Prices aren't really posted so you better ask before you say yes to aimprove. I am between 3 and 4 stars as they are great and sweet and wanting to improve but not fully 4 yet. read more

Emily Nails changed owners and is now called something else. If anyone is looking for Mimi, she now works at La Bella Nails & Spa down the road on First Street. I'm not sure where the other nail technicians ended up. Such a shame - been going to Emily Nails for 20+ years. read more

Tammy and Mimi are very good. They always take care of me. I have come in without an appointment and they always take me. Very professional, kind and they listen to what you want. I highly recommend! read more

Emily's Nails & Spa - I chose a red French tip for the holidays! So cute! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I went to just get a manicure to remove the old gel to be able to put the new gel. The woman put this old clumpy acid gel remover and used an electric nail file to remove the old gel. At one point I realized she filed down sides of my natural nails down on three fingers which I've been trying to grow out for three weeks for my daughters wedding. Than the older woman took over to try to fix my nails but at one point she cut me when she was trimming my cuticles. It went from bad to worse!!!! Then they still wanted to charge me full price so I told them I get a discount and they could take it or leave it! I had to go somewhere else to fix it and it cost me $55 more on top of $25 of what I paid Emily's salon. Also they filed the tops of my nails down so much at the other salon when they put my hand under the UV light it burned. Worst experience ever at a nail salon! read more

Always friendly & I get excellent pedicures. Price is good. I also have had manicures there were very good.

Never again will I come to this place . My toe isn't even healed at all. This is the worst place to get a pedicure . My toe is gonna fall off . This place needs to get me a new toe . read more

I came here after work to have my dip powder removed. I've never had dip powder done before so I wasn't sure of the removal process. The technician used another acrylic nail to tear the dip powder from my nail. I thought it was okay bc it didn't hurt too bad and I thought it was the right way to remove them. I've been googling this afterward bc my nails are so thin and a little bit in pain! I found out they weren't supposed to tear them off like that :( they were supposed to be filed and soaked off. I will not be returning. read more

So first time I came my toe was cut .... I always try things/places at least twice... My office is crossing the street from here so I decided to give it another try. Middle of my service my manicurist leaves me to the lady that had cut my toes the first time around. I must admit I was a little nervous. She didn't paint my hands evenly.... I chose the same glitter as my jars for my toes but even though no one else was sainting the pedicurist was unable to wait for that polish to became available. I'm now walking out with unevenly painted hands and in my perspective an exaggerated glitter in my toes. No worries I only have 2 parties this weekend. Won't come back. Lesson learn sometimes you have to drive a little longer for what we want. read more

Thanks for doing my nails, Tina did a great job! I recommend everyone to come here trying this place!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Do not trust them when they say they can do a design. You'll spend 4 HOURS only to walk out with clear acrylics because they cant do what they said they would. I asked for a basic ombre look but they couldn't deliver. I got here on a Saturday at 1:45pm. They spent an hour and a half on the pedi. I didn't get anything special other than callus removal. Why do they take so long? I picked my color fast. At 3:15pm, I got a wax done, and they started the nails around 3:40pm. I didn't walk out until 6pm and ruined my date night. Instead of using dip powder for ombre acrylics, she spent most of the time dabbing color on the nail with a tiny sponge like a hundred times per nail. So frustrating! I wish I could get my time back and never step foot here again. I came back to have them fix it and they still didn't give me what I wanted. You know its intimidating being in these nail salons. I wish I didn't pay them but I did because I was too nice! Ladies, take it from me, if you didn't get what you asked for after they said they could, just walk out. These scammers don't deserve your business. read more

This place is incredible! The women who work here are very sweet and they do an amazing job. My mom and I have been coming here for years and will continue to stay loyal to this salon. The prices are great and it lasts for so long, especially the gel. read more

Emily's Nails & Spa - Never disappointed I love this place !! It's like hide treasure - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I saw a giant sign.....$15 callus remover and hot oil massage. Ooooooo hot oil massage. The worker removed my polish, clipped and filed the nail then worked on the cuticle. She spreaded callus remover and wrapped with with plastic wrap. It's all good until I saw the worker wearing the gloves. Hey, it's good that they were using gloves. But not yellow dishwashing gloves. These are my feet not my pots and pans. I liked how the worker was quiet so I didn't have to pretend I was reading or texting. But she kept smiling and staring at me. Great magazine selections here. There were some odd decorations like scary fingers and waterfall but just like your typical nail salon. I paid with Discover card and they said they didn't take discover card. Hmmm that's odd because there's a giant Discover sign by the door-see my picture. 3.5 stars!! Nothing memorable but I did like the oil massage. read more

I tried this nail place yesterday because they had a big sign advertising a Mani &Pedi for $40. I thought my pedicure was good but while I was trying to tell them the color I wanted they didn't seem to be following what I was saying, which was frustrating. They kept giving me a different color pink than the number I picked and didn't understand when I was trying to tell them I wanted one that wasn't so "bubble gum" and that's why I picked the # I did from the samples they have that was more of a bright coral pink. Oh well, but then the manicurist kept knicking me with the cuticle remover and didn't even acknowledge it even though there's clearly blood on my finger nail.. and I am not that sensitive to that either I usually don't mind a little discomfort when nail places remove my cuticles. Then, at the end, I noticed she kept going over the nails with the polish excessively and it was totally uneven how she was building the coat. Not a sleek finish at all and the pictures don't even fully show the flaws but it looks like my 15 year old self applied this polish. I didn't even let her touch it up with the polish remover at the end because I just wanted to go. During my experience, I noticed 2 other customers come in who seemed to be regulars so maybe I just had an off experience but I was very unimpressed and won't go out of my way to come back. read more

Great place to get nails done. I took my Mother there for the last couple of years of her life. They were always very respectful and talked with her and did an excellent job. When I started coming back after she passed they even remembered me and Mom and that was after being gone for 1 yr and half. It is the place to go. read more

Let me start by saying if I could give zero stars...I would. I came in in October to get a pedicure because my usual place was booked. I will never ever ever go to a random nail salon again without knowing what they are like. This pedicure has been the most expensive pedicure I've ever gotten. For one, they charge more than my regular place. Not only that but they don't do half as good of a job. My paint chipped within a week. It was also an incredibly expensive pedicure because I had to get surgery on my toe because of the infection caused by them. My toe became infected because they tried to "pull out an ingrown." First of all, I rarely get ingrown nails. Also, even if I did have an ingrown they should not have been digging that deep for one. I know for a fact I got this injury from them because my toe started hurting the same exact day after having no prior pain. I have yet to discuss this with the owners because I have been busy taking care of my own well-being but I discourage everyone and anyone considering coming here. read more

I went in for a manicure and removal of my acrylics. Instead of soaking them off, they pried them off which was incredibly uncomfortable and quite painful. Then they proceeded to drill down my nail beds paper thin. She saw two of my fingers were very irritated and bleeding and still proceeded to push back my cuticles and put alcohol all over them. I said I didn't want gel anymore because I knew how bad the UV light was gonna sting on my injured fingers and they seemed annoyed by it and started rushing. My fingers ache from how thin my nails are and how many cuts I was left with. One day later and the nail polish chipped too. I've never had a worse experience than this, go somewhere else. read more

Asked owner to use restroom although I wasn't a customer and she said "No!" I couldn't believe it.. not only am I clean, drive a BMW and carry Channel and have polished nails so could have been a potential client... she said NO! I Will NEVER go there! P.S. There was NO sign saying restroom for customers only.. read more

Although I loved my gel pedicure, I think $60 for a gel pedicure is excessive. If you do go, ask for "Loin" she is the bomb.com

Very good service I love the luxury pedicure that they offer. I will be returning for future services

By far worst acrylics I've ever gotten!! Paint was smudged right away, my cuticles were hurting so bad, and the inside of my nails were supper messed up. There was left over powder which hardened. I had to go back the next day and get them fixed which took over half an hour just to fix, such a hassle and total waste of my time. Would not recommend!! read more

Worst experience ever, I posted a photo as well. I went in because I was in the area. I regret that decision so much. I asked for a clean up and she completely ruined my eyebrows and my day. She rushed through them, ignored my request and did a crappy job. I have to literally now draw my eyebrows back in until they grow back. She completely changed everything about them! I am so sad and disappointed , I literally cried in my car looking at myself. DO NOT GO HERE. AVOID AT ALL COST read more

I wanted to check out a new nail salon just for the heck of it. I had to swing by the post office first so this nail salon was right in the vicinity. I had a gel mani/pedi. The gel color selections are limited and the quality of the gel nail polish they use is very cheap. How cheap you ask, well, my gel mani chipped within two days! The foot massage was nice and the ladies were very friendly. I paid $35 (without tip) for a gel/mani pedi that chipped within two days? I'll pass on Emily's Salon from now on. read more

A basic manicure and pedicure are $27 per the sign displayed outside. To add a gel manicure was an extra $11 so I declined. Once I declined the gel manicure, my manicure and pedicure we're rushed. When she finished I told her my left ring finder and bubbles and she blamed me for touching my hair (which was pulled back in a ponytail). She repainted it in a rush and did a worse job than originally. read more

Went here for the first time a few days ago, and let me tell you, it was one of the best nail salon experiences I have ever had! I was seated right away and asked what type of manicure I wanted and what color. As soon as I picked the color, the pampering began. My nails were shaped to perfection and my cuticles were trimmed to perfection. My gel manicure was done with great precision, and I was thankful that my technician took the time to trim my nails continuously to make sure they were the shape I wanted. I loved coming here, and for a $20 gel manicure, I will definitely be back, and probably for a pedicure too! read more

So, first off.. the mani pedi spa special for $20 is great... that's about it. Now, I am the type of person that likes customer service and I do consider myself a very generous tipper when someone makes the effort to say more than 2 words to you in a hour. (no joke.. hello and "want flower" were the only two words spoken) The entire time the lady doing my manicure was chit chatting away with the lady doing the pedicure next to me about a customer that had come in before me( realized this when she was waiving a charge slip in the hair ranting and raving about something in another language) I'm cool with others speaking a different language around me but my goodness that was way too much for me.. right in my ear.. the whole time. Again.. like I said.. the job was good..but the service will not have me going back unless I am in a bad mood and want no one to even notice me. So, when I tipped my ladies and they looked utterly surprised of what I gave them, I thanked them for their services and merely suggested they pay attention to their customers more and walked out... the End. read more

Best pedicure ever, my toes were perfect as my refill. Made sure it was perfect bs rushing me out to get next customer!!

I work near the salon and needed a simple manicure to clean up my nails and put on a new color....I couldn't regret my decision to not travel further to a different salon....the woman while cleaning up my cuticles went up entirely too far from my nail bed and cut the hell out of my finger. Needless to say I was not happy in the least and I've had it where it gets a bit cut around the edge and causes some pain or stings when alcohol is later applied....this was and is completely different. I still don't even understand how it even happened. To make matters worse there is blood under my nail polish and had to ask the lady multiple times to clean the blood off my nail bed before applying nail polish to which she acted as if the request was odd. From there she applied neosporin to my nail and entire nail bed then again attempted to apply nail polish, to which I had to ask her to clean the neosporin off before applying the nail polish as it likely would not adhere, she then removed half of the neosporin from my nail bed....to which the cycle of explanation on my part had to repeat. Needless to say I am frustrated, my finger hurts, my finger looks a mess, and i'm not going back! picture of my finger: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/emilys-nails-and-spa-tustin?select=1bfMLozQ36I_Jr6yCv8RaQ#1bfMLozQ36I_Jr6yCv8RaQ read more

The only reason to go here is that their chairs are nicer than most in the Tustin area. The pedicure was mediocre and the lady gave me a disgusted look when I tipped her $3 on a pedicure. She didn't talk to me at all other than asking me if I wanted a flower. They don't use packets of the tools that prove they were disinfected. If in Tustin go to K K Nails & Spa at 13430 Newport Avenue. They do a much better job and I only didn't go there because they were busy. read more

Earlier today, I walked in and they seated me right away. They were two Vietnamese ladies. I forgot to ask their names. They did a good job, although it messed up for my left big toe because it was closing soon, but all-in-all, I would come back again. They took their time and they did it thoroughly. I would recommend it to anyone. read more
