L A Nails & Tanning

This place is horrible! I came in to get a French acrylic manicure and the lady who seemed like she was the one in charged told me to sit at her station without saying hi or anything. Then when I was telling her what I wanted done she interrupted me and started to talk to another worker as if I wasn’t there. Then she started filing my nails but it hurt so bad because she wasn’t gentle at all! I told her it hurt and she said «no yew fine hunny». She was also trying to multitask but doing a different customers nails and therefore skipped a few steps in making my nails look perfect. I had to come back to her because my white tips (powder) weren’t completely dry and smudged. She refused to fix it. Never coming here again.

So i am NEVER going back to LA Nails in the vancouver mall. The guy was nice. I’ll give him that, but he kept harassing me to get a pedicure, and he finally gave up when i told him I live in Oregon. He also put acrylics on me after i asked 4 times for a manicure, NOT ACRYLIC. He kept saying, yes, like he understood. To top it all off i have at least two fingers that are bleeding. My poor mother too, who went with me. Her nails are ¾ white, and ¼ VERY DARK pink. The lady also put solar on my moms nails, which costs more, after she asks several times for her not to put solar on. I wanted a $ 25 manicure and my mom wanted a $ 25 full set. They charged me $ 35 and my mother $ 40. Horrible experience, and not doing that ever again.

Went here for the first time yesterday and I decided it last min so I got there about an hour before they closed. Lanni was fabulous. Didn’t try to force me to get a more expensive nail like most places do and took her time with my nails even tho it went past closing time. She did a fabulous job and I would recommend her to anyone:)

Ok job but will probably not return. Staff was ok. Cut off way too much cuticle. Nails were sore for 3 days

Me and two of my friends came here to get a simple manicure for $ 15 & they literally only took 5 mins and did such a crappy job and then charged us each $ 25! I was very unhappy and will never come back here and recommend you don’t come here if you want something nice. Poor service also. The ladies were all very rude.

I went in to spoil my sister for a belated Mothers day gift. It was on a Sunday, so they were busy. We got our pedicures and the lady who did mine was great, she took her time, and it was done correctly. My sister had a the guy, he did fine, but then skimped on my sisters cuticles and top coat! Why?!
I got my nails done, and the lady ignored my request for regular nail polish, so she did gel. She rushed through it, and the color I choose was NOT the color I wanted. She also didn’t massage my hands and or arms prior to putting on the polish or after. Needless to say after spending $ 100 there, I will not be going back. It was awful service, to quick paced and they skimp. I want some R&R when I go to get my nails done, not a rushed, half assed job.

This place is no good! I went here to get a full acrylic set and it looks BAD. The lady that did my nails was in such a hurry and skipped over so many steps. She didn’t clip my nails, remove my cuticles and barely filed them at all. I was out of there in 20 minutes. I will never be back.

DONT EVER GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT! Today I went in to get a full set done. One woman started my nails and then they switched techs in the middle of my service because they started to get busy. (Putting customers in pedicure baths when there weren’t enough workers just so they would stay 4 or 5 Manicures waiting ahead of that etc.) The second woman rushed my nails and wasn’t paying attention because she was yelling at all of the other people in the salon so she filed my nails way too narrow, and started to yell at me and call me «Picky». She offered to take them off and I agreed but she had a very disgusting attitude and started clipping my finger nails so hard and being excessively rough with my hand. So I refused to let her continue. This woman was out of control and I don’t recommend that kind of treatment to anyone! WE ARE ALL CUSTOMERS AND PAY YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SO WE SHOULD BE TREATED CORRECTLY.

They were packed (it was Mother’s Day so I expected it), but they forgot about me and let three people go ahead if me. I love my nails however, not exactly what I wanted but they pay very close attention to what they’re doing and take their time although they’re packed. Extremely nice people and they make sure you’re taken care of. I paid $ 40 for my nails but they had to remove my gel nails and redo everything. I had no issues. I’ll go back to get a file and fill.

I went to LA Nails just yesterday to get french tip acrylics and I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied with my nails, but they’re okay. They seemed to have a large range of colors to choose from although I just went with a plain white tip. The lady who did my nails was somewhat friendly, but we didn’t talk much. And when we did talk she asked me if I wanted a lip waxing! Which I don’t need, thank you very much! The lady also seemed confused when I told her «I do not want my nails that long». I don’t understand what’s so confusing, but I had her go back TWICE to re-​lengthen my nails making them shorter. I wanted her to go back a third time because they were STILL longer than I wanted! But I didn’t bother asking. Also, you can see a few bubbles in a couple of my nails and my nail on my left hand — middle finger is a little crooked. I gave LA Nails 3 stars because I would go here again seeing as my nails aren’t that bad, but they probably will not be my first choice.

If I had a choice they would get no stars. Got a Shellac French tip manicure with a glitter coat on top. The glitter top was mushy and rubbed right off. I’m assuming their shellac nail polish was old and needed to be thrown away. I also wanted another coat of the glitter before knowing it was bad and she told me NO and said it looked good the way it was. Other places I have been to massage your hands and arms as part of the manicure and put lotion on you. Not this place. I got cold water and they slightly filed my nails. I refused to pay and he was angry with me. I have never been treated with such disrespect! I strongly suggest to never go here! The worst customer service skills I have ever experienced!

I got a pedicure here and it was AMAZING! I forgot the name of the lady who did it (Tessa?) but she was pretty much a perfectionist. She took her time, gave a nice long massage, and painted my toes flawlessly. I’m very happy! This was my first time getting something done but I was with my husband a few days ago when he got his pedicure here and the girl who did it also did a great job. Seriously his toes never looked better. I know there are some bad reviews here but maybe they changed their way of doing things. It was pretty busy when I came in. I will be back for sure!

This business has an interesting practice for pricing. My wife daughter and a friend went here to have their nails done. The friend is of Indian descent and the price quoted for her was much higher than the other 2 girls. When questioned as to why her price was higher no answer was given. It was very evident that this business is very selective on who, how, and the price they charge for different races. They walked away before any services were started. I find it incredibly rude that a business today would do that to someone.
The people here are rude as well. There are many nail businesses that are far better.

I completely agree with other Unilocalers about this place. Its absolutely horrible! I went there yesterday at 7:30 (they close at 9) I arrived and immediately explained that I wanted a regular pedi and a full set. After telling me 20 times to sit down while I was picking out my polish, then the guy grabbed my stuff from me to set it down. I eventually picked the right silver and sat in. The water saw cold and there was a lady next to me also getting a pedicure. She kept telling the worker that the color she is putting on IS NOT ORANGE, which they insisted it was (it was hot pink) at which point I was like look, this color is clearly not orange… then they actually went and picked out a nice orange, and instead of repainting the nail, they just put extra coats on.
Then came my turn, I hear the whole upsell speach about how a $ 40 pedi would be sooo much better then the original $ 23 I chose. I stuck to what I came in for. Then the guy asks me if I want a massage on my feet… HELLO its a pedicure, not a dip your toes in the water and pay experience. Once shitty experience was over, a lady came to replace the man to paint my nail. She didnt put a base on. Neither did she clean my cuticles. She just slapped the nail polish on (like 5 year old). 2 coats of silver. You could still see through it, then they take me to the station to get my tips.
The lady kept talking to herself in Vietnamese… just talking away. asking questions.answering. No idea what she was talking about. Once again no massage on the hands, NOT EVEN LOTION,. when she put the tips on, and cut them, they ALL cracked. I asked her to file them down so I don’t see the crack, to which she replied «I fix for u… leita»…sure enough, she slapped the polish on like on the toes (which were still not done) the no base coat, jut polish. While I had went to the restroom, they put the polish I originally chose back… therefore they had to find it again and YES it was a completely different shade… once that was done, my 2 layers were so thick that the polish actually started sliding down to the side while drying resulting in big polish bubbles on the side of the nails. I asked her twice to fix it, she said its fine it will dry, I said, no its not, I have to fly out of town for a wedding at 5am, you need to fix this… she just kept saying its fine. FINALLY i asked her to just take the polish off as I was gona finish them myself at home,… at which point the owner got involved and asked her to fix them and FINALLY she repainted them.
Overall, avoid this place like the plague. There are sooo many nice nail places in town like the place on the corner of 18^th street and Andresen by the new Winco. or Jantsen Beach Nails, who treat their clients with respect and actually make you look nice. I REGRET EVER EVER EVER EVER going to them… ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE of my life. Today is my birthday, my nails look like shit.

THE worst salon experience I’ve ever had. I got a spa pedicure, french tip shellac on my fingernails, and an eyebrow wax. First of all, my toenails looked like a 12 year old painted them. It’s winter so I brushed it off, thinking it didn’t really matter because my toes won’t be exposed. Then, two days after I got my nails done, the shellac on my fingernails started to get weird brown stains on them. I work in an office, I don’t cook, and I’ve been sick so I haven’t been doing any sorts of activities that involve getting off of my couch. Exactly one week after getting my nails done I went back into the salon and showed the man working there what had happened. He asked if I wanted to change the polish. I told him no, I wanted it taken off because it would just stain again. He tried to charge me $ 10 to remove the shellac. I told him there was no way I was paying to have it removed. After asking me THREE TIMES if his salon was where I originally had them done, as if he did not believe me, he finally took it off for me. And by doing so, he completely butchered my nails. I’ve been working on making my nails stronger and longer for the past 3 months, and all of that was undone by how he took the shellac off. He used the electronic sanding/​buffering nail tool way too overzealously, and made my nails paper thin. You can see the blood under my nails and it hurts when I touch them with anything. He also cut me with the tool, and laughed about it. I told him at one point he was hurting me, and he laughed about it then, too. This place is AWFUL. No respect for their customers and they do not back their product. Worst $ 90 I have ever spent.

Quick and efficient. You get what you pay for. The girl that did my nails was very nice, didn’t speak a lot of english but that’s okay. I’ll go back…

Came here only because my regular nail salon was closed. I had a horrible experience over all. My nail lady made zero communication with me, she started my nails while also painting someone else’s toes! She kept filing my skin and clawing her nail into my cuticles.
