    You will feel like a queen coming here. They give you their time and are friendly and helpful. Not like other places trying to rush you out. I went with a friend and Bee and Brenda did such a great job on our nails for an awesome price. Worth every penny!

    Gel nails.

    I almost didn't want to post this because the service was so great it feels like a hidden gem, but Brenda was too good not to! Absolutely over the moon with the quality, the thoughtfulness of the design, and certainly the affordability. Not perfection - a couple of the lines of dots went slightly crooked but beautifully, beautifully finished! 100% just found my new spot.

    Best nail shop hands down. Been here 3 times in the past month and a half and I'm loving it so far. I've had gel done before and wasn't a big fan because within 2 days they cracked and came apart. I didn't believe gel would stay on my nails until I tried this place! Hanna and Kim are the best. You can't go wrong with any other person because they are all good at what they do. Hanna is great with designs. I've only had my nails done by her once. she pays attention to detail and you can tell she's a perfectionist. Kim has done my manicure and pedicure I HIGHLY recommend her. The shop is a little hard to find at first and there is limited parking at the back. It is best to go in the morning to avoid finding parking and waiting to get your nails done. They make my nails look reeeeeal good. I love them!!

    3 weeks later and looking amazing!

    Let me start by saying I am the pickiest person ever and impossible to satisfy when it comes to nails. That being said, this is one of the best nail salon's I have ever been to. Brenda was kind enough to let me make an appointment after hours. I also didn't realize you can't tip with card (so I didn't have cash on me) but she allowed me to tip with my card anyways. So the customer service was amazing. I have had my gel nails for 3 weeks and they still look incredible. No chipping, no hair getting stuck under my nails, didn't go outside of my nails. It was such a good and clean job. You can tell Brenda took her time. This is def my new fav spot.

    Ombré full set

    FOUND MY NEW SALON I never write reviews but this place deserves one! Called in the morning to book a same-day appointment. Brought a picture and received the exact nails I wanted. Took 1 hour. Brenda was very meticulous and made sure I liked my nails throughout the whole process. Payed 50$ Definitely my new go-to salon!

    I was very happy with my pedicure. I have no complaints about the service provided. It is misleading that there are pictures on yelp of toes with pictures on them. I asked for a palm tree drawn on my big toe like I saw on one of the pics on yelp and the women working there were not able to draw it. It doesn't change the fact that I'm happy with the service provided but they shouldn't have those pictures on there if they are not able to do them. I will return and would recommend for a nice pedicure at very reasonable price.

    Red polish is still on my nails.

    Based off the stellar reviews by my fellow Yelpers, I ventured into this little salon. All I needed was a polish change... I thought that would be easy enough. I mean, after all it IS a nail salon... Perhaps I was expecting too much. They did have a decent selection of polishes. Sadly, that was the highlight of my experience. I entered into an empty salon. I stood there momentarily and waited for the only other young lady (employee) in the salon to acknowledge me. She seemed aloof yet extremely curt once informed all I needed was a polish change. Nothing fancy. Don't try to sell me any add-ons. I JUST want my polish changed. Another young lady appears and stands beside the booth. I'm no manicure virgin. I know she wants me to sit there but it would be nice if she said "Please have a seat. You may sit here. Choose wherever you'd like to sit. Sit your @$$ down..." Something... ANYTHING... That would be a no... She began to remove my red polish... There's residue EVERYWHERE. On my fingers, under my nails, still on my nails... I'm thinking okay, maybe she's going to circle back and clean them up... ummmm no... she proceeds to slap on the base coat before I can even get, "could you please remove all of the polish." Base coat done... first coat done... "Would you like two coats of polish?"... (DUMFOUNDED STARE..) DUH!!! Second coat done... no top coat. I had to ask if they charged by the coat and extra for a top coat... At this point I'm annoyed and ready to go. If only I had 600 pennies on my purse. I would have given them 599! Service - F Polish Selection - B I won't be patronizing this business again.

    Hannas work. Ombré French.

    I came here to get my wedding nails done based on the reviews from yelp! I had called and made an appointment with Hanna because everyone was raving about her work! First, THE MAP LOCATION ON YELP IS INCORRECT! its further north on Aviation towards Manhattan beach Blvd. On the west side of the street. I got lost based on Yelp's map! When I arrived, I was told that my appt was not booked with Hanna!!! :( Whhat?! These are my wedding nails we are talking about!! The ladies there promised me that another lady would do just as good of a job.... Long story short, actual mani/pedi was good but the artwork this other lady did was not!! Luckily, Hanna was able to come over and do the artwork for this lady. Otherwise I would have been bridezilla about it!! So long story short, they did a good job, and Hanna was awesome, but their communication was not! Hanna also waxed my eye brows. She did a good job! I would probably come back, but will make SURE I get to Hanna!

    Day 2 chip

    And the search for a salon continues. I thought I'd try this place, because it's near my house. I went in for a builder gel fill. Upon arrival i wasn't greeted, i just took a seat. The girl right after me was greeted and asked what service she wanted. After waiting about 10 minutes someone asked me what i needed and to pick a color. I told the tech that I use a combination of the light pink in the clear gel. I believe she was hesitant, because she kept trying to force the hot pink gel on me. I informed her that I use a combination so that the base would look natural. She proceeded to pile on tons of pink gel, trying to convince me that it looked good. I'm sure she could see the disgust on my face. Thick pink gel and horrible filing....Why do i have to say they aren't the same shape, these are lop sided, can i get these thin out like the others? Some nails are pinker than others....Then the speaking in a foreign language. Day 2 the gel has chipped off. Im beyond pissed. They are the worse. Maybe they are good at regular services like acrylic or gel polish but gel builder is a no go and a waste of my money. Long story short. I won't be returning

    I loveee my toes! Thanks Hanna! :)

    I typically don't go out to salons to get my nails done cause they are so overpriced sometimes, but I thought it would be nice to get pampered once in awhile! I decided to do some research for a good reasonably priced salon. Since Chic Studios was receiving such positive comments here, I gave them a call to ask how much a mani pedi would be-$25! In a beach city?! The price was just up my alley so I decided to go ahead and give this place a try. Walking into the salon, I was very content with finding how clean and professional the salon looked. The workers were very friendly and attentive to my nails/toenail needs. Let me tell you...my nails are not in the best condition since I fail to care for them very well but the manicurist did such a wonderful job nevertheless. She even offered to do a free flower design since they having some promotion going on. Overall, I am very pleased with my mani-pedi especially with the price I paid. They also do eyebrow threading, waxing, facials, etc so I am definitely coming back to try those services as well! Highly recommend!

    Standard manicure(no gel, no acrylics) Bubbles on every single nail...
    Yolanda S.

    Not impressed... Why is it so difficult to find a legit nail salon in the South Bay?! I yelped Chic Studio to see if I could schedule a mani and pedi right after work. I called a couple hours ahead and they were really nice and said they would be free... Perfect!..until I walked in. I've been to every type of nail salon.. Hole in the walls, chain nail salons, spa nail salons and nail salons in multiple countries and states... I probably should work for the state cosmetology board.. But I digress... If you don't know what autoclave is and your nail hygiene is important, google it. Needless to say, Chic Studio clearly doesn't have one. I'm pretty sure they took the tools they used on me to the next station when someone came in after they were done with me...gross. Their color selection is pathetic.. so many of the bottles on display were clearly old and really shouldn't be a choice. Thankfully, I brought my own. They used a super poor quality base and top coat, which has left bubbles on every single one of my mani nails... I'm not sure if that's because of the poor quality or poor application. The few pros.. They have private parking behind the building and they take credit cards. Yup, those are the only pros.. Don't go here if you want a clean, legit mani. Go somewhere else.. Feel free to ask me where I usually go for awesome nails, awesome nail art, awesome designs and color selections, etc!

    First time here but pass by often…read more. Since my usual spots were booked and I can't wait until tomorrow late afternoon, decided to try this place out. I always need my nails done during the time I walk in at anytime without any appointments.. and they take me because I'm that important ha and that's just me to fit in my very tight schedule. They're so nice here! Had a good time chatting with them.. befriending them ha Love the perfect pretty pastel pink walls that suits the name here. This will be my new go to nail place yay :) I got narrow coffin shape medium long and like a pearly (cat's eye) teal green wide french tips with big blings on my pinkies and ring fingers. Of course LOVELY ha I was their last client for the day and noticed how really greatly clean they are here.. with cleaning every feet areas of the chairs etc before they close shop. I don't really see that with other shops lol But here they don't miss a beat with the clean. They even mop their floors like they do in dining area restaurants wow. So good! Highly recommend everyone to come here Will totally be back!

    I genuinely hope this review reaches people before they waste their money here: DO NOT COME HERE…read more I've only ever gotten pedicures here, and even those are nothing to rave about. The only reason I occasionally come back is because it's close to my house and convenient when I need something last-minute. Today, however, I decided to give them a chance with builder gel, and I deeply regret it. The video speaks for itself because I honestly don't know how this was considered acceptable work. I got black builder gel nails. Black is about as straightforward as it gets, yet somehow my nails were left crooked, slanted, uneven, poorly filled, and incompletely polished. Some nails looked like they were missing product toward the base, and the shaping was so inconsistent that my hands looked like they belonged to two different people. And before anyone says, "Why didn't you say something?" -- I DID. Multiple times. I repeatedly asked for the obvious issues to be fixed, and I could clearly tell they were becoming irritated with me for asking. I'm sorry, but if I'm paying $110, I'm going to expect $110 worth of work. Asking for my nails to actually be straight, filled properly, and fully polished is not being difficult. That is literally the service I paid for. The gentleman doing my nails was polite, and I'll give him credit for that. Unfortunately, being nice doesn't compensate for extremely poor workmanship. What bothers me most is that this wasn't some tiny imperfection that I was nitpicking. These were visibly crooked nails that were unfinished. I shouldn't have to explain to a professional that every nail needs to be properly shaped and completely covered in polish. Honestly, they should be embarrassed to charge $110 for this quality of work. They're lucky I paid, because after seeing the final result, I absolutely would have understood anyone refusing to pay for this. Needless to say, I will never spend another dollar here. There are far too many nail salons that actually care about the quality of their work to settle for this

What attracted me to this salon was the fact that it was a one-person business. I'm always reluctant to try a new place because satisfaction is subjective based on who is providing the service. Liz shares space with a cute kid's hair salon in a residential area of Redondo Beach. I've lived here for years and never passed by, even though it's so close I could walk over. I decided to have Liz clean up my brows, and she did a great job. I also had a spa pedicure and am pleased with her work. I didn't feel rushed at all and as other reviewers said, she's very meticulous. I'm glad I found Liz on Yelp and am happy to add another 5-Star review for her services. I'll be back!

    I've known Liz for many years, back when she was at Nancy Nails in Hermosa. I always liked Liz, but…read morebecause I'd been one of Nancy's customers, didn't want to upset the apple cart. After Nancy lost my business for good a few years ago, I went elsewhere, but when that salon was taken over and went downhill, I pinged my friend (who was still with Liz) to find out about her new salon. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy with kids getting haircuts, but I was still able to chill out in the awesome spa chair. Liz did an amazing job as always--she is very focused on quality and it really shows. Keep in mind I live in Playa, so there are plenty of places closer that I could go. But Liz does a great job, genuinely cares for her customers and knows how to run a business. I am so happy I was able to go back to a familiar face and get an awesome mani/pedi. Liz is the best... go see her, you won't be disappointed!
