I enjoyed my service with Nancy for summer nails. It's been a while since I seen her and I am still happy with her service. :) read more

Nancy Nails - Nancy Nails.......summer gals! - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Nancy is the best of the best! I have searched for years to find someone who is so detailed and perfect in their craft. My cuticles require a lot of attention and Nancy makes them look flawless. She also shapes nails like no one else. She is truly a miracle worker and I love coming to her. I'll never go to anyone else again. Note: Nancy only takes individual appointments and only does basic mani and pedi and gel nails. No acrylic and no dip powder. read more

Nancy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

I've been coming to Nancy for the last 1.5 years. She always does a perfect job on my nails and gives the best massages. She also has a huge selection of colors and they're always well organized. My gel nails last 3-4 weeks without chipping. I tried other shops around Marina/Playa/west side and none of them compare to her in terms of quality, service, and professionalism. Other shops will speak negatively about their clients, rush the job, or try to give you a shorter massage time. No integrity. Nancy is the best. Give her a call for an appointment. She'll be your favorite! read more

Nancy Nails - Gel nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

The best of the best! Super sweet as well. I moved so far away and am still considering making the trek!

Nancy has a soft, yet firm touch. She was very patient in helping select my colors and I love the way my nails turned out. She works out of her own suite/office so she asks that you be respectful of her time... makes perfect business sense to me. It was easy to make a same-day appointment via phone. Pros: Nancy! Very nice and diligent. Impeccable! My gel/polish is going on 3 weeks. Free parking. Great selection of colors and products. Note (not really cons): Appointments only by phone Cash (no card, Apple Pay, Venmo) payment only read more

I have been going to Nancy for nearly 5 years, and she is incredible. Best gel manicure and polish pedicure I've ever had, every single time. She's extremely professional, clean, kind, detail-oriented and truly talented -- which is why I drive from West Hollywood to Marina Del Rey twice a month! What you need to know, though, is that Nancy commutes *four hours* (two here, two home) for her customers, and only comes in on days she has appointments. If you cancel, reschedule or show up late, she loses time, money and it messes up her entire schedule. Unlike a traditional salon with many nail techs, Nancy works alone, one-on-one, so making and keeping your appointment is extremely important -- and booking an initial one can be tricky, since she's often doing nails! Keep trying, and if you commit to showing up, you will have the best nails of your life, I promise! Being on time in LA is so tough for me, but it's always worth it for Nancy's fantastic work. read more

Perfect nails - every single time!! I won't go anywhere else !! Nancy is the best and price is so reasonable !!

I never leave unhappy. That's what makes me happy! I only like Nancy. Make sure you respect her at all times. You can tell that her business took a lot of hard work! read more

Nancy continues to impress me!!! She is amazing at what she does. She really takes her time making sure your nails look perfect. It's one on one so be patient if she doesn't answer the phone. If she has a client there she is dedicating peace and quietness to her customer by not answering the phone. Just leave a message and she will call you back. This is not your typical salon that you go to and hear 12 different conversations. It's you and her and it's amazing. Actually relaxing. I have taken naps before!! That's how relaxing it is. Also I know she's not working there every day since covid. Covid has affected every small business so people be NIIIIICE! Nancy has amazing colors to choose from and will pick out colors that compliment your skin. Truly the best!!!! read more

Today was my first time getting my nails done by Nancy and I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. I called her at 10:27am and received a called back at 10:31am asking me what time I was looking to come in. I honestly didn't think she would be able to get me in today as I know she's by appointment only but she was able to get me in for 11am! So sweet and accommodating. Her work is impeccable. I have never (seriously) left a nail salon and felt like the work was beyond great until I left Nancy's today. I have zero complaints and only great things to say about my entire experiencing. The whole vibe was clean, fresh, accommodating, sweet, personable. Thank you sooo much Nancy! I cannot wait to come back! And thanks for being so sweet to Quinn! read more

Nancy Nails - Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Nancy is very professional, always on time and perfect nails when I walk out of her salon. She doesn't work on Sundays nor is her phone answered on Sundays or currently does not take new clients. The post that was written is incorrect and maybe a mix up with another salon. She does nothing less than perfection nails. read more

Took me like 5 different times to make an appointment because nobody picks up the phone, finally someone picked up and on Sunday I made an appointment for Thursday . Since it was important for me ( I'm going to a wedding) I tried calling on Tuesday like 2-3 times to confirm that appointment but nobody picked up and on Wednesday about 4 times but nobody picked up. Decided not to worry because I have an appointment ( maybe they are busy etc). On Thursday ( appointment day) I'm calling because I have arrived but can't find the place and the lady pick up the phone and tells me that I don't have an appointment and that she doesn't recognize this number. All in all this place is a joke and if you want to waste your time trying to reach out to them they might forget about your appointment and you will be left sitting dumbfounded. Very unprofessional read more

Thanks Nancy for being super professional and doing a great job on my nails! Very clean and relaxing place and she pays attention to detail and would like you to really like it before she finishes the manicure/pedicure. Appreciate it. Hannah read more

I've been getting my nails done solely by Nancy since I discovered her back in 2015. And she has, pun intended, nailed it every single time. I don't think I've ever come away from a single appointment disappointed by her manis (and even if I feel like I chose the wrong color, that's on me, not her, but her color selection is nicely curated). Made the mistake of going elsewhere since I moved to WeHo, but won't be doing that again. The quality of her work can't be matched at bigger salons. She is super meticulous, proud of her work, and genuinely loves what she does. Her tiny 2-seat set up has always been clean, but is even more organized during Covid. She double masks and remains vigilant at all times. It's understandable she wants to protect her space for both her clients and herself, so please be respectful of the rules she outlined. Her phone was ringing off the hook during my session and I could only be thrilled that she is back in business. Strictly cash only. Free parking in the garage. Call for appointments. read more

Nancy Nails - Gel mani, oval shape with slightly more pointed edges. - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

So, I just moved from the East Coast and I literally need everything again. I am SO happy so to have found Nancy via Yelp!! Not only is she so sweet-she took me close to closing-but she does a FANTASTIC job! I had the best manicure and pedicure of my life. The color selection is fantastic, the suite is cute-and Nancy was just amazing. I will definitely be back and expanding this review, when I'm not as exhausted!! read more

Nancy Nails - Perfect! - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

I LOVE Nancy. She loves what she does and it shows with her work. I went to her over 2 years ago and just started going back to her and the quality of service hasn't gone down one bit. It's relaxing, good energy, and the prices are so reasonable. She's a hidden gem in LA and never disappoints!! read more

If you're like me, then you know how incredibly frustrating an inconsistent mani/pedi can be. You walk into a new salon and its a total crap shoot, you never know what you're gonna get, and sometimes you go someplace and they do a great job one time and the next time.... not so much? Well those days are OVER for me because I have found THE ONE. Her name is NANCY and I am never getting my nails done by anyone else, ever again, PERIOD! Before I started coming to see her I had worked with one of her clients for 4 years and this woman's nails were ALWAYS immaculate. Perfect. Flawless. I've now been a client for 3 months and can honestly say my nails are prefect. The shape, my cuticles, everything! And they last! And above all else, she is so sweet and nice and really listens to what you wants. I can't say enough, really she is THE BEST. UPDATE: 3 years later and Nancy is still the ONLY person I trust with my nails. I've been coming to her exclusively since my last post. She is THAT good. (There were some recent ownership changes at this location that may have caused some confusion but Nancy is back at the Phenix Salon Suites.) Please support Nancy. True, she is by appointment only, but believe me, she is worth it. Beyond talented and so very sweet. read more

It's refreshing to find a hidden gem in Marina del Rey. I discovered her a few weeks ago via Yelp and already got my second gel mani and pedi. There's a good selection of Essie and OPI gel + matching lacquer colors and she DOES NOT offer designs / chrome art/ etc. Not only is she friendly and has a bright sense of humor, Nancy is meticulous and actually cares about what she does other than just getting the job done to get paid. She always asks for your length preference - I trust her opinion more than myself. She never rushes yet miraculously finishes in a timely manner. It's more of an intimate experience which I appreciate because it's never overwhelming with others around you. I don't mind paying a little more for the quality of something I need to get done routinely. The convenience of free parking and scheduling appointments are just the extra perks of going to Nancy's. She responds pretty quickly via text for appointment scheduling. read more

Nancy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

I just moved to the marina and have officially found my nail salon. This is the second time I have seen Nancy and I will never trust anyone else with my nails! She is so meticulous, I honestly have never had anyone paint my nails as good as she does. She does not use any electric tools that thin my nails out and strong uv lights that dry my skin. She is so sweet, I highly recommend her. read more

Nancy Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Nancy lives up to her yelp reviews, my mani/pedi looks amazing! I doubt there's anyone willing to pay such attention to detail in a regular salon. She checks and double checks her work as she goes, and there were times when she'd stop what she was doing just to fix the tiniest mistake, be it a spot of polish or an unkept cuticle. I got a basic pedicure and a gel manicure, and in total I paid $61. I think this is a pretty average price for these services- the Beaut nail salon in my neighborhood charges $45 just for a gel manicure. The salon space is clean and comfortable, and I really like that it's by appointment only, so I know that block of time is for me alone. It's not a regular nail salon, so don't expect bedazzled acrylics or hot stone massages. However, I can't emphasize this enough, this is the best manicure and pedicure I've ever had. My nails are literally perfect. The edge of the polish is so clean! I'm not going anywhere else from now on, Nancy is the best. read more

I'm really particular when it comes to personal / beauty care. I shop around and around and around and around (and sometimes I even forgo the service if I'm not satisfied) until I find someone that I'm totally comfortable with. After all, I'll be coming regularly and must trust this person to service my skin, hands, feet. I found that in Nancy. She's utterly professional, courteous and welcoming. Her place is intimate, clean and super comfortable. She also does the best mani pedis - don't even waste your time on the "regular" options, treat yourself and get The Orchid. You deserve it. And that's what it feels like each time I'm here : a momentary respite from the world, an hour of glorious phalange-euphoria retreat. Note: she works alone and only takes one client at a time. If you want to come in with friends, stagger the appointment. Also, she's super busy and answers her own calls, so be patient and book in advance! read more

Nancy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Nancy's Nails is a great place to go for a natural manicure and/or pedicure. She does not do acrylics. Nancy works alone and does an excellent job. She is very particular about the finished product and the cleanliness of her shop. Nancy has been doing my nails for the last two years. The picture I have attached is my nails three weeks after my manicure. I get gel color and they always look great every time! read more

Nancy Nails - Nancy is the best!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Nancy is outstanding. She is a perfectionist and loves what she does. She is family. To note: the bad review you see is an outlier. This woman never even spoke to Nancy. She or He is obviously lying.l since Nancy does not take new clients since the Pandemic. read more

I will update this review once I get a first hand experience of her talent that everyone raves about. I called to book for an appointment 3 weeks from the call. She was quick to turn me down and says she has her REGULAR clients to see, is fully booked and will just call me if there was an opening. I suggested other days/times, and tried to work with her but to no avail. She further reiterates that she's a one-man show, 3x. It's probably difficult to attend to the demand. I truly understand this kind of situation. She's a perfectionist, talented and keeps everything in perfect order. Everyone wants her service but there's not enough of her. THEREFORE, since she already has a REGULAR business, with REGULAR clients, that keeps her REGULAR, CONSISTENT 40-50 hrs per week and business is thriving and in perfect order, she should deem her business CLOSED to the public. Her business is similar to a members-only type of club, where clients have already been selected and you need to be in the waitlist to get in, if you ever get in. Take the business off of Yelp so people won't be calling to be turned down and spoken rude to. There's a good chance that the real reason she turned me down was the fact that I was only going to do regular mani. No pedi, no gel. As high demand as she is, this will naturally be a waste of her time and energy especially since there's probably a long waitlist for the more common gel mani/pedi service. read more

I called up Nancy because her yelp reviews are impeccable. She was very stern on the phone and emphasized that she only takes cash and that if I am late for any reason, I could not be seen. I understand her taking extra precaution because it was my first time seeing her, however it felt like she was upset and that's not really the vibe you want to put out there if you want someone to return. I get to her room in the Phoenix Suites and it's small, clean, bright, smells good. She greets me and my mother. I ask if it's okay for my mom to sit in the empty chair, she says it's fine. Music is softly playing in the background. So far, so good. While she's doing my nails, Nancy proceeds to explain to me that she lives two hours away. And that traffic is really bad and that's why she's so pressed when clients come in late because it throws her schedule off. She complains that people say their 5 minutes away and then show up half an hour later. (I was on time by the way). She says it's expensive to rent her room and that she tries to make the most of her time there. And I'm just nodding, agreeing. While I totally understand where she's coming from, it's off putting to come to an appointment to do some relaxing and self care and your technician is complaining the whole time. I understand we all need someone to vent to but I sensed she was very angry about something. I got a gel manicure and a pedicure, if I'm not mistaken, the total was either $60 or $80. I forgot, but I paid, tipped her generously and made my way out. My nails came out okay. They were nice. But I wouldn't rave about them. I've gotten better service elsewhere. She kept everything clean and clearly shows you that the tools were sterilized, and I appreciate that. But I will not be returning and I wouldn't honestly recommend her. Maybe I'm sensitive or caught her on a bad day. read more

Actually stumbled into here on accident thinking I made an appointment at happy nails (both in the same plaza/floor) but was so happy to have done so! The location itself is in a spa suite.. basically there are multiple suites/shops within a building that all share the same hallway. The nail salon is run by just Nancy (maybe someone else too, there was another room) but it's not your typical salon with a group of people working so be sure to make an appointment in advance. (Oh and special note. This place is cash/check only so come prepared. There is an ATM if you don't have either on you.) Nancy is so sweet and seriously meticulous! She was very detail oriented with filing my nails and painting the edges, not just the top surface of the nail. She also took the time to ask me if I was okay with the shape/length instead of assuming and moving to the next steps. Because she works alone, she's flexible with the time and you don't feel like she's rushing to finish and go home. She is a true professional who cares about her clients.. no wonder she had such a loyal clientele! Very happy with the results of my pedicure and gel manicure. Everyone who walks in to get their nails done should leave feeling happy. Will come back, thank you Nancy! read more

If you are looking for a perfectionist who is amazing at her job and really cares, look no more. Nancy is the absolute best! The proof is in her work. Not only do my manicures (and pedicures) look terrific, they last! I struggled for years to find a place that was worthy and I was continuously let down. Just so you know, this is not your cookie cutter assembly line nail salon. Nancy works on her own so an appointment needs to made and respecting her time is appreciated but that only makes me love her more. She is incredibly hard working and she truly does wonderful work. Her space is cute and tidy and the experience is very relaxing. Plus, parking is easy and free! If you are looking for a mediocre mani, head over to one of the chains. If you are looking for perfection, give Nancy a shout. read more

Nancy has been doing my nails for a year now and she is absolutely amazing! I went to Nancy after many disappointments at larger nail salons. What I enjoy the most is that she has very high standards for her business and she works alone. Since she works alone, you can escape the hustle and bustle of larger salons and enjoy a nice, relaxing experience. Her prices are very reasonable and she offers a variety of mani/pedi packages to choose from. Nancy is a perfectionist in her work and my nails always turn out amazing. When regular polish is put on my fingernails, it lasts almost 2 weeks without chipping! I can't say the same happens at larger salons. If you are looking for a place that does acrylics and fancy designs, this is not the place for you. She only offers the basic mani/pedi, gel polish, and paraffin wax. As mentioned in other reviews, she does charge a cancellation fee of $25. Since this is a business run by one individual, she relies on her customers to show up and be on time. So be very sure that you can make it to your appointment. You won't be disappointed! read more

I have been coming to see Nancy for years now, and there is a reason for that. She is a perfectionist with an unparalleled skill set in nail care. She takes her time because she truly cares about her work. She is the only technician in the shop so she doesn't have a lot of time for answering the phone, which is why she goes by appointment only, but she's as sweet and gecan be. The reviews here about unwelcoming voices are unfair. I hope that you can come see her and get The Nancy treatment because it is wonderful and worth making an appointment. read more

To make a long story short I needed a manicure and pedicure yesterday at the last minute I went on yelp and found Nancy's nails I read the reviews I called the number I got the voicemail but she called me back in less than 10 minutes she was able to fit me in right away because she had a cancellation. The salon is located above the Yard House in Marina Del Rey easy parking and a clean salon and Nancy is very professional and friendly. I will tell you it was the best manicure in my life I highly recommend her and I will be going back to her every time from here on out. read more

Nancy is an absolute gem. I visited her for the first time today after reading all her positive Yelp reviews, and I was not disappointed. She is sweet as can be, and was meticulous with my gel manicure. She likes to take her time, so if you're in a hurry, this may not be the right spot for you. She works by herself and commutes 1.5-2 hours to and from West Covina every day, so her time is precious. Be early and respectful! She's not cheap ($39 for a gel removal and gel manicure) but you are paying for the impeccable quality, as well as the quiet and intimate atmosphere. I'm very happy with my experience and will definitely be visiting again. read more

Nancy is the best!!!! Love love love her! I almost don't want to write her a review because she is always booked it is a 1woman show. So for those of you who do not show for your appointments and make them take yourself to one of those places that take walk ins. Nancy runs a great business here and makes the time in her schedule to see you and offer her fantastic services. When she blocks the schedule for you it means she can't book anyone else in that time. Makes sense right?? So book in advance and show up otherwise good luck getting an appointment again. Respect her time people!! She is worth the wait... 5 stars always excellent manicurist. read more
