The artist

“A manicure isn’t a service. It’s a ritual of precision and calm.”

Mary founded MONA to practice nail care exactly that way: dry, unhurried, and healthy nails first, with honest advice and never an unnecessary upsell.

“I’ve never gotten a dry manicure before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was wonderful! The attention to detail was apparent, and the whole service felt meticulous, sanitary, and overall elevated in comparison to traditional wet manicures.”

“I will never go to another nail salon for as long as I am in LA, this place is amazing. … The hard gel manicure looks great for a month making them absolutely worth the price.”
