So I have only been here once, but this place definitely has the wow factor and the skills to back it up. So after seeing numerous check ins from yelp friends, and a few reads of reviews, I decided to visit Hollywood nails.. I came hoping not to have to but prepared to wait since it was a Saturday morning. I walked in only an hour after they opened to find that they were already packed downstairs, luckily I was getting gel nails so I was told to head up the steps. So when you first go in you realize the is a redone house, a big one.. you walk in there is a large room to your left a large room to you right, nail stations, pedicure chairs, and nail polish all around you. I didn't explore to much downstairs other than a quick once over... I went upstairs and passed two rooms (converted bedrooms) into the huge master and I was in shock at the amount of polish this this place has, I went to check in saw another room with filled with pedicure chairs.. I was told to pick my color... seriously I didn't even know where to start.. But as I looked the sign said something like you aren't ready until you select your color, since it didn't seem too busy up there I didn't want to spend too much time looking and have a rush come in before me luckily something jumped out at me fairly quickly. I advised her what I chose, she advised me to have a seat. Since they have so much polish, they have a numbered system with their polish, they have the gel polish with the corresponding regular polish for their same match selections. They have obviously been in business for a while or have at least paid enough attention to know what works, they have quite a few systems to minimize wait times and maximize efficiency. They have a ton of workers those doing nails, those fetching needed items for those doing nails and wiping down stations between customers, they seem extremely efficient. After a fairly short wait, much shorter than I anticipated, I was paired with Chi who started on my nails, she asked if I wanted to cut my nails down, which I did because they were uneven, she cut them to a perfect length and began her work, she explained just gel was 20 with the manicure was 25 I opted for the manicure, I needed it anyway, I'm glad I did my cuticles were out of control, and she tamed them without a pinch or a cut which I experience during my last manicure elsewhere, I walked out bleeding on 3 fingers -_-... I did not experience that here, at all, it was very relaxing. I had selected two colors and had actually saw another as I was sitting down so we toyed with how to incorporate the three.. Chi was very helpful, and they turned out great. On to my pedicure, I was a little defeated when I got up and realized there were no pedicure chairs available, I wondered how long the wait would be but Chi walked me into the room and through a door which led to a hall with 2 additional rooms with 3 chairs each... WOW like seriously how big is this place... we walked to the empty 2nd room and she started my water, within 5 mins the other two chairs filled up. Chi set the chair to massage settings and adjusted the seat for me. The pedicure was very relaxing, I had the color match options to go with my gel nails. I missed my mini hot stone massage, but not too much it wasn't worth the price I was paying compared to here. After the massage I was lead back into the room where I got my nails done to dry my feet. I paid, stayed a few cycles and left. On the way out, going downstairs I noticed it was even more packed and there were actually people waiting outside. I guess everyone must already know about this place, I will definitely be back, they have my business! Read Less
