Gel manicure
Xuan L.

Happy Lunar New Year, Birthday and Valentines Design! Loving it! Vicky is amazing to work with!

I'm a loyal customer to Friendly Nails. Vicky is meticulous with my gel nails and everyone does a great pedicure. They really are so sweet and friendly. Their prices are also reasonable, which is hard to find in the area!

Fabulous. Miss Diane was awesome!!

I have been going to Friendly Nails for about four years. I go religiously every 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. Vicky and her team do a fabulous job and I've never had any issues with my nails. I've never had a chip or broken nail. Friendly nails is very clean. She always replies to my text messages in a timely fashion, and I always feel so welcomed when I come through the door.

Great hole in the wall nail salon! I just stumbled into this place and happy I did. Amazing customer service and prices for pedicure/ manicure. This will be my future spot now.

Cat eye to kick off the holiday season
Malia A.

Started the season with a new look - cat eye polish. Ask for Cherry and Diane. They are detailed and take care of you.

Gorgeous nails done by Sofia
Anahita M.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND SOFIA!! SHE IS AMAZING! I am not one to be easy going when it comes to beauty. sofia is patient and detail oriented. She is professional! She tries her best to get you out of the nail salon satisfied. She is a sweetheart and very friendly. I am not one to go a nail salon since I personally have good nails and know how to design, but I have loved working with Sofia. She definitely got me addicted to a routine nail session. I uploaded her beautiful work below. I THINK THE OWNER SHOULD CONSIDER GIVING SOFIA A GOOD RAISE! SHE IS AMAZING!!

Snow falling gel mani by Vicki
Amy V.

Vickie is so great. My nails last for 3 weeks every time I get dip. She is very talented. Friendly also does a good pedicure. Get the callus remover, you will leave with smooth feet.

1 month post mani, still shiny and intact. And LONG

These are probably the best Gel nails I have ever gotten done in my entire life. I don't say that lightly. These have lasted AN ENTIRE MONTH. Of course they're looking a little worn, but I have never had gel builder nails last this long, make my nails this thick, and not chip until literally yesterday. I came in on a Sunday and was about 10 minutes late for my appointment, so i'm thinking my wait time was affected by that, but even so, I did have to wait about an hour and and half to finally get seen by someone and even then, they left me unattended for way longer than necessary while soaking my nails. Their shop was BUSY, which is a good sign, even if annoying lol. I had complained to the tech that the last shop I went to charged me to cut my cuticle and didn't tell me til the end; this shop did the exact same thing to me, plus charged to take off my last polish, so that is what resulted in a 4/5 stars. Since having to find a new shop in the past 6 months, i've noticed most places in this part of Costa Mesa do this, so I might have to find a place outside of here where I won't get charged for my cuticle, which is literally part of a manicure... Paid around $55 including tip for the most durable gel builder manicure i've ever gotten. The extra $10 dollars miiiight just be worth it. Will definitely come back in the future.

Acrylic Powder dip with bling

Highly recommend Sofia for nails, she's super professional, sweet, If you show her a picture of what you want, she will do all she can to copy it the best she can. She was so detailed and friendly. She told me what would work best so that my nails last longer. She did an amazing job. I got a pedicure, and it was so relaxing.

Gel manicure

Enjoyed my day off by getting a gel manicure by Connie. She was so sweet and we had a great conversation. I will definitely be back soon to see her! Hard to find a place that does a good job and has great conversation. Linda did my cousins nails. She did a great job as well. Everyone here is so nice. They followed Covid procedures and made us feel safe. Can't wait to come back and chat.

Formerly OC Waxing, Bare is still the same business. The Costa Mesa location is on a Main Street so…read morethere's not always front parking but they have a small lot in the back. Decent prices and clean facility. I have gone here for my lady parts a handful of times and it's been a great experience. I have been waxing for awhile so I can't speak to newbies who want feedback on pain. Just so you know the first few times are uncomfortable. If you have a high pain tolerance you're good. If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.

But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

BOOK WITH TERESA!…read more Super new to waxing and was extremely nervous and hesitant. I wasn't even planning to book an appointment, but I get my lashes done next-door.. I was walking by and Teresa happened to be outside and I had a few minutes to kill so I decided to ask her a couple questions that I was curious about. Instantly, I could tell she was extremely knowledgeable and very professional and kind! I felt extremely comfortable and ended up booking an appointment for the same day. Crazy! My appointment was as smooth as butter. She was so sweet and kept the conversation flowing so I wasn't even thinking about what was going on and kept the pain very minimal. To say she is literally an angel is an understatement. I highly highly recommend her and checking out this salon if you are new to waxing or looking for someone that can literally make you feel at ease. Cleanliness was top-notch! The space is very welcoming and kept at a super cool temperature. Just wow. Simply, thank you Teresa. See you in 4 weeks!

First time to this salon, not first time to the services…read more Location: The place is very clean, from the bathroom, the room, work station, everything is clean. Peaceful ambiance. Plenty of parking in that shopping center. Customer service: Excellent. Front desk: I started making my appointment online and I stopped. After a while a got a text asking if they could help me. From there, until I got to the salon, Presley was so nice, helpful, and made everything in her power to make sure I had the best experience. Esthetician: The service I requested was waxing. Jenna was so nice, very professional, has an entertaining and pleasant conversation, her vibe makes you feel comfortable. Price: Fair. They have specials, promotions, and memberships available too.

Sorry! Easy to scan and fill out consent forms online and the place was beautiful and the ambiance was amazing. We were brought back right away and since this was our first time and my daughter's first time ever getting a spray tan. Erin was super friendly and so sweet and put my daughter at ease because she was extremely nervous! Erin was very thorough with instructions and to prepare her and she was amazing at her work! I would highly recommend this place and my daughter will definitely be back because she felt comfortable. Great pricing and great service!
