Quality Nails & Spa

I just moved to the area and found this place. I decided to go based off reviews. My first time wasn’t the best. After getting full set, the next day, they started lifting already. But I let it go and decided to come back three weeks later and try someone else. My second time coming was a walk in again and I was paired with Lily this time and she is the reason I’m leaving this review. I showed her the design I wanted and then showed her the lifting and if she could please do her best to make sure it doesn’t do that. She asked where I got them done and I told her here actually.. She shook her head and said “don’t worry honey I’ll take care of you. My way never does that!” And she in fact, did take care of me! She did everything so well, not to mention I noticed she kept her desk clean the entire time. She took her time with extra details, making my nails look super clean and professionally done. All in all, I love her. She’s the sweetest woman ever! You won’t be disappointed with Lily if you ask for her. She’s amazing and so adorable!

I’ve been coming to Quality Nails for a few years now. Prior to Mimi opening her new shop. Everyone is cross trained so I’ve never had a problem with seeing different techs. I highly recommend to family & friends!

My favorite nail shop in Long Beach! My friend recommended me this place and I’ve been coming here for about 4 years now. Finn always takes my inspo pictures and recreates them even better than I could hope for. He really takes his time to make sure every set is exactly what I want. When it comes to pedicures I always ask for Lee. She gets them done perfectly and quickly! The entire staff here is really friendly and they all do beautiful work. I do recommend making an appointment because they do tend to get busy especially on Friday and Saturday. Highly recommend this place!

Just SO bad. I saw positive review scores for this salon so came in on a Saturday an hour before closing to get dip. The woman was very clearly rushing to get through the service so resorted to improper removal, even trying to pry off my old dip residue with a plastic nail extension before I told her to stop and that I wanted to soak them off. She didn’t wrap each nail, just had me dunk my entire fingers in acetone. She then dipped my nails SIX rounds in the powder, quickly pressing any chunks in to smooth them out. I’ve gotten my nails dipped for over 5 years so red flags were waving, but she kept telling me it would be fine once she filed them down. They were not. They were lumpy and thick. Non-confrontational me was willing to suck it up and consider it a $61 ($50 dip, $1 credit card charge, $10 tip) lesson and a loss until the next morning when I woke up and in better light saw that in addition to the thickness they were also unevenly filed, my cuticle edges were a disaster, and the light blue color I had gotten was already fading into an ombré effect - white at my beds and much lighter blue toward the tips. I went back to the salon as soon as possible (Tuesday) and a man who I believe to be the manager “fixed” them for me. He kept insisting this is the color they were when I left, that he had asked me if I was ok with the color then, etc. - pretty much trying to gaslight me into thinking I was imagining a change and the manicure I had received wasn’t bad. He filed the top layer down and put the gel version of the color on top. I will admit the pigment of the gel is much better than the dip, but these nails are still thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, and somehow my edges are now worse. Should I have continued arguing with him about how this wasn’t a good service? Possibly. But I was already at the limit of my comfort in trying to rectify the situation, and a true professional would be able to recognize the issues and correct them properly. At the end of the day, I paid to be embarrassed of my nails and will find another salon to take them off and do them properly. Save yourself the time and trouble and go somewhere else for a dip. Photos show the first night, next morning fading, and final result.
