Yasue is absolutely incredible! She is really gentle and works fast. To top it off, she has a wonderful personality and is so much fun to talk to. Note that she only does regular polish, not gels! Be sure to book your appointment with her in advance through text. She is very communicative and will share detailed parking info, directions, etc. with you. Thank you so much Yasue for pampering me and my mom!! read more

Yasue was amazing! I was in town for graduation and she took me in for a same day appointment. She gave me the most perfectly shaped almond nails and even helped repair my thumbnail which had ripped. Yasue gave the most amazing hand massage; she is quite strong. Her application of polish is second to none. Overall, I was so happy with my manicure and her conversational skills. I happily recommend her nail service. Just remember, no gel or acrylic. Yasue is the best! read more

Amazing Nails - Manicure by Yasue - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yasue is really the best! I called as she is appointment only and was so lucky to get a spot the next day. I only wish I lived near her still! Naturally beautiful work and completely flawless. I got a mani/pedi and would go back every week if I could. If I plan to be near her anytime in the future I will make it a point to see her. Private space, great communication, complete attention to detail. read more

Yasue is an artist who happens to also do a fantastic job on nails, whether you choose to get artwork on them or not. She works alone, so book ahead and allow her time to do her excellent work using very hygienic practices in a small private salon. Her polishes are varied and fresh, unlike many who use old prepandemic stock! A mani pedi will take about 90 minutes and half that time if you only do one service. She does not do acrylics or gel, so no strong chemical smell for those of us who just want a clean professional place with a delightful woman who will go the extra mile (she puts on your sandals before painting your toes so no smearing)! Options for free parking lot nearby, or across the street for $2 with her validation if you don't find a metered spot. read more

She is amazing! I had the best pedicure and she is so sweet. I cannot recommend her enough... Love how my nails turned out! Give her a try... You will not be disappointed. read more

PLEASE EVERYONE go to Yasue for nails! She doesn't use gel or acrylic, but her precision in applying regular polish is TRULY **chef's kiss.** I learned the hard way how damaging gel polish is to my nails, but I was a little worried with regular nail polish, my manicure would not look as clean. Yasue took SUCH good care of me, that I wish she were back in the Bay Area (where I'm based) to do my nails every week. read more

Let me start off by saying I like to only do regular nail polish for my nail's health, and I love painting my nails myself and have a collection of nail polishes that I bring to salons. I made appointments at various nail salons for them to do the design below for my upcoming graduate photo shoot. All nail salons cancelled with me last minute because they "couldn't do designs with regular polish". It seems like LA is only a gel nail polish place, but I found Yasue's Amazing Nails on Yelp. I called her and left a voicemail in desperation to have my nails done. She called me back immediately and scheduled me that day. She was incredibly kind and accommodating with me! I showed her the picture of the design I wanted to get done and she said she could do it. She measured my nails and sketched out the design. She was extremely attentive to detail and spent her time ensuring that the quality was exceptional. She is very kind and fun to talk to, making the trip very relaxing. Her prices are great for Los Angeles! She did an amazing job and I was thrilled to have the design for my graduate photos. Thank you so much Yasue! read more

This was the second time they gave an appt. And then went back on it. I decided to give them another try since they usually seem empty. Today I drove 30 min for an appt. Where I asked for 3 or 3:30. She very clearly gave me 3:30. So I sat outside eating until 3:30 and when I walked in at 3:30. She said I told you 3:00 which was absolutely false. And started to raise her voice with me while clearly lying. Very unprofessional !!! I do NOT recommend them at all. read more

How does this place only have 38 reviews?!! I am sad I didn't start coming here earlier! I've lived in Westwood for 3 years and I was going to places like Patio Nail Spa & InStyle, both of which yielded fine results, but their inside cleanliness & customer service was pretty lacking. I wish I could give all my money spent over the last 3 years on nails to this amazingly skilled, talented, & kind Japanese businesswoman in Westwood!! What a boss & an inspiration. She responded to my inquiry for a reservation within the hour, and she gets pretty booked up since she is just 1 person, so definitely reach out ahead! Cant believe it took me this long, but better late than never. As a girl who doesn't do gel & sticks to regular manicures, this would be the perfect place for someone like me. Yasue also does nail art & awesome designs, which I didnt get this time, but mayyybe next time! Yasue is very kind, gentle on your hands, and never makes you feel rushed. She takes care on each nail, and you really feel the passion coming from her. GO TRY THIS PLACE! (It's inside the Phenix Suites) read more

Yasue gave me a mani/pedi this afternoon. I was so engaged in our convo that I didn't even realize what a great job she did til I was out the door! Her work is meticulous and she's a lovely person. Making an appointment via text was quick and easy. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Love, love, loveeeeee my experience with Yasue. Like everyone says on here, she is a sweetheart. She was friendly and welcoming, and I enjoyed our hour together. A few of my nails are slightly crooked (comes with the not-so-perfect keyboard fingers), but Yasue managed to work it and hide that imperfection! I wanted to recreate the nails from my wedding day for upcoming anniversary date, and I showed her a picture. Wedding day nails were gel, and Yasue does not do gel, but she was able to recreate with classic nail lacquer and glitter! Yasue is very attentive to details and very sweet. She was also very mindful in helping me get my back pack on without smudging my new finger candy. Thank you, Yasue! read more

This nail salon was new to me- we walked in and were helped warmly and quickly immediately.... Lynn did my nail beautifully abd I didn't get the name if my-pedicurist who was equally qualified. They did exactly as I asked, were clean and sterile- a definite find with the prices right as well! read more

I came back because I was in the area and got an amazing manicure/pedicure. Even though it was not gel, the quality was still amazing. Parking is pretty easy(just park in the Trader Joe's or Target lot, they have a great validation deal). I definitely would recommend going here to anyone who lives in LA! read more

Also , amazing , long lasting pedicure! Below is a photo of my pedicure after 4 weeks ...It's still perfect!! Not a single scratch or chipped polish. For being regular nail polish not gel its impressive if you ask me. read more

Yasue is amazing! She is very personable and a great person to talk to. Her work and attention to detail is impeccable, I really felt pampered during the manicure. She is so gentle and I wasn't afraid of any pain. I really like that she makes sure that I like everything she does at each step and I really felt that I could trust all of her suggestions. Her nail art is amazing and I am just in love with them. Her intricate designs are one of a kind. It was really easy to make an appointment with her and she is super responsive to all forms of contact. She's also reasonably priced, especially for the Westwood area. I can't wait until the next time I can come back to her again. Thank you Yasue! read more

PROFESSIONALISM Yasue conscientiously strives to give beautiful manicures and pedicures, and clients like me are dedicated to her. She knows her craft, uses high quality products and is pleasant and personable. She runs a tidy, single-chair business at the Phenix Salon in Westwood. WORKMANSHIP Yasue has the steady hand of a painter, and a spot-on color sense as well. I've gone to her for over three years, and she's always been happy to adapt to my preferences. I like to use my own and I often have her lay down a glittering coat of "Frisson" (Chanel #543) on top of my base color. CLEANLINESS Amazing Nails is a clean operation. Very clean. And that is important to me. I would not have my nails done in a salon that wasn't very clean. PRICE $55 for a manicure and a pedicure is NOT inexpensive. But, it's well worth it. I've found that Yasue's manicures will last up to two weeks (if I apply a coat of Rejuvacote every day for the first few days) and her pedicures can last for a solid month. PARKING Generally, a pain in Westwood. But for $2 with validation, I park in structure that's a part of the Phenix Salon. read more

Amazing Nails - Perfectly red, precisely done, brilliant shine! Ever so elegant! I love my manicure!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Where to start? Yasue is really passionate about her business, a real artist, she never ever disappoints. Her pedicures last for weeks as would her manicures, but I work with my hands and they take a beating - so I'm there every other week. Her services are one on one. Her salon is intimate, clean and doesn't have that dreadful chemical smell that plagues most of the large nail salons. Her work is detailed and precise & her foot and hand massages are heavenly. I'm terrible & never really plan my appointments in advance, but even though Yasue works alone she always does her best to accommodate my last minute planning. Her prices are very reasonable and for small extra charge (on certain days) she also does house calls. Parking in Westwood is generally a pain. There is metered parking around the Phoenix Salons where Yasue is located. Also, Trader Joe's is just across the street. Get a $2 validation from the Phoenix salon suites (do check your ticket in the machine when you return to the parking lot to make sure there are no extra charges) or pop into TJ's - shop- and get a 1 hour validation - Don't get both validations on your ticket, the exit machine goes bonkers and won't recognize either validation. read more

Yasue is super friendly, extremely professional and does an amazing job! I'll definitely be back. read more

If I could give Yasue a thousand stars, I would. She has been doing my nails and toes for a long time now. Her pedicures last over four weeks and her nail art is stunning. You can go to her with a design in mind or let her follow her own inspiration. She is lovely and a true artist. read more

Yasue is the best! She is a natural real artist (really, she really is an artist) and sure does show her talent. She is thorough and does a great job on manis and pedis. Her foot massage is amazing, I almost felt guilty it was part of the pedicure.... amazing! read more

I loved my experience here! Yasue was very professional and a great conversationalist. My nails were done perfectly and she was very patient while I was trying to pick my color. I called a day before and she was very flexible, she even offered to come at 8.15am while the place opens at 9am! I will definitely be back here. read more

I don't normally do a lot of reviews on Yelp, unless I feel the person or business deserves a 5 star rating. I have been a client of Yasue's for 16 years. In my opinion, ytou won't find a better manicurist than Yasue, which is why I was very surprised by the two star review that Amazing Nails received, especially since all of her other reviews are five stars. First off, Amazing Nails has only been in business for 3 1/2 years not 10 years. She has been a manicurist for 25 years now, which is why this two star review made me question what was being said, since it seems that 10 years was a random number the person picked. Anyone that knows Yasue and has gone to her will tell you she is a perfectionist. She is extremely particular in the way she does your nails. There is no way Yasue would shape nails differently and at different lengths, let alone not clean the cuticles. Yasue is dedicated and takes such pride in her work, which is why her manicures and pedicures last. There are times when I can't go to Yasue for a manicure and I can honestly say with some other manicurists, the polish does not last as long. With that being said, Yasue is the only person I have gone to for the past 16 years for my pedicures. Plus, her foot massages are to die for. I am extremely picky with the people I go to and when I find someone incredible, I stick with them no matter what location they move to. In addition, I only need to go every 4-5 weeks for a pedicure because they last that long. Also, Yasue has a true talent with the artwork she does. I am always getting complimented on the artwork on my pedicures. If you are looking for a compassionate, genuine, and honest manicurist whose manicures/pedicures last, then Yasue is the person for you. You won't be disappointed! read more

Yasue is so wonderful! Not only is a she a wonderful person and great conversationalist but she is very talented at her craft. My manicure lasted 10 days! With regular polish!! She does not do acrylics, gels or have a fancy spa chair, but she doesn't need any of it! She's that good! read more

beautiful nails done! quick job and well done! she is very friendly and paid great attention to the details... i felt being pampered! will come back again. read more

I'm a long time Yelper and it's really unfortunate when I see someone gets their places mixed up and posts a review for the wrong place and taints a perfect review for a business I believe is absolutely wonderful!! Yasue hasn't been here 10 years and neither was this Phenix salon..I know since I've lived locally here for years. I was just lucky enough to find Yasue after trying countless people in the area and I've come here ever since! Considering how picky I am that's a big statement. She has a great selection of colors and her polish job lasts forever which ends up saving you money since you don't have to come back as often. Yasue is a perfectionist, has amazing attention to detail and is very dedicated to her clients so you truly feel she wants to do her best possible work for you, can't ask for more than that! Remember to make an appointment though because she's that good you can't just walk-in. Heavenly foot massage and one of the best pedicures I've ever gotten! read more

Yasue is a sweetheart. I and my toes are so grateful we found her. If I could give 10 stars I would. She is awesomely talented in her hand painted nail art. She is kind, thorough, efficient, and genuine. She specializes in regular Mani/Pedi's only. If you need or have a full set /fill/artificial nails, this is NOT the place for you. Her work will last upwards of 3 weeks if you take care of it. I can go 5 weeks on her Pedi's. I work with my hands so I don't get polish, only a buff n shine and even it last for awhile. Her services are one on one so you don't have to feel rushed. She allots enough time needed for your services. She works in a very clean, tidy, relaxing and intimate space where there is one other person, however every time I go in, the other young lady is never there. Try her at least once, she will not disappoint. read more

Yasue is very professional and nice. His work is clean and impeccable, and the massage included in the service was wonderful. Do not hesitate to go to her place ! read more

Came here to get an acrylic fixed. The nails shape was off and so was the color. She had limited colors and is way too overpriced for her subpar work. Literally 5 minutes later the nail broke off. Go to a real nail salon. Also, her name is the same name of the nail spot I go to on Westwood Blvd. that is amazing and should be the only Amazing Nail place on here. read more

I just got a manicure from Yasue today and she is amazing :) She was willing to fit me in at the very last minute. She is also very good at texting you and punctual. She genuinely cares about her clients and pays very close attention to detail. For $20 a manicure with her service, I will definitely be back. read more
