Gaffey Nails & Spa is on S Gaffey Street in San Pedro and has been at that location since it opened. The salon says its clients come from San Pedro, Rancho Palos Verdes, Wilmington, Harbor City and Lomita.
The menu covers manicures and pedicures in a tiered range: regular, deluxe, signature, organic, crystal jelly, royal hot stone and golden spa. The golden spa option takes the most time of any service on the menu, combining every step in the treatment with the longest massage. Gel polish can be added to any manicure or pedicure for an extra $12.
For enhancements, the salon works in acrylic, builder gel, dip and Gel X, and tap gel and ombre are also offered. Sets can be shaped to almond, coffin, square or short and natural. Nail art includes chrome, French variations, colour designs, florals and fine line detail, all painted by hand. Before a set is started, the salon offers a consultation and recommends a technician based on the client's style.
Fills are available for sets the salon has done, and for sound sets from elsewhere once they have grown out. Sets older than three weeks or with lifting may need a fresh set instead. Removal of acrylic, dip or gel done at another salon is charged separately and should be mentioned at check-in.
Children are welcome for kid's manicures and pedicures for those under 12. A parent or guardian stays in the salon during the appointment, and guests aged 12 and up are booked into adult services. Spa add-ons such as extended massage, scrubs and paraffin can be added to visits and are priced by tier.
The salon says it spends extra time on nail prep at the start of each set to help colour last, and it tells clients which shapes or lengths will hold up with their daily work before starting. It describes its approach as skilled, caring and consistent.
