    My pink and white fill the way I like them.
    Linda J.

    He did my nails exactly the way I like them not the way he wanted to do them. I like them short, square and with rounded corners.

    Excellent service and beautiful nail art! I'm so happy with how my nails turned out. I've only had positive experiences at this salon, 10 of 10 recommend to anyone wanting to get their nails done

    Pink Holiday nails by James
    Izna M.

    Was looking for a new nail salon because my previous one had issues with lifting and breaking. Called on Monday morning chose an afternoon time of 1pm. Was greeted when I got there by James and told I'd get my pedicure started first. He was finishing up another customer. Was np wasn't in a hurry. Pedicure- got the Deluxe. was very relaxing and professionally done. love the color I chose and was done before my nails were. New set and design- James took off my old crusty nails and put a brand new set on. Shaped them and trimmed them. The design i chose he did an amazing job with. I'm incredibly happy!! In and out time was 2 hours. Would definitely recommend!!

    Found this spot super close to my new place. James got me in within 10-15mins as a walk in both times. I showed him my inspo pictures and he has delivered both times! I have so happy with this nail salon and the quality of service. I will definitely start making appointments with James to make sure he takes care of me every time.

    I'm a long time customer, been going here since 8th grade. I had an issue with my nail and they reassured to me that they can fix it. Issue is resolved thanks to James. Definitely coming back. Happy new set results as well.

    James did my nails and love how they came out. Customer service was great as well. He made sure I was satisfied with my nails. They were a bit on the pricey side, but I love do love them. I found myself a new nail shop now all they need to do is serve wine. Lol

    Horrible cuticle job. I have these tags on most of my fingers and they hurt.
    Sarah B.

    No. First of all, their tools did not come out from the sanitized baggie. I got my toes done and the lady rinsed the tools in the tub water and put them back for the next customer. Second, when I said No to upgrading my package, her attitude changed immediately and went from being nice to ignoring me. Third, my cuticles after the appointment are absolutely wrecked, see attached pictures. I hate this place and I hate the workers who made my experience so traumatic.

    As personal care businesses were allowed to be reopen, my go-to nail salon was backed up for weeks and I was unable to get an appointment. I felt really bad straying off to another spot, but I had upcoming plans to clean up for. I found City Nails and Spa on Yelp. I called in and I was able to get an appointment after work. Covid Safety Precautions - Please wear a facemask to enter. Staff will take your temperature to ensure that you are not at risk of having a Covid Fever, and ask you to go wash your hands. There is plexi glass at the manicure and pedicure stations. Staff is wearing face mask and gloves. They even have face shields. Customers are seated at every other station. I felt very safe with their adjustments to the new normal. I had my Fresh Orange Peel Pedicure ($35) with Leanne and a Gel Manicure ($30) with Xuan. Both ladies were super friendly and fun to talk to. I fell in love with this Cre8tion gel polish for my gel mani and Leanne miraculously grabbed 2 different regular polish and layered it to give me a perfect match. She is awesome! The Fresh Orange Peel Pedicure was definitely a splurge from your default pedicure but I really needed some extra pampering after the stay home orders and nail salons being out of business. It includes your typical nail cut, shaping and cuticle trimming. In additional, it had the callous remover, cleanser sea salt scrubs, fresh orange massage and 6 minute hot lotion massage hot towel and polish. Woo hoo! My only comment would be I wish the massage part would be longer for the price range. Great experience here at City Nails and Spa! My nails are looking beautiful and I am ready for my plannnsssss *wink*. I would definitely come back whenever my main spot is too busy to take me in.

    I got a gel pedicure from Le Anne. It was great and so was she! It had been a while since I had a pedi and this was my first time trying City Nails. Will definitely be back to try a massage and get some acrylics from James!

    I love this hidden gem. I have been four times and every time they deliver! James is fantastic! Must personal nail tech I've ever had. Everyone else who has helped me has been amazing. Took my daughter here for HOCO nails and they ended up being so beautiful. Skip the more well known places in Irvine and come to this quiet location. Prices are affordable and service great.

It's probably the…read morebest $30 bucks spent (I think it was $30) They start by cleaning your face and adding some sort of moisturizer. Its followed by the best facial massage I've had in a long time. She really gets in there and massages everything from neck to forehead. I mean, I was ready for a nap right after she did that. However there was more to come. She went to the back and brought a cold facial mask. She proceeded to rest it on my face and massage it so that it would be nicely pressed over my skin. She then went on to take care of another client and I was fighting falling asleep haha I was with the mask for a good 10mins or so. She proceeded to remove it and do another nice massage all over my face spreading the moisturizer all over. She was so calm and relaxing. I am so ready for a nap now and my face feels clean, and refreshed. Very affordable and very accessible if you are in a rush and don't really want to wait for spa appointments to be open. This is your spot! Now don't go and say I gate keep haha trust me this is one service you want to try from here.

They use a very fine thread which got all my hair and made me cry (no pain no gain) lol. I usually never cry for any threading sessions, but it must have been the thread. Pricing is higher since Irvine, unfortunately. I had to subtract a star because when the lady asked if I wanted Aloe Vera, I specifically said "no thank you, it tends to break me out", she proceeded to slather it on my face regardless....hours later even after washing my face when I returned home shortly after, I broke out on both my eyebrow areas. :(
