Modern Nail 1211 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA 90403

"Professional gas lighters!!! Stay away Got the pedicure + callus removal for $25 + tip at this place for many(!) times previous couple of months. Today I was told they have NEVER done it for this price even after I showed the manager the transactions in my app. She pretended she didn't recognize me. Hahaha, ok, good job. They wanted to charge me 40% extra for the same damn job out of blue. So basically I just got my feet washed and nail polish removed for this money. Hello, I can do it myself, guys! I was here mainly for callus removal all the time. Professional gas lighters!!! Stay away"

"Best nail salon in Santa Monica, hands down. Such excellent nail technicians - plus the salon is freshly decorated and beautiful"

"02/05/2020 I lived a block away and was too lazy to drive to Santa Monica Blvd, so I decided to come here and give them another chance. I was happier with the service this time, but the final result was lacking; my gel manicure chipped off after only five days. A gel manicure is supposed to last for 2-3 weeks. I walked in without an appointment, and they were not busy at all, so I didn't have to wait. I got a pink gel manicure for $30, which is very reasonable. Any other nail salon in the area will charge you between $35 to $45 for a gel manicure. Unfortunately, again I noticed their sanitary conditions. The lady who did my nails didn't wear gloves or wash her hands before taking care of me. The work surface on the manicure table was dirty; I wonder how often they clean it. Changing your nail color without shaping/filling is way cheaper; $8 for hands $10 for feet And just $20 to change your gel color. Again, that does not include shaping and filling your nails."

"Had zero expectations, walked in after going to the post office, but it was low-key the best manicure I’ve ever had. It’s been two and a half weeks and the gels are still hanging on and looking great. Also they were just the nicest people. Will definitely go back."

"Very rushed and uncomfortable atmosphere. Technician not interested in answering questions and when I saw the color I had picked and said it did not look the same as the bottle, she was just said it would look different on and did not let me switch. Polish not applied to entire nail (had to ask for this and only got one finger fixed) and applied very rushed (from one coat to the next in 20 or so seconds). When I was told to put my hand by a fan, one of my nails touched it and it took me about 5 minutes to be able to tell her, after which she just stacked a blob of nail polish on top of the semi-dry area."
