    Disappointing experience Last week I went in for an ombré dip powder manicure. The technician suggested doing the base with dip powder and finishing with gel. Even though I've had ombré dip powder many times before, I agreed. The result didn't look like an ombré, so it was redone as a gel French over a dip base. I was still charged for a dip refill and only received a $5 discount after mentioning my concern. The next day my thumbnail chipped. It was fixed, but a couple of days later the same nail and another finger chipped again, and the rest are wearing at the tips. I work an office job, so this was disappointing. Overall, the quality didn't meet my expectations. Just wish they had let me know upfront if this service wasn't possible.

    My previous review and loyalty

    Stay Away From This Place -- Especially Tara and the front desk lady! I've been a loyal customer at this location for years, but it's clear they no longer care about respect, professionalism, or customer value. I was told I could come anytime between 4-6 PM, with 6 being the last appointment. I specifically said I'd arrive around 5:30 so I could soak my hands and feet longer, since they always rush and end up hurting my dry skin. After being stuck in traffic for an hour, I still made it by 6 PM. I even tried calling several times, but no one answered. When I arrived, they simply turned me away. Tara claimed she had another appointment -- which was clearly not true. What's worse is how rude and dismissive they were. They made discriminatory comments, saying they were "not comfortable" taking me(10 years old customer) and they constantly speak in their own language around customers -- which is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. and then told me they don't take walk-ins. That's a complete lie, because their Yelp page clearly says "Walk-ins Welcome." On top of that, they've used photos of my hands and feet without my permission in their service menu. That's completely unacceptable, and I won't stay quiet about it. This place has lost all professionalism, honesty, and basic courtesy. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually values and respects you.

    After charging me $7 to remove the gel from my nails that ruined my nails within three days, the gel is STILL there!

    I went to Happy Nails & Spa after work and Tara did my nails. She was so kind and gentle and asked me what I wanted, I told her and she did an amazing job! I love my cat eyes nails! Thank you Tara! I'm happy I found my new nail tech. Howie was very nice as well. Great customer service !

    staff forced me to pay even though I was bleeding.

    The worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon! The manicurist was so careless that I was bleeding. He didn't apologize, took no responsibility, and had no regard for the safety of his clients. I was shocked and angry because this is my body and a nail salon like this would never experiment on me like this. I was in so much pain, they took no responsibility, and even laughed at me. Don't come to this salon, everyone!!!!!!!!! they still ask me to pay and don't take action and Laugh at me they thing it funny? 105dollar for this service really? no one say sorry to me and still laugh everyone please don't go this place very bad the most in my life I've been to many places to get my nails done and I've never encountered such a bad situation like this before

    Finally found my go-to nail spot! I went to Howie after reading several good reviews about her. She was beyond kind and accommodating. The service is both friendly and efficient. Love my nails and can't wait to return.

    This salon is in my neighborhood and I only come here when my salon is booked. Well...I now may be a frequent customer because of Lena. I told her that my gel manicure always starts to lift at the base of my nail after a couple of days. She explained it is due to applying the gel polish too thick at the base and she's glad that I brought it to her attention. I know it's premature for a 5 star update, but my manicure not only looks great, but feels great too! I absolutely recommend booking an appointment with Lena for manicures!

First I would like to say every member of their staff were the friendliest people I have ever encountered. Every single employee was so easy to talk with, they all seemed genuinely happy to be there. Overhearing conversations around the room everyone seemed to be wee engaged with their customers. I don't usually get my nails done because in the past I have so awkward, but that was not the case here. Their kindness has made me want to consistently get my nails done by them. The service came out beautifully, my tech made great suggestions since I wasn't really sure what I wanted. I felt so relaxed after, the leg massage was WONDERFUL, my feet looked beautiful and the experience truly made my day better. Also I went into labor 4 hours later, so maybe pedicures really do induce labor. My labor and delivery nurse said my toes look BEAUTIFUL also! I look forward to getting to return here!

    This was unfortunately one of the most stressful and disappointing nail salon experiences I've had…read more Prior to arriving, I checked their online booking portal and noticed they had availability every 15 minutes starting at 1 PM through the end of the day, so I assumed they had room for their classic mani-pedi combo. My previous nail salon in Mission Viejo would block off unavailable times online, so I genuinely thought they had availability. When I arrived, they told me they could do the pedicure, but the manicure would depend on time. Which is fine, I understand and respect their availability. While they were setting up the pedicure station, they rushed me to pick a color, barely giving me more than 2 minutes before telling me to just sit down and saying I can pick later. For context, I only wanted a basic regular polish mani-pedi -- no gel, acrylics, extensions, or nail art. Just regular polish, shaping, and shaping. They handed me a gel sample book to choose from, I asked if these were the colors on the wall, and they confirmed it wasn't because they don't make sample books for regular polish. So the book was pointless... I normally do a shiny silver color on my toes, so I asked if they had something similar and was basically told "I don't know. Whatever we have is on the wall." I said I'd like to quickly look at the wall myself and if they didn't have something similar, I'd just go with white. As soon as I sat down for my pedicure, another technician came over to start my manicure, so naturally I assumed both services were being done (great!) She asked for my desired length and shape, and I requested oval. Less than 5 minutes into the manicure, I noticed my nails were being cut and shaped unevenly and nothing like what I asked for. When I politely pointed it out, she proceeded to say in Vietnamese to her coworker (I'm Vietnamese and understood everything) that I was being difficult and that she was going to help another client instead... About 10 minutes after she walked away, I was told they no longer had time to do my manicure anymore -- which left me disappointed considering they had already chopped off my nails and left them unfinished and half filed. I asked if they could at least file my nails evenly since they had already cut them, and while they agreed, my nails are better, but still uneven across the board. The most frustrating part was that while my hands were occupied, the pedicure technician just started painting my toes white without confirming the color with me or letting me go back to the wall to look. Ironically, when I went to pay, I found the exact silver color I had originally been looking for. Overall, I left feeling rushed, dismissed, and stressed out instead of relaxed. I don't normally leave reviews, but I wanted to share my honest experience.
