    May gives the best massages EVER I love this place wish I can give them 100 stars
    Ale R.

    Wish I can give them more than 5 stars .Once again these ladies delivered,Mindy did an amazing job with my nails and May gives the best pedicure and that massage is amazing , See you guys next year

    bruh-

    Friendly- not the cleanest- My daughter's nails came out beautiful . Mine on the other hand, are lumpy bumpy and just not it. The lady's hand was shaking. Hope she's ok. I won't be back to her. I'll go to the other lady who did my daughter's. Hers came out amazing. Mine have literal bubbles and bumps. Thank you for your response. I don't have much time off so I'll see you for my next one.

    Horrible service, it's such a shame too because I've always had great experiences here. I made an appointment 2 weeks in advance all for them to rush our appointment and do such a bad job. The older man that did my nails didn't even want to do enough coats to make the color show, my nails came out all bumpy and misshapen. My sister wasn't happy at all with her nails either for the same reasons! I'm never going back because I'm so disappointed, even after telling them how I was getting my nails done for my Hawaii trip. All they cared about were the girls getting acrylics done.

    Hi Jenny, How is that a valid response from everything I mentioned? To be clear, there was no polish change. It's evident that you don't care about the horrible experience that I had at your salon. There is no apology nor accountability in your response. I was left with multiple cuts and I did not see the nail tech take any sanitary precautions. Your response or lack there of is concerning.

    This nail tech will mess up your nails and tell you if you don't like it go somewhere else.

    The manager's reply to my review above further demonstrates the poor experience. You dropped what you were doing and never ever asked what was the conversation that led to him saying that, although I directly told you what he said. Your response was "well what do you want me to do." No suggestion, no forward thought, it was impatient "get to the point" energy. Further, the owner (having not spoke to the nail tech whatsoever) made excuses for why he did what he did, saying he did it to make my other nails even when none of those nails were close to that length. You defended his poor behavior with further poor behavior. My review stands that there are better shops to go to in this area, specifically where no one basically tells you to get out when they made a horrendous avoidable mistake. No accountability from leadership as you continue to make excuses for a poor experience in your place of business. I had to put fake nails on, which I never ever wear. And as you "fixed" his mistake, you passive aggressively tried to educate me about my nails as if I'm not a 38 year old woman who has been getting my nails done since I was a teenager. You eavesdropped on a conversation I was having with my cousin about Gel Builder and used that convo to seemingly blame me and deflect your employee filing away all of my natural nails rather than just accept total responsibility. You're loud and wrong, with employee that lacks the emotional and professional maturity to handle criticism of his work. I didn't cause any problems in your shop, I told you what the issues were and you agreed to fix them, blaming the person who wasn't holding a nail file shows that the owner lacks the same professional maturity. And then they charged me full price for the work. Watch your cameras before you blindly spew out responses to protect your Yelp image.

    It was so terrible I had to go to Sally's to get my own kit to fix/so what she didn't
    Michelle M.

    It looks clean, that why I gave it one star and I did go back to fix my fingernails so another star because they fixed her mistakes. The lady was super tough with my hands, terrible job overall, wanted to charge me extra for the basics stuff the were included. Thankfully I read their price page and I told her it's Included. They used a chemical that made my hands/nails burn to remove gel. No massage not even a rub of hands or feet. She but my nails terrible they are super sharp. I had to come to Sally's to pick up manicure kit to fix her job. And because I don't like to be a Karen I paid $50 no tip.

    Finally my turn after waiting 30 mins even though I had an apt

    I made an appointment for 6pm. It's 6:20pm and I'm writing this review for something to do because I am bored and tired of waiting. I feel disrespected when people waste my time. At Nail Studio by Andrew, my time has been wasted despite making an appointment a week in advance. What's the point of appointments if you're going to treat customers like they just walked in? Don't make appointments if you cannot honor them. My appointment was only for a pedicure. Anyone who disrespects my time in the way that this place has does not deserve my business. I do not recommend this place and I am never coming back here again. They haven't even checked in on me to update me if it's almost my turn or not. I'd expect them to let me know how much longer I need to wait, but since sitting me at the pedicure chair, no one has said anything and I've been waiting for 26 minutes now. I'm lying. I've been waiting for 36 minutes because I arrived 10 minutes early. If you're on time, you're late. When it was finally my turn, after waiting 30 mins, the nail tech did say, "thank you for waiting". Unfortunately, the damage was done and I will not be tipping, for I do not want to reinforce this type of disrespect.

    Lifting nails
    Jermaura W.

    If I could give this place negative stars I would. I went here because my son's daycare teacher recommended a certain person for a pedicure and I was like ok and tried them. The first time I enjoyed my pedicure and so much I made a second appointment. Now the second time is what really rubbed me the wrong way. I ended up having to get a full set because I was going to a concert and didn't have time to do my press on's so my appointment was on Thursday and I went in showed her the pic of my nails and asked if they could do the design and added the full set to my appointment. She said yes and mad my appointment at 9:30 am instead of 11 and I was like ok that's fine. So I go to the appointment I get my nails and pedicure done, I have an overlay on my two big twos and I usually just let them grow out and just get regular pedicures, the lady who did my pedicure says she did a fill on my toes and I'm like I didn't ask for that because I didn't need it, now to the owners credit she took off the charge but I was turn off by the overcharge and trying to get paid for a service that was not asked of you at all. Now my nails were fine until later Thursday 6/20/24 the same day I got my nails done my right middle finger nail came off. I was going out of town and just said oh well I will get it fixed when I get to where I'm going. So I get my nail fixed Friday and I just carry than later that day my right pointer finger nails comes off. I'm like this is but much that I look at my had and most of my nails are lifting. At this point I'm really upset don't have time to go to another shop and my nail look horrible. So I get back in town on Monday and came up there to get my refund and forgot they were closed. So I have to come today 6/25/24 and last night another nail came off and pissed me off even more because here we are at 4 days and I have last 4 nails and the rest are lifting minus the one I got fixed. So I go in there and all I want is a refund, my nails were ruined for my event out of town and on top of that I don't trust their work. I feel and told them it's very unprofessional to do sloppy and horrible work and refuse my money back and only tell me they can fix it. I don't want it fixed I want my money back! It would be one thing if I had some chipped polish or 1 nail lifted, but FOUR?! nails and the rest are lifting within three days of getting them done is beyond unacceptable!

    M. A.

    I have read people's reviews who gave 1 star for this nail shop and I couldn't agree with them more. This place is only 0.5 mi away from my house and was recommended to me by my sister. My usual nail tech from another nail shop was on vacation and I needed to have my pedicure done ASAP coz of an ingrown toenail that bothered me a lot, but I also decided to have my manicure done since it was also due. I came as a walk-in customer and the lady who was seating right by the entrance was the one who worked on my manicure. I didn't get to know her name because she already projected a negative vibe on me. She started working on my nails and just basically removed the previous gel nail polish and RUSHED the "cleaning" of my nail. She barely cleaned my nail beds and didn't thoroughly trimmed my cuticles. She didn't take her time at all and after that, she told me wash my hands and then go to one of the pedicure chairs. She didn't complete my manicure and told me that "it'll be done later". I went to the pedicure chair and Moon worked on my pedicure. As she prepped my feet, someone else (she was sitting next to the one who started working on my manicure) came to me and said she'll finish my manicure. I thought that was odd... She was STANDING when she worked on my nails and did another RUSHED job. The polish was unevenly coated on most of my nails. Meanwhile, the tech who was working on my toenails is a better staff - she's friendly and took a little more time on my toenails especially on removing the ingrown toenail that bothered and hurt me for a couple of weeks. She was doing a good job until she NICKED the skin of my left great toe and a little bit from the right great toe! I didn't think of it much since it initially hurt just a bit... But 2 days later, my left great toe is still in pain and the area that was nicked has gotten infected. The area of the cut is red and painful to touch! I'm still trying to mend the wound as I write this review! I do not recommend this place at all. Yes, their regular customers are much more FAVORED than the new ones! I noticed that too! Take a look at the photos I attached with my review and you'll see the rushed job they did on my manicure! I paid nearly $100 (services and tips) on their crappy work! I'll never be coming back to this place!!!

    Clean Restroom
    Dev R.

    Great experience! I got the last parking spot in an apparently busy lot, then got swept into an oasis when I entered the doors. It's a smaller salon, decorated perfectly to enhance the "spa-me" experience. I sat in chairs, mid-salon, until someone became free to do my pedi. Apparently South Carson is in need of a nail salon, as walk-ins wait exorbitant times after those who've made appointments. Once seated in a ped-chair, my experience began. She took good care of my feet. Soak, nails, cuticle, callous removal...Painting could have been smoother. I'd return again--if for nothing but the convenience! Next time though, by appointment!

    Ugh, I've been here 3 times now and each time they impressed me! I always call ahead and try to book an appointment with either Andrew or Mindy. Both of them alwayssssss deliver. Here are the pictures I took of my nails. (Forgot to take a picture of one of the sets I had but still just as good ) Will definitely keep coming back.

    How much are pedicures?

    If you're gonna be a first timer, I suggest not to go there. It won't be worth your monies. Go elsewhere. The pedicure (and manicure) costs' depend on how you want to have your nails done. I paid $40 for mine - "quickie" pedi ($25) plus gel polish… Read more

    Yes.

    How long is the wait?

    It really depends on how many people walk-ins we have at the time. It can range anywhere from 10mins to 1 hour. It would be better if you gave us a call before you come in to get a better quote. 424-342-9299

    How much does a Acrylic Full Set cost? And is the regular or gel polish?

    Hi Kristy. Our Acrylic full set start out at $20 with regular polish. Gel polish will be $10 more on top what you are getting.

    Contenders or Pretenders? I was in the market for a new nail…read moresalon because my previous pedicure extraordinaire was retiring. I visited yelp... per usual... and found this place ( I dare not say the name again in fear of flashbacks) I'd given them a call to see if the accepted walk-ins and the woman I'd spoken with ,overall pleasant , asked me to come in at 2. She called me back a few minutes later and asked if I could come in at 4 instead. I told her that was fine and decided to grab some lunch... Now here comes the foolery ! I pull up to a Strip Mall type location were the parking would be considered risky. Not because of the neighborhood but because of pot holes, no clear parking lanes, and over width of parking lot . You could easily loose a bumper if your not careful. I walked in at exactly my appointment time and was admittedly greeted by name. I played " any, many ' miney, moe" with the seating based on the cleanliness and proceed to scope out the place. Did it need updates for sure but that wasn't a deterrent, I can't imagine how much it cost to replace something every time a client scrapes or nicks something . My concern was dust and dirt and the missing nail license( yes I look for those) the shop didn't quite meet my standards and I wasn't sure if it was because there is a lot of black and white in the salon or if they just didn't make cleaning a priority. After about 5 minutes of scanning the room , buzzing from the nail drill I look at my watch. Nothing... no one coming from the back, no plastic being added to the pedicure bowl or water being ran. 4:10 comes and the phone rings" I hear " ok, ok, how long?" And the phone hangs up. The nail tech turns to me and bodily says " your nail tech is in traffic, she said she'll be here in 30 minutes, ok? ." Some many things ran through my head in that moment... but all I could was say " that's not ok" walked out. What a big waste of my time and the boldness the request more time. So if you can look past the potential of car damages, cleanliness issues, and if you have unlimited time, this salon might contend for your business. As for me and my toes , no thanks ! One last thing- where did all those stars come from? There is no way that many people have little to no standards..N/M ... contend at your own risk
