La Nail Spa

Absolutely love this place. Best nail spa in uptown, friendly staff and they do a very good job.

Thao did a fabulous job, tina just had her baby and I was nervous to switch ladies. My gel mani was great, went on a thursday so there wasn’t a discount but it wasn’t packed either and she took her time. It wasn’t too thick and this is one of the few salons that my mani lasts through a few tough nurse weeks, or atleast till my next visit

This pains me so much to write; I love this place but yesterday, whewwww, was not good. I have been here literally 20 times and yesterday was my first bad experience, so minus a star.
My lady (Tran) was back from maternity leave (!!!) and did my nails spectacularly. I mean, the shape was perfect. She picked out a better color for me. It was amazing and exactly what I wanted. My other lady (Tina) was busy with another customer so whatever, I let someone new do my nails, such a mistake. Andrew (the owner) was so rough with my feet, I walked out in pain from over grooming of my cuticles. It was such an unpleasant feeling from him still running the store and not paying attention to the job (you know like greeting incoming customers; answering phones; checking in with everyone) to him handing me off to someone else when he realized he messed up.
The lady who fixed my feet did so wonderfully, but there was no acknowledgement of the mistakes made by him and my toes are so raw.
I will still continue to come back, but will just make sure Tina and Tran do my nails. And I will wait!
PS: if you are coming in after work, make an appointment

I am new to Dallas and I was looking for a place near where I’m staying so I found this salon on Unilocal and gave it a try.
To be honest I could’ve done a better job by myself without spending so much money. I had a gel pedi and a normal mani for $ 67.
The people were nice and all the massaging and creams felt amazing to be honest, that’s what saves them from getting a terrible review.
I will definitely not come back here.
Pros:
When I arrived they offered me a drink.
Massage on my feet, legs, hands, arms, upper back and neck were amazing.
The tools used were new and clean.
Cons:
The manicure was done superficially
my cuticles look exactly as they did when i walked in.
Didn’t shape my nails with a file or trimmed the sides.

I love this place. They really take their time and work hard to make sure that you are being well taken care of. If you go Monday-​Wednesday they do $ 5 off gel manicures. They are very reasonably priced as well.

Very friendly, nice and relaxing atmosphere. I went in on a Wednesday afternoon. The ladies chat nice and quietly. They offered me water or wine. Will definitely come back I didn’t feel like they rushed me at all. I had booked an appointment, so didn’t need to wait. But they do accept walk-​ins. All the equipment and tools were clean and they used new nail files on me.

This place is amazing. I recently moved away from here and decided to venture to a closer place. Worse decision ever. LA nail spa is worth a hour drive! They are amazing, I usually have this girl TINA do my nails. She is AWESOME!!! She takes her time, she has never cut me, she always does my nails to perfection. I always thought it was crazy to here ppl drive over 30mins for nail spa. But now im jumping on that wagon. Anywhere I try all I can think about is «Why aren’t you tina?» … my friend introduced me here and she says all there workers are awesome. I don’t know cause Tina always does mine. But that’s the other thing I love, they understand customer needs and wants. They make u feel at home and give you the drink or water you need…

Came here after Gloss nails was a thirty minute wait with 4 people in there and this place looked slammed but I got seated immediately. They were so friendly, gave me free wine, and took their time on a massage. $ 40 for pedicure and eyebrow wax that they did during my massage so I was relaxed!

The employees here were super friendly and accommodating. They kept apologizing that they were super busy on Easter weekend even though they did a fantastic job of managing the rush. :)

I recently moved to this area and have struggled to replace my favorite nail salon. I found one that was fancy but the gel manicure was subpar to say the least and needed replacement much earlier than usual. I just can’t justify driving 30 minutes bak to my old place. Like many Unilocalers, I looked at the reviews for help.
LA Nails had many great reviews so I took a chance tonight. They were very welcoming from the start and got me right in even though they were getting very close to closing time. Everyone checked on my comfort level with the massage pressure, water temperature, etc… no complaints there.
Tran did my manicure and it looks like the gel color is growing right out of my own nailbed, like it was meant to be there all along. There was no color stuck on my skin either. Amazing job! Tony did my pedicure and gave the best massage; I almost fell asleep. The owner came by to check on my satisfaction and reminded me of their special during the week. It was also a little cheaper than my old place. That’s always a surprise. I am so glad I found this place!!!

When you are traveling into town, and select businesses based on Unilocal reviews, you hardly ever go wrong. In this particular case, I did! And it bothered me so much, I finally made the leap and JOINED Unilocal specifically to post this review. (I will need to post reviews from now on… Good and bad)
Back on topic, the folks at La Nail Salon refused to provide service at 515pm on Super Bowl Sunday (they allegedly closed at 6pm) as they had decided to close early «for the super bowl!» They saw me get out of an airport taxi, with my luggage and even heard me explain that I had come as quickly as I could from the airport, after flying all day. Needless to say, I was crushed! Not only did I have a weeklong business meeting in Dallas and unkept nails, but now I was also stranded at the salon without a taxi and with my luggage!
The nails were not done, and so I give this place a 1, because I cannot give it negative stars.
As for me, I walked with my luggage to nearby Nailicious, where walk-​ins really ARE welcome, and they stay open when customers are willing to pay!

Love this place they do such a good paint job and give 10% off gel m-​w. They take their time and you get a massage with a gel manicure! Also, free wine… Who doesn’t like free wine?

Seriously, best pedicure in the area! The manager makes sure your glass (wine, or coke) isn’t empty, and they take more time doing your pedicure than any other place in oaklawn!
Thinking of another place? I’ve lived in the area for 10+ years. This place is honestly the best.

This was my very favorite place to get a manicure/​pedicure in Dallas. Now that I’ve moved to HEB, although there are plenty of nail places in my area, I still trek to Dallas for special occasions because I know they will do a great job. I have super-​short nails (don’t judge) and this is the only place I have found that can paint a cute little french manicure without commenting on how difficult it is or giving up halfway through and making me switch to solid, both of which have happened at other salons. The owner is really friendly, and somehow always remembers everyone that comes in, even if it has been months since they’ve seen you last.
During the first part of the week (I think I remember it being M-​W) you get 15% off services.
It can get pretty busy– call ahead!

This is by far the best nail salon in Dallas. The service is amazing. Andrew the owner is so sweet and always makes sure everyone leaves happy. They give incredible massages and use hot stones!!! I come regularly for gel manicures, spa pedicures and eyebrow waxing. I’ll never go anywhere else! Trust a local Dallas native, this is the best place for nails.

Ok so I’ve been coming here for the past 4 years. That’s right. And the reason is that this place «was» the friendliest, professional, skilled and a great place to relax and get your nails done. Over the past year, afraid to say it has gone down hill. The owner truly must be going thru something because he is no longer the happy go lucky guy that used to make this place so enjoyable.
I’ve stopped coming regularly because quite honestly, I got tired of hearing him fight with customers. The past three times I went, he would get so mad at a not so happy customer that he would make everybody feel very uncomfortable. Including his staff. Now the customers were not very helpful either, however, regardless of that, this is your place of business, so act like a professional owner and handle it in a manner that does not involve you getting in a yelling match. The place is very small, so the atmosphere can be affected by the smallest change. Now the rest of the staff is very friendly and truly skilled. Not once have I had a bad experience with any of them.
Today I went for my mani and pedi and yes I made an appointment, well the owner was the only one available and he did my pedi. I asked for French and he just made an awful mess of it. I wanted to say something once I noticed the poor job he did, but I was afraid to. I know from the past experiences mentioned above that he can loose his temper easily so I let it go and paid for a poor French pedi. The lines are crooked and my big toe looks lop sided.
It’s a true shame that I won’t be going there anymore, and I’m noticing that more loyal customers are noticing the same. I’m posting a picture of the pedi.

Best Nail salon in the area. I go to Lily & Andrew every 2 weeks and have been for 5 years since they opened.
Highly recommend!

Guy friendly (what guy wouldn’t like being the only one in the place?!), good value, TVs, and free wine while you’re getting your service. Why I don’t come here more often is beyond me!
The same peeps every time. They all do a swell job.
Not a ton of English spoken here. Reminds me of that one Seinfeld episode…

This place is one of the better salons in Dallas uptown area. I had the mani-​pedi combo (gel on my fingers) and it was awesome that Mon-​Wed is 15% off, though they aren’t the only salon that does this.
The technicians were very attentive and did a great job on my nails. I can tell they will last a while.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the technicians talk a lot to each other and being that it’s a small place it makes it harder to relax.
Overall a great experience though. I will definitely be going back!

As any nail salon loving Texan knows, finding a great nail salon is a timely and expensive task. But when you find the right spots, you hold on like there’s no letting go. I’m glad to say that LA Nail Spa is one of those places. And it’s not a secret! I’ve been to this spot a handful of times and it was packed each and every time.
Why? Well, after being greeted they offer up the good stuff: wine! Yeah, I’m a sucker for a drink while getting a pedi. Whenever you get your service (which COULD take a while but they’ll give you an estimate right up front), talk it up with your nail tech. That means more wine and more awesome service.
There’s a few male nail techs at this place and they’re awesome. I actually prefer going with them because their massages are out of this world. And there’s always been fellas getting pedicures too when I’ve gone — even bought my boyfriend along once and he was in pure heaven.
For $ 29, you really can’t beat the service and skill these people provide. Try to make an appointment and arrive early because parking is minimal. But these small gripes are worth going through for having a great nail experience.
