Amazing and friendly service. I make sure to visit Dream Nails whenever I'm in the LA area. Highly recommend

I'm so happy to have found Dream Nails! Katie always does my Dip nails and she does an EXCELLENT job. She is efficient and does great quality work. Katie is also hilarious and a joy to be around! I have been very happy with my pedicures as well. Katie only hires quality nail techs, you can't go wrong with anyone you see. Prices are also very reasonable for the location. I tell all my friends to go here! I recommend calling ahead one day or so for an appointment because they can get busy! read more

They charged me $10 to just remove my regular nail polish and then Chrome was $20. Normally nail polish removal especially if it's just regular polish is included and chrome is $10. I ended up paying $77 before tip for a basic pedicure with added chrome and gel... read more

Usually, I don't post any reviews, however Katie and her team have been amazing and flexible with my schedule. This was my experience. I had an absolutely amazing experience at Dream Nails! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a calming, clean atmosphere. Katie's team is incredibly professional, friendly, and detail-oriented--it's clear they truly care about their craft and their clients. With previous nail salons, the energy was negative and felt rushed for the next client. Dream nails ensures that customers take their time to make sure every detail was perfect--from shaping to cuticle care have a great selection of colors and top-quality products. What really sets this salon apart is the relaxing vibe and consistent quality. Everything was hygienic, the tools were sanitized properly, and the massage chairs during the pedicure were a dream! If you're looking for a nail salon that combines skill, cleanliness, and exceptional customer service, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to treat themselves! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Dream Nails! I called last minute, and the owner was kind enough to fit me in -- so accommodating and genuinely sweet. She gave me one of the best dip manicures. The salon has recently been updated and looks clean, and welcoming . I'm so glad I found this place -- My sister and I already booked our next appointment! read more

Looking for a new nail shop. Very disappointed with the nail work they did. $60.00 for gel manicure, no cubicle cleaning, no hand massage and nail lady kept getting up to work on others, answering phones and talking to customers, while I just sat there waiting. Will NOT come back here again. read more

I am so happy with the way this cute summer nail set turned out! Thank you dream nails for doing the best as always! read more

Dream Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

The ABSOLUTE best nail salon I have ever been too! Katie the owner is an absolute angel and I LOVE her! She is so kind and accommodating, and makes sure that all my needs are always taken care of! I have very sensitive feet, I'm not ticklish or anything but the skin on my feet is just very thin so I am always scared to get a pedicure and oh my gosh, T is the BOMB! She is so sweet and kind and has never once hurt my toes and that is very important to me, I am allergic to gel polish and acrylic so I get a regular pedicure and I promise you when I say it is the best pedicure I have ever had in my life. I have never met someone who can apply regular polish so perfectly! I also enjoy chatting with her, and she genuinely takes the time to get to know her clients which is so nice! Natalie does my dip nails and they are always perfect! They probably have the largest collection of dip (SNS) powder that I have ever seen so I never feel I have to get the same color twice. Natalie is kind and very quick and concise which I LOVE! The shape of the nails are always on point, and my natural nails have become so long under her care! Katie always makes sure that they have the best of the best, and is constantly adding new colors or polish, dips and gels, the salon is VERY clean and tidy and always smells good. The floors are clean and the chairs are nice and the pedicure bowls are very pretty! The walls are all clean as well and each station for nails is always tidy. I will never stop going here, they have earned a customer for life with me! read more

Always amazing!! I've been coming here for over 3 years and all the staff are very talented and caring people. I recommend if you're in the area! Parking is tight so make sure you come with enough time before your appointment ! read more

Simply the best! - I started coming to Dream Nails while living in the South Bay, now, having moved away, I am not exaggerating when I say I drive an hour and a half for Tran and Katie; my nails always last a full month and have never broken or chipped not even once (I gave gone here for many years). They have exceptional attention to detail and always ensure I am completely happy/satisfied. I have tried many places and Dream Nails is hands down, without a doubt, no comparison the absolute best! I 100% recommend Dream Nails 12/10 read more

STAY AWAY. I live right up the street from this salon, and it should be my go-to for nails, but I consistently have had REALLY awful experiences. Especially relating to timing. The last time I was here, I had to wait OVER an hour for my scheduled appointment. I hadn't been back since, but my daughter wanted to get a manicure and pedicure as a treat after a long sports weekend. I've already realized that appointments mean nothing here, so I didn't even bother. I made sure to walk in with my daughter and explain what she needed - a regular pedicure and a gel manicure. The owner told me it would be "no problem". 2 HOURS LATER, she still did not have her nails done. They let her sit there alone. She said everyone ignored her and let all the "appointments" go before her. Even though the owner told me that she could do her nails! No one mentioned to me that they were so busy with appointments that she wouldn't be done until after 7pm. To ignore a young girl just because you can and because you know she won't say anything is unacceptable. I finally just had to go get her - she had homework and it was a school night. We will NEVER go back. There are SO many other great Hermosa nail salons where I have never had ANY issues. I'm not sure why scheduling is so difficult here. Just go down the street by Trader Joe's or anywhere on Hermosa Ave. They're all amazing. read more

Natalie is the best. Dip nails last 4 weeks without corners lifting or chipping. She shapes them perfectly and I like how she removes them. Your fingers aren't saturated in acetone. read more

Dream Nails - These are two weeks old. But I wanted to make sure I wrote a review for Natalie. So happy my friend recommended me to Dreams. - Nail Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I've been coming here every ~3 weeks for the last 6 months and could not be happier! BACK STORY: I've been getting gel manicures since college but noticed over time that my nails were getting really thin and brittle from the harsh removal process (i.e., soaking in acetone then scraping the gel off the nail bed). I tried acrylics on a whim one day a few years ago which DESTROYED my nails and I stopped getting manicures for about a year to let my nails heal. Before restarting the manicures, I researched a lot and decided to do dip manicures because they were supposedly healthier than gel... but I had no idea how to take care of my dip nails and would get my dip nails redone (i.e., taken off then reapplied) every single time which left my nails battered once more and left me thinking that dip wasn't much different from gel. Fast forward to last year and I'm back to doing gel manicures again which is taking its toll on my nails (tale as old as time). I go to a different nail salon near my parents' for some holiday nails and they specialize in "dip with gel." I've never heard of this before and inquire... and basically they put dip powder over your nail bed, put gel OVER that dip powder, and then every time you come in, they just take the gel (that's over the dip powder) off and then put a fresh coat of gel over the dip powder again, which leaves your nail bed intact. GUYS........ THIS WORKS!!!! My original dip from the holiday season lasted 5 months (!!!) and that entire time, I came here every ~2.5-3 weeks for a "dip fill w/ gel" which consists of: - Taking off any gel that's been applied over the dip powder - Fixing any lifting in the dip powder - Filling in the nail that had grown with more dip powder - Applying new gel over the dip fill I usually call for an appointment same day and they can usually squeeze me in that afternoon, but best bet is to make an appointment in advance (I should probably be doing that) since there are only two people who can do dip: Katie (the owner, she's really fast) and Natalie (so so soooo sweet, she's super meticulous)! PARKING: Super small parking lot in front of the store that's shared with a few other places, free street parking on PCH otherwise. I've been able to park in their lot ~50-75% of the time. read more

I'm weird about getting my nails done and I've never liked the experience until I came here. It's a great community they have with their manicurists and their customers. They also have an uncanny way of knowing what you want before you even know yourself and they've helped get me out of my comfort zone of just doing a clear coat. I recommend this place to everyone I meet, especially if you're interested in nail art! Every time I go in, I enjoy it and they do an an amazing job each time. Whether you're a nails enthusiast or a simpleton like me, these guys are the best read more

I have been going to Katie for 10 years. She is absolutely the best. She is the best and fastest nail tech. I'm always very pleased and happy when I leave. She is very talented and skilled. The shop is very clean a wide variety of colors to choose from. Thuy gives the best pedicure. read more

I was looking for a new nail salon and was very encouraged by the reviews. My experience was disappointing. Both mani and pedi nipped my skin. I expect them to be sufficiently experienced that this wouldn't happen. After the first round of polish on my fingers, there were two nails where the polish was quite far from the cuticle, as though the nail had grown out. When I got home I realized that many fingers had polish around them and hadn't been cleaned. And they didn't remove the dead skin around the nail, of which I have a fair amount. Trying to decide if I should give them another chance. read more

I discovered Dream Nails when I was looking for a new salon for my dip powder and pedicures. I wanted something local, great work, and not unreasonably expensive. Well Dream Nails totally knocked it out of the park! Dream Nails is hands down, the best nail spa in the South Bay. And to make it even sweeter, they have great prices too. Don't waste your time and money elsewhere. You won't regret it. read more

I loved when Dream Nails was Nancy's Nails, especially since it's within walking distance of my home, so I wanted to love it too. I gave them 3 tries, and I'm done. It felt that if I wasn't getting the service that the manager wanted me to get, then she was very rude to my daughter and me. She rushed us, and my daughter was charged full price while not receiving full service. Very uncomfortable vibes. Mainly coming from the woman running things. Her employees seem lovely, just repressed due to her unkindness. read more

I have been coming to this Hermosa Beach salon for 3 years, and it's even better today than it was before. The owner, Katie, is so personable and cares so much about both long-time clients and newbies. She is an excellent manicurist, and does outstanding work with acrylic, powder, gel, and airbrushing. She's the BEST! Tran and Le are fantastic pedicurists, and they take care of my tired feet and toes with such care. They are excellent with any of their pedicure packages, especially callous remover and hot stone massage. I absolutely love their massage chairs, and wish I had one at home! Parking is advisable in the lot or on 5th. Like any salon, prices increased slightly with inflation. But you can get a gel fill mani and pedi with gel for about $100, which is still a great price. read more

I'm sad to make this review bc I think the women here are kind. I've been here four times, but the last two times have been MEDIOCRE WORK that took TWO HOURS. I'm sorry but two hours for a basic gel manicure and regular pedicure is irritating. I get they might be under-staffed so only one person could help me, but they told me to come at 5:30pm, I waited 20min to be seen, they took two other gel customers before me, and they did rushed work. Not returning. read more

Exceptional service and long lasting results! I will not go to any another nail salon. The staff at Dream Nails is all incredibly sweet, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Katie, T, Tran and Natalie are all amazing. They will treat you like family. Not only are they friendly, but their skill in nail care is top-notch. The quality of their work ensures that my nails last longer than any other salon I've visited. I can go at least 3 weeks with my dip and they actually could last longer if I didn't start picking. I highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for both great service with sweet ladies and nails that last. read more

I'm very picky when it comes to my nails bc I've been painting my own nails for a long time but now that I get them done I'm so happy to have found Natalie at Dream Nails!

Excellent job by owner Katie treat costumers like family, always care for costumers first. Keep it up the good work.

The experience was okay, I felt like the staff wasn't as accommodating to do different designs or styles they seemed inconvenienced in a way and weren't as warm and friendly as other salons I've been to. The few pros: they were quick and timely with appointments and the cost is more affordable than other salons in the area. read more

Always a great experience here! The owner is very friendly and hardworking. Will never go to another place ever again. Happy and returning customer read more

Great service and beautiful nail work! Told the manicurist to have design liberty-- she was independent in her idea and it turned out great. Attention to detail**! Pedicurista was very gentle and delivered great care. Although I chose the lowest priced package, she made sure to deliver great and non-rushed service. There's not a lot of salon-pep talk because that's shared amongst established clients and the nail techs but some cheerful conversations to ease drop into or zone out of with your earphones. read more

Just moved to LA and was looking for a good nail salon in the Redondo/Hermosa beach area. Came across this salon and since it had good reviews, I decided to try it. I called in to set up an appt for a mani/pedi and they had one available for a Friday morning. Came in and The staff were friendly. I noticed that most of the staff know their customers very well. It was a good vibe. I love that they have a lot of options for gel color. They were very detailed in cleaning and applying my nail colors. I over tipped for my first time there but felt that that staff deserved it. Will definitely be coming back here. I'm happy that I found a good nail salon in my area on my first try! read more

We made appointments for 3 pedicures on a Sunday afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised that they were ready for us with the chairs next to each other. The woman doing my pedicure was nice but it just wasn't that great. I paid $60 for a gel pedicure with hot stone massage, she didn't really massage any of the muscles on my leg or foot so it just felt kinda interesting to have my foot and leg get a sloppy hand job while she was just looking around the room. Made me actually giggle to myself because it just seemed silly. Not worth the extra money. 6/10 toes have either too much gel or she didn't let it cure because there are pockets, like what I showed in the photo. I'm just happy it's winter so I don't have to stare at my toes in flip flops because it would drive me insane read more

I live in Redondo Beach and have been going to get my nails done in Culver City. I've been wanting to find somewhere closer and am SO happy I found this place! Dream Nails was clean, not too crowded, and had lots of colors to pick from. Everyone working there was extremely friendly and helpful. They were gentle and took their time to make sure everything looked good. Only indoor mani pedis are available. They space customers out so you're not sitting next to a stranger. Employees all wear masks. I did not notice them wiping them chairs after use but I'm vaccinated and don't mind as much anymore. * They have lots of customers so I would recommend making an appointment! read more

When I arrived the place was very clean and organized. I was started on within 5 minutes. I couldn't be more happy with the results. My nail tech trimmed off the perfect amount on my fingers that I requested. He was done with my gel mani within 35 min. Even though I'm sad about my nail tech, this is the first salon that actually listened to what I wanted AND did it in a timely manner. Thank you so much! Can't wait for my next set here!! read more
