    Absolutely Amazing I almost don't want to write a review because I don't want to share Janet! She's the best. And my nails are too adorable.

    Gel ombré manicure by Janet
    Crystal K.

    Wow just wow! Janet was absolutely lovely to work with-she is a meticulous artist who gave me a gorgeous two color ombré gel manicure today. I'll be back as often as I can. Super clean space, everything is sanitized and or single use, pretty nail colors, and she helped me pick tones that would work with my skin tone in the color family I wanted. She is gentle with the instruments and I was so comfortable in her hands. I asked her to keep my nails healthy and she was a total pro-did the gel soak off in a responsible way without using a drill. Can't wait to go back!

    I don't know why it took me so long to write a review! Janet is the absolute best. You can give her your nail inspo and she will make it happen. Not only that, she will make it last! I can go for a month without seeing her and my nails will still look good (even with the visible nail growth). She's also very nice and easy to talk to. I've been searching awhile for a place to get my nails done and I am sooo glad I went to her!

    Loved my nails so much! Came here after seeing how long my sister's gel polish held up (1+ months!). I loved all the nail designs I saw on her yelp and Instagram pages. Janet is super friendly and can easily chat with you about anything, making the time fly by. She is also very detailed and will give you her opinion on color/design choices. She is located inside the salon, tucked away in a corner that is adorable decorated in all things pink! Best way to set up an appointment is via text message, she is super good about replying back in timely manner. Definitely will be back for more, I already saved some nail designs I want to try in the future!

    I had such a great experience. The location is cute and clean. The prices are extremely affordable for the designs she creates. Janet has great taste when giving recommendations about what designs would look good based on a style I wanted. She's also extremely nice and friendly. She even offered me ice coffee. I would love to come back again

    Gel manicure on natural nails
    Elaine P.

    This was the BEST gel manicure experience EVER!! Janet was very pleasant and welcoming. Her work is very detailed, thorough and artistic. She only works on natural nails, no acrylics. She has samples of gel manicure colors and designs posted on her wall for an easier way to choose. She asked what shape I wanted, colors I like and any designs in mind. I chose a neutral color with a simple design and told her to shape my nails where she thought would be good since my nails were already short. I'll let my photo speak for itself. I am a very satisfied client and will return!!! This is located inside The Cutaway hair salon in PCH in Torrance. She has her own private room.

    I love them! My gel manicure has lasted incredibly well for 3 weeks now! Janet was really nice and took her time making sure they were perfect. She is also very knowledgeable in nail care and how to make your manicure last! I can't wait to go back

    Week 1!
    Connie P.

    Another super late update! The attached photos are my wedding nails when I got them(0 week), then at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks after I got them! They held up so well, even through my international trip! (Between weeks 2 and 3) And I was definitely not nice to them, carrying luggage and on public transportation :)

    Gel manicure with art on accent nail
    Rachel B.

    I love this spot! I also love Janet! It's in the Cutaway Salon on PCH. I moved to California about 10 months ago, and had a nail technician that I'd absolutely loved. I was hesitant to try and find someone to tackle my nails. Janet is so engaging, which is something I loved in a technician. She also wants you to be happy with your final product on your nails. She asks questions if things hurt, are too hot, etc. Her work is fantastic and worth every penny you pay. I absolutely recommend Janet! She's fabulous, and more importantly she knows what she's doing!

    Love the nails Ombre milky white with. A bit of pink
    Minsun C.

    Its inside a hair salon.. First timer, tell the front desk that u r there for nails.. You tell her what you want.. and she does them. Any concerns about nails.. like me.. gel mani never last over 1 week.. i didnt know but i had oily nails.. She told me to scrub my nails with her nail scrub thing.. Super nice Yelp checkin... free design Recommended

    Pink glitter ombre nails!
    Katrine U.

    Janet did my favorite set of nails ever here! I love the pink glitter ombre nails she did for me and she added a jewel too :) The jewel and the nails lasted for such a long time. I highly recommend visiting when you have a chance. She's really nice and her room is nice and personal. I like looking at the samples of nail art work she has on her wall.

    Janeth M.

    First time coming to Janet and it won't be my last. She's very nice easy to talk to and does amazing work. I loved my nails I highly recommend you come to her you won't be disappointed.

    Aimy L.

    I love my nails! Janet was so sweet and helped me get nails that I had in mind. She is really easy to talk to and made the time fly by! excited to come back with new designs to try:)

    In response, Janet asked me to pick 4-5 designs from her IG that I liked so she can create a freestyle design for me on the spot!

    Edit: Here is some updated information after receiving the response below from the owner. It was…read morestated that my service began at 5:45pm. That was around the time when the nail tech walked over to me for the first time to ask if I had chosen a color, not when my feet were in the water or when I was receiving the service, as I stated. She also walked away after the initial contact and returned a couple times, throwing supplies on her cart before proceeding. Regardless of that, my Zelle payment for tip was also confirmed at 6:54pm. So I do want to acknowledge that my time there was about an hour and a half total from my arrival/ appointment time. There was also not a "light residue" of the scrub left, there was literal exfoliating pieces/ beads and cream that I was able to scrape off my leg with my fingernail. There is no need to note my preferences as I will not be going back. If I had known that later appointments were known to be thrown off schedule, I would've just showed up late so I didn't have to wait. There was no update or follow up. While I understand it is the business owners responsibility to ensure all reviews are accurate, the repeated attempt to disprove what I stated was unnecessary when the issue still stands: my appointment time was not honored, i had literal pieces of scrub and gel on my leg, and someone used a cuticle cutter to PULL pieces of my toenail off without asking me. I understand these services are a luxury; I would not come in expecting to be waited on but I do expect basic communication and respect. The service and response were both disappointing.

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!

    Wow I've never seen a bigger nail salon! It doesn't look like much from the outside, it looks like…read moreyour typical small nail salon from the outside in a strip mall. It's HUGE inside. There was probably 40-50 people inside getting their nails done. The lady at the front desk wasn't very friendly. I came for a pedicure with my sister. We tried to get our pedis at the same time and next to each other and our times were a bit staggered. Not too big of a deal. They have lots of color options, regular polish and gel. I got a standard regular polish and it looked great. No massage with the pedi. It definitely feels a bit like a factory because once you're done they immediately want you off the chair so they can start working on the next place. At least they're efficient!

I realize I should have made an appointment, so I take responsibility for that. What I don't like is being told it'll be 20-30 minutes only to end up waiting an hour. I sat there and watched people who came in after I did get full mani/pedi services while I was left wondering if I'd been skipped. I don't think all of them had appointments - I'm not kidding when I say I waited longer than anyone else. Once I got sat down, my service was so rushed. The tech wasn't outright rude, but seemed impatient and annoyed. My hands got snatched up roughly with cuticle trimming and filing being done so quickly that it hurt. It's disappointing to wait and wait only to get a rushed, and honestly a bit sloppy, service. Receptionist lady is also not very friendly. There are many, many nail shops that are better than this and treat paying customers better.

I've visited about four times now, and each trip just reminds me why I don't come back more often: while the men on the team offer fantastic service, the women working there consistently lack warmth, smiles, or basic hospitality the moment you walk through the door. The Good: The guy who did my manicure is amazing--super nice, friendly, and did a great job on my nails. The woman who handled my pedicure was also wonderful, and her work was top-notch. The Not-So-Good: The nail tech doing my design, however, didn't even bother to say hello. Throughout the service, she never asked how I was doing or checked if everything looked okay. My cuticles were left looking really rough, and she skipped the basic courtesy of applying any oil or lotion at the end. In fact, it was so bad that I ultimately asked her to skip the design on my ring fingers because I didn't want to draw any more attention to it. Ironically, my pedicure technician was the one who noticed how dry my hands looked and kindly handed me some oil. To top it off, when the tech finishing my nails was done, she didn't even say thank you. The Verdict: At $130 for a Gel-X set, the baseline expectation is that your cuticles will look presentable and you'll receive basic courtesy. If you go here, hope you get seated with one of the male technicians who actually cares about the client experience!
