Lola Nails Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

I have been coming to this nail salon for about 2 years for both manicure and pedicure services. Usually I had no major issues, but my most recent visit was very disappointing. An older man whose name I do not remember, and a young woman named Vi (or Lv, I'm not sure of the spelling), worked on me that day. The quality of service was very poor compared to my previous visits. I told the older man not to cut into my real nails, but he still worked very roughly and carelessly. They cut my foot during the pedicure, and my hand became red after the manicure. My hand is still red now and very painful. I am very unhappy because I trusted this salon for a long time, but this experience was careless and unacceptable. I hope the owner improves hygiene, technique, and customer care so this does not happen to anyone else. read more

I had a terrible experience with a manicurist. She drilled off my edges instead of cutting and I was in so much pain. I texted them my concerns, the owner told me to come back and she would do whatever design I wanted. I came back for that exact reason and this lady said she CANT do for me for FREE. The reason I came back is because she told me she wanted to make things right but when I came in, it was different. Terrible customer service. DO NOT COME HERE. They lie! read more

Lola Nails Bar - Terrible nail service! - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

Would never come back here again, I got a mani and pedi. My pedi come out decent however the young man doing my manicure drilled off my cuticle made me bleed didn't care to clean it until I told him too. When filling my nails he was very aggressive I had to tell him it hurt!! I also noticed he did not sanitize the cuticle cutter he had and once he was done using it he put it back in his " clean " tool box I hope I don't catch an infection. My mani chipped the next day didn't even last a day ! Also place is dirty they had a big whole in the wall and smelled. Low quality never again read more

5 service!!!! My inspiration picture came to reality with Kevin and the pedicure with Chanel was a 10/10!!! Come by and get yourself vacation ready or just perfectly manicured! read more

I just left the salon, and I'm honestly very annoyed. I was there for a manicure and pedicure. I was completely comfortable in the pedicure chair after my service, and suddenly I was told to get up and move. Why?! Both ladies next to me were allowed to stay in their chairs, and there were no other customers waiting. It made me feel singled out and uncomfortable. On top of that, the place smells dirty the moment you walk in. They also rush through their services, and more than once I've been hurt, even after asking them to please be careful. It feels like they just want to get you in and out instead of providing quality service. What should have been a relaxing visit ended on a frustrating and uncomfortable note. I won't be returning ever again. read more

$75 for just removal no color or gel at all and my fingers felt hot the whole time I kept telling him my fingers hurt and he just continued. Overall bad experience :( read more

So disappointed in my manicure today. The edges are so smudged, air bubbles in the gel, terrible job on cuticles. The only reason for 2 stars was that my daughter liked her manicure. I wish I had noticed these details while I was there but I was drenched in cuticle oil at the end. Likely to cover up the terrible paint and cuticle job. read more

came in for pedi and mani and they charged me 135 when i was told the mani is 55 for short gel x and 45 for the pedi with acyclic toes and then the guy who did my nails tried asking for to zelle him for a tip when he literally had my fingers bleeding and burning. getting your nails and toes done is supposed to be relaxing and it's been a few days since i got them done and they're still irritated read more

Lola Nails Bar - Fungus! - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

if i could do a zero i would , i've never written a review before, but this place pissed me off so bad i just have to. The girls are rude and laugh and literally gossip in your face. I got my nails done by someone else and they kept looking at my hands ( literally 5 of them) and asking me how much i paid. The girl who did my toes was in a rush or something , she literally was slapping my feet. She cut my nails way too short and was aggressive, i've never been treated like this at a nail shop, never again. read more

First off, they say the wifi password is their phone number but it's not. When I asked repeatedly what the PW is, they acted like they didn't understand. Secondly, they charge $5 extra to take off gel polish which is Not posted anywhere. Lastly, the place is old and dirty. I won't be coming back. The technicians do a rushed job and try to upsell you to get additional services. The pedi itself was basic, nothing special. read more

Shout to an awesome nail tech- Vy!!! She is so consistent and detail oriented. I show her a picture and she takes it from there. I love this shop because although they are always busy, it is large enough, and the nail techs are skilled enough get you in and out quickly. They do not accept card payment but they do have zelle and an atm machine. I'm a fan!!! For my latest look, I wanted something simple but slightly futuristic - Vy got it!! She did this gold and white look for me. I even have a special look that she does for me when my birthday rolls around. You'll see the rainbow nails below. I have that one posted too. This year I lost my dad in February- Lola nails has been a place to do self- care when I need it. The customer service is always good. Down to earth people. Highly recommend! read more

I have been meaning to try this place and finally did. First thing I noticed as I walked in, was it looked clean, modern and pretty decor. The lady at the desk greeted with a smile which was nice. I noticed they sanitize their tools and use clean ones on each customer which I loved. So far I was really liking it and was just waiting for the results of my services to decide if this would be my new "go to place". The prices were higher than my last place but figured with good service and sanitized tools it is worth it. I got a gel manicure ($30), lavender pedicure ( $35) and eyebrows wax ( $10) . When I paid they charged me $95 which I did question to myself as I had noticed their cost was higher but not that much...but paid it trusting the woman charging. I had taken a picture of their prices to keep for my record for future visits. So when I got home I reviewed them , still intrigued about the $95. After reviewing them, noticed they did over charge me. Should have only been $75 , not $95. I dont feel like returning to get my money back but I will definitely not return. Unfortunately, I trusted her word forgetting we live in a money hungry world more than ever nowadays and I should have questioned it at the moment instead of waiting to get home. It was all good until they failed with bad character. read more

I would never go back. They completely messed up my natural nails filed them down to the skin, which was extremely painful. This was by far the worst gel manicure I've ever had. I repeatedly told the technician that the file was burning me, but she didn't stop or adjust. It also was the longest and most careless. My nails are damaged and sore. Be careful if you value your natural nails. read more

I wanted to like this place, but I just ended up being disappointed. All three nail techs that I have seen pulled some kind of stupid during my visits... uneven shaping. Uneven polish. Clipping my skin so it started bleeding. Not bad. But still - my red life line juice! Touching my skin with the damn nail drill removing gel polish. That hurts, damn. Not waiting long enough to paint a new coat on my toenails. The woman who greeted me from the counter both times is a bit indifferent. Her name was not Lola. I asked. Lol. She didn't pay attention to clients as much I think she should have. Another thing that annoys me... if I say I want a certain service once, then twice after the same person asks me again, then don't ask me a f***ing third time. Lol. For real, though. My first visit (5/1/21) I was charged $54 for their deluxe gel manicure and a regular pedicure. On my second visit (5/13/21), I needed gel removal and a new gel manicure for a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. The whole time the dude complained about his second COVID-19 vaccination. My total charge on plastic was $31. There is a fee for paying with a card. I think it was like $1. My review is at 3 stars based on the fact that they accept walk-ins and they got me in and out relatively quick. read more

really sad that i have to write this. i've been coming here for over four years and i've always had a really good experience, but i was very disappointed after my last visit. the nail tech was very aggressive and would slap my foot when it would slip off the tub and when the toe separator would come off. was willing to let it go, but days later and my toe is now infected. don't know if it was the tools that weren't sanitized or if it was because she made me bleed. so sad read more

Manager has become so careless about providing customer service, as soon as we call in she says Oh you have to c People have NO experience @ all...its been 3 times already that they have been unprofessional! You are paying for a service and they get mad if you tell them to please cut or file or any little thing they start talking about you among each other. Also, they want to finish your pedicure in 10 minutes and that's not okay..we pay for our service and get the stinky eye when we tell them read more

Lola Nails Bar - Day after fixed for the 3x - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

After speaking with the manager Tiffany about how dissatisfied I was with their services this past Monday , the manager asked me to come in today to get my nails redone. I was promptly seated with nail tech Vi and I asked if I could change the color to red instead of silver and Vi said yes. Vi brings out the silver holographic powder and I remind (2x now) her I want red instead and she asked if I wanted a red base coat, I said no on top, she says YES. She proceeds to do my nails silver and I'm patiently watch thinking the red will be added next... Vi once again continues with the silver, and since I'm now paranoid that my nails won't be done as requested I ask AGAIN (3x) you're going to do them red right? Vi responded with "Yes, don't worry." Literally a few minutes later she puts cuticle oil on my nails and said that "I'm now ready for 4th of July!!" I immediately told her that I asked for red 3x but she CONTINUED to give me SILVER, she said she misunderstood!!! . This is what happens when you literally DO NOT LISTEN to the customer. Save yourself the grief and go elsewhere. I work too hard to NOT get the service I paid for. Ridiculous!! Here are my RED NAILS... read more

Really enjoyed the service here! I got a pedicure with Channel and she did an amazing job.

Came back for my New Year nails and was not disappointed! I came as a walk in at 3pm and it seemed decently busy but definitely picked up at 4pm. Please keep in mind it might be a full house past 4pm as a walk in! I luckily didn't have to wait and was properly serviced right away. Thank you Tiffany for the amazing job as always! read more

Idk where to start I got my nails done on Tuesday by Tiffany. Apparently to her they were almond shaped but she put more acrylic on the tip of the nail then on my base. So they started breaking today. I went back for the to fix them but they didn't even want too fix their mistake I was there waiting for 30 minutes and then I finally asked when they were . Going to help they were just rude!!!! They made me cry. As they were fixing it. If I were you I wouldn't go here. And if you do don't get a lady named Tiffany. Go to Pro nails they do a better job. Its just across the street from these guys. read more

Lola Nails Bar - Nasty nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

Not recommended. Asked for hard gel and they proceeded with acrylics after they told me it was going to be hard gel refill!! Once I realized it was acrylic they said I couldn't do ombré hard gel(which is what I already had) Got my toes done with the premium choice.. Lady said she did callus remover but didn't ... then burnt my feet with the paraffin wax! Asked for all the colors so I could choose and they only gave me one book but the colors on the shelf didn't match the book. It's one thing to not know how to do some thing or maybe not have a specific service but to say that you do and give the customer something different and not fully communicate or take the time to listen to what the customer is asking for is what my frustration was here. I'm sure if you like acrylics you would say that the work is good but ultimately at the end of the day I asked for one thing and got something completely different yet they gave me exactly what I didn't want and wanted me to be happy and pay for something that I didn't ask for... It's a shame as I am looking for a new spot that is closer to my home here in Downey to support small businesses here in Downey yet now I need to go back to my place in San Bernardino. Unfortunate. read more

Lola Nails Bar - How my nails looked walking out of the salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

I've been coming here for pedicures for the past year. Here's why I like to come here: *It is around the corner from my house. *Prices are great. *Everyone is so friendly. *Plenty of free parking. *They accept Zelle as a form of payment. Only downside is that they don't accept credit card. If you forget they also have an ATM machine inside just in case you don't have cash or Zelle. Will definitely come back. read more

Super disappointed. One, I hate that you can't make appointments and you just get whoever because not everyone is good. Two the nail tech I got did a half ass job and I'm not happy with it. I asked if I could get my nail filled in more so the nail polish coat would be even and not spotty and they gave me an attitude. I asked for a discount because what I asked for (showed them an image) is not what I got at all, and no one apologies there. It's like they think they didn't do anything wrong. Don't waste your money here. read more

The reviews were not very convincing but I took a chance and I was not disappointed. I went in only for a dip manicure which was done by one of the male manicurist (I could not recall his name). The manicurist was very attentive and constantly told me to check for any mistakes so that he can fix it. Overall, he was very quick and did a good job. read more

The worst experience!!! I came in to do my nails and "the owner" (I'm not even sure if she's the owner but she's always in the front) told me it will be a 15 min wait. I asked for a full set and a gel pedicure. I waited one hour!!!!!! I was very patient. When the nail tech finally came to me it was not who I had asked for. So I told the "owner" I wanted someone else she said they were all going home soon to come back tomorrow. I was so upset I waited a whole hour. This was so unprofessional. They just lost a customer!!!!!!!!! read more

I won't be returning back . My first time was good , so I return back for a 2nd and last try . The lady did not do the full services I paid for . She didn't want to do the callus remover, which I paid for the package "intensive callus remover" She then tried to apply gel on my toes and started the process , I said I did not ask for gel , she quoted ," it's only $10 " I said no I didn't ask for it . With this economy and their new price upgrades not worth it . I paid for the package to only get a half job . Wasn't worth it for me . Lot of money spent for a half job . read more

Lola Nails Bar - Just like the picture I showed. - Nail Salons Near Me - Downey, California

I went in for a French tip/ White tip pedicure with no gel. I personally don't like gel on my toes, but that's besides the point. The girl who did my toes did an ok job didn't scrub my feet much and the massage was not the greatest (which is okay I guess). She painted my nails and I was liking it. Was pretty satisfied until I drove home withy he AC on my toes to help dry them. Well I got home waiting some more to dry and when I finally decided to shower I noticed my toes were still wet?! Why? I mean i had waiting about 45 to 90 before touching my toes. Turns out the girl used Gel Top Coat! I showered and after the shower everything was gooey and nasty. I was sad since it was a pricey pedicure and didn't turn out well. read more

I came in as a walk in and waited no wait which luckily because as soon as I came in, a few people came in after but everyone got seated so at least it was a comfortable wait for the rest! As for me, I got a gel manicure and classic pedicure ( no gel). My gel manicure was actually great! The lovely Mr. ****** did amazing and was so nice which I appreciated as that's what you would expect from a nail salon. He made sure I was 100% comfortable and made small conversation which is so polite ( in my opinion)! He spoke pretty good english so when the woman who did my pedicure came, he made sure to translate what I wanted to not confuse anyone. The woman who did my classic pedicure was a little fast and felt rushed BUT once she finished, she went back and made sure everything looked great which it did :) All in all... I had a great experience. I know others maybe havent but I did! It's also all about having a great attitude towards the people who treat hands and feet which isn't easy! read more

This was nail spot since they opened, I kept giving it a chance but after this, I'm no longer a customer. I requested a nude ombré which I've gotten many times before... And this is what I got. I kept telling the nail tech that she needed to clean the residue and the stuff peeling off my fingers. She just proceeded to filing down my skin! It was red and painful. I gave up, paid ( which I regret) and never going back. read more

Only downside was I didn't get a leg massage :/ My total came out to $100 even which is kind of pricey but worth it for the work done.

Don't waste your money. I tried giving this place a second chance, but I regret it. This place is not what it used to be. My nails look horrible and the service was awful!

Wish I read the reviews before going to Lola nails bar. Paid $40 plus tip for dip powder nails and had 2 fall off next day and another 3 days into my manicure. Now it's been a week and 2 revisits to salon to get them fixed and they keep falling off with simple tasks. Wished I just asked for refund. I rarely leave reviews but thought I should share my negative experience so you dont get ripped off. I went in wanting to try gel overlay, the guy tech recommended the nail dip would last 3 weeks. I don't do my nails often so I'm no pro but it's annoying when you have to ask them to do your manicure right (file ur nails, cut the extra skin/cuticles etc). seems techs are either in a rush or not experienced. If your going to try this place for yourself I say ask for Tiffany or Catherine based on reviews. read more
