Lovely Nails

My new favorite spot for my nails. They are very careful and creative on your nails. Even if you want somethings very simple they make it so beautiful

The pedicure I got was ok but the place overall was terrible. It was absolutely silent in there, no music, they were vacuuming, and then a lady came in and talked on the phone for the ENTIRE HOUR of my pedicure. It was the only sound in the place and it was so awkward. I mean I understand it’s not their fault she was rude and not abiding by social niceties, but if they had any music or anything it would have helped. It also did not feel very clean in there, kind of grossed me out. Spending $ 10 – 15 more would be worth it somewhere else.

Eh but great bargain. I came here on a week day and walked in. The «private lot» is indeed there behind the store but I had to do like a 17 point turn to get out. Anyway, they were very friendly. A «spa» mani pedi (which means you get to sit in big chair instead of regular chair) is only $ 25 which is an insane deal. But you get what you pay for. Color selection and actual work was very eh. They did hands first which was nice so you could drive. I had to put on my sandals myself and then messed up my toe so I had to ask her to adjust. Overall my nails look fine far away but pretty crappy up close. Oh well.

Horrible place, do not come here!!! I wanted a manicure during my lunch and they initially told me it takes them 20 minutes for a manicure-​WRONG it took her 50 minutes without the extra time it took to fix the mistakes !! My nail tech, Marion, did the absolute worst job cutting my cuticles. She left them dry and peeling, it looked gross. When she painted on the nail polish, she pushed the polish up to my nail bed and got it on my skin. I had to tell her to clean up my nails because it looked so bad. The polish started to cake near the cuticle because it was drying on the skin as well and began to crack even before I left the salon. I asked her to clean up the polish on the nail bed and she did such a poor job. I told the owner who then told me it was going to take another 20 minutes to fix my nails, which I couldn’t be cause I had to go back to work, and she still wanted me to pay up. The manicure was listed as $ 12 and she charged me $ 13. SAVE YOUR MONEY, do not come here because you’ll leave upset that you wasted $ 13+.

Well that was my first and last time going to this place. There are just so many other places to go and spend $ 59 on your nails. I had to ask to be put in a pedicure chair, the service is just not there, ladies looked unhappy and just getting the job done. Not a nice place to sit and enjoy getting your nails done. No ambiance, totally quiet, small color selection, gel color samples are old and dull. My toenails were uneven and polish done so messy, overall not impressed.

This place is great! I’ve been coming here for 10+ years (I live close) and have never had a bad experience. The ladies are lovely and the prices are great. I will say it’s nothing fancy, so don’t expect top notch spa treatment. But for the prices they’re charging, you get what you expect and more!

These ladies are nail geniuses!
I went in and saw that the place was very clean.
They did my nails with such precision, and they were quick. I was in and out in a little less than hour.
Not to mention, their massages were actually good! Normally, places will just rub lotion on you and call it a massage, which is still nice, but they actually removed knots in my hands and feet (as a crossfitter and runner, this was greatly appreciated.).
I will definitely return. I’m not sure why I ever went anywhere else.
Best mani/​pedi, fastest service, amazing massage, and they hd a sense of humor about the fact that I am ticklish. Oh, and great prices!

I’m from philly so coming to Brentwood everything is super expensive ! Until I saw mani and pedi for 22 dollars! A little skeptical I went in and it wasn’t the nicest looking place BUT WHERE THEY LACK AT INTERIOR DECORATING ! Man oh man They can do some nails and feet ! I had Tina and an older lady and they spent an hour on my feet and like 30 on my nails! Tina and her mom did an amazing job!!! Definitely going back and the prices were amazing. Only thing is they don’t have dryers for your nails or feet so it took a long time to dry other than that ! It was great!

I have been going to this place for a while now! Tina is AMAZING!!! Her work is flawless!

They weren’t very crowded on a Friday afternoon and I was able to walk right in. I got a pedicure and eyebrow wax for $ 30 including tip. They did a fantastic job with the pedicure although apparently it’s $ 3 extra for the nice spa chairs. They also tried to up sell me three times while I was there which was a little frustrating. The building and instruments are clean and they do a good overall job for their services. Definitely no bells and whistles though.

I had the worst ingrown that was bugging me and I normally go to my usual spot but didnt feel like making the drive so I Unilocaled this place found out that Tina does a good job with ingrown, and boy does she. I work right across the street so its very convenient. Its a bit pricey but you end up feeling great when you leave. I really recommend this place! Great nail colors too! The ambiance is a bit shabby… But most of all my TOE feels much better :)

Hi Erin! I see you left a poor review below mine– the salon doesn’t remember your check and thinks you have the wrong salon. Can you please show them your receipt from your visit and then if your comment is in error, please remove it and place it on the correct salon. Either way, please give them a call. And if your comment was a spam attack — please remove it too. Thank you!

Tiny gives a great foot and leg massage. It’s hard to find someone who can get in and work my foot with strong enough fingers. It was very relaxing. And my toes look great!

Great service and gel mani/​pedi for $ 40 or just gel mani $ 25

I have been getting mani/​pedis from the place since 2009 and recommend it every chance I get. Helen does my gels and am always so happy with the way the turn out!

Very nice ladies and they did a great job on my mom’s and my nails.

Improperly removed gels
on the phone during the pedi scrub dropping the phone
really rushed
Wont return

I went here with a group to get mani-​pedis prior to a wedding. We were seated promptly and taken care of very well. The pedicure was great, felt very nice and a week later my toenails still look perfect. The manicure was done well, too. I had a french manicure done and again, it still looks very nice. My only complaint was that they didn’t sit me next to a dryer to seal my nails and I ended up messing up one of my thumbs when I left the shop.

I found Lovely Nails a couple months ago by searching in Santa Monica/​West Los Angeles for Axxium, which is a gel nail that is supposed to be better than acrylics. I absolutely loved the results the first couple times (see the pictures). The excitement faded a bit once I realized it was just as bad for your nails as acrylics, but I’m still enjoying the fact that it will not chip AT ALL for at least two weeks.
Helen is always available when I want to come in, and is always careful and precise. Another thing I love about the «color gel,» as they call it, is that you get the full manicure with it, so your hands look fantastic when you leave. This would definitely be what I would do if I had a wedding, or an important event, where I wanted to look perfect.
Lovely Nails is located across the street from Ross and next to McDonalds. There is parking in the back or on the side streets. No parking on Wilshire from 4 – 7 pm.
The waxing was excellent, too. I intend to try out the pedicure my next time.
