05-2025 Serenity Nail Lounge in List Best 20 Nail Salons in Santa Monica, CA (Part 3)Two Gemini girls - Santa Monica Kim Young: Celina is so sweet. Love that she speaks English and the salon is quiet, Beautiful, and clean. Best pedicure I ever got. And my nails look great
Bellacures - Santa Monica Jamie Latta: Im obsessed with the Dazzle Dry manicure. This polish dries in 5 minutes and usually last about 10 days without damaging my nails like gels. Jazzmyne did a great job. Worth the little bit extra bc it lasts.
Noor Nail Bar - Los Angeles Clare Niemeyer: I was SO excited to come here and DROVE 2 HOURS to my appointment only for no one to show up and they ignored all my messages. I’m extremely upset. Is this place a scam? I booked over instagram and received a text confirmation for the Santa Monica location. When I arrived, the door to the building was locked. As I debated on what to do, someone was exiting the building so I got in, found the “room” and the salon was completely dark?? I am so beyond confused. Attaching photos
Zumani Hair & Nails - Santa Monica Anna Benzino: Came here to get natural looking hard gel nails and my experience was beyond expectation! Ronny was super professional, very thorough and did a wonderful job.
Complimentary hand and arm massage which felt great!
Will definitely be back.
Paint Bar - Santa Monica Teresa Cordova: This is my second visit and I have to say I was extremely disappointed. Definitely not the quality I expected for $150 nails.
They’re not bad…. But the nail on my thumb is slanted, and other nails had bubbling or the gel was not evenly distributed. I could tell my technician was new, she mentioned she had only started one month prior. The shape of my nails did not match, and after I mentioned it several times I could tell she was frustrated and I felt bad, however it was visibly different. It wasn’t until the end when she asked another nail tech for help. The second nail tech (I think it was Lena), filed one hand which was perfect and handed the other hand for my nail tech to finish based on what Lena had done.
I think the level of knowledge should be reflected in the pricing. Clients should not have to pay full price for someone “in training”.
After this experience I will unfortunately be looking for a new nail salon that pays more attention to detail.
12Twelve Nail Bar - Marina Del Rey Courtney Nunley: I’ve gone twice now to get gel x manicures and I loved my experience both times! The colorful ombre nails were done by Rachel and the orange and gold nails were done by Tammy. Both did such a high quality job! I’ve also gone to Leo who did a great job too. I just got the orange and gold ones, but the colorful ombre nails held up really well for a month. I only got them redone because my nails had grown out quite a bit.
The salon is clean and well kept. Everybody there is kind and friendly. I felt very welcomed into the space. I’m happy to have found a great salon in the area and I couldn’t recommend Rachel, Tammy, Leo, and the whole salon more.
Venice Soleil Nails & Spa - Venice Brittany Alter: Handed off between 2 techs for a simply dip nail. The nails are so thick they physically ache, approximately 2.25 millimeters thick. More annoyingly, every single nail had cracked and chipped within TWO DAYS. Seriously!?!?!!?!?
I treated myself to this nail service after a terrible massage and facial upstairs. I was hopeful to decompress in good hands. Weeeelp, the guy who did my massage (and hurt my neck doing an unconsented neck adjustment (!!!!!)) was also just sitting in the salon waiting for customers. I wonder if any of these folks are even licensed for a specific skill or just employees floating about.
I am from Chicago so I cant go back to fix the issues theyve created. After spending just shy of $500 for the crappiest services of my life, I feel scammed. Definitely do not go here.
BE & J Nails - Los Angeles Sage: I came here expecting a relaxing nail appointment. Instead, I got a masterclass in rudeness, dishonesty, and how to completely ruin a customer’s experience.
Jessica operates like she’s being forced at gunpoint to do nails—zero enthusiasm, zero respect, and 100% attitude. You can literally feel her contempt as she rushes through your service like she’s competing in the Nail Olympics (spoiler alert: she loses).
But here’s where she really shines: mystery pricing. What starts as one price magically inflates by the end—no explanation, just vibes. When I politely questioned it, she gave me a look so disgusted you’d think I asked her to donate a kidney.
Oh, and if you dare to ask her to fix something? Be prepared for a world-class eye roll and a sigh so deep it might alter weather patterns.
Jessica, if you hate doing nails so much, just say that. Or better yet—find another job where customer service isn’t required.
Final advice? If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid this place like a contagious disease. There are plenty of salons nearby that actually know how to treat people like human beings.
Fancies Nails - Los Angeles Sara Frigui: I’ve been here twice now and both experiences have been wonderful! Annie is an expert at her job and has gone above and beyond to give me manicures that last far longer than anywhere else I’ve been to and look far better. She’s also so efficient, and gets me in and out in under an hour. Frank manages the front of the salon, is so friendly and welcoming, and even offers water/tea to customers. I strongly recommend this salon and will be coming back regularly!
