    I had a fantastic experience at Studio Mar. Thaina did a great job with meticulous cuticle prep and beautiful nail art. The studio is clean and comfortable with a calming ambiance, and there was free coffee and water available. I find that the prices are more than fair for the quality of service, considering the time and care taken. The studio is located along a retail section of Venice Boulevard with metered parking. There's free parking at the CVS across the street.

    Marina is the most talented nail artist I've ever been to! I've been seeing her for years and I have yet to find an Instagram nail design she can't replicate or improve! She has helped me grow my natural nails so long and keep them super healthy. Studio Mar is run by her and Paula - another gem of a girl boss. The atmosphere is super cute and friendly. Note - they do a Russian style manicure and pedicure, so it's considered "dry" and there are no foot/hand soaks. Also if you are doing anything complicated it will take 2-3 hours - so keep that in mind!

    My second time coming to Mar Nail Retreat and my nails have never been this beautiful. They truly take their time on perfecting your manicure. The studio is so clean, calming and welcoming. They offer you tea or a refreshing drink when you first walk in. They have a beautiful variety of colors / styles to choose from. Marina (The sweetest owner) did my first mani with chrome and it last a little over a month with no chipping! I received so many compliments on my nails. Thaina just did my cat eye mani in pink for Valentine's Day and they're gorgeous ! Thank you ladies. I've never loved my manicures as much as now.

    This is my second time getting my nails done at Studio Mar and omg I am just so in love with their technique. I decided to treat myself to some birthday nails and Thaina did an absolutely beautiful job! I can not stop staring at them. Thank you so much again Thaina and Studio Mar!

    Have been to Thaina twice. She does BEAUTIFUL work. Absolutely meticulous. First dry gel manicure was still perfect at 5 weeks, but growth prompted second appt. She did not disappoint. manicure is perfect (see picture).

    I had a very disappointing experience with Juliet's Nails. About an hour before arriving, I called…read moreto ask about pricing and whether walk-ins were accepted. Since the appointment was for my 101-year-old patient who uses a wheelchair, I wanted to make sure we could be accommodated. When we arrived, I hadn't even made it fully inside before I asked if there was another entrance that was wheelchair accessible. The employee immediately responded, very rudely, "No, we're booked," without any apology or explanation. I was confused because I had called beforehand and was never told that they were fully booked. I calmly explained that I had called earlier, and instead of trying to help or clarify the situation, she insisted I must have called the wrong number and continued speaking with an unpleasant attitude. There was no apology for the misunderstanding, no effort to assist, and no consideration for the fact that I had brought a 101-year-old client there. The lack of professionalism, customer service, and basic courtesy was shocking. Even if they were fully booked, a simple apology or polite explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, it was a complete waste of time and an unnecessarily frustrating experience. I would not recommend this business based on how we were treated.

    As of July 2026, they have 3 levels of manicures and pedicures. A - basic: cut and shape, cuticles,…read morelotion, polish. B- mid: cut and shape, cuticles, callous removal, sugar scrub, hot lotion with 4 min massage, a hot towel, polish. C- highest end, all of B plus paraffin and 10 min massage. I opted for B as a pedicure only with regular polish. The callous removal was the standard pumice that most places include and they didn't use hot lotion. The list said it was $46. I also got French Tips, which are not on the list but they told me would be $10. I paid with cc and they charged me $60. I think they have a $2 processing fee and just didn't do math right on the other $2. The price list tells you that you get a complimentary drink with purchase and to tip generously (which I find tacky), but no drink was offered. They did a good job and were very friendly. They listened and corrected areas when asked, but overall didn't need a lot of direction (shape of nail, thickness and shape of French tip). The place was clean and calm. I think $60 for what I consider a basic pedicure is very high. I would definitely come back as the service was good, but will try other less costly places. Pedicure prices, regular paid A - $30, B- $46, C - $75. If I recall the manicures were about $5 less. These are all steep (C basically only includes 6 mins more of a massage and a paraffin dip for $30 more!) I think they should be closer to $25, $35, and $50 respectively.

    It's been a while since I've posted a review for Lucky Nails!…read more Since my first review years ago, I have been coming to this Salon. Ever. Since. I could go on and on about the lovely women running this place and their team but I will just let the work speak for itself.
