What nail services usually cost in Santa Monica.
These are guide ranges, not promises. The numbers below are meant to help you recognize whether a menu feels normal for Santa Monica before add-ons start stacking up.
Removal, added length, French, chrome, art, structured gel work, and Russian manicure technique are the biggest price drivers. If you are still choosing between service categories, compare service types first.

How To Use This
Book the right service, then compare the price.
Classic vs structured
A classic gel manicure is not the same thing as builder gel, hard gel, Gel-X, or a Russian manicure. Make that distinction first.
Pedicure upgrades
Pedicure menus often jump because of gel polish, callus care, paraffin, longer massage time, or smart pedicure add-ons.
Removal fees
If you are arriving with someone else's product still on the nail, assume removal needs to be discussed before you count on the headline price.
