The prices are reasonable, but this is a no-frills nail salon. Most people come for gel manicure, but I come for regular. Gel just ruins my nails. For the best color for regular mani, I bring my own Essie, OPI, and Lux brand nail polish. If you want gell, there's plenty to choose from. Ann, the owner, is personable, and the best nail tech is hands down, Lo-ann. I have been seeing her for pedicures for 20 years --- she's got a loyal customer in me! Nancy does great manicure. She's very careful and detail-oriented. Just make sure that you have an appointment because these two ladies are BUSY all the time! read more

I have been a client before Ann had her own shop that's been 20 yrs I get pedicures manicures and waxing I would never go anywhere else service is excellent and high quality. Even on my trips to New York and out of the country I wait to go back to Nails Express no one else equals their service Marie S read more

I made an appointment the day of, for a basic gel manicure. I was in and out very fast, but there were only 3 nail artists so a few other customers had to wait quite a bit. I'd definitely recommend calling to book an appointment for this place! The manicure turned out great. This was the first time I felt my nails slightly burn under the UV light.. not sure if it's just a fluke. I paid $35 + tip for this set. I came here for the great prices and it delivered overall. :) I'll be back for affordable nails. read more

Got a basic manicure. $35. Will not be back due to their choice of entertainment (FoxNews).

Made me wait me wait 30 minutes despite having an appointment, didn't even get a full pedicure they just washed my feet and put polish on. Tools didn't seem clean. I was in and out and it was cheap but probably wouldn't go again. read more

The lady that did my pedicure after this tried harder and do a decent job after seeing my annoyed face. The first lady that did my gel manicure (I think it was the owner?) barely looked at my nails while doing them. She was done in 10 minutes which was the plus but the fact that she didn't even bother prepping my nails past roughening them with a machine is probably why. Didn't push back my cuticles at all and I know it hehe instruments aren't sterilized which is always a health hazard I'm wary of. Wish I saw the Yelp rating before going in. read more

My sister has been going to for years and she recommended me to Ann saying that when ever she's busy always make sure to squeeze me in knowing I come from north hills to her and bring her daughters to her too so I gave it a try and I was not disappointed. Thank you Ann for taking good care of me like my sister Suzy. Will definitely be coming back read more

I was in the area and decided to get my nails done here. I walked in with a friend of mine and the wait wasn't horrible, but long considering there were seats open and workers walking around. After getting seated for my pedicure the lady began to quickly do everything. It looked like she was in a hurry, although I didn't mind that since I thought that meant she was very good at her job and was trying to get me out quicker. That wasn't the case. She made two of my fingers bleed, and stabbed my left big toe until it started gushing too.. I suggested to maybe not continue but she said it's fine and started rubbing alcohol on my feet, and kept wiping it very hard with a towel. It's safe to say that I was in pain most the time, and was overcharged considering I didn't get a manicure done, but still got charged for the mani pedi combo price. I would've been fine with whatever happened but since it's been a week and the swelling and bleeding in my toe has gotten worse, I wanna WARN everyone to be careful here. And wanna say that maybe they don't use sanitary/new products, which might be the reason for her freaking out when she made me bleed in 3 different places. read more

Nails Express - A few days ago, and today. It's only getting worse.. - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

This place has been my go too for almost 10 years now!!! Such good chromer service and amazing advice on his to take care of your nails.

Holy moly was this place express, in a bad way. Should've saved 30 dollars and did my nails on my own. Kept asking her to clean up the nail polish around my nails but she kept cutting the skin she painted on instead. Don't know how much skin she was planning on cutting. If you're wondering why the middle finger is darker it's because she decided to add a third coat (only on that finger) to cover a bubble. I asked her to use acetone to take the paint off the sides againnn and she said that it'll just wash off. Safe to say I'll stick to at home gel compared to this place read more

Nails Express - Darker middle, not clean edges, cuticles still flaky - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

This salon has been a must go for me for years. I was always a busy mom and never made time for me and would just come occasionally. Ann, who does the best nails anywhere as I've come to learn, recommended nails for me so I could grow my own nails. They always look so beautiful they don't break and I constantly get compliments. even with my Constant typing and cleaning. No matter how busy I am I do make that short appointment for my fills and my pedicures. Ann does the most amazing nails and fills and all the other ladies are amazing at pedicures. You feel very special here! And whenever I come I hear stories of how ladies will drive many miles away to come here. read more

This review is for Ann and dipping powder as well as pedicures. This place is conveniently located super close to my office but I was hesitant to go because of the reviews but I'm so glad I did! I had a great French pedicure a couple weeks ago so I decided to come Back to try them out for SNS Dipping powder. It is always really important to get someone GOOD who knows how to make your nails look naturally thin and not thick and fake like you'll see with some sloppy billing powder jobs. Ann did my nails and she did a fantastic job. read more

Since I moved to Glendale a year ago in 2017 I have been coming to this location. The first time I visited I didn't like much how one of the ladies did my pedicure. She cut a bit much on one of my toe nails and it was bleeding. Not such a big deal but just a precaution for future clients. I gave this place a second chance and they really did come around. I have been coming ever since. I feel that they care about their work and so far on my nails is shows a job well done. So far I have done pedicures, manicures, acrylics, waxed eyebrows and upper lip. I'm sure if any other services in the future are needed I will definitely come. To add one more comment their prices are fair compared to other nail salons I have been to. read more

DO NOT GO HERE...I always check to yelp and the one time I don't I get the worst experience. So I was in the area and had to get my nails done, so I called to see if they has availability. I started my mani requesting a gel manicure. As the nail tech was cutting my cuticles, she cut it so deep that I started bleeding. Tip....Maybe the nail tech can take a day off and learn how to cut cuticles! (Seems like this is an issue numerous clients had after reading reviews.) The cut was so bad that I told her I will do a regular manicure since I did not want to put my bloody finger in a UV light. I don't get an apology. Just a simple.. "its okay pick color." The nail tech puts on the polish. The polish is cheap quality that it looks wrinkled and bubbles after it drys. Also she leaves polish on the sides on my nail. I will post a pic so you get an idea of what it looks like. Since she told me to pay before, I had already tipped her 3 dollars. Wish I never did. I paid $19 and walked out with horrible nails I will never go back. Save your nails girls! read more

Ann was extremely amazing. She did a great job. She is extremely helpful and very good at what she does. Go to Ann she's the best

THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR NAILS. GO ELSEWHERE. I came in for a gel removal and gel manicure. I asked the technician to keep my nails as long as possible since I was happy with the length. She chopped them with the clippers, even after multiple requests to keep them long. I also asked multiple times for her to even out my nails with the file, and although she did, she didn't do it well. They are not well shaped. I could have done a better job myself. I was given a discount after I complained but the manicure should have been free for the quality. Additional warning: this salon filed my nails with the sander even after scraping off the gel - this only causes damage to nails and is NOT healthy for nails. Other customers seemed happy but my experience was very disappointing and a major waste. UPDATE: I returned to have them rectify my ruined nails with a top coat. They wanted to charge me regular price. read more

YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO COME TO THIS PLACE! Amazing service and the work is done beautifully and quickly! Ann is great and she helped me from the beginning to the end. My acrylics are beautiful. 5 stars to this place read more

I have lovely long nails and my two middle nails broke I decided I wanted something that would last me longer than my normal nails so I thought to try acrylics for the first time. I enjoyed having a laugh with the staff. And being who I am I I struck up a conversation with the other patrons who where all as sweet as the staff. The place was clean they helped me pick out a good colour and how long my nails should be, etc. I'm really happy with the nail job being new to this acrylic thing I was anxious but now I'm pretty darn pleased with how they came out. They've lasted longer than my normal nails being painted and they're pretty and pointed. BIG FANCY!! Great new look!! read more

Loved this place! I walked in an only had to wait 5 min to be seen. Their selection of colors both gel and regular is extensive. I got my eyebrows done and they look amazing!! Pretty great prices for services considering the area. Will def come back! read more

I should have believed the Yelp reviews. Horrible service, especially when Ann (the owner) isn't there. Technicians don't acknowledge your presence. When asked to not buff toenails using nail drill (I don't have acrylics on my toes) I was given an attitude and the technician (the oldest woman working there) began hurting my toes on purpose. When asked for her name, she wouldn't give it. Made me wonder if she is even licensed to work there. The owner Ann is nice but her technicians are a nightmare. I will never go back. Horrible. Stay away. read more

I want to start off by saying that I've been a regular at Nail's Express for just about 10 years now. I used to go to ERIC for my nails -- he was an incredible nail technician... first one to ever be so gentle and do such an amazing job in such little time. I'm typically very sensitive, picky, and impatient, but with Eric I never even had to check what he was doing. There were times I would go in, give him my hands, and say "you know what to do" and he'd do a PERFECT job in just about 30 minutes. With that being said, he disappeared a year or two ago never to be heard of again. The owner made up this shady story about how he's working out of state in some other field -- whatever. So now I've been bouncing around from one nail tech to another trying to tolerate the poor job these people do, and although I've been very frustrated, this last experience topped it off for me. After explaining how I wanted my nails to be fixed over and over, and even showing her how to do it, this new nail tech (who I've gone to before) completely butchered my nails. To the point where people (unsolicited) are amazed by how horrible they are. HOW EMBARRASSING! And when I originally told her that she did a bad job, she said it was my fault because I needed to tell her what I wanted. lol! I SHOWED her and she still managed to F* it up! On top of that, the nails aren't even consistently messed up... each nail progressively got worse; it's almost funny to look at how her effort into the nails deteriorated nail by nail... RIDICULOUS service. I can't believe that after being a loyal customer for 10 years I was treated with service this bad... nails express has seriously gone down the drain in quality... to I used to vouch for this place to all of my friends and family! I will NEVER come back here, and you can be sure my family will never be back either. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars. Incident happened more than a year ago, but I'll be damned if I ever step foot into this sorry establishment ever again. Poor, sloppy manicures & painful pedicures are to be had here!!! Staff unwelcoming, unfriendly, and I swear they were talking $h!+ in their language about me & the rest of their clients. Time for payment: So I had $7 in cash on me. I asked if I could pay w/ credit card & the lady literally rolled her eyes & stomped her way to the card terminal. She then yelled across the salon... "you pay $20" so I said "ok sure" then she asked "just $20?" I said "yes, please." Unbeknownst to her, I was gonna give her my cash for her tip.... BUT NOOOO! Beeeyatch decided otherwise! I got the slip to sign & she rung me up for $25! Can you believe it? She decided to give herself a $5 tip! THE AUDACITY!? I WAS gonna give her a $7 tip, but hell, after that fast one; I'M ne'er going back! read more

Nail Express is not recommended whatsoever. Ann is the only lady who does acrylic nails and they do not last at all. I got my nails done a week in a half ago and nails should last 2-3 weeks especially if it has a gel polish coat. 2 nails had fallen off from the bottom to the top right off and many are lifted from the sides. Mind you this is a new set!! read more

Rushed on my lunch break and this was the closest salon to my work was the only reason I came here. I could deal with the not so welcoming spa chair that I had to make sure was just quite faded and a little torn but not actually dirty. That the water, even after asking for it to be hotter, was only mildly warm. I thought watching the Vietnamese version of "The Voice" from a small TV behind my chair was interesting and I had my concerns that she would be distracted as the manicurist cut my cuticles rapidly with the scissors. YUP, a small corner of my middle finger was cut. Ouch. She acted like it happened all the time and promptly poured hydrogen peroxide on the finger and went on like it didn't matter ALSO continued to watch the TV. Damn those addictive reality shows. My finger still stings. I had brought my own polish from home but decided I wanted a light pink for my finger nails, she brought me 2 options, although I was hesitant on this unknown brand I went with it because she was raving it was the most popular light pink. We'll see how long it lasts because the manicure itself is a little sloppy and turns out it was her own brand that she had mixed together....should've gone with the OPI. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because my pedicure was actually pretty good and I feel bad for them. She didn't even offer me a discount or anything for cutting my finger. Seriously shaking my head. Not going back but I hope that she will pay attention when using those scissors now! read more

I come here for the SNS manicure and I love it! It stays on as long as gel, even more! The best thing about SNS is that the surface of the nails doesn't have to be scraped as with gel, no lamp necessary as it dries on it's own, and it makes your nails stronger! Other salons don't have this product. Otherwise, it is easy to make appointment here and the girls always help me create a design that I want, as I like to get creative with my nails. read more

Nails Express - Ouch - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, California

This has to be the worst nail salon I have ever been to in my entire life. I only came here because it is super close to my house and my car wasn't working so I thought I'd just walk here and it couldn't be that bad. I arrived and asked for a gel pedicure. I left with something I could have done myself at home. They handed me the selection of colors to choose from and anything I selected had apparently been discontinued or they had run out. So finally, I chose a basic dark red. The woman filed my nails SO horribly and no matter how much I told her to fix it she kept making it more crooked and way shorter, so I eventually gave up. When it came time to apply the gel color, I noticed the bottle for the color barely had anything left in it. Instead of grabbing a new polish, she continued to use the empty one. She struggled to scrape whatever was left out of the bottle and put it on my nails. The results were extremely disappointing. It looked like a two year old had applied my nail polish the color was uneven and did not even shine. I will never be returning to this place. You would expect if you're paying $33 dollars to get your toes done you would receive some quality. Save yourself the time and trouble and go somewhere else!!!! read more
