    Christmas nails!
    Hernandez A.

    I'm so in love with my nails! Nick did such a great job and really took his time. I'm so happy I found him and will never have to go to a traditional nail shop again. His private suite is so nice to be in. Thank you again for making my Christmas nails so perfect!

    Nick works professionally, he loves his job...open until 9pm, suitable for every client.

    The broken nail
    Laisce M.

    Dealing with Nick has been a nightmare. He did my nails twice & they were nice. However the second time I had an emergency and he didn't care, he kept trying to put my private call on speaker so he could finish my nails. The line has been crossed today though. I drove in an hour of traffic to have my nails done by nick. I paid a 30 dollar deposit for this 7pm appointment that I needed because I have a shoot tomorrow morning. I sat down in the chair, nick took one look at my nails and said he would not do my nails because one of them was broken... I begged him. Because I have a shoot tomorrow and told him that my nail would be fine (because it was healed & only partially broken) IVE NEVER BEEN TURNED AWAY FOR SOMETHING SO PETTY. Nick refused to do my nails. I've been searching for any nail tech that can take an emergency appointment. I might have to miss or reschedule my shoot. This is going to be costly. A true nightmare.

    Love my nails !!!

    Leaving 1 star because I'm absolutely furious and hurt, been a loyal customer to Nick for over a year and been sending all my clients and customers to him. After the COVID I made sure that my sister and I were on his list when he starts working again, our text messages to him were non stop for 3 months. Finally he gave us an appointment for a Friday. Friday comes and he CANCELED on us last minute!!!! Reason being he doesn't have anywhere to work out of, we offered him our shop and he refused, because supposedly he needs super huge space to work out of, We gave him a lot of options and he said when he finds a spot we would be the first on his list. LIED !!!!! Checked his Instagram and turns out he is working, asked him if we can come in and he said he's not taking clients at this time, LOL ... he's taking in whoever he likes, or has certain amount of followers on Instagram, I don't even know what the reason is. It's sad that after all the support, and referrals and TIPS he lies, he didn't even refuse service he just straight out lied lol, but it's ok because after every full set I would have to remove my nails for another full set because he clearly can't do a good fill job, and had to cut off the full set job a few times because one was going left and the other right lol had to throw that in so people know !!!!!!!! Some girl tagged him on Instagram that she called and he took her on the spot didn't even need an appoint, lol she has 30k followers on Instagram hahahahahahah Refusing or lying to your regular long time loyal customers that paid you good money and often just to take in a few clients with a few thousand followers on Instagram is not gonna make you Chaun Legend JUST SAYING!!!!!!

    Amazing service! The location is easy to get to and has ample parking which is a plus. Anthony is very detail oriented, he has created a clean and comfortable space, and creates great nail art!

    The first set I walked away with

    Should of seen this coming but I don't check yelp often enough, let me spill my tea Nick is a great nail tech to try out but not someone you should be completely loyal too. The beginning was amazing we did beautiful sets and each time, never rushed his work, it's a minimum 2 hours with him for a full set. I would find myself sitting for almost 3 sometimes but I didn't mind, I got time Paid in full and left a fat tip in cash. Was a hand model for a good 10-15 minutes after each appointment always posting his work to my social media accounts. Tried my best to be comfortable because the language barriers are a thing but I really don't think he listens when people are talking to him? Selective hearing too? He likes specific type of clients. Only long nails One of my former coworkers goes to him now This is a business and I was money in his pocket at the end of the day. It just unfortunate that only ALMOST a year of being a client to him he has me walking away from him like this and I couldn't tell you why exactly. He told me and I quote him "so sorry can you try another place do for you" I got a fill on Friday with two nail fixes, Nick always knows what happens to my nails I have his number, after I got my fill FRIDAY it broke FRIDAY NIGHT. I stay having to get nail fixes with him, texted Nick right away and he called right after and told me He'd let me know when he could fix it cause he was busy.......... I'll attach the screenshots so y'all can get the vibe I had to call him SATURDAY cause I wasn't getting a response but he was posting on his social media account. Cool. This man told me he couldn't fix my ONE NAIL cause he hurt his hand, he was going to go to the DR and let me know, if that's the case. I really really hope his hand gets better and he continues doing amazing work! I'll find another nail tech but I had to keep this review real because my relationship with Nick was real and I considered him a friend and again it's unfortunate. But now here's SUNDAY night still broke and homeboy still hasn't said anything else to me lol I can just laugh now Because when it's all said and done. He lost a loyal client and I get to put money in someone else's pocket BUT hopefully this new nail tech I found on Instagram don't leave your girl hanging like this clown did. Thank you, next.

    Nick... left me completely speechless! Not only is he extremely sweet & welcoming but his amazing talent in his craft is out of this world. I've been with the same nail tech since I was 16 & she moved away so I was on the search for my new tech and I found him! My mother and I went together for a nail date & she was in awe! Right when we came in he had a big smile and gave us waters. He offered candy and just I thought it was so incredibly welcoming; his customer service was amazing. He's seriously a people person, easy to talk to & has such an adorable personality. His application, shaping, and designing is absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love that he pays attention to detail. He takes his time and honestly I appreciate that because he wants the nails to look absolutely Perfect!!!! He makes sure all nails are the same length and completely flawless. Worth every penny, I feel like an Instagram nail model now. Can't stop starring at my nails. I can't wait to go back, the experience was phenomenal. Also his spot is SO CUTE! It's classy & makes you feel like a queen. Also, he had an amazing playlist I was singing the whole time. He gave me life, blessed me with PERFECT claws! You won't regret booking with Nick

    Lumpy and thick!

    I'm pissed! I left without saying a word because my attitude can be terrible and his children were there. Nick was so rude at the end of my appointment because he said I got my nails too short and told me next time go somewhere else. Mind you he was hella rough, my nails are thick, and bubbles in my polish. He's in Arcadia in a very nice location but will be the death of his own business because he's RUDE! I held my composure but even with him telling me to go somewhere else next time I'd never go back to him or recommend him to anyone else. I'm so mad that I didn't look him up on here before I wasted $80. PISSED!!

    Went to nick for the first time a couple weeks ago for my birthday set. A week later, both of my thumb nails completely popped off. Next day, 2 nails are splitting high up. He is not in sherman oaks but in arcadia on santa anita ave by the restaurant natural selection. I asked him a few days ago if I can come in for a fill as I start a new job monday and have to tone the design down for work plus all these nails are popping off and cracking. Scheduled me for 6:15 the next day. I drove over and got there early so I waited in my car for like an hour. Went inside he is like hi how can I help you. I said Hi im the 6:15 remember? Its like he forgot. He proceeds to ask me what I want after we already discussed it. He then asks me where do you live and tells me he is tired and he cant do my nails. I said why didnt you send me a message and say that before I drove over here and waited over an hour. Checked his ig and he was doing nails all day up until it was time for me. So I blocked him. Yeah, he thinks he is Chaun Legend and he is most def not that. Also, everybody cannot wear Cardi B style nails.... people have professions and different taste. He will lowkey shame you and try to get you to change your mind if HE doesnt like what you want.

    Where do I even start?! Nick is literally the nail Jesus!! His work is sooo flawless. He always slays my nails and shapes them perfectly.. by far the best nail tech I've ever went to. Besides being amazing with nails, he's also the sweetest person ever!! I would recommend him to anyone.. thank you soo much Nick

    I will never go anywhere else. I am so incredibly particular with my nails and am beyond impressed with Nick's work. He took his time, was diligent, and precise with his craft. The salon is in the heart of Sherman Oaks - clean and cute. Highly recommend.
