75 dollars...First time with this man today, he wears glasses and had a barca sweater on. He did everything but what i asked for. He was really really rough, he packed on so much acrylic and nail polish, i absolutely hate them. read more

Came in here on a whim. They have one of those "menus" to ask what you want. So I look at the menu and pick my service. The place was clean and quiet. My nail technician didn't have much to say, and the manicure and pedicure was average. I think a GOOD hand massage will make or break a manicure. It's important and feels great! I will say this, it was a Monday and most women know, Sunday and Monday's are the days the BEST nail techs are off. So will I give it another try? Of course. Why? My boyfriend lives walking distance from here. So the chances of needing a mani and pedi while being over his place is high. I'll just try to avoid Monday's. This place is cash only. They have one of those portable ATM's that charge you a fee to subtract money. Sucks not all places use cards. read more

Not happy with service at all. I would rather you tell me you can't do something then to lie and "bullshit" me on what I asked for. Now I will admit, my feet were not the best looking when I walked in (hence why I was there & why I always make sure to tip my nail tech. it's work. I get that) but I know what my feet look like when they are done properly and what I walked out of that place with was nothing less then ridiculous and on top of that my damn nail tech. Kept cutting me. I didn't find it funny after the third time but did she apologize, you bet she DIDNT. What's worst is even when you clearly see your client unhappy, nothing changes. When your client TELLS you what he or she wants YOU DO NOT PROCEED TO TELL SAID CLIENT " WE CANT DO THAT BECAUSE" OR "THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT" ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ASKED AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE SERVICE FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE PARTICULARLY... Safe to say this establishment will no longer service my nails again. read more

My nails started breaking off a week after i got them done and thats because they kept messing up the gel nail polish and had to keep scrapping it off. Not the color I wanted, I wanted halo purple (2 step nail color) and this is what I got. They kept messing up and wouldn't tell me the problem I had to keep asking cus i was tired of sitting there for 2 hours! The shape is ugly and my thumbs length doesn't match, No apology and was charged 94 dollars, I also got a pedicure no complaints on that. This place used to be my favorite but this is the second time they mess up. Last time I got a horrible pedicure by a old rude Asian man. read more

I'm giving 2 stars cause the guy who did my nails did an AWESOME job ! However they are highly unsanitary. I cannot emphasize how unsanitary this place is. Specially during this pandemic you think businesses would take extra precautions to ensure customer safety. This place did the total opposite. I came here because it's nearby and I didn't want to drive to Palos Verdes to regular nail spot. I loved how my nails came out, but super unsanitary. read more

I read the reviews before I went but it was convenient because I needed to run to Ulta, Target, Starbucks and Marshall's so I went in. I'm sorry fellow Yelpers, I didn't trust y'all, will you forgive me? I apologize, I hope we good from here forward. These people are real nice and friendly, the vibe was good, I felt welcome but my nails looked like I did them tipsy, like I was on one. I got gel and it's spotty and just sad. I will admit though the manicure was decent, my cuticles were unruly and I had a few hang nails so the technician did smooth them out without cutting the skin too much. My spa pedicure was good though, my feet needed the attention and he removed some calluses and feet were squeaky clean and smooth so overall it wasn't a total loss. It's a cash only operation, who doesn't take cards or Apple Pay these days, ion like that so I don't think I'll be a repeat customer. One thing I still tipped 20% real talk technicians don't make much and they were elderly we are compassionate people don't let anyone or anything harden your heart, I'm gone... read more

I would never come here again, the first time my gel set the color was peeling off. I went the next day and they didn't want to fix it. I went another time because I just wanted to fix one nail, the guy literally told me to sit down saw my nail color and said we don't have that color I said it was fine I can either leave it like that or paint it black. He didn't say anything then he asked me where did I get my nails done I told him and he said maybe you should go there. I thought that was rude. Then I had another experience with waxing my eyebrows, she literally burned me I have a mark on one side of my eyebrow. And it's been a year and that mark is still there. DO NOT COME HERE!!! read more

This place is amazing I just don't get tired of saying it Johnny is the guy to go he always listens to what I have to say and always always does a great job. I have been going there almost a year and the few extra bucks is well worth the quality. I kiss them very much can't wait for them to reopen to get a mani and a pedi. Definitely going to recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

Nice place, really clean I've been here about 5 times and my nails come out okay and nail polish last for a while( gel manicure /acrylic nails) . No long wait times. Only bad thing is they are CASH ONLY! Totally recommend; prices are OK not too pricey-not too cheap! I paid $25 for a gel manicure (girl cleaned my nails [without cutting me, YAY! ] took her time to put on gel nail Polish nice and neat , and massaged my hands at the end ). Over all good service will be coming back! read more

THE BEST PLACE! I can not express how much I love this place. I've been here for years and seen how great these technicians are. I have also seen how some customers have twisted their words. Don't be overwhelmed by the NEGATIVE reviews. Overall, I totally recommend this place. Tina is the best! read more

Came here 45 minutes before closing and I was so grateful they took me for a fill and pedicure! The man who did my pedicure was amazing, but I can't say the same about the one who did my fill. I got my fill less than a week ago and they're already lifting even though they look brand new because there's no growth! My pinky nail completely lifted and now I have to go to another salon to get it fixed, and I just noticed my pointer finger is about to start lifting as well because he applied the acrylic practically on my skin and it didn't bond to my nail. It's ridiculous that my nails are acting like I've had them on for 3 weeks when I have only had them 5-6 days. I almost forgot to mention he kept cutting me with that drill while doing my fill too, and on top of that they only take cash... in 2019. read more

The guy that attended my mom was really rude did not listen to my mom. She wanted her nails oval and he did them squared she repeated it 3 times and still did them squares and also when my mom was telling him that she wanted them short he kept telling her ok ok ok like wanting her to shut up. I absolutely don't recommend this place my mom is paying him for a reason. read more

This is the worst by far. My nails are starting to come off and I don't even have a week with them. It was expensive for no gel. SMHH.

I personally focus on the work being performed, and I love it! I always get what I want how I want it and it's a fair price in my opinion.

Too expensive! I got the basic gel mani full set & gel pedi for $66! NO DESIGN NO DIAMONDS ANYTHING! Do not recommend!

I went to the on in Compton on A lame a in the shopping center next to Target and I will never go again because the man who did my nails didn't do what I ask for and just really,really did e do a great job on my nails. He act like he didn't want to do my nails like okay I'm just do it. Then after he did them,he didn't ask if k wanted any design or anything on my nails the last person who did my nails there was really nice and he ask if I want any designs on my nails because it was around my birthday that time so he gave a beautiful design on my nails last year for my birthday. But this man who was there on Tuesday, February 15th was not friendly I will not come back to him again. Because been charged 46$ then an extra $6 for a design he'll no never again. read more

This is the cleanest nail shop in Compton. But that's about it. Haven't found a nail tech that really impressed me here but I can't stand sitting in some of the other dirty shops that I've tried in the city ‍ read more

First who charges $15 for a manicure? My usual place does a combo spa pedicure/manicure $25. secondly so many cheap polishes. A nary OPI in sight. I was very annoyed at the fact they were cleaning where I got my pedicure while they were finishing my manicure. Since I was the only person in there it was unnecessary.Oh Red Persimmon, you used to be such a great place to go. Never again! read more

I absolutely love this salon!! Johnny and his staff are always so nice. They do an amazing job always. I have been going there for years and I have never had any problem. Love, love, love this salon. read more

First time here, And I'm glad I came here because I'm in love with my nails. It is imperative to have my nails done just right. I asked for Mimi because of the positive reviews she has received. She was quick an A plus. See you soon Mimi. God bless!! read more

New place to get my nails done. The staff is very friendly, and speaks English very swell. The manager is a softee, but runs a hard business. I would challenge even the toughest guy to come and get his nails done here, and not feel like a creampuff when they get through with him! :P read more

Getting a pedicure. Bros, you must take care of your feet. You use them everyday. I got the pedi and callus removal and mannnnnnnn my feet fell better. I strive to do them at least 1x per month. The massage chair was comfy as well. Good work. Prices were fair also. read more

I arrived as a walk in but since they didn't except credit cards I made an appointment for the following day. Before leaving I asked if they "knew" how to do gel nails, he said yes. I also asked who would do them and he said they have three people. A little skeptical about that since I was making an appointment but agreed to return the following day. When I arrived I gave my name, the guy looked in the book and said yes, mani pedi. No! I told him the previous day I wanted gel nails which they confirmed they could do @ a $25 rate. Fine, I had already priced another place in Manhattan Beach for the same cost. I didn't appreciate him trying to up sale. When you go in for any kind of pampering/beautifying service you don't want to deal with BS. I sit down and the technician brings over a bowl of soapy water and sits down. She looks at my nails, ask if I was getting gel nails! Yes. She then ask if I want file or cut. Definitely a light file! I'm very clear about what I want. She okays that and since she didn't ask how I wanted my nails shaped I figured she would follow my current pattern. smh, nope! She grabbed the lowest grit file and jumps on my pinky. I snatch my finger away and remind her "self" that I want a "light" file. She says she quaring them. Who wants quare nails when they come with gelled curved nails. Dumb. Then she begans to file the top of the gel to remove it. I say, "Sorry but you don't know what your doing but you will want my money after I let you mess up my nails." I walk out but I glance at the man and he is fuming pissed and I smirk. I'll spend my money where I'll be understood and not treated like a number. read more

I have been living in Compton for 8 years and had never been to this shop until 3 years ago. I was a walk in, and then became a regular. I have always been friendly with everyone including Johnny the owner. My friend was in the shop and witnessed Johnny cursing at one of his associates. That is disrespectful, and should in no form be tolerated. From my understanding this is not the first time. I was there one day and he told an employee to "get the fuck out of here!" Who does that??? That is not the way to run a business nor anyway to speak to another person especially an employee of yours. read more

Went in at noon, and left in less than an hour :) Johnny was the guy that did my nails, also the manager, and he was just incredible! Asked me what I wanted, and worked with achieving what I wanted. They don't have color powder, which is what I'm used to. But he offered colored tips and it worked wonderfully. :) I got peach tips with strawberries on them at medium length with gel. And I love them!! I asked if anyone was watching the channel 7 news, if not, could they put on channel 2 to watch the USC vs Georgia tech game, and he did so, without making me feel like I was putting him out of his way. Made good conversation, And just a pleasant experience over all! Definitely affordable, paid a fraction of what I normally pay for the same service. And I would definitely be back! :) read more

This place is reasonable as far as price range, and of course its clean too. There not as clean as when they first started. They used to use new disposable nail file and buffers but i guess they did that because it was new. Now there like whatever and that's why i bring my own pedi kits. Any ways i consider this a decent place and convenient because its close to the Compton shopping center and because the owner is always on hand to deal with issues and the staff is always friendly. Cash only here but they have an ATM inside there shop for those who only use debit or credit like me ;) read more

If I could give 0 I would! Came in for gel manicure, reg pedicure for both me and my daughter! My daughter wanted french tip with red and got white french tip on her toes. I was pleased with how hers looked but it lasted only a few days. POOR QUALITY! I got a gel manicure, red for new years. And French tip toes with a design. The toes came out nice but the design was ugly. But we were in a rush. No nice massage before they painted for my feet or hands, only after and just on my legs, the lotion was freezing! ! And it was a quick one 2 your done! The gel manicure looked awful!!! Extremely poor quality, to top it off it was done by using a dirty pillow for me to put my hands on. NASTY! PLUS THEIR TOOLS LOOK DIRTY! I WILL NOT BE BACK! Big mistake coming here instead of my regular spot, a little far but way better service and quality and it's cheaper! read more

I thought since this place is always busy when I pass by it, it would be a great place to get my nails done. For the $31 that I had to pay, this was a crap job. As the lady was doing my nails, I repeatedly told her that they looked crooked and she kept insisting that they weren't. As she finished up my nails, looked at them, and they were crooked. She didn't apply much nail polish seeing as how you can see through the top of the nail when you put them up in the sunlight, and she left air bubbles on the paint job! read more

Nice people but they did a terrible job on my pedicure and full set. The girl who did my pedicure ripped out my cuticles so much that I was bleeding nonstop and she had to soak my toe in alcohol for 10 minutes before continuing my pedicure. It's been a couple hours now and my toe is still bleeding. For my full set my nails came out so crooked. I'm never coming here again. read more

I've been going to this place ever since they were in Carson on Central Ave. Fast service and the owners know me and my mom since I have been coming here for a while. However, I just wasn't satisfied with my most recent visit. I showed the guy a picture of the nail design I wanted and aside from not having the design material (I wanted foil lines on two of my nails and he said they didn't have that), he drew the lines and they were crooked so I had to make him do it over. Ugh! I was pressed for time or I would have gone somewhere else. This is not the first time they were unable to do a design because they didn't carry the material. If they don't step their nail game up, they will lose customers! read more
