Get Nails

I came here on NYE because unbeknownst to me the nail shop that I usually go to was closed and…read morethis place was open and nearby. BIG mistake. I've been getting gel manicures for 20+ years and when the nail tech cuts your cuticles , sometimes, not often , there can be a small amount of blood. This particular nail tech cut too deep and my finger was bleeding profusely. Initially the tech didn't apologize and she attempted to continue to polish with WET blood dripping down my nail an all over my finger the dip the brush back in the polish. Very unsanitary. I had to literally stop the service myself multiple times. The pictures attached is after I applied pressure for 10 minutes and cleaned it a bit but as you can see it's STILL bleeding. My nails look horrible. The owner was friendly but I will never come here again.

Super bummed to have to update my review (I've posted 2 positive reviews previously). Cam & her…read morestaff have been so kind, but last time I got acrylics they weren't sealed well so after only 1.5 weeks I had to get a fill and multiple of my nails turned green due to bacteria/ fungus from water getting in between my nail and the acrylic. I figured it was a one time thing and trusted after this fill it wouldn't happen again. However, after only 1.5 weeks after that fill, more of my nailed started turning green. I went in today to have my acrylics removed and was charged $15 for the removal and this is what was underneath. It's going to take months to grow out and I'm super disappointed because I was looking forward to having a new nail place so close to me with friendly staff. Again, Cam and her staff are so nice and welcoming, but after this happening twice I won't be returning.

These additional charges were not clearly explained to me beforehand, so I was caught off guard by the final price. I also had a gel builder service done on my hands, and I was not informed beforehand that the total would be $112. If I had been given the full pricing upfront, I could have decided whether I wanted to proceed with the additional services. $230 plus tip for both girls is insane when they're basic nails! Unfortunately, I was also unhappy with the quality of my nails. I expressed my concerns afterward, and while they offered to redo them, at this point I don't feel comfortable returning. My biggest issue is the lack of transparency regarding pricing and the overall quality of the service. I would recommend confirming the total cost of every service and add-on before allowing them to begin.

B- mid: cut and shape, cuticles, callous removal, sugar scrub, hot lotion with 4 min massage, a hot towel, polish. C- highest end, all of B plus paraffin and 10 min massage. I opted for B as a pedicure only with regular polish. The callous removal was the standard pumice that most places include and they didn't use hot lotion. The list said it was $46. I also got French Tips, which are not on the list but they told me would be $10. I paid with cc and they charged me $60. I think they have a $2 processing fee and just didn't do math right on the other $2. The price list tells you that you get a complimentary drink with purchase and to tip generously (which I find tacky), but no drink was offered. They did a good job and were very friendly. They listened and corrected areas when asked, but overall didn't need a lot of direction (shape of nail, thickness and shape of French tip). The place was clean and calm. I think $60 for what I consider a basic pedicure is very high. I would definitely come back as the service was good, but will try other less costly places. Pedicure prices, regular paid A - $30, B- $46, C - $75. If I recall the manicures were about $5 less. These are all steep (C basically only includes 6 mins more of a massage and a paraffin dip for $30 more!) I think they should be closer to $25, $35, and $50 respectively.

My recent visit to Get Nails left me feeling utterly disheartened. Despite setting aside time for my scheduled appointment, I was dismayed to find my nails riddled with bubbles and cracks just days later. When I reached out to voice my concerns, I hoped for a sympathetic ear and a solution. I even offered to send photos as evidence, hoping to resolve the issue remotely. However, my attempts were met with indifference. Instead of acknowledging the problem, they insisted on an in-person visit, overlooking the challenges posed by my hectic work schedule. Their proposed remedies--a mere 50% discount on a future service and a complimentary polish--seemed like token gestures that failed to address the inconvenience and disappointment I experienced. It was disheartening that a refund wasn't even considered, given the circumstances. Furthermore, the lack of quality inspection of their artists' work is troubling. It's clear that more attention to detail and thorough training for their staff are necessary to prevent such oversights in the future. Despite my repeated attempts to convey my availability for a follow-up appointment in two weeks, their inflexibility and lack of responsiveness left me feeling unheard and disregarded. For those contemplating a visit to Get Nails, I urge caution. Their dismissive attitude toward customer concerns and apparent disregard for quality control make for an experience that falls far short of expectations. read more

Get Nails isn't just a salon--it's a little beauty cafe where artistry and heart collide. I've trusted Dee since 2008, and now Dang brings that same steady magic to my nails, while Lynn treats my feet with a luxe, "gleam and glide" vibe. The whole crew makes every visit feel like a friendly hangout in a clean, breezy space. Walk in and you're greeted with genuine smiles that feel like a warm hug. The studio is spotless, every station tidy, with a smooth flow that respects your time. Nail art updates sparkle like new comic panels--fresh, bold, and on-trend--yet they always listen to your style and skin tone, never forcing a one-size-fits-all look. Dee's artistry sets the mood: calm, precise, and thoughtfully tailored. Dang carries the vibe with confidence, delivering nails that look polished and expressive. Lynn's meticulous foot care is the cherry on top, turning a routine appointment into a little spa-adventure. And the service? Top-notch. The team remembers tiny quirks, cheers your nail milestones, and genuinely cares about how you feel leaving the chair. You depart with more than just great nails and feet--you leave with confidence, a smile, and a skip in your step. If you want professionalism, cleanliness, and heart in equal measure, Get Nails is your stop. Big thanks to the Get Nails crew for the warmth, the craft, and the joy in every visit. Here's to more snazzy nails and fun conversations! Nina read more

I think I've visited every nail shop in the Culver City/Mar Vista area. I always find one that I like and then they always end up disappointing me after a few visits. I think I finally found a nail salon that I am committed to! My mom recommended me after switching from another local nail salon she had been loyal to for years. I decided to check them out. I was very happy with my gel manicure. They did a great job at cleaning up my cuticles and were very thorough. Another plus is I go on Saturday afternoons and I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes even when they're crazy busy. They also do cute designs and have that new trending chrome polish which I've been having trouble finding locally. Their prices are affordable, but keep in mind they are cash only. There is a super market in the same shopping center where you can get cash back. Parking is easy as well, which is definitely a plus for me. read more

Although this is my dad's place, I really like the work he did on my nails for graduation. For my first time getting fake nails, it didn't hurt or seem like I thought would be.

First, the service was terrible, especially from my nail tech, Helen. I made an appointment but still had to wait 20 minutes past my time. When she finally started, it felt like she couldn't have been more disinterested. She was curt, distracted, and seemed annoyed the whole time. It was like I was bothering her rather than a valued customer. My nails were uneven, the polish was messy, and I had to ask for corrections twice, which she did with an impatient sigh. The cuticle trimming was worse--I've done better myself. For what I paid, I expected better. A simple set of acrylics should last at least a couple of weeks, but I broke a nail within 48 hours. Overall, I left frustrated and disappointed. Support small businesses, but this one needs to improve a lot before I recommend it or return. If you want quality and a bit of pampering, go somewhere else.

I also felt like the filing was rough and felt my skin burning multiple times. I understand that's the service so I didn't say anything and continued on, but I generally get a pedicure for a relaxing experience, not to feel uncomfortable. On top of that the massage is next to nothing. When I left, I saw that she had filed my toenails to the very quick in every direction possible, no shaping, no matching my toes to each other to look uniform. I was even going to forgive all of this and even thought I might go back and try again to see if a second experience would be different... fast forward a few hours and I see that she nicked me in multiple areas on my second and big toe, and my big toe is actually aching pretty bad at the cuticle. Now I just have to hope and pray it doesn't get infected... I probably will not be returning and this has made me hesitant to try a Russian manicure/pedicure in the future.

She clearly knows what she's doing and is very well trained. If you have any toenail issues, I highly recommend seeing her. It's been three weeks since my pedicure, and it still looks fresh. Definitely 5 stars for her! Just a heads up, all pedicures and manicures here are dry. They don't soak your hands or feet, so keep that in mind if you prefer a more traditional service. Honestly, my manicure experience wasn't that great. I'd give it 3 stars at most. I requested gel polish removal followed by a regular manicure. The technician seemed as if she didn't want to be there. While the cuticle cleaning was done well, the nail shaping was off. I asked for square nails with rounded corners, but ended up with very square, sharp edges that looked awkward. On top of that, the dust from the gel removal wasn't cleaned off properly. She applied polish directly over the dust, making my nails look bumpy. No cuticle oil or lotion was used either, and I left the salon with white dust still around my nails, which felt odd. Honestly, I think a basic corner nail salon could have done a better job with a regular manicure. So not sure if it was worth the price. The location is small but cute. I didn't notice any hygiene issues. There is no parking, so expect to find street or metered parking. The front desk staff is very friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely keep coming back for Lana's pedicures, they're totally worth it! But I won't be returning for regular manicures, as the quality didn't match the price.
