I'm from Toronto, and every time I'm in town, I always make sure to come here! I've been consistently impressed with the service and the overall experience. The cleanliness of the salon is one of the things I really appreciate. I noticed they have a sanitization machine for their tools, which gives me a lot of confidence and makes me feel comfortable knowing that hygiene is taken seriously. Everyone I've had do my nails has always been friendly, professional, and great at what they do. I've never had a bad experience here, and the quality and service are consistently excellent. Definitely one of my go-to nail salons whenever I'm in town. Highly recommend! read more

Shout out Tina, Tammy, and Lisa! My favorite nail techs here :) I've been going to Best Nails every month this year and they are seriously the best! I am always so happy with their work and they truly do an incredible job at making sure their service is the BEST it can be. I go to Tina for gel, Tammy for builder, and Lisa for my pedicures! I care so much about nail salon cleanliness and hygiene so the fact that all their equipment they use on you comes out of a sterilized bag means so much. It is a bright, clean atmosphere and despite moving soon I will continue making the drive down here for their services! read more

Wow!! What a manicure! This place was packed, and now I know why. Tina spent about an hour on my manicure, and it was fantastic. Included was a shoulder and neck massage, and she spent a full 10 minutes working out all my knots with oil and strong, skilled hands... then followed it up with another 5 minutes on my hands and arms. She used a variety of great-smelling waxes, oils, and scrubs, which made the whole experience feel extra luxurious. I also really appreciated that all of the tools came out of a sealed sanitary bag. I can't wait to come back! read more

Today was my first time trying Best Nails and I was impressed. It was pretty busy when I walked in, but someone was able to take me within 5 minutes for my gel mani. I had a chipped nail coming in (my natural nail) and my technician actually patched it up for me without me even asking which I thought was really nice. I got the OPI gel in "Bubble Bath" and am in love with how it came out. I typically get dark colors and this is the perfect neutral. I also got a 10 minute neck / shoulder massage and it was sooooo good! I've been to other highly rated nail salons in the area but this spot is so far the nicest, cleanest, and has the best selection of gel nail colors by far. I will definitely be coming here regularly! read more

Came in at 12 pm for when was my appointment was set. They were already ready for me, and sat me right away! I showed an inspo picture of what I wanted for my nails and they matched it perfectly! They did both my feet and hands at the same time which I appreciated! The salon is very cute, and quiet which I did enjoy. They were all very attentive. Price also was more than reasonable with tip added on top of it! Will be back. Thanks, Best Nails! I also went with this place because I sent a Yelp request, and they answered within the hour. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. It really depends on who is doing your nails. I've had 3 really bad experiences and 2 good ones. Had a manicure recently and the girl was in such a hurry that she left my nails uneven and really rough. I thought maybe she had an appointment coming in but when I looked over she was sitting in one of the chairs on her phone. Not professional at all. read more

Best Nails in San Clemente is THE spot for Tap nails, Dip, Nail art...you name it! Make an appointment. These well trained, highly skilled technicians are well appreciated and busy! You will be well cared for while you're there. If you don't want to hang your bag up, just let the staff know. They're doing their best to keep your belongings clean and safe while you're enjoying your service. read more

Update 24 hours later- Sheila was very nice and called me to refund my mom. She took care of things for us. Tonight was my third time here and my last. I promised my mom this was a good place and that the ladies here were nice. To be honest, i didn't want to come here again cause the last time i got a bright blue gel nail, i could see through them because she didn't do enough coats, they faded within a week. Tonight though, my wonderful mom paid for me and my little brothers nails (me a pedicure and taking gel off and my brother just a callus remover and nail trim) and then my moms nails. She tipped $10 each for all of us and they looked at her and asked for an additional $20. I'm absolutely disgusted at this behavior!! She of course did because she's too nice, but in a state where tipping is OPTIONAL and where almost no one does it anymore, i think this is so so uncool. I will be making sure that no one i know goes to this greedy place ever again. ZERO STARS. read more

I decided to go back and give this nail salon another try and I'm so glad that I did. First of all, it has clearly evolved since 15 years ago. It looks very modern. Second, from walking in to paying at the end, everything went smoothly and efficiently. And lastly, it was very clean: liners in the pedicure tubs and spraying down the massage chairs after use. New nail tools unwrapped from an autoclave envelope. I did a basic pedicure because I spent hours on backcountry trails the day before and my toes needed some love. My technician did exactly what I wanted. I have zero complaints. The salon was packed but able to accommodate a walk in on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely coming back. read more

Horrible little place. My hubby & I came in for pedi's, the lady immediately tried to grab my bag twice. I actually had to pull it out of her hands! She then gave me a fairly deep nick with the Dremel machine she clearly had no idea how to use to take off the gel polish. After the nick she caused she sprayed my nails with alcohol. Yeah, it stung. Something was said to her and they switched her to my husband. The one who took over was not any better. I've had extensive back surgeries & cannot move my legs quickly. Coninually grabbing them to put them on the ledge does not help. She kept doing this after I asked her not to. Unfortunately I did not notice terrible polish application until today. It's streaky, uneven, and basically terrible. My 6 year old granddaughter can do a better job. I then paid for the "service" and the man at the counter followed me out saying my card didn't go through, this is after I watched it go through. He said he would charge me again and if I saw I was double charged to call him & he would refund me. Really! Was he serious? I got on my banks website & showed him the charge went through. This is by far the worst nail salon I've ever had the displeasure of going to. If I could give it zero or better yet negative stars I would. read more

Tried several nail salons within 15 miles of me and I keep coming back to this one. Pros: Pricing is reasonable considering the location. Service is pretty good, I don't remember an instance when I wasn't fully satisfied with how my nail polish turned out. Staff are very friendly. Cons: They tend to get busy so walk-in is difficult, it's best to make an appointment beforehand. read more

I visited this nail salon for the first time today and got a cat eye color done. Once I got in the car and looked at my nails closely, I noticed that the polish didn't go down to the cuticle. I went back into the store and asked if they could fix it. They said they could but would need to remove the color first. I asked if I could change the color since they were removing it anyway, but they said they would have to charge extra for a color change. I sat down and the nail technician started removing the polish. I then asked him how much it would cost to apply a different color. He didn't respond, but a woman came over and asked if I wanted to change the color. I said yes. She didn't mention the price, so I assumed they might change it complimentary since they had made a mistake. I was wrong. I should have asked for the price again. Had they told me the price when I asked, I would not have changed colors. Only until she was done changing the color did she say they were going to charge me an additional $19 on top of the original $82, and the new color is even uglier than the first. It doesn't match the display and came out darker. Posting pics for reference. I won't be coming back here. Just a bad experience all around. read more
