Lovely Nails & Spa

Absolutely love this place! First, this salon does not attempt or pressure to sell additional services. I have been going here for my gel manicures for the past year and have NEVER been disappointed. I’ve paid attention to John and Luan, they have exceptional mani techniques. They have never rushed to do my gel mani unlike many other salons, and they were never rude. Anyways, i’ve been able to wear my gels for about 6 weeks every time without any chipping. I love these guys and wouldn’t go anywhere else. — Gemma

Great attentive service! Everything is super comfortable. They give you a water bottle while you wait or in between your service. John did an amazing job making sure my wedding nails were perfect for me and my bridesmaids. Will return here every time

I give this place 5 stars because of the service and the price. Dana did a fantastic job fixing my nails. I had a fill with acrylics and gel painted over top. When I walked in I only had to wait five minutes and they brought me a bottle of water. And they let me pick out my gel color while I waited. Dana also did a fantastic job with the shape of my nails and even offered to do three coats of gel polish. I came in with white acrylics and she continued with the white with no extra charge, even though most places will only do clear or pink acrylic Fills. I do feel that the paint could’ve been done just a tad better around my cuticles because I previously had paint there and it’s still showing just a little bit, but she did a really good time fixing what I came in with. I will definitely be back.
$ 24 for a fill and gel polish. You can’t beat that!

I can truly say I don’t know why this salon has such great reviews.
Everything in here is old; the chairs, desks, flooring, towels, pillows
They placed an extremely old and dirty pillow on my lap dirty my mani/​pedi. Ew! My dog has cleaner pillows!
My mani and pedi was extremely rushed and uncomfortable. My manicurist didnt even know how to properly remove my gel polish, Wth? Now my nail beds are uneven and bumpy
They have a good variety of gel colors. That’s about it when it comes to the pros.
I paid $ 42 for my gel mani and basic pedi.

Nothing bad to say at all. Best nail place I have ever tried. Super happy with the service and everyone is friendly. John is the best at acrylics, but everyone is awesome here. You won’t leave disappointed. They take their time with you and are very detailed. Excellent place to go for nails!

Was trying to find a new nail salon that is open on Sundays and happened upon this awesome place. It is small and peaceful. I walked in and was taken care of right away. Good color selection and they did a great job on my nails! Will definitely be going back.

This nail salon is a gem! First, I have to say I am super picky about my nails and have gone to several salons around Long Beach and this has (by far) been my favorite. I went on a Friday afternoon around 2pm to just get my gel color redone (I didn’t have a manicure) and my tech (I think her name was Dana?) did a lovely job. She was friendly, but not overly friendly, detailed-​oriented and didn’t rush. The salon was clean and quiet. I will definitely return to get a gel mani and pedi.
*I must admit I’m not a huge fan of the shopping center it’s located in. Parking can be limited and awkward.

Very clean and nice place. I went and thank goodness I was able to get in pretty quickly! The young lady that gave me my pedicure was so nice and friendly and she didn’t push me for add on’s which I appreciate! Nothing worse than consistently having to say no thank you every two minutes. Pretty decent prices, $ 15 for a basic pedi. Will definitely be back!

Ask for John! He never fails. Salon is very clean, employees are friendly and service is exceptional. I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years. I have tried other places near my house, but this one is worth the 20 minute drive.

This place is awesome! Not only does the mani/​pedi last a long time, meaning they don’t water down their nail polish like other salons, but they are so nice! They have bottled water waiting for you when it’s hot outside, & it’s not too expensive! Absolutely no complaints here at all!

I am new to the area and wanted to find a good inexpensive places to get my nails. I dropped by with no appointment on a Thursday around 1:30 PM. I was helped right away! They don’t have much nail polish color options but they do have a good selection on gel polishes. I got acrylic nails with a light nude OPI nail color. It was only $ 22!!! The gentleman that did my nails was very detailed and took his time. They also give you a cold water bottle right when you come in. I will be returning very soon.

This nail salon is my absolute favorite! I am always greeted when I walk in by the workers and they have excellent service. They even give complimentary drinks! It’s my go-​to for any occasion. John never fails to amaze me with his talent. Whatever design I ask for, he is sure to nail it. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

I had a horrendous Brazilian here. The women had no clue what they were doing. It was apparent they’d never done a Brazilian before because when I asked them for one they looked puzzled. I’ve been getting waxed for a long time so I know how the procedure should go. I am not a professional but I know that some things are not ok. For instance, the ladies did not use gloves when working. Furthermore, one of them kept rubbing the excess wax onto my skin with her bare fingers. Also, the waxing bed looked dirty and the walls had weird stains on them. Needless to say, I left ASAP and took my business elsewhere. The only redeeming moment was that the manager didn’t make me pay.

I left this nail salon greatly impressed. Since I work at CSULB, I decided to stop by after work and give this place a chance. I got a gel manicure with gems as part of my design and it was only a total of $ 26, not bad. Since i got gems, without even asking them, an extra gel coat was added in order to prevent the gems from falling off. Who does this for their customers? Not every nail salon. I will definitely be back!

Great salon! Gel mani is only $ 20– $ 10 cheaper than most salons. It’s never busy and staff is nice and do a thorough job. The new male manicurist, John, did a great job. My gel usually peels (ok maybe I pick a lil) after a week but I’m goin on 10 days with no chipping! And it’s not usually busy which is nice and it doesn’t reek of acetone either

I don’t get to the mail salon much anymore but I am always happy when I come to lovely nails! They have great customer service and do a wonderful job. There’s no high pressure sales and when I do get a bonus package, it always feels worth it! It wasn’t a quick trip today. Over an hour an a half for a mani pedi but it wasn’t busy and I wasn’t in a hurry. The Sunday crew is especially nice. On top of that the place is very clean and the paint on the wall is a soothing green color. I recommend this salon for a relaxing, good quality mani pedi.

This is such a great salon. Fairly inexpensive and super friendly :) this is my new nail salon.

Don’t come here:
Sign says $ 5.00 for gel. They charged me $ 10 and said it was $ 5.00 for clear gel only.
Paid $ 10 for gel that didn’t have a clear gel coat or a gel base coast.
Asked for a manicure, she acted surprised when I asked her to do the manicure before putting on my nail polish «oh…you want me to clean cuticles?» Um, yes.
She pushed at my fingers and didn’t cut anything. So when I pointed out that I would like my cuticles cleaned more, she put oil and said «no skin» I asked to wash my hands, and pointed out where I needed to be cleaned. She continues to push and say «no skin no skin» as she pushed the to on my finger tips but didn’t really do anything.
Biggest waste of time and money.
…And I try a lot of different nail salons.

Clean, friendly, excellent customer service, awesome massage chairs, and really great work! Thank you, Lovely Nails!!!

This nail salon is definitely my favorite. Here, unlike at many other salons, I actually feel comfortable enough to relax and enjoy my pedicure, manicure, or when I’m getting a new full set done. The manicurists here aren’t gossipy or rude like those at other nail salons; They make an effort to make their costumers feel comfortable and don’t speak loudly in other languages or give us attitude. They are careful and attentive, making sure that their customers are pleased.
The salon itself is very very clean. The spas are cleaned after every use and towels are always warm and new. I’m always happy to see the utensils being sanitized right before my eyes. In addition, the products that they use are very high end. The have a big selection of polishes, much of which being from OPI.
They have a special «Deluxe Pedicure» that includes foot scrubs that make my feet feel amazing every time. Plus, its for a super reasonable price. In addition, there is a good combined price for manicures and pedicures. No matter what, each pedicure or manicure comes with a good massage that always leaves me feeling rested and relaxed. They also offer a big variety of other services including waxing (eyebrow, upper lip, body) and facials or massages. You can get a pedicure, manicure, and eyebrow wax for about $ 30.
Walk-​ins are welcomed, so you don’t really have to make an appointment (although, it’s better). I’ve done walked in a few times and I have always received prompt, quality service.
