My favorite nail spa on the Westside! Staff is very kind and attentive and do a great job. If a nail breaks, they are more than happy to fix it for you. They just remodeled as well and it looks beautiful! Prices are very good as well for the location. Could not recommend them enough! read more

I was really looking forward to trying this new spa, and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. I came in mainly to have my calluses removed, but a lot of them were still left after the pedicure. I also asked if my nails could be cut shorter, but I was told they were short enough already. I personally prefer my nails much shorter, so I wish they had listened to my preference. I was also looking forward to the foot massage and had even planned to purchase an extra 20 minutes, but I didn't receive one at all. The manicure wasn't great either--the cuticles and nail cleanup weren't done as neatly as I expected. The spa itself is very cute and has a nice atmosphere, but I left feeling disappointed with the service. Sadly, I don't think I'll be returning, and I'll probably try a different salon next time. read more

Best nail place I have been to in LA - competitive prices and always quality service no matter which technician you see, Tyler is my fave but all amazing. Gel nails last so long and they take such time and care to do an immaculate job. Friendly people read more

The costs are far above any salon in the area. While they are nice, would not recommend nor will go again

I've been to My Nail Bar a few times over the years and I can't recommend them enough!! The nail techs are so talented and nice. read more

Mediocre. The guy tried to upcharge left and right which was annoying because I had called to check price beforehand. He didn't do the best job- edges of nail popping out and noticing imperfections. Upcharging an extra $5 for me wanting shorter nails is strange. Industry practice is to charge more for longer nails as more product is used This was for a regular acrylic fill read more

Despite living on the other side of the city, this is my go to nail salon. the service is great, everyone is so friendly, and my nail art always comes out looking incredible. The nails also last and are super high quality. can't recommend this place enough!! read more

My Nail Bar is the best! My nails always look great, and all of the staff is always so nice and thorough. Love Yubi and Apple especially!

I don't usually write reviews like this, but I think it's important to be honest about my experience. 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! read more

Didn't live my experience here. They misled me with the price until it was too late. Plus you're getting a manicure on a stool. Super uncomfortable and uncomfortable more expensive than other places in the area. read more

I have been coming here foreverrrrrr and as usual Jaden is the best at acrylics! Structurally sound nails done by a true perfectionist that easily last for three weeks. I read an earlier review and I actually happened to be there at the time and I can honestly say that they are ALWAYS very professional and pleasant ... even when an entitled passive aggressive gaslighting customer comes in the shop. Try it, you'll love them but don't take my weekend a.m. space, please :) read more

This used to be my favorite nail bar. I went last week and got a gel manicure. The gel came off in 4 days. The owner who I used to love was bored and apathetic at best, when I asked what colors best match toes & fingers. Definitely not going back. read more

I've tried quite a few nail salons; this one stands out. Worth the drive past 3 other places! Why? The calm, friendly vibe. Comfy chairs, focus on cleanliness, wide variety of nail options. But the best is the gentle way Apple (she's fab!) treats my nails and nail bed...and the deep strong massage! The only place I'll get a Pedi in LA. read more

My Nail Bar - Love my toes! - Waxing Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Came here for fill since the place I usually go wasn't available and could not believe how I was treated. I have never had this experience at a nail salon prior. I came in for a hard gel fill, when I asked if they have UV protective gloves (my other nail salon offers them) he looked at me blankly, said something in his native tongue to his co workers. He was agitated. He brought back something that looked like a fabric you put your hand in but fully covers your hand and didn't look like a UV glove.. I asked politely if this was a UV glove, he stares back and makes a rude remark saying if you don't want to stay here you can go. That's exactly what I did. I'm floored, say to safe I will not be returning and did not appreciate being treated that way. Again, I have never experienced this at a nail salon before. Gross energy. read more

This is about my third time coming here, it's close to home so I decided to give it a try. Both times I have gotten gel on my toes they have chipped. I didn't complain the first time bc I thought it was a one off. Last time I went I did gel on my toes and gel x on my hands. They chipped off again. I called before going in today they looked up my info with my phone number and told me I don't need an appointment, I can walk in, nothing more. Once I showed up they told me it would cost $10 per nail to fix it. I've been doing gel and gel x for years and I have never had gel x chip. I reiterated this to three different people, the last one was crabby and unpleasant and had zero regard for customer service. I have a big celebration on Saturday and now I'm stressed and will pay elsewhere for another full set . Don't bother coming here, unless you're looking for a 2 week or less mani/pedi; customer service is terrible. read more

Sadly these nails only lasted me a few days. The gel polish wasn't cured correctly and the layers were smearing everywhere I had to take them off. The nails were also expensive even though they were crooked and had access product on the side. read more

They do a great job, friendly, great color selection. Rewards program is nice. They are also pretty quick.

I asked for a simple Gel X set with nude polish--nothing complicated. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The tech rushed through the appointment, was rough, and paid no attention to detail. It was clear they didn't even know what a nude polish looked like. I tried to be patient and gave feedback on adjustments, but nothing improved. Eventually, I gave up and went to another salon to have my nails fixed. I should have trusted my gut when I saw their dog acting out at the front door as customers walked in. Definitely won't be returning. read more

My Nail Bar - What I asked for vs what I got - Waxing Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My Nail Bar is clean and simple but I wasn't thrilled with the service. I went for pedicures with a friend. We chose different pedicure options (basic and callus removal). Both list massage on what is included (and who doesn't love a good foot massage?). There was no massage. The "massage" was applying lotion to our legs and feet before putting on polish. When we asked the woman at the front said the massage was just a couple of minutes, and it wasn't even that. My nail person was not especially friendly and did not like that we asked about the massage option. There are many other great nail salons around, I won't be revisiting My Nail Bar. read more

Unfortunately I have to give them two starts because my $45 gel Manicure didn't last even a week. I got pedicure here once (last year) and they did a great job, but I wouldn't come back here for gel mani. Gel mani supposed to stay in place for 3 weeks and mine started chipping off after five days. Now, exactly a week after I visited here, more nails starting to chip off on the top. See pics. They probably don't use the best gel polish in the market. That's what happen when you prioritize profit over quality. I'm giving them two starts and not just one because they were able to get my in without an appointment and the customer service is ok. read more

Mimi was so kind and bubbly and precise and patient with my nails (with me being particular bc she was actually very fast) that I just had to write a nice review a few days later while I was just basking in the glory of the best manicure I've had in months possibly years. Thank you, Mimi!! read more

My mani pedi turned out EXCELLENT! My nails and toes were in terrible shape and now they sparkle. My first time here and I'm coming back. :)

I've been on the hunt for a new nail place ever since my old one burned down in the LA fires. This was hands down one of the best quality manicures I've ever gotten. They listened and communicated well about what shape was best for me and listened to my preferences and kept asking if it was looking okay during the process to make sure I was happy. I like how they didn't use power tools to remove my gel, which I think causes a lot of nail damage. The gel isn't too thick and seems less likely to catch or chip. The pedicure was gentle, which I appreciate because I have sensitive toes. The last place I went to literally cut a chunk out of my toe and didn't even say a word, I guess hoping I wouldn't notice?? Anyway, I'm grateful to find a new go-to place and am spreading the word to others. read more

Best nail salon in LA. My is so amazing and all of the staff is always so welcoming and nice. Not to mention the gorgeous atmosphere.

Clean nail spa with lots of polish options! Reasonable prices and friendly staff. You can make an appointment in advance and they are usually running on time. Oh and I love grabbing some chocolate on the way out. :-) Parking can be tricky but otherwise I recommend this nail salon! read more

I'm very picky about my nails, I usually do my own manicure at home with regular nail polish. This summer I decided I wanted gel nail polish and an almond shape. I've gone to Tyler twice now and he does an amazing job with the shape, thickness (looks very natural) and design. Salon is nice and clean and everyone is friendly. read more

Did a good job, but their pricing is a little suspect. I got a gel polish change on a GelX. I didn't get a fill, they merely polished the old color off and repainted - no actual manicure, took 15 min - and charged 45 bucks. Regular gel polish change was 25 and requires way more work (soak off etc.). read more

Always great customer service and very friendly staff. I appreciate that they always work to accommodate appointments at the same time for when I want to come in with a friend. read more

I absolutely love going to My Nail Bar as the staff are so sweet and the nail designs are amazing The one thing that I would hope could be better are their pedicures. They initially scrubbed my feet and it was a bit weak. I told them to please really scrub my heels and around my big toe because it's dry. They told me they did. I just got home and saw that they didn't (photo for reference) This doesn't require any callus remover, just a bit more effort. I've gone 4 times for a pedicure with 4 different people with the same result. Again, for manicure nail designs, this is definitely the place to go! read more
