My best friend has been going here for years, and she recommended I try this place. I got the gel X nails, and when I tell you I had them done on February 13, it's now March 3, and they still look amazing. The vibe was good, the customer service was good, and the prices were good. This is definitely my new spot, and I can't wait to go back. The pedicure was amazing; I was falling asleep. Definitely a great place. Great vibe read more

Money hungry! SOME of the lady's are nice (typically the younger ones) but be careful at this salon regardless. We went in for a basic pedicure ($25) and tipped $5 EACH (it was a regular polish job, basic plain color, no design, no extra added stuff to the pedicure). When handing over $5 to one of the older ladies, she immediately made a rude face and started speaking in her native language LOUD so her coworkers could hear her. When she was speaking, we saw 4 of the ladies heads turn to look toward us. We knew she was talking about us in a bad way. Super unfortunate and unprofessional. Please educate your staff on the meaning of a tip: "a small amount of money given voluntarily to a service provider in addition to the regular price, usually as a gesture of appreciation for good service" According to the definition, I shouldn't even have to give you $1... be THANKFUL. read more

Horrible experience. They didn't listen to what I wanted and were very aggressive during the service. My nails came out poorly shaped, and the customer service was disappointing. I also didn't receive the pedicure service I paid for everything felt rushed, and I was treated poorly overall. I would not recommend. read more

Vivian did a beautiful job on my nails. I asked for a bright pink cat eye with a flower design on my ring finger and it came out very pretty. The nail spa was clean and charming! I recommend this place to all my friends and family. read more

Second time here, but I can't recommend this place. I came in as a walk-in and they were accommodating. But the nail tech who did my manicure cut me not once, but twice. Once with the clippers and once with a nail file. Yes, she filed my skin so hard and quickly that it broke open skin. The tech who did my toes did a good job and I'm happy with the results. This is a volume place and they tend to just focus on butts in seats, and not quality or the health of your nails. I'm sure there are some good techs here, but I'm not coming back to test it out. The search for a nail salon continues... read more

I agreed to the earlier appointment; my pedicure was cool, my manicure is giving bubble nails and I asked for acrylics that weren't delivered. I don't remember her name but the woman who did my pedicure was very vocal. She asked me a lot of questions about how I wanted my toes. The gentleman who did my nails did not ask me anything more than what color I wanted. Each service cost $35 - they don't soak your fingers or give you quick rubdowns ($10 extra). I probably wouldn't return unless it's necessary read more

Skylar Nail Spa - Thought they did a good job until she began complaining the next day. - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I mean...nails, right? Here they actually answer the phone and always looking at the door -all of the staff- in order to acknowledge you. My granddaughter and I go here for pedicures and manicures. I just get a bugged manicure but she likes the crazy nails. We both get pedicures. I like to sit while my toenails are drying g and let the massage chair do it's thing while she has the intricate nails artfully done. Not a bad life. It's worth the money to me AND they are two doors down for. A great Mexican restaurant where you can get a freshly made juice-they've for lots- a snack or a full meal. Superb! read more

Update: I called to speak with the manicurist, Stephan and asked about his tip policy. He told me that he is refusing my service in the future. When asked why, and if it was a matter of me not tipping him, he said, "bo, it's just because I am refusing service." This is a lie. At least if you're going to be rude and petty, be a savage about it and be honest. Because had I have given him a tip, it would have been okay to come back to him. If you're a humanist who factors in attitude when evaluating a business, DO NOT COME HERE. Seeing the thread below, I'm not the only one who has encountered this nonsense. *************** Pedicures are a hit or miss. Hands tend to be done well. HOWEVER, mannerisms can be disappointing and disrespectful. FAIR EXCHANGE IS NO ROBBERY. DO NOT do your job as you've laid out, charge me for every nook and cranny you find to be additional.... Then indignantly demand a TIP. I paid for what you charge. As a private business, you set the prices to suit your financial demand. Stop acting like tipping is rudimentary. It is EXTRA. read more

Missing my old nail tech! Jerri is unfortunately no longer here and I came back to have someone else do my fill. My nails typically last 4-5 weeks and after this service, I had to go somewhere else after barely two weeks. Attached is how my nails look following my appointment here. You can see my nails are green and have water damage. And they even did acrylic on top of my gelx nails. If anyone knows what salon Jerri and Seven went, please let me know! read more

It's bad in here now. As other reviewers have mentioned, this shop has gone downhill since Patsy is no longer the owner. The reviews on here would be even worse if they were not still factoring in Patsy's reviews. Every time I come in, it seems worse. It's like they've found a way to squeeze a customer into every square inch of the space, and it's beginning to have a sweatshop feel. I went in for a simple manicure and pedicure. You would think it's a crime to not want gel by the way I got asked over and over if I wanted it on my hands and feet. (I don't really understand why people put gel on their toes anyway--seems like a hustle.) I should not have to say four or five times that I want regular polish. Especially when I know they are communicating with each other about what I said I wanted. Another woman came in after me and wanted more extensive work done (probably the gel.) They were about to start her before me but since I was already annoyed at the gel harassment, I kept staring at the technician who seated her. She then seated me and told the woman that I was there first, so she absolutely knew she was wrong before she seated her. But again, I'm that anomaly, that dreaded customer who DOES NOT WANT THE GEL! We can guess why it's convenient for them to push all customers towards gel. 1) I't more expensive 2) While yes, it does last longer, it also keeps you having to come back to them regularly. I don't like the process of getting it off, and I don't like being a slave to the nail shop. All this stuff is bad for you, but I imagine the gel is even worse than regular polish. On to the thing that spurred me to write this review. After a few sub-par visits that I didn't bother reviewing, came the last straw: my polish literally chipped THE NEXT DAY after getting it done. I'm on day two now and I realized that I should have included a picture but guess what? The polish started to fully peel off, so I just went ahead and started peeling the other nails. It wasn't hard to do which tells you how bad of a manicure it was. It almost feels like it was purposeful. Like they'll show me what happens to people like me who DON'T WANT THE GEL. Also, there's a rude guy mentioned in the reviews. He was my last experience, and he was indeed a piece of work. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say he's an owner. It's hard to see any other way someone with that attitude would continue to work there. So, that's it for me. Disgusted with the atmosphere of the shop and their lack of individualized care for their customers. There are a lot of shops like this, but this is particularly disappointing because this location used to be so much better. I will not be back. If someone knows a shop or technician who does good work and cares about the job they do....please message me. This is not that place. The only reason I gave two stars instead of one is because I know I'm angry right now, and I'm trying not to rate based on that. read more

This review is why I like to have my manicure and pedicure done by the same people each time. Mary did my pedicure this time. She's terrible! She got mad because I didn't like the color SHE chose. She was trying to get the acrylic nails off and kept burning me with that tool. She cuts cuticles or SKIN WITH NO cuticle cream. I say SKIN because when she was done, she was clipping cuticles when there was no reason. She didn't put lotion on my hands and I had to tell her to please get the gel powder off my hands. All of this and she had the nerve to stand there waiting for a tip... Terrible service and attitude. read more

Went on 7/10 to get my nails done and I was a bit nervous at first because of all the COVID stuff. I called to see if I needed an appointment to get my full set and since it was on a Friday, I was ready for them to tell me they couldn't take me. Surprisingly, they gave me a noon appointment so there I went. There is more than enough parking on the back which is so nice. I walked in through the back (their front door is closed so this is the main entrance) and they took my temperature which was awesome. They asked me to wash my hands before I sat down. They have every other manicure and pedicure station closed. They have the plastic partition on the manicure stations. I got my full set gel from Vivian and I believe she did a great job. Pictures attached. Minus one star for not taking cards. Only cash at this time. read more

Skylar Nail Spa - Redo after blatant refusal to correct bad polish.. - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Shaping, acrylic, dip---- Hit or miss... I have had some extremely talent nail techs; current fav SEVEN. However I had horrible tech trying to get in an get out when the GOOD techs aren't available or in the shop. An every time, I have to come back in under 2 weeks, my cuticles split (you have to pay extra to trim them too), nail shape is off, the nail lift up with to much ease, due to the nail being to thick. When done by Seven I don't have these issues, I say this to say be cautious of techniques used and if not happy speak up. read more

I came for a fill. Male that did my hands did not greet me, that's okay... he finished the set and I let him know you can still see my new growth. He doesn't say much so I ask him if he knew how to fix it and he said no. I asked for more pink gel and before the UV timer was finished he walked away to service another client. It seem like he didn't think I would notice the error and caught an attitude because I wanted it fixed. I've been going here for a while but I've noticed to decline in customer service. I don't appreciate half effort or feeling uncomfortable to speak up for something I'm paying for. This was my last good shop in LA but for the prices it's not worth my time anymore read more

DO NOT GO HERE! They made my nails so thin that they would bend as I itched my arm, one broke and on-top of that you can see a whole paint smudge of different color on my nail. I wanted a refund but they demanded that they had to grind my nails that thin. I left pissed and unhelped. read more

Skylar Nail Spa - Broken nail and random nail smudge - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I haven't visited this place for a long time and for good reason. I had to go today since my usual place is closed. The gentleman that did my manicure was so rough and his work was ugly. My cuticles look flooded and I already know the edges are going to lift once they start growing out. Both techs rushed through my manicure and pedicure. No tips and def not coming back. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way... Clearly, I do not recommend this place based on today's services. read more

Been coming for many many years. I've followed Cindy to every shop she's been. This place has plenty of parking in back - just off Overhill at Slauson in legendary beautiful View Park. They're usually busy and most technicians have regulars but they do a good job of fitting in walk ins. I come for pedicures and occasional polish change on my hands and there no better place in the city. Attention to detail is their speciality and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Cookie and Amy are the owners and they run a very clean and organized shop. Prices are very good for their excellent quality and service. They have a gigantic selection of regular, gel and powder colors. They have literally every color (regular and gel) that OPI makes and all of the other top gel and powder brands. I get compliments everywhere I go. Cindy is the best but I'd you want her, you will have to be flexible because she stays booked with her long time regulars. PRO TIP: Hilltop Coffee is just a few steps away so you can grab coffee and something tasty to eat before or after your appointment. read more

I was in town for the weekend. My friends and I decided to go here for a pedicure. I got the classic pedicure with callous removal. Let me just say it didn't do anything. The girl barely scrub off my dead skin. After the lotion had settled I realized she's done little to nothing. Also she didn't cut my toe tails properly even in the shop I had to keep begging her to cut them down esp. my baby toe. You can see that my white polish didn't even cover and looks sloppy. The back of my feet still have dead skin. I also got my eyebrows waxed and they look good. My friends pedicures looked nice but even they said they had dead skin in areas. read more

The people are sweet but unfortunately they are overworked like most salons, traffic was bad yesterday on a Friday evening so I called Skylar nail on my way home and they took me right away. The salon was packed, I asked for a specific French tip design, the guy assigned to my manicure started it but couldn't finish it, the next lady that came to work on my hands was simultaneously answering phones, directing employees and doing my nails. In the process she cut me while filling the side of my pinky nail in a very rough rushed disassociated fashion. When I said ouch she looked at it and said "ohh it cut you". I Didn't realize how bad it was until she put alcohol on it and it burned like no other, when I inspected it, I saw just how deep the cut goes along the side of my finger nail almost separating nail from nail bed,blood began to run down my finger. She put peroxide and some tea tree oil butter that looked very used. I'm keeping it clean and praying no infection happens here. Smh I am in pain and low key stressed because I have to leave town in two days with this open wound. read more

3 stars and that's only because my pedicure and eyebrows looked good. Thank You: Tina or Trina (forget which name but her). My manicure is awful!!!! I got my nails done on 2/22/23, the day before my birthday/maternity shoot. Today is 3/5/23.....11 days....there is no reason my gel polish should be peeling. It's peeling because the polish wasn't painted up to my cuticles and down along the sides. I don't work at all right now so there's nothing strenuous I could of done to make my nails peel. The shop really went down since Patsy left smh. I may come back for a pedi but probably just eyebrows. Y'all charge too much for bad work and be rushing to get you out the chair and it isn't even crowded. read more

First time going to this nail shop, it's not to far from my house but yesterday when I checked on maps it did say they are closed Tuesday... not true ! Went right in wasn't packed at all... ladies were eating lunch when I arrived they kinda of looked like they didn't want to be bothered but one lady came right away after I was seated. I was treated by Lin which she did a great job by the way ... I just got a regular gel design but I got the Deluxe spa package which was $65 I believe & I was told French tip would of been an extra $7. This is honestly the most I've paid for just my feet in a long time but the Deluxe package did come with a good scrub & a good massage plus a wax treatment it guess it was! So it was worth it to me... now let's just see how long this polish last Plus P.S I have bad ingrown nails Lin took them out no problem... well at least I think so ! Other shops dig into the side of my toe and it kills me the next day today my toes are fine looking like a piece of work! I will definitely be going back next time maybe even get my finger nails done! read more
