In Style Nails

Been coming here for years! Love Mary, Helen and Cathy. The spa mani pedi is $ 27 and with gel mani is $ 40! They have great prices and service and I have never left disappointed ;) They take walk ins but you might have to wait. This place doesn’t rush you like some of the other nail «mills» around… Would recommend Mary!

Very disappointed. Made an appointment to get a fill and a pedicure. I was told my fill would be $ 19. After my fill (which I wasn’t too pleased with), I went to pay the man (not sure if he is the owner or not). He said I owed $ 16 for the pedicure (fine) but now $ 23 for the fill. WHAT? I only had a regular fill. He said that because the manicurist had to file my nails down, they charge more. Um, my nails were already on the short side, so it’s not like they cut and filed them down. Just a normal filing across. So, he decided he would honor the original price quoted to me. It wasn’t about the money as much as it was about telling me one thing, then charging me another. Im addition to my experience at this salon, I noticed that the manicurist (and I won’t say whom), didn’t put the acrylic on the sides of the nails, so I had to ask her to do so. After one week, I looked like it had been three weeks since my last fill. Two nails very fragile, so pieces on the sides broke off.
I tried this salon out because of all the great reviews. I do not recommend this salon; 1., because of the whole pricing situation and 2., because I got a half-​assed job. Seriously cannot find a good salon in the valley!

I give it a one star for the fact that I payed $ 50 for a gel full site with 2 designs not a week has gin by and one nail broke and broke MY nail with it! Two days later another nail from the same hand comes off I’m soo pissed at the fact that they charged me so much for my nails that didn’t get to last me a week!!! Wtf never going back again! It was Hanna that did my nails… Also they have ROCHES!!! Gross never going again!!!

I continue to patronize In Style Nails as I have for the last 15 years because they consistently do a good job and the gals are always pleasant. Prices are reasonable.

My fiancé and I have been coming here for the last year and we love this place. Everybody is so friendly and professional. Hanna is amazing. She is so sweet and does the best acrylics.
The owner does a beautiful job eyebrow waxing. They always take us on time and there’s plenty of free parking in the building. We’re definitely regulars!!!

The best gel manicure I’ve ever got in town. Perfect– just the way i like it and it lasted over 3 weeks, Had to remove them only because my nails grew too long to keep it. Unfortunately, can not recall the girl’s name (waited too long to write this review) who did the manicure for me, but will definitely recognize her. I’ll try to add her name in my review (just a quick tip in case someone is interested — at the time i did my manicure she was pregnant (beginning of October 2015:)).

The price is reasonable but the quality is not the best. My pedicure has lasted a little over a week but my manicure ended peeling off less than a week.
I went in with gels, and the nail tech ground my nail down so much with the drill that several layers of my natural nail were removed. If not by the drill, then by the scraper after the acetone. I have had gels on my nails successfully for over a year and have never had any problems when I see my regular nail tech. However, getting them removed at InStyle was not my wisest decision, and now my nails are flimsy and breaking.
The cost for mani/​pedi is $ 25.
I went very early on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t too crowded yet, although they were very busy.
Parking lot is small, but there is metered street parking on Ventura, and minimal side street parking uphill.
They take card for payment but cash for tips.

First time here and absolutely LOVE my new gel nail polish!
Hannah was my girl and did an awesome job!
Such a clean job and was very efficient!
Will definitely come back here!

I have been going to In Style Nails for 15 years now. Sandy is my favorite!

This will be my third visit to this salon and I’m finally very happy with my nails! Annie is amazing! Thank you!

In the past I would’ve given them 5 stars and have been coming for about two years now. They always (now, half the time) do the best job on my cuticles/​skin around my nails keeping it clean between visits, but recently not as consistently.
My pedicure from Sunday has already chipped, and it is Wednesday.
But my biggest issue, that I’ve been struggling with for almost a year now with them, and have been coming less frequently, is just doing my nails the way I say to do them, especially color choice.
I’ve had them change colors when I’m not looking, paint over a color I’ve picked with another, and argue with me that another color is better (turquoise toes not a summer color? That’s beachy as hell. And, more importantly, WHAT I WANT. Not sea foam green.)
I’ve had them override me when I’m not looking, I’ve caved in and I’ve fought back. I’ve told them nicely and sternly. I’ve had them trade or refuse to do my colors. I took it as a challenge to stand up for myself, but I’m over it.
This last time I wanted a design, nude/​tan on top with a large half-​moon arch in soft green on the bottom. It doesn’t matter if that is rad or lame, it is what I wanted to do with my nails in August. We talked about it, I showed her both colors, both were brought out, and I showed her a picture. We agreed this was it.
I took a work call around the time she started, and I also didn’t question the order she was painting in (start with green? Ok, makes sense I guess.)
Nah. She had decided to give me full green nails with SPARKLE GLITTER MOONS. Screw my request or needs, let’s give me teen teenage mutant ninja turtle 80s glitter nails. When the glitter came out, I stopped her. But had to meet a friend and didn’t have time to start over.
I work in an office. These nails are not appropriate to my daily life. I needed a small pop of color.
So I’m stuck with these TMNT nails, and done with In Style Nails.
Sorry they couldn’t just «do» my nails but had to walk all over my free will one too many times and left me with a lamer outcome than my original ideas (which, I admit, some are better than others, but at least they’re mine.)

When you make appointment with someone specific, they don’t honor that. I got to my appointment 5min late and they lied and said she won’t have enough time for me since her next client is in 25min. I asked her to start and let someone finish my pedicure if her client comes and cannot wait the 5 min that I was late. Then they said she already stated someone. But according to what I saw, she didn’t start 5 min ago. That was someone that she started 20min ago. She was finishing a pedicure at that moment.
So these people are not honest. You might as well walk in. Making appointment is pointless.

If you don’t find a parking spot on street level, there is ample parking available on the 2^nd floor. Everyone here is wonderful. I never ask for anyone in particular because I have found that all the ladies who work here are great!!! That’s not the usual experience I’ve had with other nail salons.

So bad! I was recommend this place by a friend so I went in to get a gel mani and a regular pedi. I like the pedi but my gosh was the mani so horrible. The person, who unfortunately I did not catch her name, did not even fully the finish my nails. I felt as if she was rushing to get to her next appointment. I did not like that at all. I really did not like my gel mani at all. I will never go back to that place. My nails are chipping and one of my fingers looks unfinished. I rather go to my normal place Studio Nails in Panorama City,
The only good thing about this place is that there nail polishes are easily to choose, its not a big mess. Oh and the pedi was good.

I can’t express how happy I am to have found Sandy. She does my nails exactly how I like them done — very natural, fast & to perfection. I’ve done regular mani/​pedi and gel manicure with her and although I haven’t tried other nail techs, I refuse to leave her. My go to nail place!
The only thing I don’t like is the fact that they don’t put bags in the pedicure tubs. It drives me crazy knowing that they just emptied the water and filled it up for the next person so I no longer get my feet done here. I do know they sanitize their tools but the tub, I just can’t get over it. This nail salon is on Ventura but it’s pretty low maintenance compared to other nail salons. I wish they would upgrade the salon to look more visually nice.

The only reason I am giving this review 3 stars is because I actually kind of liked the way they did my nails, which is as important as the overall experience.
The service sucked. I had an appointment set for a gel manicure and pedicure. The only time I have to go is during my lunch break (I didn’t even get to eat lunch). My friend’s graduation party is coming up and I need my nails done. By the time I get home from work, all of my usual nail places are closed. So, I decided to try somewhere closer to where I work. I looked up this place and they had decent reviews. When I called to make an appointment, I asked if it was possible for them to finish everything in an hour. I was assured it would be done. I promptly arrived for my appointment. The woman who greeted (more like stared at my face and asked me what I wanted) acted like she was surprised I was there, as if they didn’t know there was an appointment at that time. The place is okay. Nothing too special in terms of décor. The side with the chairs is nice, but the rest looks messy. There were cleaning supplies and boxes everywhere in the front. The washer and dryer were visible in the back.
When I walked in, the place smelled disgusting– like a combination of acetone, someone’s lunch being heated up, and mildew. One of the nail technicians finally realized after a while and opened the door to let in some fresh air. Even though I scheduled an appointment, they made me wait 25 minutes before finally taking me to the pedicure chair. While I was waiting, all of the other nail technicians just kept staring at me like I was of another world. Another woman arrived for her appointment after me, and they took her first. Why set me an appointment if you’re going to make me wait? I might as well have been a walk-​in! The reason I called is so I don’t have to wait! A few of them very kindly thanked me for waiting. I really appreciated that.
When I finally sat down in the chair, I handed the woman the color I chose and she began my pedicure. She asked me if I had picked a color for gel also. I said I needed to look at their options. She began to laugh in my face and say «You didn’t pick one out yet?» How am I supposed to pick one out if nobody gives me the options? Am I supposed to magically know where you keep your samples? I asked them to give it to me so I can decide. Instead of giving me the options, she picked one she though matched my pedicure color. I asked again to see the options so I could choose. Again, she brought another color she thought matched. I asked her to bring all of the options because I didn’t want my nails and toes to match. Once again, she brought what she thought was nice. At this point, I was so frustrated and pressed for time that I agreed to what she brought. She then informed me they didn’t have that color and brought me another one. At this point, I didn’t care what color they brought. Just start my manicure! It took them another 20 minutes before someone started my gel. Everything was fine for a while, until halfway through my pedicure– the woman doing it left to go wax another client’s eyebrows. Umm.. . Okay.. . I’ll just wait I guess.
So many people arrived for walk-​ins. Half the time they would tell them to come back later cause they were busy, and then immediately change their minds and say «no, come back, we’ll take you now.» They seated people out of order. It didn’t matter who came first. They chose based on their own whims– very unorganized. This caused them to run late for others who were waiting for their appointments. The woman doing my gel manicure wouldn’t let the time finish on the dryer before making me switch hands. One hand would dry for 20 seconds, while the other dried for a full minute. She kept pulling the dryer away before I could even take my hand out. I get it that they’re busy, but I shouldn’t have to suffer because you guys couldn’t plan your appointments properly. They finally finished and I was so ready to leave. They actually did a nice job on my pedicure and gel manicure. It’s good quality. It’s the only good thing I have to say. They take their time. The woman doing the pedicure took her time more than the woman doing my gel. She rushed it a little, but it was still good. Overall, I was there for almost 2 hours– I was late to go back to work.
I don’t know if they just happened to be extremely busy today or if this is a regular occurrence. Either way, don’t take walk-​ins if you have people coming for appointments. Similarly, don’t book appointments if you cannot guarantee that you can take them at the scheduled time! Squeezing in a few extra people every day is not worth providing bad service to the other clients who took the time to book an appointment.

I got a mani-​pedi and it was fast. I’m surprised at the amount of techs working on the floor. I loved the lady that worked on my feet and was less than impressed with the mani tech since she was sloppy and did an uneven polish application job and could not do the somewhat simple design I was asking for.
However, I do have to rate this shop on an overall experience. The guy at the front desk/​cashier is SHADY. He’s kind of stand-​offish, rude and barely speaks English– but those aren’t the reasons why he’s shady. I asked for him to break my $ 20 bill so I can tip the nail techs and he ended up giving me 2 fives and 9 ones back hoping he could cheat me out of a dollar. I let him know and he gave me my money back right away without even questioning me– I think because he knew he had just been caught trying to steal. Now the amount is trivial; but it is that I do not feel comfortable going to a place where I feel I need to watch out for people trying to steal from me or rip me off so I will definitely NOT be coming back.

LOVE LOVE LOVE … This place is great:. I wouldn’t know where to start to get into how this place takes the
EXTRA CARE to make you happy…
WARNING: THEY ARE VERY BUSY, and you MUST make an appointment if your looking for that «EXTRA CARE»
SOOOO… if you want to really enjoy yourself, PLEASE Make an appointment… otherwise I can’t really expect them to even take you, and if they do, I can’t promise you will enjoy yourself because they are probably trying to fit you in between appointments, but overall this place is AMAZING!!!
highly recommended

THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS TAKING THE BEST CARE OF ME! :) XOXO. I always greatful;)

Found this place on Unilocal and beyond happy with everything. Got a mani/​pedi/​white tips on my hands. they came out perfect. The chairs are super comfy and the prices cannot be beat!!!
So thrilled this is right down from my new apartment.

Extra parking lot on top of the building!
I work at an animal hospital where, as you can assume, I wash my hands a million times a day. I also handle a lot of gross things so I don’t want or need long gorgeous nails to get said gross things stuck under them. I DO need strong nails so cats can’t bite through them and dogs can’t break them off. My first time here a woman looked at my nails (acrylics for 9 years on and 2 years off at tjisnppint. but still weak) and recommended gel. Now I know gel is the trend right now and I heard it’s strong without damaging your nails as bad as acrylic so I gave it a try. It looked pretty, she did her job but 6 or so days and 590 hand washings later my thumb nails started to peel off and I can’t just let things gradually destruct so I peeled Em off. My nails looked JUST as bad as after I peel off acrylics so I don’t fall for the gel anymore.
That being said the real review is that my nail tech hannah gets it. I need them super super short so that I can’t see any peeking over my fingertips and sometimes I come in with my hands looking a hot mess with nails broken off. She never speaks in a language I don’t understand to her friends around her about it (yay!) And never tries to convince me to just do gel or says «you should have long beautiful nails» like some other places have. I get water under them sometimes and she has to pull them off and does so as gently as you possibly can manage (it’s never going to be painless) they usually last unless I have a really rough 2 weeks and they have a wide variety of nail colours. Open later then most nail salons and clean !
