    My inspo

    Edit in response to owner's comment: Another reason to avoid this place -- the owner is lying through her teeth to save face. They definitely OFFER DISCOUNTS IN EXCHANGE FOR REVIEWS (or at least did when I went) because they literally asked my sister about it as she was paying. Also saying tools from the "soiled" box are actually clean is next level bull****. As someone who has worked in beauty, soiled boxes are reserved for tools that have already been used on clients and are not yet disinfected. California LAW literally says this: "All tools that have been used on a client or soiled in any manner shall be placed in a box labeled dirty, soiled, or contaminated" ALSO Cici also never "recommended" acrylics to me. Instead, she just started gluing acrylics to my nails as soon as I sat down while nodding and lying that she was doing builder gel for me (in the hopes that I would be fooled and that her work might be a bit easier for it). I wouldn't mind if she had just been honest but I hate being deceived. I also wouldn't mind if my nails turned out anything like the inspo photo but she just literally sucks at doing nails (the picture speaks for itself). Everyone beware -- these 900 something "positive" reviews are likely all incentivized reviews in my opinion (discount in exchange for a review). I got my nails done here with Cici and asked for builder gel but she started gluing acrylics to my nails. I kept asking her if something was wrong bc she was legit not doing builder gel and I just gave up because she kept telling me she was doing builder gel (the gaslighting was next level). Next she was using DIRTY TOOLS!! Ask me how I know (she was whipping stuff out of a box labeled SOILED). My nails literally looked horribly crooked and bumpy at the end and I just had to say YOLO and move on. It wasn't that cheap either. I'm not usually one to leave a negative review but I just want to warn y'all as I think it's really deceptive to offer discounts in exchange for reviews without disclosure. I would go somewhere else babes.

    Had a nice if not slightly rushed experience here last week for a new hard gel set with gel polish. They did get me in when I called the day before for a Friday appt which was nice. The girl who did my nails Olivia did a great job, though she mentioned she usually lashes and recommended a few other girls for my next visit. Prices were good and the salon was nice enough, I'll probably be back!

    The women here are super talented. At this point I've been here multiple times and each time, my design is exactly the way I want it. They shape your nails exactly as you want as well. The inside is fairly clean and its nicely decorated. My only complaint is when getting a fill, the nail technicians file the gel/dip powder down instead of soaking it off and then filing it off. It hurts when they do this, which makes me think it isn't normal? I've been to other places and my nails are always wrapped with acetone to remove the powder/gel. I only come back here because the designs really are super well done.

    I've been going to Terry at Lush Nails for over 5 years now, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails. My nails are my guilty pleasure so I want someone who gets as much joy out of them as I do when I see them. Terry is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. No matter what idea or inspiration I bring her (a photo I saw on IG, a new trend, or some really random idea I think that could work), she brings it to life every single time. Her creativity and skill are unmatched and her attention to detail is my favorite. She is incredibly meticulous when it comes to filing and shaping, and you can tell she truly cares about the quality of her work. My nails always come out looking clean, polished, and perfectly structured. I've moved to Los Angeles and still make it a point to drive out to Tustin just for Terry to do my nails; that's how good she is. Cannot recommend her and Lush Nails enough!!

    First nail to break after 8 days

    Update in response to owners reply: The owner is lying through her teeth on her response. They did not recommend a new set. They were recommending me a FILL. That is not a professional decision if you saw lifting on my nails. And when I asked how much for a fill you were charging me full price. I shouldn't be getting charged full price when my set only lasted 8 days before breaking. I was never once given the option to repair, you were trying to charge for everything single thing that was recommended. I was given any options for discounts or understanding for 8 days not being normal for Builder Gel that's supposed to last 3-4 weeks. Thats sad that this salon owner is comfortable to lie on here about what happened to a customer. Do not go here. Im really disappointed in having to write this review for a nail salon Ive been coming to for years. You can see my past review with this salon from over 8 years ago. In late June, I got a builder gel set for the first time for fourth of July with Helen and I loved how they came out. Although when getting a fill on 7/12 with Tori, I have had issues with lifting and breakage over a span of less than two weeks. This salon uses a great quality hard builder gel, IBD - Hard Gel LED / UV Clear, which should last 3-4 weeks when applied properly. Although my first nail broke within 8 days from a crack on its side, which is a sign of improper application, there was nothing other than normal use with these nails. Although the salon fixed it free of charge which I was pleased with. Unfortunately 5 days later, with my nails being only 13 days old, two more nails broke yesterday, 7/25. When I reached out to the salon they told me to come in to take a look, I expressed my dissatisfaction and was told two weeks is normal. When arriving they told me to sit and I waited for a nail tech. I had to explain my problem with multiple nail techs until they finally brought out the manager who I spoke with on the phone. I don't understand why she didn't approach me right away when I already spoke with her, this felt really unprofessional to have to repeat my situation over and over. All three of the techs who listened to my issue all kept trying to charge me for a fill and new set, after I repeatedly requested to get the nails removed because they have consistently broke on me and are lifting off of my natural nail. The manager tried to blame it on my nails, saying they are weak. I felt my dissatisfaction was not heard because she still tried to tell me to get a fill for full price. Which after seeing my natural nail is lifted is extremely unsanitary and I could get bacteria build up? I don't understand how the salon could recommend this solution and then want to charge me full price for it. The manager seemed upset and walked away from me when I requested to just remove my nails free of charge. I have spent over thousands of dollars to this salon and I don't understand how they couldn't sacrifice a $15 charge to remove the nails for me, an upset customer who is dissatisfied with the service. Spending $65 on a fill that only lasts 8 days without breaking is ridiculous. She was only willing to offer me $5 discount to remove it and still wanted me to pay them $10. I would never again recommend this salon to anyone after the way I was treated, it was so embarrassing to have to repeatedly explain myself and not be listened to as a customer.

    Unfortunately, I'm really disappointed with my French polish change experience. I was expecting clean, precise French lines, but the finished result looked sloppy and uneven. Some areas appeared smudged, and the white tips were not clean or consistent. I understand no service is perfect, but this felt rushed and did not reflect the quality I expected

    The service was amazing along with the nails. The vibe is like an aesthetic white pink kind of thing. Employees are very nice.

    I was in town visiting and needed a place to get my nails done. I'm usually very hesitant of trying new places since I've had bad experiences in the past. I found this place, and figured I'd give it a go! I absolutely loved the environment, Terry did an amazing job on my nails, she was quick and efficient and beyond sweet! Now I only wish I lived closer!! 10/10 will be back next time!

    If you're looking for your go to nail salon in OC definitely make a trip to Lush. I've been coming here for over two years and they never disappoint. I got my nails done by Heidi and she is so so talented. She always takes the time to make sure my nails are perfect and exactly like whatever inspo I show her. I got these nails done for my graduation and they are quite literally the best nails I've ever had in my life. Thank you Heidi you're amazing!

    After ONLY 10 days of the nails been turn from gold to copper. the nail tech - Heidi refuses to fix my nails .
    sarah t.

    I had a VERY disappointing & frustrating experience at this nail salon. I called ahead to explain the issue with my nails, the salon told me to come in so they could check them and fix the problem. I trusted their word and came in for my 5:00 PM appointment on time. However, once I arrived, I was made to wait an additional 30 minutes just to speak with the nail technician. After waiting that long, I was told that my nails would not be fixed. I don't understand why I was asked to come in at all if there was never any intention to resolve the issue. The nail technician, Heidi, originally did my nails with a gold finish. Within only 10 days***, the color had already turned into a rusty, copper-like finish. She was late to my original appointment and rushed through the service. When I came back to address the issue, instead of taking responsibility or offering a solution, she blamed normal daily nail use and said it was my fault. That explanation is unreasonable for a nail service that didn't even last 2 weeks. I was then made to wait again, only to be told the nails would not be redone because the gel had not fully come off. This entire experience felt dismissive and unprofessional. I will never recommend this nail salon to anyone. If you are paying close to $90 with tip, this place does not deserve your time or money.

The clinician called me to ask if I could come in early and I said yes hoping to be feeling better but as I began to work on some things at home I felt worse and worse. (I just found out I have Covid). I attempted to reschedule through Vagaro, but because my appointment was less than six hours away, the system would not allow me to do so. I called the salon and was informed by a staff member that I would be charged a $10 cancellation fee despite being sick and wanting to reschedule rather than cancel outright. Since my service was only an underarm wax, the fee amounted to approximately 40% of the total service cost. I asked whether an exception could be made given the circumstances, but was told it was the "manager's policy." The response felt very scripted and lacked any empathy for the situation. I ultimately agreed to pay the fee, but asked that the manager be informed they had lost a customer over $10. Unfortunately, the experience became even more disappointing. The manager, Sarah, called me after I had already explained that I was sick and wanted to discuss the situation. I was really not feeling well and did not appreciate receiving a call to discuss this further. I told the manager that, because I wasn't feeling well, the only discussion I was interested in having was whether the cancellation fee would be refunded. Instead of addressing my concern, Sarah ended the call abruptly by HANGING UP ON ME. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but customer service and compassion matter. A little flexibility for a client who woke up sick and was trying to reschedule, not avoid paying, would have gone a long way. Instead, I was charged a fee that represented a significant portion of the service cost and was treated in a way that ensured I won't be returning. If you book here, just be aware that if you wake up sick on the day of your appointment, you should expect the cancellation fee to be enforced regardless of the circumstances.

Earlier this week I had my sugaring appointment. I arrive to the Brea location and I get the text to respond that Im there. I respond and Im waiting patiently for someone to open the door. Im looking at the window and am noticing there are no hours posted for Sunday (the day I went). Hard to see but then I notice all the lights are off. Weird?? I look back at my texts and see that I booked for the Santa Ana location and not the Brea location. THEN I call the Santa Ana location and Lesly picks up. I told her I was at the wrong location and asked if she would still take me if I came right now and she said yes. My original appointment was at 12pm and she said she can squeeze me in at 1245pm. THEN I drove to the Santa Ana location. Thank goodness she said 1245pm because I got there at 1230 driving around looking for parking. I had never been in that area before. ***The door is unlocked and I go in and I am greeted by Lesly. She told me where to go and to prep myself. Now, I will say the room I was in had a weird smell. Not a nasty smell but like an old building smell. Lesly gets to sugaring me and honestly the pain level was 2-3/10. Also, Lesly is so cool. Professional and flexible. It really felt like a friend was servicing me. We talked about the world cup, Love Island, and others things I can't remember because I took too long to write this review! I was out of there within 15 minutes. She also recommended me a coffee shop as I asked her what was good in that area. This location is really out of the way but honestly I would probably come here again just because of the service!

Her eyebrows were done poorly, and we ended up taking her to another salon in Garden Grove to have them corrected. If you decide to visit, I recommend getting to know who will be providing your service. In the past, my wife has received nothing but exceptional service here, which is why this experience was so surprising. Another concern was the payment process. She was told that a new California law requires a 20% tip to be added when paying with a card, and there was also an additional $3.50 charge for debit card users. Had we known about these fees beforehand, we would have brought cash. Based on my understanding, the explanation regarding the mandatory 20% tip did not seem accurate. I am happy to leave a generous tip when service is exceptional, but I do not believe customers should be required to pay a 20% gratuity, especially when they are dissatisfied with the quality of the service they received. While this visit was disappointing, I want to acknowledge that previous experiences here have been very positive. I hope management addresses these concerns to ensure future customers have a better experience.
