First off, Vee is the best! She is sweet, friendly, so helpful and does amazing work! I wandered in with an hour for my lunch and she made sure she got me taken care of with enough time to spare to get back to the office with freshly done gorgeous nails. The space is large and gives off the feeling of relaxation and luxury right away. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly the minute you walk in. Will be returning! Thanks so much Vee! read more

Overall 2.5 but bumping to three bc at least the staff members I interacted with were friendly and they have lots of appointment availability. My usual nail spot was fully booked and didn't have availability so I came here because on their menu they offered presto. They have presto for gel color but it's not the thick one that is typically used at Japanese salons - I should've inquired about this when making my appointment. My nail technician Paula was very aggressive with drilling off my existing gel; I had to ask her to slow down several times because my nails were getting hot. She also did not soak my nails at all which I thought was unusual for gel removal. After my gel was completely drilled off she proceeded to apply an acrylic overlay to my nails (a service I didn't ask for) she told me that it was because my nails were "too thin for gel" - this was when I was informed that they don't have the presto gel base coat that is used at my other salon. I asked for simple sheer gel (they don't have sheer presto colors) with white French tip in the deep curve style (pictured below) and it came out really uneven and the sides of my nails were really messy. They also used some off brand top coat and told me they didn't have OPI or presto top coats which is weird considering they charge extra for presto or OPI but do not have all the necessary products to use them for the entirety of the service. In total this cost $57 without tip which I think is reasonable but I would honestly rather pay more to get what I act Other things: They offer 10% off if you pay with cash. They charge $5 for cutting down your existing, in my case natural nails read more

1 STAR -- I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD I would strongly recommend thinking twice before spending your money here. There are plenty of salons where you can receive both quality work and basic respect from the people providing the service. This is, without a doubt, one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a nail salon. The quality of the work was extremely disappointing, and the technicians I dealt with were rude, disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely lacking in customer service. I have been to many nail salons, and this experience stands out for all the wrong reasons. Poor workmanship, zero professionalism, and terrible customer service. Quite honestly, I was shocked by the lack of talent and attention to detail. The work was poorly done and nowhere near the level of quality I would expect from a professional nail salon. When I expressed my concerns, instead of handling the situation professionally and trying to make things right, I was met with an attitude and disrespect. Especially don't ask for Sara she has a very bad attitude and should find a different job not a nail technician. The 19 year old receptionist was rude and disrespectful. I knew you would come back and be even more disrespectful in your reply. You need to understand that when your employees are disrespectful to your clients, there is no sugarcoating it. When you have done wrong a client, just own up to it and don't keep making excuses and the same mistake over and over, and stop replying to my review. read more

Came in to do a gel color change & reshape for my gel x. They took me in right away. The receptionist was very kind and asked right away what I needed. Although, they couldn't do exactly what my inspo pic was. They still did a good job overall & service was friendly. I also ended up adding a pedicure too. The salon was was very spacious and clean & they offer complimentary beverages which I think is really nice. read more

Absolutely best nail bar in Orange County. As a Las Vegas resident, I know fabulous when I see it. Below are just some of the designs that I've had at this nail bar. I recommended this nail bar when my friend Elizabeth got married. We had such a great experience that it's become HER favorite nail bar too. The technicians are very friendly! They can do any design you want, prices are competitive, and they offer discounts if you pay in cash. I make a point to come to 3 thirty 3 nail bar every time I visit Orange County. read more

This nail bar holds a high standard. It is so well maintained and I have always been welcomed and quickly accommodated and have always come out pleased with their craftsmanship, as well as feeling like I've just come out of a spa experience. Besides them having the prettiest Christmas tree I've seen, there is a real unity and respect within the nail technicians towards each other and clients. Specifically, my go to gal is Paula who is the crème de la creme. Her work is exquisite & her sweet nature blesses me each time I come. I should mention that another technician Kim also gives the best foot massage ever! Rave reviews for this place. read more

Dori and Kevin are great!! I've been seeing both consistently at this salon for a long time and have nothing but positive things to say. They both take their time, never rushing, both pay attention to detail and make sure you walk away happy. 10/10 always. read more

I do not recommend you get your nails done here. My unfortunate experience involved mismatching my toes then telling me it was my fault their gels don't match...? Why would I come in for a gel man and ped and want two different vibes? That makes no sense- then the front desk girl is giving me a dirty look paired with a dirt attitude and poor quality customer service. I have given them several tries now- both times the manicurist cut me. This time she filed my nail bed so thin the middle of my nail started BLEEDING. Frosting on the cake is the $100+ bill for mismatched, cut up nails, and crap customer service. Thanks for all that. read more

It's been over 4 years since I've been able to return to 3 thirty 3 in Costa Mesa due to my moving to LA. I've lived in the Porter Ranch area for that time and have yet to find a nail salon that even comes close to the professionalism , talent and amazing people that make 3 Thirty 3 the best at what they do! Today, I called to make an appointment and just gave my name .When I walked in the front desk manager recognized me immediately and that alone tells you how in tune they are to their clients . I was seated in a pedi chair when my nail artist came and recommended what she felt was best for my nails. After a 1/2 hour one of the owners came to my chair and grabbed my arm and said it's sooo good to see you welcome back we are so happy you returned . At that point another nail artist turned to me and said I saw you walk in, but I wasn't sure.. this type of customer care and courtesy is extremely rare and today's day and age! I was so touched that they actually remembered me and of course the nails turned out impeccable and so beautiful. To the entire staff THANK YOU FOR CREATING A SAFE RELAXING ,FAMILIAR, FAMILY BUSINESS FOR YOUR CLIENTS THAT LOVE YOU ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS 3 Thirty 3 . read more

nfortunately, I was very disappointed with my experience at this nail studio. I wasn't happy with how my nails turned out, and the pricing was not communicated clearly. Throughout the appointment, several things were added without anyone explaining that each one would cost extra. I didn't learn about all the upcharges until it was time to pay. I understand that certain designs or services may cost more, but customers should be told the price before anything is added so they can decide whether they want it. I left unhappy with my nails and frustrated by a bill that was higher than I expected. Clear communication and transparent pricing would have made a big difference. I did not check pricing online because I always do almond shape with gel but they did not let me know simple polka dots were an additional $25. Do not recommend read more

I've been coming to Sandy @ 3 Thirty 3 for almost 6 years now. She always does the most beautiful job on my nails and if I'm ever unsure of what to get she picks for me and I've never been disappointed. Before coming here I would dread having to go to nail appointments, but I love my time spent with Sandy! The staff is all so friendly here & their coffee is SO good (they also offer complimentary champagne if you're really looking to treat yourself) read more

Very disappointed with my experience. Would leave 0 stars if I could. I've been a loyal customer for years and have always recommended this salon to friends and family. Today I tried calling starting at 3 PM but only got a busy signal the entire time. I drove 25 minutes and arrived at 5:30 PM, an hour and a half before closing, only to be told they were fully booked and I could come back another day. If the phone had been working or someone had answered to let me know, I would've gone somewhere else instead of wasting my time driving over. I even explained I had been trying to call for hours, but was told it was just an issue with their phone with no real apology or accountability. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning. This was very poor customer service for a long-time customer. read more

The customer service was good. I walked in and they were able to get me in for a classic pedicure and gel manicure. However, that's where the good experience ended. The gentleman doing my pedicure implied that my feet were dry and I should upgrade my pedicure before he even looked or touched my feet, plus the water was cold. During the pedicure he agreed that I didn't have calluses. Every color I picked from the OPI binder they didn't have. It took three attempts to get a color they actually had. The shape of my nails turned out nice but the gel was very lumpy and that was what upset me the most. Either the staff did a poor job or the polish was not good. read more

I've come here a handful of times, they are good at getting you in fast which is nice. I usually get manicures here and have gotten some cute nails. The details are not always precise, every manicure I've gotten has had something wrong like 1-2 misshapened nails, streaky polished, that sort of thing but nothing super major. This last time i got a pedicure (a few days ago) and the woman who did it hurt me more than once while doing it and i now have an infection in one of my big toes. I'm in a lot of pain and can barely walk and will need to go to urgent care today for it. She had an AirPod in and was on the phone during the whole appointment so I'm not sure if she just maybe wasn't paying attention or what but i will not be returning to this nail salon EDIT: i did email the owner as requested in a reply to this review. I sent a photo of my infected toe and gave the information requested on Saturday afternoon. They responded confirming which location i went to and asked if i knew the technicians name (unfortunately i don't). I responded to them and haven't heard anything back. Last correspondence was Saturday 6/20 around 3P, today is Monday 6/22 2P. I didn't expect any refund or anything but an apology would have been nice. read more

I've been coming here every two weeks for over 5 years! Paula does my nails and Kim does my toes. They are such lovely ladies and the entire team at 3 thirty 3 is gracious, fun and kind. Plus the quality of their work is beyond spectacular! I truly love these ladies; it's really a special place. The service and cleanliness is top notch! read more

My go to salon for a simple set! I like coming here for a fill and gel without any special designs. I found that with more complicated designs it doesn't turn out as nice as the inspo pictures I provide. The interior is pretty, staff is friendly, they have a huge color selection, and offer refreshments. Parking can be hard when it's busy. It is a small parking lot for multiple businesses. I try to go during when people are normally working in office to avoid parking issues read more

This nail salon is clean and well-maintained, but it does get busy, so I highly recommend calling ahead for an appointment. I came in with a photo of a design, and they told me they could do it--but clearly, they couldn't. They managed to do the tips, but they couldn't add the line below the tip (see photos) and also tried drawing the line in a different brown. Once I realized they couldn't execute it, I just asked them to make everything the same color and matte to keep it cohesive. I really wish they had just been honest from the start so I could have picked a different design. I always have multiple options ready and would've been fine picking something they could actually do . read more

Sad to say, but we will no longer be coming back here. We called to see if they could get us in in the morning and they said they needed to do 1 o'clock. We arrived for our appointment and finally after waiting 25 minutes I mentioned something and she said we weren't gonna be able to be seen another half an hour. An hour after our appointment! I said why didn't you let us know when we got there that you were running so far behind and she didn't really have a reason. Just they scheduled wrong. The time before when we were there, my massage was supposed to be 15 minutes and it was only 11. I didn't say anything, but I feel like I should have. I asked on the way out if they would do 50% off or anything since it was there error and she said no. Just disappointed, this was our go to place but if you can't acknowledge a mistake, it's not worth my time. For the future, customer service goes a long way this could have been resolved instead of a bad post. read more

My favorite nail salon!! So affordable and many talented nail techs here. Parking is easy to find and the interior is very well decorated. Every time I have friends come to visit, I take them to this nail salon for the 5 star treatment. You're always welcomed with smiles and a complimentary beverage. They have a wide variety of gel color options and lots of services available. I never feel pressured into something more expensive, and they are always happy to provide me the service I request. I trusted them with my engagement, wedding, bachelorette, and honeymoon nails!!! They are also very helpful with same day appointments :) Reception is always friendly and I will continue to come here until it isn't an option. Have been coming here for over a year and this specific location is so amazing. They run a very honest business :) read more

I decided to give them a try since they're are so many fantastic reviews but my visit was subpar at best. I did show up a bit late to my appointment and considering they were extremely busy, I had no issue waiting. Receptionist gave me a 15 min wait time so I thought, "no problem". Once they sat me in a chair, I proceeded to wait another 20 minutes. I was getting so impatient, at that point I could've gone to my regular spot. No one offered me anything to drink so I had to ask. They limit you to 1 glass of champagne but my usual spot does a limit of 2. No snacks which was a bummer. The job was alright. Did everything super quickly. No attention to detail. There was a resin from the gel sticking out of my nail when I left. My massage was also disappointing. Pedicurist only massaged my calves and barely got to the soles.The color palettes were pretty scattered around. Price was cheaper than most and that's why I don't go to places like this. I love my quality assurance over rapid service. Not coming back but can't say I didn't try. read more

Amazing nail salon!! Been coming to this place for a few years now. It's right by the Camp in Costa Mesa, cute salon and clean. They always offer you a beverage (coffee, tea, water, champagne, soda). I've never had a bad experience, everyone is so nice and friendly. I usually go in on Saturday mornings (without an appointment) and they're always kind enough to get me in. They have plenty of colors to choose from and are always updated on the latest trends going around. I usually get poly dip or gel x on my nails and have always left happy!

I walked in for a fill today because I was just next door at the spa for a facial service. I felt my service here was very rushed and there were lots of details missed. My nail tech was kind, but the shape of my nails and the cuticles were left messy with lots of glue and not much detail. It is quite uncomfortable. I was shocked that the full service was $85 before tip. I know there was some design on one nail... but for the quality was outrageous. Won't be returning. read more

3 Thirty 3 Nail Bar - Pink pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Pretty disappointed in my experience here. It was highly recommended on social media and it did not live up to the hype in my opinion for how much you pay. Some of the positives are that it's a clean and well maintained place with friendly nail techs. I appreciated that they unpackaged new or clean tools. They offer a variety of drinks when you sit down. I did like the acrylic flower art another nail tech did for me and I thought my pedicure overall was decent. However, the cons really outweighed the pros. I got cut 4 times from the nail techs doing my nails. That's the most I've ever gotten cut at any salon. My friend who came with me also go cut. I showed a picture of my inspiration nails and while I understand they won't always look exactly like the photo I don't think they were able to achieve the pearl tip nail I was hoping for (inspo photo attached below). I wish when I asked the tech if she could do it she would've just told me she couldn't. However I was also disappointed with the basic French tip painted on initially before adding the pearl. The sides of my nails are sloppy/incomplete. Some of my nails also have bubbles in them so it's not smooth. They left a ton of glue under our nails as well. I wish they paid more attention to detail. read more

I am absolutely heartbroken, furious, and in tears writing this review. I have been a loyal, and very easygoing customer of this salon for over a year, coming here specifically to see Sarah. Today was the absolute last straw. Less than 5 seconds into removing my nails, she used a metal drill bit and cut my skin so deeply that it started bleeding immediately. It hurt so badly that I completely broke down and cried right there in the chair. What makes this completely unacceptable is that this is the THIRD time she has made me bleed. The first two times, she was rushing with the nail file and sliced the pads of my fingers. I was patient and gave her the benefit of the doubt before, but today was the most severe and dangerous incident yet. I walked out feeling traumatized, wronged, and speechless. If you value your safety and want to avoid getting physically hurt, please do not come here. They have completely lost my trust and my business. Here is what happened with Sarah after she hurt me: Before it happened, she seemed really rushed and was speaking Vietnamese to her coworker. After she made me bleed, I told her, "This is the third time you've cut me, and this time is the worst. I'm not coming back, and I'm not paying." She argued back, "You have to pay, this is my job." Then she said, "I can finish cleaning your nails, then you can leave and find someone who won't hurt you." Excuse me? I asked, "Are you kicking me out?" She just said she didn't do it on purpose, said sorry, and claimed I was disrespecting her. I was completely speechless. The manager never came over to check on the situation. I didn't get any discount and paid in full. It's not about the money--I'm just furious about her terrible attitude and the total lack of accountability. read more

I would never return . I came in for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst salon experiences I've ever had. From the moment I sat down, things felt rushed and unprofessional. The nail tech, PAULA, did my gel manicure in 15 minutes, no soak, no prep, just aggressively shaved off my previous polish with a drill. I told her multiple times that it was hurting and burning, but she continued, even after acknowledging that my nails were thin. It felt like she was trying to damage them just to upsell me on gel builder. She didn't fix the shape, even after I asked several times. Instead, she just brushed it off. Then, in the middle of my pedicure, she interrupted to make me pay because she wanted to go home . Mind u , it was 5 pm , while I was still in the chair, with wet toes, no card in hand. I had to hand over my phone for Apple Pay, which didn't even show the total at the time. I later realized they overcharged me $168 for services I didn't agree to. They charged for a gel pedicure (I asked for regular polish), and an extra $5 for "Special Shape " for my Mom's gel builder Manicure while she was keeping the same Almond shape she came in with , this was not communicated with us at all. , When I questioned it, they told me I "should know how nail pricing works." I've never in my life been charged extra for keeping the same shape! When I brought it up to the manager, he showed no concern or apology. I was literally reshaping my own nails with a file during my pedicure because no one else would fix them. They finally voided the first charge and ran my card again for $143 , again, while I was still in the chair, still receiving service, still trying to relax. Johnny kindly reshaped my nails at the end, and Kimberly, did a good job with the pedicure despite all the chaos. But this does not make up for the incredibly rude, painful, and uncomfortable experience overall. I'm still charged for both amounts in my bank account. Being asked to pay mid service, hand over my phone, and tip before anything was even finished was not only unprofessional, it was incredibly disrespectful. I left the salon with sore hands, frustration, and zero desire to return. read more
