I gave Vicky (@vickyss_nails on Instagram) three chances, and every time there was a problem. My nails chipped, broke, or started lifting almost immediately after each appointment. For something you pay good money for, that kind of quality is unacceptable. The final straw was going back yesterday to fix two nails from a set I had done just last Saturday. Less than a week later, two nails were already gone. We couldn't match the original color, so now two nails are a slightly a different shade. She didn't even bother to make them symmetrical. When I asked if she could at least paint the same two nails on the other hand so they would look intentional, she told me, 'Sorry, I can't.' After driving from Santa Clarita and giving her multiple opportunities, I can confidently say it was not worth it. The work does not last, the attention to detail is lacking, and the service when there's an issue is dismissive. I would not recommend. read more

Drakht is the sweetest and most attentive person when it comes to nails. She takes her time, asks if it's to your liking, and makes sure you leave completely happy. I always bring in a picture of what I want done (mostly off Pinterest) and she always delivers! Once I scratched my nails cooking and told her about it. She fixed it for me for free without even hesitating. I've been coming to her for about 6 months now and it's always a pleasant experience! read more

I love my nail tech, Draxtuhi! I found her through Instagram and I was so lucky to discover she's super close to my house. I always get a Russian manicure with hard gel, and it lasts sooo long -- sometimes even a full month. Every time I get my nails done with her, I leave super happy. Her work is incredibly detailed and always looks very clean and polished. She has so many beautiful colors that it's hard to choose, but she always gives the best suggestions! Everyone at the salon speaks Armenian, and I honestly don't mind at all. They're all so kind and welcoming -- sometimes they even offer me coffee and cake and make me feel like part of their salon family ‍ read more

Booked Drakhtui via IG, walked in first time there. No welcome, no greeting just " what color" . I chose my color and "trusted " her social media. Right off the bat she burned my finger with her tool and then again burned another finger. I've never done my nails and not have the person even ask for my name. She was clearly in a rush and it's just truly unbelievable how unprofessional she was. Also to note her work area was a mess, everything looked dirty. My hands look horrid and not worth 85 dollars. This is not the work she advertised, I feel like my 12 yr old daughter could have done a better job. Save yourself the time and money don't go here. read more

You Beauty Studio - Horrible Job! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I usually do my nails every three weeks and have a regular place I go to. I saw Drakht work came up on my Instagram feed and looked clean and beautiful, so I decided to try and come to you. I almost never complain, but I have honestly never received such a careless and disrespectful job in my life. There are visible gaps between my natural nail and the product. My cuticles and the entire nail area are covered with glue. All of my nails are extremely painful -- my cuticles, the surrounding skin, and even underneath the nails. The glue is stuck on my cuticles and under my nails, trapping the skin, and it is causing a lot of pain and discomfort. My nails look awful. They are completely uneven -- different lengths, widths, and shapes. One nail is wide, one thin, one short, one long, one round, and one almond-shaped. I have truly never experienced anything like this before. read more

Very unprofessional. I booked an appointment two days in advance for Wednesday at 10 AM and sent a deposit to Vicky. I arrived on time and waited over 15 minutes, but she never showed up. I tried calling and texting multiple times and received no response. Even other employees said they didn't know where she was. What's frustrating is that the salon is out of my way, and I rearranged my schedule for this appointment. Requiring deposits but not respecting clients' time is unacceptable. I would not recommend booking here. read more

This was one of the worst nail appointments I have ever had. My appointment was with a nail tech who goes by @drakht_nails on Instagram. She never introduced herself, so I do not even know her name. I found her through an Instagram ad and unfortunately did not check the salon reviews beforehand. The salon name is not listed anywhere on her page, which in hindsight feels intentional after reading the reviews tied to the address. When I arrived, I waited over 10 minutes inside the salon with no one available to check me in. I had messaged her on Instagram upon arrival but received no response. Eventually, someone asked what I was there for and called her from the back. She immediately began speaking to me in Armenian, which I do not understand, and appeared annoyed that I could not respond. She then repeatedly questioned whether I had actually booked with her, which made the interaction uncomfortable from the start. During the cuticle prep, my cuticles were burning intensely. Three of my fingers started bleeding, and one continued bleeding for a while. She applied products directly onto my actively bleeding finger without acknowledging it or apologizing. She did not explain what she was applying, and when I asked to see the product because it hurt and I was concerned about infection, she seemed visibly annoyed. Despite the bleeding, she continued rushing through the manicure, applying gel and asking me to place my fingers under the UV light, which caused significant discomfort. Throughout the appointment, whenever I asked to shorten my nails further or adjust the shape, I was met with clear attitude. She barely acknowledged me, spent most of the time speaking in another language with others in the salon, and even took a phone call mid-appointment. It genuinely felt like she was doing me a favor rather than providing a paid service. When she applied the French, I pointed out that the polish looked uneven. I asked multiple times for it to be corrected, and my concerns were ignored. The salon itself was extremely cluttered. There were items everywhere, making it difficult to even rest my arms on the table without knocking things over. The space was so crowded that there was a hair chair directly behind me, and the hair tech repeatedly bumped into me during the service as if I was in the way. Overall, the experience was stressful, uncomfortable, and unprofessional. There was constant attitude, poor communication, and very little care. I am now hoping I do not develop an infection and that my very sore cuticles heal soon. It was also extremely difficult to communicate in English with anyone in the salon, and it felt unwelcoming unless you spoke their language. read more

This was an absolutely horrible experience from start to finish. My nail tech, Vicky, aka @vickyss_nails on Instagram was incredibly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Any time I asked a question or expressed concern, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing her. There was zero customer service and no effort to make the experience pleasant. On top of that, the salon itself was dirty and unsanitary. My station was messy, tools didn't look properly cleaned, and the overall environment felt unhygienic and uncomfortable -- not something you ever want to feel at a nail salon. The service was rushed and careless, with no attention to detail. For a place that advertises high-quality services, this was beyond disappointing. Between the attitude, lack of professionalism, and the cleanliness issues, I left feeling frustrated and honestly grossed out. They advertised Russian manicures and smart Russian pedicure but they don't know how to properly do it. Do not come here go to a Russian manicure specialist there's plenty of other ones that actually do the service to perfection. I would never return and do not recommend this salon to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values basic hygiene and respect for their clients. DO NOT COME HERE and obviously I'm not the only one who complains look at the reviews there's a reason why she doesn't mention the salons name when your talking to her on Instagram read more

Just like others in the reviews, I was targeted via Instagram ads for a Russian mani by Drakht. Her work looks great online but her work in real life...please save your money. I was incredibly uncomfortable getting my pedicure done. The way she had me positioned didn't feel good. I tried to tell her but the language barrier made it difficult. She hurt my feet multiple times with whatever they use to smooth out the feet. It burned and hurt. I had to tell her at least 5 times "that hurts." On top of that the application of the gel was terrible. There's so many better nail techs in LA. I'm not sure if she's the same girl in her picture on Instagram but this place is not professional and I wouldn't trust her with the health of your nails. read more

you probably should find somewhere else if you're reading this, ruined my engagement nails. So first off i want to highlight what I liked- Vicky, who did my nails was a very sweet girl, and she was very gentle with my cuticles. The place was clean and they didn't keep me waiting for my service. Now for the bad- First off as you can see I didn't get anything like the picture of what I wanted- and this are my ENGAGEMENT photo nails and so frankly I was so bummed I spent 150$ to look like this. She constantly pushed for longer nails and then didn't even file them to the proper length I wanted. The gold looks sloppy and I just felt like she wanted me out of her chair by the end of our appointment. Now, by fair the worst part was the front desk / possible owner? (I hope not for everyone's sake). During my appointment they mainly spoke in their native language, which I happen to understand. She was being absolutely vile towards vicky and called my nails ugly numerous times and thought it was a waste of time. THEN by the end of the appointment she came up to me and started taking pictures of me and my nails without even looking at me let alone asking for my consent. Overall, Vicky is a sweet girl, the front desk lady was horrible, and the service was mediocre. This kind of ruined my engagement experience for me. Just go to @Piggy's Nails, shes 10000% better, I should have just gone back to her. read more

i got my nails done by vicky at this salon, and the entire time i was there, she was unprofessional and not very welcoming. On top of that, 3 of my nails broke within the first 5 days. I messaged her multiple times to see if i can come in and fix them- she basically ignored my messages and never responded. This is not good customer service and i wouldn't recommend getting your nails done here. customers deserve to be treated better read more

Lena is incredible!! Does such a beautiful job and takes the time to make it perfect I would highly recommend her

@vickyss_nails on instagram who works at this establishment is extremely UNPROFESSIONAL. I booked an appointment with her via dm after seeing her ads on IG. After confirmation I drove 20 miles over 35 minutes to my appointment and she was a no-show. Not only that she didn't respond to my text, call nor DM to explain or even apologize for the inconvenience. If you're looking for professional service DO NOT COME HERE. Parking is also horrible. Wasted time and money! read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly and welcoming approach to each customer, professional barbers (one of the is a world champion in that field), manicurists, and permanent makeup artist. I recommend for sure! read more
