Euphoria Nails & Spa

This has been my eyebrow place for the last four years, service is always consistent and the lady does a great job. $ 12 gets you in and out in under 15 minutes. The place could definitely use an upgrade though and has changed names a few times within those four years (not sure why)

This place is NOT called Euphoria whatever. It’s supposedly named Long Beach Market Nails & Spa. My mom and I used to come here a lot but then all of our ladies left for some reason… and there was literally a whole new staff.
They do a good job and they are very clean, but they are also super slow, long wait times, very slow workmanship and very expensive. French gel mani is $ 30. Gel mani with a color is $ 27. And this is the real joke: $ 5 more for a regular mani or pedi if you want them to paint your nails with OPI. Already high prices and they discriminate with their polishes?!? Eh, it’s changed a lot, and not for the better.

I usually don’t write a review, but worst experience ever. I paid $ 89 for gel mani pedi and they didn’t do that good of a job cleaning up my cuticles, and even hurt my finger 3 times throughout the service. I left in a hurry and found out there were bubbles and random little dirty particles on my nail, and one of them was even shaped crookedly. I really wanted to give the place a shot because of the location and convenience, but it is by far the worst experience I have ever had. One of the ladies looked like she hated her job so much when she was working on my nails. I think that if it was cheaper I would just think never mind, but to pay $ 89 for a maximum $ 30 mani pedi is ridiculous. Also the nail polishes looked old and weren’t as many choices as other nail salons.

First and last time. They cut into my cuticles on my middle and ring finger… and that was just the beginning. Did a horrible nail polish job and although they tried to fix it… nothing was going to save a poor job to begin with. After the top coat was applied, I was asked to pay. I said I was going to wait for the nail polish to dry so the lady proceeded to sit down on the chair next to me until I paid! Unbelievable experience!

Came here in a pinch because my regular nail salon was packed! I will not be back… worst pedicure i’ve had!

Oh, dear. I don’t mind efforts to sell up to additional services, but I do object to paying a LOT of money for said services and finding the Royal Spa Pedicure resulted in an excruciatingly painful and cut and mangled big toe requiring days of pain, band-​aids and topical medication to fight the developing infection. That was Saturday. This is Thursday, and I’m still dealing with it! Not going back again.

This place isn’t bad, they offer a good selection of opi colors and gel colors. I went for gel nails and spa pedicure.
I got the pink glitter gel nails, I believe she forgot to paint my nail pink first than put the glitter on top. So my nails didn’t turn out the way it looks like on the sample. Its just glitter nails without the color base.
The pedicure wasn’t bad, they forgot to remind me that it was a massaging chair though…
I paid $ 18 for the, pedicure, $ 5 for callus removal, and they gave me a free sugar or salt scrub. And, I paid $ 25 for my gel which I’m not to satisfied with.
I’ll would only come back if my gel mani lasts for atleast two weeks. And this time make make they give me a base color. …

This is 1 out of 2 Salons in LB that I trust will do a good job every time that I go. I like consistency. It’s a task to find a person that can do a great gel manicure. Pedicure was thorough from start to finish.

I am originally from California and currently working in Boston. Let me just say, Boston does not compare to all the choices for beauty and food that I have in California. This isn’t me being a «California snob.» This is just fact.
What really upsets me is that in the four years I’ve been in Boston, I have yet to find a competent and quality waxer (Is that a word??). My main complaint is that I’ll drop good money all over this city hoping to find someone who can do a clean, thorough wax that lasts a long time, but NO LUCK. Each time, the hair grows back within a week, sometimes within a few days. It’s absolutely frustrating!
While some girls can tolerate this lack in quality of waxing, I am just getting more and more agitated. If the wax is hot and burning my lady bits, NO, it is NOT okay. So, don’t tell, «oh, it’s just a little bit warm.» YOU ARE POURING HOT WAX ON MY CROWN JEWELS. When I say «ouch,» that is not me being a baby! Also, NO, it is not normal for you to start seeing regrowth a few days after you’ve been waxed. That means the waxer was incompetent and did not pull the hair completely by the root. This is a problem I run into pretty much every time. I might as well have just taken a razor and shaved myself if it was going to grow back just as quickly! You also must pull the hair out in the opposite direction of growth, and you need to realize that not all your hair grows in the same dang direction!
So, enough of the complaints and to the real reason I came to write this review. In all my years of waxing, there have only been two women who have gotten it right (and both are in California). They took their time, and I came out baby smooth and STAYED that way for well over a month. One of the women works at this salon and her name is Lisa. I’d been stuck in long sleeves for most of winter and when I came out of hibernation, I came to Lisa for an underarm wax. She took her time to explain the process (even though this wasn’t my first wax rodeo) and then took her time applying the wax in sections according to hair growth. She explained that this was the way it had to be done so that it wouldn’t grow back. I remember kind of brushing off what she said, like «sure, sure, the hair won’t grow back for a long time… whatever you say lady…» She was absolutely meticulous and there was not one stray when I left. It was amazingly smooth. Now, the kicker… I did not see A SINGLE HAIR for two months. No joke. I swear on my mama’s life. I still can’t believe it. I didn’t even think that was possible. I don’t know what the hell she did, but she is only one of two women I will ever trust to wax me again. I just wish I were still living in California. Maybe she has a twin sister in Boston…
All I know is, when I come back to California in June for my friend’s wedding, I’ve already got an appointment lined up with Lisa. Gotta get fancy to lock down a stage five clinger at the wedding. ;)

I really wish I could write a better review, but after the last time I came here, I just was not happy with the service!
I am a gal, that gives many chances (well maybe sometimes a little too many) I get that everyone has off days, but just too many things happened over the course of 4 months that I’ve been going here!
Don’t get me wrong, I like some workers (the older lady’s are kind and gentle and actually make sure you are still alive sitting in that chair and the owner to a degree runs a tight ship and is on the friendly side even though he has limited English he still greets you and makes sure you are seated as soon as possible). And the salon is big with enough spa chairs to fill up the space, plenty of updated OPI colors too. Parking is well umm hmmm. Yeah it is the LB marketplaces if you have been to that shopping center you know how a weekend can be there!
Now what I’m about to tell you isn’t a slap in the face or even telling you NOT to go here take this a gentle warning the next time to decide to stop by:
I have been cut multiple times while getting my cuticles trimmed both on my hands and on feet. Only twice has anyone cared about if I was bleeding and actually put some of that green antiseptic solution on it. Other times they acted as if I was being a huge baby and instead continued to pick at the same sore finger.
Another time after a hand and arm massage, the girl went to get a hot towel to wipe my hands and arms. Except she didn’t air the towel out and instead placed it on my left hand pretty much giving me a mild 2^nd degree burn. I was so pissed that all I could say was take this towel off me now! She acted as if I was lying that the towel was too hot until she saw the red welts forming around my index finger and wrist then she went and got a cold bottle of water from the nearby fridge and rolled it around the burnt areas. She kept asking if I was ok and she was sorry then gave a lame excuses that she did not know the towel warmer was set so high. Because I made such a fuss some of the other workers came over to where I was sitting later to look at my burn talk amongst themselves then walk away. Now I totally know what a caged animal at a zoo feels like! When it was time to pay I asked if the manager or owner was there and of course both were not there, I was told not to tell the owner because he wasn’t nice to the workers.
Other times when I would come in for a manicure I would ask for a table instead of a spa chair, I would be waiting for 30minutes or more, there were plenty of other workers doing nothing and not one of them came over to start my manicure.
I am very disappointed that I had to write this review but I needed to let everyone know that their services have gone way downhill in the last couple of months.
You have been warned!

This place was bad on so many levels. I was completely disappointed with the lack of professionalism — as another reviewer also noted.
Also, beware — the gel colors on the displays are NOT what is actually available. Be sure the color you pick is available. I spent 10 minutes rifling through samples finding the perfect match for my toes, only to be told AFTER my toes were painted that they didn’t actually have all of the colors on display. When I said that the color they were trying to give me instead didn’t match, they argued with each other and with me. It was uncomfortable and not the relaxing experience I want when I go to a salon. Instead of just offering to repaint my toes to a color they could find a gel match for, they were rude. I left with just clear and will be paying elsewhere to get what I want done.
Lastly, I have 3 cuts in my cuticles from the manicure. I am all about fast service, but not at the expense of precision and care.
Lots of great places in the area — this is not one of them.

Great pedi worst mani ever…

Excellent service..

They do a very good job with the pedicures and I love their new chairs! I have also gotten the gel manicure here. Nothing spectular but nothing bad to report. I do like that they carry a nice selection of nail polish colors including OPI brand.
A little on the pricer side but you get what you pay for. I think they use better products than some places that are super cheap and in the ghetto.

What a disappointment.
This was my regular nail salon until recently. I’ve had nothing but good experiences here until a few weeks ago, I brought my friend here and we got our nails done to prep for a wedding we are both in this weekend. The employees did nothing but argue with each other the entire time and set a very unfriendly and unprofessional tone. I tried to talk to my manicurist Lucy who has serviced me in the past. She was irritable and gruff. She was abrasive when working on my nails and interacted with a general sense of annoyance when switching from hand to hand. All the while she kept talking to her coworkers with agitated mannerisms. I also requested for her to not cut my cuticles and she said «ok,» and nodded dismissively… A few minutes later, she proceeded to cut my cuticles and sliced my thumb. I reacted and then stated that I was upset given I had asked her not to cut my cuticles. She smiled and said «oh sorry sorry» dismissively. I told her I didn’t trust her with my hands. That definitely changed the tone. After this there were hushed voices around us. The women working on my friend began asking her about me as though I couldn’t hear them.
All together a very unpleasant experience. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I am sad to be saying I won’t return to this place but there are many other nail places in LB to try.

I have had it! I simply CANNOT find a good nail place in Long Beach. I have listened to Unilocalers, not listened to Unilocalers, asked people on Facebook, pleaded with friends and I still come up with NOTHING. I don’t WANT to drive to Hollywood to get my nails done, but LBC… YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.
Euphoria was not euphoric. The gal (Lori) who did my pedi was sweet, not overly chatty, nice massage, but my 3 year old niece could have done a better job on my toes. Not one of them is the same shape or length. I have cotton fibers in my polish and polish on my feet. But she was SPECTACULAR compared to the gal who did my gel nails. I don’t know her name because she was apparently upset with me after I declined the sugar scrub. She was acting angry my entire service, not speaking to me, walking off for god knows what, and again, my nails are uneven, jagged and look like crap. Oh, and she left HUGE globs of clear gel on my fingertips. what?
I guess I’m spoiled by the service I am used to getting at Pampered Hands (see my other reviews) and that is where I will continue to go. They always make sure my nails look fab, my feet are gorgeous and they don’t throw attitude – all in HALF THE TIME Euphoria took.

I am so torn. I had excellent service from Tracy on my spa pedicure and thought I found my new pedi place, but what I saw while my toes were drying is what may prevent me from coming back.
It’s $ 18 for a spa pedicure and I walked in without an appt at about 10:30am. I brought my own polish with me in case I couldn’t find a color I liked from their selection, but was able to find a neon red-​orange perfect for the summer by Essie. There were about 5 or 6 other ladies getting manis and pedis, but they were still able to accommodate me.
+:
–massage chair you control
–free cold water
–liners in the pedi chairs whirlpool tub thing
–no pushing of services. Tracy did ask if I wanted the callus remover, which I did want ($ 5) and she asked about the paraffin, which I asked how much, she said «it’s normally $ 7, but I can give it to you for $ 5, so total for your pedi $ 28,» so I said yes. I don’t get pedis often, so I figured why not treat myself. I liked that she didn’t push hard like some places do
–excellent massage! The entire pedi took 65 min and that didn’t include waiting on my polish to dry.
–Get job on my toes — she trimmed them nicely, no damage to my cuticles, polish on evenly and not all over my toes or cuticles
–flat screen TV
-:
–although I couldn’t see an autoclave from where I was sitting, I assumed based on what I read on
, that they were sanitized and that each person gets their own buffer, the yellow scrubber which she used on both my feet for the callus removal, was simply brushed clean and placed back on the tower for the next unsuspecting client! What if she used that on someone else who had foot fungus?!
–I may consider returning, but will bring my own tools

have gotten my nails done here 2x now. both times i left irritated. first time i went got a pedi and fill. $ 70 and 2 hrs later i was finally done. if u want a nail salon thats not going to rush to get you in and out deff recommend this place. was super relaxed when i was done but was over it after being there an hour already. did a good job on my nails just took way too long! 2^nd visit i was taking off my acrylic nails. the girl just took clippers and slowly clipped them away. painful yes and should have soaked them in acetone (which i mentioned to her). even had one of the nails shoot and hit me in the face! lucky didn’t hit my eye but was close. again was there for a lengthy amount of time. if I’m desperate i may go there but deff will go to my normal place from here on out… price is better and doesn’t take forever to get a service done.

Went back 2x since I was last there– once to fix a broken nail (FREE again!!)
and also to get a new set of gel nails– which was lovely and relaxing. Got a teal color gel nail put on. and it’s worthwhile that if you have a favorite color gel nail color to bring your own bottles because if you like it that much (I have 5 bottles– 2 for red to layer, 2 for gold to layer and one dark black cherry). because their color selection isn’t as wide as I would like but then again, if you are going for a regular manicure they have a slew of colors in OPI and top brands
Been back at least 3x since I wrote this and they are terrific. I really like the place. It’s pretty relaxing and I get my nails done well. Wish they had more colors and different brands but they will keep adding on.
