    Just me supporting what I thought was a girlfriend.

    She deleted my original review. So Ima write it again. Ive never had a major problem with her until last month. Two of my nails started lifting 3 days after my appointment. I sent her a message and she responded quickly. The repair appointment was the following Friday around 430. She sent me the 1st message but I didn't respond because I was at work. The issue started when she sent the 2nd one. Ive been going to Val since 2020/2021. She will say something aggressive/bitchy and when I match her energy she backs off and changes her tone. Making it seem like it's not how she meant to say it. So the message is basically rushing me to come in because she had "prior personal matters to take care of". I felt rushed so I told her to cancel my appointment and we can reschedule. As she had personal matters to tend to. The following appointment was Saturday or Sunday. I misread the time and showed up 30 mins after my appointment. She took me in. Which is why I didnt want to write a review. But during the repair appointment she didn't apologize for her message or addressed the situation. Okay so now my next appointment was for Sunday and 5pm. I was sitting in my car waiting for 5 when I start getting notifications that she canceled ALL my appointments. She has a 15 minute late policy. If you arrive 15 mins you get charged half your appointment. She canceled all my appointments between 451-454. I live in Lancaster thats over an hour drive to Culver City. She could've sent me courtesy text or waited for me to go inside but she didn't... Another situation I had with her...I used to work overnights, I went in after work one time and I had just finished eating hot wings. This was when she was working out of her living rooms *just to so my fucking loyalty* I had some sauce under my nails. So to my face shes like it's okay no worries. Then I went to her salon appointment I had apologized for my hands being dirty *I smoke and had residue on my hands* she goes like girl dont worry. Someone came in with nasty chicken wings on their hands. I stopped and looked up at her and told her girl that was me. Her face when numb and she went dead silent. She tried to change the subject but the damage was already done. From that moment on I knew what kind of a person she was. During our appointment she would also talk about her other clients personal business to me. She also talks about her neighbors businesses failing for not having enough business to pay rent. For future clients BE careful sharing your personal information with her. Cause once you tell her something her entire clientele will know about you with you knowing them. 0 stars if I could!

    Great experience. The doggies were personally my favorite part! Parking was my only concern. Communication was easy & very prompt. This was my first experience with an at home nail tech & I was excited as this was the first time I saw one who offered pedicure services as well. Appointment was made with ease. Location was easy to find. Conversation was nice. Attention to detail. Nails have lasted. Pricing was aligned with previous nail shop. I have received NUMEROUS compliments. I will definitely continue to make appointments & get both my Gel-X manicures & pedicures done here.
