I went to several nails salons in Long Beach before going to best nails and haven't been anywhere else since. The owner Chris is an absolute sweetheart and always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with my nails. My UV gel manicures always last for several weeks & I work with my hands !
My friend and I went to Best Nails, and had to endure one of the worst experiences. We walked in, picked a color, and were treated nicely by the owner and workers at first, and were helped after about 20 minutes. We stayed for almost 3 hours. We both got the UV gel manicure with tips, which cost $60, and I wish I could have my money back. Four different workers were in charge of my manicure. I'd say the organization of the salon is unacceptable, but they have no organization to begin with. My friend asked for a manicure with a floral design, and after a 40 minute attempt -- with my friend trying to move on halfway before -- they couldn't draw it, and then treated us as if it was such an insane request. My manicure chipped after barely 24 hours of use, and my friends application were much too thick and rough for her hands. The manicure is already starting to lift. They should rethink every value and train every worker to be prepared for customer service. The way we were handled was absolutely unacceptable, especially after waiting 3 hours. If there was an option for negative stars, I'd use that instead.
This place is absolutely no thrills. I came in for a pedicure and when I asked for their upgrade options they said they had a spa pedicure which comes with callous remover and a 10 min massage for $50. Every other place around here offers at least that much (usually with hot stones as well) for $35. The pedicure was 17 min, a 1 min "massage" on each foot and she just did the necessary. The water in the foot bath was cold and the lotions she used were freezing! She kept trying to get me to buy the spa package and I kept saying no, since the job she was doing was subpar at best. She didn't thank me for my 20% tip and I found her rude. I also didn't like that they used a paper towel roll to prop my ankle up, as seen in the picture. I wouldn't return here.
It is the worst job I have ever done, the gel polish on the third day came out and when I came to fix it in the living room they did not see me in 30 minutes later. I paid $ 55 more tips. the worst job that they have done to me
Stopped in when I was in the long beach area and was killing time. They used a weird soak off method for the gel I had one at the time so it took forever in that respect. But once the old gel was off, they were quick and efficient putting on my new gel mani. There were tons of regulars in there that knew everyone by name, got people in and out when they were just getting regular manis and pedis. Price was good. Was 30 for my gel mani.
Worst manicure I've ever gotten. What a disappointment. Top coat doesn't extend across the whole nail, and causing the polish to chip and come off in the same day. My nails were also filed into slanted and uneven nubs, and a finger with an injury kept being cut and filed after I repeatedly asked for it to be left alone and just painted. A woman named Jully did my nails, and was trying to speak to me about payment, but wouldn't lift her mask and was un-understandable. It was very embarrassing, as everyone in the eerily silent salon was looking at me as I tried to figure out what she was mumbling. Avoid avoid avoid. Pricey for all that, too. :/
It's always a toss up when deciding on a new nail salon, and there's a lot to take into consideration when rating how happy you are with your experience. Best Nails has a Monday-Wednesday special of mani/pedi for under $20, which is a great deal, however if you want gel, it's going to cost more. Best Nails was very reasonable. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure for $40. The place is very clean and when the whirlpool in my foot bath stopped working, Terry (ask for her!) was concerned and tried to fix it. She also went in search of a color for my toes to match the gel on my fingers. It was clear that having a good experience was important to her. I am definitely making Best Nails my new regular salon in Long Beach.

I got tips with dip color , they gave me a great shape, I would have like them more narrow but that's my fault for not saying it. But they are more on the narrow side then anything. I'm super picky Great job! Clean! Didn't rush! Sanitized tools Friendly and polite read more

I went there based on the great reviews...... I had a terrible experience. The lady who took care of my nails was mean, everything seemed to be hard for her. For Example I picked a color and asked her if it was opaque she said it was. Once she was actually putting it on my nails it was clear so I asked if there was another color that was opaque and similar, she proceeded to yell at me: go pick your color. Before that I gave her my debit card to pay and she asked something and I couldn't understand she wasn't clear plus she was wearing the mask so I asked her if she could repeat herself or remove the mask so I could understand. She didn't and when I said I didn't understand once more she grabbed my card from my hands and just left and swiped. I left feeling like a piece of crap. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! read more
