    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 a women-owned, women-run business and 100% of the time I've been totally satisfied with the work. Gel, Dazzle Dry, regular, sugar scrubs, callus remover...they do it all and more. Prices are super fair. Free parking in their lot. Easy to book through their app and over the phone. I've seen them work with kids and moms, solo guys, my husband will join from time to time. It's always a win! Stop scrolling and just book your appointment!

    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.

I show up to my appointment, get my nails and toes done. Hygiene of the process was questionable to me. Technician double dipped into scrubs and other products after touching my feet. After my service was done, they up charged me by $100. When I asked why, I was told my nails are medium length, therefore they charge $10 per finger. No one told me this during my service. I got plain nails done (booking was for hard gel), no design or anything extra, didn't even ask for a Russian manicure. Overall, this experience was not worth $250 before tip. The idea of a business performing services on you KNOWING they will charge higher than listed on their own booking system does not sit right with me. Word of advice to the owner: this place is so convenient yo my work, id have been my new regular spot. You just lost years worth of business over $100. To respond to the owners response: my booking was $150 for mani and pedi both. There was no discussion about any other services in person. I picked the color from the options I was presented and that's that. If your staff added services, those were not discussed with me. The lady that checked me out at the register even explained to me that the services were $100 more due to the "medium length" of my nails. Again, none of this was disclosed during the service. If that's the up charge your salon aims for, that's completely fine. But maybe disclose it to the customer and be open and honest. I felt robbed after checking out.

The ladies were wonderful and took my appointment later and last minute in the evening for a natural and basic mani/pedi. Appreciate the timing of it all! The atmosphere, manicurists and chairs were super comfy. Not to mention I really enjoy when the mani/pedi is knocked out by two employees at once. It's much more time efficient and relaxing this way. The ladies weren't aggressive with my nail beds either which was pleasant. Thanks Tracy! Will be back again, bc shoot schedules are always short notice mainly. And no lady wants to show up with crusty nail beds. My nails were perfect, natural, and well cared for. They even taught me a handful of Vietnamese words. Fun!

    I was very disappointed with my experience at Nail Affair Salon…read more The first thing I noticed was that the salon itself felt untidy and not particularly clean, which isn't what you want to see in a nail salon. I booked a gel manicure, but the quality of the work was poor. The manicure looked rushed, the application wasn't well done, and the overall result fell well below what I would expect from a professional salon. I also paid for the Hydration Boost service. Unfortunately, they didn't perform the full treatment--they skipped the paraffin portion entirely--but still charged me full price. If a service isn't fully provided, customers shouldn't be charged as though it was. Between the lack of cleanliness, the poor-quality manicure, and being charged for a service that wasn't completely performed, I left feeling like I didn't receive what I paid for. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend Nail Affair Salon based on my experience.

I was searching on yelp for a place open on Sunday's and offered late hours and stumbled upon X nails. I called them for an appt at 330 on a Sunday as they close at 5pm. (During the week and Saturday I believe it's 7pm). The lady who answered was so sweet, welcoming and calm. Immediately felt good about this. She offered a 4pm and it was the best decision! When I walked in, I was welcomed with smiles and asked to check in at the iPad. The salon is beautiful inside, aesthetically pleasing. Gary did my nails & he was everything I want in a nail tech. I'm pretty picky about my nails, their shape, the application, but I had no complaints. For being the last appointment of the day, I was not rushed and I felt he took his time making sure everything was right about my nails. This also was the first time in a while getting gel X that my nails didn't burn when drying the adhesive and they're not tender when I'm using my hands/pressing against them. Pricing to me is beyond fair especially for the quality. It's been a week since my first appointment and they still look great, no polish chipping (and I do a lot with my hands), and shape is still the same and hasn't dulled. Looking forward to my next appointment and trying a pedicure. But so far, this is my new Nail Salon!
