I LOVE getting my nails done by Mallory, she is definitely my go to nail artist on the west coast now. She’s kind, meticulous and super talented! The second time I came in to get my nails done I had really bad damage from over use and Mallory was non judgmental and super kind about it; she fixed my nails right up and they look stunning!!! I brought in my own inspo too and she killed it!🔥 I love getting structure gel, and the airbrush art is just too cool to pass up!

I own 3 sets of custom press-on nails and will continue to be a loyal client. I’ve gotten so many compliments on each set. Mallory’s designs are unique and and quality is top notch. They are a lifesaver when I don’t have time to run to the nail salon and especially if I want to add a little oomph to each outfit.

On top of press-ons Mallory also takes on clients for manicures! When she visited NY, she was able to fit me and gave me a fabulous manicure! I’m so thrilled with her work and can’t wait to call on her when I visit LA.

Mal is the absolute best! She brought my eggy nail dreams to life for my birthday. I couldn’t be happier with them! I always get structured nails with Mal using luminary. Mal has a huge selection of non-toxic polish. She is very educational in her process and always listens to what I want to achieve. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your nail health, Mal is your girl. She’s also a fantastic artist so you’ll come out with the cutest nails!

I’ve been looking for the services provided by MKM Nails for quite some time without any luck until I found Mallory at MKM nails. I wanted to find a CLEAN space to have my manicures (I’m really bad at doing my own nails).My nails have special needs- they are thin and brittle and they cannot handle the rough tools used at all of the other salons I had visited in the past. Mallory takes her time to make sure you get the cleanest and most precise manicure. I just love my nails, I can’t tell you enough. I do the dazzle dry manicure. This polish can be removed easily with nail polish remover (no soaking drills etc). It dries very quickly after it is applied so no wait time and it lasts way longer than a traditional manicure without the damage caused by gel polish. If you have sensitized, brittle, thin, delicate, problematic nail beds then Mallory at MKM Nails is a must see. You can easily book online on her website. I promise you will be glad that you booked!

I’m automatically a cooler person with my MKM nails. I’ve gotten so many compliments! Mallory is a true artist creating fresh designs. The whole experience was professional and you can tell the materials are high quality. She's also easy to talk to and to work with on a design. I definitely recommend, even if the secret to my coolness gets out 🙂

Mallory of MKM Nails is extraordinary! She takes her craft seriously — super clean, organized, meticulous, creative. I was all over the place with what I wanted and she helped me land on a design that worked for my nail length and shape. She is very kind but also transparent about what goes into the work that she does. I showed her a number of different pictures — including some tricky designs — and she didn’t flinch. She made me feel like I could have whatever I wanted while also managing expectations on time commitment. You can tell she is very passionate about the work that she does and refuses to skimp on quality. Mallory is truly an ARTIST and offers a level of service and partnership that is unrivaled. She is also extremely fair and transparent with her pricing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’ve ordered now 11 sets from MKM Nails! Her attention to detail on all my design requests is out of this world. I’m obsessed with my sets every single time and I always get a ton of compliments. If you follow her videos correctly you can have these press ons on for over 2 weeks and if you remove them per her instructions you’ll easily wear them over and over again. She’s such a great person to bounce ideas off of and she’ll make your nail art dreams come true. A true magician ✨
