I would not recommend appointments here after 5pm. I called to schedule a 6:15 appointment and when I arrived at 6:10 I was told they were closed if I wanted to come back tomorrow. There were two people at the shop Doing nothing just sitting on their phones. I let them know I had an appointment and they just disregard me. Horrible service do not come to this place. read more

Mary is incredible!!!!! My cousin was getting married on 10/28/23 and my plan all week was to get my nails done on Friday after work. Well, I had a less than desirable day at work Friday and was relieved that I was already planning to get my nails done, because my soul really needed it (ladies, you know the feeling...) I had never been to this salon before but it was less than a minute from work, so why not? I wanted to get gel mani pedi and my eyebrows waxed. They closed at 7 but took me in anyway even though it was almost 6. I warned Mary ahead of time that my nails were really damaged and to just do her best. She was extremely sweet and strategized with me on the best way to do the nails without causing too much damage (my nail tips were very weak and splitting). She ended up putting acrylic tips, dip base, and gel on top. They came out beautifully. Mary and I talked, joked, and laughed almost the whole time. When it was time for the pedicure, I met Kathy who was equally as sweet and fun to talk to. By the time the pedicure was done, it was almost 8 so I didnt mention the eyebrows and I think Mary forgot. Just as well, I felt bad enough they kept me an hour past their closing time!! But they were extremely gracious, kind, and took their time with me. They gave me their card and told me to call next time so they can wait for me. I definitely dont want to go anywhere ever again. These ladies gave me much needed laughs and me-time after having a trying day at work, and I am forever grateful for that. Oh, and somehow all this only cost $96? Honestly, I expected much more for the service and quality and $96 seemed a bit low to me. The people who work here don't know how special and good they are. read more

I was hesitant to do my pedicure here cause the place was not as fancy as other places. But oh boy these ladies are very nice, Lily did pedicure today, she took her time, she did not pressure me to get the most expensive package like in all places I've been to, they always hustle me and that's why I never go back to those nail salons. My first time here great experience and the most affordable place I could found. Very chill place, I loved it, I will def coming back.please notice I came on a Monday so it wasn't busy at all, maybe that helped too. read more

This is my 4th or 5th time coming here and I will continue to come back. The manager here is so sweet and kind, and all employees do a phenomenal job whether it's a manicure, pedicure, or waxing. They really take their time and don't rush anything. I always come with my mom and sisters. Other places are rude and try to rush you in and out as fast as possible and this place does not do that. They are truly amazing and are very fair with prices read more

It was okay. Went in with my daughter we wanted to have a mom and daughter nail date they did her right away other people came in they got serviced and when my daughter was done they wanted to take me in. I didn't stay for myself the point was both of us together. read more

Not impressed with my lady's service. Seemed as if she rushed through my gel manicure. Also was pretty aggressive with filing my nails- excess filing caused nails to burn/sting. read more

I finally found my nail spot. The ladies at this business are professionally and friendly. I went yesterday with my daughter and they were so nice, especially with my daughter. They did a design on her toe and she was just so happy. Usually nail polish doesn't last more then a few hours but the polish has lasted over night. I will definitely be going back to get our nails done read more

Simply put Cathy is the best. She's my girl and always does such a great job. She does everything: nails, eyelashes, eyebrows you name it she can do it 10/10. She gets booked up so call and make an appointment ahead you won't be disappointed. read more

Cathy is my girl!!! I would drive for an hour on the 405 if that was my only option. I do not trust anyone else to wax my brows! I have never gotten eyelash extensions, but if I ever do, I will see Kathy as her work is impressive & natural looking. I've been coming here for a few years from when I was a student to a staff member at CSUN. The nail technicians know me on a first name basis. They already know how I want my pedicure and that I prefer short & natural/nude polishes. There have been times where I messed up the polish within minutes after leaving the salon and they've been more than happy to fix it for me. I hope business picks up for them as Covid (and Csun campus closure) has been hard on them. They follow Covid precautions and keep the shop very clean. Thanks ladies! read more

FIRST VISIT!! I was worried because I know that the China glaze brand sets matte and I wanted a shiny effect but she put the shiny coat over it- love it! Neon is in because it is a hot girls summer after all hahah. But I came the day before since I saw it while I went to get boba and the student discount sign outside caught my eye. If you're a student you get a $1 off discount! I was greeted right away and asked how much a pedi was and the lady very nicely said $16 but $15 with a student discount!! She let me know to call before coming to make sure I don't wait and have someone right away. Called the next day and was told to come in an hour, got there 20 minutes early and was taken in early almost right away. Everyone there was super nice, you can tell they weren't trying to make you feel uncomfortable. Great atmosphere! Would definitely come back!! read more

Love getting my eyebrows and nails done by Kathy! She's been doing my brows for over 13 years and even after I graduated from CSUN and moved to studio city, I still drive to see her! The nicest person and she does a great job. read more

Love Love Love The Nail Shoppe!! Kathy is so amazing and so kind! She put on my eye lashes beautifully but because I have a history of allergies and eye issues, the lashes had it come off. I called her and explained what happened and without any hesitation she told me to come in for a full set of acrylics and pedicure at no charge or tip. I arrived late after work almost closing time yet she took her time and did a beautiful job! I'm showing them off to everyone!! I would highly recommend the Nail Shoppe to everyone!! Great prices and excellent customer service and the ladies just want the customer to be happy. read more

I only had my eyebrows done, so I can't comment on the work they do on nails. I went in with a friend and she had Kathy do her eyebrows. I waited to see how her's turned out since I am very leery of new people doing my brows because I've had so many bad experiences. When my friend came out looking fab, I decided to give her a try. She did a wonderful job and made my eye brows look better than I had seen them look in a long time. Dare I say, better than the threading that I have had done at the Shapes. I am not too enthused with the idea of waxing but she seemed to be clean with the wax, so I have no complaints. Lastly, the brows cost 10 dollars. What else is there to say? I'm a fan, read more

I'm new to the area and it's been awhile since I got my nails done so I went to the closest one near CSUN. I came across this one and the ladies seemed very friendly. The prices were a bit pricier than what I'm use to since I reside in Pasadena but I was in desperate need for acrylics so I didn't even second guess the price I just rolled with it. Me and two other friends accompanied me and we all needed them done and the ladies took us right away. However! they kept making us change seats. I found this quite odd. I moved seats at least 3 times and one of my friends moved seats twice. The lady made me take my old nail polish off myself and that's something I'm definitely not use to. The job didn't take too long but she was kind of rough with my hands. I didn't like that at all. In conclusion the overall experience there was OK. I do like the results, and CSUN students get a discount ($2) off not bad, but the seat hopping and how rough the lady was totally annoyed me. I want to see how long these nails last, that's the true test of great results. read more

I really liked this place. Mary did my acrylics and she was great about checking on my satisfaction. She was also really nice. I walked in and sat down immediately along with several other walk-ins. Price was great. Only $23 not including tip. I will come back and I do recommend read more

This place is great! I went today for a gel fill, pedicure, and eyebrow wax. All the ladies were so friendly and did a great job. The fill was a little slower then usual but that also could be because I was super tired. I am super anal about who does my nails and this place definitely got an A. Id recommend it to anyone in the area! read more

Very few staff members, but they keep busy! I went in and took my time with the colors, eventually choosing a very dark chocolatey red in celebration of Valentine's Day. Lina did my manicure and pedicure, and was skilled and quick. I wanted to tell her that the water to dip my hands in was cold, but I didn't have the heart to tell her. Beware of the foot spa water, though! It will take some time to get adjusted to the extremely hot water! Lina, though very quick, also happened to be a bit too rushed. When putting lotion on my legs, she left a small glob on my right leg and didn't last long on the massage. They provided me with disposable sandals and a fan to dry my nails. The CSUN discount was $1 off for manicure and $1 off for pedicure, so I have it to Lina as a tip. She didn't seem grateful at all, but I understood. They all need improvement in their customer service skills, but at least they made my nails look good! read more

Literally just got kicked out the second I walked in. They asked me what I needed, I smiled and said "pedicure." Girl comes out from the back saying, "can you come back? We busy long long time?... okay thank you" and just walked away. I was so confused... I asked "is there a wait? - I can Wait" and she responded "oh no busy long long time." I dont know, but I felt like they did not want to take me in, it felt kind of awkward too because I had phoned in 5 minutes before and asked about their prices and if they took card... why didn't they mention they weren't taking walk ins then?... again... really bazaar, felt totally unwelcome. read more

I have been going to The Nail Shoppe for several years and finally decided it's time to write a review. It's a no-frills place, but it's clean, the parking is easy, the prices are right, the technicians are super nice, and they do a great job. The Nail Shoppe is located in a strip mall at the corner of Reseda and Prairie, with plenty of parking. While they accept walk-ins, you may need to wait a bit if you go this route. On weekend mornings, it's pretty crowded, but on weekdays after work, it's never that bad. For walk-ins, the best time to arrive is right when they open at 9:00am; between 2:00-4:00pm; after 6:00pm. Personally, I just call them on the morning I want to get in, and they'll give me a timeslot within an hour or two. They offer spa and regular nail treatments. A regular mani/pedi combo is $25. I usually just get a regular pedicure for $15 and give them a $20 bill. The technicians are all very sweet, but a nice little tip goes a long way here. They like cash, and I believe they charge a $1 fee for using debit and credit card. The regular manicures and pedicures are great. I've never had a bad one. Each technician is receptive to directions if you want your nails shorter, longer, rounder, or more squared, etc. They don't rush you out. The facilities are simple but clean, and they always open a new packet of tools for each customer. There is also a room in the back where a super sweet technician named Kathy does waxing and eyelashes. I've gone to her for bikini waxing and have always been pleased. She seems to have a big clientele that goes to her for eyelashes - definitely make an appointment if you want that service. I've never had this done, but it looks like she does a good job. All in all, I highly recommend The Nail Shoppe. I've had my nails done by all of the technicians, and I do have a few favorites, but I'll trust my nails to any of them. I've gone to fancier places and paid higher prices, but there's no need to with this place around! read more

I recently started coming to this spot at the beginning of this year. I went in during my appointment time and apparently there was the first misunderstanding of my appointment being set up for another time, but i didn't let it bother me so i set up another time and still came in. I had to come in during my work hour so I was on my laptop working. I asked for a regular pedicure nothing extra, the lady continues to do a gel pedicure on a "spa" chair which apparently is extra. I wasn't made aware that any of this was extra or that she added gel to my nails. She proceeded to charge me $37 instead of $18!! She says she didn't want to bother me cause I was working on my laptop so she took it upon herself to complete all these add ons and charge me without me knowing. All i want is a refund for the gel which is an extra $15. They don't even want to do that. NEVER coming back. read more

I had a very pleasant experience at this place. I got acrilics and a pedi, both french.$28.00 for the Acrilics and $18.00 for the pedi. Customer service was great. I love my nails! read more

I was not too impressed by the manicure I got. It looked pretty sloppy. The man who painted my nails, turned on the little fan to dry them and never came back. Eventually one of the other workers told me my nails were dry and good to go. They got smushed and ruined right when I got home and put on a sweater. When I went to get them fixed, they used the wrong color on the nails that were messed up. They also looked bubbly. Will not go back read more

I called around, & these guys had the best prices. $26 for a white tip, full set. They took me in the same day, & I didn't have to wait long! I had Mary, she was kind and didn't rush or work roughly on my hands. This place is great for CSUN students like me! I'm a happy customer :) read more

Got my GEL nails, paid $40 for them, and was told they were going to last a month. It's been a week and my pinky nail has fallen off not once, but TWICE. I got my nail fixed the first time and the woman who did it gave me the nastiest look because I wasn't going to pay for it. Never coming back again. read more

Everyone at this shop is so nice. Got a pedicure and lady made sure i liked the color i picked out on one nail before she continued. I didn't like it and picked another but she was great, patient and very sweet. My pedicure looks great and I will be definitely be back! I would recommend calling before heading over because it's a small shop and they get pretty busy. read more

Have been going here for years and still go after being done with school for 2 and a half years. The ladies always take care of me and do a good job! They usually take me without an appointment but I do recommend making one just in case it's a busy day read more

Horribly rude Vietnamese people who judged me for not speaking "my own language ". They told me a gel color only would be $15 with my student discount but charged me $35 when I was done. It was so dirty my fingers and nails were sticky at the end and the color didn't even cover my whole nail. Just awful. read more

DON'T try this place!!! I went to get my nails done here and thought.."how bad can it be?"Getting your nails done at this nail salon is truly a waste of money. The mani/pedi looked unprofessional, uneven, and the edges were messed up. After leaving the salon, I had air bubbles on my nails as well. I went back and instead of fixing the problem, she added another layer of polish which would not dry. I waited under the fan for half an hour but shortly after leaving the second time, got steaks all over my nails. And because I was going to an event that evening, I had my nails done somewhere else. ...such as waste!! read more

Don't come here to relax or after a long day at work. A processing fee if you use your credit card to pay. I mean thats ridiculous! A $1 fee really ..? If you have an appointment you still have to wait 15-20 mins on average till your seen. Quality of work I have to say is excellent but such unprofessional service. read more
