    Pointer and middle finger chipped after less than a week

    My appointment was back in October but I'm writing the review now after consultation with my doctor. My nails chipped within less than half a week of my appointment for hard gel nails. However, the reason I'm writing the review is because I got contact dermatitis from my nails. Within the week of me getting my nails done at the salon for the first time (the only notable change in my routine) I started getting rashes on my face which spread to my neck and arms. In the beginning I thought it was eczema (I've never had eczema but I thought it was a change in weather) so I was just trying to find a way to treat it. These rashes lasted over two weeks and after recent follow up consultation with my doctor I think it's contact dermatitis from gel nails not being properly applied or cured. I usually don't leave reviews because of bad service but I think this can be a scary situation that even took me a while to find the root of.

    I'm moving out of the area and am so sad to leave my nail technician Cassandra. She is the best and I am always satisfied with my nails done by her. Will miss going here to get my nails done!

    I honestly never write reviews, but Nick and Dina absolutely deserve one. They are truly amazing. From the moment we walked in, they were so accommodating, gentle, and kind. Their attention to detail is incredible -- everything is done with such care, precision, and thoughtfulness. What really stood out to me was how sweet and patient they were with our baby, who we had with us during our appointment. Not once did we feel uncomfortable or rushed. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt relaxed and taken care of, which means so much as parents. If you're looking for a new nail salon, I highly recommend this place. Nick and Dina are talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful people. We won't be going anywhere else!

    This is the first time I got my nails done other than regular polish and had the best experience! Got a gel-X design set done by Kenji and it looks so good. He was unsure if he could do the watercolor design I was asking for, and said he would do his best. Let me tell you, he absolutely killed it! He's so chill and fun to talk to as well. The staff there is so nice and accommodating. Definitely will come back after this set grows out!

    Nick did a great job on my nails, he did exactly what I asked for and took his time. I highly recommend him for anything.

    this happy nails is so great!! they do an amazing job every time!! i have a bad habit of picking my nails so the gel x can come off easy. if one falls of, they replace it for free every time amazing service!! highly recommend!!

    I loved this place! I'm super picky about nail techs because most of them are too rough for me but Thai is the best. Super gentle and he works to make sure I get the color I want. Went back to him a second time and the service was even better!! Pics of both sets he did

    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.

    Went in for a play boy 3 different times here. I got good results the first time I came here, I got…read morea play boy done by Linda. 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 .
