I've been getting Gel-X consistently for over 5 years and have never experienced anything like this. I went to this salon on Wednesday for a full Gel-X set. The same day, one nail completely popped off. I went back and they fixed that nail, which I already felt wasn't normal. The next day, another nail came off. I called and was told I could come in to "fix it," but at that point I was already questioning the quality of the work. Then, within the next couple of days, three more nails came off. In total, five nails detached within days of service. This is clearly not normal wear -- it's an application/prep issue. What's most disappointing is that the only solution offered was repeatedly "come back and we'll fix it," with no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, no refund, and no offer to redo the full set, despite the obvious failure. Between the time wasted, the cost, and the frustration, this was a very poor experience. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this salon for Gel-X services. read more

If you don't want gel mani this place turns you down immediately claiming that "you need to call before you come," but originally refused to give me an appointment over the phone. Do they want customers or not? Unprofessional read more

Narineh is the best! I've been going to her for years. I go to her for my mani and pedi! She does whatever design I ask her to do. She always makes sure that I love the design, color, and length. Her work is clean and speaks for itself. She is super nice and easy to work with. I look forward to my appointments with her. Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

I've had amazing service every time I've been here! I've been coming for a while now and must say as much as I want to keep her all for myself Ira does amazing work! Highly recommend going to her. Her attention to detail is highly appreciated. Salon is always clean and everyone is friendly. There's no weird tension between coworkers as is noticeable in some other places. I believe they do walk Ins but an appointment is always the preferred way so you don't end up waiting too long. You can even call to clarify about availability before showing up. There's always plenty of parking in the lot and if not there's always street parking as well! A must try if you're looking for a new spot. read more

They did an amazing job with my nails and toenails! It's a great environment with a really sweet staff. read more

Staff was very nice and the nails turned out good but my friends pinky nail popped off the same day she had GelX . I'm not sure what happened, but it popped off and we couldn't go back because the location is not near us. It was very expensive $100 before tip for a set of gel X with no design. read more

Absolutely obsessed with this salon! Irina is an artist when it comes to Russian manicures -- clean, detailed, and always flawless. I get so many compliments on my nails. Ann gives the most perfect gel pedicures -- super neat, long-lasting, and done with so much care. The salon itself is spotless and relaxing. 10/10 recommend treating yourself here. I've never had an issue with scheduling or waiting, and I look forward to all of my appointments! read more

Cute, clean, cozy salon. I walked in for a regular pedicure and was instantly helped. My service was done quickly and thoroughly, I believe my techs name was Ann and she was great. I personally loved the silent appointment as I prefer to just be on my phone and relax. The calf and foot massage she gave was super relaxing as well! My toes look pristine. Only $40 for a regular pedicure which felt like fair pricing. I will be back and would recommend trying Nail Secrets! read more

This is my first time trying gel act on my first time going to a professional nail salon in more than a decade. This place did not disappoint. I wouldn't say that the employees were the friendliest, but they were professional and polite and plus I don't really like to talk a lot during my appointments. I will say, though that the woman who did my nails was incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly honest and was very gentle about her suggestions. I took all of her suggestions as she was the professional and I figured that she would know best and boy was I right. I love my nails. They're absolutely beautiful. Super strong and they've lasted easily a month. read more

I had a wonderful experience here!

It was my first time getting a pedicure. I first went in wanting a Russian pedicure not knowing what it actually was. But the kind lady informed me that the Russian pedicure is for someone who has thicker skin where they take the drill and remove (I'm guessing) like dead skin from the foot. And since I don't have thick skin on my feet she told me she would give me a regular pedicure. And I really appreciate the honestly! I also wanted French tip and the lady who was doing my pedicure before suggested I do gel so it lasts longer, so I did. And I just wanna emphasize how much effort both of the wonderful ladies doing my pedicure were putting. They both did an amazing job. I also appreciate how when she was doing my toe nails she kept asking me if I liked the shade, how the French tip looked, and if she was hurting me (which she wasn't). All of that made me feel like she takes everything into consideration which ultimately led me to having a great experience. So thank you so much! What I paid for a regular pedicure (I think since they still filed my nails with a drill; I don't know if they do that with regular pedicures since again it's my first time) with gel French tip was $80 incase anyone was wondering. read more

Year after update Still going to Irina , still love my pedicures. She does a great job and just how I like it. I like this little neighborhood salon. It's nice and quiet and always welcoming. PS. For people who complain about talkativeness of the staff. You don't go for conversations you go for service and they are great at that. Although I always have a great convo with my lovely Irina. read more

Great hours and immediate response. Checked their worked and made sure the services were done right.

Profit-oriented business owner with maximum regard to ONLY rushing through services rather than creating customer oriented environment. The workstations are consistently covered in nail dust, and when you politely ask for a sanitizing wipe to clean your own seat, you're met with arrogance and a clear lack of respect for basic cleanliness. The owner seems more focused on profit than anything. read more

Nail Secrets has been my go to salon for years now. Everyone is very professional and courteous. Angie is very accommodating, even to my last minute requests due to my work. I also went here to get my bridal nails done with my mom and sisters! Here's a photo of my most recent manicure which Angie had to imitate from a photo at the request of the client I was working with (for a commercial) and the client was so happy with it! The vibe is also really nice and chill and friendly. I highly recommend! read more

My new go-to nail salon. My nails always look great and feel so clean! I have also gotten my eyebrows waxed here, and Ann does an amazing job. Ann is probably the only person I have ever let give me a pedicure more than once. She does exactly as I request, and I appreciate that so much. I really hate people touching my feet because I am so ticklish, and Ann has respectfully not massaged my feet, but thoroughly cleans my feet and gives me the quickest pedicure I ever get each time I go. I SO appreciate her service! And even with the speed, my pedicure is always great! My manicures are also wonderful. Ann is thorough and efficient. Overall, I love going here to see Ann because I am in and out in less than an hour when I get a mani/pedi. Ann is great! read more

Sel is THE ABSOLUTE BEST NAIL TECH IN LA. She is an artist. Before I met Sel, other nail techs would inwardly groan when I wanted to do fun manis, she lit up with joy the first time I worked with her. A truly kind soul whose become a dear friend-- and brings SO much joy to my life with our monthly manicure!!! I mean LOOK AT THIS RANGE, these are ALL original designs! And they last for 3 weeks+. My nails are so healthy after working with Sel over the last year and a half. Don't walk, run to her next appointment! She is a gem of a human. read more

I don't usually take day offs, but when I do, I need to do something I can only do during the week. Everyone near my vicinity was BOOKED or CLOSED on a Monday. I called Nail Secrets right after my clinical appointment and just by chance, Angie took me within two hours of calling. Let me start by saying, I have never done gel x nails, nor do I get my nails done in general. At first the process was long. I showed Rose what I wanted but she did much better than the reference I had shown her. The process was a little uncomfortable; but Rose made it easy and entertained me the whole time. I really liked how my nails turned out, but the pain after was unbearable (this is my first time) . I was very close to getting my nails removed the next day. But after convincing from friends, I realized that maybe I should keep it to give it a try for a few more days. As I'm typing this, I don't regret getting them anymore. They look beautiful on me and I should've been patient with the process. The pain was really only temporary (lasted one whole day) since this is new to me. I plan to come back and would like to thank Angie and Rose for taking me in last minute. read more

I have not been to this nail salon since I was turned off many years ago by the person who owned it. As it now has great reviews, we decided to try it and found it was under new ownership as of around 6 years ago. (Even took hubby for his first mani pedi! They were kind lol). My nails need desperate attention and my technician was Erya (I apologize if I have spelled it wrong) and hubby had Ann. Both were so nice and gave us great service. We will be back, glad to have a good place in the neighborhood. Reasonably priced in line with many of the other large salons. read more

I've been to Sel and she's always great. She's very precise, clean, creative detail oriented and definitely knows everything NAIL. I'm sure everyone else is great after looking at the pics on Yelp and IG! This nail salon is also at an amazing location since there's yummy food spots walking distance. read more

I did gel manicures 3 days ago and it's broken already. First of all I called them before I went there and they told me deferent price then what they charged me. They told me $40 but they charged me $60 at the end. I didn't even do acrylic. So I am not planning to do my nails twice a week. Check my pictures below and you make the decision. I would never recommend anyone to go this place for nails. They charge so much but the work is ridiculous. read more

I went to Nail Secrets for the first time 5 weeks ago and my gel manicure chipped for the first time yesterday. This is the longest lasting manicure I've ever had. I got a gel pedicure at the same time and it still looks like new. I decided to try them after I'd finally had enough with another local nail salon cutting my fingers to shreds despite me asking them not to cut my cuticles too much. And the gel chipping within a week. This place is clean and professional. The cost is definitely higher but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". I have to get in the mode of making appointments because this isn't a place with a ton of techs where you can just walk in. Highly recommend. read more

This was a great nail experience. I couldn't find a last minute appointment with any Silver Lake area salon for art and gel. Yelp gave Nail Secrets a decent review. Glendale is not close but to be honest, it is always on the way to or from something. So I took a chance. Sel was precise and got it. She studied art and understands color and design. Fabulous nails, great conversation. I will be back. read more
