Dominic Nail Spa - Clean and modern - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I had the most wonderful experience here today. Mai, Anna, Ron and the crew were so genuinely friendly and my mani/pedi was divine, and much needed! Having just moved to LA from SF, I've been searching for a good place to call my regular nail salon. Dominic's really nailed it, from the overall area to the amazing service. The salon is right on Manhattan Ave, so walking past all the cute shops, cafes and beautiful beach was the perfect prequel to our salon experience. The vibe is so chill and relaxing, it's the perfect place to spend the day shopping, eating and treating yourself. My sister and I were greeted with smiling faces and friendly conversation as we entered the salon. We felt very safe and comfortable with their COVID precautions-- our temperatures were taken, there were dividers between all stations, the place was clean, hand sanitizer available, and everyone wore masks. We both received mani/pedis and thankfully they had enough staff to take us both at the same time. We were seated promptly at their massage chairs, which by the way were amazing and worked really well. It was my first time since COVID that I'd been to a nail salon, and so my nails needed a lot of TLC. I asked Mai if I should get fake tips for my two broken finger nails, and she answered honestly that it was healthier not to and to stick with the regular gel mani. This is when I knew she was a keeper and I really appreciated her not up-selling me into a full set (which I was expecting to get). She also has great taste in nail color and helped me pick the perfect hand/toe combo. I'm very happy with my nails, the gel coating is so thin and even, with so much attention to detail. So many thanks to Mai and Anna for their incredible job. My sister was very happy with hers as well, but didn't catch the names of her ladies. But it sounds like everyone there is equally awesome. I'm so happy to have found my new favorite regular nail salon, and I can't wait to come back! read more

Pros: Dominic Nail Spa's staff are very kind and personable. Took two walk-ins for a gel mani (friend) and acrylic fill (me). Cons: this isn't your bargain nail salon, so for pricing that is average for nail services, I expected better quality. My friend left with half-done nails (too sheer, could've had another coat; messy polish edges). For me, I was very happy with my nails until I got home and the ends started fading already! 48 hours later, one of my nails were lifting. Next day, fell off because water was seeping underneath. Picture attached. Unfortunately, I had to squeeze in time to get them re-done at my regular salon the night before I leave for vacation! read more

They took me in at the last minute to remove gel nails that I got elsewhere. Friendly service and they took care in removing the gels carefully. My nails and toes look great. read more

I never post reviews but I had an awful experience today at this salon. They were 20 minutes late for my appointment and the manicure took TWO HOURS. The result was the worst manicure I've ever had. She cut me twice and burned my cuticles with her tools. It was painful and it looks awful. They are so unevenly shaped and painted. Just terrible. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a manicure. read more

Dominic Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Hands down the best nail salon in Manhattan Beach. Nicest stylists and everyone is so great. Love this place!!

With my busy schedule, I opted to try Dominic's since it's a quick walk from my work and I was able to go during my lunch break. I was immediately greeted when I arrived, and the nail technician waved me over to a spa chair. When I told her I just wanted a regular pedi, she first told me they only do spa pedis. However, when I turned to leave she told someone to grab a bucket from the back and to fill it up for my pedi. (Don't get me wrong, I don't care about the price difference, it's more for sanitary reasons. In general, If spa pedi chair filters are not cleaned after each pedicure, all of the germs, bacteria, skin cells and potential diseases from others that have been in that chair gets recirculated in the tub.) While this salon appeared clean and neat, I am not familiar with their sanitation practices. Overall, It was a very average pedi. Nothing spectacular, with minimal cleaning around the nail/nail bed. The real disappointment was the uneven nail polish coat that began to chip after 3-4 days. I also felt that it was overpriced compared to nearby salons that do a much better job. read more

I feel like I just had a spiritual experience. Dom gave me the best full of my life. I've had dozens upon dozens of manicures and this was by far the best. He was so meticulous and gentle and a GREAT conversationalist. Previously I'd been going to polish in el porto but the last two appointments I had the quality completely fell off and I'm so happy to report I have a new nail home. Check them out! read more

My wife and 3 girls and I stopped in here on a whim to get their nails done before the Taylor Swift concert. Although they were busy, Pauline was gracious enough to fit us in. They did a lovely job. The place is super clean. Highly recommend this place. Pauline just bought this place. Give her a shot. read more

I've been loyal to Dominic's since they opened. Best in town and my nails always last. Super friendly expert staff. They make everyone feel like a local. read more

If you are looking for an amazing manicure, then you are in the right spot. This spa is reasonably priced and they have the best nail polishes. Le is my go to manicurist. In fact she had been doing my nails for 15 years! She takes her time, is a perfectionist and never ever disappoints! She truly takes pride in her work and shows! Loan is also amazing! P.S.

Dominic Nail Spa - Manicure by Le @ Dominic Nail Spa, Manhattan Beach - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

LOVELY staff (and I mean lovely) but NO one was wearing a mask- customer and staff alike. Definitely made me a little uncomfortable. Pricing is a little high but they do an excellent job. read more

Polish all over cuticles Barely cleaned the old polish off my nails. You can see black spots from the previous manicure under the new color. When I brought it up to the lady who did my nails, she rolled her eyes and said "don't worry it will be fine" Well, actually it's not fine it looks awful. I only give them a 3 star because the salon is fairly clean and their pricing is reasonable for being in downtown MB. read more

Absolutely love this place! Unfortunately it's not always in my budget so I can't go as much as I'd like. But they do a fabulous job read more

I have been going here for at least 20 years and love love love them! And I should have done a review a long time ago! I am always so happy to be there and they feel like family and all of my friends and family go there as well.Love you guys! And love Dom!!!! read more

Clean salon, but my nails looked better before I got my mani-pedi. They put no effort into the service. Save your money and time and try a different salon in Manhattan Beach. read more

The ONLY nail salon in the South Bay that I trust! The staff is so friendly and helpful. My nails always look so cute after and the gel last for a long time. Thank you for always making my nails the cutest! read more

This was my GoTo salon for a mani/pedi while living in MB. Parking: Typical MB; metered street parking, if you are lucky enough to get a spot. But in the non-summer mornings, its easy. Appointments: I never made an appointment, just would stop by and see if they could get me in. They always did a good job. Bonus, Dominic is very friendly. Even brought my daughter a few times. Plus, good polish selection. Its a little more expensive than other places around. And its CASH only, but there's several ATMs down the street. If you're a local, you'll bump into people you know. read more

A friend and I popped in without an appointment and were lucky enough to have time for a mani and pedi without a wait. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My nails look great the prices are comparable to others places in the area. The facility itself is clean, modern and in a great neighborhood to shop and brunch. read more

Quincy and Dom just gave my the best mani pedi I've ever had. I had broken my ring finger (left hand) and my nail looked horrific. Dom made it look like new and told me I'd have a ring on it in 6 months :D Lovely people. Lovely salon. Thank you!! read more

Love Lee, she is the best for a gel manicure! Definitely worth the drive to only see her.

Everytime I need a proper primping to maintain my metrosexuality, I run down to the beach for Dominic's. His staff of Asian ladies and the occasional man, okay, Dominic, does me right. OK not really - but every other Saturday my girlfriend has to see Dominic first thing in the morning to have her nails done. She swears they are the best - professional, personal, clean, and detail-oriented. Prices are "very reasonable" for Manhattan Beach (translation: if you get your nails done in Monterey Park, you might be dissapointed). I also sent my mom here once when she was visiting, and she was very satisfied. She's a tough woman to please, so it must be good. They do take appointments, but be prepared to call in advance or he may turn you away. That's not a bad thing, especially if you can't stand waiting like me (even though I never get my nails done). One other thing, you can learn a lot about what's going on with people in downtown MB by coming here. I'll leave it at that. read more

Friendly and professional service. I was very pleased with my pedicure and was taken right away even though they were busy and I was a walk in. Definitely will come here so long as I'm living in MB. Much much much better experience than Cha Nails down the street which was truly awful. I recommend going to Dominic Nails for all your Manhattan Beach nail needs. read more

Love love this place- nails look amazing ! So many compliments on the chrome / unicorn color! Love the metallic. Dominic always is available to make you feel like a million buck. Note not open on Sunday which is a huge bummer read more

My friend's grandma and my friend took me to this nail salon for my birthday, and I was amazed - by how much choices you had for colors, how relaxed and soothing it was to be in the chair, and knowing you're getting your tootsies polished by professionals. i rate this 5/5 for how much I was relaxed, excited, and more! Prices are reasonable and the finished look will astonish you. I can't think of any better place to go to besides this. Workers there are so sweet and welcoming, and they make you feel like you don't need to worry about anything. I also certainly suggest going here. read more

If you're looking for a good nail salon where you can relax knowing you'll get exactly what you want this is it! I had been searching for a good place to get my toes done but I wanted to make sure they were also COVID safe. I found this location one day while doing some shopping in downtown manhattan and stumbled across this cute salon. They were all so nice and friendly, especially Anna! I waited maybe like 5 minutes just so that they could sanitize everything. The price is also very reasonable especially considering the amazing work they do. After that day I knew I had found my nail salon. Definitely recommend coming here!!! read more

Dominic's did a great job on my nails! I got a no-chip manicure on May 30th, and it's June 16th and the only issue is my nails have grown out too much! Not a single chip or peel!!! Definitely worth every penny! Also, when I walked into the salon, I was impressed at the cleanliness and the professionalism of the staff. Every employee was dressed up with their hair done - they just looked like they were going to WORK and not just to a nail salon. Highly recommend! read more

YYYYYYAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!! I usually have a "Manicure Monday" with one of my bff's! This is my favorite place FOR MANICURES. I don't get my pedicures done here because I don't think they do stones and fancy designs. My friend gets her pedis here and she totally in love. Okay so back to my manicures.., they give the best hand massages! I always feel so relaxed. They have like a zillion color options by the way! I always use Essie and it lasts. Idk what these other reviews are talking about, but they never do only one coat. The staff here is super friendly and welcoming. If you are lucky enough to get Dom to do your nails then YAYS to you because he is the owner of the salon I believe. Another great thing that I never have to yell about is hygiene. This place is super clean and they sanitize all of their tools before and after. It gets no better!!!!!!!!! read more

Great pedicures with friendly staff.We'd love Dominic nail spa. My daughter and I love to get pedicures there. Everyone is so nice and friendly and we love her pedicures! read more

Don't argue with your customers!!! This was my first time here and got an immediate appt. I told the girl I liked my nails short and she told me my nails were all ready short. I started clipping them myself and then she took over. It was poorly done, filed unevenly and very fast. Another women came over to inspect her work and refilled my nails and redid the cuticles. I don't know if this girl was brand new or just didn't care. I won't be going back. read more

Do them yourself and if you can't-go elsewhere. Was greeted by a woman who immediately sat me down. Then her coworker came over and started arguing with her in a foreign language. The greeter got up and the other woman sat down and started doing my nails. I assume it wasn't the greeter's turn for a customer. The other lady sat down and started doing my nails. Terrible job. Her gel light kept breaking too. See pictures attached. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. I've been here before and it was fine so might be who you get. All in all, wish I would have saved the money and done them myself. read more

I was actually surprised to see the bad to mediocre reviews on this place. I don't live in the area, but every time I'm in LA, I am tempted to come here. I've probably been here a total of 5 or so times, and each and every time, I received the best, quick mani-pedi EVERR. The staff is always so friendly and kind. They seem to be thoroughly experienced with nail services just by watching them work. You most certainly can tell everyone has been doing this for a WHILE. I would recommend this salon to anyone and everyone. I would be surprised if anyone is disappointed. read more

I got my nails done for the first time at this salon and I can say, hands down, this was the BEST and most AMAZING experience I've ever had at any nail salon I've been to. Rose did my nails and she did such a beautiful job!! She is the kindest woman and the conversation was great, which made my experience that much better. Everyone in here is so pleasant and welcoming. I will be coming back to this salon every time I visit LA. If I could give more stars than 5.. I would. I recommend this salon to anyone in and around Manhattan Beach. read more
