CN Nails & Spa

Place is cool. The people are so sweet. But their technique and skills in designs are a little less than average.

The establishment is very clean. They were cleaning as I walked in. Came in on a Monday around 4. Pretty weak color selection but Nora is so sweet! She helped me pick a color that matched my nails (I already had them done and needed a pedicure). She took her time and paid much attention to detail. She also engaged in light but sweet conversation. The reason I gave 3 stars is due to the color selection & the ceiling is covered in plastic. Seems as though there was water leakage or something. The quality is really nice work though. I’ll be back!

This is the only nail salon I’ve gone back to and I’ve been to more than a handful. I always get my acrylics done by Nora’s husband (I never get his name but he’s recognizes me) and he’s done the best job I’ve ever experienced. Nora is also super sweet.
The place itself is a fixer upper but I go for my nails, not to get pampered.
This will probably be my go to spot from now on~

Visited CN nails based on the positive Unilocal reviews regarding the nail tech work, and affordable rates.
I walked in for a fill on a Monday, and had absolutely no wait. I brought my own polish and was very pleased by the work the male tech delivered. He was quiet but payed close attention to detail. I’ll be returning for my fills from here on out.
The place is literally a hole in the wall across the street from El Camino College, which is good and affordable for a student. It’s a little dusty and could use some revamping but I’m not judging that because my nails out clean!

Loved the service came in on a Friday morning no appointment and they took me for a fill and a nail repair!

Was in need of emergency mani, pedi & eyebrows. This was my first time searching for a place in the area. My first 3 stops at other shops were busts: first place wasn’t open and the last two place was cash only. Saw this shop and took my chance. Saw the Visa /​Mastercard stickers on the door and decided to go in — glad I did. I was greeted right away and waited less than 5 minutes. They did a great job! My hands and toes looked good, but my eye brows came out amazing. She was able to give me what I asked for. I knew they were gonna come out great, since she was taking her time. I am definitely going to come back to this place!

By far thee best nail salon I’ve been too. They’re very kind and are very careful with what they do. The guy who did my pedicure would constantly check up on me to make sure I was okay. It was only him and his wife but he was in no rush what so ever to get me up and out of there. His wife is very artistic when it comes to doing nail designs. That lady has some mad skills. Very pleased with today’s visit and will most definitely come here a lot more often.

I came here the other day to get a mani pedi last min. My mani was kinda rushed but then again I did come in last min. My pedi came out perfect Nora took her time. I read the reviews on the lashes here so I decided why not? I was very pleased with how my lashes came out and they looked so long and natural. The couple were both nice I will be coming back here.

This is my spot! I have tried out different spots for my pedicures and none of them compare to CN Nails. My pedicures last over two weeks and when I go to other places the nail polish ends up chipping! Nora and her husband are great! I definitely recommend this location.

I wish I could give a really good review because the couple who work there are actually nice people. I came here because they open up earlier than most locations and I had a long list of errands to run so this was my first stop. I got there and it’s really like a hole in the wall place. Everything is just dusty, like I wanted to clean the place for them it was so dusty. Two out of the three pedicure chairs are broken. The ceiling needs to be repaired. Even the UV light for gel nails seems to be broken. I was actually ok with the job they did until not more than a week later my paint was chipping and I need a fill already. So even though their pricing is good, it doesn’t really last long. I wanted to go back and give them another shot because it’s actually close to my office but I think I will be looking for another nail place. There is only 2 people who work there, a husband and wife, so if it gets busy your wait time will be long. They need some maintenance and one more person working there and I think they would be a much better business.

i came to this place today for the first time
i found this nail shop here on Unilocal i read all the excellent comments that the people left. so i decided to give it a try. i went inside the shop and there was a couple working i got a full set and pedicure i loved how my nails came out & my pedicure was great as well only thing i didnt like was that i asked to see the gel colors and they had very few colors to choose from also the place was not to clean only one of there spa chairs was working they had people waiting for a quite while. sorry but i wont be coming back to this place anymore

First time getting lash extensions and I’m very pleased with the result. Nora is very cheerful and nice. She walks you through the whole process and explains how to care for them so they last longer. Will definitely be coming back.

So i walked into this place based on reviews from Unilocal and i was not disappointed. The first time i went, i went with my sister. She got a pedicure and full set of nails with regular polish. I had my nails re shaped and polished with some rhinestones. We paid a total of 60 dollars for both us of which was great. The second time i went, i got a fill, a cut down, a polish change, a pedicure and designs on my big toes for less than 40 dollars. It seems to me the husbands strength is in acrylics. He did them exactly the way i wanted which was a short almond shaped nail. The wifes strength is definately in designs and polish. Let him do your nails, but request that she polish them and do whatever design you want. He always seems in a hurry to go back to watching his shows but hes fast and efficient which i dont mind. Less one star for cleanliness. If youre a clean freak you def want to stay out of here. Its best if you make an appointment since its just the two of them but both times ive gone there was no one else there.

I absolutely loved this place!
I’m new to California, just moved here from Jersey & I had been on the hunt to find a new nail salon. After many trial & errors at different nail salons I stumbled upon this place & I have nothing but positive things to say about them!
It’s run by a couple who are both very friendly people. I came in for a full set & they took care of me right away. I was there for about 30 – 40 mins & I couldn’t have left any happier.
If you’re a student at El Camino & you’re on a budget, which every student I know is definitely on a budget lol, this is a great place to get your nails done for a great price. It’s right across the street from El Camino.
Thank you so much Nora, I love my nails & I enjoyed chatting with you, you were so sweet! See you soon!

I went here on a whim because I needed a pedicure asap and I go to El Camino so it was convinient. Like the other reviews, the place is not aesthetically pleasing but I didn’t mind. I got a gel pedicure and loved the work done by the wife (I’m assuming thats her). She was very attentive, did a great job and I left happy. I paid $ 28 which I felt was a little high for this location but they did a good job either way. I suggest calling ahead as there is only 2 people working. When I went in on a Tuesday morning, they both were already working on 2 others. They could be more sanitary but nothing that a good health inspection can’t fix. They have a lot of potential.

Im glad i found this place on Unilocal.It’s close to my job which is convenient and there open early which is the best part. Came here and got a mani pedi, it was a man and a woman, they both did a great job. Ill be back

Great work at a super cheap price!
Yes, the salon is not very aesthetically pleasing when you walk inside. But if you’re on a budget and you need a nice manicure this is the place to go.
I walked in for a pedicure on a Friday afternoon and only waited about 5 mins. He didn’t really say much or ask any questions which I didn’t mind. Sometimes I like quiet while I sit in the spa chair. He was really quick and did a really nice job on my toes! I was impressed.
I asked if they could wax my brows and Nora helped me with that while I was in the spa chair. She did a great job and was really sweet and kind. :-)
The next day I ran into something and chipped the polish on my big toe. I went in to have them re-​polish it and without me telling him he fixed another nail that was smudged. That’s customer service! He said it was no charge but I tipped him $ 2. Will definitely be back again!

This review is based on the work of Nora and her husband not regarding cleanliness of the shop etc…
I’m walk out happy with the way my nails turn out whenever I come here, the pricing is really reasonable and Nora is really good with designs. This place is open a little later than a lot of nail salons which makes it convenient for me to go after work during the week.

Just moved from the east coast and needed a fill badly but had no idea who to trust. I’m very particular about my nails and was dreading the botch job that inevitably comes during the search for the right nail salon.
After reading the reviews on Unilocal I decided to have my first west coast nail experience be here.
Couldn’t have been more pleased! I was in love with the previous paint job done on my nails back east and wanted it replicated here. They were so accommodating — the young woman even painting several swatches on her own nails to try and match what I had come in with.
After much experimenting and brainstorming we discovered the perfect combination of polishes and my nails look fantastic. This is officially my go-​to nail salon in Cali.
I couldn’t care less about about whether or not the décor is dated. My concern are customer service and quality of work which this place has an abundance of.
Fantastic people and flawless work!

I really like this place. It looks like crap. But when I tell you they do excellent manicures. They take off all dead skin. Their not afraid to do a manicure. The pedicure the same way. The foot massage puts you in the mood of being at a spa getting a massage.
The husband and wife team are very personable. The husband did great and my preference is a woman. I will try the wife next. I think I may found a new shop.
Nora the wife so energetic she just hop over to my chair and gave me a very unique design for waiting.
