Damaris M.

I came because of all the good reviews and requested a Gel X set with Amy. I am going on vacation so I wanted to do aura nails, they have plenty of the same style on their Instagram. She was trying but it was not coming out at all like my inspiration photo and she was clearly mad that I didn't like the way it was coming out but I am not going to pay an extra $30 for a design that I did not like. I showed her the inspiration set from the beginning and told her I wanted short Gel X, I wish she would have told me from the beginning she couldn't do it. Instead she gave me attitude for the rest of the set and didn't even clean the airbrush off my skin. Wanted to like this place but unfortunately I will have to look for another salon next time.

Pretty colors

I brought a picture in of some cute 4th of July nails I saw on Instagram and she did the same thing exactly!! Love them

Catherine did an awesome job! I love my nails! First visit and I will definitely be coming back. Builder gel nails.

Nails by Mia

I came on a weekday without an appointment, with a friend, and they were able to fit us in immediately. Mia was amazing at both color selection and recreating my nail inspo picture, and mind you I have short nails. They use new/sterile tools for each client. The staff is incredibly professional and friendly.

Brandie H.

Since I started coming to Mia for a hard gel mani, my nails have grown so fast and they are so strong. Also, the guy that manages the appointment is always so nice and he is respectful especially when I frequently change my appointment dates and times.

My daughter's GelX manicure is out of this world. 10/10 will 100% be coming back. Salon is clean and everyone is friendly!

My mom wound up loving her pedicure!
Kathryn C.

My mom was nervous about getting her first pedicure, but it didn't take long for her to start enjoying it so much that she said she wants to come back to Slay Nails every month! It was nice to have the tv playing a video about Paris to distract us. I was very impressed by how gentle and skilled the woman who took care of my mom's feet was. My mom has a lot going on with her feet, so they needed a lot of work. We were so impressed that we even had her cut/buff her fingernails. Whenever my mother visits, I hope to take her back to Slay!

Love my Halloween nails! They always do a great job and they specialize in high quality nail designs

I love my Halloween nails!! They always do such a great job on my nails and they specialize on nail designs!

Christmas Nails by Jessica
Maverick D.

Christmas-y design for the Holidays. Thank you Jessica for the care and attention to detail and your patience. Absolutely beautiful work. I asked for a modification that they accommodated, the nails on my right hand need to be shorter for my work. But the designs look beautiful and the shape is fantastic. Thank you!!

Jie C.

I've been coming here almost every month for the past year. Great quality, beautiful nails, highly recommended! My daughter loves it,too.

I went in for a manicure the day before my wedding last week as a walk-in. They got me in right away. They were all very professional, friendly and accommodating. I will give them kudos for that. Atmosphere and ambience is giving "big city." They did not soak my hands or deal with my cuticles etc before prepping my nails and adding polish and for the price I paid, I wasn't impressed with the polish job. Because they didn't handle my cuticles first, the outgrowth will show faster and it won't last long looking very nice. Lastly, Be prepared to tip with cash or Venmo.

First off, the cleanliness is top-tier. Everything feels sanitized, organized, and well-maintained, which is something I really pay attention to. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, not rushed or chaotic like a lot of other salons. The technicians are incredibly detail-oriented and take their time. My pedicure always comes out flawless, from the nail shaping to the polish application. No streaks, no rushing, no shortcuts. They actually care about the quality of their work, and it shows. The massages? Easily one of the best parts: perfect pressure and long enough to actually feel relaxing. What really keeps me coming back is how consistent they are. I never have to worry about getting a "bad" service depending on the day. It's always a great experience. If you're looking for a spot that's clean, professional, and delivers beautiful results every time, this is it. Definitely my go-to for pedicures.

She ensures that you are truly satisfied with your service and experience. Cindy is an amazing nail tech and always nails it with my designs. If you want to make an appointment you can text Julie which is convenient since you can send her design requests in advance of your appointment. My natural nails have improved so much even with getting gel x as they listened when I explained that I have sensitive and thin nails so prefer them not be overly drilled on. The salon is very peaceful and Julie and Cindy make me feel welcomed every time I'm there

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.

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.

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!

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.
