What can I say, have been a faithful patron of Gemma for so long I can't even count the number of years., Hands-down (pun intended!) the absolute best. Plus, it's nice to get your nails done and the privacy of a owners salon frequently it's just you and your nail tech and maybe the hairstylist. It's a super chill energy that I need in my stressful day and then Gemma makes me look amazing from my fingers to my toes. TL/dr - the best manicurist in the South Bay read more

I needed my nails done for my wedding so I looked on Yelp and found this place. At first I was a little skeptical because there were so few reviews but when I browsed the reviews all of them were stellar, the photos definitely helped my decision, I could tell that she was detailed and took care with her designs The place is a little hard to find it's located in a little strip mall inside a hair salon, but once you find it it's super cozy. Gemma is super nice and friendly and easy to talk to, she made the time go by fast and I didn't feel bored or awkward. I showed her a picture of the nail design I Wanted and she helped me pick out the color and I liked how she asked how I wanted it but still gave her opinion when I asked her. My nails ended up coming out so cute! I got so many compliments on them on my wedding day :) I don't get my nails done that often but I Will definitely come back again when I Need to get them done again. Thank you Gemma!! read more

Yes I recommend!! I got a gel mani earlier this month. She did a great job. Literally zero complaints. Nail salon is located inside of a hair salon. The salon is very clean and nice, and there's plenty of parking in the lot. Or free street parking nearby. Easy to make an appt- just call or text. Just an FYI- she works alone so you're not able to get a mani/pedi at the same time. read more

Gemma is so sweet & knows what a customer wants! I am a regular comer here and love how she playes with my nails! read more

I got an excellent manicure here. The manicure lasted several weeks since the lady added a top coat at the end. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that she trimmed my cuticles without having me put my hands in a bowl of water. So I think that was too rough on my cuticles. Other than that, my manicure looked very pretty at the end. read more

Ever since I was in elementary school, I've gone to various nail salons with my mom. The reason I stuck with Pinknail ever since my first visit, was not only because of their lovely service but also their wide variety of contemporary design choices. Every visit I make, I request for a new design, and they've always exceeded my expectations. Don't get me wrong, I am a really picky person, and one of the workers, Heidi, jokingly said that I was one of the pickiest, but what can I say? Their amazing talents just makes my expectations go up. Throughout the years of acquaintances​ with the designers, I became close to both Heidi and Gemma, who never failed to provide the best service for me and all the friends I have brought over. Thank You !​ Lastly, the reason I have never posted a review for this place was because I wanted to keep this place a lowkey secret nail salon for my self, but when I saw their review rate down because of one review, I couldn't resist but to post. I probably could say that accumulatively​ I've known these designers for the longest time, and it was devastating to see that they don't have the five stars they deserve. If you are new to this place, please don't let that one review hinder you! Btw, the cover profile photo for their yelp is actually my hand, so you guys could probably tell which designs I have been doing. There is actually a lot more, which I might post in the future. My friends and I are going to get our nails done at this place for prom and various school performances in the near future, and we are so excited! read more

Pinknail - Design done by Heidi. I requested a complicated design, but it turned out better than perfect. All my friends complimented for weeks. - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Can't believe it took me so long to find Gemma. She is meticulous , professional, and really darn good at nails - she knows her stuff. Great selection of colors, clean set up, and really good pricing for the high quality work that is done. It's best to make an appointment- she books up quickly. Two things to know: 1. this set up is inside Wonder Salon (next to some dive bar). 2. No CC for payment- cash or electronic fund app- you'll have to ask her which one she accepts as I only paid in cash. read more

Pinknail - A custom request that never fails. Love Gemma!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Gemma is definitely a hidden gem in the South Bay. I had a regular pedicure by her a few weeks ago, and she was very nice! Before the pedicure, she told me the options and was also very realistic about what each option entailed. I admired the transparency. Coming back in a few months to get a designed manicure for the birthday! read more

This was my first time here and I loved everything about this place. I have been searching for the right nail tech who is up to date with the most modern colors, styles, techniques, and who takes their time with me and who knows what I would like without being annoyed or impatient. I can't thank Gemma enough for taking care of me and her assistant!!! I didn't feel like she was rushing and I felt comfortable!!! Omg I can say so much but she was awesome and I'm glad my research paid off by bringing me to this place!!!!!!!!!!! I have officially booked all of my future appts!!! I have found my happy place when it comes to being pampered every woman deserves a good treatment and you can get one here!!! read more

i'm so amazed by how well my nails are still doing and looking 3 weeks post my manicure !!! i was struggling to find a place that after doing my nails, wouldn't start chipping and lifting from the tip a week later. It's not fun washing my hair when my tips start lifting.. I wash my hands a lot (i have 3 little ones under 4), wash dishes, tons of bath times and randomly using my nails to scrape things off the walls/floors from the kiddos. i'm extremely picky & get annoyed when i visit a highly rated salon & get a crummy experience because i get my hopes up and a week later my gel polish starts lifting ... did i also mention i left the salon without spending $50+ on a simple mani. She is extremely fair priced & so delicate. I can brag about her for hours because she truly deserves all the bragging !! She's one person in her own salon so she's working on your nails the whole time and isn't rushing the visit. Thank you Gemma !!!!! read more

Pinknail - this is 3 weeks since my gel manicure - this was also on my first visit - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Gemma is so polite and nice! My friend and I made an appointment to come in today and she took care of us. She made us feel comfortable and we didn't feel rushed to choose our colors/styles. Her prices are also reasonable as well. The location is in a little plaza inside the Wonder Hair Salon. There is plenty of parking outside the store too which is great. Great spot! read more

I love the new location at Wonder Hair Salon. It is Country Chic and so relaxing. Now let's get to the good stuff, colors galore - gel polish and regular polish. You have metallic, temperature changing, sparkles, fluorescent, matte, you name it she has it. By Appt only - Gel Mani/Pedi and Regular Mani/Pedi by Heidi is amazing and relaxing. She is so friendly attentive. You will not go anywhere else after this place. read more

Tucked in a small shopping center with a dive bar next to it, Gemma works out of The wonder hair salon. Very quick, efficient and has a great variety of colors and gel colors. I really appreciated the time I got to spend getting pampered by her and love how my pedicure turned out. Will be going back again soon. Cash Only. read more

Answer: Only with Gemma at PinkNail in Torrance, which is why I have been a loyal customer for over 10years. No matter if your nail breaks, or you just have a specific design or don't know what you want, Gemma will make you feel so pretty. I highly recommend anyone to book ASAP. read more

What a gem of a location. I see Gemma the manicurist. I followed her from her previous location and have been one of her clients for almost 10 years now. Gemma is so sweet. She is always accommodating to my hectic and often times changjng schedule. As a nurse and business owner myself I appreciate her flexibility. Love how WE create special colors for me. Its really her lol . I'm fair skinned and her color choices always compliment my skin. I get so many compliments on my natural looking and perfectly manicured gel nails. She does the cutest subtle designs but can be fancy if that's your preference. I send all my own clients to her. We all love that we don't have to wait hours to be seen and are in and out in an hour. I have my appointments booked out for the entire year lol. Check her out if you're in the area you won't be disappointed. read more

Gemma, Gemma, and more Gemma is what I need, and have needed, in my nail game life. Ladies/Gents, this woman actually wants to know who you are and what you like. I can go on and on about the wonderful experience I have had, both times, while getting nail services done here. Let me not forget about Heidi, who did a killer job on my pedicure! Her artwork skills are superior, and I have consistently been satisfied with her work! Like I mentioned above, I could go on and on but it still wouldn't do these ladies justice. Now, lets talk price. We all know that nail services can be pricey. But...do we all feel that we would pay top dollar for high quality work/service?! You bet your sweet a$$ we would. That is what you will pay for with Gemma. I can't tell you how many reviews and horror stories I've read from people paying up the wazoo for a bad nail job or getting some type of infection. No fear ladies - Gemma is HERE! Do yourself a favor... Give yourself a treat with these amazing ladies and I promise you won't ever go anywhere else! read more

Pinknail is a hidden gem in the South Bay. The business consist of two talented women that definitely know there way with nails, as you can see from the picture below. This is a cash only business! Pinknail is located inside a hair salon named: wonder hair salon, so do not expect to see a huge sign that reads:Pinknail. They do an awesome job, great customer service and most importantly they never rush their work maybe this is why the outcome is always great! I recommend to call ahead of time instead of being a walk-in because these women have a very busy agenda. The only reason I didn't give Pinknail a 5th start is because during my gel or regular manicures they skip the massage that's traditionally included in other nail spas. Other than that-I love this place! Regular manicure: $15 Gel manicure$ $30, with design $5 Pedicure: $25 read more

I wish I can give more stars!!! So I've been going to the same nailshop for 8 years and recently decided I needed to cut ties & go elsewhere. After reading several reviews I landed here & Gemma's name was ringing bells. I decided to take a chance and I'm glad I did!!! Gemma is AMAZING! She's extremely sweet & hilarious!! I booked my next appointment before even getting out the chair! I think I found my girl!!!! So happy!! read more

Look how great my pedi turned out! I'm so pleased. After an absolutely horrible experience yesterday with trying to get a pedicure at a salon down the block, in which I just walked out because the owner was sooo rude (I mean, I'm not going to pay to be disrespected), my appointment here was such a breath of fresh air!!!! She (Gemma) was ready when I arrived, so sweet and bubbly, in a clean salon and the final product is just so lovely. Thank you! read more

Pinknail - Gel med - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

The nail salon is in a hair salon. There is no signage identifying it as Pinknail. I wasn't told when I made my appointment. I also told them I would try to be there by 1:00. Nail salon appointments aren't usually at an exact time. I had trouble finding the salon due to lack of signage. I arrived 9 minutes late. The woman inside asked in a disdainful manner if she could help me. She knew exactly who I was. The salon was empty, yet she enjoyed telling me I was too late. She admonished me like a child for being late and smiled nastily as she sent me packing. Her attitude was strange. Almost as though she was enjoying canceling my appointment. I left feeling pranked. She wins. I'll never go back and I'll never change this review. Hope it was worth the shade! read more

She is fabulous!! Given the few reviews, I was skeptical of this place, but I was blown away! She is so meticulous and efficient. I wanted a single-color gel mani and pedi. The only con is that she is cash-only, so you need to plan and have cash on hand, but honestly, it's worth it! read more

I'm so happy to have found Pinknail!! Gemma is amazing and I love her work. I've been looking for a salon to get my nails done regularly and I know I've found it here. She has such great attention to detail and she does a great job at catering to your needs. She's has so many colors and can create so many unique designs. Just show her a photo and she can put the same design on your nails. Her gel polish usually last on my nails for about 3 weeks... the only reason I need to get them redone is because my nails have already grown out by that time. She does a great job and she's easy to talk to. I'm definitely coming back. read more
