This was one of the worst experiences I've had at a nail salon…read more My manicure started peeling after just a few days, and one nail broke. I came back to have it fixed, and they actually charged me for the repair, even though the manicure had barely lasted. I don't blame the technicians--they did a good job. The problem seems to be the old or poor-quality nail polish that doesn't last. The receptionist, Sasha, also ignored the technician I booked online and assigned me to someone else without any explanation. This has happened more than once. Her customer service is rude, and appointments don't seem to matter. On top of that, they charged me an extra $2 for using a credit card without telling me beforehand, and they don't even accept Apple Pay. It's not about the $2--it's about being transparent with customers. Between the poor-quality polish, charging for repairs after only a few days, the unprofessional front desk, and the hidden credit card fee, I won't be coming back or recommending this salon

I went for the first time last Friday to Santa Monica Nails to remove an old gel set and get…read moresomething for the Halloween season. This is only my second time getting gel so it's been a fun experience trying different styles / designs. I booked an appointment with Katherine as I saw she had good reviews and had time slots available. When I came in it wasn't very busy in the main room, but it sounded like there were some people in the other rooms getting pedicures I assume. Once Katherine came over, I showed her the design I was wanting and that I wanted to keep my nail shape the way they were since they were shaped at a previous gel appointment. The original inspo was more of a natural look with ghosts, but since my previous nails were an ombre French look, I decided I wanted a bolder color as the "background" to the ghosts. Katherine was very gentle and kind. I am usually a quiet person, but I debating on if I should chat with her. Eventually, I decided against it though since she seemed very focus on the nail designs and I didn't want to distract her. Plus I was getting pulled into the Love is Blind show on the TV. In the end, I was very happy with how my nails turned out. She had suggested glossy finish for the ghosts and matte on the background color. I wasn't 100% sure about this as I was so focused on the design in the inspo and just assumed the entire nail would be glossy, but I was willing to try and trust the process. Doing the contrast in finishes was actually a nice touch and helps the ghosts pop more. I also liked that she added mouths to the ghosts. In the inspo the ghosts only have eyes, but I liked that Katherine made the design her own and gave the ghosts more personality.

This is the best nail salon I've ever been to. I get dip because it's organic, doesn't harm my skin…read morew/ the UV light, and is the only thing that's ever made my nails grow long while lasting 3-5 weeks. Here's the thing, everywhere else I've ever been the technicians have lied to me and used gel on top of the dip or just not known how to do dip well. Every single person who's ever done my nails here has been a true master at the craft. Everyone is also very kind and I've never had trouble with availability or getting an appointment. They have also never, ever hustled me. There are salons nearby that may seem a little more glamorous, but they will nickle and dime you for everything, hustle you, rush you, and do not know their craft. This place does. I've cheated on them once with a local place like that and I hugely regretted it. If you come here, it will be your new spot. I LOVE 18K and I know you will too.

I don't respect non transparent pricing practices, in which they engage. If you tell a customer the price is one thing, it should be that price.

Repeating over and over a number that your own register doesn't agree with is not great customer service. My nails were nice, but pay at your own risk.
