It only took me coming here once to make this place my go to spot! I love how clean it is here, and how friendly everyone is. Jenny is a nail wizard, and I always get endless compliments on my nails wherever I go. She's always open to whatever crazy design I bring as a reference. Highly recommend!!!

Came in here to try it out because of all the reviews. A girl was in there before me for a pedicure, her pedicure started about 15 minutes before mine. The owner said she could take me in about 10 minutes so I waited. Upon arrival I added time to my meter, an hour. The owner seemed annoyed, like she was being inconvenienced by me... a customer. I still gave it a chance which I regret because she rushed through it. The girl sitting next to me had not even gotten polishing added by the time my "pedicure" was done. She was rude, rushed, seemed annoyed and my pedicure was terrible. I still have so much cuticle around my toes which she didn't remove. Will never come back here again. Posted a picture of the meter showing I still had 39 minutes remaining from when I added 1 hour from the moment she arrived to the salon. She essentially charged me $40 for a polish.

Super cute place, very quiet and clean. Jenny and monica are both amazing!! I got a mani and pedi, both were great! So many pretty colors to choose from! Jenny got the shape and length of nails perfect, I'm obsessed! Would highly recommend!

If you're in Hollywood and are struggling to find a truly exceptional nail shop, stop searching right now... no I mean it, I have found the holy grail, and it's called Valora!! Jenny, is the absolute best in the business. She is a true artist who, literally, every design she does is meticulously executed! My nails are always, Absolutely beautiful, trendy and long-lasting! I am not exaggerating when I say I constantly receive compliments on my nails. I am just as happy with them on the last day before my next appointment as I am the moment I walk out the door. The shine holds, the design stays intact, it's phenomenal! The environment, a vibe you can't beat! The shop's environment is a sanctuary, peaceful atmosphere, great music, the best conversations; and lastly the cutest Mascot an adorable little puppy girl, Mimi! Seriously, Five Stars is not enough, this place deserves ten! Go see Jenny!

DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL PLACE. (Even after posting this they texted me to stop "attacking" them when all I did was post my experience. Very unprofessional) I was very disappointed with my experience at the salon. 1. I booked my appointment with a specific nail technician, but when I arrived, I was assigned to someone else. When I brought this up, I was told that it was my responsibility to ask who would be doing my nails and that I should have confirmed this myself in order to make sure I was seen by the technician I had originally booked with. 2. From the beginning of the appointment, my nail technician, Monica, seemed upset or bothered, which made me feel uncomfortable throughout the service. 3. The nail design I received looked nothing like the reference I showed. I tried to explain what I wanted, but there was still confusion. To make things easier and avoid any further issues, I decided to ask for a single solid color instead. 4. Even after switching to a plain color, the polish was still uneven, with areas around the edges and tips missing color. In addition, there is visible glue underneath my nails, making the application look messy and unfinished. I chose not to ask for additional corrections because Monica already seemed frustrated, and I didn't feel comfortable bringing up more concerns. 5. I also brought my little sister for a manicure, and during her service, she was accidentally cut badly enough that she started bleeding. That was very concerning and should have been handled with greater care. After the appointment, I decided to call the salon directly to see what could be done about the situation. During the call, I was initially told that I could receive a refund, and I agreed to that. I then asked how the refund would be processed and whether they needed my card information or any other information from me. The employee told me she was going to call me back. As I was asking if she needed my phone number, she hung up on me. I called the salon back, and I was then told that I actually I would need to come back into the salon and bring my sister with me so they could remove the work that had been done before issuing the refund. I explained that my sister was now out of town and would not be able to return to the salon. At the end I agreed to leave it but mentioned that the way they handled the whole situation was not ok and I would not going back. After all of this, the salon called me back and asked me to send pictures of my nails so they could see what I was referring to. Once they saw the pictures, they apologized and acknowledged the issues I had described. They ultimately issued me a refund. I appreciate that they eventually reviewed the situation, apologized, and issued the refund. However, I was very disappointed that it took multiple phone calls and additional explanation before the situation was resolved. Overall, this experience did not meet the level of quality or customer service I expected from the salon.

Gel X Mani done by Jenny
Jennifer P.

This salon just opened up so I wanted to check it out. I came early and was seen right away. Jenny started working on my nails and I showed her a picture of the design I wanted and she understood immediately what I was going for. I received the Gel X manicure and the appointment was about an hour or so, literally the quickest nail appointment I've had. The design was perfectly executed I was so happy with it, and no pain!! I get nervous with the filing and clipping but Jenny was gentle with it all. Will definitely be back, the quality of work done is amazing.

As a man getting my nails done for the first time, I genuinely felt seen and heard here. Maru and Jenny went above and beyond--my nails are clean, shaped perfectly, and I left feeling fresh. The vibe was great too: good music, relaxing atmosphere, tasty little treats, and I even got greeted at the door by Mimi, their adorable pup. Overall, an amazing experience.

I highly recommend coming to Valora! The customer service is incredible -- I was greeted with hot tea, water, and the cutest little snack. The whole experience was so calming, detailed, and thoughtful. She did a wonderful job, and I'll definitely be coming back. Support your local businesses! Thank you so much

I'm happy this beautiful GEM opened up down the street from my house. It's very clean, beautiful and well organized. I had an amazing time with Jenny. She is very sweet, knowledgeable and professional. Her attention to detail is remarkable! My nails are amazing, she listens to my needs and I am so thankful! I will be back!

She's also flexible as I told her I'm local and if she has an earlier time slot to let me know and she did! And when the color she chose wasn't matching my inspo pic, she gladly let me choose the color I wanted. She was very efficient especially since she was also filming for content but I don't think it affected the outcome cause you know what they say about diamonds- made under pressure!!

I prefer techs that are straightforward and honest so neither of our time is wasted. Her studio is accessible via bus and requires walking up an outdoor set of stairs to access it. IT was very clean, well lit, and I felt comfortable in my season-appropriate clothes. She offered for me to use the restroom and space for my bag and jacket. As I arrived, her current client was leaving right on time-- I saw them both laughing and overheard that she's a repeat client so It let me know people trust Nia! Nia uses very good quality supplies! Plus she has a huge selection of colours! My whole appointment she worked super efficiently and was friendly yet professional in how she communicated to me. I'm so grateful for my nails!

My life has been changed by this salon!…read more I have never gotten a Russian gel manicure before today and I can't tell you the last time I LOVED my nails before today. I was completely missing out?! Rosanna did my nails so beautifully and she was so sweet. At this salon, they really care and truly pay such great attention to every detail to make your nails perfect. Usually, I leave a basic nail salon unhappy, with chunky acrylic nails. But, today I left Marivanna nails sooo satisfied and in love with my nails!! :)

I was very hopeful for this salon and drove an hour to be dissatisfied with my set…read more I booked a Russian manicure with 10% off - which I assumed would be $94.50 due to the length of my nails (medium is $105). However, I was caught off guard when I was charged "long nail" fee of $115 with no 10% discount as indicated in their website. Additionally, my art was $40; $20 for a French tip on only 6 nails and another $20 for chrome on 4 nails, totaling $155 (lol). For this price, I expect absolute perfection, but this set was underwhelming. The original design I chose was not fully executed, and the French tips were uneven (higher on the right) and streaky. The shaping could also use some improvement. That said, the Russian manicure itself was decent. The cuticle work was excellent and probably the highlight of my appointment. While I appreciated the great cuticle work, I left feeling dissatisfied with the service and the value for what I paid.
