By far one of the best for nail care I've ever been to. I work right down the st and found this place driving by. I love this place! It has now become my go to. A little over priced but the service is worth it. The owner is so nice the staff is professional. They even have a karaoke machine (if you like to sing like me)! They use hot stones when they give you massages and it feels so relaxing. The decor is cute and honestly I've never been disappointed with my pedicures or manicures here. I definitely recommend anyone come here if they can. Jenna is fabulous! read more

Perfect Nails - Karaoke while waiting for nails to dry - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Love this place !!! Everyone is friendly and accommodating and the foot machine is amazing!!! I'm glad this place is close to my work I can stop on the way home and get a quality pedicure read more

This is the BEST nail salon around. Everyone is super friendly and there has never been a nail problem they could not fix or design challenge they could not make perfect. I have had everything from pencils to apples, blood splatter to zombies and loving stick figures passing hearts. The entire staff is amazing. I am in every two weeks, more because i want a new design rather than necessity due to chipped polish. Gel is the way to go! I have brought friends here for my karaoke birthday party (yes, singing and pampering are perfect together) and they still talk about all the fun we had and the uNique experience. read more

I love this place!! Not that I have a lot to compare with but this place is awesome! I arrived here early in the morning around 9:30 and they took me right away. I asked for a manly pedicure and manicure just to clean up everything. They got started right away and hooked it up. The massage was the best part! I would come here and pay just for the stone massage!!! This is my regular spot now and part of my routine. Definitely encourage everyone to check them out!!! Flip Approved! read more

The service was quick but not hurried. They were attentive and skilled.. In the past I have been inadvertently hurt by technicians who did not listen to me and attend my special needs. Kevin was wonderfully patient and deft in his work., Michelle was also gentle and efficient . It is nice to find people who take pride in their work. I have found a new resource in my neighborhood. Try them. read more

I had a wonderful experience here. I was instantly greeted and welcomed by the staff. They asked what services I was interested in. I told them I wanted gel manicure and normal pedicure and they said no problem. I really appreciate that they weren't pushy sales people trying to sell me on more services . The staff members are so friendly and kept good conversation. The pedicure I received was great. I loved the hot stone massage and they did a great job shaping my nails. Michelle did a wonderful job doing my manicure! She cleaned up my cuticles without any pain or bleeding and shaped my nails exactly how I asked. Im a very active person and their gel hold up great! I had a very pleasant experience here and would definitely go again! read more

Perfect Nails - Michelle did a great job and gel hold up perfectly!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I got the dip powder for the first time here. They are so thick and bumpy I am not happy and will not be back. It may be that the powder is too thick for me and would be anywhere I went but I do know that the the gel/acryclic should not be bumpy and uneven. read more

I love this salon. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Vivian introduced me to the dip it nails. It's a powder and it's fascinating to see how easy to do a french manicure Ask for Vivian or Kevin. It's refreshing to go to a salon where every one speaks English The salon is Korean owned. Every one is calm and efficient. read more

I definitely recommend this place. Michelle and the other lady were. They did an amazing beautiful job. Will be back again.

I got there about 6:40, the guy said no we can't help you. My car was being worked on, I figured I would go get a pedicure. Not going back

Not so perfect nails, Don't know why this place got over 4 stars. Yes they're nice and yes they speak English however that does not make up for the horrible job they did on my nails. A simple fill turned into an hour and a half long event. After all that my nails still don't look right. He put way too much powder and they are still super thick He seem very inexperienceed I was so irritated i didn't even bother getting gel i just got a top coat so i could get out as fast as possible. Probably going to get them removed within the next day or two. Awful experience overall. STAY AWAY!!!!! read more

Special Pedicure is amazing!!!!!!! They are super friendly here and take their time to get the job done! They have many nail polishes! Excellent with children my daughter loves coming here also! read more

I went to Perfect Nails for the first time today. I was running behind on my schedule and had to move my appointment several times.

The staff were kind. Michelle was very thorough and professional. The store accommodated to my last minute appointment. The nail salon was clean and overall a good & relaxing experience. Having been to a lot of nail salons, I really appreciated that the staff here didn't try to charge me for anything extra or sell me something I didn't come in for. Instead Michelle gave me advice to better take care of my nail. read more

I love them ! There is such a good environment and energy. ! These people are professionals! They respect the customer without giving a bad face. Customer service is amazing ! Clean place !! read more

A quiet little place, I went here with my mom. We booked an appointment in advance, which was good considering they only have about 5 chairs. While we were there several people has to be turned away because it is so small (there isn't even a place to wait inside). The owner is the saving grace of this place, you can tell she really cares and she is very quick and efficient and she helped me choose a great color for my toes. She did both my mom's and my pedicure, but allowed other people to to the 'prep' (massage, scrub, etc) as well as manicure. My mom was really pleased with her services; she got a massage and callous treatment. I however was far less than thrilled, I got stuck with a very distracted and moody guy named Kevin. Kevin paid hardly any attention to me the entire time. He constantly got up to check his phone or do thing across the room without so much as an 'excuse me'. When he did my nails, I would say about half the time he was looking distractedly in another direction and was definitely not gentle. He left oil and solutions all over my feet, legs, toes and hands (a sensation I could have really done without). He used towels which had been previously dirtied, and several times he dropped things on the ground, and without sanitizing it, continued to use it on me. His supplies were stored haphazard on a rack, so he had to dig around a lot to find anything, and everything was left opened, messy or both. When he 'asked' what color I wanted for my nails he ran over me and just said that he'd use the color I had on my toes (a very very dark brownish red which I felt uncomfortable with) and did a layer on both hands before I had a chance to protest. When I did raise concerns he got mad and told me 'well why didn't you say that before I did anything'. I apologized and told him that it was just too strong and he remained huffy while he took off the polish and replaced it with something much more suitable (a lovely glimmery coffee and milk brown). When I got home I looked more closely and realized he'd not even completely covered two nails. I called and asked to come back in and have it fixed and hoped I wouldn't have to deal with Kevin again. This was not the case, when I did go back he plopped me down and aggressively asked which nails and why. I told him, so he removed the polish and then proceeded to do the exact same crappy job. If I ever came here again, it would have to ensure that he didn't come within 5 feet of me or my nails. And it would only be because someone else dragged me here, for this junk I'd never come back by myself. read more

Dude. Any place where I can get a spa manicure and pedicure (they carry OPI and Essie), a hand massage, a neck wrap, and hot stone leg massage whilst simultaneously karaoking to my fav songs all for the price of $30 is going to be my favorite place in the world. OH- and once I brought approximately 3 bottles of champagne with me to celebrate a friend's birthday and we all got drunk and sang together. If you ask nicely, the lovely ladies will even yodel for you. Happy nails can suck it. read more

I walked in to this salon to get a fill. They didn't greet me immediately and when they did a man asked if I had an appointment, which is ironic since it was empty. You'd think they'd be happy to have a customer walk in. Then I walked out and passed the guy that "greeted" me talking to another customer and he actual chuckled as he saw I was leaving. That is flat out RUDE!!! If you want good service and great results go to Princess Nails or Klassy Nails in Lake Forest. read more

This place is pretty unsanitary. They reuse nails files that you can clearly see old skin and nail from the last customer on. I developed a rash all over my right pinky finger and my gel manicure chipped after 3 days. You spend less for your mani/pedi here but make it up in anti-fungal cream cost after. No no no! read more

First impression: I walk in and I was greeted very warmly and nicely by the women inside! A very welcoming place. I told them I wanted a mani pedi and I was seating immediately. I got a deluxe pedicure first. Perfectly warm water, great massage chair. My lady even gave me a warm aromatherapy neck pillow, how awesome! I told them I wanted the deluxe pedicure. It starts with her applying a callous treatment on my feet and then applying cuticle oil as well. While the callous treatment was working, she cut and filled my toe nails very well and very gentle! Then, she filed down my callouses. Let me tell you, I get pedicure every month but I can't believe how much came off, kinda gross to be honest lol! She also kept feeling my foot to make sure it was soft enough and if not, she kept going at it. Then, the leg sugar scrub which was nice, just the usual. I loved how the place was quiet and none of the manicurist were chattering with each other. The lady didn't try to talk to me much was nice because I like to relax. My feet are SO SOFT. Like, y'all need to understand. As far as pedicures go, I've gone to every damn nail salon in the tri county area and this is the absolute best pedicure I've ever gotten. Side note: her name is Kelly. I liked how she didn't use a timer while doing my massage because that is sooo annoying to me. The foot massage had the hot stoned too which was awesome! The manicure was really good. I had just bitten off my my beautiful long nails in anxiety while I was watching The Revenant :-( she actually made them look really nice and even suggested a more neutral color since my nails were so short! I really loveeeee this place and will absolutely be returning. read more

Came here because of Yelp reviews and loved it! Did a walk-in manicure for me and mom and loved our experience. The ladies were super friendly and it was a relaxed atmosphere. I also added in an eye brow wax and she was so attentive and didn't rush it. Definitely coming back! read more

Horrible experience. Nails look awful. Enough said. I'm only giving them 1 star cause this stupid thing is making me. Dont go here!

Vivian is the owner & absolutely FANTASTIC. I've had fake nails put on, had my real nails manicured & they do a fabulous job each & every time. I'm particularly picky & searched the OC far & wide to find a good nail salon. Though definitely not the cheapest nail salon in the area, they provide the best service and are the nicest folks around. Definitely will go back again soon! Co-workers are ALWAYS commenting on my nails after I get them done here! You won't be disappointed! read more

Don't waste your time here... very over priced. Nails fall off after a few days. Quality of spa pedicure is terrible. Massages are always rushed! read more

I went for the first time 2 days ago - I have to say, it was the best pedicure I've ever had. And I've gotten a lot of pedicures. I've never been so wowed that I felt like I should review any of those places. 1) super polite. I got there around 4:15 in the afternoon - they had some people, but cleared a spa chair for me. I waited about 10 minutes or so soaking my feet and they apologized for the wait. 2) they speak English fluently. And they don't sit around looking bored while talking smack about you in front of you thinking you don't understand them. 3) high quality products - they had OPI and Essie polishes. They also used Seche Vite top coat. 4) quality pedicure - I paid $35 for the special pedicure (standard spa pedicure is $20 and they have a fancy one for $50). The special pedicure came with a paraffin wax dip OR a mud mask for your legs/feet. It also included a scrub as well as a leg massage and callus remover. Let me tell you - most pedicure places do kind of a half assed job at the scrub - not here. Christy (she's awesome) really went to town on the scrub - she massaged and she seriously exfoliated my legs. I opted for the mud mask which was tingly and she did my feet to right below my knees. The massage was also really good like the other reviewers stated. And she even busted out some hot stones during the leg massage. Before she started the polish portion, she wiped down my legs and feet with hot towels as well. 5) attention to detail - I've never had anyone be so meticulous during a pedicure. Everything from the scrub, the mask, the callus remover, the massage to the polish - done very well. Christy was a perfectionist and took this pedicure seriously! She really took her time (and I didn't do anything complicated - just a simple pink polish) - it wasn't sloppy and she was so careful she never got any polish on my skin - she was THAT careful. My feet have seriously never looked better. 2 days later and I'm still happy when I look at my feet. Everyone in the shop was nice, all the clients looked happy, the place was clean, friendly and they had the Celtic Woman dvd on. They also had free wifi, which is awesome if you have a wifi tablet with you (like I did). I highly recommend this place if you're in the area and want to get your nails done. I'm planning on returning (even though it's a 20-25 minute drive from my place) for a gel manicure next time. read more

I absolutely loved coming here. I got a full set with pink and white powder and a pedicure that both looked amazing. All the ladies that work here are very friendly.The salon is very clean and you get your own little box of tools that they use specifically for you. They also used hot stones during my pedicure which felt AMAZING. I will definately be coming back read more

Gel manicure + pedicure is standard price, and has been the best nail salon I've been to so far for a gel manicure. Loved the selection of colors both the mani and pedi lasted for weeks! read more

First time here and I LOVE it! The ladies here are Korean and super friendly and sweet (and they speak perfect English). My nails look amazing (French gel) and my toes look beautiful too! Bonus: Vivian introduced me to Il Divo and I'm hooked! Def makin this my new go-to spot! read more

Perfect Nails - Gel French mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Been to countless nail salons in Lake Forest. They do the best gel manicure and pedicure here.. they put a lot of TLC in their work, and they even know me by name. I never leave feeling like "Eh, they could've done a better job" or "Damn, one of my nails is hella messed up". There are quite a few regulars that show up every time I come here, so I know I'm not the only happy camper. Also, they have the best selection in terms of colors, gel colors and designs. I've done gel manicure, pedicure, gel manicure with a design or two, and the whole accent nail bit. Even dudes come here often to get a mani/pedi. Sometimes, they do karaoke while you get yo nails did. Feels like a partay indeed. read more

Perfect Nails - best pedicure and manicure with design by Vivian and jenne - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Pretty bummed with my experience . Made an appointment at 5 for a mani pedi but they over booked themselves . Michell decided to both my mani pedi and raced through the whole process . She was rushing and did not do a good job . I have an infant at home so getting the free time to treAt myself comes rarely and this experience was not relaxing at all. I'm so frustrated and almost in tears . read more

Everyone here is so nice ! Great service great care ! Did the deluxe pedicure ($50) and full set ($35)

Made an appointment for 6:10pm (mind you they close at 7pm) to get a mani and a pedi. The entire staff was super friendly. I was treated like along time customer. Even got my eyebrows done too. Kevin did a wonderful job ok my pedi. I'm super ticklish on my feet and for me he did an amazing job. Vivian did a wonderful job on my "dip it" nails and my lil bling too. Mind you it's not your normally frilly (bells and whistle) place, but to me it doesn't matter what the place looks like (decoration wise) it matters on the service. That being said I would definitely recommend. read more

I absolutely love coming here to get a manicure and pedicure! All the ladies that work here are very friendly and accommodating. The salon is very clean which to me is a must when getting your nails done. You have your own little box of tools and implements that they use, so you know they do not use them on other clients. They use hot stones during your pedicure which is very pleasant. The karaoke is a plus because it makes the experience so much more enjoyable. read more

I've tried this place for over 2 years now as I had really liked my nails & the staff...but then..things changed. My nails were not filed in an "oval" shape that I love...they did not match in length...I felt as if I was being "overlooked". I kept going back thinking I'll give it another try but by my 3rd attempt, and still not happy....I'm sorry to say enough is enough. I work hard for my money, I pay good money for my nails and it's a time for me to relax. I have not felt this in months at Perfect Nails and am no longer a customer. I did try to talk to them about this but felt like they were not understanding or in agreement. Enough said...bye to my "Inperfect Nails.". I'm sadly moving on. read more

Made an appointment and arrived a little early. They got me right in, and starting working on my right away. Kelly did my gel manicure. She did an amazing job, and was very nice and very gentle too. This is definitely my new spot to come for manicures from now on. The pricing were very fair too. read more
