I love this spot so much! I've recommended several of my close friends and decided it was about time I do a review! First of all, the decor and style of this place puts me at ease immediately. It's very well designed, very clean and very calming. The ladies that work the front desk are always kind and inviting. Several of the nail tech's here I've been seeing for years! They have literally the best of the best of Orange County nail techs here. Recently I've been seeing Kim. She is so professional. She keeps my gelX nail sizes on record to make our visits swift. She knows exactly the style and shape I like. I can not recommend this place enough. Here are photos of a few styles I've gotten over the last year. read more

My experience at Keratin Lab left much to be desired. Not only did they rush through appointments and charge exorbitant prices, but they also displayed a disappointing lack of flexibility and understanding. Attempting to cancel my appointment 23 hours in advance resulted in a hefty 50% charge, which seemed excessive given the circumstances. Additionally, the process of booking an appointment was needlessly cumbersome. While I understand the premium location in Newport Beach, I expected better customer service and flexibility, especially considering the high prices. Overall, my interaction with the staff left me with a sour impression, warranting a one-star rating. read more

This salon is relaxing and beautiful the moment you walk inside. The owner Jolene does my nails. She is so incredible that I have her pick my nail art for me every time I come in and she never disappoints! People constantly stop me to compliment me on my nails. The salon environment has the best vibe. I have been a client since they opened. I look forward to my appointments and have made friends with the manicurists and clients. I recommend this nail salon to everyone! It truly is the most creative, clean, gorgeous, relaxing, conveniently located, and has the nicest and most talented employees. It is my happy place! read more

I've been going to keratin lab for a few years now- and let me tell you, if you haven't been yet-GO! Keratin Lab is just a great, relaxing, vibe! From the thoughtful interior design, superb customer service, and fantastic teamwork that is displayed throughout its employees- it is truly the best nail salon in the area. Make sure to make an appointment- if you're like me and sometimes don't "plan ahead" they're awesome about putting you on a waiting list. I've pretty much have gone to most everyone who works here- and they are all so talented! keep up the incredible work Jolene, Demi, Kelly, Kim, and Chicky! read more

I have been a client at Keratin Lab since they opened 5 years ago. Their appointments are consistently on time. The receptionists are hospitable and helpful. The salon is well appointed, very clean, and the selection of polish brands and colors is truly amazing. I have a standing appointment with Kay every 3 weeks, and always looking forward to my appointment. She works very efficiently, and the results of her manicures are excellent. I regularly receive compliments on my nails. I consider her my friend as well as a service provider, which is very unique. I highly recommend Keratin Lab. Karen F read more

I have been going to Keratin Lab for at least a year now and it is always an exceptional experience! The staff is kind and conversational with customers. They do not use the electric drill on bare nails and I feel my nails are extra healthy due to this- way healthier than any other gel nail manicures I have had anywhere else. I like that they only take appointments as this means the nail tech can take her time on my nails and I don't feel rushed. The place is always clean and has beautiful natural light! These manicures are well worth the price and I look forward to my nail appointments :) read more

Keratin lab is as good as it shows on instagram (probably even better!) the salon is so clean, the staff is always so friendly and they are all so talented. I see Kelly every time and she is the best. I get more compliments on my nails than ever before and recommend everyone go there. Jolene (the owner) is such an amazing business woman and treats her staff and guests with kindness and respect. If you're looking for the best place to get your nails done in a clean environment (and they last forever!) this is your place! read more

By far the best nail salon I have ever been to. It is worth the price 100%. I go to Chicky for my nails and she has done beautifully every time! My nails have never been this strong. I even tried gel-x for the first time a few months ago and loved it! I can't have designs on my nails for work, but even just the plain color is done to perfection! Everyone is super friendly and helpful, the salon itself is beautiful and clean. Overall, it is the most relaxing and welcoming nail salon I have ever been to. read more

I have been going to Jolene for years and refuse to see anyone else. I was with her before she opened her own salon and now I love going to her beautiful salon. She's so incredibly talented and creative I leave in awe every time. The salon is always so clean and aesthetic. I do gel nails and pedicure and they always last for more than a month if I need them to. I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done. read more

Jolene and the rest of the staff are true professionals. I am literally treated like family, not just a client. The services are outstanding. The salon has been newly renovated and is gorgeous. I can't say enough about what a positive experience it is at Keratin Lab. The salon is clean and the utmost care is given so each client has an amazing experience and gorgeous nails! read more

I have been coming here for years!!! The suite is beautifully decorated and seating is comfortable. I always feel at home here. Kelly is amazing and has become a dear friend. Nicole books my appointments and checks me in to make sure I am comfortable, bringing water or anything I need. Highly recommend Keratin Labs!!!! read more

Keratin Lab is honestly the best. I just make appointments with anyone available due to a hectic work schedule, and every single person is excellent. Extremely clean, beautiful decor, and attention to detail. I'm boring with my nails (haven't done art yet) but the care they put into every service keeps me coming back. read more

Keratin lab is hands down the best nail salon I've ever been to. I've been a client for over a year and could never go anywhere else. My gel manicure also lasts 3-4 weeks without chipping, which is a huge plus! . Jolene and her team are always professional and all the technicians are top notch. read more

Really cute space, friendly staff and good pedicure. I wouldn't say it's the absolute best pedicure I've received but it is good and gets the job done. My skin felt great after but I would say there is slight room for improvement with the detail and perfection of a French tip. read more

Keratin Lab sets the standards HIGH. Sincerely the best manicure/ pedicure I have ever had- and I have had a lot. Not only do they take the best care to keep your nails as healthy as possible, but the ambiance, cleanliness, staff, and ahead of trend knowledge is impeccable. read more

Best nail salon in OC, hands down. All of the nail techs are so good at nail art (I see Demi regularly). Truly unique designs and overall comfortable/beautiful ambiance! I look forward to getting my nails done here every few weeks. I will literally go no where else :) read more

I've came to keratin lab since I moved to OC and haven't gone anywhere else ever since. The quality, sanitation and professionalism of this establishment is amazing. I love that I never have to worry about my already thin nails being shaved down! read more

Great little shop with talented artists! A little tough to schedule an apt for a group of girls as the salon is on the smaller side. Greeted and sat within a couple min of my apt time. Efficient and stellar art work! read more
