    This is the Dip Mani that Tina did for me- just beautiful. Thank you!!
    Irit B.

    This ladies work hard all day and the nails are always done well! I've been coming here since 2007 and they never disappoint. The gel is always neat, stays for a long time and the cuticle care is the best! My feet love them too! I refer all my friends here, even my husband. Tina, Donna and Tracy- THANK YOU LADIES !

    Dip mani and regular pedi.

    Love my dip mani and pedi! The Ladies are really nice and the shop is very clean and bright. It's always a hit or miss when you don't know where to go, but next time I'm in Santa Monica I'll deficome back to Lily's for sure!!

    Gel x and gel manicure

    Favorite nail salon in LA! Tina is great on my gel x nails and Tracy gives awesome pedicures! Everyone's super friendly. My friends and I have been going for over a yr and plan on continuing to return to the salon. They play good music and have a relaxing environment there's not a lot of talking just like I like! :) when I am getting my nails done I am a perfectionist and I like my techs to take their time and give me exactly what I'm asking for and for the most part with a good picture they are able to attain my vision and for that I'm grateful! Very welcoming place!!

    Just had my first visit here and I loved it. After an atrocious manicure last week at another salon, I tried Lily's because I always pass it and it looks cute inside. Everyone was very nice, the salon was very clean and had nice music playing. Their selection of gel manicure colors is insane - so many to choose from! I'll definitely be returning Update: one week later and my manicure looks like I got it done an hour ago. I think this might be the best manicure I've ever had. I wish I could give another star!

I've been a loyal client of my nail tech for about five years and even followed him to this salon, so I expected the same level of care I've always received. I came in asking to have my acrylics removed since I need short nails for school, but he convinced me to keep them and just shorten them. I agreed, but the end result was nothing like what I asked for. The color was completely different from the dark blue I requested, and the nails were noticeably longer than I wanted. The pedicure was also disappointing. I paid extra for a callus treatment, yet my feet were barely scrubbed. It felt rushed and careless, which is not what I expect from an upgraded service. Even though I was unhappy, I still tipped generously and thanked them before leaving. After sitting in my car and realizing how dissatisfied I was, I went back inside less than ten minutes later to politely ask if they could shorten and repaint my nails. The staff seemed visibly frustrated, even though the fix was quick and simple and took less than ten minutes. I was then told I needed to pay an additional thirty dollars. My nail tech apologized, but that doesn't change the fact that I was charged extra to correct something that wasn't done as requested in the first place. I've been nothing but loyal and respectful for years, so this was really disappointing. After this experience, it's clear that customer satisfaction isn't a priority here. I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback encourages better communication and a little more care for loyal clients in the future. Updated Review: A few hours after I posted my review, I received both a call and a kind text from the owner, My. I called her back, and she was incredibly thoughtful, sincere, and apologetic. She was genuinely eager to make things right by offering me a complimentary manicure if I choose to return. I didn't expect anything for free, but I truly appreciated her kindness and professionalism. I believe how a business owner handles a situation speaks volumes, and My went above and beyond to make me feel valued and heard. Because of her thoughtful response and genuine care, I'm updating my rating from one star to five. Thank you, My, for your grace and integrity. It truly meant a lot!

From day one, everyone was kind, professional, and consistently reliable. I never once had an issue with appointment timing (and I was often a Friday afternoon walk-in), service quality, design requests, or payment discrepancies. Pricing was always upfront and clearly communicated, which I especially appreciated since I frequently requested intricate nail art. Speaking of nail art -- they are simply the best. Multiple techs here are incredibly skilled and capable of executing a variety of designs. The level of artistry is truly top tier. To everyone at Nails on the Moon: thank you for making me feel like a respected and valued client throughout my entire time in LA. Thank you as well for the many compliments I received because of your beautiful work. I genuinely looked forward to seeing you all every other Friday. You've set the bar very high -- so much so that finding a new salon in the Bay has been difficult. With much gratitude and my highest recommendation.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, the salon is very clean, and the massage chairs are great, which makes pedicures actually relaxing.

I've had my nails done by Rosie and Lim, and both have done an amazing job, super meticulous, patient, and attentive to detail. My nails always look beautiful, and I've never had issues with chipping or extensions lifting, which says a lot. Overall, it's a reliable, comfortable place with great service and great results. I'm always happy recommending Nails on the Moon and will definitely keep coming back.
