    Don't waste your time and money coming here!!!!!! My nails were nothing like the picture I showed them. she didn't cut or pushed back my cuticles. The same lady that told me it was going to be 52 charged me 60 bucks and when I told her you told me 52 she gave me a 2 dollar discount and I ended up paying 58. Wow just wow how are you going to have a certificate on the wall and not know the basic steps of doing nails.

    Gel X with Matt finish. Their work is good, my hands are a mess.

    For the price and wait time, I am very happy with overall experience. But please know I am low maintenance in what I consider as a good job. Still, I think they did a great job. Took their time. Didn't rush. I think the quality and work was up to standard.

    Horrible!!!! I forgot the name of the lady that did my nails I think it's Lauren . She's a little on the heavy side and kind of tall . This was my first time doing my nails since Covid began :( I was really looking forward and it was just so disappointing. My nails are full of bubbles, paint uneven, somehow the paint even wrinkled up . Please don't waste your money here I hope you can zoom in because the pictures really don't do justice

    I have been living in el monte my whole life (near Peck) and have never been to this nail shop . me and my homegirl came here because we just wanted our toes done real quick before going to eat . they honestly did my toes SO NICE and yes i will be back . im a lil broke right now and didn't know what to expect .. but it ended up being a really good price . Regular pedicure for 20 dollars !!! so cute definitely come here if you're a local !

    This is the exact picture I saw on yelp and I had to have them... amazing!

    Anna! She is LEGIT! I went in with having ripped my nails off from TWO yes TWO bad nail jobs... I saw a picture on yelp and decided to give them a try! Anna is amazing! She took her time and her filing was perfect! I never felt rushed and she has a GREAT eye. I am very picky about my nails and she killed it!

    $22 for a fill & gel color

    My coworker recommended this spot to me & told me to see DIANA. I am so glad I did. Their prices are so reasonable & they do a great job. I got a full set with gel nails & it only came out to $28. When I went back for a fill & gel color is was $22. You can't find that price anywhere. Diana really takes her time & looks over her work. I love how she makes sure all my nails are evenly filed and so on. She is such a sweetheart too.

    Kady did my birthday nails.! Very patient and what i wanted butterflies and glitter

    Reviews are helpful to decide where to do business.! Kady did exactly what i asked for.! No ifs or buts or excuses. She was patient and did a great job for my bday nails.! Everything i asked she did i have paid a fortune on simple nails.! But these nails where amazing and not pricey.! For all the techniques and different material she used definitely recommend kady for your ideas or anything u want basically she can make it happen.! Everyone else ia nice there aswell.!

    The day after my manicure. Still red and irritaded, but no longer bleeding at least.

    Ive been coming to this this place on and off for 10 years and it has definitely gone downhill. The facility itself is fine, but the nail techs suck. There are still good manicurist like Diana, Sandy and Ken. But all of the newer people are awful! I've given one woman 3 chances now and it get worse each time. Uneven, chunky gel manicures, polish on my skin, clipping my cuticles so far back they bled for an hour afterwards. This place is amazing for the price if you get the RIGHT manicurist. Call for an appointment with Diana, Ken or Sandy and you'll get an amazing mani pedi for a good price. But don't get one with the other nail techs!!!!

    I showed her exactly how I wanted it and she did it

    Diana was really fast and good at listening what design and shape I wanted for my acrylics (I'm picky with my nails). Her sister does phenomenal designs also. Check the rest of the pics on yelp. On $16 for the full set and $7 for my design.

    She fixed my tumb and pinky!

    Wandered into this spot as I had about 45 min to kill for me to pick up my kid from nearby and…read moredidnt want to go home. I saw this place and went in for a mani pedi. It was empty which made me a little wary but it all worked out in the end. I'd give it a shot if you're around. I would probably call ahead cause they are very short staffed so walk ins may be complicated if they get busy. The services were done well and the ladies were very nice. My nails look good, no issues or red flags with my run of the mill mani pedi.

    I came to remove my acrylic nails. Someone came in after me so they had me soak my nails in acetone…read morewhich is normal but my hands were soaking in acetone for 15 minutes. I have sensitive skin so I would take them out every so often cause my skin was hurting/burning and she kept telling me to put them back in. Well, if you were there to scrap off the acrylics instead of leaving me to do someone else's nails then I wouldn't have to take them out! Finally, she came back to me and cut my nails way too short. Idk who cuts them like this. The owner told my lady to "file it neatly and put oil on it" in Vietnamese. My nails were not filed nearly at all. I'm gonna go home just to cut off the remaining. I still have acrylic powder on my nails too. Also, I'm Vietnamese. I understood everything you said.

    I come in for a manicure and pedicure set, my manicure set was done perfectly but when it came down…read moreto doing my pedicure the service was not great. I specifically asked for a Number 3 which includes exfoliation scrub, along with a 10 min massage and a few extra services but those two are the main ones I will speak upon. So when it came down to doing the scrub the worker with the glasses and orange hair with blue metallic nails she literally only applied scrub on my feet to which I've always known they do the scrub starting from a bit below the knee right down to your feet and she didn't do that at all. And don't get me started on the supposedly "10 minute massage" it ended up being 6 minutes in stead. Once it came down the paying, I politely asked how is a scrub properly done, to which the worker who had done my manicure along with another worker said it's done from the knee to the feet Andi explained to her that it was not done and I never received the so called 10 minute massage. I only asked them to follow through with the number of service people request properly, so they ended up bringing out the worker who did my pedicure and she said everything was done accordingly and I told all three of them at this point to check the cameras and they said no and would give the "exfoliation scrub" off the price to which they didn't since I still ended up paying full price.
