    Structured gel with simple nail art

    Mai is the best!!! I first came to her to get my nails done for my wedding, and I've been coming back every month since. Before I met Mai, I had a fear of getting my nails done (too many experiences with being cut, etc.). I communicated these fears to Mai and she was so patient and accommodating. She gentle patented me through the first few sessions and now, I'm not scared at all! Her studio is clean and her tools are all sterilized. Of course, she is also a very talented nail artist. Her structured gel application has prevented me from constantly breaking my nails (it provides great reinforcement to your natural nails). Her removal is also very gentle and mindful of the natural nail structure. I drive from an hour away just to get my nails done by Mai!

    So for me self care is a must and of course this includes my nails. Mai is super talented and has excellent customer service. Her location is in a suite and is very relaxing. My nails are well taken care of and they last for a while, which is amazing. She has a great selection of polish and if you can think of it, she can do it.

    I've never gotten nail art done before so I was a bit nervous, but Mai was very patient and explained everything clearly. She took time to understand what I was looking for and helped pick colors that matched my skin. You can tell she takes her craft seriously, and I don't think I'll be able to get my nails done anywhere else!

    I met Mai in 2015 and she brings creativity to each appointment. She has a keen eye for color and is meticulous in her execution. She is also very personable and each time I see her feels like a treat. You will be more than happy to have your nails done by her!

    I am so happy that I found Mai! She is such a nail genius she has transformed my nails into natural strong shaped healthy beautiful real nails! I've been depending on acrylic for as long as I can remember and now I have the most natural looking shaped nails. and they're so strong they don't break or bend I'm just so grateful I found her I love her nail artistry and I really and truly just love the quality of her skill it's top-tier.

    I was weary about stepping foot into a nail salon with our current circumstances, but my hands and feet needed some loving after three months without any attention. I found this place on Instagram (@ohmaijoy). It's a boutique within Salon Row. They specialize in non-toxic nail polishes. Inside Salon Row, they have a waiting area with some comfy seats and even a selfie station with a ring light, where you can send your pictures to yourself. The boutique itself, has only two nail technicians who are the owners and operators. I went with my daughter. They made sure that we washed and sanitized our hands upon entry. So, I appreciated that and the exceptional service they provided. They have a lot of experience between the two of them and just decided to open the business together. They were both super professional and personable. I can tell they knew what they were doing. Mai was even able to fix my nail where the matrix was damaged before and now grows cracked in two places. You can't even tell! They also are great artists and can do amazing designs but I usually just stick with just nail polish. Make sure to call to make an appointment or book online.

    Mai has been my nail gal since the pandemic when I found her at her shop in Downtown LB. Now that's she's at her own studio in Bixby Knolls, it's been such an intimate and lovely experience. The parking situation is super easy as they share the lot with George's 50's Diner.

All thanks to a careless nail technician at essence nail in Irvine. My nail beds were so sensitive and painful that I did not want anyone touching them. My colleague recommended Zu and that is how I got to find out about her business. I booked a spot several weeks in advance and was counting down the days to get my nails fixed. Zu went above and beyond my expectations. My cuticles have never looked this good and I love how my hard gel turned out (first time trying out this material after years of getting gel-xtension). Zu is a true professional and artist, she is a master of her craft and is just a caring, personable individual. Get your spot booked on her calendar. You will not regret it.

    It was only right to have a NEW mani + pedi going into the NEW YEAR so I visited Zu today!…read more I have been going to Zu consistently since my last review and she still pays attention to detail, takes her time and gets the job done. I can communicate what I want and Zu executes without issue. Zu is very thoughtful in making sure you're satisfied with results and has complimentary snacks and drinks during her service. Service received: Russian Gel Mani, Smart Gel Pedi Zu has taken me out of my comfort zone with this latest nail design and I am in love with it. I recommend and will continue to get my nails beautifully done by Zu! Review is reflective of my service on 12/26/25 Service start time: 2:30pm Service duration: 3 hrs.

Not only was the design exactly the inspiration I provided, but I ended up getting proposed to on that trip so these became my engagement nails! I've been coming back to see Zoe ever since. Whether it's detailed designs or airbrushed looks, she always does an amazing job. I receive many compliments whenever I get nail art done by her! Attached are some of my faves. I also have to shout out Tracy, who does my pedicures. She recognizes me, is welcoming, and always so helpful when it comes to my ingrowns, which can be painful, and I really appreciate. She makes the whole experience comfortable for me. I have not caught the receptionist's name, but she is also very kind whenever I visit as well. Highly recommend Euca, Zoe, and Tracy!

I had a bad nail technician experience so let me give you my detailed experience. Most bail salons do not really care about infection control but her? Every drill bit changed, every towel chained, brushed off metal bits to make sure no nail dust was on it, WIPING EVERYTHING BEFORE TOUCHING ANYTHING SPEAKE VOLUME. I told her my bad nail tech experience and she understood how seeing poor quality nails can affect your day and its true. I had a mental breakdown because my nails were just done terribly so she took the time to assess my nails and when she noticed my left thumb was crooked, she took the nail off and redid the whole prep process twice because she did mess up twice. Usually some nail techs don't talk to you or they be talking in their own language and but throughout the whole time I was there, she took accountability on her part and double checked with me to make sure my nails were to my satisfaction. I will be definitely going back to her because she turned a picture into reality twice as better!! She took her time and did not rush even when the shop was closed already. So i tipped her bit because she understood me and she made sure I was satisfied with the results. Total price paid $105 for this set!

So knowledgeable that they teach classes. They properly clean tools or provide new (i.e. file) which they give you if you want. They have whatever products you want, I'm sure. Colors, stickers, gems, bedazzles and blings galore! If they don't have the perfect color, they will mix it for you. These ladies are artists - they will create your vision. Beautifully! If there were half stars in Yelp rating, I would make this 4.5. My only ding is that the shop hours don't easily match my hours. Which I completely understand - this is a small "artisan" experience. BUT, since there aren't half stars, they get a five! I mean, look at my nails!!! They're freaking gorgeous! Five stars all night all day. Rock on, Ladies!

What I appreciate most is how transparent they are about pricing they always make sure you know if there are any extra charges before starting a service. Today, though, I witnessed something that really stood out and I was actually sitting right next to the customer the entire time. A girl came in and started complaining about the cost after her nails had already been started. From the beginning, her tone felt rude and dismissive. When the manager came over to help, she tried to calmly explain the pricing, but the customer kept interrupting and responding with a passive-aggressive attitude. At one point, she even told the manager to lower her voice in a disrespectful way, despite the manager remaining professional the entire time. To make things more uncomfortable, her boyfriend started adding his opinion, even though he had nothing to do with the service. Instead of helping de-escalate the situation, he made it worse by defending his girlfriend, even though she was clearly in the wrong. It would have been more appropriate to let the customer and the person in charge handle the situation directly. Another manager stepped in and patiently pulled up her past transactions to clearly show what had been charged before. They explained that sometimes removal fees are waived, but it's never guaranteed and they always communicate that upfront, which is something I've personally experienced and appreciated. Even after being shown proof, the customer continued to be upset and dismissive, saying things like, "Whatever, just finish my nails. I'll pay, but I'm never coming back." After all that I understand why staff didn't want to service her anymore. She left the place with nails on and she still didn't pay. The staff handled everything with patience and professionalism, even when faced with unnecessary rudeness.
