Kanako is incredibly kind, skilled and attentive to every detail, making sure my nails are always perfect. The shape, the polish, and the unique and creative designs she does to the finishing touches are absolutely flawless -- I've never had my nails look this good before! She takes her time without rushing, and makes sure I am happy every step of the way. The products she uses are high quality, and my manicure has lasted longer than any other I've had before coming here. I get so many compliments everywhere I go. Highly recommend to anyone who wants gorgeous, fun and unique long lasting nails and a truly professional, pampering experience. After 3 plus years of Kanako doing my nails, I can't go anywhere else and each time is better than the last.

Fruit peel soft gel
Blythe B.

As an Asian-American with allergies and an edgy cute aesthetic, I think I've found my perfect salon! I often want slightly odd nail art, and was looking to try the soft gel method for nail health purposes, so I was excited to try Kirei. The quality and service are unmatched, even compared to other places I've tried while living on the east coast and part time in Asia. I'm so excited to try more things with my nails feeling and looking healthy like this, but I absolutely love the soft gel I have right now and will miss it when I replace it later. I wanted to try the fruit peel nail art trend and Aiko totally perfected it. Everyone here is super friendly and nice. Love it!

This was my first time at Salon de Kirei. I found this little gem through Yelp and I couldn't be happier! It was so easy to contact them to book an appointment. I wanted to get my nails done before my honeymoon trip. Once booked, they will ask you if you have a specific design in mind prior to coming in so they can help turn your vision into reality. Keiko was my technician for the day and was amazing! I provided her the inspiration pics and she made my nails look even better. She was so gentle in handling my cuticles and made sure I was happy with the nail length, shape, and polish colors before she started the coats. Other notes: The salon is very clean and welcoming. Gentle music was playing throughout the appointment and seats were comfortable. I am absolutely obsessed with how they turned out and I can't wait to come back next time!

This review is long overdue! I get Japanese gel nails with Keiko, and she's so amazing! My nails always look so pretty after getting them done by her. I love doing designs and she always executes flawlessly. She's so friendly and has a nice, relaxing ambiance! Would highly recommend

Called same day they were kind to make time for me. Took time on my nails and on the details love the quality of my nails thank you will be coming in again.

My new nail and lash salon Mari and Keiko are AMAZING! As many reviews have said Keiko takes her time when removing and applying the gel nails. She has so many color options - ombré, glitter, shell, etc. I usually try to have an idea of what I want before I get there and Keiko customizes and delivers! I always get compliments :) I've been seeing her for about five months now. Generally my nails last about 3ish weeks but I've gone as long as 5 when I wasn't able to come in sooner. Mari also has great attention to detail and works with you for the lash look you're trying to achieve. Sadly I don't have any pictures but TRUST it's turns out beautiful! I've only gone for extensions but will try a lash lift soon! I'm also finding out through other reviews that Mari does the facials! It's been on my to-do so I will def be booking that ASAP. Appointments are easy to schedule with Kanako (book ahead of time!), the salon is super cute and clean, and plenty of parking. If you're looking for lashes or nails - this is your new place too.

Simple but beautiful! We love it! Thank you Keiko San!

Beautiful location with very talented staff. I had my mom go and she came back super happy. She is already planning her next visit with Keiko San. Thank you!!

gel nails
Yukiko S.

Updating my review to say that I still come to KIREI for my nails! I've been coming since 2016 and I get gel nails done once a month. My nails are long and strong, and I get compliments daily. I either use the designs they have as examples for inspiration, or I will take screenshots from cute designs I see on instagram and Kanako will replicate them perfectly for me every time. What I love the most is how carefully she removes my previous set. I have never had to "take a break" and my nails are very strong now because they've been taken care of and protected. This place is by appointment only. You should plan to book in advance. They are SO professional and you will receive one-on-one service in a private room. The salon is modern and super clean. You will receive the most professional, exceptional salon service. They are also upfront with their pricing (don't you hate it when salons don't list their pricing?) My favorite place and pamper me experience once a month. I could not recommend it enough.

Chloe L.

amazing!!! kanako is so sweet and polite, and the whole experience was so relaxing! she helped me pick a natural, cat-eye look and was super quick with it - i'm pretty sure it was only ~50 minutes. the end result is really pretty and not too heavy-looking (which is usually the case w my hooded eyes). will def come back for a facial soon !!! thank you

Cute waiting area
Kristine O.

I am so happy to discover this gem in Torrance. The shop is nicely appointed with private rooms, heated beds, fluffy warm blankets and cute decor. My esthetician, Mari, is amazing. She is very friendly and highly skilled. I have gone to other lash salons and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. I would highly recommend this shop for your lashes!

Christie P.

I am so happy I found this place! Keiko did an amazing job. She took her time and was extremely meticulous. She showed me various options and I was impressed with her technique. Happy to have found my new nail place

Mind you, they already had me waiting until 215 when my appointment was at 2. She scraped off my entire nail bed and drowned my nails in acetone, so now they're super weak and painful. Never going back. EDIT based on response: It is not the customer's responsibility to notify the salon of hard gel removal because I assumed everyone at the salon is capable of doing so. If only certain techs are able to do it, then it should be the salon's responsibility to ask the customer when booking the appointment - since it's such a big issue. Been about 1 week and nails are peeling and not healing. Great.

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!

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.
