[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been going to Mod Nails for several years and every time I go there, I get an amazing service and everyone there is so kind and very helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] About a month ago they replaced the pedi chairs with high end ones so now the atmosphere is so bright and clean. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff are very friendly, and I had a great experience my first time there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, today I was given a massage with mani and pedi and not informed that this would cost extra. So they upsold me for my requested service without discussing with me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I told the manager and she didn't offer to refund me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't want to escalate the situation, but will not go back due to the dishonesty. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Horrible i hate my nails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I left with no polish cause I need to reshape these ugly nails they gave me!!! Also she made them all different lengths. Don't get acrylics here!!!!!! She was so unprofessional. read more

The overall vibe of the place was very relaxing, including cute Christmas decorations that made it that much better. I love the way they took the extra time to listen to what I wanted and replicated my nail design picture beautifully. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her name is Lynn and she's super sweet and very attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] By far the best massage pedicure that I have ever had and highly recommend seeking out Ivy for this service. This is an excellent place to anyone looking to treat yourself to some excellent pampering! read more

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, [[HIGHLIGHT]]this will be the last time I go there because this really hurt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Mod Nailspa - The chemical burn on my calf. - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Had a great gel manicure with Ivy, she was extremely thorough yet gentle since I have thin nails.

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. read more

Mod Nailspa - Gel Manicure (with chrome) and classic toe polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I got a classic mani and pedi for $53. They are cash only. They are practicing social distancing and following COVID protocols. Linda did my hands and Trini did my feet. They took their time and did a good job. Appointments are recommended. They close at 5pm on Saturday's (their hours are different here on Yelp), but took a walk in at 5pm. They have a wide selection of OPI nail polish and big massage chairs. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This place is horrible. They ruined my nails. My nails became so thin after 3 months di gel manicure, and three of them have broken. Besides, they do not sanitize their tools well. So be careful for fungus infection. I am not going back. read more

Do not go!!! I spent $60 for a full set. 50% of The full set lasted days!!!!!! (Less than a week) Since 15 yrs old...now 31 my acrylic history has never lasted just 3 to 5 days.. 50% by day 6 went out the window. Smh. Too many options out there to tolerate wack work. read more

This place used to be great, not sure what happened. Prices went up and service went down. It is now $25 for a pedicure which makes it the most expensive pedi in the neighborhood. I asked for straight across shape and I got rounded and some of my nails aren't even cut straight. The polish has bubbles. Every time she painted a nail she had to use her own nail to scrape polish off. Terrible. I couldn't even enjoy the service. I expect my pedi to last 2+ weeks but I don't think I'll be able to stand walking around like this for more than a week. The manager was not here today but yes, I did ask my nail tech to correct. read more

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. :( read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars! They left my nails f*cking lumpy!!!!! $60 for acrylic nails and they did just such a horrendous job, seriously, they did not cut my cuticles or anything, no attention to detail. They f*cking suck!!!!!!! I am pissed that I spent $60 for the work they did!!! Lumpy nails and didn't even touch my nail cuticle. !!!!! Save yourself - and go some place else. You'll thank me later !!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went to this nail shop ONCE and will never return. Worst mani/pedi I have received and I get them done weekly. I was new to the area when I visited this location. A three year old could've done a better job polishing my nails. The staff isn't friendly either. Take your $ elsewhere read more

Brought my daughter her for a mani/pedi for her 10th birthday, splurged on the extra leg massage for myself while she was getting her gel nails. The girls were very sweet, told her how pretty she is and made her feel special and grown up for her birthday. The cost was not bad for the extra we got and my daughters nails look beautiful and seem like they'll hold up well. read more

Mod Nailspa - Pedicure and gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Nail service was good. Massage was good (however, I might have gone for the multiple upsells IF they accepted credit cards, but they don't, so I didn't.) What should have been the red flag for me was that my nail technician kept adding more and more stuff (acetone? alcohol? who knows?) to the bottle of nail polish. Sure enough my polish (toes!) chipped within 4 hours. At the prices this place charges, they shouldn't have old polish. Never coming back. read more

Always been a go to place for the last 10 years! They have completely re done their pedicure menu and I like the new options! I did the hydration pedicure which included a scrub, callous removal, and paraffin wax for $45. Very happy with the results! read more

Let me start off by saying, I've been coming here for the last 10 years. That has to mean something. I have tried a few other spots when they were busy but I was never too impressed with the other shops. My go to for my gel manicure is Ivy. Nancy does my pedicures and she is awesome too. They never seems to fail me. I referred my sister to this place a few years back and Ivy/Nancy are her go to girls as well. The unfortunate part is we can't get our nails done together. A few other good people to go to is Triny/Vicky (my daughter goes to them) . Ivy and Nancy.... You guys are awesome!! read more

This place deserves way more 5 start ratings. The proof is in the massive amounts of customers that come in over and over again. Almost all the People there were regulars. The staff knew the customers on a personal level. For a regular Manipedi I paid $30. Gel is an additional $10. Lots of parking. Cash only! !!! read more

I wanted cute cherries but I got some uneven chili peppers on my nails!! I wish she wouldn't have attempted if she knew she couldn't do it. At least she redid it for free. Still not the best thought read more

Have gone here a few times biT wont be cooning back. The lady that did my nails cut me 3 times and led ft my nails very thick and uneven. The price was also much more expensive than two weeks before when I had the same exact thing done. read more

I am soooooo in LOVE WITH Mod Nails!!!! It was love at first site!!! I've been going there for over 7 years now! I recommend all my friends to go there. Ivy does my mani and Nancy does my pedi I've never ever had a complaint with them doing my nails. Ivy is the best!!!! If I can take this nail shop every time I move away I would. It doesn't get no better than this and for the price you can't beat it! If you want a new feel on what your nails should feel and look like go to Mod nail! read more

Lots of free easy parking Trini did a great job on my mani pedi. I will definitely return. Cash only read more

WORST customer service ever. My mother is in town and we had planned to walk over and get our nails done at 930( when they open) and the store was not open with no one around. They all showed up over 20 minutes late and then proceeded to be EXTREMELY RUDE. My mother and I just left and will never come back to this horrible customer service. Getting your nails done should feel fun and like you're being pampered and they were judging and rude. read more

So I have been trying to find a new salon closer to my house and I thought I would give this place a chance. I have been getting acrylic with gel polish for years and have NEVER had a set last only 6 days before lifting. The girl that did my nails was sweet but looked like she was in high school. They were thick and uneven but I was in a hurry and it took what seemed like forever to get them done in the first place. They wanted to take all the old ones off, ironically, "so they last longer." Lol! This is the third nail salon I have tried, and it was by far the worst out of the 3! I will keep going to Bay City Nails in Redondo. It's worth the drive bc my nails actually last 3 weeks. Sometimes, when I have been traveling, it's been as long as 5 weeks and they didn't lift! read more

I've been going to Mod Nails for years and I always have a great experience there! Whether I have a quick trim or a full mani pedi they never disappoint! read more

Left before the gel gal could put polish to nails. The gel removal gal did a horrible job. She was very aggressive destroying the tops of nails. They are now paper thin and jagged. Back to Sugar Nails who seemed to strengthen my nails. I shouldn't have paid for this crappy job - $17 to ruin my nails! read more

These girls work!! They price all their services right. They are courteous. Making an appointment is always better way to visit any nail salons, but especially this one. No girl is available on weekends. It's a busy salon. Make sure to ask for Triney or Tina! read more

I got a gel manicure and it turned out awful. there were divots in the nail polish and it was bumpy. they missed the tops of my nails and didnt bother to clean up the sides well. They were nice, but don't recommend going there if you want nicely done nails for an event of some sort read more

CONS: 1) Unfriendly staff. 2) Cash only. #1 was enough to make us leave and find a place somewhere else. read more

Extremely mediocre... Setting is nice & I like the fact that you get hot pink lotion but the service & skill level is terrible. $15 for a basic manicure that look like a 5 yr old who painted with her left hand when she was right handed did. A heavily intoxicated person would have done a better job. Please look into their photos on this page to see visuals of what I am talking about. I am unhappy & can't believe they would let someone walk out of their establishment with nails looking like that. I'm not one to throw a fit but this is unacceptable! Come on!!! Will not be coming here ever again. I rather have chipped uneven nails then come here again CASH ONLY? Hey Mod Spa, this is totally illegal and you're not paying your tax dollars. & You're in MH!!! Standards anyone? Good-luck ladies! read more

Mod Nailspa - Worst $15 basic manicure ever!!! I just wanted a basic paint job/cleaning :( - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I would give them a negative -5 stars if I could. Customer service leaves much to be desired! This is the type of nail place that blames and makes fun of the customer....yuck! read more

Used to be a good place but not anymore! When we walked in the receptionist/ manager hammered us to decide on what we wanted done, on the spot. My granddaughter is 8 and wasn't sure if she wanted a full mani/pedi. She was sure that she didn't want to be hounded and stared at! My sweet little granddaughter, was so uncomfortable it'll take some time to get her to agree to go back to get her nails done again! To add insult to injury, after all was said and done, we were overcharged (by $40!). The manicurists are good enough but management is awful! With so many salons in town... the employees should do themselves a favor and go someplace else. I know I will. Mod won't see another dollar of mine or my fams... Mod management, was that $40 really worth all of the lost business? I will be warning everyone NOT to go there! (Most Americans don't understand Vietnamese... but not all of us! Talking about customers while they are sitting in your salon is RUDE!) read more

I was really starting to love this salon until recently the past few times I've been, the techs have been in such a hurry to remove my gel that they've been overfiling to the point that now my nails are super thin and brittle. Tonight, I came in on a slow rainy night and instead of being appreciative for the business the woman who greeted me made a comment that I took a while to arrive, and then I was rushed out afterwards because the staff wanted to close the shop early. I was trying to let my nails dry for just a few minutes and the woman who did my nails said "excuse me, our ride is waiting outside" -- I when told her I wanted to wait a few minutes so that it didn't smudge, she was less than sympathetic and sure enough, I got a huge smudge on my index finger. I'm the type that would go back the next day (because I was rushed out, not bc I was careless) but they are closed on Sundays. C'est la vie. When it's good it's a nice place, but when it's bad it's awful. read more
