    I love this shop! I've been a customer here since they opened and have never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly, dedicated to their craft, and very knowledge. Because of their commitment to cleanliness and sanitizing between customers, I've never experienced lifting of my nails or infections, unlike my expresiones at other nail shops. Claudia always does amazing work on my nails, no matter where I go my nails are a talking point. This is an appointment only shop and their appointments fill up fat so make sure to book yours in advance.

    I've been coming here for almost 2 years and this is hands down the best salon I've been to. Claudia is freaking amazing and will be my forever nail tech. She shapes my nails to perfection and can do any design I request. I refuse to go anywhere else. This salon is very clean with refreshments for customers. Can't ask for anything better.

    I have found my nail place!! I've been looking for a nail salon near home for the past three years. My nails always turned out crooked, or the general shape was always off or they lifted after a week. Claudia is AMAZING! She took great care to ensure each nail was perfect and she was really gentle. I absolutely adore them. Michelle was amazing as well and gave me one of the best pedicures I've had in a long time. This is the nail salon to go to!! I forgot to add, this is the cleanest nail salon I've ever been to. You will never have to worry about anything here.

    1st timer & let's just say I'll definitely be back (already scheduled my fill+pedi appt). Very nice and professional nail technicians as they engage in conversation with you, allowing you to feel welcomed. My nail technician, Michelle, did not rush through the nail designs which contributed to the amazing quality! P.S. I can't stop glancing at my nails and there's continuous compliments as I'm out and about.

    Ugh I wish y'all could see this irl because it's GORGEOUS. Love love love

    Literally just landed in LAX and BOOKED it straight to Claudia's. I'm from the east coast and where I live there aren't a lot of nail artists, and the ones who do offer fun art will charge the most INSANE prices. I've been following Claudia's work on Instagram for awhile now and I knew that this was the first place I wanted to go when I got to LA. I was about 20 minutes late (cri) but Claudia was so sweet to me and was able to fit me into her busy schedule. The salon is kinda tucked away and you have to go all the way around the back to get to it. Upon entering, Claudia's son greeted me warmly, offered me drinks, and showed me their extensive color selection. When it was time to start I literally had no solid idea of what I wanted. She was super patient with me though and helped me pick out this gorgeous icy, holographic, super blingy, and sparkly design. I told her I wanted to be EXTRA AF and boi she did not disappoint! Throughout the whole process she was very careful and constantly checked up on me to make sure nothing was hurting. We had such a fun time talking and it was just an amazing experience! Watching a nail tech do form acrylics is super cool and I've never seen it done in person! She really did each step with care and honestly created a piece of ART. I'm so happy with how it turned out! They're even more beautiful than the reference picture that I showed her! Overall, I highly recommend coming to Claudia because she really cares about you and does her best to give you exactly what you want! Probably come more prepared than me and know what you want lol. Also if you're doing a complicated design, be sure to leave aside a couple hours for her to work her magic! Beauty can't be rushed! But yea, photos don't do these nails justice. It's actually BLINDING in real life. Guess you'll just have to go to Unique Nail Studio and see for yourself;)

    Stain resistant top coat! A full days worth of about every hair color at the salon and my nails are untouched
    Marie R.

    I do hair & always have to get black nails because hair color stains them badly (even when I wear gloves they usually rip a little and I end up with one brown nail). This is the first place I've been to where I was given an option of a stain resistant coat! Jasmine hooked it up and I finally got the light nails I always wanted. You can see how messy I am at work in the photo I posted. I did black, purple, pink, copper, and brown and didn't use gloves when I shampooed and my nails look perfect. Ugh I'm so happy. All the ladies are really friendly and you can tell they love what they do and are very on top of the nail game. Thanks guys

    First time here and I love my nails! I am the pickiest person ever and had been jumping from nail shop to nail shop trying to find a shop that would do what I want and not give me what they think I want. I haven't been doing my nails since 2011 and decided to start getting them done again, so I was nail shop hopping only to be disappointed every single time. Until I met Claudia and she invited me to her shop. My family members highly recommended her so I decided to go. I have to say I'm so glad I went! The experience was like hanging out with my girlfriends while getting a service. These girls were great!! Thank you everyone!!!

    This is what I saw when I looked back at my previously confirmed appointment this afternoon when I showed up to my appointment.
    Winnie K.

    Not a very good first impression. So I called on Tue to make an appt and was able to make an appt for Friday at 2pm. Received a text on Thursday to confirm my appointment. Then on Friday, I get to my appointment and the doors are locked, the shop is closed, no one is picking up the phone, phone goes straight to voicemail, voicemail is full, and when I go back to the link where I had confirmed my appointment the day before it now shows "this appointment has been deleted". Wtf? Look, I don't usually post negative reviews, especially without hearing the other side's story. However, this is not how you treat customers. I understand that emergencies come up, but at least send a text or shoot your customer a phone call to let them know you won't be able to make the appointment or you are cancelling their appointment! Don't just delete their appointment via an app, close your doors, don't pick up the phone, and let them figure it out when they get there! That's just plain rude. Apparently this was an all day situation because another customer had also left a not so friendly note on their door stating they also came by for their appointment earlier in the day and was met with the same greeting as me. Again, if the staff/owner had an emergency, I hope everything is ok. But please be more considerate of your customers next time.

    Nude ombrè done by Michelle
    Michelle D.

    Short version: they have acrylic color powder!!! I love this because my nail color ALWAYS chips or fades or de colors since I work a lot with my hands. Girls are lovely and take their time to make sure it's perfect Long version: I went to a salon close to my house that did a HORRIBLE job.... I can't stress that enough. Contacted Claudia through yelp and she got back to me quickly with setting up my appointment. Very helpful and loved that they use modern technology to gain and keep customers. In my eyes, very helpful for people who are busy! I got placed with Michelle the nail tech and for once it was nice to have a conversation with someone who understood what I wanted and doubled checked when necessary. Taking off my old nails I got from the previous salon took some time and the material they used was terrible. So I'm happy Michelle took the extra time to ensure she was doing what was best. I choose to try the nude ombrè which I was hesitant about but hey, I tried it anyways. And turns out I love it. Almost looks like mocha. What was great during my visit is that Claudia was training two nail techs that were getting specific training and was cool to see and hear how acrylics were applied. A lot more difficult than we my think. All in all the experience was great. Shop is small but I would much rather that then a bigger salon and busier when they rush you in and out and don't take time with listening to customers. Once I'm back in town and. We'd a fill, I'll be seeing michelle for sure. Great job ladies!

    Very happy with the outcome, very personal and takes her time.
    Denise S.

    Great service! Claudia did a great job! I like that it was not crowded, I was not rushed out, and she was patient with me.

    Chocolate brown Gel by Michelle
    Jenny B.

    I think it's a hidden gem. It's in the back of the main retail/Main Street. I requested an appointment and heard back really fast and was able to get a same day appointment. The place is small, but all the ladies are really friendly, and they actually talk to you and not to each other. Although it was my first time they still shared their pictures with me and past events and stories they had, unlike other salons where they speak a foreign language do their job and you're done. They also offered me a drink when I came in. I had colors in mind that I wanted but when I told Michelle (I think that's my girls name) that I was looking for a fall color she said they had two new colors that weren't on the color wheel and she showed me. So I chose a chocolate brown color. We got right to business and I was done in about 35minutes. After the gel was applied there was a sugar hand scrub as well as a hot towel and lotion/massage.. I got gel polish for $35 on my natural nails. Love how they came out and loved the service, id definitely come back again :)

    Amazing!!
    Jen P.

    Everything about a nail spa that you always wanted.. friendly staff, creative artist, reasonable prices and amazing nails! Let me just say this is not your regular nail salon.. this is "the salon"! All of these girls truly know what they are doing and is so much fun to see them work their art!

    Gorgeous!! Thanks Unique!!! Xoxo
    Meomi O.

    Jasmine did my nails this week as Claudia was out of town and she did an incredible job! Every nail shaped absolutely perfectly and a stunning design with matte stilettos and stone bling. She does incredible work! Thank you Jasmine!

    My hand looks weird, these were nails I had done for a movie premiere at TLC in Hollywood. Love the splash of gold.

I think it was called Moda at one time but noticed the name was different now. I walked in and was surprised with how small the salon was. From the outside, it gives the illusion that it's bigger. I think 4 or 5 massage pedicure chairs and 2 manicure stations. Everyone was getting pedicures. I asked for a fill and was seated right away. My tech started with the usual routine. I was getting a little worried because she was filing down so much. But I went with it. She was working fast and that also made me worried. I felt like she was just trying to get me over and done with. We finally get to the color. I was choosing between red and a pink and told her I wasn't sure which one. And then she just went off. In a good way. She said 'red for Valentine's day'. She skipped over painting my ring fingers and I was wondering what she was going to do. She just decided to give me a pail pink color with a design that I didn't ask for. But you know what...I'm not mad about it!!! Check out the pics of my nails. Reasons why I'm giving this place a 20/10: - Was seated at 12:30pm and was done at 12:58pm. Under 30 minutes?! Unheard of. The reason she was working fast is because she's just that good. - The filing down that she was doing gave my nails a thin and smooth look. Making my nails look so natural. - The design would be nothing I would get because I think I'm too old for things like that now lol but... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY NAILS!!! - $40 for the best fill I've ever gotten. So worth it. Her name is Lee Be patient. It's a small salon and they want to accommodate you. I have found my nail tech. I'm not going anywhere else.

    First time going. The staff is amazing they're really nice and kind. Tom did my pedicure and he was…read moreamazing I didn't get any aches. I'm differently going back.

I highly recommend Zu to anyone looking for professional, high-quality foot and nail care. I will definitely be back!

I headed over to Instagram to check out her work and was ready to book my June appointments. -quick back story, I have been a "picker" my whole life , my mom thought I bit my nails but I would just pick the side and rip them off (eek). As I got older I would get acrylics to prevent me from picking them. Well a couple of years ago I had the worst acrylic experience of my life and my nail beds were ruined! It took a couple of years to get them back to "normal" (still a picker!) so the beginning of this year I decided I wanted to finally try and get my natural nails to grow out - found my previous girl, who was pretty far from me but well worth it, but with her distance and multiple price increases since January, it was just not in my budget as I love to be able to give a decent tip as well. So I kindly messaged her and told her how much I would miss her and went on my search and booked with Zu as I like to have my appointments ready every 3 weeks. Well Anxiety hit a week after my last appointment and I pulled off all the gel and picked my nails short (crying face). Since I already booked with Zu for summer frenchies I went back to see if I could edit my appointment but didn't find how and she was already booked for almost the whole month of June so I just left it and waited until my appt yesterday 6/9. At my appointment I was greeted kindly and since she was running a bit behind I interrupted her appt (so sorry!) and asked if I could pay with card or tap. In case I had to run to the bank (I know I should have researched this previously) she took Venmo or Zelle which I have so I sat and waited my turn. Not long after she was done and called me in. Welcomed me, offered a snack (I am a snacker but, anxiety, and I declined). Immediately Zu was very kind started getting conversation, had me choose my colors, let me discuss my short nails situation and showed her a different inspo and she said we can do that instead if I want. She put on a show, that I need to continue watching because I can't wait 3 weeks to find out what happens! Lol Anyway Long Story Short (hehe) she nailed the inspo pic on these tiny nails and I absolutely LOVE them! I cannot wait to continue my journey with her to grow out my nails again and I look forward to staying a client a very long time ! Super Bonus, she is only like 5-8 minutes away from me with amazing prices! AND she does pedicures! I no longer have to go to 2 separate salons to get a mani and pedi!! Thank you Zu! You are amazing!

Unfortunately, as the appointment continued, the quality of the service declined. Her technique became noticeably messier, and she repeatedly nipped my cuticles, which was both uncomfortable and frustrating. The biggest issue came when I asked for the flower design I originally requested. I understand that detailed flowers can be difficult to draw on nails, and I do not fault her for struggling with it. However, I do take issue with being charged for a design that I ultimately did not receive. I even told her to stop attempting the flower, but she continued trying anyway. Customers should not have to pay for a design that was never completed successfully, regardless of the products used during the attempt. That said, I will give credit where it's due. The salon itself has a very friendly and elegant atmosphere, and the staff members were welcoming and provided good customer service overall. I just wish the actual service had matched the experience and pricing.

My friend and I's price both ended up being $110 (not including a tip). Which is outrageous because she got a different design on each finger!! I got chrome/cat eye and 1 or 2 stars on 4 nails total. They kept us past closing time, which is why we did not take the time to argue. Although, even two weeks later I look at my nails every day and I think..... my nails were not worth $110. The stars are smeared and it will never be worth $110. In the past, I've never paid more than $85 at this salon for gel-x (no take off) with a simple design. I even checked online to verify design minimum and maximum price ranges. At most, I should have paid $90. My friend got an acrylic fill with a design and she also feels like she over paid with how inconsistent the line work is and.. IT WAS A FILL. I've recommended lots of friends here in the past, but it seems like they are kind to you so they can secretly increase the price. My friends that ended up going here, shared with me they will not go back because the pricing isn't fair. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're comfortable paying $110 minimum for anything nail related. What would have been better is communicating and itemizing why a design is at a certain price point. From what I see online pricing, I should have paid: $65 new gel-x (no take off) + $15 cat-eye + $10 1-2 stars on 4 fingers = $90 Where did the extra $20 come from??? I get this economy is different now, but I tipped $15 too. If I'm paying $125 for nails, the design should have reflected that. AND JUST TO CLARIFY THE MANAGER'S RESPONSE: NO ONE PAID $99!!!!!!! This response is a representation of their lack of accountability. This was my experience and Yelp allows you voice out about that.
