Membership they sold only to cancel it without notification or explanation.

While the nail techs are great, this place as a business is shady AF. They widely sold a "membership" of "unlimited nail services" for $1499. After establishing service, they changed the terms without notification vastly limiting services allowed. When I spoke up, they cancelled my membership entirely. Classic bait and switch! I have repeatedly asked for management to call me to explain and no one has reached out -after waiting 2 weeks. I gave them the opportunity to right the wrong, but they didn't even try, so I'm writing my honest review. This place used to be really nice pre-covid but it's a joke now. I even witnessed a physical fight between 2 nail techs! The vibe is way off here and the staff changes by the week. With so many great nail salons in the area, why settle for this mediocre shop? My review is of the ownership and management - not of the nail techs! The nail techs are great and I hope they find happier workplaces elsewhere!

Update to my below post. Nail garden reached out as soon as I put up my post. They told me they would make it right and wanted me to be 100% satisfied. I came in the next day and got a new set of beautiful nails!! I'm very happy now. Shout out to Joanna she's so helpful and sweet. Great customer service. And shout out to Rena she did a great job on my nails. -------- Service was great. Salon is clean and big. That's not the issue. It's the products or maybe the tech. Because I went in on Friday and within two days one gel x nail just fell off. I didn't apply pressure. It just wiggled off ... flash forward to now, not even a week later.I've had to re glue my own nails back on at least 6 times I'm so disappointed because I just moved to town and I was so happy with the initial visit. I even told the nail tech that I found my new place.. but no. The glue or products or whatever she used was not good and I've had bad nails this whole week. Not worth the

Nails done by Anna  Acrylic full set with gel polish

I've been in many time before to get a mani and pedi. They've always done a great job. So I figured I'd make an attempt to get a full set my them. I've had pretty consistent bad services with nail extensions to the point that my friends and family find it comedic with the luck I've had. I've partly have accepted it might be because I was just not blessed with dainty feminine hands. But Anna did it!!! She restored my faith in getting my nails done and being able to feel "pretty". Which by the way that was the description I asked for. "I just want something pretty". Shes a mind reader. Also I've had experiences with of the receptionist and which both were extremely welcoming and genuinely kind. 10/10 recommendation. I haven't taken the time to write a review in yeaaaarrsss if that means anything to ya :)

I've been coming here consistently for about 2 months now. I always get my manicure from Coco and she never fails to impress me. If you want fun designs, Coco is the girl to see!! The environment here is so relaxing and calm. All the staff I've interacted with so far are really friendly and attentive. Will definitely continue to come here.

I just have to shout out the MOST incredible nail experience ever with Coco!!! When I say she is AMAZINGGG in every way possible, I mean it. Her attention to detail? Unreal. Her precision? Flawless. Her creativity? Next level. She truly takes her time and makes sure everything is perfect -- shape, color, design, vibe -- all of it. Not only is she insanely talented, but she's also so sweet, patient, and professional. She made me feel comfortable, listened to exactly what I wanted, and somehow made it even better than I imagined. My nails have NEVER looked this good. And can we talk about Joanna at the front desk?! She is freaking FABULOUS. From the second you walk in, she greets you with the warmest, most welcoming energy. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and that you feel taken care of. Her personality is genuinely top tier -- so kind, attentive, and just a whole vibe. The entire experience felt luxurious, seamless, and so positive. 10/10 recommend. If you're thinking about booking -- DO IT. You'll walk out feeling like that girl

JuJu, is amazing!! She's always polite and always professional. The receptionist assist me with my services, my needs are always met! If you are looking for a calm/peaceful and friendly environment this is the place for you. One of the best nail salons I've been to that I highly recommend.

Gelx nails, French tip design, 3D flowers

Absolutely in love with my nails! The deep burgundy French tips, delicate 3D flowers, came out so beautiful. I showed an inspo pic to my nail tech Anna and it turned out exactly how i wanted. The attention to detail is amazing, and I'm obsessed with how clean and polished everything looks. Highly recommend this salon if you want gorgeous, detailed nail art! Anna has been my go to nail tech since I first started going to the salon. I would highly recommend asking for Anna if you want gorgeous nails that look clean and polished, last more than month without lifting and someone that pays attention to detail when it comes to their work.

what I got
Nita P.

Wow! I came here right after my horrible experience with another salon to see if they can salvage the monstrosity I received at the other location. I was welcomed with open loving arms even when they were experiencing an unforeseen power outage. They communicated with me to be open and honest, they reassured me they were going to take care of me and I sure was. I left with a smile on my face. Joanne I believe is the owners name is beyond wonderful and you can tell she loves her profession, nail techs and customers. Even being under extreme pressure she put everyone before herself and still delivered the same customer service she would have if she had power. I left with satisfied and she even made my man feel good about himself. You will be well taken care of here.

I recently visited Nail Garden in Redondo Beach a little over a week ago while on vacation in California.overall my experience was mixed. The location is great and very convenient, especially if you're spending time near the beach. The salon itself was clean, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The service felt welcoming, and I appreciated how accommodating everyone was. However, the appointment took much longer than expected, particularly for a dip manicure. What should have been a fairly standard service ended up being quite time-consuming, which was a bit frustrating. Unfortunately, the biggest issue has been the quality of the dip manicure. After just one week, my nails are in really poor condition -- the polish is cracking and chipping, and my natural nails are starting to split. For the price, I expected much better durability and overall results. I was also surprised that there were no massage chairs, especially given the higher cost of services. It felt like an important detail was missing from what should have been a more premium experience. Overall, while the location and customer service were positives, the long service time and disappointing quality of the dip manicure make it hard to justify the price.Now, I need to have my nails redone in my home state. This service should ah e lasted me more than a week.

Susan's facial is truly wonderful and her positive energy adds so much to the experience. I had an…read more80 minute facial and it was one of the most relaxing treatments I've had in a long time. The facial focused on detoxifying the face using a jade gua sha technique, which noticeably reduced puffiness and inflammation. The ear lymphatic drainage was a unique touch that made a visible difference. The session also included a relaxing hand, shoulder, neck, and foot massage. Susan uses Murad products and my skin felt refreshed and radiant afterward. The heated bed was incredibly comfortable and the private setting made the experience even more restorative. Extractions were gentle, so if you're looking for something more aggressive with a lancet or needle, this may not be the place. But for a soothing, high quality facial with real results, this is a standout.

[Review #688] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (9/100)…read more I've been a client of Susan Halpern since 2014 when she worked at Murad Inclusive Health Spa (refer to Review #111) where I first started my recurring monthly facial treatments in 2002. I lost touch with Susan after the spa closed, & it took me another 5 years to find & reconnect as a client of Forever Young By Susan in 11/2020. Her "studio" is located in The Face Place & More Skin & Body Care, sharing the space with Linda Hirsch, Cloud 9 Massage, SkinFX, & Advanced Skincare By Marilyn. Services include anti-aging/acne facials (Luminesce, Acne Complex, Sun Undone, Resurgence, Back, Youth Building, Chinese Gua Sha, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, Men's) & waxing (Chin/Lip/Sideburns, Brow/Underarm, Traditional Bikini, Playboy Bikini, 1/2 Leg, Full Leg/Back/Chest). The facials are customized to client's needs & 50+ min. facials include additional services. I used to alternate between Luminesce, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, & Resurgence as a Murad client. Since reconnecting, I've been booking the CHINESE FACIAL GUA SHA (detoxification of face, neck, & shoulders with special jade gua sha technique; combats aging, reduces inflammation & puffy eyes, decreases pore sizes, help speed up cell regeneration, reduces stress) on a monthly basis to clean my face healthy & glowing. The daily life workload & stress, in addition to COVID-19, I really need this monthly getaway, even if it's just a small fraction of time. I'm usually just on time or a couple minutes behind, Susan always opens & greets me at the door with a smile (a huge + in my book that I'm not delayed because that cuts into my paid time)! =) The space is private -- just us -- but I always wear my mask & make sure I'm healthy before going even if we're vaccinated & boosted, & there's a temperature check at the entrance. The intimate room is clean & well-organized with dimmed lighting, comfy & warm bed, & relaxing background music to promote a serene & zen treatment. Before starting, Susan did a thorough analysis (to make sure this is the best facial for my current needs). As mentioned in the previous review, a good esthetician should recommend a different method than your standard MO because your skin changes with age, sun exposure/the elements, etc. Susan ALWAYS does just that at each appointment, adjusting the technique, timing of each process, etc. And if you're a new client, she explains what product & process in each step. At times, I don't even have to point out the problem areas because she spots these changes under the magnifying glass & adjust the treatment to rebalance & rejuvenate my skin. Sometimes Susan focuses more on my face, & other times when I'm rather stressed/tensed, she spends a little more time on the mini massage to remove the kinks & knots in my shoulders & neck. I'm highly sensitive to touch (= extremely ticklish), yet she skillfully maneuvers over these stress points with ease without my breaking out into delirious laughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only 1 other professional, Francine (also from defunct Murad), was able to give me a massage without me squealing or squirming. Under Susan's proficient care & deft hands, the extraction process was minimal in discomfort that I can nap through the facial process when I'm tired. Most recently, I've been awake through my facials to chat in Cantonese. It's so nice to find someone who can speak the language so I can strengthen my Chinese roots, help me with common idioms & phrases, etc., bond over upbringing & familial care, etc. =) Comfort, quality, & care is what Forever Young By Susan is all about. Susan incorporates Eastern & Western techniques to detox & take care of the my skin issues that leaves me with dewy, glowing skin! I highly recommend Susan for your facial treatments. So sit back & relax... you're definitely in good hands (pun intended). ;-)

She doesn't just give a haircut, she teaches you how to shape your hair to fit your face and actually work with your natural texture. I've sent so many friends to her, and every single one has ended up switching from their previous hairstylist to Janelle permanently. She especially shines with curly hair and truly knows how to bring tired, damaged, or shapeless hair back to life. From face framing layers to full hair revivals, she somehow always nails it. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients leaving confident and loving their hair. Finding a stylist this talented feels like discovering a hidden little treasure chest with scissors.

I went to Aveda Vicara in El Segundo last week with really high hopes because I've always had great…read moreexperiences with Aveda salons in the past. Unfortunately, this experience was incredibly disappointing. I showed the first stylist multiple reference photos of what I wanted, but she ended up adding a very dark root color to my already lightened hair, which was the complete opposite of the look I asked for. After expressing my concerns, the salon did have another stylist step in to help correct it, which I appreciated, although I waited nearly two hours in between. The second stylist made me feel much more comfortable and did improve the situation, but I still left unhappy with my hair overall. The correction consisted of using a color remover on the roots and applying toner to the rest of my hair, and I was charged $265 for it. At the end of the day, my hair looked better than what the first stylist did but still nowhere near what I originally asked for or envisioned. I'm leaving this review because I think communication and transparency are incredibly important, especially with color services. What upset me most was not just the outcome, but the way the situation was handled overall. I understand that corrections can take time and effort, but if I was going to be charged $265 for a corrective service after my hair was initially mishandled, that should have been clearly communicated to me beforehand. I truly wanted to love this salon and leave feeling taken care of, but unfortunately I left feeling disappointed, uncomfortable, and unhappy with the overall experience.
