L & D Nails

Wouldn’t give a star at all if it were an option. Went there this past Tuesday for a shellac Polish change. The man (owner?) Started on my nails drilling it off (I’ve never had shellac drilled before. …ouch) a woman came in wanting a fill so he had her sit in a chair, left me and my nails to soak in acetone while he just left to tend to the other woman. I sat and soaked long enough that I was able to just wipe the polish off myself and I took my hands out of the acetone since it started to feel Iike it was burning my skin. A woman came and took over and she was very nice but her work was horrible! She painted very sloppy and over my nail beds so it stuck to my skin under the uv light. After the color was painred, she left me to tend on another customer as well! I was under the light so long i began to feel like my hands were burning in a tanning bed. She FINALLY came back over and finished. I was then charged $ 25 for a manicure but I had just wanted a polish change. Apparently slopping cream on my hand counted as the manucure?! Needless to say my nails are looking like crappie and the shellac is coming off where it went onto my skin and it’s only been a few days. I will never go back there again!

Wish I could give zero stars. I came here with a girlfriend to get pedicures and gel nails. I usually do my own gels but live in Los Angeles and obviously couldn’t pack up my UV light and all my gels. I’ve never had a bad experience at a nail salon until now. PURE LAZINESS. I don’t think they understand how to do gels. Both our manicures looked like a 5 year old painted them. The cuticles were not nipped/​pushed back. The polish was all over the cuticles. When gel polish dries messy like that you can’t just wipe it off, it dries hard, and then it will cause the entire polish to lift and come off once wet. The pedicures were okay, I was fine with the pedicures. But I couldn’t believe how terrible our nails looked. I felt bad because my girlfriends was wayyyyy worse than mine and I insisted they fix hers. They fixed it once, we left to get something to eat and two of her nails started peeling off. What a joke. I asked for a refund on her nails and they refused and just kept saying they can fix it. The only way to fix this would be to remove the entire gel manicure and start over, and properly push the cuticles back and paint INSIDE the lines. The people here are just lazy. Don’t go here!!!

Inexpensive, but filthy. I do not know why I did not walk out. Several employees lounging around. The floor was fillthy. After my mani/​pedi I witnessed my technician rinse her tools off and place them back in her drawer. No sanitation of tubs between use. No signs of sterilization equipment.

The poor experience at L&D compelled me to create a Unilocal account. I had an appt for a gel shellac manicure. I had the absolute worst manicure (if you could call it that) of my life. There was no «manicuring», just basically the removal of the polish and then the new gel Polish added. The place is dirty, the staff are unfriendly, and the atmosphere is anything except relaxing. There was no music, only the football game on the TV, umm… isn’t this a nail salon?! The male owner started my nails, he rudely took a personal phone call at one point, then later on he randomly switched with a woman manicurist with no explanation. There was no, «she will finish you» or anything. Rude.
Seriously I walked out of there 25 bucks poorer with a lousy manicure, which pisses me off. I will never step foot back I’m that place and I don’t recommend you do either. I had to give one star because none isn’t an option. My nails look like my 5 year old painted them. I’m not kidding.

Prices are cheap but you get what u pay for… Nail polish wears off within a week on acrylic nails … The acrylic turns verrrrrry yellow… Their designs aren’t great and when they hey nail polish all over your fingers they tell you it will wash off in the shower .and the man is pretty rude.

I wish I had read some of the reviews below before entering this salon. As with another customer, as I entered, the 2 women employees were asleep on a sofa. There were no other customers, which should have been my sign to walk away, but I was in a hurry and just wanted a quick manicure so I stayed. The male manicurist did a horrible job and made me shout in pain more than once. This was the worst manicure experience I have ever had and I felt compelled to post this review (which is something I never have done in the past).

This place is terrible… people sleeping on the couches that work there… and dirty dirty
Not go here

I am brand new to the area after relocating from out of state. My daughter (age 10) and I dropped in so that we could get pedicures and I needed a gel fill in. When we walked into the door two of the employees were asleep on the couch and there was one patron seated in the chair getting a pedicure.
I should have turned around and walked right out but thought foolishly getting a fill would be standard and I was in great need after the move. As I got my Pedi by one lady a gentleman began filing away with a dremel tool on my nails. Which would not have been a big deal except he sanded a nice raw spot on my pinky. To which I got an «oh I’m so sorry».
Now with my nails all different lengths and hacked away I felt obligated to get them corrected. I clearly asked for a gel fill but he insisted and proceeded to overlay with acrylic. He didn’t even bother taken all the residue color off from my old french manicure. I had my nails painted red, had I gone french again I would not have been able to due to the horrible base.
My nails have chipped and now need to be soaked off and a new set applied. This cheap, horrible experience will run me over $ 100 at a more upscale salon. I cringe every time I pass by this location which always looks like a ghost town. I have no clue how they can stay open.

Do not trust the good reviews of this nail salon. I went in with my mom for a pedicure and neither of us we happy. When you walk in the door, you are hit with the smell of stale cigarettes. We both upgraded to the «special» pedi (we had to read the description off a paper to know what we were getting). My toenails were barely filed and there was hardly any cuticle clean up at all. Added bonus: they did not even use a base coat on other of us. There is so much competition out there, this place is not worth it!

if there was a lower rating than this, i would give it. this place is a disaster and a rip off. i had to have them do my toes twice because they didn’t shape, cut or polish correctly and the polish was lumpy and all over my feet. they had another technician re-​paint my nails and she did an even worse job. my niece left first and paid for my pedicure. i was outraged at the result and asked for my money back. the guy was rude and kept saying ‘no money back for you.” it was awful!!! this place should be shut down. do not go there and tell all of your friends not to go there!

I walked into L&D for a pedicure and was seated right away the pedicure lasted all of 10 minutes. I wasnt expecting the greatest pedicure given the price listed $ 20 even though I was charged $ 25. I would never come back here for a pedicure.

The owner is a rude bastard. The first time I came here he did my nails, a fill job. Not only did he cut my finger (thank goodness it didn’t go gang green lmao) he didn’t even do a proper french manciure, which is what I had. He thought he was saving me money by only putting white on the tips and using NO color on the rest. It looked like dog shit, and I’m being nice. And he just said that when I came back next time he’d use color. HA, if I come back I’m certainly not having you touch my nails again. So I had to deal with them looking like ass for a couple weeks. Went back to my reg nail joint and the guy was like «Who did your nails last?» I was embarassed because A. I didn’t go back there and B. Because he could clearly tell they looked like SHIT. Oh and until trying another place for a pedi, I apparently never got a «real» one before. Here they just try and get you in and out as fast as possible, when in reality, a pedi should last at least a half hour, they get theirs done in about 10 – 15 minutes. And it’s not a relaxing experience, as it should be, they are quite rough and they don’t do any sort of exfoliant/​massage/​treatments just cuticles, scraping the bottom of your feet, quickly moisturizing your legs and feet, then the nails of course. I actually gave the place a second chance and got Kelly, she’s super nice and sweet. Inconsistent work though, and she rushes you, the first time my nails looked amazing, the second visit just so-​so, and then downhill on my third. It’s just not worth it, esp. since there are so many other salons in the area. All about the benjamins baby!!!

Aside from a high-​end salon, this place is the best around for services and customer service. The people who work here are so sweet and they do a nice job on nails (especially solid colors with a little flower) — I don’t particularly like the french style here (just my personal preference).
Ive gotten mani/​pedi and eyebrow wax here and have not been disappointed. I actually thought my eyebrows looked the best they ever have– they didn’t over-​do it at all!
They are fairly priced and comparable to others in the area. However they prefer cash as you cannot tip on credit carts. so at least bring cash for a tip.
I never need an appointment– I’ve always just walked in and they’ve taken me.
I recommend this place as 5-​stars for a nail place. only thing to beat them is pricey high-​end salons (in a completely different category in my mind), which I would skip in a heartbeat for these prices.
$ 35 for a mani/​pedi and $ 8 for eyebrow wax.
They now offer the gel shellac manicures now, which I have not tried yet. they’re a bit more expensive than a regular mani.

Great price for a full set that I got today, but I noticed the tips were crooked and not filed right so when I pointed it out, the lady told me it was my finger. …even if my finger is crooked, you can file the nail to make it straight. Also there were little hairs everywhere on the tips when she was done polishing, from cotton I guess, so when I pulled the off, the polish came with. You get what you pay for I guess

This place is great! My boyfriend lives in the area, so I come here every so often and I’ve never been disappointed!
I went in tonight, walked in at 5:15pm with no appointment and they took me right away, no problem. They were very friendly and they worked quickly & efficiently. I got a new set of white tips ($ 25). They were done in less than 45minutes and the nails are sturdy and look great!
The one strange thing they do (for acrylics), that I’ve never seen at another salon before, is instead of using clear polish at the end — they put this pink «buffer» lotion on your nails, they then buff your nails and they are shiny… no clear polish or long drying time needed — after you wash your hands you are ready to leave. some might prefer the clear polish but I hate waiting for them to dry — so I think the buffer lotion is great!
Parking is convenient, there are always spots outside and it’s located right on rt.125. They are open until 7pm most nights — I would definitely recommend it to a friend!
