    French tip!

    Veronika did such a great job! I was so excited for this appointment because I can tell from the reviews that their attention to detail and care for their clients is very important! The entire time she paid close attention to my cuticle care my shaping and the polish choice. I love the results and I normally do not get French tip, but this time around I wanted to try a subtle light version and she came through! This was also my first time getting a structured manicure or most people know them as Russian manicure and wow, never going back!

    Both my mom and I have been coming to Veronika and Ivanka for our nails and it's safe to say we won't be going anywhere else anytime soon! I was and probably still am a habitual nail biter BUT with that being said the quality of work they do is so good that my nails last 4+ weeks without fail and let me just say I am far from gentle with my nails. In my moms case her nails were incredibly damaged from years of poorly applied acrylics at in and out fast nail salons that when she finally decided to take a break her nails were so brittle she had to go back to the acrylics. The structured gel manicure service was a god send for my mom and her nails are now natural and healthier than ever before. The attention to detail is clear and evident in the quality Veronika and Ivanka provide their clients. So lucky to have found Veronika and Ivanka! Also their new shop is really sleek, nice, and clean! If you're hesitant to switch it up, don't be this is one decision you won't regret! Both Veronika and Ivanka are kind and welcoming!

    Veronika is amazing. Each time she is detail oriented but also time efficient. Longest lasting Russian gel manicure I've had. I went back yesterday after 5 and a half weeks and my nails were still going strong! She is also so polite! Happy to have found her and location is so convenient.

    I have been in Los Angelese for 10 years and have found Waka Waka nails to be the best in the city. I would travel any distance to come here and have finally found the best quality nail service. They pay attention to detail and care about your happiness and are so nice to talk to. I really enjoy my time here and will continue to recommend it as the best!

    First time coming to the nail salon. Veronika took her time with my nails both mani and pedi. My nail came out super cute.

    Perfect French Mani

    Let me start by saying my nails are all natural thanks to Ivanka! I have been seeing Ivanka for a long time now, as she is the ONLY person I trust with my nails. I have tried all the top Russian manicure salons in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, etc and nothing compares to her attention to detail. I had to go to someone else at another salon while Ivanka was transitioning into her new location and my nails started breaking on the sides . I will forever follow Ivanka wherever she goes because NO ONE does a Russian manicure like her!

    I've been seeing Ivanka for about a year and her manicures are so good! They last so long and my nails are stronger than when I started. She's so nice and her studio is always super clean. Highly recommend!

    At one point, I had decided that I was going to cut going to the nail salon from my budget, but then I met Ivanka.

    I got lucky discovering M Nails Studio and finding Martin. My first visit was toward the end of…read morelast year, and I took a chance based on their already stellar reviews -- I'm really glad I did. Martin does my nails, and he's always kind, professional, and somehow manages to bring my random little nail ideas to life. One thing I really appreciate is how open he is to feedback. You never know how a nail tech will take it when you want to tweak something, but Martin always listens and makes adjustments without making it uncomfortable. That's huge for me because it makes the whole experience feel easy and respectful. The whole team is attentive too. They've offered me water every visit, and sometimes even snacks while I'm there. It's those small touches that make the place feel welcoming. The spa chairs are a hit btw, and I also love the mini hand/foot massage at the end. It's such a nice extra. Yen does my pedicures, and she's wonderful too. She's thorough, gentle, and consistently does a great job. I know gel nails with designs can get expensive fast, but M Nails Studio has been really fair with pricing, especially for the quality and detail. It was about time I left a review since every visit has been GREAT. Including a photo of my nails from my most recent visit with Martin.

    Came here yesterday and it was pretty uncomfortable…read more The vibe was off. Small selection of colors to choose from. I had my natural nails painted with gel and my nail shape is uneven on several nails. like she didn't file them or cut them to be even... I had to ask several times for things to be fixed that I've never had to ask at a nail salon (can you cut this cuticle?) Girl doing my pedicure looked 18, and basically painted my whole toe then went back and removed polish from around the nail? Which is completely obvious on my nails. Had her hair down and had strings of hair getting in polish while she's painting , and on my feet. Also the woman stood over me at checkout time and pointed to the tip, then stared what I was putting in for the tip. Extremely uncomfortable experience. Won't be back . EDIT **** All my "gel" nail polish came off in less than a week. Cheap products , bad application
