Things have changed not only the name, but they hiked their prices up quite a bit. Nothing will ever be same since the pandemic but come on almost $60 for a plain manicure/pedicure and all the extras that they tried to upsell you end up leaving with an 80 or $90 total let alone the tip. I was also told by a veteran of that shop that if I didn't like the job that she did to go somewhere else and that was after I gave her a $20 tip. Never know more I don't like ungrateful people with attitudes it was uncalled for. read more

I went in for this and I got this what's a total cost of $110 (including pedicure). Unfortunately I was not emotionally stable today and I did not want to fight anyone or anything so I just let it be but this is literally what I got. read more

Feel bad leaving this review because the ladies are nice. While my finger nails are very short, it hasn't kept me from getting regular manicures at other places where my nails have come out looking polished and cleaned up. Here, it looks like a manicure I did myself. I'm going to take it off once I get home and just put on a clear coat. You can also see my toe nails- one of the big ties has a bumpy finish but they insisted it was smooth. Plus, the cuticles look messy too. For my fingers, I had to ask to get the polish cleaned off from around the nail. Tried Alpha nails because it was so close to my house but i don't know if I'd come here. Maybe just to get mani-pedi without polish application. read more

I just left alpha nails with my Mom. We both had a pedicure and gel manicure. All the women were great and I highly recommend all of them! My Mom has Dementia and Jennie gave her so much love. She truly exhibited the love of Christ. She did an amazing job on her nails and also her eyebrows. Jennie also does hair and facials! We will be coming back! read more

This post is mostly for the experience my sister had. My experience was great with the ladies that helped me with a mani and pedi. I would rate them a 4.9. The lady that was supposed to help my sister gets a negative 2. I had scheduled (days in advance) an appointment on 1/14 for me and my sis to come to the salon to get our nails done at 9am (right when they open). We had an event a few hours after and didn't want to be rushing. I was assisted at the time starting with a pedicure and then 20 mins later another lady started my nails. The lady that was supposed to help my sis with a full set still hadn't not shown. She didn't end up showing up until after 9:45. When she showed up, there was no sense of urgency, no apology from her, no acknowledgement. My sister was over waiting at that point and decided against doing her nails. It was very disappointing and rude to have to experience that on my sister's behalf. It's one thing to be late, but the worst part was that you could tell that lady didn't care at all. She went to the back and was eating her breakfast and never acknowledged us or apologized. Maybe she shouldn't be working in a service industry. Unfortunately I didn't get any names but the person who was late had long blondish hair. read more

Worst eyebrow wax ever! First thing I said was, 'I do not want them too thin' 'oh, that's okay' she replied. The 'tail' of my left eyebrow was completely removed and on the right very thin. I have natural arches, she took both off and went too low on the left, now I'm uneven. The whole time telling me how some girls just don't have the 'tails' or are uneven and need to draw them on. I didn't need to draw them on and I did have 'tails' until I went here. Too bad I can't give ZERO stars! read more

Just finished a trip to the salon ! Helen was awesome she pays attention to detail . I went in with damaged nails from overdoing it with the gel manicure . They were brittle and sad.

I stopped in on my way to an appointment for a quick eyebrow waxing at 6:20pm, they close at 7pm. I was well greeted by all visible and offered services immediately. I was taken back to a private room with Tracy. She was kind and gentle, the tools and lotions used were all pain free and left minimal redness. She showed good attention to detail as it had been a while since my eyebrows had been properly maintained. I appreciate that she did not try to push any additional services on me. The price was reasonable, and there was a small cash discount. I am interested in coming back when I have more time for a manicure and pedicure. read more

All around top-notch salon. Helen has expertly done my nails for 5+ years. She's always willing to help, makes herself available when you need her, and does exceptional work.

Visit them today, you won't regret it. read more

Returned on Saturday 06/05/10 around 11:00am and they totally redeemed themselves. I got an awesome fill and rather than doubling up my pedi and fill to turn the chair they let me relax and take up a spa chair after my fill. I ended up with extra massage, foot scrub and a super cute design for the same cost as before. Much better, thanks! read more

Honestly..... This place really disappointment me... as nice as the ladies are in there I went in there (not my normal go to) because covid had my place closed temporarily to get a pedi.... I always get a Gel pedi and have never once in my life paid over $30-35$ for a pedi.... is that normal for you guys?? Because once she finished polishing me she told me my total was $71!!! That's right$71 for a GEL PEDICURE I looked down at her phone where she was calculating my price and her phone calculator said $61 so I double checked with her and said you said $71?? Not $61 ?? She said oh no it's $71.... I was soooo confused as to why it could be $71 for my toes to be painted I didn't even get anything fancy done either. She proceeded to have me Venmo her which I thought was sketchy because they must not be allowed to be open that's why they didn't want me to charge my card on their machine. I paid and moved on. Then... not even a week into having them done, 5 of my nails are completely missing polish. No they didn't just chip! They peaked right off. So now my toes look like a whacky mess and I don't want to go get them redone and my regular place for atleast a month because I just paid $71 for it to last a month or more and they're pretty much all gone and really ugly... so sad. Don't recommend going there. I'm not sure what polish they use but it must have gold in it to charge $71. But wait it leaks off so must not be gel either. read more

I have done almost everything at this salon, when it comes to hair, nails, and/or facials! This place has very kind staff and I always go to Jennie since she consistently does a great job! She is very patient with her customers even if the highlighting process can be very tedious! read more

I love this place!!! I've been going here for a year now. I usually have Helen or Vi do my manicures or full sets. Vi is only there on weekends I believe & Helen is always there. & Nancy does my pedicures. PS. Nancy gives greaaaaat massages on your legs! She has firm hands & I love it!! I really love this place because everyone says hi to you & tries to remember your name for next time. & of course they always do a great job on my nails!! I remember when I first started coming I told everyone about it! I said Vi is great! She remembers that I'm always hot when I come and turns the fan on for me. You cannot go wrong with choosing this nail place! read more

Stopped by for a quick wax and they were able to make time for me. Amy did my wax, she was great ! My skin is usually very sensitive and I get bumps but I didn't with her which was very nice. She took her time and all products were clearly good since my skin liked them lol She missed a few hairs here and there but overall did a great job. I'll definitely come back read more

I can't believe this place... I have given them so many tries... truly disappointed on so many things. Over charge on everything, try to charge you if you have a pointed nail so much more. Try to charge you to trim your nails during pedicure. Also saw the lady use the same foot scrubbed on another lady right after me! Gross... then on top of that, $75 dollars later and they can't even get the nail gel color on right. It's all over my hands when they fixed it twice. Horrible read more

Really bummed about this place. They were very nice and friendly but look at this! I got my nails done yesterday and haven't even been out of the house!! The other hand is chipped too!

Disappointed in the service and how they hacked the skin around my nails, hurt too. And it was 2 different gals. I asked for a basic mani pedi, I chose 2 diff colors. They asked me three diff times which color. They finished everything in 20 mins. The salon seems clean and bright but that's the best I can say. read more

I'm very pleased with the service I have received here since I discovered it a few months ago. Jennie was so kind to fit me in for a haircut after my manicure and pedicure the first visit even though it was close to closing time. I came back to her for highlights and color and really love it! I love the pedicures also. Jennie is so kind and sweet. I will keep coming here!! read more

I tried this place because it was in the same shopping I needed to do some errands in. First off right when I walked in I should have just went back out because there was no air conditioner on in the place and it was quite warm and stuffy inside. There was not a good variety of colors to choose from, most were the same color. The lady that did my pedicure did an ok job but when it came for the massage she literally only rubbed my feet for 2 minutes and 36 seconds (yes I timed it). Then lastly they do not let you tip on with your card and charge you a dollar to use your card. They are more expensive then most places then charge more to use your card. The lady saw this upset me so only then did she offer me a free water or soda. Not impressed with this place. read more

I go here often for haircuts and for eyebrow waxing. It always turns out great and I am never disappointed by their service! I would highly recommend coming here to get hair, nails, and/or waxing done! read more

I came here for a mani-pedi as a walk-in and It was horrible. The ladies kept talking to each other and were inconsiderate. My nails were ok though some weren't painted all the way to the sides. Then I came back to give them another try, just to have my gel manicure removed and this one lady COMPLETELY ruined my nails!! She scratched them up and are now uneven! I don't like this place at all. Don't come here. read more

NEVER AGAIN. I sit down and the nozzle on the water came off so it sprayed my lower half body. My bottom was drenched, I had to sit on a towel the whole time. The lady who did my mani cut and filed my nails soooooo short. I now have man hands. Plus she lost my own nail polish for a second. Omg I do way better doing my own mani/pedi. WHY THE FU** DID I JUST PAY FOR THIS TRASH JOB. read more

The ladies here are all so sweet! The owner, I believe, takes great pride in her shop and is always very welcoming. Fast and flawless work!

the girl who did my gel manicure did a horrible job and i hated it. she was super ruse and i would never go back there as well. I am not vietnamese but understand most of them bc i used to live in vietnam when i was little. Of course they didnt know that so they literally talked so much smack about me "in my face" and about other customers as well- I did not like my visit here, do not go here read more

Alpha Nails - my gel manicure chipped after 1 hr - Nail Salons Near Me - Placentia, California

Went in because my go to salon closed down, figured why not try this place, it's 1 min away from my house. Never again. They're nice and the massage chairs are comfy. That's the only reason why I'm giving them 2 stars. They rush the service, don't file your nails thoroughly lol, they don't remove the nail polish on your skin, but she was able to remove the polish she got on her nails.... overall it was such shxxty service. read more

Sloppy! And rude. I've been here a few times and they are pleasant and do a great job if you agree to the add-in's. But once you decline, they become very rude, cease conversation with you and talk in their coworkers instead. Once I declined 2 add-ones, she become very rough on my ingrown toe. She still continued after I expressed discomfort, until I finally asked her to be more gentle. Now I cannot put full pressure on my foot. Not returning! And I didn't even mention the poor job they did! read more

In regards to my previous review, I just returned for my second visit because Jennie has been doing my hair for years now and now she has a hair station there. She's great at hair color and her prices for a cut and color are very reasonable. Now this is truly a one stop shop for me. Nails and hair in one visit. read more

I went in to get a pedicure and the lady completely messed up and did not bother to finish it, gave dirty looks the whole time. When I asked her to fix it, she didn't and insisted that it's supposed to look how it did. read more

If you go here, make sure you know EXACTLY how much your service is. I went in for a pedicure and specifically asked if a callous removal was included in the price she quoted me. She assured me that it was. I sat down and another lady started my pedicure, removed my polish and started filing. She then asked if I wanted callous removal, and said it was an additional charge. WHAT?!??? She wouldn't honor the price the first woman quoted me, and showed me a price chart, arguing that it was an additional charge. So I told her to go ahead. I mean, that's the whole reason I was getting a pedicure. Then I had to ask her to go over the callous on my toe again because she just left it. My tech was constantly on her phone too. What these ladies didn't know is that I've been a licensed manicurist for 29 years. I just moved and haven't found a new spa to work in because of Covid. Bottom line...don't go here. read more

Really like this place. I had a gel manicure from V (station 1 - there are two "V's" at this salon). She takes her time, is very steady and thorough, and is really professional and nice. Also, their gel sample colors are often combos of two colors. The colors have a lot of depth because of this, and I've found a ton more shades to try that I don't see at other salons. Definitely recommend. read more

While they did a decent job with my gel and pedicure, the ladies here are not that friendly. They are rude and don't know anything about customer service. They were rather fast with my nails, didn't spend much time massaging and didn't make any effort to speak to me at all. Even if I had a question, they kind of blew me off. On top of that their prices are higher than other places in the area. It just sucks because they are really close to my house and it would've been awesome to have this as my go-to nails place. They charge a dollar if you pay with card regardless of the amount. The lady before me paid $180 on her card and they still charged her a dollar for CC transaction. Kind of ridiculous. read more
