This is a great, reliable nail salon! Good quality--nails last well even while doing yard work, etc. Their recommendations are reliable and they don't constantly try to upsell you with unnecessary options. I have tried and strongly recommend manicure, both regular and tips, pedicure and brow wax. read more

I was very pleased by the service I received. I was able to get in for a pedicure without appointment. Will be going back for manicure. Clients that had appointments were waiting. Being in this business for over 25 yrs myself. I am very impressed. Nathan listened to all my needs, very professional. Pleasant experience. Thank you!!!! read more

I came to this salon just after they reopened during covid. The salon was empty! Apparently they only allow 2 people in at a time. Even if you are just waiting for an appt you have to wait in your car. It was very clean. They used gloves, wore masks and used individual one time use kits for their tools. I felt incredibly safe. Their service is focused on quality over quantity now. My guy took his time carefully cleaning and painting my nails. They are not allowed to perform massages but I got a little bit of one with the sugar scrub. Overall if you're worried about playing it safe, this is the place to go for nails. read more

Luxury Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina, California

It was my first time here. Finding the place in general is a pain. It's such a small salon, it's probably the size of my living room. When I walked in the nail techs just stared at me not welcoming me which I find rude. I just wanted my nails to be soaked off but they stated they didn't have time at all today which is understandable because I didn't have an appointment. Vibe overall was weird... read more

**Update: After posting my review the owner, Nathan, contacted me and apologized for my experience. He assured me he spoke to the manicurist and hopefully no one else will experience what I did. He invited me to try his shop again, which I'm undecided about. But his apology is greatly appreciated.** My friend and I went here yesterday and my first experience here was ruined by 1 manicurist. My friend had been going here for a while and she likes the colors they have for gel polish so I thought I'd give them a try. I already had gel polish so I got seated first to get it removed. The first woman that was helping me took out a drill to remove my polish. I was concerned since I'd never had that used on me before. But as I was staring at her work she was very precise and careful to only remove the polish, not file away at my actual nail. After she finished another woman sat down to cut and paint my nails. That's when the horror began. I have thick nails that are very curved. So when she grabbed the nail clippers and tried to cut my nail straight across in one go it was a bad idea. But she proceeded to do so despite me flinching a few times. After the cut she used a coarse nail file to roughly file my nails down further. Then came the cuticles, again roughly pushing them back and taking out the cuticle cutters. She poked, prodded, and ended up cutting the cuticles on 2 of my fingers (pics posted) to the point they were obviously bleeding. Not a single sorry. Yes, I should've said something but I didn't. My friend sitting next to me was done already since she didn't need polish removed. At this point the woman doing my nails starts rushing even more. The real kicker was at the end. After curing the last coat they wipe your nails off with rubbing alcohol or whatever. She does this but goes back to my 2 cut fingers and furiously rubs at my cuts to get the blood off (I'm assuming to hide evidence of what she did). It hurt so I recoiled my hand from her as she's staring at me as if I did something wrong. I was so upset with her I didn't get her name, I paid and left (even left a tip which I regret now). If you go here do NOT let this woman touch your nails! She's older (40's- 50's) and has glasses that look like the lens are one piece. She's probably newer since my friend had not seen her before. read more

I've been coming to this place for years because they do a very good job and my nails are long lasting, but I have finally decided I am done with this place. It's been various times that I make an appointment and they don't honor it. I have a busy schedule, making an appointment is necessary so I can plan my day accordingly. It sucks showing up and appointments not being honored ESPECIALLY after spending another 10+ minutes driving to the bank to take cash out because they only take cash now. It's not a 5-10 minute wait I'm complaining about, it's 20+ minutes OR them telling me to come back at a time that is convenient to them. One time I did come back and they still weren't ready. Again, they do a good job which is why I kept trying... Hoping this review will serve as an opportunity to improve their customer service. I was a loyal customer for 5+ years. read more

I was in desperate need for a new set so I called and Nathan was able to fit me in. On the phone, I specially asked him if I could soak my current acrylics off in acetone and get a new set and he yes.. When I arrived, he began to pop off my nails with another fake nail, THIS HURTS! I usually request to soak off because my nails are already extremely thin and delicate. And of course, he made my finger bleed,BADLY. This is why I asked to soak them off. Besides that, I just wish he would've gave me what I asked for. He did an amazing job with shape and color. I was set back that he charged me $50 but you pay for what you get. They look great. Also, this salon has very little gel colors. I had to pick about 4 different colors because it was either out or wasn't true to colors on the chart =( read more

Luxury Nail & Spa - $50 for this.... :( so steep - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina, California

I would like to start this off by saying how much I LOVE and appreciate Nathan! I found him on IG and messaged him about getting me in the next day and surprisingly enough he had the time, super last minute! This was my first time coming here and let me tell you, Nathan has a FOREVER customer now! I previously had gone to another nail tech and marina and my nails were screwed up, see picture below, like, what kind of nail shape is that even?! Smh. My nails were a hot, hot mess. I went in to see Nathan and bless his heart, he made magic happen out of the hot mess my nails were. He gave me the shape and color that I wanted. I have never ever been this satisfied with my nails before! I kept showing my hands to everyone and ranting and raving about how great Nathan is. The pictures alone speak for his work! read more

Maybe gel manicure is not what they are good at. First of all, my middle finger got cut. Second, the surface of the gel nails is not even, some are too thick. Some are very thin that you can see the paint stroke. Third, there are bubbles and bumps. The lady said I can pay more and she can do another layer. I declined, because my nails were already too thick and uneven. I look at and fidget with my nails a lot, and uneven surface really bother me. The service was fast, but maybe a bit too fast that she didn't pay attention to the detail. * I went back later, and she fixed the bumps, but there are still bubbles in it. read more

Luxury Nail & Spa - Short, cute nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina, California

Definitely not a luxury place and the nail job was poor quality. They should make the ambiance more inviting and get the handwritten signs off the walls and clean the place up. Or maybe change their name to Non-luxury spa. Won't be back. And not even 7 days later, my gel polish is coming off and I have to get my nails redone again. I never have to go back sooner than three weeks! read more

I love coming here. They always do exactly what I want and expect for my nails and pedicure. They are always busy but make sure you get seen quickly. I've gone to many places here but this location is by far the best one and I plan on sticking here. Ladies are really nice and professional. I totally recommend! read more

I dont want to give a great secret away - but BOY! Do I MISS Luxury NAIL AND SPA, right now!!!!! There was never any wait and they are so creative - any time I brought in an idea - they've been able to do it - EVEN BETTER! I've seen them be able to duplicate intricate designs off Pinterest immediately after they've looked at the photo. Please contact me as soon as possible - when you've returned back to work! I'll even come and wait in the car for "my turn"! :) read more

3 stars... 3 stars because the process that lead up to the final product wasn't professional at all. Don't get me wrong the nails turned out amazing but let me walk you through the process of my ordeal while cutting the coffin form, my finger was stabbed by the sharp iris scissors. You might think, "not a big deal" right? Wrong, this can be a big issue especially if someone is diabetic. I say this because those same scissors were then layer just put away in a drawer leading for me to think they aren't sterile. Then, a few weeks ago, while having a pedi done the tool used to cut the cuticle was dropped on the floor.. twice.. then picked and reused on me.. they need to have greater precaution with this. Truly they do... read more

A friend recommended this place to me because I was looking for a convenient spot to get my nails done that's on the way to and from work/school. I'm so glad I came here and I've been loyal since. Both Nathan and Holly have worked on my nails and they've done an amazing job each time. They have been the only ones who actually pay attention to how they shape my acrylic sets to accommodate my really small nail beds. They take the time to make sure it's shaped right and it's the length I prefer because there's times when I want them a little shorter or longer than usual. I also get the mix powder color which is so much better than the gel. It's a little pricier but the color is much better and you're able to get more variety with designs. They're also able to recreate the designs you show them from photos. Regarding wait time, I usually go on a weekday afternoon so it isn't busy but I always call in advance just to give them a heads up! read more

Ok I have to leave a review at this point haha, I've been complimented on my nails at least 3 times a day every day since I've gotten them done my Nathan! He's awesome and also helped my poor, tired feet look and feel amazing with a pedicure. Go here! You won't be disappointed. read more

called in to make an appointment, but they were not busy and said to come as a walk-in which I did. They seated me right away and Holly took care of me. She did both gel polish change for my toes ($30) & hands ($25) and turned out great! I got in and out a little less than an hour. She is precise and thorough with everything. I was going to ask her to do three coats on my nails, but she read my mind before I even asked her lol.. Thank you, Holly !! read more

There was no wait to get a full set of acrylics which I was very excited about. I walked right in and they saw me right away. She knew exactly the colors that I wanted and they turned out great. She got the shape exactly right from the picture that I brought in. My only complaint is that it cost $50. I had a good experience but $50 feels like a lot compared to other places in the area. read more

Nathan & Holly are very sweet. They make sure you get what you want for designs & can make any nail dreams come true. I loved my Valentine's Day set Nathan created. There isn't much space for parking in the front BUT a lot of people don't know that there is parking in the back of the building. I usually come on Friday evenings & they always make time for me in the schedule. Make sure to call ahead to see if they can schedule you but they do take walk ins. Cash is also greatly appreciated & luckily there is a Wells Fargo next door!! read more

I've been meaning to write a review of this place because I've been going for awhile! I love Nathan and Holly. They are both such sweet people. They're the only two there, so make an appointment. Nathan always does my nails, and Holly always does my mother's. Neither of us have ever been disappointed. I typically let Nathan do whatever he wants or just a vague description, and he never disappoints. He is a true artist. My mom always shows Holly a picture and she copies it perfectly. I think Nathan has posted my nails here before but I wanted to add my own pictures as well. I have been to almost every salon in this area and this one is the best by far. read more

I went here for a pedicure. The man who did my pedicure, did a great job! He was gentle with the massage part. And so careful with the nail polish. Not to rush, making sure they were perfect! Then spur of the moment I decided to get a manicure as well. They were very nice, about the guy who did it was very gentle and precise about doing it. And I got a clear coat. Then only bummer is that the clear coat peeled of the next day..... read more

They did an OK Job on my nails, but not great! The lady Holly is extremely rude! I asked for a third coat on my gel mani and she got really mad and told me in a very rude way to let her finish her job as she already was going to do a third coat! At no point was I rude to her so that really upset me, it was a simple request . Aside from that they are over priced compared to other places near by and the place also isn't very clean. I will not be coming back due to their bad customer service and lastly they were out of 3 different gel colors so had to settle for my 4th choice! What kind of business is this! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Walked in with a nail emergency. Just needed one nail repaired. Whole place was completely empty. Not another person in sight. I asked her how long would it take to fix. She asked if I got them done there, I said no but I'll pay for the replacement. She tells me, "no, I ONLY do appointments. U didn't get your nails done here so I won't fix it" who the hell runs a business like that? They apparently don't like money. DONT go here if u want to be treated like shit read more

I found my new go to nail shop! I don't remember her name but the female nail tech was super nice and did a great job! I went as a walk in on a Saturday after work and she took me right away! She was very attentive in finding the right color and shape that I wanted. I usually pay $39 for my nails so $50 is more than I'm used to but she did great and it was worth it. I got the Ombré powder, no polish and I'm in love! read more

Not luxury that's for sure. This place isn't my usual spot but since I did not have time to wait for my usual spot I dropped by this one. I walked in and it looks really sketchy. Before I could turn to walk out the guy approached so I sucked it up and gave it a try. It was the fastest manicure I have ever gotten done. The rags for drying are old and I have never smelled nail polish with such a strong smell. Everything around also has stains... I don't know it will definitely be the first and last time. It's not worth $30. read more

Very very rude!! When I called to make an appointment she said I couldn't book an appointment too far in advance and was very sassy with me. When it came to the actual day of my appointment. The lady that did my nails was very rough and mean. She cut me multiple times and burned me with a tool. She also shortened my nails after I asked her not to. She felt a black ring around all my fingers from the black dip powder. It's been less then 24 hours after getting our nails done, both my nails and my friends nails(got gel) have chipped. For how expensive it was (dip color was $50 and a fill with gel was $45 not including tip) I expected a lot better. read more

UGH!! Just don't! I am new to town and normally get the dipping powder because it's natural and doesn't destroy my nails. So that's not really a California thing so I just went with the gel. First the guy doing my nails told me there was no such thing as organic dipping powder, I told him I could prove it - conversation over. I told him I just wanted gel, he wanted to put some type of build up on my nails, which I can't have due to my job, after he kept repeating he wanted to this I said if he didn't understand do NOT do my nails. Anyway, got them done they looked OK but chipped 4 days later and kept chipping. I have never had the "no chip" chip so quick and my nails started breaking... ruined! Bad eyebrow wax to.. of course she said she didn't touch that area! Glad there are other places to choose from. BTW: https://gettheglitter.com/sns-nail-dipping-powder-reviews/ read more

Nathan I think you have lost your touch. Today I felt very rushed. My nail length is very uneven. They are all different shape and crocked as well. I told you I bent my pinky nail back and it was very sore. You grinded on it so hard it started to burn. It does not seen like you want to be doing this any more. read more

This was my go to nail shop for a few months when I first moved to Marina for college. I went back home to my regular nail lady and she said my nails were in VERY POOR SHAPE. My nail beds were blood shot red and my nails were INCREDIBLY thin. (Mind you my nails were thick and flourishing before I left for college) My poor nail appearance was caused by getting a new color and Nathan and Holly drilling over my nail bed countless times down to the nail bed. My nail lady recommended that this salon should've used a natural acrylic overlay to protect the nail, and buff off the old nail color instead of drilling it off EVERY. TIME. I'm not sure if this salon has the equipment or this acrylic overlay product, but with their pricing they should have it. Naturals nails matter, too. I will be driving 2 hours to my nail lady back in the Bay Area because she's the only one I trust, and she genuinely *cares* for her clients nails. **Do not get their dip powder on your natural nails. It's not worth $50-$65 and your nails will prove so** *Always make an appointment. I would not recommend walking in as you'll be staring into the abyss for 15-45 minutes or they'll ask you to come back in an hour and a half with a considerable wait time. I've seen it happen* *They should consider expanding their team* *Pedicures are lackluster and not worth it* read more
