I've always stuck to the same spot for my nails, but since moving to the South Bay, it's been more…read moreof a commitment to continue going to them. Decided it's time to find a new local spot. Cue NaiLAX - modern, spacious, clean, and inviting interior. I called in yesterday to schedule a mani/pedi for today and they fit me in right when they opened. I was offered a beverage when I walked in and quickly got me situated in a chair. Vinny did my manicure and I wish I got the name of the tech doing my pedicure, but both were really meticulous when it came to shaping and cleaning! I always fear getting cut on my toes, but not a single cut today! Walked out of there feeling like a new person. Super friendly staff and can't wait to come back. Bonus points for whoever curated the playlist because it definitely gave me mid 2000's MySpace music (think Stevie Hoang & George Nozuka) vibes. Wish I had my hands free to Shazam a few tracks. Hahah

Very good nail shop in Torrance. Located off Hawthorne Blvd just Sepulveda. There is construction…read moregoing on at this complex shared with other businesses. Parking is easy in the spots shared with other businesses. I have either called ahead or showed up as a walk in during midweek. There is a receptionist in front and you let her know what you would like done. They offer you either Pepsi, bottled water, or a bottled sangria. I always get water. The salon is spacious and super clean. I don't have a regular tech that I request and open to whoever is available. They do a great job for the most part especially the massages on the feet, calves, hands and arms. I usually get a French pedicure and a regular manicure with just clear polish. I'm a regular and very likely to back in a few weeks! 4 stars cause I like to relax at Nailax!

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!

I've come here twice and have had a positive experience both times. Once with my mother (who also…read moreadored her nails) and once by myself. Ruby is an absolute artist. She's quick, precise, and gentle - truly great at her craft because I've never felt any pain unlike past salons I've been to. As she was finishing my French manicure, another woman was eagerly waiting for her turn to get her nails done by her. We had exchanged some small talk and she told me she's one of Ruby's regulars. She's THAT GOOD! Parking can be a hit or miss since the plaza includes a Vons, small mom & pop shop businesses, and a CVS - so aim to find parking at least 10 mins before your appointment. Also, I've seen mixed reviews about the receptionist. She was nice to me so I'd imagine any negative feelings towards her are from people who are late to their appointments or don't receive straight-forward, no BS comms all that well. Overall, a respectable nail salon with tons of spots and people that know how to hustle.

Been here twice now and not sure that I would return. I got…read morebuilder gel both times and was not happy with how it turned out the second time. It was thick and uneven, and my nails started chipping after a couple of days. I do appreciate how they let you come in within a week of getting your nails done for a free fix, but I definitely felt unwelcome and like a burden for doing so! The front desk lady was not warm and a bit rude to me. Both nail technicians I had here were nice. Their prices here are more expensive than other places. I also left with cured gel on the side of my fingers everywhere and rough looking cuticles. They also did not get the whole nail, which I would expect from a professional nail studio.

This place makes sure the health of my nails stays good! I can't speak on design because I love a simple nail. They have DND, OPI, Apres and more! Best part of this salon is they don't treat it like a factory. They take their time and they're even found on ClassPass!
