Karina O.

Great service and friendly, relaxing vibes and they offer complimentary drinks, I had a mimosa and it was delicious. Great job on my mani and pedi.

Yvette M.

Amazing service! Joan and Ammy were fantastic. They used innovative techniques that made my nails look amazing. Their attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. I love the results and will definitely be coming back!

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.

Red and swollen on the right side of my big toe

I got a pedicure yesterday and my big toe has been hurting so bad. It's swollen and red, she dug too deep and I don't know what she did, but I would not recommend. It was an older lady. Also, I went with my mom and the lady she got didn't even let her choose the color she wanted. She made her change it 4x.

Love this nail salon, all the staff is nice. They greet you and service you a complementary drink of your choice. It's clean and fresh in there, service is top tier, relaxing and quiet nail salon. There work is amazing and lasts long. They take the time with you!

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 .

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!!

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.

I'm extremely disappointed with my first experience at European Wax Center. I paid for a full…read moreBrazilian wax, but when I got home I realized that multiple areas had been missed and there were still several noticeably long hairs left behind. During the appointment, the wax specialist appeared to notice some of the missed hairs and began tweezing them, which became so painful that I had to ask her to stop. I understand that no service is always going to be absolutely perfect, but for the amount I paid, I expected the Brazilian wax to actually be completed and checked thoroughly before I left. I also have an upcoming trip and do not have the time to make another trip back to the location just to have a service corrected that should have been done properly the first time. What made the experience even more disappointing was that I contacted the location afterward to explain what happened and give them the opportunity to make it right, and I felt that nothing was offered to resolve the situation. I wasn't expecting anything unreasonable-- even a partial refund, credit, or some acknowledgment of the incomplete service would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, after both the quality of the wax and the way my concern was handled afterward, I don't feel confident returning.

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!

Mindy rips them out with enough power to make them think twice about returning.  Inevitably, they return but they have to deal with a fierce opponent in this mighty Waxer. Everything is clean and Mindy is so great at making you feel comfortable, especially when waxing those private parts. She is reasonably priced, worth the drive and always fits me in last minute into her schedule.

I came right on…read morethe dot of my appointment time so I wasn't sure if that was the reason why I didn't get a warm welcome or if that's just the esthetician's personality. She wasn't rude but she was just straight to the point. Just like another reviewer stated, I never got an introduction. I will say she was actually pretty gentle, just like the name suggests. However, this was my very first time getting a Brazilian wax so I was actually very nervous. Although she tried to have small talk with me, I didn't really feel welcomed. I also didn't get any post care instructions, which I had to ask about for myself and all she told me was to leave the area alone for 24 hours. It's a fine studio if you just want a quick in and out appointment and it's not your first time getting a wax.

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!!
