Jenny is the owner, and always does a great job. They don't do gel x which I was looking for, but I got the best gel nail manicure and pedicure, as always, since been seeing Jenny and her team of professionals since I moved to Whittier in 2011. Thanks Jenny always always taking care of these hard-working hands.

Gel Manicure costs approximately $22 bucks with cutting the nails. Kim is super friendly at all times! I love her methods of making me feel good! Wait time is a hit or miss, but they're very friendly and makes sure that customers don't have to wait too long. They always let you know if they're busy so that you don't waste your time. You're able to call before hand to check if you can schedule an appointment. Kim usually waits for you until you show up! Very reasonable! Tip gave approximately $8-12 bucks depending on the time and how quickly they serve me. Kim usually does a wonderful job of getting me in and out in a timely manner within 1 hour or so.

Although the shop was close to home I didn't care too much for the service! Judy was very kind and they saw me right away. I had asked for a acrylic ombré look but i don't think she knew what she was doing. Ended up going with this. These are my nails after a week already lifting and my cuticles look horrible. I am a server so my hands are everything and I just wasn't satisfied I'm having them removed today.

Terrible nail art by JUDY
Stephanie N.

I could let the photo speak for itself but I feel it's necessary to provide details. The owner JUDY is the one who did my nails and you can see in the photo how terrible the nail art is. It was suppose to be an arrow NOT heart. The lady who did my pedicure forgot to do my massage and said she'll treat me next time. I told Judy I should be charged for a regular pedicure and not spa pedicure due to not receiving the full service and she thought it was necessary to still charge me for the spa pedicure.

Ouch!

I just got home. I seriously got home, washed my hands (because god knows what germs have infected the cut they gave me) and sat down to write this review. If I could give them zero stars, I would but I can't so one star and that will for the pedicure. Unfortunately, THIS WAS THE WORST MANICURE OF MY LIFE. Now, due to the economy I do my own toes and nails but since tomorrow is my engagement photo shoot I figured what the heck, let me treat myself. What a mistake. I seriously wish I had my money back because after I finish writing this review I'm going to acetone my nails and re-polish them. I don't know who did my pedi and mani. It wasn't Judy, it was some other woman who did both my mani and pedi. Mistake #1: slightly cutting my pinky. Mistake #2: cutting my ring finger to the point where it is still bleeding! 30 mins. later! And that sonofabitch hurts! Mistake #3: Messing up my thumb nail with HER finger nail, not saying anything about it and when I brought it she seriously just patched it up a gob of nail polish. It looks awful. Don't worry. I will be adding pictures. I seriously left wanting to cry. The only thing that can make me happy now is that you don't make the mistake of visiting this place. My nails are bad enough. I don't need to see anyone else's nasty ass nails.

Love the colors and geo shapes. Perfect for summer!

After 18+ months of refraining from my usual Mani/pedis, I was so happy to be back. I always come in with special design pictures and requests and per usual, Judy did not disappoint. As an added bonus, I was able to get some work done on my laptop during the pedicure. Thanks for your great work and easy going and friendly attitude, Judy!!

3 stars Bc Kim was GREAT but there was this other lady working on my younger sisters nails who was rude and greedy. We both got pedicures, Kim did mine and was gentle included a massage and really cleaned up my toes also put a hot towel on after. My sisters technician on the other hand literally just put her feet in warm water and painted her toes and charged me for a pedicure. That's insane! I know she's young but if I pay for a pedicure, give her the WHOLE pedicure!! Kim did 3x the work so if you come here go to KIM not anyone else! BTW MY TOTAL WAS $55 WITH KIM (GEL MANI & GEL PEDI) with the skimpy lady it was "$52" FOR 1 GEL COLOR CHANGE AND 1 "PEDICURE" SMH!! She swindled us for sure. Not coming back unless I make an appt w Kim!

White tips by Jannet

I came in here on a Saturday afternoon without an appointment and I only had to wait for about 20 minutes which is great. They do pretty amazing work there. Jannet did my nails and did a wonderful job. I thought their prices were very fair and no one tried to up-sell me which I really appreciate. The place is a little hard to find, but I found it without too much trouble; just look for Dominos - the shop is right behind there. My only (minor) complaint is the place is INCREDIBLY small - you could fit the whole front of the shop in my living room. But other than that, I was pleased. The staff was very friendly and the prices were fair - you can't argue with that.

$5 for acrylic removal, $10 for manicure.
Christina O.

I went to Skyy Nails this morning in search of a new nail salon that would give me quality service at a fair price. It's a small, intimate place located in the back of a shopping center on whittier blvd. There was only one other woman there, which was nice. (I don't like salons that are packed or over crowded.) Janet was the woman who did my nails and did a fair job overall. She was polite and made conversation with me as she worked on fixing my damaged nails. (I ended up getting my acrylics removed and a manicure.) The acrylic removal was $5 and the manicure was $10. Both were fair prices and I felt I got what I paid for. It was a little painful, but acrylic removal tends to be. I appreciated the nail soak/wrap before the removal to soften the gel. Janet informed me that gel was an additional $15 and a full set was $20. It wasn't a terrible job, but I wasn't impressed either and I don't feel like I would come here to prep for an important event. But if I had an hour or two to kill and an extra $10 in my pocket, I'd consider coming back. I felt like I got what I paid for, so I can't really complain when the prices were incredibly reasonable.

You get what you pay for here, and I mean that in the best way possible. This is easily one of the…read morenicest nail salons I've ever visited. The staff is friendly, professional, and incredibly talented. One thing I really appreciate is their transparency--they provide an itemized receipt and let you know the total cost before starting your service, so there are no surprises. The salon itself is beautiful, spacious, and surprisingly quiet, which makes the whole experience feel relaxing from the moment you walk in. The decor is absolutely adorable with pink accents, floral touches, and a chic, feminine aesthetic that makes it feel a little more luxurious than your average nail salon. They have five separate pedicure rooms, a huge selection of colors, and complimentary drinks while you enjoy your service. I always look forward to the mimosas and hot tea. What really stood out to me was how involved the management team is. I saw managers regularly walking around checking on guests and making sure everyone was happy with their service. I also noticed the staff thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the pedicure stations after every customer, which I really appreciated. It's clear they take both customer service and cleanliness seriously. While Milano is definitely on the pricier side, the quality, cleanliness, atmosphere, and customer service make it worth every penny. They even have a rewards program where you can earn points toward future visits. Their nail artists are incredibly skilled and can create everything from simple sets to the latest trendy nail art. I always leave happy with my nails and already looking forward to my next appointment.

The first time I came after getting my nails done the nail tech mentioned how I can come in 1-2 weeks to get a refill on my nails. When I came the second time for the refill the person stated that I could not do a refill and that instead I needed to do a completely new set. I am upset that the nail tech lied to me. Never coming to this place again I do not like when the nail tech told me one thing and then charged differently. It is a very predatory tactic. Highly disappointed with my experience. Also for me they put something on my feet and it burned. One of my toes was left with a burn mark. The nail tech also didn't really understand English so it took her awhile to take off the product so I had to dip my foot inside so I wouldn't burn the rest of my toes.

The nail tech, Hannah, is very nice but she is very rough on cleaning the toe nails and I have told her a few times to go softer when she's digging into my nails but I don't think she knows how to be less rough. I have been cut a couple times and so has my friend. Not only that, but she has made my toe nails very uneven both times I've had her. Some nails are longer and she cut other ones shorter. My pinky toenail is short already and she filed it so much that now when she put the nail polish, it's just little like a dot of nail polish was put on since she filed my nail so small. I didn't know her name but was hoping to not get her but I ended up getting her again. Also, every time I have gotten a manicure, they can never get my nail shape right and have to keep reminding them to not do it the way I don't like it. There is no consistency. Another incident I had before was that I tried doing builder gel manicure fill with one of the nail techs that has done builder gel multiple times before and then when I called they said, "no he never does builder gel." I specifically wanted that nail tech because he does designs as well, which he has done for me. I don't know what's going on with all this mix up and change, but it's very frustrating. There is no consistency and just haven't been satisfied the last few times coming here.

She didn't finish this girls til awhile after that. Frustration is don't make a reservation if you're going to make us wait. If we were 15 min let alone 10 min late to an appt we would be turned away. Then all the other workers decide to give attitude and talk under their breathe. I said no on principle. Mind you one had the nerve to say "she still has awhile for her (my friend) nails to be done" she was done at 4:40...haha Not worth it. Edit since you can't reply - her response is laughable. No one told me who was going to be doing my nails til 4:10. In that time I could observe that tech doing the girls nails next to me who seemed annoyed with her. Regardless, appointments aren't taken serious as 2 people walked in after us and they were started right away. Just poor time management. Had someone initially communicated the delay, it would have been fine, but to think on a busy day you're going to have your customer sit there without any communication is laughable. Hence why I cancelled services. Also, friend was done 15 min after the tech was done doing that girls nails, so she would have had to wait over 30+ min for me. No thanks. Just accept the mess up and move on. My issue is the lack of communication and making it seem like it's my bad for your mistake. Do better for those that attempt your salon again. ***also, my friend had to go back into the shop to have her nail fixed by another tech right after, forgot to mention this...but okay***
