Been coming here for 5-6yrs and have never found any better place for BRAZILIAN wax!!! I love Ana's ability to wax and to make the pain feel easy and quick to handle ;) she is the best!!!!! And of course besides waxing she obviously does nails like no other! Her whole staff is awesome and they do a wonderful job! Book an appointment as it could get pretty busy for being the best in town! I Highly recommend it Read Less

Queen Nails seated me in a spa chair right away to get started on my service, a fill and standard pedicure. Looking around, the business is clean and bright, with TV's to watch. I was a little leery at first, because the manicurist gave an unmistakable and disapproving look at my nails and made a comment to her coworker in her native language that didn't sound very nice. Given my past experiences with bad nail shops, I braced myself for what may have been another disappointing experience.The nail tech gave me a manicure in addition to my fill, which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The woman who did my pedicure was detailed and made sure her work was flawless. I forgot to get their names, they did a good job. They have loyal and established customers with standing appointments and I can see why. They asked each other about their holiday plans and how their children were doing, which is always good in building relationships and trust with people who perform personal services to your skin, hands, feet, hair, etc. I paid $52 for the fill and pedicure, which I feel is a little pricey. Demographically speaking, their prices are probably on par for the area and clientele. As far as payment goes, it's cash or credit card, plus tip. For debit cards, you have to pay additional charges in $5 increments to pay your bill. Not sure why their POS is set up that way, but it made me uncomfortable and confused. I can understand the service charge of $1 to use your card, it's the extra and unnecessary "fees" that were annoying. Read Less

The ladies who work there work hard and take pride in their jobs, it shows in the quality of what they do. The lady I was with was friendly, and engaging in conversation. I would recommend this place, but only if you're paying cash, and this is the reason for my 3 stars. I'm very happy with my nails I handed over my card to pay for the services, signed the receipt and hurried on my way. A couple of days later I'm looking at the receipt and it reads "ATM Withdrawal". There was a $1 service charge tacked on for using my card, which was not explained when I paid, plus the service fees from my bank for using a "non-branch ATM". If I go back (because I don't like in CA) I will only pay cash at this establishment. Read Less

This is the second time Mai at Queen Nails has done the dip nail process for me. Both times I've loved her service! She is quick, efficient and does great work. I will happily continue to utilize Queen Nails over the surrounding competition due to the quality of work and diversity of services offered! Read Less

If you want a pedicure, you may be in luck. If you want a fill-in, not so much.  I sat through six people coming in to get a pedicure and they all didn't have appointments.  It was so bad that the people coming in off of the street and immediately sitting in the pedicure chair started to apologise to me.  That is how blatant it was!!???!!!! Finally, in the last 40 minutes before closing, the manager/owner did my nails.  Not sure what that was, but I ain't got time for that!!! Seems like there could have been a way to squeeze me in. Oh well, I am sure I can find a quicker salon elsewhere. Read Less

Love this place!It's right around the corner of my house and very convenient to just walk here and back home. I've been coming here for the 6 years I've lived in El Segundo and have always had a pleasant experience. They have watched my daughter grow up right before their eyes and every time I bring her they're all great to her. Ann runs a tight ship so do let her know if something isn't right. Mai is the absolute best! BUT if she's not available, any of the other ladies here can take care of you just as well. Read Less

Avoid going anywhere near closing time. I went in on a Saturday, probably around 4, with one of my friends and we both decided to get full set acrylics. They close at 5 and it was blatantly obvious that they were rushing to get out of there. The women doing my nails argued with me over how long MY nails should be. Both me and my friend had chunks of acrylic around our cuticles and the sides of our nails, my nails were way too thick and were not shaped the way that I asked. We both smeared our polish on the way out because we couldn't stand to sit an wait while being swept around. I ended up going over to the Nail Garden a day later to have them fixed. Read Less

Went today for the first time. Noticed they didn't clean the equipment they used between each client. Manicurist then made my cuticle bleed. Not to mean they were quick to push me to the side when a new client came in. Read Less

I was in El Segundo and visited Queen Nails on Father's Day to have a Mani/Pedi done.  I opted for Gel Nails which ended up bubbling and then chipping over the course of a week.  The Pedi polish has already begun to chip too!  Unfortunately, Anna - the owner was the manicurist.  The included massage was roughly done and hurt.  She just seemed very preoccupied and rushed.  Plus, at the end of the $70 experience she just built in her own tip on my credit card, and then I was charged a service charge on top of that.  I was not impressed with Queen Nails and will return to my own salon in Orange County.

First off, my mani/pedi only lasted 2 days! That is just a rip off. I suspect it's because they kept adding drops of something to the polish to make it last, even though I asked to rather use a different one. So sick of nail salons like this being too cheap to just buy new polish when one runs out. It results in thin, crappy product and a crappy mani/pedi that doesn't last. On top of it, I got a non-Wells Fargo ATM fee for paying with my credit card. Had I been informed I would get an additional charge, I would have happily paid cash. The one other time I went here the lady gave herself a $10 tip on my card I later realized for my $30 purchase, although I asked to give a $6 tip. Shady, bad experience both times. For the many nails salon choices out there, do yourself a favor and pick another one. I won't be back. Read Less

I am a consistent customer for over 3+ years. I would highly recommend Queen Nails to any new customer. I feel their prices are consistent with the industry and have been very satisfied with mani / Pedi's. I have just started with the Gel Nails and over the last 3 weeks have not had a problem.  After 3 more weeks we are giving my nails a rest. The salon is very clean and although they do talk among themselves, It is general conversation and not discussing the customers. I have a manicurist that I use consistently and do call ahead to get an appointment. It is nice the salon is open 7 days a week. Day time hours are best as evenings do get crowded. I come prepared with cash for payment.I would definitely recommend Queen Nails. Read Less

Im a local. And I have come here so many times to get my nails done. Never had a problem and the ladies here do a great job. The reason I am giving a somewhat bad review is because I came in on Saturday and got my nails done, full set acrylics. She was about to put on the gel color and decided she wanted to clip my cuticles, and she literally cut my skin on every finger. Both thumbs and both index fingers were bleeding and now are scabbed. One of my thumbs hurts so bad I can't even button my sons onesies without being is so much discomfort. And my nails are bumpy and not smooth. And the shape was not what I was looking for. And I even think I paid more for this shape which is nothing close to the shape I wanted. I paid 50 bucks with a 10 dollar tip. I'm kinda sad because this was the owner of the salon who did my nails. So I probably won't come back to this salon. I hope I don't get an infection because this salon will be in trouble. I have my cosmetology license and I know that you are by law not allowed to clip the cuticle because this could happen and infection could accrue. Read Less
