    We love Gina and the work she and her team does! My daughter brought her a photo of what she wanted and Gina executed it perfectly!

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

    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!

    Flowers in my nails thanks Gina

    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!

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

    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!!

    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.

    Gorgeous gold design that the Owner did
    April B.

    Another amazing job done! The owner is better with my nails then anyone else. I absolutely LOVE her! She is incredible with designs and can seriously do anything. These nails I have are my all time favorite! I'm obsessed with my newly found nail salon and the women who work there.. especially my lady. I couldn't be happier :)) Updating about my experience. I went in for the second time and they got everything they promised! It was wonderful! Gina did my nails and I have never loved my nails more! She spent time listening to exactly what I wanted. I'm very specific with the shape and color.. any design you want she will do. She is such a perfectionist which is amazing! Everything was done with great care and I know my nails are in the right hands now. Everyone in the spa is very nice and thoughtful. There is nothing at all I can say is negative so far. Its really wonderful! They are very accommodating! I went in with an idea of how I wanted my nails.. I explained my vision and they searched through all their inventory to find what I needed. There was a color and style I wanted that they didn't have,because it had just changed ownership the day before and they had cleaned everything out. But, the new owner promised that he'd get it for the next time I came. I'm going in today so I will post an update about it afterwards. I was pleasantly surprised by how thoughtful and friendly everyone was. They truly try and make your visit the best possible. I'm hoping to make this my new home spa.

    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.

As soon as I walked in a guy greeted me and confirmed my appointment and when I asked to change my service from regular pedicure to gel pedicure he accepted with no issue. My technician was Lily - the sweetest and kind lady who listened to what I wanted and ensured to fulfill my needs of not making the gel too thick. She did ask if I wanted to add on additional service but when I declined there was no pressure and she went on with the service I had initially requested for. The salon was very clean and everyone was kind. The only con I can think of during my experience was that when choosing the color for my gel, I felt a bit pressured as he was standing next to me as if waiting to hurry and pick the color. Other than that, they brought me complimentary drink and was friendly and will definitely be visiting again.

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 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!!
