Amber F.

I've been coming here for years. Love this nail place-- everyone is great, especially Annie, Chloe, Lily and Mark. Great quality work every time and everyone is so sweet. Highly recommend.

Chloe really is that girl! For festivals or business nails. Been coming to Charming for years now and it's such a great spot.

I love coming here for detailed designs I want for special events! They always recreate my inspo pics perfectly. Of course colors show up differently in pictures and on different skin tones. I let them recommend which shade would compliment my skin tone and they have never steered me wrong. My favorite sets I've gotten done in OC are always from this salon! I recently had Veda do my birthday nails and they came out wonderful! She checks with you at every step to make sure you love your nails

Kristine M.

Such a cute spot! The salon is super clean, everyone is so sweet, and they take their time to make your nails perfect. My nails came out exactly how I pictured them. Definitely my new go-to

I haven't had my nails done in so long (4 years) and was able to find Chloe (IG: nailedxchloe) through the reviews of another yelper. It was so easy to book with her through instagram and schedule a flexible time for me. When i arrived, check-in was easy! I'd say the prices at Charming are worth it if you feel like pampering yourself. Also, Chloe was extremely welcoming and was able to help choose what services/styles/designs to get without being pushy about it. She was extremely patient with me throughout the whole process and I ended up LOVING my nails so much. I got a short almond GelX with the prettiest custom pink polish. Definitely come here to get your nails done! It's free to come back* to get the GelX or builder gel removed if you get another service. Without another service it costs $15. I've attached the price menu of all the nail services. Venmo, credit, and apple pay allowed!

My experience at Charming Nail Lounge was a 10/10. My nail artist Veda did an excellent, amazing, spectacular job! She was very detailed, thorough, and most importantly kind! She is a gel builder queen and I walked out with the biggest smile on my face. I also got a pedicure with Kevin, he was friendly, gentle, and thorough. The salon is clean and the staff are so friendly. I've been going to nail salons for over two decades and by far this was one of my favorites. My sister and I will most certainly will be returning and highly recommend their services.

I have been getting my nails done here for years - but Veda is my main girl! She is so talented when it comes to making any design I want come to life. She is precise, time efficient, and so sweet! Thank you Veda!!

Excellent service and care. Laura and Lynn were very sweet to my friend. While waiting, I got a color change polish by Mark and he was wonderful too. Will definitely return here. Shop is clean and well run!

Tell me why that was like the best nail experience I've ever had? I came down to California for a work trip and I had some acrylic nails and I don't usually get acrylic nails so I really wanted to take them off. I went in and asked if they could take me to do just a acrylic nail take off at a gel manicure and even though they look really busy, they took me and Did so amazing like usually when you go to a nail place the worry is that they're gonna cut your cuticles or give you chunky nails or whatever but they all seemed really smart about the best way to remove the acrylic nails and also on modern nail technology a.k.a. gel builder and gel X manicures anyway if you look at the pictures, this is what SOPHIA came up with. Also, Sophia?? Such a cute girl to chat with. I wish I lived here so I could come to her to do my nails every time. Also, just because yelp is asking the vibe in there was immaculate. All of the staff members seem to be Vibin with each other. Everybody was really nice!

Charming nail lounge is one of the most welcoming nail salons I've been to! Not only that, but the service was amazing! One of the nail techs there named Sophia did my gel x navy blue katseye nails, and I love them so much!! Definitely will be going back!

Left and right fungernails. No apologies.

came in on March 4 after my nail had completely ripped off along with most of the nail bed. I had previously been in during February, but due to the severity of the injury, I had to wait 3 weeks before returning because I physically could not tolerate any work being done on it. On March 17, I had a full set applied. Your manager recommended Gel-X and clearly stated that if I had any issues, I would be refunded. I paid $90 plus a $10 tip. By March 23, a nail came off--which was not surprising given there was barely any nail to adhere to. When I returned, I told Michelle that my thumb nail felt loose and needed to be fixed. She dismissed me, insisted I was wrong, and refused to replace it. Two days later, that nail came off exactly as I said it would. What was underneath was a fungal infection--caused after your application, not before. Within days, I had to remove the entire set, and FOUR nails were infected. This was clearly the result of unsanitary tools or improper application. It had absolutely nothing to do with the timing between appointments. Instead of taking responsibility, I was told to come back every two weeks--essentially asking me to continue spending money after your salon caused this damage. The removal process itself was careless and negligent. No proper care was given to nails that were already thin, damaged, and infected. Let me be very clear: I did NOT do this to myself. Your salon caused this--100% and your horrible response to my fungus filled nails is appalling! You shouldve insisted I come in every 2 weeks so you could make it right, at no cost to me, since it was YOUR FAULT! Instead you left me in more pain, having to wear gloves as my paper thin fungus nails snag at the touch of everything! I'm appalled at your uncouth business practice and lack of integrity at this very upsetting and painful response to your negligence. You should be fined and have your license revoked!

Chloe is one of the best nail technicians I've ever had. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She always takes what I want and makes it better than I anticipated. She has great advice about nail care and health and I trust her judgement. Lily did my pedicure and she was amazing and so sweet. Very detailed and committed to making it a nice experience for me. The salon is always nice, clean and the staff and kind and welcoming. If you're looking for amazing nails, see the girls at Charming Nail Salon (especially Chloe!)

Light blue pearl swirl by Sophia

I have been here twice and I have loved both times so far!! Check-in is fairly quick. Their services can add up depending what you get. But honestly, you're not just paying for a service, you're paying for an experience. And it's worth every penny. For my first visit, Sophia did my gel-x nails and she did so well. The retention from the gel-x was seriously impressive -- my set lasted without lifting or chipping for weeks. But what really stood out to me was how gentle it was on my natural nails. There was absolutely no damage to my nail beds, which is rare for extensions in my experience. Even better, the time I spent with Gel-X actually helped my natural nails grow longer and stronger underneath. By the time I removed the extensions, I didn't even feel like I needed another set -- my natural nails looked so good on their own! It gave me the length I wanted without compromising my nail health, and that's a huge win. Mind you, I bite my nails when I'm stressed out. So I had to come back to this salon. For my second visit, Tony did my gel x-nails and OMG HE KILLED IT! I got a short almond gel-x nail French tip with chrome. He's so attentive to detail, fast working but also very gentle. The crisp line of the French tip and the shaping of the almond shape is perfectly skinny (not too wide and not too pointy)-- *chefs kiss* Definitely check out his Instagram for his work. You won't regret it :) https://www.instagram.com/nailsbytonyphan?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I had such a great experience with Sophia and Tony! I also highly recommend this nail salon for its warm, welcoming vibe. The staff truly take care of you as both a client and a person. They genuinely care about the health of your nails, not just how they look. It's such a relaxing and positive experience every time I go. If you're looking for beautiful results and a salon that prioritizes your nail health, this is the place! You deserve to be pampered

I was late to my appointment, which I called prior to coming in to make sure it was still okay for me to come. They assured me that it was okay and that they are ready for me. When I came in, I immediately knew the energy was off. Since I sat down, they were saying things like "oh yeah, she was late so she can wait for us". One of the other nail techs even say "oh feel free to charge her whatever you want" to what my nail tech said "yeah I'm gonna charge her $7 extra". They didn't know I was fluent in Vietnamese. I didn't say anything because I wanted to continue to hear what they had to say about me. They also asked me where I was from and if I lived in the area. I am assuming that they're asking this to gauge what my ethnicity is. Also, they kept bringing up the fact that I was late. If me being late was such an issue, why say that it was okay for me to come and that they are ready for me? At the end of the conversation, I asked what the charges for and they said the $7 was for callous remover. I just took it as that and didn't call them out on it. Right before I left, I told them in Vietnamese that if they were going to talk shit, make sure I wasn't Vietnamese and that people don't understand them. Their shocked faces made the whole experience worth it tbh. In short, these people are probably going to talk shit about you the whole time.
