I have only been here once for a mani and I haven't been back since. But I'd say based on the expensive prices, and very poor customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone! Read Less Honestly, I was so upset with the service while I was there that I didn't even want to return and ask them to fix it.I can't say that I've had a regular mani/pedi here, and they always seem busy. Also, because she was on the phone, I was examining my nails and she had left jagged edges on the acrylics, causing them to catch on items frequently. All around, this was the worst nail experience I've ever had. On top of that, I asked her to add a little polish to one nail, so that it would be a little closer to the cuticle. While doing my nails, her own long nail was painfully digging into each finger she worked on, creating deep red marks on my skin. This last time, the woman working on my nails carried on a very loud phone conversation almost the entire time I was getting my nails done! I was absolutely shocked. The first few times the staff was very accommodating, they took their time, made no mistakes and completed the somewhat lengthy process in a timely fashion.From then on, the experience got worse and worse. I recently decided to invest in acrylic nails my first set was put on here. So if I had rated this salon a few months ago, I would have given it a higher rating. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst manicures I've ever had. I should have researched the best salon in the area and made an appointment, but I've been busy at work. I'm pretty upset: it was only $20 ($16+$4), but what the heck did I pay for if it didn't even last 3 hours, despite careful use? I could've done that myself!I wasn't expecting much from a walk-in with 3.5 stars, but I figured any decent salon could do a basic manicure that will last at least 8 hours, right? Apparently not. Well, guess what: It's 3:15 PM (~3 hours after I left the salon) and the thumb on my left hand (ring hand, of course) just chipped. I paid $4.00 extra for OPI's gel-like lacquer polish, knowing it wouldn't be as chip-resistant as gels but figuring it'd be stronger than real polish, and sat in front of the fan for at least 20 minutes to make sure it was all set.
She didn't do a great job applying the light pink color I chose (some streaking was visible if you did more than glance at it), but it was fine enough and I didn't really care as long as it made it through tonight without chipping. The woman was rushed and kept looking behind me at the door like she had someone else coming in. I waited about 10 minutes until a second employee arrived, then chose a color and sat down. When I walked in to Blue Zen around 11:15 AM today, there was only one manicurist in the shop.

I rarely get manicures, but I wanted someone else to do my nails before I have professional engagement photos taken this evening (Sunday). I'm really mad that I wasted my time and money on this place. Especially such a shitty one.The sad thing is that ALL of this could have been avoided if she took her time in the first place. G) $40?! I live in Los Angeles and have NEVER paid over $35 for a gel manicure. I've never had a gel manicure take less than 40.
F) the total time she spent on my nails was 22 minutes. E) she REPEATEDLY (like 5-7 times in 20 minutes) got up to do other shit not related to my manicure, then would come back bitching at me about the UV light being off. D) she didn't ask what shape I wanted my nails and then insulted their existing shape and made them the shape SHE preferred, not what I asked for. C) she spent about 4 seconds on each cuticle.the main reason I even come to salons. My cuticles weren't in amazing condition when I came in, but again, I've never had this problem anywhere else. I'm sure the polish on that nail will come off first as there is definitely blood under it. B) the woman IMMEDIATELY cut my pinkie and never really cleaned it up. A) they lie about availability to get more people into the salon. Go literally anywhere else!!!! This was by far the worst gel manicure experience of my life and I've had tons.
