Michelle was amazing -- very nice, quick, and professional. She did a great job on my nails and made the experience pleasant overall. The only downside was that the massage chairs were not working, and the salon had a cigarette smell from the smoke shop next door. Other than that, the place was wonderful and I would definitely recommend Michelle!. Take cash to avoid a $2 fee on your card. Wear a mask if your sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. read more

T & Y Nails - Nails French tip - Nail Salons Near Me - South Gate, California

I came into T&Y nails last week and found out Liz and Alice are no longer working here. I did my nails with the new owner Paul and I was disappointed. He does an okay job but my nails did NOT last. Four days later my nails were screaming for help, looking like I needed a fill. He also cut my cuticles and he cut my skin on all my nails. I need Liz and Alice back! Ugh!! read more

Update:I've been coming here before the change of ownership back when Liz was there she was amazing. I came back after a year or so after she sold it to a relative , Paul is great very much the same quality as Liz work and I have no complaints about him. BUT PETER that guy is so unprofessional I went in and he completely bashed me about coming in looking Paul as he was out on vacation. He was so upset on the fact that I asked for Paul and kept talking smack to me the whole service. I had asked him if he was comfortable doing designs because mine was a bit complicated and he raised his voice saying what kind of question is that I do this for living , okay sir that doesn't mean anything you could be doing nails for 20 years and still be shitty at your job ? And then he asked me if I knew god and how he's everywhere and so is Paul that I can find a Paul everywhere in any nail shop?! Like what !? I don't know what his problem was but he pissed me off also his work is mid how you doing nails for 20 years and yours nails be mid ? OH and then he reassures me that he's not talking about me with his coworker the whole time ! Hahaha like sir please. Anyways Peter sucks , Paul is great but I'm not coming back to this place. read more

I came here because my daughter said she liked how she got her nails painted.. I decided to take off my new gel set from the week prior which was cute hot pink. worse decision ever . Besides the pinching multiple times and her being careless on a French tip GEL.. I was very upset. Didn't like it at all.. after I continually said to make the line thicker smh.. I just decided to take it as a lose and just leave. I did tip because she was nice but if your tired and that old , retire honey or find another career. Now I'm left with thin uneven pinched toes.. & my daughters toe got infected. I wouldn't return at all, not even on a slow day. read more

I took advantage of their 15% off all services so went in for a standard mani/pedi. Small, nothing fancy but staff was kind. They didn't chatter amongst themselves so I appreciate that. I like that they didn't pursue or guilt me into getting more done once I told them I type a lot for work and didn't want anything fancy. They didn't carry too many neutral color polish so I opted for just a clear coat. Overall, with the additional discount I thought it was worth it. I don't recommend if you are looking to be pampered as this is not one of those fancy establishments read more

Took my wife and daughter here for their Halloween day treat and was treated very nicely. I was offered water and a little snack while I waited.

T & Y Nails - simple yet beautiful design - Nail Salons Near Me - South Gate, California

Definitely worth the money! You really do pay for what you get! I was going to a different shop where the nails were cute and cheap but they would not stay on my nails longer than two weeks. I came here December 20 and got a full set for $50 which was completely reasonable considering they took their time to make sure my nails were perfect and that I liked what I had. The first set took them an hour and a half. I received compliments up until the last day! Even with my natural nail being exposed. They lasted me almost an entire month without lifting. I waited this long to write my review so I can really see if they're worth it and they are. The red nails are what I got today. This fill cost $25 and they spent an hour on them. They were also shortened. My first set was by Anthony and Julie, and my red set was by Ken. All great people! I highly recommend making an appointment! read more

do not come here, they used to be good but now they do bad and sloppy work, only 2-3 workers at a time so wait times are forever without appt and they prioritize whatever pays more, i had an appointment for a manicure and had to wait for a walk in for acrylics that arrived after me- then the manicure only lasted two days before peels because they didn't cure my nails properly, all this for a salon that's on the pricier side is not worth it. read more

I've switched from my old nail salon to this one, and I love it and do not regret anything. The girl at the front desk is super nice, friendly, and always has dope nails! I love the service here as well as the nail technicians. They understand what I want when it comes to shaping and length and they are super patient. I was sooo surprised in my first visit because their prices are really low. Although, that is a bonus, their prices do not compare to the work, time, and effort they put into nails. BTW - Had these nails on for 2 weeks, went hiking, rock-climbing, and even bowling and they were still on and poppin. My new favorite nail salon! Looking forward to continue coming here! read more

I came here for the first time and I must say I was impressed. Julie and her staff are such great friendly and funny people. I usually wouldn't drive far to get my nails done, but for Julie and her staff I definitely will again. I live in South El Monte and the drive wasn't too bad. For the great customer service and welcoming ambiance, it was worth my time and drive. The price of the service is fair. I've been to places that cost a lot more but the service was bad. Would I recommend this place? My answer is definitely a YES! read more

Such a great, first time experience! I got a regular pedi and a gel manicure for $35! Both of the workers took there time so I really appreciate that. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is after I walked out, I realized that half of some of my nails didn't have a clear coat. Which is weird because obviously she put some on but maybe they weren't under the lamp for the time they should have been? I called and the worker told me to apply a clear coat from home so it's no big deal I guess. But I'd highly recommend! read more

Best costumer service, Been coming here for years now & never had a problem. Also they do ur nails exactly how u tell them

First time coming here. Staff had bad attitudes, they don't know their prices until there almost done with your work,they aren't original with their own books of art nail designs to choose from ;you must have a picture, oh and they charge a fee for debit even though I spent over $50 dollars. The service wasn't worth the price ,and they treat everyone the same! NOT WORTH THE MINEY!!Will be going back to Lakewood Hey everyone likes different service and there's is basic! read more

I've come here twice now and I'm ready to say I LOVE YOU ALICE. Shes the one. Alice if you're reading this, I love you. The first time I asked for a longer coffin matte black with one nude with the design from my favorite horror movie, IT. This second time I asked for them to be cut really short and brought a reference for length and went with all matte black. Alice was attentive and asked me if I was ok each time with length and style. Never going to anyone else. read more

I hate driving farther than 10 mins. I was pretty sad when I found out Don moved to long Beach, which is about 35-45 mins away. I tried to find a replacement but had no luck. I dragged myself and my daughter out to his new store and I'm glad I did. I was greeted by a very friendly girl, Julie,and she just made me and my little one very welcomed. A lady at another store did gel nails for my daughter once and it lasted two days. At T&Y, a girl with glasses did worked on my daughter's nails and I'm happy to report that after a week, her nails are still beautiful!! They lasted for her mermaid birthday party this past weekend. Phew. Don always takes his time and I never have any complaints w his work. I get so many compliments every time he does my nails .The prices are great too. I'm fact, they were half the price of the quote (for mermaid nails) I got from a local place! read more

They get upset when they make a mistake and you bring it up to their attention. There is no need for that!

I never get acrylics but decided to get some for my graduation and I loved how they did them. The place is super clean and the people who work there are really nice! I had a picture of what I wanted and they came out even better! People who complain about the prices don't understand all the work that's put into it. Looking good ain't cheap and looking cheap ain't good This is the place to go! I'm going to start going in for regular manicures now that I've let my nails grow (I was a nail biter which is why my cuticle area looks like that) and this was a while back btw but I still wanted to leave this review read more

After two years religiously going to the same nail tech. She had decided to retire and I was left with nowhere to go. After some looking around I came across T&Y nails and I decided to give it a try. I must say I was not left disappointed! I think I've found my new nail salon! Everyone was so welcoming and there is such a nice and warm atmosphere. It looks like a fun salon and the nail quality is great. I got the exactly what I asked for. I will definitely be going back as well as recommending many more. I would say to try to book an appointment because it does get rather busy and I can see why. read more

I've been coming here for pedicures for over 3 years and have never had a problem. However, today I came in for a pedicure but my usual lady was not there. I decided to give another woman a try and was completely disappointed. First of all, she cut down my nails without asking, I found it odd but did not say anything as I was going to ask her to cut anyways. She asked me what color I wanted and I said French tip. She said "oh honey" and lifts my toe up for me to see she had completely rounded my nails when she cut them. They usually cut my nails in a squared way so I was confused. I told her it's okay and to add acrylic to my big toes only to give it a squared shape. As she is finishing applying acrylic to my big toes she asks for me to see if the shape was ok I noticed the acrylic was extremely long and told her the nail shape is great but the length is way to long it would hurt to wear shoes! She laughed and said she will file down.... She files for a bit and moves on to apply acrylic to the rest of my toes. I told her oh no just the big toe please and she goes "no it's ok only a lil bit" I was confused as last time I recall I was the one paying for the service and did not want to pay for acrylic on all toes. I paused and told her no thank you just the big toes. She wipes it off and continues filing my big toes. For 5 min straight we are going back and forth, her asking me if the length is ok and me telling her to go shorter. I started getting tired of going back and forth so I told her it's okay just take everything off I will still pay but just take everything off. She says ok and continues working on my nails. I told her once more oh no I don't want pedicure anymore it's okay just take it off. She says okay but I can tell she does not understand. At this point everyone is the salon is looking at me, but nobody offers to translate what I am asking for to her in their language. I ask her one more time to take it off and she continues to work on them. Finally after the 5th time I tell her someone jumps in and translates she speaks to them in their language and looks and me and at my toes and smacks her lips. I did not say anything as I just wanted to get out of there. she finally proceeds to remove the acrylic and burns my toe nails. I let her know it's burning and she just apologizes and continues. I could see her struggling as she applied so much acrylic. I couldn't stand the burning sensation so after 5 min I told her to just leave it. She says okay and stops but continues to grab nail polish and paper to wrap around my toes. I told her it's okay I do not want a pedicure anymore I just want the acrylic off. She says okay thank you and proceeds to wrap the paper on my toes. I told her no I do not want paint and grabbed my purse and started putting my sandals on. She finally understands and says thank you and let's me go. They charged me $29 for burning toes that I'm sure will bruises and the receptionist goes "I'm so sorry for the problem next time you come let me know I'll help you"......I told her thank you I appreciate it and left. I understand many nail salons want to hire family members to work with them in their business, but it is good to have someone who understands English and what a client is asking for. read more

This review is solely for the older fellow with the calm disposition who provides the best pedicures with callus removal I've found in LA! I've gone to many places, high end like laque and ghetto dirt cheap places like this salon: at $11 for a reg pedi, it can't be beat! The place is fitting in its neighborhood, and the two Vietnamese women that work here can be very rude. If you can look past that for the end result, and bypass dealing with them, a pedicure with the older Vietnamese gentleman is worth the experience! I bring my own tools and he provides the cleanest callus removal around! He knows how to use metal shaving tools (not sure what they're called) without cutting too much or too fast. He is patient, calm, and speaks little English. This places reeks of fumes, yet it is always bustling with customers. Children can be seen running about, wetting themselves, having their nails painted, or waiting calmly did their parents. It's an interesting experience, and definitely a humbling one. At the end of my service, I get to leave this terribly low socially economic area to my calm home in the armpit of LA, the good ol' SFV. Note: a good tip goes a long way. #nomsohard #comefindme read more

They're soooo amazing! I'm so happy to have finally given them a try. They're basically my new fav nail place! read more

I need to leave a star in order to be able to leave a review. If I was able to do so I would leave none. So I stayed comming here because my daughter told me this place is great, manicurist are awesome at their nail art work etc. I need to comment how Julie and don just need to come back already and get this place together before they loose out on any more clients. I tried to come back 2 times ever since they have left and both times I've been disappointed. I gave this Wednesday a try and the service is horrible, pedicurists just don't try to learn to do pedicures and nails with ken which was recommended was a horrible experience. If T&Y nails employees just don't wanna deal with expectations of customers and get upset and speak in their language talking shit amongst themselves is soooo rude and unprofessional. If you guys don't want to do your job just close shop and wait for don and Julie to come back. By the way I have google translate so I know they were talking shit. Sooooooooooo rude. Don't bother people save your Money. I am not the first and last person who has sadly gave this place a try and and just has had a bad experience look at the reviews and comments trust me others speak horrible too. read more

I wanted to get something unique done so I decided to come here. They have so many nice and unique designs shown here as well as Instagram. Walking in I was greeted by Julie who was super friendly and was seated almost instantly. I told them I wanted to make my nails a bit longer and they introduced me to gel extender/builder. Not many shops actually offer this rare form. It is much healthier and lighter (almost natural) feel versus the acrylic. It was done beautifully and I can't ask for a better design. Having an ingrown toe nails is a pain in the butt once when it's a few weeks after a nice pedi. They were able to swiftly yet properly solve the issue for me. All in all definitely a place I will come back to over and over again. Great customer service, great quality, and great pricing as well. read more

Great service for nails and for toes. The gel polish lasts forever, I can never get it off myself. The nails wear overtime like they normally would but last a while. You can easily file them to bring back the sharpness and they look pretty fresh. Great place. read more

Julie, Don, and their whole crew are the only people I trust with my nails now. I live about 30-40 minutes away but visit South Gate often, and I can tell you I have not been able to find a nail salon HALF as good as T&Y. *Every other place* I've gone in for gel polish and acrylics are honestly so unskilled and my nails always came out looking horribly unnatural (you know, lumpy polish and acrylics with no natural curve at all). The first time I got my nails done at T&Y I was so ecstatic and in love! They are so good at what they do and I never leave the shop feeling unhappy at all. This is the only place I'll ever go to now, and it is absolutely worth the drive and the money! read more

Loving coming here for pedicures, I haven't got acrylic nails just yet. I have always received great customer service. I went in 2 weeks ago, I needed a pedicure done last minute, called around 5:58 and they let me come in still despite closing at 6:30pm . Really appreciate that gesture. I didn't receive a "in a rush"service at all. Will always come here for my pedicures . Thank you guys so much . UPDATE !!! Today I finally came and got a full set, I made an appointment through Instagram and Julie was very sweet responding . My nail tech was Don and he did an AMAZING JOB. He was NOT in a rush and was detailed. It's been so hard for me to find a shop where they leave my coffin nails super sharp and he did exactly what I asked for . Definitely will come back for not only pedicures now but for nails as well. read more
