Gel x extensions almond shape DND color "midnight"

I stopped in here by chance today, 5/16/26. I had been going somewhere else but had a less than good experience so I was on the hunt for a new place. Since I was a walk in I did wait about 20 minutes (not bad at all but I'll make an appt next time). I spent the wait time choosing a nail color. I was getting gel x extensions new set and single color. Kevin did my nails. He helped me decide between extensions and builder gel. I didn't know the difference so I appreciated him taking the time to explain it to me. He did a great job. I will definitely be back.

Gel Mani by John
Gayle P.

First time trying this spot. I called ahead to ask for waiting time for a gel manicure and got seated probably within 5 minutes. John did my nails and he did great. Very meticulous and got my cuticles all nice and clean. I wash my hands a lot for work so he cleaned them up really well. The gel mani looks great too! Would def come back!

I got a manicure with French tips. I had to tell the person over and over again to fix the tips, (I can be nitpicky) & the person was nice about it but he kind of just rushed the rest of the manicure after putting the clear coat on & sent me on my way with my nails looking like this. I'm very disappointed and won't be coming back. Nice people though, and that is the reason why I didn't leave only one star.

Kevin dipped my nails 5x; had to file them down; caused the color to fade. I used Dip #148. I saw the difference immediately.

First, Kevin does not know how to do dip nails. The first sign of a good dip nail salon is that they let you soak the dip off... he gave me a bowl that barely fit one hand and then took it away after a few minutes so he could file them off. He dipped my nails 5x (NOT KIDDING) - If you know how dip nails are supposed to be done, you also know this is way too much dip!! Then because he dipped them so much, he had to file them down with the electric filer... which leads me to my next point... Second, he cut my finger with the electric filer - he knew it and never apologized or gave any acknowledgement. Also, I didn't see him throw the filer tip away which means he properly used it again on someone else. Third, because he had to strip away so much of the excess dip powder, it changed the color of the dip (148). I tried this location because I saw positive reviews for dip nails. I waited over an hour for Kevin because his name kept coming up in the reviews. I felt the need to share my experience to help provide a more balanced perspective on this location.

Do not go here

My services were not handled with care. There is polish remaining on some of my toes. The owner lied to me about him being the owner after I inquired about my manicure where I left with 4 fingers cut on one hand and two fingers with blood near the cuticle area on the other hand. In addition, I had to request a third quote on my big toe as the man attempted to leave it with streaks.

Kevin always does an amazing job! Ive been coming to him for over 10 years and he doesn't disappoint!! I always leave feeling extremely pampered! I've never had any bad experiences with anyone who's done my pedicures. Everyone there is great! 10/10!!!

I've been coming here for years, they always do my nails so well. Philip is the best! He always leaves my nails looking so nice and gives wonderful hand massages

Kevin is my go-to at Lovely Nails

Kevin is my go-to at Lovely Nails When I moved here 4 years ago I was lucky enough to find this place and I've never let anyone else do my nails since then. I like a natural look and like to grow my natural nails out and Kevin always knows what's best.

Kevin just does an amazing job with my nails... I have been going to him for almost 13 years now and he always goes with my nail ideas and they come out so beautiful.

This is a cozy nail place right near my Pilates studio so it's very convenient for me. I love how friendly and accommodating this place is. My nails last at least 3 weeks and if it wasn't because they grow it would last longer! Love their prices too.

Staph infection from pedicure
Lauren M.

I went on Wednesday for a pedicure and my nail tech accidentally stabbed me with one of the instruments they use to remove ingrown nails. It very much at the time but I didn't make a big deal of it-- but now I have a STAPH INFECTION. Please avoid this salon because they clearly do not sterilize their properly -- or at all.

Lovely Nails was okay... During my visit, I received a gel manicure, eyebrow, and lip wax. Everything was fairly good and well priced. Whenever I'm in the mood for a quick, nothing special gel mani, I would come back.

No issues with service, quality, or the vibe. My nails looked great after and I was seated right away at about 11 on a Saturday.

Wouldn't come here again. Place is very dirty and the work done for the cost charged was not worth it.

For the price, this is the best you'll get! They're very nice and do a good job. Plenty of parking! Bring cash for a tip.

I started coming a few months back after a bad experience with a separate shop…read more I met Lynn and haven't looked back since! My nails are so strong and healthy since coming. Everyone here is so kind and fast! The appointments do book fast so book ahead but that goes to show how great it is here. Everything is reasonably priced too! I get gel manicures and a pedicure every month and i am so grateful to have come across Lynn & Juliet Nails!

I had a very disappointing experience with Juliet's Nails. About an hour before arriving, I called…read moreto ask about pricing and whether walk-ins were accepted. Since the appointment was for my 101-year-old patient who uses a wheelchair, I wanted to make sure we could be accommodated. When we arrived, I hadn't even made it fully inside before I asked if there was another entrance that was wheelchair accessible. The employee immediately responded, very rudely, "No, we're booked," without any apology or explanation. I was confused because I had called beforehand and was never told that they were fully booked. I calmly explained that I had called earlier, and instead of trying to help or clarify the situation, she insisted I must have called the wrong number and continued speaking with an unpleasant attitude. There was no apology for the misunderstanding, no effort to assist, and no consideration for the fact that I had brought a 101-year-old client there. The lack of professionalism, customer service, and basic courtesy was shocking. Even if they were fully booked, a simple apology or polite explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, it was a complete waste of time and an unnecessarily frustrating experience. I would not recommend this business based on how we were treated.

A Hidden Gem in Culver City!…read more I visited Lucky Nail Spa in Culver City after my amazing nail artist went to China for a month. I'm usually someone who loves to stay loyal to my nail artist (shout-out to my girl!), but after going weeks without a manicure, I was definitely in need of some nail TLC! Since I'm often in the area, I decided to give Lucky Nail Spa a try, and I'm glad I did! I got a classic French tip manicure for $45, which I thought was a reasonable price. One thing to keep in mind is that there may be an additional fee for using a credit card, so I recommend bringing cash! I appreciated learning about their approach to nail care. My nail artist explained that she prefers doing more of the work by hand rather than relying heavily on an electric file because she wants to avoid thinning the natural nail. I thought that was a thoughtful approach! She also had her own technique for creating the French tips, using a brush and another liquid to refine the lines and give them a cleaner finish. I usually go to my regular nail artist for more intricate designs and extra detailing, so this visit was perfect for what I wanted: a simple, beautiful French tip with short nails. Customer service deserves a shout-out, too! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the nail artist was so sweet and loving toward my little nephew who came with me. That kindness really stood out to me. The salon could use a little extra TLC in its overall presentation, but don't judge this place by its cover! I found it clean, welcoming, and worth giving a chance. Everyone's experience may be different, but mine was a positive one, and I was happy with my nails and the price. A couple of friendly tips for your visit: Bring cash to help avoid possible card fees. If you prefer UV/LED-protective fingerless gloves, consider bringing your own and follow the lamp manufacturer's safety guidance. Don't be afraid to communicate your preferences. Speak up kindly so your nail artist knows exactly what you want! Overall, I recommend giving Lucky Nail Spa a try! Thank you to the team for the kind service and for taking care of me. Keep up the great work, and keep shining! Every local business deserves encouragement when they're putting care into what they do. I'll definitely consider coming back! Nadi (GlamGusto)

Literally huge scammers. This was my second time going, it's next to my house so I tried to give…read morethem another shot. I just was charged $55 for a gel manicure because my nails had a builder gel on them and they had to do "a removal."Something in 20 years of getting my nails done I've never heard of. The last time I did my nails here they peeled off within a day and I had to go have them fix it. Absolutely officially the worst nail salon I have EVER visited.
