Michelle spent a lot of time on my feet carefully tending to each nail until it was perfect. Guys don't get pedicures normally but I do it for foot health. My feet always seem healthier after. This shop has a lot of Vietnamese conversations going on about customers and coworkers and hours and reputations so if you want a quiet, relaxing experience, you might need to go somewhere else. But if you want a pedicure from someone who has 10 years of experience and takes pride in her work, bring your AirPods and ask for Michelle. read more

I used to only go here for a pedicure but during winter break I needed to get my nails done for a trip. I usually go to the nail salon near my work in LA but I didn't have time and decided to give this place a try. I asked for Sunny and she did my nails. I got the gel x and they lasted over 4 weeks! The previous salon I used to go to my acrylics or gel x would only last 1.5 weeks and then start lifting. I went back recently to get the dip powder on my natural nails and they turned out exactly as what I was looking for. Sunny is so good at doing designs and listening to what you want. She's a perfectionist too! I got so many compliments on my nails. I am so happy to have found a salon that does a great job and is so close to home! read more

I just moved to Brea about a week ago, and I desperately wanted a self-care moment after all the unpacking. They took me as a walk-in at about 3 PM on a Friday, and I couldn't be more grateful. I requested a gel mani-pedi with hand/ foot massage and callus removal. The staff was polite and efficient. The atmosphere was casual with fun Youtube clips playing in the background. I felt so refreshed by the end of it. I haven't gotten a true mani-pedi in at least a year, so this was MUCH needed!! I felt like a brand new person leaving the nail salon! I will definitely be coming back. read more

This is my second time coming to this nail salon and it definitely will not be my last. I live right down the street, I love how convenient the location is. Each time I have come, all staff is very friendly, polite and makes me feel right at home. Most importantly, they are gentle. They make sure to take their time and that you are satisfied. Their end results are always beautiful and I am left feeling so refreshed! read more

Sunny is a very talented professional I highly recommend. I have never been disappointed.

Wonderful service! First time visit and they took me as a walk in. Sunny did a beautiful job and was so kind. Highly recommend!

I love coming here. Decent prices, and Sunny always does a great job. Her work is clean, detailed and she's friendly. I always have great conversations with her. It's best to get an appointment with her since she's the only one who does the nail designs. read more

Hands down the best nail salon i have ever been too. Quality work, amazing designs, extremely clean. Sunny is incredible. Highly recommend.

Literally told me to leave because she didn't think her 'new' worker could do my nails. She said I had been there 3x previously which is not true, I had been there 2x. She claims I wasn't happy with their service. If I wasn't I wouldn't have returned, however, there was an issue with their polish not giving the color it presented but that was not my fault. She turned me away. Super rude. read more

So coming here after living nearby is a connivence but only if you come early. The times are not super flexible or stay open late. Ive called and they have been closed on non holiday days earlier than the time online. I do love the hospitality in the times I been here before but the quality of service is good once you have gone in. They do a good job for being a small shop but I think the times and scheduling aren't the most common. I also believe all pricing should be included on the menu when taking care of things for the client. they are all nice and it is clean in here. If you call and stay super ahead. This place is for you. read more

Today marks 2 weeks of having my gel x nails on and I have had 3 nails come completely off!.I needed them done and was in the area and decided to give this place a try.Its unacceptable that i have had to go out to buy glue to glue my own nails back because it seems like super young lady who did them didnt do it right. read more

Great local salon without any frills. Ladies here are kind and sincere. They take walk-ins as well, convenient for me, as usually a last minute decision to get my nails done. Great nail polish color options to choose from. read more

I came here when my regular salon was closed and I needed a pedicure. I ended up getting a fill too and returning as I was very pleased that my nails did not lift and looked great! read more

While visiting California, one of the things that I wanted to get was pedicure/manicure. Yeah, I could get it done where I lived, but they aren't that good. Call and make a reservation, as this place got busy. I opted for the 2nd option on the menu for both pedicure/manicure. Total was $65 - $64 for the service and $1 for credit card processing. I didn't get the ladies name, but she was really good!! If I revisit California and in the area, definitely would revisit and ask for her! read more

I've been coming to hug nails for a little over a year now, and each time I go I always leave happy. It's a small hole in the wall nail place, and could be easily missed, but I truly believe they should be more recognized as they're super sanitary and friendly. Their pricing for a pedicure is honestly the best I've seen for the basic one. It comes with a 5 min massage, and they exfoliate you and they have a nice touch of adding lemon or orange to the exfoliation process. Sunny and her team are always so kind. I personally love Michelle and Helen! They always get my pedicure right. read more

You need to call Sunny now. I don't get my nails done often but decided, on a very risky whim, to make an appointment with Sunny to get my nails done for my wedding. I put my all my faith in her and OMG did she deliver. She took her time even though I was her last customer of the day. She truly creates art on your 10 little fingers. I will say, I was not impressed with my pedicure as much (done by a different person), but Sunny makes up for it with her work. read more

I like how clean this salon is. I had a bad experience with an infection at another salon. One of the reasons I chose to come to Hug Nails is that I see that they are very careful to be hygienic. They go above and beyond to make sure that their tools are clean and sterile. I am also always happy with the work. It's a win-win! read more

Great service and Sunny does amazing designs on nails! Mani & pedi's are also great there.

The salon had another name prior to the new ownership. But the new owner is beyond great. Sunny does an amazing job and very detailed. She also is very accommodating with appointments. Also, Michelle is amazing for pedicures. You won't be disappointed You can also check more of Sunnys work on IG. IG Handle: sunny_t_nails read more

Sadly, I would not recommend this place EVER. I had been in a couple of times for a gel manicure because it's close to work. I had felt like the technicians were a little heavy handed when filing off gel polish but I was in a pinch. Last week, the technician almost filed right through my nail bed with the electric drill. When I pulled back in pain and showed the damage to another technician, she agreed it had been filed way too much, almost to the point of bleeding through. I asked for the other technician to complete my service and was charged full price for the manicure. I later called back and asked to speak to the manager, left a message and have never received a call back. read more

Wanted to update that my dip manicure lasted over 3 weeks! And I only had 1 chip today on day 22 because I was picking at it. This time I came in without an appointment hoping to get Sunny but she was busy so Kathy helped me and by golly she is amazing! This may be my favorite manicure yet (in the history of all of my manicures, not just at Hug). I just told her I wanted a clear pink natural Mani and she she delivered! I also got a pedicure this time by Michelle and also amazing. I'm convinced that I won't be doing to any other nail salon. read more

Ok so ladies we know we take pride in our nails and cant and/or won't let just anyone do them. I stepped away from my dedicated nail shop and dropped by to see Sunny. First of all she's sweet as hell, patient and she does nails w passion. I'm very satisfied and will be back... read more

I love love love this nail salon! They do SUCH a great job here. Very thorough. I bartend 3/4 days a week, and my gel manicure has lasted for over 2 weeks with no chips or peeling. That has never ever happened to me before because we hand wash all of our glassware and it generally destroys my hands and nails. My gel pedi looks completely perfect except for natural grow out. Pics below for proof :) read more

I travel from Long Beach every two weeks just to get my nails done at Hug Nails in Brea. I love this place, it's very clean, the staff are all very nice, and I love that their services always have an extra special touch, like flowers in their trays, the use of herbal scents, adding mint to their scrubs. The pedicures are more like spa treatments then just a regular pedicure. Sunny is amazingly talented, I love how creative she is and how much attention she gives to details. She takes her time and makes sure you love your nails plus she's super sweet and very focused on cleanliness and making sure all the equipment is properly sterilized. Tommy is also great for a pedicure, his foot massages are so awesome. I highly recommended Hug Nails. read more

Hug Nails - Thanksgiving/Fall nails - Nail Technicians Near Me - Brea, California

Sunny T is very skilled in applying acrylic, she is the manager and I believe she should have remedy the matter by fixing the acrylic, which would have taken her a couple of seconds in the end she did, but the situation gets worse. When I called Sunny T to get some help she proceeded to tend to her client. By this point I felt unseen, unheard and a little taken aback that no urgency was provided. I had been there for 3 hours, missed picking my daughter up from school. I called out to Sunny T, and I asked for her help again. The client that Sunny T was tending to was a Caucasian female. The Caucasian woman told me to chill out and said, I had been bullying them since she got there. I slightly raised my voice and asked the women to stop talking to me. I was having a bad experience and her engaging in the matter with no resolution would make matters worse. Guess what? Things were escalated Sunny T called the Brea Police Department on me, Sunny T handed the phone to the Caucasian women and she talked to the police. Not once did I get out of my seat, or do anything to have the police called on me by the way I am a Black Woman I feel like this should mentioned to bring perspective to this horrible experience and story. The Caucasian woman kept antagonizing me in front of the staff and other clients. I asked her with my voice raised to stop talking to me several times. The police arrived as the Caucasian women was leaving, she flagged the police down and spoke with them. Please bear in mind that I am still in the nail salon, and Sunny T is fixing the acrylic on my pinky toe by this time. If I posed as a threat, why would I still be in the nail salon, moreover why would Sunny T still provide any service. I was kind, very patient throughout this process and that didn't help. Sunny T spoke with officer and then him and I spoke. Even the officer said, you don't appear to be angry and I wasn't angry. I just wanted to receive good service for the money and time spent that's it. The officer was very cool about the matter, I understood and heard. However let's understand that this matter could've played out differently and more importantly it is scary how oblivious people such as Sunny T and that Caucasian women can be to call the police on me especially during the challenging times we are living in with injustice and racism. I am thankful the officer was calm and understanding, because this situation could've turned out differently. African American people get killed by police everyday in our bed, being pulled over etc. read more

I've been going to this nail salon for almost a year now! Sunny always does dip on my nails and she is amazing at designs! And I love the rest of the girls who do my pedis too! They are always friendly, professional, and do a fantastic job. In response to another woman's 1-star review: I went in today and was unfortunately involved in an incident with this customer. I observed this woman berate Sunny and the staff for the two hours I was there. I finally had enough and told her to chill out because she was being unnecessarily rude. So much so that she made a staff member cry and that is just not ok. It escalated quickly when the woman proceeded to verbally threaten me and raise her voice. The police were called because this woman would not calm down. She then proceeded to talk bad about the staff and myself for the remainder of my service. The police arrived as I was leaving so I don't know what happened after that. All I can say is Sunny and the staff were so calm and professional throughout the entire ordeal and strived to fix this lady's ridiculous complaints even after the police were called. Kuddos to the staff for handling this issue so gracefully. read more

Worst experience of my life! I went here the first time and experience was decent ... why did I come a second time I couldn't even get hot water to soak my feet in. i was forced to get a premium pedicure when I only wanted basic. All while nail tech was lazy as if she didn't wanna be there. Owner was rude and basically told me I could leave for no reason at all I basically felt she didn't want my business because I was BLACK! All I asked was can I please get a pedicure with hot water and couldn't be accommodated and had to be embarrassed because now I look like I'm causing problems cause I can't get the bare minimum. Not to mention when she was doing my pedicure they kept laughing while she was working. I don't like the disrespect, and if it was joke that was meant to be funny let everybody here it. Never going here again and don't recommend at all to anyone. read more

Staff was nice but the design on my mail looked nothing like the picture I showed. And I was pushed to do gel when I truly didn't want to spend that much. Won't be returning. read more

I LITERALLY walked out with my nails/fingers looking like this! I am so disappointed that I want to cry. It looks worse than when I went in! They didn't even make sure my nails were dry before I walked out and my cuticles are worse than before! I think my 4 year old daughter does a better job. Whatever oil they used for the 'massage' got all over my car because they didn't wipe it off of my arms. I even had the paraffin wax still on my hands as I was leaving. The towels they used had stains on them so I didn't even trust it from the beginning. I will never go back. Oh! And the lady said my total was $58 but charged my card $59!!! WTF! read more

My fiancé and I just moved to Brea about a month ago. I am currently 6 months pregnant and was just looking for a nice pedicure with a spa feeling touch to it. First pro is that this place is very close to home! The ladies there are very friendly and least to say accommodating. I called and asked if they would take me in, I had no appt and was seen right away. The older sweet lady did an amazing job at my pedicure. I got the $32 pedicure that comes with all kinds of good stuff. Being that my feet are swollen and just tired, it really hit the spot. Then I decided I wanted a manicure with gel. A nice young lady did my manicure and she did an amazing job as well! My cuticles are super clean and my natural nails are looking sharp! Super pleased with the service and at a pretty reasonable price. Look no more, ladies and gents. These ladies know how to deliver:) thank you! read more

I've had my nails done at Hug Nails for a few years now. Sunny has created her great work with dip nails and performs quality service. I highly recommend dip nails because the color lasts longer and doesn't chip like gel nails. Sunny makes sure I'm happy with the work . The ladies who work here are humble and kind. If I wanted a different shape of nails or have a concern, I provide feedback. Great value and I recommend this location. My daughter and I love visiting Hug nails read more

My nails looked really good afterwards but she clipped the sides of my nails way to close to my middle finger and cut me and now it's been 2 weeks and I have a infected pus filled scab on my finger and had to go on antibiotics... not trying to be a hater because they were really nice people but my finger is fucked up lol read more
