While enjoying my breakfast, I decided to do a little digging and found out that walk-ins were an option. Just to be sure, I called the place to confirm, and to my delight, they do accept walk-ins, although they prefer appointments. So, I snagged a 10 a.m. slot, and in just 45 minutes, I was all done, checked out, and ready to go! As I settled in, I couldn't help but admire the stunning "glass" or holographic effect on my technician's nails--it was absolutely mesmerizing! They had a variety of colors, but with the festive season upon us, I went with a vibrant red. The whole experience was fantastic; the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was both relaxing and impeccably clean. read more

So I went a few times to really get the feel of this place. The first time I came in everyone was so nice and welcoming. I called to make my appointment because online was a bit confusing for me. My nails came out exactly how I wanted. The second time I brought my partner so we could get pedicures. This 3rd time I had my acrylics removed and received a gel builder on top of my natural nails. 10/10 would recommend this nail salon to any and everyone. So happy I found a new place. It's so cute inside of the salon. read more

I never write reviews, but this one is long overdue! I've been going to Nails Need Love 2 for two years now, and I've tried a handful of other places in between nothing compares. The staff here is incredible, the salon is spotless, and you can always book online (plus they call to confirm, which I love). The front desk guy is a lifesaver he's squeezed me in last minute more than once. Their towels are always fresh, the massage chairs are heaven, and the whole space has that clean, chic aesthetic that makes it feel like a true luxury experience. For my birthday, I totally spaced and forgot to book ahead, but they still managed to fit me in. Normally I see Tia (she's amazing her shaping skills are unmatched and she nails it every time), but she wasn't there, so I went with Ana. Oh. My. Gosh. She delivered. I asked for a French cream and red look with some polka dots, showed her a photo, and she immediately understood the vibe. She was clear and upfront about pricing, super detail-oriented, and even added a few extra touches that weren't in the picture but made my nails pop even more. Honestly, it was the perfect birthday set. Now here's the real test: it's been a full month, and aside from the grow-out, my nails look exactly the same as the day I left. That's how you know the work and products are top-tier. If you're searching for a new nail spot. stop looking. This is it. My personal recommendations: for designs and flawless shaping, go with Ana or Tia. Big thank you to Ana for making me feel extra special on my birthday read more

Loved my experience here! It's tucked around a corner of the block so you can't miss it. Lots of open air and enough seating to not feel overwhelmed. I came in on a walk in and didn't have to wait at all. $38 got me a basic pedicure but she went in right away with the callus remover and nice long soaking. They time your massage and five minutes went by quick but it was so strong. The massage chairs are dreamy and cozy with lots of options. I loved my pedicure and I knew it would be great by demeanor and her attention to detail. Super happy I stopped by! Thanks Fenni! read more

They do excellent work every time I come. I also had my real nail split in half, but unfortunately they were not able to cut it so that it would stop splitting, but they were able to put something on it to stop it from getting worse. I will be back here again for sure. read more

I came here for the first time after searching for a new nail salon since my longtime nail tech moved out of town--and I'm so glad I found this place! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was great. Everyone was welcoming and professional. Tia did my nails and completely blew me away. Not only did she bring my reference photo to life, but she made it look even better than the picture! Her attention to detail and creativity really impressed me. Fenny did my pedicure and it was equally amazing--super thorough, relaxing, and clean. You can tell they take pride in their work here. I've officially found my new go-to nail spot and will definitely be coming back regularly! Highly recommend! read more

I've been searching for literal years to find a nice salon with good techs and products. I stumbled across this one on my lunch break and came back after work to check them out. The front desk employee was okay with me taking a walk around and I liked what I saw. A clean, modern salon. I've now been coming here for about 8 months and I recommend them to family and friends. The price point is higher than some salons but you are getting what you pay for. read more

I have been going here for a few years now, I've been to so many nail salons and this salon can truly do so many different options. Designs, acrylic, gel X, hard gel, every color too you name it. This is a place you can count on for last minute appointments and swift work. Love, love, love. read more

Nailsneedlove Studio II - Hard gel over natural nail, French tip with a bubblegum pink base - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

This nail salon is the best! My mom and I see Tia and Steven routinely and they always do a fantastic job with manicures. I've had Yuna and Cloud a few times and they also do a great job. Everybody is so friendly and hard working! Tony will greet you as you walk in and you will immediately feel comfortable and welcomed. They often have new nail colors so i definitely recommend being a frequent customer. Their salon is also very clean and cute :) read more

I was new to LBC, looking to get a fill for my hard gel manicure. Scheduling was an easy, smooth process. I was able to check into my appointment and receive service promptly. I chose Tia as the nail tech for my hard gel manicure. As a first time guest, she did not charge me to have my original hard gel removed; she only charged for the new set. The service didn't take more than 1 hr + 30. The drill file was hot on my nails, so that felt uncomfortable. Over time, my nails chipped and the polish cracked and broke off. I returned a second time looking for that simple, natural style gel fill. The service was similar to the first time: easy and efficient scheduling; the drill tool was hot on my nails again; the result lasted similarly. My real nails were separating from the gel base, the polish was chipping again. I found this frustrating and unsatisfactory. I returned a third time for a fresh fill. My schedule was hectic that day, but the salon very kindly accommodated my shifting appointment times (thank you, so much!). I did not choose a particular nail tech, but rather was open to anyone servicing my nails. I was seated with Anna. She is lovely, and did an aesthetically charming job, the drill wasn't hot at all on my nail; however I had to return the next day to touch up one of my nails because the gel didn't cure fully. When I returned to ask them to redo that specific nail, they serviced me quickly and repaired the nail at no additional cost, as per their 7 day return policy. It has been 4 days since returning to ask for a repair on my nails, and today, I came to find that the nail I needed to have redone has now cracked at the base of the tip. I am not disappointed with the aesthetic of the nails done by Tia and Anna (and the young man that did the repair), but I am disappointed that every time I've gotten my nails done here, the hard gel is not cured properly, leaving my nails and the polish to constantly chip. The result is a set that doesn't last a long time. It's my understanding that a hard gel set done well can last up to 4 weeks. I'm finding the hard gel sets that I pay for here, last less than 3 weeks. I typically pay $55 plus $20 tip. The price doesn't bother me, for what I'm asking to have done, but I really want the nails to last longer than they have been. And that's what I find disappointing about my experience with this salon. If you're looking for a quick stop to touch up your nails, this place would probably work out fine for you. But if you're anything similar to me, I prefer quality every time. I've wanted to visit this salon a couple of times before leaving a review, but I think after 3 visits, my mind is made up and I've gotten all the information I'm looking for. This review is in no way an attempt to shade the hard working employees of this establishment (they really are very friendly and helpful individuals). The space itself is fresh, modern, bright and comfortable to be in. I just wish there was more attentiveness (less rushing) to the process, especially for the laid back nail style that I ask for. read more

One of the best in the city! I have been a customer for about 6 months and I can't go anywhere else. It is so easy to call and make an appointment. I've gotten a gel x set that lasted a whole month and still looked amazing after all those weeks. The pedicures are so relaxing, but the main service I come for is the builder gel manicure. I have done this a few times and the sets always last so long. The staff are always nice and attentive, but my past two appointments have been the best with Hannah. She is very knowledgeable about nails and actually cares about their health. She fully understands the inspo and surpasses expectations. Overall, Hannah is my new girl! I love this place. I always have a pleasant, relaxing time here. read more

I stumbled upon this nail place almost a year ago and hesitate to share the awesomeness since I want to still get an appointment when I want. Hahaha. The seasonal pedicures are a favorite, but the staff like Fenny and Cloud who are always smiling and chatting with you while performing the service give us a positive vibe. I trust my hands to Steven who hates it when I ask for something basic but loves a challenge when I want something different and fun. I always leave with compliments on my service and highly recommend this place to anyone who asks. read more

One of the best pedicures I've ever had! Hubs and I try to do pedicures on vaca and so glad we made this one happen on a short trip to SoCal. Lovely interior I love the open ceiling look. I felt very pampered with a straight up mini champagne bottle poured over my legs! Other than that I got a great massage and perfectly painted toes. Tony had great attention to detail. I personally didn't love the massage chairs however as it was a little too rough on me but hubs liked it (I'm someone that will NEVER get a deep tissue massage) so that was disappointing but the rest of the experience made up for it. Two weeks later my toes are still perfect. read more

I recently visited Nailaneedlove Studio 2 in Long Beach for a pedicure. The space itself is super cute, welcoming, and has a really friendly vibe. Everyone there was nice, and the overall work they did looked great. That being said, during the pedicure, there were a few moments that were actually pretty painful for me. Other than that, I can't deny that the final result looked beautiful, and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. read more

Nailsneedlove Studio II - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been looking for a nice nail shop that actually does a good job for a long time. Went on Yelp today and found this spot. I'm happy to say my search is over. The salon is clean, currently upgrading the flooring. The chairs feel great, very relaxing. It smells good and music choice makes the experience relaxing. It's on the corner of 3rd and Magnolia. The staff were nice and organized. I told my family as soon as I left, to try them out. I haven't had a pedicure this good in a long time, and it was just the base service. read more

Updating my review again because I am appalled at the owner's replies to my HONEST experience after being a loyal customer who has even referred people to this salon. The owner's response is an absolute LIE and is NOT what happened when I arrived. I have a LAW DEGREE- the staff is too racist to consider the fact that I have a JURIS DOCTORATE and have no reason to lie when I file my formal complaint. Regarding the placement of my foot- I only lifted it after being REQUESTED because they did not believe my toe was chipped. I simply placed it where the manager could see it after HE ASKED ME TO. I will now be adding screenshots of the owner Amy's replies to my review in the formal complaint to the BBB. I have been coming to this salon for the last 5 months and even referred several people here. I pay close to $200 for manicure & pedicure biweekly and have had to return to the studio less than 24 hours later multiple times due to the quality of the work. I usually do not mind going back for them to fix the small errors, however, the last visit was the final straw as the manager Tony & employee Tia treated me not only rudely, but unprofessionally. I paid for a gel x manicure and they forgot to cut my cuticles- so I reminded them. Tia told me "your cuticles look fine" - My French tip gel pedicure chipped within a day and I asked them to simply fix it. They gave me a hard time when I am the customer and never apologized. Unfortunately, I will not be returning back and I am extremely disappointed in the customer service and quality of the work lately. read more

I showed her the design I wanted and she executed it perfectly. Thank you Anna for squeezing me in and doing such a great job!
