Client Testimonials

"My new favorite nail salon. Just moved to WeHo and found this gem. Affordable and good energy. Michelle is very talented and I love that she’s honest about what she think will or won’t look best. I usually get gel x, gel ped, and recently started getting a gel x big toenail to get the perfect square shape. She has done great on them all and adjusts to my picky liking lol. I get compliments on my nails all the time. I have enjoyed experimenting with different designs and love that she humors me and gives them a try 😝 and she’s quick. Highly suggest! Red French nails were $85 before tip. Gold design nails: $130 bt. Holographic pedi: $70 bt."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Nail Nation LA Review I recently visited Nail Nation Spa on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a clean, stylish, and welcoming space. The salon has a relaxing vibe and is clearly well-maintained — definitely one of the more upscale-feeling spots in the area. They offer a full menu of services, including manicures, pedicures, Gel-X extensions, acrylics, dip powder, waxing, and even eyelash extensions. I got a Gel-X manicure and a pedicure, and both were top-notch. The attention to detail was amazing, and the results were flawless. Michelle, my nail tech, was incredibly skilled and friendly, and made sure I was happy with every step of the process. What really sets Nail Nation apart is the customer service. Everyone on staff was professional, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about creating a great experience. It's also great to see a place that accepts everyone."

"Always the the best Halloween experience at Nail Nation LA! I went in for Gel X nails with a spooky theme, and they totally exceeded my expectations per usual. The nail techs were so detailed and creative. Michelle knew exactly what I wanted. She helped me pick designs that matched my costume inspiration perfectly. I went with a red and white theme. The Gel X nails feel super light and durable, and the colors are so vibrant. The colors really pop. I am thrilled with how they turned out. Everyone keeps complimenting me!

"So glad I found Nail Nation. The combination of a beautiful aesthetic and high professional standards makes this my new favorite spot. Snow truly saved my nails after a different salon completely botched my last set. I arrived with bulky Gel X extensions that were uneven and lacked the proper shape. Snow was incredibly patient as she removed the old product and applied a fresh set of Gel X extensions that look both elegant and natural. She has a remarkable eye for symmetry and ensured the thickness was perfectly balanced. ​Her cuticle work was meticulous and the entire atmosphere of the salon was very professional. Since this location is on Melrose, I was worried about the logistics, but I actually found convenient parking on a nearby side street without any trouble. I am so relieved to have found a technician I can trust. If you need high quality work, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Snow."

"I've been coming to Nail Nation for about 2 years now. I keep returning #1 because of the service and #2 MICHELLE. She's the sassiest little vietnamese woman you'd ever meet! She's direct and a straight shooter but everything she says is with love and deep down she's a sweetheart. All of her customers are returning and adore her! She runs the shop like a true queen. The wait is never too longer. She's great at multi-tasking! You can be honest with her about your nails. She'll do the upmost to accommodate you so you leave happy & satisfied. Of all the nail shops on Melrose- Nail Nation should be your #1 choice. Love her down (though she's standing over me as I write this review lol)"

"Michelle was incredible! It was my first time getting my nails done in LA and my first time getting nail art and I was so impressed! She was so kind and did such a fast job too. Only 30-40 minutes! I recommend this to anyone."

Verified Client

"I've been going to Nail Nation for almost two years and will be coming back as long as they're open! I literally carry their business cards in my purse to give to people because I get so many compliments on their work, and my out of town friends have used their designs as inspo for their own sets. Not only do I love the art, but Michelle recommended hard gel after I told her about my frequent breaks & generally thin/weak nails, and I will never get anything else-- my nails are now so long and healthy, I can't believe it, and on the rare occasion one breaks, she can always fix it perfectly. I also don't have very good hearing, so communicating with nail techs has always been a struggle, but they're patient with me and Michelle especially always nails it even if I'm not 100% sure what I want. Last time I moved, distance from Nail Nation was a serious consideration for me & my roommate! Can't recommend highly enough 🥰"

Verified Client

"I’m a regular at Nail Nation and have been for a couple of years now. Michelle and Victor do an amazing job of always making sure I have the best experience.

"Visiting LA for a long weekend and so glad I picked Nail Nation Spa LA. Snagged a same-day gel manicure + classic pedicure and they sat me right on time. Bright space, organized, and it smells clean not chemical. Requested style Asked for a November, LA-fall vibe short/medium almond, cozy but polished. Michelle nailed it: a micro-French with warm cinnamon-brown tips over a sheer milky base, plus a subtle sweater-knit accent on my ring fingers. Toes in deep plum (perfect with boots). Thin, even application with crisp lines and a glossy finish. Specialties • Seasonal nail art that’s tasteful sweater texture, tortoiseshell, leaf foils, micro-French nothing bulky. • Shape & cuticle work is meticulous no flooding, no over-filing. • Structured/strength gel overlays for dry, peeling nails (hello, Santa Ana season). • Color library packed with neutrals, mochas, rusts, and chrome. Michelle swatched under both warm and daylight lamps so the shade looked right outside too. Seasonal theme (what I picked) • Palette: maple, caramel, cinnamon, deep plum pairs with trench coats, scarves, and gold jewelry. • Accent: one sweater-knit nail per hand textured but snag-free. • Pro tip: ask for “micro-French cinnamon” if you want the same look elegant, office-friendly, very November in LA. Cleanliness Spotless. Tools came out of sealed pouches, fresh files/buffers, disposable pedicure liners, surfaces wiped between clients, techs wore gloves. Pedicure jets disinfected before I sat; restroom was clean too. Stylist: Michelle Michelle listened, checked length/shape before polishing, matched tones to my skin without upselling, and gave solid aftercare (cuticle oil nightly, gloves for dishes). Suggested a two-week refresh if I want to carry the look into the holidays. Extras & tips • Booking: online is easy—reserve ahead, weekends get busy. • Payment: clear pricing; tap-to-pay works. • Parking: metered street parking—give yourself 5–10 minutes (meter app helps). • Longevity: 12 days in no chips, just a little grow-out. If you want a cozy, fall in LA manicure that still reads polished and professional, book Michelle and try the micro-French cinnamon + sweater accent. I’ll be back next trip. Per person spend: $115 before tip ($138 with a 20% tip)."

"I can’t begin to explain my sincere love and appreciation for this business. I’ve been coming here for 7 years and am never disappointed. Both Victor and Michelle have always welcomed me with charismatic and loving arms (mixed with a bit of sarcasm because I’m always late to my appointments). I’ve seen their children grow. I’ve met their in laws. They open up about their struggles in their business and they rejoice their good days with me. They truly make you feel like you are apart of their family. But not just that. The service is excellent. I’ve been to many salons near and far and always find joy when I get to come home to people that care about my nails, skin, and overall health. Thank you nail nation for being amazing. (P.S. Snow does the best pedicure ever, always ask for her)"

"I've been going to Nail Nation for almost two years and will be coming back as long as they're open! I literally carry their business cards in my purse to give to people because I get so many compliments on their work, and my out of town friends have used their designs as inspo for their own sets. Not only do I love the art, but Michelle recommended hard gel after I told her about my frequent breaks & generally thin/weak nails, and I will never get anything else-- my nails are now so long and healthy, I can't believe it, and on the rare occasion one breaks, she can always fix it perfectly. I also don't have very good hearing, so communicating with nail techs has always been a struggle, but they're patient with me and Michelle especially always nails it even if I'm not 100% sure what I want. Last time I moved, distance from Nail Nation was a serious consideration for me & my roommate! Can't recommend highly enough 🥰"

"My new favorite nail salon. Just moved to WeHo and found this gem. Affordable and good energy. Michelle is very talented and I love that she’s honest about what she think will or won’t look best. I usually get gel x, gel ped, and recently started getting a gel x big toenail to get the perfect square shape. She has done great on them all and adjusts to my picky liking lol. I get compliments on my nails all the time. I have enjoyed experimenting with different designs and love that she humors me and gives them a try 😝 and she’s quick. Highly suggest! Red French nails were $85 before tip. Gold design nails: $130 bt. Holographic pedi: $70 bt."

"Michelle is just so amazing!! Came here for the first time in December and have been a loyal customer ever since. I love how efficient they are when doing my nails and feet, they get me in and out even on the weekends. Clean work and clean beautiful place. I have experienced everyone’s work here and they all do a phenomenal job. Michelle also does my eyebrows and slays every time . Don’t walk, Run and get you your nails and feet done here."

"UPDATE - I didn’t think my nails could be any better and then Victor crushed it with the airbrush. Like I said, my favorite salon in LA by far!! Cannot recommend this the salon more!! Always very clean, and I love the staff. Can make appointments or walk-in, and doesn’t feel cramped. AND I get my lash extensions done here. Overall, 100/10 would recommend."

"Best nail tech in the city! I come here every month ever since I moved to LA. Michelle and her whole team are just the best! Not only with their work but also with their personalities. I’m literally obsessed. 😍 Big recommendations!"

Verified Client

"I’ve been going here for almost a year now and I love it. Everyone is kind and welcoming even if they’re not your nail tech. The shop is clean and roomy. And it’s right on Melrose close to shopping and restaurants when you’re done! Also, Michelle is the best nail tech I’ve ever had! She is fast and her sets last for at least 3 weeks. I switch off between gel and gel extensions and my nails are always healthy and strong. Definitely recommend! Check out my Halloween nails 😍"

"Visiting LA for a long weekend and so glad I picked Nail Nation Spa LA. Snagged a same-day gel manicure + classic pedicure and they sat me right on time. Bright space, organized, and it smells clean not chemical. Requested style Asked for a November, LA-fall vibe short/medium almond, cozy but polished. Michelle nailed it: a micro-French with warm cinnamon-brown tips over a sheer milky base, plus a subtle sweater-knit accent on my ring fingers. Toes in deep plum (perfect with boots). Thin, even application with crisp lines and a glossy finish. Specialties • Seasonal nail art that’s tasteful sweater texture, tortoiseshell, leaf foils, micro-French nothing bulky. • Shape & cuticle work is meticulous no flooding, no over-filing. • Structured/strength gel overlays for dry, peeling nails (hello, Santa Ana season). • Color library packed with neutrals, mochas, rusts, and chrome. Michelle swatched under both warm and daylight lamps so the shade looked right outside too. Seasonal theme (what I picked) • Palette: maple, caramel, cinnamon, deep plum pairs with trench coats, scarves, and gold jewelry. • Accent: one sweater-knit nail per hand textured but snag-free. • Pro tip: ask for “micro-French cinnamon” if you want the same look elegant, office-friendly, very November in LA. Cleanliness Spotless. Tools came out of sealed pouches, fresh files/buffers, disposable pedicure liners, surfaces wiped between clients, techs wore gloves. Pedicure jets disinfected before I sat; restroom was clean too. Stylist: Michelle Michelle listened, checked length/shape before polishing, matched tones to my skin without upselling, and gave solid aftercare (cuticle oil nightly, gloves for dishes). Suggested a two-week refresh if I want to carry the look into the holidays. Extras & tips • Booking: online is easy—reserve ahead, weekends get busy. • Payment: clear pricing; tap-to-pay works. • Parking: metered street parking—give yourself 5–10 minutes (meter app helps). • Longevity: 12 days in no chips, just a little grow-out. If you want a cozy, fall in LA manicure that still reads polished and professional, book Michelle and try the micro-French cinnamon + sweater accent. I’ll be back next trip. Per person spend: $115 before tip ($138 with a 20% tip)."
