Of I could give less than one star I most certainly would. When I arrived there were very few patrons, however an abundance of staff seemed to be just sitting around. I asked for a mani/pedi, and signed in asking the same. I was sat in a spa chair and left for 15 minutes. Only after asking how much longer would my wait be did someone come over to service me. As I was given a lackluster pedicure, I noticed their was a small child running around. Which means a staff member brought their child to work, not a big deal. After I asking her age, I was shocked to learn she was my son's age and commented on her size. The male who was servicing another customer states, "that's cause she doesn't eat burritos". First off how rude to say something so racist! Secondly only after the looks of utter disgust did the guy try to jokingly laugh. I was appalled. After finishing the pedicure my hands were forgotten, even after me addressing it twice. I was asked "oh you want that too?". I will NEVER come back here. read more

All they do is talk shit about people In there language and the mail employee tried to be aggressive with me when I told him that I didn't appreciate him taking shit. You can't allow people to talk shit I front of your face. read more

On the window outside it says manicure $7 and pedicure $10... Then inside it said mani & pedi is $17. My sister and I both got mani & pedi, and they charged $49. Then we saw the pricing flyer and then it said $15 for pedi and $7 for mani. They were inconsistent, and a little rude. read more

So I came here on an emergency visit. First of I was greeted nice. I came in with red nail polish my mistake I asked for a full set white tips. Wow my nail polish wasn't taken off all the way which I told the guy and he said it will go away. Second of all when he out the primer on my nail some lint from my sweatshirt got stuck to it do I told him about it and he wiped it off with alcohol and a cotton swab which made it worse. Then he put the acrylic over it. UGH!!!! Had a pedicure too the lady took out all the nasty stuff which I'm glad of. But boy did that hurt. Over all experience I'm never going back should have stuck to u need nails they get the job done right the first time. read more

I am beyond disappointed and upset that I even walked into this place! I went in for a full set and just polish on my daughters toes, they were nice to her so I was happy with that asked her is she wanted a flower.. I thought this meant a design, but no it's a sticker and it's 3$.. Then the guy starts doing my nails, put sooooo much glue my fingers are sticking together! Does the acrylic, starts filing and he has horrible control of the drill and cuts up all my cuticles and fingers, I'm literally bleeding.. I said ouch and he just says sorry and continues.. I wished I had just walked out at that point but for some reason I didn't and hoped it'd get better.. Didn't! It was lumpy and he was terrible at polishing cause I had bubbles on every nail.. I got home and removed the clear and filled them down better and put my own clear which was painful cause of all the cuts! I have never had such a horrible experience at a nail salon in my life! read more

Friendly Nails - One of the many cuts on my fingers, which hurt anytime I use my hands, it's like paper cuts on every finger! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Gate, California

Love this place, they are always very nice, if I want my nails and pedicure done they do both at the same time. Not many places do that, usually get the pamper me. Hot towels, hot wax and a massage. Great place to get my nails done. read more

Only gave 5 stars so this review can be seen. Nope nope nope! Don't come to this nail place. A guy did my nails and he was very sloppy and made plenty of mistakes. He was rough, hurting me and tugging on my hand. Never again will I come here. Left with lumpy ugly nails! read more

I'm puzzled by the mix reviews. I honestly love this place. I never wait for too long, my gel mani always lasts for 2-3 weeks and they do a really good job with the pedicure, unlike other places. I used to go to U need nails but hi early this place is definitely a place to go. I don't go to a specific person because they are all food here and so friendly, they live up to this name, not only that but they always do my manicure and pedicure at the same time. I love that I don't have to wait to have one and then the other. read more

Not friendly at all. Anything I'd ask from.them...like a specific color they would give me a mean look and start talking in the it language. It was just horrible..and the guy who did my nails kept asking me over and over if I wanted gel and I kept saying not thanks. ..he was about to put gel and I told him no thank you! And he just gave me a look. Haha. after that experience I only come for my eyebrows when it's an emergency. Cause they do them kind of thin. read more

Beyond disappointed, brought my mom in for a pedicure & it was the worst service. The people working are not nice & get upset when you ask them to fix an error they made! The guy who did my moms pedicure, cut her & made her bleed from both toe nails! Horrible horrible service! Will never return.. people stay away.. they only care about charging you. & once you paid they want you out, can't even wait to have your nails dry! read more

don't get your nails done here! i have tried to give this spot a couple chances when getting my nails done here and i'm always reminded of why i don't come here anymore. the job is always done as if the techs don't care about the quality of their work, just as long as they're getting paid. the only one who ever seems to do a good job is jenny but i'm always out of luck when i try to book with her. my polish job was poor, the acrylic was laid on too thick, my cuticles weren't cut or cleaned, etc etc. AND to top it off , one of my nails came off and it hasn't even been a week since i got them done. this salon needs to do way better or just get a completely new set of staff members. read more

I was actually going to write a great review for them based on my last visit but after today, I'm not going back. I asked for the exact same nails I got last time with the same design. I got an almond nail shape and now that I look at them, they're all filed completely crooked. None of them match. The guy seemed upset when I told him he was using the wrong colors and he STILL didn't use the right colors. I ended up coming home and repainting them myself. I chose this place cause they're cheaper than U Need Nails but I think I'd rather pay more to have it done right the first time. Also, the man doing my nails called my sister ugly, right to her face read more

I love the Danny's service , he's really nice and takes his time when he's doing your nails . I've gone with other people and I feel like the job isn't done well . read more

Worst place over first of all they charge $15 for some shity chair and basic pedicure! She didn't take her time she rushed my pedicure just because I didn't want a design and then she seem bothered because I didn't want all this unnecessary creams on my feet. Oh and I didn't tip her for her crapy job and I can hear her talking mad shit lol. First and last!!! read more

Do not come here. You'll be kept waiting for a very long time. I had to wait 45 mins to get my eyebrows done after the boy in the front said it would only be 10. Got my nails done here once and the gel didn't even last a week. Employees aren't friendly either. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! I went in for a nail fix & color change the guy didn't take his time what so ever.. on top of that he painted my nails so bad... left some of my other color I had on my nails & painted over them. Never coming back here. read more

I did not enjoy coming here whatsoever when coming in for a pedicure the lady told me if I wanted spa treatment or regular and I said regular they seemed to be mad at the fact that I wanted a regular pedicure when the guy came to do my pedicure the water was super cold and he was giving an extremely bad attitude after finishing my pedicure he straight out told me it's $10 like he didn't even put the fan for my toes to dry I had to do it myself after I gave him the money (gave him no tip because of the ugly attitude he was giving me) he just walked away not saying anything really really rude never ever again coming here also the nail polish that he applied is very clumpy and is taking forever to dry ugh so mad . read more

Worse place to come for nails ! Got a full set of nails my nails are not painted well there are gaps in my nails and they didn't clean around the nails as well! I decided not to tip ! Worse place ever and they charge $1 to use debit card read more

Do not get your pedicure done with a guy named Beuley (not sure the correct spelling). I was seated with my mom and we both had our pedicure at the same time but somehow mine only took 10 mins. So much for a Spa massage. I ended up finishing before and had to wait an extra 15 mins. Even the paint job was a mess!! read more

I came here a couple days ago and i am positive i will not return. As soon as i stepped in i was greeted with smiles. I thought it was a decent place, but i was wrong. I sat in a station and finally was attended by a man. To begin, he reeked of cigarette and did not even care to wash his hands before doing my nails. Disgusting. Second, as he began to do my nails, i noticed he had a cut nail that got infected a while ago. It was green and he was touching me with it. This salon is very unsanitary, don't recommend it. read more

I had a male do my pedicure and my gosh he was so rough on my feet and he looked like he didn't wanna do my pedicure. He painted my nails with 1 coat and that was it! It was so poorly done. The paint looked so runny and I'm sure he knew as well. On top of that I just paid the 11$ with no top and he just stood waiting for a tip. How does this man expect me to give a tip when he did the job of a five year old ? read more

Let's make it short and sweet....they only get 1 star because I can't give a big fat 0! Friendly nails...not so friendly...rude and horrible job not to mention expensive. read more

I'm not a fan of this this place even tho it's the closest nail shop by my house , I went in for gel nails and the lady was in a hurry that she didn't even cut my cuticle!! And to top it off when the lady gave me my bill she was standing over my shoulder giving me no privacy, super annoying! Try to avoid it, their is better places out there read more

Roach walking on the floor, nasty they don't clean the supplies they used! I don't recommend this place nasty. Bad nail job service too

Daisy was the nail tech to assist me with my pedi, I got the pamper me packet $. Reasonable price for all that it includes plus a massage. She's has a very light hand and takes her time. Friendly personality location clean. Over very present experience. read more

I been coming to friendly nails for the past 3years.I love how well they take care of my natural nails. They do such an amazing job when I come to get my nails and pedicure.I love this place and everything they do!! They also have a boba place which is next door they bring your tea or boba drink to you while getting your nails done it's such an awesome experience love it. read more

Ladies! ladies! ladies !I know that we all look for a great nail salon that is clean, clean tools great customer service, reasonable prices, and great looking nails that look professional and last about 2 weeks or more weather getting gel nails or acrylic nails they should last at least two weeks. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT!!!!+ I had went once before to get my nails done here and the guy totally made my nails look ugly he he kept adding gel over and over so my nose looks so big and ugly and you could see the air bubbles, then when I told him he continue to try to fix it by adding more gel. So being the type of person who much rather not start a big problem I went about my day I told myself I wouldn't go back. One evening I look up places that were open late and they popped out on the internet so here I go trying to give them another shot, BIG MISTAKE! $30 DOWN THE DRAIN!!! As you can see in the pictures everything wrong with the nails not to mention that day John did my nails I told him I wanted them coffin tip and not too thick he said okay okay one of my fingers he passed a drill through them so much that it started to like burned my actual now when I was going to leave I seen that that nail was already breaking he added more gel and said it will be fine 3 times I told him if it breaks I'm coming back to you to fix it he said okay when I was going to pay a lady who I believe was the manager said let me see and then she started talking to John in their language a little bit upset you I could tell he kind of just bowed his head and said something his language same night I get home first thing that happens nail breaks off I go back the next day he fixes it for me he's mad he can tell he made it look thicker I'm assuming so it wouldn't break the next day another finger nail breaks I go back and the same lady that I assumed was a manager fixed it but she made it really thick she put a big nail so it looks like it's curved down she said I'll file it and it'll be okay no it wasn't okay then for them to find the color that John used they couldn't find it so they try to use the same kind of color and it wasn't the same. It hasn't even been a week and another nail broke off and another one is cracked. SAVE YOUR MONEY N TIME N GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

Spa pedicure is great i get the deluxe it's $30 i recommend that service but the manicure was horrible will never do manicure again. The guy that did it seem to be in a hurry even tough there was no one else there he did not take off all the cuticle and also he did not polish the edges of my nails i called him out on it and he added another layer but by then it was way to thick and since they only have generic polish it did not dry and i had to take it off by the time i got home. So if u only need a pedi i advice u getting here worth the $ read more

Crooked almond shaped nails, by one of the male manicurist. When I requested someone different to do them they had me waiting long. This is the second time and same issue I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but no, poor service. read more

There is nothing friendly about this Nail salon!! They are all very rude. My mom came in for just a pedicure and she had acrylics that she had done somewhere else and they were so rude about it!! Like it's none of your business!!! We usually only get a simple pedicure because they honestly cannot do nails. And the pedicure is not good either they just do a 30 second massage and paint your nails (no gel) and they keep raising the price. It's ridiculous!!! That's not the bad part. My mom left her phone on the chair but not even 10 min later she went back to get it and the screen was SMASHED. I am 100% sure it was the lady who did her pedicure. I'm serious no doubt. She was so rude and bitter and kept asking my mom why she had things done at the other place. When I confronted her about the rudeness she denied it and laughed. read more

Best nail service around the city. I am all about getting my gel manicure & this place has yet to let me down. I love the various designs that they do and I get nothing but compliments on my nails. Service is great and everyone there is so friendly. read more

The guy was in a hurry so he left a bunch of bubbles in my acrylic nails...there was some of the acrylic under the nails too. He made my nails thick too they didn't look nice, he answered the phone twice while he was with me and had to help two other people get helped by workers who just sat there and watched. I didn't like the acrylic nail work here. But I got my eyebrows done and she was fast and it didn't hurt, she did a nice job. read more

Thought I'd try this place out for the first time. Let me not waste your time. Nails look so ugly. I got gel color and its full of bubbles and see through, they could have done another layer. Not to mention he over cut my cuticles and made me bleed . It doesn't even look like a got a manicure with all these Cuts and extra cuticles he left read more

I wish I would've yelped this place before coming in. Where do I begin, I just walked out of there with horrible sloppy messy lumpy and injured nails. The guy who did my nails did not know wth he was doing. I seriously have lumpy nails. He also cut me multiple times. He added layers and layers of nail polish it felt I was a practicing board. Will never come here again please don't make the same mistake. read more

Horrible nail job , the guy takes forever !! I was so grossed out the time I was there saw roaches climbing the wall !!! Never will I come here again read more

I went in last week & had the misfortune of getting the oldest lady to do my nails. She literally filed my nails for 30 min. (I kid u not!) after applying the acrylic to damn thick & used every nail file tip she had in the box, then she couldn't paint the design I wanted & kept pushing colors that I didn't want so I finally asked her to just paint my tips w/glitter & when I asked her to put clear gel so they would be glossy she said 'no'-wtf!?! Im paying YOU to do my nails how I want them. After 1 week, I had to get them refilled somewhere else cuz they started to look bad. I wont be back here. read more

Be aware if you come here it's not what you ask for its what they want. I liked going here even if they are overpriced but after today I'm never going back. I told one of the girls not once but twice I just wanted a regular pedicure and she still told me to sit in the spa pedicure and told me "its ok, it's ok." I just thought they didn't have anywhere else to sit me that's why they had me sit there but no they ended charging me for the spa pedicure and made everything seem like it was my fault because I didn't tell her exactly what I wanted even though I told her "I just want a regular pedicure." I don't understand what part of that was so hard for her to understand. Oh and I had to leave with my nails still wet because they didn't even turn the fan on for me. read more
