Amy and Patrisa were amazing and super friendly. Will definitely be coming here again. I even got water and snacks while we were here.

i came here after trying to find an open nail salon all afternoon and this place was the only one open. thank god because this place is a hidden gem. the staff are SO sweet and considerate. i've never been to a better nail salon. my nail tech was Kathy, an absolute doll of a woman. she did an amazing pedicure on my toes, the designs are absolutely perfect and the entire experience was unbelievably relaxing. if you're thinking of stopping by, DEFINITELY DO, i promise you will not be dissatisfied

I just adore this place and everyone here. I've been coming here for nearly 10 years and it feels like home. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. And of course, my nails are always amazing. Tammy and Amy are my girls however every single one of them are amazing. Stacey, Cindy and Patricia are also the best. I'm currently obsessed with my new set that Tammy did. Obsessed! :)

The service was amazing! All the workers were very kind and generous! Shoutout to Stacey for making my first nail experience so nice. Also Cindy who did my nails was very sweet and did them with so much care. Their special offer is so worth it, $7 off any manicure or pedicure! The whole team is so sweet. If you are a college student and looking for gel manicures on a budget, this is the place!

I absolutely love this place! The prices are very reasonable and the staff is so kind and amazing! The interior is also very clean and definitely calming. Amy did an amazing job as always, if you need quick and good service come here!!!

This nail salon has to by far, have the best customer service i've seen! Very sweet ladies attending you with small gestures like snacks and water, as well as some yummy candies! They also consistently ask if you're content with their work throughout the process which I think would be comforting to those who are afraid to say something ‍. I couldn't recommend this place enough- and i'd say i'm quite picky with nail techs.

Cindy and Patricia did an amazing job! Not only were they very hospitable and skilled, but they made me feel very comfortable and heard during my visit. My nails came out exactly how I wanted them. I will definitely be back. Thank you!!!

Why are they oddly shaped?
Diana G.

I dropped in here with a friend on a random day as walk in. Beware! As I think the five star reviews are in exchange of a deal! Me and my friend walked in for a maní and pedi but the amount of glue used for my friends mani was insane that the shape of the nails we're completely off to the side. When we went to another shop to remove the nails we were asked what kind of place did such job. For me I did a simple gel paint for both my mani and pedi but damn I should've done it myself. They possibly have some old gel paint because it had too many streaks and the sides of my nails were missing paint. Not only that but the two colors I picked were unavailable.. my mistake was paying them honestly. The 5 star reviews back to back should tell enough.

Manicure

I came in for a vacation manicure set with a various specific look in mind & They did great I job in copying the inspiration. my nails quality is top notch although I did feel a bit like she overworked filing down the sides they look perfect. I have a pretty intensive job and my nails are still holding up really well.

They put a lot of effort into recreating the feel of a traditional Korean village in their jjimjilbang and rest area, and it really does make you feel like you've been transported to Korea. The women's soaking pools are also spacious. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was really disappointing. The jjimjilbang rooms were noticeably cooler than I remembered. Most of them were barely warm enough to make me sweat, and even the hottest room didn't feel hot at all. At first, I assumed something was malfunctioning, which I would have completely understood. However, I asked the front desk and was told that these are going to be their regular temperatures moving forward because they had been cited by the health department for the rooms being too hot. I understand that they have to comply with health department requirements, but for someone who specifically comes here for the traditional Korean sauna experience, this completely changes the experience for me. If I'm going to a sauna, I expect to sweat. The LA weather outside honestly feels hotter than some of the sauna rooms now. It's unfortunate because iSpa used to be worth the hour-plus drive for me, and I genuinely loved coming here. The atmosphere is still beautiful and unique, but without the heat I expect from a Korean sauna, I don't think I'll be making the drive back.

Having booked the service, we were allowed to utilize the amenities located in the spa. In order to get to the spa (if you're not staying in the hotel), you had to drive into the front entrance of the hotel. This is located on the side opposite of PCH. The only real option to park is through valet service which the spa takes care of as part of the cost of the service. Our massages were booked for 2pm but we arrived around 11:30am to have lunch and enjoy the amenities. The food was pretty good and the servings were plentiful. We got a chicken Cesar wrap and the charcuterie board. You're able to eat and have the food brought over just like you were ordering room service, it was definitely room service cost and they charged for delivery to the garden. After we finished eating, we lounged in the garden to catch some sun. This is the part where I say that it almost fit the bill... the weather loved tents providing shade had mold on the canvas. Maybe it was just weather warn because it does stay outside all year round? Not sure but I'm thinking that it definitely looked like mold to me. After the sun, we enjoyed the indoor amenities of steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. For me, there a few other patrons enjoying the amenities but my boyfriend said that he pretty much had the men's locker room all to himself. My favorite part about the amenities was the shower. The shower had a rainfall shower, a handheld shower and then several steam shower heads on three of the walls. The products in the shower smelled great and I would definitely use them again. For our massages, we have the couples suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous complete with 2 massage tables, 2 sinks, a gorgeous tub, 2 separate showers this beautiful stone piece on the far wall. Massages were great and relaxing. After the massages, our massage therapists led us out to the garden again to pretty much recover from the service and it was definitely needed. Upon checking it out from our service, we perused the gift shop. There were cute clothing pieces there as well as the products that were utilized as part of some of the services. When paying, they let us know that the gratuity was already covered in the cost so that was nice. Given the cost for each service, I thought it was a generous but also fair tip. Because we finished late afternoon, we decided to walk down to the pier and venture around there. We were able to keep the car there and the hotel bellman allowed us to store our gym bags in the hotel as well, all at no extra cost. If I was looking to splurge again, I would probably come back. What would sweeten the deal is if we were able to use the hotel pool too but they said that it is only allowed during the weekdays when the pool isn't too busy.

While my knee is ok, the right side of my body are sore from shoulder to toe. I had insomnia as the result of it. I returned to this massage place because every time I have serious issues of knots in my body, a therapist named Kim who is working here is able to fix them. Thus I only make appointments with her. She is the BEST. Hence, it took seversl times of sessions and mostly 90 minutes of sessions for 3 weeks as my issues are big but they were so worth it.

She provided me with the code and also contacted a server for me since no one had been by the pool area in a while. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five was the slight delay with poolside service, but the staff handled it well once I reached out. Overall, it was a peaceful day of rest, relaxation, and pampering. I'll definitely return.
