This review is ONLY for the Mani/Pedi service for $20. I have gotten other services done but feel they are overpriced. Pros: Price :) Cons: Pushy Sales people

BIKINI WAXERS BEWARE!! 11/2/2010

Ever heard of ""you get what you pay for""? Sure, $18 sounds pretty rad for a Brazilian wax, but wouldn't you rather pay a little more and not get a STAPH INFECTION?! I had been receiving waxes here twice a month for about 4 months. What I had believed to be really bad ingrowns, I now realize is a staph infection. They are VERY UNSANITARY! This was caused by bacteria around the workplace, not to mention the fact that they don't wipe you down with disinfectant before sending you on your way. OH, and thought you'd all like to know, THEY USE THE SAME WAX POT UNTIL THEY RUN OUT!!!!!! Which means, not only is that wax sitting there for two, three, maybe even four days in a row, but its the same wax they are using for the many vagina's that came within that 2-4 days. GROSS!!! Ladies, trust me when I tell you, it is worth paying the extra money for a good wax. I am now on antibiotics and between that and expenses for doctors visits (not to mention the pain I'm in) will far exceed anything that I ""saved"" from getting a cheap wax. DO NOT GO HERE FOR WAXING! more

Used to be better 2/3/2010

I've come here several times for mani-pedi, even brought out of town friends - my treat- and always felt it was clean and the workers were competant. Pros: Fast and cheap Cons: too fast - lately serivce has fallen off! more

Terrible job and very rude owner! 1/18/2010

Not only did I get a sloppy bumpy gel fill, but when i went to show the owner, Johnny, he was very defensive and unapologetic. He could have easily made the situation a lot less awkward were it not for his terrible customer service. they were very argumentative and tried to tell me that was the way my nails were supposed to look. also, they spoke in their native tongue in front of me, about me.....sooooo rude. i'm shocked at the way this easily fixable situation was poorly handled. don't waste your hard earned money at this overpriced place unless you want a poor job done and want to be treated like crap. Cons: bad customer service and poor job done on nails, overpriced more

Linda is the BEST at brazillian waxing!! 9/20/2009

I have been going to Linda for bikini and brazillian waxing for almost a year now. I refer her to everyone I know and several of my friends drive from Long Beach and the valley just to have her do their brazillians. She quick, painless (as painless as a full brazillian can be!) and very professional. The price is only $18! I highly highly recommend Linda! more

love this place for pedicures 7/13/2009

I do not need a pedi for 3-4 weeks when I go here. The polish does not chip :) Pros: fast, inexpensive, good quality Cons: crowded evenings & wknds - go during day if u can more

mediocre job 10/7/2008

I guess the appeal of this place is the price, but I agree with the other reviewers. It was rushed and a very cursory job. I wish I had done it myself and saved $20. But maybe just I'm spoiled by Bloomie's in NYC. more

$20 mani/pedi: worth the risk? 9/11/2008

OK so, you definitely cant beat a mani/pedi for $20 BUT its a little scary to go here. Ive chanced it maybe 3 times... they cut me every single time. The last time I went, the lady cut 4 different toes during my pedicure- I wish I was lying. The other scary part is, cleanliness is not their top priority. I ended up telling my manicurist not to even bother with my cuticles after I watched her take her clippers etc. out of a box CLEARLY marked ""dirty"" (again, I wish I was lying). Their top priority is actually getting clients in and out of there as fast as possible... and i mean fast. My nails and toes looked nice after leaving here but for me, its not worth the risk. I wont go back. more

I would not recommend this place if you are looking for quality, good sanitation, and competence. more

Great Price, No Frills 7/24/2008

You really can't beat the price. The salon is clean and efficient (maybe a little too efficient?) and you really can get in an out quickly. They have a lot of operators, and some are better than others, but for a $20 mani/pedi you really can't complain too much. You might get a perfunctory smile but more likely a brusque word or two from the operator. But at the end of the day you're really not there for the conversation. I see in some reviews that people got a hard sell for other services but I've never experienced that there and I've been going twice a month for years! The reason they are getting 4 stars rather than 5 is that they can sometimes be too quick and don't take the time to really make sure you're satisfied. Word to the wise: Friday is the busiest day there. more

What a deal for $20!! 6/20/2008

High pressure to buy additional services, would not take no for an answer, sub-par service 5/11/2008

Brought my girlfriend and her daughter for a manicure/pedicure. Service was extremely rushed. They tried to upsell multiple services, when girlfriend said no, they continued to pressure her to take more treatments. After receiving less than average manicure, proceeded to give 15% tip anyway. The attendant acted like she was offended at the tip. NOT RECOMMENDED!!! more

How can you go wrong w/ the price? 4/14/2008

I'm only reviewing for Hannah who I went to sooo many times for a Brazilian wax. I haven't gotten anything else done there. It's only $18 and she does a WONDERFUL job. Clean and thorough and most importantly, QUICK! Like 20 minutes tops. I feel I owe her a review since I've came to her time and time again. There's a bit of a language barrier but it caused no problems whatsoever. She's sucha sweet person. I always made sure to give her a 22% (or more) tip. Sadly the distance is too much for me and driving from Pasadena (I know, I'm crazy right?) is starting to feel like it's a little too ridiculous. I'm frantically searching in my own city for a place that comes close to this price w/o any scary experiences... (Not that I've had any yet) Pros: Price and Hannah's skill :) Cons: Distance (for me) more

Sang and her amazing pedicure skills! 2/14/2008

I came in with a black toe nail. My leg/foot shoot the next day was for a shoe company that specifically asked for clear nail polish. A technician named Sang did an amazing job. Sure it took 4 coats of ""surely ivory"" color to cover my toe and I endured some pointing when quite a few technicians came over to look at my black toenail, but she did an amazing job without a fuss. I will have to ask for her again to do my pedicure. I'm thinking red next time. Pros: $20 mani/pedi, fast, Sang!, walk ins welcome Cons: too fast for a good long ""Spa-like"" nail treatment more

ICK...this place is a nightmare! 5/14/2007

signed up for citysearch just to review this place... Cons: mostly everything more

simple, great nails 3/21/2007

Fast & inexpensive--$20 for a manicure/pedicure; $10 for eyebrow waxing. Very friendly staff. Pros: inexpensive, fast, no appointment needed Cons: sometimes a long wait; crowded more

quick and easy 11/9/2006

I always drop in here once a month to get my eyebrows waxed. They're always quick and thorough (sometimes a little too thorough, but good if you want your eyebrows a bit thinner) plus the price can't be beat. more

""My"" nail salon in Santa Monica 5/30/2006

I've had a good experiences here. It can be crowded (wait can be up to 1/2 hour on a busy day) but I think it's worth the wait. They have massage chairs for you to sit in if you get a mani/pedi. Prices are reasonable - $20 for mani/pedi, a few bucks more if you want your nails frenched or buffed. My friend had one once where a couple of her nails were shaped slightly crooked (they fixed it after she pointed it out) but aside from that, most of the technicians are great. They have always been friendly (although of course, they may chit chat about you in their native languages once in a while - it's funny when they find out you speak the same language too). If you want to host a birthday/bachelorette thing there, you can reserve chairs and bring your own champage. Pros: Reasonable price, Friendly Cons: Can have a wait more
