Le My’s Salon

Great first experience, got a gel mani and pedi in about an hour! Very reasonable pricing and I love that everything is clean. They have plastic around the tub that they replace after every use and the tools are sterilized! I would suggest to make an appt so that you don’t have to wait, I went as soon as they opened to avoid the madness, but I’m sure they get super busy. I will be back!

My Favorite Nail Shop in all of Downey!!!
Always great service, friendly smiles, and excellent work! I love my girl Monica, she always does an outstanding job and my gels last over 4 weeks. I’ve been coming here for about 3 yrs now and I never leave disappointed. They truly take their time with each customer and always leave me satisfied. I would recommend that you come in with an appointment. I have never seen this place empty and if you walk in you usually wait over 1hr or sometimes they’ll have to tell you they have no time to take you in.
Thank you for all the amazing years of great service!!! I always get compliments on my nails and always refer them your way!

Been a customer for years and they had quality work when the old owner Tanya was there. Now there’s another owner who seems all about money instead of pleasing their customer. They’ve had a big turn over in employees and it’s just not the same. Was there a few weeks ago and spent money on a gel needless to say it was a waste. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I absolutely fell in love with this place during my first visit! I got a gel manicure and basic pedicure. Staff took their time and were incredibly meticulous with my nails. I was there for about an hour and 45 minutes but it’s so worth it! They make sure that the work is perfect. You cannot beat their prices either.

They have a sign saying «walk-​ins welcome» but when I walked in asking for a fill they said they couldn’t do it today even though they only had two customers in there. Will not be coming here again.

Went in yesterday for a gel mani and regular pedi. Was an older lady so we had some difficulty understanding each other. I wanted a nude color with black tip. I sat on that chair literally for about 2 hours and still went home with an ugly pedicure. I went to work the next day. I hated the color so I decided to stop by and get the color switched. As I am taking my shoe off I noticed the black tip came off one of my toes. They were confused why I was switching the color but they ultimately did. I ended up paying additional money for the switching of the color even though the tip was coming off.

I have been getting my nails done at Le My’s salon for about four years now. I’ve the years many people have come and gone but this place has a propensity for hiring very skilled nail techs.
Today JC did my gel manicure and he attention to detail made for a perfect manicure. Not only are cuticles and nails clean and even, but my gel was applied beautifully as well. One of my nails bubbled up a tiny bit and JC fixed it without a problem.

This is my second time getting a Gel Manicure, and it looks amazing! The staff is super friendly and takes their time.
I loved the fact that they don’t rush their work. They do get busy so make sure to call it’s worth the wait! Bryan does an amazing job,
Thank you!

I came here the day before thanksgiving so it was pretty busy. I walked in without an appointment and well it took some time (longer than expected) the girl who did my nails was good she digged in and cleaned my nails well. Now the nail polish seems to be coming off already and its only been less than a week so service is not bad but I guess nail polish might be cheap. I’ll keep looking, not my favorite place but would come back as a last min run.

Made an appointment for today for Mani and Pedi and honestly couldn’t be happier! It’s clean and love that they take their time. I’m in love with my gel mani! It’s been awhile since I’ve this happy.

Finally found my nail salon. I came here just for a gel manicure… I wanted to try them out before even going as far as a pedicure. They have a good environment, clean and organized. They never once tried to up sell or pressure me, I did not have an appointment and they still treated me just as if I had. I waited less than 10 minutes and my manicure artist really took her time which is something I appreciate. Her name was JC I think. This place is classy, friendly, and I loved the gel manicure with the oil hand massage and lotion. Definitely gained a new and returning customer.

I love this place. I’ve been coming here a couple of months and happy I finally found a place that does what I ask and take their time it gets very busy so I suggest to call for an appt. Nice clean place.

Probably the best gel mani and gel pedi I’ve gotten in a long while. Thank you Susan! This place is pretty far from my house but I was visiting a friend and I felt like this place was worth the good review. The salon is extremely clean and well kept. The massage chairs are new and good quality, the restrooms were clean, the floors were clean and the tools/​towels were clean. I love getting nude gel colors but I’m really picky about the shade. Luckily, this place had tons of gel options so I found the perfect color. Susan took her time on both the mani and pedi and I felt like I was being pampered. She’s so sweet and gentle and she gave a great massage. Thanks again Susan!

My 2^nd visit and they continue to exceed my expectations.
They have friendly customer service and keep the location clean. They also open a tool set for every client which adds to the cleanliness factor.
I would highly recommend Mindy. Jimmy was also very thorough and did a good job with a previous pedicure. They both do a great job at figuring out what it is you want when you yourself aren’t too sure!
I would highly recommend this place. Plus, they’re competitive in their pricing.
(Gel manicure: $ 21, Regular Pedicure: $ 16)

This is the first time I come to this nail salon and overall my experience was a good one. I selected 3 stars due to the fact that my left hand (middle finger nail) was crooked… I didn’t realize it when I was there and that it totally my fault, however the crooked nail is pretty noticeable and I am now stuck with it until I need a fill.
One of the things I liked about this place was how they honor appointments! I have had bad experiences with other nail salons that overbook appointments but this place was nothing like that. I called during the day and scheduled my appt at 5:30pm, I arrived about 10 minutes earlier and was seated within 5 minutes!
I am going to give this place another shot when I need my fills and I will definitely pay attention to avoid another crooked nail!

okay. here’s my who-​knows-​how-​many nail salon review.
in the lieu of many food reviews i’ll switch gears to my second love, nails. i’ve been going to tip to toe nail salon in downey, about 2.5 miles away and i’ve run out of love, but NOT the place for that here (look at my update there).
so i found this place when a friend of mine had a BAD nail fiasco. really bad, it looked like a kid did her gel mani, eek. so being the great friend i am, and that i needed a new gel mani asap because mine was chipping and having discoloration (wtf right?), i decided to find a place.
ding, ding, ding, this is where Le My’s helped me out.
did a walk in and it was decently filled, but we were sat down with no appointment on a thursday afternoon with a wait of 5 mins. Much color options to pick from and they take off the old gels with good old soaking in acetone, foil, and cotton. MOST salons i’ve been to take it off with a drill and i hate it. damages all the nails i’ve been trying to grow out…
she took her time, checked every nail accordingly and it was so exact! no bubbles, no uneven distribution, none on my skin, wow. it took almost an hour but was worth it for only $ 22! a steal since i’ve paid more at other places with less quality work! i will frequent here more often for my plain gel mani’s.
here’s a TL;DR.
— good service, everyone is friendly
— attention to detail, they take their time
— many options
— moderate pricing
–parking is a little hard so come 10 mins early
— book an appointment!!! (i just got lucky i think)
— cash tip only.

They get busy on the weekends so make an appointment. I was one of the many that tried walking in and was asked to come at a later time in the day. Even then when I had come back people were still walking in and asked to come later on.
Some girls have acrylics ²⁴⁄₇. Some girls never had acrylics. I was one of those until I woke up one day and wanted those pointy nails but didn’t have the length for it so acrylics would be the only way to go. I came here for them. Since I didn’t have an appointment I was asked to come a few hours later which I did but then still had to wait 30 more minutes. If they’re going to be too busy to take a customer, just let them know. More people started coming and it wasn’t until all the waiting chairs were taken that they decided to let everyone else know that they were too busy to take them.
The acrylics + gel took about an hour and a half. It takes some getting used to functioning with long acrylics. The guy was nice and said if they were too long then I can come back in 2 days when he’s working so that he can make them shorter for no charge. I didn’t know how to use my hands for the first day that I had them but after that it was easy peasy and I didn’t have to think about it.
After 2 weeks my index finger acrylic nail was getting unlatched from the nail. Acrylics should have staying power even after the 2 week period. I got them removed at a different nail salon and none of my nails were badly damaged as much as I’ve seen in other acrylics horror stories.

On two separate occasions, I have scheduled to come in for a pedi/​Mani and have had them «forget» about my manicure after they have finished my pedicure. On the second occasion, I was sat down at a station and waited over half an hour for what I thought was going to be my Mani and it didn’t happen. After waiting and seeing that none of the employees was going to be helping me, I told the main male tech how much longer would it be for my mani. He profusely apologized for forgetting a second time and said he would do my manicure personally. I really hope this doesn’t continue to happen as I usually come hear before the crowds.

I have been coming to Le My’s for several years now, and I love this shop. They truly are nice folk working here and do a good job, unlike many nail salons nowadays.
The staff working here are very friendly, warm and inviting. They will actually talk to their clients if you so engage them. My mom and I are every 2 week regulars here, so we know the staff pretty well. Everyone seems to get along. For the most part, there does not seem to be a constant buzz of Vietnamese going on over your heads as you and fellow customers are being worked on and you sit and wonder «Are sitting here talking trash about us???» Brian and Jimmy run the shop and are both hands on owners and do their fair share of clients; they do not run around like tyrants barking orders at the rest of the staff as I have witnessed in other shops. Both of them are really nice guys. I have been worked on by Steve, Mindy, Tiffany, Monica, Lin, Sophia, Julie, Jimmy& a few others & I can honestly say that everyone does quality work and I have never been unhappy with a service.
Le My’s pricing structure is reasonable and competitive to other shops in the area; remember, you get what you pay for.
Pros about Le My’s:
–Friendly staff
–Decent & competitive prices
–quality workmanship
–clean
Cons:
–parking can be difficult: located on Downey Ave. in downtown
–you may have to wait even if you have an appointment
I will continue to be a loyal customer as long as they continue to uphold the quality of their services, their prices & retain their great staff.

I got helped by the guy by the door and he was really sweet. Usually nail salons can’t understand a word of English but not this one. Had a full on convo with him and he knew exactly what I wanted.
I’m very picky with nails and I love these! He helped me pick out this color and its just perfect for spring. Cost was 21 $ for just full set.
