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.

I have been going to Winn for about 5 years and have LOVED every minute of it! Recently I went on a…read morepersonal financial journey and had her removed the gel. And when I tell you my nails held up GREAT! My nails were so strong and healthy it really shocked me that my nails held up after 3 months. Winn is the truth and my nails are proof of that.

Everything was newly renovated from the last time I came and it's truly one of the best nail salons in the area. Nicely lit and everything felt so cozy. I was greeted with smiles and the workers were really nice. I've had a struggle with finding a nail tech who can match the inspiration pics, especially for ombré designs, but my nail tech Henry, nailed it! I brought in a peachy nail design, and they're pretty much identical. I genuinely appreciate the attention to detail, making sure I liked the color choice and placement. I'm in love with my Gel X nails! As for the pedicure, Lina did my nails and she shaped and colored them so nice. The pedicure included a nice leg massage too, which I needed after being on my legs super long for work. This was a very much needed pamper, and their service is top notch. She even offered a complimentary water bottle, which was really kind of her. I'm for sure returning back. :) Thank you again Henry & Lina!

The past two times I've left with only my pedicure finished and it seems today will be the same. Came in at 1pm for my gel man/ped. 1:30 my pedicure starts. Nails techs have finished service and moved on to start new customers, while I'm still sitting here with only my feet being done. The guy in charge finished a pedicure and moved to start a new pedicure, to a women in the back who's having her nails done simultaneously (as I requested) and she came in 30 minutes after I got here. The end of my pedicure was the most epic part, though, using the cuticle cutters she cut into the side of my pinky toe. Like the fluffy pad of my pinky toe. I'm not even sure what she was trying to cut.

Overall, I recommend!

I've come here 7-10 times within the last 2 years. My most recent experience I felt scammed and…read moredisappointed regarding the communication and price point. I brought a friend for my birthday. I called and checked for availability ahead of time. I showed the front desk liaison 3 different designs. I communicated I'd want the least inexpensive one and I don't want nail art on each finger. They assured me the design would range from $35 or less especially since I'm not getting nail art on each finger. This seamed reasonable, but my friend and I left feeling SCAMMED. My friend and I's price both ended up being $110 (not including a tip). Which is outrageous because she got a different design on each finger!! I got chrome/cat eye and 1 or 2 stars on 4 nails total. They kept us past closing time, which is why we did not take the time to argue. Although, even two weeks later I look at my nails every day and I think..... my nails were not worth $110. The stars are smeared and it will never be worth $110. In the past, I've never paid more than $85 at this salon for gel-x (no take off) with a simple design. I even checked online to verify design minimum and maximum price ranges. At most, I should have paid $90. My friend got an acrylic fill with a design and she also feels like she over paid with how inconsistent the line work is and.. IT WAS A FILL. I've recommended lots of friends here in the past, but it seems like they are kind to you so they can secretly increase the price. My friends that ended up going here, shared with me they will not go back because the pricing isn't fair. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're comfortable paying $110 minimum for anything nail related. What would have been better is communicating and itemizing why a design is at a certain price point. From what I see online pricing, I should have paid: $65 new gel-x (no take off) + $15 cat-eye + $10 1-2 stars on 4 fingers = $90 Where did the extra $20 come from??? I get this economy is different now, but I tipped $15 too. If I'm paying $125 for nails, the design should have reflected that. AND JUST TO CLARIFY THE MANAGER'S RESPONSE: NO ONE PAID $99!!!!!!! This response is a representation of their lack of accountability. This was my experience and Yelp allows you voice out about that.

I had also asked for a French tip pedicure ($10 extra) with regular polish & my technician was a little taken aback that I didn't want gel, she then informed me that regular polish would come off within a couple days in a french tip, which I didn't really understand because I always get french tip in regular polish at other places or even do this myself and it has always lasted me weeks even a month if I was pushing it. No base coat was used just polish & top coat & the finish of the nails aren't smooth at all, it still feels like a rough filed nail but the French tip itself was cute. Overall I paid $45 including tip which wasn't what I'd expect to pay for a service that was done in 30min, didn't include a massage & quality of nail finish isn't the best. I thought the technician was super sweet I enjoyed our convo, the other ladies who work there were also welcoming.. my tech did a great job with her technique however there are other places within the same radius that could offer more for the price you pay & do a little better of a job.

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.

I ended The bad: It's $8 per nail for an embellishment so it can get pretty pricey. It makes sense with how much meticulous care goes into each nail and how each fleck of gold and glitter was placed. I probably cant get these nails too often due to cost but it was definitely worth pampering myself with some self-care for a special occasion!
