Satin Soles

Solid mani + pedi at a reasonable price for the neighborhood. They squeezed me in at the end of the day and they were so nice.

First time I went here I was super impressed. Relaxing service. The girls are sweet.
The second time I came here, my manicure chipped the second day after getting it. I was pretty bummed but didn’t want to go back to have them fix it.
I’ll give them another shot because Chakra massage place is down the street so massage & nails is always a good day followed by margaritas at el Carmen :)

It was nice, but very expensive and not justified.
There is saloons all over less expensive and more fun

Sorry I didn’t catch my manicurist’s name as I was stopping in on a trip back to by beloved LA neighborhood and got a gel mani that literally has lasted THREE AND A HALF WEEKS! Unbelievable. I’ve had my nails done here before but first time getting a gel. Mind you in the last 3 ½ weeks I traveled twice — airports, luggage etc. – moved into a new place lugging boxes, furniture and cleaning – on top of everyday life. Not a crack or chip. Just my nail outgrowth in the picture I posted. Truly fabulous.

After I found this place, I no longer go anywhere else. Really good prices. Very very clean. The women that work there are super friendly. They switched to cash only a while back which is kind of a pain but they have an onsite atm so that helps! I also love that they have comfy arm chairs instead of the gross massage/​pedicure chairs.

I was a walk in and got seated within a few minutes for my mani pedi. They had a girl work on my pedicure first while another girl finished with another customer.
The girl that did my toes was very quiet. I didn’t mind that. Then another girl started on my manicure about 8 minutes later. After cutting the nails on my right hand, she switched with another girl so that she could work on another customer’s manicure. Kind of annoying, but whatever. The second girl that worked on my nails was pretty talkative. More than I would have liked. Lots of questions. Lots of info about how much she actually makes and what the owner takes as a cut. Things I really didn’t need to know. Then she asked (just like the girl doing my pedi aided if I wanted the sea salt and callus remover) if I would like to do the paraffin for my fingers since she said my hands were very pretty but was dry. I get it. They want to up sell so that they can get a bigger cut, but trying to scare me about how my hands and feet will NEVER be the same if I continue to not get the paraffin or callus remover, does not work with me.
My manicure and pedicure look great, I just wish that I could have enjoyed some peace and quiet though. Plus they were only taking cash only that day (not sure if that’s their new norm) instead of taking credit cards like the last time I came. So, I took 1 star away for those two things.

I ADORE this salon. Jenny is my manicurist & she shapes my nails perfectly!
The best deal is the mani/​pedi as a mani on its own is $ 18.
The only draw back is it is cash only now. BOO!
They have an ATM inside but I personally only trust bank ATM’s.
Go and see Jenny!

Michelle is the best! Not only is she incredibly professional and adept at a perfect manicure, but she is a consummate artist and is creative, talented and endlessly sweet! She’s been doing my nails for months now, and even stayed late when I had to catch a flight early the next morning. I once showed her a photo of an intricate manicure I’d seen and asked if she could recreate it. Even though she’d never done anything like it before, she was totally game to try, and ended up nailing it (haha!). It was even better than the original. I totally trust her taste and her abilities. Won’t go anywhere else for a manicure.

I have been coming here for 1 ½ years.
Mani and pedi quality is always high and all the girls are very nice and friendly.
And these are the main reason why I am coming back regularly.
They disappointments are the chair (no massage!) and the new CASH ONLY policy!
It is not a cheap place and for the prices they are charging I would expect more comfortable and newer chairs and be able to pay with my card!
They have an ATM inside the shop (that makes it look cheap) and they charge you $ 1 for each withdrawal.
Can we go back to the present time and allow cards?

Absolutely love this place! I don’t even live in the area, but I always plan on getting a pedicure here when I know I’m headed to LA.
I usually pay about $ 30 (including my optional tip) and it’s worth every single penny. The cut and color of my pedicure always comes out perfect. The polish stays on with no chips or smudges for up to 3 weeks. It would probably stay longer but I always go back by then.
Go here, you will not regret it!

Came here last week with my co-​workers to get pampered up on a Thursday night. It’s kind of easy to find since it’s right on 3^rd St and Fairfax — across from Trader Joes. Hint. parking is honestly ridiculous around this area so good luck with that. You can either find parking on the street and pay for the meter, or you can park across the street at the Trader Joes parking lot, buy something small at Trader Joe and get it validated for like $ 6? If not you’re looking to pay about $ 20 or more. Eh. LA parking is always the worst next on list from it’s traffic.
Okay on to the service here! The owner of the shot is a Vietnamese lady, she’s super nice and friendly. Most of the workers in there are Mongolian as they say? They have tons of workers where one does your nails and one does your toes. so it’s super efficient and fast. The setting is kind of nice. they have about 10 – 15 seats or so? I didn’t exactly count, but the seats are across from each other so you can talk to your friends if you’re attending together. Everything looks pretty clean I think. Anyway. to the service. I just got black french tips along with a gold line on top. It looks super pretty. Hasn’t chipped just yet and I hope for it to stay another week or 2. I do a lot of chores, so sometimes my nails chip very easily and I get sad. But they massage your hand and feet before they paint them which feels super nice!
Another thing they offered was some scrub and wax thing that my co-​worker did. They put your hands or feet in this bag filled with wax liquid and then wrap it around this heated thing. You kind of look like a doughboy cause you have no hands or feet. HAHa! I didn’t get that done, but I heard afterwards your hand feels super soft and whatnot! Pricing wise. I didn’t pay so I honestly have no idea but I’m sure if you call in and ask they’ll be more than happy to let you know! :)

Came here for gel nails and a pedicure. It’s been 9 days and my nails still look flawless. They did a great job on my nails and toes and love their rewards system. I haven’t been to a salon that offers a free manicure after 10. I generally go to places on the west side and their prices are roughly what I expected to pay but effort they put into your nails is well worth the price. They have a good selection of colors to choose from and the salon itself is really cute with comfy chairs (not spa chairs) which I prefer to spa chairs. They offer services but are not pushy at all. Will definitely be back in 3 weeks.

I usually just get the regular mani and pedi. Their nail polish application technique is on-​point. Their mani and pedis lasts relatively long (minimal chips, sustained glossiness/​finish). My current pedi is actually going on 3 weeks and looks like they’ll last another week or so (the only reason I’d want to get them done soon is because the color is growing out). I usually get a pedi every 2 weeks (due to a fading finish or chips). If they know you’re rushing out they usually spray a setter or something to help the polish dry faster (I was skeptical, but this works and I don’t smudge my nails when I leave). This place is worth the splurge. Bear in mind that I wash my hands A LOT (I’m currently nursing so I’m constantly washing my pumping supplies AND baby bottles too).
Good customer service (the artists talk to you and don’t give you the feeling that they’re talking about you). Clean facilities. The tools are coming out of unopened packages and are either sterilized or thrown away after each customer.
Parking: Metered parking available. But… with an appointment: I’ve been able to park across the street in the Trader Joe’s lot, get my mani and pedi done, buy something at Trader Joe’s for parking validation, and get out of the parking lot without having to pay for parking. (This parking method is at your own risk.)
Cash only. Sign up for their Rewards membership.

Cash only. No massage chairs. Same service as any no frills place, but they get you with add-​ons. My pedicure was $ 42. Lynn’s is just as good & nowhere near as pricey (wish open on Sundays)

Satin Soles never fails! I’ve been going here for a couple of years and have been my fav nail salon ever since I first started coming here! The greatest thing is that every single technician there is awesome… they all do impeccable work, manis and pedis! They used to have a stamp loyalty card, but just upgraded to a «key chain card thing» and you get one point for each service… one for a manicure, one for a pedicure… every ten points, one free service!

I give this 5 stars solely for Michelle!!! She is amazing. I have not yet been so satisfied with a manicurist as I was yesterday when I happened to find this place by accident. She did a great job on my nails. I had a gel manicure French with a design $ 45 well worth the money. The place itself is nice and clean and I love love love the fact that they do not reuse their file boards. Almost everything is one time use minus the instruments which are autoclave. Smiles from ear to ear.

Beautiful job on gel nails, clean salon & equipment. quiet environment & my nail tech spent quality time on my nails.

LOVE this nail salon. I’ve been coming here for over a year since I moved into the area. Its walking distance from my house and always VERY clean.
Michelle always does my gel manicures and does a wonderful job. Shes always gentle and doesn’t ruin ny nails by scraping them thin. I constantly get complimented on my nails. Couldn’t be happier.

I was referred by a friend and I am SO thankful! Sally and Emma are pure talent. The place is clean, relaxing, quiet and the women are very friendly. There is literally any gel color you can think of available. I had great conversation with both Sally and Emma and enjoyed every second of my time there.
I am a stickler for even, clean polish and they both exceeded my expectations. Well worth the price! Only downside is the only parking is street parking at it is basically down the street from the Grove so parking is very limited.

DO NOT COME. I was forced to go here after my nail place called Lynn’s nails was closed. They did a good job but when I went to go pay the total was 38 DOLLARSS for a mani/​pedi! I usually pay 22 DOLLARSS for that. ALSO they didn’t even have a menu for a set price of what they offered. Basically they just throw whatever at you to pay.
