About

Nail Queen LLC is a nail salon located between Lincoln Park and Chinatown. The salon names Cypress Park, El Sereno, Montecito Heights, Highland Park, Boyle Heights and Downtown Los Angeles as nearby areas it serves. Hours are 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM on Saturday; the salon is closed on Sundays.

Clients can book online through Vagaro or walk in Monday to Saturday, and walk-ins are seated first-come, first-served when a chair is free. Add-ons can be booked with a service or requested at the appointment. Kids' manicures and pedicures are offered for ages 12 and under with regular polish, and teens 13 and up book adult services.

The salon offers Gel-X, which is a soft gel tip bonded to the natural nail and cured under a lamp with no acrylic powder or liquid monomer. Acrylic sets are sculpted from a liquid and powder mix and finished with one gel color and cuticle care, and fills are recommended every two to three weeks. Prices for acrylic and Gel-X sets vary by nail length.

A semi-hard gel manicure is a builder gel layer applied thinly over the natural nail, also called BIAB or structured gel. Wear typically lasts three to four weeks for most clients, and it can be soaked off, unlike true hard gel. It can extend the free edge slightly, and longer lengths are done with Gel-X or acrylic.

Every manicure begins with shaping the free edge, followed by cuticle care and buffing of the nail plate. Clean equipment is kept at every station. The salon describes its cuticle work as thorough and gentle. According to the salon's website, it is rated 4.6 stars on Google from 28 reviews.

The gallery shows real sets from appointments, including Gel-X, acrylic and nail art such as chrome, cat-eye, airbrush, French tip and 3D designs.

Manicures follow a set order of shaping, cuticle care and buffing, with clean equipment kept at each station and cuticle work the salon describes as thorough and gentle.
