TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL HARASSMENT It has taken me a long time to write this review but I genuinely thought this business would have shut down by now. To my surprise it hasn't... . But it has come to my attention that the owner of this business (Tommy) has CONTINUED to sexually harass their clients. SO here is what happened to me in 2020: They were only taking one-on-one appointments due to COVID regulations. At the time I was 22 years old. His wife and daughter were in the business towards the back of the business in a room so it was just me and him in the main lobby on a pedicure chair. I had scheduled to do a manicure and pedicure. It started off with a regular manicure and pedicure and his weird comments began. Comments as in "you look so much younger than your age because of how small and petite your body is" -- the comments continued "you have really nice hands and really nice feet" -- they continued, "you are gonna look young for a very long time since you are small and have such a nice body" then the routine of a massage on the feet and calves began (this was normal and expected) THEN his hands traveled up my legs into my inner thighs and then to my shoulders and chest area..... I COMPLETELY FROZE. Up to this day I wish I would have reacted differently but I shut down. I felt completely and utterly paralyzed and in shock!!! It's been years later and I still reflect on how I should have spoken up and reacted differently. One of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life. I truly hope this business shuts down!! that his wife wakes up that her husband is a COMPLETE CREEP, and that should have NEVER happened to anyone!!! I have never received a massage like that in my life just for pedicure!! IT WAS AWFUL AND MADE ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!! read more

Ivy is the best at pedicures and nails, she did a really great job on both my pedicure (which I am very picky with) and my dip powder nails I highly recommend this place, her husband did my Acrylics last time I was here as well and did a good job as well read more

Please do not waste your money, you might think that the good reviews show how good they are but they don't, they aren't clean, and they aren't good. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE PLEASE!!! I walked in and they took me in early, they sat me at the same station as the previous customer and did not disinfect anything AT ALL! He cut my natural nails and didn't even file them. He then did the acrylics without any cuticle prep. He did not seem happy at all during the appointment and the only time I saw him smile was when I paid him and gave him a $10 tip. He gave me something completely different then what I showed him and the language barrier made it hard for me to explain what I wanted. Please find somewhere else and do NOT LISTEN TO THESE GOOD REVIEWS!!! I trusted them too and came and now I regret it. Completely ruined my prom nails read more

Glad I was able to get in same day for an appointment for a new full set of acrylics. Had a bad experience at another salon so I've been hesitant. Finally got motivated to go in for another set and I'm so glad I called Designer Nail. She was so careful about getting the shape just right and suggesting the right color base for the design I showed her. Obsessed! Thank you Ivy! read more

I was reluctant to post my review but this man needs to be held accountable for harassing me. First things first the work was amazing and it's extremely clean in there. It's run by a wife and husband, the wife was so sweet and nice. HOWEVER, I was genuinely SEXUALLY HARASSED by the husband. He kept making comments about how beautiful I was which is very nice but inappropriate when you're providing a service but also MARRIED working four stations away from your wife. I kept mentioning my boyfriend and even showed a photo hoping that would make it stop. He said "how lucky my boyfriend was" and then went on to say how he "normally doesn't like white girls but I'm making him change his mind" he asked what I did for a living I told him I do hair, he said "you should cut my hair sometime and I'll take you out to dinner" and I said oh no you're hair already looks fine! He asked what food I like, I said sushi or Italian he said "you can come over I'll make you sushi" Trying to not be rude because I was SO uncomfortable, but I was very desperate to get my nails done because I had a trip planned the next day, I booked this appt in advance based on all the good reviews, it was already 4 pm so I didn't have a choice but to stay or walk out with half done Let me say this, at the beginning he didn't really talk except to ask what shape I wanted/etc and I was just playing on my phone. Then about halfway through it started. I got so uncomfortable that when he went to do my pedicure I was in a long dress with shorts underneath and he kept trying to LIFT UP my legs to get them in the water. I did not allow him and he kept smiling and laughing. I said I have to go can you please just change the polish (I was in desperate need for a full pedicure but I was so uncomfortable I just wanted to leave) he said no no no it's okay and I said no I'm already running late for my plans (which was a lie so I could leave) and he said probably 3-5 times "are you sure you don't want a massage" "it only takes 5 minutes" "are you sure". It was so disgusting and just made MY SKIN CRAWL!!! I just wanted to leave and never come back. I talked to a couple people the last few weeks and every single person said I should write a review and not let him get away with it. To his wife, I'm really sorry you can believe me or not but if my husband was acting that way I would want to know. read more

Loved the nails. The actual place can use some painting and redecorating but the staff is great at what they do. they only have (or At least had) two people working, which meant my friend had to wait until I was done to do her nails since the other person was busy with another guest. Would definitely give them a try:) read more

First time here and had a wonderful experience. Ivy and Jenny took their time with my mani-pedi and I really appreciated that. They're so nice and you can tell that they really appreciate their customers. I can't believe I just found out about this place. Definitely my new go-to nail salon. Btw, I love my nails!! read more

My nails ALWAYS lift when I get them done at any OTHER salon!!! Not here in this salon... I USE my hands for work and I put them through a lot. Ivy's nails ALWAYS pull through unless it's a major number I do on one of my fingers. In a case like that, I know it was me and not the nails. For me, this proves and shows they do quality work and use top quality nail products!! They do not disappoint!!! Thank you for providing wonderful quality service!! Appointments only for the most part but well worth the wait!! The salon is pretty and very clean and they change the liner on the pedicure tubs after each use... read more

Wonderful husband and wife team!!!! Amazing service and quality. They really take pride in their work and it shows! Awesome job with my pedicure and dip powder nails. Keep in mind that it's only them 2 and they prefer you make an appointment, if they have time they can squeeze you in as a walk-in but I'd say make an appointment just to be sure. So glad I found them! read more

I've been on the hunt (just like everyone else) for "my" nail salon since I've moved to the AV 6 months ago. I initially wanted to go to Polished Nail Salon bc of all of the awesome reviews, but they wouldn't take my calls, so I called here and I'm really glad I did! The shop is not fancy but the people who run it are awesome, knowledgeable, and kind. I went in for a refill, repair, and new gel polish. The only negative things I have to say about my appointment were that 1) he cut me when taking off my nail that needed repair. I would've like for him to soak me for a few minutes to soften the nail or to take his time. 2) I was charged an additional fee to reshape my nails. Maybe this is common, but in all of the years I've been getting my nails done, I've nerve been charged for a reshape. 3) The color selection is a little below average. Having said that, they had the perfect color for me. Aside from that, I've decided that this will be MY nail shop! I loved the atmosphere and their daughter is adorable. I think we're best friends now lol. Update to my previous review: Since my first appointment, I have been back several times, mostly for broken nails. Tommy fixed a few of them for free and also fit me in last minute. Great customer service. read more

I won't go to any other place to get my nails done anymore. I trust this place and love how clean they are (even prior to covid) It's a husband and wife who do an amazing job! I used to get scared when I'd go get my nails done somewhere else because I'm afraid they don't sanitize everything but here they are so clean, professional, sweet+ friendly, and do a great job. read more

I am giving designer nails 4 stars. I called asking for a full set and was able to drive over and sit right down. I showed Tommy what I wanted and he gave me some options. I chose the powder dip nails and I love them. Feels so much better than regular acrylic nails. I made an appt for my daughter to get her nails done there too. So far I am very happy with the service I received . read more

Tony was amazing! He did my toenails and was done quickly! You need an appointment! Will be coming here from now on (:

I found this hidden treasure after countless searches on Yelp for a good nail shop in the antelope valley. I stick to gel manicures and a place that has a tech who takes their time and listens to your requests. That's what is important to me and I found it. Let me tell you a little about this place. It's a family owned business. Husband and wife run the shop. Ivy is awesome. Her manis are exceptional. Her eye for cute designs are great. Make sure you make an appointment they might be booked. You won't regret it. The gel mani never lifted and they looked great after two weeks. read more

I called and they had a last minute appointment cancel so they were able to squeeze me and my mom in. My mom did a gel manicure and I did acrylics. Both ladies did a great job! My nail tech was very nice, she did everything great and didn't cut me with the drill! That happens to me usually when I go to any other nail salons but she was very careful and didn't rush. The place is clean, quiet and relaxing. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did a great job at replicating it. I will definitely come again. For both my mom and my nails it was $95, not bad pricing. read more
