    Nails so short, no shape! Their specialized skills shining through

    If you are going for reg mani and pedi go elsewhere. She cut my nail so short didn't ask what shape I like nothing. I asked for short as possible not to the nub. It looked awful. I left midway the vibes are off and it's just no. Waste of my $40. Also no AC, god only knows what they are using on your nails. Needless to say I won't be back. Read the other 3 star reviews. I was so uncomfortable. The owner responded below I'm aware of what a dry pedicure and manicure are. There was a lack of quality and skill which was obvious. Dry pedi and mani are newer in LA not in the rest of the world. I walked out mid service that speaks more to than a process. My nails are so short they are uncomfortable. Your response is unnecessary and uniformed.

    Hard gel polish. I forgot the name of the color.

    I got a last minute appointment for a mani and pedi. I forgot to get names but I had different nail techs for the mani and the pedi. I especially loved the manicure. I opted for a hard gel polish and the tech gave me exactly what I wanted. I came in with very short nails with some slightly damaged but she did a great job of shaping them in spite of that. I loved how well she cleaned the cuticles and was very meticulous with applying the hard polish. I always worry going to a salon for the first time but I left very happy and loving my nails. The salon was clean and everyone was sweet and polite. I would go here again.

    This review is overdue! After coming here for almost a year, I can confidently say these manicures are the absolute best I've ever experienced. I'm never going anywhere else as long as I live in LA! The hard gel manicure is my favorite, it looks incredible and grows out so nicely. It lasts 5+ weeks with no chips and allows my nails to grow longer than they ever have before. The space is clean, bright, and aesthetic. There's no strong chemical smells that some other nail salons have. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I always book with Kristina because her attention to detail is superb! I don't live in the neighborhood but will continue to drive here for the quality service.

    Great experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Recently under new management. If you tried this place before, try it again! Location is super easy to find in small plaza with parking out front. Immediately upon walking in, I was greeted and offered something to drink. Customer service was incredible. I had my names done by Mary. I wish I took a before picture of my nails. Gross, short, over grown cuticles and uneven nails. Two time boy toddler mom will explain it all. I am attending two back to back wedding weekends. I wanted something neutral yet beautiful. I showed Mary my inspo picture. She went straight to work and explained what we needed to do to get to our goal. I had always done gel w/square round shape. I went with something new, gel x and cat eye style. She explained what it was and the difference between between gel and gel x. She also mentioned that she was in the process of getting rid of some of the previous owners products for ones that are more beneficial for nails. Marys attention to detail is unmatch. Also, want to mention I just met her for the first time but felt like we've been friends for years. The salon is super warm and welcoming I left with stunning nails. Like in disbelief that my nails looked so good. Truly left with a new personality. Look at after photos for proof. Cannot wait to come back and try some new colors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    The best always! Lana is so talented Couldn't recommend OK Nail Bar enough! The salon is clean & the quality of service is always consistent.

    Lana is the absolute best no one even compares. Her Russian manicure is quick and perfect every time! I went through so many different nail techs no one could ever get the shape I wanted they were either too fat or would break easily. If you're looking for a great nail tech try her out you won't regret it!

    IN LOVE. Look at those clean clean cuticles!! New nail spot for me and I've always wanted to try Russian Nails. It's dry and they remove EVERYTHING. I mean everything. My nails and cuticles have never felt so clean. They have parking (it's a busy little lot but there was ample small parking). The owner was so lovely, friendly and accommodating. Always checking to make sure our drinks were full and we were happy. I'll be back!

    I had to update my review because just look at these gorgeous holiday nails! I wanted elegant sparkle and Kristina delivered once again. Stunning!!

    I'm sorry to say I will not return here. I had one of the worst mani/pedicures ever. The nail techs I was seeing have moved on, and so will I. Why I'm not coming back? 1) Having a Russian manicure should not be painful. It was. 2) My cuticles were not cut back far enough and already I had to trim them myself. 3) My nails were trimmed unevenly, and again, I had to touch them up. 4) No base coat was applied before the polish. 5) Cuticle oil was never applied. The tech was nice, but for $120, she didnt get job done.

    It has been a while since I've left a nail appointment and felt satisfied with how they look. Let me just say, I am in love with the outcome and can't stop obsessing! I think Kimberly was the one to help me, and she did a phenomenal job. Can't wait to make this my new go to!

    I've had quite a few Russian manicures before, but Kristina truly gave me one of the best. Her attention to detail and gentle touch during the cuticle work were incredible. I'm so happy with how my nails turned out. The salon is also very clean and cute. Thank you, OK Nail Bar!

    I absolutely cannot get enough of OK Nails!! Of all the salons in LA this is the most consistent and warm experience. Kristina is such a perfectionist, no matter the ask she always delivers beautiful nails!! Mary has done an incredible job with this salon experience. Always so friendly. Going back every time!!

    Really disappointed in this manicure.

    I had high hopes for this place, but sadly have to admit that I'm disappointed. Pros: 1. Cute, very clean place 2. Easy to get an appointment 3. Good customer service via text (I booked the wrong date and they were accommodating) 4. Pedicure - My feet look brand new. The callous removal was great. Cons: 1. 4 days later and my cuticles are peeling like nuts - I've had a Russian manicure before and have never had them cut like they did them at this place 2. I can't speak to the gel color options, but the regular color options are few and very old lady-esque. They also only have a few of the options they present on the menu. 3. I chose a color and asked if it was nude. They told me it was. They put it on and it was lilac. I said it wasn't nude, and she still insisted it was nude. Check the picture. It's lilac. I hate lilac. 4. They advertise offering beverages, including champagne. I wasn't offered anything. Still undecided if I will be back. The pedicure was good, but the other aspects were disappointing.

    Nail salon reached out and was able to accommodate my needs by being less aggressive with the filing and no lifting on my nails this time.

    I've been going to Georgyanna for almost 10 years now. Since she's up in LA and I work in Orange…read moreCounty, it is a bit difficult to get to her all the time--especially since she is always booked up so far in advance. I have to admit I have cheated on her a few times when I've had emergencies like weddings or last minute hot nights out on the town and she couldn't fit me in. Boy does that ever make me appreciate her more, not to mention regret even entertaining the notion of going elsewhere! She is hands down, simply the best there is, which is why she has been written up in so many magazines, including Vogue, Allure, Lucky and GQ, just to name a few! The press, her celebrity clientele and fans (including me) rave about her BUFF and NAIL INK! For the best mani and pedi in all of Southern California, and quite possibly the world, make sure you make an appointment with Georgyanna--she doesn't accept walk-ins!

    Georgia's mani-pedi is the BEST I have ever found. Believe me, I have tried. I live 45 min away and…read morestill come (when I can) to her for the safest, cleanest, most medically precise mani-pedi ever. She is one of the few medical manicurists approved by Cedars Sainai hospital. Your nails will only look healthier after each visit. Nails are her passion. And she always dispenses great foot advice. When I asked a friend whose nails started looking amazing what she was doing differently, she simply said "Georgia". Make sure you have an appointment and time. Mani-pedis take 2 hours or an hour for each one. She's a perfectionist. At the time of this review, a mani pedi is $70. Her hours are 6am-1pm. She will do polish, but she's renowned for her buff.
