    Okay... so I've been going to Van since before she was even at Vanity and she has always been my absolute favorite to go to. No one can compare to my girl Van and the work she does! I'm a single mom of two and always look forward to my nail appointments to unwind and have more than a few laughs with Van. Not only is she so easy going and great listener, I know whatever design I bring to the table (which I always come with something) she will always achieve and never give you a hard time about it. She is the one to go to!

    Love! Love! Love! and I felt very safe! Thanks Van for giving me and my daughter. Great help and pedi service! You are amazing!!

    I don't get my nails done often, but when I do, I always try to see Van. I will only go somewhere else out of desperation which is weird since I am not a big nails person. Haha. Van is a perfectionist when it comes to your nails. She's also very honest and upfront about everything from the pricing to details of your service. She's also hilarious and fun to talk to. Just good vibes all around. I highly recommend her if you can get an appointment with her!

    Van is an all star nail god! She is not only creative, easy to talk to, and a perfectionist, but she keeps it real and is affordable. I will def be going back and sending business her way. She is the hidden gem in Burbank.

    Van is the best!! You will not be disappointed with her service. I get her gels and they are always beyond perfect. She knows what she's doing! Do yourself a favor and book with her you won't regret it. Clean environment and just an overall great experience!

    Van does such a great job on my nails. She is fast, knowledgeable, and such a pro. So happy I decided to try her out. Thanks Van

    Lovely acrylics with mood color changing gel on Top!

    I've been going to Van for about four months and I always get compliments on how nice my nails Look. She does great gel manicures, acrylics and pedicures! If you want a fun design Van is your girl! She's easy to schedule an appointment with with a quick txt and she's always flexible with appointments and so friendly! Everything is very clean and she'll get you in and out with perfect nails. Plenty of awesome color Choices as well as gel Colors with perfect regular polish to match for your pedicure! Highly recommend! And love the shop she's in. So cute and a good vibe!

    Let me preface this by pointing out that my nails are literally paper thin. I'm not even exaggerating, it's very hard for me to grow them unless the product used is super strong. Look how long I was able to grow my natural nails with Van's dip powder gel. I've literally been to the beach, packed huge boxes for an upcoming move and lugged around super heavy suitcases. Not a single nail broken! The pictures are from when I first got my mani and after three weeks of growth. I initially went to Van for pedis. She's absolutely amazing. Got rid of any in grown nails and the pedis can last 3 weeks if not more. It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my nails but Van is great! If you have weak nails and want to grow them, trust me, go see Van! You will not regret it

    Van never disappoints. Loving the nail art on today's manicure. I showed her a picture I found on pintrest and she nailed it! She has a pretty full schedule so always make ur appointment ahead of time.

    I adore everything about Van. I get 25 compliments on my gorgeous nails every week. I have not had one nail break since I started going a year ago. She is super clean and nice. You have to book early because she is so popular and she keeps her spots on time. I get the gel powder. Absolutely the best nails I have had in over 15 years. A real artist. I cannot recommend her enough.

    I wish I could give Van a million stars! I have been going to Van for over 3 years and I have never been disappointed. She truly is VANTASTIC! (See what I did there?) I followed her from the other nail salon she worked at. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! Go see Van! Oh yeah...... Cash only!

    Thank you once again Van, for the amazing job you did on my nails! They are perfect!
    Sarah S.

    Van is the absolute best. I have never found someone who does my nails as good as she does. My gel manicures always come out perfectly and they last for so long each time! I pretty much won't go to anyone else now. The nice thing is that not only is she great at what she does but she's such a pleasure to be around. I always look forward to going in. I highly recommend trying her. You'll be glad you did!

    Rosemary G.

    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Van is the BEST! Been following her around for sometime and will continue to do so. Her work is impeccable, she is super friendly and professional. Not to mention a miracle worker, I have long sharp natural nails thanks to all the TLC she gives them!

    Time efficient and beautiful result. Absolutely love how these came out! Thanks so much!read more

    I went here to get my gel removed, I called ahead, they had availability and said it would be $10…read moreto get them removed, which was perfect so I went! I went in and the nice technician started removing my gel, at the end of removing my gel she asked 'do you want me to cut your cuticles for you?' And I said 'if you don't mind that would be appreciated!' She cut my cuticles and I went to wash my hands and was ready to pay. However when I went to pay, the receptionist told me it would be $45, I asked to confirm the price because all I got was my gel removed and she told me because I agreed to having my cuticles cut, it was now considered a manicure and 'she did the service so I need to pay it.' To which I asked for clarification because she did not paint my nails, do a clear coat, soak my nails, or any of the other services that come with a manicure. She said I could get a polish if I wanted to and I considered it but then I asked again is there no way to pay a little more than the gel removal fee because yes she did cut my cuticles but it feels unfair that since they did not communicate that uncharge to me that I would be expected to pay for a service I simply did not get. She said I should have asked for the prices when she offered to cut my cuticles and I said that doesn't feel fair because I've gotten gel removed before where they just cut my cuticles without asking so why would I have assumed it would be a $35 add on to my $10 service. The receptionist then told me to leave and she would rather me not pay than argue with her. I explained I was not arguing and I do want to pay, $45 for a service I did not receive feels unfair but I would not be leaving without paying. I took a $20 out of my wallet and put it on the technicians table and left. I paid double what I would have paid for the service alone, I will not let someone think I'm trying to not pay service workers, she deserves to be paid, however, I am not okay with trying to be scammed out of $35 for a up-charge that was not communicated properly. I do not recommend this shady behavior in an establishment, sorry for the miscommunication but this could have been handled so much better than it was.

    Great service, very nice and knowledgeable Perfect customer…read moreservice, attention to detail and the staff is just lovely all around I love coming here for my little oasis pampering and quality nails

    I am truely sad to have to write a negative review for this place…read more I was really hoping based on their other reviews, that I found my new nail place. I had hard Gel on my nails from my old place. Not chips or cracks! I was asking for my nails to be cut all the way down and hard gel again. Ben was the tech, he used a dremel to grind off what was on my nails and to cut down the length. I first had to keep telling him to go shorter and shorter. He then used the nail file and it still wasn't getting them short enough and they were extremely crooked. I had to point out about 8 of the 10 nails one by one that need to be leveled out. He then did his thing painting them. I got no lotion, no cuticle cutting, no hand message. Just the Dremel, file, paint, light and oil. About 3 hrs later 1 nail chipped. I went back and Rose tried to corrected it. She removed everything off the nail again. Placed some type of liquid hardener, cure it, but did not smooth it out so after it was painted it looked rippled. By that night a 2nd nail cracked, by morning a 3rd nail chipped. I wasn't doing any house work or anything to cause it. By day day 3, I have 3 chipped and 1 cracked nail and that's not mentioning the one they corrected. $50 for Hard Gel and 2 Visit, tipping both visits. Gone! Update: 7 days later my nails are so messed up. I really wanted to possibly go back and give them one more chance but absolutely not!

I called and they were able to provide an appointment time with Alana for the same day a few hours after my call. Got a friendly welcome and Alana did an amazing job and she was fast too! I had only tried one other Russian manicure location and the second time I went they made some of my nails bleed and inflamed so I was a bit scared to try a new place but I'm happy I did :) Highly recommend . The spot is super cute too :)

I'm extremely detail-oriented and usually walk out of nail appointments feeling a little disappointed, but not this time. Alona absolutely exceeded every expectation. She is incredibly gentle, precise, and efficient. Not once did she nick me or cause any discomfort. The whole process was smooth, painless, and honestly relaxing. She pays such close attention to detail that every single nail looks flawless-literally Pinterest perfect. I've never had my nails look this clean, even, and beautiful before. She also helped me find the perfect color match for the inspiration photo I showed her, and the final shade was exactly what I wanted. It was spot-on. Beyond her amazing technique, Alona is super kind, patient, and genuinely cares about doing great work. It's so clear she takes pride in her craft, and it shows in the final result. I've been searching forever for a nail tech who's truly skilled, and I finally found her. If you're picky, particular, or just want your nails to look insanely good, go to Alona. She's SO freaking good. I'm already excited for my next appointment!

    This is an updated review after returning for gel removal, and a full new gel set…read more There is no doubt that the techs here are top tier. What sets them apart from other places is that they really care about your nail health (won't overdrill/overbuff, very careful with removals, etc). For my birthday, my friend and I decided to get our nails done together, and I thought Organic Nail House was the best place to go. Julie was my tech that day, and she was absolutely lovely. I got hard gel nails done in Japan, and it took awhile to remove, but she handled it with such care. My nails still felt strong. I chose to do white 002 with #13 chrome and it turned out so beautiful!!! I am literally obsessed with this new color and can't stop looking at it in the light!!! I may want to just do this combination every single time!! The salon itself is a very relaxing environment. Especially coming on a weekday, it was extra peaceful and lovely. Also, the owners of this place were very nice and cleared up the misunderstanding we had during my first appt. I appreciated the genuine and kind follow up from them, which means a lot to me! I do love the quality of work they do here, and they'll continue to be my go-to nail salon!

    This used to be my go-to nail salon, but unfortunately things have changed since the management…read moretransition. I initially noticed issues with the regular polish, as my nails would chip the very next day. While I eventually switched to gel and didn't mind it, part of the reason I continued coming was because I live nearby and the location is convenient. What has been most disappointing is that I appear to have been blocked from calling the salon. When I try to call from my phone, the calls do not go through, but they do when I use a different phone. I have no idea why this would be the case, as I have always been polite and respectful. At my last appointment, the owner ended up fixing my nail because the salon seemed extremely short-staffed. When I first came in to have the nail repaired, I waited about 30 minutes before being told to return another day. I did not get upset or cause a scene, I simply came back as requested. Throughout my visits, I have been patient but my nails kept chipping. As a business owner myself, I understand that staffing shortages and operational challenges happen. I appreciated that they eventually fixed the nail, especially since I had experienced repeated chipping that appeared to be related to newer products being used. It's also sad to see so many of the original team members no longer there. Overall, I'm left feeling confused and disappointed by the level of service and communication, especially given my loyalty as a longtime customer.
