One and done . I will not be returning. The sanitation is poor. They clean the pedicure tubs with the same sponge and towel. Recycle germs ! They just rinse the manicure bowls (no antibacterial cleaner). I had to ask them to use new tools to do my pedicure as they did not wash them or grab new tools after the person who received a pedicure before me. I had the experience of Mimi as my nail tech. She ask me to choose a color, so I chose a soft pink ( my go to color ) and she grabbed the colors saying, no baby that's too light. She then chose a color. I responded with a no that's ok, I don't really like that color. She made a face , then she began roughly tugging my hand and drilling my nails. Wtf right ? As she continue to drill she nip my cuticle to the point of burning. I informed her she was being too rough and she cut me, she said it's because I have to cut your cuticles down. I get my nails done often and I know for a fact you do not have to be cut to shorten the cuticle. At this point she is so upset , she's frowning. She began to speak with her husband who responded gentle , gentle in English. I ask if I could see another color sample ring. She informs me the other colors are chrome. I tell her I like one of the colors on the chrome. She says , no chrome. That's too expensive , it'll be another $20. I told her that was fine. She said no , I don't think chrome . I asked her why she didn't want to do the chrome , would it take too long ? She said it takes a while. Her husband then began to get the chrome colors. I told him it was ok , I do not want her to mess up my nails , so I'll get what she knows how to do. Then , her husband became irritated putting the chrome down and doing s heavy sigh. My nails and feet turned out okay . But, not good enough for the attitude. read more

Kayla is the best. She's been doing my nails for years and has always done a great job. Check her out.

I was here a few months ago Its rare to find a place where they aren't pushing you for all the extras. The owner was very nice advised us on doing gel but didn't push. I loved the gel! Wont get regular polish again. This place is clean, they use new sponges and everything is disposed after. They take their time to get it done right. I paid 32 for a pedi and gel mani. I for sure will return. read more

Kayla is an excellent tech, her attention to detail and customer service is impeccable. Absolutely the best!

My friend and I have been looking for a nice place to get our nails done close to home and I found this place on yelp with great reviews. We decided to try it out and we are so happy we did. We called in and the nice lady on the phone told me she only had 2 people working today so it might take a little longer then usual. We weren't in a rush and decided to go anyway. They have several chairs and a sofa for seating. There are 4 or 5 chairs to get your pedicure done and about 6 workstations for manicures. I really like the Gel Polish because it lasts for at least 2-3 weeks with no chipping. They had PLENTY of different color choices. Different hues of red, pink, green, glitter and even yellow! The lady assisting us was super nice and did a great job. Even better, she spoke English and was able to communicate with us. If you are have sensitive skin then the UV light "drying boxes" may not be a good idea because it can get kinda hot , not uncomfortable but definitely on the warm side. All in all we had a fabulous time and the gel manicure is only $20. What a steal! :) read more

No complaints with the pedi... it was so relaxing!!! However, my fill felt rushed and I think there was a miscommunication on how I wanted my nails painted... There was another customer there and honestly I wouldnt mind waiting until she was done with her to work on me... but instead she tried to do 2 things at once... Mimi also told her husband (in vietnamese) that shes going to charge me $15 dollars for my fill because it was a complicating task.... (I asked for my nails to be shorter and shaped the same) As a nail technician, how is filing nails considered a hard task? Mimi recommended that my shape had to be more round/almond since its shorter... I had my nails short and pointy before... so I know it CAN be done... Shit, I wouldn't mind filing my own nails... I probably would of done it better and quicker... Don't think I'll be back again... Btw... Mimi didn't accept the 10% discount for checking in on yelp. She said it was from the previous owner and doesn't have access to take it off of yelp or she didn't want to apply it to my check.... read more

I've been debating this review for a while now. In a way, I want to keep Mimi a secret from the rest of you. But I decided to stop being selfish and tell you how great her work is. I've gotten gel manicures in several locations (both cheap and pricey nail salons) and they would usually last about a week before chipping and cracking. I was starting to believe that I just had shitty nail beds that couldn't hold gel (or regular polish for that matter). and then I stumbled across exotic nails and decided to try a new shop. When I got there Mimi decided to take me even though it was late and her hands were ridiculously exhausted from continuous manicures all week (nye week). I got both a pedi and gel mani the pedi lasted over a month and my gel manicure lasted a whole 3 weeks! I do have weird nail beds but Mimi took her time with my nails and perfected my tiny nails. Some words of advice Mimi is the only manicurist on staff and she has a lot of clients so be prepared to wait. Believe me, it's worth the wait. read more

Exotic Nails & Spa - My Feb mani! - Nail Salons Near Me - Paramount, California

They take their time to do a good pedicure and is never excessively full which is great. The pricing for pedicures is great as well.

I absolutely loved the time and effort that they put into me today. I got a gel manicure and pedicure and got my eyebrows waxed. They were able to take out an ingrown I had and they were gentle and made sure they got everything out. I would 10/10 recommend. read more

Mimi is hands down the best when it comes to a natural shape and beautiful paint job. The wait can be long (up to 2 hours) but she will let you know if it's best to come back at a later time which is great. She is the only one I trust to keep the health and natural shape of my nails that I love. read more

kayla is the best! she was referred to me by a friend and i never went to another nail tech since. she does the best manicures -- she is very gentle and makes sure that you are happy with the shape and color. she is also good with pedicures! one time she was not available, so kim assisted me with a pedi and also did a great job. i will never go to another nail salon, i am extremely satisfied with the services here :) read more

Love this place. Clean and everyone is super friendly. Kayla does wonderful work. Highly recommend.

Updated review I have been coming here for 6 months and am still in love with the place. Mimi is the best and so nice. Unfortunately they are understaffed but it is worth the wait. THEY TAKE THEIR time to make sure your nails are done to perfection. I was afraid of a gel main since my experience with my previous salon in SFV. They would sand the nail down thinner in order to do the gel. However this salon does not do that, they only use the sander to remove a small portion of the gel and use the acetone and after a few min it comes right off. I love that they do so well with their job and are careful. read more

So happy that Kayla has her own nail place now. I have been her customer for 4 years. She does the best job with mani & pedi. Also the best at eyebrow waxing . Highly recommend! read more

I literally just got home from this place and I have to say I'm never going back I've always seen Mimi (the owner) be rude to other customers and I didn't like that but I kept going because I was used to that place but today was the worst she's the rudest and she's going to end up losing all her clientele because of that. I asked her if she had a peachy color and she's rudly (kinda yelling) said "I dont know you have to look yourself" understanding there's a lot of colors and she might not know all of them but then I went to pick my color for my toes and she started Yelling at me not to because she had the color already... Um are you serious? I can't pick my own color after that she finished my manicure very rude as if she didn't want to work on me anymore very messy and unprofessional as if it was me who yelled at her. STAY AWAY never again I don't even know why I left tip now that I think about it -__- read more

NEVER AGAIN! This is the worst nail place I've ever been to. And I've been to BAD ones. I came here at 3:45 pm it took them 2 hours to get to me when there was only 3 customers present. And then one walked in after me and they were took her in first, she wasn't even an appointment, she was walk-in too. They had a very nasty attitude also. read more

I am so happy for Kayla! She now owns her own nail spa! I've been going to Kayla for years and I did not hesitate to follow her to her new place! She does an excellent job on both my manicure and pedicure. She knows exactly the shape I want. She's very attentive and takes good care of you. Kayla is fast! My manicure is done in less than an hour! Her place is a hidden gem in Paramount. It's small and relaxing and not hectic at all. Please refer your friends to her! read more

I would definitely give them a ZERO and i will never waste a dime at this place.. how can you tell a mother that her AUTISTIC child is making you uncomfortable.. the child wasn't doing anything but rocking back and forth while sitting in the chair, if you cannot treat people fairly, especially ones with disabilities you shouldn't have a business. read more

I was refused service even though I called 20 minutes before and I told the lady I was getting a gel manicure, pedicure and someone wants a full set. She said, come on I do not like setting appointments because if I get busy before you come you may get mad. I said, ok. Are you busy? She said, it's just 2 people come on. So I dashed there and walked into the salon. It was only 2 people working a man and a lady. (I am sure that was the lady who said come in.) The man said, their busy. I gripped a little and the lady turned around because she knew I was the person she spoke with. So I never had a chance to experience the service. read more

I decided to try a new place so I came here. The person who did my pedicure did a good job until I noticed when I got home my toe felt a bit sore and had a bump, now a day later the bump has liquid coming out. Not sure if they were a bit too rough that it cut me or something or just unsanitary (which is what I think) I never leave reviews but I felt the need to with this situation read more

Rude owners and employees that work their. They lied about the wait time so they wouldn't help me.. I felt discriminated. I will never go to that place ever again So then I came to another nail shop were they're really nice name LE BELLE read more

The first time I went here, it was great. There was hardly a wait and the owner was able to give me these gorgeous grey coffin gel nails. I swore to everyone that this was my go to nail salon from then on. The second time I went, the wait was about an hour I would say. The owner jumps back and forth helping other clients with their nails. She finally got around to me and was able to re fill and shape my acrylics into coffins again. At this point, I was the only one in the salon and after reshaping my nails she passed me to another lady so that she would paint my nails and then left the salon for a break. There must have been miscommunication when the owner told her my color number because it took her 4 tries to get my color correct. I didn't remember the number because the owner chose it for me, so it difficult to help her as well. After trying the third color, the lady was upset for not being able to find the right color due to the wrong number written on the nail bottle. (More to explain but I left the salon with an unappealing color because everyone she placed a color on my nail that wasn't the color I chose, she would have to file it down) My third time, I called in at 5 to see if they can take me in because I knew I was going to get there at 630 & fortunately they told me to come in anyway. I got there at 545 surprisingly, and when I got in they told me it would be a two hour wait and asked if that was okay. Then after, they told me they can't take me in anymore after waiting 15 min already. They are unreliable and impatient. And it's not worth the decency of the nice nails. You can def find a better place with a better experience. read more

Love this place!! Great mani-pedi. Good service, had my pedi done by Jenny she took her time. My gel mani was done by Henry he did an awesome job. Only thing next time I will ask for a second coat on my gel polish. I will continue to go this nail shop. read more

I'm sorry I would totally address her by her name but I don't know it. She is one of two ladies who work there. This is the second time going to her. I did the chrome nails and she absolutely did a great job. She takes her time with her work. I been to other places around the area and they always end up doing a horrible job. Nails will lift, break off or just look super thick without shape...I ask for coffin and they wouldn't look like coffin nails. She however, does an amazing job at what she does. She is very dedicatedly her work. New fav place. read more

Love it!! Mimi is the best, she takes her time and is picky about her work which is great because I don't have to be the picky one. She seems to be the only Nail tech with an assistant who isn't as great as her but she helps Mimi out. Why such high ratings? this salon may not have all the bells and wistles the quality is where it matters. The nails are always perfect and nothing less than perfect. I strongly recommend you make an appointment since there is not a lot of employees. read more
