Bring the photo. They'll paint it.
A small nail salon in Monrovia where the design gets worked up from whatever inspiration you walk in with, then hand painted. Hard gel, gel-X extensions, pedicures, waxing and facials.
Every set is painted by hand, one nail at a time.
The flowers are built up, not stuck on.
A lot of the sets here carry three dimensional work: petals and shells sculpted in gel, gold beads set into the center, chrome linework drawn on top. It takes longer and it holds its shape.
"Never thought my nails could look like a Pinterest photo! But these are gorgeous."
What you can book.
Hard gel
Built on the natural nail, shaped and cured. One reviewer describes it as slow, careful work rather than a rushed set.
Gel-X extensions
Full extensions fitted to follow the line of your own nail bed rather than sitting up off it.
Custom nail art
Bring inspiration photos. The design gets worked up from them, with changes made as you go.
Pedicures
Standard, deluxe and gel. Reviewers single out how gentle the sessions are.
French tips
On hands and toes, with the line work done by hand.
Waxing and facials
Offered alongside the nail services at the same location.

Customers here name the person who did their nails.
That is unusual, and it is worth saying plainly: across the reviews, four different technicians get thanked by name. Here they are, in their customers' words.
"She runs an amazing business! Efficient, detail oriented, and friendly."
"She paid so much attention to detail, took her time, and my nails turned out absolutely beautiful."
"I asked for a French tip and her line work was so clean and precise!"
"She has the hands of an angel! She did such a wonderful job and helped me pick a lovely nude color too."

"This was my first experience here at the salon and Winnie took a handful of inspo photos I brought in and came up with an amazing design. I got these done for a wedding I'm going to and they're STUNNING. Never thought my nails could look like a Pinterest photo!"
"I hate when gel tips are placed weirdly on your nail bed where they seem to be pointing upwards instead of mimicking your nail bed but Winnie did them perfectly! I asked for a design with a few small modifications and they did them even better than I had expected!"
"I recently moved to Monrovia and was really hesitant to switch nail salons because I had a nail tech I loved where I used to live. I gave Excellent Nails a try and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Winnie made me feel so welcome."
