Nails by Kevin. He did an amazing job on my Halloween nails. I LOVE them.
Bernice B.

Very happy with the service I always get here. Kevin has been doing my nails for a long time and I'm never disappointed. HAPPY CUSTOMER

Pedicure service chair protection.

This place is back and open for business. This place has been closed since March of last year. You need to call for appointment to make sure they align with local COVID-19 guidelines. This place has incubated each pedicure service chair for safety. At this moment, they are only taking cash.

Came to get my lashes done (first time ever) and was incredibly happy with the work Linda did. She asked what length lash I wanted but ended up choosing for me since I didn't know which one would be best. She suggested I go short but I expressed concern that they wouldn't be noticeable enough. She put a few in and showed them to me so that I could decide if I liked them or not. For me, short was definitely the way to go because I wanted make sure I could easily deal with them the first time around. My coworker went with a longer, more extravagant look and hers look great as well (and lasted 4 weeks!!!). Quality work for sure... 25 minutes later I came out looking like a whole different person (in a good way)! Hopefully these last at least a few weeks but even if they don't, $20 for lashes is a pretty amazing deal! I will definitely be back! Give this place a try but make an appointment first. I don't think they have a dedicated lash lady so if you're a walk-in, you'll have to wait along with everyone there getting their nails done. And this place gets busy!! Small parking lot in the front but lots more spots available behind the building. It is dark back there and smelled heavily of pot when I left at 8pm... Not necessarily a bad thing, just thought I'd mention it.

Almond shape by Demi

First time with almond shape, and first time customer, was nervous but they came out great! Staff is friendly, courteous and are taking COVID precautions. I will definitely be back!

#602, 3 coats since it's a very light pink

This is my second time coming to Pauline's and I'm very happy with my results. Lani did my manicure both visits and I couldn't be happier. She is very attentive and puts in effort towards her work. My job position requires constant use of my hands and the manicure gel holds up very well. All the employees are very friendly. I've had the luck of walking in during their slow foot traffic, but the wait would be worth it as well. I suggest calling ahead of time and confirming the availability, mention the service you'd like to get done as well. Definitely recommend.

Acrylic set and gel $25
Zelliee F.

The service was nice, i had to wait some minutes but it was reasonable :) the guy there , i think kevin is his name did my nails. There's also a 3 day warranty for my acrylic set & gel PS It was my first time to have my nails done like this so it kind of hurts a little. Let's see the second time. Im pretty sure im coming back :)

This nail place is really good! All though they don't speak very good English they are really nice and enjoy their costumers! Love this place would definitely go here again.

Regular full set - no gel
Michelle A.

I was in the neighborhood waiting on a friend so I decided to try this place out and get my nails done. Nothing special, no shaping or gel - just a good ol regular full set. I was actually impressed with how thorough my nail tech Michael was. He did an amazing job from start to finish. If I'm ever in the area again and need my nails done, this is the spot I'm going. Thank you Michael, you left a great impression!

Perfect length
AnnMarie C.

Nails by Ann! Came out perfect I think the best I've ever had my nails done!!! She makes no mistakes! I asked her for them to be shorter length since my job doesn't allow them to be too long and she did a perfect job! They came out so so beautiful and I'm happy I have a new favorite nail lady!! I'll be back soon! Thank you Ann your work is truly amazing!!

Visited this nail salon a few weeks ago as I took a male family member to get a pedicure and was…read moresatisfied with his results! They cleaned up his nails very well and they were able to take us in on a weekday as a walk in. Price was reasonable and salon was clean. Salon is located in the same location as the vintage McDonalds in Downey near the sizzler side.

I've been coming to Elite Nail & Spa in Downey for over 5 years. It used to be one of my favorite…read moreplaces to go, even though the customer service was sometimes hit or miss. Lately though, the quality has really gone downhill. The products they're using now feel cheap, and my nails don't last nearly as long as they used to. What really pushed me to leave this review was my experience today with Vivian. I walked in since they accept walk-ins, and she immediately told me they were completely booked for the next hour. I asked if I could schedule something for later, and she said no because they were booked. When I tried clarifying what she meant, she got extremely rude and argumentative. We literally went back and forth over something so simple. This isn't the first bad interaction with her either. She's consistently rude, talks badly about customers, and creates an uncomfortable environment whenever the manager isn't there. I eventually matched her energy because of how disrespectful she was being, and suddenly her attitude changed. I've supported this salon for years, but customer service matters. Being told to "make an appointment next time" and then immediately being told they "don't do appointments" made absolutely no sense. I'm disappointed because this place used to be worth coming to.
