    Hannah B.

    Spent $65 TWO days ago... a nail just fell off and honestly the service I received was terrible. I was going to let it go but the pictures don't even do justice, the last few pictures are of the inside of my nails being right after I left the salon. My cuticles are still awful and the lady nicked a couple of fingers leaving me bleeding without saying sorry. Each hand she did something different - I noticed the first set of my GELX was filed down for the glue- which is how it should be... the other hand was not which is probably why my nail just fell off. So disappointed, I wanted to try a new place but I'm tired of wasting my money

    Halloween nail ready. Nancy did an amazing job. Requested nightmare before Christmas nails. She clean up my cuticles and shaped my nails beautifully. Store is always welcoming and friendly.

    LOVE NANCY

    You HAVE to get your nails done here!!! Love visiting Nancy! She nails it everytime and matches the vibe I want so so well! 10/10 recommend this place everytime!

    I started coming to Nail Lab when we moved "up the hill" to Costa Mesa (from Huntington Beach) and they've been great! I don't do anything real special- simple spa pedicure... but the owner/manager is a sweet man and always feels bad if they're too busy to take me right away as a walk-in! The technicians are sweet and I never get the vibe they're trash talking customers like I have at some places. They're generally pretty quiet actually. They also play great music (usually).

    I came in near closing, I requested a dip French tip and the kindly accommodated even though though there was only 30 minutes till they closed. They sat me down and got my nails soaking while Nancy finished up with a client and then moved over to me. Nancy gave me exactly what I wanted, she was helpful with picking colors, and fun to chat with! Overall, good quality and good service! The only thing I would note is there wasn't much time spent in my cuticles, they weren't pushed back or cleaned. Since they stayed for me past closing I still will give fhe 5 stars, but it is something I noticed and I paid full price so it was something I paid for.

    By far my favorite nail salon in CM! The whole staff is friendly, kind, attentive to details and ensure you have a pleasant experience. When I'm in the mood for a design set, I always opt for Nancy, she is the best! And with regular mani/pedi, you can't go wrong with any of the other lovely nail tech ladies, they're all wonderful! They have SO many color options and different techniques, from regular polish, gel, dip powder and gel x. This salon has it all!

    I have been coming here for years and the service here never ceases to amaze me. Nancy is the best!

    I have been getting my nails done by Nancy here for 5 years now. She's amazing! Her work is always high quality and never got disappointed before. She's good at keeping up the trend and has new stuff every time I visit there now. So I always get whatever she recommends each time. I normally grt dipping powder and cat eye or chrome on top, but they last for full 3 weeks and don't chip much though I hand wash dishes every night and type on my laptop every day. I think it could last longer but I just can't stand long nails so I come get my nails done every 3 weeks. Highly recommended! I got my pedicure done by Linda for the first time and she was great too!

    I really like it. Hana and Tamy Did a good job.

    Always AMAZING service and work. They always are able to squeeze me in for an appointment and Hanna is my go to person. Everyone else has always been very friendly and I always love my nails. This is my nail spot!

    NANCY is the best. Been coming to her for 5 years, and she never disappoints! She pays attention to detail, and always gives the best advice if you're indecisive about a color. You'll leave very very happy after getting serviced by her. THANK YOU NANCY for the last 5 years

    Ask the Community - Nail Lab & Spa

    Is the gel dip the same as polydip? Where it can be filled, instead of taken off and then redone.

    How long to acrylics last?

    How much are gel and acrylic?

    Do you guys do SNS nails?

    Yes we do. We offer over 400 different colors of dip powder. A set on your natural nails is $38 and can go up in price if we add on tips or other embellishments (nail designs, chrome, jewels).

    How much is it for the dip powder on natural nails?

    $35 the first time, $38 after that to pay for the removal. IMO, the best set in Costa Mesa. I haven't gone anywhere else in 6 months! Super huge selection of colors.

    Do you guys take appts?

    Of course! Please call our salon to book your next appointment.

    How much more is it for Matt acrylic nails?

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.

That said, I came in specifically for an organic manicure but ended up leaving with a regular dip/gel service. While my nails initially looked great, by day 10 they were already chipping and lifting, which isn't typical for dip or gel. I reached out to see if they could help resolve it, but was told they wouldn't redo the service without charging again. That was disappointing, especially given the short wear time. It's a cute spot with a great concept, but if long-lasting results are important to you, that's something to keep in mind before booking an appointment here.
