Cutie Nails & Spa

This is my go to nail spot! They always do a great job, no matter the request. Customer service is very friendly. Definitely recommend:)

First of all let me say how hard it was for me to go to a new nail salon. I had been going to my other nail salon for the past 8 years and since starting another job their times and hours just haven’t been working well with my new schedule! After 2 months of not being able to get my toe nails done I finally surrendered to find a new place. I looked on Unilocal and saw tons of nail places but chose Cutie Nail salon first because I figured I might end up having to try a few different places before I could find a place that I’d like. First thing I noticed was that it wasn’t so busy. It’s nice, clean & spacious and the massage chairs work good. The gentleman that did my pedi was Kevin. He probably asked me about 3 – 4 times how everything was. Which he was doing a great job! I didn’t feel rushed. They gave me a small water bottle. Can’t beat the price. I would imagine since it was Wed afternoon & wasn’t busy that it’s a better time to go. I have no complaints really other than the massage could be a lil longer. I tipped well so that hopefully he remembers me the next time I come & extends that massage. The toe nails look great & loved the callus treatment! Looks like I found myself a new salon.

CUTIE NAILS IS AMAZING !! The service is OUTSTANDING… You actually feel like your being pampered !! Everybody is very friendly and they do a WONDERFUL JOB ! And the prices are good !

The concept of short and square edge is lost on them. The nail tech working on my feet wasn’t very good, I don’t think she had any experience. She didn’t know how to use a nail file at all. I’m dead serious!!! She keep asking me how I wanted my nails to look, Short and square! How is that a hard concept to grasp. Please tell me? She called another nail tech over to help explain the concept to her.. .. Really? The other nail tech changed me pedi person and this new tech understood what I was asking for.
Sadly the new tech also was I experienced. My cuticles look like crap and the skin around my nails is damaged. She was cutting my toes and I couldn’t understand what she was doing. She spent sooooo much time on my cuticles that I don’t understand why they look worse then when I came in.
The polish was lumpy and it looked like they added acetone to it to make it more useable. The girl was bad at applying it on my nails and my feet look like my husband painted them. The polish bottle says China glaze (I normally love this brand).
*The place looks clean.
*They give you water when you sit down.
*They seem to be ok w/​fixing the problem when a customer doesn’t like the person working on them.
My husband was getting a haircut next door so I thought I try this place out. I will not be coming back. They don’t know what the hell they are doing and the service performs is subpar, it’s amateur hour.

He always does my nails how i like them, gives you water, i sometimes walk in right before they close and they dont mindddd they sit there and do my nails without rushing and have conversations with me, love it!

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.
There are WAY better nail salons in the area then this one. I came here because my other nail tech at another salon didn’t keep my appointment so I got mad and was looking for another tech to replace her.
I came on Unilocal,looked around at places in Lomita (since it’s on the way to work) and found this place. Seemed nice by the reviews so I went in.
I was greeted by a young man who said «You sit. I do for you». I explained that I wanted Acrylic Gel Short and Round and Black. He said «okay I can do. Easy».
At first everything seemed alright. He gave me a little bottle of water and sat me down.
Long story short, EVERYTHING he did was not only sloppy and rushed, but kinda aggressive. He didn’t even really put the acrylic entirely on my nail. SOUNDS weird because it is. He literally put the acrylic nail as far on the VERY VERY tip of my nail as it could go which I believe makes the nail weaker. Whatever.
THEN he started to asked if I wanted squared round. I said «No, just round. I want my fingers to look skinnier. So round, not square round» to which he said «Okay. Easy».
He didn’t shape my nail before putting on the gel. He really SLAPPED the gel on my nail, too. I had gel all over my finger. It was awkward. I didn’t say anything because I know every technician has a different technique. He ended up cleaning up the sloppy gel job HOWEVER my nails STILL looked fat and THICK! Not very well shaped AT ALL. I’ve seen better technique from a $ 15 shop. NO JOKE!
THEN, he started shaping the nail (FINALLY) and did a horrible job. I pointed out some messy nails and he started arguing with me «I only Do what you you tell me. I don’t know what you like. I’m only doing what you told me to».
UHHHHH, I never said for you to make my nails look fat and crappy, sir. I told him «Look, I don’t want to argue. I’m just pointing out some mess» and after that, I could TELL he was angry about it. He’s not the type who can take criticism, that’s for sure.
Well, not only did he do a crappy job on my nails (If I’m paying 30 bucks for a gel, acrylic, I expect to walk out looking like I spent 30 bucks) but he NEVER washed my hands after shaving and shaping so my fingers looked dry and I had dust all over my hands when I left. GROSS! He also did a REALLY sloppy paint job. You know where your cuticle is? You want the paint on that area to be nice and straight, right so when it grows out, it doesn’t look like crap? Well, my cuticle paint area looks like I did it. LOL.
ALL and ALL, the job was crappy and the price is TOO HIGH for someone to be that UNSKILLED in his job. I will NOT be returning to this place.
Pros: They give you water, it’s easy to get to and the place IS clean on the inside.
Cons: The technicians are sloppy and unskilled and it’s too expensive for the sloppy job they did.
I gave it 2 stars for cleanliness of the shop and the friendliness of some of the other workers.
I think the two girls I saw there would be better technicians. The girls are ALWAYS better technicians. However, go somewhere else. You’ll get better work done elsewhere, I’m sure.

this was my first time coming here to the salon and based on the reviews, i had high hopes for them and i was not disappointed. I live close by so i thought why not, also I apparently came on a slow day, so the second i walked in, they started on my nails and they brought me a bottle of water, which was really nice. I’m a bit of quite person when i first meet people which can sometimes make things a bit more awkward but the guy i was with made me feel really comfortable (sorry, i never caught his name.) I got gel acrylics with a simple color, (an other cool thing is that they don’t try and talk you into adding other stuff, they just give you what you want. All the stars for that) In total it coast me $ 33, which compared to other places ive been to, is really good. totally coming back

Oh where do I begin, my neighbor had told me about this place a year and 2 months ago (says tony) after they had begin new ownership. After I have moved a lil further and pass up sooo many nailshops I can not see myself going anyehere else. I absolutely love this place and recommend it to everyone they are so family oriented and absolutely love there customers so much they laugh with you and remember the lil things Tony is a great nail tech and tho he is so crazy he has became a great friend of mine even his wife jeeny they are soo great at what they do. I trully love them.

Love this place!!! The whole staff makes you feel welcomed. As soon as you walk in they bring you water. Within an hour I was out did a gel fullest and my boyfriend did a mani/​pedi as well. Fastest I’ve ever been out and lovedddddd my nails. Definitely coming back and highly recommend. Prices are super affordable.

I have nothing but love to give this place. Did not expect it to be this great but the reviews did not steer me otherwise. It was suuuuper affordable, the staff was attentive and took great care of my nails and they gave me a water bottle for my stay.
Sad I don’t live near to come often but definitely recommend!

This shop was recommended to me by a co worker after I left my last shop for poor customer service. I normally find a designing Pinterest so I know exactly what I want my nails and toes to look like when I walk in. Everyone greeted me when I walked in and offered me water. There were no other customers so I didn’t have to wait but let me tell you, I would wait an hour if I had to. The guy who did my nails was so nice and did my nails really fast. I love the way they turned out and they look better than the picture I showed him. He offered me gel color but I like regular polish so I can change at home if I want to. I tried a new style that I have never tried before and I love it!!! The shop was really clean and inviting. I think I have found my new nail salon. I went on a Sunday afternoon and they were not busy at ally

Absolutely amazing! I always leave satisfied and with a smile on my face. Tony will get the work done, no doubt about it. He knows that it is imperative to get the job done well. Thank god for this place.

Under new ownership and better than ever ! I stopped coming here a year ago when another owner was running the shop. I decided to come back now that there different owners and they are amazing ! The do gel on my fingernails and toes and it lasts a month ! This is amazing considering I put my toes through a lot as I am a long distance runner. I’m so glad I have them another shot!

Tony is the best. Ask for him and he’ll give you whatever you want. I always love my nails walking out of this place!

I’ve been going to Cutie Nails for about a year. I chose to come here because it’s close to home and I liked the hours. The service has progressively become worse. The first few times, the staff was inviting. They do always give you water. The last time I went (April 2015) the inappropriate joking was persistent, disrespectful and heavy. My requests for a particular pedicurist was disregarded (as he assigns the least experienced workers according to his choice) to customers. He doesn’t allow the customer to choose their worker. They provide service with smiles and jokes, but it’s inappropriate, persistent and their sales tactics are insistent. They are not responsive to the requests and needs of their customer.

I recently around the end of 2014 started going to this place and my whole 15 years of getting my nails done I would go mays beauty salon and the quality of cutie nails is sooooo much better! Everyone is so nice welcoming. Every time I come in they bring me a bottle of water and a piece of candy! I will never go back to my old nail place!

I Absolutely Love It Here! The Owners Tony & Jenny Are Always Welcoming & Super Sweet. There Really Affordable & Love The Different Color Options For Both Regular Nail Polish & Gel. They Take There Time In Making Sure Your Nails Come Out Just Right & Don’t Rush Like Some Places I’ve Been To. They Sterilize All There Tools & They Keep Everything So Clean & They Also Remodeled! So It’s So Nice & Not All Ugly With Those Pictures On The Walls Like Some Places Have. Overall Cutie Nails & Spa Is Hands Down My Favorite Nail Shop. I Recommend It To Anyone Who Wants A Nice Friendly Place To Really Relax & Get Amazing Nails.

I love the way this young girl did my eye brows ! She took about 15 mins AND THATS THE EXAXT TIME AMOUNT NEEDED TO FIX THESE THINGS. she knew exactly what to do and how to shape them gentle and precise ! I’m sitting here getting a pedi by this other lady and iam not exactly happy. I like square nails not round :/​and ouch she kept filing my skin. I’ll be coming here for eye brows but not to get my skin filed. This place is under new management I was immediately greeted as if the male knew me. He didn’t though lol. Anyhow great work on my eye brows.
