Wow, I'm so impressed with this salon! I hadn't had a pedicure in a while and was looking for a new…read moreplace specifically for pedicures, since I already have another salon where I get my Gel-X nails done. First of all, the staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. I had such an amazing pedicure experience. Their pedicures include a Russian-style pedicure, so they really take the time to thoroughly clean and perfect the nails. The attention to detail was amazing, and nothing felt rushed. I had Milena, and she was wonderful. She did such a thorough job, and my feet have honestly never looked better! She took her time and made sure everything looked perfect. The whole experience was relaxing and pleasant. I even enjoyed some coffee while getting my pedicure, which was such a nice touch. This will definitely be my new go-to salon for pedicures. Everyone was so kind and professional, and I'm already looking forward to coming back. I'm sure they do a wonderful job on hands as well, but I'll primarily be coming here for pedicures! Highly recommend!

Good experience, accommodating staff, and cute salon!…read more Overall, I had a good experience at Ultimate Nail Bar! I came in for a Gel-X set and a pedicure, and although I was pretty indecisive about what I wanted, the staff were patient, accommodating, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. I usually stick to my signature Bubble Bath shade and neutral colors, but I wanted to try something a little more fun for fall. Since I haven't worn color on my nails in a long time, I was all over the place trying to figure out what I wanted. We tried on a few shades, and when none of them felt right, they brought out multiple color books and design options for me to look through. I really appreciated that! They didn't make me feel rushed or like I was being difficult, and they offered their personal recommendations to help me decide. I ultimately went with a neutral shade and a little sparkle overlay. Looking back, I probably would have skipped the sparkle, but that's entirely on me because I was indecisive and should have trusted my instincts! The nail tech did a good job, and my nails still look nice. My only personal preference is that I like a slightly wider nail shape, as I felt mine were filed a little narrower than I usually wear. The service moved pretty quickly, so I didn't speak up about it in the moment, but that's something I'll communicate next time. I also appreciated the first-time customer promotion, which took $10 off each service. The pricing was reasonable compared with other salons in the area, although some add-ons can definitely increase the total. For my pedicure, I opted for regular polish instead of gel after discussing the additional cost of repairing a broken toenail. I was initially confused about why the repair would require gel polish, but the staff explained their reasoning, and they were understanding when I decided to keep things simple. I hadn't gotten regular polish on my toes in years, but sometimes you have to make the practical choice! The salon itself is clean, cute, and thoughtfully designed. I love the minimal aesthetic with just enough feminine touches to make it feel inviting. All in all, I think they do good work, the staff are accommodating, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Would I return? Absolutely. I'll just come in with a clearer idea of what I want and communicate my nail shape preferences upfront next time. Definitely worth considering if you're looking for a cute, clean nail salon in the area!

I have never written a 1 star review before but my nails were absolutely butchered at Soak Nails. I…read morehave had perhaps 3 manicures in my life, none of them good, but this one is, by far, the worst I have had. All I wanted was for them to be filed and shaped to the same length as the shortest nail. I specifically said - "I want them to look the same shape as they do now, but all as short as the shortest nail." I had long nails when I walked in. One had recently broken halfway down (so still somewhat long). I was busy talking to my friend while she was working, and when I looked over, this is what my first hand looked like. Nails - gone! She didn't clean under them, she didn't buff them, they're not even the same length! WTF?!? I have no idea why I let her do the second hand. When I went to pay, I told the guy at the front desk that I've never had anyone butcher my nails like this. He looked at them and apologized, gave me $15 off. So I paid someone $10 to have them basically cut off my nails completely, unevenly, not buff them... they look like man's nails now. I'm not even complaining that they didn't have massage chairs, that she made me reach over one hand to the other side even though she could have moved herself to the other side of me (it was empty), or that she didn't buff them when they were "done". I just wanted out of there. The desk guy said that when I come back, he'll make sure she isn't the one who would serve me. Ha! "When" I come back... like that's gonna happen. Do. Not. Go. Here.

Nice little place off Ventura for gel mani-pedis. My manicurist was SO fast. Great cuticle work and…read moredone in under 25 minutes. My only complaint was there was a big bubble on one of my thumbs that I didn't notice before I left (though I'm sure they would have fixed it if I had gone back). It's no frills - no hand or foot massage, no fancy massage chairs, but the work was good, the chairs are comfy and most importantly they use sanitized tools. Parking and entrance is behind the building. You can book online which I love, but if you're booking both a mani and a pedi, the lovely lady at the desk suggested calling so they can get the appointments back to back. One call out: they do take credit cards but charge a fee unless you want to pay via Zelle or Venmo.

After my morning Russian Manicure with Anna, I told Kayley, who did a wonderful pedicure, that my…read moreleft pinky finger was sore. She said it just might be a little irritated from the drill. In the late afternoon, around 5:30pm it started to hurt and had a 'burning' sensation. I called Diane and sent her a photo. She was amenable to reimbursing me for my mani-pedi, which I appreciate. Anna, the Manicurist, seemed to be preoccupied and flustered this morning. The tray she worked at flipped over and all her tools fell on the floor. She was also talking to someone in Russian on her ear pods while doing my manicure. This is what happened to at Tintin Nails when the owner was too busy making appointments while doing my mancure and cut in to my right finger cuticle, causing pain and swelling. Does anyone know of a nail salon whose technicians are not multi-tasking while providing a service? Kayley was amazing, always checking with me if she was hurting me or if I was OK. I highly recommend her for a pedicure.

Unfortunately, I had the same experience as Isa S. with Tim, gaslighting me and not accepting…read moreresponsibility for cutting the skin on my right ring finger cuticle several times. I dropped by the day before my scheduled appointment with Nancy, who is gentle and wonderful, to see if by chance there were any available technicIans, as I was in the area. I made it clear, that if not, I would simply come back the next day. He proceeded to ask me to take a seat at one of the chairs. Moon came right over and started my pedIcure, which was excellent! Then, after 5 minutes, Tim came over and started my manicure. He was constantly on his cell phone via his ear pods, making appointments with customers and not focusing on my manicure, especially cutting the cuticle skin. When I got home, my finger was throbbing, sore, swollen and red. I texted TIm. He said he was sorry I was in pain, and if there was puss coming out, to seek medical care! We were leaving on vacation in one day. I had to apply neosporin and a bandage for 4 days before it healed completely. When I texted him again that it affected my enjoyment of water amenities at the hotel he replied, "He did his best to accommodate me and recommended coming at my scheduled appointment next time so we can make sure the appropriate technician can have enough time reserved for your service!" Is this how a business owner creates customer loyalty and trust?

I was unhappy with the work because the young…read moretattooed lady would give me attitude every time I asked her to match the picture I was referencing. I left very very unhappy with my birthday nails. And the man in the front offered to take my nails off and not charge me but it was an 2 hours of my day on my day off. Would not recommend anyone to come here. These look like thick chiclets with a lot of glue in the back and the last picture is what I asked for- square with rounded tips ******** Regarding your response: i asked to shorten the nails after i repeatedly asked her to try and match the shape and not make my nails too wide. She responded with a horrible attitude each time i asked so i gave up and asked her to just please cut them shorter in efforts to not have them be extra long and so wide. The attitude the entire session made this such an unfortunate experience. And then the attitude from the male manager at the end was rude too. No offer to fix or help. Just rude offer to remove 2 hours of work. This is my only day off- to simply have to take all this work off is a waste of my time. Also a little glue is ok I'm sure. But I'm have gel X before, my nails are glued to the back of my fingers and it's extremely thick. Over all just bad service, no real care.

DESIREE IS A TRUE ARTIST!…read more This was my first time at the salon and I have to say that I'm now a fan! I saw Desiree for a full set (gel x) and a pedi. She is gentle, detailed and a true artist! I was lucky enough to sit next to her other client who had a beach themed set of nails that was so creative and fun! Desiree made me feel comfortable and right at home with her kindness and hospitality. She even made me a special tea with orange peels and honey. I love my pedi and my mani is totally unique and beautiful. She spent time doing nail art in cat eye paint and then put a chrome over it. The effect is very subtle and unusual in a good way. I'll definitely be back and will tell friends about this salon right next door to Sherman Oaks (fraction of the price) and Latina owned too! :)) This is exactly the type of small business I want to support. They're doing excellent work and it's family owned and operated, which feels warm and friendly, not stiff and corporate.
