Laurel Nails

I came i for a fill nails and a pedicure. The staff was nice the pretty careful awesome they take a long time to taking care of my feet. They do try there best but they don’t do your fill natural look. when she was painting my hands, I was having a nervous breakdown she was nice enough to give me a tea cause my hands were super cold. They dont know how to do any nail designs.

This place I went to despite the bad reviews and yet surprised that I was very disappointed I got acrylic nails and gel polish the nails turned out crooked and the polish was messy and some was on my skin also weirdly she had me get up to wash my hands of all the filing after applying the acrylic to clean the nails! Waaayyyyyy over priced $ 38 and left not happy will not be coming back!!!

Wow! I was going to the same salon for waxing for years and they final closed so I needed to find someone quick. I walked in and was take. Care if quickly. Sandy was thorough with my brows and did a great job overall. Best part is it was $ 20 for eyebrows, lip and chin wax. For sure I’ll be a regular here and they even do facials!

Thanks to my dolls Susan and Lisa! They’ve been so great! And not to mention Michelle :) super satisfied!

Absolutely horrific. I made an appointment that started 15 minutes late.
They used an electronic nail file to «loosen» my cuticles and cut me so badly that I bled the entire time. She did it NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!!! She then didn’t listen when I told her that I was searching for a more natural pink. After not finding a color anywhere near (a simple natural pink!) I asked for one coat. I had to practically yell for her not to apply a second coat.
The place was dirty — it looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks. I don’t mean dust, I mean nail bits everywhere. She used a dirty towel and her tools clearly hadn’t been sanitized. Oh, and then she charged me full price for the botch job. Never again.

Update: It’s few days later and even though the bad pain is gone but the nail still hurts so today I went to Laurel Nails and the manager refunded my money (which I took as their apology), however the employee who initially did the refill for me showed a lot of attitude and actually blamed me, instead of just saying she’s sorry. Not a professional behavior.

Love this place! Affordable and the ladies all do a great job!
Sometimes it takes a day to get an appointment but when am lucky I can usually get in the same day.

First of all, you don’t ever go to a nail salon for WAXING, unless they’re known for their good waxing, duh! Loved this place! It’s right next to my home and I can easily walk there, BUT on top of that the service was warm, my nails looked amazing and I will def come back.

Came in for a «Full» bikini wax and was shocked to see her dip the same stick into the wax container through the entire session! I said your placing the stick all over my private area you need to put a new stick in the hot wax container! She went on as if I said nothing WTF how unsanitary! Germs thrive in warm environments I won’t be coming back here again!

New management and great service .
I love getting a mani pedi and eyebrows done here.
This place is clean. The employees are nice and they know you by name.
Been coming here for sooo many years

1^st time at Laurel Nails. Us 4 were attended to right away and the technicians were thorough. Calm setting and great service. Will definitely come again. Michelle and Daisy were awesome.
Try them!

Extremely slow work and over priced, I regret getting gel polish here. It took one hour just for a color change and not even a manicure! The first color I chose started to shrink before she could even apply the clear coat and she had to remove all the gel and start over with another color! After I chose a different color, they asked for $ 20 even after all the trouble and time they wasted just for a gel color application. I feel ripped off and disappointed.

I can understand why this place had negative reviews before. Every time I got my nails done here before, I walked out unhappy with the results. I can’t think of one time in the past where I walked out of there satisfied. I would go just because it was so close to my house (my fault). Plus, I really didn’t like the girls that used to work here. So I stopped coming here altogether for a few years.
However, now with the new owner it’s so much better. I came back on a whim, and have been coming back ever since. Its definitely cleaner, than it used to be and looks better in general.
I see Michelle & Lan (aka «Sandy») for my nails, they both do a great job. I especially love Michelle but all the girls are great here.
They are always happy to help you, they’re warm/​inviting, they want you to be happy when you walk out. They have fair prices & every time I’m thrilled with the way my nails look. In fact, they do such a great job that I’ve ONLY had to get fills. The last new full set of acrylic I’ve gotten was about 8 MONTHS AGO. And I’m tough on my nails.
I’m surprised fills have lasted this long for me. In the past I’ve always had to get new set, because eventually they would start to fall off. I payed $ 20 or $ 22 for a new set 8 months ago. And I only pay $ 13 for a fill every-​time since. I just love this place & I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

OKAY, I was so confused about why this place received so many negative reviews then I saw that a fellow Unilocaler said the owner of this salon is named Tina… well NOT ANYMORE! The new owner of this salon is named MICHELLE, her Vietnamese name is Phuong.
The place is also slightly renovated (decorations) and definitely CLEANER than before. Michelle is SOOO nice and did a really good job on my nails. I got gel nails done, which uses my real nails and the paint didn’t chip for a whole 2 weeks! She has SOO many colors for gel nails, I got #17 which is this slightly sparkly pink and I got several compliments on them. I guess since she took over she threw out all the old nail polish and got a new selection.
Yes, this place isn’t in the greatest neighborhood, but it’s a great place to get in, get your nails done, and get out. Oh, and btw. since it’s not in the greatest neighborhood, they have to buzz you in, so if you yank on the door and it doesn’t open the first time, just try again 5 seconds later, lol.
I also saw a lot of people come in for this other lady (forgot her name) to get their eyebrows done. must try her next time.
Bottom line: definitely recommended! go go go!
******I forgot to add, this place is cash only!*****

LOVE this place! Clean, friendly, the owner Tina is a doll. Honestly the best mani/​pedi I’ve ever had for the price…$ 22 bucks! (I read the negative reviews here and I completely disagree). Give it a try, well worth it. Thorough and basic… gets the job done.

What! Okay It’s not a high end nail salon but it’s nice. the colors are okay most of them are OPI. I come here atleast once a week and I always leave satisfied! && for 20 $ it’s a bargain. If you do go there ask for Helen she takes her time: D
I always feel welcomed.

I don’t know why there are so many negatives about Laurel Nails. I have been going here off and on for about 2 years now. I have never had a bad experience and my nails last forever. I go there to get fills and my nails never chip, like they do when I go to more expensive places. My nails grow crazy fast and they don’t charge me to cut them down like other places do either… I don’t get that, how do you charge to cut nails at a nail place.
They do a great job on my pedicures too, again my pedicure lasts for a while too. they take their time and give a pretty darn good foot massage also. If you want a longer massage there is a charge for that.
I have never made an appointment and never had to wait longer than 10 minutes to be seen, but then again, I do as a cabby make my own hours, so I can go doing off hours during the week. I have seen it get busy though, so if you want to go on the weekend or on in the evening an appointment couldn’t hurt.
I am pretty tight when it comes to money, so I think they the prices aren’t bad, whenever I go, I get a pedicure and a fill, that costs me $ 30.00 with tip, I know there are places more expensive than that.
My only complaint is that they do not take credit cards and parking can be sketchy especially since there is a major construction project on Oxnard and you can’t park on the street. I am sorry that the other reviewers had such a bad experience, but I never have and I hope that others give them a chance.

I seriously dont know who gave this a 4 star because they must be thinking of the wrong Laurel Nails. The prices are NOT reasonable — TOO expensive for such a horrible job. Try Stella Making Beauty instead i looove that place now.

I agree… this place SUCKS!!! I haven’t been recently, but I went twice last year (the second time just to give it a fair chance, since 1^st impressions aren’t always the best). Both times left with burned, sore fingernails, and bleeding cuticles. There is no «good» person to go to, LOL! They ALL suck! Poor choice of polish colors, and a somewhat outdated collection. Not a very clean place either.

I wrote a review, and then decided to delete it.
Just don’t even bother going there. just don’t.
