The service was superb. The quality of products used was impressive, and the vibe was friendly warm Social.

I just had my first mani pedi today with Sveta. She's amazing! So so sweet. The pedi was perfect. My feet haven't looked so nice in a really long time. I got the gel mani, and oh my gosh... it's so pretty. The product she used is obviously high quality. I've finally found a nail salon that I want to go to. All the others feel so impersonal. I'll be booking with Sveta from here on out. read more

A very relaxing place! Service is superb! Michelle is fantastic! Sveta is amazing...can't believe I never tried this place!

My first time getting a pedicure at Michelle's and it was wonderful! Such a peaceful, pleasant setting. Sveta did an amazing job! I will definitely make this my go-to place for manicure and pedicure! read more

Was in the area and Yelp said they were open on a Saturday morning. The sign outside says walk ins welcome. Nobody is in the shop. Nobody answers the phone. Small businesses should be agile enough to update their hours and signage. read more

I had the pleasure of a last minute visit to LA last week and was not able to make my usual nail appointment in Texas. I called Michelle and was fortunate enough she had availability for a fill. I should have taken a before picture... but she was fabulous! A woman of many talents. Thank you, Michelle, for the great talk and beautiful nails. read more

Michelle's Nails & Lashes - Gel Manicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Michelle is the best! She does such a good job with Nails and to SS. I recommend her 100%.

Everyone here pretty much explains everything so I'll just say that this is a top of the line Spa not a nail factory/car wash. Heavenly experience with both manicure and pedi. I've spent 6 months remodeling my home and my hands and feet where showing the lack of maintenance. I lay drywall paint sand etc. I had man hands. They may as well have cut off my hands and feet and screwed on new ones. I feel so refreshed. The stone massage on the legs is to die for. I can't wait to try a facial. Come prepared to relax and budget for an elevated experience. read more

I was looking to get a fill today with a holo nails (or chrome) and called Michelle's and asked if they did them (not all places do!) And she said "of course!" I was lucky because she did have an open time slot I was able to take, next time I will make an appointment though. Her shop is small and wonderful. Ashley is awesome too! I came in and she beetle-chromed (purple/green)my nails! It was an enjoyable experience and I'm super happy with my nails! Bring coins for the meter! read more

Small place and a bit pricey but you can't beat the quality! Cash or check only, so be prepared for that! Also bring coins for metered parking!!! No spa chairs but the pedicure lasts a long time and it very relaxing. Tons of gel colors! Excellent mani! Another thing to keep in mind is that this establishment seems to be operated by English speaking women only, so if you need a translator this may not be the place for you (this is a bit assumptions of me, and you may want to call to confirm this, but I only heard English being spoken while I was there). Note about my photo: I had broken a couple nails (natural nails) and opted not to have all my nails cut to match the broken ones and so my nails are uneven now (BY CHOICE) while I wait for the broken ones to grow back. read more

I LOVE Ashley Torres!! I came here to fix some acrylic monstrosities done elsewhere and Ashley got me all fixed up! I've been coming to her for over a year and she helped me find products that not only withstand all the harsh products, hand washing, and sheer trauma I expose them to (I'm very clumsy...haha) but she's helped me grow my natural nails out to a length I never imagined being able to have. We usually do cute nail art and when I don't know what I want, she always has inspo on hand just for me! She's so thoughtful. Shout out to Ashley Campos, who has done gel fills and pretty nail art for me as well! Expense is relative, of course, but I find the cost is well worth the quality of work you receive here. read more

Michelle has been doing my nails for more than 5 years now and she is always making my nails look amazing! I'm always receiving compliments on my nails. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone that is looking for a clean, friendly, and meticulous nail artist. read more

Finally!!!!! I'm so happy! I used to get my nails done for years. Then I left the corporate world and got into what I love...Flowers and designing. My hands went from perfectly manicured to hideous. They are burned from the clue gun, cut from knives or clippers, poked from wire and rose thorns.. to make the picture uglier... I'm also a nail biter you would think that an adult woman who hands are touching flowers from different parts of the world would keep her hands out of her mouth. Occasionally I would search on line to see if a nail Salon was enticing enough to make me want to invest my time and money. Well the year and day has finally come that I couldn't stand the site of my hands anymore and this time in my search Michelle's popped out to me... so I made an appt and went. When Ashley pulled forms out instead of tips I had to contain myself not to do a happy dance. I haven't seen tips in beyond years. I have an issue as most do - the one with the crooked index finger... she handled my incredibly short nails and put a perfect full set on me. I went for my 1st fill after almost 3 weeks... after 3 wedding set ups & 1 quinceañera with draping I only had 1 broken nail. I Love this shop... I already love Michelle and Ashely. We talk we laugh and getting my nails done is such a great experience again. And I leave happy! Seriously - what more can you ask for... besides a glass of wine read more

Friendly atmosphere. Had a French gel fill and I am disappointed in the fill. Gel did not seal on 2 nails and within 10 days other nails lifted and cracked. I am used to a fill lasting 3-4 weeks with no lifting or cracks. Disappointing! read more

What?!? Nobody has rated Michelle's Nails yet? A travesty! How can this be?! I've been having my nails done since the age of 16. Over the past 24 years I've had acrylics, gel, silk wraps, silk wraps with gel overlay, acrylic pink & whites with gel overlay, my own naturally strong, long, manicured nails...and I've tried out "the best" salons in Dallas, Houston, NY, LA, London, Paris, and SF. In all these many years and several nail technicians later, Michelle is the best. She charges a premium, but she does brilliant work and she will make your hands looks fabulous. She is worth every penny as your nails will be flawless every time. I had quadrillions of compliments from people all over the world asking where I had them done. If I still lived in the Beach Cities of South Bay (versus the East Bay up in the Bay Area), I'd be going to have my nails done by Michelle. She is truly extraordinary and one-of-a-kind. read more

Michelle is fabulous. I wouldn't trust my nails with anyone else. She goes out of her way to accommodate you, and she's always booked for a very good reason. I get compliments from everyone about my nails.... Oh yeah, and Ixta, her resident aesthetician, does an excellent job on my eyebrows. If you're in the South Bay, there's no better option. I know she has clients who drive from all over the place to get their nails done with her. read more

I've no idea what Liz is on about - frankly she sounds like an awful customer to deal with. I've been coming to Michelle to get my nails done for a few months now, and I've always come away happy. Not only is she a fun person to talk to, she does exceptionally good work, and I'm very sad about moving away from the area. I think it will be hard to find someone who cares so passionately about doing a perfect job. When I've been unsure of what color I'd like to go with, Michelle always helped me out with interesting choices - she was willing to try everything, from unusual hues to abstract (and more time consuming) designs. I received a ton of compliments on the looks we tried, because they were all professionally done. This is someone who will definitely take care of your needs. (And the only time my nails started to lift, or actually broke off, is when I put too much stress on them - something that would absolutely shatter a normal nail. My mistake! But I've went for 4 weeks with nails that remained perfectly attached, and I'm a heavy computer user. Her work -lasts-.) read more

ARTIST OF HER CRAFT! After being frustrated with inferior nail salons, I found Michelle on Yelp. Not only is she masterful in the application of the gel polish, her color selection was to DIE FOR! She is knowledgeable and listens to individual needs. One of her technicians specializes in nail art, and there's also an esthetician to wax eyebrows or permanent make-up application. I'm already planning my color schemes through September! Leave your plastic in your wallets, they only take cash or checks-but this is worth an extra stop at an ATM. read more

Very good but not inexpensive. Michelle does work hard to come up with a personalized plan for each of her clients

First off let say I LOVE MICHELLE'S NAILS!!!! I have been going to her for years now and I'm never going to another place!!! she and Mina treat you like your there best friend/sister/family! my nails look so good! all the time and they last!!! I love the fact the color stays bright just like the day you got them done!! she comes up with the best nail designs and she works with you on what you want your nails too look like! she brings your nails designs to life!! she is the best!! I love the shop!! she also makes your nails fit your life style for your everyday life!! not that many place do that!!! she wants your nails to last and work for you!! she is the best!! read more

This is the most relaxing experience in a fabulous atmosphere. Michelle, Mina and Ashley are most professional nail technicians. The mani pedi lasts a long time and looks great. I'm hooked on Michelle's nails. read more

I was just passing through redondo area and decided to get my nails done. I made an appointment with Ashley for a manicure. She did an amazing job on the gel nails. She took her time but was quick and efficient. She helped me customize my nails adding just the right amount of sparkle! We had good conversation and it only took 40 min! Michelle's is independent so each professional has their price. Ashley charges $45 for gel mani. read more

I highly recommend Michelle's Nails!!! I have been getting my nails done by Ashley a couple of years now and she is great. She really takes the time to find the right product to fit your needs. She listens and tailors to your style as well. I like to get gel and I like to sparkle and she knows how to glamorize my nails. I usually have an idea of what I want and she delivers. When I'm not sure what I want, she always comes up with a great suggestion. I get compliments on my nails everywhere I go and that makes me feel good. Michelle's Nails will make you feel good and Ashley 'nails' it every time!!! read more

AMAZING! Michelle gave me the best manicure I have ever had (quite a feat seeing as I get my nails done weekly)! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I had cracks in several of my nails and she fixed them instantly. It was so reasonably priced, I couldn't believe it! She also did custom glitter art on my nails, and it looks FABULOUS! I would go back in a heartbeat and I have already recommended it to my mother who lives close by. Thank you, Michelle! P.s. - I created a Yelp account just so I could give them a shining review!!!! read more

Michelle! Where have you been all my life?! I must say I just love when Michelle does my nails and when Mina does my pedicure. Just love it! First off it's not your "normal" nail factory type experience where you go in, they ask you what you want, you pick a color, and then you have no idea what's going on and what anyone is saying. It's not like that at all. It's more like hanging out at your girlfriend's place, getting your nails done, listening to KOST, and having a lovely relaxing time. Michelle has lots of great ideas and has broken me out a bit of my conservative repetitive side in terms of my nails. I used to always get silk wraps with a light baby pink shade, cappuccino color, or a white French and that was it. Now I've moved onto gel nails which last longer and are much more durable. Also we've done a teal glitter dipped French, light champagne pink glitter French, and many other shades. I just LOVE the bling bling and get TONS of complements on my nails too. Even 4 - 5 weeks later when I desperately need to get them done since my nails have grown out quite a bit I still get complements because they still look great. Now. Pedicure. Let me tell you! I don't get pedicures very often since I figure I can do them myself but my oh my that was until I met Mina. I really need to talk myself out of wanting a pedicure every time I go there because I definitely want one all the time! Her pedicures are not the run of the mill pedicure either. She does a warm scrub, cooling mask, and all sorts of stuff. It's amazing. Also when your feet get really bad (which I embarrassingly enough I did have to get this once) she has this ultra strength crazy take off all the crap from your feet solution. It's crazy amazing and my feet were back to gorgeous after I had been having some feet issues. I just died. I was so amazed. Also, she's super hygienic which I LOVE. Everything she uses is disposable; even the foot file thing! None of this lets wash off the dead skin off of the pumice stone and re-use it on the next client crap. DISPOSABLE. To finish off let's discuss pricing. Don't get me wrong, when I moved to this area I was like WTF? How come everyone either has bad reviews or they are super crazy priced? UGH. Then I got desperate and said ok, I'll give Michelle's Nails a try. $45-50? Shoot me. Well I fell in love. LOL $45-50 and my nails look fabulous and they last 4-5 weeks. Honestly I go every 5 weeks to give my wallet a break and they still hold up! Before I was spending about $30 every 2-3 weeks so I figure it evens out in price anyway and I'm getting something SO MUCH BETTER. It's just a different caliber. Call ahead for appointments. They are always busy! Street parking is available. Don't feed the meter past 6pm. CASH ONLY! And don't forget to tip the lovely ladies! :) read more

I just moved to Redondo from Orange County earlier this year and have been trying to find a good nail salon... started searching on Yelp to assist with my search... I came across Michelle's Nails and found only 10 reviews but they were all 5 star reviews -- so I made an appointment. Prior to arriving I explained to Michelle that I had recently put acrylics on but wasn't interested in keeping them on...she told me she was scheduling me with Ashley who was an expert with that area... and that she would take excellent care of me. I also explained that the nail salon around the corner form her salon had been over cutting my cuticles and damaging the nail beds of both my fingers and toes by scraping harshly with a clipping tool, which resulted in thickening, dried out cuticles and thinning my nails, so I had gone back to Orange County to an excellent nail salon that I used to frequent to have a mani pedi and left with no polish on my toes to allow them to breathe for 1 month and had put acrylics on my fingernails because they were so thin as a temporary fix. My toes were still looking great, from the previous pedicure a month ago and my cuticles were already better just by discontinuing services from the other shop around the corner so I wasn't in that bad of shape when I came in for the mani/ pedi. Michelle's is conveniently located walking distance from my house, so I was hoping that this would become my new salon. Ashley sat me down in a non adjustable office desk style chair that only had one position locked in (not a relaxing spa chair like I am accustomed to) and began working on my feet first... She asked me if I have trouble with ingrown toe nails to which I replied no, never. Without mentioning it, she changed the square shape of my toe nail to round, which I don't understand at all... I only noticed after I left the salon and walked out into the sunlight. The shop is small and isn't well lit at all. While she is doing the foot scrub she asks me what gel nail color I would like for my toes, I said, well, I was considering leaving my nails unpolished for another month to continue allowing them to breathe and get stronger, to which she replies well gel nail-polish will protect the thin nail and last a long time. I then replied, yes, but its still harsh to remove it and I don't want to rely on gel polish to provide strength to the nail or have to go through the lengthy removal process every time I want to change colors on my toes... she said okay, well normal polish is fine too... I said, well.. I'm still leaning toward keeping them unpolished to prevent staining the nail. She said any light color will be fine and will not stain the nail... I said even though the previous salon had thinned my nail so much? Because that's what was happening before - I only ever wear light pinks and taupe's or french on my toes... to which she insisted would not happen now... : / Next she began removing the polish I had on my fingernails over my acrylic nails and then started filing my acrylics down to thin them out, but in the process, lost the integrity of the shape of my nails - then she immediately began prepping my nail for polish, without giving me a manicure! What?! I was there to figure out a plan to discontinue the acrylics, so I wasn't sure what she was doing, but tried to remain patient and trust she knew what she was doing. Next she says pick a color, and gives me several gel nail colors to choose from, so I selected a color similar to my toes... and she begins to paint my nails??? What happened to the manicure portion of this exercise?! And why would anyone need gel on top of acrylic nails?! Obviously she was up-selling the services without disclosing it. The nail shape is now lumpy and bazaar looking and I am beginning to realize she isn't the expert I was told she was... (sigh) and then her next client arrives early - as I mentioned earlier its a very small shop, so I don't want to cause a seen at this point and tell myself to chalk it up to another painful learning experience. I ask how much I owe her and she says $90! Wait... what?!!! I'm sorry, did you Say $90 or $19? She repeated, .. $90! WOW! I said for a regular pedicure and gel nails polish it's $90? !! Yes, she said... $40 for the pedicure (non spa style) and $50 for the gel polish ---so, I reach into my wallet and hand her my credit card at to which she says oh, no... we ONLY accept cash or checks. Ummm... Are you serious?!! WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT IN THE BEGINNING?! She replies, Oh, I thought you knew... I'm a new client - how would I know that? How many people walk around with their checkbook or $100 dollars cash on them these days?! Ugh! Knowing I am a new client, the first thing I think they should have started out with is please be advised we only accept cash or checks. Morale of the story folks is ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU SIT YOUR BUTT IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE CHAIR FOR 90 MINUTES! read more

I love love love Michelle's Nails!!! Michelle does an amazing job with the LCN (light concept nail). She is such a professional, a true artist, and super nice.... and the shop is so convenient and serene. Michelle is often booked for good reason. She is worth the wait!!! Also Ixta is the only one allowed to touch my eyebrows. She is a is also a true artist. I always feel amazing and beautiful leaving the shop. I am so happy to have found these two amazing ladies. I do not go anywhere else!! read more

Great nails!! Ashley was wonderful, took her time & saved my feet!! Will definitely be back!!

Michelle is in my networking group FAN and she joined about 6 years ago, maybe longer anyway I started going to her and I have enjoyed her nail artistry every month since we met. I'm always complimented on my nails and always give her name and address and business card when I have it. She is quick, gentle, patient and does a fantastic job. You will appreciate her care and professionalism. read more

Michelle does the best gels I have ever seen. She has different steps to take to make sure the gels set correctly which no one has ever done for me. I will absolutely be back and would highly recommend her. read more

Michelle's is amazing! I went in just for a quick polish change but I found my new favorite nail salon for when I'm in this area (don't live in Redondo but have family there, so we visit a lot). Michelle did my toe nails for me and truly is a master of her craft, like another reviewer said. She gave me a crash course in taking care of my nails at home between salon treatments and helped me out with a nail that was really messed up from hitting it. I will definitely be back here and will be recommending it to everyone I know in the area! read more

Michelle's nails is excellent! Everyone is very pleasant and they make sure you are comfortable! Ashley is amazing! The first time I came in I was in a rush to get to the airport by 10am and she got me in as a walk-in at 8:30am! Amazing! No other nail salon has these flexible hours! And to top it off she is very creative and gives me beautiful nail designs that are always on trend! They will even mix the gel colors to get a color that is perfect for you! Thank you!! read more

Love this place! They do a great job. Its not your typical salon. Small, quaint and they actually do what you want and described!

I've been a customer for two years now. Ashley takes great of my nails every two weeks. I get many compliments and recommend Michelle's to everyone. The salon is cozy and beautifully decorated. You feel like family when you are here. read more

If you are looking for great experience from a talented staff look no further. I called in a few days prior to my appointment- eager to try the new state-of-the-art LCN gel nails. Not only was Michelle trained in GERMANY to do this (I know, amazing right?), she assured me she was going to take a look at my nails and determine what was best of them. I was impressed already. I have been biting my nails since kindergarten. This has been a source of embarrassment for me for years. I had lost all hope- acrylics were painful and unrealistic for me- and plus they destroyed my nail beds. Most nails places I had gone to in the past would make snarky comments about the condition of my nails, but not Michelle. She immediately got to work. Her kindness and compassion was so comforting for me, she is gentle, patient, and most of all TALENTED. When she finished my nails I couldn't believe the transformation. I now feel so proud to show my nails off to the world. I can wear rings again! In addition, she shaped them beautifully, and the best part is they feel like natural nails. The gel she used is hard as a rock. They are sturdy as can be, unlike acrylics. She explained to me that they bond to the nail without having to grind down your nail bed. Safe to say, I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done. She is a true artist, and I am so happy I decided to give her a try. Worth every penny. read more

I have been having my Nails done by Michelle's Nails in Huntington Beach at OC Spa for approximately 8 years. I have also gone to Michelle's Nails in Redondo Beach & I have been super happy from both locations. My nails are fabulous and the most durable product I have ever found. Michelle is amazing you will love the thinness, design & how special you are treated. read more

OK... Let me just say that Michelle's Nails ROCKS. I get constant compliments on my hands and feet. There is absolutely NO lifting on my acrylic or gels... and she is open to listening to all of my needs. It is frankly a wonderful, symbiotic experience. I drive over 30 miles to see her. To most of my friends they think I am nuts to drive so far.... however I have a few requirements of a great Nail Salon. 1.ABSOLUTE CLEANLINESS. - this place is spotless. You could eat off the floors. 2. ATTENTION TO ME.- since she is the only manicurist ( she just acquired another recently)... She boks her appointments to help her client be taken care of 100%. 3. AT THE END OF THE DAY - i AM NOT SUFFEREING. - this means - I am not going to get an infection from dirty equipment, she will not use CHEAP yellowing product, and I don't have to worry about my nails being over drilled, or my cutilces being destroyed. Even my 'problem' nails are taken care of. I cannot walk into a "run of the mill" nail shop ever again. 20 bucks IS not worth long term nail bed damage. I have expereinced that .....but never with Michelle. I have been going to michelle for nearly 5 years. Even when I had to cut nails out of the budget for a year - she was very supportive and then let me back in my appointment slot. You cannot go wrong by booking with her. What amazes me is that she still takes walk ins! I am her customer for life! Wish she took credit cards =( read more

Mina @ Michelle's Nails is great! Michelle , the owner takes pride in her shop and it shows! She is warm and super friendly. I love love my gel nails! I get compliments everytime I get my nails done.

You feel great and look great when you leave! Once you visit this salon you will not visit anywhere else! I drive from Long Beach to Redondo Beach to get my nails done! That says it all!!!! read more
