Had my first manicure here ! So happy I chose this place ! They did a great job and gave me arms massage at the end ! Thank you !

I came for a gel manicure and pedicure but once I saw how my pedicure was going I let them know I wouldn't be doing the mani anymore. I hadn't done my toes for months bc it was a luxury for my finances. I finally had the time and money to go and I'm so disappointed:( this was 40$. I really wish I didn't come here, I only came because my mother is in the hospital near here. The lady was nice but I will not be going again.

"Tony Tony," I called out to the owner while his wife worked on my dip nails. After the forth time hollaring- Tony. The wife replies -"His names Mike." I started laughing soooooo HARD, I almost fell outta my chair! The wife of the owner goes-YOU'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG. It's true, I hadn't been at my fav nail salon in Alllllllll of L.A. in over 5+ years. So long, I forgot their names. I go-"But, I'm gonna call him Tony anyways. He looks like a Tony." Everyone's laughing by now. "Or Jackie Chan,"-I go. Lmao. The wife is cracking up now! She goes-"Do you even remember my name?" I go-"Yeah it's Jackie!" She's laughing hysterically- "No, it's Kathy, Nadia you've been gone too long." The jokes continue- " So next time I call to make an appointment, I'm gonna ask-Hey is Jackie available for Dip Nails?" Now more laughter just escaping from both us ladies. Kathy goes-"That's fine you make appt with Jackie, and you come here we make you wait...no Jackie." LmFao. I JUST CANT!!! This should sum up how AMAZING MIKE AND KATHY ARE. This hubby and wife duo are unstoppable. They are so caring, there's no bad vibes here, just stories, jokes, and laughs. They said... in all the time I was gone they missed my laugh, and remembered me by my laugh. They truly made me feel like a part of the Vina Nails family. At one point they said that laughter is good luck for them. I have brought, my friends, and family to this location. Finally, a spot where you don't have to worry about shit talking, or bad vibes. I LOVE THAT!! Everyone is made to feel important, and beautiful here. All people are welcomed. I even had a few chats with customers. If anyone wants a partner to do nails with on a girlie date. Message me, we'll make it happen. Or going solo, tell them Nadia the red haired girl who laughs a lot sent ya. Kathy and Mike will be so happy. You'll be taken care of. -Mike offered a bottled water!! Ty! -Kathy helped me choose natural colors for my nails! -There's private parking, or street parking! -Pedicure & manicure special Monday-Wednesday! -Newly remodeled looks amazing!!! -$45 for dip nails-they last a month! Longer than acrylic. They can be applied to your natural nails. It doesn't stink, like polishes or gels. Natural option. Try it if you haven't. (Next time, I'll Make a video for you guys) Kathy was also one of the first ever to get certified for SNS dip nails before they became popular. So, she's literally the OG in dip nails. I love coming here, and even after being MIA for so long, the love I received upon my return was so refreshing, and totally mind blowing. Thanks Mike, and Kathy for being so amazing and loving.

I loved the ladies that are here. The only thing is that after couple days the gel on my nails started to peel. It's very unfortunate and I wished it didn't happen. I went back and got it fixed for free, but it peeled again the very next day.

My nail ended up chipping the very same day. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else!

Extremely disappointed with the service. It took over an hour and a half to get a regular gel x manicure. Lady that helped me had a terrible attitude. When I asked her to please be gentle she just giggled and continued to be rough. I asked if she was mad or if she needed to get another tech to do my nails. Since there was no one else available, I just sucked it up until the service was done. When the service was done, it looked terrible. There was cotton stuck in the nails, nail polish was all over my fingers, nails were missing polish. It was a mess. Who I think may have been the owner did offer to make it right but I had already wasted almost two hours there, and I had things to do. So she just polished off some of the polish and I left the salon. Needless to say, I will never be coming back. My cuticles had multiple cuts and were sensitive for days. Place has really lost its glamour, professionalism and good costumer service. Vibe is off now.

I've been coming since i was 7 years old and brought my daughter to do her nails for the first time. Let me just say Mike and the whole crew are amazing, I don't trust anyone else to do my daughter nails like mike. They were sweet and gentle with her she keeps showing her hands because she's so happy. Love them give them a chance you won't be disappointed.

What I asked for vs what I got
Ciara G.

I wish I could give zero stars. DO NOT go here. My nails turned out a completely different color than advertised. I couldn't stop them in advance because dip nail doesn't show its real color until the end. I always assume it'll be a shade or two off but not two totally different colors. They would not give me a refund or let me change out the color without being charge. UPDATE: I wrote this while waiting to get my nails redone... AFTER they argued with me multiple times that it wasn't there fault and that I had to pay for a new set or leave. They also said that the color I saw on their display nail had faded and hadn't been updated in 5 years... how is that my fault?? Update your display and this wouldn't be an issue...They were willing to let me leave with my nails like that... and didn't change their mind about me paying for it until I was at the checkout counter. Mind you, they just did gel on top of the dip nail and it's already chipped on two fingers after 2 days because it wasn't properly placed. Review photos.

I wanted to like this place. They were kind enough to take me and my cousin as walk ins on Mother's Day for a fill and pedi for myself and a polish change and nail fix for her. We arrived around 1:45-2pm or so. We were told that it would be about a 30 minute wait. We agreed. We waited patiently for what seemed like more than 30 minutes. It was actually an hour. No one checked in to say they were running later than expected. We assumed they were still ok to take us. From this moment, I can only speak on my experience. When it was finally our turn to sit in the chair, the gentleman who did my nails repeatedly implied (nicely) that we should have called before coming and that it's better to make an appointment and on and on. His comments made me feel uncomfortable, only because they agreed to take us on a walk in basis. If it was an imposition to accommodate us, it would have been ok to say they could not take walk ins at the moment. I would have happily made an appointment or gone elsewhere at another time. Anyway, The manicurist basically rushed me through. My nails looked thick and lumpy, the polish was not cleaned up around my cuticles. When I pointed out the imperfections, he tried to correct a couple of them but left the others as they were. He just kept repeating that we should have made an appointment, he needed to get home and that they closed soon (it was about 3:45-4:00pm at this time). I was then informed that time did not permit for the pedicure they agreed to see me for. I didn't make a fuss--clearly they were understaffed (something they already knew when they agreed to see us). Sadly, I will not visit this salon again. I'll post pics below (excuse my dry hands at the time of the pics ). Good luck to anyone who visits this salon. I will say that the staff was friendly if nothing else. Just disorganized. Hopefully, you'll have a better experience than I.

Nails , these are horrible!!!

Kathy is amazing! And so is Mike! Unfortunately I went another time and had an issue with my nails (see pictures). Kathy and Mike were on vacation and when they found out her and Mike redid my nails for free! The girl who wrecked my nails seemed to be new and cut them so short my fingers bled! On top of that when she applied polish, it bubbled and peeled right off before even exiting the salon. She said it looked beautiful and I knew it didn't there was nothing amazing about them. The girl next to her was in such shock seeing my fingers the look on her face was priceless! Not only were my nails messed up they told me I would have to come back the following day to fix them. I wore gloves the rest of the evening I was truly embarrassed to be seen. Kathy and Mike came back and redid my entire set of nails with such an amazing job. Where they don't lack is customer service and this is why I gave 4 Stars. At the end of the day the owners customer service is quality, their manicurists just need more training.

But with Ricki, I NEVER have post treatment skin issues, and she makes the entire process as painless as possible. Her vibes are incredible, which is great when you're in the vulnerable situation of getting a brazilian! Ricki also does my brow lamination and tinting. I came to try it once five years ago and I've been back about every month or so ever since haha, I love the way I feel with Ricki-fied brows. They give me the extra boost of confidence I need to thirve. I've had three promotions since I started seeing her, if that gives you any idea of the level of confidence we are talking.

For…read morecontext, there were things on my end that caused some issues/inconveniences, but everyone I interacted with went beyond making my experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Initially, I had some trouble booking an appointment online. I ended up reaching out to the posted phone number, and I was helped out promptly (even though I messaged them relatively late, and usually past open hours for other businesses.) With their help and knowledge, they were able to figure out that it was the internet browser and autofill that was preventing the webpage from working properly. Once that was figured out, everything went according to plan and I was able to successfully make a booking. Additionally, I was so blessed to have had Ashley guide me through my first time. She was clearly knowledgeable in her expertise and I cannot emphasize enough how great of an educator she was! I had LOTS of questions but she clearly and warmly communicated the information with me. I also want to highlight how safe the environment she provided was. You can tell how much care and consideration she puts into every client's individual and personal wants and needs. Also, this is technically outside the services, but I had a little predicament (absolutely caused by me) before the start of my appointment. I was already having a tough day and was just looking forward to the waxing as a way to end the night. With my luck, I accidentally dropped my keys in the locked stairwell when I was climbing up from the garage So many scenarios and "solutions" were running through my head but everything made me feel defeated. It took lots of rumination and freaking out, but I ended up just going up to Brave Kitty Waxing and communicating my situation with them. I was warmly welcomed by Ashley and right from the start, she treated me with kindness and respect. I was a HUGE nervous wreck but she recognized the situation and she was able to problem solve quickly. We did end up getting it resolved and I got my keys back! I wanted to mention this as this problem was 100% my fault and caused by me and she absolutely did not need to help me out. This happened right before my scheduled slot time and I felt so bad taking so much of her time and energy. Our very first interaction was me freaking out BAD, but she was nothing but a beacon of joy and calm. I was also evidently still anxious/jittery once we started our session, but Ashley's presence and professionalism was very grounding and reassured how safe I felt in their hands throughout the whole process. My first experience had some bumps (because of me) but I was met with nothing but understanding and compassion from everyone who helped me out with Brave Kitty Waxing (+the maintenance man I would like to give him recognition and thanks as well.) I was already aware of the environment they provided (from others' reviews), but I was not expecting how much above and beyond everyone would be. I am excitedly looking forward to my future sessions! Thank you again to Brave Kitty Wax for providing such a personal and protected space and experience

Safe space for women of all shapes and sizes. Worth every penny! My first experience with Brave Kitty was almost 10 years ago at their previous location. I went in for a Brazilian at 8 1/2 months pregnant. I felt like a whale, but the lady made me feel so welcomed. She did an amazing job and it was quick. After having kids I just never got waxed again. Then finally 1 year ago I decided it was time to ditch the razor and get back to waxing. I've been going regularly since then. Would recommend this place to every woman. 100/100

Courtney at GBY not only does incredible work, making her guest feel comfortable and placing each lash with care, but the formulation in the glue she uses has been the best I've ever received. I am a sweater and honestly not 100% at taking off my makeup and the lashes have such little fallout. Constantly I'm getting questions of whether my lashes are real and I never miss a chance to shout out Courtney. I was so impressed that I went ahead and dove into their other services and everything had been stellar: spray tans from Kendra making me glow during wedding season, Courtney's expertly crafted microblading, waxing, and more. The whole shop feels like home, smells like heaven, and keeps you coming back not only because you feel like a million bucks afterwards but because you're now a GBY babe, a member of the family.
