Once again, Leha did a GREAT job. I going with a general idea and she gets very creative!!!
Katee H.

I found Leha online while in Covid after businesses opened and my nails were looking raggedy. She is a sole proprietor so gives you her full attention. She is funny, engaging and professional. She is a perfectionist about her work and makes sure you leave looking great. Whenever she does my nails, I get numerous compliments. I even get stopped on the street by men and women who notice my nails.

Leha is by far one of the greatest people I've come across. Not only is she skilled in her line of work, but if you take a moment to hear her speak you'll learn she defines the American dream. She is the only employee at the salon which makes it feel like a private experience and helps with my social anxiety. She's also honest with no filter, which is my favorite kind of people. When it comes to her work, Leha is simply a hardworking perfectionist that gets the job done right. My nails were horrible when I first visited Leha, about two and a half years ago. I never even thought about seeing another manicurist since that day. I make it a point to see her every 4 weeks for dip powder. My biggest tip is to make sure to make an appointment, walk ins are welcome but talent like this is rarely free on the spot.

Leha is exactly what the positive reviews say. Engaging, kind, funny, and an amazing manicurist! She listens to what you want, and makes sure to deliver. You won't regret coming here. I was debating keeping her to myself!

Full set using powder dip.  Beautiful!

Leha is phenomenal. As a new resident of the LBC, I found her in a Google search. Her consistently good reviews are not fabricated or exaggerated...she's the real deal! I went in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but she suggested acrylic tips with powder dip. It wasn't cheap ($50), but it was worth every penny. It was my first time ever getting artificial nails, but she did such a great job, one can't tell they're not real (wish I had a before pic). Leha takes her time, so I don't recommend soliciting her services if you're in a rush. She is funny, engaging, and energetic, and gave me one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. She works solo, so I recommend booking at least a week in advance to get in her chair. Can't wait to go back!

Found this little Gem of a place on yelp. Leah works in small little shop. It is just her. She is very sweet and funny little lady. She helps you choose your colors and makes great suggestions. My nails were ugly because i had to take of the old nails i had. But when i came to her she fixed them. I wish i had a before and after. But it was too late when that thought came to mind. She takes her time and is by appt only. Which i greatly appreciate. I will be going back. Thanks Leah.

I live in the Santa Monica area so it's difficult to come here but when I work in the area I make sure I stop by. Leha is very detail oriented and came in on an off day for me. Will definitely continue to come here when I'm in the area.

recently just moved here to long beach all the way from san San Diego. I needed to find my new nail shop since i love getting my nails done, came across this little cute spot on yelp. I called made an appointment with leha and when i walked in i knew this was going to be my new spot. Leha is soo amazing, very funny lady her favorite word when she makes jokes is saying HELLO sarcastically. Felt very comfortable and she did a beautiful job with my nail. LOVE!!!

Thank you Leha! I love my nails! Almond shape, white gel with an airbrush design on my pointer fingers.

I moved to Long Beach a year ago. I always had trouble finding a good nail lady. Most of the time they never get the shape right, or rush through you to get to the next client, or just don't genuinely care. I am an incredibly busy woman, so when I get my manicures and pedicures, it's time for me to relax and enjoy myself! It's my self care time, so it is extremely important to me. Leha has made that time so much more enjoyable. She is so careful in EVERY SINGLE STEP of the process. She's a perfectionist, which I am too, so it's nice that I can trust her. The first time she ever did my nails I just KNEW she would be my official nail lady. I ALWAYS get compliments on my nails. So many people ask me about Leha and for her information because they love my nails. And she is soooo funny! Which makes getting my nails done even more fun. Thank you so much for all you do Leha! You're the best!

Dip on my natural nail
Ciara H.

I love going to Leha's Salon! I have been going to Leha since I first move to Long Beach and refuse to go anywhere else . It's just her in there but she does a great job. She is definitely a perfectionist and will have you walking out of her salon with the nails you want . She is not badly priced since she carries top of the line products . Here's an example of the great work she's done . I usually get dip on my natural nails .

Very thin nice beautiful nails! Thank you:))
Meredith J.

Not only is Leha a sweetheart, she also does incredible nails! Super thin she has an excellent and I for detail I am very very happy!!!!! Love her thank you!

Janelle H.

Leha is delightful and her nail art talent is even better. I have gotten 1.bigillion compliments on my nails. Just see for yourself.

Carina A.

I just moved to long Beach recently and have been to a few nail salons that make the nails really thick and ughhh. But here, she really knows how to make them look natural. She is a sweet and funny woman as well. I enjoyed my experience. I also loved that she has different colors and designs on her own nails. It was great to see the cat eye design on her first. I NEVER leave reviews...but this salon deserves it. Thank you!

Perfect for the holidays!
Kati C.

Update: Still in love with this little gem! Leha does the best job on my nails. She definitely goes above and beyond to work with her clients. Her prices are amazing and she does amazing nail art! Each time I get my nails done they seem to get better and better!

I always come here to get my gel pedicures and I love it! Just make sure to make an appointment…read morebeforehand :) I can't remember the names of the previous people I've gotten but this most recent one, Linda did my gel pedicure. She was amazing and so kind! She kept checking up on me and making sure water temp was fine, my nail shape was fine before putting the polish on, and making sure the polish color was fine before completing my whole pedicure. Overall, I recommend!

Heads up: they're not actually where the address takes you. They're on the corner of 3rd and…read moreMagnolia. I tried to mention this to the guy at the front since their own website also says Broadway, but he informed me that his Google shows the correct location, so I guess that settles that. More importantly, if you can't provide a service, JUST SAY THAT. Don't tell someone you can do it just to get them in the door. I called ahead and specifically asked if they had someone who could do a Halloween nail design. I was told yes. Cut to TWO FULL HOURS later, three different nail techs, and I had exactly one rather bad cheetah-print nail to show for it, which was also the easiest part of the design. At that point, I gave up and asked them to remove it and just put a normal color on instead. The response? An immediate, "Okay, that will be an extra charge!" I genuinely thought she was joking. After I had already spent two hours there because they said they could provide a service they clearly could not, you would think there might be some acknowledgment of the wasted time or even a simple, "We're sorry we couldn't do what we told you we could." Instead, the priority was making sure I knew I'd be charged extra for asking them to put a regular color on my nails after their attempt failed. It wasn't about paying for the polish. It was the complete lack of consideration for my time and zero accountability for promising a service they couldn't deliver. So I left after two hours with completely bare nails. If you can't do something, SAY THAT. I would have happily gone somewhere else. Instead, I wasted two hours because apparently "yes, we can do that" means "we'll give it a shot and see what happens." Thank you for the waste of my time, gas and energy. The girl who helped me the longest was at least nice. That's why there's two stars. Only for her being nice.

Came here to get my nails done for my birthday because I wanted to switch things up from my usual…read moregel manicure, and I'm so glad I did! My nails are naturally short, brittle, and constantly breaking, so I told my manicurist about my struggles and asked what she recommended. She suggested Gel X and took the time to explain the whole process, including how fills work. Honestly, I really appreciated that because I didn't know much about Gel X going in! It was my first time getting Gel X, and Mimi did an amazing job! I showed her an inspo picture, and she totally made it happen. The whole appointment took about 2 hours, but the attention to detail was worth it. For pricing, the Gel X was $60, plus $30 for the nail art/design, so I paid around $90 before tip. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, and overall it felt like a great little birthday treat. I'm definitely coming back for a fill and already know I'll be getting Gel X again. Mimi understood the assignment!

I'm really disappointed with my recent experience. Two days ago, I came in to get my toes done and…read morebrought my daughter for both toes and nails. I had a chipped toenail that I paid an extra $5 to have repaired, but it cracked again the very next day. I called the shop and spoke with a gentleman who was very kind and told me to come in and they would fix it--no problem. I came in at 9 AM before work, expecting a quick repair. Instead, I was met with a completely different experience. The technician made me feel uncomfortable from the start, as if I had done something wrong. Even after showing my receipt, I was asked to wait while she and her coworkers sat and ate. After waiting, she told me it would be another 10 minutes. I explained I had to get to work and that I had already paid full price and tipped $10 just two days prior--I simply needed the repair done. When she finally helped me, the fix felt rushed and careless. She layered on a thick amount of gel, tapped it briefly with a file, and said "OK" without any real care or attention. This was my third time visiting, and unfortunately it will be my last. The lack of professionalism and basic customer service is disappointing. I expected better treatment, especially as a returning customer.

I initially wanted to get a fill and a pedicure. As soon as I walk in everyone is asleep the whole place looks not well kept up but I just really needed a pedicure so I decided to stay just for that I had made an appointment and I didn't want to be rude Defiantly did not trust them with my finger nails The nail tech doing my toes was super sweet and was making sure I was comfortable and did an amazing job on my feet no problem with her The problem was this man I will post photos of him being absolutely disgusting. (The owner) When I was soaking my feet he was in the salon eating nuts licking his fingers walking around barefoot then went to a chair with out washing his hands decides to just pick at his feet in front of me mind you his feet were sooo dirty !! Thennnn grabs a cart and tools that may be used on others customers and keeps picking!!! Also walked by be picking his nose nasty!!! I am still in disbelief and how nonchalant the other workers were like this is normal I paid, didn't even let my nails dry properly because of how much I wanted to get out of there

I own Glamour & Grace HMU, a salon suite nearby in the same shopping area, and I've visited this spa a few times. I've had such a lovely experience each time that I wanted to share it instead of keeping this gem to myself. If you're looking for a serene atmosphere and professional women who make you feel welcome, I definitely recommend stopping by. I never felt rushed, but the service also didn't drag on--I wasn't there all day. I appreciate that because I hate dreading an appointment that feels like it might take forever. There's no pressure to add services, and the pricing is clear, with no hidden fees or surprise upcharges. It's well worth the drive!

Asked for a fill, the receptionist practically begged me to get a pedicure, I passed. I was told to have a seat, not sure where so I asked, she kind of nodded her head "that way" I pointed and a nail tech pulled the chair out as I walked over than walked away. I thought that was rude , no hello or anything but she wasn't doing my nails so ‍ nail tech came. A 1000 questions, where did I get my nails done, who did them blah blah blah. She fixed a couple lifting nails and a broken nail, I thought my nails were in bad shape that's why I needed someone asap and someone/some place I can go back to maintain. In the end, I can tell the difference. My fixed and broken nails are so darn thick compared to the other ones and she couldn't I'm guessing get the same shape oval ‍ after the 3rd request I accepted what was. THEN their tap wasn't working, well, according to the manager, it was working, but they claimed that everything gets denied the next day. I'm not sure what that means since this was my first time at this shop. Of course I didn't have a card because I looked online and they took Apple Pay. In the end, I Zelled but I guess she thought I was cheating because although she gave me the information it did not show the phone number that I Zelle to, but it shows the name that she gave me ‍ didn't feel welcomed or Appreciate it for my business. I would not recommend I thought they were rude and the service was meh
