Tin and his wife are amazing! My mom is 95 and they've brought so much joy by coming to her house and doing her nails. They are professional & sanitary which is very important since my mom is a diabetic. I would highly recommend Tin for all your nail needs inside and out side the salon. read more

PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE -- EVERY SINGLE TIME! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Onyx Nail Lounge in Uptown Whittier isn't just a nail salon -- it's a hidden gem that deserves to shine in Whittier! I've been meaning to write this review for a while because this place truly goes above and beyond in every possible way. I've been coming here for over four years now, and my nail technician, Tyn, is simply the best in the business. His passion, precision, and pride in his work show every single visit. The amount of care he puts into this salon is unmatched -- I mean, how many owners do you know who personally clean and organize the polish sample books? He's a total clean freak (in the best way possible!) and every single tool is autoclaved first -- that's next-level cleanliness and professionalism. Tyn's team is equally amazing. Vivian and Myle are absolute stars when it comes to pedicures. Myle is a total pro at handling ingrowns, and Vivian -- always in her heels and rocking the best outfits -- is my go-to for the perfect French tip toes. She's so detailed and precise, it's art. What makes Onyx even more special is the energy. It's always full of laughter, good vibes, and genuine care. You walk in and immediately feel comfortable and welcomed. Last month, my family and I had a private party there, and Tyn and his team had everything perfectly set up before we even arrived. They're punctual, organized, and a total blast to be around. A special shoutout to Tyn's brother-in-law (I think it was Juan or Jose, forgive me if I got it wrong!) who helped with our foot massages that day. He was amazing -- so friendly, professional, and attentive. He constantly made sure we were comfortable and relaxed. You can tell he's learning from the best! Tyn, you and your team truly make Onyx Nail Lounge a place of joy, relaxation, and pure excellence. Thank you for always taking such great care of us and for making every visit a fun, pampering experience. We love you, Tyn -- and we're so grateful to have Onyx as part of our lives. - Sofia y Linda read more

This review is long overdue! I have been getting my nails done at Onyx Nail Lounge for 2.5 years now. I had tried a few different salons that were nice, but it wasn't until I first came to Onyx that I knew I found the perfect nail salon for me! The salon is cute and clean. There is a big parking lot right across the street, so parking is a breeze! Refreshments are provided. Great vibe and they always have good music videos playing. They take their time to make sure my nails come out looking great every time. Everyone is friendly especially Tyn, the owner. He always goes above and beyond to make sure his clients have a great experience while visiting the salon. He always has my nails looking amazing! I come in every 3 weeks for a fresh gel x set and pedicure. The spoil me pedicure is a must! As a mom of 2, I love coming here to relax. There is no other salon I would trust with my nails! read more

Beware their new policy. I notice the last review here was posted two months ago. I've been a pretty loyal customer and have coming here for almost 5 years. Looks like they've recently changed their policy - and charge for removal of old gel polish on your toes before reapplying. Gotta say, I've never in my life had to pay for the old gel to be removed before the new one was applied. Gel color not acrylics, on my toes, never once paid to have it removed before new color was applied. You live and you learn. I just wanted to share before you try to get charged for what you thought was included in your service already. --- Edit: Since the owner responded, I want to clarify a few points for accuracy. I did initially choose the higher pedicure package but changed my mind after noticing a blister. I spoke with the tech, agreed to pay for the callus removal that had already been done, and switched to the regular pedicure. That should have been $30 for the pedicure, $10 for gel, and $5 for callus removal -- a total of $45. At checkout, I was charged $55. The only part of the more expensive package I received was the $5 callus removal, so the higher charge didn't make sense. I'm sharing this not to argue but to help other loyal customers understand how charges can add up under the new system and to encourage clearer communication about pricing before services start. What's frustrating is that this "extra fee" for gel removal has never been charged before . it felt random and only explained afterward. The owner even told me on the phone she'd "make an exception this time," as if she were doing me a favor. That's not the issue. The issue is that pricing should be clear and consistent before the service, not adjusted after the fact. Transparency isn't optional. it's part of running a trustworthy business. It was also disappointing to see the owner's public response take a defensive tone rather than simply acknowledge the misunderstanding, especially after assuring me on the phone that she'd make an exception this time. Professionalism matters, even when customers raise concerns. The message below lies and says I was being charged 50, not 55 which I was, and omits any details about their policy re polish removal. I also couldn't get a straight answer on the phone- do they charge for polish removal when I am getting another pedicure? There's no transparency or honesty and honestly the message below was extremely petty. Btw when I went in on a Saturday afternoon it was completely empty. I won't be returning and anyone reading this should consider if they value a business that is trustworthy and transparent read more

Tyn always surprises me with his work. Best Nail Tech ever, every time my nails come out amazing. When I need to be extra or some times not. This place is Amazing. Very welcoming and the Techs are amazing. They always ask you before even doing anything. It's not like other places you get charge a big bill and you don't even know what you're paying for. Here they're upfront there's never a surprise. Love this place. Come and check it out. read more

Absolutely loved my nails and the nail tech--her name was Kimberly, I think. She was new but so patient and kind! I came in with a Pinterest inspo, but she didn't have the exact color. I was nervous to switch it up, but she created her own version--the "Kimberly edition"--and I was OBSESSED. She really cared about making me happy and not just settling. We also had a great convo about life and her son. I left so grateful. Sometimes you won't get the exact look you imagined, but trust the process--let artists create. She nailed it! read more

Honestly if I could give Onyx Nail Lounge about a million more stars I would. That's how amazing this salon is. The vibe is just amazing. Tyn is super chill and funny.

"Stat!" I needed "10 cc's " of a clean, relaxing and profanity free, professional nail experience. 10 out of 10!! A nail salon is a personal treat, a way to self care. I appreciate hearing from one of the technicians that this nail salon has a policy of "Unrushed Excellence". That was my experience. An amazing stiletto gel fill while Tin educated me about caring for my nails to ensure they stayed in tip top shape. He even makes (and applied) a signature cuticle oil. Two weeks later and people are still asking me who does my nails) I am grateful that my friend recommended Onyx nail salon to me. Although I have had the same nail tech in LA for over ten years. The drive was too much. As a realtor (Century 21) I think I would say, I found my nails a home. Thanks Ovyx Nails of Whittier, I can't wait to return and I also enjoyed your spa next door that offers massage, facials, safe weight loss options and more! read more

The services provided are amazing! I came in for a fill and pedicure. After learning about the benefits of Gel X and all the benefits it provides my nail I chose to try it. Wow! My nails feel natural and look forward to improving my nail health. Also the minute you walk in you are welcomed with a smile and the environment is truly an A+ outstanding!! I chose the spoil me pedicure and am so glad I did! My feet are so soft and the massage you get while all this is getting done is the best! I'm so happy to have come in today! Come in & experience the ONYX!! Thank you for the great service!! read more

Get the SPOIL ME pedi. You won't regret it. I've been coming here for years. This pedi has always been so worth it. Comes with hot stone massage, scrub, hot clay oil, callus removal, lavender soak, rose petals.... I'm probably missing some stuff but I honestly just zone out and relax for an hour on average and take it all in. On occasion I get gel mani that always come out good and it last a lot longer than other places I've gone to. The service is always great. I really appreciate the small waters or drinks they hand out. The music videos and decor inside are always fun to look at. read more

I loved the experience. I played hoodie from work and decided to treat myself. Tyn the owner very welcoming and he even painted my design on my nail. The only thing I didn't like was that I was getting a pedicure and a manicure at the same time and the guy working on my feet didn't get my ingrown nail because I was busy i pain with the hot stones on my arm. I couldn't tell the guy to cut it, also, I wasn't sure he knew that he had to check because his English wasn't good. I just let it go. Next time I'm going to request to have them done separately. I did get a pedicure spa package for my bf the next day for his bday pampering. He liked it, Tyn took care of him. I highly recommend for pampering yourself and that special someone here, obviously they work on guys too. read more

I highly recommend this nail spa. The nail tech who worked on me (Tyn) was super nice and helped me pick out the best types of nails I should get. He came highly recommended. I had posted on my social media asking for help with a new nail place, and the majority said onyx nail lounge but with Tyn. So i called and booked my appointment with a texting option. TALK ABOUT MODERN. he also managed to get me in quickly, but I can't guarantee that for every walk in. He recommended gel-x nails, and they came out perfect from shape to design. The place was very clean, smelled nice, and looked very pleasing. The music videos are awesome and diverse and not overbearing, and I was able to relax and enjoy my time. See you soon, ONYX team!!! read more

Tim and his team always show up for their customers. I switched from Acrylic to gel x. Process was well done, and very gentle. Vibe is great.

Ice Tea and beautiful energy icing on the cake. read more

Everytime I come the guy in the front is not very welcoming. The wait is always so long even when making an appointment and I felt my service was rushed through. I left unhappy with my pedicure and had to file and shaped them up myself when I got home because the lady did them so sloppy and polish wasn't even put all the way to the nail beds. Don't recommend this spot! read more

Came here for the mother's day special. What a great experience! They have an amazing selection of books in the waiting area, which are curated by Bookeeping Focus. I thought it was a nice touch. The gentleman who may be owner was super polite and was able to get me seated right on time. Kim worked on my gel pedicure and Mary on my gel manicure. The special included wax foot treatment and hand treatment. Water had rose petals and sparkles. I was also welcomed with a glass of peach champgs. The women were absolutely amazing and very welcoming. Customer service was on point and the mood was lovely and lively. I was thankful to come here. It's located in beautiful uptown Whittier so after that I had the pleasure to browse around the shops. read more

I rarely get pedicures, but I really wanted to do something that felt splurge-y and indulgent for myself for my birthday. I checked the other reviews on Yelp and this place had a good combo of positive reviews and convenient location. I called to see if they had walk-in availability and was given an appointment time about 1.5 hours in the future. I arrived a bit early and was seated right away. The massage chair was a bit too aggressive, but they gave me the remote for it and it's my own fault I couldn't figure it out. The tech handed me a sheet with the various pedicure options and asked which one I wanted. I asked for clarification between the top two offerings (I really wanted something luxurious) and the man at the front (the owner, I believe) did not try to upsell me at all and suggested the less expensive option, which I went with. There were a lot of steps in this pedicure. I don't recall the exact order, but there was a soak, nail and cuticle attention, some kind of plastic wrap thing that dissolved the callouses on my feet and they were subsequently filed off (I felt like apologizing for the sheer amount of dead skin I had no idea my feet were holding onto), a mask, a scrub, a lotion, hot towels on my legs, hot stone massage, paraffin, and nail polish. I really love the way my nails look and how my feet feel. The atmosphere was clean and bright, everyone there was friendly. I saw a parent and child come in and get mani/pedis and they were great with the kid, so I would say it's a child-friendly place. They have two large TVs on the wall, one on Netflix and one showing a variety of international music videos. They also have a little fridge and offered me a little water bottle. I can't believe the amount of stuff that was done to my feet for the relatively low price I paid. I recommend this nail salon. My feet are very happy. I would post a picture, but even (maybe especially) pretty feet are probably best left offline. read more

I went back to this place and they went above and beyond. If you want to get your toes done please go with queen. She the best the owners where so sweet made sure that it was done right read more

Such a lovely experience at this place -- the atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxing. I'm absolutely obsessed with how my nails turned out! The color is vibrant, flawless, and exactly what I envisioned. The attention to detail was next-level. I left feeling pampered and so happy with the results. Highly recommend! read more

The best nail salon in Whittier! I have been coming here for my nails and toes for 2 plus years since Tyn have taken new ownership. No other place compares with the attentive and friendly service that Tyn or should I say Mr./Sir NAILZ provides. The polish that he uses is gentle on my natural nails, the salon is super private (one on one feeling), and overall a positive and relaxing environment. The Onyx team are all welcoming and are always having fun either singing to music videos or making sure you are well taken care of from getting you water or refreshments upon your arrival. It's the little things for me that always counts. Good job Onyx TEAM. I have gotten everyone about now but the one that stands out for me would be John he is also be a massage therapist too. Thank me later :) The place, itself is bright, spotlessly CLEAN , and has a fun vibe also the first salon to have its doors closed during the summer. yes folks they actually turn on there AC. The owners are both perfectionist, you will never have a better mani/pedi when it comes to there top notch management. Tyn is not only a nail artist but also a therapist, and I believe the best customer care you will come to love and appreciate. Plus they have a texting answering machine which is very convenient for me. I Highly recommend ONYX NAIL LOUNGE in uptown Whittier all my friends and family come here now! read more

This is hands down my favorite nail place! The environment is always super fun, upbeat, and welcoming.

My favorite neighborhood nail salon. First off, Yelp rezzy and communication, 5 stars!! Second, the attention to detail from beverages/snacks to foot scrub/massage, 10/10!! Last but not least the retention and durability of my Gel X. I went rock climbing, paddle boarding, swimming, bike-riding in Tahoe with my nails, and these babies stayed on. The color, the shape, and the Extension LASTED through all my crazy outdoor activities and y'all I am pretty reckless running and bumping into things. I'm going 2 weeks now and I'm still satisfied with my nails!! Thank you thank you for your amazing customer service and excellent quality of products and service read more

First time I came to this salon is was amazing. This past time not so much :( not even a week later and my nails are falling off and lifting. Each nail was a different shape and size and my nail tech didn't paint down to the cuticle so they already looked a week old the day I walked out of there. UPDATE!! The salon owners contacted me and asked me to come in for a new gel manicure on the house. I'm really appreciative of their customer service and they did an amazing job this time around. Very happy with the outcome read more

My first time visiting this salon and I'm in love. I had an appointment at 5:30pm and waited about 10 minutes, not too bad. It was busy when I walked in on this Good Friday. Izabella asked me how hot I liked the water for my pedicure beforehand, kudos to her. She's a great manager and provided excellent customer service. Tina was my tech, she did a beautiful job and didn't rush. I liked that they weren't in a rush to do the job. I paid an extra $10 for a scrub, parrafin and massage. Totally worth it. I think I found my new nail salon. I recommend making an appointment. read more

Went to onyx nails on a recommendation from a friend. The staff is friendly, especially the man in the front. I got Gel X and paid 80 dollars for no design, just color. My friend said she paid $65 for the same thing. There was no manicure before, and I had to ask her to cut my cuticles after. Not sure why the pricing was different. Overall the nails look good. I wish they would gave a manicure before applying the set. Update. Got my nails done on the 22nd and they already popped off a week later. read more

Went here a couple times, the last time I went was last year. I really liked the owner who worked on me the first time, he was great. The following time I returned I ended up needing to be treated for fungus which later resulted to actually be eczema. Whatever was used in their shop triggered some sort of reaction in my body. My husband also came with me to get a pedicure, his first at this location and last. It's quite pricey, the workers are focused on getting you out fast, and actually ended up hurting my husband making his cuticles bleed and cutting his nails too short. I wanted to like it, I loved it the first time, after out last visit, we never returned. read more
