Tina is amazing ! She really takes her time and makes sure everything is perfect. I have 0 complaints about my nails ! One thing- I wish they could update the interior of the shop to make it more modern! Other than that I recommend. read more

1 start because paint job is decent but they skimp and only give 2 coats. I had to ask for my toenails to be cut 3 separate times and she refused - instead took a file to them. She proceeded to clearly talk about me to all her coworkers. Also they don't use clean tools, they grab from the same box and "clean" them in the same water you get a pedicure in. Excuse me?! Last time. Never coming back. read more

I'm calling Larry's Nails. The line is busy, and the mail box has yet to be set-up. I'm trying to reach Rosie there to set-up my pedicure. Update 1/11/2020 I went down to Larry's Nails and informed them that the phone rang busy. After that I got my pedicure from Rosie. This was my first visit of the New Year so I gave Rosie a $20.00 tip. Happy New Year everyone!!2020 wow time is really flies by. read more

Literally love my nails. Everyone at Larry's takes their time and is super thorough through every step of the process in cleaning, shaping, and of course painting your nails. I really love their color options including the "unicorn"/holographic style I chose. I do need to point out that Larry's is in a rougher part of Gardena and is not one of those fancy schmancy LA nail places, but this is one of the best gel manis I've gotten. It's been 2 weeks and my nails are still SO NICE this mani actually lasted PARKING | lot in the back or street, super easy WAIT | Larry's doesn't take appointments so expect to wait at least 20 min. Can be a bit frustrating but think the mani is worth it SERVICE | Great, they a thorough af and ask all the right questions. Make sure to communicate w your nail tech! If you don't like something or have a photo of something you want, they'll help you out COLORS | They're super up to date on their color selection! Nudes, sparkly shit, holographic/unicorn. PRICE | Sooooo good. Definitely cheaper than the average nail spot. Also CASH MONEY ONLY read more

I am happy I discovered this place. Staff here paid attention to detail and were diligent on providing good care. They have reasonable prices and we got manicures and pedicures and they did a splendid job with the designs. I also asked for the callous treatment which was extra money but the person who was doing my pedicure was forthcoming and recommended that I don't need that since I didn't have any callous. I appreciated her honesty. I will be going back here read more

Best Nail Shop in Gardena! So today I did my nails at Larry's Nail Salon. Larry did my nails, he's very detailed and takes his time on each nail. Recommend 100% to come get your nails done here. All I did was show him a picture of how I wanted them and he knew right away. I got a Full Set (Gel Mani) so it was $37. Make sure to take cash. They do not accept Card. Parking is in the Alley or the street! read more

I highly recommend coming to Larry's Nails! I'm not from the area but when I decided to get my nails done on a Sunday, they were one of the few shops that was open. For me, service is everything and to have Larry talk to you on a personal level while doing my nails is a plus! Not only that, he was able to accommodate for me and my needs. I felt like I was picky when it came to doing my nails and he was able to do exactly what I wanted. Inexpensive place with great quality. That's how I feel about this place. As far as parking goes, there's plenty of street parking in the front. Thank you Larry for the awesome service. read more

So I found this place through yelp. -quick service (great service) -good price -awesome work Based on the reviews, I chose to go with Larry and let me tell you, he hooked me up. I don't usually get nails because I do a lot of handy work, but man they're BEAUTIFUL. He heard what I wanted and gave me more than that. He has his own unique nude color and I keep receiving so many compliments!!!! People have been asking me where I got them done and of course I been sending them over there. Larry was funny too. My nails are smooth and even. I will be back read more

NEVER AGAIN!!! I came here based on reviews. Well, I was DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED!! I should've known when I called & asked what the wait time would be, from the not so pleasant attitude what I was in for. So I pull up to the front & should've left right then. The shop can use a huge makeover (along with the Customer Service.) I asked the prices for the services I needed, mani & pedi....was told the price, pick my color & CASH ONLY! Is what I was told by, Larry. (I learned who was who by being silent & observant.) Ummmm....ok. Thx, that's not an issue (is what I'm thinking.) I was directed to the Spa chair, by Rosie. (I learned her name through observation.) My water was EXTREMELY hot. I asked for some cold to be added, she did, but it seemed to annoy her that I asked. While my service was being performed (which was great...just minus THE USED NAIL FILE FROM WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE!!!) THAT'S A NO NO!! I asked for Rosie to use a new one, she did, with annoyance & an attitude. Then started speaking in her native tongue. We all know what that means. Sigh. Now mind you, from the time I entered to the time I left, Larry was angry with his Internet provider (I believe). He was loud & going in on the people on the phone, "I WANT TO CANCEL MY SERVICE!" Is what he was saying EXTREMELY loud, the entire shop was in his business. That was very unprofessional, right?! Now, it's time for me to leave. Again, Rosie did a great job on my pedicure (minus the used file I had to stop her from attempting to use on me.) I was offered paper sandals, because I didn't bring my own & found out when it was time for me to pay for my service (because I questioned my total) that they charge $1 for the sandals!! WoW!! That's a 1st for me, I've never paid for sandals at any nail shops I've been to. I paid for it, it was just deducted from the tip I was going to leave.‍ Also, the spa chair remote is policed by the technician. When I touched it to adjust the beating on my back, it was taken from me. REALLY?! I asked Rosie, am I not allowed to adjust the settings to my preference (which 98% of them DIDN'T WORK!) She then handed the remote back, with the side eye. How awkward, especially when I'm paying to use the chair (with the broken remote. ) Needless to say, lesson learned. I didn't experience any relaxation, like one should in the nail shop. I won't return here. Good luck to you if you decide to patronize this establishment, which I would NOT recommend. read more

These have to be the ugliest full set I have gotten. I specifically asked for Larry and directed me to another girl, rude. I told the girl medium length and she did short. I told her the shape straight, and they came out Squary and bulky. I told her I like them thin and they still look fat. Ugh so horrible read more

Not enough color selections and the color design pink on gold v tip designed looked horrible

I recently started coming here for full sets and pedicures after getting a great reference from my niece. I LOVE this place. Upon arrival I initially thought it looked a bit sketch but have had the worst experiences with high end salons in my area. I must say, my pedicures last two plus weeks and my nails are always neat, and EXACTLY what I ask for. Not to mention I could def go every three weeks as opposed to two. Larry for my nails, Tina for my toes. read more

I don't know why they had good reviews here. I went and the place is old and had no air conditioning! But, I only came because it's close to the church I go to and the reviews. No one greeted me or asked which service I wanted. I just sat & sat. And, finally when someone spoke to me he said cash only! I waited for over 30 mins and they took someone else before me! (Who came after me) So I left! Save yourself the time and energy DON'T go here. read more

I've looked for places to do my nails and haven't been happy until I came here they didn't have many reviews but service was good

I want to say that Rose did my nails but I'm not sure if that is even her name! In any case, she did a good job. This place is in desperate need of an upgrade but It is what it is. Mani's are $10 and there is a parking lot available in the rear or you can park on the street right in front of the salon. I usually go during the week before 2pm and I have never experienced a wait. There are only 3 nail techs here so I'm pretty sure they get extremely busy during evening hours. My only complaint is that their nail polish is dated. read more

First impression: Not good. Made my appointment over the phone, but once I arrived i stood at the front for a few minute until I was noticed and they looked puzzled when I said I had an appointment. I was asked "It's cash only, did they tell you when you called?" No, they didn't, and they do not have an ATM on site. Larry was somewhat friendly but his wife was so rude! Snapped at me to pick a color, was really rough on my feet and nicked me a few times when cutting my cuticles. Lesson learned, I wont be returning. read more

I have been coming here for over 10yrs and I have never had a bad experience. When they close for vacation and I allow someone else to handle my hands...they end up ALL WRONG!!! I done this three times and each one had to be Corrected by Larry. The shops consistency, friendliness, attention to detail with quality work and all around great atmosphere has kept me all these years. I've even added my hubby along for service and he loves his girl Rosie cause she always makes him feel comfortable and appreciated. read more

Almost don't want to share how good this was Incase I can't get in next time! Haha Tina was exceptional, best dipped nails I've had done in LA and her attention to detail was incredible. Great if you are OCD about nails like me! Only negative is cash only, but that's not hard if you plan ahead. read more

I love my nails. I came here because a friend of mine recommended this place. Her nails looked so natural and amazing so I wanted to give it a try. I have not gotten my nails done in over a year. I don't normally like getting nails because I type a lot and I can't seem to get used to them. Thankfully the technician made them short enough for me to be comfortable typing and long enough to be noticed. I came here 15min. before their closing time and they still took me in. Thank you so much! The nail technician did an excellent job and I have never been 100% satisfied with my nails before until today. Granted I've only gotten my nails done 6 times in my lifetime, but these nails are perfection and I am so happy! read more

Larry's Nails - Thanks Larry! - Nail Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

Place is extremely unsanitary and my gel manicure didn't even last a week. Would NOT recommend.

Disappointed. Got Gel manicure lasted 2 days.

First nail shop I have ever been to where every person that works here does FABULOUS nails!! Not only are the fabulous, Larry is funny and very welcoming! They are extremely honest as well, I left my iPad at there facility and went back the next day and the staff had put it up for me. Thank you all again at Larry's Nails!!! read more

I love the safety measures that the nail shop is taking due to covid-19 and as always the nail job is very good

Larry's nails may have good service how ever the owner and workers have no integrity. I went to Larry's nails as a recommendation. My friend said she goes there all the time. I went today and the lady that did my nails stole $20 from me. I accidentally gave her $80 for a $51 service on and immediately noticed my mistake. I saw her slide the extra $20 in her desk and lie to my face about how much money I gave her. She acted as if that $20 was already in her desk which was a LIE! All while the manager/owner Larry stood there and ignore the incident as if it was none of his business. This business gives great service but terrible customer service. Any customer would expect for businesses to have honesty as a part of their values which was not the case! I am very disappointed! read more

Well, I can say the shop lives up to the hype. I am so happy i didn't forget to give it a try. Larry is very nice and everyone seems like returning customers here. They seem to have a great relationships with the customer Rosie did my manicure and you don't have to tell her nothing all i can tell you is that there isn't any dry left cuticles and she doesn't hurt you either. Rose is very nice.... Julie did my pedicure and it was great too. She left no skin behind. My total cash price for gel manicure and regular pedicure $38 .00. Larry has a good experience team of employees. read more

I came by this place on yelp and decided to give it a try since it was five minutes away from my house. I needed a mani and pedi and The price for that was $20 but for two dollars more you can get the spa Mani&pedi. Well I got the spa one and it was the best experience ever! She took her time with my pedicure and the massage chair was great. My toes looked brand new and refreshed when she was done. I have never had my feet look and feel so good! The manicure was pretty good too but im definitely going back for the pedi. I took my sister to get a manicure there and she said it was the best she's ever gotten (she has sensitive cuticles and always ends up with small cuts) and she told me that they didn't hurt her at all. We both loved it and we are definitely going back! The price for the manicure was $8 so it's definitely worth it. read more

Larry's Nails the best nail salon in Gardena. Larry has been a manicurist for many many many years. My first experience was with him at a different nail shop in Hawthorne/Gardena (El Segundo & Crenshaw). Sorry to say I didn't stay with him long due to a long distance move. When I did return, he was no longer working at that nail salon, sooo sad. Fortunately, our relationship was re-kindled when a really close friend of mine offered to take me to this new nail salon. She says "they really know how to do everything fills, new sets, pedicres, airbrush etc..everything is good", so I agreed. To my pleasant surprise it was LARRY :-) now married, with a child, I was soo happy to finally have him back in my life. A relationship at least 15 years in the making. His wife MiMi is EXCELLENT, she knows how to make your hands, feet, and eye brows look and feel wonderful. Ther is NO place like Larry's. If in the area stop by and make good use of your time, you will not be disappointed. Larry, MiMi, & Tina are all incredible. read more

I was introduced to Larry's shop on my first visit to California. I didn't know that nail shops out here are on every other corner and sometimes in the same complex. This shop consists of a husband and wife team with 2-3 more technicians. Whenever I would fly to the South Bay every other year, I would always stop here to get a pedicure. Larry (husband/owner) is great at nails, if the salon is full and he is the only one available to give you a pedicure...JUST SAY NO!! Please wait for the other ladies or just come back at another time. Don't get me wrong, he is great at what he does but he is just so aggressive when it comes to pedicures. Mimi (wife/owner) is great at nails (full sets/gels) and waxing. Rosie and the other lady (will update with proper name) are great at manicures and pedicures. I really like this place even though the wait can be unbearable and there is usually no cool air circulating (except for the few fans blowing). I have to admit that I have yet to find a place that is better than Larry's. read more

First tip: this place only takes cash. I was a little thrown off by the location. My directions took me to the back parking lot but you can park on Van Ness . The back parking lot is plentiful but you might see some herds of men gathered outside (there's barbershop next door). So the place is not fancy at all. The staff is very nice, but I didn't like the way my manicurist took off my gel polish. I'm used to the foil, cotton, and nail polish remover. She tried to take off my gel dry. Anyways, the place looks a little dingy and so does the equipment. I want to come back but hoping they give this place a little face lift. The good news is that it's cheap, they do a really good job shaping and painting and I paid $28 for a gel take off, gel polish, and toe polish change (not bad at all!). I'm giving four stars because the owner ran out to my car when I forgot my phone inside- at least I know I can trust these small business owners. read more

It was an okay shop they did there job my only issue is if your not comfortable doing a design don't do it ... also 2 $ more for spa . I'd probably keep going but spa wasn't worth it and the extra 5$ design was definitely not money worthy .. read more

Like others on here, came via Yelp, and I'm so glad I did! Clean workspace and professional service. The employees are funny and engaging, makes for a great spa trip! Pedicures are currently $12, but for $2 more, you can get the spa pedicure treatment. Such reasonable prices! LOVE it!! Tip: make an appointment, or at the very least, call ahead to notify them you're on your way so they prepare for you. read more

Love Larry! He has never let me down. Every time I go somewhere else, I regret it. I went to a spot called "the nail spa" in Hawthorne because Larry wasn't available. I wish I would have waited. Larry's place needs a facelift though. I need for them to accept cards too. 2017 Larry! That's the only reason they lost a star. Other than that... they're A1. read more

Beware! This was my first (and last) time coming to this nail shop... I had chosen it because it had good reviews, but now I am not sure as to why. Mimi did a horrendous job on my spa manicure ($2 more than a regular manicure). She rushed through the entire process - left 2/3 of my cuticles on the nailbeds (even after asking her to go back and cut them down), then proceeded to slap some oil on my hands and call it a massage. Finally when it came time to put polish on, she went to put the color on first, with no base coat. I had to stop her and say "you're forgetting the base coat!" To which she responded, "Oh..." It was such a bad manicure, that I removed the polish before even leaving the shop. Even after explaining that I was not happy with the job done, they proceeded to charge me the full amount, and didn't even offer to fix it. I will NEVER return to this salon. read more
