Lauras Nail Salon - Santa Monica (CA)

Anastasia Shirokova I’ve been a loyal client of this nail salon for about a year now, and I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I’ve had each time. Irina, in particular, is a true top master—she absolutely deserves that title. Every appointment with her is above and beyond, and her attention to detail and artistry are unmatched. All the other technicians are also amazing, each bringing absolute expertise and care to their work. While Irina was my first love here and remains my go-to, the entire team is talented and creates such a welcoming environment. Not only is the nail service exceptional, but the studio offers a range of other beauty treatments that make it a one-stop-shop for self-care. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, and the team here goes out of their way to make every visit feel special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch beauty services!

Brigitte Belov Every time I come here my experience is 10/10. I have been to all the best rated nail salons in the Santa Monica area (including the Russian ones) and Montana Nails is the best by far. Everything is new, clean, and super aesthetic. And all the staff are super friendly and accommodating every time. Linda always does my gel builder manicure and she is truly the best! I am very particular about what I like - I require it to be very natural with a stiletto shape. She’s always consistent and really pays attention to detail to make sure I get exactly what I want. Joe did my gel pedicure and he was also amazing! He really took his time when cleaning out my ingrown nails and it turned out to be the best pedicure I’ve ever had. Getting my nails done used to be a stressful experience whenever I went anywhere else, but I know that when I come to Montana Nails I can really relax and enjoy myself ☺️

Jasmina Corovic One of the best and most detailed manicures I’ve ever had! Cozy interiors, pleasant atmosphere, and excellent service. Anastasia was meticulous (look at those cuticles and the polish application!), they have a great selection of colors (over 200!), and they even serve bubbly and russian chocolates to make your experience extraordinary. Reasonable prices too! They also offer hard base gel manicure, which I don’t see often in salons in LA.

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.

Melanie Nepomnyaschy The best nails I have gotten in LA. I can’t say enough good things- I came for the first time for birthday nails and they are hands down the best nails I’ve ever gotten. Not only do they ask you at every step: shaping, base coat, color and design if you like it but they are incredibly with designs they did it free hand and they were so meticulous. Will only be coming here for nails from now on. Truly great- I had Henry for nails and Nick for toes and will telling all my friends to come here

Kim Young Celina is so sweet. Love that she speaks English and the salon is quiet, Beautiful, and clean. Best pedicure I ever got. And my nails look great

Gwen Phillips I have been to many nail salons for nail care and this is the nail salon I feel very satisfied with. I always like the way the staff here takes care of my nails, very gentle and delicate. I always feel comfortable during the manicure process.

Liz AM I have been coming to BE & J since their last location and I can say it’s a place that will leave you with beautiful nails in a short amount of time. The women are kind and skillful. Jessica is the best at her art and very attentive. Expect them to be busy! I appreciate their hard work and happy this place is around.

Brenna Johnston-Kosher Had zero expectations, walked in after going to the post office, but it was low-key the best manicure I’ve ever had. It’s been two and a half weeks and the gels are still hanging on and looking great. Also they were just the nicest people. Will definitely go back.

Natalie India Balmain These guys are super lovely! They saw me straight away as a walk-in, took all the old builder gel off my nails and started afresh with new tips. They were super quick, had a beautiful range of colours and my nails look stunning!! Definitely worth a visit!
