Designernailsstudio

This studio deserves all the love and more. They truly superseded my expectations. The care, creativity, and kindness here are unmatched. Henry has been designing nails for 20 years, and you can tell — he’s a true artist. Katy and George are so kind too! Every detail is intentional, and the work he creates is beyond beautiful. The whole team is so warm and welcoming, and you can feel how much pride they put into their business. If you’re looking for a place that goes above and beyond and actually cares about their clients, this is it. I’m officially obsessed and will be recommending them to everyone! 💕

I got a Gel X manicure with Henry and couldn’t be happier! He was so attentive, creative, and professional throughout the whole process. He really took the time to help me choose the best design, and the end result is absolutely perfect—I love my nails! Highly recommend Henry if you’re looking for someone with both skill and artistry.

Henry and Katy were amazing. They really took care of me and did a fantastic job with my nails. They fit me in at the last minute, too, which was amazing. I am in love with the silver star design Henry created. Can’t wait to go back for a fun Halloween design in a couple of weeks.

Henry is the best! I've gone to at least 6 different nail salons wanting nail art, which led to 4 hour nail appointments and nails I wasn't satisfied with. I came to Henry with ideas of what I wanted, and he quickly made recommendations from there! Henry works so quickly with such high quality and dedication to his art. He's so easy to talk to and bubbly - he makes it so easy to trust his recommendations. You know you are in great hands ^•^

I recently moved to Studio City and I was trying to find a new nail salon close to my house and one that was not as expensive as another salon I had recently visited. It turned out to be a mistake... you clearly get what you pay for. I'd like to start with the only positive - the people that work there were all very nice. But I should've trusted my instincts, because it was very difficult to even secure an appointment over the phone. And I have to say this was the most painful, messiest, and worse gel manicure and pedicure I have ever had. And I have been to many different establishments in Los Angeles and Orange County so that's saying a lot. I'm also someone who rarely writes reviews and almost never speaks up, but I don't want anyone else to have the experience that I had. When the technician was removing my gel from my previous manicure, she was using the electric file which got so hot that I had to tell her multiple times that it was painful and burning my nails. She went so deep that the tops of my nails were worn down, and red. She also cut my skin around my nails several times with the electric file. When she filed my nails they all looked like different shapes, some pointier, some rounder and the "point" was off center on several of them. She told me that I needed to put my nails in the UV light two or three times for each coat of gel. I've never had any other nail salon ask me to put them in so many times to make sure they're dry. Every coat was messier than the last. I finally just gave up on trying to ask her to make adjustments. My pedicure wasn't any better, it was also painful, there was no massage, just callous remover, which I had to ask for... And I could've done a better job painting my toenails myself. It all felt like a waste of time and money. And it wasn't cheap... it was $92 plus tip. Easy to say that it was my first and last time going there.
