Annie has been doing my nails for over a year now and I honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. She's so talented, consistent, and always makes my nails look perfect every time! Also, the salon itself is so pretty. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail, and the whole experience always feels so luxurious and welcoming. read more

Small update: Quick update after two more visits: I've continued to enjoy my experiences here. I've had different nail techs each time, and while each had their own style, they all respected my preferences and reference images while adding their own artistic touch when appropriate. I did notice some differences in technique and quality, which was helpful because now I know I can request specific techs depending on the look I want. Overall, I still really enjoy the pricing, atmosphere, and service, and I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. Summary of original review: Had a great experience here for a gel manicure with an airbrush design. The staff was welcoming, the nail tech was friendly, and they were able to bring my idea to life for a fair price of $92 before tip. While the final colors differed slightly from my reference photo, I still loved the result and appreciated the overall professionalism. As a male client, I also felt completely comfortable and welcomed throughout the visit. read more

First visit at DTLA Nails since it opened and I was so pleased with my pedicure. I was able to call and walk-in without any issues. The salon is cute, bright, and clean, and it also smelled good. I got the Silver Pedicure ($48) and it was a great experience. My nail tech Rose is so sweet and motherly. She's extremely meticulous and thorough from start to finish. It was worth every penny! I will come here for my monthly pedicure now. read more

Came here on a Friday and the girl at the front desk is so nice and sweet! We had an appointment and we're running late and she just moved us over to a later time with no issue! This place is clean and designed very nicely. My daughter LOVED her nails, and she ended up also getting her eyebrows done. I love the natural shape and clean look. read more

I've been wanting to try DTLA Nails for a while, since they're here in Downtown Los Angeles. I was pleasantly surprised with the very nice decor of the establishment ;-). I was greeted by Annie and she had Rose do my manicure. I have to say... I'm hooked!!!! Lol. Not only did she do my nails better than what I'm accustomed to, SHE EXCEEDED my expectations! I'M VERY PICKY! NOT ONE COMPLAINT... Everyone there is nice and friendly. QUALITY WORK, GREAT PRICING, AND A VERY RELAXING EXPERIENCE. Now I'm going back in 2 weeks to have a gel pedicure.... I know Rose is gonna hook me up! Thanks read more

Don't waste your time or money here! Horrible service AND customer service. Upon sitting down they already had an unpleasant demeanor.... Then the nails don't even make up for it: They're WORSE! Spend your money with people who actually know how to do nails. ZERO STARS!!!!! read more

this was my second time going Julie nailbyj93 did an amazing job with my nails from the shape , to the custom design, thank you so much ! Also the guy in the first pedicure chair did great , I loved both times he did them I will be back . Real review my instagram is @keepingUpWithTheGrants read more

Went for the first time today. Called late afternoon on Saturday and was able to walk in with minimal waiting. Got the Diamond pedicure and it was amazing. It has been months since I've had a pedicure and I was truly in need of the whole shebang. I also got extensions on my big toenails since they were only about 3/4 grown back from losing them over the summer . My feet have looked so busted since the summer, but by some miracle Kevin got my toes lookin fresh and cute once again. I like to change my nails at least three times/month so I use high quality press ons, but get super plain manicures to keep my cuticles down and cleaned up. I also hadn't done this in months either. Annie gave me the best manicure and cut and filed my nails super short and also performed a miracle on my cuticles. I will definitely be going back! Side notes: 1.) Decor/Aesthetic is really nice. 2.) Super clean. 3.) Everything is brand new. 4.) Staff are all really nice. I live in DTLA and it's a short walk, but worth noting there's a decent amount of street parking within a few blocks and a few paid parking lots across/beside. read more

Highly recommend! Ambiance is great, clean salon, and relaxing spot. Great service and kind employees. Fair prices. My new to DTLA nail spot! Shoutout Kevin! read more

I have been here twice and have not been satisfied either time. I just recently moved to the area and wanted to find a nail spot near my new apartment. Both times I made an appointment ahead on their website and booked for a builder gel manicure. The first time I went was on a lunch break and I ended up having to wait for awhile despite my appointment. The nail tech was not very gentle with my nails and ripped one of the plastic fix nails off instead of soaking it off, causing my nail to tear into the pink attached area. The manicure turned out okay but only lasted 2 weeks before nails started breaking and peeling (normally I can go 4-5 weeks). I decided to give them one more shot and made an appointment for a full new builder gel set instead of a fill to give them the benefit of the doubt with the longevity of the manicure. This time I went on a Saturday soon after they opened to make sure I didn't have to wait long. I ended up waiting 40 minutes despite having an appointment. It was obvious the nail tech felt rushed because she did not do a good job. She made my cuticle bleed, which has happened in the past so it's not a big deal, but she said it's my fault for having dry cuticles lol. Very uncalled for when I didn't even say anything when it happened. She also told me I only needed a fill not a new set, and I said okay because it seemed she was busy and probably wanted to save time. The manicure seemed different and I found out after that she didn't clean acrylic on me instead of gel! She also ground my nails above the polish down so much they're a little tender and red even a few weeks after the manicure. The polish turned out a little lumpy and uneven and she left chunks of acrylic under my nails beds which have been irritating my nails since. Overall I have had an awful experience at this salon. I have been to a number of nail salons and private nail techs over the years and this was by far the worst experience I've had. I wouldn't trust them to do my nails again and caution anyone else who is thinking about trying them out. read more

Worth every penny ! They are very attentive to their customers, very little wait time, and I love that the staff actually takes their time on your nails. I also love that it's clean and pretty inside. read more

Walking in, the vibe is really nice. It's bright, clean, and nicely organized. The concierge was kind. I asked her if they accepted walk ins she said yes it would be a 15 min wait. I waited about 35-40 mins before my service began. They sat me next to a loud speaker, but I enjoyed the music selection so that was fine. I got a silver tier pedicure with gel polish. My service was standard, only one of my legs was massaged and she only put lotion on one of my legs. They then did a manicure service. This was also okay, standard nail shop manicure. Nothing really wowed me about this place. The staff all around was very nice. I paid $110 for both services which I feel is steep for what I received. I'm not sure if I would be back. read more

I can't tell you enough good things about DTLA NAILS. It is not a typical nail shop that can feel like a factory and you are simply a dollar sign. I followed two expert nail techs here from another salon and they can't make me happy enough doing both my manicure and pedicure . There is no rushing and they want me to be happy. They will tell me exactly how long a style and type of polish should last and basically guarantee it. They are such experts and they have years of experience. I never just listened to other nail techs as they are usually only advising you of what works for them and their piggy bank but Annie is truly an artist and professional in all ways. Show her what you want and she'll tell you what's possible, how long it should last and how it will look with your skin tone and anything els to help. She is a detailed artist and up on the latest styles. Most of the customers are younger and want demanding styles. If it's going to be too expensive or not practical she'll tell you. I have never trusted a nail tech like Annie and her sidekick Kevin who does my pedicure. He is highly skilled as well and a pleasure to work with. A different Kevin is the manager who is a charming gentleman. The salon is brand new and very clean as well. I believe their prices are competitive but double check. You couldn't go wrong from everything I've seen and experienced at DTLA NAILS. read more

I live 10 minutes walking distance from DTLA nails and couldn't recommend them enough!! I am SUPER picky with my nails and Julie Nha went above and beyond (highly recommend her). I have a long nail bed that's curved and it can be quite difficult to shape / file my nails but Julie did a perfect job. I will keep coming back to her 100% as my solid consistent nail tech! The salon is also GORGEOUS! So clean, tidy, and the atmosphere is classy and beautiful. Services: Acrylic Fill with Design Price: $100 read more

A woman named Annie ultimately saved my experience, but I still felt it was important to share what happened today in case anyone has a similar issue. I have very delicate toenails after years of gel pedicures, and when I arrived I let the technician assigned to me -- I believe his name was Kevin -- know that my nails were thin and still healing. He clipped them quickly, not very gently, but I didn't say anything. Then he took out a very large, coarse nail file -- the type typically used for filing gels or acrylics -- and began filing my natural nails. It was extremely painful, but I tried to stay still and not make a scene. He told me I was "moving too much" and seemed irritated. I apologized and reminded him that my nails were delicate. I must have moved again out of discomfort, because he abruptly stood up, announced loudly that he "wasn't going to do this anymore," and walked to the back of the salon. The entire salon turned to look, and it was honestly embarrassing and confusing. Thankfully, a kind woman named Annie came over shortly after and offered to take over. She used a normal file, checked in with me multiple times, and made sure everything felt okay -- and it did. There was no pain at all. She was wonderful and completely turned my experience around. I'm sharing this because it was uncomfortable and unnecessarily upsetting. I was made to feel like I was the problem for reacting to pain, which didn't feel fair. I do not recommend booking with Kevin, and I would strongly suggest calling ahead to make sure you aren't assigned to him. read more

I've come here 3 times now and I get a hard gel overlay. I always leave absolutely loving my nails. The shape is always perfect and the customer service is great. I always walk in and never really wait longer than 15 mins to be seen. My natural nails are thriving due to the care of the nails techs! read more

They do an amazing job. Haven't had 1 nail tech that's didn't know what they were doing. Definitely my new nail spot.

made an appointment for my mom they did a nice job. Will def recommend them very professional and attentive .

Amazing service. We randomly came across this place while visiting. They treated us like queens and so kind and sweet to my 9 year old. She showed them a pic and they did it exactly like the picture. Price was as expected. I would definitely return if I were in the area. Ivy did my daughter's nails- thanks Ivy! read more

Horrible experience both times I've been. This time I had an appointment at noon, after waiting 30 minutes in a chair and no one coming to start, another person walked in with an appointment and they immediately Went and helped them while I had been sitting there for 30 minutes. I ended up walking out & taking my business elsewhere. This is the second time I've experienced this there. Extremely unorganized & unprofessional. Would not recommend at all. read more
