Bellacures - Santa Monica, California

I was pretty disappointed, and this was probably one of the worst regular mani/pedis I've received. For reference, I scheduled this ahead of time.

I came in with naturally long nails and asked for them to stay long, but they have been shaved down to a quarter inch. The nail polish seems to be a bit uneven as well.

I took my four year old with me to get a pedi, and the person working on his was *very* annoyed. My kid is very well behaved, but naturally would flinch when getting his nails filed because it tickled. I'm not sure why they would put someone so impatient and who is annoyed with kids on the kids pedicure....:l

We will just continue to go to Bonlierre!

I used to love this place but the last several pedicures I got were not good at all. The polish was chipping off within a day. They also raised their massage prices to $2 per minute and claimed they sent an email out letting people know. I think they should put a sign. I walked out spending $90 for a mediocre pedicure and a 20 minute massage because the management did not inform me of the raise in price. $2 per minute?!!!
I found a place down the street for a fraction of the price and my pedicure looks shiny and brand new and it's been over a week. Don't waste your money here. The music and Perrier are nice but if you want top work and to not spend a fortune go elsewhere.

Worst manicure of my life! I was so excited to come here after I just got engaged so I could take engagement pics including my hand. I asked my manicurist, Cindy, to just cut a tiny bit or file my nails and keep them the same shape as they were (almond). She cut off all my nails, filed them unevenly- flat square top on some, some rounded, uneven. It was beyond upsetting. They got Tim to fix them and put fake nails on which is crazy I got considering I came in with long nails. When I left, they told me they didn’t charge me for the two fake nails I got. I’d hope you wouldn’t charge me for the nails I would have never needed if it wasn’t for Cindy chopping them off. What’s crazy is- even if I wanted short nails- they weren’t even or remotely ok for that either! So much for my engagement photos and thinking I was going to a high end nail salon.

I'm obsessed with the Dazzle Dry manicure. This polish dries in 5 minutes and usually last about 10 days without damaging my nails like gels. Jazzmyne did a great job. Worth the little bit extra bc it lasts.

Bellcaures is on the pricey side; the area has cheaper nail salons. I came here because I needed an appointment for a pedicure on the same day and always wanted to try their services. I live in the area and always drive past the salon.
One thing that stood out for me that every nail salon should do is the option to tip your nail tech via Venmo. They had a list of their staff with their Venmo barcode right on the counter where you pay. You can pay with cash or with credit cards and then tip your nail tech via Venmo if you don't have some money on you.

The pedicure was excellent. Grace, who did my toes, was very gentle with me. The salon is clean, the chairs are comfy, and the atmosphere is chill and professional. The front desk lady was friendly and helpful.

Very hit or miss based on the manicurist you get. Some are super friendly, some not as much. I’ve had gel manicures that last 3 weeks without a chip, and then some that chip within the first week. Overall though, the vibes are really good here.

Do not get a gel manicure here it! lasted less than a week before starting to chip. You can't pick who you get so it's really a gamble. The lady that did mine cut me twice my pinky still hurts and might be infected. If you want to do anything that's not just a basic paint job they will give you a ton of guff and rush through it. It's a poor value that's rushed I would go to a place that's better quality.

The place is clean and the people are friendly but the quality of the work is ton worth it.

A group of 7 of us came to Bellacures as part of my friend’s bachelorette party. The staff were very accommodating of our large group reservation, including late cancellations, and all of the stylists were very nice and efficient. We all got normal mani / pedi’s and I was happy with how everything turned out!
