You'd have to be slightly unhinged to drive from Santa Monica to San Pedro just to get your nails done... ...unless you know there's only one person you trust to: 1) create nail art that actually feels like you 2) protect and preserve your natural nails 3) shape them exactly how you want, every single time 4) have endless color options or mix something custom so you leave with exactly what you pictured (or better) 5) deliver the perfect balance of professionalism, cleanliness, and just the right amount of sass I've been seeing Winn for so long it might date back to the MySpace era. 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. read more

I have been going to Winn for about 5 years and have LOVED every minute of it! Recently I went on a personal financial journey and had her removed the gel. And when I tell you my nails held up GREAT! My nails were so strong and healthy it really shocked me that my nails held up after 3 months. Winn is the truth and my nails are proof of that. Do yourself a favor if you want healthy and beautiful nails. read more

Let me tell you! I've been following The Nail Tailor for at least 2years, i couldn't coordinate an appt due to my work schedule.. & i was hesitant about the parking. i finally made an appointment this past Friday 12-15..I was THOROUGHLY impressed. The atmosphere was a VIBE pure relaxation, clean, smelled great, peaceful, music great, & not a typical nail shop with lots of clients . Jules did a FANTASTIC job on my Gel ex fill & pedicure. She took care of my cuticles, which you don't experience in most nail shops these days. This wasn't a nail shop, it's more of a NAIL experience. So glad i finally got in.. i will be back, hopefully making this my Nail home.. Great job Winn read more

Winn Is A Blessing! I am loving my Nails & Pedi! Today was my first appointment with her. I arrived with hard gel extensions from a previous solon. Winn patiently fixed the thick set and educated me on gel extensions, cuticle treatment & her nail technique during my appointment. Though I usually keep my nails simple with a French Tip and nail design on my ring fingers, the "nail restoration" took more time then anticipated, so we agreed on a natural color with the heart design I wanted and I think they are absolutely Beautiful! I Love the Shape & Natural Look outcome of my nails and the Pedi...Her Amazing Pedi was Ahhh Relaxing! I asked for a purple shade. She showed me an Orcid Purple and I went with the first color she suggested. I greatly appreciate her Quality Time she took with me & our conversation. I look forward to being a longtime client. read more

Winn, aka The Nail Tailor, is God's gift to nails. Her pedicures leave my feet feeling and looking fabulous. She also has a heated and vibrating pedi chair that is so relaxing. I splurge and get the cucumber Voesh deluxe spa pedi and it is so worth every penny. It includes a heated mud masque that makes my feet and legs so soft and Winn's massages are heavenly. She even heats the lotion for maximum relaxation. Winn also does amazing gel manicures. No need for acrylics, she keeps my natural nails long, strong, and healthy with gel. She actually cares about my nails and is always doing everything she can to keep them looking their best. With her recommendation of adding Mani Q gel I have been able to grow my nails to lengths I never thought possible. Don't even get me started on her nail art skills, she blows my mind with her art. From hand painting to striping tape to abstract ink art to fades, Winn can do it and she'll do it well. She's also so meticulous with her polish application that my gel never lifts. 10/10, I recommend this place to everyone in the San Pedro area, or even other areas. Winn is worth the drive. read more

Thank you Winn for my amazing manicure. It was my first time visiting the Nail Tailor and I was impressed. The location was easy to find and the ambiance was peaceful. Winn took care of me from start to finish. When I walked in she greeted me with a smile and offered me a bottle water. She then took me to her polish selection which was a nice variety. She then performed my manicure and talked to me about my nail goals. This was a shock to me because I'm accustomed to sitting in a manicurist chair and the service begins. I appreciated her asking me because I want to grow my nails but always opt for short due to my nails always breaking. She also suggested that I didn't cut my nails due to only 2 being broken. She said "lets not sacrifice all the nails for a couple broken nails" She also gave me tips on how to take care of my cuticles which is a problem. I can tell she cares about the healthiness of the nails. She performed a great hand massage and finished with gel polish. What a great experience. I will be a regular at The Nail Tailor. read more

What an incredible experience. Most nail salons are very cookie-cutter in their offerings and attitudes. If they offer great nail care, their creativity is limited. If they offer great design, hand & nail care is neglected. WINNETKA is a creative, caring professional who covers all bases. Today was my first visit & my hands were a wreck. I just completed a move to a new residence, my nails were in SOS mode, and my cuticle were ripped up and dry. Winn took the time to really understand & remedy the state of my hands, not just my nails. She generously utilizes very high quality products. The conversation was smart & engaging. My design is just what I requested (next time I'll let her artistic imagination run wild). I was so impressed that I scheduled standing appointments from now through the summer. If I were you, I'd call her NOW. Slots fill up quickly! And now I know why. Thanks, Winn! read more
