Gloss Nail Spa

Woorrrrrrst manicure I’ve gotten in a long time. All I ask for is uniform nail shape, a good solid polish, and for people who work in the service industry to CARE about service. It felt like a puppy mill for human hands – churn ‘em in, churn ‘em out, charge as much as you can. There’s a great selection of polishes, but don’t let that fool you… the rest of the products are garbage. The woman doing my pedicure (also not great, I left with polish on my toes) dropped the protective inner lid of the foot mask on the ground, sticky side down, and just put it right back on the product even though there was clearly dirt and dust on it. My nails are all different shapes, and three of my nails are already ruined just three hours after the polish job and I haven’t done anything but drive, talk on the phone, and watch a film. Extremely disappointed, so much so that I don’t even want to go back and ask them to fix my messed up nails. Bottom line: Don’t bother.

Love this nail salon! Parking is a bonus! The people there are friendly and very professional! The work is great and they are always able to accommodate me! Love you guys!!!

LOVE EVERYTHING. I didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes, she was very polite and sweet with me. Definitely coming back soon. :D

The place is very nice. I went in with a friend to both get pedicures. Everyone was very nice and I enjoyed the massage chairs they had but was a bit disappointed in the price and quality of the work. My feet didn’t need much work but they could have done a better job on his.
I’ve gotten better work for half the price elsewhere. Wouldn’t go out of my way to go here again unfortunately.

I went in yesterday for gel nails and a pedicure, both people were extremely nice. Today three of my nails on my right hand are chipped :/​really disappointed it’s only been one day.

Good deal for the price!

It kind of depends who you get, but in general, this place is great. There are a few top notch ladies there but I won’t tell you who they are or I won’t be able to get an appointment!
I only took off 1 star because the parking is difficult.

Always well taken care of here. My favorite place to get pampered. Bring cash in order to tip the ladies. Even brought my husband to get a well deserved pedicure for his overworked feet.

Just went back recently for a mani-​pedi. Wow! This place has seriously stepped up their game. Great experience. Next time I will make an appointment because they were super busy.

I’ve been coming here the past few months & really like their service depending on whose helping you, I’ve mostly had great experiences with my pedis but with my manis I feel they kind of rush to get it over with & also the last two times I went my acrylics didnt even last a week without a nail breaking & normally they’ll last me a few weeks so I wasnt too happy about that there I may return there as a last resort cos they have tons of colors & they were very nice but I need my nails to last a little longer then a week without breaking.

I returned yesterday to get seven of my nails redone (five had fallen off at this point). I requested they all be redone because something is clearly wrong. I was told it wasn’t necessary. I originally got my nails done with my friend who lives in the area and explained I can’t keep coming back.
Four of my nails on my right hand were redone and now the one finger that was not — my pinky — has completely fallen off. I am VERY disappointed.
I called today for a refund. I was told they have a no refund policy and was offered a free gel manicure in the future. I will not be returning. Why would I want another gel manicure? I want my money back — I paid for gel nails that last at least a week and did not get that.

If you are a fan of gel nails and/​or nail art this is the spot.
It’s not the cheapest nail place in LA but the work they do is worth it.
Also after that whole New York Times expose of nail salons bringing the treatment of manicurists nationwide to the publics attention, this is a business I feel comfortable supporting. Their technicians tend to stay there long term, take vacations, and are basically not enslaved to the salon!
I generally bring in an idea for my nails I’ve found on Instagram or whatever other inspiration and they work their magic recreating it.
Many salons try and push you into upgrades you don’t want. They might ask gently once if you want say… Callous treatment, but are never pushy or rude.
They do get very busy on weekends so I’ve found its best to make an appointment.

Lots of colors to choose from!

It’s nice to walk into a reasonably priced salon and feel comfortable right from the start. I do, however, feel uncomfortable praising the salon for speaking better English because I don’t feel service and warmth come naturally hand-​in-​hand with speaking the same language as me. It was surprising to encounter. Also surprising was a receptionist. Rare in salons these days unless you pay a fortune. The waiting area is great, with magazines, candles, and plenty of comfortable room to hang. So many chairs makes the wait less than it would elsewhere. For me, I can walk there but I do empathize with drivers. Might I recommend Silver Lake Blvd under the bridge?
It’s been 1 ½ weeks so far and they are holding up well! I even work with bike grease and detergent soap and the nails have held up well. I would normally pay $ 40 total (after tip) at Kailyn on Los Feliz but have paid only $ 10 more here.

I haven’t had anything but great experiences from here. I’ve followed Jessie from CocoNail to Gloss when she moved locations. She’s the only person in LA I trust to do my eyelashes personally, but I know the other ladies here are completely capable as well. The facility is located in the second floor of the (now closed-​down) Assi Market. Gloss is a complete beauty bar now, they do eyelash extensions, eyebrow waxing, and now even bikini waxing! You can get everything done! Make sure you call ahead to schedule an appointment because time slots fill up quickly too!

Nice place for groups to get nails done. I spent more on a massage package where I got a 15 minute leg and foot massage. It felt good. They carry all the top brands in nail color w a huge selection. My only beef was it chipped and cracked a lot sooner than other pedi’s I’ve gotten for less. I told her I needed my cuticles trimmed especially and she barely touched them. Maybe it was jusy the girl I got?
There is a huge parking lot but never parking so plan to pay the meter.

I’m so happy to finally visit this place! It was great. First the front desk person speaks clear English and asks what you would like done, and this is accurately communicated to your nail tech.
They have lots of great higher end brands like Deborah Lippmann, RGB, Ciate and even the new Loubitoun color! I was so happy it wasn’t just rows of OPI.
My friend and I just got pedis, and the nail techs were friendly AND didn’t gossip with each other while they were working. It was so refreshing and I tipped extra for that. The Pedi was $ 25 and I got some crappy gels removed that Twins across the street put on a week ago; that was $ 5.
My nail girl even re-​did one of my toes as she wasn’t happy with it even though I wouldn’t have noticed until I got home.
Their massage chairs are also nice. They look newer and were clean.
We got there at 10:15 shortly after they opened on a Saturday and it was already getting busy as the shop isn’t huge. Also the parking lot isn’t huge though I was lucky enough to get a spot. Score.
It’s maybe $ 3 – 5 more than the Twins place across the street and worth every penny.

Service is good, polish selection is vast, but they are pricey. They are located on a busy corner on Sunset and share a parking lot with a really popular Ramen spot, so it can get tight. I recommend backing in to your parking space — getting out will be so much easier. I had a mani/​pedi and while both were good, I can’t really get on board with the cost. $ 35 for a basic mani/​pedi is much higher than I’d normally pay, but then again, this is Silver Lake so I guess you gotta pay the cost to be the boss. Fortunately, I don’t live in Silver Lake, so I can easily pay $ 23 for my mani/​pedi and the results will be cleaner.
My girl swears by this place and the price point doesn’t seem to bother her, so more power to her.

Best nail place ever. I went here religiously for a gel mani. They were able to do every design I found via Pinterest (: and they have the nail strips!!! I absolutely adore Kimi. She is a beast when it comes to nail art. Such a steady hand and she’s so cute! She has her two cents to give when asked and she gives the best advice when I’m feeling indecisive. I love that they have an ig and feature many of their customers! It’s a great way to show people what they can do and give ideas to what they can get on their nails. Nothing is impossible for them!
I recommend making reservations and coming on time. Also parking is a bit annoying… They share a parking lot with a restaurant and other stores. After a certain time it’s valet only because of the restaurant… But I always street park nearby if I’m lucky. If not, I park in the small neighborhood right behind.
If you’re hungry after the ramen restaurant, that is in the same shopping center, is bombbbbb especially if it’s cold (:

Loved the service! I went in with crazy jeweled gel nails and they were able to remove them and paint me a great new set of designed gel nails.
You pay what you get and that is quality and great friendly service.
