“This has got to be one of the best nail salons I've ever visited. I first found this business on Yelp after noticing that the nail techs are really talented at nail art, nail trends and also offered Gel X extensions. Because they had such great ratings I was worried they wouldn't be able to take me as a walk-in, but to my delight they were able to squeeze me in. As soon as I sat down with my nail tech I could tell she was very experienced. She moved quickly, but in an efficient way versus rushed. She asked the right questions and when I showed her a picture of my ideal length and shape, she took a quick look and made mental note. Now, I've had a lot of nail techs do this and then not really get it right so I've gotten into a habit of having a picture close to pull up as we approach the shaping and cutting part of the manicure. When she approached the time to shape the nails, I pulled it up again and she re-assured me that she's got it, and indeed she did. She shaped and filed it to PERFECTION. She was also really great at calling out any additional costs just so I was aware prior to application. For example, I really wanted to try the cat eye effect nail polish where they have to use a magnet in order to create the effect. She let me know that would cost an extra $15 which I was aware of but appreciated the communication. They were also even able to fit in a pedicure despite my concerns about timing. But she got me into the pedicure chair and finished my manicure there while someone else did my pedicure (thus showing how efficient they were.) I'm obsessed with my nails and just wish I had a salon like this near me in DC. But next time I'm back in LA, I'll be sure to be back!“

“Quitiza (owner and manicurist) hands down is the best manicurist I have ever gone to, and I’ve been to quite a few different manicurists. Not only is her work incredible, but my nails have never been healthier! I highly recommend you come and check her out/her studio! I have also gotten a pedicure here as well from the other lovely girls at the studio, and they also never disappoint. If you need more of a reason to come here, please check out some of my recent nails done by Quitiza…“

“It was my first time going to this place and I loved it. Elizabeth helped me with parking behind the store as I couldn’t find any parking in front of the store. Then, she helped me with my orders and getting a Nordstrom credit card. I will be back soon to pick more orders. So convenient and nice!“

“Pinkies is the best nail salon I’ve ever been to! I always leave feeling relaxed with fabulous nails. Ryan is my favorite nail tech. His nail art is remarkable and he is so creative. At Pinkies they always treat me like a princess. They’ll give me a massage while I get my nails done or do my fingers and toes at the same time. All the employees are kind, caring and support all the nail needs. Go to Pinkies for long lasting quality nails!“

“Sometimes you have to wait a bit here and there is no complimentary drinks or even music the day I went. However, the chairs are comfortable, service friendly, prices amazing and most importantly I had a pedicure that is still shiny and brand new looking after a week. Thanks iSpa Lane!“

“Only place I go to monthly in the area!! Best customer service & they actually have the pedicure jets (most nail salons in LA don’t). Always so clean & pleasant. Edmund, Connie & the team are so nice and always do a great job with my nails. Been coming here for over 2 years now - it took me a few tries to find the best nail salon here and ever since I came here, I never looked back. Also they always offer water or tea and have such a nice color selection. They also do massages and facials!! :)“

“Had THE BEST manicure with Jessie. She did such a good job on my cuticles. I am a massage therapist and have to keep my nails short. Usually when I ask to have them cut shorter, the nail tech laughs, and says they are already too short. I always go home and have to cut them myself. Jessie is the first person to actually listen. I truly appreciate my perfectly manicured SHORT nails. Thanks Jessie! I’ll be back.“
