    Reviews With Photos - Nail Studio by Andrew

    The sides of my nail and the top do not look like the last time my nails were done.
    Diana M.

    I was told to come in today at 8:45a (Saturday) and was happy to. Last time May did my nails and I was absolutely satisfied. This time Jenny did my nails and she was rushed from the time she sat down at my station all the way to the end of doing my nails. She didn't wait for the lights to go off when my nails were under the LED nail lamp for each step in the process. The sides of my nails look rugged (pics) and she didn't say anything when she was done and got up to rush to the next customer. I like this shop and want to come back. But I need my nails done right. RESPONSE TO JENNY: With all due respect, I did make it known. You left the table. I schedule my nail appointments for a certain time, so I won't be able to come back until my next fill. I'll be sure to ask for May.

    As a loyal customer since 2019; I cannot praise all these hard working technicians enough. The wonderful owner Jenny always accommodates my requests leaving my nails exceptionally beautiful, of course I cannot forget the lovely Julie for taking care of my pedicures since the shop opened. I've referred countless of family and friends, they have all been satisfied and understand why I keep coming back. I admire the staff's professionalism and making me feel welcomed soon as I step in the door. That being said, long as the salon is in business I cannot image visiting anywhere else. Forever grateful for Nail Studio.

    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.

    Miranda R.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    Ask the Community - Nail Studio by Andrew

    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… 

    Can I make appointments?

    yes, you can call them to make an appointment. That is highly recommended if you do not want to wait.

    Is the shop open now?

    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 is it for a pedicure?

    Our pedicure start at $16 for a quickie $21 for a signature $40 for a deluxe

    How much is for dip powder?

    Hi Mary, our dip powder is 35$ and if you want to add on tips to extend your nails, it will be a 5$ add on.

    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.

    Hi, Do you offer dip nail services?

    Yes, we do offer dip powder

    I've been here twice now and had to write a review. The ladies here are all friendly and…read moreprofessional. Clearly their products are top of the line, in the past when I got gel on my nails a week tops before it started to peel. This picture is of a three week old service. Actually headed to the shop now. It only peeled in one nail and that's cause I chipped my nail. That tells me the previous shops I went to must've watered down the product to stretch. Based on the quality alone they have made a permanent customer out of me! Can't forget the music is always a vibe.

    I came in for a simple color change on my toes. As soon as I walked in, I greeted the woman sitting…read moreat a station. Instead of a greeting back, the first thing she said was, "Can you close the door because the air is on?" There was no "Hi, how are you?" or even a polite request. It immediately set the tone for the visit. When she finally asked how she could help me, I told her I was there for a color change. She looked around, sighed, and said, "We're not gonna have time for you today." I paused, expecting her to offer another appointment or suggest another time, but instead it just felt like, "We can't help you." I said, "No problem," and started walking out. An employee (who I believe was her assistant) ran after me and told me another customer had offered to let me go ahead since my service was something simple. I honestly hesitated because of the owner's attitude, but I wanted to give a black owned business the benefit of the doubt, so I came back. I thanked the customer who let me go ahead, but the owner never acknowledged me. Even something as simple as, "It's been really busy today, but we appreciate you and we'll be with you shortly," would have gone a long way. When it was finally my turn, I sat down and the owner asked, "You're just getting a color change, right?" I said yes, and she didn't say another word. It honestly felt like she still didn't want to service me but was doing so because I was already there. A little while later she yelled across to me, "Hey, blue shirt... what's your name?" After I told her, she said that from her angle it looked like I had my leg resting on the technician and that her client didn't want to turn around. It was awkward, but I laughed it off and once again tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, figuring maybe she was just someone who was a little rough around the edges. After my service was finished, I went to pay. The technician asked if it was my first time there. When I said yes, she then informed me there was a $10 fee because they had to remove someone else's polish. The "removal" was simply sanding off my previous color. My issue wasn't even the fee--it was that it wasn't disclosed before the service started. Any additional charges should be communicated upfront so customers can decide whether they'd like to proceed. So I ended up paying $30 for a simple color changed when I could've just waited and got a pedicure at that point. The final straw was leaving the salon without so much as a "Thank you," "Have a great day," or "We appreciate your business." The owner said absolutely nothing. While I was there, I also watched other customers come in asking for pedicures. They received the same short, dismissive responses and were simply turned away. As they walked out, the owner called after them, "Keep us in mind." Honestly, that's difficult to do when customers aren't greeted warmly, prices aren't fully explained beforehand, and there doesn't seem to be much effort to make people feel welcome. The salon itself is nice, but customer service matters just as much as the quality of the work. A little kindness, professionalism, and clear communication go a long way in building loyal customers. Unfortunately, because of how I was treated, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience. I hope this brings awareness to the owner and no one else has to go through this experience

    Edit: Here is some updated information after receiving the response below from the owner. It was…read morestated that my service began at 5:45pm. That was around the time when the nail tech walked over to me for the first time to ask if I had chosen a color, not when my feet were in the water or when I was receiving the service, as I stated. She also walked away after the initial contact and returned a couple times, throwing supplies on her cart before proceeding. Regardless of that, my Zelle payment for tip was also confirmed at 6:54pm. So I do want to acknowledge that my time there was about an hour and a half total from my arrival/ appointment time. There was also not a "light residue" of the scrub left, there was literal exfoliating pieces/ beads and cream that I was able to scrape off my leg with my fingernail. There is no need to note my preferences as I will not be going back. If I had known that later appointments were known to be thrown off schedule, I would've just showed up late so I didn't have to wait. There was no update or follow up. While I understand it is the business owners responsibility to ensure all reviews are accurate, the repeated attempt to disprove what I stated was unnecessary when the issue still stands: my appointment time was not honored, i had literal pieces of scrub and gel on my leg, and someone used a cuticle cutter to PULL pieces of my toenail off without asking me. I understand these services are a luxury; I would not come in expecting to be waited on but I do expect basic communication and respect. The service and response were both disappointing.
