Builder gel manicure with cateye polish from Nikki: A+ Gel pedicure with nail art from Joann: A+ Amazing experience all the way around. This is the high class nail bar OC needed. Clean, friendly, professional. Pricy but worth it. These nail techs are perfectionists who take their time to make sure everything is spot on. Can't wait to go back in three weeks! I also want to mention my husband's mani and pedi. He's not someone who goes regularly to be pampered, but they did a phenomenal job on his hands and toes. Everything looks clean and neat. He did the signature mani and felt it was worth it. The scrub made his skin so soft. read more

The best nail artist is Kris!!! She first did my nails about a year ago, but couldn't remember her name to request for her service again when I booked my appointment (a few months ago). Someone else attempted to do my nails, but she told me she couldn't do the nail designs I wanted because it was too complicated. Luckily I saw Kris working the same day and I recognized her. She replicated the nails I wanted so easily and even better than the photo. She does SUCH BEAUTIFUL designs and can do intricate 3D art. You can tell she's a perfectionist and really cares. She's also so fast and efficient. A couple weeks ago I was in a rush and I felt so bad, but she was understanding and did my nails so quick. 11/10 service. I highly recommend her if you want to do nail designs. I rarely get my nails done these days, but if I need some nail designs for special occasions, I'll be back just for her. See photos. :) Thank you to Nancy for my lovely pedicure too! This is a lovely, clean salon with great workers. The owner is sweet too. Definitely will be my go to salon. read more

Ask for Crystal! I cannot recommend her highly enough! Every appointment is a wonderful experience from start to finish. She is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and takes genuine pride in her work. My nails always look flawless, and I constantly receive compliments on them. Beyond her skill, she is professional, friendly, and creates a caring & relaxing atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. I'm picky and she takes the time to understand exactly what I want and consistently exceeds my expectations. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and delivers exceptional results every time, look no further. I'm so grateful to have found her and wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails! read more

My favorite nail salon! Tony, Mai, and Holly are my favorite nail artists! Beautiful new business. read more

I love the renovations to this place--it feels so chic and luxurious. They're also opening a head spa, which I'm really looking forward to! Lately, I've been having Kris do my nails because she creates the most amazing designs. She's incredibly talented! I also love Nikki--she's wonderful. She's very gentle and always takes extra care because she knows I'm sensitive and nervous about getting my skin nicked. Those two are my go-to nail technicians. For pedicures, I always see Mai. She gives the best massages and is hands-down my favorite! The manager/owner at the front is incredibly friendly and welcoming as well. I highly recommend this place! read more

This review pains me to write because I think the employees are so sweet and the place itself is so cute. I've been to Bare twice now for gel pedicures, and the service itself has been great and very relaxing. Unfortunately, both times I have had complications with the actual gel itself. The first time around I thought I was having an allergic reaction to the polish I chose. The second gel pedicure I got wasn't properly cured, leaving me with wrinkled gel and a painful allergic reaction. Turns out both pedicures weren't properly cured. I've had to push liquid out of the pockets in my pedicure and my toes are non-stop itching. I'm super disappointed as I really wanted to continue coming here, but I think after two under-cured gel pedicures, I won't be returning. read more

Highly recommend, need to make an appointment a week ahead as they get busy. read more

I am so glad I found this gem of a place after years of doing my own gel-x nails. Not only is the store absolutely beautiful, but the service is unmatched. From the moment you step in, you're greeted warmly by the owner (Suri) and offered a complimentary drink while you wait. I booked an online appointment with Kris and was blown away by how quickly she was able to replicate the design I wanted! Kris was extremely skilled and has a keen eye to detail. My set turned out so beautifully, I am beyond impressed. I will definitely be making my way back! If you're wondering which salon to try next, don't think twice to give Bare Nail Bar a try - you won't be let down. read more

Perimenopause hasn't helped. thanks to Nikki, my nails are looking long and beautiful. I feel so feminine having nails. This is the best they have ever looked. Everyone on staff has been friendly and attentive. read more

My husband & I have been here twice now and love it. The techs are all so kind and talented, the facility is clean, and they are efficient. I'm only allowed to have solid colors at my job, otherwise I'd do a fun design, but have seen them execute beautiful work on other people. The pricing is also very reasonable. read more

Love my summer nails! I got an oval nail shape with a bright orange gel manicure. Tony did a great job filing my nails short enough but preserving the oval shape. I appreciate that he takes time to make sure the gel color is not too thick or bumpy. Ask for Tony if you have a specific shape in mind. You'll love the results. read more

I recently visited the salon for a fresh set and had a fantastic experience being serviced by Kris. She was incredibly meticulous and professional, making the whole process feel relaxing and high-end. I decided to go with chrome pastel colors, and the result is stunning--it has that perfect pearly, iridescent glow that catches the light beautifully. The pricing was straightforward: $55 for the gel manicure, plus $15 for the chrome finish and a $5 color selection fee. The quality of Kris's work and the unique look of the chrome made it well worth it. I'll definitely be back! read more

This review is for Kris and Crystal. Kris has been doing my nails for awhile now. She is amazing. She does regular gel, gel builder, deep powder and acrylic nails. She is very gentle and professional. She is detail-oriented, patient, and makes sure my nails look absolutely perfect. I have sensitive skin and get cut very easily. Ever since Kris has been doing my nails, I have not had any cut/reaction. It took awhile until I found someone super gentle. I definitely recommend her. Crystal is also great. She is so sweet. She listens to exactly what I want and makes me feel completely comfortable. You can really tell she cares about her work and clients. The end results are always amazing. I definitely recommend both of these wonderful ladies. The salon is newly renovated. The atmosphere is so upscale. The receptionist is incredibly warm and friendly. read more
