Nail 45,

21608 Ventura Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 91364

"I ended up at this salon because my Nail Artist moved to this location. I adore her, and will continue to follow her wherever she goes. The staff at Nail 45 are very nice, the front desk person is very friendly and understanding. The parking area is super limited, and the 2 hour meter parking can be difficult to find. Overall, the parking is REALLY tricky. The nail salon itself is very basic, and can be very loud."

"It really is 50/50, depending on who makes your nails. I went several times and had nice men each time, the nails are not always straight or perfect but it’s decent. This time: AWFUL. The man was super aggressive, twisting my fingers in ways they don’t even bend (I broke them a while ago and they hurt). I showed him discomfort several times and told him he was hurting me, still no behaviour adjustment. Felt rushed, didn’t ask me to wash my hands after filing them, went straight with nail polish. Didn’t put nail polish at the tip so they look already used. I still have some gel stuck on my skin, he was very clumsy. At the end, he asked me if I wanted cuticule serum, added like 3 drops total and left. I had to massage them in. The front desk person tried to make it right and I appreciate that, but maybe just tell your personnel that we come here to feel good and pretty, I left in pain and frustrated."

"One of the best nail experiences. Well done, place was bright and breezy. Would come again."

"My first visit at Nail 45 was very enjoyable! I was greeted right away and advised how long to expect my wait to be. First thing I noticed was how sanitary their approach seems. You are asked to wash your hands when you first walk in, before you start touching all the nail polish bottles, and they were spraying and wiping down everything when customers moved from chair to chair. I got a gel manicure by Ben who was lovely! He was helpful when I told him the wrong color and very detail oriented, cleaning the edges of my nails with every layer of polish. Gel Manicures are $35 plus I paid $3 extra for two base coats of strengthening polish. Mimi did my pedicure and also did a wonderful job! The standard pedicure with Mimi included cut & filed my nails to my liking, cut down cuticles, exfoliated my feet and legs, pumiced my heels and the standard quick massage with lotion, finished with a quick hot stone massage. If I lived closer I’d be coming back all the time!"
