My mom used this nail shop all the time. I recall them upsetting her due to unprofessional behavior. My mom past about 5 years ago. We had to go into L.A. for my daughter and to visit dad. I needed a fill BAD! I decided to give them a chance. My mistake! I got my nails done the day before my birthday. I decided on Chrome polish. The nails looked fine for a while, but within 24 hours(if that long), some of my nails began to bubble. There was visible black polish (coat needed to create Chrome look). The bubbles continued to worsen, so i tried to smooth it with my fingers. Today, 4 days later, my polish began to peel off of one finger. I peeled most of it off but noticed the black polish is getting al over my hands. I had to use alcohol to get it off my fingers. Used cuticle nippers to get the rest off, then had the file the remainder off. DON'T RECOMMEND!
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!
This is an amazing place to have your nails done. Valerie is a total artist and an angel on earth. She is the most knowledgeable person in her field and super talented. I can't believe I was blessed enough to find her!! she is a true nail Goddess and a beautiful person!
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.
Great service and quality! She practices great hygiene. I love the designs she's willing to try out on me and quality of the polish (so many polishes to choose from!!) Will definitely be returning!
Thank you for a wonderful experience Valerie. Really appreciate that you took your time with my nails.
I wish I can rate her more stars!!! HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE NAIL TECH!!!! I wanted a melanin rainbow and HUNNIII she CAME THROUGH!!!! And let's talk about her customer service she went above and BEYOND to make sure I was comfortable!! She gave me tips on how to maintain my actual nails. Omgee I love her services!!! I will be returning!!!!

I've been going to my nail artist for years, and she never disappoints! I get Gel-X short stiletto sets with detailed hand-painted nail art, and every set is better than the last. Whether I want something colorful for Pride, spooky Halloween vibes, or clean minimalist designs, she absolutely nails it every time. They're durable, comfortable, and always get compliments. If you're looking for someone who can turn your ideas into tiny works of art, she's your girl! read more

I almost don't want to leave this review because appointments are so hard to come by... but NOBODY is going to care for your nails and pay attention to detail like Valerie. Every month Valerie gets creative with my nails and I always leave happy. Her prices are excellent for hard gel. The parking lot is convenient and her space is lovely. Never leaving this nail salon! read more

I found this lovely lady through yelp! She was extremely professional and was able to fit me in the same day. She did the most clean Apres Gel x set on me for my upcoming birthday.. and I couldn't be more satisfied! She was very clean, used all disposable tools and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be going back to her and recommend her to everyone I know! read more
