    Gel manicure
    Samantha E.

    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.

    Day I got it done

    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.

    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!

    Loving this chanel brand regular polish Thank you, Karen!

    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 :)

    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 ~

    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 !

    I had a great experience at Buttercup by Haru. Everyone was very kind and accommodating. I love how my nails turned out with Karen. I'm excited to go back for their services. I highly recommend this business.

    Syrupy gel nails by Haru
    Gee S.

    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.

    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.

    By Dianna

    I love the atmosphere and enjoyed the experience here. As you entered, you will be greeted warmly by the staff. My nail technician, Dianna, is amazing! She is professional and pays attention to details. I tend to do my nails in Asia when I visit. I've been trying to find a place like the ones I went to in Asia. Finally, Buttercup by Haru showed up on my radar. So glad to find them and will definitely be back again :)

The staff were polite, and the salon was clean, but I think it's important for salons to be transparent about the services they offer--especially when using specific terms like "Russian manicure" that come with certain expectations. I hope they either improve the technique or adjust the pricing and labeling of the service to reflect what's actually being delivered.

The lady was a little rough with cleaning my cuticles and the whole service felt very rushed. I was trying to show in the pictures the inconsistency with the shape and part of the nail actually not being covered with paint. She overextended onto my skin and still ended up leaving the cuticles very choppy. In addition, I don't know what it is, but something was left on the polish before it was cured so now it's stuck in the nail. If I was from the area I definitely would not be returning here
