I found my new place. I used to go to Nail Garden and Mod Nails. This place is close to me. It is easy. It is reasonable with the basic mani and pedi at $55. Service was quick, efferent and worth it. Will definitely return soon. read more

I came to this business for the first time. When I walked in no one acknowledged me. No welcome, hi or anything it was awkward. Finally a gal asks if she can help me. I say I want a fill and I pick a color. Then I mention her application was a little thick and I got a smart remark in a harsh tone of she's not done yet. She got smart a few times and I had ro remind her I'm a customer and to be nice! So long story short, her negativity caused me to minus the tip she so aggressively sought when it came time to pay. Do the math: nasty attitude and rudeness = 0 tip + a bad review. read more

Personally i was very upset when i got my acrylic nails done here. However, when they do regular nails, they come out good. They also tend to be good at pedicures, but it depends on the nail tech for sure. As for public restrooms, they do tend to be on the stingier side, but to be fair it is a very small salon. There is maybe five or six pedicure chairs in the salon. It's a much closer or more intimate experience, so definitely be aware of that before going. Overall, they have very nice colors to choose from. The color selection is probably the best at this salon, as they have a lot of different and unique colors. I definitely think this salon has a chance to thrive much more, they could definitely expand their salon. Maybe as a franchise, sometime in the future. read more

Been going here for probably a decade now and even drive a little further since I moved. They're the sweetest and best! I've converted a ton of friends to come here too and they all love it too. My current favorite service that I've probably been doing for the past. Few years is the hard builder gel with gel color or design on top. My nails easily last 3 weeks with that. read more

MB Nails & Spa - 3 weeks in! I love them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Everything is always so sweet here. Sunny really cares about her customers and Tina is my favorite manicurist! No complaints in my end... just the parking sucks read more

It pains me to leave this review. Tina, who has done my finger nails for a little while and is great, and I highly recommend her. This review is for my pedicures only. This is the second time I have developed a nasty toe nail infection from a pedicure at MB Nails. The first time was 12 weeks ago and the nail tech dug in so hard to the side of my big toe nail that she created an infection that turned into an ingrown toe nail. I waited the infection out, talked to Tina about it when she asked multiple times during later appts why I wasn't getting pedicures anymore. 2 weeks ago the infection was much better and 99% healed so I decided to get a pedicure again, but made sure to notify Tina AND the nail tech to NOT TOUCH THAT toe! 2 other nail techs heard the discussion so at this point, the whole salon was clear to not touch that toe and only work around it. 10 minutes in to the nail appointment, and the nail technician poked so hard inside of the nail corner rein-flaming the infection . "I forgot" she told me!!!! Well, this little oversight on the nail techs part is now a massive infection, requiring antibiotics, surgery, 2 visits to both my regular doctor and a podiatrist, 3X day wound care and painkillers! The skin all-around the area has peeled off from the heat of the infection and it is extremely painful. I am having trouble walking and doing normal day to day tasks at home & work, I am in so much pain! These are the only 2 times I've ever had infections on my toes ever. I love Tina and she does a great job on my finger nails. I write this review because the other techs that work there are careless. 2 times infection is inexcusable. It has affected both my quality of life and my job. Finding a great nail salon in the South Bay is nearly impossible, and I hope MB Nails can turn their staff around so this problem doesn't happen again to any of their clientele. read more

I've been coming here for about 5 years, and they have always taken such wonderful care of me. My dip manicures consistently turn out beautiful, and their pedicures are just as amazing. The quality and service are always top-notch, and I truly can't recommend them enough. read more

I had my nails done here a few weeks ago. It was super affordable, but it was really busy and they rushed through my service. My dip manicure came out pretty lopsided, and the tips started lifting after about a week. Once things started getting caught underneath, it got pretty gross. The price is great, and I definitely feel like I got what I paid for. They did stay on for a while, but because they lifted, they looked and felt rough. read more

This nail salon is FANTASTIC! I live in the neighborhood and truly look forward to coming here every month. Suzy is the only one I trust with my nails and shaping but everyone is so attentive and talented. They keep the store extremely clean and always have the best music going. Would absolutely reccomend this salon to any local or anyone visiting the area in need of a little quality pampering. read more

Service was kinda meh price was great so yeah the outcome was good so if you can sacrifice value over customer service sure go ahead and patronize this place but if you want more pleasant experience, I'd probably go someplace else read more

Excellent nail salon, super nice staff. Started with dip and then changed to gel. Suzy is fantastic, really listens to what you want and remembers your preferences. Highly recommend her. read more

Sunny is my girl. She's the only person I trust to touch my nails. I've been seeing her for 2+ years and have left happy/satisfied every single time. The salon gets really busy on weekends especially, so highly recommend scheduling an appointment! Walk-ins aren't always available! read more

I've been a customer here for quite some time but after my recent experiences, I'll never return. Over my last three gel pedicures, I noticed the price fluctuated by about $10 each time for the same service. When I politely asked Sunny if the prices had changed, she became visibly upset and defensive, saying they hadn't. The worst part of my visit was the toe infection I got from a pedicure Sunny did. During the appointment, she cut my cuticle too aggressively, even after I told her she was hurting me and asked her to stop. I left the salon in pain and noticeably overcharged. By the next day, my toe was swollen, throbbing, and oozing. I ended up needing antibiotics and pain medication, and I couldn't walk on that foot for a while. The strain on my other leg from compensating led to sciatic nerve pain, which also required treatment. Throughout this ordeal, I kept Sunny informed sharing pictures and calling her with updates. She apologized and promised me a free pedicure once I recovered. But when I called to schedule it, she not only refused to honor her word, she hung up on me. To make matters worse, after I bled during the service. I saw her use the same tools without sanitizing them on the next client. read more

Great job for Cat Eye, which is hard to do. They also listen to the customer on shape and length.

The people that work there are super sweet but paying for a nail gel X set for $90 just to last only a few days is crazy. Went back to get them removed and they charge $25 for nail removal??? I know inflation and all but this is outrageous... read more

I've been here for years, but this was my last visit. I usually do walk-in service and I should have chosen a person when they did my French tip pedicure correctly. The technician started cutting my nails before asking me what shape I wanted. Then when I showed her the style I wanted and she told me that my nails were the wrong shape . She didn't put lotion on my feet and asked me multiple times which color I wanted and asked if I wanted gel when I made clear my preferences. I wanted to walk out and just pay for the soak and scrub and go elsewhere for the French tip, but I didn't. Lesson learned. read more

Awful. go elsewhere. they charged $30 to remove my polish, gel nails . also, the lady who did my nails did awful, they are crooked and stubby. they aren't even the same length. absolutely disgusting. i'm so upset and they charged 80 for everything. my nails are SOOO ugly. i'll never go back... go around the corner to another place. these nails are horrid. read more

MB Nails & Spa - crooked nail. stubby awfulness - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

**DON'T GO HERE- ZERO STARS** My gf got a full set of nails twice and they broke within a few days each time. They also tack on charges for things you didn't ask for but they take upon themselves to do. Also VERY insistent on tipping to the point it feels awkward. When asked to speak to a manager they told me there wasn't one and I asked for a number or email and I was told they didn't have one. I asked who I could speak to and the lady said herself but wasn't the manager.. It was very frustrating.. read more

MB Nails & Spa - Barbie nails per my review - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

So they are clean, open, and have a lock down on covid health plastic barriers without being trashy. That part was impressive. Otherwise, unsure if I'd ever return. My gel manicure came out okay. The polish was super thin and I had to ask for a third coat for it to be an even application. The manicurist was already doing final top coat and it looked like an uneven hot mess. There wasn't a line of people waiting for their appointments, so I don't know why there was a rush. I felt like she was just rushing to finish rather than do a quality job. Massage chair was nice and new. Water for soaking my feet for the pedicure and my fingers for the manicure was cold which was weird. And my cuticles on my hands and feet are somewhat better, but could have used more attention as you can see in the photo. Also their "massage" for your hands and feet was more just like they were petting me. Was so light it tickled! Guess I'll just have to keep looking for a nail salon. This one missed the mark. read more

This is my way of self-care! Went in looking to get pampered which I did! When I walked in I was greeted immediately by the staff, asked what I wanted and told to choose a color of my liking. I'm happy they offer OPI colors and have a variety of colors. I went in to get a gel pedicure and gel manicure (Acrylics). Love how my manicurist took her time and wasn't rough with my hands. read more

The most friendly ladies ! This is my regular spot now for nails. Great service. Relaxing and clean. Highly recommend.

MB Nails and Spa continues to exceed my expectations when it comes to excellent customer service, the professionalism and skill set of Sunny, Susie and the rest of the manicurist and pedicurist. After about a year away from MB Nails and Spa because of the global pandemic, I have recently returned to my favorite nail shop for a full set and pedicure. During my appointment yesterday, I decided that I wanted an ombré and Sunny did not disappointment. I left MB Nail and Spa with a beautiful set of ombré nails and relaxing pedicure. If you live in the South Bay Area then I highly, highly recommend that you check out MB Nails and Spa for all of your manicure and pedicure needs! read more

I found this page while searching for the powder dip manicure. My friend raved about it so I was curious. Nancy did my manicure and it looked great! The only downside with the dip that it is harder to take off than the gel manicure. The second time I was here I did a manicure (Von) and pedicure (Susie), they both were friendly and did a great job. I also requested a neck and shoulder massage and Tammy worked on all the knots I had. This is now my go-to nail salon place! read more

I love this place. It's not the most modern and up to date, but they do such a great job on your nails. And everyone there is always so nice and sweet. It's definitely a place that regular customers visit because they are consistent with the quality of their nails. read more

Wouldn't come back here again. A few things - 1. When removing your pre-existing gel they are very lazy and just hack at your nail with the automatic file. They literally burn it to the ground. They could have just let it sit for an extra minute. 2. I had to ask the lady 3 time to make the pedicure straight. My toe looked like it had a curve 3. They quoted me a different price on the phone than they charged 4. They try to upcharge you for a normal pedicure. All in all - if you're in a jam and have nowhere to go and don't mind spending a lot of money for a bad service, this is your place. read more

So disappointed Appointment Time: had a 1:30 appointment and waited 20+ minutes before be attended to. Pedicurist: I would give her 5-stars. Wish I had gotten her name but she was the best part of the experience. Manicurist: Nails looked fine but she wasn't friendly, I believe she may be a manager as she is the one that's jerked me out. Checkout: although they clearly take credit cards she asks me to pay cash. I said I do t have enough and she said "there's an ATM down the street. Huh? You'd rather inconvenience your clients then pay the credit card fees? Total should have been $75 but she charged me $78. Then an additional $2 for using a credit card. With tip I paid $98 (luxury pedicure which is $40and basic gel manicure which is $35) They also don't have a/c read more

I love their service they're so personable and sweet and do the best job on the nails. They last the longest definitely recommend going there. read more

Went their first time, the lady was very nice but my gel nails started to chip after 1 week. Not sure if it's worth it. Good prices but you have to do gel nails every week. read more

Nails Shops come a dime a dozen in L.A. however great service, skill, and quality is more rare. MB Nails is great. Service is good and I am always very satisfied with my nails. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I have never make an appointment because every nail technician that I have experienced has been very good. If you're into dip powder, there's a huge selection of colors. Seriously! If you're into the hard-gel or traditional polish, there's a large assortment of those colors as well. Prices are competitive with other local shops. Cards accepted. If tipping on card in lieu of cash, there's a $1 service charge. Appointments accepted but Walk-Ins are welcome. read more

Now this is my new favorite nail spot. They took me as a walk-in on a Saturday despite how busy they were, they make room! I needed dip removed from my nails (for a wedding) and I didn't want to do it on my own. The women that run this salon are on IT and very nice, even handling my nails and my skin, they were gentle and got the job done. I brought in my own polish and chose a color thats a little more difficult for me to put on. She polished my nails at a rapid speed and with zero mistakes, flawless. They were absolutely stunning and I was impressed. The price was great too, removing dip and a regular manicure was $25. Highly recommend Sunny and Susie! Thank you! read more

MB Nails & Spa - Fresh mani! - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Overall this was a nice experience. My gel mani was $33 including the removal of my previous gel. They were able to take me right away which was nice, even though they were pretty busy on a Sunday morning. I was given the gel colors to look through for a bit and then they took off my old gel. The technicians were nice but I ended with a different one than I started with. She did two coats of gel but there were a few nails that seemed like they could use another coat so I asked and she happily did a third coat for me. The lotion afterwards felt nice on my hands and I love the shape of my nails. They really do look nice, now I just hope they last! I didn't have any cash so note that they add an extra dollar if you tip with a credit card. Kinda strange but I guess I get it. Should've brought cash for a tip! read more

I had a great experience with my nail tech, Tran. She is amazing! Extremely professional, very gentle and attentive to your nails, goes a great nail shape and she is very good about working with you to get what you want! I can be somewhat difficult to please when it come to my nails, as I can be very picky about what I like and don't like. She was really great with me and made me feel very comfortable! This will most definitely be my new nail place from now on! read more

Too quick of a pedi, and quite a thick gel mani for an almost shocking $100 dollars! In addition to Very tight parking, so not worth risking one's car getting hit for overly priced and mediocre service. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The pricing seems to change depending on the person. Sometimes they charge for nail polish removal. Sometimes I don't get charged. Sometimes I get a discount by paying cash. Sometimes I don't. I went in to have one nail fixed and I came out looking like I had my pointer finger a complete different color than the rest of the nails! She didn't seem to care when I noted I wanted nude and white and she gave me a pink/white. She filed my nail so hard from the side it hurt. See image. And she charged $10 for this. Hit or miss. You decide if you want to risk coming here. read more

This is my nail spot- I've been coming here for 6 months. I'm obsessed with dipping. I'll go in with ideas, pictures and a whole lot of indecision. Susie is really resourceful, creative and patient. I hope she maintains her patience as I explore more complicated designs and decals. I highly recommend making appointments, dip powder, be prepared to park on the street, and stay a while. You don't want to rush your service. read more
