Rachel killed it and I'm stoked with how my first manicure experience turned out! The gunmetal color looks so good. I had the pleasure of meeting Alli & Saul, and everyone seems like a such great group of people. Will definitely be coming back. The place is a vibe read more

Toolbox - Gunmetal - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Totally satisfied with her work and service. I highly recommend her. The facilities are very comfortable.

FINALLY, A STRAIGHT-MALE FRIENDLY NAIL PLACE!! Are you a straight guy who's always wanted to try a nail salon but felt too intimidated because you didn't know what to ask for--or too worried your "masculine ego" couldn't handle being seen there? Fear no more. This is the spot to get the treatment you didn't know you needed. I just got back from hiking Half Dome in Yosemite and tried their Athletic Treatment for the first time. Worth every penny. By the end, the soreness in my feet was gone, and I couldn't stop staring at my toes on the walk back--they were actually shiny. I didn't even know toes could do that. The staff was super welcoming, answered all my questions without judgment, and the space itself strikes a perfect balance--not overly masculine or feminine, just clean, neutral, and comfortable. Plus, they use gloves for treatments, which was a nice touch. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but if you stop wasting money on stupid shit like sports betting or crypto, you could spend it on something guaranteed to make you feel good. Why are you still reading this? Go now, before they blow up and it becomes impossible to get an appointment. read more

Chill, cozy atmosphere and a really nice service. I've been in the neighborhood for a while before my first visit - and I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner. Go see them, you'll be happy about the whole experience! read more

Toolbox does a great job. Billed as a salon catering to male clients, I felt right at home and nodded off during my treatments. Dee and Wendy were fantastic! I highly recommend and will return when I am next in LA! read more

I gaze down at my now blue hued toes and for the first time, absolutely love my toes! Toolbox Nails are the BEST! read more

Amazing pedicure! One of the best pedicures I've ever had! The space is VERY clean. Beautiful well designed salon. The design is simple, tasteful, and not overly girly, making it feel more like a private upscale lounge than a typical nail salon. The furniture and decor are high quality, and the overall atmosphere is calm and refined. read more

Luxury manicure/pedicure experience. Highly recommend especially for anyone who is sensitive to the usual nail salon chemical smell

This place is amazing! The space is beautiful--modern, super comfortable, and spotless. I was offered a drink as soon as I arrived, which was such a nice touch. The seating is really comfortable and the overall vibe makes you feel at ease right away. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They were welcoming, professional, and just genuinely pleasant to spend time with. The service itself was excellent from start to finish. What I especially love is that while the salon is designed with male-presenting clients in mind, it's very inclusive and accommodating for everyone. It feels refreshing to be in such a thoughtful and inviting environment. Highly recommend if you're looking for a top-notch nail salon experience! read more

I'm a chronic nail biter and I also work with my hands a lot so my fingers get banged up at work. I decided to get a manicure to hopefully keep my mind off biting. It was my first manicure so I didn't know what to expect really. The staff were really welcoming and the manicurist was very professional. She explained what she was doing and gave me options on what I wanted. The place was really cozy inside, chill music, comfy chairs and they gave me a nice cold drink. I'm no hand model for sure, but my nails haven't looked this good in over a decade. I'll be back for sure, and maybe I'll add a pedicure next time. read more

Absolutely loved this place! They specialize in men's grooming and as a woman I had a wonderful experience! They had plenty of same day availability. The ladies who work there were SO kind and helpful. This was hands down my favorite nail salon experience (and I've been to a LOT). I will certainly be back! They have such a unique and calming vibe and were so attentive. They did a GREAT job on my pedicure too. Allison and Wendy made my day! read more

It took an hour and 15 minutes for a basic pedicure, only to be finished with drugstore-quality polish and results that honestly looked like I did them myself. The polish smudged and blotched shortly after, even though I waited before putting my shoes back on. For $60, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. Unfortunately, I won't be returning when I could have gotten a better pedicure elsewhere for half the price. read more

Went to the Toolbox for the first time today...won't be my last. The atmosphere is so comfortable and the people are so welcoming. Wendy did my nails and they look great! Finally have a new nail place!! It really is a 10 out of 10. Thank you Wendy and Saul. read more

Worst mani/pedi I've ever had in my life. Took 3hrs for nothing special just a regular mani/pedi. I have a high pain tolerance and I got severely cut during the service, but didn't realize how bad the cut was until I made it home. The cut wouldn't stop bleeding the rest of the day, and I also bled through the entire rest of the service. Accidents happen but it was a severe injury. An entire chunk of my skin was almost completely clipped off, it was barely hanging on. Unfortunately, the mani/pedi was entirely poor work. Cuticles untouched, poor nail polish job, jagged edges on pedicure. I've never left a bad review, so just think twice about coming here. I don't mind paying a good amount of money for a great service, but I payed $150 (and tipped) for a really poor 3hr mani/pedi no gel, no Russian, nothing just regular. Also, they only have "DazzleDry" polish in 15 colors or so, and it chipped within 2 days. I'm seriously not fussy at all. But I'm just giving my honest experience in case someone was looking for the kind of experience that I was looking for. Wish them the best. read more

Beautiful treatment. Loved my time here, and the great conversations. I have allergies to smells and Rachel was very specific to check all bottles for me. I really appreciated that extra effort! Thank you Rachel and I will be back again! read more

I am obsessed with this place. Wendy has some kind of magic touch when she puts on the polish.... It's been perfection every time. It's not a huge space, but big enough and the vibe (catered to or at least to make guys comfortable) is fantastic!! Being greeted and sent away by Sierra is the icing on top. Love this place and what feels like my special time!! read more

So glad these folks moved their business into the neighborhood! I love the simple business model that focused on what is important: calm vibes, quality work, and straightforward pricing. I find many salons overstimulating and expensive for what I am looking for in a nail treatment, but the folks at Toolbox delivered exactly what I asked for at a reasonable price. I will be coming back again! read more

Stopped by toolbox for the first time today. I was looking for extra TLC for my overworked feet and a "typical pedicure" from any other salon wasn't going to cut it. I got the athletic treatment at toolbox and the amount of massage time combined with the foot soak, hot stones, hot towels, and oils was out of this world. And I felt that there was more attention to detail on my cuticles, nail cutting, calluses than I ever had before. I also really appreciated the non toxic element of toolbox. No fumes or dust in the air. Major points in my book. I'll be a regular for sure :) read more

Great service. Regal, gentle puppy to great you, my nails look great, they're sanitary and they have instant dry polish that's not gel/dip. I don't like the smell of the scrub, but everything else was wonderful! read more

Great service, quality and vibe! Such a nice treat in the neighborhood and cozy elegant feel.

I was welcomed with open arms and the staff and owner were amazing. The personal touches were just what I needed for a Saturday morning. Fellas & Ladies if you are looming for a place that takes care of you look no further. I am a fan and will book appointments for myself, my girl and her boys frequently. Shout to Tanesha and D for a fabulous job. read more

From the moment I walked in, I immediately felt the warmth from the Toolbox Nail Team! Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Saul, a solid gentleman who definitely is creating great culture for men who appreciate services. Ann Q did a fantastic job with my nails. This was my first time having a service like this and she made me feel very comfortable with the experience. The rest of the staff were so warm and welcoming too. Definitely going to be a returning customer! Thanks Toolbox Team!! read more

I've been to Toolbox twice so far, once for a manicure, and once for a pedicure. Both experiences were absolutely lovely. The space is beautiful, the staff is incredibly attentive, and my nails looked fabulous after both appointments. If you're looking for some thing that feels like a luxury spa experience without the price tag, definitely come here. I love how it's a genderless experience too so I can bring my husband, and my dad too. read more

By far my favorite nail salon in L.A. The technician Rachel and all the others are fantastic. Detail Oriented and kind. Great ambience and wonderful owners. read more

I have nothing but spectacular things to say about Toolbox. First of all they were able to squeeze me in after they had a last-minute cancellation. Also, I arrived and was received by Aubrey who handled my overworked feet with respect and skill. I'm not normally excited to have anybody with clippers or scissors near my toes... but she was respectful of my anatomy. I'm definitely heading back on a regular basis to get my all of my nails needs handled. read more

Best pedicure in town. Dee is amazing. Even my podiatrist was impressed! Super clean space and very relaxing read more

Very attentive service in a totally genderless setting that is stylish and welcoming. Great pedicure. This is the place to bring any men in your life who are (still? It's 2023!) a bit hesitant to go to a more "standard" nail salon. read more

Toolbox was amazing. Very meticulous with their mani/pedi. The upper/lowers come with exfoliating scrub, massage and callous removal. So worth it. The facilities are clean and the vibes immaculate. Definitely worth a try. read more

What a beautiful place in a beautiful city! Having to get my nails done felt like a chore before but when I came in I felt pampered, loved, and well taken care of read more

Review written by Mrs Bruce: For Father's Day I took my husband for his first ever pedicure. He was quietly pleased but I am elated and I want to tell the world. Great ambience, fabulous staff, comfortable experience. Parking in back off the alley. read more

Toolbox - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Few tips if your going for the first time here -Go get a pedicure, yes get a PRE PEDICURE job done before you go to your appointment here (toolbox). because if you go with some long nails or you have a bad nail, they uncomfortably do the job but with a face like if they're disgusted, and they will take less time with you session cause of that just go get it over with I GUESS THEY EXPECT YOU TO GO WITH PERFECT NAILS -Be ready to feel a little awkward cause the guy in front/cashier is very stingy and will offer you a drink but after when it's time to pay he will REQUIRE YOU TO GIVE A TIP, Yes he doesn't ask he REQUIRES for THE TIP. - Service wise I got cut 2 times well 3 but one was minor - Job looked like it was half done - Person that was doing my nail didn't comunícate with me whatsoever (yes she speaks English) and everyone else was laughing and having a good time. - Lastly they use the same utensils that you can get from target, they don't use callus remover or foot scrubber or Nail drill sets nothing of that. NO DISRESPECT BUT JUST AN HONEST REVIEW read more

The best! Have been going here for almost 5 months now, and have always felt well cared for. Perfect spot for men uncomfortable going to a nail salon, but great for women as well. It's a super comfy space with a very warm and friendly staff. Love this place! read more

Toolbox has such a wonderful vibe. I went for a pedicure and then sent my husband to go a few weeks later. We both had a great experience, and it is such a relaxing space. Neutral colors, comfortable spa energy. My husband ended up going with two guy friends and all 3 agreed they would do it again. read more

Great pedicures for me and my husband! I typically dislike getting my nails done due to the smell, cleanliness, and atmosphere of typical nail salons -- Toolbox fixed all of these problems and also made it more welcoming for my husband to join. Will be back! read more
