After reviewing yelp reviews, while in this area for an activity for my daughter, I tried this nail shop. I haven't had "fake nails" of any type for many years. I wanted natural looking nails but something a little stronger and prettier than my natural nails. After looking at photos we decided on acrylic nails cut short and rounded, with gel polish. I loved the final result! They have lasted 2.5 weeks so far and plan to return here for a fill to keep them a bit longer. read more

Great local nail shop, prices are affordable! I usually come here for a pedicure and eyebrow wax. I've see other people for lashes too.

Removal was very painful. He asked me to leave my fingers in the bowl with acetone in it which hurts my skin and left my skin super dry later on. Nail surface is uneven as well as shape. No gel on the tip of nail to prevent lifting, gel is all over the place, it causing my skin itching and gel has already lifting within a week. It was very unprofessional work I have experienced ever. After top coating, he applied hand lotion on my hands and I checked my nail but it was all wrinkled. So I asked him to fix. He buffed, reapplied coating, still winkle wasn't gone. He didn't wipe my nails even after the buffing but he said " You touch my hand. I have lotion on my hand that's why." Very disappointed. I tipped him more than 20% just because he asked me " what about tip?" at check out. There was nobody else but me and him. I just didn't want any conflict. read more

Good experience. Basic pedicure. Took care of my aching feet with massage too. Polish lasted long time.

Barbie Time! Just a little hole in the wall place, by the post office. First time, my old place was getting way too expensive, husband and wife getting the job done, really nice and only $30, still got a massage and pumice at half the price. Please ignore my ugly toes and my weird sandal tan, just enjoy the color read more

0/10 My gel nail polish started to crack. That has never happened to me and I've been getting my nails done for 10+ years. I wanted to try a new place near my house. Do not go here. The sanitation was not good either. Only one chair worked when I called to book for two appointments, and they did not let me know that. read more

This is the BEST nail place I ever been to! Called on a Friday before NYE, without an appointment, I was down the street, they said come in! Friendly welcoming service, took me right away, began working didn't waste any time. Didn't try to upsell, he suggested I just get a fill. I was in and out in less than 1 hour. Place is clean and so are their tools, I can tell they love what they do. They knew all the customers by name, I love my nails they look so clean. read more

I want to add an updated review because my last review was years ago when they were still located across the street from elco. I am now only reviewing eyelash services because I no longer get any nail services here. A week ago I went to get my eyelashes done. I wanted a somewhat natural but still fuller set. I was very happy with the end results. The last time I got my lashes done (not here, at dtl salon by a hack named Kelly) they fell off in clumps starting the next day! With this set I've only had minor fall out and I know it's because I rub my eyes at night in my sleep. Only the very front ones have fallen to their death but that's fine. Minus one star because I was able to feel the glue for a couple of days and it was a bit scratchy when I closed my eyes. I've included pictures of my lashes one week after having them done. read more

CN Nails & Spa - Fabulous toe nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I've been coming here for the past year and I love the owners! They do everything from eyelash extensions to manicures/ pedicures... etc. There are only 2 of them so I recommend either calling before you go in or going in right when they open because it does sometimes get crowded. I've gotten my eyelash extensions done here before ($75 initial fee, to put on for the first time & $45 for refill) and she does a great job, it's also way cheaper than anywhere I've seen. I also go in mainly for acrylics and a pedi ($20-$35 depending on what you get) The only down side to this nail salon would be that the building seems to be a bit rundown but that hasn't stopped me from coming back. I 10/10 would recommend this salon if you're looking for an affordable price and high quality work. read more

This is my second time going to Nora for eyelash extensions and I'm in love with them! She works efficiently and always does them with the perfect amount of volume for my eyes. She also accepts card payments which is great for people like me who never seem to have any cash on hand anymore. Nora is a very kind lady who does great work so I definitely recommend her if you want beautiful extensions for a great price! read more

Forgot to get manicurists name but he's a perfectionist! Pays great attention to detail & makes sure you are satisfied! Loved the way he took his time and did a better job than some of the busier/nicer/more well known nail spots! Place is a hidden gem for nice nails! -1 Star for the look of the place... but overall super happy!!!!! Definitely agree with other reviews, don't judge it by the looks of it, judge it by the amazing quality of work!!! read more

Nora rushes her work she finished my my new set of individual eyelashes in 25 -30 minutes...all eyelashes came off in a week. I called to explain to her what happened and asked if she can fix or replace them. I even offered to pay half she got extremely nasty with me. She asked for "evidence" i told her i can send pictures and also proff of her doing this job in record breaking time. She then refused the pictures. I went to her 3 different times and 2 of 3 ive been disappointed with her work! I read your response and im not going to remove the review i know for sure you did them way too fast which is why in less than a week they all came off i was indoors the majority of the trip! You need to take more time with each customer! read more

I found this nail shop by accident. I walked in and the shop had NO customers so I was skeptical. I proceeded to get my nails done on a prayer. I was greeted with a smile and small talk from both employees. I got a fill and pedicure in a 35 min span. Talking about fast service. I was pleased with my hands and 80 % of my feet. I wasn't offered callous remover and the stone looked generic so my feet were still rough on the bottom, leaving me to finish the job at home. The aesthetics of the place is sore to the eyes. I'm not sure if they are remodeling. The ceiling drywall is removed and covered with plastic. The furniture is old and very used. This place was a convenience and I can appreciate the in and out instead of my usual 2 hour wait. read more

this is not a hate speech!!!! i had been going to nora since she was located arcoss the street from el co college! referred her many clients! telling a person they are unsanitary has nothinggg to do with having class or their lifestyle, nora!! giving this place one star for many reasons!!! 1. the owner nora is very unsanitary & very rude!! the next time you get your lashes done notice the hawaiian patterned chair cover and pillow. she hasn't washed them since she moved there!!! 2. her lash tools are not clean!! she will literally do your lashes, go to the next person and not even sanitize her tools. 3. she uses too much glue to apply lashes. the lashes are thin and cheap in quality. loves changing her prices on you at the last minute, & oh! she will talk about you to her other clients. this is not a professional establishment, & i will not be back, be aware!! read more

Once a year after a long year of working, standing up and walking I need to treat my feet. This was my first time visiting this nail salon and Nora was very friendly and socialable. I called around 9 am and she took me in right away because she was booked all day. I feel she may have rushed the filing of my feet, but I understand she was the only one working there at the moment and her 9:15 appointment came in. The price was $15 or $16 I forget, but I will definitely go back later this summer. read more

YES BABY YES! They didn't try to up sell me AT ALL! Gorgeously done gel manicure, simple, exactly what I wanted. Kind to her clients, great sense of humor, excellent service. Made me feel relaxed, unlike all the other salons I've been to. Environment is calm and quiet. I can't wait to return for more! read more

This is the only nail salon I've gone back to and I've been to more than a handful. I always get my acrylics done by Nora's husband (I never get his name but he's recognizes me) and he's done the best job I've ever experienced. Nora is also super sweet. The place itself is a fixer upper but I go for my nails, not to get pampered. This will probably be my go to spot from now on~ read more

I really like this place. It looks like crap. But when I tell you they do excellent manicures. They take off all dead skin. Their not afraid to do a manicure. The pedicure the same way. The foot massage puts you in the mood of being at a spa getting a massage. The husband and wife team are very personable. The husband did great and my preference is a woman. I will try the wife next. I think I may found a new shop. Nora the wife so energetic she just hop over to my chair and gave me a very unique design for waiting. By the way charge to use debit or credit read more

CN Nails & Spa - Well manicured with gel polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Looked this nail shop up on Yelp because I was in the area and needed a quick emergency polish change on my toes. I called and asked if they had availability and the lady was very nice over the phone. As soon as I got in I was able to sit down and 10 minuets later I was a happy customer out of the store. My service was very simple so that's the only thing I can base this review off of. The nail shop was clean, everyone had on their mask, the workers worked efficiently, and they offered name brand polish. Pricing is definitely affordable. read more

Was horrible, horrible, horrible!!! How do you do eyelashes without cleaning them off with solutions like other shops do? How you do eyelashes at the speed of sound?? It was as if the building were on fire and she had to "Escape". I asked about her cleaning them off and she replied with the tweezers. I really hope that I do not get an eye infection. Guess you get what you pay for. I pay more at Lashes 101 in Gardena who spends a professional amount of time caring for thei client. Beware of this place. She pulled my eye open when the glue was still wet which caused my eye to burn and she said lay down for 10 minutes. Bad, bad, bad. If this is how clients are treated in such a hurry not sure how ggey are in business. Will have to soeak to my friend who referred me ** NO STARS ** HAD TO PUT 1 TO LEAVE COMMENT !!! read more

I absolutely loved this place! I'm new to California, just moved here from Jersey & I had been on the hunt to find a new nail salon. After many trial & errors at different nail salons I stumbled upon this place & I have nothing but positive things to say about them! It's run by a couple who are both very friendly people. I came in for a full set & they took care of me right away. I was there for about 30-40 mins & I couldn't have left any happier. If you're a student at El Camino & you're on a budget, which every student I know is definitely on a budget lol, this is a great place to get your nails done for a great price. It's right across the street from El Camino. Thank you so much Nora, I love my nails & I enjoyed chatting with you, you were so sweet! See you soon! -Lili read more

Sweet people! The work is not only terrific , but honest as well! I really did love how nice they were here, and the work was really awesome, so I left a $20 tip and a positive review. I got a pedi and mani, although one of my nails broke the day after /: but I did call to let them know and Nora was kind enough to let me know that they can fix it. But then on the second day Two more broke off, I definitely didn't have time to go back at all so I just took all my nails off . I was looking crazy with three stubs on my fingers... regardlesss , I still say they are nice people! ps: I was scratching my leg when my nail broke in front of a customer at work read more

Just moved from the east coast and needed a fill badly but had no idea who to trust. I'm very particular about my nails and was dreading the botch job that inevitably comes during the search for the right nail salon. After reading the reviews on yelp I decided to have my first west coast nail experience be here. Couldn't have been more pleased! I was in love with the previous paint job done on my nails back east and wanted it replicated here. They were so accommodating - the young woman even painting several swatches on her own nails to try and match what I had come in with. After much experimenting and brainstorming we discovered the perfect combination of polishes and my nails look fantastic. This is officially my go-to nail salon in Cali. I couldn't care less about about whether or not the decor is dated. My concern are customer service and quality of work which this place has an abundance of. Fantastic people and flawless work! read more

The husband and wife team is spectacular to say the least!!! The husband did my nails and it turned out great!!! He was very precise. It was as tho he was creating a master piece. The wife did my pedicure, which she did an amazing job. She wasn't afraid touch my feet. The massage was amazing. It's a little whole in the wall but I love it. Cheers to my new nail salon.

I've been going to Nora for 7 years!!! Awesome customer service, and treats her clients very good. I use her for nails, pedi and waxing. She really understands my moods, and what I'm looking for in services. I wear ONLY french tips on my nails, and my nails always look awesome, so much that I'm complimented regularly. I like a little art on my toes, and she is able to gauge what I'm looking for. I'm pretty tame compared to her other customers, but she gets that and puts me at ease. I can't say enough about this shop. I used to live in the area, and when I first moved there I went to 5 shops before finding her, and once I did I couldn't stop. I live in WLA now, but make the trip for the professional treatment every two weeks. read more

I walked in to this nail shop because nobody else was open it been Labor Day It was empty so I was skeptical going in their was only 1 person working but it stared getting busy and the man called his wife to come in so the man doing my gel manicure started rushing I started to get frustrated because my nails looked unfinished nail polish all around my nails he didn't bother cleaning the side and I had stuff inside the bottom of all my nails I left unhappy next time I'll just wait for my regular nail place to open read more

This is one of those nail shops that lives upto the saying "don't judge a book by its cover". for the first time in what seems like forever I have finally found a nail shop that doesn't over charge for amazing quality service.

Such a nice crew of people. Highly recommend . Not the fanciest spot but their prices and service is top notch.

I began going to CN about a year ago now. I love the service that I receive when I go in for my lash appointments. Nora is really sweet & makes my lashes look flawless. Also, the pricing for mink lashes is great. Most lash techs price their lashes beginning at $100 so it feels good knowing I pay less and am still getting a quality set of lashes. I'm now a regular at CN. read more

Checked them out based on the Yelp reviews. PROS: - Cheap ($16 for pedicure, $25 for gel manicure) - Pedicure massage was great! But very very short. - End results look decent NEUTRAL: - They work FAST. I was out of there in probably 35 min for a gel manicure + pedicure. The pedicure massage was extremely short, and there was no manicure massage at all. But if you're pressed for time and just want results, this would be good. CONS: - The guy used a dremel to file down my previous gel nails. He also cut me a few times with the dremel. I think it took about the same amount of time as soaking them in acetone then pushing off the gel with a cuticle pusher or similar tool. Beware if you have brittle or thin nails. - They push hard with the cuticle cutter. - No base layer on the pedicure - No disinfectants anywhere. They didn't clean the foot bowl before or after my pedicure... The last point is worrying. I don't care about a place that's dusty or dated looking, but a place that's unsanitary is not worth the risk. This place is ok if you're on a tight budget and want to look fabulous. But if you can spend a little more I'd go somewhere that at least cleans the pedicure bowl. You get what you pay for. EDIT - Nora contacted me to let me know that the pedicure tub was indeed cleaned before me and since I was the last pedicure of the day, she went to speak to her contractor instead and cleaned everything after closing. read more

I advise people not to go here this lady called Nora is the worst . She put my eyelashes on and the next day the we're falling off . I asked Nora if she can fix it and she said I had yo pay again , she has the worst service ever . And she's a nasty lady Nora !! read more

Great work, and Great character! I came in with my calm newborn to get eyelash extensions. Nora was so wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and she was very caring and sweet to my baby. I am a single mom so I can't always get time to myself so it's nice Not to be looked like as a leopard when I have to bring my baby. I paid $65 for my mink lashes and I tipped her $20 because she went out of her way to care for my baby and calm my worries. I usually tip less but her kindness and customer service was exceptional!! Of course she did a Fabulous job on my lashes!! For commenters who talked about the appearance of the shop. If you want a 5 star look and mostly stuck up employees than this is not the place for you. If you want someone who has good character, good heart, and does Great work then this is your place. The place could easily be transformed with towels all one color maybe royal purple or black. I would use bright colored paint and switch the chairs with patio chairs and colorful cushions from Targets. I would throw in a small water fountain and some beautiful plants and just like magic a few hundred dollars everyone will be raving about how upscale and super cute the place is.However, I could care less, I have an imagination and have seen old hundred year old house go from wear down looking to Super fab with just a coat of paint and small touches. So I am not scared not to be in Burke williams type of spa. Go here for their Great service and the fact you will be giving your money to a good hearted person rather than just another snob or worst a NPD. read more
