A New Day Spa

I called and easily booked an appointment for an eyelash perm a few days later in the week that fit my schedule. I have extremely straight eyelashes that will NOT curl no matter what, they basically face downward. I came in and was greeted by my name (on my first visit) and was promptly taken for my appointment.
Helen did an amazing job! After the first process, she was not satisfied with the curl (even though I was) and insisted on touching it up to make my lashes perfect to her standards!
I work at a hair salon and was complemented so many times on how great my lashes look. It’s been about three weeks since my visit and my lashes still look great. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Helen for lash perms.

Getting my guitar finger nail done by Kazumi and also she is very artistic with my wife’s nails. She’s just awesome. Mahalo Kazumi!

APPOINTMENTS ONLY.
Thank you so much for a beautiful job on my eyelashes today, Myu! I am a very satisfied customer with both the procedure and the quality of customer service and will be returning back.
Myu is very meticulous and careful. She’s been doing eyelashes for four years now. She has such a sweet personality, as icing on the cake!
For those looking for this salon, it’s right off 190^th St. and Hawthorne Blvd. in the same plaza as McDonald’s. Once you drive in, the salon is kind of hidden way back in the corner.
From the outside, it looks like it could be a small salon, but oh no, the salon has a long hallway of rooms made specifically for different treatments and procedures like facials, full body spa, eyelash applications, nail stations etc.
The place is decorated nicely. It looks well-​kept and exudes a very serene and calm feeling. Not to mention super clean. I can’t get over how nice and clean the bathroom is. It even has a shower lol.
Yeah, totally planning on treating myself to this place every few months, because I so deserve it, especially after being so stressed from the demands of life.
You should do the same! It’s pretty affordable.

I’ve gotten eyelash perms done with little to no success, since my lashes are straight and hardly hold a curl. My experience was comfortable, quick, and my lashes look amazing. Thank you Helen for being extremely hospitable and for sending me home with samples for my skin.

I have really long, dark and straight lashes. I’ve tried eyelash extensions before but it wasn’t for me. After reading these reviews I’ve decided to try out the eyelash perm by Helen. She’s really nice and made my lashes look gorgeous. Thank you so much.

I have the most incredibly straight eyelashes. They are very long but they stick straight out (so much so that they brush my lenses when I wear sunglasses). And they absolutely refuse to hold a curl. I’ve tried regular curlers, «curling mascaras» and even heated eyelash curlers but nothing ever holds for longer than 30 minutes. Years ago my hair dresser in Virginia recommended I try eye lash perming and I’ve never looked back since. Now that I live in Hermosa, I had to find a new eyelash perm stylist and I am happy to report that I have and they are amazing. In fact, this spa has given me the most beautifully curled lashes I have ever had in my life. I’m on day 3 since the procedure and they are still beautifully curled and lifted (that’s not always the case). I wish I could attach a photo to prove it. I absolutely recommend this place for eyelash perming

Bottom line up front: Really clean office, extremely sweet staff, and reasonable prices. They were able to book a last minute reservation for me. Only negative is that the lashes fell out immediately.
I always give salons a few good tries to make sure their service and products are consistent. What I loved most about this spa is that the staff are very warm and welcoming. Their offices and rooms are clean and they seem pretty organized. I was looking for a local place in Hermosa to get eyelash extensions instead driving all the way to K-​town (traffic…yuck). I was excited to see the employees were Asian because I thought they would be extremely familiar with gluing on extensions naturally for my eyes.
I have to say, they did a great job and made it look natural just the way I wanted it. However, a week into my new extensions, they started falling out! And by week 2.5, completely gone. I went in a second time and told her about the issue, hoping maybe she could use a different glue or increase the amount of glue. But again… eyelashes came out so quickly. The eyelash salon I used to go to in K-​town would last me 1.5 months!
They do a great job aesthetically but unfortunately, their products need an update. And for the amount of money I paid, it definitely isn’t worth it.

Decent price for gel manicure but made 2 2pm appointments today so my kids could get their nails done at the same time and maybe a bad time to go considering it’s their lunch time. 1 daughter done within 20 mins, the 2^nd one had to wait another 20 while 1 manicurist ate her lunch and then the person doing the manicure stopped half way to eat her lunch. Total time at the spa was about an hour and 45 mins when we were told 30 mins max over the phone which has made us late to my daughter’s game.

*****Kimie is no longer working here***** I called for an appointment with her and she has gone to Salon De My.

Great place to get permanent eyelashes done! Mayumi does a beautiful job, very professional and informative about how to take care of them. It’s so relaxing when you’re laying down while she does her magic, that falling asleep is so easy to do. The prices do range, as a first timer, it can cost anywhere from $ 85 (50 lashes per eye) to $ 120 (80 lashes per eye). Then for touch-​ups, for every 2 weeks, $ 45, 3 weeks, $ 55, and 4 weeks, $ 65. So worth the price for thick, natural looking lashes!

If there is zero star that’s what I would rate this place. Walked in and asked if I can get a medi and a pedi. The 2 workers looked at each other and said not today while they were working on another customer. No explanations why, I just walked out. I would not recommend or go there.

If you want to feel relaxed and pampered, have a spa pedicure here. I moved to Torrance from West Los Angeles almost three years ago, and I am so happy I found this spa. I was used to the nail salons up in West Los Angeles, which are very noisy, people are talking loudly on their cellphones, the instruments are not sterilized and they pretty much cater to walk-​in business, which creates some of the chaos. But A New Day Spa is the complete opposite. They are appointment only, which makes the salon very tranquil and serene. I have had several services done here – all done to perfection. I have my spa pedicure done by Kimie, and she is so sweet and very professional. I have had the pleasure of having massages done here, which were heavenly, and my college-​age daughter gets her manicures and pedicures here. She feels pampered like a princess.
The spa pedicure is the ultimate gift to yourself. There is soft zen-​like music in the background, your feet are treated to a lovely soak in a sterile pan with soft rocks at the bottom, your feet are massaged with a wonderful scrub and then warm gel booties are placed on your feet. After about 15 minutes, the booties are taken off and you rinse your feet, and then your legs and feet are massaged with lotion. I am usually reading a magazine at this point, but always have to put it down and close my eyes because I’m too relaxed to read. Kimie does a meticulous job trimming the nails and painting on the polish.
Everything about this spa is first class and, in my opinion, as good as it gets. I have never been to such a wonderful spa. The owner takes great pride in providing the highest level of service to her clients, and makes sure all the instruments are sterilized and pristine.
I can’t think of a more decadent, luxurious way to pamper yourself than to come to this spa.

I am updating my review to 1 star given the harassment of the owner Helen about my previous 4 STAR review. She had contacted me through Unilocal in a very defensive message about the price and the sterilization. And then called me after telling me to change my review.
As I told her, I stand by my review as this was my experience. Other reviewers said that they send out their tools for sterilization. In my experience I did not see where the tools came from but I did see them go into the blue sterilization liquid. I asked Komi how they sterilize and she said they put it in the liquid as I saw.
Regarding the price, other reviewers said it was 32 but they charged me 38. I am not complaining about the price, merely again clarifying that the price has gone up from what previous Unilocalers quoted.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with my review and I think that Kimie is a great manicurist and again I was just clarifying about the sterilization and price based on my experience. I would have been back for an eyelash perm or something if the owner wasn’t so rude. If she contacts me again I will have to report her to Unilocal for harassment. Geez! It was a 4 star review!

They do the best eyelash perms for only $ 35! Call and make an appointment. I’ve been to at least half a dozen establishments for eyelash perms, and this one is the best and most consistent. They’re able to curl my lashes with a very natural curl and it stays like that for about 3 weeks!

Helen is the best !!! I have her do my facials and she is fantastic. I would not have anyone else do my facial. The price is worth the great job she does.

Came for the first time today after hearing great things from other. I had an amazing, relaxing pedicure from Kimie! I’ve had pedicures many times and this would have to be the best. I am coming back next week for a manicure. The spa is decorated beautifully and has a very relaxing, tranquil environment. There is a wide variety of colors from opi and Essie brands. Coming here is worth every penny! Definitely a place to come and get your nails done at!!!

I called on thursday of this week and scheduled appt for sat morning. Received confirmation call on fri. Walked in, no wait and began the eyelash perm. Process took about 1 hour, Helen did the perm. She applied some plastic covers on my eyelids and i couldnt see the rest so I’m not sure… Lol. Results are good, I hope it lasts :) the only con is she had to answer phone several times and walk out the pencil appts on calendar. The spa is nice, clean and technicians seem to know products and recommendations!

I am really not a spa fanatic — I seldom find the time or inclination to get a manicure, pedicure or anything much. Most nail salons are noisy, smell like chemicals and not relaxing. But after reading the glowing reviews here on Unilocal,I decided to give A New Day spa a chance and made an appointment to get the works — facial, eyelash perm and pedicure.
The place is noticeably quiet. Helen gave me an amazing facial and massage. I almost fell asleep. She massaged my face, neck, shoulders and upper back and chest area with finesse. Then she did my eyelash perm, then handed me off to Kimie for my pedicure.
Helen is a relaxation wizard — my skin felt so soft and all the tension left my neck and shoulders. Wonderful. The eyelash perm was good — my first time doing this.
Kimie was so charming and quiet and diligent. My pedi was good and I also felt relaxed during her work.
I highly recommend this place — the ladies are pros, they pay attention to their work, the atmosphere is relaxing and you feel so pampered. The pricing is more than competitive for the care and expertise you get. What more could you ask from a spa?

The BEST!
I was @ a relatives house in Torrance one day when I pulled up the local Unilocal feed & read a bunch a good reviews for A New Day Spa and immediately made the first appointment @ 10 am for the following week.
I have been taking a break from gel manicures and really wanted a high quality regular manicure/​pedicure. I booked an appointment with Kimie and although her specialty is gel nails with art, there was absolutely no up selling. Her own nails were beautiful and unique (done herself). And they had a nice selection of OPI and Essie nail polishes. She made sure to do the manicure first so that it would dry completely and she didn’t trim or cut any cuticles. I honestly don’t like my cuticles touched because they grow back looking worse. My manicure lasted over 7 days (I noticed that she only used regular OPI topcoat) and my pedicure still looks great. She wouldn’t let me leave until my pedicure was completely dry and even sprayed something to freeze the polish so that it would dry completely. I usually have to worry about my kids stepping on my toes after a fresh pedicure, not here: O
This spa is «by appointment» only and the reason is that that they give you full undivided attention. It is quiet and very relaxing and my manicure/​pedicure was done in a private room which also included hot towels and hot stones. My service was only $ 32 plus a $ 8 tip and it lasted almost 2 hours. The only 2 hour manicures and pedicures I ever had this pampering were $ 100… I texted one of my girlfriends immediately to tell her to try this place and this would be the PERFECT place if you wanted to treat a friend, aunt, or someone special: P

I can’t believe I found this place on Unilocal,but yet I see it every time I go through the drive thru at McDonalds!
I made an appointment with Kimie for Saturday at 12 p.m. I understand now why this place is appointment ONLY. Kimie did a fabulous job on my hands and feet and she took 2 hours. I was actually starting to fall asleep because It was so relaxing– I had to read a magazine to stay awake.
I was impressed by the location, the cleanliness, and the professionalism of the staff.
I had a great experience and I felt like they could have charged me an arm and leg for what I got but my mani/​pedi was only $ 32!
I look forward to coming back and trying gel nails, facials, and a massage!
