LENA IS GONE! =========== I've been coming here for the last 2 years and I love it. I can't find anywhere else. I currently moved to bell gardens and I still take the drive to Long Beach for my nails. I get my nails done from Lena and pedicure from Holly. They're the team to beat. Lena knows my shape of nails and has great customer service and holly really cleans and is really careful while doing my pedicure. I've never had an issue with price. They're pricing is affordable. They're customer service is priceless. I recommend to call before arriving. You can make an appointment. I call before I arrive, and make sure my girls are available. And I also pick my chair and reserve if
Thee worse nail place ever. I came just to get my acrylics removed. The lady flinched so much as if she was barely starting the career. At the end, she told me to wash my hands and there were 3 nails that still had acrylic pieces left on them. My nails are not even filed and when giving me my change , she left it on her side and i had to reach around to get my money. She asked me if i wanted more nails, well maam no, and if i did i wouldnt be going there
This is the worst example of a "fill" , The new product applied didn't even match the previous "ombré" I had originally. I'm so disappointed! never coming back (:
Nails: This place is not on the latest trends if you want acrylic cat/pointed nails. I would say this location is more for the ladies that would like an excellent mani/pedi with a short reflexology massage (you can pay to extend) And solid color gel nails. Although, today I asked them to put palm trees on my nails and they surprised me (thank you Kim). I love Helen and her husband but they do not do as great of a job as the rest of their staff. They're a tight knit family owned business and I love supporting them as a LB native! Price: Affordable/Economic. Mani/Pedi $21.99, Gel: $15 for hands or feet, Design: $5, Callus Remover $5, Reflexology massage ($5 -10mins as an add-on or $30 for 30 mins) Parking: After 5pm and Weekend - Park in the bank parking lot. Any time before this, park in the neighborhood street by Pizza Hut.
This is my 10th time here and I must say they're still doing a great job with my nails. I worked at the Airport and having a good set of nails is must, most of the Passengers that I've encountered were asking where do I get my nails done. I love everything about them, from the place to the price and their Location. Especially Kim, she's really good at it.
They really treat me like their own here. I've been to PLENTY of nail salons because I tend to always wanna try someplace new, but I have to say their customer service has landed a very loyal customer. Annie is THE best masseuse everrrrr. The spa mani/pedis ($20) come with a free massage for a few minutes and my God it tops most massages I've received from trained professionals. It's quite heavenly. They offer an additional reflexology sesh for $7 for 5 minutes and $20 for 30 minutes (if I remember correctly), and a few other services. I get the callous remover and they really get down and dirty with it--your feet will feel silky smooth as a result. She also takes her sweet time with my usually messed up nails and does a fantastic job. Helen does great waxing jobs as well. She's the owner and works extremely hard and maintains a great relationship with every person who walks through her doors. They're the best. Thanks loves :)
This is my default nail place for the past year. This is definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. Its not fancy-schmancy, but the service, cost, and people are great! I always have Kim do my nails or Helen's husband (owners). For mani/pedi, gel and callus removal it comes to about $35 (?) + tip which is worth it in my opinion. They give you arm/back/leg massage for a few mins with the option to extend to 7 mins for $5. I usually wear shorts, tie my hair in a loose bun and make sure to walk in on Tues/Wed/Thursday when its not so packed. They usually close by 7pm which is the only nail place that I know who will accept walk-in at that hour. Whole thing takes about an hour to hour and a half. There was a time where my toes weren't completely dried and they re-did free of charge. PS. BRING CASH OR PAY ATM FEE! ($2) & park in the bank parking lot
PRO: They have a really large selection of gel colors, the massage they give you is Amaizingggg CONS: First of all this place is super dirty. Did not see them sterilized the tools. They did not greet me My gel was horribly done I asked for gel on my toes and she used regular polish The first color she pit on did not even match my manicure color. I had to tell her to re-do it and I had to get up and look for a matching color. (The colors were WAY OFF) this is what I get for cheating on my girls at signal hill nail salon. Only reason I came here was because my usual place was closed, and I needed them done asap Price was super cheap I paid 33.00 for gel mani and regular pedi BUT iF U ARE LIKE ME AND WILL RATHER PAY MORE MONEY AND GO TO A CLEAN PLACE ... PLEASE DONT COME HERE ... if you are tight on money, this is a perfect place for reasonable prices.
IF YOU WANT NICE NAILS, THEN DON'T GO HERE. I went here to get a mani, pedi, and gel on both my fingers and toes. I have never been so disappointed. I wanted coffin shaped nails and my right hand are literally rectangular. The gel polish on my hands are bumpy. They kept messing up on the top coat. It wasn't drying and it kept getting smudged when they were massaging the cuticle oil on. It took three tries for them to finally get the top coat on well and dried. Above all that, the top coat got all over my fingers. Some sinked underneath my nails and I had to fix it on my own when I got home.

Worse experience ever. Do not go to Kim. She tried charging me 50$ for this HORRIBLE set! I ended up paying 25$ and walking out. I tried to tell the herwhat to fix but she just got irritated and half assed it. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Save your time and money! read more

My nails looked fine when I left although they had, but my manicure didn't last one night. Terrible quality nail polish. It scratched so easily. I was annoyed but let it go. Then my gel pedicure started to peel after less than 3 days. $55 later plus a $15 tip. $70 out the door for a mani pedi that didn't hold up at all. The right thing to do would be to issue a refund. They wouldn't. Won't be back. I would avoid this salon. read more

They were very nice and reasonably priced. However, I got a French gel mani and there are bubbles on EVERY nail. They didn't get the entire nail with the clear gel or the white. My nails were filed unevenly, painted unevenly, and had the old gel removed unevenly. There's a spot of pink under the clear from the last gel color I had. I'm still getting the white gel off my fingers and my nails were stuck to my fingers in a few places. The massages were amazing and they did a pretty good job on my toes. Overall it was a good experience with poor results for my gel manicure. I'd probably go back for the spa pedicure and leg massage. read more

Okay this is my first negative review, but I just had to leave it because my experience was so terrible! The woman doing my manicure was a very polite, plump Viet lady who asked if I wanted a square or round shape for my mani. I told her square, and she filed my fingernails in record time. I was impressed. While she was working on my toes, I examined my nails and was horrified to see that they were all filed with an obvious slant. No wonder she finished so quickly! I brought it to her attention, and she nodded and halfheartedly fixed a few nails, but left the rest. I ended up just (nicely) asking for the emery board, and evened out the rest of the nails myself. The rest of the manicure went well, but the pedicure was where it went awry again. The lady began to glop on the nail polish, and I immediately saw that it was super old. Super old nail polish doesn't go on smooth, it goes on in clumps and leaves behind weird streaks. I tried to notify the lady immediately, but she assured me, "It normal, I will fix." No, it was not normal, and no, she did not fix it. Instead, she continued to glop on the nail polish to the point where it covered the cuticles on some of my toes and even got on my toes itself. She did not bother to remove the excess nail polish, choosing instead to cheerfully announce, "It done, now dry!" and promptly left to help another client. At this point, I look around and see that the other customers around me had their toes separated with tissue and fans placed at their hands and feet to expedite the drying process. I waited to see if my lady would do the same for me. Nope. Just me and my bare feet propped up on a towel covered with nail polish marks. At this point, I didn't even care anymore, I just wanted to get out of there ASAP. I ended up just waving my hands around and blowing on them myself to help dry them. I'll post a photo of my toes so you guys can see. I paid $23 for the whole experience, plus $4 tip because I always tip at least 15%, even though the whole experience sucked. When I got home, I showed my boyfriend my pedicure and he laughed so hard, saying it looked like I "paid someone's kid sister to do this for you." Yup, not coming back here! read more

Please take the reviews seriously! Even after reading the negative reviews I decided to give this place a try because they do dipped nails and I've been wanting to try them out. I made an appointment for Friday July 26th at 5:30 to get my nails done. I show up and they sit me down and the lady started doing my nails. She forgot to file my nails so I had to ask her to do it. The final product of my nails are terrible. I had to ask her to fix them because the sides of my nails were completely bare, no color and she told me she couldn't that day because she had another appointment and to come back the next day after I had paid the $36!!! I was so upset but I needed them fixed. I went back on Saturday the 27th and she "fixed" them. They still looked awful but whatever I was over it and just wanted to leave. She kept saying sorry I'm busy. I understand nail shops are busy but if you're working on a persons nails you should be focused on doing at least a decent job. I didn't plan on returning because of my experience but considering dipped nails are suppose to be sturdy and shouldn't chip so easily I can guarantee I won't be returning after my polish chipped today! I'm so upset. DO NOT GO HERE! The pictures I've added are from today Tuesday the 30th just a few days after getting them done. They look horrible & I'm taking them off now. Waste of time and money. read more

Do not come here!! I wish I had taken the time to read but such short notice so I trusted the stars on yelp too much. I came here because it was open till 730pm on a Friday night so I said why not... worst mistake of my life. I was cut to the point that my thumb is so sore the next day. The owner asked someone to step in and do my cuticles and she hurt me pretty bad, and I'm bleeding all over the place. When I'm telling the owner after she takes over again to finish my nail fill and color change, I let her know my frustration with the fact that it still had not stopped bleeding and how in all my years of getting my nails done that had never happened. she proceeds to get upset at me and say that her co-worker was gentle and that my skin is just too dry so it's my fault. At this point I'm so upset that I tell her to stop and I wanted to leave with unfinished fills and she proceeds to tell me she will be charging me anyways since she already did the service. So I try to again explain that it's frustrating sitting there with her blaming me for having dry skin instead of simply saying sorry and then she offers to discount me 5$ because she said that she already appologized plenty and that she doesnt know what else to do and in my head im like, "no you did not appologize. You proceeded to get offended because i epressed how upset i was..." she would even get upset when id ask her to fix things on my nails because im tellimg her how to do her job and shes been doing nails forever... like yes if you were that great i wouldnt have to go find another nail place today to go repair my huge lumps and dents in my nails.... Because of the 5 off she had offered to dock off from the cuticle trim price settled me long enough to finish my nails. Then when I go to pay she adds the 5$ back on. I shouldn't have even given a tip thinking back. Such a huge mistake coming here. They are shady, rude and do mot know how to do nails properly. I will never be back and I will let anyone know what a terrible service and experience this was. read more
I've only been here once but I'm going to rate them now, I was going to wait until my next few visits because I know some nail places treat you good the first time around and then get lazy. Firstly they share a parking lot well at least they us to. So you have to park on the street. Or at the bank across the st. After I parked my car the guy at the donut shop told me I had to pay him $3 to park my car so I parked down the st. And walked. Soon as I walked in there was a young lady who worked there who just looked at me. So I walked towards someone else and she greeted me and asked what I needed. They were busy but I got seated in the spa chair with in 10mins. My actually pedicure didn't start till 10mins later I didn't mind since I was watching a show on my phone. My pedicure was awesome I wish she polished them better but I got them white and I know it's hard to polish with white so it was ok. I loved my gel manicure and they had so many colors to choose from more than 50 I believe. I also got a free quick foot leg arm hand back and neck massage which I loved. The place isn't to big but it is "long" with plenty of spa chairs. With my pedicure and gel mani I paid a total of $33 and I can't wait to go back in 2 weeks. Oh and I also appreciated the woman who worked there, for walking around and making sure no one parked in the parking lot since the guy at the donut shop will tow you. Also my cat scratched me and messed up cuticle and my nail tech was very careful on not to damage It anymore and still gave me the prefect mani. I also dyed my hair red earlier that morning and my hands were all red and she made sure she got all the hair dye off my hands :) read more

I feel like the picture explains it all but in case it doesn't, this was the worst fill I have ever gotten in my life. I asked for square, I don't even know what shape this is, it seems like every nail is different honestly. Thick, bumpy gel. And mountains of acrylic powder under all my nails. Went right to another salon to get them fixed after I left and I won't be returning. read more
