    The nails I asked for, but a little shorter. These were done at a previous salon a year ago.

    This is the aftermath of my awful experience here. No nails, cut down to the bed,super thin. My birthday is tomorrow and I was looking forward to getting pretty nails. Booked appt for gel x full set with I think her name is Angel at 4:30 today? I immediately was disappointed by the fact that the $29 highly advertised pedicure add on was a tiny foot bucket with soap, so I respectfully declined. Then as I'm sitting down picking colors, the girl Angel comes over, no smile, no greeting and just asks what I want. So I show her pictures of almond gel x French tip that I've gotten in the past. I let her know my size and shape preference by the reference photos and we proceed. I'm thinking all is well until we get to the size of the nail. I let her know from the start, I would like slender, sharp but not super long because I work keyboard. She rudely says, your nail beds are too short, I won't be able to do the shape in the photo, it's not possible. We proceed, despite the shape not being my preference but I was just happy to atleast get my nails done after a long day at work. As she puts the full set on, I softly ask if she could make it a little sharper/thinner because I don't like the roundness. Maybe I had offended her, but from that point on it was dead silent and I could feel like she was annoyed. Completely disregarding my wants, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and we proceeded. I pick 3 colors from their ring of like 100 choices, which is extremely hard to look through, and guess what? They don't have ANY of the colors I chose, but she decided to tell me last minute and rummages in the back for 10 minutes. Finds 3 colors that look awful and nothing like what I picked, and was rude about it the entire time. If it wasn't for her attitude I probably would have let her continue, but at that point I had had enough. I let her know I would no longer like to continue and that I will go to front desk to see what my options were. I let front desk (older lady with white hair) know that I was not happy with my nails and that I would like to know how much to take them off or to keep the unpainted gel x on atleast since it's my birthday tomorrow. The girl that did my nails comes over and starts to talk over me, giving her side of the story when I had to tell her, I'm sorry but it wasn't just the nails, it was your demeanor and attitude from the start. She then says "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Frontdesk." No apologies or empathy at all. I chose to ignore her rather than escalate. Frontdesk had to call the owner and ask, from there my options were to either take off for free (damage to nail bed) or pay $35 for my unpainted gel x that had the wrong shape. I chose to take them off. The lady that took the nails off was very sweet and considerate so I ended up tipping her, but whoever that nail tech girl was, apparently she was having a bad day. I hope management knows how many bad reviews there are of this place.

    I've been coming to hands to hold for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. During Covid I was so sad that I had to get other salons and could not WAIT for them to open again. Going to other salons really opened my eyes too. I always knew hands to hold was super clean, but never realized how clean it was compared to other spots. I always feel safe as they are doing my nails. I've also never had issues making appointments. Chris and Carla will always try to fit me in, but are realistic about it. Other salons I tried will squeeze me in even when they can't, and I end up waiting 40 minutes, and getting switched from person to person. At hands to hold, I can always get the appointment time I want in advance, and if it is last minute (day of, day before) they are always as accommodating as possible, and I know I have to be flexible since they are busy! On top of all of that, I always get great manicures. Everyone does a great job, but I always go to David for my gel manicures (last me 2 weeks) and will go to anyone for a pedicure (last me about a month). People always compliment my nails when I get them done here. I couldn't recommend hands to hold enough!

    I have never been so disappointed, enraged and disgusted by a place of business in my life. I wrote the above review a while back and received a very nice call from the owner Ronnie. He apologized for his receptionist's behavior and that he was going to deal with it. He said that he has other locations and had been doing this for a long time and this is not what he stands for. He also said he was going to leave a gift card for $100 at the front desk for me to use. He said he wanted to extend a gift as an apology but also so that this would encourage me to come back and have a better experience. I have never been contacted by an owner before after writing a review so I thought this was incredibly kind and really made me want to give this place another try. I wasn't able to return for a while but I did and when I made the appointment I spoke with Chris and she was very lovely and I had a much better experience. I even brought my friend with me who also took their card and had planned to go in for a mani and pedi for an upcoming trip. I used $60 of the gift card and I tipped $10 of my own money to the manicurist. I checked out with Chris, who again, even after this recent experience is the best part of this salon. She was so kind and I think she needs to find another job that respects their staff and customers. Anyway, Chris checked me out and said that the system was not letting her put the additional $40 amount on a new gift card but she wrote on the back of it and put it in the system that I still had a balance on the card so I could use it when I came back. I took the card and went on my way. Cut to last week! I call to make an appointment for a gel manicure and a spa pedicure for an upcoming event I had. Mind you the gift card I have would not have covered the entire amount for my appointment but I had a better experience the last time so I fully planned on continuing to go to the salon. In my opinion the owner prevailed at redeeming the salon. When I called I started to make the appointment with Carla! Oh Carla!! Carla is the person I wrote the original review about!! She is absolutely awful! I preceed to tell her that I have a gift card that I would like to use but I want to make sure that it shows in the system that there is $40 left on it, even though it won't show up on the card. She said she will check and puts me on hold. She comes back and says that the owner told them that I was no longer allowed to use the remainder on my gift card because I never took down my yelp review!!!!! I was like WHAT??? First of all that was not apart of the deal and also what in the WORLD, are you trying to buy my reviews????? You are definitely not supposed to do that! How awful are you!! I calmly say to Carla that I would like Ronnie to call me because I did not and would not have agreed to take down my review. That experience happened to me at your place of business and I still think people should know about it. Now I would have agreed to updating my review but he never asked me to do that. Carla tells me that he is out of the country for two weeks and she will leave him the message. I sat and thought about it for a minute and realized how messed up this situation is and how rude it was for not only the owner to do this but for him to then relay it to his employee, who AGAIN is the reason I wrote the initial review in the first place. So, I decide that this not the place for me and I no longer feel comfortable giving this place my money! I call back and Carla answers and I say that I don't need Ronnie to call me back, that I just don't feel its right for him to withhold the remainder of my gift card in exchange for taking my review down. But I would like her to let him know that if he would have asked me to update the review that I would have done that, but to withhold it from me with out any communication regarding the matter is completely unethical and unprofessional. I told her to let him that know what I will is update the review to reflect this current experience. The entire time she cutting me off and talking over me. I kept asking her to let me speak but she just wouldnt let up! I said, "Carla, you are so rude and unprofessional, and you are the reason for the intial reveiw. So wouldn't you think the best thing to do is just pass along my concern to the owner and move on?" She says and I QUOTE, "Well if you had such a bad experience before why would you want to come back anyway?" SHE THEN HANGS UP ON ME! I was shocked! First of all, I wouldn't have come back but I had a better experience the second time and I would like to point out that the experience I had then that was so great... CARLA WAS NOT THERE THAT DAY!!! I call back because I was so upset by what she said and she picked up the phone and hung up with out saying anything. I called back 6 times to get the name and email address of the owner and each time she picked up and hung up the phone....6 TIMES!! REST OF THE REVIEW IN THE PHOTOS

    The worst manicure in LA

    The worst manicure in my life... Just take a look at the photo closer...See, how the cuticle is treated. See how crooked and uneven the nail polish is applied. I was asked at the reception :"Do you want to leave tips?" I said I did already, but I was about to cry. I was going in my friends birthday party, and I had to hide my nails during this party. Disgusting work. My 7 year old kid would do it better... Services: Manicures, Pedicures

    I've been going here for over 15 years, and have never had any bad experiences! Everyone treats you like family, remembers your name! They always do the best job and make sure I absolutely love my nails before I leave! Wouldn't go anywhere else :)

    They are awesome did such amazing job on my daughters toes. Thank you guys! She's super happy :).

    See all
