Not great for pedicures. They just put your feet in a bucket while you sit in a computer chair. Kind people but not a great atmosphere.

Marene was amazing! She is so sweet and very talented. I really appreciated her attention to…read moredetail. I highly recommend that you ask for Marene! She does not disappoint. I was really nervous going to a new spot because sometimes technicians skimp on quality but that was not the case here with her. She made my entire day and my French pedicure looks very high end quality. The front desk receptionist Sacha brought us champagne and she was very friendly as well! Super happy! The vibe exceeded expectations

This was one of the worst experiences I've had at a nail salon…read more My manicure started peeling after just a few days, and one nail broke. I came back to have it fixed, and they actually charged me for the repair, even though the manicure had barely lasted. I don't blame the technicians--they did a good job. The problem seems to be the old or poor-quality nail polish that doesn't last. The receptionist, Sasha, also ignored the technician I booked online and assigned me to someone else without any explanation. This has happened more than once. Her customer service is rude, and appointments don't seem to matter. On top of that, they charged me an extra $2 for using a credit card without telling me beforehand, and they don't even accept Apple Pay. It's not about the $2--it's about being transparent with customers. Between the poor-quality polish, charging for repairs after only a few days, the unprofessional front desk, and the hidden credit card fee, I won't be coming back or recommending this salon

I climb and have a…read moreterrible habit of biting and picking at my nails, so my hands and feet were honestly an absolute mess going in. Jay and Ken completely transformed everything and somehow made them look unrecognizable! Jay did such beautiful work on my nails and suggested the loveliest design, while Ken did a phenomenal job on my pedicure. I'm honestly no longer scared to show my hands and feet at my wedding! Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing, exactly what I needed before the wedding. I'm so happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend them!

This all started when they did my nails using a new product that caused my nails to chip and snag- their policy was they would fix it which they did, but at the expense of me never being allowed to go there again. I tried to Make an appt after that and they kept saying they were busy, then my friend called and got an appt right away and put it under her name and not mine. I showed up and they stumbled over their words they didn't know what to say. Lame place, lame service, take your money elsewhere. Don't go here- I'm warning you they are very rude

This is the best nail salon I've ever been to. I get dip because it's organic, doesn't harm my skin…read morew/ the UV light, and is the only thing that's ever made my nails grow long while lasting 3-5 weeks. Here's the thing, everywhere else I've ever been the technicians have lied to me and used gel on top of the dip or just not known how to do dip well. Every single person who's ever done my nails here has been a true master at the craft. Everyone is also very kind and I've never had trouble with availability or getting an appointment. They have also never, ever hustled me. There are salons nearby that may seem a little more glamorous, but they will nickle and dime you for everything, hustle you, rush you, and do not know their craft. This place does. I've cheated on them once with a local place like that and I hugely regretted it. If you come here, it will be your new spot. I LOVE 18K and I know you will too.

bruh, I'm only doing this review because i spent almost $300 here for my nail to lift after one…read moreday. Yesterday was nightmare -- I hate my nails & I even gave them a chance to fix them before I left their business. I just received attitudes, it was insane. i was streaming the whole time as well so whatever, if that's how they want to conduct their business so be it' !!He also said he didn't break my toe nail in half but that's very hard to believe for me because he hurt me and then my toe was broken in half. I was so livid, I gave them so many chances an still tipped. come on santa monica ??
