PAINTED by mocha

Just Had to share again. My daughter’s nails were absolutely beautiful for her 2016 Prom. I recommend for nails done right, this Black Owned nail salon.

Having the same nail tech for 7 years proved me wrong. I absolutely love this salon… wish I had found it sooner. The ladies are top notch, very professional ! Painted by Mocha is a jewel in L.A. that many more should know about. I have found my nail tech and I will stay with her… til she leaves me

I love this place! I’m very picky about my nails and decided to check out Painted by Mocha from a referral. Mocha did my fill and Ashley did my pedicure and they were both wonderful and very professional. It was nice to be in a nail salon where everyone is friendly and you can communicate easily with the technicians. They even offer you a mimosa while you get your service which was another nice treat. Make sure to get the signature Painted drink it’s really good. I will definitely be back soon and will be telling everyone I know to check them out.

I was skeptical because I’ve had the same nail technician for over 15 years. I have to say it was refreshing to thoroughly enjoy myself at this appointment. Upon arrival, my daughter and I were greeted with a very warm welcome, offered refreshments and helped us select our colors… very helpful for my very picky daughter.
I had a pedicure by Ayana… shout out to her! She did her thing! I’m super happy with my pedicure. My daughter had her fill by Ashley… and it was superb. She even offered my daughter hair tips while being serviced.
I was not pleased with my fill shape and polish by the first technician who serviced me. Mocha, the owner, is very in tune with her customers and business… she could tell I wasn’t pleased. Ashley noticed as well and would not let me leave until I was happy. I TRULY appreciated that extra bit of service.
I would recommend supporting this black business so she can expand her cute, clean shop and BLOW UP!!!
You doing it Mocha and I’m proud! Me and my daughter will definitely be back.

I just have one word for Painted by Mocha
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Customer service, vibes, quality products, feels like a family when you walk in, full service reasonable prices and complimentary mimosas. Again… Yaaaaaaaaaas

After several years at several different shops, I was finally determined to find and become a client of a Black Owned nail salon, As a mature/​senior (however you want to title it) individual, I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect as far as atmosphere at such an establishment and I’m happy to say my experience at Painted by Mocha was a pleasant one. The ladies were professional, cheerful (I look forward to a mimosa next time) and did an EXCELLENT job. Although she was a little behind schedule for my appointment, Mocha worked a small but significant miracle on my (nearly two months due) nails. I always bring my own colors but I love the color and design I agreed to upon her suggestion. I experienced a very relaxing and pain-​free pedicure courtesy of Ayana. I’m happy with my choice of this local black-​owned business and am looking forward to my next visit.
Painted by Mocha offers additional services such as Facials and EyeLash Application and Prom packages. I sincerely hope more people will discover this little gem.

Very nice staff. Helpful, patient, knowledgeable. There is true talent in this business and they take their craft very seriously. A wonderful place for mommy-​daughter days. I wish I had more opportunity to visit for the relaxing treatments.

I experienced the absolute best quality of service I have ever gotten my entire life knowing to have nails here. The quality of everything was Top of the Line great. This includes the quality of work, conversation, complimentary mimosas and the overall comforting experience. Mocha was very friendly and had a lot to offer in conversation. I initially wanted to take off an old set of nails and have them replaced with a full set. Instead she insisted that I wait a little longer for a full set only because she wouldn’t want to damage on my nail beds. I respected this recommendation very much. Instead of charging me for an unnecessary procedure, she repaired my current set of nails and made them look as good as new and even better than what I anticipated. I most definitely will be back to this salon because it is honestly the best quality nail salon I have ever been to in my entire life. Thank you so much Mocha!

This shop is so great! Mocha the owner did an excellent job on my nails. The shop is very modern looking. They offer you refreshments while you get your services, and they currently have their holiday cocktails for your enjoyment. The equipment is clean and new, and they have quality polishes like Yves Saint laurant, OPI, Essie, and China glaze. The owner gets new polishes every week to keep up with the latest collections. This shop is reasonably priced compared to other boutique nail salons.
Mocha is very nice and is a perfectionist! My nails have never been filed and shaped so well and gently. The shop is Black owned and feels so comfortable.
Painted by Mocha has a customer for life!

Just went here for the first time. The décor is very chic and modern, and incredibly comfortable. They have a great selection of high quality polishes (which is hard to find at a lot of salons). It is a welcoming environment, and I love that it is owned and operated by a fellow woman of color (have to support each other!). The owner Mocha did a great job on my manicure, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Drei hooked up my toes, and completed the luxurious experience. Her attention to detail was much appreciated, and the massage with the body butter was just what I needed!
I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who wants high quality service with a classy décor at a reasonable price and the bonus is that it supports local business!

I was there last Saturday for an after hours birthday party. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My pedicure was perfect! I also got white gel nail polish, Mocha herself did my gel manicure, my nails still look great. At my usual spot they charge me more and within 2 – 3 days my gel polish is already chipping. Not the case here… one week after service my nails have NO chips! If I lived closer this place would be my regular spot, but I live in Orange County. Kudos to all staff!!! Continued blessings to your business!!!

OMG!!! Take it from someone who has been using salon services since 1985… This is #FirstClass !!! I love the color selection, the service and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back ;) ~Heather

Unilocaling on the Mocha Girl’s… Great service coming from Loveleescreations (Ms. Palm Springs)…

I’ve been looking for a place to get my nails done for a year. I’ve gone to soo many nail shops all over downtown dealing with broken nails, bad polish selection, unfriendly tech no bueno. However, I recently found this little gem of a nail shop and am FINALLY happy. The inside of the shop is cute AND CLEAN. I was greeted by Mocha and introduced to all of their name brand pretty polishes, gels and stickers… Oh my, I couldn’t make up my mind. But they were so friendly and helped me choose.
My feet were soaked in warm water with flowers that dissolved into soap (super cute)! The lovely lady that did my pedi (oops I forgot her name) was very professional and left my feet sparkling. My nails were not drilled but hand filed to perfection. My design and shape are beautiful. I will definitely be back. Now getting my nails done can be a luxurious experience instead of a chore.

I’ve now been here three times and each time is better than the last. This place is a gem; it’s minority owned and Ms. Mocha is the queen. I haven’t had a service from her yet but that’s largely because she is always working on another client. The ambiance is relaxed and the music is on point. You can come here to relax and to laugh as these ladies are crazy.
I first came here because of Ayana, I have been a loyal customer of hers for several years now. Ayana is truly talented, she makes you feel like family. She does it all, manicures, pedicures etc. but her bread and butter are her designs. If you can think it up, she can do it. I’ve had beaches, Easter eggs, Christmas trees, leaves, flowers, butterflies, feathers, stripes, polka-​dots and breast cancer ribbons to name just a few… Ayana is my girl and although my review is biased, she deserves it.
Yesterday CeCee did my manicure, although this is not her primary area of expertise, she owned it and did a great job. CeCee does facials and I am looking forward to trying her services out. She seems to have a good touch.
Tips: It is starting to get busy so I recommend making an appointment though from what I saw, walk ins are not only accepted, these women work to ensure everyone gets the service they need.
Parking can be a challenge so make sure to allow time to find a spot.
The ice cream truck frequents the area so make sure to bring some change.
Other than that, enjoy!

I visited this nail shop for the first time to support my people and I was very dissapointed! The owner (Mocha) was nice, however not that experienced in doing nails. Usually my nails don’t break, but after getting a fill from Mocha, three days later two nails broke and a week later the other nails started lifting. Plus when I got my nails done by her she quoted me one price and charged me more than she quoted me, and she works very slow. I wasn’t pleased with service at all!

I really love this salon. It’s beautiful inside & the work of the nail technicians is wonderful.
Ayanna does my pedicures. She is my bridge to the ultimate stress getaway. Her technique is well mastered & she takes her time. Mocha does my nails. She proves that #blackgirlsdoitbetter. She has the latest designs & will have you feeling good about your hands. CeCe has the eyebrows & eyelashes on lock. This is a full service salon & you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been looking for a black owned nail salon in Los Angeles for a LONG TIME and I finally found it, well my husband found it for me but anywho… I went and I loved my mani/​pedi. I will spread the word! Great Service, Beautiful Atmosphere and Black Owned. You can’t beat the combination. You must try them TODAY!

Wonderful nail salon owned by wonderful women of color. I’m proud of the business and impressed by the service. I received a gel manicure and pedicure on their wonderful plush sofa! Can’t treat a girl better than that. Did I mention they have mimosas? Extremely clean and very warm yet professional staff. Loved the experience and will definitely be back!
