$168 for a regular gel manicure with glitter/marble designs, no extensions. A long overdue review because it took a few months of denial before acknowledging that I was severely overcharged. Joanne was nice during my appointment and took me in last-minute after doing her daughter's nails, but I have never paid this much for any nail design, even those with extensions. I went in asking for a gel-X manicure but at the beginning of the appointment Joanne specifically and adamantly told me to keep my natural nails since they were so short (not sure what the logic in that was) and that she "wanted to make it cheaper" for me. It's my fault for not standing up for myself and asking for a price breakdown at the end - not to mention there's an automatic 20% gratuity and she doesn't believe in giving price estimates... Very disappointed and feeling ripped off. read more

The most thorough mani/pedi you will ever receive in your life, I am sure of it. Joanne has, through and through, been very consistent with her service, and commitment to detail. She is also humble and will admit any faults, and will be quick to re-do something for you if she is not happy with it (e.g., say, a noticeable bubble that formed mid-way) -- this is a trait I have never observed in any other nail salon, because, understandably so, bigger salons want people in and out as soon as possible. Another ++ is that she is very hip to new trends, and is personally invested in this industry. A huge underrated trait! She always buys new products and nail polish, and she doesn't use cheap products. I always take my friends to see her when they are in town, and they leave very happy / satisfied. I look forward to my appointments because I get to share great conversation with her too :) Thank you and I will be back!! read more

Agree with Julian below. The owner is RACIST! I really like Euni who works for her but she treats her so bad. Berates her in front of customers and verbally abusive to her. The owner did my nails once, and they were AWFUL. They started cracking less than three days later and I had to go back for her to fix them. Ever since then, she over charges me $8 a nail for ANY design and says its because I need them thick. She advises my tec to charge me more and I have the receipts to prove it! SHE IS OVER CHARGING ME AND I WILL BE REVERSING ALL PAYMENTS. Whenever I discuss price with my tec, she lowers the music to listen to make sure I AM BEING OVER CHARGED. When she is talking about you, she talks in KOREAN and then goes back to english. When ever she talks to me, she is SO RUDE. She told me... I need to learn how to communicate because she was miss informed. EUNI, pls leave this place. You deserve better. You are so talented and very nice. My husband is a employment law attorney for one of the top LA firms, I have told him about you and the treatment and he is willing to help you! read more

My girlfriend recently went on her appointment time booked via text message only to find out she was double booked and service was refused. Prior to the appointment, she sent additional messages which were left on read and there were no follow-ups. When she showed up to her appointment time, that was when she was told that she was double booked and there were no attempts to find a solution. Please don't waste people's time. Perhaps invest in an appointment tracking system and outline clearly what the appointment process is other than texting, which is ineffective if you don't respond. read more

I didn't want to do this but my experience was lackluster and super disappointing. It was overpriced for average work and minimal art. I paid $240 for gel removal for both my hands and feet, a regular pedi and gel mani with a VERY simple design. Although the salon appears to be clean, she reuses the same nail file for multiple clients. The tools and supplies looked old/worn. I witnessed the nail tech put a used towel back in the warmer. They also complained how they have cockroaches. The pedi couch was uncomfortable. My back was hurting the entire time. It did not include a massage nor buffing of the heels. I left with a sloppy paint job and uneven nails. The mani. I did not get the artwork I wanted regardless of pictures, text communication and a short convo at the start of my appointment. I requested magnet with 3d squiggles/texture on a couple of nails. I ended up with magnet nails and one holographic sticker. Sloppy paint and file job that felt rushed. I would not return and definitely do not recommend this place. Listen to the reviews. I ignored them hoping for a better experience but feel completely let down. read more

Our Christmas and New Years are already looking bright with our new fabulous nails! Joanail is situated in a lovely corner of a hair salon and is a one-woman business run by the amazing Joanne~ Her attention to detail and dedication to nail art are unlike other nail technicians'. She was able to easily cater to our styles and reference pictures that we saved on our phones. The price is reasonable and much cheaper compared to many nail salons in ktown. Parking is also free in the lot. Will definitely be back for a new design! read more

AMAZING NAIL ARTIST. I was having a hard time finding a place to do the kind of nail art I wanted and Joanne ticked off all the boxes. The nails came out amazing and she was very nice and hospitable.

First post COVID nail time~ Joanne and I had so much fun deciding over all the different colors and designs before I settled for a basic gradient design.

Joanne did an amazing job with my nails today. I showed her an image, and she was able to recreate the look. My hands looks so pretty after she did my nails! She is very detailed oriented, and had great service. Making an appointment is also very easy, just text her. Parking is very convenient too because it is validated garage parking. Will definitely be going back! read more

Overall, the experience was not satisfactory. She started my appointment a half an hour late. I asked for round nails and she made them almond shaped. The designs she did looked really wonky an uneven. The heart and bear design I asked for are noticeably bigger on my right hand compared to the left. Additionally, the color flooded into my cuticles on my ring finger. The design she did does not match my reference pictures either. She was also rushing through the entire appointment because she was running late due to her starting the appointment late. I'm willing to pay for good service, but I feel like the price I paid was not worthy of the set I recieved. $120 felt like a lot, considering my set was rushed and wasn't up to expectations. Last time, Euni did my nails, and they looked amazing. Though, she has since left. I am sad to say I will not be returning. read more

Absolutely the worst. The weirdest and most unwelcoming environment ever. The rudeness, the classist and MEAN attitude, oh, god. It's one of the nasty places that make you feel like you're begging for the service you are paying for. Definitely don't deserve my money. read more

This nail place is a hidden jem. Joann really takes her time with the clients and enjoys doing her job. I usually gravitate towards fancy nails and joann understood my taste. I've been to many different nail salons in koreatown and joann was the only one who did not complain about the design I have brought in. She's very responsive and works around your schedule as well so if you want to get your nails done give this place a try! P.S: the picture does not due its justice, it's really really pretty. read more

Found her on Instagram and messaged her about loving her work. Followed all the rules to book an appointment with her. I booked my appointment with her and told my sister to book an appointment too, moments later she just texted me "I will cancel your appointment saturday". I asked her why and she never replied, and moments later I found out she canceled on me to book my sister because she was going to get done something more expensive! We both asked for and explanation and she never replied. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL! read more

I really enjoyed my nail service with Joanne. She took her time with my nails and they are beautiful. I just spent 6 months in London where my nail techs were so patient and detail oriented. After coming home I tried a new place and my nails were missing that certain thing...elegance. Not a problem here. Joanne cares about her work and doesn't rush. If you have time and the money you will not be disappointed. read more

Joanne is the best!!!! She spends a great amount of time and care to ensure your nails are done just right. She is very careful with your hands and cuticles and is so talented with different styles of nail art. My mom and 5 year old daughter are big fans, too!

Recommend to find somewhere else if you want nails extensions that last. I came in to get a Pedi and nail extension; the Pedi turned out fine. However, the Nail extensions quality was not good at all. I can see the nails lifting on the sides, bubbles under some of the nail.. Overall just doesn't look good for it only being two days since I got them done. She also attempted to charge me $165 at first, to than $145, which I still think is overpriced, seeing the lack of quality. I tried to reach out to her, but she is ignoring my messages. read more

I've been to her twice now and I won't be going back. The first time I went was awhile ago and I think it's when she first opened. But when I went recently her attitude and customer service was horrible. You can tell she doesn't value her customer maybe now that she's getting some business and but it honestly shows. There are so many nail places to go to. I highly suggest she reevaluates the way she treats her customers and does her business. You can't complain about every little thing that inconveniences YOU to like YOUR life and work situation. Your customers life does not revolve around you. Life just doesn't work that way. As for the nails it's really nothing special. Some of the nails are lumpy not smooth and she charges a little more than my usual go to place who does a way better job. read more

My last nail salon I went to ended up closing so in search of a new one tried a few places but was not satisfactory until I found JOA nail^^ I actually found that I had met the owner Joanne b4 and she is super nice and attentive to detail.

I believe I found my new manicurist! Yay! read more

Joanne is amazing! There's a lot of nail salons closer to me, but none that take the time and care that Joanne does, so it's worth the drive. Her skill level is on point, and she's very artistic in her work. I like places that offer a lot of creative options such as colors, jewel stones and ability to do ombre, and this place has that. You can bring her any idea or photo and she'll either find a way to create it identically or make it better. If you want a clean, modern salon with no waiting and excellent service, this is the place to go. You'll get the best service with someone who is kind, pays attention to detail and provides a great experience! read more

Joanne is the best! I can not recommend her enough. She is super sweet and I don't understand why people are saying she is rude. Joanne is extremely talented and attentive to detail and will nail any design you give her. This is a one person shop and she really cares about providing quality service and isn't like other shops where their main focus is getting as many people in and out as possible. As someone who was a chronic nail biter and unfamiliar with the manicure process, she not only completely transformed my nail bed and overall nail health but also explained throughout each step to make me feel comfortable. Also bonus points for offering free parking in an area where finding parking is an absolute nightmare. She is 100% worth it! read more

BEST GEL MANICURE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I'm hesitant to write this because I don't want Joann to get so busy that it's impossible to book but here's why she is the best manicurist I've ever met. I'm VERY particular with what i want. So if your interests are different from mine, my review may apply less to you. I don't have the prettiest hands and when i get a manicure, i don't want cool designs or colors, i want my nails and hands to look healthy, natural, clean and pretty. I have short nail beds so im VERY picky that someone can create an illusion as if i have those gorgeous pointy, cat nail types you see on hand models. I also hate how a gel looks after just one week and you start seeing the growth of your natural nail at the bottom. I also don't like how gels can look thick as if you had acrylics on. If i had pretty hands, i wouldn't get gel manicures but since i need someone to transform my hand, i need someone who understands how to shape and apply nail polish in a very skilled way that compliments my hand. I've been to Hana nails, both Coco nails, bellacures, had japanese calgel and many of the Koreatown spots (i do think koreans do nails best, Japanese second best), and never met someone who shapes, paints and designs like Joann. Its like getting a haircut by a designer who understands how to study your face and cut your hair so it compliments your UNIQUE face. I've never met anyone like that. My nails are so natural, shaped as if i have naturally gorgeous nail beds which make my hand look so much prettier, and she did a natural gradation so you can't tell it's been a week or more. I really hope she doesn't change her incredibly detailed approach as she becomes more successful, which I'm sure she will, but I've never seen ANYONE do what she did for my hands today. She also has the most beautiful nail polish that I've never seen- nail polish that looks sheer yet somehow provides just as much coverage as a non sheer color. Its AMAZING. I TRULY respect anyone that takes their craft so seriously and its obvious Joann takes her nail work so seriously. So knowledgeable about nails and hand designs.Hands down. She is the best I've met. read more
