Dominic Nail Spa

Amazing everything! Service and quality; highly recommend! I asked for very thin and natural acrylics and they came out perfectly.

I just moved to Manhattan beach from hermosa. I’ve been going to the same nail spa for probably 5 years but it’s too far to travel since the move! I love Dominic nails. I’ve been in 3 times now and they’re super good, my gel lasts for 3 weeks, and they’re super helpful in picking out colors! It’s only $ 32 for gel and $ 49 if you want to add a pedicure. I’ve had my pedi for almost 6 weeks with NO CHIPS!!!

Dom is the best! He even managed to get acrylic nails on my very short esthetician nails!

My 17 yr old daughter are from the east coast visiting L.A. We decided to get mani-​pedis since clouds and winds put a damper on our day at the beach. This was the closest place that didn’t require appointments. They took both of us right away and sat us together which was a good start. No one likes to wait. They offer basic services only. No deluxe or «spa» pedi. They were fast and efficient and price was right for what you get. I would sum up as a good express nail service. Clean and aromatic but not the place for any pampering or special treatment.

What a relaxing and nice mani pedi! Had same technician for both and that was so nice too! Great hand and foot massage!! thanks Dom!

This was my GoTo salon for a mani/​pedi while living in MB.
Parking: Typical MB; metered street parking, if you are lucky enough to get a spot. But in the non-​summer mornings, its easy.
Appointments: I never made an appointment, just would stop by and see if they could get me in.
They always did a good job. Bonus, Dominic is very friendly. Even brought my daughter a few times. Plus, good polish selection.
Its a little more expensive than other places around. And its CASH only, but there’s several ATMs down the street.
If you’re a local, you’ll bump into people you know.

They fit 3 of us in for mani-​pedis. The bad thing is that their prices aren’t posted and you have to look for the little 8X10 sign on the table. They ONLY take cash or a local check, so we had to run to the cash machine down the street. They do the mani and pedi at the same time, so you are in and out really fast and it was really cheap ($ 34 for mani-​pedi)! We are from the mid-​west, and pay $ 45 for a pedi alone!
Now, the things that I didn’t like. I feel like they rush you through and don’t really listen to what you want. My daughter had an aqua blue color and they painted her toes the Aqua, but the manicurist just started painting her hands a pink color without asking her, so she had to repaint them. Also by the time they finished my hands, and the lady already moved on to another customer, I noticed spots that she missed on my hands.
Finally, this last thing is a pet-​peeve of mine. The manicurist and pedicurist were chatting the whole time in their native language (Chinese?). This is extremely rude. For one, you should be paying attention to your customers, not visiting with each other, but if you find that you absolutely MUST communicate, then speak ENGLISH! It’s annoying because you never know WHAT they are talking about. And when they glance at you, of course you think they said something about you. It’s just common curtesy!!!

Meticulous! Took off old set of nails, Had a full set put on and a pedicure! Didn’t have to wait long to get in. They were so nice, as were the other patrons in the shop at the time!

I did a walk-​in, and as a first time customer, I am extremely pleased with the service and results. Being quite prone to ingrowns, Ann did a fantastic job on my pedicure and fixed that right up! The rest of the ladies made wonderful suggestions for nail colour, as I was looking for a change from my usual selection of colours.

Called in to make an appointment and was seen right away. Mye, who was my manicurist did an amazing job on my nails. Loved the outstanding service and attention I received from my manicurist and the staff who were all very sweet.

Been to many salons and this is by far my favorite! The staff are all incredibly friendly and do a wonderful job on my nails! Great prices too!

Bad. Most workers were sleeping on the empty chairs (at 2pm) and they kept passing the «ball» to decide who was gonna do my nails. I had a mani pedi and they rushed through it. The lady that finally took me, filed my nails so badly… I had a square shape and, without even asking, she filed them pointy. Yikes. Also, when I asked if I could pay with a credit card (as in many other places) the cashier/​owner just laughed at me instead of just answering. Very weird and a bit rude. Not going back.

YYYYYYAAAAAAAYYY!!!
I usually have a «Manicure Monday» with one of my bff’s! This is my favorite place FOR MANICURES. I don’t get my pedicures done here because I don’t think they do stones and fancy designs. My friend gets her pedis here and she totally in love.
Okay so back to my manicures., they give the best hand massages! I always feel so relaxed. They have like a zillion color options by the way! I always use Essie and it lasts. Idk what these other reviews are talking about, but they never do only one coat.
The staff here is super friendly and welcoming. If you are lucky enough to get Dom to do your nails then YAYS to you because he is the owner of the salon I believe.
Another great thing that I never have to yell about is hygiene. This place is super clean and they sanitize all of their tools before and after.
It gets no better!!!

I was actually surprised to see the bad to mediocre reviews on this place. I don’t live in the area, but every time I’m in LA, I am tempted to come here. I’ve probably been here a total of 5 or so times, and each and every time, I received the best, quick mani-​pedi EVERR. The staff is always so friendly and kind. They seem to be thoroughly experienced with nail services just by watching them work. You most certainly can tell everyone has been doing this for a WHILE.
I would recommend this salon to anyone and everyone. I would be surprised if anyone is disappointed.

They spend more time looking out the window than what they are doing! I keep my nails short, so it was an easy manicure/​pedicure for them. For me, I couldn’t walk or use my fingers without stabbing pain. Why? because they didn’t round them like I asked, my nails were becoming ingrown because they were looking out the window and not at the harm they were causing me. I went back for them to redo. She was very dismissive. Plus they do not sterilize their instruments. Here it is a week after and my feet and fingers are still sore. Stay away! Plus the nail polish was falling off within five days. Just awful. They should be charging $ 15 for both instead of $ 35.

Don’t argue with your customers!!!
This was my first time here and got an immediate appt. I told the girl I liked my nails short and she told me my nails were all ready short. I started clipping them myself and then she took over. It was poorly done, filed unevenly and very fast. Another women came over to inspect her work and refilled my nails and redid the cuticles. I don’t know if this girl was brand new or just didn’t care. I won’t be going back.

I was lucky to get an immediate appointment on a Saturday afternoon. Ann did a fantastic job on my toes and feet. I might try to make a mani appt with Dominic next time since he gets good reviews. They don’t take credit cards — cash or check only.
