    I had such a great experience at La Brea Nails. The ladies there are sweethearts. I got the Cat Eye gel manicure and Milk Honey pedicure package. The mimosas, massages and aroma therapy made it truly feel like a spa experience. If you want to treat yourself with a relaxing time while getting your nails done, I'd recommend you give this place a try. I'm satisfied with both the level of care and detail they provided me.

    I was a walk in and they served me so well! I went in for a manicure and I left getting a stellar manicure but also used their waxing services. Everyone was so nice, the shop was so clean. They have tons of color options and offered me a complimentary drink, I was there in the morning so I chose a Vietnamese coffee and it was so good! I will definitely be back

    Joanne was so awesome and I loved how my nails turned out. I called an hour before closing to see if I could be seen and she was able to get me in. She was attentive and kind throughout the whole service. I would totally go back again.

    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 .

    Beautiful pedi spa treatment!

    Lots of options and great treatment. Nice atmosphere and a complimentary drink too! My toes came out great and I'm relaxed.

    Amazing service, very friendly and sweet staff. They always checked in to see if I wanted to change anything about my nails and were happy to do any adjustments! I walked out feeling like a princess

    I even got a free mimosa

    Amazing service the girls here are so nice and friendly. I came to get a pedicure last week and had to come back again for a manicure because they're just that good! Emmy is the best!! Highly recommend!!

    The customer service was great and I am in love with my nails! Would definitely recommend

    "The staff here are so friendly and welcoming, specially Emmy & Joyce. It's a great experience every time. I'm obsessed with this nail art! You perfectly captured what I asked for. That shape is perfect. You really know how to make my hands look elegant." Thank you and happy Mother's Day to all of you".

    I am absolutely delighted with my new set of nails today! Emily was incredibly professional and witty, and Emmy took excellent care of me during my pedicure; I felt completely relaxed after a tiring day at work. I am extremely pleased with the recent changes at La Brea Nails, and I will definitely be recommending them to everyone. Thanks!

    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!

    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?

    Horrible. Zero star…read more Made an appt and told them what I want done. My appt time was ~1.5 hours before they close. I was excited and drove 1/2 hour to try Korean nail salon. Prep for gel plus 1 extension took more than 2 hours then after the prep, they filed my nails down. They filed it so short and was unattentive that they filed off my skin and it started to bleed. It took longer than expected and I had to leave and was to return the next day. Thankfully I left because my filed down skin continued to bleed for an hour or more after. Gel and design took another ~2 hours. Total time almost 4 hours (+ 2 hours of driving time). Price was almost double other places I go to. Then less then 10 days after, the entire gel came off for one nail...next day, another...and next day a couple more. At least it came off neatly rather than chipped. At this point, I easily peeled off the rest. I messaged them and they offered to give me a free redo. Thank you but no thank you. I am not about to waste another 4+ hours and spend gas money all to risk getting an infection. Please hire properly trained and certified nail techs. Because other reviews have mentioned nail tech cutting down cuticles to the point of bleeding and nails chipping or coming off.

Crystal is very reliable, her services are excellent, and her prices are very reasonable. As others have said, Crystal normalizes the entire experience of waxing, which, let's face it, can feel pretty awkward. Crystal is a professional and makes every effort to reduce the pain, checking in throughout the process. With time, I've had body parts waxed that I was initially too embarrassed to admit needed waxing. For example, my nose. Haha! The best part is that I have definitely seen a reduction in hair regrowth, especially on my legs, because of waxing. Yay!!! Setting up appointments is easy and wait times are short. The shop is adorable, just like Crystal! It is clean and inviting. Abundant parking is available. I highly recommend Wax Off and Crystal - you will not be disappointed!

I only booked a Brazilian and asked if i could add in the armpits, Crystal accommodated my request and always goes out of her way to make sure you get what you need done! Thank you for being so professional, understanding and accommodating. I will be sure to come back every 21 days! Until next time, see you sooner than later!!
