    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 came here on NYE because unbeknownst to me the nail shop that I usually go to was closed and…read morethis place was open and nearby. BIG mistake. I've been getting gel manicures for 20+ years and when the nail tech cuts your cuticles , sometimes, not often , there can be a small amount of blood. This particular nail tech cut too deep and my finger was bleeding profusely. Initially the tech didn't apologize and she attempted to continue to polish with WET blood dripping down my nail an all over my finger the dip the brush back in the polish. Very unsanitary. I had to literally stop the service myself multiple times. The pictures attached is after I applied pressure for 10 minutes and cleaned it a bit but as you can see it's STILL bleeding. My nails look horrible. The owner was friendly but I will never come here again.

    Super bummed to have to update my review (I've posted 2 positive reviews previously). Cam & her…read morestaff have been so kind, but last time I got acrylics they weren't sealed well so after only 1.5 weeks I had to get a fill and multiple of my nails turned green due to bacteria/ fungus from water getting in between my nail and the acrylic. I figured it was a one time thing and trusted after this fill it wouldn't happen again. However, after only 1.5 weeks after that fill, more of my nailed started turning green. I went in today to have my acrylics removed and was charged $15 for the removal and this is what was underneath. It's going to take months to grow out and I'm super disappointed because I was looking forward to having a new nail place so close to me with friendly staff. Again, Cam and her staff are so nice and welcoming, but after this happening twice I won't be returning.

    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.

    Literally huge scammers. This was my second time going, it's next to my house so I tried to give…read morethem another shot. I just was charged $55 for a gel manicure because my nails had a builder gel on them and they had to do "a removal."Something in 20 years of getting my nails done I've never heard of. The last time I did my nails here they peeled off within a day and I had to go have them fix it. Absolutely officially the worst nail salon I have EVER visited.
