You have to come in for them to see how small your nails bed are and they can tell you what they can do because some people have different look at their nails. When you said you have small nails bed but what if it's not that bad.

No rush, no attitude, just quality. Yes, prices have gone up a bit (where haven't they?), but you absolutely get what you pay for. They actually take their time, and when you're done, your hands and feet feel brand new. That alone keeps me coming back. You can make an appointment, but walk-ins are welcome, which makes it perfect for those "I need this today" moments. The vibe is super laid back, and honestly one of my favorite parts is that I always end up chatting and meeting new people while I'm there. It feels more like a little community than just a service spot. Pro tip: Come on a Sunday or mid-week if you want smooth in-and-out service without the wait. This is one of those places you'll regret sleeping on once everyone catches on.

I specifically asked for a soak-off because I didn't want my natural nails more damaged, but the technician was rough, kept trying to pry the acrylic off, and didn't even remove it all what a waste of money. Every paying customer deserves good service, regardless of how small the service is because i didn't have time for a full pedi today and was going to return tomorrow. It's unfortunate because every other experience was great, but after being treated this way over a simple acrylic removal, I won't be returning.

I've been coming here for about 2 years & it's always a great experience. I live in New Orleans but am from El Cajon & visit fairly regularly. I always make a point to come & get a pedicure and sometimes a manicure too, because they do such a great job, it's so clean, & they have so many technicians they can always fit you in for an appointment. Recently, my mother's trusted nail technician retired so i brought myself, my sister & my mother to Ooh La La. it was such a good experience for everyone, it will now be my mother's "regular" salon. Lisa (the owner?) is so helpful, sweet & caring, i cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks for always being so wonderful! read more

Overall, I am very happy with my experience. I love finding little hidden gems and this place was definitely it. It was also very extremely clean which was so great to see.
