Mani pedi
Lindsay K.

I had such a great experience at Elegant Nails in Santa Monica. The staff was so kind and welcoming, and they even gave me a complimentary massage, which was such a nice, relaxing touch. They shaped my nails perfectly, and the color came out exactly how I wanted. I left feeling totally pampered and really happy with the results. Highly recommend.

The best gel manicures on the west side! Ask for Danny Very accommodating and kind. You will even get a neck massage!

Spa Manicure

Elegant Nails were very kind and gave great service with beautiful nails, I will absolutely come again. They were very patient with me and the nail salon was peaceful. Danny perfected my nails in a timely manner. They were very funny and gave great and positive kind vibes. I got the almond French tip with chrome :)

Very glad to be here and make my nails shine and beautiful. Very good service and friendly staff

Daniel is the best best best!!!!!! Consistent, long lasting, and such nice people. Walked in when I first moved here and have not gone anywhere else. Love it

French tips with polka dots by Elegant Nails

Obsessed as usual. I always get a massage during too, it really relaxes me while I take off the gel.

Ombré nails so cute

I was really nervous going to a new spot because sometimes technicians skimp on quality but that was not the case here with her. She made my entire day and my French pedicure looks very high end quality. The front desk receptionist Sacha brought us champagne and she was very friendly as well! Super happy! The vibe exceeded expectations

This was one of the worst experiences I've had at a nail salon…read more My manicure started peeling after just a few days, and one nail broke. I came back to have it fixed, and they actually charged me for the repair, even though the manicure had barely lasted. I don't blame the technicians--they did a good job. The problem seems to be the old or poor-quality nail polish that doesn't last. The receptionist, Sasha, also ignored the technician I booked online and assigned me to someone else without any explanation. This has happened more than once. Her customer service is rude, and appointments don't seem to matter. On top of that, they charged me an extra $2 for using a credit card without telling me beforehand, and they don't even accept Apple Pay. It's not about the $2--it's about being transparent with customers. Between the poor-quality polish, charging for repairs after only a few days, the unprofessional front desk, and the hidden credit card fee, I won't be coming back or recommending this salon

This is the best nail salon I've ever been to. I get dip because it's organic, doesn't harm my skin…read morew/ the UV light, and is the only thing that's ever made my nails grow long while lasting 3-5 weeks. Here's the thing, everywhere else I've ever been the technicians have lied to me and used gel on top of the dip or just not known how to do dip well. Every single person who's ever done my nails here has been a true master at the craft. Everyone is also very kind and I've never had trouble with availability or getting an appointment. They have also never, ever hustled me. There are salons nearby that may seem a little more glamorous, but they will nickle and dime you for everything, hustle you, rush you, and do not know their craft. This place does. I've cheated on them once with a local place like that and I hugely regretted it. If you come here, it will be your new spot. I LOVE 18K and I know you will too.

This is my favorite manicure I have ever received! Celina is amazing. I came for a gel manicure…read morewith nail art booked through Airbnb services while on a business trip. We had a tight 90 minutes before my next meeting and I showed Celina my ideal design, disclaiming that I knew we were tight on time so I could pick something else, but she was game to do it, and she did exactly that design in the time allotted! We watched traitors and we chatted, it was so relaxing, and then at the end I had my dream nail design. Thank you so much! Will definitely be back on future trips to LA!

I'm so glad I ended up at this salon and will be back every month! While chatting with Celina at the start of the appointment, I mentioned to her that my natural nails had become weak after repeatedly getting temporary nail extensions at another salon. Celina suggested that we could try a luminary hard gel overlay on my natural nails for long-lasting strength (~1 month) and nail growth without the need for gel-x/tips. No other nail technician had ever mentioned this as an option, and I am so happy with how it turned out! As someone who always had extensions, I've never seen my natural nails look so good in my life! Not only do they look great, but they also feel so strong, and I don't have to worry about them breaking. Celina is super detail-oriented and it's obvious that she cares a lot about her work and clients. On top of everything else, the polish options at this salon are beautiful. I have found that in many other salons, color options are overwhelming and laid out in a chaotic and overstimulating way. At Two Gemini Girls, polishes are grouped and organized not just by color, but also by color scheme/tone, which is such a better experience when choosing the perfect shade. 10/10!
