My Nail Couture

I’m in love love love!!! Great service, great nails. Seriously did not expect this one but! They could have up sold but they were completely honest from the beginning. I just found my new nail spot and I’m so excited. Products are top of the line and fresh, everything is clean and in its place. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.

I love the natural look of my nails, but whenever I need my manicure to be done perfect I go right there. I know I can trust Nadia my hands! She does miracle. I checked a lot of places and masters, but I’m sure, she is the best (with all my respect to others). The entire salon actually looks beautiful. As I know it’s under new ownership since last year and I had a chance to meet that amazing woman who runs this business now. I would recommend this place to everybody who cares about the quality!

I love going to this place! First of all the quality of manicures and pedicures is outstanding, the staff is highly qualified. I usually get gel mani/​pedi and some extra designs. I am always impresses by the perfect results. My nails stay looking fresh for at least two weeks and then the natural growing nail process makes me come back, the gel never chips off or brakes! The ladies there are very sweet and accommodating so I can usually make a same day appointment, which is crucial with my busy schedule! Very impressed and I will be back often!

Been coming for over 2 years. Currently under new management and it deserves 5 stars now as it did 2 years ago. The salon is impeccably clean and glam. It’s lovely and so comfy; wonderful way to unwind after a long week. Nadia is a truly superb nail technician! Nadia’s customer service is marked by genuine kindness, polite thoughtfulness, and her incredibly meticulous and flawless artistic skill. My nails are PERFECT each time she does them. Highly recommend! :)

Went here last week and fell in love! The entire staff is so sweet! They’re so gentle and really take their time! Super cleanly and a great selection of colors! Will definitely be back!

I came to the salon and I tried Hard gel for the first time, I really liked it! I also loved the design they did for me. I was very happy when they offered me a 10% discount since I’m a student. I can tell that the new owner, Liliya, cares about every client. Thank you!!!
P. S. Champagne was great!

My Nail Couture is a great salon! nice workers, clean environment and reasonable prices! My nails are great now!

I’m so happy I found this place, it is a hidden gem! This nail salon is very clean and bright. Customer service is exceptional! My manicurist Nadia was absolutely amazing! She is an incredible professional who really loves what she does, such a perfectionist! I’m in love with my new nails! I’ve never seen THIS quality of manicure in LA! Look at those cuticles (!), I’m really impressed.

I am absolutely in love with this salon. Beautiful place and very professional people. I get very picky with my nails but I highly recommend this place.

Love, love the décor, atmosphere and help, courteous staff. A grand experience and it’s open on Sundays! 2 thumbs up!

Love this place! I always grab a coffee from Starbucks and walk to this place always feeling welcomed. It’s clean and chic! So if you want to get a mani or Pedi with a VIP vibe then this is the place to be!

Couldn’t even get past the complete rudeness & lack of interest in customer service ON THE PHONE!!! Really? Unbelievable…

Loved this place… unfortunately, Helen and David are no longer there. They did move to the salon across the street Labela Beauty Salon.

Just moved down the street and walked over on a Sunday afternoon for a pedicure. Such a super cute place, very comfortable. Was helped right away and offered coffee or water immediately. The nail tech did a great job and will definitely be going back. Major plus that they were open on a Sunday!

SUCH a nice salon. This is not your average cheap looking and feeling nail place with random TV playing in a corner. This place is gorgeous, and very calm and intimate feeling. Thank God they don’t use those silly «massage» chairs, but instead you can sit in a big soft comfy chair with nice pillows, which is so much more relaxing. They offer a beverage and are so accommodating. David did my gels and he’s a perfectionist like me– the shape was totally even. Looks perfect! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I love this place! High quality service, lovely atmosphere and amazing customer service!

My nails came out great! It was peaceful… music playing, nice setting and good prices. Will be back!

David did my gel French tips! Love them! He took his time and from what I observed has a lot of experience! Worth every penny!

There are dozens of nail salons along Ventura Blvd within each 10 blocks radius. I tried a lot of them along my stretch of the boulevard. Some are good; some are not so good; this one is great!!!
It is more than just a good mani or pedi. It is a great experience. A very relaxing experience. A treat. And that is what separate My Nail Couture from the others. You actually enjoy your time there! It is clean, nice, the owner and staff are professional, talented and respectful.
You do not feel rushed out of there. The place and the instruments are so clean and you feel pampered.
This is now the only place I go to get a great mani pedi that last!

OK im late on my review for this place but man… im so in love! I found this gem thanks to Unilocal and was soo happy Laque Nail bar was too busy to see us common folks because this place was perfect! I had mad apointments for me and moms on a sunday for her bridal party and they welcomed us with open arms. This place was small and quite only 4 spa chairs, very chic and peaceful. Going on a sunday was perfect as it was just mom and I :)
Everyone was nice and sweet, my big toe kept giving me issues and getting smuged soo the lady walked me to the car and fixed it there so that i didnt have to move till i got home lol she was soo patient it was great!!! I will seriously be back it was worth every penny!!!

If you have acrylics, then David at My Nail Couture is your man! I am constantly getting complimented on my nails and have referred a bunch of people to him.
The salon is super cute and girly with big huge arm chairs, which makes it pretty hard to resist a pedicure. The staff is extremely friendly and they always offer water or coffee after you sit down. Their selection of colors are really great, and the prices are great as well!
GO!

Definitely not feeling this place… let me explain why.
Boyfriend and I were strolling the Boulevard on Saturday at dusk, which happened to be my birthday. We were trying to get into Serene Haven… but didn’t…more about that in another review. We very randomly passed by Nail Couture and puzzled outside for a few minutes as to whether or not we should go in. I hesitated because there were two nail technicians inside sitting side by side, a man and a woman, doing nothing… just snacking and playing on their iphones. Call me oversensitive, but I felt the man kept looking at me like «Please do not come in here… I don’t want to work right now!» If I’m assuming that, it’s definitely fair to say that he wasn’t looking at me very welcomingly, and even more fair to say that once we entered, he was even less welcoming… looking tired and resigned, he allowed the receptionist to seat me at his station without so much as a hi, hello, or how are you.
The receptionist had made it clear that it was my birthday, but the man was having none of it. No communication, not even the smallest of smiles, and for reasons unknown to me, he got up and left the table at least a dozen times during my simple manicure. I felt like I was a huge hassle in this man’s day, and that he would have rather been anywhere in the world than working on my nails. Should I add that I am a very well-​dressed, upscale type person that is exceedingly polite and overfriendly to all? There is nothing about me and no personal reason for this man to have been behaving in such a manner.
So…it goes from unfriendly to gross. The manicure bowl of marbles & water (classy) in which he gave me to soak in initially was lukewarm at best. By the time he got to my left hand, it was ice cold. Unpleasant. But worse… as he was cutting off copious amounts of my cuticle, rather than discreetly wiping it on the towel, as is the norm, the man was dumping (yes, dumping) these huge amounts of cut cuticle INTO my soaking bowl! Ugh!!! Never in a lifetime of manicures have I ever experienced that. It was so nasty… just sitting there soaking in ice cold water while heaps of my own dead skin just swirled around my fingers and floated on the top. Truly sickening… at one point I honestly thought it would make me vomit.
Simple, ultra-​quick massage, simple ultra-​quick paint job. The manicure was $ 20…it must have been extra for french polish… I was disappointed in my manicure though because he only painted white tips onto clear base and then topped it with Seche Vite… there was no creamy pink background/​base coat, as is the norm. Sigh. I sweetly reached into my bag and handed Mr. Personality a five dollar bill, which he was happy to snatch. My sweet boyfriend paid for the birthday manicure, and only once we were outside comparing notes did I find out that my boyfriend had also tipped Mr. Greedy… in cash. Really??? How rude!!! I take the time to tip you 25% in cash, and then when my boyfriend tips you without me seeing it, instead of saying «Oh, thank you sir, it’s already been taken care of», you just reach out your greedy little hand and accept a now 40% tip? On a totally substandard manicure that was not only cold and unfriendly, but yes, starting to majorly chip less than 24 hours later? Bad, bad news, man.
I don’t know this man’s name, but there was a young woman and two men working in the salon that evening… one definitely older, and this was the older man. None of them are going to win any personality contests, but at least the receptionist was incredibly friendly and welcoming and wished me a happy birthday, chatted up my boyfriend and made us feel welcome. Still, she’s not the one doing the nails, so with the grossness and the unfriendliness and the double dipping tipping, I won’t be back. Check out the picture I posted of my Nail Couture manicure, less than 48 hours after it was completed.

Fancy nail experience at a decent price!
I had just gone to David for the first time before he moved to this new location, but had gotten so many compliments on my new nails that I knew I had to follow him to Nail Couture. Boy am I glad I did! Not only is he amazing, but the experience is sooooo relaxing.
The décor is posh and pretty (lavender, black, and white w/​crystal accents). The pedicure seats are actually sofa armchairs that are SO comfy! They also offer water, coffee, and even chocolates!
One of the nicest features is that they have parking in the back, which is so rare for anything on Ventura Blvd. This makes SUCH a difference.
I just loved this place. Everyone was very nice and I felt both catered to and relaxed, which is exactly what you want when you’re on a girly errand day. Would highly recommend!
