I had a gel manicure done by Tammy a little over a month ago for my wedding! Trying out a brand new salon right before my big day made me a little nervous, but looking back at the results, I'm so glad I did! Getting to the salon wasn't too difficult, some street parking wasn't too difficult. The salon had a cute and modern vibe to it! I was instantly seated by Tammy and she got to work. They had an iPad at each station, which really made my experience here relaxing. I had a hard gel set on, and Tammy did mention how they'd have to start clean and remove this set. I was charged for removal, which I wasn't the greatest fan of. I asked Tammy for a classic nude, white ombré with a bit of glitter on top, and she delivered! This is probably the best set of ombré nails I've ever had done!!! I've had many nail techs say how ombré nails look better on longer nails, but Tammy made things work with the nail length I was comfortable with! I was a bit skeptical of the longevity since it wasn't the hard gel I'm used to, but this set legit lasted me over FOUR WEEKS (with the exception of one nail that had gel-ex on because of some previous nail damage)! If I were in the area more often, I'd go back to Buttercup in a heartbeat!!!! They are on the pricier side, but you'll be paying for quality IMO. read more

Buttercup by Haru - Manicure by Tammy! - Nail Technicians Near Me - Fullerton, California

Accommodating, friendly, attentive, perfectionists. I needed a gel manicure and pedicure for a wedding this weekend and work every day but they were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule. (There is a reason they are always busy they do an amazing job) I have very short nails and the nail technician was able to make them look so pretty and feel secure. Normally my gel chips in a day but these are holding up and feel strong. read more

Had to leave a review because I'm amazed by how long these nails are lasting!! I got my nails done May 2nd, and today is May 23 (exactly 3 weeks later) and it is still on with no lifting. The color and shine is just as beautiful as I got it. Well worth the money I spent on it. Plus, the experience of getting my nails done is super nice. They give you an iPad so you can watch Netflix, Disney, etc. while you get your nails done. Highly recommend. Karen did my nails and she did incredible. read more

I haven't gotten lash extensions in almost a year, and decided to do it again for my birthday and was soooo happy I was booked with Lanvy. The service I requested was the lash perm point extensions and I also just did a re-touch. Lanvy is very professional, polite, and skilled in what she does. She asked many questions (that I was never asked before by anyone for lash services!) to truly customize my lashes to how I wanted them. She will also give her honest opinion to what she thinks is suitable, which I so appreciate cause I can be indecisive. I could tell that she cares for the work that she does, is very detailed, and will make sure that I'm happy with the results. I highly recommend her! She won't disappoint! There is parking behind the building. There are only a few spots but I've never had trouble finding parking here. Nearby parking in the residential area is also available. read more

This review is long overdue but I wanted to see how the lashes looked after some time to give my review. This was my first time getting my lash extension done here and the lashes were done by Lanvy. She did such an amazing job! I wanted something natural but fuller than my natural lashes. Lanvy definitely delivered. I'm so happy with how it turned out and was also so impressed with how well my lashes lasted even after 3 weeks. The process of booking was pretty simple and since this was my first time getting a service done at this place, I had a few questions. The response time is so quick and efficient. I felt less anxious coming in due to thi The entire experience was top notch and I would definitely come back! read more

I got my hybrid lash extensions done with Lanvy & the result was exactly what I wanted. I've had extensions done at other places before but Lanvy was the most thorough and attentive technician I've had. I wanted a very natural look, and she took the time to show me sample photos of her previous work to confirm the style and volume before starting. To make sure I was happy with the length, she even applied a single lash in the middle first so I could see how it looked before continuing. She was also incredibly gentle throughout the entire session. After finishing, Lanvy checked to make sure I liked how everything turned out. I'm definitely coming back! read more

They did have the work done, but the vibe was terrible. I see some crooked shapes on the reviews but they still left a five star which seemed odd to me. I was able to catch one when I was getting my nails done, but was able to correct it before it was too late. But the worst of all was the lady at the front. She was extremely condescending and had no intention to help out. I wasnt very aware of the different types of nail services and she was not ready to do work. So I figured out this place is more of a factory wherein you just get your nail done and leave. It's not a place to explore options before starting on your nails. This was do your own research before coming type. I dont remember the name of my tech, but just like the front lady, it was difficult to get recommendations from her too. No personalized care nor consultations available. I guess I'm more of the type to visit a one-person-shop rather than factory style shop. read more

This place is so cute and chic and clean. I got a pedicure here with the nail tech. They have iPads in case you want to watch a movie! lol. They also put you in these super comfortable reclining chairs with blankets. It's perfect to take a nap. Only downside is that there is no parking, just 3 parking spots. And the pedicure was pretty pricey. I think my pedicure was about $55.. and my nail tech did a good job at taking ingrown nail but they did not follow the shape of the nail that I asked for. read more

This is a review for the hybrid eyelash extensions with Lanvy. I had such a wonderful relaxing experience today from the friendly receptionist that greeted me to Lanvy's gentle and calm presence. I haven't had eyelash extensions in 5+ years but decided to try them again after seeing Lanvy's more natural looks on Instagram. She asked me whether I wanted black/brown/a mix in color, where I wanted the longest lashes, and how long I wanted the lashes... all questions I have never been asked before or considered. I felt like I was in the best hands. The whole space is well kept and clean. The chairs are amazing (where can I get one?)!! It was a real treat yourself experience and I even got to take a nap. The service was booked for 2 hours but Lanvy was finished in little over an hour. Love the efficiency! Thanks for helping this new mom feel pampered and giving me the chance to catch up on some ZzzZz's! read more

Karen is absolutely amazing for nails and Tammy is the best pedi guru for me. They are my go-to combo at Buttercup and when either are busy, you can never go wrong with the one and only Haru. I love the color selection that Buttercup carries and every time I go, I leave so excited to rock my new design and color. The way Karen shapes and designs every request I come in with, to absolute perfection is amazing and she and Tammy are so friendly and nice. I enjoy how the set-up is laid out in the salon - - it is so cute and Haru has indiviudal ipads set up for each client for entertainment as well. Ashley is friendly and helpful with appointments and the team works well together. Payment is via zelle and I think starting this month, it is cash only and with card, there is a fee but call to confirm! See you soon, Ladies :) read more

I had my appointment with lanvy and she was great and so gentle I fell asleep. Loved how my lashes turned out :)

I drove all the way from San Diego to get my nails done here. If that does not convince you... then, let me elaborate more! I am very picky about where I get my nails done. I wanted a salon that uses Korean/Japanese products, and also a salon with artists who are experienced in executing nail designs. There are some salons in SD; however, they are not taking new clients or they are wayyyy too expensive. It may seem counterintuitive to drive (considering gas prices); but I am also a person who likes to explore new areas and go gallivanting by myself. BOOKING: It is very simple! If you have access to their IG acct, their Vagaro link is there. Shortly after your reservation is made, you will receive an email and/or text msg. From there, you can receive a quote for your design. LOCATION: It's in a quaint house in the suburbs of Fullerton--uncharted territory but the area is seems safe! Parking is in an alleyway between Stanford/Cornell Ave with 3 parking spots. Plus, the staff is very considerate of safety as there is a doorbell for you to ring once you arrive. SERVICE: 10/1000+ for service. The staff is very accommodating. They went over my design choice, and showcased a wide arrange color options. I decided to have my mani/pedi done simultaneously--Tammy and Karen were very sweet and efficient. Haru even set an iPad out for me with Netflix. I was done in 1.5 hrs, and the quality of application of products, design, and service provided was immaculate. PRICING: For me the pricing is great. I pay for good quality! With my pedicure/manicure, it was about $144 total w/o tip (pretty average if you ask me). They accept Zelle (which most banks facilitate) and cash (be prepared!) All in all, I recommend choosing Buttercup by Haru as your salon. I will be back very soon ~ read more

Very cute and fast, but hours later my cuticles keep bleeding on and off...lots of nail colors and nice styles though. Communication is pretty easy with Haru. She got me what I wanted and more. I was able to message and send her reference photos and she was able to deliver. This place gets two stars for sanitation, would be 4 stars overall but the cleanliness makes me wary. There were two people who did my nails - Haru did my design and her other employee prepped my nails. I will say for certain the girl who prepped my nails cut my cuticle too much that it started to bleed. She apologized, but what I find odd is that she didn't even sanitize my finger (never did I feel a sting/ see her get an alchy wipe) nor did she ever tell me to go wash my hands after it started to bleed. She did stop the bleeding with a new cotton ball, but I'm pretty sure she didn't sanitize because I didn't feel a sting. When the first girl asked to take a look at my hands as I sat down after coming into the room, I had to interject with her and tell her, "hey I'm gonna go wash my hands first." I have two fingers that are bleeding on and off, which is a first in the handful of times I've actually gotten my nails done. I'm aware mistakes happen, and I did get an apology at the moment, but never did I see an alcohol wipe used. Maybe the nail products had alcohol in it?? I doubt it. Regardless, she stopped the bleeding at that moment and then continued without having me wash my hands. I let her continue cuz she's the pro. I'm just saying what I observed.. For the price, I like the design immensely, but the blood isn't cool and the aftercare the initial girl took didn't seem that clean to me. read more

I have been to countless nail salons in the US and Asia and I can confidently say Haru is the cream of the crop. Her meticulous attention to detail is unparalleled and her skill set is significantly above average. I find that most nail artists can replicate a photo about 80-90%. Haru always does exactly what I ask for while maintaining personal style. Another issue I've had with other artists is painful drilling and filing with the removal of old gel. Haru has her filing technique down to a science and has never hurt me once. I also have zero problems with broken cuticles, lifting gel or discoloration of my natural nail. The studio is very pretty and clean. They have every color you can think of and more. I always feel welcomed and relaxed when I'm there. Thank you for always taking care of me Haru ! read more

I had to schedule an appointment last minute before an international trip and Haru was so kind to respond and squeeze me into her busy schedule (thank you, thank you!). I have small and thin nails that I imagine aren't the easiest to work on, but Haru was so gentle and was able to recreate exactly what I had in mind. These are by far the best nails I've ever got done in both how it felt during trimming, coloring, etc. and how they came out. I love how syrupy, clean (not a single thing out of place!), thin (not over-layered) and cute these look and I will 100% be coming back to Haru for all my mani and pedi needs going forward. This location is brand new (the building's been renovated) and it's spanking clean as well. read more

This review is long overdue! I can't say enough good things about Buttercup by Haru in Fullerton. I started going there in February 2024 to get my birthday nails done, hoping to find a place that could help with my wedding nails in September 2024. I've always struggled with brittle nails and had been told I had oily nail beds, which meant that my nails would peel within a week of getting them done anywhere else. I typically only got my nails done for special occasions because I felt it was a waste of time. From my very first appointment with Haru, the owner, I felt a sense of hope. I shared my nail struggles with her, and she confidently assured me, "No problem! We can grow out your natural nails by September." I had never heard such a promise before! Haru explained that it was all about proper nail prep, and that conversation marked the beginning of my nail journey. Although Haru is at the Los Angeles location now, she remains my favorite, and I have a lot of respect for Ash and Diane always being accommodating. Fast forward to my wedding day, and I was thrilled to have my own natural nails! The team was incredibly supportive, sharing tips and tricks to help keep my gel polish on for an unbelievable 4 to 5 weeks since my first appointment. I was always amazed at how well my nails held up, even with my busy lifestyle. On those rare occasions when my nails would chip or peel, I would message Ash, and they were always so accommodating and kind Now, four months after my wedding, I'm still a regular at Buttercup by Haru--something I never thought I would say! I've received countless compliments on my nails, and I truly feel like a "nail girly" now. Thank you, Haru and team, for transforming my nail experience and making every visit a pleasure!

I tried eyelash extensions for the first time with Haru--I asked for natural lashes and she did not disappoint. She makes sure your comfortable and is so gentle around the eyes. I also did nails with her because...why not I showed her a reference picture and she matched it almost perfectly. She put a little spin on the design, which I loved and of course she asked me before proceeding. She was gentle, quick, efficient and the nails came out great! The pricing was also very reasonable ~ Definitely recommend and will be coming back read more

Buttercup by Haru is the new nail shop in Fullerton. While I normally don't like to be bothered with writing reviews, Haru's beautiful work and her cozy, aesthetic, welcoming space definitely deserves to be recognized and you guys deserve to hear about it after my years of leeching off of other Yelp reviews. So here I am and here it is- First off, Buttercup by Haru is a one-person establishment. That means the owner, Haru, is the one who will be working with you, anytime you're there. That means consistency in quality of work and design. She's also really sweet and genuinely cares about her clients. Communication with her through text from making the appt to actually getting nails done has been a smooth sail. Haru is both very talented and flexible with her designs. I've seen her design everything from cactus to KakaoTalk characters. But personally, what I truly appreciate is her ability to anchor down the stones and gems on the nails so they'll probably grow out before they fall out if you gave it enough time. She also carries myriad of different stones, gems, and crystals to make your desired design come to life. I tend to opt for gel and she uses Presto Gel Polish, which is a Japan brand and easily one of the best gel polish brands out there in terms of color and durability. Her regular polishes are also strictly from designers like YSL, Chanel, and my personal favorite- Tom Ford. Buttercup is a charming little nail shop, in terms of both the experience and space. Haru definitely much attention to her interior from the espresso machine to the candles and it does not go unnoticed. The experience of being in such a personalized space with much privacy and 1:1 attention is definitely something that sets Buttercup apart from others. read more

I was so happy I was able to finally clear my schedule and make it in to get my nails done by Haru. First off let's talk about the excellent customer service provided by Ashley who was proactive in communicating directions and info prior to my first visit. Upon arrival, I was seated and offered many different nail polish/design color options that was thoroughly explained by Ashley. After deciding on my 3D gel design, Haru got started right away. I noticed immediately the attention to detail in not only prepping my nails but also with the gel and design application. My nails came out perfect for my upcoming wedding and huge work event. I've received so many compliments and it's now been 4 weeks and my nails are still going strong! Can't wait to come back and happy to have found my regular nail place. Thank you Haru and team! read more

I cant believe I haven't left a review for Haru yet. Haru has been doing my nails for a little over a year now and I can not go to anyone else because she's the only one who has been able to keep my nails from constantly breaking!! I do my normal chores (cooking, cleaning, vacuuming) and my nails don't chip or break anymore. She makes sure that you love your nails before you leave and they also have 2 weeks policies in place where if your nails do break or chip she'll fix it at no cost. Haru also does my eyelash extensions and they look so natural that people ask if my lashes were naturally that long. It perfectly blends with my eye shape and I just absolutely love how meticulous she is when it comes to details. Haru is literally so sweet and caring to her customers and it's worth waiting for dates to open up for me to go to her! I always seem to forget to take pictures of my nails but they always come out so great and I get so many compliments on them!! read more

My nails look amazing and I'm loving it! This is my third time coming here--first time was just to get a simple nail design for my interview, second time was to remove the gel nails from my first time and I wanted to let my nails breathe a little before I slap on another set, today was the third time and definitely not the last time! Haru has not disappointed at all and she's always very professional and super patient with your nails! Some of my nails were still healing from a hangnail (not her fault but my own) and she was still very gentle with them and was able to do her magic! This time around, I had a general idea of what I wanted and Haru was able to execute them perfectly!! My nails are freaking adorable and I love them so so much You do need to make an appointment with her and she responds relatively quickly through IG. I haven't directly texted her but I'm pretty sure it's similar :) within same-day responses, maybe next day at the very latest. My first time was a very last minute request but she still squeezed me in past closing hours and I really appreciated it Her assistant is super nice too and they offer water/coffee with some treats while you wait. It is cash only though so make sure you have cash on hand but she will not disappoint! I have small hands which make my nails even tinier Haru was still able to work her magic and get the design I wanted. She was able to draw freaking Pooh bear into my small nail! Her artwork is soo good and overall she is amazing!! I highly recommend!! read more
