List Best 20 Nail Salons in Santa Monica, CA (Part 3)

Amanda Paiva Everyone at Blossom Nails is amazing! They are so kind and attentive and their service is top tier. The environment is clean and pretty. Ive been coming for almost three years and refuse to go anywhere else. My toes and fingers always look amazing when I leave, and I get tons of compliments! They just remodeled their pedicure area and Im obsessed. Love this place!

Lu Z Loved this experience. First time getting Gel X nails, and the owner is incredibly patient with my indecisiveness. The place is very comfy and the technicians are great. They have this cute little rescue dog named Lucky who barks to greet customers as they come in. I was a little taken aback at first but he’s a really good boy. Definitely will come again to support the small local business.

Michelle T Really great service! Pedicure was very fairly priced and the technician did a wonderful job. $2 fee for credit card use so bring cash if you want to avoid.

Stefanie Kadolph My daughter had her gel X nails completed here. Looked great. Held up well for 4 weeks. Just went back to remove the nails. Also excellent service. Definitely would return. Good reasonable prices. Thanks.

Hope S Update almost three weeks later and still look so good! Overall positive experience. Will update later. Place seemed pretty clean and service was fast. Small cut happened during the process but at least they were very keen about cleaning the wound and making sure I was ok. I changed colors mid way and they were very nice about it. I got a gel manicure with extensions for $55. Also I liked being able to wash my own hands and the clean towels. Whole thing took over an hour and a half which I didn’t mind. My technician was really careful about shaping my nails which was nice. Place was also full of regulars so I think that’s a good sign. David seems like a nice family man. FYI you can pay and tip with Venmo no need to use an atm. I will say that my nails turned out really pretty.

Alina King Gel Mani with Chrome- Huey Perfect gel pedi with the amazing Helen! This place is the best!! I Ive tried other spots and Im always disappointed. I can alway count on the fabulous crew here. They are the best. Clean, professional and fun!

Yusuf Öztürk Poor quality work. Five nails are broken, two of them very seriously. During the manicure process - the master spoke to her colleagues in her native language - saying bad things about me.

Jamie Latta Im obsessed with the Dazzle Dry manicure. This polish dries in 5 minutes and usually last about 10 days without damaging my nails like gels. Jazzmyne did a great job. Worth the little bit extra bc it lasts.

Magdalena Munao I’ve been coming to this salon for 5+ years and couldn’t recommend it enough! They are always so professional and accommodating. I get dip powder manicures and gel pedicures. They’re perfect every time and last me 3 weeks with no chips. Highly recommend Amiee, Cindy and all of her staff.

Melanie Maroon I made an appointment for 5pm which they booked happily. Showed up on time and no waited for 45 min in which i at least ten time told them i needed to be gone by 6:20. They reassured me everytime that they would make it. Well my pedicure was done but that’s how my hand were when i had to leave. And with the surprise of making me pay $86 for a gel pedicure and manicure not done. What a service!!! STAY AWAY! THere is way better place around to waste your money and time on people who do not care.

Meredith Chau I got a gel mani here a few months ago and it didn’t even last a week. I went to a different place in San Diego and my nails haven’t chipped after 3 weeks. I wanted to like this place because it’s really close by to me but I’ve never had a gel mani peel off in less than three weeks, while theirs peeled off in a week :( the technicians were really sweet though.

Jac Medeiros Jack gave me the best callus removal I’ve had. He also did an acupressure-based massage on me and it felt great! Very impressed and will be coming back

Mrs. Harris Update: I am changing my 5 star to 3 star because of my last experience. Mona is no longer there. The person who did my lashes did a nice job but the lashes did not stay on longer than a week. I am a good client and always leave a generous tip. When I went back I had to pay again and was basically quoted the rules regarding the cost of service based on the week or weeks between service. I am huge on customer service and accountability. It is very unfortunate that the Cha Spa did not take any responsibility. I will not return. Had my lashes done here for the third time now by Mona. She is amazing! She uses quality products and the lashes stay on for almost a month. I love how detailed she is before starting the service. I have had some bad experiences in other places. Mona is definitely the best I have experienced yet. Don’t hesitate to try her and make sure she knows I sent you! #lovemylashes

Emma Loftus Someone recommended Sandy here to do gel extensions, and she genuinely might be the best nail tech I’ve ever had. The shape is perfect, my cuticles have stayed super clean and healthy, and the nails look thin and natural

Pamela Cohen I recently went to Nail Spa Lane to have a mani and pedi. I love Dazzle Dry polish because it lasts much longer. I almost always do the callus remover and would do it every time if it weren’t extra. The neck and foot massage is always a bonus and leaves you feeling relaxed. I definitely recommend Nail Spa Lane!

D Cooper Sometimes you have to wait a bit here and there is no complimentary drinks or even music the day I went. However, the chairs are comfortable, service friendly, prices amazing and most importantly I had a pedicure that is still shiny and brand new looking after a week. Thanks iSpa Lane!

Sage I came here expecting a relaxing nail appointment. Instead, I got a masterclass in rudeness, dishonesty, and how to completely ruin a customer’s experience. Jessica operates like she’s being forced at gunpoint to do nails—zero enthusiasm, zero respect, and 100% attitude. You can literally feel her contempt as she rushes through your service like she’s competing in the Nail Olympics (spoiler alert: she loses). But here’s where she really shines: mystery pricing. What starts as one price magically inflates by the end—no explanation, just vibes. When I politely questioned it, she gave me a look so disgusted you’d think I asked her to donate a kidney. Oh, and if you dare to ask her to fix something? Be prepared for a world-class eye roll and a sigh so deep it might alter weather patterns. Jessica, if you hate doing nails so much, just say that. Or better yet—find another job where customer service isn’t required. Final advice? If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid this place like a contagious disease. There are plenty of salons nearby that actually know how to treat people like human beings.

Rahul Vohra I am a dentist and got the manicure done for myself. Very nice lady with soft and gentle touch did my work. Would definitely recommend to all men to come and get their nails manicure done here.

daeraeceo Impromptu surprise for my wife, while in the area celebrating our anniversary! They took GREAT care of her, and laid these AMAZING cat eyes on her nails! When back in the area, we will definitely come back!
