I've gotten my nails done before by Carrie and came back after a while. No surprise, Carrie is amazing and detail oriented. Very easy to communicate with her throughout the process and would definitely recommend Carrie to friends and family. Love the fact there are Japanese gel options and many different designs. As long as you have a picture, I'm sure Carrie is able to accomplish. I also feel my nails feel healthier when having them done by Nail Leisure compared to some other nail salons. read more

Nail Leisure is my go to nail salon! No matter how far away I am, I always go out of my way to drive to this salon because of how much I love getting my nails done here. I always show them a new design I find on instagram or Pinterest, and they are always able to do the exact same design on my nails. If you ask, they also have stickers and charms that you can also put on your nails. I got my nails done over a month ago and still look amazing! read more

Very nice outcome on my nails. It was done very well with detailed nail art. A little pricey but the outcome is superb.

Walked in around 5:15pm and place closes at 7. I smiled and stood there waiting to be helped, but one of them just looked at me and started cackling with all the other ladies there. Umm... Ok, so is anyone going to help me or what!?!? After what felt like forever cackling, one of the cacklers asked me what I needed. I asked for powder dip (which they don't have), or gel x. After consulting with one of the cacklers, she asked me to come tomorrow. Umm... NO, JUST NO read more

First nail experience in the Socal area and I can see why so many people get their nails done here. I usually get gel manicure however I wanted something different so I opted for their Japanese Gel manicure. I didn't catch the tech's name but I believe her last name is Weng. She was super attentive and was willing to try on different nail colors to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. They provide free WiFi, only downside is that they didn't turn on their ac and it was super humid and hot. Only thing that bothered me was how thick the gel is. I really hate it when my coats are thick. I definitely will come back when I'm in town. Also they will charge $1 if you use credit card. read more

*WARNING gross picture attached* I usually love going here to get my nails done and never had a bad experience here. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience on my most recent visit here. While getting my nails prepped for my new set, the technician cut my side of the nail and it started bleeding. It wasn't so bad at first, but now it seems like i got an infection from the cut.... if you are coming here, keep an eye on your nails and let them know when they hurt you :( read more

The nail tech/ owner is rude. She always has a sour face and bad attitude. I stopped coming here because it's really uncomfortable getting my nails done with so much tension. I bought a groupon recently for lash services and didn't know it was at this nails place. They tried to upsell me on the lash services. I didn't pay the extra $ and she was done in 15 mins and didn't look like anything was done.... lash tech was nice but the service could've been better. read more

I love this place! Designs are super cute and the Japanese gel is awesome! It doesn't create a thick nail.

They also have monthly specials that are super cute!! read more

Loved my experience getting a gel mani from Yao Yao! The salon is very quiet and calming as all the nail techs are hard at work, and honestly it was mesmerizing just watching Yao Yao do my nails. I showed her a photo from Pinterest and I think I like my nail results better than the inspo. Definitely on the pricier side if you're looking to get a design of any sort, but I'd say it's worth every penny. : ) read more

Nail Leisure truly live up to its name. Their nails are high quality and lasts more than 3 weeks without a single one popping off. Although it's pretty pricey, it's worth it if you want to treat yourself. Unlike other nail salons, this one never made me bleed or feel any kind of discomfort. Everyone seems pretty friendly and will talk to you if you talk to them, but most of the time, they stay quiet and focus on their job. Inside the store, they have modern decorations and doesn't give off a ratchet look. My technicians are very skilled. I show them a picture of the nails I want and they replicate it really well and even giving their own opinions on it to improve the look. They only do gel extension tho. Overall, very impressed. read more

First time coming here and it was a great experience! The set I got was $68 and the colors can be changed to how you like it. And the girl who helped me (I think her name was Yao) was very particulate and detailed on the manicure set. I was very pleased with her overall job and will definitely come back looking for her! read more

The only place I trust with my nails in SoCal! I make sure to pay a visit whenever I am back home in the 626. The interior is clean, decorative, and service is great. I go to Carrie each time and I have never been disappointed. I have done both Japanese gel and normal polish here. I'm super anal with how smooth the polish is, and I have never come out with any creases or bubbles. When I chose Japanese gel, it came in a pot and Carrie used a flat brush to paint it on. I did a mini-dance in my head when she did this because it painted on so buttery smooth. I once got a gel nail set done and that lasted for 6 weeks without lifting! That is how you know they use good product. I have some friends from other shops that need to get their sets touched up in less than a month. Overall, this shop goes really far for their customers. Whenever I want to fix the shape of a nail, Carrie helps without complaint. I've also seen them do a sample nail for a customer to make sure they could recreate exactly what they wanted. Just be clear what you want and are expecting of your service. It helps both parties! I've seen some reviews concerning a language barrier, but I've never had a problem using English in the shop. They have a lot of non-Asian customers, so don't let that deter you. read more

Very unimpressed with this salon - my mani/pedi was rushed and you can definitely see weird crease marks, bubbles and uneven coats. Maybe they're known for their gel? But this is NOT the spot for a regular mani/pedi. My nail technician was nice, but lacking in skill and was not precise at all. Service was also rushed because another lady came in, and you could tell they didn't want to stay a minute past closing. You know when you look down at your nails and cringe at all the imperfections? Pretty steep price for a half-assed, unsatisfactory job. I'll stick to Vietnamese salons over this Chinese one. read more

This was the fastest (most rushed?) gel mani I've ever received & I get gel manicures fairly regularly. I was in & out of the salon within 30 minutes, and my manicure didn't include hand massage, lotion, cuticle oil. (Not sure if it was supposed to, but that's my experience everywhere else!) I asked for my nails to be shaped square, but they were shaped more round in my opinion. I also felt that my manicurist cut too much cuticle, because the next day I had a ginormous painful hangnail! Also, they used a cheap gel base & top coat on me (Aimeili), I know because I've bought it on amazon lol. All this being said, the staff was not rude (though not super friendly either) & the manicure itself lasted and had not chipped when I removed almost 2 weeks later. Overall, not the worst but likely won't be returning!! read more

They do great jobs on my nails. The blue set picture was taken three weeks after it was initially done. Most recommended! read more

This is the first time I had to do my own nails in over two years due to self-isolation mandates in California. Oh, how I miss my beautiful manicures by Yao Yao, my go-to manicurist there! I refuse to go anywhere else to get my manicures. I remember the first time I gave Yao Yao a very intricate nail design to do back in October for my wedding day and ever since then, I have been a loyal customer! From matte ombré nails, to floral designs, nail stickers and beautiful holiday themed designs, she can do it all! When she is not backed up with customers, she can finish my gel ombré nails in a little over an hour! Helpful Facts: 1. They have a Customer Loyalty Program that they don't advertise. You can either opt in for the $500 package, which gives you 13% on nail services or the $1,000 package that gives you 15% on nail services. For those that don't want to spend the full $1,000, I highly suggest the $500 package, let's face it you will eventually use it up any way! This is how their package works, if you purchase the $500 package, your manicurist will ring you up and include the 13% discount. For example, if you have a $60 nail bill, they will only charge you $52.80 and deduct it from the $500 package you paid for. For all you frequent nail goers out there, I highly suggest this package! 2. They have an updated nail art board of different nail designs with their promo prices and regular prices on them. When I went back there in February, I got one of their promo sets and it was much less than their normal price. 3. In addition to all these perks, they also offer monthly nail design promos. They usually have around 4-5 promo monthly designs they advertise. 4. If by chance your nails peel or chip within 7 days of your visit, they fix your nail or nails as a courtesy. This will most likely happen if you always get the Japanese gel nails, which is a higher quality gel than the American gel they offer. 5. They allowed Moana, my maltipoo in their salon. Of course, I asked them before I brought her or else that would have been rude. I am happy to know they are dog-friendly! Not only is Nail Leisure only about a block away from where I live, but they also do beautiful nails and it is always a joy to spark up a conversation with Yao Yao. I highly recommend this place for people looking for their go-to nail salon! Another plus is that Hyper Coffee is right across the street from them too! read more

My go-to nail tech here is Una. She does a really nice job at filing, shaping, and painting and she meticulously exams your nails to ensure there are no imperfections. The salon itself is not much to write about, since it's on the smaller side and sometimes doesn't feel like it's the absolute cleanest, but nevertheless, they have great hours, are very accommodating, and have an amazing selection of colors. American gel manicure is $25 and Japan gel is more than that, though it depends on if you get a design or not. They do have monthly specials based on some pre-determined designs. If you are in the area, I would suggest booking an appointment with Una. The other technicians are good too but I find her to be the best. A few other things - if you pay with credit card you get charged $1 fee. They play popular music but apart from that the technicians don't talk too much so it is pretty quiet inside. read more

This place is amazing! My gel manicure lasts a month and my nails look and feel so much stronger and healthier! I got the Japanese Gell manicure, it's a bit more expensive, but it's sooooo worth it! The care and time they take prepping your nails is amazing too! They have some cool designs and always have monthly design specials so you can be fancy on a budget! They have all of the foils, stickers, gems and other accessories to add too. I've been getting simple designs, but I love them! I'm so happy with my nails, they look great for every occasion! read more

I don't typical write reviews anymore but I wanted to for Nail Leisure. Visiting a nail salon isn't the best use of my time. However, my friend Mindy convinced me to try there foot scrub. Being a dude and visiting a nail salon is a bit intimating of all things but I went ahead and made an appointment to see what this foot scrub was about. To my surprise the salon doesn't have this funky stinky smell like the other shops my ex forced me to visit. I had to inquire about why it doesn't smell like those other shops. The manager informed me that they don't use the harsh chemicals like they do at the other shops. I was 20 minutes early and waited patiently for my scrub. One of the technicians offered to make me coffee/tea/water. Pretty surprised for this level of service at a Nail Salon. One of the girls sat me down to prepare me for the scrub. Sitting on this thrown was like being a king. I can see why women pamper themselves at these establishments. It was very strange that they were wrapping the fancy foot bowl with plastic and I just had to inquire about that too. She informed me that this was for sanitary reasons and I may get a foot infection if the bowl isn't clean. Good to know! Since it was my first visit, she offered to give me a pedicure for free with the scrub. SCORE! She sprayed some chemical on my foot then wrapped it in plastic, dunked my feet into the gold plastic wrapped bowl. Came back later and performed a scrub. The scrub felt strangely familiar with other home scrubs i tried BUT until I felt my feet. This scrub is some sort of jesus juice on crack. I've tried other DYI at home products such as babyfoot, salt/sugar/teatree scrubs, foot files, pumice stones, deadsea masks, and etc. My foot felt like a babies ass. Literally a babies ass. It was similar to how the babyfoot product would work but I don't have to wait weeks for the skin to fall off and deal with the mess. It was super smooth and I would say its better than babyfoot. I would defiantly come back for this LCN footscrub. read more

I have been here several times and the ladies are generally nice. They primarily speak Chinese with limited English but pictures communicate what I need. The reason it's not 5 stars is two reasons 1) they take a long time for nails and designs. Minimally if you are getting a manicure and gel designs 1.5 -2.5 hours. Depending on how complex and how many nails you want done. 2) the price can really add up if you want foil, or anything special. I think on both occasions I left with a $80 + bill for the nails and then I added tip. Therefore you should be mindful what designs you get. My usual nail place does great designs, last longer and for a cheaper price. read more

I had Una as my nail tech she did such a nice job. I would really recommend this place. I wanted to try something new instead of always getting acrylics, I got gel x. Una pays close attention to detail and takes her time. She does not do a half ass job. This is for sure my go to place for the next time I need to get my mani and pedi. Prices are reasonable because the quality of their services is very reliable. Definitely deserves five stars. When they say you get what you pay for, it's actually true. I love my nails so much!!! read more

Always come back to this amazing place and change my nail style in every 2-3 weeks, love this place and highly recommend to everyone! Their monthly special styles look really cute and priced reasonable, the gel can hold for even for a month. They normally change the monthly special styles in every few weeks, but in overall if you go with the normal gel styles, they have a lot of beautiful colors. ;) read more

Nail Leisure is a hidden gem tucked away on 1st Street just south of Huntington. They accept walk-ins and are friendly upon entering. The pedicure station makes you feel like a queen with the accent hanging divider curtains, leather seats and the foot bowls are gorgeous with an iridescent finish. The young lady that did my pedicure was gentle and did a superb polish job. The woman who did my gel nails did a great job, I got exactly what I asked for and more. The added bonus was a $5 discount with gel polish Yelp Check-In but I would've gladly paid the difference. I'm happy to have My New Place so close to home and open later than most places. They have regular polish, American and Japanese gel colors and a ton of designs to choose from if you're having trouble being creative yourself. Street parking isn't difficult to find a spot, you can use a credit/debit card and add tip on if you don't have cash. If you do want to use cash but don't have any on you there are three banks within two blocks. I had a great experience and will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks ladies! read more

I usually don't write reviews on yelp but I felt like I had to and hate giving bad reviews even more. I was really disappointed in the outcome of the plaid design, it wasn't what I was expecting, the lines weren't even nor was the thickness of the lines. The girl changed some of the nail design without telling me. I get that the design won't be the same since it's a different place but she didn't tell me that she would putting a bigger size bead instead of what it was suppose to be. She didn't tell me she added extra ones.. I didn't notice until she had but on the last layer of coat. This isn't the usual nail place I would go to but I though I'll give it a try but I'm kinda disappointed. I paid $121 not including tip. They do charge an extra $1 for using credit card, not sure about debit. In my opinion I don't think this was worth $121. The technician skills were very beginners like , there is a thigh layer of hard gel under my nail on all 10 fingers. I asked her to try to get rid of it but there was still a huge chuck left.. It feels uncomfortable and I kinda regret getting my nails done. I'm kinda sad that the snow flakes were a different color , feels like it doesn't match. I don't hate the design but it's not worth 121... especially with the thigh layer gel under my nail.. Sadly I didn't get the manicurist name. read more

*Updated review* I was a first time customer and wasn't very happy with the results of my nails. I let the manager know. She called my cell the same night and apologized for my unpleasant experience. She offered me to come back and re-do my nails for free. The nail artist who previously did my nails also apologized, it was very sincere of her and I appreciate that. I came in the next morning and got my nails re-done with Carrie. Now it looks exactly like how I wanted them!! I was tired of going to different nail salons and getting inconsistent results, so I've been looking for a go-to nail salon that truly cares about quality and customer satisfaction. Both are obviously important to them. I found my go-to place and I'll be coming back regularly. read more

Unprofessional staffs. My sister and I walked in and was greeted by a nail tech and explained and answered our questions about their prices. Then told us to pick a color in the back to the store. 16mins later, one of the nail tech yelled out across the room, "EXCUSE ME!!! You need service?" Like as if we were bothering them just by picking and choosing nail polish color. We told them "oh we thought we were waiting for you guys to let us know when you're ready for us." They didn't say anything like they don't understand English. I walked out of there without getting my nails done. Bottom line is, they don't speak good English, they don't know good customer service, and they don't know how to be professional. They also talked shit about their customer in Chinese. read more

My review of Nail Leisure is long overdue! I first came here after my usual place was closed and had to seriously get my nails done ASAP. I've had my nails done by Carrie, Zoe, and another wonderful nail artist (unfortunately I've never gotten her name - but she's done my nails the most). They can do absolutely anything! I've had matte, 3D gel, marble, and other designs and gel polish done by them and I always leave satisfied and can't wait to come back when. They usually take between 1.5-2 hours to do my nails, but it's worth every minute. They are incredibly talented, especially Zoe who has done my marble nails, and the lovely nail artist that sits at the first station. They are patient and offer color advice and make sure your nails are nothing less than perfect before you leave. Many yelpers here have complained about them being rude, or refusing them service, but I've never experienced this and never seen them be rude when they turn away customers. Truthfully, they can get busy, even on weekdays. When I came in today at 2, I was their only customer, but by 2:30 their appointments had begun to arrive and they were completely booked by the time I left at 4. I've never had trouble getting an appointment within the same day, or within a few hours. I truly recommend this place and these wonderful girls to anyone who wants beautiful and creative nails. Just call ahead and make your appointment read more
