Tortoise shell!
Kellie G.

Jolene is A PRO!!!!!! I seriously am so thankful that I found her. She is the most incredible nail artist, and it is always so much fun to have an appointment with her, because she is also great to talk to. I have been seeing Jolene for about a year, and every time, I have left blown away by my incredible nails. People always ask me about my nails, and look forward to see the amazing art and fun designs on them. Jolene uses the best products out there, and that paired with her master skills means that my gel nails last 4-5 weeks without ever chipping. I highly recommend her to all of my friends and family - especially if you are tired of being frustrated by inconsistency at your regular nail shop. So much love for Jolene!!!!

My nails are Uneven, Ruff and Sharp around the edges. Not worth $65.
I'm Talking B.

I really wanted to like Jolene, I really do. People on Yelp gave her 4 stars. When I called she claims she uses "Japanese" products thats high quality that will last longer but that's NOT what I witnessed. I came in to get a fill on "hard gel" nails. The cost was $65, while other places charge around $35. Hard gel is similar to acyclic, the procedure is the same. File the nail, put on anti-fungal, shaping the nails and paint. Jolene, filed my nails, Did Not put the anti-fungal on my nails. Apply Gelish gel base (NOT a Japanese Brand), sculpture my nails with IBD gel (NOT a Japanese Brand). However the top coat "Vetro" was the only thing she used that was a Japanese brand. Vetro as a top coat only helps keeps the shine and from discoloration. After an hour, My nails are Uneven, Sharp and Ruff around the edges. Update: In responses to Jolene's comment. IF I did come in with a botch job as you claimed (Which I didn't. The sides of my nails was filed in due to what's called "Fan Nails", shouldn't my nails be better looking when you were done with my nails? You had all the tools and experience to fix it. No? Yet, I left with uneven nails all around with sharp edges. Which I had to re-file once I got home. Look at the picture for yourself... again. Proof is in the picture. I asked you to shorten the length and that what I got. That's your doing. I called twice over the phone and both times you stated the reason why you charge so much is because, you use Japanese Brand products, "that's why it last longer and doesn't lift". And now you say you can use ALL Japanese brand but will have to charge accordingly!?!?! So..... $65 for one coat of nail polish?? Let's say I did come back, I won't but let's pretend I did, what's my total? $195? One layer each of base coat, color and top coat = 3x65=$195 lol Yeah.No.Thanks. I'll stick to the cheaper places that charges $35. For that price I can get a fill and a fresh color every week.

Disney themed nails for the perfect Disney vacay

Simply the best. The best artwork, very high quality polish, any and all nail embellishments you can think of, and to top it off she's the best human. I look forward to my bi-weekly appointments. It feels like visiting a friend who also knows how to paint nails. I'm so spoiled by the incredible artwork that I don't think I could go back to solid nails ever again.

Left hand - design she did on her own. She asked if she could try something fun on me and this was my FAVORITE design I've ever seen

I was recommended to Jolene from a friend because I always loved her nails. My nails have NEVER been healthier and stronger since I started going to her. I was trying so many nail artists and salons for the past couple of years and their techniques would either ruin my nails or the gel polish would peel. But with Jolene, my nails last all the way til my next appointment. Her nail art skills are some of the best I've seen. If I bring a design inspiration in, she does it perfectly. Lately I just let her do her thing because I trust her. Some stuff you just can't find on Pinterest. The paraffin waxes, leg massages, and masks are sooo soothing too. My favorite is the charcoal mask. I love that she does gel pedicures too because some salons don't offer that service. Those last like 5-6 weeks and still don't chip. They actually helped protect my toenails from chipping from tight boots! I drive from Marina Del Rey every couple weeks just to see her! She's definitely the best in the area

Love my Christmas Grinch nails

Jole is amazing really Good at the Way she Makes Art out of Nails always impresses me even when she free style's my nails she Blows my mind every time she truly has a passion for her Job which makes it even so much more better because her customer service is excellent the location where she is located awesome there is always parking Pricing is excellent very clean location.

Jolene did a fun manicure inspired by Pokemon!
Halli S.

I have been going to Jolene for a little over a year now and I'm always super happy with my service. I was so excited for her to hear that she opened her own shop! Jolene is meticulous and takes her time to make sure that your nails always come out flawless. She is extremely skilled and nail art and can replicate pretty much any inspiration photo you bring in. She's also very creative and can make suggestions for you. Usually I come in with a vague idea of what I want and a color palette and Jolene always has the best suggestions for me! Since I met Jolene I haven't let anyone else touch my nails! Her gel application lasts and lasts and if my nails didn't grow out so fast I swear they would never chip. I usually go every 2 or 3 weeks. Her new shop is super cute! It's located inside the Platino Salon complex. There's a receptionist inside so you can just go in and ask for her and the receptionist will show you to Jolene's room! Jolene picked out some amazing products to carry in her new shop. She has the latest colors for OPI and Presto gel polish. She also mixes some pretty fantastic pedicures. I love the cucumber one, and I'm excited to try the charcoal and the pina colada next time!

Vetro Gel for the win!
Justine V.

Yes, yes, yes! Jo is a nail goddess who's been hooking me up with super cute, lasting nails! She is super creative and always works her magic. If your indecisive with picking polish or art, she always knows what to do! Nails come out flawless . So excited for her to branch of on her own to a spot located in the Platino Salon her space is cute and gives you more of a one on one style mani pedi. Intimate in a good way where you have a little more privacy which I enjoy. If you're in the OC and want quality nails, she is the nail guru you need to pay a visit too. Stop reading and make an appointment already! You're nails will thank you! I promise!

Elissa G.

One of my best friends has been a long time client of jo! And I finally had a chance to go see her starting last October and let me tell you!!! Jole is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! She is so creative, very artistic. She's the only one now that I trust doing my nails! Love her so much!

Nail designs

Jole is great! Her products and color selection are top notch. I love her creativity and willingness to do any custom design you want. My nails are so much healthier since I started seeing Jole a year ago.

Bridget C.

Jo has been doing my nails for over 2 years now and has set the bar super high. No one else can compare to the perfect acrylic sets that she does. Not only are her full sets amazing, but she can also do any type of nail art you can think of and is very creative. I am very picky about my nails and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do them. Jo is the best and does the best work!

Nail art

You must go to her! This was my first time getting nail art and I absolutely love it! She was so friendly and creative!

Abby C.

I love Jolene! My nails are always perfect and I get a lot of compliments for the original nail art and color combinations. Going to her is worth the drive. The salon is very clean and Jolene and her staff make you feel special as soon as you walk in. I would never go anywhere else for my nails. I highly recommend going to her.

Amazing service! Lyn did my gel builder nails, and they look fabulous! Everybody there is super…read morefriendly, talented, and careful. I continue to go back!

I really wanted to like this salon, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing…read more When I made my appointment, we specifically requested two technicians--one for my manicure and one for my pedicure--because we were on a tight schedule. We were assured that wouldn't be a problem and were told another technician would be back from lunch shortly. That person never came back, so I ended up waiting until another technician finished someone else's pedicure before she could start mine, which defeated the purpose of booking both services at the same time. During my manicure, the owner (or manager) seemed to be rushing through the service. When I politely pointed out a few issues with the shape and some imperfections, she didn't seem happy about the feedback, which made the experience uncomfortable. As a paying customer, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect attention to detail, especially when getting acrylic tips, builder gel, and gel polish. To make matters worse, it's only been one week and one of my nails has already chipped. With the services I paid for, I expected my manicure to last much longer than that. Overall, I left disappointed with both the service and the quality of the work. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this nail salon.

My usual nail spot was fully booked and didn't have availability so I came here because on their menu they offered presto. They have presto for gel color but it's not the thick one that is typically used at Japanese salons - I should've inquired about this when making my appointment. My nail technician Paula was very aggressive with drilling off my existing gel; I had to ask her to slow down several times because my nails were getting hot. She also did not soak my nails at all which I thought was unusual for gel removal. After my gel was completely drilled off she proceeded to apply an acrylic overlay to my nails (a service I didn't ask for) she told me that it was because my nails were "too thin for gel" - this was when I was informed that they don't have the presto gel base coat that is used at my other salon. I asked for simple sheer gel (they don't have sheer presto colors) with white French tip in the deep curve style (pictured below) and it came out really uneven and the sides of my nails were really messy. They also used some off brand top coat and told me they didn't have OPI or presto top coats which is weird considering they charge extra for presto or OPI but do not have all the necessary products to use them for the entirety of the service. In total this cost $57 without tip which I think is reasonable but I would honestly rather pay more to get what I act Other things: They offer 10% off if you pay with cash. They charge $5 for cutting down your existing, in my case natural nails

I always ask for Mimi she gives a great pedicure but all of the girls are great. June did my pedicare yesterday and it looks great.

I'm honestly so upset writing this, but people should know what to expect here…read more I've been coming to this nail shop for a while and usually see Katelyn, who I absolutely love. Unfortunately, she wasn't available today, so I was assigned to someone else. I went in with a very simple plan: remove my current gel builder set and get a basic manicure with cuticle cleanup. I was very clear that I'm coming back in two weeks (for my baby shower, which I mentioned multiple times) to get a fresh gel builder set with Katelyn. Today, I was completely fine leaving with bare, natural nails. During the service, the nail tech asked if I wanted a clear coat. I said sure. Then she mentioned she would apply a thin layer of gel builder "just to keep my nails strong" until I come back. The way it was presented sounded like a small courtesy, not an added service--so at no point did I think I was agreeing to an extra $50 charge. I get to the register and my total is $70. $20 for a manicure... and $50 for gel builder. I was completely blindsided. If I had known I was being charged for gel builder, why would I agree to a THIN, clear layer with no color? That makes zero sense, especially when I specifically said I'd be coming back for a full set in two weeks. I felt genuinely misled. When I questioned it, I was told it was because the tech applied gel builder. I explained that I had clearly asked for just a manicure before being seated, and no one mentioned any additional costs at any point. They apologized and took off $20 plus 15%, but I still ended up paying $50 for something I didn't ask for and didn't want. At that point, I felt so uncomfortable and frustrated that I just paid and left. But honestly, the damage was done. This completely ruined my trust. Why would I come back in two weeks (or ever) when I've basically already paid for a service I didn't even want? I'm really disappointed because I loved coming here and it's so close to home, but the lack of transparency and communication today was unacceptable. Please be very careful and ask about every single charge before agreeing to anything here. Better yet, just don't come here at all.
