Really nice people and great service. I had went through 3 months of acrylics and was ready to take them off. Got a gel manicure for a great price. $25 is not bad at all.

Kathy is amazing! I love this place for the prices and quality. Been going for over three months and this place does not disappoint. Kathy will always take on any design I come up with and she does so with grace.

Love Fancy Nails and Spa. The staff is very friendly. I've always been beyond satisfied with my nails!

Came in for a fill and left with 5 different nail shapes on each finger. By far the worst place I've ever gone to.

I never leave reviews but I had to leave one here since the one on Google keep getting taken down. I by far am not the kind of person to try to impact a business reputation but they left me with leaving no stars if I could and with 4 visits because the powder dip that was used would not stay on. Not only did the paint keep chipping off by simply washing my hands or opening a bag but also chipped my natural nails and left bleeding today because how thin they filed down my natural nails. I have worked so hard to manage them and now I have to start over. I have uneven nails because that two last times I went they didn't bother to shape them out. I asked for coffin shape and also asked for a French tip with this color and she did it her way. Almost felt disrespectful. If these ladies are left having to work with cheap powder dip I understand because they don't supply these products but when I went back the third time she told me they have a second powder dip so when this happened they use the stronger one? Why not use the better quality dip in the first place? But even the "better quality" didn't do much. I highly don't recommend this place for good quality service.

I was looking for a place to get my nails done before graduation and since I couldn't get into my fave nail place because I was in Whittier, I stumbled upon Fancy Nails & Spa since it's around the corner from my brother's house. I walked in and was seated right away, there was only one gentleman getting a pedicure this particular day. The ladies were really nice and friendly. I told them I wanted a gel manicure and they handed me a few palettes of color to choose from. Everything was going well but I noticed that when they painted my nails that they leave a tremendous gap between the cuticle and the color, making it appear as if I needed a new manicure. I pointed it out and she fixed some of the nails but not all. Not only that but once the curing had finished I noticed that the diamond shine wasn't so shiny at all. I was in a rush and so I just paid the $20 and left. Was kinda disappointed to see a gel manicure look just like a regular polish. Yes the price is cheaper than other places but the gel manicure isn't what others offer. So why the 3 stars? Well they did an awesome prep and hand massage which I really enjoyed, just the polish was not up to par. Will I be back, definitely not. I will just wait and hit my usual spot.

Long day...what better way to spend the end of it~ XOXOXO Gwen#LaMiradaLifestyle

A place where ladies can come for some girl time, the Owner is adorable, staff is personable, friendly and open to shared giggles~ I LOVE BEING A GIRL Girls are AWESOME

Love Fancy Nails! They are meticulous and I appreciate the extra time taken to shape and get my full sets done right.

Ask for Lisa. She is always busy so make sure and schedule an appointment.

love this place, been going for years! Cathy and Mary are great. Get my nails done every two weeks here, I would make an appointment with any of the ladies on Saturdays because the get really busy!

Shelisa G.

Came here to redeem a gift certificate and I left satisfied. Kathy and Lan did my princess mani/pedi, and listened to every request. Kathy did an exceptional job on my gel manicure. She took her time and made sure it came out to perfection. Definitely would return to see her.

Valentine's Day inspired nail design.

Love my design and nails. My manicurist was polite and friendly. She told me that she could match any pic and design. Love it.

Monica A.

Loved the way she did my nails and the color she did a great job! I came here because of the great reviews they have here on yelp compared to other salons around this area. Linda was the lady that did my nails will definitely make it my nail shop of preference!

You get what you pay for here, and I mean that in the best way possible. This is easily one of the…read morenicest nail salons I've ever visited. The staff is friendly, professional, and incredibly talented. One thing I really appreciate is their transparency--they provide an itemized receipt and let you know the total cost before starting your service, so there are no surprises. The salon itself is beautiful, spacious, and surprisingly quiet, which makes the whole experience feel relaxing from the moment you walk in. The decor is absolutely adorable with pink accents, floral touches, and a chic, feminine aesthetic that makes it feel a little more luxurious than your average nail salon. They have five separate pedicure rooms, a huge selection of colors, and complimentary drinks while you enjoy your service. I always look forward to the mimosas and hot tea. What really stood out to me was how involved the management team is. I saw managers regularly walking around checking on guests and making sure everyone was happy with their service. I also noticed the staff thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the pedicure stations after every customer, which I really appreciated. It's clear they take both customer service and cleanliness seriously. While Milano is definitely on the pricier side, the quality, cleanliness, atmosphere, and customer service make it worth every penny. They even have a rewards program where you can earn points toward future visits. Their nail artists are incredibly skilled and can create everything from simple sets to the latest trendy nail art. I always leave happy with my nails and already looking forward to my next appointment.

I'm leaving this review on behalf of my sisters experience because she was a bride to be and this…read morereally did upset her and made her time more stressful: I came here twice. The first time I came after getting my nails done the nail tech mentioned how I can come in 1-2 weeks to get a refill on my nails. When I came the second time for the refill the person stated that I could not do a refill and that instead I needed to do a completely new set. I am upset that the nail tech lied to me. Never coming to this place again I do not like when the nail tech told me one thing and then charged differently. It is a very predatory tactic. Highly disappointed with my experience. Also for me they put something on my feet and it burned. One of my toes was left with a burn mark. The nail tech also didn't really understand English so it took her awhile to take off the product so I had to dip my foot inside so I wouldn't burn the rest of my toes.

The nail tech, Hannah, is very nice but she is very rough on cleaning the toe nails and I have told her a few times to go softer when she's digging into my nails but I don't think she knows how to be less rough. I have been cut a couple times and so has my friend. Not only that, but she has made my toe nails very uneven both times I've had her. Some nails are longer and she cut other ones shorter. My pinky toenail is short already and she filed it so much that now when she put the nail polish, it's just little like a dot of nail polish was put on since she filed my nail so small. I didn't know her name but was hoping to not get her but I ended up getting her again. Also, every time I have gotten a manicure, they can never get my nail shape right and have to keep reminding them to not do it the way I don't like it. There is no consistency. Another incident I had before was that I tried doing builder gel manicure fill with one of the nail techs that has done builder gel multiple times before and then when I called they said, "no he never does builder gel." I specifically wanted that nail tech because he does designs as well, which he has done for me. I don't know what's going on with all this mix up and change, but it's very frustrating. There is no consistency and just haven't been satisfied the last few times coming here.

They always make me feel welcome and take the time to ensure I'm happy with the final result. One thing I really appreciate is how transparent they are with their pricing. Their prices are also very fair for the quality of work and service you receive, which makes every visit feel worthwhile. The salon is clean, relaxing, and the attention to detail is evident in every appointment. Whether you're looking for a simple manicure or a more intricate design, they consistently deliver beautiful work. If you're looking for a new nail salon in Whittier or the surrounding area, I highly recommend giving A La Mode Nail Spa & Lounge a try. It's been my go-to for the last year, and I always leave happy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for great service, talented technicians, and a welcoming atmosphere. I personally go to Kevin for manicures and Mi for pedicures!

She didn't finish this girls til awhile after that. Frustration is don't make a reservation if you're going to make us wait. If we were 15 min let alone 10 min late to an appt we would be turned away. Then all the other workers decide to give attitude and talk under their breathe. I said no on principle. Mind you one had the nerve to say "she still has awhile for her (my friend) nails to be done" she was done at 4:40...haha Not worth it. Edit since you can't reply - her response is laughable. No one told me who was going to be doing my nails til 4:10. In that time I could observe that tech doing the girls nails next to me who seemed annoyed with her. Regardless, appointments aren't taken serious as 2 people walked in after us and they were started right away. Just poor time management. Had someone initially communicated the delay, it would have been fine, but to think on a busy day you're going to have your customer sit there without any communication is laughable. Hence why I cancelled services. Also, friend was done 15 min after the tech was done doing that girls nails, so she would have had to wait over 30+ min for me. No thanks. Just accept the mess up and move on. My issue is the lack of communication and making it seem like it's my bad for your mistake. Do better for those that attempt your salon again. ***also, my friend had to go back into the shop to have her nail fixed by another tech right after, forgot to mention this...but okay***
