Located at the very corner of a mini mall, this place had a really good selection of specific Japanese gel brands which was perfect because it was exactly what I was looking for. They only carry a very specific set of brands so definitely don't come here if you're looking for a huge variety like most of the other nail supply shops. The staff that works here is also super nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend looking online for what you want before coming in the store or even better yet place your order online for pick up in store. read more

Nail Labo - Apres and Presto Japanese gel products - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Hello time to update my review. New owners and a manager Aurora Zack has taken over from the previous owners. I been shopping since they first opened in early 2000. I dealt with Yoko san and another guy who left shorty after we started. We also had an account with Naillabo Japan where we occasionally traveled and shopped. Over the last year since Shinya was handing over ownership we had problems with back order items, and others items. We order and pay then later we get email says sorry item not available. July 3 2025 we ordered and an airbrush compressor was showing fulfilled but item was on back order. I called was told back ordered and would get a call when it arrived. I called 3 more times over late July and August, and finally told it was Being held in customs for clearance. Each call I was continually offered refund but said no. 09/09-2025 item was delivered but no call. Later excuse was we were closed all that week. Aurora when I called asked about her email on 09-04-25 saying we will let you know when it is ready! No comment. So I hung up the phone. Later get email says sorry we refunded item. I called they said since I was rude They did refund . Later they added to inventory and at a higher cost but I was told by Aurora Zack not to call them back and they would deal directly with my wife and not me, losing a 20 plus year Client must be ok. read more

Amazing place. They have all famous brand with reasonable price. I am so glad i met Aurora, she is stunning artist, and most important Aurora so passionate with her job and willing to spread out her skills to others. Specially at Nail Labo has training class frequently. Hope all nail techs will come. I highly recommend this place. read more

I really like Nail Labo. I typically order online, but was finally able to make it in person for once. The shop itself is actually really small, but it looks like it extends to eh side and back pretty significantly, which makes sense, since they sell online as well. They carry Ageha and Presto, along with Apres. They carry more brands, but I think those are the main ones. They don't stock newer stuff immediately online, but I noticed that they have more of it in the shop itself. Everything is kept really clean, and I would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

I totally loved this place. The staff is so friendly amazing, the products were awesome and new to me. These products I believe are Japanese so that was cool learning new nail products. I really enjoyed coming to this place. Totally recommend 1000% read more

Had exactly what I needed! I wanted to get the Apres gelx supplies but it's so overpriced on other resellers. I didn't want to buy the full box of tips from apres since I'm not a nail technician to need all sizes for other people, but this place has the refills for a GREAT price! Only had to buy the sizes I need for myself. Super easy to find, neat and organized little store that's basically a hidden gem! Wish I knew about this store sooner. So glad I didn't buy off of eBay which was double the price it was sold here. Plus I don't have to pay for shipping because this store is super close to my house, so I can go in person to get them. The workers were nice and didn't hover over me, which I liked because other nail supply stores, the workers basically follow me around and ask me so many questions. LOVE this place! They also accept card and have a point system which is so convenient and nice. definitely will come back!! read more

I had the most amazing experience here! I was looking for somewhere clean and professional to shop, given so many options in this area i am so grateful i ended up here. The staff here is amazing and so helpful. I felt comfortable asking basic questions regarding gel polish application, since i'm a beginner practicing on myself. If you want quality products along with a professional and pleasant shopping experience go to Nail Labo! read more

All the ladies that would at Nail Labo are so sweet and helpful! They are there to answer any questions and are great at recommending alternatives if something isn't available. read more

Bad customer service!! The girl in front desk so mind and not good at all with cleint .we was there many times to buy stuff for our salon , I did not know the cute bag is for someone else I just look but she mad at me open her yes asked me what did you do ? And we we leaving she didn't say thank you or Something!!! How did you spend 100$ for 5-10 minutes and customer service like shit ! read more

Ok, I'm totally shook at the amazing service I received from Ryoko at Nail Labo. Everything is crazy right now. Corona, murder bees, natural disasters, riots, etc. I get my nails done occasionally, but thought it might be fun to do my own gel x nails while in quarantine. I ordered a mess of stuff from Nail Labo, changed my mind on one of the items and emailed them to cancel it. Tbh, I really expected them to say no. They said yes and still shipped my order the next day, which I received the following day. :) I received the items, and eagerly tried the set out. It's awesome, though there's a steep learning curve -- I went through maybe 18 gel x nails before I finally glued those suckers down properly (and they're still looking a little ratchet, tbh) -- but I noticed the presto top coat I ordered had a crusty ass brush. I emailed NL looking for a fix -- initially, I was thinking maybe soaking it in acetone would work? But I was worried the brush hairs might dissolve or something funky might happen. However, they are sending me a new top coat, which I genuinely appreciate because they didn't have to. Hell, they could've just sent me the brush and that already would've been going above and beyond. They definitely have my business in the future as long as my ratchet salon is open :') read more

Love this nail store I order on line because I live in nyc and if anything you can call them for any issues but to be honest I have no reason to they are super professional and always have my orders sent right away I will continue to order from here and recommend it to everyone's doing nails! read more

Nail Labo - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This is my secret go-to for nails polish/gel. I found this place because of my japanese nail artist used this in Asia. And you need the nail specialty licenses to purchase nail labo products in Asia! Insane, right?? Anyway I haven't found a better quality gel polish, except prob the salons I visited in Korea, they carried similar great gel products too. Now I am excited to live closer to this place! Will visit in person soon ~ read more

Drove over 3 hours to get to this location. It's really confusing because online it states there's is curbside pick up. No one was answering the phone because I thought it was too early. Get there and a sign is posted that location is closed till further notice. It looks like they moved out in the middle of the night. I love their products!! I just did love the non-communication. read more

Christina was such a wonderful help with picking what supplies to buy. Very high quality gel and accessories. Would definitely recommend. The ladies gave me a mini tutorial! Thanks so much! Can't wait to return read more

I came to get Apres gel x supplies but browsed around the store as well. I want it all... so many goodies to pick from! High quality products. So clean, organized, and professional. They offer online orders and a point system. Not only can you accumulate points but they can look up previous purchases (comes in handy when you forget which color you bought already and need a quick search). I highly recommend and I can't wait to come back for more products. read more

I was hoping that the store front would be open but it's curbside pick up only. The only down side is I love to look at the color swatches in person. But they have presto gels! And Apres tips, had to take advantage of the sale. I ordered online and did pickup, service was fast and the lady that helped me was super sweet. Will come back! :) read more

Pop Nails been using Presto Gel products since they 1st Open the Salon. Love the color they had and customer love the Presto Gel Color. Also good for design the Nails Art too. read more

See all

Absolutely in love with this store! I've been here twice and I cannot get enough!! People here are friendly. The store is clean and completely in order. They ask you to not open the bottles which is a bummer but they have swatches in all the gels for you to see. Also by them asking not to open the bottle gives you piece of mind. This means that what you buy wasn't meddled with. This store has just about everything you need to create some fabulous nails. The gel brands they carry are Japanese brands only. read more

It's very impressed by the product quality. have bought the whole set of the collection on my first visit. The girl working there helped me a lot on the product test and also discounts. I love to give it maximum stars for a "thank you" I love products made in Japan, not China tho. read more

They are the NICEST PEOPLE here! I am definitely not a nail professional but when I go here they help me with all my questions and are so kind and considerate. Such excellent customer service! read more

i always get the most amazing customer service with this company. from their online presence to over the phone, their great service is consistent. the other day i called with a question about airbrushing and i got off the phone to do more research and the sweet representative called me back with her own research which actually helped me greatly in figuring out my airbrush kit. i love nail labo!!! read more

I am so happy whenever I visit Nail Labo. Its so very unfortunate that they are closed on weekends. I purchase mostly online and their processing time and shipping time are very quick. My first two orders had errors, however they responded very quick to fix their mistakes. Every time I visit the store, the gentleman or the lady that is there helps me sample the colors and are always very pleasant to help. They recently hosted nail seminar with Ageha which I couldn't attend, but wished I did! Their customer service is on point! read more

Nail labo is incredible! I live in the Bay Area só I've only been inside the store once (was a great experience, wayyyy cleaner and more organized than the nail supplies we have up here) but every time I order online my shipment comes exactly as expected and on time. They keep inventory very well stocked and the prices for how high quality the products are are totally justified! Keep up the great work nail labo! read more

They are so amazing. #1 place to buy Japanese gel. I usually buy online and they ship my orders within the end of the day. Love them!

i came in for an apres mail set and aurora was the sweetest person ever. she answered any question i had no matter how silly it was and made sure i left with everything i needed and was fully educated in what i wanted to do. she was so helpful and ot was my first time going there. i want to go back just because of her! i now know where to go for all my nail needs. thank you so much aurora, it meant more than you know! read more

I have been searching for gel led polish that would last, I often find Japanese products to be reliable. The presto polish is to die for, easy application and unique colors that aren't every day run of the mill. read more

Love this place! Little hidden gem. I like being able to make my shopping list while browsing online on their website and then going to purchase the items in person at their store so I can see everything. All the good stuff in one stop! PS if there is any big beauty convention happening you can count on them being closed because they are attending the show so call before going in. read more

I walked in today to buy a top coat and the girl was very nice and set expectations that since they personally have not tested the top coat with other gel polishes they can't guarantee 100% success of the product however she mentioned their customers have not issues. Well I'm here to say I gave the top gel to my nail lady and no issues reported. I'm very happy. read more

I went to nail labo during their business hours and it's closed. I don't know if they went to lunch or they have just recently gone out of business, but it's very disappointing to be on the road for about an hour only to find the shop closed. read more

Very nice people. Great color selection. Everything is very easy to find and they have actual testers. You can try all the colors before you buy them. read more

Went to the store today bought some nail polish, etc spent about $100. The cashier is Japanese, she is the only person in the store that help customer. She is the first Japanese person that I met in life that happened to be a very rude person, no smile, answer my question with a not happy attitude. If you are not happy helping your customer DON'T work in the store, work in the warehouse or something else. Won't be coming here anymore, the customer service is very bad. read more

This nail supply store is SO INCONSISTENT with their hours!! I've come here 2-3x and they are ALWAYS CLOSED. They don't even update their hours here on Yelp--it says "Open" so I come and they ARE NOT OPEN. UPDATE YOUR CLOSED DAYS HERE!! Such a waste of time. Bad business, they don't even upload their open and closed days. read more

I love Nail Labo. The fact that you can walk in and purchase Presto products is amazing!! There is plenty of parking and it is very close to the 22 fwy. The only thing I would suggest is to get better lighting. read more
