    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 the esthetics!

    Texted Ellie today at 12:00pm. She was able to get me in by 2:30 that same day and I was so happy! My nails look great she was so attentive and helpful. This salon is amazing because I really felt COMFORTABLE. Great vibes and great conversation

    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!

    I will never not go to Anna for my nails. She is the best! My natural nails are so healthy and long. Cannot recommend her enough! Everyone at the salon is so friendly and sweet. Truly enjoy my time whenever I am there.

    I go in for simple manicures and pedicures. They do a great job! Plus their pricing is best in the area.

    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.

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 .

Hannah was meticulous, gentle, and clearly very skilled. She always checked in to see if I was in any pain.

On top of that, their pricing is much more reasonable compared to other salons in OC. I am so glad I found this place and will definitely be coming back.

Manicure - I ended up getting a pink jelly gel nail and am really happy with the results! I showed a reference photo and the nail tech was able to help me pick out a color. Pedicure - For my pedicure I had a mixed experience. I wanted to go with a pink polish on my toes, however, I was asked if I wanted gel instead of polish 3 separate times because "polish will chip in 2 days". She also asked me which color I wanted on my toes 3 separate times even though I had picked my color already, and then ended up selecting a color for me. I'm happy with the overall results of the pedicure but the process itself was a bit stressful. Payment - I paid with card and tipped cash and was told "next time pay with cash". Overall, I was happy with the end results and the speed and availability, but there are some things service-wise that could be improved upon.
