Top Coat Nail Bar

Absolutely amazing experience, they didn’t tear my skin apart like some places do, and really accommodated me wanting to be as gentle as possible to my nails since they are thin. And of course the art was beautiful! My friend and I both came out with dazzling beauties!

I was in Santa Monica for work for two months - a stranger on Reddit suggested this salon because I was asking for good and affordable places for nails while I'm in town (because I figured I couldn't afford LA prices, ha!) I'm so glad I tried this salon, Hahn did a great job both times with my acrylic fill and design (no fake tips, these are natural nails). These averaged about $80 each appointment (and I get the extra design stuff, so it would be cheaper if you just do a basic color). Clean and relaxing atmosphere, I was glad to be able to get my nails done while away from home!

I'm just going to say a few things. Last review was filled with too much emotion. After 4 revisits for a fill because I was happy with them, my last fill with Kofi destroyed my natural nails I came in to get protected. She carved my natural nail out after laying the soft gel down and shaping it. My nails looked nice until 2 days later when my real nails underneath began to chip. I don't live in the area, so I couldn't go back immediately. when I came back I was so unhappy with what I had to deal with I wanted it taken off and my money back. They refused my refund and took the overlay off for no charge. They basically told me it was my fault my nails ended up the way they did for an array of reasons. Fast forward now a month later I have the worst peeling and splitting of my nails and I ha

This place is wonderful because they STICK TO THEIR APPOINTMENTS. With that in mind, when you arrive to your appointment, your appointment starts, you don't have to wait, and you are done by appointment's end time. That also means you have to BOOK NAILS & ARTWORK! I usually book either 2 nail art or French Tip/Ombre. I recommend every as they are all good. If you want a really calm, relaxing nail salon, this is an amazing place. Bonus, because you booked online, you know exactly how much and they never pressure you to spend more because they have other clients and are booked up everyday :-D !!!

I came here a couple times to get my nails done, they are very efficient, friendly, & making appointments is easy. They also did a great job!
