I had such a great experience at this nail salon, I genuinely had to come leave a review because…read morethe level of care and detail did not go unnoticed. The salon itself is clean, relaxing, and has such a calm, welcoming vibe -- you can actually unwind instead of feeling rushed or herded through like an assembly line. Everything felt intentional and well-kept. And Grace... she is THAT girl. Her attention to detail is unreal. She took her time, made sure everything was shaped perfectly, and didn't cut corners at all. You can tell she really cares about her work and takes pride in what she does. My nails came out flawless -- clean, precise, and exactly what I wanted (honestly even better). On top of that, she's so sweet and easy to talk to, which just makes the whole experience even better. It didn't feel transactional, it felt like being taken care of. If you're booking here, ask for Grace -- she's the one. I'll definitely be coming back! :)

I recently tried the nail salon right under my office after not getting my nails done for a few…read moremonths. Living in Santa Monica, I was tired of the sky-high prices at salons, so I decided to check this place out since they quoted me only $39 for a gel manicure - a pretty decent price compared to what I've seen in Santa Monica. The experience was okay. The gel lasted me about 2-3 weeks before it started chipping, so while the quality wasn't extraordinary, I'd say you get what you pay for. For $39, it's a solid deal, significantly when most salons around LA charge at least $50 for a regular gel manicure. This salon doesn't offer gel builder manicures, which last much longer but cost significantly more. If you need your nails done quickly and don't want to break the bank, this place is a great option. Perfect if you're prepping for an event or just looking for something affordable. Just know that the wear and tear might show after a couple of weeks, but it's hard to complain about the price!

I'm so happy with how they turned out. I got dip with extensions. This is great for UCLA students as it's just a short walk from the Target in Westwood. Prices are reasonable as well. Will be a regular client from now on!

She was personable and diligent. However, my only complaint is that she told me it would last for a month and after two weeks my nails have started falling off at the tip which is really disappointing. Both my left thumb and right pinky have cracked and fallen off (as you can see in the picture). Angie is really really great but I'm disappointed in the longevity considering it was $50 for just two weeks of wear.

The good: I was able to walk in on a Saturday morning (about 30 minutes after the opened) and…read moreimmediately be seated for a gel pedicure. The nail tech was patient when I was deciding between colors, attentive when she was filing and painting by asking me if I was okay with the shape/color and did a great job filing and shaping. Overall, a good paint job! The not so good: This is a no frills pedicure. No massage chair. No callus buffing/removal. No jet pedicure tub. No massage. For $75 (before tip) I would've definitely preferred to have at least one of those services included. TLDR: Overall happy with my gel "pedicure". A bit high of a price ($75 for gel pedicure) in my opinion for what you get but good spot.
