I have officially found my nail home! I called close to closing time and the gentleman who answered the phone was incredibly kind and accommodating -- he still made space for me, which already meant so much. Moon and Lin were beyond amazing. Their care, precision, and technique were truly next level. They took their time and made sure everything was perfect. I haven't loved my nails like this in a long time. 10/10 experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

I can't recommend Instabeauty enough. The owner is one of the kindest, most gracious people you'll ever meet, and his employees reflect that same warmth and professionalism. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and beautifully maintained and my nails come out flawless every time. Parking is also simple and convenient, with meters right in front and a structure directly behind the salon. If you appreciate exceptional service, genuine kindness, and consistently perfect results, Instabeauty is a gem. read more

I came across this salon while on a trip to Malibu. Staff was professional and kept everything clean. I was celebrating my birthday weekend and they definitely started it off right. Bao was amazing. He was very friendly and went out of his way to make everything perfect for me. read more

I never leave bad reviews but I felt compelled to do so. I booked through ClassPass and while checking out they were not able to find my ClassPass appointment and still made me pay an extra $97. On top of that, I got a standard gel manicure that looks as if it was done by a toddler. It's uneven, blotchy, and EXPENSIVE. I called the owner calmly explaining how I was unhappy and he proceeded to start yelling at me and cutting me off at every chance he could. It was uncomfortable and extremely unprofessional. I don't foresee this place being open for much longer. I was also on time for my 10am appointment and was trapped outside until 10:20 in the pouring rain waiting for them to arrive. read more

I love this nail shop. They have such high quality products and stuff like that. The people are amazing here. It is very affordable. I especially love that they offer hybrid gel and gel polish in a variety of colors. I really love coming here. read more

BEWARE OF A SCAM Very deceiving about their charges and lack of customer retention. I have gone there a few times for their service until the last time when they up-charged my fill. Beware of the sneaky charges that they will add without your consent! This was hurtful because I have always tipped them very generously and the manager was very rude to me over the phone read more

Great, clean, comfortable salon. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing manicure or pedicure.

This place is just min from everything I love so I just had to pop in and see if it was a fit for my biweekly nail appointment and boy they didn't disappoint! If u go here ask for Jessica read more

Lala is the best thank you very much. Such great travel tips for Vietnam and she did an amazing job.

Terrible!!! I had a booking at 3:45 and they kept me waiting for 40 minutes and started removal of my nails so late. I explained that I had to leave and asked for them to finish my manicure with no gel. The girl scraped my nails off with the drill so roughly it thinned my nails. She finished and I still had product on my nails, no cuticle treatment or filing and rough nails, no buffing or cleaning. I left with my nails terrible condition. I was still charged! So many great nails spas in the area, so try them instead. Don't waste your time! read more

My tech, Vivian, was super nice and efficient. The salon vibe was relaxing and pleasant. Such a gem for my neighborhood.

Always late and rude. I've never made an appointment that they actually kept Within a 20 minute window. Unhygenic and gross

Nail tech was super nice, great attention to detail and it came with a glass of rosé. Highly recommend!

I came in unexpected without an appointment from a walk and had decided to get my nails done. This person named Danny was assigned to me and he ended up cutting all my nails super short! I had long beautiful nails with 3 broken but he decided without my approval to cut it down thinking by shorter I thought he meant half way not down to the bone. Once cut down he pulled out acrylics to add to my short nails!?? Without my approval! I told him NOOOOOO I don't do that! Why would he assume I would want to extend my nails with plastic when I could have just repaired the few that I broke?! At this point it was too late to do anything so I sat quietly as he finished asking if I now wanted any designs. Wtf? On my very short nails? NOT! They ended up charging me $25 dollars to remove the gel powder because I didn't want the same thing again as last time!! Well you didn't even give me the option! How could I even do the same thing. Not even possible when my nails were cut super short. The total came to $77 for something I didn't even ask for! I'm very upset and I paid way too much to remove something when it was done by the same instrument and it hurt and burned he was way too rough. read more

I got beautiful nails and it didn't take long at all. All of the workers were sooooo nice and did an amazing job I would recommend going.

I live in Santa Monica and wanted to try a new nail salon. I found them on Yelp and after reading some of the reviews, I made same-day appointment. I came in around 9:30am on a Sunday, I was their first client of the day. My first intention was to get a gel mani ($52) but ended up spending a bit more ($65) and got dip powder on my natural nails. My nail technician, Celine, did a fabulous job. She was nice, attentive and professional. All employees there are wearing uniforms and the whole place looks very clean and neat. They are very pricey in my opinion, but it's probably because of their location and the type of customers who often visit the salon. Not all customers get treated the same, the two customers (mother and her daughter) who came in after I did were offered a bottle of water while I was never offered something to drink. No judgment, it is what it is. I used to work in retail for many years and know how some of these places profile you by the way you look, how you talk, and what you are wearing. Parking - I was able to find free street parking right in front of the salon. read more

InstaBeauty has a Very considerate staff I have gone several times for a skin treatment and each staff person has been professional and skilled. read more

I have never given a bad review to any business. I have gone to Instabeauty plenty of times however the past two times have been horrible manicures received by the gentleman that is the owners partner. Paid for a full set of "hydrogel" or something like that that didn't last longer than 10 days before fully lifting. Then went back and gave it another try I received the another manicure from the owners partner which is likely why they are being so resistant to owning up to the fact that the application sucks . The other technicians are good. They are very expensive and refused to redo a manicure plus gel and kept saying they will only reapply the gel on my nails. Anyways a very unprofessional salon for the price they charge. I also saw nail clippings and dead skin scrapings where it should be sanitized and clean. read more

I think I found my LA nail salon! The website says appointment only, which I did make, but towards the end of my manicure people came in without appointments and they still accepted them. The atmosphere alone is very serene, peaceful. There were only 2 other clients when I was there so it was relaxing. You can tell they strive for the experience of the clients, not how many customers they can get in and out. I got there about 20mins early and they were able to take me early. When they sat me down, they offered me champagne, wine, water, or hot tea, which was nice. My tech Bao was so sweet and really good. He really paid attention to detail throughout my entire manicure, which if anyone knows me, knows I'm a perfectionist when it comes to getting my nails done so I have standards. He did a great job and took his time. Not at all were things rushed and you can tell they really want to make the client happy and satisfied with their nails. I got SNS french manicure, which did take about 2hours but again, I wasn't in a rush and neither was my nail tech. I'm sure if you were to get other type of manure like a normal gel or SNS it wouldn't be so long though. I didn't get a pedicure, but I they have the pedicure chairs with the tub and they were doing their pedicures in that, which was nice to see instead of buckets. Definitely come here! read more

My nails are sooo pretty! I have always wanted to splurge for a set of acrylics and having claws for Halloween seemed like the right time to go for it, and I couldn't be more pleased. The technician was very skilled. I've had bad experiences where I'm cut or hurt by nail techs, but mine was very gentle and kind. She recommended gel, which I appreciated since this is my first time doing something like this. Super methodical, clean, and extremely talented. I couldn't be happier. Note that there's street or garage parking behind the little complex, but the salon faces the street! read more

Gel manicure began to peel off after 4 days. Same with my daughter's gel manicure. By the time I had a day off from work to get them re-done, they wouldn't accommodate me for a courtesy fix. Very disappointing, not because they wouldn't provide a courtesy fix- I understand their policy. I'm disappointed in the quality of work. It was expensive and the WORST gel work I've ever received. read more

InstaBeauty - After 10 days - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Worst nail experience of my life. Unskilled nail techs, literally only care about turnover. I asked to remove the gel without ruining my nails - she said the soak method takes too long and that she needs to get to next client. I should have left at that point. Blame the bumps in the painting of your nail on the nail polish (brand new bottle that I brought - first time using it), don't know how to take gel off, repeatedly telling me to trust her, chopped my nails off and didn't know how to file an almond shape. I would never return here. Kristie, sorry you need a new job. read more

If you're looking for a temporary escape where you can be pampered and get away from it all, this is your spot. From the moment we walked in everyone was so welcoming and kind. This salon is gorgeous with great nail techs! Everything was super clean and there is a nice selection of nail polishes (clean, gels etc). Can't wait to go back! read more

Ahhhh yes! I am so impressed by this salon. I live in the area and have been looking for a nail salon that feels very clean and the staff is friendly...let alone does a good job...! I walked past this salon a few times casually on my walk and decided to try them out one day when I was in a slight pinch to get my gel nails redone & fresh pedicure. Service was amazing & I felt attended to. I loved that they offer beverages that are still in the bottle (Perrier sparking water)...it's the little things. Oh and my nails, light milky pink look perfect. Found my new salon!! read more

(InstaBeauty mani review) Beyona was so great! Some nail techs don't get the color close to cuticle, and it looks uneven but this is not the case with her. Color is right up to the edge! Shape was consistent and exactly what i asked for. No sharp edges, and level shape (slightly square). She was friendly and efficient! When I come back I'm definitely asking for her read more

I came here for the location and reviews. I was thinking for the price point, location and reviews I would get an amazing service. The guy who did my French manicure couldn't have done it any faster. Felt like he was going at the speed of light. Never asked me what shape nails I want or if I even like the shape. Did uneven French lines and shaping of my nails. I was almost laughing at how bad they were. He clearly DID not care. One of my nails had cuticles on it still and was chunky. He painted right over it. Just no love and not what I was expecting for $42 for the manicure alone. I was prepared to leave 25-30% tip. But I'm sorry, I couldn't find myself to leave more than 15%. There was no reason to rush... they didn't have a long wait of ppl. this was during the day time on a Wednesday. Clearly they don't care about quality or keeping business. I won't be coming up, which is shame. I don't mind paying top dollar and tipping very well as long as I get the quality. Staff also had a very unwelcoming and not super friendly demeanor. Not the spa environment I was looking for. Just a few more minutes of attention to detail and putting some care into it and you would've receive double the amount of tip and a repeat customer. Hey but how you deliver your service is up to you. After reading other reviews it seems like I may have gotten the same gentleman that many have complained about. To the owner- if you care about your business fix your staff. Bumping up a star because the owner did reach out offering to fix my nails. I did decline the offer because I just don't feel like coming in to have them fixed, having them fixed is not as a big of an issue as the whole experience was in the first place. I came in willing to pay the price point they ask for, expecting excellent quality and I've received better quality work at cheaper places. The offer is appreciated though, hope they take the time to improve. read more

I'm sorry to say this was the worst salon experience I've ever had. For the manicure, my nails were buffed down so thin that they now hurt and my nails started breaking the next day without any increased activity. For the pedicure, the technician cut deep down to the cuticle for both big toes even when I was visibly in pain and the manicure tech told him to ease up. 24 hours later my toes are very inflamed and hurt to walk on. I called the day after my services to speak to the manager, Anh Dang, and respectfully and calmly explained the situation. Instead of being apologetic and understanding, he told me the breakage was my fault, that his techs would never do that and that it's not possible to get an infection from a pedicure. He then hung up on me. The worst customer service and disrespect I've ever received at an establishment. read more

I think this could possibly be the best nail salon experience I've had!! Celine and Bao are so incredibly helpful and attentive. I had one set done by them that started to lift within a week, but after going in and explaining the issue they helped resolve it as soon as they could! They ended up giving me a new set (Celine did these nails) and they came out better than I could have ever asked for!!! Everyone has amazing spirit and great service, definitely will be coming back every time read more

I don't usually write reviews but I feel like I had to write one for this. I was looking for a good dip manicure and saw this had good reviews but I was left very disappointed. GOOD: - Very clean, stylish furniture, good location - Efficient - Good nail shaping BAD: - HIGH price ($65 for dip manicure) BEFORE tip so you're looking at 70+ for just a dip manicure. - Not super friendly (minimal conversation) - Did not trim cuticles - Minimal dip color options (under 50 choices) - CRACKING POLISH The worst of all was that the polish was cracking day TWO of the manicure!! The other places I've been to, the polish doesn't even crack at all or not at least for a week or two. Day TWO I had cracks and now only 6 days later all of my nails have cracks in them. This is not even going to last a week. Disappointed for a $75 manicure. I will not be returning. read more

Buyer Beware! I would give it 0 stars if possible. Everything looks ok from the outside but you're only paying for the location. My nails came out uneven, thick, ugly, and overpriced! I paid for full set French tip, for design, colors, and shape. Price wasn't disclosed up front and they're already falling apart after two days! I felt so ashamed by the job done I just painted them black, never coming back again. $95 down the drain. read more

I was super excited to be able to go in for a much needed manicure and pedicure a couple weeks ago. The salon is amazing! Super clean and new, but what blew me away was the service. All the employees were so nice and friendly. They made me feel as comfortable as I could during my time there. They gave me tea and a hot towel as soon as I sat down, thought I was at some spa or something. They have a great and huge selection of regular polish and gel. I only came for a manicure/pedicure, but I did see that they offer skin treatments and eye lash extensions as well! As far as COVID, I felt pretty safe coming to this salon. All the employees were wearing masks and gloves. They socially distanced all the customers that were there. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place! read more

Last minute appointment for myself AND my Mom, a weekend no less, and what wonderful service. The staff go above and beyond. My Mom suffers from anxiety and they were so patient with her, assuring her that she could relax, and if the nail color she chose was too bright then they'd switch it out. The offer of hot tea was so lovely, arriving in its own little carafe and cup. Adorable. I went for the Rose! The decor is divine, all the attention to detail is superb. Plump yellow pillows top deep blue cushioned chairs, there's a place for everything and everything in its place. Lovely round mirrors rimmed in gold adorn the walls and each pedi station has its own spray of greenery. InstaBeauty is SO nice, really the nicest, most elegant and clean nail salon I've been to. But of course it's more than just a nail salon. They offer facials, lashes, massages, waxing, truly it's a one stop shop and it's NOT a chain, which in my book makes it extra worthy to be supported. I'm all for supporting the small shops owned by people striving to thrive and survive. I had my first ever (definitely not last) GelX by Nina and she was fastidious in her process. I am over the moon. My nails look so f*cking good. And they used a technique I have NEVER seen before. I anticipate lots more fun designs in my future! The owner stopped by to check in and not in that overbearing way. He is kind and has incredible style, as evidenced by the salon and his own flawless manicure. Well worth the drive from Manhattan Beach, one I will not hesitate to repeat. So excited to have found this place. read more
