K Queen’s Nail Salon

So, if you read some of my last nail all reviews you can see I’ve kind of had a journey looking for a good nail salon, and half of it I haven’t even written about.
So, normally I go to semi «higher end» salons in west LA and I have been on a quest for the perfect nail artist for coffin shape or shape acrylic nails. My friend told me about this place, raving about how «nice he is» and how great the prices are.
I drove here and was surprised at the long drive. I def wasn’t in west LA anymore. When I got there I was shocked at how little brand name selection the nail polish was. I mean normally when I go places it’s dozens and dozens of Essie and opi colors– here there was maybe 3. The rest brands I’ve never heard of. I understand it’s expensive and it’s a mom and pop but still.
Michael is so nice! He didn’t do my nails but he’s the one I talked to. He told me $ 17 for a full set. In the middle of it the other man doing my nails told me they charge $ 20 for my long nails. Still ok with me. And get this. Only $ 11 for a fill! Amazing!!! ½ the price of others. So anyways, the man who did my nails did an amazing job!!! Wow! I was blown away. Here’s the thing– he is actually passionate about it I think. He had pride and attention to detail. He went above and beyond to please me. To me service is everything– I got that plus amazing nails.
What I really liked was that they had a few displays of nail shapes they do. This made it easy. Because many don’t get the shape right. I have never LOVED my nails more than I do now. I cannot stop looking at them. Def worth the drive and def taking my own polish next time. Oh also I loved the TV being on and the small and personal atmosphere. Totally bringing my friends. I thanked mine for telling me! The only reason it’s not 5 stars is the polish brands.

I honestly don’t know how this place has so many stars. I heard they were good so my bestfriend and I decided to try it. They were extremely awkward first of all. And the selection of colors suck. Thank goodness I was prepared for that and took my own nail polish. As did my friend. They offered to put a gel top coat over regular nails for $ 7. I’ve gotten it done for $ 5 and it actually lasted longer. My bestfriend got the gel coat and I didn’t. They charged her before they even did her nails and didn’t give her the choice of leaving tip, rather asked «how much should I put on the card as tip» like excuse me? Anyways. I decided I didn’t want gel coat. We walked out happy with our nails. The next day my nails were how I took the pictures. I might as well had done my own damn nails if they were gonna chip so quickly. My bestfriends «gel» lasted at least two days but began chipping as well. BIG mistake choosing this nail salon when we’ve been to better.

This place is really good at doing nails and detail oriented. The shop is a mom n pop shop that needs some TLC but the price and service are awesome! Expect to wait as they only have 2 people working most of the time. Weekdays are best like any nails shop.

Horrible. Not much else. They started my nails and they were so rude and they hurt me i had them stop and i walked out.

I was looking for a good nail salon in the area. I found this one on Unilocal.Got a full set. I’m very happy I came here:) & they were really nice too.

I love love love this place!!! I have made the mistake of going somewhere else since it was a Tuesday (only day they are closed) and I learned a good lesson. Never ever do that again. So what if you don’t get a broken massaging chair or warm stones rubbed up on you, you are there for perfect nails right? Right. So if you find youself anywhere near Mid City, you need to at least try them out. I even enjoy chatting it up with the new girl Jennifer. She is super cool. Oh and one more thing… only 18 bucks for a mani & pedi! I always leave happy!

Don’t judge a nail salon by its strip mall location. K Queen’s Nail Salon is awesome! Although the place is kind of ghetto, they always have the TV on soap operas or sports, and it’s a total hole-​in-​the-​wall complete with tattered carpet and spider webs in their restroom, I wouldn’t go any place else to get my nails done. There isn’t much of a nail polish selection so I would recommend you bring your own. Other than that, I think they are fantastic! The owner is super funny and genuinely nice; his sister is very shy but also very nice. Every set of acrylics I’ve gotten there has been PERFECT! I’ve taken many of my friends with me and they all continue to frequent this salon, even though most of them live a good 8 – 12 miles away. You don’t need an appointment but they are short staffed and get pretty busy during lunch. I can’t stop raving about the quality of their work.
