    First off, I really hate to leave a bad review and I've been going back and forth to even leave…read morethis review but my nails are still super messed up from getting a gel manicure almost 2 months ago here. I used to frequent this place a couple years ago and then I found another nail place in the area that I love. But I decided to come back and give this spot another chance and unfortunately I had a bad experience. Instead of soaking off my previous gel manicure, the technician used the machine to scrap it off. My nails underneath burned as she did this and now that all the gel is off, I can see that a layer of my nail was removed in the process. Because of this, my nails are really messed up. They are brittle, breaking, and hurting. I usually get gel done every 3 weeks and I haven't been in a long time to get another manicure because my nails are so brittle and keep breaking from the manicure I got at this salon. I also went with my sister and she is having the same experience after we went here. It is unfortunate because the salon is lovely inside but I won't be back again.

Everyone is always so kind and attentive. The work is professional, incredibly neat, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. Their results are beautiful, and I always leave feeling my best! Also, Linda, the owner, is truly amazing. I've been coming to this salon since she first opened at this location, and she has always created such a warm, welcoming environment. Even when she's not the one doing my nails, she makes a point to say hello and check in. She's incredibly kind and thoughtful, and I love that she remembers the little details, making the experience feel personal. 100000% would recommend!

    First time getting a Russian pedicure & it will NOT be my last! Officially converted!…read more Sabina took me in as practically a walk in & my oh my, was she the SWEETEST! Very knowledgeable, walked me through everything (since it was my 1st time) & even recommended me to a podiatrist around the corner from the salon (I suffer from ingrowns!) The vibe here is 100/10. It's a nice little oasis, the music is chill enough but also, vibey. The decor here is CUTE! I felt such peace as soon as I walked in! You really forget you're on the busy Ventura Blvd in this little oasis. Will be returning soon!

    I decided to give this Nail salon a try, it had been a few weeks since I last got my nails done…read more When I arrived, they offered me coffee/water. I asked for water, and they brought it in a regular glass mug--something I found concerning for hygiene reasons. At a nail salon, it would be much safer and more sanitary to provide bottled water or disposable cups for customers. My Gel pedicure was done very quickly less t 30 minutes it felt rushed. The cuticles weren't properly trimmed, and the nails weren't deep-cleaned, which is unusual compared to other gel pedicures I've had that usually take 45-60 minutes. My Gel mani was similar- the nail polish had to be applied and removed several times, made it seem like the nail technician might not have been very experienced. Again, cuticles weren't addressed, and the process felt hurried. The salon itself is beautiful, and the aesthetic is lovely, but the service left me disappointed. I was hoping for a relaxing experience, and instead it felt rushed and just awkward vibes.
