My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends by getting their nails done and having ice cream at Wanderlust. Scheduling an appointment for 12 girls on a Saturday was surprisingly easy! I just want to say thank you to the staff for accommodating her birthday and for being so patient with such a big group. Also, they offered a great price for kids' manicures and pedicures. We'll definitely be back for a mother-daughter nail day! read more

It has been quite a while since I came back to this Fancy Nails, because I moved away to the north side of Los Angeles. I still haven't found a place that I like as much as Fancy Nails. I was happy to find that Nancy still works here, as she was my go-to when I lived nearby. As usual, her gel manicure was excellent, and now, 20 days later, although my nails are growing out, they have not chipped or worn away. From far away, you would think I still had a perfect manicure! A guy named David or Danny (sorry- I can't quite remember his name) did my French pedicure and callous removal, and he did a great job. He's not talkative, but that's not my vibe anyway. Some recent reviews had made my cautious coming in, but I am happy to report the quality of my manicure and pedicure were excellent. I had an appointment and was surprised to see the place so desolate when I walked in, but I walked out feeling great! read more

This place sucks pretty much. My nails turned out horrible. The first nail tech I got she did the shaping pretty good but when it came to the colors and design she messed up. I usually go to a different nails salon in cerrito but this place is bad. I got a different nail tech to finish up and I thought she would make it look like the reference but no. She did okay I feel bad but they did look like trash. The First Lady left me with cuts and shaped my nails way too hard. The place also smells kind of bad. The interior was nice though. I paid 50$ for a fill and bleeding cuticles. read more

This place I thought was good at first idk what happened. Sucks now. First they sent me to one lady then she was ok but the second was horrible. I asked her Initially if she could do this design and she said yes and just did all the lines horrible. They're cricked and she didn't even put lotion on my hands damn. Never again. read more

Super disappointed with the quality of work here. I was getting a powder fill and asked if it's possible to do French tips. I was told it's not a problem. I'm pretty new to powder manicures so I trusted the experts. My nails turned out terrible. You can clearly see the old layer of powder under my nails. Had I known that'd be the case, I would've gladly gone for a different color option. Why not warn me if French is not a good option for powder nails?! Now it just look like I have fungus growing under my nails. How could a professional look at that work and be happy with what they did? Such a let down :( read more

Great! After being let down by another salon I did a 'walk in' with these guys and was really happy. Was thorough but quick and I was really happy with the price. I would go again. Other bonuses... lots of parking and plenty of other stores so you can pick up groceries etc all in one tripS what's not to love! read more

My fiancé and I have been going here for about 4 years now. Everyone is great they accommodate you even if you're just a walk in.

My friend just had her pedicure here on Thursday and with 36 hours her toes were inflammatory! She went to the doctors office and they told her she contracted a severe fungal infection from the pedicure. The doctor tokd her that she needs to remove all of her toe nails and then laser the skin! Her nails won't grow back for 6 months!! She called this establishment and of course they denied it and told her she had an infection already. Smh. Be careful going to this place and please either go to another place or have them sterilize all tools in front of you!! read more

Went yesterday to get a gel pedicure as the lady was cleaning around my big toenail I guess she must have nicked the sides because after I put my foot in the water I felt a stinging sensation so I knew then she must have done so. I didn't pay it any mind then. Today I noticed in fact she did nick both sides of my big toe and one side is slightly swollen..smh I'm so annoyed because I was starting to like this place since their prices are reasonable and in the past they do a good job. Not sure if I'll be coming back here again because now I'm paranoid about them hurting me read more

Today, I went for a regular manicure. Halfway my manicure, my manicurist asked 'You want to pay now?' I responded 'Can I pay after?' She asked again 'You know money?Pay?' Again, I responded 'I'll pay after the service.' She asked me again the 3rd time. I still said after. She said that she just doesn't want my nails to be messed up when i get the money. I said it will dry. After, I still said that I will pay after, she made the service as fast as she can. She also spoke in another language to her coworkers after. Then after, she asked 'Is this your first time here?' I said 'It's my second time and on the first time I came, they did not ask me for the payment until after.' I just wish that their workers will listen and act professional. I left feeling bad. read more

This place is very friendly, clean and sanitary. When I first visited, Nancy was my manicurist. I fell in love with her work on my nails that she's the only one who I've gone to. However, it seems that all the other customers who have the other manicurists and pedicurists leave happy. I highly recommend Nancy! She's so sweet and makes sure that she understands what you want and ensures you like the job she's done. read more

I have been going to this salon for a bit before Covid. This was my second time going this year, and after this experience I won't be returning. I asked for a fill, the woman said my nails were old and needed a new set. Even though it seemed to early for a new set, I trusted her and agreed. Big mistake - she proceeded to rip the acrylic off my nails, which was uncomfortable and eventually very painful. My nails then looked shredded, and were burning. The final product (after correcting her multiple times) is a set that varies in length, gel doesn't even cover all of the nail, and is lumpy. It's the following day and one nail is very painful still. What a waste of $40. I've been told Lauren is better, but I won't risk it anymore with this place. read more

Took a chance and decided to go to random nail salon. I found this one next to my favorite waxing spot (European Wax Center) so I just walked on in. Loved that they accept walk ins. There wasn't a huge wait. I was seated and helped right away, and received excellent service. I came in for a gel manicure and spa pedicure. I was ecstatic to be in and out within a hour and my nails came out amazing! On a count of being tmi: I have a terrible in grown on one of my nails, and the lovely lady who did my feet took it out so smoothly I didn't feel a thing. Unfortunately I didn't get her name, but she had glasses and black hair. And she's the only tall slender lady there. Oh one last thing! Everything was super affordable. read more

She cuts off corners and does amazing massage! I wish they will upgrade and learn better techniques for gel manicure, that's below my standards (and I tried different girls over time). My strongest belief that in any profession people must take classes, continue education and improve the quality! Hope, my message will be heard read more

Fancy Nails - Love the look - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

This is a standard nail salon that offers quality manicures at a moderate price. Do not expect the superb personal service and wonderful ambiance of a pricier place, but those things are useless anyway if the mani/pedi is not going to be outstanding. -- Ambiance - 3 stars While I was there it was quiet enough to hear the music playing softly in the background, with none of the loud foreign language exchanges among the employees or obnoxiously loud music as if they want to start up a party. This was partly because I went on a Friday morning and it wasn't full--apparently it gets pretty busy on the weekends. There isn't much of a 'mood', it's a brightly lit standard nail salon that happened to be peaceful. Equipment is not luxurious by any means, but is comfy and will get the job done just fine. -- Cleanliness - 3 stars I'm big on hygiene, and Fancy Nails was ok. Their chairs/floors had polish stains and didn't look brand new, but it was otherwise clean. The nail polish racks seemed a bit sticky but I think the problem was that the rack's height was a little short for the taller polishes. A few of the polishes looked like they hadn't been used in a long long time. It didn't look like they sterilize their tools for each customer--I didn't exactly love that--but at least they did not pull them out of dirty old dingy looking containers. -- Service - 3.5 stars They do not have a receptionist and I found myself feeling a tad bit awkward when I came in huffing and puffing from running late and nobody said a word to me at first. I was also seated after a 20 minute-ish wait, which I thought was odd given that I did make an appointment (granted, I was late by 15 minutes). Maybe their schedules aren't perfectly organized; the girl I made the appointment with was working on another customer for 20 minutes after I arrived. But once I sat down they started to warm up to me; perhaps it helped that the person who recommended the salon and specific technician to me is one of their super-regulars. -- Quality - 4 stars Most importantly, they offer great value--quality is good for the price you pay. The cuticle trim wasn't excellent, but I liked the designs on my nails (I always get designs, and end up comparing designs from different technicians at different salons) and the colors were very evenly applied. If I remember correctly the spa manicure - which consists of nail trim/filing, cuticle trim, lotion massage, and color - only costs $10. Add extra for French tips and/or designs. The polish color range is decent; most of them are the more common colors with some token oddities (e.g. neon green). So their collection is not that extensive and they don't seem to stock up on the newest colors, but you should be fine unless you need super crazy shades. read more

This place sucked. I'm not too hard to please, and as long as the end result looked decent, I would've been happy. I went here for a pedicure before an event, and she cut my foot so bad I kept my feet covered for a couple of weeks. Red flag 1: The chair I sat at had a couple of empty drink bottles sitting on the arm rest/tray. I thought that was gross and unprofessional, but everybody slips up sometimes. I was also pretty grossed out that there was a long hair next to them. 2: The woman doing my nails kept going back and forth between my feet and another woman's hands without changing gloves. I didn't care that it was taking longer - I had a book and I wasn't in a rush. But that's wayy unprofessional and unsanitary. If I was the other customer, and someone was touching a stranger's feet and then my hands, I would've been pretty disgusted. 3: She ripped the cuticle on my big toe so badly that it started bleeding all the way across. She didn't react or apologize, just kept working. (She also continued going back to the other woman's manicure AFTER I was bleeding - um, bloodborne pathogens, anyone?) Anyway, I was left with a gross looking scab all the way across my cuticle. Luckily it didn't get infected. It just looked really nasty and I kept my feet covered while it healed - which totally defeated the purpose of getting a pedicure! Oh, and when I paid (I think it was $18?) I gave her cash. She smiled and said thank you - until she realized I had given her exact change. She repeated, "18?" and I said, "Yes." Um, yeahhhh... you're not getting a tip for that, sorry. read more
