Top Best 15 Nail Salons in Los Angeles, Los Angeles

anny I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Cynthia for a long time and her nail technique is one of the best in LA. My nails are always done to perfection and I am always satisfied. For example, the attention to details, listening to my preferences and offering her expert advice (she can do any crazy idea you have), and going the extra mile for me. I leave with the cutest nails every time and I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! Note: her studio is spotless. she follows the highest hygiene standards, which is very important to me.

Paula Lim If youre looking to get aesthetically pleasing nails, Cynthias your girl! I have gone to her many times (even though I live far AF). I have always been so happy with how my nails came out and have gotten so many compliments on them! Sometimes I want my nails to look a certain way, but Cynthia always gives great suggestions. It always amazes me when my nails come out better than expected. Cynthia has such an eye for creativity and I wouldnt trust my nails with anyone else.

Laura Nguyen Cynthia just understands my soft pastel girl aesthetic! I can trust her vision if I bring an idea like picnic or starlight theme, I know I’ll love it when it’s all said and done. She’s so detailed and has so many options of glitters and jewels to choose from. It gives you the creative freedom to go all in on the design. In my opinion, it’s hard to find someone who has the talent, openness, and creativity for nail art and with Cynthia I know I can trust her to deliver.

cristal padilla I was looking for a nail tech in koreatown i came across Cynthia and I had an appointment with her today, let me tell shes the best ! Shes very talented ! Very sweet I loved how my nails turned out super cute ! Just for spooky season ! Definitely coming back to her for my nails !

Briana Velasco Cynthia is hands down the most talented nail tech and can pull off any design request. I would especially recommend her services to anyone looking for hard gel, these nails can last weeks and are so flawless!

Nancy Truong From the first time I walked in the salon, Leah has been great at being transparent about her policies and the way her store was set up. She has 14 years of experience and was thoughtful and helpful with choosing a design for an upcoming trip I had and made sure my nails would be extra strong. The pricing is very reasonable parking is validated. She’s also kind and easy to talk to.

Stephanie Zena Leah is so incredibly talented and professional, she always does an incredible job and I leave loving my nails. She’s been doing this many years, knows her products and the right techniques, my nails still look great when I come back to get them changed. I’ve been going to her for the past year every 2 weeks, she never disappoints and is always very fair with her pricing. Ant recommend her enough!!

Tina Lee Leah helped me restore my damaged, brittle nails from a previous salon. She had a plan in place and walked me through it. Her experience and care is why I come back regularly, on top of her excellent technical work. Also, love to support a woman of color and small business owner! 10/10 Perfect gel manicure.

Jenna Lee Just moved from the east coast and I was looking for a nail salon with Korean gel services. Leah is the owner and the nail artist. Shes really accommodating and works with your schedule. She also has a lot of color options and design options. I have been enjoying her nail designs and cat eye designs. She is a perfectionist and I never had any issues with the gel for weeks. The salon is behind in the back of freya hair salon and it is so clean!

Ree Jeong Kim I love everything about the nail room! first of all Leah‘s attention to detail and skills are unmatchable, but she’s also such a fun time to be with! she makes you feel comfortable and is great at executing your inspos and for me personally I love how she changes the designs a little bit to make it suit me better!

Ari L Been coming to Vivian for years! She’s a great nail artist and works on perfection or near it! Such a great artists and person! Jimmy and Emily are amazing as well! Beautiful shop, amazing customer service and even better people. My nails and toes from Vivian Jimmy and Emily through the years ❤️

Bettina Brooks The customer service is great. The nails matched perfectly to my inspiration picture. I also tried the facial and my skin is glowing and oh so soft. 10 out of 10 recommend. Ask for Emily.

Christine Wang Hands down the best nail salon youll ever visit. Got an Oxygen facial and it was amazing’ my skin glowed for days. Also, As someone who has been getting their nails done for years across the greater LA area, I can confidently say that Byoung stands out from the rest. Many salons cut corners at the expense of their customers, but not here. They do the extra layers and costs to make your nails stronger and healthier. I recently came in with a horrifically broken nail (courtesy of another salon I visited over the holidays), and Vivian worked absolute magic. She repaired it with such precision, care, and attention to detail--it was like it had never been broken in the first place. Vivian is the only nail artist Ive worked with who I trust completely to bring any design idea to life flawlessly. Ive done dip, hard gel, regular manicures and even pedicure here. Pop music and welcoming staff, makes this place a no brainer

Célia Brand new salon with massaging chairs while getting your pedicure. Jimmy was the best, very accommodating and skilled nail artist. Will be back for sure!

TGirl Kacy (Kacy TGirl) Byoung in DTLA is an open space with good light. Very clean. Within a few minutes of my appointment time, I was seated in a neat massage chair with the controls at your fingertips. Jimmy gave me a gel extend manicure while his wife Emily gave me a gel pedicure. The red I chose from the "Billionaire" book reminded me of Ferrari red. Very happy with my lovely nails and the good price. I parked down the block in a structure, but for my next visit I noticed that there are even closer lots. Highly recommend this new salon.

Rebecca Salvatierra I looove my nails! I get a lot of compliments on my nails and they’re just so cute! Casey is really focused and detailed. She’s one nail techs I’ve had! The place is clean and very sanitary, the prices are reasonable. Will be coming back again.

Ashley Kim Casey is amazing. I posted some photos of nail designs she’s done for me, and she impresses me every time. Clearly, I’ve been returning and only trusting her with my nails! You won’t regret seeing her. Plus, the amount of compliments you will receive.. is endless. She so meticulous and so fun to chat with! Can’t wait to see her again for my next set of nails.

Park SH I absolutely loved my experience at Nailbar Casey. She was very professional and welcoming, making me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. My nail technician did an incredible job—she was meticulous, paid great attention to detail, and helped me choose the perfect color and design. The results were beyond my expectations! My nails look gorgeous and have lasted for weeks without chipping. If you’re looking for a high-quality nail salon with excellent service, I highly recommend Casey nail. I will definitely be coming back. 프렌치네일 진짜 너무너무 예뻐요. 최고 …❤️

E J The only nail shop in LA I really love, she’s really gentle with my nails and always takes enough time, never makes me feel rushed. I’ve visited more than dozens of nail shops in LA, popular ones in Beverly hills and West Hollywood too but they often hurt my skin and I’d get tiny scars around my nails. You can tell Casey is very experienced and professional. Love her work and will be back next month!!

Willow Hanson If you’re asking yourself if you should go see Casey, I’ll make your life easier—YES!! First of all, she takes incredible care of my nails. You can tell that she cares about her customers and the quality of the nails she gives them. You can see the retention!! Nail art is always so good too--she is a talented artist! I just got this night sky set done and she was meticulous in making sure every detail was perfect. I’m always so happy when I leave her salon!

Amanda Duchesne Great local business! Marla and Lupita provide top quality manicures and a welcoming customer experience.

Monica Matute Marla was great! I got a gel manicure and got apres put on 4 nails due to them being broken. The color she recommended is my new favorite and my nails have clean edges and were prepared thoroughly. I also got a regular pedicure and felt that Marla did a great job with that as well!

jennifer payulert Just happened to pass by and was able to walk in for a pedicure and gel manicure. Lupita did a great, clean, painless job and fixed up my long neglected nails. Thank you so much!

Olivia Kutlu Best manicure Ive had in a long time. High quality and excellent value. Marla was welcoming, so friendly, and professional. Excited to return for my next polish and very happy to support this woman-owned business.

Stephania Tapia Had a fantastic experience here! The staff is so welcoming, and they even offer you a beverage while you get your nails done. My nail tech was super friendly and gave great suggestions to help me achieve a beautiful design. I’ll definitely be coming back

Jameelah Stovall I’ve been coming to QQ for over a year. Dwayne, Lisa, and I think the other person’s name is Huy are my faves. Everyone does a great job, but they do an especially good job. Also, I have never had to wait for someone to start on me. It’s always a lot of people working and they take you right away!

Autumn The experience & atmosphere is welcoming and caters to the guests. No, the salon isn’t fancy but it feels right. Alice was attentive to details and really sweet. Prices are affordable and you get a free beverage to enjoy with your massage chair. The services are extensive and the add-ons make sure your experience is perfect for you. I’m so glad I came!

Kenia Curiel Amazing experience and the most friendly staff! I loved it here. They take such good care of you and you get a complimentary drink, I got a milk tea boba and it was delicious. Boa Han, thank you for your skills. My nails look so beautiful! I love them so much! See you again next time!

Kellan Wonderful experience. They greeted me warmly, answered the phone quickly, and were prompt with getting started. I had the deluxe mani pedi and enjoyed it all. Both ladies helping me were wonderful as was the owner. Parking was relatively easy on a weekday afternoon. The spa is clean and well lit. Nothing too fancy but looks nice. Tons of polish colors available. Recommended!

BHAGYASHREE WAGH Loved the service this time because they made the same design from my inspirational picture. Got a chance to meet Jenny ( The Owner) who was very friendly and kind. They communicated pricing very clearly in the beginning and worked with my choice of nail colors and stickers. They have a wide range of colors, styles and so many technicians so they are able to accommodate you most of the times.

Tyra Hall First time getting nails done since moving to La. Na Na did sooo good in my nails she is so sweet and attentive. I got a gel manicure with gel overlay. Excited to see how long they hold up and I will be back. The nail salon is really nice and the staff is too! Which is hard to find in La. Utensils were clean and they use disposable packs.

Natalie Warne I love this salon! I came the week they opened and they’re extremely professional, great attention to detail, great color selection, my nails look really regal and natural. I’ve come once a month for the last three months. I loved working with Sophia the first two times as well as the owner Jenny did my nails today. They are both great!!! Also pretty ambience.

Adaiah Brignac I absolutely love my nails every time I go to Jenny! From the very first appointment, I knew I’d never go anywhere else. She and her team are incredibly talented, pay attention to every detail, and always make sure my nails are perfect. Her salons are so cute and clean, and I’ve had several people do my pedicures—never had a single problem. I can’t recommend her and her team enough!

Brit Jenneiahn Came here for the first time today and was so lucky to have Eve do my nails. Ive been desperate for a nail tech since moving to LA that can do designs and I couldnt be happier. The salon is so cute, everyone is so nice, and the work is amazing!

oneida struga Ness is AMAZING! Not only is she extremely sweet but she is very knowledgeable in her field and has mastered her technique. I have never left a salon as happy as I have today. I highly, highly recommend!!

Carolyn O.P. Ness is stellar. Her work speaks for itself (see photos). If you want your natural nails at their very best length & strength, book with her. Photos are in reverse chronological order. #1 is from Nov 2023- #6 June 2023, my first appt with her.

Ana Milić Anastasia is amazing! Today was my second time doing my nails with her and I absolutely love them! She is detail oriented, explains everything, very gentle and super sweet and friendly! First photo is from my visit today and second one is from early November. Highly recommend!

Haley Pratt I recently started going to Ness after moving to LA and being so tired of how salons take care of my nails. They were always breaking, chipping and getting weaker every visit. Id been thinking about switching to Russian manicures for a while but back home no one really offered them. When I moved here and found Ness I knew I made the right decision. My nails were short and broken when I went to my first appointment and now after my third appointment with Ness my nails are stronger than theyve been in years and finally keeping their length. I could go on and on but you wont regret ditching the busy salons looking to rush your service, and instead coming to Ness who will take her time taking care of your nails and making sure you leave happy. *first photo is after my most recent appointment and second photo is right before my first one!

Pokuaa Enin Anastasia is amazing. She’s very friendly and puts you right at ease. Most importantly, she takes pride in her work and does an amazing job: she shapes my nails beautifully, the gel is never bubbly or uneven, and there’s no pain ever - even with cuticle removal. My nails were very weak and damaged when I went to her and by my second visit, they were noticeably stronger and longer. She uses great products, she’s so sweet, and she takes the time to explain things to you if you’re curious. I can’t say enough good things about this woman or her work. I’m including a photo of my current nails that are about 2.5-3 weeks old. No chips. Beautifully shaped.

# Ismoiliy I visited Luchic Nails Bar on Melrose again today for a manicure, and it was another amazing experience! Nina, who had previously done my gel manicure that lasted an entire month, was absolutely fantastic once again. She’s incredibly skilled, meticulous, and works so quickly while still delivering perfection. I truly appreciate how clean, quiet, and polite she is—it makes the experience so relaxing. A special shoutout to the beautiful girl at the front desk, who was extremely nice and attentive from the moment I walked in. Her warm and friendly demeanor made me feel instantly welcome. Overall, I’m beyond happy with my visit. The service is consistently top-notch, and the salon atmosphere is always chic and inviting. If you’re looking for impeccable nail care and wonderful customer service, I can’t recommend Luchic Nails Bar enough!

Kallie Dorland The staff was friendly but you’re basically just paying for the nail polish. My legs/feet weren’t scrubbed or rubbed during my pedicure and they didn’t manicure my cuticles at all. The brand new gel manicure looked like it had already grown out for 2 weeks and when I went to a different salon to get them redone I found a dent in my nail under the gel. Do not recommend.

Olivia Walsh Ideal for me, as I cant always select a certain time as so busy, so I often do the walk,-ins. When I got here early Saturday morning the place was packed but they got to me very quickly LuChic Nails Bar was honestly one of the best nail salons in this area I have ever been too! I did dip powder nail and will be returning!!

Dangira Brown Absolutely in love with LuChic Nails Bar! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and the service was impeccable. The technicians took their time to perfect every detail. My nails turned out flawless, and the entire experience was beyond relaxing.

Rita White Will provide you the most comfortable and relaxing experience. Everything about my experience was wonderful and I look forward to returning often. LuChic Nails is really cute inside with a nice atmosphere My new favorite place to get a manicure.

Zahra A This salon is clean, bright, and has a chill vibe. Lana was my technician and my treatment included removing my previous hard gel extensions, a detailed Russian manicure, Gel-X extensions, and finding the perfect nail color by combining two shades (!) She understood what I wanted and was so precise and careful with everything she did. I was so happy with the results that I ended up booking a pedicure for the following week, even though I hadn’t planned to. The pedicure included gel removal, a Russian pedicure, and gel polish, perfect again. The lovely receptionist, Victoria helps with translations if needed, does her best to accommodate last-minute bookings, and is always clear about the services and pricing. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Kashmir Hyder I had an amazing experience at Perfect Nails! The color and shape of my nails turned out absolutely perfect—exactly what I wanted. The staff was incredibly nice and efficient, and I was in and out of the salon in no time without feeling rushed. The service was top-notch, and the attention to detail was impressive. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for flawless nails and speedy service!

Lorelei Rubik Got a gel manicure on January 10, a week and a half later my polish started to peel off. This is a $30 manicure for $75. The polish was pretty but the longevity isn’t, I won’t be back. In reply to their response, it was four nails (two hands in my photos) and I currently have a manicure from another place that’s three weeks old and hasn’t peeled. I’ve had multiple gel manicures last this long without the issues I had here that happened so fast. It’s such a hassle to park over there too so I’m not really interested in coming back after this.

Ellie N Pedicure is well-priced & I walked away with great nails. :) Staff is friendly & place is clean. They were efficient but careful & detailed. Make sure to enter the parking lot from Western. There were several spaces available in the lot even on a Saturday afternoon. Perfect place for a no-frills, friendly pedi/mani.

Serolina Fae The ladies who work here were really nice! I got a gel mani, and since my nails are long it’s a little bit more difficult for the technician. However, the lady who did my nail was super patient and careful and did a really great job!

Georgia G I wish I had a “before” photo so you could see what a hot mess my nails were when I came in. This was my first manicure since the pandemic began and what a treat. The woman who did my nails didn’t rush and paid such attention to detail. She cleaned up my cuticles and shaped my nails the way I like and my gel manicure is flawless. There are clear plexiglass barriers at each station and everyone was masked, so I am glad they are keeping their employees safe. Huge selection of colors, parking lot, they accept debit cards, and they’re playing calming classical music with a tv permanently set to a naturescapes channel? My new favorite nail salon.

Marisa Kaylee Stevens Cossu Ive been coming here for years and this is the only nail salon i go to. They are the best!!

Vaneka Cross Amy was great she gave me exactly what I asked for and even exposed me to the gel x process. As a chronic acrylic babe this was so much better!

Mccrowe91 Ive had multiple nail technicians and I have a plesant experience every time. Theyre thorough, have great attention to detail and clearly enjoy the with they do. Since my first appointment with Amy, this has become my regular nail salon. They truly care about the quality of your nails!

Adia Matthews I hadnt been to Powder since the pandemic but am SO happy I came back. The new owner has continued with the spirit and exceptional customer service that Ive always loved about Powder, while evolving the business to keep the business relevant with the latest nail trends and colors. The location in the Row is easy to get to and find more to discover. I started going bqck last month and am definitely a regular again!

Yuliia Kurochka I needed a neat nude gel manicure for a photoshoot. At first there were some issues, but they were very nice and accommodating. The owner came in just so she can fix my mani and it looked perfect! Really appreciated how great customer service is!

Lo noffert I was very excited to try this place because it is close to where I live and they have great reviews but I left really disappointed. I got a dip manicure and it ended up looking so messy. There was cured dip powder all over my fingers and under my nails. I spent a lot of time that night trying to clean it all up. I also watched her notice a few imperfections and instead of fixing them she just left them. The tips weren’t all filed evenly so I also had to spend some time at home evening them out because they looked like there was chips taken out. I’ve gotten plenty of dip manicures so I know how it’s supposed to look in the end. Overall my nails look just okay which is not what I want when spending $65 plus a tip.

Julia Sinelnikova Danielle is an absolute acrylic and gel genius for artistic, pointy, or 3D nails. She is sweet to talk to and also the fastest nail tech I’ve ever had for the level of detail she does. The pricing is worth it. A lot of salons have varied pricing but similar level skills on hand… this place goes above and beyond. Perfect environment with tea, coffee, and snacks as well. They decorate for every holiday.

Lori Aliksanian Excellent nail prep and attention to detail. My nails are perfect every time and last 2-3 weeks even with heavy handwashing. Highly recommend!

Jackie Bihr Wow it’s taken me too long to write a review! I’m a super fan of Emily’s and have been to see her I think 4 or 5 times now. She’s a perfectionist with the cuticles, and I appreciate that so much because mine get dry and visible after a while. I don’t do anything too hip. I’m just not capable of pulling it off. But she did a modern French tip gel manicure with red on the tip and a nude base and amazing! I got complimented quite a bit. I made sure to refer them to Emily since she’s the rhyme and reason behind the sweet nails. Yesterday I went pink and she did this amazing hibiscus design. So. Cute!

J P Ok this place is a vibe. As soon as you walk in you feel at peace not rushed and not to mention the place is cute. They listen to what youre asking for rather than doing nails their way. I hate when techs want to do their styles at other salons and dont listen to the customer, not at this place they get it, they understand the meaning of customer service! I just moved to DTLA and have not had a good experience with other places until today, im so glad i found this salon. They did a really great job. Im very simple and like the natural look, they did exactly that. I was so happy. Now, it was a little pricey for a classic pedi (regular no gel) and fills, I normally pay $80 - $90, but honestly I didnt mind because I was happy with the results. I just need to budget myself on other things so I can afford this service and definitely tip more next time. I will be returning for sure! A big thank you to Danielle (fills) & Julie (pedi).

Paige Noel Five star treatment here. Complimentary drinks, massage chair, and talented technicians. They just gained a loyal customer.

Ladi Saka Alena is the plug for your nails full set. Design & customer service. A great way to spend Christmas with who you love. If you’re recommending MOI Nails By Spring, it sounds like you had a great experience or really appreciate their service! Here’s a polished version of your suggestion: Treat the special women in your life to a self-care day at MOI Nails By Spring! It’s the best spot for pampering and leaving them feeling refreshed and glamorous. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make their loved ones feel truly appreciated. I plan on coming here with my girl, mother and little sister. Today was about her. Alena give her a raise or give her the store led her lead with her management skills

Jermaine See My friend recommended this nail place and I couldn’t be happier with my wedding nails. My nail tech was incredibly patient and really took the time to understand the exact look I wanted. She paid attention to every detail, making sure my nails looked just right and matched my vision perfectly. I am super appreciative of her! This is nail gel x.

Miaa Jane I went to this location once and was shocked with the service being so well I was offered water and snacks, my nails turned out great and this was such a great experience. My second attempt at this location and my nails turned out nice I just didn’t feel like I did the first time, not being offered water meanwhile I watched every other person get asked would they like water, my pedicure was $63 which turned out to be $90 because they charge $17 for gel and $10 for French tip. I am not one to complain about the price because if I like the service enough I’ll come back. My gel ex was $125 and I tipped $20 which brings my total to $235. I wish my experience was more similar to my first because I would definitely return.

Jeong Yoon Seong (Kaylie) This is ridiculous. Its week three (got my nails from travis), and all my gelx are gone. Gel x are supposed to last you for weeks! They were peeling off (week 2 photos) so I even went in for a fix paying extra 15 buxks and it did not stay. This is the quickest I had gelx fell out. Truly unbelievable! And I just called them and they said there’s nothing they can do! I am literally never coming back. Stay away!!!

Tanya Lopez I love they always cover my needs wonderful job. It’s a great place clean and all of them are very nice.

Marr r I love Angels nails. Nari is polite & friendly. I love her nail designs, shes very talented. She also has an ingrown nail treatment without cuts & bleeding. I highly recommend her!

Mihiri Hettigoda Nari is the best but honestly all of them are. They take their time and take care of you. Highly recommend especially if you have cool designs you want to get. They’ll try to make it happen.

Ching Yeh Nari is the best! Her skill is so good that I know I can just show her anything I find online and she will be able to recreate it.

Sara Mears This place is great! Very clean! Everyone there is talented and thorough- gel manis can take 90mins, but you have nails that last nearly a month.
