    Beautiful job done by Cindy
    Kate K.

    Cindy is the best. So talented and accommodating. I had an emergency need for nails to be done the night before a last minute booked trip. Everywhere was closed! She so kindly stayed past closing time to give me a manicure and pedicure and did such an excellent job! I love her friendly, funny personality and will definitely be coming back! Thank you Cindy!

    Been going to this nail salon for almost a year now. I love Cindy she's so funny and sweet and straightforward person. She does take her time and does a great job as always. I asked her to this yin yang nails and it came out amazing !!! Definitely recommend coming here.

    Found this little gem after work on a Wednesday! My friend and I came around 5:30pm for a gel mani and regular pedi. Cindy is an absolute magician! She is super sweet and an absolute joy to chat with. Happily answered any of our questions about her services, speaks the truth, and even helped fix my friend's broken nail, as well as some dips in my nails. Was a great way to spend my evening after a stressful day at work. Super happy with the quality of my manicure and pedicure. Cindy is precise, experienced, and just lovely. Can't wait to return. Too bad it'll be 3 weeks until I get to hang out with this amazing woman again!

    I'm came here about 14 days ago with my best friend, and now I've bought my mother to K D Nails to meet Cindy an wonderful, caring person. As I treat my mother for her birthday All ladies come on down to K D nails Costa Mesa

    I came here for a pedi today and I was impressed by the results. My cousin got her eyebrows waxed here and she liked the way her eyebrows looked afterwards. A really cute older Vietnamese women works here. She's very kind and very friendly. I recommend this place for the quality of work and the customer service.

    I'm sad to not be able to give a 5 star review because I really enjoyed Cindy. She was funny, personable and seemed to like to connect to her clients. My 3 stars are based off of how much I enjoyed having my nails done by her. Unfortunately though, I have to dock stars because the work just didn't match up. I had my acrylics removed and a gel manicure applied to replace the acrylics. Although she was very good and gentle when taking off my acrylics, the gel paint she applied afterward didn't even last a week before they started chipping and peeling off. For $20+ I would hope they would last a little while longer. I've never had gel chip or peel before. I had my toe's painted with normal polish and they have lasted MUCH longer and were FAR less expensive. Unfortunately, I will still be on the look out for my new "nail girl". (First picture was taken the day I had my nails done. The last 3 pictures were taken a week later) *It's currently not allowing me to add pictures, but I will update as soon as possible*

    I love Cindy she's so fun to talk to and always does an amazing job! She has low prices and is a really good mail artist I highly recommend!

    Cindy is the best nail tech I have been to in Costa Mesa! She makes sure you leave with the perfect set of nails and is such a kind hearted woman. The salon is small, so I would recommend calling ahead of time to ensure that she is available to take you at the moment as it is only her that works there. I received dip nail powder with extensions and they came out so perfect. Love love love my nails! Thank you Cindy!

The manager should be ashamed. I'm upset to write this after being a loyal client for two years. During my most recent appointment, I asked the manager about the design pricing and raised concerns about cleanliness. The nail file used on me did not appear to be new, and I noticed debris and residue on the drill bits. When I asked about their sanitation practices, I felt my questions were met with defensiveness rather than clear answers. I paid for the service and even tipped my regular nail tech extra. Later, management told me I was no longer welcome back. (Management took zero accountability and said that this was a decision based upon my nail tech who I considered a friend and was even going to do my wedding nails..) I'm disappointed that raising concerns about something as important as hygiene ended my relationship with a salon I had supported for so long. I encourage prospective clients to look closely at whether fresh nail files and clean drill bits are being used and to ask questions if anything concerns them. This should have been a concern to fix not ban a client over.. very strange and unprofessional.

I was seated right away, water flowing in the foot bath. It wasn't too busy, and as a result, both my manicurist (who also happened to be the owner!) and my pedicure technician (Emi/Amy - not sure on the spelling) were able to take their time. Emi was so fun and gave an amazing massage - going to book her again next time for sure. Bonus points to the owner for putting on the World Cup game!

The reason for my 3 star review: I asked for builder gel and got gel tips because I wanted to add some length. The shape was perfect BUT 8 out of 10 fingers have a gap between the tip and the ends of my nails.

The salon was clean and comfy. I might give this place another shot but I'm not sure.

    Unfortunately, my first visit to Veganic Nail Spa on Harbor Blvd will also be my last…read more I came in this morning for a pedicure and was assigned to Amanda. From the beginning, the experience felt uncomfortable. She was a little rough during my pedicure, and some of her comments came across as unnecessary and rude. For example, after she finished the French tip, she asked if I liked it. I told her yes and that it looked nice, and her response was, "It's very hard because your nails are so short." I'm not sure why that comment was necessary after I had already said I was happy with how they looked. Amanda also kept trying to get me to text her directly so she could have my phone number and make future appointments with me. I found that strange and uncomfortable. If I wanted to book with her again, I could simply make an appointment through the salon's normal booking system or website. The part that really bothered me happened after I left. Apparently there had been some miscommunication involving Amanda and another client who wanted to book with her that morning, and somewhere in the process the salon incorrectly charged me for my pedicure. After I had already left the salon, I received a call letting me know THEY had incorrectly charged me and that I still owed an additional $25. I said okay and agreed that I would come back to pay the difference. Not even 20 minutes later, they were calling me AGAIN asking me to come back. That was completely unprofessional to me. I had already agreed to return and pay the difference for a mistake that their establishment made. They didn't even give me a reasonable opportunity to come back before calling me again over $25. I was not refusing to pay, avoiding their calls, or telling them I wasn't coming back. I had literally just told them I would return. The person who called me, Tri, handled the situation in a way that I found extremely unprofessional. Mistakes happen, and I had no issue paying the correct amount. My issue is how I was treated after THEIR billing mistake. Once a customer has agreed to return and correct the difference, repeatedly calling them less than 20 minutes later is excessive and made me feel like I was being harassed over an error I didn't even make. Between the uncomfortable experience during my pedicure, Amanda trying to get me to communicate with her personally for future appointments, and especially the way the salon handled its own billing mistake afterward, this was an extremely disappointing first experience. I will not be returning to this establishment, and based on my experience today, I would not recommend it to my friends or family.

My usual nail spot was fully booked and didn't have availability so I came here because on their menu they offered presto. They have presto for gel color but it's not the thick one that is typically used at Japanese salons - I should've inquired about this when making my appointment. My nail technician Paula was very aggressive with drilling off my existing gel; I had to ask her to slow down several times because my nails were getting hot. She also did not soak my nails at all which I thought was unusual for gel removal. After my gel was completely drilled off she proceeded to apply an acrylic overlay to my nails (a service I didn't ask for) she told me that it was because my nails were "too thin for gel" - this was when I was informed that they don't have the presto gel base coat that is used at my other salon. I asked for simple sheer gel (they don't have sheer presto colors) with white French tip in the deep curve style (pictured below) and it came out really uneven and the sides of my nails were really messy. They also used some off brand top coat and told me they didn't have OPI or presto top coats which is weird considering they charge extra for presto or OPI but do not have all the necessary products to use them for the entirety of the service. In total this cost $57 without tip which I think is reasonable but I would honestly rather pay more to get what I act Other things: They offer 10% off if you pay with cash. They charge $5 for cutting down your existing, in my case natural nails
