This place is M E D I O C R E. I asked for a squared French tip and it was horrible. Wish I would have taken a before and after pics but my nails were so ugly/uneven I wanted to cry every time I looked at them. The place itself is dirty af. Their polishes have dust on them. The wait to get your nails done is eternal. Finally the customer service is trash. They don't care about you as a customer/person. Save the time , gas , and saliva. read more

horrible!! I went in asking for a nude ombré and she did such a bad job that I had to say something and I'm not the one to complain. I told her if I could get white instead but that still turned out bad. she then charges me $45 because she said I made her do double the work. When I told her I was only going to pay for a regular refill ($25) and gave her the money, she literally twisted my fingers and crumbled the money out of my hands and started yelling to never come back in the middle of the store. I quickly made my way to the owner and all she said was "okay next time get someone else" what kind of response is that!?!? Thank god people saw what was happening and started defending me. Worst experience, terrible service and unprofessional. I should've never gave them my money! read more

THE WORST !!! read more

This place is truly disappointing! I've been 3x and struck out each time. I'm done! I'm suffering with an infected toe due to a poorly given pedicure by the incompetent lady from chair #1. After I almost kicked her in the face (reflex) for causing pain and uncontrollable bleeding, you would think an apology would be in order...not at all. Too busy gossiping with another lady. My gel manicure is already peeling off and it's only been 5 days, wtf? I moved in the area not too long ago, which is why I'm trying to find a good nail salon...this is definitely not it. The plaza, the salon, the chairs, the equipment...all dingy, dirty and disgusting! I'm just praying this toe issue doesn't become worse. Ugh, gross!!! read more

My mother used to go here for over 20 years (since she was a teenager), until 6-7 years ago. I figured I'd write this incident now, better late than never. The RACIST & PREDATORY experiences I endured here as a CHILD are UNACCEPTABLE. I've been told throughout my childhood here that I couldn't sit in (or to get out) of certain chairs or I couldn't have a certain color nail polish because "it's too dark." The icing on the cake is when I was a teenager. The owner's, Denise, 30+ year old son asked me predatory questions while doing my nails. He asked me "who's paying for this? Do you have a boyfriend? What school do you go to? How old are you?" My mother noticed the suspicious behavior and stood next to me. He looked her right in her face and raised his voice asking her, "DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM? I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF YOU DO GO THE FRONT DESK. GO HBE SOMEONE ELSE DO HER NAILS THEN AND GET THE FUCK OUT." This was the final straw for the both of us and resulted in this business losing LIFETIME customers! It was VERY inappropriate and OUT OF LINE for THE OWNER'S SON to think I was a naive, young, unprotected girl and attempt to prey on me... especially at a nail salon that attracts HOOKERS AND DRUG ADDICTS. YES, you read that correctly! For those who aren't familiar with Long Beach BLVD, it's always been known for prostitution, drugs and crime. The hookers that work those corners get their nails prepared there on a regular. Take your money ELSEWHERE! It used to very sterile and professional when I under the age of 8, but when I turned around 12 or 13, that's when the decline began. When I was last there, it was so DISGUSTING! The dust from drilled/shaven nails were piled up on each nail person's desk (they didn't sterilize between clients). They installed way too many stations than their salon can fit, making it very cramped. read more

This is the third time I come to this place and they never seem to get the shape done right. I came again to try and see if they would've improved, but the quality is not the best. I honestly would only come to do my toes, not my fingernails. read more

So this nail shop is pretty cool. If you're a clean freak stay away...it's not that the place is dirty, just cluttered a little bit. They are busy quite often so be prepared to wait! They have some great designs which is why I can't stay away. I really LOVE designs on my nails and they are great for the price. Just beware of some of the things you'll see in the plaza. Sometimes it's hard to find a parking spot as well if it's really crowded. :( read more

My nail broke and I was in the area so I went here despite the reviews. I figured they can't be so bad for a simple fill. I was wrong. 1. It's really dirty. 2. My fill started lifting on 6 different fingers in two days. 3. When I went to my regular shop to get another fill (ugh! 2 days later) my shop said the powder they used was very cheap and low quality. Terrible. Please save your money. read more

"Nails on LA" is truly a gem in the city of Compton. This establishment has been in business for 34 years plus. I, personally have been coming here for 17 years with my daughter. This establishment has grown through out the years. The business is own and ran by husband and wife. Their daughter also runs the front desk at times. Very friendly and interesting staff. The staff is misunderstood as aggressive and rude at time because of the language barrier. But if you had difficulties speaking English many would think you are rude or aggressive but they are really not. If you wish to get nails, eyebrows, eyelashes done with a bit of entertainment, THIS IS THE LOCATION you want to come to. There's never a dull moment when I'm here. All kinds of personalities walk in here but the staff is what makes it fun and entertaining. Be prepared, the staff don't speak perfect English but we'll enough to communicate with you and keep you happy with their work. For my eyelashes and eyebrows, my girl Ann is the girl to go to. Nails, my girl is Stacey. My second choice for nails is Peter. Stacey is super friendly and talkative now Peter is serious and super quite. I currently live Lakewood and I always am willing to do the drive to Compton FOR MY nails, Eyebrows AND Lashes because I have yet to find their quality of work and their prices. Monday through Thursday they have specials. They take credit cards and cash. The location is always packed so be prepared to wait. I do have to admit the location does need a major renovation. It seems as its dirty but it's just the so much traffic that go through this establishment that I see how hard it is to maintain it clean at all times. This is NOT a Beverly Hill, nose up kind of place but it is well worth your entertainment and money. If you should decide to give this establishment a chance, I promise you will be entertained along with very satisfied with the service you paid for. I strongly recommend this establishment. read more

Was there this weekend got my toes and nails done great service, it was packed but they were able to get customers in and out quick I was out in 1:30 - two hours given it was a long weekend and satisfied with their job. 80$ nail set and pedicure with tip is not bad at all, I took my 2 year old with me and they were very accommodating with where I could seat him super nice staff will definitely be coming back read more

Horrible place. I went in and they do get you to a chair fast but the tech who was doing my nails made a comment saying women offer him sex for nails I was super uncomfortable after that. Then he asked me for what color I wanted and I said color Black so then he asked me if I liked black men for their big P***s which was so out of line because he doesn't even know me or my husbands race. When it came time to pay the lady in the counter charged my credit card twice thank god I checked my banking app before leaving that horrible place so I argued for my money. Overall I DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Went to get my nails done there and severely overpaid when I went back because they didn't do them right and they were so thin and flimsy they told me I had to pay again which isn't cool the lady got mad because she had to fix the two that broke really easy the lines on my nails weren't straight and they weren't fully colored this is the worst place to get your nails done I swear read more

I've been going here for years but now I've have my final straw!! Jessica reuses her acetone to soak off gel nail polish, which gave me nail fungus on my hands and feet. They are very unsanitary here and it sucks because I really like how she does my feet and hands. I will be only coming here for my eyebrows only. Save yourself the trip if you don't want nail fungus or a trip to the doctors. Not only mention that is very ghetto, many fights and arguments have happened over the years and it's just not good service. read more

I have been coming here since 13 years old, now I'm 25. Yes it is ghetto, dirty, and you have to constantly tell the technicians to sanitize your tools and the tub over and over again. Then the technicians get mad when you ask for a new foot scrubber when CLEARLY! Your suppose to have a new one for every customer including new tools for every customer. So basically you get scold at for what you are paying for?....(say what?) YAS! One thing I do like though is the family setting...the mother, the daughter, and didn't have to much interactions with the dad, but overall their niece does my nails faithfully for the past years-Nia. She doesn't complain when I ask for a bag over the tub, nor gets mad when I tell her to disinfect her tools, she doesn't do whatever on my feet for the MONEY IM PAYING! Oh yeah and my eyebrow lady is Helen not because she bomb! No it's because she's the best one out of that shop but she be fucking up too, got one eyebrow longer than the other. Two stars only because the family treat me good and it's close to my house. But not worth an infection nor the maintenance cost every two weeks. Oh yeah don't come here for the relaxation because there was a stick up January 24,2017 (Yas they were robbed around 7p.m.) so if it's not the stick up kid then it's the hoes on the BLVD. getting beat right in front of the shop in the parking lot by their pimps OR somebody selling some shit, OR the stares down when you walk through. read more

Came to this shop needing my nails & eyelashes done in a hurry. Got the gel manicure & pedicure. Mani/pedi was rushed but I was ok with that since I was in a hurry. Nails still came out looking good. I keep my natural nails & she didn't cut them too short. Their just right. I have a small cut on one of my lil toes but nothing major, It's not painful or bleeding or anything. If I weren't in a hurry, however, I probably wouldn't have chose this shop. Good work for the price though. I got a small set of eyelashes put on by Diane. She's definitely the best! $15 && they are on good!! Overall I would definitely be back to see Diane for my lashes. And if I were ever in a hurry & needed my nails done I would definitely stop through for a quick mani-pedi. read more

Nails on LA - Gel mani/pedi $38 - Nail Salons Near Me - Compton, California

Literally left crying today. After getting my nails done here for my birthday I loved them! Even gave a large tip just for them to be lifting the next day and have serval fall off on the third day. Going in I expected them to fix what they did wrong instead insisted i hit something and that I would have to pay again. Coming to a total of nearly 100$ for the same set of nails the same week! Took my nails off crying bc I can't afford that and they were still convinced I was trying to get over on them ): I'm so upset they couldn't just fix them bc I loved them so much. read more

I just left this place, it is a cattle call, but u can get in and get out. I am simple, basic manicure and pedicure. Baby let me tell u Kevin, a small guy lots of tattoos sat down and pulled out one of those drills and cranked the thing up, he was like long or short, I found this odd, I said no just a basic manicure, nothing else. He said....what the fuck u sitting here for go up front. If I was not trying to stay right with the Lord...... read more

Worst customer service! No sanitation at all! They let one customer go and expect you to sit and put your feet where another customers were at they use the same equipment for every single customer! Prices are low but so is their customer service! read more

Nails on LA - Nail Salons Near Me - Compton, California

Don't come here! they rush their work to get next customer in chair. Re use equipment without proper sanitation. Was drawn here because I heard the prices were reasonable but you really get what you pay for. They will damage your nails. If you want to chance This place, ask for Jessica for basic pedicures and manicures. She's the only one that tries to be clean and thorough and she usually has a line. Also, Helen the eyebrow lady. read more

I have been going here since I was in high school. I now drive all the way from AZ just to come get service.

Horrible nail application. Would rather lie and "wing it" then admit when they can't do something. Be prepared to be there all day. Consider asking for license verification. Went in to get a full half curve set. Said they can do it and ended up with a regular CHUNKY full set. I was pissed. The polish was applied horribly with no apology. Then when I asked them to just remove the color they told me that'll be an EXTRA 13 bucks. Why, when my "nail technician" can't apply nail polish? Never again. WAS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. IS NOT WORTH THE TRIP. read more

DON'T GO HERE!! First they tell you one price & then change it and the end ! I asked how much for a pedicure & they said 15$ & for short French tip nails they said $25 & at the end it all came up to $80 !!! When I asked why he replied with " oh it's cause I put you an exfoliate on your feet ." Like wtf !! He didn't even ask me if I wanted that to begin with !!! I will never go here again! read more

This place is dirty straight up filthy and the people disrespectful. Look at the equipment they use like the nail dryers have impacted dirt on them, the use rough ass towels. But the nasty attitude when you make a request is total disrespect. This place is cheap in terms of prices but keep in mind its filthy. I'm surprised the Cosmetology Board have not come in and make them clean those nasty walls and equipment. This is my review the truth just check for yourself, disgusting! read more

HORRIBLEEEEE customer service !!! My mom started coming here when she was a teen. Our church is right down the block so we used to go there every now & then after church. Ever since the owners daughter took over customer service SUCKS! I went in to get a fill not too long ago the lady acted like she didn't want to do it to begin with then didn't even speak the first thing she said was "your nails long & you have one broken so 25" ... I'm like HELLO... HI.... HOW ARE YOU !? & then she had the nerve to be tugging my hand I guess she was ready to go home or go on break or something I didn't appreciate it so I asked someone else to do my nails but I will not be going back! read more

My experience with Nails on LA was .. different. and by that I mean, I was literally scarred for the rest of my life. I was seduced by the promise of $10.00 eye lash application. My gal pal had hers done and they looked so glam, that I just had to try them. I have never made a worse decision in my life. Never mind all the details of cleanliness and courtesy , The woman simply didn't know what she was doing. She applied the lashes under my lash line, under my eyelid. Imagine flipping your eyelid up, and supergluing plastic lashes to the inside of your eye. the result was horrific: Christmas eve in the E.R, blurry, burning vision, application of eye ointments several times a day, numerous appointments with a specialist and cornea damage. Yep, That's right. She scarred my eyes. I had Twenty -something years of perfect vision and now I have to wear glasses. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Horrible place not only is it dirty! But service is bad . I went in last night to get my nails done this lady cut me just because she was having a conversation with her people . She didn't even stop to clean me . All she did was look at me and say "aaaah so sorry honey" like are you serious ??? It was bleeding no type of sanitation . She kept working like nothing . Didn't even paint my nails correctly . All the extra acrylic is still on my cuticle . I see nothing but lumps . I came from San Pedro for this crap ???? Never again !!! She was such in a rush that she didn't even clean up the nail polish on my fingers she say "no no you wash off " like no ???? Point is NEVER again !!!!!!!! read more

So I am not used to the "massive sweat shop ghetto type" nails salons of LA.. My homegirl Ana said this is the only place where she will go to get a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed-- you in? Jess and I were like sure why not. We get into the place and there are about 20 pedicure stations, 10 nail stations, and 10 waxing stations..chaos and calamity... I am dumped into a chair and an elderly women starts to do my feet-- quickly done and a cute pattern on my toes-- cool beans! Then I went and got my eye brows waxed-- I am SUPER PARANOID when it comes to things like this because it is so easy to screw them up... Kimmy did an awesome job and there was no swelling or breaking out afterwards. If you are getting a wax here ask for Kimmy or Helen (everyone else will **ck ur **it up). They also have some folks who do beautiful nails. So-- totally cost of my pedicure and wax: 25 dollars-- oh yes ladies.. I paid super cheap and got the exact same results as I would if I went to a super swanky salon. I will mos def go back if I ever get the chance. read more

Don't recommend this place at all. They're always crowded, and it's so loud in there that you can't even hear the person doing your nails asking what you want. They do a fast and sloppy job on acrylics and I ended up with a ton of acrylic stuck to my fingers that I had to pick of for the next 2 days (which also ruined the nails). The only thing I do like is they do very nice designs for pedicures. Overall I don't recommend them at all there are WAY better salons out there. read more
