About

MONA Nail Studio is the new name for OK Nail Bar, with the same studio and the same team. It sits in the Palms neighborhood of West LA, a few minutes from Culver City and Mar Vista, and is open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Mary Vorona founded the studio to offer unhurried, dry nail care that keeps the natural nail healthy first. Services use an electric file with fine diamond bits to remove non-living cuticle tissue, so nails are not soaked in water.

Multi-use metal tools are cleaned, disinfected and sterilized in dry-heat sterilizers before each appointment, which the studio describes as medical-grade. The studio calls itself a group of structured gel specialists and says its hard gel overlays are built to last a full four-plus week cycle. At fills, about 80% of the old hard gel is e-filed off rather than removed by acetone soak.

Appointments are secured with a 50% deposit that is applied to the service total and refunded if the booking is cancelled or moved at least 24 hours ahead. Pricing depends on the nail tech booked, with Senior Nail Tech prices higher than Studio Nail Tech prices. Gel removal is included when product is reapplied at the same visit, and clients arriving from another studio in gel or extensions are asked to book a Gel Removal first. Lifts or chips within 7 days of a visit are repaired at no charge.

Puts healthy nails first, offering honest advice and avoiding unnecessary upsells, using dry e-filing rather than water soaks.

The studio is described as calm and designed around precision.
