Stopped by Relaxation Nails for a quick gel mani-pedi and had such an efficient, pleasant experience! I was short on time and really appreciated that I was in and out within an hour -- perfect for a busy schedule. Mary did my gel French tip manicure and was precise, gentle, and detail-oriented. Linh handled my French tip gel pedicure and made the experience relaxing while still moving efficiently. Pricing was straightforward and fair for the quality: * $50 -- French tip gel manicure * $60 -- French tip gel pedicure The salon was clean, organized, and well-run, and the team clearly values both quality and time efficiency -- which is honestly rare. If you're looking for a quick, polished mani-pedi without sacrificing results, this spot delivers. I'll definitely be back! read more

If this place went out of service it would be doing El Segundo a favor. The workers here are absolutely awful. I can't believe how rude everyone was. My sister decided to come here to get her homecoming nails done and even though they close at 8 she came a little before 7 and they were so rude to her it makes my skin boil. These "professional" adults were so beyond disrespectful I can't even put it into words. She asked for gel x, and they gave her a dip powder. It was so uneven and lumpy and because she is still young she was afraid to say something especially after they started off by treating her so poorly. After finally speaking up they told her no refunds and there's nothing they can do and next time don't make an appointment so close to closing time. HOW DARE SHE! Please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and DO NOT COME HERE! Tell everyone you know how DISGUSTING this trash nail salon is. They took advantage of my poor sister because she was alone and young and made her even pay the full amount of the service before they started anything. She showed the inspo picture and they made her paid and then did the shit job they did. It did not tell her it was a deposit fee or anything just charged her. This placed deserves to be closed down. This lady should NOT be in charge And the sad part is you HAVE to leave 1 star to make a review. This place deserves nothing. And no Peter I will not remove my review because it's the truth and sorry you're trying to hide that from the people but that's what yelp is for. I don't appreciate you trying to lie and say you guys tried to "gladly" fix it because the lady in charge was RUDE and said no refunds and that my sister should have spoken up earlier and not come so late even though you close at 8. If you have the recordings then send them to me because I would love to be proven wrong. Because in that recording you'll see my sister having to pay before the service. So you stop spreading false info. Own up to your horrible workers mistakes and fix it. The picture stays up because everyone should avoid her and this place because you guys are all disrespectful. We will also post to other social media platforms to really get people to not come here. read more

My little sister got her nails done for homecoming and asked for the inspo pic but as acrylic almonds. They ended up using dip powder and did the nails lumpy, very lazy job. I took my sister back in the next day the manager was very rude and said that she doesn't do refunds. She yelled at my sister for coming in at "7" when she was the one who said she was available and took her in? Mind you, she was yelling at a 15 year old? I don't care what any person is, you don't disrespect any costumer. She also made my sister pay before doing her nails, so she had no choice. Very rude management and very rude customer service read more

Relaxation Nail Spa - They even fixed my husband's deformed nail that he smashed in the car door. And gave it a festive look! - Nail Salons Near Me - El Segundo, California

I really loved this place. I don't do gels, and I primarily get manicures and pedicures to take care of my cuticles and shape my nails. This is one of the best places I've been to in years for cuticle care. They also surprised me by giving me a great food massage, no up charge. I will definitely go back. read more

I did a spa mani and pedi. Both ladies were amazing. Very thorough and it all felt great. Highly recommend:-)

Excellent service from Jenny today as I stopped in to get my nails work ready!!! I didn't take too many photos. This place is clean enough as most nail places are, so very much in line with any other nail salon. Staff was great and nails looked awesome at the end! It was $40 for shellac nails, not sure if that's the going rate around here yet it seems reasonable for this area. read more

The worse experience in my whole life!! I wish I had waited to see the usual office I go to in oc. My thinking was I work in the area and how hard is it to remove gel x nails?? I understand Vietnamese but just don't speak it well and while my nails were soaking in acetone the lady that was assigned to work with me asked the owner how does she remove this???? that means she's a newbie. At that point I wanted to stop but it seemed too late to cancel since she just started to use the electric buffer to remove my gel x nails! It got to the point where she buffed my real nails and it started to hurt! She was "done" I looked at my nails and the gel x nails was still on! So she was going to let me go unfinished! I asked the owner to come fix it and she did the best she could but my nails are still sore and brittle!!! :( read more

First and last time here. I came in for a dip manicure and asked for a thin dip application - that is the one thing that was done marginally OK. The woman tried to remove, my NATURAL, dip manicure with an acrylic nail by jamming it under the previous dip polish and literally forcing it off. It hurt SO bad. The nail went flying and when I picked it up - you could see where the nail had been forcibly yanked off and ripped apart. I asked her not to do that anymore and she tried again on a few other nails before I took my hands away and said no more. My nails, going into this appointment, were naturally long and strong. They are now cut beyond the quicks and so short and painful. She asked if I wanted a cut down or file. I said file and she proceeded to cut them all shorter than you'd see on an infant. I am so upset. She ignored me when I asked why she did that - just stared me down. I won't be back. It is almost as if she didn't care what I said: file please, she cut. Please don't rip them off, she tried to anyway. I have no clue what she was trying to do, but her long acrylic nails couldn't even allow her to properly file my nails. OMG such a bad experience overall. read more

Great staff friendly and always looks terrific. Not a frantic fast paced shop like some. Our go to place

I been using this place for many years. Always excellent service. Mary the owner is very knowledgeable and professional. She knows her customers needs and always trying accommodate everyone. From offering water in a hot day, to changing your nails color if you don't like it. I can't recommend her high enough! read more

This has been my regular place for a while and it doesn't disappoint. Always happy with my manis and pedis. Thank you.

Everyone is so friendly and they all did a great job ! The boutique is also ambient and calming.

AVOID this place! NOT RELAXING! The owner hurt my nails pulling off gel nails & not soaking them first. The first time I went here, the owner, Mary(aka Phuong) was very nice as I was paying $50 for gel nails. Two weeks later, today, I go in to have the gel nails removed & to have a regular manicure, $20. It was NOT relaxing at all! Mary didn't soak my nails at all, but was pulling them off! It hurt! I told her "ouch!" I said, "I thought you said you use acetone to remove them." She said, "No, not your nails." I should have left right then and there! She was not very attentive, in a hurry, often on her phone & talking loudly to her employees who don't seem very happy. Their facial expressions looked sad after she talked to them in their language. She painted my nails nicely, but I won't be coming back again. It should not hurt to get my nails done. read more

Stopped in on a whim to get a pedicure and was pleasantly surprised. Mary assisted me and gave much care and attention to detail in the service she provided. I've avoided nail salons in general because so many times too much skin is removed around the nail leading to a skin infection. Mary was very gentle and was aggressive with any of the instruments. She noticed little details and did really the most perfect job. I will be returning and would highly recommend to anyone like myself who is apprehensive about having a pedicure. read more

Mani/pedi is just ok. Fyi don't accept post dated gift certificate! I bought a gift card for my husband back December 2019 and just discovered today that he never use it. So I went for my mani/pedi and sure thing the owner refused to accept the gift certificate with a little attitude because it's been so long time. I'm fine with it but my husband insisted that by law, business' should accept it! ** State Laws Again, some states have passed laws that regulate gift certificates and gift cards. In California. for example, it's against the law for store gift certificates and gift cards to have an expiration date or dormancy fees (except under certain circumstances), and if the balance on the card is less than $10, you can redeem it for cash. (Cal. Civil Code €1749.5).** read more

I went here on 8/10 and got a full set. The lady put so much glue on my real nails and 8/13 a couple days later the nail literally just fell off. This is also the nail I had her redo because the nail didn't fit my actual nail. It's way overpriced for crappy work and service... Won't be returning.. So 8/15/19 they fixed my nail at no charge Nails started falling off again and I went back they fixed them and on 8/16 and now on 8/18 they are falling off again. Their products have to be very very cheap read more

I just moved to LA about 3 months ago and love to get my nails done. I'm pretty skeptical about trying new salons because you never know what could happen, and the last time I went to a nail salon I got an infection in my nail, but this is overall one of the best nails salons I have ever been to!! They are so quick, and do a great job, and everyone is so friendly! I have gone back 3 times now and will forever go here for as long as I live in LA! read more

Great little nail spa in the heart of downtown El Segundo in Main Street. There's plenty of free street parking as well as behind the shop. Everyone there is very nice and does a great job. There could be a better selection of newer and nicer polishes but I can always find something. They have traditional polishes, as well as long lasting, gel and dip. They also do a large selection of nail art. My gel manicures last a solid two weeks, and regular manicures a week. Today, Christmas Eve day, I went in because I screwed up two newly pedicured toes from yesterday and they fixed them for free (I obviously tipped). Well-priced and try take credit cards. read more

::ALAAAARRRRRRM:: Avoid my cousins here! Although the gel color selection is decent, they're super lazy, sloppy and unprofessional. Expect to pay $58 for a normal pedi and gel mani. They try to cut corners like not removing nail polish and starting over on a nail when it's messed up or just layering on more layers of polish when your gel color doesn't look right. They also are super shady about what they're adding on and charging you. On top of that, they pretty much shit talked and encouraged each other to be shady the entire time --my little Vietnamese ears were burning! Eeek. Definitely never coming back. Avoid if you actually want to get your nails done - cuz you're gonna need to go home and redo them yourself! Dit me may! read more

The color choices are good. Unfortunately I chose a light gel color which are out translucent. After two coats on my right hand it looked terrible so I had the lady change colors. She did a third coat and it came out too thick. THEN asked if I wanted 4 coats! With the base and top coat that would be 6 coats total. Not to mention she didn't even paint anywhere near my cuticles. I could do a better job than this. Hell, Stevie Wonder could have done a better job! I had to keep showing her where she missed. I even told her if pay to re do it but she insisted it would look fine. Meh. MEH!!!!!!!!!! Total cost = $53 = rip off Worst money spent. AND they don't take AMEX! WTF?!? They should change the name. This place ain't relaxing at all. I only gave them the 1 star for the good range of OPI and AXXIUM colors. ALSO THEY TALKED SHIT ABOUT US THE WHOLE TIME AND DIDN'T REALIZE WE CAN SPEAK VIETNAMESE!!!!! read more

Now that I've gone there a few times, the gals have gotten much friendly and I feel welcome and comfortable there, although I still think it's a bit expensive, with EVERYTHING being extra. What keeps bringing me back is that it's convenient, I like the area, they will always take me without an appointment and most of all, the polish lasts FOREVER! TIP: They do not allow tipping on credit charges, so bring some cash. read more

Relaxation Nail Spa - Mother/Daughter pedi - Nail Salons Near Me - El Segundo, California

Relaxation Nails is a small nail place with reasonable prices that seems to be a staple in the neighborhood and have regulars but My experience was not a great one. I arrived with acrylic nails and wanted to "soak them off"(as opposed to having them popped off and ripping away three layers of nail). When I sat down to do my pedicure I asked my nail technician if she could put some acetone in a silver bowl and place it on my lap so my nails could soak while I got my pedi. She stated that I would get them off when I got my mani. I explained to her why I wanted to soak them instead of popping them off and then she frustratingly brought her manager in, and I explained to her the same thing. The manager then went back and forth with me and finally said ok fine $10(mind you soak off is usually $5). After that exchange I was turned off and didn't enjoy what was supposed to be a relaxing mani/pedi. I couldn't understand why they didn't just let me soak my nails off and instead chose to argue with me. My service was also not great, my hand cuticles were left slightly bleeding, the technician did not remove all the acrylic from my nails even after I mentioned it twice, my toe polish was on the skin around my nails and the technician was chatting almost the entire time during my pedi. I will not be returning read more

I've been here a couple times and never fully looooved my experience but it being so close to my house and it having decent prices I've been a total of 3 times. My last visit being the worst, not so much being there but the aftermath. I randomly decided to treat myself and get a mani/pedi. My manicure's fine but my pedicure... not so much. My big toe has recently become infected. While being there the lady did cut me a little bit I didn't think anything of it because it didn't look bad at all, but THE DAY AFTER my toe became puffy and started oozing out puss. I know, so gross. I'd post a picture here but it's currently wrapped up and honestly I don't think anyone wants to see that anyway, it's pretty frightening. It's been a little over a week now and I'm still tending to this infection. How UNRELAXING is that ? To decide to treat yourself and spend money to get an infection because their tools are dirty, or maybe it's their feet soaking bowls, idk. Point is, I'll never be back and wouldn't ever recommend this place to even my worst enemy. GIVE ME A REFUBD read more

Relaxation Nail Spa - Here's my toe. Fucking ridiculous - Nail Salons Near Me - El Segundo, California

Unfortunately the horror stories are true. My rating is 2 stars only because Jenny does give a great pedicure. My SNS manicure is however, an absolute disaster. Mary told me the clear/frosty color would not expose the fake nail glued to my real nail. When it was exposed she offered to cover it with a different SNS color (a whitish pink- very pretty) and then my nails just became a blobbed, goopy mess. As she attempted to file them smooth she tells me "they're too thick because you added another color". I'm sorry, I added the color? When she finally got them as smooth as we could, the color on the edge of each cuticle was tattered and so uneven I wanted to cry. She offered to paint the nails in gel. I have pictures of the final result here. This person needs more experience with nails and customers in general. Now, not only do I need someone to fix this poor job, I will need gel removal in addition. The whole process was $80 and took 2 hours. I do not recommend any newcomers take a risk here. read more

STAY AWAY!!! There is absolutely nothing relaxing about this salon. I just limped out after having the horribly untrained sadist of a nail tech jam her tool into my toe for the third and last time. The first two times she apologized but kept on her attack. The third time I finally just yelled OW WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! She kept grabbing my foot trying to keep me from leaving. The two other workers came over to find out what happened. I told them I was leaving because this woman kept hurting me. One of them then grabbed my arm to keep me from leaving and I had to yank it out of her grip to get away from her. She kept apologizing and mumbled something about not telling other people. Hell no. What if the rest of their staff are butchers too? I wouldn't trust anyone there and don't think anyone should either. There's a reason it was completely empty and Lan's down the street wasn't. Stay as far away as possible from this place! read more
