Myra and Tiny made both experiences uncomfortable by questioning whether I even had an appointment. During one visit, I confirmed to Tiny that I did have an appointment, and she simply walked away without acknowledging me further. Eventually, Joey was assigned to me, while Tiny went to assist another client who had requested a more expensive service. Joey, on the other hand, was skilled, incredibly sweet, and professional. She was the only positive part of both visits, and I truly appreciated her kindness.

Terry helped me with my manicure and Theresa helped me with my pedicure. Terry helped me pick out a shade thats white but almost opaque. I believe it's called Funny Bunny. She shaped my nails slightly almond so that it looks longer too. Terry took her time with my nails and really made sure to clip my cuticles as much as possible. However, she over-clipped one of my cuticles and it tore off some extra skin making it sting during the UV. Nonetheless, the. nails came out gorgeous and I got lots of compliments at my engagement party. As for my pedicure, Theresa did a great job of paying attention to detail on my toes. She did not rush the process and took her time making sure my feet were cleaned and that my toes had the perfect amount of polish on them. Overall decent experience here. Both Terry and Theresa were extra friendly and did a great job with my nails. As for pricing, definitely steeper than other nail salons as its a chain and is located at the Irvine Spectrum, so expect to pay a premium for your nail services!

My nails have been growing healthily since I've been seeing her. I refuse to go anywhere else to get my manicure done now haha. I added a few pictures from her work the past few months. For pedicures I am open to any nail tech, however, I frequently purchase the deluxe package and it comes with a 10 minute massage and extra scrubs. Tammy makes this well worth it! It feels like a professional massage. Sometimes I'm bummed when they quickly add the exfoliants and/or go really light on the massage, but Tammy made it feel like a professional massage and my skin feels SO soft. I will be requesting her for pedicures from here on out!

I visited this salon for the first time while running errands nearby, but so I got in quickly, but…read morethe technician wasn't a good listener. I asked for long nails that were also uniform, but she didn't get that. The polish seemed old, so I needed extra coats, which meant a long dry time, and still, some nails got messed up. When I told her, she just smiled and walked away. The lady at the front desk didn't even ask how everything was, which was really disappointing. And on top of that, there was a three-minute massage included, but it was probably the worst hand massage I've ever had--she just kept going over my fingers again and again instead of massaging my hands or arms. This experience was a waste of time and money, and now I have nails I need to fix. P.S. I typed this earlier, and by the time I got home 45 minutes later and started opening my mail, my nails were completely ruined. This is officially the worst manicure I've ever gotten. I've never left a 1-star review before, but this is a first. I wouldn't recommend this local salon to anyone, or at least the technician I had. I am glad I got her name before I left too.
