Spa Nails Del Rey

I’ve been going to the salon for about half a year now, I have gone to others in between and I have always been disappointed in the results I get. Lilly is the best at gel nails, they always come out looking so good.

Love my spa nails… Such a thorough mani, gels look badass for at least 2 weeks. Always perfect nail art, always cheap and so sweet. It’s my go to. Makes me feel fresh ;)

My first experience here was amazing. Kim was gentle on my nails, she did a great pedicure and overall, I was delighted at the experience for the price.
Yes, the place is dreary. Yes, the equipment is old. But the place was clean and I thought Kim was sweet.
I continued to see Kim for three months and over all, things were good. I was happy, I really wanted to like this place.
Then one morning I needed a mani/​pedi, so I checked their biz card and it said they were open at 9:00 am. I arrived at 9:30 to find that the time on the door said 10:00. I decided to go next door for a quick bite and come back at 10:00.
At 10:15 I called the number on the door to see if they were opening today. I was told they were opening and that they’d be there in «15 minutes.» I specifically asked if they would be there in 15 minutes or more like half an hour because I’d already been there since 9:30? «No, no, 15 minutes,» they said.
At 10:45, they sauntered around the corner, carrying their morning coffee, ready to start work.
I learned my lesson. The next time I went, I dropped in, made an appointment for me and my girlfriend, and came back at the agreed upon time. We waited over 20 minutes for our mani-pedi’s to start and when they did start, they stopped in the middle to give someone else a pedi.
I go to another CKK nails in Marina Del Rey now. I love it.
So if you go: be prepared to like the people, but not the service or the way you are treated. And good luck to you.

Great place!!! Lilly is so nice and the rest of the staff. Comfortable with great options for services and nail polish!

Celebrating 1 year of great nails with Lili and Kim. I’m so happy I found this place. 5 stars every time. Kim, Michael, Ann and Lily are each talented nail artists. They really pamper me. The salon is always peaceful and relaxing. And above all, my nails are healthier and longer than I’ve ever had. Happy dance!

In my opinion, this is the best place to get your nails done in Playa del Rey. Everyone here is very friendly and does good work. My polish lasts a long time and my nails are always shaped nicely.
One thing to be aware of is that some days they are low on staff and not incredibly fast workers, so you may have to wait a while before they start on you. Typically I understand this happening, unless I made an appointment. I recommend telling them if you have to be done by a certain time, and arriving earlier than your appointment.
FYI you can park anywhere in that lot behind the small grocery store that’s next to the salon.

Thank you guys! You Are the best! The stuff are so creative, polite! They do really great job! It is always clean and good atmosphere in a salon. The stuff are great you with a smile. I am happy to go back every time.

Lilly, the owner & manager is on site 7 days a week, she takes great pride in maintaining a spotless salon! Ms. Cambodia 2014 works her and she is the best, ask for here by name. My gel manicure is always flawless! This is the ONLY nail shop in Playa del Rey I recommend. The others are simply sloppy and unprofessional. Spa Nails has never disappointed me!

Really disappointed! And I’m really upset because my other review was glowing but I went here a second time and though the service was good, my mani didn’t last and it was nothing like my experience with Kim.
They charge a lot. More than Nail Garden for a gel mani pedi and they aren’t putting any of it back into the atmosphere of the space.
It would be much better with a full renovation and kept appointments.

Really nice and attentive, they always remember my name and make me feel relaxed. Really do a stellar job and have OPI and Esse gel so that’s a plus. Id come more often if I hadn’t moved away from the area. PS. They prefer cash so dont try to use a card… you can but they dont really like it :)

Worst wait and super dirty! After waiting for a full hour, the space was gross and the color options were lame. Don’t go here!

My mom and I made an appointment for a mani pedi at 3pm, we came in at 2:55, it was very busy, and only I sat down around 3:15. My mom didn’t sit down until 3:50!!! They even sat down another guy that came in after us. Then they had the audacity to charge her the extra $ 5 fee for the extra foot scrub. No tip. Never coming back. If your salon is too busy then don’t make the fu@&$ing appointment in the first place. Time management, try it Spa Nails Del Rey.

Will not be going back. Even with an appointment they got to me 50 minutes later. They even forgot about me and sat someone else who came in 20 minutes after me. They still charged full price until I insisted they give me some sort of discount

I LOVE this place. I should start off by saying i’m super picky when it comes to getting my nails done. I have dropped a nail place almost instantly if i’m unsatisfied… but this place has never failed me. I usually go in on Saturday mornings and if you get there by 10am you should be able to have someone see you right away. There are plenty of times i’ve had to wait a bit but it’s honestly no big deal. go over to café milan next door and get a tea or something and come back.
I usually get a full set/​fill gel and a pedicure. I can usually go 2 – 2 ½ weeks before getting a fill and my nails usually last forever before I need to replace them. However some people have their own preference about when someone should replace the nail. My nails have never chipped, the paint has always lasted and the shape is always even.
I usually get the basic pedicure and maybe once or twice i’ve done the $ 30 one. I love the massage chairs, everything is always very clean and the girls are great. I think i’ve had a pedicure done by every girl and no complaints here.
Everyone is super friendly. the girls all know people by name. I highly suggest this place!

I went in to this place seriously overdue. The two ladies really worked hard on my hands and feet. I feel like a new woman!

Was in the area and needed a pedi, had some time to kill. Found this place on yell & called to ask if they had time for a pedicure at 2:30 and they said yes! So I arrive at 2:30… It’s 2:50 and I haven’t even been greeted. So I said «excuse me can someone at least start the foot spa while I’m waiting??» And one of the ladies said «she’s almost done.»
Waited another 5 more minutes before they finally sit me down…
The pedicure turned out ok, total was $ 18.
I won’t come back here again, not because they did a bad job. But there are literally 3 ppl who work here and they don’t know how to efficiently run the business.

Service was great and I loved how my gel manicure and pedicure turned out. I came in early on a Friday which I recommend because it did start to get busy fast. They were able to accommodate everyone coming in, they just had to wait a little bit.
They did my manicure and pedicure at the same time, talk about getting pampered! They didn’t pressure me or try to upsell which I liked too. Everyone was very nice. I did the white tips for both my toes and gel manicure and it was $ 58 which isn’t bad at all. I had them done almost a week ago and have had no chipping on either my toes or nails.
You can see from the picture attached how great my nails looked. They did a very professional job. They took their time and did not rush at all which was nice, especially since a couple girls were waiting. Great place!

Eh. I made two mani pedi appts for me and my mom and had to wait over an hour. My nails were uneven and the shop itself is old. I might consider going back only if I really needed to get my nails done and didn’t have time to go elsewhere.

Came in for a gel manicure and was very disappointed with the service AND the manicure. My nails were filed uneven, the gel nail-​polish was done sloppy and the massage on my arms and hands lasted about .5 seconds… AND it cost me $ 25!!! NEVER coming back here again, waste of money

I usually go to the nail shop in PDR on Manchester but this shop was closer this particular day and recommended by a friend so I gave it a shot. On a Saturday afternoon they had three people working. That’s it. Three. They told me to come back in an hour. ONE HOUR wait should indicate a need for more staff. I work down the street so I just went and hung out with a girlfriend there. I came back in an hour.
The pedicure was fine. The woman did an average job. I had been walking around the beach earlier and had tar on the bottom of my foot which she did a good job of removing for me. The customer who came after me had to specifically ask her to sterilize the instruments because she’s gotten infections from dirty work tools. Eww. That should be a given. She shouldn’t have had to ask her to clean them first.
I think the owner did my manicure and she did a pretty shit job. It was certainly rushed. She put way too much polish on a few fingers. They didn’t take payment halfway through so I had to reach into my wallet with as much care as possible with wet nails. No offer to get the money for me. They didn’t offer to bring my stuff over to where the UV light station was. I actually had to ask them where it was and request for them to plug it in for. Speaking of which, the polish cracked as it dried because it was applied too thick. They didn’t pull down my pant legs for me. No «thanks» for the tip and no good-​bye when I left. I was really just left to my own devices after the paint job. Maybe they treat their regulars much better but for a $ 30 mani/​pedi the customer service and work quality suck. I certainly won’t ever be a regular and actually I won’t be back.
