    I want a refund
    Janina ..

    Worst nail experience I have ever had . My nails turned out horrible . He offered to take off the charge of cat eye . But I should have got a full refund . The service wasn't great. He did my nails so fast and I told him I wasn't in a rush and he said he just did nails fast. It was just all a bad experience. I also take clients there and I will no longer bring my clients there .

    I found this place a month ago by chance as my usual nail salon had been over booked. At LA brea nails, I was greeted by the owner and his staff, luck would have it I was seated with the new owner Jimmi. He immediately began the process and took time with his work on my acrylics. They have a large variety of shades, gels, powders and additional services to be added if needed. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the owner made me feel pampered with his patience and attention to detail. I will never go back to my old tech as I had started to feel their work was getting sloppy as time went I just didn't feel like an important or special customer but a job. This salon treats every customer special regardless of money spent or services. Best quality care and service hands down. This place is the best! Jimmi, thank you again for providing your very best everytime!

    Amazing service this is my third time coming to them and they always give me what I want. Especially design wise, it's hard finding a place that can create a similar design. I asked for a Halloween design with ghosts, showed a photo for reference and it came out so cute. Highly recommend this place! Very happy with the service! Will be continuing to go

    Jimmy what happened to your smile & customer service & skill? My daughter & I are so disappointed. The stripe on my ring finger should have been vertical which is what I wanted but you didn't ask you just painted. And the shape of my nails look terrible nothing like the way you did them before. As for my daughter she is just too disappointed nothing like the pic she showed you. Sigh oh well need a new nail place.

    I've been coming here for years / so conveniently located right off Brea Blvd. They can always take walk ins, and I think they have recently renovated - place looks great. Always top notch, friendly service.

    Wedding prep!

    6/19/2020 OPEN! Thank you Jimmy and team for following the safety precautions to make us feel safe. Call for an appointment, because regulations limit seating in the salon. SO HAPPY to be back. Jimmy makes you feel welcomed every time. Every staff does beautiful work. General and professional. Walk in or make an appointment

    Cat eyed. Fun for Halloween.

    See all

    100000% recommend coming here for your nails! I've been to so many different salons and have paid…read moreupwards to $400, but haven't ever really been totally satisfied. But wow... Ellen is truly phenomenal! Every single time, she completely delivered! Actually-- she did even better than my inspo photos! She's super meticulous from start to finish, and really listens to what you're wanting!

    Update: The owner…read moredid sincerely apologize after I sent her a photo of my thumb infected with pus underneath. I would have loved a sincere apology from Ellen but at least the owner seemed apologetic for my horrific experience. I will not be returning because I am not risking getting my cuticles cut and infected a third time. I hope they will learn from this and be more careful in the sensitive parts of a client's nails. ------------ Unfortunately I did not want to write this review but after receiving such a nonchalant response from the owner and nail artist themselves, I feel like it is my responsibility to write an honest review about my experience here. I had such a wonderful experience getting my nails done in Korea so I wanted to look up a place that offered Korean style nails. I found purrple nails which was conveniently located near me with a staff filled of Korean artists. My first experience was with Soo and she did fine I guess. I like that she was detailed about her design but she did cut my cuticle once and was very rough with drilling. For those who don't know, drilling gets hot and the artist should know to lift it every few seconds to not burn the person's skin. Because I liked the design so much, I made a second appointment to give another artist a try. This second appointment was with Ellen. She was sooo rough when it came down to removing the polish and cleaning and cutting the cuticles. One of my cuticles started bleeding a lot and she just used the dust to stop the bleeding but did not apologize once. I let it go. But after getting home, I noticed my cuticles and fingers were so tender and red. I decided to let time heal but it's been a week and my right thumb is still swollen and tender. It's painful to touch. I told the owner and Ellen and after some back and forth, they finally did apologize. However it left kind of a sour taste in my mouth because it just seemed like they brushed it off thinking 10 percent off the next appointment would really make up for the pain I'm having in my finger. Not sure if I will come back. The owner asked me to try another artist but how do I prevent this from happening a third time?

    Such a beautiful start to my girls day at EWC!…read more It was sunday and I had planned the entire day of pampering with my bff! We walked into EWC on a whim in the hopes of snagging an eyebrow appointment and was super duper happy we were able to do just that! Since our impromptu appointments were back to back, we shared a room and were both treated by the lovely Leticia. First up was me, I laid on the table and told her I just wanted things cleaned up and she immediately got to work. 3 minutes later and I looked a bit more polished and pristine with my clean eyebrows. Then she took care of my bff who added on an upper lip wax. We both were super happy with our results. Leticia was amazing and super knowledgable! This girl knew her stuff and she is beloved as well (we noticed someone a little bummed that they couldn't get an appointment with her...so you know she's just that good) she told us how to properly fill in our brows and little factoids about our arches. We all laughed and had a ball for the 20 minutes we got our waxes. Lovely little experience at EWC! Friends who wax together, stay friends forever!

    I came in as a walk in for an eyebrow wax and was told there was no availability for another 40…read moreminutes so I proceeded to book that available slot and went to kill 40 minutes at that same shopping center so I wouldn't have to drive back and fourth and unfortunately by the time I walked back to the European wax center they told me they couldn't provide me the service because of the 5 min late policy and that the tech was already on her break and they could book me for another day blah blah blah. I was so disappointed they would turned me away over 5 minutes after I killed almost an hour at the shopping center for my appointment. Felt they could be more understanding about me being 5 minutes late but I will not be going back. I gave 3 stars cuz I liked the girl tech who assists me but availability always sucks and my last experience was worse.

I have been on a journey with my skin for years, and I've tried so many different things to achieve the results I've been wanting for the past 20 years. Prices are very reasonable also. Through a series of facials and chemicals peels, pilar has achieved the results I've been dreaming about. Look at my before pictures and after pictures. My confidence has never been so high, and I actually look at people in the eyes now. Pilar offers so many different treatments, which is so refreshing. I'm very picky with my face, and when it comes to pilar, I trust her with my life. Pictures are raw and not filtered. They speak for itself. Thank you vital touch - Pilar

It was ok, then after awhile she just seemed to get comfortable and would still leave hairs that I'd have to pluck when I got home to check better! Ouch! Come on ladies for those who know.

She's extremely through in her work. She takes pride for sure. I love how I am left BALD! For my Brazilian. Not a single hair left. I LOVE IT! thank you so much Vanessa for taking good care of me and making it such a fun, and easy experience. I look forward to continue seeing you.
