Went here for the first time today and loved it! Michelle and Eva did my nails (mani and pedi) and both came out perfect. Michelle did a great job listening to what i wanted and being patient with my limited nail vocab. And huge plus is that the salon does not smell like a typical nail salon would. Im pregnant so this was incredibly helpful and now i feel like i could never go back to a regular nail place. read more

a friend of mine comes here on a regular basis and gets cute gel x manicures, so take my review with a grain of salt. because of said friend, i tried this place out around a year or so ago. that experience wasn't great -- their services as described online weren't super clear to me, but i booked the one that seemed the closest to what i needed, some kind of gel mani service. when i got to the salon, the older brunette woman (a manager? a receptionist? unclear) asked what i wanted. i told her that i was a little confused by the services offered and explained what i was looking for (a strengthening gel mani and french tip or something along those lines. i was not aware that they couldn't be done together). she then started muttering under her breath to another technician that "well maybe you could have read it on the website." uh, i did? and it wasn't clear? i'm very clearly not a professional nail tech, that's why i was there. she was unnecessarily rude the whole time i was there. maybe it was just a bad day. i don't know. someone eventually did put a black french tip on my nails, but did not seem to understand how to do it correctly and layered a sparkly pink over the top so instead it came out more like blue chrome? it's fine, they're just nails, who cares. i was mostly just put off by how awful the overall customer service was. i went back in today to get the rewind manicure with a strengthening treatment (because now i know!). i didn't even feel like doing it due to cramps, but the cancellation policy on their website is pretty strict (and expensive) so i sucked it up and drove over. they advise you to arrive 10-15 minutes early for parking, which is a fair tip because the parking lot is always busy. i checked in for a 2:30 appointment at 2:20 or so. by 3:00 nobody had checked on me, made any kind of indication that i was up next (or even soon). i don't care about being offered drinks or anything, but maybe *some* kind of human acknowledgment that i'm here and have been waiting here for the better part of 45 minutes? i'm glad that business is booming and that you guys are busy, but i'm busy too. my time is just as valuable as yours. i'm done trying here. i'm so happy that my friend enjoys this place, and maybe i would have too if the circumstances were different. doesn't matter. i'll take my chances somewhere else. read more

I could cry! Susan and Zoe worked real magic today! I haven't been to a nail salon in over 6 years (crazy, I know) because a different salon gave me a fungus on a toe and it took years of medication, topical treatments to heal. I wanted to get my nails done for my birthday and a Vegas trip coming up. I decided to try Lollipop because of how seriously they take their hygiene practices. I left feeling so pampered and honestly with the BEST manicure and pedicure I have ever received. They really care about the client and don't rush through your appointment. The environment was calm and relaxed and just a great vibe. Also, Dazzle Dry??!! Game changer! I can't wait to come back :) read more

Lollipop Nail Studio - Dazzle Dry manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been coming here for years! Love it here how everything is soooooo clean and natural! It's always a great experience! I've tried a bunch of the nail technicians and they are literally all good! You can make appointments online which is super easy, or over the phone. Lollipop Nail Studio is by far my favorite. The only negative is parking can be challenging (it's free but busy) but that's not their fault. 5 stars for sure!! read more

I found this salon after specifically looking for a toxic free shop. I was looking to do a normal gel manicure, and noticed there were a few options. I did the Mega Gel Manicure, which meant that the base coat was a thicker polish in a little pot. It reminded me a little bit like gel builder. My nail tech was super attentive to make sure I liked the shape of my nails, which I appreciated! Im not sure if they do walk ins, but their online booking is very straight forward. I will definitely be back! read more

I had just called to make a appointment. We are new people in this area. Who wanted to try this out for me and my six-year-old daughter could you not the receptionist was absolutely unprofessional the lack of enthusiasm in her voice and make it seem like we're bothering her even though we're trying to give them business. She wasn't very helpful or friendly. She was trying to book us an appointment for 1 o'clock, and yes, I know it's last minute and I was willing to do other times too, but she said 1 o'clock was available which is in 20 minutes and during her intake she's basically mumbling and understanding the fact that I am a new customer. I've never been to the Salon before she seemed like she had an attitude and kept saying your kid when I made it clear it's my daughter there was like no niceness towards it and then as she finished our intake she's says the 1pm booked online barely apologetic about it and now everything is fully booked and I was like this is ridiculous. If you don't have good phone presence for a business you're going to miss out on a lot of good clients! read more

I had a great pedi with robin, she did a great job on the color, foot massage, and honestly everything even her vibe is awesome I will always recommend robin ! read more

Pretty decent place. The kids wanted to get their nails done, so we stopped by. Everything went well overall, but the process was a bit tedious and took a while. It got a little boring just sitting and waiting. read more

I live down the street from the camp and wanted to transition from gel x to something more natural and came across this place, they specialize in mega gel and other services and have a seven day guarantee on their gel nails staying intact and not lift or chip. i went in on july 7th friday and paid $150 for megal gel on my nails and regular gel on my toes, simply in the color red. this seemed extremely overpriced, as i normally pay this amount elsewhere for gel x with beautiful designs...even with removal fees. but whatever, it's in a posh little shop in costa mesa so to be expected. what annoyed me is that they didn't really clean my cuticles and my pedicure was mediocre. however, within five days- three of my nails lifted and started breaking. just my luck. i called back and they were able to take me in and fix it. there was no charge for this but i still tipped my manicurist out of curtesy. now it's been two weeks and my nails have all lifted, some have broken, cracked and fallen off and it looks absolutely horrendous. so now i've paid $150+ for nails that lasted me not even two weeks. bummer. not to mention, they're kind of rude and dismissive in their interactions. the ladies at the front desk need to learn how to smile at customers. i've worked in luxury retail for 15 years and they definitely need to retrain their employees on customer service. reaaaalllllly wanted to like this place because it's cute but safe to say i will not be returning. read more

Update: forgot to add that this was the same day my grandmother lost her diamond ring. Was hesitant to post since it is a big offense and wouldn't want to wrongly accuse, but after searching the entire house and back tracking in hopes of finding it the only thing conclusive is that she had the ring before getting our nails done and did not have it after. So if you do come here maybe leave nice jewelry at home or make sure you keep jewelry on during the service. Additionally, the woman who did her nails left without waiting for any payment and did not return despite my nails taking 30 minutes longer than my grandmother's. Again, I hate to make the accusation but I do believe people should be aware in case a similar situation happens. read more

My mom & I decided to drive over an hour to check this nail studio out specifically for their non-toxic materials & the fact that their nail techs are trained to help with healing nails. The nail techs themselves were great. They were friendly, professional & paid attention to detail. My issue is with the receptionist, Robin. From the beginning she starts by speaking to me in a condescending manner saying that if I'm hiding then they can't help me, implying that I was scared, when in actuality I was waiting for my mom to return from the car since the appointments were under her name. Later on in the middle of my mom getting her manicure done, Robin walks over and tells the manicurist that she needs to hurry because there's someone else who needs a service. Our appointments were for 4:30 and we were there on time so I'm not sure why she felt the need to rush my mom's service when this lady came in way after us. Plus, you're the receptionist, not the boss, so why are you hovering and micro-managing everyone & interrupting appointments? My tech had already finished my toes & instead of having her service the next customer, Robin again walks over & has my moms manicurist switch customers in the middle of her service (that she made an appointment for!) & tells the tech that just finished my toes to finish polishing my mom's nails. Again, the nail techs were awesome. Robin made the experience uncomfortable and it honestly seemed like she was on a slight power trip by trying to make us women of color feel inferior and uncomfortable. As for the ambiance, the studio is rather cute & smells amazing. For the prices they charge one would expect there to be actual spa chairs but nope. The chairs they do have are similar to boutique hotel lobby chairs. read more

The only place I'll go to get a mani or pedi. I love that they use non toxic ingredients and it doesn't smell like a nail salon. I've had Many of their technicians and they're all great and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I was really excited to try out this nail salon as it's organic and nontoxic. I loved how you get confirmation reminders about your appointment and everyone was so professional on the phone. Once I arrived to the studio, I thought the place was so clean and cute! I came for a gel mani and gel pedi. My gel mani was amazing and the tech was so nice and paid attention to details. However, my pedi didn't turn out so good; the Polish wasn't even and I told the tech a couple of times and she just looked irritated and said she will fix it. I don't think she even looked at what I was talking about in detail. I had to tell the other technician and she pointed it out to her to even it out. It was a cool experience overall, but I wasn't impressed. read more

I hadn't been to The Camp in years, my friends and I had a mini- mother's day and had boba + lunch followed by a pedicure at Lollipop They do not have the typical massage chairs and tubs for your feet. They bring out this tub (see pic) for the soak which was nice. They didn't have an insane number of color choices. But it's not a bad thing I don't like to be overwhelmed with choices. I feel like their lotions and oils were a nicer quality compared to chain places like Happy Nails. My skin felt so smooth! My pedicure is completely perfect, she did a great job. I didn't like my color at the end but that's my own fault haha. I would return, but do note parking on the weekend at the Camp is horrendous. It is also on the higher priced side for their better-for-you products. read more

Made an appointment for my daughter with Evelyn. She was a tiny bit behind but omg she was so nice it was worth the little extra wait. This was my daughter's first manicure ever and she made her feel special and was super nice to her. The manager was also very kind and the place looks so cute. Will definitely be back! read more

I love this place the quality and service is amazing. I enjoy the pedicures just the right amount of scrubbing.

I took my 4-year-old daughter here for her very first nail appointment, and she was beyond excited. Unfortunately, the experience didn't feel special at all. Despite mentioning multiple times that it was her first time, no one acknowledged it or made any effort to engage with her. The nail technician was polite but not particularly warm, and the overall atmosphere wasn't kid-friendly. They offer services for children as young as three, so I expected a more welcoming experience - especially since it's not easy for a little one to sit through a mani-pedi. Some small touches, like books or even just a bit of enthusiasm, would have made a huge difference. The chair was also uncomfortable for her, and even with extra pillows, she struggled to sit properly. As for the service itself, I was shocked that we paid $40 for what was essentially just polish. Her "massage" was nothing more than a quick rub with lotion - no hand/foot soak, no real pampering, just a pat-down with a towel. Honestly, a regular nail salon would have made her first experience much more special. Needless to say, we won't be coming back. *And when the appointment was over as I was paying my daughter saw candy on the desk and asked politely if she could have a candy and the lady let her take a treat. But... why should she have had to ask and it not be offered. Just all weird. read more

Great pure and natural services AND their secret weapon, Colleen! Colleen is THE MASTER! Talk about knowing her shizz. And for specialized toe problems, she's your answer! A++ read more

I adore Lollipop Nail Studio it is hands down the best non-toxic nail salon. Do you know how lucky we are to have such a natural option in OC? The service is really good, the ladies are always respectful and provide a quiet and relaxing experience. The nail color options are great, I adore the rose milk foot bath. It's a beautiful space and I don't have to jump right into the shower when I get home to wash off the smelly chemicals other salons use. read more

Finally found a truly non toxic salon. So many claim to be organic and are nothing close to it. I was so happy to walk into Lollipop today and there be no strong scents in a closed door salon. I loved the organic body oils and scrubs used as well. Susan and Eva did a great job. I look forward to coming back. read more

I never get my nails done. I had a bad experience in high school and didn't care to try again. This past weekend I had a very special event that I had to get my nails done for...my engagement!! I'm so glad I trusted Lollipop nails and Priscilla with such a special day. Priscilla really took her time and answered all my questions and concerns with care. Most importantly, my nails turned out FANTASTIC! I wanted a clean, natural nail with a gentle white marbling effect. She not only perfected that, but touched up each nail to my exact liking. Now I can flash my shiny new ring with gorgeous nails to match. Thank you so much Priscilla and Lollipop Nails! read more

Visiting Lollipop Nail Studio would count as my fifth time ever getting a gel manicure. Either I had been visiting the wrong salons, or this place knows how to properly prep my nails for gel, but this is the first time I have not had a single nail lift. Michele was my manicurist and worked on my nails with so much care and skill. I wanted a very thin white french tip, and she was able to shape my nails beautifully and delicately paint on the white tip with a brush, even on my short natural nails. Colleen gave me a gel pedicure, and it amazing and relaxing as well. This place is pricier than other salons in the area (not surprising as it is located in the Camp), but it's worth the investment to not have your nails peel off in a few days, which was my experience previously. Also, everything is non-toxic, and the ladies here really do a great quality job without making you feel rushed. Definitely recommend! read more

I booked online and didn't have a problem finding a good time for my appointment, and their site is very easy to understand. I don't get my nails done often because I'm a bit nervous about it - but WOW they really blew me away! My manicurist was Halenia and she did the best job I've ever seen on french manicure. She brought out the tiniest brush and really got the details down. I didn't feel nervous or rushed at all, and Halenia was so awesome - cannot stress enough how awesome she was. Great conversation, relaxing, and really an amazing job. Can't wait to book again! One thing I will say - if you have a gift card try to use it ASAP! I brought in an old one and they had trouble because they don't use the same ones as they did before. read more

I went for a mani/pedi and left relaxed and with a huge smile on my face. This salon is different, very chill, relaxing. So many gel colors! Organic! Cozy chairs, super friendly staff! Thanks guys, I will be back! read more

I scheduled a mommy and me mani-pedi date and the technician that took care of my daughter was kind and patient and accommodating to my daughter who was very shy for her first mani-pedi. I got the gel mani and a pedi. Both technicians were great! My mani happened to peel up after day 3 and I happened to remember that they had a one week guarantee on their gel service. I called and scheduled an appointment thinking it would be a touch up. By my appointment rolling around, I had two other peeling nails. The technician was originally going to repair just the 3 nails but as she looked over the rest of my nails, she offered to redo all of my nails! Now I'm a week from my "touch up" and no signs of peeling or chipping. I don't think the first round was of anyone's fault and wondering if it was just the weather or something that day. All in all, so pleased with the service, especially honoring the guarantee even more than I was expecting. Will definitely come back and recommend! Thank you! read more

Amazing experience! Very impressed with the attention to detail and care for cuticle nail health!

This place is a little gem!! its taken me a bit of time finding a good salon that actually sterilized and autoclaves their reusable metal tools and one time uses specific item like buffers and foot scrubbers. As a Diabetic you HAVE to be very careful with that. I didn't catch the names of the wonderful ladies who took care of me but I got great service. They took their time and made sure everything looked good. The most perfect gel manicure I ever had. Paid about $92 if I'm not mistaken for a gel manicure and a regular polish pedicure. read more

I'm torn on my review but that probably means I should say what I need to say. I am a new customer and came in for a "mega gel manicure." My hair stylist raved about this place and I was excited to find someone who does Biosculpture Gel (it's very hard to find). It's $50 which is fine, BUT I am so disappointed that it did not include a real manicure. Just a dry cuticle trim.... For $50 I feel like the least that could be offered is a basic manicure with the gel. I'm sorry but a dry cuticle trim is just not a manicure, it's a cuticle trim and gel application. Although my nails look nice the skin around them looks dry, thick and feels gross. Im mostly disappointed because I've been frequenting high end nail salons for several years to get Cal-Gel and Biosculpture Gel and it's very hard to find in OC/LA. I used to travel to DTLA but the salon shut down (Nail Swag). I was happy to find this place. The price is high (although I have paid more at times) but the product is worth it... but usually a premium service like Biosculpture includes a real manicure. I have never not received a full manicure with cal gel/Biosculpture at any of the salons I've been to. So I am not sure if I'm going back. I need real manicures, not just a dry trim. If that means I'll have to stick to short nails and go to "regular" salons so be it. Or travel to LA I guess. I'd rather have soft hands than long nails. Anyway, Lollipop Nails, please consider upgrading your "Mega Manicure" to include a basic *real* manicure. Even if you'll have charge a bit more read more
