Coffin French tips with Gel
Rachel G.

Kevin is the best! I don't mind waiting when I know his nails last me so long!! I've been doing my nails for 12 years and been to many salons and for the first time I found my place! Kevin's nails never lift on me! I can have a set last me 3-4 weeks before needing fills. Pictured is a fill** I've never had a nail tech leave my fills looking flawless especially because I only like French tips! Love this place also recommend any of the techs for pedicures

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

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 :)

Pedicure service chair protection.
René S.

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.

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.

My mint emerald sparkle nails

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!!

I originally left a review for this place years ago because I was a loyal customer and had been…read morecoming here since 2019. Unfortunately, over the years, my experiences with the staff have gotten progressively worse. I eventually stopped coming due to health issues, but also because of the way I witnessed them treat not only me, but my mom, my sister, and other customers. I understood that appointments were necessary, and when I did make appointments, I was sometimes treated fairly. However, I repeatedly witnessed the way other customers were spoken to and treated, which ultimately made me decide to take my business elsewhere. Yesterday, I decided to give them one last chance, and unfortunately, my experience confirmed why I had stopped coming. I walked in without an appointment, and the salon was essentially empty. I understood there was one customer being serviced, so I expected there might be a wait. I asked Vivian if I could get a Gel-X set and a pedicure. After talking amongst themselves, I was told there would be about an hour wait. I said that was completely fine and that I would come back. I noticed they closed at 7 PM, and they told me to come back around 6:30 PM. Because I have personally experienced being rushed when getting services close to closing time, I politely asked, "Are you sure that's a good time? I don't want you to feel rushed, and I don't want to feel rushed either." Instead of simply reassuring me or suggesting another time, Nancy responded, "Well, don't come then." That comment was completely unnecessary and, honestly, was the final straw for me. I simply walked out. A few minutes later, I called Vivian, who I believe is the owner, to explain how rude and disrespectful. I told her that the comment was unnecessary and she stayed quiet. What makes this especially disappointing is that this place used to be so nice and welcoming. I remember when the staff genuinely seemed to care about their customers. Unfortunately, based on my past experiences, what I have witnessed with other customers, and the recent experience, it feels like customer service is no longer a priority. These were supposed to be my birthday nails, which made the experience even more disappointing. I used to come here for my birthday every year, so it honestly meant something to me to continue that tradition. But after yesterday, I know I won't be returning. I ended up going to a new place in Pico Rivera called Glossie Nail Spa. I explained what I wanted, they welcomed me as a walk-in, offered me a margarita, and walked me through the entire process. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and genuinely made me feel like a valued customer. I will definitely be taking my business there moving forward. I don't normally leave negative reviews, especially for a business I supported for so many years, but loyalty should go both ways. After being a customer since 2019, I expected to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience this time.

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.
