Planet Nails & Spa

I love Planet Nails and have been going to Lina for mani’s and pedi’s for a couple of years. She is meticulous and does a fabulous job. It’s a relaxing setting and the massages are wonderful as well. Parking can be tricky, so I try and book at times when it’s not so busy. The staff are friendly and very flexible with my crazy schedule.

Was not happy with the way my pedicure turned out. I complained to the manager about how rough my toe nails looked when they were finished and they proceeded to make excuses and say the way my toes were shaped made it impossible to smooth out the surface of my nails, which I find odd after getting many pedicures in the past which my toes came out just fine. They rushed thru my manicure as well and the massage was the most half-​ass thing I’ve ever seen. Sadly I won’t be returning here. There are too many nails places to settle for terrible service like that.

My first visit was good and I was happy with the mani and pedi. However this time was not as good. According to OPI chief scientist Paul Bryson, the most common reason why nail plates are injured during a soak-​off gel removal is because nail technicians do not let the product soak long enough to fully break the bond to the natural nail. The guy removing my gel manicure did not allow the acetone to sit on my nails for more than a minute. He just kept scrapping away at my nails and I now have damages nail plates.
Point of this review dont sit back while a nail technician is scrapping away at your nails, pay and tip them to wind up with damaged nails. No thanks I will not be back.

I have been here before for my pedicure and they were super nice. This is my second visit for threading. The lady was so incredibly rude this time. She started to rush it so fast I was in terrible pain I had to tell her to stop. I had to turn my head away from the pain. She abruptly told me that she thought I was getting waxing and she had no time for threading even though the lady at the front desk said yes we can do threading now. She said «You don’t like it? I have no time for slower». I couldn’t believe this. I could expect this in another country but not the USA.
Terrible service! I walked out and will not be returning. Don’t go here!

Planet Nails has a very friendly staff! Although, I did give them 3 stars because I’m just very picky with how my nails are done. Im only in LA for the summer and PN is only about two blocks from where I stay so it was very convenient but my gel manicure did not last nearly as long as it should have.
Positives: very fast to sit you down, extremely friendly, offers water/​soda, many many choices in gel colors
Negatives: my gel peeled within 3 days of getting them done, that never happens! I also had two friends with me, they both got pedicures, regular manicure, and a gel manicure. They both were not happy with the pedicure, especially the price. For what we got pedicures and manicures, it just seemed very rushed and after we noticed it was very uneven.
All in all, Planet Nails has great service but just rushed.

It took me a long time to write this because it is so embarassing. I think if a nail salon causes you to get toe fungus they deserve 0 stars. It took a year for my big toenails to go back to normal. I went here because a friend reccomended it. Perhaps she only got a manicure. I would be really afraid of putting my feet in their foot bath if I were you. It’s obviously not sterilized and the tools must not be thoroughly cleaned. Stay far away!!!

Lena at Planet Nails is a genius. She gives a pedicure like a doctor. I highly recommend her & Planet Nails. Very relaxing, nice people, and your feet will feel like the day you were born! Unisex. Men get those nasty feet to Lena!

After few years we can back!!! I love this place the owners and the staff there the best and even the remaining old days and the still remember our names!!! Best place for nails and best customer services!!!

I’m in town on business and needed a mani/​pedi pretty desperately so I Unilocaled what was nearby. The reviews were great so I walked here from my hotel around the corner. I had a wonderful experience the staff are all so friendly. Fabulous attention to detail. One of the best manicures I’ve ever had. Thank you Lily! I will definitely be back.

I was a patron of this small nail salon for 4+ years and they were my favorite spot in the city. This salon is very clean, polishes are in good condition (although I mostly brought my own) I was very happy and managed to say goodbye to acrylics and build healthy nails while coming to this salon. The prices are stellar for the service, they offer you soda or water, give a descent foot massage instead of rushing and the polish was always applied with precision.
Parking can be a pain and sometimes turn over would disappoint me but each time I quickly found another person there who did equally as detailed manicures.

Hit or miss depending on who you have. I’ve yet to find a replacement for my favorite nail tech who left. Most of the techs don’t clean the edges of my nails and it drives me crazy because I am so picky. But, the polish lasts the longest for me at nearly a week for manis.

Great service and a great price! Planet Nails is always able to squeeze me in, and all of their manicurists are polite, professional, and accommodating. They make sure their customers are satisfied with the results, and I’ve never had a sub-​par experience. Compared to other nail salons I’ve been to, Planet Nails has incredibly reasonable and affordable pricing and delivers quality results.

Their mani/​pedi always last super long. Very happy with their service.

I love Planet Nails!
I was just traveling for the holidays and had my nails done twice on the road. I sent my best girlfriend a very long text rant about how I wish I was at planet nails, because most other nail salons don’t have the level of particular-​ness that PN does. I’m really picky. I’m a designer and I present product in my job, and people are always looking at my hands, so it’s important to me that my nails be perfect all the time. When I come here, I know I’ll leave happy! They accommodate my über OCD need for completely perfect nails ²⁴⁄₇. I’m so glad they are down the street!
Also, it’s very clean, they have a heat sterilizer.
I’ll see them again soon for #manimondays I’m sure!

Worst place. At least who did me. Water for pedicure was ice cold. Woman sat sideways talking through entire foot massage barely doing anything. My friend who started at same time as me was still getting her feet rubbed when my polish was being out on. She kept looking at door and was distracted entire time and was the worst.

Avoid like the plague. I went in there with long natural nails. I asked for them to be slightly filed now I have short stubby nails. Then the lady kept answering her phone whilst cutting my cuticles. On her last call she proceeded to cut me. That’s when I gave a piece of my mind and left bleeding.
It doesn’t even deserve a single star.
I have an event to go to and have to finish the job myself.

I have been going to Planet Nails for nearly a year and tonight was the last straw. I have never found someone who does my nails reliably well, and each time I go it is a total gamble. They never have my color, and when they don’t have it they try to sell me on another color… If I want black, then that’s what I’m looking for… not purple or blue… Black! Not to mention that these girls need to stow the attitude when they are providing a service that you are paying them for. It’s ridiculous. Eye rolling, brusque movements, etc.
Mani/​Pedi is $ 33, with tip it’s $ 40. Too much to pay to have to come home and fix my nails myself. Soooo pissed! Also, the water got cold during the spa pedicure and I asked if it could be warmed up a little. I nearly got scalded when my feet got blasted with hot water… No warning, just hot hot water on my feet. And then I was rushed to have it turned back off. Lame.
So. I bring my own polish with me, because I like my Orly top coat and they are always out of my color. The girl kept bitching about my nail polish and was really cranky about it. I asked her what was wrong with it, and she just muttered and sighed. I don’t get it. Then, she messed up one of my nails and gave me static about having to re-​do it… There was a lump in it, and she was going to have me leave with it there. It wasn’t like I wrecked it on my way to my car or anything… She was still finishing and it wasn’t right!
And to top it off… one of the girls will usually help me get my keys out of my purse and put my wallet away, but I guess my girl was so pissed about having to fix my nail tonight that she didn’t want to get off her phone and assist me.
The only reason I’m giving them stars is because they always offer me a drink, the massage chairs are decent, and there is parking in the back. Otherwise, no more Planet Nails for me.
Thank goodness there’s no shortage of nail salons in WeHo.

Was introduced to this spa by a friend and honestly haven’t really found one that I like more in LA!
I always make an appointment, so I’m not sure how well they deal with walk-​ins, but I’ve never had to wait for my appointment. The staff is always very friendly and very accommodating (also totally fine with bringing in food, drinks, etc).
The thing I like the most is that I can come in on my lunch break and get a great mani/​pedi in less than one hour, which is awesome!
Parking can be difficult as there are only like 3 spaces in front and about 4 in back (which are also shared by other businesses); there is also metered street parking, but during the day, forget about it!
Haven’t had a bad experience yet, so I would definitely recommend this place to others!

I do not think this place is very clean nor sanitary.
$ 33 for mani-​spa pedi.
Most of the tools come in the sterilization pack. But who knows about the buffing squares, callus scrubber (which was not disposable), and Emory boards. Also, after each foot bath, the techs give each tub a quick few strokes with a scrub brush and then rinse. So much for a thorough cleaning.
The place is cluttered with plugs, magazines, towels, water bottles, just a mess.
Maybe because I’m not a regular, or maybe because I’m Asian (so they assume I’m cheap), I did not feel very welcomed in this place. After my mani, nobody came to check on me to see if my nails were dry. I could’ve used a little help getting my phone and wallet out of my purse. My tech (the older guy) disappeared after he was done. He also pushed too hard when cleaning up my cuticles, I ended up bleeding on some fingers, making the rest of my mani painful from alcohol and polish burn.
I will not be coming back: dirty place, unattentive service. Now I’m worried about potential infections and fungal growth. I should always get a disposable foot soak, never the spa chair again.

My first mani-​pedi since moving to LA (my third in life), and it was quite decent. Might have been a three-​star experience overall, except that we were running late (four of us) they were closing at 6:00pm, and they took us at 6:01pm sharp with zero attitude, though we were there until 6:50pm.
One toe took a nick, bled a little. But I suppose it can happen to anyone. Everything looks good. It’s a block away so I’ll be back; though admittedly there are weekday specials that are a bit cheaper elsewhere, so I may have to try those out as well.
Nice people, great location, reasonably priced, definitely a cool place.
