Magic Nails

Went there for a gel manicure, no waiting time which was great. They have many colors to choose from. She did a great job with removing my cuticules, I needed a mani very bad my nails grow so fast. However, the nail polish they use is not that great because after 1 week I had 2 small chips on 2 different nails and it did not last as long as other gel manis I had in other salons. The result was beautiful but for 35 $ the gel should last longer. The pregnant lady whi did my nails was the sweetest ever but would not recommend that place if you want a gel manicure.

Went to this spot right after work. Walked in for a fill, $ 20 for a filll! Don’t know about the rest of you but if I would of gone to my regular place it would of been way cheaper. But I wanted it done ASAP and didn’t have time to sit in traffic for an hour to get to usual nail salon. Long story short I guess she did an okay job. However, she did cut me twice with the machine that they use to file the nail down.

Extremely poor service. Maybe I’m just an east coast girl, but the wait time and the quality was far worse than what I’ve experienced in DC.
They’re lucky they have a nice location because otherwise I don’t know how they stay busy.
Tips: walking distance to Venice beach, metered parking and private lot

I went to here to get a manicure and pedicure with my friend. The woman who was doing my pedicure was incredibly rude when I told her that she was hurting me when she was cutting the cuticles on my fingers. Instead of apologizing, she told me that I had «so much» cuticle as if it were my fault. They also don’t tell you that scrubbing your feet is an additional $ 5 until you’ve already sat down and are getting a pedicure. I left pretty unhappy with the job they did but I figured for the price these cheap nail places charge you can’t expect too much.
A few days later one of my fingers began to swell and puss and became extremely sensitive to touch. I was washing and soaking it and using polysporin to keep it clean. Eventually it got so bad I had to go to an urgent care. They had to give me a very painful procedure, cut the finger open, clean out the abcess, give me a shot in the butt of antibiotics, and a weeks worth of oral antibiotics. A week later it still had not gotten better and I needed another shot and another week of antibiotics. Months later the finger is still wonky, and the nail grows weird. I am incredibly nervous to ever get a manicure again. Please nobody go here, the procedure was incredibly expensive, thank goodness I had very comprehensive insurance.
Stay away from this place, clearly they do not clean their instruments, or take care of their clientele.

I went to Magic Nails (511 Washington Blvd, Marina Del Rey CA 90 292) to get a long term nail polish treatment. However, it came off after only 4 days and I paid 30 $. When i went there because of this situation, the woman started to argue with me and she lied and blamed me saying that I removed my nail polish but that is rediculous. She tried to kick me out she grabbed my arm. She was so rude. Never never go to this fucking nail salon. I paid 30 $ for nothing just for this rudeness and she threatened to call the police and she didnt remove my nail polish she just damaged my nails even more!!! This salon is really disgusting! If i had a time, i would go to court but i dont have time in LA thats why i just posted here

Enjoyed the Mani and Pedi today Both the ladies did a wonderful job… coming back here

Was in the area so I decided to get a mani… WASTE of TIME and MONEY!!! Could have done it better myself =(Nail color was uneven and they didn’t even paint to the base of the nail! Save yourself the frustration of a crappy job and go elsewhere!

I went to Magic Nails because I needed something quick and new. I went in and fell in love with the hospitality and atmosphere. I got a gel manicure on my nails and toes and they did them at the same time which was quick and great. I also got a neck massage while I was there and it was great. I felt pampered in half the time it normally takes at some places which was great because I was in a hurry. It was my first time here and I’ll definitely go back again!

Magic Nails is definitely my go-​to nail salon. Megan is the best and my favorite, but everyone is always so sweet and friendly. They treat me well and always do a great job with my nails.

Tried them for waxing, but I broke out yet again. Horrible wax job to boot. No thanks!

This place needs some serious improvement. Do yourself a favor and do not come here unless you want to leave frustrated!
The foot spa was lukewarm, almost cold, followed by a ticklish massage and, at one point, a painful cut by a pumice scrub! After my pedicure, they washed and scrubbed the spa basin splattering suds on my feet which were drying right above it. Talk about unprofessional!
French gel manicure was THE worst ever. Very uneven with little bumps and unfinished areas. I asked the manicurist (Tanya) more than a few times to fill in the whole nail, but she did not understand. The quality was so poor, I ended up asking them to remove the gel nails. I left with NO manicure and nails that felt like sandpaper.

I went into Magic Nails about 15 minutes after they opened, and Tanya started on my nails right away. Very clean and friendly! Reasonable prices and my nails look great. Tanya took her time and made sure they were just as I wanted. Will definitely be going back

I went to this nail salon yesterday on a whim and was very pleased. I’m giving four stars because it lacks that spa vibe, but is still clean and friendly. I had an opi shellac/​gel manicure. They have a lot of colors and gel brands to pick from. Bao did my nails and he is very meticulous, in fact at my last light/​curing session he noticed something on two nails and removed and redid– I didn’t need to inspect or point out because he took so much pride in his work. I will gladly return.

I have always found this place to be very professional and their services excellent. We have been using them for years. Always friendly and welcoming. I recommend them 100% for value and quality of treatments. For both men and women. always a good idea to call ahead to let them know when you want to come in.

I love this place! Great customer service and their work always lasts! Eric is a wizard with Gel manicures and Michelle always rocks my pedicure!

Everytime I have been here it’s always 5 stars! The services are always GREAT! employees are so friendly! I just had another amazing Manicure (:

I usually don’t go to places specially nail salons with less than 4 stars but for some desperate reason I went to this place for a pedicure because it’s right by where I live. Bad idea.
I walked in about less than 10 minutes after they open and it looked like I was the first customer. There was only one lady when I got there and she didn’t seem too happy to see me arrive. She unhappily got me seated and started the water. The rest of them arrived five minutes later. One lady said someone will take care of me in five minutes and it took longer than that.
After all the waiting and a very unwelcoming experience, the lady that did my nails did not do a great job! My nails were unevenly cut and there’s nail polish on my skin/​cuticles. Not a clean job at all. I wanted to pamper myself today but instead received an un pampering experience. Totally regret coming here and will never come back.

Currently getting a pedicure at magic nails. I don’t understand the bad reviews they’ve done a great job, so friendly and I got right in. I also got a 20 min shoulder massage from one of the gentleman that was literally amazing! I’ll be back for that alone seriously! It’s taking longer than most places but I am here to relax so I don’t mind. Also their massage chairs are A+ I highly recommend

I came here about ten minutes after opening on a Monday morning before catching a flight back home. I hadn’t had a pedicure in two months, and was looking forward to relaxing before spending 6 hours on an airplane. I guess the bulk of their technicians were stuck in traffic somewhere, and there was one other person ahead of me getting a manicure. There was a second woman who clearly worked there but must not have been a nail technician because she was doing more basic things like filling the water in the spa and assisting the only nail technician in the salon.
After waiting about 15 minutes, the assistant started removing my old polish, and lazily cutting/​filing my nails before walking away. The edges of my nails were not smooth, visible to me from the pedicure chair. They kept saying the other technicians were stuck in traffic and would arrive soon. My basic $ 35 pedicure came with a 10 minute massage, so she came back with a timer, set it on 10 minutes right next to me, and started the massage process. I found the timer unnecessary, but I guess if you want to be a stickler for time it’s useful. The nail technicians arrived about 5 minutes into my leg massage, at this point I’d been in the salon over half an hour. One of the technicians sat down and restarted the timer to give me a 10 minute massage. I told her five minutes would be enough since I was planning to leave the salon by 11:15 to catch my flight. She tried to push the full 10 minutes, I had to tell her about 3 more times 5 minutes was enough.
When the timer went off, she removed the lotion with warm towels and then started applying polish right away. At no point was a thorough cuticle cutting, cleaning of the nail beds, nail buffing, or any other basic pedicure procedure done. To top it off, she only applied one coat of color before applying the top coat, which I didn’t notice until she was already applying the top coat, and since I was already cutting it close to leaving for the airport, I didn’t even bother asking for the second coat (which is standard in applying polish). When she finished, there was polish on my cuticles and skin, and I had to ask her to remove it after she’d walked away like she was done.
I did not leave Magic Nails with the euphoria one should feel after getting a pedicure. An extremely disappointing experience to say the least.

I have been going to Magic Nails for more than a year, basically since I moved to the Marina. My experience is absolutely positive.
I only get my toes done and they are fantastically done each and every time I come to Magic Nails. I do bring my own polish, base coat and top coat (I’m picky about that stuff) but my nail and cuticles are perfectly cut, shaped and polished each time I walk out of there and I go about 1x a month.
IMO, the service is friendly. They recently (in the past 6 months) upgraded all of the pedicure massage chairs. The chairs were good before but they are simply orgasmic now!
There is adequate parking in the strip mall they are located in, although the spaces are somewhat tight for my crossover /​light SUV.
There is a woman in the shop, I believe her name is Naseem. She does hair and offers other beauty services. I have been going to her to get my eyebrows threaded when I get my toes done and I am VERY happy with her service. I don’t know about the quality of the other services she provides but she is an eyebrow shaping expert as far as I am concerned.
All in all, the place in my personal gem and every time I go there, I leave a happy and more «put-​together» girl with cute toes and happening brows.
