I don't know why there aren't lines out the door for Nails 2000. When I was new to Seal Beach, I tried a lot of other nail salons, but none compared to Nails 2000. It's relaxing, clean and inviting and they're priced competitively. I've worked with Diane, Nancy and Anna and they are all excellent. They do a very thorough and professional job and while they are conversational, they focus on their work so you're in and out of there in a reasonable time. I really love Nails 2000, and I highly recommend them as one of the very best kept secrets in Seal Beach. Catherine H. read more

I got a gel pedicure here for $45. The nail tech did a good job on my toes, and the polish came out clean and neat, but there wasn't really a "wow" factor overall. The pedicure included a thorough toe cleanup, which I appreciated, but the heel work was very basic. The massage was also extremely short, about a minute total, so it felt a bit rushed in that part. On the positive side, I didn't feel rushed during the appointment, and I liked that there was no pressure to make conversation if you prefer a quiet experience. However, the overall vibe felt a bit awkward. The tech didn't introduce herself or ask for my name, which made the experience feel a little impersonal, almost like I was a burden rather than a valued client. Overall, it's a decent, no-frills pedicure, but not something that stands out or feels particularly welcoming. read more

Love coming here, Diane is very attention to detail and always does an amazing job on my nails. I showed her a picture and she went above and beyond my expectations. The entire staff is really nice and friendly too, I've even taken my grandparents here and they are so nice an patient with them. This is our go to nail spot. We've been coming for years. I can't wait to go back. read more

Julie is awesome. Very relaxing. She's does a great job and is very gentle but doesn't take forever .

I have lived in Seal Beach for almost 8 years now and just found this gem at the beginning of this year. I finally found my nail salon. This is a no frills salon but always consistent and clean. It's a middle of the road time range spent there. I have been to nail salons that take 3 hours. I just can't sit that long. And it's not a quickie 45min-1 hour appt that just rushes to get to the next one. I was lucky to be able to walk-in and get serviced my first visit. They are always busy! An appointment isn't necessary but highly suggested so you don't wait. The girls are very honest in terms of wait times and being busy. A lot of salons will under estimate wait time and you end up waiting an hour until they are free so you don't go elsewhere. Not this place. Most of their customers are repeat scheduled clients that have been going there for many years. The older generation know a good thing when they experience it, and I am following their lead. Julie does my hands. I get a hard gel overlay/fill with gel polish. Julie does amazing every single time. I never walk out disappointed. Julie went on vacation for a month and a couple other girls did my nails. I got the same attention and treatment from each one. I also get the happy feet pedicure with gel polish. That includes callus remover, paraffin wax, and a 15 min massage. It's just heaven. I'm not usually a person who likes to get massages but I melt when they do it. And the paraffin wax keeps my feet so soft. I used to get my nails done every 4 weeks to save money and I just wasn't very happy with my nails. Now I look forward to my bi-weekly appt. I kind of wish my nails would grow faster so I had an excuse to go every week. Oh and of course the cherry on top, the price is reasonable! I have paid more and been so underwhelmed. This is such a benefit for the nail techs because the extra I would've paid elsewhere goes to them as their tip. read more

Nails 2000 - Hard gel with gel polish American manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

The staff here are nice and remembers you, been here a few times in the last 2 years and their prices have gone up (just like everywhere else) so I understand. Their pedicure and gels lasts a while and they take their time doing your nails. The photo shows a regular manicure. It's not perfect but it stayed on for a few days without cheeping. If you think it needs another layer of coating, just ask. They'll fix it for both manicure or gel. read more

I am a repeat customer of Nails 2000. Always feel like I am treated well and did not feel like the work is rushed. Quality of service 100%!

Quick, efficient pedicure. Little upsell pressure. I take my own polish. There should be no contact of the salon bottle tip (cuticle lotion. Alcohol) of any kind touching your skin. Since this is the practice, all of us have the opportunity to have transfer of skin flora to the next person w poss spread of bacteria. Fungus etc. Lets help stop this practice - just request no touch. read more

Great service and excellent pricing too. I tried Nails 2000 on a whim and have gone back twice since then.

So I was referred by a few locals to this nail salon. I live an hour a way and work in Seal Beach so by the time I get home no salon can take me. I made an appointment. I go in 05/21/2025. I ask for full set french ombre almond shape and pedicure. She proceeds to put pink powder on my whole finger I have never seen french ombre done that way and have been getting my nails done for 40 years. She finishes and paints the tips white. We'll that is not ombre. They looked horrible like she didn't know what she was doing. On top of that the filing and shaping was off just not shaped or filed right. I'm going on 2 hours being there for a full set and pedicure i have never waited that long for those 2 services. I told her just match the nails to the color of my feet. Well $95 dollars later and highly disappointed. Such a shame and waste of money because my acrylic is pink. I asked for pink and white ombre not pink. I wish she would have said she didn't know how to do that. read more

Never sorry when I leave this place. They do such a meticulous job and always have creative ideas no matter what you're looking for. read more

I have been a client at Nails 2000 for more than 17 years. Almost 100% of the staff has worked there the entire time. Everyone is friendly, the prices are reasonable and their work is alway great! Anna is my usual manicurist. If she isn't available, everyone who works there is also good. I am moving 100+ miles out of the area. I am really going to miss Nails 2000 and all the employees! read more

Thanks so much Anna for always doing a great job! Will be back! They are top notch customer service :) read more

Nails 2000 - Love!!!!! Thanks so much! - Nail Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I got my eyebrow and face waxed and she burned me so badly I now have scars that are peeling on my face. This used to be my favorite place and I was a regular, but I won't ever be able to go back again. At the end, my biggest mistake was saying yes to paying, because the pain I was in - I should have definitely refused. Avoid getting anything waxed here, you might not get the right employee. read more

When I stepped into this place, I immediately could smell the fumes of acetone and nail polish. It gave me a headache...they got to get some air circulation going on in here to combat the strong smell. I thought the lady did a good job with my pedicure though. The only thing that really peeved me though was that she asked me if I was pregnant. LOL, cardinal rule of girl code is...never ask a lady if she is pregnant unless you're positive she is pregnant. Ai yayaya.... and you could bet I went to the gym that weekend haha read more

Love Kim at Nail 2000, always does a fantastic job! Never cuts corners, especially the underneath. I can usually always find one thing somewhat wrong that will bother me till the next fill, but never with Kim. She's my nail superstar. read more

I am so happy with my experience at Nails 2000!! I walked in for the first time today without an appt and was immediately seated with Van. She was super sweet and expressed concerned over the state of my nails! They have been splitting and super thin for a few months now (after a bad gel set) and I thought a full acrylic set was the only solution....but after talking for awhile about what I wanted i decided on a gel set. She kept saying they do gel differently there and boy did they! She was super gentle! I hate the little round electric filer and told her that and she said that it won't feel any different than a regular file - and she was right! The gel is like a base that's on my nail now (not just polish!) maybe others have experienced that kind of gel before, but it was new for me. I love it! I will definitely going back to this place for a fill! So happy I stumbled upon this place! read more

I was recommended to try Kim at Nails 2000. She was amazing. My nails are gorgeous. I was out of there in 40 minutes. I highly recommend Kim at this salon!!! Best to call for an appointment as it's a busy salon.... read more

I went for the first time to get a pedicure and gel manicure. Thank goodness I called to make an appointment because they were very busy! They had a hand sanitizer station at the door and you must wait outside until your technician is ready in order to accommodate social distancing which I appreciated. Anna did a fantastic job and explained different options for my nails (I opted for gel vs dip and loved it!). I already booked my next appointment! read more

Love this place. I've been coming here for several years. I have tried other places just for convenience but always come back because the way they do my gel is awesome. The ladies are always nice and professional. Very comfortable place to get my nails done. read more

I drive about an hour to get my nails done by Kim. I have had acrylic nails for over a decade and have been to many salons near me (and they are not nearly as good as Kim)! She is great with acrylics! The salon is recently remodeled and very bright and airy. I recommend Kim highly! read more

Tried this place out a few times.. Great first impression got in great job no appt. 2nd time Van seemed to be having a bad day didn't even talk to me the whole time she did my nails. She does a great job. 3rd time made an appt for 5:00 they don't start until 5:45 I leave shop at 7:20. No massage at all to my mani pedi gel my daughter got here nails done too. Both 2nd and 3rd time funny how they charged me $12 more for the same exact treatments I got both times. My 8 year old got a hand massage I didn't get anything and I tip at least $20, so I feel i deserve a little pamper. So last straw today I walk in...mind u I drive from lb passing numerous other nail shops to go here and walk in and 3 ladies sitting there doing nothing 1 working on someone and she says we are busy. Well it looks like u r always to busy with bad customer service. I give 2 stars cause my nails look good when done but I ask for coffin shape only 2 nails came out that way. Oh ya and lets not forget that u can totally tell that they talk u know what about most the customers that walk in. So obvious ladies we ain't stupid!!!! U go from quiet and then stare someone down then go on to loud chatting in ur language about whoever walked in. Not a comfortable environment. I left a nail shop that I was a customer of for 2 years for the same reason and I got way better VIP treatment for same price with back massage arm massage and hand feet and legs. Its rude!!! I will not be wasting my time here again rather pay more somewhere else for nicer treatment...and did walked right in to Lavender nail and spa and 5 ladies jump up with great customer service to help me. Last I forgot the chairs barely work at Nails 2000 such carelessness the hours post online say close at 4 am I let them know they acted like I was making it up and it still states those hours. read more

Read the reviews and decided to try Nails 2000. I am so glad that I did. I got a manicure and requested the new OPI shellac gel polish. The girl who did my nails did an amazing job. The best manicure I have ever had. She took her time to make sure that they were perfect. I love them! I was visiting the area, but will be moving here soon. I will continue to go to Nails 2000. Definitely go to this nail salon!! read more

My search for a great nail salon is over! I have been to many nail salons in Seal Beach, and this is the best one of them all! The place is very clean, the girls are very nice and Diane really does an outstanding job on my nails, I get compliments on them all the time! The prices are very reasonable compared to the other salons in the area. I switched from acrylics to gel and am so happy I did. They are very gentle with the pedicures (which I appreciate) and don't hound you to add on all the extras. I love this place and look forward to going every two weeks! read more

I LOVE Ana and Diana at nails 2000. As you might guess, they are a busy full service salon. Walk-ins are welcome, but us regulars know to call ahead and they will work magic to fit you in or you can schedule regular appointments. Since they are near Leisure World, their prices are low and they are gentle. I prefer more deep tissue work during my spa pedicures and usually extra time as well and they always deliver. If you want something- Just ask! They bend over backwards here to please! They are very considerate English speaking women who are very worldly and well traveled. Don't mistake their accents for ignorance or it's your fault for being small minded and immature. I have been going to Ana for the past five years and feel very fortunate to have found her. I make sure to get a fresh gel mani and spa pedicure before traveling to my other residence in Arizona- They are that good! I pick a color or let Ana pick it and sit back and relax. My nails look fabulous and my Boyfriend always notices the fresh polish on the claws and paws. Try them and you won't be disappointed. I have had regular nail appointments for the past 15+ years and this is only my third person I trust with my nails. read more

I was looking for a new nail salon and happy I stumbled across Nails 2000. Kim did a fantastic job on my nails. I'm definitely going back.

I've been coming here since 2002, and have always received great manicures & pedicures. The prices are the best around, and Diane and the other ladies are wonderful! They always do their best to accommodate me if I happen to need them without having an appointment. You can't go wrong coming here. read more

LOVE these ladies. It's my regular stop for a mani/pedicure every time I head back to Southern California. Gentle, thorough and soothing.

Ok. I have mixed feelings about this place. I first arrived to this placed based on previous yelp reviews and realized that the place is set up nicely compared to other corner nail salons. They do use OPI for nail polish, however some of them where thinned with acetone. I wanted to replaced my gel nail color. Typically the process starts with the removal of the nail polish by soaking in acetone and moves on to the regular manicure -cuticles, shaping-, however this place removed the nail polish with a nail file completely... I concerned about my nails being thinned. The lady moved on to applying several coats of gel nail polish which made me feel like they actually took care of their customers but it got me concerned that my cuticles where not taken care of. the rest of the manicure went on as normal until the very end when the cuticles when pushed back and trimmed after the nail polish was applied. I am not one to be very picky so long as the end result is nice and it was until 2 days later when the gel nail polish started to lift up and collect dirt giving my 2 day gel nail manicure look like i had it done a month ago. :( Now I am left spending another 35 dollars in less than a week since they are far from where I normally roam and it will cost me more to go back and have then take care of it. On the positive side... the ladies where really nice, polite, and very patient. I just dont think the technique is all there. read more

Very cheap. Got my gel and pedicure. Gel color selection pretty bad and my toe nails got lumps from using a dry out nail polish . Will not go back - do yourself a favor and spend more money and go somewhere else! read more

Stumbled across this place because I was in the area and needed my nails done. Wanted gel manicure and regular pedicure. The gel manicure was PERFECT!!!!!!! They have so many colors to chose from!!! I was looking for a specific color and they were super helpful in finding it and making sure I liked it. Actually ended up finding out they have the color I wanted. They have a good selection of OPI colors which is hard to find. Price is fair, this is the best gel manicure I've gotten!! $45 for gel manicure, and regular pedicure. That's with tip included!! I will definitely be coming back here to get my gel done :) read more
