This place of business here in Whittier is ran so professionally, efficiently and is so clean and up to date. The mother daughter duel creates such an inviting atmosphere that helps you feel like you aren't a customer but more of a long time friend I can wholeheartedly recommend this place of business and know that this will probably be the best your nails will look and for a reasonable price My husband and my son said, "you need to go there from now on". My nails are meticulously beautiful and it's something so simple. I also got my toes done in the same color, but I'd like to mention that this is perhaps the best pedicure I've ever received I feel pain free from ingrown and my feet are so silky soft used to go to another shop and never got these results, this is a Latina owned and operated business Mujeres apoyando y empoderando Mujeres read more

I was really disappointed with my experience. The daughter of the owner has a poor attitude and could benefit from better customer service training. I don't take it personally, but when you're providing a service that people are paying their hard-earned money for, they deserve to feel welcomed and leave with a job well done, regardless of how you're feeling that day. One thing that really bothered me was how she handled a concern during my appointment. When my nails started burning in the UV lamp, I briefly pulled my hand out and immediately put it back in. I had previously been told that doing this can help stop the burning sensation. Instead of acknowledging that I was in pain, she became upset that I removed my hand. She explained that it could cause bubbling or lifting, which I understand is a possibility. I told her I had only pulled my hand out for a second, that my nails looked fine, and if any lifting occurred later, I would take responsibility. Rather than leaving it at that, she continued arguing with me, looked it up online during my appointment, and insisted on proving she was right. My concern wasn't whether bubbling was possible, it was that my nails were burning. I would never choose to keep my hand in the lamp while it was painful just to avoid a potential issue that might not even happen. I was surprised by the lack of concern for my comfort. I also wasn't impressed with the "Russian manicure." In my experience, it didn't seem any better than a regular manicure and felt like paying more for less. I even asked if the underside of my nails could be cleaned, and she refused, told me I can go wash my nails,, which added to my disappointment. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with the daughter. I can't speak for the owner, but I'm hoping the mother provides a better experience since she has more years in the industry. As someone who works in the beauty industry myself, I understand that everyone has off days and that no appointment is perfect. I also know how important customer service is because clients are spending their hard-earned money and trusting us with their experience. Despite being disappointed, I still left a tip because I respect the work that goes into this profession. Unfortunately, the attitude and the way my concerns were handled left me feeling like my comfort and satisfaction weren't a priority. read more

I loved my Russian/dry pedicure SO much! This location was really clean & hygienic (which is exactly what I was looking for). I called in the afternoon & they thankfully were able to take me in the same day. Their customer service was excellent & I was really pleased with my service with Yasmin! I was very happy she also provided dry exfoliation for the bottom of my feet. I am excited to come back to this location & invest in a local business that treats their clients with care & great service!! read more

Alejandra Dream Nails - French Tip (Russian/dry pedicure) - Nail Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

Love coming here for Russian/dry mani and pedis. The shop is very clean, cute and has a warm vibe. The staff and specifically Cecilia are fantastic. Cecilia is very attentive, has superb attention to detail and keen eye for beautiful design. She fixed my sore toes! Life gets hectic, but they help calendar my appointments ahead of time. It's so great they're respectful of appointment times and are always ready to go as soon as I come in. Looking forward to coming back in a few weeks! :) read more

I was in search of a salon that does russian manicures because I heard they could help with my problem cuticles. I was so impressed with just one visit, and after 3 visits, my nails looked like this! All the girls are skilled and detail oriented. This structured manicure was done by Alejandra. She definitely knows her craft and has basically worked miracles on my ragged cuticles. She encourages me to treat my nails and hands as precious when she sees I have picked at my cuticles lol. I love my nails again! Her prices are very reasonable, comparatively speaking. It is worth paying the deposit to be honored the appointment time you made, they make every effort to stay on time without feeling rushed. The salon is cute and clean, and I love that it is Latina owned. Definitely give them a call to make an appointment! read more

Alejandra Dream Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

Where to begin..I came in with NUBS and cuticles that were bleeding because I was a nail biter. I had been traumatized by past nail salons where they just drill through your fingers! I was scared and skeptical that they would be able to help me. To say that my nail journey has been WAY MORE than I ever expected is an understatement! Their attention to detail, their attention to service is incredible! They take pride in their work and I appreciate their hard work on getting my nails looking healthy!!! Look at those cuticles and those are MY nails!! MIL GRACIAS!!!!! read more

Alejandra Dream Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

EXTREMELY RUDE & DISRESPECTFUL!! I was so excited to finally try this place. I had been waiting months and decided to treat my mom and sister to pedicures for my mom's birthday. we figured out the best date & time but since my work schedule wasn't set yet, I just wanted an idea of what other times were open that weekend before her birthday. The first woman I spoke to didn't seem to understand what I was asking, and before I could clarify, another lady grabbed the phone and--while I was mid-sentence--began yelling "HELLO HELLO HELLOOOO." When I asked if she had just interrupted me, she said, "Yes, because you aren't understanding." That level of disrespect is unacceptable. Whether or not there was miscommunication, no client, especially a first-time client, deserves to be spoken to like that. At that point, I decided to end the call. This was actually my second rude experience here. The first time I called months ago, the person who answered was also extremely dismissive, so I didn't book then either. I gave it another chance, hoping it was just a bad day, but clearly this is how they choose to treat people. It genuinely disappoints me, because as a Mexican woman I was so excited to support a Hispanic, female-owned business. Unfortunately, the lack of care and blatant rudeness makes it clear they don't value their clients. Hope you're happy--you've lost three. read more

I came on Thanksgiving. I was shocked but thankful it was open, because my hands were in desperate need of care! I live in West Covina and drove to Whittier bc it's the closest that offers Russian manicures. I set the appointment up with a $25 deposit. I showed up and extremely impressed with how clean it was and how cleaned it smelled! Yeraldin let me know that it would take time to get my hands to look well (that's how bad my cuticles were). She got to work and was very considerate asking if I was in any pain. Even though she said it would be a process she was wrong bc she worked a MIRACLE on my hands!! They look beautiful. And it's the first time EVER that I've gotten a manicure I'm 100% satisfied with and no pain. I was also impressed that she has done her research on how to properly care for hands and feet which shows in her work. I will definitely be going back! read more

Public service announcement!! If you are a self-proclaimed germophobe like me, then this is the place to be. I used to avoid nail salons because no matter how much they claimed to be clean, it never felt hygienic enough for me. A few months ago, I was hearing all the rage about Russian manicures on TikTok and decided to give getting pedicures another chance. By luck, I found this little shop and I have never looked back since!! Not only are they very serious about cleanliness, but the nail tech I have worked with, Yasmin, is super meticulous with her work. Also, if you're into getting structured nails with builder gel, this is the place to go. You know how hard it is to find a nail tech who actually knows the technique to make the nails last. I am super hard on my hands and I've gotten good results with her work! One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to getting services is feeling rushed, but that has never been the case here. They always take their time with you and make you feel pampered, which I love because I actually feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Not only do they do a good job, but they also have such great vibes at the store with the owner wearing the cutest little outfits with hair bows. It truly feels like a sisterhood. I always leave with more than just a mani-pedi read more

10/10 nail techs at this place. I highly recommend my nail tech Yaraldin. She has been doing my nails for over a year now. My nails are perfect every visit. Everyone is friendly and polite, makes the environment so comfortable and enjoyable! I have a lovely time at each session. This is a Latina owned place which is a plus and they focus on the quality of the service. They do not compare at all to the other nails salons where they treat you like in and out service. At this place they take their time and that's why is it recommended to book your appointment ahead of time so you can get the service that you want. Thank you Alejandra and Yaraldin for always taking care of me every visit every time. read more

Worth the drive! I'm from OC and drove here to get my manicure done. The place was really clean and loved how my nails looked afterwards. I paid $40 in total (including deposit) for my Russian manicure. You'll need to send a deposit. I sent $25 for my deposit. Overall, I'll definitely come back. read more

Came here for the first time. Pretty cute place. SUPER clean which I appreciate. They use CaviCide to disinfect which is awesome. Latina owned, mother daughter business .

Gem in Whittier must try!. Thank you ladies! read more

Alejandra Dream Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

Not sure about the positive reviews. I had an unpleasant experience and didnt even make it there. Perhaps she was having a bad day or did not need new clients. Rude and snippy with sarcasm. There's a 25. Charge at time of appointment and a 20.00 fee removal charge. I didn't get a pleasant and welcoming vive. Moving on to better attitude. Honey, your response confirms my review. I can pay your rent if you need assistance. Asking for promotions is not wrong, especially when your fees are not posted. It's not necessary to go off on people. But you do you. read more

Amazing service! I was in desperate need of a mani/pedi. My coworker spoke highly of this place so I figured I'd give it a try. I've had the same nail tech for 10 years now at a different establishment in Whittier but the quality and longevity in my mani/pedi weren't the best anymore. I called around noon on a Wednesday for an appointment & they were able to see me same day! Upon arrival the decor is beautiful! I really appreciate that this business is LATINA owned! Everyone is very sweet and professional! Maddy provided my gel pedicure and gel manicure. I had really bad ingrown toenails and very rough heels (I'm a daily runner). I'm used to pain with the removal of ingrowns but I experienced NO pain with Maddy! My heels have never been softer as well! The color selection is beautiful! So many choices! Everything is super CLEAN as well! Maddy and Alejandra (the owner) kept checking in on my comfort, making sure everything was relaxing. Thank you so much for a GREAT experience! I can't wait until my next appointment! -Merissa read more

Alejandra Dream Nails is a gem of a salon! From their speedy response to their exceptional attention to detail, I always leave the salon 100% happy with the services I paid for. You can tell they really value their clients and never rush through the process. Which is why everything always comes out looking flawless. But one of my favorite parts about coming to Alejandra's is the fact that I'm supporting a small Latina owned business. The energy from the ladies here never disappoints. 100/10 recommend checking them out read more

I found Alejandra while searching for Russian Manicures on Google. The reviews were exceptional and i concur! There are not many places that offer Russian mani/pedi unless you want to drive to Glendale or further! I live close to DT Long Beach so i decided to give them a try and have been returning each month since December 2023. Alejandra's place is immaculate when it comes to cleanliness. All of the technicians are kind, welcoming and highly trained. I always see Jeraldine who is better than my doctor at removing ingrown nails! They offer Gel, Gelx and acrylic. I always get the Russian Gel Mani and Luxurious Pedi. $100 total and worth every penny along with the drive from LB. Finally, this salon is Latina owned and operated, such a nice change from what has become the norm among nail salons! read more

It was my first time getting a Russian Pedicure and my experience was amazing! Such great attention to detail and very crisp lines and not a bad price point either for the basic at $45 including gel polish. I never once felt rushed during my appt. The previous nail technician I saw completely botched my nails, drilling them too much and leaving sensitive uneven spots of damage on my nails. My tech (wish I could remember her name) was amazing at checking in with me and my pain level as she worked and was very gentle during the entire service! The salon was beautifully kept and very relaxing. Loved this spot and will be returning read more

I came to this spot for the first time and asked if they can change the music, the owner was very rude and the daughter made a comment like a rude comment! It's really sad cz I like to promote and help spots that are own by brown and black peeps! But this lady was rude and made me laugh at her ignorance of saying I'm the owner here and if I want to play this music I'll play it... wow ok Good luck! I will never come here again!!!! read more

Alejandra's team is so sweet and makes sure you get everything you're asking for. Upon walking in, everyone was so friendly and greeting me. This is the prettiest nail salon I ever been in. I love how it's simply pretty and there's accents everywhere to make the place more feminine and beautiful. I love the gray and white color schemes they have going on. The couches are nice and comfortable. They're really big too. Today, I got a manicure and and a pedicure. Never have I ever wrote a review while still at the shop lol. This place is truly amazing. I wanna cry. I never been treated so nice in a nail shop before ! And they offer mimosas !!!! I have found my new favorite place to get my nails and feet done. Definitely worth the money. read more

Alejandra Dream Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

I wanted to get my nails done for a boudoir photoshoot I did and Alejandra absolutely slayed my set. I went with a nude color and coffin shape. Acrylic set built with extension guide and not with tips which was lighter and lasted much longer. Pedicure was relaxing and made me feel so much better. The setup, chairs, decor, and nail technicians all exuded such powerful feminine energy. I could tell a lot of hard work went in to building the sanctuary for women to feel comfortable in and leave feeling empowered. read more

The service was acceptable, but I wouldn't return or recommend this place. The lack of experience was evident, and I had to endure the owner speaking poorly about her clients, including derogatory comments about their feet and race (specifically Caucasian clients). This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. While the business promotes itself as women-owned and Latina-owned, it feels more like a facade to attract customers under the guise of supporting a good cause. The owner replied and lied!I was there and her daughter did my pedicure, as I mentioned she was bad mouthing her clients in my presence I don't lie I have no reason to! I regretted spending my money in a place like this, and wouldn't want others to make the same mistake! read more

First time here, I really appreciate the owner, and all the lovely ladies here! Everyone is very kind, the shop is cute as well! I want to thank you for explaining things to me (it was my first time getting gel-x, and I'm a very indecisive person) I love how everyone and Alejandra are very detail oriented in their work! Thank you so much! Also best to call make an appt first, and there's a $25 deposit charge, personal opinion on the side, I believe that's a smart idea because you get your appt in and they honor it. Trust me you'll come out having the best Russian manicures and pedicure along with any nails and other beauty treatments here! Thanks you so much again! Will definitely recommend to others! read more

Alejandra Dream Nails - My girls and I get our nails done - Nail Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

After a 2 year break of getting nails done I finally decided to give another try. It was around Xmas time and I wanted to be ready for the holidays. I tried different nail salons in Downey before but they were very similar, always in a hurry with clients, they hurt my nail bed, I couldn't find one where I REALLY liked the job done. I decided to try with Alejandra based on the reviews and the pictures they have online, good thing I did!! I had a quick response to get my 1st appointment, she understood what I wanted since the beginning and she really takes the time necessary to get my nails looking great, not in a rush like other places. I'll definitely keep coming here. Place it's cute and clean. read more

The business is very clean and stylish. And the attention to detail is everything! Yeraldin did my nails and took her time, removed my acrylics, took care of my natural nails and cleaned off the build up on the nail plate, she also clipped my cuticles and took care of them with an attachment on the drill. She used product to help make my nails healthier and stronger before applying the acrylic overlay. A single layer of acrylic to make my natural nail stronger. And then was detailed about to design I requested. This business only takes appointments as they only have 3-4 employees, they do ask for a $25 deposit that can be used toward your service. They have a strict cancellation policy, but understandable since they need your appointment to sustain business. They are kind and make you feel welcome! If you're Spanish speaking, so are they! That's a plus! read more

My new favorite nail salon. I recently moved to La Mirada from OC. I had tried many other nails salons in the area and no one could get my nails the way I'm used to. That's until my daughter found this Latina owned gem! The atmosphere is super nice, the girls are very professional, they give you a Nini manicure before starting your nails not a lot of nail salons do it, and omg my nails are perfect! Even better than my favorite salon in Costa Mesa (and that's a lot to say for me ). I 100% recommend. Do make sure you call ahead to make your appointmentand be prepared to Zelle/Venmo a small deposit. read more

Came here for the first time today to get a full acrylic set. I called in the morning and was able to get an appointment that afternoon. The owner was the one who did my nails and she not only did an amazing job but made me feel really comfortable the whole time. I'm not a really girly girl and haven't gotten my nails done since before the pandemic but I have a special occasion coming up and wanted to feel pretty. Needless to say I was nervous about getting my nails done but those nerves went away the second I walked into the salon. She also consistently asked questions about my nails to make sure they were exactly how I wanted them which I appreciated and she explained everything along the way. The salon itself is very cutely decorated and very clean. The whole experience was amazing. Will definitely be coming back again. read more
