Amazing! Five star service. Lovely environment. Clean and fast. I made an appointment for 3:45 and was seen at that time. Sam did my pedicure and it is the prettiest pedicure. I would book days in advance. There is high demand for this type of excellent service. They are opening up a salon in Monroeville on June 15 so should give me more options. They book up fast! It’s a miracle I even got a pedicure there. Sorry for the shoddy picture.

My nails are always perfect and I get so many compliments. The icing on the cake is the friendliness of the staff. They definitely keep me coming back! Karen is amazing and especially good with natural nails.

Julia did my nails. Amazing artist and precise manicure details. Used a "dry manicure" tool, which comes standard, to clean my nails and give it a polished overall look. They look perfect!

What a fantastic salon, owner, and crew of nail techs. LaLa's is hip, clean, fun, and all things girly! It was a pleasure to have my nails done here!

Karen and Lex did these beautiful nails. It was my first experience with artificial nails and Lex talked me through what she was doing, asked for my feedback along the way, and was super detailed in making sure all my nails were the same length and shape. The salon was clean and only let a certain number of people in at a time. I will be back!
