I love Paint Bar, the quality of their services is great, it is a but pricey for the area but honestly most places in LA will charge 60+ for a mani now a days and most of those other salons aren't even good. They also have levels for their techs so they have senior techs, which are pricier, and junior techs who are still very talented, If you want good art I would go with one of the senior techs. The parking is a bit annoying, only street parking and meters of 1 hour but that is honestly not in their fault and its LA after all. Many times they have helped to feed the meter. I give them a 9.5/10 read more

I just found this place and love it! I've been to so many nail art places and this one is awesome. Local to Culver City. They have a ton of colors and design options. Kinga really knows what she is doing. read more

What a gem of a spot! I accidentally freaked out a lady waiting for the same restaurant as myself because I was so obsessed with how beautiful her nails were. As soon as she told me where she had them done I booked immediately, and now I can never imagine going to another place. Incredibly precise, and detailed these girls really love and enjoy what they do because it shows in their art! So so happy I went and can't wait for my appointments to follow! read more

These ladies take great care of you! I went in with very thin beat up nails and they knew just what products to use and managed to save them and keep my natural length. I love the shape and color. And the gel mani last and hold up well. The environment is inviting, clean and peaceful. I love that they use vegan and toxic free products! They care a great deal about their job and it shows in their work and customer service. I will definitely be going back! read more

I love coming to Paint Bar for gel manis and regular pedis! They specialize in gel, so I recommend you check them out for their gel services, although all services I've had have been great. I've seen Kinga, Sofia, Tania, and Dara. All nail techs are highly capable of detailed nail art- Dara is the best and she is also so kind and sweet!!! For the services and detailed Russian manicures you are receiving, the prices are actually really, really affordable and reasonable, as well as the time for services. (I've had gel manicures at other places that have taken much, much longer and the prices were astronomically high.) Paint Bar is also in a really cute part of Palms, down the street from Coffee Commissary and next to good restaurants. Kinga, the owner, always remembers me when I walk in- I love the care shown to regular clients- she also manages their Instagram! There are lots of regulars who you will see at Paint Bar and there is a reason why! Always good service, reasonable prices, great nail art, and fabulous selections of non-toxic gel colors. Try Paint Bar and you won't regret it! People don't believe my long nails are real- but they're real, and they're spectacular. ;) read more

Such a cute nail salon. Dara is so sweet and did a amazing job. I love this hot pink! read more

This is the best place for nail art, by far. I always come here when I'm in LA. I'm dreaming of the day when they open a location in NYC.

Just stumbled upon this new nail salon in Palms! They had such a wide selection of colors and nail art options. My nails came out great and the owner was very warm and inviting! read more

Paint Bar - Valentine's nails by Kinga - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Can't say enough good things about Paint Bar! I went the first time because it's walking distance from my apartment and I just wanted something easy, even though I knew the prices were higher than I normally pay. I told myself "just this once." Now I'm hooked! My nails have always been brittle and weak and I've NEVER been able to grow them out. After a few months of coming here my nails are in the best shape they have ever been. They are strong and healthy and have actually grown out long. The gel manicures last 3 weeks with no chipping or peeling and they look amazing. "Just this once" has turned into "I would never go anywhere else." Totally worth the price!! read more

I came here last week. cute salon and good service but their prices are pretty high up there IMO, just not worth it -- other salons can do the same (if not better) for more reasonable prices. read more

Tatianna was amazing. Love my nails!!! She was fast but also meticulous and very sweet. Super happy

I've only had one service there but I loved it. I am not someone who can keep nails for more than a week without them looking months old. I'm on week 3 and aside from the new mail coming in, they still look great. read more

Amazing service! Kinga is super friendly and an excellent nailtech professional! I'll definitely come back. Can't recommend this place more highly. I feel most of the bad reviews here are unfair since ppl just want to get free service. read more

I tried out Paint Bar because I was looking to do something new with my nails and the salon was highly rated. All I can say is it lived up to expectations. While I was uncertain about the time investment and the cost, I am now completely sold and have already booked my next appointment. The time flew by because the environment is so pleasant. If you haven't tried their style of dry manicure before, you will be very happy with the results. My cuticles are healthy and I'm on week three of perfect nails and healthy looking growth. This manicure just lasts and lasts and I spent a week in a swimming pool and ocean. My pedicure is also holding up really well under the same circumstances. I encourage anyone looking for a gel manicure with fun nail art to go here. read more

What I went through to get my nails done made me extremely uncomfortable. I normally don't call out racist experiences but it is clear this place is catered to white people. As a black woman I was treated very rudely. This was 3rd time going there and as much as I like the nail technique that is done here I don't want to feel like Ruby Bridges while getting my nails done. read more

I usually don't write reviews but I am beyond pleased with my experience at Paint Bar!! I've been getting gel nails at other local spots, but I find that it usually doesn't last longer than 1.5 weeks. I did some research and found Paint Bar and decided to splurge. It's way more expensive than other local places (I usually pay $35 + tip..... at PB I paid $60 + tip for plain gel with no art). HOWEVER....it is worth it. If you're looking for high quality, a nice experience, talented technicians, cleanliness, an elevated ambiance and superb service...it's worth it! Love that I can book online, choose my nail tech, and plan my visit with ease. The owner is super friendly and nice, and made me feel very welcomed. It's only been a few hours so I'll check back in 2-3 weeks to see how my nails last! Tldw: if you're willing to splurge this is well worth every penny. read more

The manicures look great, but if you want to get it removed, you have to pay the full price of another manicure. They have no option for just gel removal like other salons. Maybe I would have booked a new manicure if the longevity wasn't so bad in the first place. I needed the removal because a nail fell off within 1 week. read more

Amazing service...! Love this place. Very clean, friendly and great concept. Thank you..!

I didn't used to get my nails done because manicures would never last on me for more than a week. My nails would always peel or break even if they were gel. Last year I started to get my nails done with Kinga, the owner, and she figured out why my manicures wouldn't last. Now I only get my nails done with her and they last for weeks! She never disappoints and she always does very creative designs. I'm so happy she opened her own nail salon. The place is decorated beautifully too! read more

Terrible customer service, my gel started to peel within a day. I called but no one answers so they say to text. I sent a text with a picture of my nails. It took them three days to respond and they told me they could fit me in that day at 4:30pm. I have two small children and wasn't available with such short notice. I asked if they could do any day but first thing in the am when they open. They said, we can fit you in at 11:45am. Then another nail started to peel, I said I will come any day but it has to be when they open at 10am...no response for 4 days. They started to text me with insults and telling me how accommodating they have been by offering two times! Ha, what a joke! The place is filthy inside and if you are charging 65-75 for a gel manicure, it better last! read more

I went in last Saturday afternoon to get my nails done and love the design. $100 for full nail art is pretty pricy but it was a treat for myself. Unfortunately by Saturday night I noticed that one of my thumbs was already lifting because the polish wasn't all the way to the end of my nail. Well by today (Wednesday), it's very much lifted off and there's a gap between my polish and my nail. Other nails are starting to lift too. Pretty disappointed, as gel is supposed to last much longer than 1-5 days. Probably won't return. I've gone to other nail salons that are a bit cheaper and my gel lasts 3+ weeks. read more

Wow- I have truly never been so impressed with a nail salon. The attention to detail, the artistry, and the warm and welcoming attitude of Kinga and her staff is out of this world. My nails have never looked so beautiful! read more

Paint Bar - Orange French ombré nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

$60 for a gel mani makes me think I'm getting the best. They were very efficient and precise (I was in and out in 20 min) but absolutely no extras. No soaking, no massage, no lotion. I'm a little rough on my nails but gel usually lasts me a week. Mine started chipping after 1 day and peeling after 5 days. Do not recommend for the price. I've heard they go great art, but mine was basic 1 color. read more

I love this place. I stumbled upon it the other week as I was looking for a new place. I had been going to Varnish Lab but was getting varying results each time. I got a manicure from Dara and she was excellent. She paid so much attention to detail the whole time, including during the fun designs. I also love their dry pedicure where they actually get all the callouses off. I used to mostly do my own nails at home, but I am officially converted into a regular. Already have another appt booked. The only two suggestions I would have is adding a red polish because I am dying to get some cherries on my nails and to add some wine during the experience. Obviously not a deal breaker though :) read more

OKAY I think I found it... BEST NAIL BAR ON THE WEST SIDE!! I am thrilled about this. I've gone to a countless number of nail salons around LA and I found the holy grail. So much to say, but I'll keep it short. Nail Bar is a quaint, charming nail shop with the most wonderful staff. Truly. Everyone is extremely talented and I don't say that too often as I'm typically picky about who I get my nails done by, but not here! Jontel was the first face I met and she is absolutely delightful. The owner, Kinga, is also super sweet and does a great job! Overall, so excited for this little gem in Culver and happy to say I found my go-to spot. Thanks Paint Bar!!! read more

I will never go anywhere else for a nail appointment. They do the highest quality work I've ever seen. Legitimately all of the staff are super talented. I've never been one to take care of my nails--mine always peel/chip, and who knew cuticle care was such a big deal? The specialized techniques they use are exactly what I needed. read more

I walked past this nail salon in my neighborhood about six months ago. When I walked in, they were extremely rude mind you they're new to the neighborhood so I wanted to take a look. The first encounter first impression was not the best so I left and decided I wasn't gonna come back. Today I go in there and I'm patiently standing waiting at the front. I did not hear the person say hello but the African-American girl that was sitting at the front acknowledged me and she told me to wait kindly and I kindly waited. The owner which I did not know she was the owner comes to me and says that they are fully booked. I never asked whether or not they were booked or not all I wanted to know was what a dry pedicure was. This is the second time that I have encountered, poor customer service. I will not get my nails done there because your first impression is obviously your ever lasting impression and the second impression was a shame on me. So for that they do not get my business because they have poor customer service they do not know how to approach people, disappointed because they could've made a lot of money off of me and I pay big money. It's unfortunate that I gotta give them a star to get this post it but if it was me, I wouldn't even give them one star. read more

Dropped into this place today, and so glad I did! After having gel nails done for years at other salons, I don't think I've ever had an ACTUAL manicure until today. A lot of time was spent cleaning and prepping my nails and they feel so healthy and strong. I had a nice clean nude gel applied and I LOVE my fresh clean manicured look. Can't wait until my next appointment to try some of the cool nail art. Thank you, I'll be back! read more

I think i discovered the BEST NAIL PLACE on the wets side!!! read more
