Yessi's Beauty
2025-09-07I want to start of with the workers here being friendly because genuinely they were from the beginning to the end of the service. Only thing I would say is that if you want quality nails that will last maybe go somewhere else or go with the older gentleman. I went here and the lady was welcoming but she was doing my nails so fast and I feel like the job was done whatever. Also underneath my gel x nails there are holes in between and when I asked her if she can do the nails I showed her she said yes at first but then once it came to painting , I had to change things around because either she mentioned she couldn’t or she doesn’t have the color. I just wished she would have been honest. Also the place was quite dirty, boxes and nail supplies had stains. If you want quality nails that will last try somewhere else.

2025-10-25I've been here before and was very happy with the service but today I took my daughter and did not like the way the nails came out. The thumbs came out chunky and also I ended up paying $60 for mediocre nails which i only wanted french tip short length acrylic. I'm going to have to go somewhere else tomorrow to see if they can fix them better and pay more. Also the tech was stubborn about getting gel which we didn't want and ended up getting too.

2025-03-16If you’re looking for a friendly and welcoming nail salon, Paula’s Nails Salon is the place to go! They offer both appointments and walk-ins, making it super convenient. What I love most is how they treat their older community with so much care. My mom drives all the way from Bartlow, California, just to get her ingrown nails taken care of and enjoy their relaxing massage services—she often falls asleep during it! The staff is incredibly friendly, and they truly make you feel at home. Highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for top-notch service and a comforting experience!
