I'm not quite sure why I decided to give this salon another chance after my first initial terrible visit. I was in a pinch to get my nails filled, however, I wish I would have just waited until my usual salon was available. Two nails chipped within a few days of my service. The polish job is terrible. The top coat isn't even covering some of the areas polished on my nail. What a waste of $30. I will never go back to this salon. read more

Absolutely terrible art. I had shown a picture to them that I wanted done and the lady said, "okay". My nails came out looking NOTHING like what I had shown them. I will NEVER come back and I really want my money back because I literally cried over how much I spent for THIS. So disappointed. read more

This place is not a nail salon. It's a butcher shop. Jennifer did a horrible job and if you ask her to fix it she gets upset and tries to get rid of you. I walked out with glue all over my fingers and under nails. Cut me at 4 places and even put crazy glue on the one that was bleeding. ( see pictures). read more

My nails look like play dough. I asked for an almond shape and I got some thick bulky acrylics. I don't recommend this place. They don't know how to shape nails properly. This is the second time I've came here and walked out unsatisfied. I'm extremely disappointed in this service. The girls expect a tip when they don't make the customers satisfied. I'm never coming here again. read more

This is 1.5 hrs after getting my nails done. They did this and other 3 nails literally 4 times. Scrubbing and LED over and again. Just to find out it was still not fixed. Just save yourself some money and time. Stay away from this place!! Extremely disappointed. read more

**visit forever nails on baker in Costa Mesa, best place ever, the lady's are wonderful. It's very busy so book an appointment if you can!** will never dare to try out a different nail salon again because of this experience. This is the Worst nail salon I've been to. I went in there with my sister to get our nails done for her graduation. I had read all the reviews and read that it was a very good place so we decided to check it out since we live down the street. First, as I'm looking for nail colors they start rushing me and my sister to pick one, their color selection was awful. As time goes by, I had asked for a stiletto shape medium size, I notice that all nails were shaped and sized differently and my thumb nail was EXTREMELY short. When I informed the lady she was rude about it and told me "no all nails are even, this is how you wanted it". As I repeatedly told her I was not happy with the shape she started getting louder saying "listen to me, this is how it is". Eventually I had 4 women surrounding me telling me they weren't going to take off the nails and how I should just keep them as is. Long story short they gave me a new lady who still refused to remove the acrylics but to cut and shape them to look natural, which were still hideous looking and my sisters nails were colored as if a kindergartner painted them(I spent $120). When I called to speak to the store owner he told me to come in and that they would fix it. I got the same lady who was assigned to fix my nails the first time, she was rude and kept hurting my fingers as she was working. They rushed me again and every time I pointed out a crooked finger she became more aggressive. I asked for gold nail polish and she gave me silver. Then the owner tried charging me but I refused to pay another dime. I ended up leaving with wonky nails. read more

I drove 50 miles up and 50 miles back so desperate to get a pedicure and new set of acrylic nails. I took a chance and was so impress soon as I arrive was greeted with a friendly welcome, they took my temperature and asked me to wash my hands with sanitizer they had as a stand. All the stations were set up outside under many tents and shade. Holly did my pedicure and was very friendly and did an excellent job. Jennifer did my new set and was very gentle with my hands as I'm very sensitive on my cuticles. She did my new set exactly as I asked. I didn't have to wait either, soon as I arrived was seated and my services started. read more

Ritz Nails is now one of my favorite nail places to wander to in Irvine. I came in one day in desperate need of pampering. One of my nails had been chipped the night before and I needed a manicure asap!! Since I was feeling extra bummed out, I decided to get a pedicure as well. I did not have a reservation, but I was immediately seated. Kelly worked on my nails, and Jody worked on my toes. They were both very polite and lovely. They spoke to me in English until I informed them that I was Vietnamese. The ladies here seem to all speak English pretty well. Since they were both so nice, I let them convince me to get the deluxe mani-pedi package ($50). This includes your basic mani-pedi with the additional scrub, paraffin wax, and 10 minute massage per service. I was especially pleased with the paraffin wax, since it was my first time ever receiving this service. My skin felt so nourished and smoothed after the service. Not only that, I feel like these ladies both gave me an amazing massage. It was firm, not just lotion-rubbing. And I felt like they may have given me an extra minute or two!! My fingers and toes were in heaven!! Also, they have a really good line of nail polishes. I have been showering, swimming, doing dishes and everything else routine... but my nails have not scratched, chipped or peels. YAY :D I will definitely come back and I will make an effort to make my appointment with Kelly and Jody. read more

Megan is the best!!!! I am new to California and when I came here they treated me like family. read more

Just walked out of here before I even got a damn manicure. The guy at the front didn't acknowledge me what so ever. While I walked in first and another lady behind me came in afterward and he started making convo and asking what she wanted when I'm over here first like hello?? I understand if you have regulars but like seriously treat all your customers with respect . This was my go to spot usually every couple of months or so but fuck it. That guy pissed me off because when he was done talking to the lady he was like how can I help you. And I told him I wanted a mani and pedi and he just grabs the basket of colors and throws the basket onto the counter and asks me what color I want. Like where is my friendly hello? Because the lady behind me looks more rich than I do you think I won't tip good or what? read more

MY BFF brought me here today for mani/pedis. I liked Ritz a lot, and I would definitely consider coming back again, even though it is nowhere near my house. The place was nice and clean and bright. The massage chairs were comfortable and not a total pain in the ass to get into/out of. The chairs also had cup holders, which was nice because I had a coffee with me. The ladies that worked on my nails didn't talk to me too much, which I like. They did ask how I was, asked if my friend was my sister, and the girl doing my mani complemented my ring...but beyond that, they just left me alone. Awesome. They didn't pressure me to get all sorts of crap done, which was also great. I know they have to offer me things, and they did. But it was in one run down, "Do you want callus remover, paraffin wax or extra massage?" No, thank you. They both did a good job on my nails, and the prices were average. The only thing I didn't like, was I felt like they didn't have a huge color selection. read more

Genuinely my favorite place to get my nails done. All the women take so much care and consideration when working. They have conversations and relate to each client. A lot of them even remember you when you come back and catch up with you. I got one of my most difficult sets last summer which was cow print and they did an AMAZING job! I can't wait to go back!! read more

Ritz Nails - Cow print nails by Ritz Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I came here today because I wanted my nails done for new years. Dana which was mail lady was extremely passive aggressive and made me uncomfortable to the point where I wanted to leave without my nails even being painted. I asked her for a specific design and she said that it was a bit basic and she could do a design that was prettier. I said okay and she proceeded to do my nails. The base color I picked looked different from the nail example, and I think it was because she did 3 coats which made it look pinker. She did the design and as she was close to done doing the design I told her I didn't really like them. I felt extremely bad telling her but I am paying for the service. I immediately regretted saying anything because she then rolled her eyes and rudely grabbed my hand. She started to file off the color and was grabbing my fingers so hard that her fingers were getting red and she cracked one of my fingers. She then said something to her coworker which turned to look at me so I get even more uncomfortable. I told her it's okay you can leave them like that without color. To which she responded "we aren't talking about you, we are talking about the glitter". That made me even more uncomfortable because I never mentioned or said anything about her talking about me. She ended up doing the design but was loudly sighing and nodding her head. Once she was done she rudely told me to go wash my hands, which I didn't because I just wanted to get out of there. It was just a bad experience. I felt extremely uncomfortable and felt that I should've just paid for the first design she did and left. Would've saved myself the passive aggressiveness and discomfort. read more

I been going here many years they now moved outside to continue service and it's such a great thing. I appreciated how hard the ladies work to serve so many people even in the heat. They use masks and social distancing. read more

I am very disappointed with my manicure. My nail artist was super sweet and she missed her lunch to do my manicure but I wish she didn't bc I'm not happy with them at all. I cleaned my own cuticles as soon as I got home and removed the nail polish a few days ago. I only had it on for about 4 days bc I felt terrible removing it. There was leftover gel, polish around my nails, lint on my nails, cuticles hanging off etc. We should get what we pay for. It should be nothing short of 5 stars. The only reason I'm leaving 3 stars is bc my facial and massage were amazing. My pedi was ok. I hated bringing it up to the concierge bc my husband wanted to treat me for Mother's Day. So sweet of him. It was worse when the concierge said he couldn't do anything other than remove the tip and see if she'll touch it up bc his manager wasn't there. When he called to see if she could touch it up I believe she said no at which Pt he offered an additional 10% but I thought he couldn't do anything other than remove the tip. Sketch if you ask me. I hate not tipping. I'd prefer tipping & not paying almost full rate for less than a half done job. Also especially due to covid the pool area should be kept nice and clean at all times. Replace upholstery on some lounge chairs as well or just remove them. Not a good look. read more

Ritz Nails - Mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

All of the nail salons I've been to are only open until 7PM, but Ritz Nails is open until 7:30PM. You'd be surprised at how much of a difference 30 minutes makes. Most of the times I've gone, they've stayed open past 7:30. You'll see stragglers coming in 5-10 minutes until 7:30 and they happily welcome them. This nail salon is real real nice. There are about 15 luxurious lazyboy-looking leather chairs for pedicures and 4 tables for manicures. They have two giant plasmas in the back where most of the chairs are facing. This place is SO clean, it's like walking into a dentist's office. My nail technician is Hannah. She doesn't talk much, but you can tell she is a really sweet lady just from looking at her face. Although I can hardly understand her, we try to converse as much as we can. She never gives me crap when I ask to cut my nails super short. Some ladies can get real tough, but she's always been real gentle. They're all pretty efficient, I can see how they want to make sure everyone is tended to in a timely manner. They accept plastic, surprisingly even Amex. I'd recommend bringing cash for tip. Ritz Nails is located in the back of The District, across from Target and next to Office Depot. Avoid the traffic and enter from the back entrance. read more

Ridiculously overpriced. I paid $50 + tip for a horrible pedicure that wasn't even worth it. I had to go to my regular lady to fix my toes because I was so unhappy with my pedicure. VERY SLOPPY AND NO ATTENTION TO DETAIL I will never come back here! read more

I have been to many nail salons and Ritz Nails is by far the best. There is one particular Nail Technician that stands out from the rest, Dana. She is not only the prettiest girl there but she is the most talented. She does not rush through the process but rather she takes the time necessary to ensure near perfection. If you have a picture of a design you like, Dana is the artist who can recreate it. I had recently moved up to LA but I still make the time to drive down to OC to have Dana do my nails. I call ahead of time to make sure she is available as there is no one else there that is more detailed. She takes the time to take courses to learn what's new in the nail world. Be sure to check this place out and call ahead to schedule your appointment with Dana! read more

How did this joint get 3.5 stars?! The service is horrible. They are super unorganized. They used TOILET paper as toe separators. Toilet paper. I'm at a loss for words... read more

I understand that there are limited places to get your nails due to what's going on, I get that. I also understand that doing people's nails outside is harder, I get that. What I don't get is why we as clients are paying more for less, and why owners don't appreciate there staff more. I made my appointment a couple days beforehand and noticed when I made it, they didn't get my phone number, just my name and the time of my appointment. I casually thought they must have gotten my info from there caller ID and left it at that. I arrived on time, and hold had to wait one or two minutes before sitting down. They had everyone spaced apart and wearing masks. I got a dip manicure and regular gel pedicure and was happy with my pedicure but not my manicure. I noticed the tech that did my nails didn't cut my cuticles, she did them with the drill, not really even getting them done. When did they stop using the actual cuticle cutter? Maybe this was to save time, but when I'm paying this much for dip nails (there prices have gone up), I expect my cuticles to be cut, the right way. The second thing was the color of my nails, the color I picked out was really light pink, my nails came out more like pink starbursts, I asked the tech, if it was the same color I picked, and she said yes, but that the sun made the display colors nails, (the ones you look at to pick your color) had faded because they were in the sun...Anyways, I wasn't happy with the color. That being said I noticed there were other people complaining while I was there as well, apparently nobody wanted to take the time to do the design they wanted, and there was an issue with how much someone else's pedicure was... The last issue is the processing of tipping...I understand a lot of people use credit cards, but apparently the owners make the techs pay a fee to get their tip from the transaction, like they can't eat the charge and let the techs get their tip without them hold how ever much percent they do...I pay cash, it's easier, and that way the tech gets her tip right away... read more

Just love this place. I always get top notch service. My nails are perf. It's in the District so u can get a lot of errands done. Been coming here for almost 2 years The salon is clean and staff is friendly. They offer other services such as facials. I tried it and Dana did a great job. It's nice to get more services done in the same place read more

Ritz Nails - Gel manicure with the new Pantone color for 2015. Marsala. Great job !!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I really wanted to like this nail spa since they are close to my work but the last two times I went there my SNS polish chipped multiple times in a week! I'm not hard on my nails since I have an office job so I'm not sure what the issue is. I have never had regular gel polish do this and the first time I tried SNS, the mani lasted for an entire month! That being said they have always fixed my nails but I shouldn't have to go back for repairs multiple times in a week and a half! They should apply the powder correctly the first time! Time to find a new place. read more

Ritz Nails - Less than a week! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I've been going to this place for years now on and off because it is next to where I live. I went there late, and I think it's the best time to go because they just want to finish working hence they won't pressure you to upgrade your mani or pedi. They usually always pressure you and they are annoying as hell because hey don't give up. But this time they didn't insist they just offered once, and I said no not today, and they were okay with it. I don't remember the name of the girls who did my mani/pedi, but they were good. Then again I didn't do anything crazy, I just did regular laquer and simple mani/pedi. Overall I was satisfied this time around because they weren't annoying about getting the more expansive treatment or getting gel done. They just did their job, mostly in silent, which was okay for me cause I was feeling really sick that day. read more

Ritz Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I like the way they have it outside for social distancing but I got a package deal for 55 dollars for a manicure and pedicure so why did I walk our spending 98 dollars? They said it's 15 dollars EACH for gel on toes and nails that's another 30 dollars just for the color gel. Then they charge 2 dollar service fee for Covid for each service which they don't even tell you till you pay. Yeah they are ripping people off just to make extra money cause of them being closed for Covid. No thanks read more

I had an appointment but still waited 30 minutes. Pedicure was rushed and the end result wasn't great. I also didn't like that they pressure everyone into paying with Venmo. Won't be returning. read more

I have been coming to Ritz nails for the last 4 years and keep coming back for a reason. Every pedicure I've gotten has been amazing. If you need a fill- go to Jody, they will be perfect every time. Dianne for an amazing pedicure (but also everyone is!) and Kathy for anything Gel x! Everyone is so nice and I always leave very happy with my mani or pedi. I love that they do the pedicure and manicure at same time as well. They just moved to a brand new location across the street in the district - check google for updated address - phone number is still the same - but it's beautiful! It's in a very big space and so clean, it's very relaxing to sit there and get your nails done. The new location even has a private room for bigger groups / bachelorette/ birthdays. They also have really great color options for gel - DND, OPI +more!! Everyone there also recommends great colors and I trust them to pick out my colors for me if I tell them what I'm wanting. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new nail spot! read more

- extremely kind and friendly service - there was a lot of miscommunication due to the fact that the appointment i had established was with the person i'd spoken to over the phone, not the person who had checked me in. the person who had checked me in didn't first catch what i'd asked for and had to have my nail tech changed three times. if this hadn't occurred, i'm sure i would've been finished with my service sooner than 2.5 hours. - the quality of work is incredible for the price - prices are much cheaper than nearby salons - the store and environment itself is already a luxury. it's a very lovely salon. read more

Ritz Nails - acrylic gel french tips -- $42 for a brand new set using gel + $10 for french tip design - Nail Salons Near Me - Tustin, California

I called around 630 to see if I could get my nails done and they said yes. (They close at 7) so I was elated that they took me in. I was paired with Jennifer and I absolutely loved her work and the time she took to perfect my nails. She is very detailed oriented and made sure all my nails were perfect and thin just how I like them. I'm definitely coming back to see her for future nail appointments. THANK YOU RITZ NAILS AND THANK YOU JENNY. read more

I went for my first time a few weeks ago. This was honestly the best pedicure I've ever had. I upgraded it which included callas removal, exfoliation, a 10 minute massage and some sort of oil application. I was beyond relaxed and was extremely impressed with the service. Will definitely be coming here from now on for my pedicures! And side note, the salon is so clean. It's so refreshing to be at a nail salon where you actually feel comfortable enough to sit in the chairs and use the pillows. read more

By far one of the worst experiences I've had at a nail salon!! I knew I was in for a treat when I had to travel 45 minutes for the nearest outdoor salon but wow I never expected such horrible treatment. Then to top it off, my gel manicure/pedicure set is embarrassingly bad. I'd go on, but I'll let the pictures speak for me. Do not patronize this business!! You'd be better off using stick on nails than pay $70 for subpar work. read more

Terrible! I went in for a pedicure and eyebrow wax. I asked for the basic pedicure and apparently that is their "deluxe pedicure," which left my feet feeling the same as when I walked in! The polish is a joke, you can see the edges of the 2nd coat and the tech cut the side of one toe and it actually hurts now when I touch the side of that impacted toe. As for the eyebrow wax, she nicked me in FOUR different places under the same eyebrow!! She was going so fast with the tweezers that she took skin. On top of that, the front desk manager walks around checking how fast these woman are working instead of worrying about the quality of service they are providing. I should have gone to my usual salon, but I wanted to try a salon that was close to home and it was NOT worth it. A complete waste of time and money if you have high standards for your nails. Such a disappointing and frustrating experience. read more
