They do good work but they're not willing to help if you want to branch out and try something new. I've been coming here for years and have always been happy with a standard mani/pedi + quick waxing service which is a plus. I recently wanted to try something new (chrome, literally just chrome), was told no, was asked what color chrome without being shown their options, and was honestly just made to feel bad and feel like an inconvenience for not knowing what chrome option I wanted or how exactly it worked. It was humiliating and embarrassing the way I had to fight and go back and forth with them without anyone being willing to look at my inspiration photo or give me a recommendation, so I personally won't be returning because of how I was made to feel over a simple ask.
TLDR: they do solid work, but you need to know what you want and how to achieve it. Not the place for client education or working together to achieve your nail goals. Come prepared, and maybe they'll be able to keep your business, unlike mine.
I have been living in LA for the past 9 years and Nail Nation is my absolute favorite. It never disappoints. Michelle is an ANGEL!!! And the best. My nails look perfect every single time. She helped me grow out my natural nails which I never thought I’d be able to do and she has taken the best care of me. Her shaping is perfection and I’m normally very picky. Nail nation is the absolute best and my favorite in the city. Can’t say enough good things. Love Michelle and the nail nation team so much!!!

i have been coming here regularly for a while. The first manicure i had here was pretty basic, but i did come back to give them a chance and get gels instead of regular polish. wow, what a difference, every aspect of the gel manicure is expertly done, every time . Everyone here so far in my gel experience has been superb, but i just love LOI, he is a doll, so cute and sweet. highly recommended this place.

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.

I stopped by Nail Nation Melrose for a gel pedicure with a paraffin mask to help remove calluses and decided to get a matching regular polish manicure on my natural nails. I absolutely loved my experience here! 💅 The space was so clean, bright, and welcoming it had such a relaxing vibe from the moment I walked in. I was a walk-in and they took me in right away, which I really appreciated.
The nail technicians were gentle, detail oriented, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. They have so many gorgeous colors to choose from, and my nails turned out perfect! On top of that, the prices are very affordable, especially for the quality of service you get.
Overall, such a lovely spot to treat yourself, I’ll definitely be coming back! 💖

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).
