Red Persimmon Nails & Spa

Been there Couple of times and this last experience was horrible. I went in for acrylic set on my toes always was $ 18. So today I got charge $ 25 me thinking maybe the price went up. (Np) after I left just out of curiosity I called to ask how much was my job I had done THE owner said $ 18 plus $ 10 if u want gel color. I most definitely did complain about the situation the man didn’t know what to say and he had someone else take the call. I liked there job no doubt about that, but very unprofessional

I’m not sure why there are so many negative comments when this is one of the best nail shops I’ve ever been to. I had a shop I would go to religiously, but that changed when MIMI did my nails. I go to her every 2 to 3 weeks depending wether or not I do gel. She’s totally fabulous and so friendly! For toes I recommend Brenda she’s the sweetest. As far as designs MIMI and BRENDA are the best. As far as service I recommend this place. Especially for those who are picky, because I’m extremely picky and they’ve managed to meet my expectations. Johnny is an absolute sweetheart as well and knows how to keep the customers happy. Must go to shop!!! Don’t let a few negative comments discourage you. Thank you MIMI & BRENDA!!!
P. S. for brows I believe it’s Johnny’s wife who does them the best!!! Not sure what her name it, but ask MIMI and she’ll know.
Thank @THEREDPERSIMMON

I went yesterday and Brenda did a full set on my nails. Came out really beautiful, she really took her time while doing my nails. I really loved that about her!

Unilocal should really have zero stars available especially for this nail salon.
I came in with my niece for a pedicure and manicure. Right away I noticed this was a cash only place and I did see there ATM so I figured I could just take out money after wards. They told us to pick a color, and the color selection is horrible. For a nail salon you expect racks of colors but there is only a few to choose from, I have a better selection at home. After we finally chose a color they started with my niece first and her pedicure was not even called a real pedicure. She didn’t even bother soaking her feet in water until it was mentioned. They started my manicure and pedicure at the same time, the lady that was doing my manicure was in such a rush and kept pushing for a gel/​color. I just wanted a manicure and a clear polish. She was clearly upset I didn’t get a gel manicure. She started to file/​cut my nails and they ended up looking uneven and crooked. The filing was such a horrible job my nails feel so uneven. She also made 3 of my fingers bleed when cutting my cuticles. She then blamed my skin for bleeding and said she couldn’t get my cuticles. Now I have uneven ugly filed nails and ugly cuticles. I will never be going back to this place.

I was very unhappy with my current nail technician who I have been going to for several years so I came here it was double the price and not much better before my nail was dry they said I’m turning off the lights if your nails get messed up come back tomorrow and threw me out not coming black and of course they messed up rushed job

I love coming here Mimi does great nail designs the owner’s wife does a great job waxing. Very clean and professional.

I just started working in the area and Anna is my girl here! She is amazingly friendly and does great work! If you are looking for someone, look no further. I’m beyond surprised at some of the reviews here. I’ve been here a few times and each time is better than the last! THANKS ANNA!

Terrible. I came in last Friday, got a full set and pedicure. I did come at least 15mins prior to them closing but I would think I’d get a decent service. Not only did several nails break, but my polish was messed up due to them rushing me to get them dry in which they weren’t. I’ve only been in here 2 twice and no more from here on out.

Unilocal should really have the option for ‘zero stars’.
That being said, this place is the worst when it comes to sanitation, customer service, and overall results. This is probably my 3^rd visit here, and they usually do a good job. I went in today for a gel manicure and basic pedicure. Let’s start with the pedicure, there was no wait time, the lady already had the water running when I go to sit. I go to put my feet in and the water is burning hot, I tell her to add cold and she does. When it comes time to trim one toe nail, she clips the skin on the one next to it. And she tells me «It’s ok, no bleeding.» I promptly tell her blood or not that it hurt. While she’s finishing trimming the other toes, it starts to bleed, a lot. I’m tense because now I fear for the rest of my toes. So she gives me a half-​assed pedicure since now I can’t tolerate the water or anything else she’s supposed to do on my feet. Still charged me full price even though my feet where in the water for like 3 min. In total she spent 15 minutes on my feet. When she was done with my feet she rinsed all her tools in the pedi tub and then went to do someone’s manicure. No type of disinfection after doing my feet and now someone is getting their hands done… SMH
Now my gel mani. I had a previous gel manicure so she had to do the soak off to remove it. She did the whole buff it off thing and then soaked my nails in a little dish with acetone. That was all cool. But after, she poured the acetone BACK into the container for reusing with other people. Really??? After my nails have been soaking in it, that’s just gross. When she was done with the whole gel manicure process and it came time for the «massage», she put some light purple lotion and once it was rubbed in, it left my skin feeling like I had soaked it in bleach. Just very dry. My cuticles are white and ashy looking. If you squint and look at my manicure, it looks good lol. The polish is bumpy and uneven.
So now I’m left wondering if I will catch some kind of infection or fungus thanks to this cut on my toe. Excuse me while I go rub something on my dry hands. Next time I’ll make sure to spread my toes wide to avoid getting nicked I guess. Maybe I should just DIY my mani/​pedi.
Oh and the lady doing my gel mani stopped halfway through to take video of everyone in the shop to post on her Facebook or Snapchat or something.

So I came here on my lunch break today and needed a fill. A man, not sure his name started my nailed. I asked for them to be thin, cut down and shaped square-​ish round… natural. He then began to shape them way too square. When I informed him that they were too square he gave me the biggest attitude and told me that I told him that they were ok. Then he said «you don’t want me to do them???» Got up and shouted something in his language. Left me sitting there like I’m the asshole! A very sweet girl by the name of Mimi finished my nails… Better then that other guy ever could have because she listened to my request and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you Mimi for turning this disaster into a much better experience. Unfortunately I will not be returning. I didn’t deserve that kind of treatment, especially when there’s a nail shop on every corner in LA. I gave 2 stars because Mimi was such a sweetheart.

Love this place! Simply amazing! Check out my pics! Request Hanna who does great toes or Mimi who does great nails and designs!

I really like the location of this place and the fact it’s comfortable and all. But, IF I return, I gotta find someone else to do my pedicure. The worker and I had some miscommunication (language barrier). And another worker had to come over and fix it. But the staff is nice and service is speedy.

Very clean. and modern.I went into the establishment, and the man that greets you, is very kind. I ws given to a woman who was seemingly a kind person. she began being an efficient nail artist till her phone rang, and her friend came over. I am an avid nail salon goer. She proceeds to tell me that french looks ugly on my feet. after painfully deepsea diving for in grown toenails. I cringed in pain. She tedlls me I need to have surgery. I’m a cosmo professional as well, and it was just operator error. as a professional, I think she should not have proceeded, with the amount of pain insued… I also got a mani. and the artist showed me pics of art that she could
nail art was amateur and looked nothing like the pic. I paid for the service, but wd never refer this place.

If I could give 0 I would!
Came in for gel manicure, reg pedicure for both me and my daughter!
My daughter wanted french tip with red and got white french tip on her toes. I was pleased with how hers looked but it lasted only a few days. POOR QUALITY!
I got a gel manicure, red for new years. And French tip toes with a design. The toes came out nice but the design was ugly. But we were in a rush. No nice massage before they painted for my feet or hands, only after and just on my legs, the lotion was freezing! ! And it was a quick one 2 your done! The gel manicure looked awful!!! Extremely poor quality, to top it off it was done by using a dirty pillow for me to put my hands on. NASTY! PLUS THEIR TOOLS LOOK DIRTY! I WILL NOT BE BACK! Big mistake coming here instead of my regular spot, a little far but way better service and quality and it’s cheaper!

They are amazingly creative. Very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this nail salon to anyone who wants a positive experience!!!

I love coming here! Mimi does a great job and doing the nails I show her I want! And Hanna is the only person I go to for my pedicures! I come usually every two weeks and they are always very friendly

I came in for a simple pedi and almond shaped nails with NO design, first they said that the almond shaped nails would be $ 21 then when «lion «was half way done with my nails he said «these big nails» we charge $ 25, I was fine with that… But come on he suddenly changed the price on me and my other friend! Anyways I got my $ 15 pedi witch I was also not so satisfied with and ended up paying $ 40 for some busted up nails that he didn’t even fill in correct! Everyone has there own experience, and my first time here was not good! Not worth those $ 25

Love this place, specially johnny and tina, mimi and sofia. Everything is excellent. Really great service and relaxing place. Really recommend this nail salon :)

Close to home, great price and Ken and Hannah are the best!!!

First who charges $ 15 for a manicure? My usual place does a combo spa pedicure/​manicure $ 25. secondly so many cheap polishes. A nary OPI in sight.
I was very annoyed at the fact they were cleaning where I got my pedicure while they were finishing my manicure. Since I was the only person in there it was unnecessary. Oh Red Persimmon, you used to be such a great place to go.
Never again!
