Lindsay M.

I've been coming here regularly since June, for gel x fills, and they always nail the assignment (no pun intended). Clean, friendly, efficient. Great work! I try to make it every 2-3 weeks, but could probably go longer as the work is top notch

Black french tip with flowers

Absolutely killed it with another set. service is always fast and amazing! Best nail techs in downtown

So I just moved to DTLA and haven't yet found a spot to land for my pedicures. Apparently I'll have to keep looking because it won't be here. I hate to post my feet publicly but it's just that awful. I got the "deluxe" pedicure with regular polish for $53. My nail tech was "Ellie" and her service was so rough that at one point I had to ask her to be gentler. She kept jerking and yanking my feet, making quick motions that indicated she just wanted to do it and get it over with. She did it in an indifferent manner with no care or attention. The proof is in the pics. I asked her to cut my nails short and they are uneven and sharp. One big toenail is shorter than the other, and there is still lots of dry skin around the toes even though she called herself doing the exfoliation and callous remover, which were part of the package. You can also see where the polish is not even; she didn't paint down to the cuticle. To Ellie's credit when she saw the disapproval on my face, she started putting forth more effort. Before that, she was only stroking my leg for the massage. Just running her fingers up and down my leg. By the time she pulled out the hot lava stones, I just wanted it to be over. The manager offered me a $7 or 10% discount and a couple of extra stamps when she noticed my disdain, but I would rather just move on and find a place I enjoy. I'm going on vacation this week, and I may have them done again when I get to Atlanta

This place is my only place for nails I only go to Kevin & Lena love them Kevin always gets my French on point.
Breyanne F.

Kevin & Lena are the best everyone here is great but the only 2 I've been going to since 2023 Kevin keeps my real nails so healthy and strong & Lena does my toes she's very precise ! Definitely come here if u need that quick walk in with good work !

My go to place! Love the quality of work and designs. Sam & Vivian do my nails. The place is well maintained and clean, all the workers are friendly. Totally recommend nail place.

Gel/ cat eye manicure.

Just decided to go here on a whim. I saw pictures online but was pleasantly surprised by how clean and organized the salon looked. I got a gel/cat eye manicure and spa pedicure. It was 112 total(not including tip), but after a recent experience at another salon, I was ok with paying that price. Mimi and Ellie did a great job and I would definitely go back

Cat Eye Green Nails
Ilsia M.

I had a great experience with Sam and Amy at Nail Place LA. They were both so welcoming and detail oriented from start to finish. I chose a soft green shimmer and they absolutely nailed it. The shape is perfect, the application is smooth, and the shine looks amazing in every light. They really took their time and did not rush, which I appreciated. The salon is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend them.

My first Yelp review... and I wish it didn't have to be for this. I've been coming to this salon for years. My daughter was just 4 years old when we started coming here, and we lived next door at bunker . The previous staff literally watched her grow up. We became loyal customers because the service was consistently great, the pricing felt fair, and we always left happy. Unfortunately, since the new ownership took over this year, everything that made this place special has slowly disappeared. The prices have increased, many of the talented technicians we loved have left (especially Lyn , who was incredible), appointments take significantly longer, and parking is no longer validated. What used to be a quick one-hour visit now regularly turns into well over two hours, which means we're also paying more just to park. Today's visit was the final straw. Two weeks ago, my daughter and I both got brand-new full sets with detailed, intricate nail art. Today, we returned for fills with much simpler designs, my daughter got simple pedicure no nail color just cleaning of the cuticles. After I got home and compared my receipts, I realized we were actually charged more today for simple fills than we paid for our full sets two weeks ago. That honestly doesn't make sense. I've included photos of both visits along with the receipts so people can judge for themselves. The darker green nails are from our full sets two weeks ago. Today's designs were much simpler, yet somehow cost more. This review isn't because I'm trying to argue over a few dollars. It's about transparency and consistency. If prices have changed, explain them. If there are additional charges, communicate them before the service--not after I've already paid and left. The one thing I can't stand is being played As someone who's supported this salon for years and brought my daughter here throughout her childhood, I feel incredibly disappointed. I never imagined I'd be looking for another nail salon after all these years, but the experience under the new ownership simply isn't the same. Loyal customers notice when things change, and unfortunately, not for the better. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously because this salon used to be one of my favorite places. Right now, I can't recommend it the way I once did

I'm so happy that I found this nail salon!! Everyone here is amazing at what they do and are very welcoming! A plus is that they're walking distance from my apartment. 10/10 recommend!!

Dominique B.

I come here every 2 weeks. Live the vibes and the energy. All the techs are super sweet and nice. I've have yet to find anything wrong. I literally just left and I'm just excited at how beautiful my french tips are. Full set and pedi for my trip!!! THANK YOUUU !!!

Another excellent job!

Everyone in this salon is excellent! From the selection of colors to always getting exactly what I want....a mani/pedi here is a small luxury that makes one smile. I highly recommend The Nail Place! A DTLA gem!

Ashlea G.

Excellent and responsive service! It's a beautiful spa. The chairs are high end and extra comfy. The staff is friendly and helpful. I booked a same day appointment. Sophia did my hands (build a gel) and Natalie did my feet. When I'm back in LA, I'll come here if I need some pampering.

My nice nails , love them .
Liz G.

Service and quality are good to give you what you asked for meet your appointment time , validate parking . Pricing is good . Prefer about an appointment extremely busy.

I had my first ever session with Brave Kitty Waxing yesterday and I couldn't be happier! For…read morecontext, there were things on my end that caused some issues/inconveniences, but everyone I interacted with went beyond making my experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Initially, I had some trouble booking an appointment online. I ended up reaching out to the posted phone number, and I was helped out promptly (even though I messaged them relatively late, and usually past open hours for other businesses.) With their help and knowledge, they were able to figure out that it was the internet browser and autofill that was preventing the webpage from working properly. Once that was figured out, everything went according to plan and I was able to successfully make a booking. Additionally, I was so blessed to have had Ashley guide me through my first time. She was clearly knowledgeable in her expertise and I cannot emphasize enough how great of an educator she was! I had LOTS of questions but she clearly and warmly communicated the information with me. I also want to highlight how safe the environment she provided was. You can tell how much care and consideration she puts into every client's individual and personal wants and needs. Also, this is technically outside the services, but I had a little predicament (absolutely caused by me) before the start of my appointment. I was already having a tough day and was just looking forward to the waxing as a way to end the night. With my luck, I accidentally dropped my keys in the locked stairwell when I was climbing up from the garage So many scenarios and "solutions" were running through my head but everything made me feel defeated. It took lots of rumination and freaking out, but I ended up just going up to Brave Kitty Waxing and communicating my situation with them. I was warmly welcomed by Ashley and right from the start, she treated me with kindness and respect. I was a HUGE nervous wreck but she recognized the situation and she was able to problem solve quickly. We did end up getting it resolved and I got my keys back! I wanted to mention this as this problem was 100% my fault and caused by me and she absolutely did not need to help me out. This happened right before my scheduled slot time and I felt so bad taking so much of her time and energy. Our very first interaction was me freaking out BAD, but she was nothing but a beacon of joy and calm. I was also evidently still anxious/jittery once we started our session, but Ashley's presence and professionalism was very grounding and reassured how safe I felt in their hands throughout the whole process. My first experience had some bumps (because of me) but I was met with nothing but understanding and compassion from everyone who helped me out with Brave Kitty Waxing (+the maintenance man I would like to give him recognition and thanks as well.) I was already aware of the environment they provided (from others' reviews), but I was not expecting how much above and beyond everyone would be. I am excitedly looking forward to my future sessions! Thank you again to Brave Kitty Wax for providing such a personal and protected space and experience

Safe space for women of all shapes and sizes. Worth every penny! My first experience with Brave Kitty was almost 10 years ago at their previous location. I went in for a Brazilian at 8 1/2 months pregnant. I felt like a whale, but the lady made me feel so welcomed. She did an amazing job and it was quick. After having kids I just never got waxed again. Then finally 1 year ago I decided it was time to ditch the razor and get back to waxing. I've been going regularly since then. Would recommend this place to every woman. 100/100

That loyalty made my most recent visit all the more disappointing. I had a 10:50am appointment. The day before, Felicia texted asking if I could push to 11am. I said I'd try to rearrange my plans. She replied: "let's keep the 10:45." I managed to move things around (because if she was asking, I figured she was in need, and I wanted to help) and arrived at 10:57 -- 7 minutes late by the original booking, not 15. When I walked in, Felicia told me I was 15 minutes late. I explained I'd rearranged my schedule to accommodate her request. She shrugged and said "too bad, I already booked someone afterwards.". It wasn't until I was in the room that I checked the reminder email -- original appointment: 10:50. So by her own scheduler, I was 7 minutes late, not 15. Felicia eventually gave me an extra 5 minutes to make up for the mix-up, and I appreciated that. But the cold, dismissive way she started the appointment stayed with me. That's not how you treat someone who's followed you for 15 years. Part of why I see Felicia specifically -- and not one of those high-volume places with curtain walls and hospital beds for tables (you know the ones) -- is the whole experience. A facial should be calming and restorative, and Felicia's warmth has always been as much a part of that as her technique. When that warmth disappeared at the door, it colored everything that followed. The facial itself was top notch. Felicia is genuinely skilled, stays current on products and techniques, and can deliver a top-notch treatment in her sleep. I hope this was an off day, because the person that greeted me at the door was not the warm person that I've been loyal to for a decade and a half.

I was literally trying to find the studio for the first time. They have a seven-minute grace period, which is unusually strict, particularly given how difficult their location is to navigate. I was not given clear instructions about where to park. Once you arrive, there is no sign identifying the studio by its name anywhere that I could see. The building signage/directory was in Korean, and I could not find English signage identifying the studio. As someone who does not read Korean and had never been there before, I had no obvious way of knowing where the business was located. I called approximately eight minutes after my appointment time while I was already parking and explained that I was there and that finding the parking had been confusing. I was told that my appointment had already been canceled because they only offer a seven-minute grace period. So, to be clear: I was a first-time customer who had booked approximately 30 minutes earlier, was physically at the location and parking, and was ONE MINUTE beyond their grace period--and they had already canceled my appointment. On top of that, they never notified me that they canceled it. No call. No text. Nothing. Had I not called them myself, I would have parked, gone inside, tried to navigate a building where their studio was not clearly identified to me, and apparently only then discovered that my appointment had been canceled. I completely understand businesses having late policies. What I don't understand is having such a rigid seven-minute cutoff while providing a first-time customer with inadequate information for navigating an unfamiliar and confusing location--and then offering absolutely no understanding or flexibility when that customer is already there and parking one minute beyond the cutoff. The way the phone conversation was handled was probably the most disappointing part. There was no attempt to understand the situation, help, accommodate me, or even acknowledge the confusion. It was simply that my appointment had already been canceled. The interaction came across as dismissive and unnecessarily rude. Policies are one thing; customer service is another. If you're going to have an unusually strict seven-minute grace period, then provide first-time customers with exceptionally clear parking and arrival instructions and notify them if you're canceling their appointment. A little communication, courtesy, and reasonable flexibility would have completely changed this experience. Instead, they lost a brand-new customer before I ever even made it through the door. I will not be returning.
