Love these! They're a gold foil with a white marbled tip.
Nicolette B.

I've been coming here for years, and Gina is by far the best nail tech I've ever had! She always does the most incredible job, and I ask for so many different types of designs!

We brought our whole wedding party here, and I'm so glad that we did. Sensation Nail Spa did an amazing job on my mani pedi - Perfectly Pinterest-worthy, and accommodated our big group comfortably and with great service. Highly recommend for big groups and wonderful nail art. Thank you!!!

I have been going to this nail spa for years and they never disappoint! Nancy does an excellent job with my nails--very efficient and careful. Also, she is hilarious! The atmosphere of the spa is lovely. The massage chairs and foot baths are extremely relaxing. They have a wide selection of colors of nail polish as well. You'll definitely find what you're looking for.

I don't get my nails done very often but when I have in the past, I have never been particularly impressed by any of the nail salons I've been to. However, Sensation Nail Spa was so great and I was so pleased with the whole experience. First of all, I made an appointment but arrived about 30 minutes early, but they still greeted me and started on my nails right away. I wanted to get something different with a little design and my nail technician was so helpful with helping me pick out colors and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. The entire staff working at this spa was so kind and welcoming. My nails didn't take very long to do and the price was very affordable! If you are ever looking for a good nail spa in Palos Verdes be sure to check out Sensation Nail Spa.

Gina is amazing! She stayed late to fit me in and didn't rush through it at all. She took her time and did a wonderful job! Also, her shop is so clean and safe, plus her entire staff is fully vaccinated!! What else could you want?! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of Yelp.

I didn't take pictures of my nails specifically but here's a peek!

I had a pretty good experience at this nail salon! I really enjoyed my nail tech; she was very kind and genuine and I really got the vibe that she enjoys her job which I love!! I was very happy with my full set of acrylics and the customer service, and was thrilled to hear that they have a 10 day warranty, so if a nail breaks or chips they will fix it for free within those first 10 days. I will say that my nails started breaking the very first week, but I will not blame this salon as I have pretty weak and flimsy nail beds. Thanks again Sensation Nails!

Nancy Nancy Nancy. She just gave me the best acrylic nails I've ever had, no one has ever been able to get it quite right. She is quiet but detailed and did a wonderful job. No complaints, highly recommend her but please don't take all her appointments because I have found my go to nail artist I need her! ;p thanks Nancy!!

They did a wonderful job on my nails! I'm very impressed by them and their hospitality.

They did a wonderful job on my nails! I'm very impressed by them and their hospitality.

Sensation Nail Spa is a the best!! After coming here for the past 4 years I will never go anywhere else. Gina is a true artist, and can do any nail design or style, no matter how complex.everyone is wonderful! I never have a problem setting up an appointment, both nails and feet always look perfect and last for weeks. The place is clean and cozy and the staff are professional and accommodating. Truly a gem on the hill!

Gina was very nice. She did my French tip nails with great precision and was very understanding with my time crunch.

The best nail salon in PV. The prices are perhaps a little higher than typical in the greater South…read moreBay - you can certainly find cheaper in torrance or other areas where there's more competition but this salon is well worth it. I'm a germaphobe and usually can't relax in a nail salon bc I'm watching like a hawk to make sure the tools and practices are hygienic. This place is very clean salon. I can actually relax here and trust them. Most of the ladies here have worked here for many years and are unlike the stereotypical nail salon techs. They're well educated, dress professionally and conservatively, engage in two way conversations with their clients, speak in spa voices. They do not generally talk amongst each other to the exclusion of their clients. Most of them are elegant. They are very detail oriented, focused and clearly conscientious about doing the best job and satisfying their customers. Exceptional & highly recommend!

The technicians did very detailed work. I enjoyed it so much I had my niece and mom come shortly after. Mom got a French pedicure and my niece got her very first ever acrylic nails. She loved them. The bad: I kind of wish there were TVs to watch or some wall art. The walls are sparse. My niece said the tech filed her cuticles a little too closely at times and that it was slightly painful. The interesting: You get a discount if you pay in cash. There's a parking garage you can park in that isn't too far of a walk.

This was actually my…read morefirst time since high school getting a manicure and gel done so I was a bit nervous (for context my previous experience with another salon traumatized me when they buffed my nails aggressively and caused my cuticles to bleed) I recently got engaged so I wanted to explore some options for the eventual bridal look. Emily was SO gentle and explained the entire process to me. She shaped up my nails based on my fingers and nail length, cleaned up my cuticles, and helped me pick out colors that she thought would look good, especially since this was the first of many trials for me. We landed on a pink base with glitter. I know some may consider it basic, but I personally prefer the "less is more" approach. Thank you Emily! Definitely will be back.

Wonderful detailed work, large selection of colors, and great massage chair. Mani pedi was only $25…read moreso I tipped $5 each to the two who transformed my winter hands and feet into presentable paws They won't cut your cuticles unless you want them to (I did), and they were gentle but thorough in getting rid of all the dead calloused skin. Emily worked non-stop on walk ins to the point where she needed to eat lunch at 3pm but apologized for eating! Plenty of parking in back, open everyday except Sunday. You take a chance they will be booked solid if you just walk in since it's a small shop with only 3 total employees, so call ahead.

I've been coming to Verni for almost a year now, and honestly the only reason I even switched was…read morebecause my old spots just weren't the same anymore. My nail guy's work started slipping, and the woman I used to go to for pedicures retired, so I had to find somewhere new. I decided to try this place because I saw a really strong, genuine review -- and I'm big on quality. Plus the outside and inside is super cute and clean!! I'm the type of person who finds a place I trust and sticks with them for years. I'm also very particular, (as you know with everything) Lol especially when it comes to my nails. I've been getting them done since I was 12 with my grandma, so I know exactly what I like. That being said, this place really delivers when it comes to quality -- especially Morgan and Vu. Morgan does my nails and she really listens. She pays attention to the details that matter to me, like getting the polish close to the edge, shaping them exactly how I like, and helping me choose the right colors. But, most of the time I bring my own. :) Vu does my pedicures, he is sooo nice and a sincere person, and I don't even have to say much -- he just knows what he's doing. I always leave feeling super relaxed, and honestly, he gives one of the best massages I've had. Overall, I'm really happy I found this place. Definitely one of those spots where you can tell they care about their work. Another win for me! Cheers to continued business together for the years to come!!

My first time here and I enjoyed my experience. Second time, not so much. Like another reviewer…read morestated, what I asked for on my pedi was overidden by the tech doing my mani who said they'd let me know after seeing my nails. What?? I just asked for my nails to be cut short not anything fancy. This isn't my first rodeo getting a mani pedi in my life. And she wasn't even doing my pedicure. She actually ended up painting my toes though and while I didn't request three coats of polish, she took the liberty of doing so and I didn't notice until she got to the second foot when I noticed how thick the polish was. I told her that next time I only want two coats. She replied that next time I need to tell her but how would I think she'd do three coats when she did only two on my hands? I am a little surprised at her retort. I still tipped generously because I appreciate the intention but not likely to come back.

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!!
