It was my first time here in many years and it definitely had opened up larger and had updated inside. It's a large, lovely salon. I called last minute and they were able to get me in. I did have to wait but I was fine with that. I browsed the stores next-door. The place is nice, clean and everybody's friendly. I only had a pedicure this time, but I will be back again soon. read more

Do not book here. My boyfriend surprised me with a Valentine's gift to get my nails done, and the experience was beyond disappointing. We originally booked for 4:00 PM and were rescheduled to 4:30 PM, which we thought was odd but didn't question. When we arrived, things only got worse. I had seen their Instagram and was excited because it looked like they did detailed designs. However, I was immediately told they don't actually do designs only stickers. That was already disappointing, but I decided to move forward anyway thinking at least the nails would still turn out cute. Unfortunately, they did not. The nail tech didn't even start on me until 5:30 PM and was clearly rushing the entire process because she wanted to go home. She didn't follow the design I showed her (a chocolate chip mint theme). Instead of recreating the look, she slapped on a silver sticker, skipped the bow and other details completely, and just repeated the same basic design on multiple nails. On top of that, she placed my pointed nail crooked. When I politely corrected her, she had the audacity to blame me, saying my finger was crooked and it wasn't her fault. My finger is not crooked, and I've had my nails done many times before without any issue. That was extremely unprofessional. The worst part? She cut me badly enough that I was bleeding on the way home. To make it even more upsetting, they charged my boyfriend $60 and claimed my nails were "X-large" when they were medium length. Rushed service, misleading advertising, poor design work, unprofessional attitude, and I left bleeding. Save your money and go somewhere else. Never again. read more

My first time at this salon in a while. I got a gel-x manicure with Cindy and it was one of the best gel-x manicures I have had in a long time. My nails came out exactly like I wanted and I couldn't be happier! Definitely recommend. read more

Highly recommend this nail salon! I have been going to A-List Nails for a long time now, and I can honestly say they never disappoint.

I usually book with Cindy, but everyone there does an amazing job and you really can't go wrong. The salon is clean and relaxing, and I always leave happy with my nails. read more

People were nice but the work was terrible. She left excess nail polish on my skin and didn't completely fill the empty spots of missed nail polish on my nails. I didn't even let her finish the rest of the design on the rest of my nails because I was just so over it. I won't be going there again. I sat there for almost 2 hours too. Really bummed out... read more

This nail place is now my favorite nail spot in Fullerton not only because of the cleanliness, the friendly atmosphere and the prices but mainly because I found Joanne! She is the best in town when it comes to Gel-X. I get stiletto LONG, and I'm a bartender so I am constantly using my hands, they always look beautiful and my last set stayed on without any repairs or having to glue any back on for over 3 1/2 weeks! I usually don't let them go that long but they looked great still. I also highly recommend Annie for a pedicure. She takes her time with the massage.... and she always does an outstanding job. Over all, everyone here is so sweet, professional and they don't try to rip you off! Thank you Joanne and Annie read more

I recently visited AList Nails for a pedicure and acrylic set, and unfortunately, I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience. I left feeling extremely unsatisfied and concerned about the hygiene and customer service standards at this salon. I went in hoping for a simple French tip acrylic enhancement. None of the pink shades available suited my dark complexion, so I expressed this to the technician, who also happened to be the manager. She suggested dip powder, which I politely declined--I made it clear I only wanted acrylic. When she showed me color options, I assumed they were colored acrylic powders. I chose one, and she began the service. The problems began almost immediately.She did not wash my hands cut any cuticle or use sanitizer. She applied a tip crookedly and I pointed it out. The tip was too small for my nail bed, and though she soaked it off and reapplied it, it was still crooked. I reluctantly let it go. She used a metal bit to file aggressively, and I told her my finger was getting hot from the friction. Her response was to suggest a manicure, stating that filing is required with acrylics. Then, she applied only clear acrylic--even after I specifically chose a color--and informed me afterward that she only uses clear acrylic and adds color later. At that point, I decided to accept it and fix it myself at home. The acrylic application on my other hand was rushed and messy, with no clean-up. She interrupted me several times while I tried to express my concerns and offered to soak everything off when I mentioned I was unhappy. I declined because I didn't want further damage, especially since she had already drilled into my nail during the first soak-off. To make matters worse, she used an old, worn file, and I noticed that none of the tools or implements were sanitized between clients. Items meant for single-use were being reused, which is a major sanitation violation. This is not only unprofessional--it's a health hazard. I was charged $25 for this service, which is appalling given the poor quality, rude attitude, and unsanitary practices. I'm a licensed nail technician myself, and I rarely have time to do my own nails. I was hoping to treat myself and instead ended up dreading my decision. It's shameful that salons like this continue to operate without accountability. The manager showed no regard for client satisfaction, took my feedback personally, and seemed annoyed by any critique. "I fix later" seems to be the motto--only if you argue enough. Instead of A List Nails this place should be called Z List Nails. read more

I usually come to Cindy to have my gelX done. She very polite and understanding. I love that she gives suggestions. She does a fantastic job. Tiffany, I highly recommend. Hands down she's the best. Been to others there, not good. Sadly, you need to stand your ground for want you want and when something is not being done your way. Always make sure they are using clean and sterilized equipment. I noticed they don't and they were upset when I asked them too. Good luck read more

I came in with strong, healthy natural nails -- and I left with brittle, damaged nail beds after just one appointment. I asked for a gentle manicure after acrylic removal, and repeatedly told the nail tech that her method was painful. She used cuticle nippers to scrape my nail bed, even after I clearly asked her to stop multiple times. She dismissed me, saying "I have to" -- which is inexcusable. By the end of the appointment, the same person who had complimented my strong nails was now calling them "brittle" -- because she had caused the damage. On top of that, I had to instruct the tech how to apply polish. The application was messy -- polish all over my nail beds, uneven finishes, and zero attention to shaping or elegance. It was clear they lacked not only technique, but any design sense or understanding of how to visually optimize a clean, professional nail look. It honestly felt like I was teaching a beginner, not receiving professional service. This was hands-down one of the worst nail experiences I've ever had. If you value gentle care, basic polish skills, and a tech who listens to you instead of ignoring your pain, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Great service and always so friendly and outgoing. Cindy does great nails and Annie does the best pedicures!

Have been coming here for several years. Annie gives wonderful pedicures. Cindy is alao great with nails.

Very unprofessional. Two employees kept asking if I lived nearby/in the neighborhood. And then they made me pay right BEFORE they started painting my nails. I can read in between the lines. read more

Best place to get a quality mani/pedi. you can walk in but best to call first! Joline, Jessica, and Joanne are the best!

I have been a customer for a few years and I keep coming back due to great service. All the technicians who work here are nice and professional. Jolene is who I usually see and see's AMAZING! I've also been helped by Annie and Cindy, who are also great at what they do! I highly recommend you make an appointment. Walk-in's are welcome, but you may have to wait a couple of minutes while they take care of customers with appointments. read more

I got my nails done and I am not picky at all. I'm really not. But the amount of glue left under my nail is unacceptable. I asked her to remove it and she wouldn't because she said it was normal. Then I came back like two hours later and she filed a few of them down a little bit. I came back a couple hours after that and asked him to completely redo the set and she said no and then I said well can I at least get a partial refund and she said no But the set looks like it's over two weeks old and I paid $150 for this and my toenails ridiculous. Also she said she could file the glue. But I said it needs that and the nails just dont match up. read more

I have been coming to this salon for many years and I am always happy with the service I receive. Jessica does my nails with the powder and Annie or one of the other girls does my pedicure. Jessica knows that I have very thin nails and is very careful to make sure that the drill doesn't get too hot, and lets whoever is doing my pedicure know not to rub my legs too hard as they are very sensitive. Yes, I'm a little high maintenance, but I always feel very taken care of here and I am always impressed by the professionalism and cleanliness of this shop. Recently, I started getting eyelash extensions from Joanne. I was only going to keep them for the length of my vacation, but I have received so many compliments from my friends about how natural they look, I just can't take them off. Joanne does such a great job making me feel comfortable and relaxed while she works, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. read more

I have been coming here for years, but sadly I think today was my last visit here. The technician was super rushed - not even allowing me to finish a full dry cycle. I had to ask her multiple times to file my nails because they were jagged and crooked. She rushed that too as you can see the tips of my nails aren't even painted all the way. I expressed how unhappy I was, but ultimately just had to leave with a manicure I could have done myself. :-( read more

Always get a good pedicure and they are quick to get me in if I call ahead. Even if I don't the wait is usually not bad.

Was in the area and was desperate to get my nails done. I googled places and this had 4.7 rating on Google. Had photos of nail art and everything. Looked a like a place i was looking for. I get greeted and waited a minute. I was then told they don't do design with no diamonds or anything like that before I even asked. Which is weird because that's what they showed on their photos. Once again I was desperate, I had somewhere to be and had two broken nails so I still stayed. She sat me down and took off my old set. She hurt me and made me bleed per nail! It was painful! Once she finally got them off, which took almost an hour, she then proceeded to make me bleed more during filing. I told her i wanted them long and she kept telling me no. How do you tell a paying costumer on what they want? If can't or don't wanna do it, LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT! awful experience and nail set. Brand new set and the thumb is already cracked! Save your money and time and go elsewhere. read more

I went there to have my nails redone Yesterday 2/2/24 because the first time I went they messed them up and the lady that sits in the first desk when you walk in gave me the five dollar gift card to use when you come back. I went back yesterday to get my nails done. They was willing to give me a pedicure, but they didn't want to redo my nails. They kept talking in their language, kept making up all kind of excuses time about , everybody had appointments, and it wasn't nobody in the place. This place is just money hungry and you can't trust their word I would never go back to them again I would not recommend that place to nobody. No wonder it always empty when you pass by and if I can give them no stars I would. It was another lady there told me they did her the same way, they wanted me to pay to take the old nails off and do a whole new set and give me five dollars off They are full of it read more

Great experience. I came for my first time after reading good reviews and loved it! I plan on making this my go-to place.

Honestly if there was a 0 I would give them. I had an appt at 4:00 pm for full set, I waited half hour on the chair waiting for someone to come and start, no one showed up. What was the point of an appointment if no one wants to take care of the customer?? I guess neither walk in nor appts is good for this place. This place need to do much better with customer service. read more

I had my underarms and eyebrows wax today and it was horrible. My eyebrows are uneven she took off way to much. The worst part was she burnt my skin so bad that I had to take motrin, put ice and aloe for burns. All I am hoping I dont Get an infection. And yes also pay 30 plus tip. She didnt let me see my eyebrows while the waxing. I felt a burn and looked at them in the mirror. Once I ask why they were so uneven she ask if she can make them thinner. It was such an awful experience Update: I reached out to the salon and I got my money back but almost a week and my eye is still swollen and seeing the Optometrist today. read more

My pedicure and massage with Cindy was so amazing I'm still sitting in my chair writing this review because I couldn't wait to rave about it!! I got the BELLA pedicure and she delivered the BEST experience I've had in my 10+ years of getting my nails done. She took her time with me and had so much patience with my wiggling toes(I'm so ticklish) but she was very nice about it lol I live 2 hours away from the location but will be coming back when I'm in town just to have another great experience with her . Salon is very clean as well! ASK FOR CINDY (: read more

This was a $20 manicure. Still bleeding. Tried a-list for first time today because I was in the area - was happy they could squeeze me in. But I will not go back and do not recommend. To top it off the woman who did this to me was not kind and was going to put glue on the open wound. I told her no three times till she walked me to counter for payment. Took the $20 and walked away. I never like to leave bad reviews but buyer beware. read more
