I usually call first thing…read morein the morning to check their availability for the same day & if it's too busy I'll ask to book an appointment for the next day or future date. All of the nail techs are great! I request for Cici when I want to do cat-eye or more simple gel manicures. If I want more artsy designs, I'll usually request for Ella or Karen. Gel manis are still $45, with full cat-eye adding an additional $15. Hand drawn art design nails may add between $4-6 per nail, depending on the design; while if you're okay with stickers, it may be $2-3/each. More intricate nail designs will require more time & cost more depending on what it is -- so I would inform them if this is something you want to do so they can allot the right amount of time for your booking. I typically spend about 1.5-2 hours to get my nails done (including removing the previous months' nails, nail trimming, shaping, cuticles, etc.) As stated before: Easy parking in the First St. structure behind the shop. Restroom available in the back of the store & always clean. They also do have bottled water, if needed.

Karen offers water during the sessions, and when I show Ella inspo pics she tailors the designs to my hand size and nail shape preference.

I'm a big fan of cat eye nails and there's endless colors to choose from 5. Reasonable pricing and they always quote you the price before you start to make sure you're ok with it Overall this is my go-to place for nails. I love everyone here!

Sadly, Superco and Ocean Star are both gone, but rising from the ashes is a bunch of fun stuff, like Smoking Tiger and this jumbo-sized nail salon next door, Magical Nails. Nothing too magical about it, but this busy salon has about 10,000 polish shades to choose from, and a printed menu with prices so you know what you're getting and how much it will be. All the salon chairs have the back massage function which kills two birds with one stone. Easy parking right in front, walk-ins welcome, and no waiting for your mani-pedi. I stuck my nose in to have a look, and was getting beautified just a few moments later. Minus one star for some unnecessary upselling, and a sour face from the greeter when I declined. But a free bottle of water cheered me up. Would I go back? Yes.

I always book with Nana and make sure to call ahead so I can get an appointment with her, she always does an amazing job. She recently did my nails for Coachella, and I absolutely loved how they turned out. I got so many compliments! I usually bring in inspiration photos, and she'll add in her own creative touch, which makes the final results even better. The quality of their work is consistently great my nails last, the shaping is precise, and everything is done with attention to detail. Their service is also efficient without feeling rushed, and I like that I can get a pedicure at the same time. On top of that, their pricing is very reasonable for the level of quality you get. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I rarely have to wait long, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place that delivers both quality and great service!

I was hesitant to post this review because I've had only positive experiences over the last few…read moremonths up until this most recent visit. I was asked for feedback and these are my thoughts! Overall this is a great place to get Japanese gel manicure as it is a clean salon and the nail techs are (mostly) meticulous in their work. It's unfortunate that I left disappointed after my most recent visit. My review and rating is only based on this manicure that I recently got. I appreciate and frequent this nail salon because the nail techs typically use a nail dust collector to vacuum up the filed off particles so that clients don't breathe the dust. On this particular day, the nail tech began setting up and started to use the drill to file off my old gel without the use of this device. I asked if she had the nail dust device with her today and she said she didn't bring it. I was irked because my lung health is important to me and want to take as many preventative measures as possible. It could've been the language barrier but every previous nail service at this salon had used this device while removing my old gel. Next, when it came to manicure type and color choice, I requested a Japanese gel manicure with hard gel. I chose a light pink and a clear polish that had glitter in it to be put on top of the pink. She informed me it would be an extra $10 in addition to the $65 hard gel manicure because the second polish I chose had glitter in it. I questioned her because I didn't understand why there was an extra charge for an extra layer of regular gel polish as it wasn't any type of special chunky glitter, product or design. She said it would be extra because the polish had glitter in it. I was already irritated so I agreed to pay the extra and didn't want to question further. Other salons I have been to do not charge extra for a layer of glitter polish but I digress. Lastly, moving on to the builder gel application, it was thickkkkkk. My usual builder gel sets are not as thick and chunky as this one :( I had my mom AND friends point out to me how thick they looked at first glance as well. I am disappointed in the quality of this set. Granted, there is no chipping yet about 1.5 weeks in and manicures here have great retention but the thick gel does not look cute This last manicure was definitely a doozy. It felt rushed and didn't meet my expectations this time around. Overall I still highly recommend this salon and it's unfortunate that it might be a hit or miss depending on the nail tech you get. I recommend specifically asking for the name of the tech whose work you like and setting up an appointment with them. It's easy to make an appointment via text and they have open availability (and are open pretty late!). Miss Han will continue to be my go-to salon for now and I hope they continue to be consistent in their services!

I do recommend calling and checking with them for walk-ins though just in case if they're busy. That way they can focus on giving you the best experience without feeling rushed!

I did show up a few…read moreminutes early to my appointment since it was my first time and I also wasn't sure how parking was. My appointment time came and the salon was still closed (I just want to note that my appointment time was 30 minutes after their opening time) and I was waiting outside, unsure if I should just leave or wait. I ended up messaging Trulycure for an update and didn't get an answer. A lady showed up about 5-10 minutes later to open the door, asked if I needed a pedicure and then to sit down on one of the chairs. Now the chairs were really nice, but did not have a built in spa. She had to bring over a tub of water. I wasn't asked which pedicure service I want (I later saw there were multiple options on their menu) and asked me what color I wanted. Andrew had walked in while I was getting my pedicure done. He worked on removing my old set of gelx that I got done elsewhere and put a new set (he did an excellent job at this). I opted for a cat eye effect on my nails since he mentioned there is a promotion at the time. I thought Trulycure is somewhere I want to go back to but after reflecting on my experience of waiting without any communication they were going to be tardy, pedicure gal cutting my toe nails oddly to the point where my big toe nail is growing out not the way I like and the cat eye not being a cat eye (looks like a layer of glitter polish applied), I was completely ready to go back to my usual place.
