Garden Nail Spa

A little gem in the middle of WeHo. They always do an amazing job.

Fantastic service! My nails look awesome!

Awful.
I want to give them a good review because the people are usually very nice and it’s in my neighborhood, but it is the worst nail salon I’ve been to. Poor job, careless. I left with my nail bed bleeding.
Do not go here. Find another place.

I used to frequent this place in past and to my surprise not only the quality of work went down but service went with it. Under staffed and that energy transferred over to the customers.

I have always gone to Garden for my manicures and pedicures but haven’t gone in the last few months until today. I am sad to say the experience was not a positive one as I received little help selecting colors, and when I did get help, the colors didn’t match and I was ignored when I addressed that fact. Also, my gel manicure and pedicure were rushed, taking as little as 20 minutes each because they were understaffed and trying to avoid walking leaving. My toes suffered the consequence and got messed up immediately after they were done and a few had to be repainted.
Needless to say, I won’t be going back.

This is by far the WORST place I’ve ever gotten my nails done. Don’t waste your money here. All the ladies looks so unhappy .My nail tech was rude and very unprofessional.

I’ve been going here for mani/​pedi for a year, and so has my Mom, and the place is great. Nice people, good service, reasonable price, good atmosphere, and not a lot of Seinfeldian chatter that makes you paranoid that they’re talking about you.

walked in for a waxing of the eye brows. no wait time. I was greeted by Sunny. I was beyond thrilled with the outcome of my brows. Being a man I was slightly worried about an overdone waxing look. The outcome was very natural looking. She’s very attentive and gentle. I trust sunny with my eyebrows and will be back for maintenance.

I really wish I could give this place more stars. I can only comment on their manicure and acrylic services. I went in a couple months ago for just a basic manicure, came out with a few cuts and a color I wasn’t terribly happy with. Their color selection does NOT include just a basic nude color, in any shade which is what I was after. My nails chipped 2 days later, and I had absolutely horrible hang nails for the next month.
Fast forward to this past Saturday. I decided to treat myself to French tip acrylics at the price of $ 40. It was a horrible job. By the next day, they were all lifting because she applied it to my cuticles. I went in today to get them repaired, and typically when I get acrylics repaired, they do it like a fill. Nope, not here. He filed it down, threw on some NAIL GLUE filed some more, and sloppily did a clear coat on top. Then he literally shooed me out the door. It wasn’t busy, and no one was waiting. Needless to say, my nails are not fixed, so I now have to go pay to have them removed and redone properly. My nails look worse after the «repair» than before.
I’m angry I spent $ 40 and I now have to get them redone less than a week later.

Love this place. Friendly and meticulous service. No sales pressure and nails look perfect after… no nicks or cuts and smooth heels. Quick service too. Thorough manicure and pedicure for only $ 33. Ask for Helen or Ann. They are both excellent. Indulge with Pomegranate spa pedicure… antioxidants for your feet… yummy!!!

Not so great. I went in here about a week ago to get a standard, no-​frills mani pedi and left quite disappointed. I don’t get my nails done very often and really just go to get my toe nails cleaned up and my fingernails buffed to a shine. I don’t even know the names of the people who did my nails because they were so rushed and frantic. I was too worried to even look while one woman was on my finger nails. Afterwards, I looked down and was flabbergasted — they were jagged and uneven. I told them I didn’t want them super super short but fairly short and by then end there was nearly no nail left. It even mildly hurt. I definitely won’t get a manicure there again. Pedicure was slightly better than mediocre so I won’t go all in with one star, but be warned that you might walk out with less than you bargained for.

I wouldn’t even give this place one star. I went with my friend last weekend and had the worst experience. We both left ridiculously disappointed and had to redo our nails the next day. It was the worst manicure I have ever received. Each nail was unevenly painted and they were so rude when we pointed out that they literally kept adding paint brush hair under the paint. It felt like none of the employees understood what was going on and couldn’t handle more than one client in the store. Everyone’s attitude was awful and the service they provided was even worse.

I did NOT have a good experience here and I left really disappointed.
First of all, I like my nails to be cut and then lightly filed. Pretty much everywhere I go, this is standard. However, here, she cut my nails and then brought out the big boys (the thickest nail file I’ve ever seen) and filed like half of my already cut down nails. Then she asked me why I like my nails so short. Well, actually, I don’t.
Then she filed them so hard, I said that it was starting to hurt. She did not listen and kept proceeding and on the last nail pretty much gave me a deep paper cut from the side of the nail file. It started to bleed. Okay, yes. I get regular manicures every 2 weeks and every few months or so I get some form of a cut or they hit a spot that is sore and maybe it happens to bleed. They usually stop what they are doing and put some kind of thing on it to help it stop bleeding.
Not here. She put acetone on it! ACETONE. Yes. ACETONE. My finger was on FIRE with a burning sensation. This got me super upset and pretty much there was no going back from there.
I also said I like my nails «the most round that you can possibly make them» and of course they were round on the top and square on the side so I ended up biting my nails after a few days. Ugh.
I don’t live in LA and I’m very glad to be back to my NYC nail salons.

Got a pedicure there and was very disappointed by their work and their rude attitude. I had to redo it when I got home. Won’t come back.

Ask for Helen if she’s available, I’m sure others are great too but I always go to her. She’s friendly, meticulous, and thorough. No idea why in some people’s reviews they felt like they were overcharged or unaware of the pricing. The pricing and service options are up everywhere. I usually get the combo 2, mani and pedi with sea salt scrub, massage, and calluses removal for $ 55. Those that feel gipped probably should have read the signs or asked. Regardless my feet are always super smooth and soft when I leave.
Salon validates for two hours parking at the Ramada Inn which is behind it. Wide variety of colors, nice décor, relaxing, and near lots of other awesome businesses. Grab a coffee next door and get zen.
* Bonus* I chipped a nail, totally my fault, the next day. Helen touched it up for free. Touched up all of them actually, just incase! Totally tipped her again, excellent service.

I don’t know why this place has only 2 dollar signs. This place is expensive! I paid $ 76 (not including tip) for a full set and pedicure. And it wasn’t anything special either. Like, they didn’t do a bad job. Bout, I could’ve got the exact same thing for $ 30 cheeper somewhere else… Maybe I got ripped off???

Great service. Beautiful and welcoming place to get a mani/​pedi.
So cheap. I got the works for only $ 33. They had a gay pride special.
My feet and hands never looked so great.

Best pedicure I had in a long time. I was traveling for months and really needed a great pedicure — especially to remove the calluses. Helen (ask for her) was amazing. She was awesome about being thorough, communicated well and was meticulous. I highly recommend this spot.

My shellac mani looks beautiful :) It was quite empty since we went on a Tuesday around 2 pm (today actually), and the attendants were all very nice. The place was clean and the chairs were comfortable. I almost fell asleep honestly :)
I didn’t like the cuticle part though, it kind of hurt! And I am not sure how they could think they don’t need driers… my toenails got a bit messed when I left because I hadn’t originally planned to get my nails done and thus was not prepared with open toe shoes.
The sea salt massage/​scrub was heavenly, I was unaware it cost extra though (I never get pedis so I thought it might be included) so I thought that was a bit tricky.
It’s okay though! Overall good experience and I already got a compliment on my nails too :)
*Update* I don’t think I got Shellac, my nails usually stay strong with Shellac but with this polish my nails broke anyways. Also I think they should have put 3 layers on, not two.

Walk ins are welcome! This salon had a huge variety of Essie nail polish and comfortable massage chairs. It was very clean, all throughout the space. A mani/​pedi in the chair was $ 33! Massage, hot towels were all included and they were very quick! I felt a little rushed out of the salon, but I guess they needed the chair.
Make sure you have cash for tip, they don’t allow you to put tip on the credit card receipt.
