I have gone to LA Nails for over 20 years. Never had a bad experience. I will not go anywhere else to get my hands and toes done.

I had a great experience here. Nice service and my nail polish lasted for very long time

Moved to Heights area recently and decided to try it as it is two blocks from my place. The establishment is outdated. Had first appt of morning schedule & was made to wait 20 min until they got their bearings. For hands I received a white tip full set for the first time in 4 yrs and the girl argued with me relentlessly about my length selection. She insisted on very long, square, pole-​dancer type nails. Quickly irritated when I told her at end of session they were too long for my preference still. For pedicure a separate technician cut skin on side of big toe twice and again this one also scoffed at my indication of the pain & blood.
Waited 30 full min after and the toe polish still came off upon having my flip flops placed. 2 hrs later Left unhappy but told them I’d return for a fix when I had more time. 4 of my enhancements fell off my nails only one day after! Completely off the nail. Called and scheduled appt for fix. While the nails were replaced, cut down to my initial preference, I was charged a portion of original price to have them fix THEIR mistakes and poor quality of work. All while the ladies were aggressive & pissed that I actually had the gall to return and ask for a correction of their menial work. Certainly nonstop speaking Viet… the whole time. So rude. Horrible service. Nasty work. Not returning EVER.

OK, so after the kitchen light problem (see previous review), I needed to de-​stress. Fast. So, like any masculine guy… I got a pedicure.
Short version: A nice, clean neighborhood salon with VERY friendly ladies, reasonable prices and lots of parking available. They will also accommodate you if you show up within 30 minutes of closing.
Long version: I got there the other evening, hoping to soak my feet and be pampered. All the pedicure chairs were taken, but the lady at the manicure desk smiled and said: «Go ahead and sit — we get to you soon.»
And they did — within 20 minutes or so. Since they didn’t have more than five ladies working (which included six pedicures, four manicures and a wax job for some big woman in the back), that was pretty speedy. Wow.
Once in the big comfy massage chair, I let the lady work her magic. Ah…
Her technique was good. The only gripe I have — hence the 4-​star rating — was that there was no soap in the tub. Just plain warm water. Oh, well. Can’t win them all.
BUT, it was terrific. Not only did she do the usual trim, cuticle removal and buff, but her exfoliation procedure was awesome. She also did some reflexology and pressure-​point therapy on my size 10s, which for some reason cleared up my sinuses. Go figure!
Price was only $ 25 for a 45-​minute pedicure. WOW. I’m a fan.
When I paid, the lady was most gracious: «Thanks so much. You come back now, okay? We like to see you again!»
Nice. Very nice. You can bet I’ll be back in a few weeks! ;-)

Love this place! All of ladies here are so sweet and I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a chair. They do a nice-​looking pedicure and manicure, and have a ton of gel/​shellac colors. The place is clean, spacious and doesn’t overpower you with the smell of chemicals when you walk in. Great local spot for a quick mani/​pedi/​brow wax.

Two weeks ago I had a full set of acrylic nails put on at La Art Nails. The shop was clean and friendly. You could tell that many clients are regulars. I am hard on my nails and tend to have issues with lifting. Two weeks later and my nails have held up beautifully. My tech was gentle, efficient, and clearly cared about doing a good job. I am heading back today for a fill and will try to update the review with the tech name.

A friend recommended this reasonable and good for a quick pedi. It is not. It was painful and uncomfortable. As she cut my cuticles, she consistently pulled too hard and it stung, and she cut so deep on the skin on the side of my pinkie toe and I literally Unilocaled (pun intended). She scrubbed so hard on the salt scrub on my legs that I thought she was going to take off a layer of skin, and I had to ask her to stop. The leg massage was also worthless (just rubbing watery lotion around my legs). To make matters worse, she pull the polish on so thick, that 5 hours later when I got in bed, it was still wet and I got sheet marks. I can say the place was clean, but the manicurist also cleaned the foot tub in WHILE doing my toes.
