I had such a great experience at this nail salon, I genuinely had to come leave a review because…read morethe level of care and detail did not go unnoticed. The salon itself is clean, relaxing, and has such a calm, welcoming vibe -- you can actually unwind instead of feeling rushed or herded through like an assembly line. Everything felt intentional and well-kept. And Grace... she is THAT girl. Her attention to detail is unreal. She took her time, made sure everything was shaped perfectly, and didn't cut corners at all. You can tell she really cares about her work and takes pride in what she does. My nails came out flawless -- clean, precise, and exactly what I wanted (honestly even better). On top of that, she's so sweet and easy to talk to, which just makes the whole experience even better. It didn't feel transactional, it felt like being taken care of. If you're booking here, ask for Grace -- she's the one. I'll definitely be coming back! :)

I recently tried the nail salon right under my office after not getting my nails done for a few…read moremonths. Living in Santa Monica, I was tired of the sky-high prices at salons, so I decided to check this place out since they quoted me only $39 for a gel manicure - a pretty decent price compared to what I've seen in Santa Monica. The experience was okay. The gel lasted me about 2-3 weeks before it started chipping, so while the quality wasn't extraordinary, I'd say you get what you pay for. For $39, it's a solid deal, significantly when most salons around LA charge at least $50 for a regular gel manicure. This salon doesn't offer gel builder manicures, which last much longer but cost significantly more. If you need your nails done quickly and don't want to break the bank, this place is a great option. Perfect if you're prepping for an event or just looking for something affordable. Just know that the wear and tear might show after a couple of weeks, but it's hard to complain about the price!

It says walk ins welcome, but... Even though we called in…read moreahead we still were not welcome. My Mom lives in the neighborhood, & this is usually her go to when she needs a mani pedi. My Mom is immune compromised due to chemo. If you are immune compromised this is not the place for you! They do not use clean instruments. Or files. Everything is just sitting in the trays in their carts. Never did I see them open a sterile package with tools. At least the women who did my moms Mani pedi were nice. The ones that did mine acted like they were mad. Maybe mad why they had to fit us in? I don't know but it was obvious they were mad. Very unfriendly & kept speaking to one another in their language like they were pissed off. Especially the woman who did my toes. Manhandling & she even cut me, and waited until the very end of the pedicure to say sorry. The cut hurt! And she even needed to get up to get disinfectant & acted even more mad. She also stopped with the nippers after so the pedicure was terrible. One of my Big toes with the gel is all lumpy too. Luckily I have muiprocin at home, it's an anti staph ointment to rub my toes down with, otherwise I'd be really worried about infection. I feel like if she wasn't so mad she probably would not have cut me, & maybe done a better job? I only gave two stars because we were previously happy here in the past. Otherwise would be a one star. This was not my first time here with my Mom, & we were beyond disappointed. It was definitely our last..

I don't know anyone to doze off while getting a manicure but I'm certain I'm not he first. Sat down with Lisa who appeared to be shy. The first 10 minutes were really quiet. It wasn't until I spoke to her then she started to converse w me. It was a bit awkward being so close in proximity and not speaking but I can say we're best friends lol. She's so sweet. A true professional and knows her craft well. I will make this a habit and come see her a couple times a month going forward. I'm not familiar w he market value of manicures but for the transformation of my hands, $20 plus a $10 tip was worth it. Lisa was firm yet gentle w my hands. She worked fast too. I nodded off twice and I was done. Thanks Lisa and everyone here. Til next time. 5 stars.

Review for Zoe - Service performed is biosculpture gel…read moremanicure refill on fingernails. Quality is excellent, no chipping even though I tend to be rough with my nails and wash my hands a lot. Zoe is detailed and really looks at every angle of each nail to review her work. She's also respectful of my requests, listens to and addresses concerns, you just have to communicate it from the beginning so they know. I've also gone to Shak and Sarah before for gel manicures and observed how they check their work of every nail angle too. I am hooked on their biosculpture gel manicure. It was $85 before, but increased to $90. If you pay cash it's $5 less. I often walk here, safe neighborhood, but they have a decent parking lot if you drive. I usually stick to a solid color or French tips (extra $20-$30 depending on length) and have been coming in every 3 weeks or so. The workers usually chitchat with each other in Mongolian. I actually prefer to not have to talk to anyone when getting my nails done since it's my time to decompress, so this works out for my personality lol. I'd be interested in trying their pedicures, dazzle dry, and nail art in the future. Attaching a before and after with very clean regrowth after over 3 weeks. Edit 5/6/26: added a photo of my nail growth journey. I started with regular gel end of February with short nails (left pic), then started Biogel end of March, and here we are beginning of May (right pic). My natural nails have never been this long before. I had Oyu yesterday for the first time, I am highly sensitive to heat spikes (when drilling or the UV lamp) so the first few minutes of drilling were very painful and had to keep telling her, but same situation with Sarah before regarding heat spikes, that I just had to tell them and they later adjust how heavy or light they press. Oyu learned to adjust to go lighter with the drill and felt much better. So tip if you're sensitive like me, it's important to have that conversation with your nail tech. Kai was also there answering questions regarding when to do biogel refills or when I would need to do new set. He is a subject matter expert and explains well.
