I've been coming here since I moved to the area almost 5yrs ago now. I always book with Frances…read more She does an amazing work, everyone loves her! She makes you feel like home. They offer you champagne, water, etc. & I love that they are so close that I get to walk there. I love convenience. The salon is located in a good area near lots of eateries, so if you're looking to eat after or before your appointment, there's plenty of options. You won't regret your experience here!

I can't speak highly enough about Frances and team here at May Nail Bar…read more I have been a customer since 2021 and have loved coming in for my bi-weekly gel mani/pedi's since calling San Pedro my home. Frances and the team are not only kind and professional, for many of us, they are like family! I am so grateful to have their business in our community.

This is my second time coming at this location, and the appointment process was just as smooth as…read morethe first! Everything was newly renovated from the last time I came and it's truly one of the best nail salons in the area. Nicely lit and everything felt so cozy. I was greeted with smiles and the workers were really nice. I've had a struggle with finding a nail tech who can match the inspiration pics, especially for ombré designs, but my nail tech Henry, nailed it! I brought in a peachy nail design, and they're pretty much identical. I genuinely appreciate the attention to detail, making sure I liked the color choice and placement. I'm in love with my Gel X nails! As for the pedicure, Lina did my nails and she shaped and colored them so nice. The pedicure included a nice leg massage too, which I needed after being on my legs super long for work. This was a very much needed pamper, and their service is top notch. She even offered a complimentary water bottle, which was really kind of her. I'm for sure returning back. :) Thank you again Henry & Lina!

You'd have to be slightly unhinged to drive from Santa Monica to San Pedro just to get your nails…read moredone... ...unless you know there's only one person you trust to: 1) create nail art that actually feels like you 2) protect and preserve your natural nails 3) shape them exactly how you want, every single time 4) have endless color options or mix something custom so you leave with exactly what you pictured (or better) 5) deliver the perfect balance of professionalism, cleanliness, and just the right amount of sass I've been seeing Winn for so long it might date back to the MySpace era. Though we had a break after I moved to the Westside, pure chance put us back in touch and thus began my long distance love affair with being in the #naturalnailgang under Winn's artistry. One of my favorite parts is that it's just me and her. No crowded salon, no noise, no bad music. Just one-on-one time where I'm not rushed and she can focus on every detail. My nails are a big part of my identity. Anytime I've tried to go somewhere closer out of convenience, it's ended in at least one broken nail and a lot of regret. At this point, I don't experiment. I go to The Nail Tailor for the best nails in San Pedro and beyond.

The past two times I've left with only my pedicure finished and it seems today will be the same. Came in at 1pm for my gel man/ped. 1:30 my pedicure starts. Nails techs have finished service and moved on to start new customers, while I'm still sitting here with only my feet being done. The guy in charge finished a pedicure and moved to start a new pedicure, to a women in the back who's having her nails done simultaneously (as I requested) and she came in 30 minutes after I got here. The end of my pedicure was the most epic part, though, using the cuticle cutters she cut into the side of my pinky toe. Like the fluffy pad of my pinky toe. I'm not even sure what she was trying to cut.

Let me tell you! I've been following The Nail Tailor for at least 2years, I couldn't coordinate an…read moreappt due to my work schedule & I was hesitant about the parking. I finally made an appointment this past Friday 12-15. I was THOROUGHLY impressed. The atmosphere was a VIBE pure relaxation, clean, smelled great, peaceful, music great, & not a typical nail shop with lots of clients. Jules did a FANTASTIC job on my Gel ex fill & pedicure. She took care of my cuticles, which you don't experience in most nail shops these days. This wasn't a nail shop, it's more of a NAIL experience. So glad I finally got in. I will be back, hopefully making this my Nail home. Great job Winn!! Update! I'm now on my 3rd visit/set (2024- Valentines)

As a customer of VT nails for give or take 30 years. All I can say is that I've never been…read moredisappointed with the outcome of my nails. Kelly's work is excellent. I've never gone to another nail shop let alone another nail tech. I receive so many compliments on my nails where ever I go. Even when she's extremely busy she figures out a way to give me an appointment when I need one. I seriously don't know what I would do or where else to go if she ever retires. The shop is always clean.

The color and cut were exactly what I wanted. I've included before and after photos to show the transformation. I'm very particular about who I trust with my hair due to past experiences where too much length was taken off or the color didn't turn out as expected. My hair was much longer and really just needed a clean-up, and Thuy listened carefully and was very respectful of my length. She was kind, gentle, and incredibly precise. I felt completely comfortable in her chair and will absolutely be coming back.

When I asked about it, the response felt defensive rather than helpful. Why would the total be more than what is listed on the menu and why get mad when I ask about it? Never got an answer...just a bad attitude from the man who seemed to be the owner. Didn't want to argue. I hope the extra money you charge with no explanation makes you feel a little better. I will never go back

Wendy, Susan, and Mi are the best!

I got my wedding nails here and they were beautiful (acrylic hand nails). I loved them!…read more However, last time I came Susan wasn't available for my pedicure and I let someone else do it and that was a mistake. The lady scrubbed too much skin of my big toe and left it almost raw tot he touch for the next couple of weeks. I'm back again today and Susan is off on Sunday's and Monday's now. So I decided to give someone else (not the lady from last time) a try and she was a bit rough and massage was very light not really a massage. She also kept trying to upgrade me to the next pedicure option when I told her what I wanted 3 times. Then after the massage she asked if I wanted longer for $10 dollars, but it wasn't that good to begin with so I said no thank you. She then went to dig underneath my mail pretty far, while I appreciate the thorough work, she went too deep and hurt me a couple times and then laughed when I told her to stop. I think it's the language barrier. Other times I've come and I've had a much better experience, I guess it depends on who you choose to do your pedicure and manicure/acrylics. Susan is great for pedi and mani and Wendy and Lisa are great for Acrylics, if you're thinking of stopping by or making an appointment ask for them. They are generally nice and have mukbangs or food vlogs playing in the background which I appreciate as a foodie. Pro tip: Wendy does excellent eyebrow wax!
