Miyako is not the type of nail tech that will throw a ring of nail colors at you and tell you to…read morepick a color as you wait for the client before you to finish up. She's an artist, a designer, and a true innovator. There hasn't been a single design I've shown her (even the most elaborate Pinterest inspo) that she couldn't pull off and she always manages to elevate it beyond what I imagined. I first came to Miyako in search of a nail artist for my wedding. Leading up to the big day, we experimented with a few different styles I had in mind, and she nailed every single one (pun intended). She also did my Barbie-in-Vegas-themed bachelorette nails, which were absolutely stunning. I felt like a bad b**** every time I walked out of her studio. What truly sets Miyako apart is her meticulous attention to detail. The shape, smoothness, and evenness of the nails are always flawless. Even with just a plain color, my nails would look like they were perfect press on designs. You can tell she's a true creative who deeply cares about her craft. I also really appreciated the one-on-one setting--it's just you and her in a peaceful, distraction-free space, which makes the experience feel that much more special. I'm so sad I moved away from RPV and can't see her regularly anymore--but I'll absolutely be making that 2-hour drive for special occasions. She's that good, and honestly, I haven't found anyone else like her!

Cue NaiLAX - modern, spacious, clean, and inviting interior. I called in yesterday to schedule a mani/pedi for today and they fit me in right when they opened. I was offered a beverage when I walked in and quickly got me situated in a chair. Vinny did my manicure and I wish I got the name of the tech doing my pedicure, but both were really meticulous when it came to shaping and cleaning! I always fear getting cut on my toes, but not a single cut today! Walked out of there feeling like a new person. Super friendly staff and can't wait to come back. Bonus points for whoever curated the playlist because it definitely gave me mid 2000's MySpace music (think Stevie Hoang & George Nozuka) vibes. Wish I had my hands free to Shazam a few tracks. Hahah

They have absolutely no experience in removing hard gel. Literally took 45 minutes to remove, so I…read moreended up not even getting a new set because I was already over it at that point. Mind you, they already had me waiting until 215 when my appointment was at 2. She scraped off my entire nail bed and drowned my nails in acetone, so now they're super weak and painful. Never going back. EDIT based on response: It is not the customer's responsibility to notify the salon of hard gel removal because I assumed everyone at the salon is capable of doing so. If only certain techs are able to do it, then it should be the salon's responsibility to ask the customer when booking the appointment - since it's such a big issue. Been about 1 week and nails are peeling and not healing. Great.

I was interested in finding a nail tech but not actually looking. I ended up going to a Salon Suite…read morefor a hair appointment and Raina's door caught my eye. I saw that she specialized in the kind of nails that I love. As I'm taking a break from doing my nails myself (it's been 20 years lol) , it's been nice going to her! She was fully booked at that time and she was still able to squeeze me in the next week. She takes her time, the quality is amazing, and she has a sweet personality! I showed her my inspo pic and she did more than copy and paste, she made it her own! I went back 2 weeks later for a fill but turns out I didn't even need it. Her quality is so good and the nails last so long (I'm currently on week 3 of my second set from her and I normally only do my nails every 2 weeks) so this time I'll be going back in maybe at my 5 week mark. I am a mom and I'm always busy. With that being said, I have hit my nails more than once and there is no lifting, no damage, no chipping, splitting or anything. They still look good as new and I'm STILL getting compliments on them. I WILL be going back to my new friend Raina & her fur baby Chanel

The good: I got a gift card to here from a family member and…read morewas excited to try Japanese nails. The nail technician/owner was friendly and very gentle. I wanted her to take creative freedom to do what she thought was good for my nails in the budget I had and I love the results. It was easy to setup an appointment by text. I love the shape of my nails! I got the gel manicure ($65) and 4 of my nails have glittery/sparkle flecks that were individually added. There were so many sparkles and glitter options. Mine has an oyster shell appearance and is really fun to look at. The process took 45 minutes but passed so quickly because there was a TV for me to watch Netflix. I ended The bad: It's $8 per nail for an embellishment so it can get pretty pricey. It makes sense with how much meticulous care goes into each nail and how each fleck of gold and glitter was placed. I probably cant get these nails too often due to cost but it was definitely worth pampering myself with some self-care for a special occasion! The interesting: I ended up watching Love is Blind's reunion even though I didn't see any episode from that season. This is the 1st nail salon I've been to with individual private rooms. The room had a side chair as well if you bring someone with you.

I've been going to the Hydrafacial service with Ayumi once a month since December. I finished my…read more3rd one recently. I know it takes around 3-6 sessions to start seeing changes skin texture wise and fine lines wise since they usually are immediate with the glow factor, but my skin has definitely been feeling a lot healthier and taken care of since then. I have my first post facial photo a day or two after treatment from December (pink shirt and fresh fluffy hair) and this week's facial photo which was taken after 1 week from treatment (outdoor exercise sweaty hair ew). The difference from these two is very subtle, but I can definitely see more glow. To be frank, it's almost unnoticeable from these two pictures, but my face feels great. The fact that the glow is still visible after doing a whole mile in the sun and wiping my face with my shirt or my bare hand is impressive. It's like a moisturizer I can't rub off. So dewy! Now, my skin is sensitive, so on my most recent one I unfortunately got a lil pimple by my nose. I had really dry skin coming for the 3rd facial so Ayumi did her best to rehydrate the dull, but my skin juuuust had to act up. The moment I told Ayumi what happened she called me back in to have a quick "soothing" treatment for that pesky lil' pimple and she definitely made sure to address the minor sebum build up issue from the possible irritation that happened. The fact that she even called me in to address it was very thoughtful and I can tell Ayumi is very genuine. I honestly look forward to coming back to her every month. The massage and the hot stones during the facial feel soooo nice. I feel so relaxed every time I come here--especially after long 12 hour work shifts and nursing school clinicals/classes. I hope to come more. Thanks KIREI and Ayumi!!

Thankful for that bc nothing turns me off more when I get my nails done and the tech just nickel and dime you for anything they can to add to my gel manicure.

Nothing fancy inside but it is clean.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Dara! She's been my nail tech for a while now, and…read moreevery single appointment reminds me why I'll never go anywhere else. Not only is she incredibly talented and detail-oriented, but she's also one of the kindest and most flexible people I've met. I've always had really difficult nail beds, and before I found Dara, I could barely get my nails to last more than two to three weeks -- if I was lucky. Since going to her, my nails now last 4-5 weeks easily, and they still look amazing the entire time. She truly knows what she's doing and tailors everything to your nails so they stay strong and beautiful. What I love most is how she helped me grow my real nails when I honestly thought it was impossible. I used to think I'd be stuck with short, weak nails forever, but she completely changed that for me. Now my nails are healthy, long, and exactly how I've always wanted them. Dara is such a gem -- professional, creative, and just genuinely cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone who does incredible work and truly goes above and beyond, I couldn't recommend her enough.

After 6+ years of being in the absolute best hands, moving away and having to leave Dara behind has…read morebeen one of the hardest parts of relocating. She's not just a nail tech--she's a true artist, a perfectionist in the best way, and someone who genuinely cares about her clients. Every single appointment, she brought creativity, precision, and warmth. I always walked out with nails that turned heads and lasted weeks. Beyond the incredible quality of her work, what made her truly special was the connection we built over the years--our chats, the laughter, and her ability to make me feel instantly comfortable and seen. It's rare to find someone so talented and so kind. If you're lucky enough to book with her, treasure it. She's the best in the game, hands down. I miss her already!

Thank you Emma from Lululemon Del Amo Torrance for recommending Tammy…read more I've always been very self conscious of my nails. I inherited my father's genes for nails. They are small and looks like either I bite them or toddler nails, when I've never in my life bite my nails. As a result, I don't like my hands and never get my nails done thinking there's not much to work with to make them "pretty". I decided to treat myself with a fancy mani and Tammy made my nails look so cute. We were initially going to try to add fake nails to my real nails but she picked up my subtle unease and hesitation with them so we decided to forego and not use any fake nails at all. She was super observant which I appreciated. Anyhow, I love the results. I will be back for maintenance in 3 weeks. Nice lady who takes pride in her work. Thank you, Tammy!

I did my research carefully and had a shortlist...VERY short...of nail salons I'm willing to try (and trust) close to home in the South Bay. I live in PV and there's nowhere here I want to go! It was my first experience having my nails done in a small space rented out in a larger salon, and it felt much more personalised, almost like a private space. I don't think I'll ever get a manicure done again in one of those headache-inducing "assembly-line" style nail salons that stink of acrylic primer. I got a custom-mixed colour as close as possible to Chanel's Rouge Noir, nails lacquered like Billie Holiday used to wear...a version of the 1930s manicure with the moons left open, except painted like a V. They came out perfect. At the two and a half week mark they still looked great...I would have let them keep going a bit longer but I broke a thumbnail (that keeps breaking in the same spot for the last few years...such a bummer) down to the quick. I had ZERO issues with these...no lifting or peeling, like can sometimes happen with gel polish. Work is outstanding. Prices are more than fair. Janet's awesome. I'll be back!! TL,DR: I HIGHLY recommend Janet Kong for her TOP QUALITY work, the spotless, comfortable atmosphere of her workspace, and her solicitous, easy manner.
