Inside itocco beauty salon sits this cute nail bar corner offering Korean style gel nails. I wanted to get nails to match the dress I was going to wear for my son's first bday party (Doljanchi) so I brought the top part of my dress so Leah could use her artistry to make some magic. Leah is an amazing nail artist and she completely understood the assignment! I didn't want bulky nails so she added 3d elements to give it some pop without adding weight to it. I also never had nails this long! It feels so elegant. Now when I look at my nails it reminds me of Diet Coke lol. It's crisp and dark and refreshing, perfect for the rest of fall. read more

Ruru Nails offers high quality, detail oriented, great designs. When I made an appointment i had a design in mind, but on the day of, my nails chipped and I had to clip it really short. I didn't think the initial design worked with really short nails. Leah helped me pick out a more suitable design on the spot and I love it. I've been coming to Ruru Nails ever since I got my engagement photo shoot nails and my wedding nails back in 2022. I really appreciate her work. My nails with her usually lasts 4 to 6 weeks. Thank you Leah! I'm going to enjoy my cute summer nails! read more

Leah is a great artist with amazing attention to detail. She has the materials and skills to bring your nail visions to life. I usually find a picture of what I want for her to recreate. I have been going to her for years, and she has gotten to know my own style too. I wholly trust her to complete my nails, so I sometimes even let her do artist's choice. These result in even better results than I could have imagined. Appointments are essential as she books up quickly. She keeps her regulars, so you have to accept that you need to book well in advance for preferred availability. read more

Thank you so much Leah! I've been getting my nails here since 2020 and I couldn't go anywhere else after I found this place. Great designs and nail/pedi care, she never disappoints. 10/10 recommend! read more

I've been going to Ruru Nails for over 4 years now, and they never disappoint. The designs are always super cute, the overlay is always perfect, and everything just turns out exactly how I want. Definitely my go-to spot read more

Leah from RuRu Nails has been doing my nails for the past four years. I do not trust any other nail service to do gel nail art, as she uses the best quality syrup nail polish from Korea and can quite literally recreate / create any design of your choice, if you just send her a photo in advance. While it is impossible to replicate a design exactly, Leah is diligent in trying to understand what her clients want and has an exceptional attention to detail. Moreover, Leah puts extra attention into cuticle care and putting a strong base/top coat, so my nails stay intact for around 2-3 months, depending on the design, which is especially convenient since I live out of state. A small, woman-owned business, RuRu Nails is located inside Itocco Hair Salon on Western, a convenient area if you're near Ktown (there is free parking with plenty of space!). For all these reasons, I highly recommend going to RuRu Nails--everyone will be complimenting your new nail art! read more

RuRu Nails - Nail art! - Nail Technicians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Lihyunnnnn! The sweetest gal with the most lovely personality. She did my wedding nails and they turned out amazing. I don't do my nails often so I gave her more say in what she thought was best--and she did this white ombré with glitter that was absolutely amazing! She's so talented and detailed and very efficient. She also had a TV in the back and played a Korean drama for me :) Will definitely be back to try more designs rather than just a simple gel nail. She does pedicures too and was so great at that as well. Free parking in lot! She gets booked up so definitely text in advance. And the price was definitely so fair for the mani/pedi set at around $135 but definitely ask her for a more detailed price for your design. Thank you read more

Legit the BEST - been going to Leah for years! I used to go to Coco nails regularly but the owner there is SO racist and psycho I couldn't take it anymore, honestly in my life never been to a salon so bad.. I wanted to keep supporting because some of the technicians are good but yeah no more after a crazy incident, thank GOD I found Leah. She's so kind and good at what she does! The best at shaping nails & cleaning cuticles, not to mention the Queen of Designs!!! We have done some killer designs! Also she never cuts me and no infections because she cleans all her tools! I got cut a bunch at Coco and my friend even got an infection. Never had any problems with Leah and all my friends that I referred to Leah love how good she is! RURU is the best!!!! I've attached some pictures of some of my past designs, we have soooo many more but these are some of my favs!!! Enjoy xxx read more

I guarantee this won't be your one-time spot She is so delicate with your nails & THEY ACTUALLY LAST. I would go back after 2 months maximum after getting my nails done but, all the gels & even the little decorations and jewelries stay on. You ask for a design, she makes it happen. I would say close to 100% accuracy. I was NEVER disappointed. I have a tendency to get bored of my nails really easily but I enjoy it for the whole two months until I go in for my next appointment. She is appointment base so I recommend booking a time slot asap before choosing your next design for your next visit. I've been going to her for the past 4-5 sessions & I WILL be coming back for more. This is my GO-TO Nail salon in KTOWN. Also, RuRu is super sweet & easy to talk to; you'll definitely enjoy your time here I've been to so many rude KTOWN nail salons but she does not discriminate (that's definitely a PLUS) BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW: I PROMISE YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT read more

This is by far the best nail salon in all of LA, if not all of California or USA. I get my nails done once a month and it's lasts every time. Leah is so talented and sweet, I honestly don't relate to any other reviews less than 5 stars. She is exceptionally professional and truly is an artist, which is why she's booked in full all the time. I usually just scroll through nail art on insta and choose one; she has never refused any design. I'd recommend this place to anyone! :) read more

Leah is crazy talented and amazing! I love her so much, such a comfortable and down to earth nail artist . I scoped out a few nail artists and I narrowed down ultimately to her as I was going to have my nails done with gel for the first time ever. She is absolutely amazing & pays attention well to the details she adds to your nails. She knows exactly what she is doing and has offered suggestions for nail designs too. I have gone to her twice and both times I have had a great time with having my nails done by her. Feel no fear! She is a great person and will listen to your suggestions as well. Here are the photos of my first gel nail pedi done by her back in Nov 2019 and my current ones that I recently got. I waited about 9 weeks till I decided to go have my nails done again . I definitely recommend everyone to make an appointment with Leah, you will not regret it! read more

This girl is amazing! There are loads of talented nail artists and nail shops in Ktown but it's hard to find a true artist, one that won't just copy what others are doing but will still listen to what you want and give her own twist.

RuRu Nails - Look at these super cute nails - Nail Technicians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

since moving to la about a month ago, top on my priority list was to find a go to nail shop. thank the lord i found Leah because she has definitely upped my nail game and i could not be more pleased. i've gone to her twice now, and both times i've left feeling like a princess. Leah is the sweetest most down to earth person ever, and she makes you feel right at home as she goes to town your nails. due to all the acrylic i had done in the past, she had some really thin broken down nails to work with, but she made it as painless and seamless as possible. she works her magic and adds a bunch of bling to my nails and voila, suddenly i'm flapping my hands every chance i get so people can see the goods. pedi's are also available, but only gel pedi's so if that's not your thing plan accordingly. appts only, but she tries to work with you. i went back to her roughly after three weeks and they were honestly still in tip top shape, but i have a vegas trip coming up so i figured might as well get an upgrade now. honestly, if need your nails done GO TO LEAH! ALSO, PLENTY OF PARKING. HELL YES! read more

Been coming to Leah for maybe over two years. Really love the service she provides. Super talented for intricate details and replicating nail inspo. The gel is high quality material and always last a long time and doesn't chip. Easy to book reservations too! thank you Leah for always making my nails pretty read more

I finally found the place that does gel designs to my satisfaction! She is soo detail-oriented and makes sure everything is perfectly done. I am glad I found someone that's talented and that makes these gel designs u find on instagram actually "possible." I've been to a LOOOT of different nail salons and they are not capable of doing these designs most of the times because they either don't know how or they don't have the materials. This place has soo many trendy colors and materials. MUST CHECK THEM OUT and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

So where do I begin? I don't usually get my nails done, maybe once or twice a year because of two things.. 1. I can do a decent job myself at home and 2. Most technicians suck and leave my nails looking like I did them drunk. So for me to even post a review for a nail salon means that this place really stands out. Leah did my nails and she's really the best and I'll tell you why. The good: Located inside Itocco which means they have their own parking lot. No need to search for parking or pay for valet which is unheard of anywhere in LA. You're welcome. There are two technicians who know their craft and listen to their clients needs. I really don't like sharing but Leah was mines. They even give their opinion on what will look good or bad. Got an idea, great! If you don't, they have so many pictures and ideas for inspiration. Have your pick. Both are very patient and warm with their customers. You won't have to worry about them getting frustrated if you can't make up your mind. They provide the best polishes to provide the best looking manicures and pedicures to ensure you be looking your best! The bad: They only do gel nails here. High quality gel nails. No dip or regular mani/peds.. but ask yourself, is this really a bad thing? I don't think so. read more

I am beyond happy with my nails and the detail that was put into them. If your tired of wondering if the design you found online will look good, come here and she'll absolutely kill it (with a smile on her face) She's so lovely and the energy here is so happy and bright unlike many places I've been to. Definitely my new go to when I want my nail game to be strong. read more

During the process of getting my nails done, I couldn't keep myself from fidgeting my feet from excitement.
