The service was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every second of it! The employee Kat definitely knew what she was doing and I fully trusted her with my nails. I picked a difficult design but Kat did amazing job doing it, and I was so happy with the results! Definitely going back later in the summer to get more nails! read more

They have a great atmosphere. Very professional staff and great services. I got biogel french manicure and pedicure. It was a little pricey but worth it. Montana Nail is probably the best nail salon option on Montana Ave. WAY BETTER than Tracy Nail. Don't go there. read more

Updating my review after finding Mindy. Although my first experience at the salon wasn't a positive one, I decided to give it another try with Mindy, and I'm glad I did. Mindy does beautiful, consistent gel fills with great attention to shape and detail. My manicures have lasted about three weeks, and the soft almond shape is exactly what I asked for. I bring my own OPI Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny polishes, and she's happy to use them. She listened carefully to my preferences, respected that I don't have my cuticles cut, and was extremely thorough. She checked every finger and carefully trimmed the small hangnails that needed attention, which I really appreciated. The owner was also pleasant during this visit, and overall the experience felt much more positive. My nails look elegant, natural, and beautifully finished. If you're looking for a skilled nail technician, I highly recommend requesting Mindy. read more

They do a good job but don't expect kind or friendly service. And it's really expensive! I asked about the differences between hard gel, regular gel, fills, etc etc. and no one could or would answer and they were annoyed that I asked. Patience and kindness go a long way. This is my neighborhood spot and it doesn't feel neighborhood friendly. :-( read more

Taking my wife here today for a pedicure at Montana Nail and had a wonderful experience. Mr. Luu, the owner, is incredibly friendly and welcoming--he made me feel comfortable right away. Dylan, my wife's nail technician, was very skillful and professional. He did an excellent job and paid great attention to detail. The salon itself is clean, spacious, and has a relaxing atmosphere. Everyone there was kind and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Montana Nail and will definitely be coming back! read more

Pedicures are great here but manicure with builder gel is not worth the price at all ($85, does not include any cuticle trimming) Manicure is lumpy, bumpy, uneven and left me unsatisfied. Photos are from 30min after appt. read more

Tina was great! I highly recommend this place. She did an amazing job on my nails. The salon is also very nice

I was a walk‑in and was fortunate to have Tina do my gel removal and manicure. She was very precise and gentle during the removal, and her nail prep for the gel manicure was extremely thorough. I've also had a classic pedicure from her on a previous visit, and it lasted over three weeks with zero chipping. The salon is clean and the entire staff is very kind. Even when they're busy, I've never felt like my service was rushed. read more

I got my nails done over a month ago but waited to post a review so I could comment on the quality/longevity of the nails. TLDR: I had a wonderful experience!! Great service and ambience. The nails lasted over 4 weeks. Parking: Easy! There is a lot of parking behind the salon. Even with the event going on, I was just able to find a spot. Ambience: Super cute! I went during a Yelp Elite event so there were snacks and drinks out but even without those, the salon is very aesthetic and clean. Very spacious. Service: Wonderful! Everyone I interacted with was very nice and professional. Everything was clean and sanitary. They give you gloves to protect your hands from the UV. My tech was very thorough in her work imo. My gel manicure experience took about an hour. It's not the cheapest salon in the area but is pretty fair. Of note, I think most staff/techs speak some English. However, my tech had very limited English proficiency so communication was quite difficult. It would have been helpful if another staff member (some techs were waiting, without clients) was able to help communicate on my behalf (my preferred color, shape, etc; what's popular; what looks good with what). Nail Quality: I don't get my nails done often but I think these turned out very well! Not a single cut on my nails or cuticles during the shaping/filing process (my skin is sensitive). All my nails shapes were even. Most importantly, the nails LASTED. By the fourth week, there were maybe two small chips. I didn't take a photo, but even at 5 weeks, you wouldn't have been able to tell that I got them done over a month ago (other than because of the nail growth). read more

Not a good experience. Tina, who did my pedi was great but Ha didn't cut my cuticle enough so when she painted, the paint was all jagged. After complaining, she tried to fix it by putting MORE paint on and not fixing it. Then when I was checking out and told the manager, he gave me $8 off... 8!!! They definitely play favorites here with the customers. Quite sad. read more

Leo is the best!!!! my nails always look consistently good and last. beautiful salon and great color selection

So happy I found this place! It was a great first experience, from when I called and spoke with Luu to make an appointment for a basic hand polish change. My nails are natural, strong and hard, and needed to be cut, which I do about every 4 weeks. The salon is spacious, and most importantly, does not smell like toxic chemicals as most do. My manicurist, Mai, was excellent. The price was fair, $15. I'd been going to Beverly Hills to get my nails done. Why? Because I'd had SO MANY problems finding a good place in Santa Monica. Here are some examples: when you look away for two seconds, they cut your cuticles, even though it is AGAINST STATE LAW. I've also looked away and had my toenails cut down to nothing, where I had to go to the doctor. Another practice is trying to upsell you on other services while you're sitting there. None of this happened, thank heavens, and I highly recommend this place! I also noted a good brand (Josh) of complimentary wine on the way out, along with some snacks. Maybe next time. read more
