Filming Locations: Where is Claws filmed?

Posted by

The dark comedy from TNT, about a group of manicurists women who get involved in a money-laundering business, is back for season 2.

During the 10 first episodes of Claws, they managed to survive in the male world of the criminal mafia.

Claws Location

Some of the members of the cast are Niecy Nash (the owner of the salon), Dean Norris (giving the Breaking Bad touch to the production), Carrie Preston (True Blood), or Jason Antoon (Minority Report).

The show is Set in Palmetto, although most of the filming in Florida was done in and around Sarasota.

Claws was primarily filmed in New Orleans due to the lack of state tax incentives in the Sunshine State:

    4. You will definitely be able to answer my question then. Where is the filming location for She-She’s? It would be the same location they filmed the male strippers.
