I went to YB Professional for a Russian manicure, and it was overall a good experience. Transparently, I had not had a Russian manicure before. They explain what it is in detail on their website, and I was intrigued. I really liked the technician and the front desk person. The service was excellent. They offered me a beverage upon arrival, eye patches during my manicure, and sent me home with cuticle oil for continued cuticle care. The manicure was done with extreme precision, and the polish was applied meticulously. The cuticle removal went just a tiny bit too deep on a couple of my nails. The color came out noticeably lighter than the sample on the nail rack, so it's worth asking for a second coat or checking the color in natural light before they proceed. There is limited free parking in front of the salon. The space is small, and the 2 pedicure chairs are quite close to the 4 manicure tables. They required a non-refundable 20% deposit ($18 for a $90 manicure) at the time of making my appointment. But the online booking is easy. They have a loyalty card program and a fun giveaway lottery. read more

YB Professional - Nail polish selection (they also have a circular rack of fake nails that you can look through to pick your color) - Nail Salons Near Me - Playa Del Rey, California

This place is such a gem! I can't believe I found a Russian mani/pedi in PDR! The women are so nice and professional too. The work is superb. Irina (Ira) is such a professional when it comes to her work and she's so sweet and friendly as well. Zhendaya taught me about hard vs soft gel changed my world. I love hard gel (note it does take longer and is a tad more expensive but worth it). I love Masha she's such a great hostess and makes you feel so welcome as soon as you step through the door. Love love this place absolutely will not go anywhere else in LA. read more

YB Professional - Russian hard gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Playa Del Rey, California

What a wonderful addition to our Playa del Rey neighborhood! YB PROFESSIONAL recently opened and it is already my favorite nail experience ever! The Host: Upon my arrival, I was greeted cheerfully by Julie. I asked a number of questions that were answered thoroughly. She was patient and open. Julie introduced me to the foot massager under the manicure table and offered a face mask and a beverage. The Nail Tech/Artist: Angelina is a skilled nail technician who works with extraordinary attention to detail and great care for the health of my nails. She worked like an artist to polish my nails meticulously. She was efficient and careful...definitely represents the company well. The Business: The studio is clean and organized. The decor is sweet and there is a lovely back room for non-nail services. YB offers amenities unlike any other salon, specifically, tea, water and champagne. I was treated to an electric foot massager while I got my manicure (really great touch!) and I was treated to a face mask while the technician worked on my hands. Kudos to ownership and management for getting it right. Well done. While this was my first Russian Manicure, it will not be my last. read more

I'm so grateful to have found this Russian manicure and pedicure spot so close to home. Not only is the staff highly professional, but their customer service is exceptional. The facility is stunning, and they truly go above and beyond to make you feel pampered--from offering a face mask during your treatment to creating a relaxing, luxurious atmosphere. I'm absolutely in love with my Russian manicure. It's a game changer, especially since it supports healthy nail growth without the use of harsh chemicals--something that's become even more important to me as I focus on conceiving. I highly recommend this experience. You might just find your new self-care haven. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! I came in for a manicure with hard gel and wanted something clean and neutral, this place delivered. They had multiple top coat finish options (glossy, milky, etc.), and my tech was incredibly detailed. I was running a bit late and the team was so kind and understanding, which made the whole experience feel even more relaxing. My nails look so fresh and I'll definitely be back. read more

Great service! Victoria recommended the nail shape and colors for my manicure and pedicure and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend this nail salon. I will definitely be returning. read more

I got a manicure with clear regular polish and a smart pedicure, I loved it! The customer service was great, they offered me champagne, coffee, tea or water. Since there wasn't anyone there I also got to choose to watch something on the shop's tv. I got the manicure and pedicure service done at the same time, the two technicians were great, sweet, and super detailed. I can't say a negative thing! I will definitely be back. read more

Overall lovely experience from beginning to end! I was warmly welcomed into the premises - lots of light, modern decor and so comfortable. Offered a complimentary face mask or eye patches (I chose the face mask and must have looked a sight putting it on; it was super refreshing coming in from a warm day though). The chairs are very high up, but I'm tall so I didn't need the offered step. I've never had a Russian pedicure before: chair is very cushiony and has massaging features. The technician took such great care with my nails and feet - not in the best shape going in - but with cuticle care, reshaping the nails and a lot of dry skin removal later, a light massaging of cream/oil (not greasy at all) and a lovely nail polish colour - I was done. There is no water involved at all - less chance for infections? I will be back for a manicure and for certain for a pedicure again. And where else can you relax with Martha Stewart on tv making endless breads in such a calming, reassuring way. It was the perfect end to a busy day - way more relaxing than I could have hoped for. This is the best nail salon experience I've had and the staff couldn't be kinder. Highly recommend. read more

I walked in here about a month ago and forgot to right a review! It such a lovely experience getting a pedicure here! From the moment I walked in, the staff was professional and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised to be offered drinks and even an eye bag treatment using those under eye patches which was such a thoughtful touch that made the visit feel extra relaxing. Veronica (I believe that was her name) took care of me, and she was absolutely wonderful. So sweet, patient, and skilled! I was indecisive about my nail color and kept going back and forth, but she was incredibly accommodating and never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. In the end, my nails looked amazing and I left feeling pampered and refreshed. -Kennedy read more

It was my first time getting a Russian pedicure and it did not disappoint! They gave my friend and I face masks while we got our toes done. This was probably the best pedicure I've ever gotten and my feet look great! Will be coming back! read more

The quality of the manicure and the vibe of the shop is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

First-ever mani-pedi for this guy, and I'm officially a believer. They were running a little behind, but luckily I wasn't in a hurry. When I walked in, Maria appeared with a giant smile. With champagne. And snacks. And some sticky goopy thing that went under my eyes. Not sure what that last thing was but my skin was softer than a baby's behind afterwards. She told me to put my feet into a massager while I waited and asked me what I wanted to watch. I didn't have anything in mind, so she turned on Great British Bakeoff, which suited the vibes perfectly. Irina, the technician, approached my feet (which had seen better centuries) with the calm precision of a Swiss watchmaker. I left feeling so polished, I considered starting a career in modeling gloves and open-toe shoes. Also, the place is super clean. Gotta love that. In short: I came in skeptical. I left exfoliated. This place is charm, good vibes and a nail salon rolled into one. read more

This is a top notch nail salon. I am hoping that Playa can appreciate the quality and level of experience that these women bring to the nail business. Above and beyond the quality is the little touches. They always bring a drink and a snack and there's a standrard foot massage machine for every nail station. Having such an amazing place has led to me getting my nails done regularly again. read more

I got my lashes done by Yuliana. It was my first time getting my lashes done and she did an amazing job. She made the experience very comfortable and nice-- I got hybrid and loved it. She really knows her craft and will service based on what bests fits your face. I recommend this place! It's new a location but the salon is very clean and also very very beautiful. Nice workers, patient, and friendly; can't beat that service! read more

I went to YB professional for the first time yesterday and had an incredible experience. The salon just opened a few days ago, so I didn't know what to expect but my nails came out perfect and Yuliya was such a gem. She took her time and asked questions to make sure she got it just right. Russian manicures with hard gel are my favorite and this is probably my best set yet. I can't wait to come back and get my pedicure in a few weeks. Also, the salon is gorgeous!! I can't wait to try out some of their other services. read more

I am so happy this salon opened up in my neighborhood, it is absolutely lovely. The ladies are so sweet and TALENTED, the attention to detail is unreal - I truly don't think I can ever go anywhere else for my nails. They always offer a complimentary face mask or under eye patches while you get your mani/pedi and just go above and beyond. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Absolutely worth every penny and every extra minute! This salon has completely redefined what a manicure and pedicure should be. The level of detail and care they put into their work is unmatched--truly next level. I've never had my nails look so flawless or last so long. Not a single chip, which is a miracle for me, and I only needed to return because my nails had grown out--not because the polish failed. If you care about quality and how you present yourself, this place is a no-brainer. So grateful to have them in the neighborhood--what a gem! read more

I am SO happy that YB opened up in the neighborhood! I went in last month for a manicure and my nails still look perfect and can last for another week or 2. I've gotten russian manicures before and they do not last this long!! Yuliya is the sweetest person and made my experience easy and pleasant! read more

I am so excited YB opened in Playa! Their level of service and attention to detail is amazing. Beautiful work!

Nice interior , super clean , amazing quality! Definitely I will recommend this service to my friends.
