First off the guy who took me wouldn't stop texting and getting calls. He did a poor job on the manicure, started bleeding he did a rushed and it looked all bubbly so I thought to my self there is no way ima let him put the color on my nails they argued that "he did his job" like nobody said I was gonna leave I just didn't wanted him to finish the poor job, she finished the next day my nail polish started coming out I went to tell them today to address this problem 1-2 days after they started coming out so I went to try to fix it they basically told me to leave. read more

I recently moved to montebello and I always come here because the service is always great. But today was a nightmare. I asked for a gel pedicure I got there at 10:30am I rarely get gel but I did because I know it will be after but I did not get out of there until 12:20pm because my tech was new. I did not know this when he is in the middle of starting and looked like he didn't know what he was doing until two people came to see how he was doing. I can go in but the fact that they couldn't let me know he was new. Until I told the girl that was watching him polishing my toes then she took over and when she did I said, I was suppose to go in to work at 12:30 she said oh you should've told us that you where in a hurry sorry next time extra massage like whaaaaat? Like you should've told me it was his first day. Not only I'm late for work I had to pay up 45 dollars that where not worth it at all for the service. But I mean whatever no Matter what I said wouldnt matter because they were going to get there money anyways. read more

These 5 stars are for Daisy ! She's the one who always does my pedicure and I'm always satisfied! I've also had great experiences with Dan :) It's a little bit on the expensive side but it's worth it for Daisy ! read more

Theirs no wait time at this place and they're nice but this was my last resort since I had no where else to go. But I got a gel color change and asked him to just make my nails square he didn't. Then the gel he was using wasn't even drying off after putting into the machine. The color was so blotchy and didn't stay on. He didn't even clean the sides where there was nail-polish. I won't be coming back. read more

The employees are so rude they judge people and they are so rough on your nails they left my aunt a cut on her finger because of how rough they are. The ladies cannot stop staring and giving dirty looks at everyone. I would absolutely NOT recommend this place. read more

Daniel did an amazing job on my full set!!! Definitely coming back Thank you! -petunia Tammy was such a sweetheart! read more

This was my first time coming to this place , after my original Nail place was closed and BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER . Not only did one of the workers cut my nail recklessly causing my toe to bleed , she left my toe nails uneven and messy. After I was told I would only pay $25 for a pedicure after I asked 3 times through out the procedures if it would still be at the cost of $25 ,ended up being that I had to pay $37 . This was so unprofessional , and caught me so off guard . I would not recommend this place to anyone , unless you want to be robbed for your money and leave with bloody cuts . read more

Never really liked their service but I went again because my cousin wanted to come. Our visit was decent so I decided to return with my mom. Everything seemed fine and everyone was friendly. I got a fill with gel polish and as soon as I got home I noticed the gel was peeling. I had the chance to go back a few days later to get it fixed and all she did was remove the gel, they wanted me to pay EXTRA for a service I already had paid and they did wrong. ‍‍ read more

An older gentleman did my nails and he was doing an ok job. But he rushed through the process and he ended up cutting me. Also, the nail color was uneven and so was the nail shape. He didn't bother to fix it either. I didn't like the way they looked. I'm never coming back here again. read more

I went to this place like 3 weeks ago. I am never going back their again. I had a pedicure done and they didn't cut my nails correctly. I ended up having a ingrown nail in my left toe that my toe was purple. My niece went with me and she got an infection. I DON'T recommend this place at all. read more

I walked in here & asked for a pedicure & gel manicure session. The place was empty & a man directed me to the spa chairs. Which is only common sense to be charged more for the spa care. What I did not know, & was not notified in advance about, was they charged extra for the pedicure which they labled as "spa" since I was sitting in the chair. I explained to them that it was their idea to come & do my gel manicure on the chair, I had no problem waiting to sit at the regular chair/table to get the manicure. The man just keep saying "no" spa manicure. This place takes advantage of people. Be aware of the prices here. My gel nails are already peeling off? I would not come back, too many other great places to go too in the area. One star because the guy who did my pedicure did a great job. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I don't recommend this place!!! I went for the first time last week and I was helped by Chin who messed up my right foot by leaving on the Callus remover for more than 5 minutes(mind you, callus removers are not to be left for more than 5 minutes) after I told her my foot was burning all she did was take off the plastic and didn't take off the chemical, finally she took it off after 10 min, I left this place not being able to walk and in a lot of pain!!!! Very unprofessional and negligent of them to leave on such a strong chemical for a very long time!!! Not to mention very expensive she tried to charge me $33 for the horrible experience but ended up paying $23 when I shouldn't even have payed anything for what she caused!! Not much of a yelp reviewer but this is definitely something I needed to share! read more

Friendly Nails - This was the result of me going here! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Gate, California

Went here with significant other to have nails cleaned up (mani / pedi for her). We were greeted and told the wait was 20 min. The place was busy but was equally well-staffed, so seemed a reasonable estimate. After 25 min we cordially asked how far on the waiting list we were to being seen, and were told it would be "just a minute." At 40 min we asked the same, and were told our wait was 20 min more. At 65 min we asked one last time and were told we were "coming right up". We decided to leave, having wasted an hour of our life. It's okay to be busy, it's not okay to lie with time estimates in an attempt to retain business - that's called dishonesty, and there are long term consequences - one of which is that we won't be returning to do business. read more

I wish I could give them a higher rating, but I can't because of the poor quality nail polishes. I usually go here because of the proximity and because it's actually quiet and you can relax, which is rare for a nail salon in south gate and nearby cities. I do like the different spa service options they have and for the most part they have good service and do a good job on pedicures. This last time I went I was happy with the service until the older gentleman doing my manicure started rushing and doing a sloppy job. The lady doing my pedicure took over after I complained about the sloppiness. I did tell her that the polish was clumping she went ahead and painted over it and it looked fine because it was only the first coat he had put on. Four hours later my polish chipped at the corners!!! How frustrating! Friendly nails get better nail polishes, PLEASE! read more

The worst Nail experience ever!!! I came in for a fill on my French tip with pink powder under and a pedicure. My mind was already set on French tip toes, which still looks very crooked! Check out the picture ! the guy doing my fill grabs any pink and adds it to my nails BUT it's not the same color !!! He still has the audacity to tell me that if I wanted the same pink, I should've went to the same nail place I had went to in the first place. Then since I was so upset, he tried to fix it by making me choose another color on top but I had already done French tip toes so I didn't want a different nail color. He convinced me to paint them pink then add white French tip on top. Sounded good but I wanted the pink to look natural and he got me a pepto-bismol color !! And he didn't even paint them correctly from the top!!! Just check out the images. And I STILL got charged for everything! $71 bcuz they charge $15 gel pedicure but don't tell you until the end. Also they charged me for the white tip, when they're the ones that messed up! Oh and they don't sterilize their utensils so I might even get an infection. I will never go there again! 1 star is still too much for them. read more

I really like the service that Daisy does, but why if you call ahead like 3 hours for an appointment... why they let somebody else go ahead before you and make you wait like one hour more.... that's dumb... but oh well I guess I have to wait and next time I won't make the appointment... read more

Went to a place across Cerritos College in one week my nail feel off! Decided to try something close to my house. I usually go to Maywood Nails but my two favorite nail people are not there Monday's. So I came across Friendly Nails... As soon as I walked in she was very friendly. She did my gel nails!! Absolutely LOVE all the colors they have available for gel nails! Totally recommend it! read more

Clean place, first time there, honestly i felt like the guy at a point was scrubbing (filing) my nails too hard, which felt like the acrylic nail was gonna yank off together with my natural nail, then he made one of my fingers bleed, the thumb acrylics are unevenly filed, and i can see a nail polish brush mark on one of my nails, when he put the nail dryer machine he would just sloppily throw my hand in it, which would hit the side of it and actually messed up one of the wet nails, but he went back over it. I like the color and length of my nails but not the best job. Idk how the other emloyees do their work but speaking for one of them, he didn't do the best joband seemed rushed when nobody was waiting, but i guess I'm still satisfied with my nails although I had to file my thumb acrylics when i got home. read more

I wold not return to this nail shop again, they have roaches!I went in as a walk in for a pedicure waited for about 30 mins then mind you they said it'll be "10 mins" 2 appointments showed up took them in of course but didn't have the courtesy to communicate that with me.I went over to A worker and asked her what was going on she said they had an appointment I told her that's fine but why didn't let me know so I could Come back a later time all she kept saying was that she was sorry they had an appointment.Very bad experience will Not come back here again. read more

I'm currently on a hunt for a new nail spot since my last place did me wrong. I came here because it's extremely close to my house and I wanted my nails done before new year's eve. I also hadn't checked yelp before coming so I was a little scared as I was getting my pedi reading the bad reviews. I was greeted at the door and I didn't have to wait. I got a fill and pedi for 27 bucks which is pretty decent. The polish selection isn't the greatest and my nails were cut too short but they looked good considering the length faux pas. It wasn't the best experience of my life but not the worst. I liked the massage chairs and the pedi much better than my fill. It was just ok. I'm still on the hunt. read more

I personally love the place. I actually don't go anywhere else now. I find that everyone there is very friendly and I always am taken in on the spot. I have gotten a mani/pedi and waxing services done here. All good experiences. I'm actually surprised to see that so many people complain about this place. Now I have been to the expensive nail place and to the hole in walls. I don't think they deserve only 2 stars. Yes, I agree their regular nail Polish is cheap, but I get gel so I can't complain. Also I know who the guy is that everyone complains about because I personally hate getting him too. That's why I couldn't give five stars. read more

This is a great place I love it.! And I ask for some coffin nails with some butterflies OMG I LOVE IT!! I don't have the picture anymore but it was cute.! They are so friendly specially Jenny she's so nice ... if you are going to get some nails ask Jenny and trust Jenni with the person you are going she is so nice read more

I came to this nail shop for a fill and gel color, I came out with gel all over my cuticles. I mentioned it to Jenny the owner and she told me "if you don't like it request someone else next time". Jenny(the owner) is completely unprofessional and let's the staff so as they please without any reproductions. I would highly recommend you guys stay away from this nail shop. read more

Ive been coming here since they opened...I was hoping they would add more colors and better quality polishes as they settled in but Ive seen this is not the case. The service is acceptable. The quality of their work is decent and their pricing is reasonable. This location is convenient for me so I come for that reason. They have alot of room for growth so hopefully we see that with time... Tip...dont get ure eyelashes here or u will b sorry. I did so on a whim and boy did I regret it!!! It was the most awful experience. ..super clumpy and low quality! read more

I went in for a gel manicure, and she didn't even bother cleaning up my cuticles or doing any of the other things most places do. To top it all off the gel literally fell off TWO days later! When I say it fell off, I mean they came clean off like they were stickers on my nails. That's has never happened before, but she did a half ass job. I wish I knew her name. read more

Possibly the worst customer service I have ever received. Nancy the nail tech has absolutely no respect for customers. I explained to the owner about how disrespectful she was and all she said was "I know ...people in the passed have complained about her too...sorry" !?!? Lol okay, well I'm never going back there. Nancy was upset because I returned to fix a nail that broke of after 2 days of getting them done. I didn't think it was fair for me to pay and I expressed that and that's what made her upset .... I paid anyways and was going to pay however, her attitude really threw me off. Not to mention I think what really bothered her was that I was there to simply fix one nail. I can go on but I'll just leave it at that. Explains why they have a low rating. read more

This is my second time here. Staff, some of them are friendly. I feel they try to push many of their nail services on you. I had forgotten why I didn't want to come back here. They were not busy at the time I walked in and yet they still rush to do a mani and pedi. The woman doing my mani was a bit ruff and at some point filed my nail to much that it hurt. They did an ok job I guess for a quick emergency mani pedi. read more

I give this place a 5 stars only because I love Daisy. She dose the best eye brows and toes. She really takes her time and dose a grate job. She's also very grate at taking out my ingrown without it being painful. You have to make an apt. Because she usually has a lot of people waiting to see her. She's the only person I will allow to do my toes there. Over all I'm not sure about anyone els. read more

Yesterday was my first time going to this place. Awesome spa pedicure, and Nancy Thank you for doing a good job on my nails not to mention quick on my new set. I want to thank everyone at this nail Spa for returning my cell phone after I had forgotten it yesterday. I am truly grateful for your honorable gesture. Although I have lookout.com installed the best safety app is the honesty of this establishment. You made this Navy Mom very happy!! read more

I usually don't like leaving bad reviews but man this place made me so this. I went in Saturday afternoon to give this place a try since I wanted to try something new. I was greeted right away, the staff was friendly. However, I sat down and this man "John" started doing my nails.. as he is filling them he cuts my skin from the edges of my finger nail... he didn't file the nails down correctly... he kept cutting me. He then proceeds to put gel on my nails... he was not applying the polish correctly that it started to get bubbly. Afterwards the hairs from the polish started to get on my nails.. when he was done he wanted to charge me $30 for SHORT gel full set.. I told him no I'm not paying $30 because this is not a $30 work! So he ended up charging me $28!!! As I was walking out I seen my nails were getting worse! So I went back in and told them to just take them off and refund me .. however, this lady (I'm guessing manager) offered to fixed them and she thankfully she did. But either or I would NEVER go back there again. read more
