You'd have to be slightly unhinged to drive from Santa Monica to San Pedro just to get your nails…read moredone... ...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.

She will care for and cultivate your nails into long, healthy, beautiful nails. She swears by Gel X and grants length and grace to nails without using acrylic. Because she is so good at what she does, appointments are booked FAST so if you happen upon an available slot, SNATCH IT! No seriously, snatch it before I do. She is extremely clean and professional. She sets appointments, sends reminders, and she's there on time and ready. I've tried getting my nails done a million places. This is the only place where I know my nails will be beautiful AND healthy. The fact that I get to support a black owned small business is simply icing on the cake.

Thank you Emma from Lululemon Del Amo Torrance for recommending Tammy…read more I've always been very self conscious of my nails. I inherited my father's genes for nails. They are small and looks like either I bite them or toddler nails, when I've never in my life bite my nails. As a result, I don't like my hands and never get my nails done thinking there's not much to work with to make them "pretty". I decided to treat myself with a fancy mani and Tammy made my nails look so cute. We were initially going to try to add fake nails to my real nails but she picked up my subtle unease and hesitation with them so we decided to forego and not use any fake nails at all. She was super observant which I appreciated. Anyhow, I love the results. I will be back for maintenance in 3 weeks. Nice lady who takes pride in her work. Thank you, Tammy!

First off, the cleanliness is top-tier. Everything feels sanitized, organized, and well-maintained, which is something I really pay attention to. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, not rushed or chaotic like a lot of other salons. The technicians are incredibly detail-oriented and take their time. My pedicure always comes out flawless, from the nail shaping to the polish application. No streaks, no rushing, no shortcuts. They actually care about the quality of their work, and it shows. The massages? Easily one of the best parts: perfect pressure and long enough to actually feel relaxing. What really keeps me coming back is how consistent they are. I never have to worry about getting a "bad" service depending on the day. It's always a great experience. If you're looking for a spot that's clean, professional, and delivers beautiful results every time, this is it. Definitely my go-to for pedicures.

Extremely Disappointed - Unprofessional and Rude Behavior…read more I truly thought I had found the perfect hairstylist after seeing Michelle's work online--it looked great, and I felt confident trusting her to help me find a look that suited me. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. I came prepared with a few inspiration photos and expected a collaborative conversation, especially since she claimed to help clients find the right style. Instead, Michelle was incredibly rude and dismissive. She told me she "deals with people like me all the time" and said she felt unsafe--simply because I asked a few questions. She spoke down to me, saying she didn't have time to "educate" me, even though I thought that was part of her job as a professional stylist. She labeled my questions as a "consultation" and implied I was wasting her time, despite me trying to be respectful and clear about needing help. I left feeling shocked, disrespected, and honestly hurt. I felt like she had no intention of helping--just collecting an $80 deposit before treating me poorly. This was a deeply upsetting experience. I would not recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a stylist who is patient, kind, or professional.

No Offense to the owner but this review is about Michelle Zabatta. She was recommended by a friend…read morebecause I was looking for a change in extensions from Weft to something less heavy. So I found Locket Extensions. During our consultation since super nice and sweet. The day of the install came and I loved the way my hair looked at the salon. Once I got home I noticed the top of my head was much fuller than the bottom and asked her if she could move some around. She said fine and scheduled an appt. She cancelled on my 3 times claiming she was having mental health issues. I told her I completely understood. I wanted to fix my hair before my trip to Hawaii. She finally fixed it. When it came time for my first MOVE UP I sat in her chair and as she started going THRU MY HAIR. After a couple of rows she began to complain that I wasn't take care of my extensions. She was like these are so bad that this isn't a MOVE UP this is a complete install. I was like what are you talking about. She then went to blame me for ruining my hair on my vacation. She said" I saw your photos you were all in the water wetting your hair". I was first of all I always avoid wetting my hair in pools or beaches as much as I can. And second of all if I wanted to wet my hair I could. Wetting your hair shouldn't affect the placement. I've been wearing extensions for many years longer than she had been installing extensions. So I know how to take care of them and how to take care of my investment because extensions are not cheap. Besides I go on a lot of vacations and never had a problem with my hair. The way Michelle went of on my that day was on called for. I was completely confused. She talked to my a child I front of the other stylist and their clients. As she did my move up she was doing hard and hurting my head because she was pulling on it. Like I said I have been extensions for years at TEN TEN salon on Wiltshire. So I know it should hurt this much. I asked her please be more gentle. She went on to blame like me. u didn't take care of your hair. She was being aggressive and just simply rude. I felt like I was I. high school. I wish maybe the owner would have stepped in and told her she was being out of line. I was embarrassed and humiliated. I paid for the move up and didn't stay for my root touch up. The whole time she was bitching at me I was already texting a friend to do my roots because there was no way I was allowing her do any more services on me. I paid for the move up and left About 8 hours later she begins sending messages like you only paid for a move up. What I did was a complete install. You either pay me or I'm reporting you to the Sheriffs. I found someone in Los Alamitos. Little did I know she was the founder of Locket Extension. She was so professional . She was appalled at my install. She called her hair stylist over to come and see my extensions. The pics I'm sharing are the ones she took. She told me this install was completely wrong. Click and zoom in on the pictures. About 2 months later I see Michelle at Target San Pedro. And of course causing some drama with poor lil young cashier. She made a whole scene in front of Target called his manger in front of everyone. She was so loud and arrogant. I guess that's just the way she is. Someone in line even told her to stop already and that she was I the wrong and not the cashier. If you love drama then I recommend Michelle Zabata

He took 3 HOURS just to do a simple gel x with only 2 simple flowers, I've never had to wait this long for such a basic design. I went here on Saturday and now it's Sunday and my nails are already coming off! I noticed he didn't file the gel x nails like other salons, and when I mentioned it he just said no that's the old way, we don't need to do that. Well that way is terrible bc I have never in my life have had a gel x nail come off completely let alone in only 1 day. It's only been 24 hours and my nails are coming off! The chairs cloth are also not that sanitary and have old stains and don't clean them or sanitize after a customer has left, just keep that in mind!
