I got a regular polish manicure. They did warn me that my nails may break and urged me to get gel, so it was partially on me. Further, edges were not well smoothed, there were MANY air bubbles . In addition, the woman that did my nails looked at the lengths and decided it was "good enough" (there was QUITE a visible difference). After four days, I had one nail cracked in the pink part, and 4 more additional broken nails. Due to how much she shaved off + breakage, here is my nail length (1 inch of natural nail that took 2 months to grow gone). Will not come back, or cheat on my nails looked artist again :( read more

Called made an appointment. They took me about 10 minutes after as they were busy. The salon has a restroom, a waxing room, pedicure chairs with massage features, about 8 nail stations and it's sanitary. The only salon who ice seen openly using an autoclave to disinfect their tools. Went in for a gel x set and eyebrow waxing and was out in about an hour. The tech who did my nails was really kind I wish I could recall her name, but she did a great job. Cindy waxed me and I was very happy with my brows. Parking is available at meters out front and around the block. Limited free residential parking and a pay to park lot just behind the business. read more

I thought this place was only ok but because the prices are cheaper than others in the area, I bumped it to 4 stars. I walked in around 3pm and got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure ($46). I was seen immediately and given a box of colors to choose from. One lady did my hands while another did my feet (wish I asked for their names!). They were fast and efficient. We didn't speak much to each other, which was totally fine! It took about an hour. I paid via credit card and left. This place is no frills, and their prices accordingly match it. Don't come here if you're looking for a super luxurious, personable, and relaxing experience, but if you just want your nails to look good and to be in and out, this is the place for you. read more

I got a gel manicure on 7/12 and this is what it looks like today, 7/14. I have been on a business trip so I've done no housework, barely been on my computer, etc. so I've arguably put less wear on them than usual. The manicure itself was very rushed and two cuticles were also completely bloodied on day one. On the other hand, I've had a couple good manicures here in the past too so moral of the story, the place is very hit or miss. If you do come here, my advice is to make note of a nail tech you like and only ask for that person and definitely make note of who you DON'T like and make sure you don't get that person. read more

The staff is great owner is very unwelcoming and after coming here for 15 years I was treated so poorly today we're Victoria refused to service me any further and told me I wasn't welcome back all because my nail had bumps in the gel x process. This was due to the staff not allowing me to wash my hands after buffing my nails and filling. This is no way to be treated , very disappointed won't be coming back Do not wax here the owner double dips the sticks after it touched your skin . Very illegal I always see the owner and manager pouring acetone to the nail Polish which is actually very toxic. They do this so that your nail chips quickly and you return.

I took Mom in today for our regular bi-weekly visit, but there was nothing "ordinary" about my nails today! I had a BIG request for Cindy. A client of mine came in with Insta-gorgeous nails and I wanted a new set of Gel-X in the same style. She professionally and gently removed my acrylics (while I was getting my great gel pedi in the spa chair) and then she proceeded to create the most stunning Winter Wonderland look ever! Even though the salon was super busy, every single nail artist was patient and kind towards all their clients, whether they were walk-ins or long time repeat customers. Thank you ladies! read more

They do a great job with nails here. I've been coming here for the last 5 months or so, and i've been pleased every time--sometimes even shocked with how long the polish lasts on my nails. They do non-spa pedicures at these tables as well for a cheaper price and still the same quality. They put in a plastic covering for all pedicures, great for being sanitary! You can get a color change for $7, a manicure for $12, and a mani-pedi for $23. It's a steal in terms of getting your nails done for the quality they do. I use regular nail polish and it lasts usually about a full week without chipping at all (and I am very active). They use a gel top coat to finish it off without the UV radiation for drying it, which I think helps with not chipping. It is a pretty small nail salon, and not super clean given the building is older. They have 4 spa style seats and then 8-10ish tables for manicures. If you can go during the "working day" it is not busy, but after about 5pm or on the weekend it can be busy and there may be a 20 minute wait. I recommend calling and making an appointment ahead of time if you are going during busier hours. WAXING: They do have a room in the back for waxing. Very affordable pricing especially if you compare it to the specialized wax studios, it can be 50% less here, and they do a good job. Underarms are $10, and the tweeze anything left over. PARKING: There is metered parking out front and on the side street. There is also a public lot behind the salon that charges $1/hour. If you drive further down the side street there is free 2 hour parking by the apartments; however, read the signs because there is street sweeping somedays of the week. The employees are really sweet and if your meter is running out, they will go put money in for you! read more

Nails had dirt underneath them after they were finished, I told her and she cleaned them up, but overall this was one of the least thorough manicures I've ever had. She used silver nail polish instead of rhinestones even after I said I didn't mind that they wouldn't last long. It's just weird silver clusters on my nails now, not the look I was going for at all. I think they look sloppy and uneven. I really regret coming here today. 0 stars. I'm going home and getting the acetone out. read more

I've been wanting to find a different place as the quality of service is no longer worth the price here (the gel polish chips easily), but I was willing to give them another try when I learned that Tina works here and I was excited for the change! Sadly, today was the last day I will be coming. The cuticles on my left, middle finger were cut carelessly and some of the polish was not properly removed. They also now added a surcharge to pay via Venmo. I wasn't able to book Tina today but I recommend her, if you'll be giving them a try. read more

Came here today for the first time and had a terrible manicure. I'm sure if you're a woman they do a good job but as guy, I guess I got different service. When she painted then she missed all the edges and tried to stop after one coat. She would've never gone that bad of a job to a female customer! I even gave her a tip just to be nice and she grabbed it and walked away. No "thank you" or anything. Plus the place is a dump! Dirty and old. People only go here to save $5 on a manicure but I'd rather spend $10 for somewhere clean and nice. read more

The first very nice woman clearly had zero clue how to do dip glitter (which I explained at the front exactly what I was wanting to do, which I have done here before). Cut to two hours later this woman (not her fault, she didn't have the right experience and also couldn't understand what I was saying) had taken a very, very long time to do a semi-simple job. The lovely man who took over for her and completely erased everything she did for two hours was their normal efficiency. But because they didn't have the time, the job is completely botched. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful he did it, but I also did not want to be sitting there for 3.5 hours for something that would have taken the second man 1 hour to do. It's been 3 hours and my nails are peeling. If you can't do something, then don't say you'll do it. Worse yet, if someone spends two hours literally ruining a customers nails - the next person who does it better have the time to fix it correctly, and you should be mindful to make sure it's done correctly. Or say come back some other time? I'm not sure. But what I'm sure of is today was a complete waste of my day, time, probably theirs as well, and I paid full price and got a very poor result. Been coming here for years and not sure I will come back. I adore the guy who jumped and fervently "fixed" a very poor job... but he also very clearly didn't finish it well. And I wasn't happy about sitting through watching the botched job either, so it was never a favor For reference - the mint is what I left with today after 3.5 hours, which is now peeling. And not sparkling. And not properly sealed because the second time around was insanely rushed. The pink/blue/purple was the same glitter in March. Took one of their artists 1 hour at most, stayed for weeks, and wasn't $90. Inconsistent.

Now I am dealing with a deep and painful break in my nail (even with builder gel, which is supposed to make your nails stronger). I learned my lesson and will stick to my usual salon as they care more about preserving your nail health.

She did a great job with the flower design that I wanted. The place is roomy, comfortable and modern. They are located at Palms, CA at the corner of Sepulveda and National. Parking available. I would definitely come back.

It can definitely be hard to find a consistent nail salon that gives high quality services, but Poppy Nails is THE place for that. They genuinely care about your nail health, and take their time with you, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. You truly get what you pay for, and I have never regretted a service here. I could go on and on about every technician and how great they are. You can pick just about anyone for your service and they will absolutely meet if not exceed your standards. I cannot wait to come back and get them done again.

This review is a little overdue. I found laule'a more than 2 years ago by searching specifically…read morefor a Japanese nail salon. Most gel nail places are way too harsh in your nails, and I was looking for a more non-toxic approach. I am not a fan of the soak off removal approach, as my nails become brittle. I was also looking for a salon that didn't do acrylics because of the smell because I was pregnant then. I am happy to say I am a regular, both Kazumi and Aiko are wonderful. My nails have never been healthier and I often get people commenting on the designs. They are super fast and do such great designs, anything you can think of or if you have examples they are very skilled. Their prices are very reasonable for the west side for the quality you get. There is also a small parking lot that's free, another positive for WLA. The inside is super cute and clean, Kazumi has many cute plants and crystals, you will feel relaxed.

I honestly really wanted to like this place. Kazumi is truly an artist in her nail designs. That…read morewas why I took a chance and tried her salon before my wedding. The way she works is very zen-like. She keeps her tools very neatly in one place, she is very resourceful, she is very quiet and smooth with her movements. She took extra time to make sure my nail art was good as it can be. The reason why I give 3 stars is because although she is very talented, she lacks in basic nail skills. Initially I was very happy with my white ombré nails but I noticed my cuticles weren't as smooth as they typically would have been if I had gone to my usual spot. I remember noticing that my cuticles weren't cut and Kazumi told me that cutting cuticles would dry them out more. Sadly, as the day went on I was stressing out and the next day I had to get my cuticles fixed right before of my wedding at another salon. The technician actually told me that my nails "looked terrible." I am sure Kazumi gives great work to other clients, but I was disappointed and I don't know if I will come back. My cuticles aren't always in the best shape (I'm a healthcare worker) but I expect at least they would've been cleaned up better considering the $50+ I spent and the fact that my nails were going to be photographed up close for my wedding.
