They did my pedicure and it was fabulous!!! They take their time and the CBD pedicure was really relaxing.

Let's just say that i have never had my nails done better anywhere else!!! The chairs are so comfortable that you can fall asleep while getting your nails done. The products that are used are top quality and last at least 4 weeks. I'm just sad that it's an hour away from me but definitely worth the drive!! read more

What can I say about this place? I used to go to their location in Villa Park but followed Chelsea over to this location. Her work on my manicures is always top notch, and not too mention she is always happy and friendly. Bubbly. Personable. The pedicures are also top notch, and you truly get what you pay for there with the pedicures. Chelsea is my manicurist, but I don't have a set person for my pedicure. Every pedicurist I've gotten has been like Chelsea - happy and friendly. Bubbly. Personable. The vibes of the establishment - despite it being in Newport Beach - is not even slightly snooty. Everyone is so warm and welcoming, even someone like me, dressed like its Halloween all year, and the staff make me feel like I belong. read more

I had the most terrible experience with Tia today. She was rude very arrogant argumentative she made fun of me with another client sitting on the other side of my daughter. I asked her to be gentle I have a sensitive nail bad she said it would take her to much time. I was in pain most of the time she worked on me. I will never go back again. I still can't believe i tipped for treating me so bad. Disappointing i asked to speak to a manager.... hours have passed...still no call read more

Tia is the best! I told her I need something not like my basic norm. It's a gel-x overlay, my real nails, but the sliver lining is beautiful! Thank you Tia#glonails read more

Very nice place, kinda of expensive though! I got a gel pedicure with a regular manicure. My mom got a gel pedicure. Quality is nice for the gel pedicures! My pedicure is still on after we got our toes painted in mid-August! read more

I've tried Glo 3 times, and right away, the nails looks great, but all three times I've gone here, my gel has chipped within a week, then because of the chip, it continues to peel off very easily. It's upsetting too, because you pay extra for gel, hoping it will last long. First time was a manicure, second and third time were pedicures. It sucks cause the pedicures are AMAZING. They feel great, include great stuff, and I love them, but ALL three times, my gel has chipped and peeled off so easily :( I gave it three times, hoping maybe it was my error or just a random bad time, but it kept happening I'm not sure why this happens. I would love to keep going here, but that's my reason for stopping :/ Other then that, the service and everything is good, just am not happy with the longevity and quality of the gel polish. read more

Thank you to Tracy and Nancy for seeing me today. I flew in from the Bay Area at the last night, and they both made time to see me. I love the cat eye nail color! Thank you again. read more

Bummer experience as I had high hopes for this place. They barely touched my nails when they were cleaning them up. I don't even think I felt the cuticle stick. The foot massage was so light, I asked them to stop early. It felt icky. The lady doing my pedicure was sick and coughing the whole time. And when they polished my nails, they started so far up from my cuticles. They will grow out in a week and ill need another manicure. To top it off, it was $125! No thanks read more

Love GLO Nail Bar! This is definitely a place to get pampered and relax a bit. Opted for a manicure/pedicure today. This place is very lush and beautiful inside. You feel like quite the fancy pants while getting your service without being toooo boujee! They start by offering you a complimentary beverage--including alcohol if you so should choose. I love the pedicure has soooooo many options. From different scents and essentials oils, treatments, etc. Opted for the GLO men's pedicure which included a mint soak, everything else a pedicure would include and a peppermint scrub and hot stone massage. My feet felt so soft and awesome after. We upgraded to the honey almond manicure. I have a bad habit of sometimes picking my nails, so I keep them pretty short. But the manicurist sharped them so nicely and the scrub was super nice and my hands are so soft. This place is a tiny bit more, but the service and quality are well worth it. read more

This is my 2nd time coming here. I was referred by a friend. Christina has done my nails the times I've been here, and she is the best. She does the best gel layover! read more

This Salon has been my 'go-to' over the past few years. I've tried a few different nail techs, and most of them do a pretty decent job (Gel mani and Pedi). You do have to schedule about a week out, but that's pretty standard at most salons. They have a decent selection of colors to chose from and most of the time offer you a beverage. I knocked off one star because the Pedicure chairs are pretty uncomfortable. They're stiff, prefabricated and no way to adjust the back rests. Also, i wish the nail techs would keep the conversations between themselves to a minimum when working on clients - it's not a relaxing environment. read more

so this review is actually long overdue- i've been coming to this mediocre establishment mainly out of convenience and a couple of better than usual experiences...but today will definitely be my last! I had a gel x done here, my nails looked like crap... so after spending $250 i complained. Every time I come I often leave feeling ripped off for what i'm getting but I understand that I live in a high end area and so they tax u- Today I came in for them to re-do my crap job and basically I was then told it was my own crappy nails that made her set look bad. Pls (shaking my head) ! Re-do the job simply to continue getting 250 out of me no? no instead they decided to play the blame game and that was it for me- CRAP customer service and I will NEVER return- I feel better already! read more

GLO Nail Bar - crap job - Nail Salons Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I am a person with long acrylic nails who is willing to pay a premium for an exquisite, flashy design. This is absolutely not the place to do so. This location is suitable for mani's/ pedi's with gel. The price I paid for a mediocre design is the same price I would have paid at my customary location for a design with more benefits and more wow factor. I visited this establishment because a trusted associate recommended it. I would say that the staff is pleasant and the accommodation is adequate, but the prices and design quality are mismatched. The price appears to reflect the real estate and the décor rather than the quality of the nail art. I don't mind if my nails are done in a clean garage as long as the design is appropriate for the money. This is not the place to go if you have long nails with a trendy design. honey! NEVER COMING HERE!! read more

We were in there today and my mom and aunt had pedicures which turned out amazing. However my aunt and I had manicures with Demi. She was absolutely outstanding. She's so kind, knows what she's doing and did a phenomenal job. We'll definitely be back because we love this place and will be asking for Demi for sure. Thank you for the wonderful time and beautiful nails & feet. read more

This is a slightly more expensive spa-like nail spot but my experience has been pretty consistently great so it feels worth it. I'm not someone with fancy acrylic of gel nails or nail art so you wouldn't think this place would be for me. The thing is I absolutely love all of the pedicure options. Are you looking for a certain vibe, like relaxing? then I would recommend the chamomile pedicure as it is perfect and has a little bit of extra massage time. There are so many others. It's become hard to choose, but you really have an opportunity to figure out what you're going for whether it's callus removal or scrub or paraffin. They also frequently have seasonal specials, which are always worth checking out. It feels clean and nice while you're there. I'm not the best at planning ahead so occasionally because it's popular I have trouble getting a time on a day that I want, but that's my fault. For me, I can pop into Bristol Farm after on my walk home and grab some groceries. if you're inclined, you can also hop in and grab some sprinkles cupcakes or visit any of the stores and restaurants in this plaza. If you are feeling like a little splurge and a custom pedicure I would recommend. read more

I use to go to Glo nail bar years ago and recently started getting my nails done here again. The acrylic I was getting done before made my nails thin. So I tried powder dip and that was even worse. My natural nails were chipping so bad! All of them ! 2 of my nails were so bad that I had half a nail left. ( I would share a photo but I don't want to gross you out ) So I went to Glo and they introduced me to Gel X. Wow what a game changer! When they remove my nails for a new set I'm amazed by how strong and healthy my nails look now. I'm so grateful for Glo they are so professional, sanitary, and the salon is beautiful read more

the service was nice, the nail salon itself is very clean. however if you are getting acrylics be warned the price is not as listed online. it is highly unusual however gel does not come automatically with an acrylic set, it is an extra $20. I decided I was already too far into my nail appointment to not get the gel. the gel itself is cheep and highly disappointing, after only having my nails for 11 days the gel already had chipped off and peeled, now after having my nails for 17 days the top coat is completely missing off some nails. I would not recommend going to this salon if you plan on receiving a gel service. read more

Had a fantastic time! Went with my husband!! Friendly vibe and fun staff! Would highly recommend!

Don't come here looking wealthy they will target you and charge you more than stated online. They tried to charge me three times the amount stated. $60 for a simple nail removal. No length no charms no rhinestones. Nothing but polish. After watching someone in front of me be charged $20 for the same exact service... this is actually insane behavior. Money hungry establishment with nothing to offer but mediocre service. There is a reason i only ever got a nail removal and not a new set.... Terrible work. read more

Always a good job on my nails . Perfect and they last. love the atmosphere and location as well.

Beautiful place. Great experience. My daughters and granddaughters had a great time. Be prepared- it is pricey!

In the past 20 years I've been to so many different nail salons. Not often do I frequent the same nail salon because I am picky! Most places do an "ok" job, but cindy and monica from glo nail bar surpasses my expectations. I came in for a gel mani and pedi to get ready for my sister's wedding and I am so thrilled that I came here. My Mani- I've expressed my concerns to cindy regarding how unhappy I've been from other nail salons due to the fact that they never clean my cuticles well and my nails are usually missing polish from the sides. Cindy listened and addressed all of my concerns. She was personable, thorough and so meticulous with her work. She didnt rushed the job like most places I've been to and my nails looked absolutely amazing! Probably the best gel manicure I've had in a very long time. I can't stop looking them :) The results speaks for itself. My pedi- monica is a sweetie and super gentle with my feet. So gentle that I almost forgot I was getting a pedicure! My not-so cute toes looked sooo nice when she was done. I highly reccomend this place and will definitely be back! I can't believe that I've finally found my go-to nail salon. read more

I came by appointment and recommendation of my girl friend who happens to work at this location and has been trying to get me to go for quite some time now. Book her, Priscilla V if you are in the area she will bless you! She did not do my nails this time however, she booked me with Chelsea who did a wonderful job on my first Gel X extensions. They lasted me almost four weeks even with me being someone who washes their hair quite often. And being someone who despises the occasional loss of a nail because of it - as a press-on girly. She was quick, professional and experienced in her craft clearly, which I appreciate. They even offer a separate lounge-like area to allow a little privacy for just you or you and your girls! Based on my experience, I would definitely return but for a pedicure next as that is their signature service and I can totally see why. My expectations of a nail spa have definitely elevated thanks to GLO. read more

Got a last minute appointment with Chelsea for an acrylic fill and gel polish. She does a great job. I love giving her an idea and saying go for it. I have yet to be disappointed when she does my nails. Today was my patriotic set. read more

All the ladies work hard to provide what you request. My recommendation is to be very clear about what you want at the time of booking your appointment. Not all the ladies know how to do designs, or repairs of gel x. The salon is clean and has been kept up well. I have been coming to this location since they opened several years ago. A few of my regular nail techs have left, so now the challenge is to find a good match! So happy that Glo survived the Covid closure and is back to business! read more

This is an update to my previous comment. The owner reached out and refunded me. She did offer to make it right with another pedicure, but I turned it down as I will more than likely lose the toe nail. However, I am satisfied with the refund and appreciate the promptness of response to my feedback. That's why I am updating my stars and review. Good luck with the business and thank you read more

They didn't have any time for me at all on 2:30 in the afternoon on Thursday. I saw they had empty chairs. It says more about them than it does about me. I wont be back. The girl in the front should consider fixing her little cow piercing too. read more

Nice place overall, came with the wife a few times. It is definitely expensive which we don't mind as long as the quality is there. I do think they nickel and dime you to death though on things that should pretty much be included with their higher prices. I get simple treatments done, but the wife gets charged separately for a lot of the usual process when doing those type of nails. Like I said it's still a nice place, but I think they could calm down on all the separate little fees for every single thing you'd expect them to do or include in the service. I've only experienced that here, never anywhere else, even in New York and Europe. read more

This is a review for Chelsea. Got a Gel X Fill and this awesome nail art. As always Chelsea does outstanding work! I've been going to Glo for a number of years, have never been disappointed by anyone working there (yes, even including the receptionists) but Chelsea is my go-to and has been for a while. They all do a fantastic job, highly recommended any of their locations as all three locations are filled with very talented people. read more
