I know it's winter, but who doesn't love freshly polished toenails year round? My friend suggested M2 when I told her I wanted to get a pedicure and it was easy to call and make an appointment for the following day for 2 people. My friend and I arrived a couple of minutes before our 10am booking - the opening time, and the doors were already open and ready. They set us up in the massage chairs - it's a bit of tight squeeze! Nice to see they use liners in the tub and everything appeared clean. I heard them asking all the manicure customers to wash their hands upon entry too. The sweetest part of the experience was the amount of care they took to make sure we could walk out with no smudges. Both my friend and I happened to wear birkenstocks and they realized our pinkie toes may rub so they gave us the disposable slippers to wear. We made it successfully out of the shop and across the street for coffee at three fields! read more

This is a nail salon I tried for the first time after only going to places in Koreatown, and I was very impressed. The pricing was reasonable, and most importantly, the design turned out exactly how I wanted. The nail shape was also done perfectly, just as requested. My natural nails were honestly in very bad condition, but even during the drill work, I didn't feel any pain at all. Everything was done gently and professionally, which made the experience very comfortable. I was extremely satisfied with every part of the service.The designer who did my nails was Mia, and she did an amazing job. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this salon. read more

From my crusty natural nails to a beautiful new set. Ying did wonders to my nails. She was very detailed and made sure to handle my fingers with care. From past experiences, some places are rough and aggressive when it comes to filing or cutting cuticles, but not here. Service is wonderful! And each nail technicians are surely gifted. A small shop on Main Street of Alhambra but very clean and modern. Depending on design and such, I would say prices are reasonable. read more

I regret not reading the one star reviews first. Had I known, I wouldn't have spent all that time gaslighting myself when she used the drill to remove old polish and to cut the cuticle. So many things in hindsight were off but I kept telling myself to give them a chance. 1. Nothing was done to make things more comfortable. No drinking water was offered, nor was the massage function of the chair turned on. It was 85 degrees F outside today and salon was hotter than the street! If the air conditioner was on, I couldn't feel it. 2. I was instructed to wash my hands in the sink before I sat down, then after that, not once did the nail tech use water to soften cuticles or to wash off nail dust from the drilling. She used a drill to shave down the nail bed, then DRY cut my cuticles. While letting her snip off tiny bits of skin from my fingers, a voice in my head kept saying, "she must know what she's doing", "she has to pass a licensing program right?" That pampering feeling you get when they wipe your hands off with a warm, steamed towel? Non existent at M2. She offered to lotion my hands right before I paid. It seems like a basic part of getting your nails done but I could still feel the nail dust on my hands and declined. 3. I had polish on my toes and asked the nail tech if she had a close match to this color. She brought me 5 or 6 giant color trays and told me to look for the color myself. This is when I found out that M2 upcharges for nail polish. They don't nickel and dime you here, they actually want $5 and $10 bills. The colors from the Chinese styles are an extra $10 and the colors from Korean styles are $5 extra. 4. The nail tech messed up the cuticle on my middle finger and it's uneven now from the drilling. She pretended not to notice and says that my nail is crooked so the polish looks crooked. Never in my life has anyone ever said that my nail is crooked. 5. I don't mind paying more if the service or quality of the product is high. She asked if I would include a tip so I gave her $10 in addition to the $105 cost of the mani pedi (no extra designs). This is probably the most that I've ever paid for the least amount of work and satisfaction. I hate leaving bad reviews but hope that the powers that be will actually look at this as constructive criticism (if they care at all). Over and over again customers have complained about the customer service. M2 may look nice on the surface but it cuts corners on water and electricity and charges you for nail polish, which is free at other salons. I personally won't be coming back. read more

Update- I'm going to another spot now... at my last pedicure Mia asked me to change my review... I'll tell you why I originally gave them 3 stars: they have terrible customer service when it comes to being friendly or inviting and they speak loud and laugh even louder in their native language which made me so uncomfortable. I understand taking amongst coworkers but between ALL the staff they cackled and talked loud and laughed even louder! It was uncomfortable because I couldn't understand what they're saying... this happened every time I went! And I only kept going bc I liked Mia work but her asking me to change my review when she wasn't even nice friendly or appreciative of me being a client isn't worth going back read more

I have so much to say about this nail place. I'm honestly ashamed of myself for being a customer of 3+ years and not leaving a review until now. First and foremost, I have never had a negative experience at M2 Nail Lounge. Even if there was a small issue, everyone there was immediately available to help me and fix it. I have had the following nail techs: Winnie, Alice, and Andie. All of them have done a fantastic job. Each one has a gift at their own craft. I love that their lounge is clean and the color options are endless. Due to the high quality and service they provide, I only have to get my nails done once a month. All my friends and family have been referred here and have had wonderful experiences as well. read more

Came here on 1/20/2026 after seeing good reviews on Yelp but very disappointed with the limited selection for $50 manicure with gel. The lady brought out a sheet for me to select my color. There are only about 30-40 color selection there. Whatever color I pick, she would tell me this one cost $20 more, that one is $10 more. There are only 5-6 colors you can pick for $50 manicure, everything is $60 or $70. Asked if they can do pressed powder, the answer was no. After the manicure, the nails looked fine. Not sure if the technician over did the UV light or what, my fingers got extremely dry and my skin on my fingers felt damaged or slightly numb for a long time. When after a month, I had the gel polish removed and realized how damaged my nails became. It is fragile and top layer of my nails are peeling. The place looked clean but not satisfied with the limited selection of color and the after effects of the nails. read more

Mia and Alice are wonderful! I've been coming here for years and I won't go anywhere else. be sure to make an appointment ahead of time!

Im so happy I found M2 Nail Lounge!! I had been dealing with an autoimmune disorder that affected my nails and while I was cleared to resume mani/ pedis, my touch was still tender & sensitive. And really, I was HIGHLY self-conscious about it. However, I didnt need to be. Everyone was great & kind. I have been with Alice for my hard gel full set and Shelly for my pedicures for almost 2 years now. I love them. I love the results of the work they do and I especially love how well cared for I am by both of them. As an observer, I love seeing how well everyone working there takes care of each other. They are always laughing together, bringing each other little gifts, treats, coffee... I like seeing that. Alice has cultivated a beautiful community at her salon. I highly recommend M2 Nail Lounge. Everyone is fantastic & so talented! Im so happy!! I believe you will be, too! read more

If you're looking for a nail salon that values both good service and quality, M2 Nails hasn't met that standard in my experience. There was a time when I had a genuine emergency -- my mom was rushed to the hospital -- and I had to miss my appointment. Instead of showing understanding, they insisted on a $30 deposit, and when I called back, they suddenly increased it to $50. It felt incredibly insensitive, especially given the circumstances. One of the women who works there also speaks to customers in a way that comes across as rude and dismissive. I even witnessed her tell another woman she needed to go somewhere else to get her nails done -- essentially telling her she wasn't welcome. The customer looked devastated, even cried, and tried to plead her case. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional to watch. I've decided I won't be returning after these experiences. I truly hope this review helps others make an informed choice and encourages the business to reflect on how customers are treated. read more
