    Gel mani 8 days old, already peeling from side.
    Lanny H.

    I needed to take one more star off. My gel mani is 8 days old, it's already started to peel from the side. I'm on my vacation, this is very disappointing. I've had $20 gel mani's that last at least 2 weeks.

    I found Jennifer through Yelp and she did not disappoint! Ever since I found her, I've been going to her every month! She's always so patient and accommodating. Her service is 5 stars on its own, and her work is amazing! She can do whatever designs you want, or even help you decide what you would like. Her station is always so clean and tidy, and she does your nail really quick. She may be fast with her work, but her attention to details are immaculate. Never once I have been unsatisfied by her. I'm so glad I found her, and will continue to go to her! I forgot to add that even after 4-5 weeks, the gels are intact with no issues!

    Simple gel nails :)

    I found my go to place when I want to treat myself to some cute gel nails! Book an appointment by shooting her a text or kakao. She works quick but does a great job! She's also super reasonably priced! She's located inside echan hair salon! Lots of parking and right across delicious hanyang restaurant!

    Jennifer is amazing! I first went to her last year to get my nails done for my engagement. I texted her and was able to schedule an appointment the same week. It was my first time getting professional gel nails and I wasn't really sure of the design I wanted. Jennifer was so patient and suggested alternatives to stones as I was hesitant on stone designs. She was so quick and detailed oriented! The finish looked so high quality and it lasted for 6 weeks! I loved how they came out and went back to her for my engagement photoshoot & my civil ceremony nails. She was able to squeeze me in despite my last minute request. Now, my wedding is in 2 weeks and I already booked her again for my wedding mani & pedi! :) 7/23 Edit -- Just got my wedding mani & pedi done and Jennifer was as amazing as ever! It took a little over an hour for BOTH services (design mani / 1 color pedi). Love how quick, yet detailed Jennifer is. My nails are wedding & honeymoon ready!

    Pretty nails

    Highly recommend Jennifer !! She was so nice and accommodating to what I wanted. I gave her a couple of reference photos and she exceeded my expectations. Perfect for korean style nails

    Jennifer does an amazing job at her craft. She's excellent and has great attention to detail. I've been going to regular nail salons but I've been looking for someone who has the skill for design. My lash extension lady recommended her to me as many of her customers go to Nail J and I am so glad I did! Shes meticulous, fast, and super talented. Her nail station is located inside Echan Hair. Also, she specializes in gel manicure! She does it exactly the way I love them!!

    My middle finger is lifting.  And my wedding finger is horribly done.

    So she offered me 2 times I can come in. I chose at 450 on a friday. That Friday she texted me if I can come earlier. I said I can't. She persistently kept texting me to come in earlier but I could not I was at work. She sounded like she just wanted her day to be done. But she was the one that gave me the option at 450. I got there at 445. And she was with another client, so I had to wait. No big deal. But by the time she got to me, she was in a complete rush. She did not take her time with me and you can see it by the work she did on my nails. I'm so embarrassed by how my nails look. They look like cheap press one. But I guess with the press ons the line would be straight. My gel is even lifting already. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. THE REVIEWS MADE ME WANT TO COME TO HER BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE EXCELLENT WORK BUT ITS NOT. IF SHE WANTED TO LEAVE EARLY SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE OFFERED A 450 APPOINTMENT. I CANT BELIEVE I PAID 50.00 FOR THIS SET. I GOT RIPPED OFF 50.00. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE

    This is my second review and I've been coming to Jennifer for the past 7 months. I am still impressed and very satisfied with her work! I love that I can come in, show her a picture on pinterest of how I want my nails done, and she is able to replicate it. What I also love is that she gets my nails within the hour or less. This helps me tremendously with timing especially since I just had a baby recently. I highly recommend anyone to come and book an appt with her! She may not have an availability on the same day like other places, but it's worth the wait! And the gel nails last a long time! I get my nails done on average every 5-6 weeks, and my nails haven't been chipped or ruined. I work in an animal hospital, so that says a lot.

    Checking in! Let's see how my nails turn out :D
    Joo K.

    Jennifer is amazing! Coming from Korea, I went to great nail salons there and I was very picky in finding a good one here in States. I've tried different nail salons here but Honestly Jennifer is the best. She is very quick. She doesn't ask unnecessary questions. Perfect nail! Tip: Make sure to make appointment!!! Her Saturday schedule is usually booked. Plenty of parking space! She shares the space with the hair salon so the hair products for perm will smell sometimes. However, your nail will be done in no time.

    Stephanie H.

    Jennifer is the only person I come to get my nails done! She has all the cutest bling and powders and is really skilled at what she does. I show up with complicated design pics and she always delivers. She's also really nice~ I highly highly recommend coming here!

    Lauren K.

    I used to get my nails done for $10 at random shops because I didn't think it was worth it to invest in cute nails. However after I went to Korea for vacation I saw how nice the nail salons were and I just decided to throw caution into the win and splurged on nice nails for the first time in my life. Once you treat yourself there is no going back..... After I got back I looked for a Korean nail shop that was reasonably priced and close to Irvine. My friend recommended I check out Jennifer so as soon as I got my paycheck I zoomed over to Buena Park to get a gel mani and regular pedi. It was super easy to book an appointment (just text the number) and she was super cautious with my nails and took really nice care of them! They've been looking pretty shitty ever since I got back but Jennifer basically brought them back to life! I'd definitely recommend her if you want to pamper yourself or if u want a little something special after a long week :)

    Ring finger started lifting - happened same night after manicure

    Summary: this place is mainly for short term designs, not long term wear from my experience. My niece and I had our first visit here this past weekend. I appreciated when making this appointment that she was providing us various time slots so that my niece and I could go together. Our sessions went fairly quick. I think it took about 1.5 hours for both of us. She was very accommodating to the designs we showed her pictures of. We were amazed that she had every stone, glitter, colors, etc. that matched what we sent her. We were both very satisfied with the designs however the quality was a bit poor. I had found that the gel has started lifting on a couple nails that same night. Not much thorough prep was done for my nail bed to ensure that the manicure would be secure. Unfortunately this is not the place for me. The quality is not what I had hoped for.

    Jennifer does an absolute AMAZING job at nails. Her work is so good, other places i've been to don't even compare! Her attention to detail is unmatched and I always leave feeling like I got exactly what I wanted. As someone who loves unique, good quality nails, Jennifer executes so well. You definitely get what you pay for (and even more honestly!) In addition to the cute designs, these nails last so long! My polish wasn't cracked or chipped. My previous set had lots of gems and I didn't lose a single one. I was super impressed! I highly highly recommend coming to Jennifer.

    2 weeks out. No lifting, peeling, stones did not budge or get stuck in my hair, and soooo many compliments.

    See all

We've been loyal customers for a long time, which makes this experience even more disappointing. We made an appointment for 9:00 AM and arrived 10 minutes early. We were among the first people there and were seated right away. They began my pedicure, and my daughter sat in the chair next to me waiting for her manicure and pedicure. However, after we sat down, about 10 other people came in for pedicures. Every single one of them was seated and helped before my daughter. The staff expected the same technician who was doing my pedicure to also do both my daughter's manicure and pedicure, even though we had an appointment. Meanwhile, everyone else who walked in after us was being helped by separate technicians. It was extremely frustrating and unfair. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time we've experienced poor service here recently. Because of that, we won't be returning.

I chose a white that had a sheer look to it so I understood it's not a solid color but a little more effort in having it be at least consistent would have been nice. The lady was a little rough with cleaning my cuticles and the whole service felt very rushed. I was trying to show in the pictures the inconsistency with the shape and part of the nail actually not being covered with paint. She overextended onto my skin and still ended up leaving the cuticles very choppy. In addition, I don't know what it is, but something was left on the polish before it was cured so now it's stuck in the nail. If I was from the area I definitely would not be returning here
