I try to go elsewhere because sometimes it can be pricey. Every little thing is an add on to the price BUT I MUST SAY!!!.... That they use QUALITY materials and you cannot beat that. I try to go to more cost efficient places, but I'm only saving about $15 on average only for my nails to start popping off 4 to 7 days later You spend so much on nails regardless of where you go, you might as well have them LAST!!! These DO NOT LIFT no matter who does your nails! Which is the most important part to me. But side note: IVANIA IS AMAZING! She's my fave. One can besides price is that it can be tricky getting an appointment with the gal you prefer. And walk ins don't exist, for a person that's very last minute and wants to cancel without a fee, that can be annoying. But for great nails, you can get used to that. So moral of the story is, yes I'll pay $15-20 more for quality that will last me weeks versus days. And if you keep it simple without designs, it's actually the same as the other guys! read more

Laque Nail Bar - These were done by Vicky - Nail Salons Near Me - North Hollywood, California

So disappointed I have been coming here for a few years since they open their doors I booked a pedi put down the deposit rushed from a long day at work to make my appointment at 7:00pm on a Thursday I got there 6:50pm the door was locked no one in I thought maybe they were on a break till 7 waited nothing I called no one picked up waited for 20 min no one showed up i emailed never got a response or call back... read more

Actually I didn't get my nails done but the girls at the counter really tried to help me with a walk in I appreciate them and will try again another time just because they were kind ! It looked like a great spot ! read more

I went to get a pedi today, place is very nice and they were very accommodating which was great since I showed up on a Saturday without appointment. Everyone seems very nice but unfortunately I didn't get for the service I was expecting. The person who did my pedi was "done" in less than 10 mins. She removed my nail polish then put my feet in water for about 30 seconds and then scrubbed, put lotion and the disposable sandals were on. she took about 15 mins with the nail polish because she would wait for it to dry before adding another coat, so this leaves my pedi time between 25 to 30mins. My friend who went with me asked me if she was done and I said idk. Then my technician "removed" my cuticles in my pinkies and then she passed that instrument quickly on a couple of my other toes. Then she kinda pushed my cuticles with something that I don't know how it's called but DID NOT go on the sides to remove the dirt that accumulates there. And this is how my toes ended up looking after the pedi. PS. My toe nail is broken And I told her it did need to get it repaired so that's on me. read more

I have been coming here since 2021, and this is the only nail salon that I go to. I have tried many places prior, living in Los Angeles, there are many to choose from, but compared to other places that are just as popular and keep up with all the nail trends/designs; Laque beats the competition with its reasonable prices, top quality work, and skilled artists. The salon itself is beautiful, everything is sanitized by the hour, the staff are friendly and the owner, Marina, is very accommodating and hospitable to her clients. Ellen, Guzal, Karmine, and Valentina are my go-to nail artists, you won't be disappointed! They are very thorough, detailed, and take pride in their work. read more

I was really looking forward to visiting Laque Nail Bar after hearing great reviews for over a decade. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. This morning, I scheduled a same-day appointment through their website for 9:30 a.m. I even drove approximately 25 miles to get there. I arrived at 9:15 a.m., only to find the salon dark and empty. At 9:30 a.m., the lights were still off and the door was locked. I waited until 10 a.m., trying multiple times to call, email, and message them on social media with no response. Finally, at 10:10 a.m., I received a call back. I was told that they had no record of my appointment on their calendar. When I asked if they opened at 9 a.m., the answer was yes--but since they didn't see any appointments scheduled, they decided to run errands instead of being at the salon. When I inquired about the 50% deposit, she acknowledged the website says that, but that is no longer policy. They did offer for me to come back, but at that point, I was already heading back to the South Bay. This level of customer service is unacceptable, especially for a business that requires a 50% deposit and enforces a strict cancellation policy for its customers. The salon did not honor its own posted business hours or my confirmed booking. I expected much more from a place with such a long-standing reputation. Sadly, this experience makes me hesitant to recommend or return to Laque Nail Bar. read more

Wish I could give zero stars. It's giving what I ordered versus what I got. ‍ Look at those photos. How can anyone justify that? I've been coming here for quite a while with Mindy and she's been gone but this is the second issue with the owner that I've experienced. Notice all of the responses she gives are excuses and explanations trying to be absolved of all blame and never true apologies or accountability. Just lots of passive aggressive nastiness. She is worse in person. I'm a business owner. I understand how to make actual apologies. Do better. Now to the service itself. Design was absolutely awful. Brought in a picture and explicitly asked if it could be done. I was told yes. It was never mentioned that it would be an additional $5 per nail for my design or I would have chosen a different one. $50 extra for nails shouldn't just be sprung on someone at checkout. She had to re-do the design repeatedly because it was so absolutely amateur. Not even the lines were straight. To add insult to injury, when I showed the owner how awful it was, there was excuse after excuse. "Photoshop". "This is someone else's photo". "They used different materials". What?? If a tech doesn't have the technical skills, they need to say NO so I can choose a design they CAN do. That's not hard and everyone wins. I was appalled at how bad these came out. Never once was I offered an apology or even any kind of compassion for how awful these turned out for $140 + tip despite saying on Yelp how they would make things right if your service was poor. What a lie. This place should be embarrassed to let people walk out like that and worse, Marina is truly a heartless business owner. Never ever again. You should be ashamed to treat paying customers like this. Shame on you. Image I showed on the left. What I got on the right. Just... wow. Also Marina, do not respond to me with your snarky comebacks. Maybe one day you can own how you treat people which most of the negative reviews here all have in common. When someone is unhappy, attempt to work with them. This is how you keep loyal customers. Taking zero blame doesn't fly anymore. Be better. UPDATE: responding to Marina- so many lies here, Marina. Shame on you, really. This was June 30th, 2022. Not 2 years ago. And unfortunately for you, there is not a statute of limitations on reviews so... sorry not sorry. At the time, I could only post this to your Google page because reviews on your Yelp weren't being added. So tada! Here I am and I haven't forgotten. No, this was absolutely NOT addressed, the tech did NOT tell me the pricing, YOU DID upon payment which is why I explained to YOU how bad of a job it was and that the rate is not justified. I would not have agreed to an extra $50. No way. Remember when I said, hey, I've been coming here a long time and spent a lot of money here and you said "people have come here and spent way more than you"? Remember that? Oh I do. I hope one day to see you own how you treat people. But I doubt it. You just like to gaslight people and treat them like second class citizens then lie about the experience to unsuspecting readers. They're not dumb. They can all see the bad reviews are all about YOU and how you treat people. All of the negative reviews about *you* cannot ALL be wrong, Marina. Do better. read more

So here I am 10 days into my FULL ACRYLIC GEL SET and boom two nails ALREADY MISSING!!! Not only did she do my nails crooked! They already are breaking off! Very nice lady but the nails were TERRIBLE!!! Im an entertainer and I cant even show my nails when Im doing shows or at events because ppl are gonna see how crooked they are! UPDATED RESPONSE: This company is HORRIBLE. The fact that I been getting my nails done with acrylic for 18 years and Ive been going to CHILL NAILS SPA with NO NAIL BREAKS....proves my point as they are NOT a good nail shop. The owner responding just proves that their defensive to cover up their poor nail skills. NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!! read more

If I could give 0 stars i would. Terrible experience. First, when I walked in, I wasn't greeted by anyone I was just told to sit down while everyone behind the counter was talking to one another. I tried asking what kind of pedicure I booked and if it was gel or regular nail polish and they just told me to sit down. About 10 minutes later I was taken to sit down and I asked again if it was gel or regular and they didn't know. While everyone was talking, I could've either been picking out my colors or they could've figured out what type of pedicure I got. The massages were not good and barely had any effort. I left with mud still on my legs and heels that were not smoothed out. After leaving my appointment, I noticed about two hours later that my nails had already started to chip. I woke up the following morning and more than half of my nails have a chipped. I called the manager to let them know, and they said that there was nothing they could do except repaint them, and it would not come with any of the massages or rest of the service that was included with the manicure. Manager on the phone was really rude and not professional and was not willing to understand my frustrations and kept saying that the nail polish takes 24 hours to fully dry and that your nails are gonna chip no matter what. So then what's the point of a manicure?? DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE TERRIBLE ALL AROUND read more

Karmine is a great nail tech. I've been getting my rubber base gel nails done by her for months. She preserves the quality of my natural nail when redoing them. I appreciate her work and will continue to book with her because I love how they look and get a lot of compliments of her work. I will add, I prefer a natural set so I always do sheer nude shades and a short/medium length. read more

highly disappointed with the lack of professionalism i've experienced today. i've been coming here for years so this truly comes with a surprise regarding the rating. i booked a hybrid appointment over a week ago for my birthday. i showed up just to be convinced to do a different style than what i booked for, just to be told that their shipment kept being delayed, also the appointment was booked for 11am and the lash tech wasn't even there nor was she reachable to inform how late she was going to be. point number one, if equipment that is needed for a specific appointment kept being delayed over a multitude of days than any any every appointment that was booked for that service should've been contacted in advance to give the customer the option of cancelling or a different style if they choose to proceed. point number two, how an an employee be late and not inform an ETA for the client that's waiting on them. clearly if a set time is booked, then it needs to be respected or at least some form of communication. the lady at the front desk stated that she tried multiple times to get an update from the last tech and she was ignored. read more

Laque Nail Bar - Stiletto Acrylic - Nail Salons Near Me - North Hollywood, California

If you've been wanting to check out this nail bar, I definitely recommend it. I used to go here all the time however, if I'm honest, I do feel like it's a bit pricey for what it is. Now, maybe it's just because I wanted certain designs and I'll say any of the artist I have had have always created really gorgeous nails on me. I have no complaint there. I was not a fan of the eyelash service though. I tried doing it and I started to notice more and more of my natural lashes falling off until I just wasn't able to get my lashes anymore. Which with my new girl, I haven't had that situation. I will admit I think the vibe is gorgeous. I absolutely loved walking in and getting to see the look of everything. It's very girly and feminine, but feels very chic at the same time. I would recommend making an appointment though because I do know that they can get busy. I'd recommend getting your nails or a pedicure there. I've always felt really nice and taken care of whenever I was there. read more

It was my first time coming to this nail salon. The atmosphere was very clean, positive, and had an overall great aesthetic. I got my nails done with Mindy, and she did a phenomenal job. I highly recommend her! She's really sweet and very skilled. I'm definitely coming back here. I'm happy I found a place to do my nails by my house. read more

The woman who works the front desk and answers the phone is a greedy heartless relentless person. I got into a serious car accident on my way to my appointment and had the consideration to call and cancel my appointment ahead of time instead of no showing and she said she was still going to charge me $30 for canceling within 48 hours. I even told her I'd send the police report as proof and she could care less. No other nail salon charges for an emergency cancellation. Absolutely down right absurd read more

Booked the Dirty Martini pedi. My manicurist, Anoush (spelling?), started cutting my big toenail all the way into my hyponychium. I had to say "ow" twice before she stopped! This was the first toe she started on too! I started to walk out but thought I'd give a chance still, especially since I've been wanting to try Laque out for a while now but they were always booked when I was free. She clipped the rest fine, but took forever to file. One of the toes was uneven to where half was higher than the other and was splintered at the higher edge. I pointed it out to her and she started filing a COMPLEYELY DIFFERENT nail! I told her no, it's this one- and pointed to the one I had JUST pointed to. Then she starts filing towards the side wall instead of the free edge where I pointed out! I told and asked her, "No, not there... You don't see that!?" She filed a little and then said she was going to file all of the nails again. At that point, the skin on the big toe started hurting more and I told her to leave it and not file anymore. When she applied the scrub to my feet, the irritated skin on my big toe started to burn and I had to ask for the manager, Jen. Jen apologize and told me they don't do acrylic on toes (I didn't even ask for that) and they wouldn't do it on exposed skin anyway. I asked her what am I supposed to do about my toe, though? She said that I could just finish the pedicure at this point because I was pretty far in. Or that I could cut my other big toe down to even. But I didn't want my toes that short to begin with!!! So, no thanks! I asked her how much more till I could leave because I was irritated and just wanted to get out of there at that point and that I was not paying full price. She suggested a new manicurist finish and I agreed. She then started mentioning the name of a different pedicure that I didn't book and I started getting confused. She was telling the manicurist to downgrade to the next pedicure! So I made sure she knew I wanted everything that's included in the pedi I booked. She affirmed that, but then turned her back to me with the new manicurist and started talking low so I couldn't hear. I thought that was weird. The new manicurist, Gabby was very nice and she did a good job, very gentle. Then towards the end she slid my shoes to me without doing the parafin wax. She said the manager told her that I SAID I DIDNT WANT IT, so don't do it for me!!! What the hell!!!? I knew the manager was being weird when she turned her back! I guess since I said I was not paying full price she was going to give me a lesser service, even though my toe is jacked now because of THEIR manicurists mistake and it hurts just having my shoe on! I told her that was incorrect and to please do the parafin! They only gave $5 discount. Not acceptable, in my opinion, for the pain AND for being LIED on by the manager about what I didn't want! I had cash, which I should've used to pay what I thought fair for the service and treatment by the manager- but at that point I just wanted to get the hell out of there because I had been there so long! My appointment was at 10am. I left at 12:37.... And that's WITHOUT getting polished! Ridiculous!!! I will NEVER go back there! I regret trying them out! It's going to take so long for my nail to grow out and i can't wear polish until it does! Also, my skin is still rough on my foot! I thought it'd be better after the parafin, but when I got home it's still the same!!! I only gave one star because of Gabby... if it weren't for her, ZERO!!! read more

I've been getting pedicures at Laque for some time now and have loved the experience & it's been a place I recommend to others. However, after my last visit (recently), it was the most painful and upsetting pedicure I've had. My nails were cut so short and the lady doing my toes actually hurt me. I said "ouch" about 3x and she completely ignored me. I should have stopped the entire pedicure but not only did I drive for almost 40minutes, I was so excited to treat myself. As for the color, I asked for a baby pink and she kept bringing me shades of purple. I don't know how many times I said pink, I just settled for the last color she brought me. I had to ask for sandals to walk out with, even when she knew me toes were still wet. I talked to the receptionist and it felt as she didn't even care how upset I was. A day later and my toes look horrible. The entire experience was so upsetting, I don't even know if I want to go back or even recommend laque if this is what people will experience. read more

Laque Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I had very high expectations for this place, and was HIGHLY disappointed. I had follow their IG page for years and always wanted to try them, but I hadn't since I didn't live near by, I finally moved to LA and was excited to try this place. Little to say I was disappointed from the start. Upon entering, the lady at the front desk had a rude attitude, but whatever I was excited to get my nails done and understand that everyone has a bad day from time to time... I waited for about 15 minutes (after my appointment) until my mail tech was finally ready. She was nice however seemed new (which she was), i sat down and told her that I wanted to change my shape from almond to coffin (which I've done before no issues), she said ok that she could do it... then I showed her the design I wanted an she recommended that it will be better to get a new set so I can do that design... I agreed and told her it was fine, let's do a new set. I've been doing my nails for YEARS and have always had intricate designs done... gems, hand painted nail art, 3D designs... anything... so I know how long it can take ( the Longest my nails have ever taken have been 1.45h - very intricate design with pearls, ombré mermaid scales, and hardware), how ever my nails in this visit took 3 HOURS!!!! The nail tech took almost an hour taking my old set out... then took about another hour and a half putting a new set in and about 35/45 minutes doing the color/design. How is this possible ! My appointment was for 2 hours (which I thought was long to begin with) and ended being there 3! Like wtf! I also asked for skinny coffin shape... this was not what I got. When I was finally done I was very disappointed w the end result. The nails are super thick, not the right shape, and the design was disappointing for the amount of time this whole process took. By the end of my visit, when I went to pay I tried to complain about how long this took and all the lady in the front could tell me is "our nail techs take their time and everyone works differently..." hmm I get taking your time, my previous nail tech took her time too and yet never took longer than an hour 45. Also, I would of really appreciated if I would of been told from the start that the nail tech doing my nails was NEW! Literally her first day... she didn't know where things were and had to borrow tools from other techs... if I would of known this from the start I would of requested somebody else. Overall, definitely not worth the hype, money or time... bad customer service and bad work for the amount of money you pay. For sure will not be going back. read more

Laque Nail Bar - This design too over 3 hours .... - Nail Salons Near Me - North Hollywood, California

It was a couple of years before I had been back to Laque. Mostly because of how far it is from where I live and how impossible it is to get an appointment that suits my needs. I was so hyped and excited to be able to be back, and for what better occasion than my God Daughters 21st bday. I wanted to gift her something so special. This was it guys !!! I made an appointment so we can be next to each other to chit chat. I was very specific about it too. Welp. That's where this all started. We never got a chance to sit next to each other. Okay. I semi understood. Then when we took a little break, she came up to me and asked me if my fingers hurt. I said no? Why ?? She said hers were hurting so bad. I said. Say something. She did. The lame excuse and sorry excuse is that they buried the nails too deep but that the pain would go away in a couple of days after her regular nail starts growing ??????? What kind of sorry excuse is that ??? They could have taken them off and started over. Instead they told her to deal with the pain. I was so embarrassed with my God Daughter as this was something that was supposed to be so special for her. I was done be before she was and I I noticed the nail tech rushing and doing a sloppy job putting the stones. I said hey is this doing to stay ?? She said yes. But I can clearly see they were so sloppy and sure enough two days later they came off. I called the owner to tell her that 1- her fingers were still in pain and 2- the stones came off on the 2nd day !!!!!! She pretty much said that's the nature of things and that she told us that it would take days before her pain went away and that stones are that way but that we could go back and get the stones put back on. I told her but we live so far. $180 dollars later. Here we are. This is an embarrassment. read more

IZZY is the best! I've been going to this place for a few months now. I used to go to the Beverly Hills location before it closed down. I never knew they had a location in North Hollywood. I'm happy about that because I live 5min away. My all time favorite nail tech by far is Izzy. I hope I'm spelling that right. She is the best! I love her! I only go there just to see her! I'm very picky with my nails, and I must say she meets my expectations and more. I always get compliments on my nails. They not only look pretty, but they last me a month because I get Gel-X and she does a really good job. She knows what I like, and she takes her time. She explains every step, and also makes suggestions that I always agree on. She is friendly, and I feel like I've known her forever. We communicate very well, and that is important to me. The customer service is above and beyond. I don't know what I would do without her. read more

I've been going to Laque for almost 2 years. It is by far the best nail salon that I've ever been to and I've been to some nice ones. Let me explain... First and foremost, the owner Marina is a really nice and genuine person. People have talked all kinds of shit about her because they come in and want to act a total ass because they can't get their way. Let me tell you...I bow down to this woman for all the shit I've seen and heard her putting up with, because I have a much, much, much lower tolerance for bullshit! People can be extremely petty and want to argue over anything from not being able to be serviced right away because they are a walk-In and have to wait to them having some bruising or fungus under their nail and they're unable to get the complete service that they want. People have cussed at her, called her out of her name, and acted every bit of ignorant and stupid, while she still tries to be patient and help them! I've seen it! Someone like me...well let's just say, they wouldn't be able to finish their sentence, so I give her major props for her professionalism. Many are simple problems that could be rectified, if people would just listen, but when you get someone in front of you who's throwing around their privilege and who they are or who they know, it's time to throw their ass out! My second reason for coming here; ANNA! She is real, always professional, knows her shit, is artistic and talented, patient, and smart! I can appreciate someone like that! She always does an excellent job and I've never been disappointed. She is worth the time and my drive! My appointments with her always start on time and I really appreciate that she always makes sure that I am happy with my nails before I leave. They have a full service menu that includes nails and pedicures. Many of their services have yummy names, like the Bellini or the Mimosa. Their sugar scrubs also have delicious names like Bay Rum, White Peach Sangria, or Strawberries and Champagne! They even offer the Jack 'n Coke, which is a manicure/pedicure service for men. They also have services for kids. Laque is not just a nail salon. They also offer eyelash extensions, threading brow and body services, blowouts, hair cuts, color, and other hair treatments. Laque also offers Microblading and skincare services, such as various hydra facials and skin treatments. They also offer Microdermabrasion. I came here for Microblading and I'm really glad that I did. I love how mine turned out. I haven't had a chance to schedule a facial yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to the relaxation. The salon is hospital-grade clean and has gone way past requirements for a business operating during Covid. Prior to Covid, Marina had already had HEPA filters, and other items in place to clean the air and stave off any growth of bacteria. Since Covid, she upgraded even more, with all kinds of filters, touchless items, HVAC, air scrubbers, full screens between each station to ensure the safety of guests, shields between the guest and technicians, temperature monitors, use of EPA N-listed disinfectants, UVC technology to sterilize the entire salon, etc. Her husband and son come in biohazard suits and further sterilize every night. She has gone beyond what the basic requirements are. That alone makes me feel safe every time I walk in there! read more

Please make sure your schedule your appointment at least two weeks in advance because they are always booked. The establishment is very pretty and clean! I wish someone would've contacted me prior to my appointment to tell me I had to complete a long covid screening form. After I completed my form I was then directed to my nail tech. Anna is very knowledgeable! She did a great job with my nails & offered great tips on nail care. Once I was done she gave me a ticket to give to the front desk. I then had to wait in the lobby for another tech to do my nails. Once she arrived she asked me what color I want my feet. Usually at other salons I've been to they match the colors for you. Now the employee and I are trying to find the color that best matches my gel mani. The service for a gel mani and a regular pedi took 2 hours! Never in my life have I had a basic service take so long. read more

Damn if I can put a 0 star i would. I am seriously in pain right now I simply went in to get a short acrylic full set and left with bloody cuticles & the tech didn't even bother to put septic or disinfect the cuts she simply told me to go wash my hands. I have no words and let's not even get into the shape! The tech did not have the best attitude I did not get her name but I came in September 12, 2022 at 1 PM, she kept texting in between our appointment which made it last longer. I would beware of coming here you will leave in pain and bloody fingernails. The salon had a good start years ago but lately it's been trash. read more

Laque Nail Bar - Chopped up cuticles - Nail Salons Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Today was my first time visiting this salon and I've always admired this nail bar on Instagram and especially during COVID I was impressed with the social distancing regulations they announced on social media. Upon arriving my temperature was taken via iPad but the waiting area felt a bit crowded with women waiting for their appointment. I then proceeded to my appointment on time and had Ofelya do my nails, she was very sweet and polite during the duration of my appointment. Ofelya and the nail tech next to her made great conversation. Even though there was plastic walls set up between each client it still felt a bit too close in my opinion and I wish it was separated out more to be seated in every other chair. The overall design of the salon though is very nice and upscale. The reason for the three star rating is because I'm extremely disappointed in the price. I initially thought the cost of my nails would be around $45-$60 and I walked out paying a whopping $88. I got a full set of coffin acrylics which was $43, I requested the design for the nude baby boomer ombré which I was charged an additional $20 for powder, $15 for an ombré design and what I was shocked by was $10 for a gel top coat (I've been getting my nails done for several years at various establishments and I HAVE NEVER PAID EXTRA FOR TOP COAT). Top coat should be included with any acrylic service. I didn't argue with the cost as Ofelya was very sweet and I appreciated her time. She made me feel valued during my service. Unfortunately, I won't be returning when I can receive this same quality of service for a lot less else where. As other reviews have mentioned, this salon is very consumed with money and charging extra for things you don't even realize. I can usually get this same manicure done for around $50-$60. I don't understand how it came out to $88, I usually pay that amount for a gel manicure and pedicure together. read more

I love that whenever I come here, they always find the exact color I'm looking for and even if they don't have it, they make it by mixing colors. The girl in the front desk is super nice ! I know I hear some bad things in past reviews about the receptionist, but she's actually really friendly. This place is popular and i would imagine anyone working the front desk would need to be firm with I'm sure all the BS that gets thrown at them, don't mistake it for being rude, she was super helpful when checking in and also came over to make sure everything was going well with my manicure which I thought was very nice. Lastly Ellen does some of the most incredible, mind blowing nail art I've ever seen! If you're looking for someone to do legit detailed ART on your nails definitely go to her, I've never seen anything like it. Deff a place to try at least once in your life, the experience is great and it's hard to find artists who can do what they do. read more

I really wanted to get my nails done here. But I came out dissatisfied and disappointed. I showed the nail tech what I wanted and it didn't come out as the picture I showed.. I tried telling the nail tech that my nails looked weird and she told me to just wash my hands and the white stuff from my nails will come off. Which I did wash my hands and was still like that. I just decided to leave. I spent $100. $100. On these nails and wow do I regret it. Now I have to go elsewhere so it can get fixed... read more

I was really excited to come here but it was all hype. I got the mudslide pedi. First off the girl that did my toes didn't scrub my right foot just my left. Second she cured my toes under the led light like 20 times!!!!! She said it wasn't drying! Like really? Third I guess it still didn't dry right because my toe chipped right the next day and the gel was wet underneath. Not even 24 hours smh! Customer service wasn't even great either! The receptionist didn't have people skills! Never again!! read more

Literally had the worst experience. My first impression was that this place is super tasteless and gaudy, and the front desk was a little snobby but those are things I can let go of if I get a bomb gel pedi and mani. Gel mani: the woman was extremely nice and did a good job. I wish I got her name but she was the only Asian woman working at the time. She is the ONLY reason why this place gets two stars. Gel paid: right off the bat, I know the girl working on my toes was brand spanking new and literally took an hour to take off my gel polish. JUST TO TAKE IT OFF. But as a hairstylist myself, I know what's it's like to be new and build a clientele so I let no go and decided to be patient. No biggie. But as soon as she took off ALL of my polish, she tells me that she can't continue with the service because two of my toes are bruised. I'm a huge hiker so my toes are always bruised and have never had a problem anywhere else I've been to. But whatever. I wasn't going to argue that. What reaaallllyyy pissed me off is that fact that she saw my first bruise and still continued to take off my polish on my second bruise. How was she able to "continue with the service" after the first bruise but not the second bruise?? AND she said "I'll just finish getting all the little bits of polish and soak your feet but I won't be able to continue after that." How does that make sense? If she can't continue, she can't continue. Literally Swiss cheese logic. And I know that she told the woman at the front (who I'm assuming is the owner or manager) and nobody apologized to me. Instead, I saw them gossiping the entire time. They completely embarrassed me but I tried to keep my cool the entire time. I found out that this place USED TO BE GOOD. But they went one a few reality tv shows and they've become a trash salon. And when I heard that afterwards, it all made sense to me - why the place had a certain vibe and why they have over a million followers. I also wish I had read the reviews beforehand. So many reviews on how this place has gone downhill. Welp. !!!UPDATE!!! So like I stated above, I had no problem with the woman that did my gel manicure...until yesterday. After five days, two of my nails chipped/broke (photo included below). After paying $95 (with tip), it's disappointing that my nails chipped just after five days. Usually my gel manicure can last me 3 weeks. So the management can defend their policy all they like but clearly the work isn't that great either!!! read more

Been here 3 times already and loved every single time. I've experienced 4 different nail techs and loved Ivania and gabby! Last time one of the girls got sick during the middle of doing my set and gabby came to the rescue and finished off my nails. They looked great! Today I went in to see Ivania for my wedding nails for this weekend and she was amazing. Very gentle, patient, honest, and you can tell she takes pride in her work. Never got a cut or burn and she checked in with me to make sure I liked my shape of nail. Can't wait to wear these nails for my wedding! Also gabby is such a rad chick especially with her pumpkin sticker! She did my fiancés pedi and loved it! Both her and Ivania were clean and sanitary and did a great job. The picture doesn't do it justice but I went with a pearly blush color and added a thin layer of glitter that isn't so noticeable until you see it in the sun/light read more

Still a beautiful place and their COVID measures are great, however I took the review down from 4 to 3 stars because of my mediocre pedicure. I'm 7 months pregnant so I can't reach my feet these days. They are incredibly dry and heels are unusually cracked. The technician did a very poor job of pumicing, even after I pointed out areas she missed. She didn't offer any add-ons or additional time soaking, just quickly pumiced with little energy and kept trying to move on. I would give two stars however a different technician did my gel manicure and was great. She took her time, had great conversation with me and gave me well manicured hands before leaving for the day. I'd give her three stars alone, with the only ding being that she didn't provide the color info to the next tech, so my hands and feet don't match, which was the entire point of doing both as gel/no chip. The wait outside between services was also a pain. I get the COVID safety but once I've been inside I'm not sure why going back outside between services was necessary. Also the chairs were uncomfortable and I couldn't fit as a pregnant woman, so better accommodations should have been made. That is a one star situation for sure. Adding more pics along with this updated review. read more

Laque is not what it used to be. I feel like after the pandemic they are desperate to hire anyone who is willing to work. I got my nails done for Halloween and the process and outcome was horrendous. The nail art was beautiful but I was overcharged for this ugly set. The acrylic was so thick and uneven I had to file and reshape them at home. Also the tech did not know how to do blood splatter and covered my hands with red nail polish read more

i haven't been here yet, but I'm going to go tomorrow, based on the owner's responses to reviews alone. someone with good sense, who politely explains and backs up their service. I'll be back to review my actual nails! read more

Well these reviews completely threw me off and I was reluctant but I decided to get my nails done here and let me tell you...all these negative comments are very wrong! I had the best experience! It was my first time at this salon and my first time doing hard gel. And as much as I would love to gate keep my nail tech I think everyone should know just how amazing and talented Angel is! She did my nails so well and took her time with every step! She is such a gem I will absolutely be back! read more
