First of all I don't want to even give them 1 star This nail salon needs vents the fumes are so bad! You start out asking how much for full set $23 then as you are in there they charge you for extra $5 this .$$5 that $5 for polish another $5 for sparkle color you pay $58 meanwhile the whole time the technicians are talking about you and laughing at customers!! it's so unprofessional after all that time spent nearly there my nails broke off within 24 hours then I go back and she repaired them sloppy not the same size and shape as the rest of my hands because she's not getting paid so she could careless! Your brand new set of nails should last at least a week and more - I tried this this place for 6 months and their service is awful read more

I used to live right around the corner and in the years that I lived in Bixby I came here about once a month for four years. They have always been horrible about appointments but even when I moved away, I still found my way back here bc they did a great job. The past two times though and particularly today, I've finally had enough. Same issue as always. Made an appt and when I arrived, the people I requested had just started on someone new!!! It's the same story and after the umpteenth time I am now committed to replacing these guys. I understand how popular this salon is but it is rude and unacceptable to make a customer wait 30+ minutes. Bottom line - these guy don't care! read more

-convenient....won't be back Some guy worked on my pedicure: -no plastic liners for pedicure....it's 2017 come on! -felt rushed the whole time -maybe a 30 second massage per leg....wth? And with that, WORST massage ever -toe is sore from him yanking my nail -cut big toes so short they could barely be filed read more

Just came here recently. Poor service, and I couldn't even relax during my simple gel manicure. Two women were talking to each other the whole time, and she also made me bleed. They spoke to each other like 2 teenagers in high school, instead of 2 adults working a shift. Then she had the nerve to act sarcastically when asking me questions. I wish I would have gotten her name. Such a different experience from my last visit. I should have turned around when I saw the shop empty on a Sunday. read more

I love this place even though their customers are really rude to them sometimes. Ive been going here for years and probably have had everyone do my pedicures with no issues. Sometimes there is a long wait, but thats okay, just means they do a good job. read more

Came in at 9:30 hoping to be one of the first ones, but when we came in there was already 5 women getting pedicures and 2 women getting nails done. We waited about 15 min before we got called up, not a bad wait time since I CLEARLY see they're busy. But the very nice part about waiting was them asking if I we wanted complimentary water, green tea. I chose a Hot Pink color and they didn't hurt me while cutting my nails and the HOT towel was Life!!!!. I don't give this place a 5 star review because seriously The language they're speaking I don't understand and they continuously keep yelling to one another across the room is simply unprofessional. Like seriously Why are you yelling!!!! Other that it was great! read more

J B Nails - It's on and Cracking ! - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Best nail salon in Long Beach! Super fun, friendly, clean and affordable. Relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was happy and cheerful. Family friendly. No stress; No hassles. Up front and honest about the pricing of all of the extra add ons. No pressure to up-sell. Fiona was gentle and patient with me. Her massage and salt scrub are heavenly. High quality work and attention to detail, with the gel pedicure. I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I have been going to J B Nails for almost 3.5 years now. This use to be my go-to spot, until today. I have gotten a gel manicure at least a dozen times. I ALWAYS get white for my nail color, and have never had an issue. It all started when I asked how much dip powder manicure is - one of the workers let me know it was $35. I told her I would stick to the gel manicure for now, and she nodded and went back to working on her client. She then turned around about 2 minutes later and asked what color I wanted. I told her I wanted white, and then she told me for white, black, or white tip it's an extra $5. I then told her I have been here plenty of times and that's never been the case for white, and she straight up lied and told me it's always been like that. At this point I was already sitting with the worker pushing back my cuticles, otherwise I would've walked out. I am always very respectful and understanding of business pricing and policies, but to deliberately take advantage of me and try to nickel and dime me is a huge NO. They got greedy and tried to hustle me, and now they don't get my business at all. I recommend you go elsewhere. read more

I highly recommend this place!!! They treated us so good, also know I had my 3 year old with me and they did so good with her! They kept her distracted and had her laughing. My kid also had them laughing they also offered to do her nails and allowed my daughter to their nails. Oh my god I love this place. read more

Honestly I never had a problem with this place until this past Friday. Toe got infected and swelled, it was painful but now it's itching and swollen. This means the tools were not sanitized! Never coming back again if a place can't understand how important it is to sanitize their tools. read more

This place is clean but the workers are rude and they just assume you want all these extra add one and they don't even bother to ask you if you want to spend all this extra money and the guy doing my feet didn't even do my feet right I swear a toddler can paint toes better than him and he really tried to just put nail polish on my toes without cutting my toe nails or even filing them down... read more

Loved this place! everyone is super friendly and its and over all great experience. Ask for angel shes very attentive and extremely nice

Great service, clean place and quick. I've gotten a pedicure and full set twice and plan on coming back

When i ask for a gel manicure, i get good treatment. But if i request a plain manicure, they rush and dont care about the quality of treatment they give. Also, when their nail polishes run out, they just add acetone or something else. There have been two times where my nail polish started to have a cracked look within a day from the weird mix. What's making me write this review is how my nails turned out recently. It started to peel off some kind of glue like substance after a day. The polish didnt peel, but it seemed like some adhesive was rubbing off. It was black. I had to remove and redo my own nails because my nails looked so dirty. In addition, the lady poked me like 5 times in different parts with her nipper. It was an awful service after such a long wait too. I do have to say that when I go to Tina, she does careful work. And i have only been happy with her. read more

3.5. It's a strong Ok. A but too much talking to ine another while doing the service and I had to keep telling my manicurist to reshape my nails. read more

J B Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Whenever I go to the creamery next door, this place is always packed so make sure to make an appointment before walking in. I had to wait about 45 minutes before being serviced. They take walk-ins up until 7 PM on the dot. Staff is friendly and you're offered a cold water or green tea while waiting to see a nail tech! Prices are reasonable for what you're getting. Traditional nail salon with spa massage chairs. Lili really went in on my pedicure and did a thorough job cutting my cuticles without drawing any blood. I got a gel pedi with callus removal which cost me about $23. Candy did my coffin ombré full set which she said she had to go to a nail trade show to learn. She's one of the two nail techs who knows the technique. The ombré is achieved by combining two colors of acrylic powder and sealing it off with a gel topcoat. Any shaped ombré full set is $50 flat with endless topcoat to your liking. Staff is super friendly and this is now my go-to spot. read more

So disappointed in this place. I've been coming here about two years now since it is walking distance from my office but the last couple of visits have been beyond terrible. This place is pricy, even for this area considering I can go down to Willow/LB and pay less than half what I do here. At $70 plus tip for mani/pedi they should at least not leave me waiting endlessly when I have an appointment. Tham is my go to guy for everything and I allot myself enough time for him to do my mani & pedi, mostly because I don't care for anyone else there. About a month ago he was on vacation but I needed a full set so I went ahead and set an appointment with Ivonne whom the manager raved about. Ummm..... No. This woman cut me, not nipped trying to grab a cuticle, she chunked 3 fingers!! The end result was disgusting and I was so upset. I needed to get back to work so I came in two days later. Mind you, I lost THREE nails in that time!! Tham was back, hooray! Fixed me up nice and ended up comping my services. Two weeks later had my usual and he was great. Today I come in for a fill, after making my appointment in advance to secure my valuable lunchtime spot and he's setting up spa a pedicure! I immediately told the manager and he said he would take care of things.... Annnnnnd didn't. Never again. read more

Fav nail shop. David is the best! I've been going to him since i moved to Bixby Knolls at the beginning of this year, & i can say he has never disappointed me. He always does an amazing job. They have great customer service and they even provide you with green tea or water during your visit. Gotta try them out, the whole staff is great. read more

J B Nails - full set with narrow square tips and gel polish done by David - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

New to the area, I of course refer to yelp to find a good mani/pedi. I called a couple of places nearby and only JB Nails had two open chairs immediately available. We were in a time crunch, deciding to do this last minute, so we told them we were on our way. The place was super easy to find and we quickly found street parking. Once we walked in, a gentleman greeted us and asked what we would like. Once I said 2 mani/pedi's he confirmed that we were the couple he just talked to. He pointed to 2 chairs that were waiting for us, water already running. This was nice and efficient. We both chose the European Pedicure to get rid of all the calluses we've acquired from our trip. It was very relaxing. I'm a sucker for a foot massage! Even my boyfriend liked it (his 1st one). As an even more efficient use of time, they doubled up on us. We had a pedicurist and a manicurist working on us at the same time in the massage chairs! I got the shellac with nail art (see photo). And he got a classic manicure that left his hands looking soft and well kept, not at all effeminate. I want to mention that this was my first mani/pedi experience where I was worked on my men, manicurist AND pedicurist! I expected to feel uncomfortable but wasn't at all. The were very professional and had AWESOME skills. 2 mani/pedi's with one shellac plus nail art all cost under $100. I will be going back! p.s. my nail art was done by a third manicurist, a young girl, I did not catch her name =( Thank you whoever you are! I've received a ton of complements =) read more

May did my nails and they came out perfect! She did hurt my cuticles about twice but it's not a big deal. Overall it was fantastic. The service was great they offer you tea or water and they always try to start a conversation. I was so relaxed I was starting to fall asleep. I got a full set with gel polish and it was only $35. It's very affordable and they last a long time. This isn't the first time I come and I'm always satisfied. read more

I got a gel manicure here yesterday and by the time I woke up this morning , my white nail polish had turned a stained brownish color. I called the nail salon and was delighted to find out their gel nails come with a 10 day guarantee. Anything happens within those 10 days just come in and they will fix it. Free of charge. It's a little pricey ($30) but totally worth it. read more

J B Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I do frequent this place out of close proximity to me. The quality used to be so much better when they first opened but not anymore. The place is dirty and needs a good cleaning. When you look in the corners of the place its filthy..they also had one of their little kids scribble over all the furniture which only adds to the lack of care on cleanliness/appeal. They tell you ten minutes to be seated and it takes much much longer which i dont appreciate especially when one is in a rush. I had my pedi done and then was transferred to another station for my mani and i sat there for 30 minutes while they finished other people who came in way after me...i was not happy. time to find a better place, too bad read more

These people are top notch in their service and expertise. I am so glad they survived this pandemic. Prices are a little more expensive, but the facility is immaculate. Try them, try another. You'll come back! read more

I hate to even drive past this place. I haven't written reviews in 5 months but I felt compelled to write one, just for this establishment. Back when it was called "Mike's Nails", I gave this place a chance-- that was a bust. The owner here messaged me a few months ago after I wrote a 1-star review for Mike's Nails, asking me to try the place again and even tried explaining that JB Nails stood for "Just Beautiful" Nails. I think they should change the acronym meaning to JUST BAD nails! I came back sometime in September after one of my friends said that they changed the place and that it's really nice on the inside. I'm not gonna deny it, it is nice inside... it's super clean, they provide customers with a water or tea incentive and they also have great quality nail polishes (eg. OPI, Essie). I got the European Mani/Pedi and I wasn't impressed whatsoever. The same dude who man-handled me helped me again (and yes, his name is Mike) and I already thought, "Oh no". It wasn't too bad though; he's a buff-muscular guy so there were times when he wasn't very gentle (or maybe he remembered the bad review I wrote, lol). What annoyed me about this visit was how thick Mike laid that nail polish on my nails. I had to ask him to fix it at least 3x before I decided to leave... I wasted 3 hours and $40 here and when I got home the nail polish smeared on my brand new beige tank top! UGH!! My last and final visit for life was the day before my birthday. My sister and I came here and I was helped by some lady with wavy hair and to put it mildly, she seriously SUCKED SO BAD! From the moment I sat on the chair, I knew I wasn't going to enjoy my $35+ European Mani/Pedi... -- First of all, I should mention that NOT ONCE during my 3 visits here did these incompetent fools use anything to separate my toes with!! -- Second, the lady that "helped me" kept messing up at least 5x (and this was just in the beginning of my session). -- Third, this bimbo didn't even use the proper callous remover cream, she used Cuticle Softener as a callous remover. Now I'm not a noob; I know that most nail salons use it too, but that's only if you don't spend the extra money to get the actual remover... (and keep in mind that I was spending $35+ on mine and my sister's Euro Mani/Pedi so the least she could have done was tell us and not charge us for something that we didn't even get-- that THEY were supposed to provide). -- Fourth, I asked for a design and she told me to choose something else because she didn't know how to do it. I appreciated her honesty so I changed my selection and when she was about to attempt "designing" my toe, she said that she would do something similar... I thought "OK, at least she'll get close to do the design I picked". WRONG. The "similar design" she came up with was absolutely horrendous! I don't even think she looked at the design I chose. After she finished, she asked "You like it?" to which I honestly answered, "No." (I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna waste $5 on a shit-acious design and I'm also not gonna have some ugly ass flower on my toe). I could tell she got angry by the way she removed it off. I told her that it was OK and that I just won't get a design. She tried to talk me into still keeping a design but I politely declined. She messed up another 29382409 million times and didn't even bother to clean up the sloppiness. How hard is it to paint nails? I'm sure my 3 year old niece could have done a better job! Geez. I spent $70 on mine and my sister's shit nails (and that's not including the undeserving tip that I so generously gave) which ended up getting fucked up when I got home. I was livid. Thanks for making my nails look atrocious on my birthday! This might sound cliche but Yelp needs to come up with a 0-star or a negative star rating because that's what JUST BAD Nails would get from me! I loathe JB Nails with a passion. Not once during my 3 visits did any of these incompetent manicurists even attempt to hold a conversation with me. Bad service, unfriendly and unwelcoming environment and horrible technique. Please don't waste your time or give this establishment even half a penny from your pocket! read more

Went yesterday for mani/pedi and luckily it wasn't busy, parking was easy but the actual mani/pedi was sub par. The girl that helped me was on the phone when she asked me to sit at Pedi chair and did not give me her name. Once she got off the phone she apologized and said she was on the phone with dr. The water was not hot and I asked her to make it hot, she rolled her eyes at me and added some lukewarm water. Moving on from that the pedicure itself was very basic. It's like she did the bare minimum. She moves onto my mani and water is not even warm. I still have cuticles and my nails look as if I had polished them myself. It wasn't the worst mani/pedi but the service was not enough for me to want to return. read more

J B Nails - Not a very clean mani.. cuticles still visible - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love this place! The customer service here is beyond wonderful. The owner and his wife are so hospitable and kind. I come here mainly for eyebrow waxing but have come twice now for mani/pedi's. The workers here really take their time with you and don't sit there awkwardly as you watch them paint your toes. They engage in conversation with you and I always have a really good time when I'm here. I had been looking for a certain nail polish for awhile and when I mentioned it to the owner's wife she offered to get it for me at the beauty warehouse she goes too. HOW SWEET OF HER! She got me the OPI color I wanted at a very reasonable price. This is my go-to nail salon! It's not really too busy when I go, if you call ahead to make an appointment they make sure to get you right in. They offer you water bottles and green tea as well :) my pedi's always come with a nice massage and the prices are very fair! My husband even loves getting his pedicures here! We'll be coming back very soon! read more

The only nails salon I go to. One day, my daughter and I decided to have our nails done... Thursday 6:15 PM No problem we were told... We had a wonderful relaxing time! I came back whithout my daughter who lives in San Francisco and the experience was absolutely the same as the first time. The ladies are professionals and do an excellent job. They also have a couple of guys paint the nail but i prefer the ladies to touch my feet and legs. Just me! read more

I really wanted to like this place but I did not leave happy. I got the dip powder and it was going well until she cleaned my cuticles with the handheld nail file and started the dipping process. There was a lot of cuticle and excess skin just hanging around and didn't bother to clean it up. I called prior to coming in since it was my first time and they said that dip powder came with a manicure. I didn't say anything since she wasn't completely done. I understand different manicurist have different processes, but in the end, she finished and said it was done. I looked down at my nails and I was just in awe. I never left a nail salon with my nails looking as bad as I went in. Don't get me wrong the dip power was great, the cleaning of the cuticles, not so great. What makes a great nail salon is to clean the nails first then make them look pretty... not just to give you nice nails. The pictures below were taken as soon I left the nail salon. read more

Alert: appointments are not honored here. If that level of professionalism is important to you, do not waste your time here. I really thought it was a nice salon until I went a few times and began to see how they would let people who walked in after me go ahead of me even though I was there first and had an appointment. I pointed it out the last time and they just said to talk to the owner. Totally unprofessional. That was my very last time there! Good News: I was lucky to find a new salon Angels Hair & Nails at 4827 Paramount Bl, off Del Amo. It was 5 Star treatment for the same $. My appointment was just that. Kim was so attentive, professional and friendly. Beautiful colors, very clean & sanitary with nice big comfy massage chairs. Do yourself a favor and check them out asap!!! read more
