Ellie is an absolute queen. I am obsessed with her. She does such amazing and meticulous work and, frankly, is an excellent nail tech turned therapist. I always leave feeling so incredible!! Modern nails is a MUST. I have since moved out-of-state and still book my nail appointments with Ellie. She is the BEST. I have never had such strong natural nails in my life--I LOVE her.

They did such an amazing job on my nails, looks just like my inspo pic! Definitely my go to spot!

They did such an amazing job on my nails, looks just like my inspo pic! The shape and color are perfect, and they paid so much attention to detail. Definitely my go-to spot!

Amazing service, everyone is so friendly and nice. Ellie is an amazing incredibly talented nail artist. She never disappoints on nail art, she did my wedding nails and they were 10/10

Love it here!! I've been getting my nails done for years and had yet to find a place that actually takes good care of you. I'm so happy I found Modern Nails. I couldn't believe how close and convenient it was to me so I decided to go and check it out. This is my third time here and I am in love with my natural acrylic nails and the amazing service. Mai does an excellent job and takes her time. She treats ALL of her clients the same and with the utmost respect. She takes her time and is very precise. Pricing is very reasonable as well! I highly recommend as I will definitely be coming back!

Formerly OC Waxing, Bare is still the same business. The Costa Mesa location is on a Main Street so…read morethere's not always front parking but they have a small lot in the back. Decent prices and clean facility. I have gone here for my lady parts a handful of times and it's been a great experience. I have been waxing for awhile so I can't speak to newbies who want feedback on pain. Just so you know the first few times are uncomfortable. If you have a high pain tolerance you're good. If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.

Went in for a play boy 3 different times here. I got good results the first time I came here, I got…read morea play boy done by Linda. But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

First time to this salon, not first time to the services…read more Location: The place is very clean, from the bathroom, the room, work station, everything is clean. Peaceful ambiance. Plenty of parking in that shopping center. Customer service: Excellent. Front desk: I started making my appointment online and I stopped. After a while a got a text asking if they could help me. From there, until I got to the salon, Presley was so nice, helpful, and made everything in her power to make sure I had the best experience. Esthetician: The service I requested was waxing. Jenna was so nice, very professional, has an entertaining and pleasant conversation, her vibe makes you feel comfortable. Price: Fair. They have specials, promotions, and memberships available too. I highly recommend this salon, especially for the customer service.

We got an appointment that accommodated and worked with our schedule. When we got there it was very easy to find and enough parking. We walked in and were greeted by a sweet girl whose name I forgot! Sorry! Easy to scan and fill out consent forms online and the place was beautiful and the ambiance was amazing. We were brought back right away and since this was our first time and my daughter's first time ever getting a spray tan. Erin was super friendly and so sweet and put my daughter at ease because she was extremely nervous! Erin was very thorough with instructions and to prepare her and she was amazing at her work! I would highly recommend this place and my daughter will definitely be back because she felt comfortable. Great pricing and great service!
