Tracy’s Nail

I used to go here every two weeks. The prices were good and the job was good. I loved the way Cody did mine but this place seriously went down hill. Every time I’d go in here I would always feel like the workers were talking smack about me. I’m not the only one that felt this, my sister stopped coming here for the same reason.
Also, their work is definitely not as good. They rush through the pedicures. I only came here for pedicures. I’ve gotten gel nails here also but they never lasted and they looked bad. They were not shinny, they always peeler after a week, and they looked ugly. Their gel nail polishes suck!
Come here if you want an average pedicure for cheap.
There’s plenty of other nail places in this city that will do a much better job for the same price.

They have always done a great job! Cody is the best ! He always does an amazing job and any design I have asked for.

Love this place! Have become a regular here. For acrylics I ALWAYS go to Chelsea and sometimes Cody. Chelsea does exactly what I want and NEVER fails me. The gel polish here is great it does not crack. absolutely love the fact that they apply many layers of gel polish unlike other places. Service is always great don’t know what the other reviews are talking about but it may be because I’m a regular and I TIP $$ must I mention I called on a Tuesday night saying I was coming in around 6… I was running late and they stayed open until I got there around 6:40 and stayed still 8:20 an hour and 20 min after closing for me and my friend, not many places do this! Always a great experience and service!

3 ½ stars overall
I went on a Tuesday
SERVICE: **
2 stars
* 20% off doesn’t apply to $ 7 mani. (It’s still a reasonable price).
* They were happy to see me, but as soon as I said mani they offered gel instead, when I said I wasn’t interested she asked why.
I gave few reasons and her whole attitude shifted
* She wasn’t as welcoming. :(
*Try to converse, but nothing.
* Before I left I payed left tip and still received a dry attitude, I had to ask for a card and let her know that the change was hers. In other places they make me feel as they want me to come back, but not here. :(
QUALITY: ****
4 ½ stars
* She listen to what I wanted and gave me exactly that. Perfect :)
* took her time with my nails. :)
* They have good brands when it comes to nail polishes and the place is nice.
* I love the outcome.
* She polish them smoothly, no bumps, no bubbles.
OVERALL SHE DID A GREAT JOB AND IS AN AWESOME NAIL TECHNICIAN.
I would recommend this place and send them to Chelsea.

Tracy is amazing! she always pays attention to detail. my nails always come out great and 100%. They have great deals Monday through Wednesday, 20% off ! what’s not to love.

Despite reading all of the terrible reviews, my mother convinced me to try this place out. To begin, I was unhappy to see that everything that was said in the reviews appeared to be true. When I was seated the lady that worked on me was eating chocolate while preparing. As soon as she laid the towel down it was clear it wasn’t clean and there were old nails stuck on there! Next the bowl I put my hand to soak in had hairs in it, and she reuses gloves that look pretty old. Midway through my manicure she got another chocolate and kindof giggled about it. I know chocolate is irresistible but cmon. My nails look good from far, but up close they aren’t the greatest.

I’ve lived in El Monte for about a year now and have yet to find a good nail spot close by; searching on Unilocal!I came across Tracy’s Nails and started reading reviews and looking at pictures. I called at about 2pm to schedule a 4:20pm appointment with Cody, as soon as I arrived I was greeted and Cody began his process! I walked in feeing shameful of my nails because of my horrible cuticle picking and nail biting! I love my nails thank you Cody!

One star for parking and no wait. No wait for good reason. The lady finished in under 12 minutes. Totally no attention to detail. While I was glad no time was wasted, I felt like she super rushed thru my pedicure and did a mediocre job. I only requested clear coat on toes and there were bubbles. Terrible paint job

I loved the work Chelsea did on my nails, she works with you on designs and suggests options, price was reasonable. Did notice the hygiene on other members when in came to pedicures and waxing wasn’t all that great. So I will stick to just nails here.

This is a no frills place, mismatched furniture, limited air conditioner, uncomfortable seating. However, the service was great and I left very happy with my mani and gel pedicure. My pedicurist was able to recreate a cute watermelon design I found on pinterest with no problem. I was surprised at the $ 48 price tag, but I’m guessing that’s typical for what I requested. Also, they were able to take me immediately when I walked in on a Tuesday afternoon which is always nice! I’ll be back in a couple months for sure!

I’ve had 2 people do my nails here and they both did a great job! They are really fast yet friendly. Well-​priced, too! I drive from Alhambra to go here because it’s better & cheaper than anywhere around my place. Lasts the full 2 weeks!

Customer service was great. Chelsea was very patient despite the many requests I had, and so I would definitely like to point out her wonderful personality! She definitely made my first trip enjoyable.
Unfortunately, there were a few things that I was a bit disappointed with:
1) I noticed that there was a huge chunk of acrylic under my pinky nail that I am now unable to take off since I am not from this area and had noticed once I left
2) My left and right pinky nails were uneven in length
3) there was a few times where the nail technician got up and left for 5 – 10 min because there had been other clients asking for eyebrow service
Lastly, as a side note, I would put $$ for the cost of nails here because overall it was average price
On days other than monday-​wednesday it is not cheaper. For that reason acrylic and gel + oval nails cost me $ 35 and my friend who had received only gel on her real nails as well as one design on each hand had paid $ 25

Still coming to see Chelsea! Today she gave my stepdaughter adorable paw prints on her fingers & Dolphins on her toes. After all these years, we just won’t see anyone else but Chelsea & Tracy!
Also, my stepdaughter is Type 1 Diabetic, & Chelsea knows how to do a Type 1 pedicure! She did the research when the diagnosis happened, & she’s great. We’ve never had a complication in many years of coming to her. The extra effort Chelsea & Tracy have always made to take care of us is profound & appreciated!

There are two good things about this place…
1. Cheap! $ 15 for a mani/​pedi ($ 8 for just a pedicure)
2. They had a good selection of good polishes
I guess I would call my mom frugal because if she paid any more for her mani/​pedi, then I wouldn’t hear the end of it. So, in that case, my mom is happy about her job and doesn’t really care about the attention to detail. Me on the other hand; I am used to painting my own nails because I don’t really trust other people. This place reassured me that I can only trust a selected few with my nails.
First off, the lady that worked on me re-​used gloves. ERMMmm gross dude… gloves aren’t that expensive and I would have brought my own pair if I knew she would be using old ones… Second the tools were not cleaned or sanitized. My eyes are not ²⁰⁄₂₀ but I could still see how grimey they were from 5 feet away… Third she poked my feet really hard and it hurt and wasn’t gentle AT ALL. Lastly, my paint job looked like a five-​year-​old did it. She just dabbed the brush onto my toenails and put on three heavy coats. My pedicure is extremely patchy and not even within the lines. I didn’t even need to take a close look to see that it was THAT horrible.
In the end, if you’re looking for a cheap mani/​pedi then hop onto this deal now.. But if you are even somewhat particular about your nails looking nice, then I would suggest that you reconsider.

I’ve been here a few times between Monday and Wednesday and they’ve never given me the 20% discount. She says she did but when I came on a Saturday it was the same price (I always get the same exact thing).
This time I went on a Wednesday. One lady did my pedicure and one did my nails. The nail lady seemed irritated that she had to stop playing with her ipad but she constantly checked it for the 2 hours and 45 minutes I was there. I wanted a fill with designs on my ring fingers. Other than taking FOREVER the design isn’t nearly as cute as it was on the display. I wish I knew she didn’t know how to do designs well or I would’ve chosen something more simple. Anyway, the shape and gel are tolerable but the design wasn’t great, and her attitude was horrible.
I also asked for a gel pedicure with acrylic on my two big toes. It’s what I always get. The lady doing my pedicure hurt my toe so bad that two days later it’s completely infected. Those who know me, know I always have clean well taken care of feet. Well, my friends, currently that is untrue. I mean they’re clean but sure not cute! (See gory toe photo) She said that cutting the nails on the side makes it look better. She pulled the nail/​skin all the way down the side of toe to where it was bleeding. I told her to stop and she said sorry and giggled. To top it off the shape is really bad and she painted them horribly. There is now raw flesh on the side of my toe and my toe is constantly throbbing, especially in work heels. So much for it «looking nicer»!
After she finished my pedicure she started another girl’s pedicure. Shortly after I heard that girl say she was hurting her and when I looked she was doing the same thing. That customer also told her to stop and not to do it to the other side of that toe or to the other toe. The technician again said sorry and giggled. I wonder who will say sorry and giggle when they’re sued for really hurting sometime, such as a diabetic.
I’ve always heard good things about Chelsea but she even seemed irritated that night. She’s done my nails once and I did like them. They have plenty of really cute designs but I can only assume that Chelsea and Cody are the ones who really know how to do them.
Anywho, I paid $ 63 in total for a gel fill, 2 designs, a (half a*sed painful) gel pedicure with acrylic on two toes. Not bad but it was a horrible experience. And I didn’t get my 20% off either. Undecided if I’ll go back or not. Maybe only with Chelsea or Cody. They have the best reviews.

Was my second time coming to this shop they were very friendly and did a great job on my gel manicure and regular pedicure. Both Chelsea and the lady doing my toes took their time! She cleaned my toes thoroughly which is always nice (: and my design came out awesome! Got my 20% off too for coming in on a monday.

This was me and my moms first time at the salon. My mom got a gel manicure from Chelsea, she did a great job. My mom loved them! She got a pedicure I didn’t get the girls name but she’s the one that sits next to Cody she took her time removing cuticles she did a great job as we’ll.
I got my nails done from Cody. I loved how he took his time to do my nails. They came out perfect ! I loved them. I would be coming here in the future =)

Walked in and waited for about 10 minutes. No big deal.
Linh was the technician who did my manicure. She went way to fast, didn’t even push my cuticles, left extra skin around my nail, everything was uneven; the shape, the coats.
It was $ 7 regular price. No 20% off even though I came in on a Tuesday.
Cheap prices, don’t get me wrong but really? My mani was about 8 Minutes tops. Maybe I got the wrong technician but Oh well. Might come back in the future for Cody or Tracy…
Other prices: $ 17 for mani and pedi, $ 15 for gel, $ 10 for pedi alone.

I’m only giving this place a 4 because of the super awkward seating for pedicures. They have a row of recliners set up against a wall (so they don’t recline), that you sit in for the service and then put your feet up on to the spa bench. Be warned, unless you have on something that stretches this will be difficult. I felt like my knees were almost in my chest (I’m 5’10″).
However, the pedicure itself and service was fantastic! Very thorough, neat and professional. I did the pedicure and added on the sugar scrub and callous remover and my entire cost was less than $ 20! Every Monday — Wednesday they offer 20%. There is parking right out front, but the spots are narrow and short, so if you have anything bigger than a midsized sedan, you’ll probably want to park in the back.

Got my nails done here for the 1^st time and I love them!
I did acrylic with no tip and Tracy did a great job! I’ll be coming back
