Hollywood Nails and Spa

This place is nice inside and they also have a bar inside. I didn’t know till I got there and I didn’t bring my id to get a drink. I don’t bring my wallet if I’m not paying. My mom paid for me and my sisters to get our nails and feet done. There was four people in my group and each of us got a mani pedi. Well I just got a pedicure because I don’t like wearing fake nail. Fake nails are just annoying to deal with. The four stars is because they took forever to do my manicure. My two sisters and my mom were attended to first (all attended to at same time) and I was the last one to get taken care of. maybe that’s because I only got a manicure but I don’t know for sure. I will still be back because this is the only good nail salon I know of.

TIP: There is parking in the back of the building. I kept circling the block, and didn’t realize the lot was for Hollywood.
I was at Hollywood Nails and Spa today, and I was totally blown away! I had a manicure/​pedicure. The milk, sugar scrub, honey, hot towles, and masq felt so relaxing. Every where I looked, there was something new to gaze at. My nails have never been so nice an shinny, WOW!
My technician was Tyson, and I found out he is the new owner. Hope they keep it up, because I can’t wait to come back.

The job done was AMATEUR and OVERPRICED!!’ I will never go again. They aren’t good. They had a brand new guy who didn’t file my toes well. The lady doing my nails left the product all over my hands. I didn’t not feel Hollywood at all

Never again and I am a regular here. Wanted gel nails for vacay. First girl needs glasses, didn’t paint sides of nails. Went with clean nails she did such bad job they removed gel and started again. However, they talked me out of gel, saying they could put on regular polish and it would stay. I said «stay for week for vacation??? Oh yeah, if I do them they will.» 2 hours of my life wasted. No gel. Coulda painted them myself at home and they would look better. I WANTED GEL FOR VACAY!!! 2 of 10 chipped within hour. 3 others just look like crap. They gave me $ 8 back and said you get them done in Vegas. I said thanks for wasting my time.

Was recommended this place by a girl who did my eyelashes. It looks fancy, in a nicer area of town, and seemed busy. Great. I was going on a three week vacation and wanted my nails done so I went there for a gel manicure, a regular pedicure and got my lip waxed. My lip broke out like nothing I had ever seen before and I’ve been an aesthetician for 12 years. My gel manicure has not even lasted a week, three fingers are already peeling off. The pedi was good, Polish job was crap. My total for such an experience was $ 100 plus tip. Fair to say I will never be going here nor recommending anyone to come here it’s a total rip off!

I actually enjoyed my mani/​pedi and when it came time to pay, they didn’t want to honor their 20% off deal that was posted on Unilocal.She said, oh no, that’s not the right location. Ummmm… The address is clearly posted. Bastards… I told them they lost a customer, they didn’t care and as you can see they don’t have too many good reviews as it is. Way to go with customer service!!! Won’t be back!!! Oh and don’t expect to use that 20% off… LOL

Beware of this place. Scam artists. They don’t honor their Unilocal 20% discount. They claim it’s not them and they didn’t put the discount on there. Stay far away from this place. It’s not worth it.

Treated myself to a deluxe mani and pedi today. Michelle was my technician and she took great care of me. The place is clean and the staff is professional. Plenty of parking in the back of the shop too. I will definitely be back.

I was very disappointed. I will not go again. My gel manicure is uneven, sloppy, just not right. My pedicure was weak. Spa pedicure was the worst I’ve had. She didn’t even try. She just wanted to leave. I showed up two hours before closing. I was jealous of the person sitting next to me. She got a good massage.

This place is AWFUL. Don’t do it. The prices are average but that’s because they don’t do a good job. I came in on a Friday after work to see that they weren’t that busy. I decided to get a standard pedicure and manicure. The girl working on my feet scrubbed my feet so hard that I started bleeding and the girl doing my hands made my thumbs bleed. I have never been cut soo many times during one nail session. After they finished… she gave me a bandaid and still charged me FULL PRICE. Never again

As with any business, there are reviewers that have good and bad experiences. I happen to be one of the lucky ones, because Johnny and Tammy make this place outstanding! Johnny is THE BEST with manicures and pedicures that require acrylic and/​or gel. He is the ONLY expert here when it comes to making your nails look perfect with acrylic/​gel. There are several others that are great with just a basic mani/​pedi if you aren’t into the other products. Tammy is your best bet with waxing and massage. Call to make your appointments. Johnny is so good that his schedule gets booked up fast. I usually call about 4 – 6 days out if I’m going on a trip. Remember to ask for a bottled water when you arrive, or you can order a glass of wine! If the TV’s are not on and there is something you would like to watch, ask them! They are very accommodating. I highly recommend if you are in the uptown, Turtle Creek, Oak Lawn or Highland Park areas!

BEWARE!
I’m sure you can see from the overall rating that this place is somewhere to avoid. But if you’re still wondering if maybe it’s OK, let me tell you about my experience. I’d gone here a few times and had fine results. Well, actually, I’d had «OK» results. Nothing special, and that’s really too bad because their service is kind of pricey.
On my last trip in, however, the woman who did my nails cut my big toe open while cleaning up my cuticles. I winced and asked her what happened, and she blew me off, threw some rubbing alcohol on it, and continued with my pedicure. I didn’t want to make a big deal about it (in a very full salon), so I went back to chatting with my friend. Oh boy, do I wish I would have just walked out. My toe got a really bad infection, to the point that I needed part of the nail removed and antibiotics to clear everything up. Needless to say, I haven’t been back since.

I liked it. Would’ve loved a good leg massage but I got the basic manicure. Johnny was good

amazing… loved it.

I’ve had a few good mani pedis here but stopped going when a technician I’d never had before gave me a bad gel manicure. It was uneven, in some places the paint didn’t reach my cuticle, in others it overlapped on cuticle. Worse, she seemed annoyed when I asked her to fix the areas that were obviously not right. And it started peeling within a few days while I was at a friend’s destination wedding.
I recommend the Hollywood Nails on Westchester (off of Northwest Hwy) for better quality nails and sincere staff.

This place was disgusting! By the time I realized just how dirty the floors were, it was too late! Fake nails all over he floor, dirty cotton swabs and a less than friendly demand for me to pay for myself and four guests before we were even finished. Lets not get me started on the quality of service… Let’s just say I’ve paid half as much for twice as good!!!
Never again!

Cannot beat the price (especially in the area) or customer service. My favorite thing is that they literally do everything, I can get my nails & lashes done, get a hair cut, get a massage, etc. all in one spot! Highly recommend: D

I’ve been to two of their locations now and won’t be back. I called and made an appointment yesterday and I am giving them two stars only because I did not have to wait and my pedicure was decent. No more than two for the following reasons:
The staff is so caught up in talking among themselves that service really takes a backseat. It was loud and noisy due to them talking across the salon. Rude.
I made the appointment for fills and a pedicure. I have pink and white on my nails. The technician asked me if I wanted my nails shorter, I answered yes a little. Then she asked something two or three times and I could not understand her. She said something about white, and I said yes. She filled in the back pink area and before I knew it was doing the white in Gel. No no no, I don’t have gel I have pink and whites. Can they not tell by looking?
Too expensive, Too loud, Too much of the wrong service. Won’t be back.

I need to chime in after reading so many negative reviews. I’ve been going here for several years and I like it. I can only speak from the pedicure experience. I keep coming back for multiple reasons: the massages they give are longer than other places and the paint lasts until my nails grow out. Yes, it depends on which Technician you have if you are offered a glass of wine, a neck/​shoulder massage, or a longer leg massage. My thought is, if you want it then ask for it. I did learn to tell them, after an experience, not to cut the cuticles and to push them back.
I prefer the upstairs because the chairs are more comfortable and it’s quieter.
Because they are large and, what seems overstaffed, you can walk in and get an appointment whenever you need. I ask for Vo or Lisa.
Someone mentioned parking was difficult. There’s a large lot behind the building that’s accessible from Bowser or the driveway right next to the building.
Yes, once a Technician said I should get a facial wax which made me feel as if I was hideous, but I realized it was an up-​sell. I wrote it off as a poor sales technique.

$ 18 for a manicure and the paint chips 2 days later? No thanks. Remind me to wait until I get back to LA to get a mani next time I’m in town. Where I can get a $ 10 mani that lasts 10 days thank you very much.
Fail. Epic fail.
