A Plus Nails

This is my SPOT for all things nails related. They are super friendly at this location and they always remember you! I think that I’ll keep coming here not only because the service is amazing, but because the pricing is good as well. I always tip because I’m always satisfied with the job that hey do. Also, I love the extra life they put in the massage! Yes! Go here for nails!

I love this place. Took me forever to find a place that does an excellent job. I love Vivian & Pauline. They do a really great job. Everyone there works really great.

Why is this place rated high? Small location, small amount of polish choices, the ladies are not that nice and the one time I did get my nails done here they were not done very well. I say save your money there are other shops that are cleaner and nicer.

Really liked Leyna who did my toenails. She didn’t rush, didn’t hurt me and then did a nice job on the polish and flowers.
The price was NOT inexpensive unlike the Unilocal listing. My pedicure was $ 35 plus $ 5 for the flowers.

Amazing! Lisa did my nails & she did a great job without me having to tell her anything. Highly recommended

The WORST manicure ever! My nails were cut to the quick and my fingers are so tender. Do they know what they are doing??? NO!!!

never coming here again. i just walked out with my mom. i took my mother to get her nails done for the first time i asked how long it would take she said a couple of minutes. i said ok may i please see your albums for design and color. she gave it to us. i had to ask her about ten time tho before she actually acknowledged me. then we literally just opened the book when she says ok shes ready and points at one of the workers who was barely cleaning her station. i said ok thank you. then continued to explain to my mother what gel was. the lady then yells at us to sit down! i said we will can you give us a sec the worker isn’t even back yet. so i told my mom have a seat and pick your style of choice. so she sits at the workstation. we waited for 15 minutes so i got up and asked her is she coming soon? she ignored me three times! so i asked one last time then she looked at me like she was dumbfounded. and said just go sit. so i grabbed my mother and left to come to imagination nail salon. wayyyyyyy better customer service and their ac actually works! oh and it doesnt smell.

Vivian is amazing love her been coming for years every time I show her a photo she does exactly what I want! Wouldn’t go anyplace else. Great service great prices great nails!

Horrible experience, I went in for a pedicure and left with a sore, red, swollen toe. After I complained about the pain the owner came to check on me and my lady said I came in swollen? ?? WTF? Why would you work on someone who is swollen? She lied and that pissed me off, they use all the same implements in every customer and don’t sanitize! I will never return not recommend anyone here.

Vivi is the best!!! I’ve been coming here for years!!! I can’t say enough good things. Everyone is good & helpful, but I just LOVE Vivi. Always makes her clients happy & goes the extra mile! More than 5 stars. :)

I usually don’t write reviews but I had to. A plus nails is a nail salon that was the closest to my previous house in Winnetka.
Since I moved, I must admit that I come back all the way there just to be treated by Natalie. She is the youngest among the staff but I assume that professionalism doesn’t only come from experience but from the heart. She is super gentle, talented, clean and communicative.
To any of you who are looking for a good Gel– Mani or Pedi, please call the Salon and schedule with Natalie. She is great.

I love this place!!! I went away for the whole summer and as soon as I walked in all the ladies greeted me as if I had been there a week before. I would recommend this place to everyone.

I hate to do this, especially because of how pleased I was with my first few visits but after maybe my 3^rd or 4^th visit, the quality of work and customer service just went down hill. Vivian did my acrylics and they looked beautiful, I received A LOT of compliments. But after my trip to get a fill I did not receive a single compliment, and for good reason, they looked hideous. Before I sat in her chair I showed her a photo of what I wanted and mentioned that if she couldn’t do it, that would be fine and I would choose to have the acrylics removed and get a gel manicure instead. She said it was cute and she could do it. After she shaped the acrylics, I told her they were very crooked and the shape did not look like it did last time, to which she replied that my fingers were crooked and that’s why they look like that. I became so angry I didn’t know how to respond without getting completely out of line myself, so I didn’t. I just thought she’d attempt to fix them. She didn’t. Then when it was time to do the design I showed her in the beginning, she said she couldn’t do it, that it would be too hard. Now, I’m even more upset, I showed her another photo of a design with a little bit of glitter, she said she could do that one and proceeded to dump glitter on the nails, and stated, «Look that’s so cute!». I did not reply. Mind you, she never fixed the misshapen, crooked nails I pointed out. Grrr.
Wait, it gets better. I left in such a fuss I forgot my keys (my fault not hers). I walked there because I live about a mile away. I arrived home and realized I didn’t have my keys. It was over 100 degrees that day and I had made a couple of stops on the way home at CVS and a taco restaurant. So I called Vivian because I wanted to make sure theyw ere there before I walked back. When I asked her to see if they were in one of the two chairs I sat in during my appointment there, she told me she was too busy and to come back and look. i explained my situation further; her reply was the same. Of course my keys were in one of the chairs I sat in. In fact they were in the chair at her station. The friend that referred me to Vivian saw my nails, had a good laugh and asked if I paid for them. I told her that I did. She said I shouldn’t have. My philosophy behind that is that if I perform less than average at work one day or make a few mistakes, my hourly pay isn’t docked so why should I be able to do that to someone else. Now I do have the right to tip less or more, or not at all. I still gave Vivian my standard $ 5.00 tip (I’m not sure why, I think I was just kind of shocked and unfocused). My friend went back to see Vivian and brought my dissatisfaction to her attention. That weekend I received a text message from Vivian apologizing and asking me to come in so that she could fix them. I was hesitant as I’d already made up my mind about not going back… free of charge or not. I was prompted by my boyfriend to give her a chance to redeem herself and accepted her offer. I explained to her that I had already cut off the majority of the acrylics and if she would instead remove what was left and do a regular gel manicure that I would come in (I paid for gel polish and a design on the acrylics anyway). She said okay. When I arrived for my appointment she was apologetic. She was chatty and polite like she always is. I was happy because her shop is so close to home, it really is very convenient for me to get my manis and pedis there plus I love Sue (she does my pedicures), so I wanted to remain a customer. I asked for a heart on my manicure. The gel polish could have used another coat and the hearts, well they don’t look great but I wouldn’t complain. I’m not paying this time so I felt awkward and I’m not really a complainer by nature. When she finished, she said, «I put two top coats to make it extra strong, that’s $ 22.00.». I asked he if she was serious. She listed the services she had provided and their prices, «nail removal, gel polish, design…». I explained to her that I paid for a fill with gel polish and a design last time and that I was under the impression that she was giving me a complimentary service because the services I received last time were given so poorly. She said, okay. $ 20″. My response to her was that if she truly felt I owed her money today then I would pay her but I also let her know that had that been made clear from the get go, I would not have come back. It really is a shame because she does a wonderful job on two other women I know personally who have been long-​time clients of Vivians’ and I really don’t know why the service level i’ve received has been so poor; I never tip poorly. I always tip at least 20% of the cost of services I receive anywhere I go, and at the nail shop it’s usually slightly more.

I work 5 mins away from here, lately i have been disappointed with my last salon that i have been going too .They have doing a horrible i mean horrible job with my gel manicure that would start chipping in a week or maybe even sooner !!! One of my gfs told me check A PLUS NAILS they do good work no matter who u go with .i am glad i did because i am in love with my natural nails manucure !! The whole salon is very friendly. vivian and liliana are two peas in a pod !! Glad i can look foward contiuning my buisness with them ! Thank u vivian

I’m no newbie to acrylics or this salon but it was my first getting acrylics here. I got almond shaped nails for the first time and literally it’s the bomb dot com! I keep getting so many compliments on them and they look a million times better than the picture I showed as a reference! I always had issues with getting acrylics but I I’m so happy with the set I got here!

Amazing! I love this place so much. I’ve been coming here for almost two years. Vivan is great! She is incredibly talented and always does the greatest designs. She is one of the sweetest people you’d ever care to meet, as well. The prices are more than fair. I recommend a plus nails to all my friends. I will never go anywhere else.

This is an ok place. I got a mani and pedi. Pedi women fixed me feet and they feel wonderful. Lisa did an ok job. Seemed rushed not the best mani I had. But was really relaxed. Felt welcomed by everyone. Nails and toes look amazing. But BIG tip they do charge to use credit card. They forgot to mention to me no buggy but just a head up. Also if your a big germ freak maybe you should pass. To me it’s didn’t seem so clean like at other places I have been to.

service sucks. I would not recommend to friends. they tried to charge me full pedicure price when I did not get my toes polished because I was tired of waiting. they stopped in between my pedicure to service someone else.
Who the f**k does that!!! piss poor customer service!!!

Awesome place, nathalie did a pretty good job totally recommended, very friendly girls.

Vivian is the God of Nails!
I was referred to A Plus nails by a friend whom has been seeing Vivian for awhile. I just moved back to the SFV from the Mid Wilshire area. Its been an adventure finding a decent nail place that does «duck feet» nails.
I called Vivian around 3pm on a friday night to ask if she was available and she said she was booked until 730pm. So, I came down a few minutes early so I could get my eyebrows waxed too (ouch!)
When it was finally my turn to in Viv’s chair, she made me feel important. I’m sure its something nail artists learn in nail school or something, I dont know. Anyhow, she worked very fast, but was also very meticulous with her brush, which I liked. I’ve never been a big fan of the pink and white acrylic, but she promised me that she would make them look good. And oh boy she did! At the end, she asked me if she could do a little Fall flower on my ring fingers. I agreed, reluctantly, but agreed nonetheless. Im very glad I did, because Its been almost 2 weeks and I still get compliments on how beautiful the flowers are and how clean my nails look.
She has a new client. I’ll only see Vivian. There is no need to go anywhere else!
