    The chemical burn on my calf.

    I have been coming here for years. Every so often something will go wrong- cut me, water too hot. But this weekend I walked out with some sort of chemical burn on my leg that happened when I was getting my toes done. They must not have cleaned their equipment very well. Anyhow, this will be the last time I go there because this really hurt.

    OPEN ON SUNDAY (as of 3/21/2021). My favorite and only nail salon in the south bay. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. Nails are beautifully done consistently (as I have been a customer for a long time now). Heidi, the business manager always tries her best to accommodate your schedule. They are cash only and practice all covid safety protocol. Their shop is always clean, I never see any messes anywhere. Chairs are nice to sit in too! 10/10 would recommend.

    comparing my left thumb with my right

    I had just moved in the area looking for a new nail salon and decided to give Mod Nail spa a chance. Service was amazing, they were very gentle and kind. Unfortunately, I didn't like the results of pedicure or acrylic set. None of the nails look the same, some are smaller/ skinner than others. My right hand looks nothing like left, leaving me disappointed. I still tipped them for being sweet and gentle but I would advise to take their time and make sure the nails look like the other hand.

    Large open spa to get nails toes or eyebrows done

    It was a beautiful day yesterday. I hadn't treated myself to a me day in a couple of months so once I dropped the kids off for school I decided to go see what delights I could get at MOD as it's super close to home. I got there early and there were 4 or so nail techs working. One other lady was there getting her nails done so it was very spacious. They quickly asked me what I would like to get and after arranging where I would sit I was told to pick the color I like. I originally asked them if they could do marble after seeing it on previously recent yelp reviews and was quickly told no as the "girl who does it no longer works there" okay..... so I pick a grayish ombre dip and they tell me yes they can do it. I sat down and then was told they waxing technician just arrived so I can get up and go into the waxing room first.....okay.... so I go into the room for my eyebrow wax and the woman was great. She took amazing care of my requests and I wish I could rate on this alone because (5 stars). The best part about this was the lady who did my pedicure. I got to sit on those beautiful comfy massage chair while she worked her magic (Uhhhh LIFE!!!) She was so gentle and thorough. My feet tend to be rough and she took her time removing any calluses will being considerate of my tender and ticklish heels. She was just awesome and my feet feel great. I got a basic pedicure with French tips and I love it. Here is the trouble THOUGH I got an acrylic set nothing outrageous and I wanted a grey ombre dip. I asked them prior to starting if they could do this and they confirmed yes. 2 hours later and after trying to do the ombre the technician tells me "it wont work.They grey is to light" okay.... so now I just want my nails done...." can you do chrome on the tips then?" Yes they could do that. 120$ later and I'm satisfied with everything but my NAILS. the one thing I hoped they would do was get my nails looking gorgeous and as nice as they are their not what I wanted. I might try them again for convenience but there's a good possibility i may need to find a new nail spa.

    Horrible acrylic shape
    Jennifer A.

    Originally, I had requested to get my acrylics soaked off in order to get a fresh gel mani & pedi. But unfortunately after the constant "suggestion" from the lady to just get a fill I caved. While I was choosing the color I was going for she hovered until deciding on a color (came in with an idea anyway) and then rushed to the chair. She filed my nails so hard, had to keep telling her to stop. Then the dermal shaved off skin on top of my knuckle when she was distracted by another client. Now I get accidents happen but everything just went downhill from there. My nails as you can see aren't smooth and are chipping already. I showed her and she said it was the powder? Mind you I came in with chrome nails and they sure as heck didn't look like that. She didn't even offer to fix them. I honestly want my money back. This is for a trip that I leave for tomorrow, so I don't have time to get them redone.

    Bad

    I honestly have never been more disappointed to get my nails done. The lines were very jagged they weren't completely filled in, there was streaks of polish all over my nail. She drilled my nail's so much that it became red at the very bottom towards my cuticle on a couple of my fingers. And after I asked her to fix it she said she did and let me leave like this. Won't be coming again. Super bummed. :(

    My nails were done beautifully and I love them so much. The service was great but it was slightly more expensive that I thought it was going to be. Overall amazing service.

    This nail salon is pretty big and spacious but I think it's a little expensive for the quality of the work. Not to mention it's cash only. I really wanted some pampering so I did the Margarita pedicure for $35. It came with a margarita sea salt scrub, massage, mint cooling masque, and warm towel wrap. I've been to other nail salons where they don't charge extra for things like the massage and towel wrap. I paid extra for the French tip and I had to ask the lady to redo it a couple times because it was uneven and the tips were a little too thick (TWSS!). I'll try my luck at another salon before coming back here.

    I was planning on getting a pedicure today from my regular salon, but they didn't pick up their…read morephone so I looked on Yelp and read all the positive reviews for Liz Nails. 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!

    I've always stuck to the same spot for my nails, but since moving to the South Bay, it's been more…read moreof a commitment to continue going to them. Decided it's time to find a new local spot. Cue NaiLAX - modern, spacious, clean, and inviting interior. I called in yesterday to schedule a mani/pedi for today and they fit me in right when they opened. I was offered a beverage when I walked in and quickly got me situated in a chair. Vinny did my manicure and I wish I got the name of the tech doing my pedicure, but both were really meticulous when it came to shaping and cleaning! I always fear getting cut on my toes, but not a single cut today! Walked out of there feeling like a new person. Super friendly staff and can't wait to come back. Bonus points for whoever curated the playlist because it definitely gave me mid 2000's MySpace music (think Stevie Hoang & George Nozuka) vibes. Wish I had my hands free to Shazam a few tracks.

Mind you, they already had me waiting until 215 when my appointment was at 2. She scraped off my entire nail bed and drowned my nails in acetone, so now they're super weak and painful. Never going back. EDIT based on response: It is not the customer's responsibility to notify the salon of hard gel removal because I assumed everyone at the salon is capable of doing so. If only certain techs are able to do it, then it should be the salon's responsibility to ask the customer when booking the appointment - since it's such a big issue. Been about 1 week and nails are peeling and not healing. Great.
