    Gel manicure pealed off after only 2 hours
    Elizabeth G.

    Extremely disappointed with my gel manicure I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this nail shop was awful. I came in for a simple gel manicure, and within two hours of leaving, the polish started peeling off. The technician filed my nails unevenly, and the finish looked messy and rushed. When I mentioned during payment that my nails looked messy, he discounted $10 and ignored my comment. Then, when I called back within two hours to explain that the polish was already peeling and asked for a refund, the person I spoke with claimed the owner wasn't available. Later, after checking Yelp, I realized that I had actually been speaking to the owner, who lied to me rather than taking responsibility. This level of dishonesty and poor service is completely unacceptable. For the price I paid, I expected a professional, lasting manicure--not something that fell apart almost immediately. I won't be returning, and I strongly advise others to take their business elsewhere.

    My girl did great and took her time, but it went on too long. Her co-worker stepped in to finish with the clear coat, and that's where it went wrong. On the way home, I saw my left hand was dry, messy, and the nails looked chunky. Her co-worker ruined her work. Next time, double-check before leaving--or you'll end up like me with a chunky mess. :(

    This has been my go to nail salon for a year and half! I was a client of the previous owner and when she left I started to going to Calley and she is the bees knees! She's so sweet, attentive, and a perfectionist! She takes her time and you can tell she is very passionate about what she does! The vibe at the salon is very chic and relaxing! There are so many colors and services to choose from! & Everyone is very nice and I always feel comfortable while I'm there! I've also referred my friends over and they are very happy with their services! Give this place a try!

    I had the absolute best experience at Ruby Nails and Spa I have been at the nail shop and I moved to a new area but I decided to come back because the staffs are very nice and helpful! At the moment I walked in and I was greeted warmly by the staffs. The shop was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. I will try to come back even I live far away now.

    Walked in on a Wednesday & was seated instantly! Thank you so much Helen for the gel-x set. Super super cute and great service I would recommend this place to anyone!

    This is a clean cute nail salon. They do great with my pedicures and I recently got a full set. I am very picky and the design wasn't perfect but 8/10. My nail tech got the shape perfect and it was thin like I like it I would go back and maybe try something different but still like it and got a lot of compliments. I was a walk in and got seated right away. Just depends on the time you go I've been there where there was a lot of people and then I've been there where I'm the only one in the salon

    I've been coming here for a couple months now. The last time i came was Saturday July 12th. I asked for a fill on my full set. I only had one nail that had came off and needed to be fixed. I was at first the only client there and after about 30 minutes more people came. They only had 2 people working. Not sure if my girl felt rushed but pointer finger was the only nail she needed to glue on and she glued the nail on not straight at all! I was shocked when I saw. Very disappointed

    I came here a months ago and had a manicure by Angel and she was amazing. Came again after not getting my nails done in a while, and was very disappointed. I asked for a manicure since my cuticles were out of control, and this is what I got. My nails are all uneven, and cuticles are still bad. I was also disappointed in who I think is the owner. The woman who did my pedicure seemed to be new to the role, the owner walked by and looked at my feet then went over to her son to make a comment, and they both walked by looked, and laughed. I don't know what was said as I do not speak the language, but was quite embarrassed. I won't be returning, and really hope they read this so that they do better in the future.

    The service here is amazing! I found my new nail salon to go to. They opened not too long ago. Helen and Kim did my nails and were so sweet and attentive. Everyone was so kind. Place is clean and looks lovely. Definitely recommend! *Im Priscilla but have my yelp under the name Lucy * Thank you for opening here in Fullerton!!

    It's definitely very neat and clean-looking in here. I'm always a little frustrated when I make an appointment and I'm not serviced within an appropriate amount of time... what's the point of making an appointment if they're going to accept so many walk-ins or over book that I end up waiting 35 minutes just to be seated, and then 15-20 more minutes to get started? My mom, whom I also made an appointment for, waited over 35 minutes as well. The manicure itself was decent, but as you can see in the first photo was slightly bumpy with random thick globs on some fingers. It's not too noticeable from Birds Eye view but just shows a sloppy job, probably from rushing because again, they either overbooked or accepted too many walk-ins.

    I've been coming to Ruby Nails for a couple months now. I've always had such a wonderful experience coming in here the vibes in here are great, the place is clean & the staff is BEYOND GREAT. I'm so glad I found this place. Helen does a beautiful job doing my full set. Thank you Ruby Nails

    I got an acrylic full set with a pedicure. Kelly and Kim do such a great job every time. Kelly did an amazing fall set !

Crystal is very reliable, her services are excellent, and her prices are very reasonable. As others have said, Crystal normalizes the entire experience of waxing, which, let's face it, can feel pretty awkward. Crystal is a professional and makes every effort to reduce the pain, checking in throughout the process. With time, I've had body parts waxed that I was initially too embarrassed to admit needed waxing. For example, my nose. Haha! The best part is that I have definitely seen a reduction in hair regrowth, especially on my legs, because of waxing. Yay!!! Setting up appointments is easy and wait times are short.

    Update: The owner…read moredid sincerely apologize after I sent her a photo of my thumb infected with pus underneath. I would have loved a sincere apology from Ellen but at least the owner seemed apologetic for my horrific experience. I will not be returning because I am not risking getting my cuticles cut and infected a third time. I hope they will learn from this and be more careful in the sensitive parts of a client's nails. ------------ Unfortunately I did not want to write this review but after receiving such a nonchalant response from the owner and nail artist themselves, I feel like it is my responsibility to write an honest review about my experience here. I had such a wonderful experience getting my nails done in Korea so I wanted to look up a place that offered Korean style nails. I found purrple nails which was conveniently located near me with a staff filled of Korean artists. My first experience was with Soo and she did fine I guess. I like that she was detailed about her design but she did cut my cuticle once and was very rough with drilling. For those who don't know, drilling gets hot and the artist should know to lift it every few seconds to not burn the person's skin. Because I liked the design so much, I made a second appointment to give another artist a try. This second appointment was with Ellen. She was sooo rough when it came down to removing the polish and cleaning and cutting the cuticles. One of my cuticles started bleeding a lot and she just used the dust to stop the bleeding but did not apologize once. I let it go. But after getting home, I noticed my cuticles and fingers were so tender and red. I decided to let time heal but it's been a week and my right thumb is still swollen and tender. It's painful to touch. I told the owner and Ellen and after some back and forth, they finally did apologize. However it left kind of a sour taste in my mouth because it just seemed like they brushed it off thinking 10 percent off the next appointment would really make up for the pain I'm having in my finger. Not sure if I will come back. The owner asked me to try another artist but how do I prevent this from happening a third time?

    Horrible. Zero star…read more Made an appt and told them what I want done. My appt time was ~1.5 hours before they close. I was excited and drove 1/2 hour to try Korean nail salon. Prep for gel plus 1 extension took more than 2 hours then after the prep, they filed my nails down. They filed it so short and was unattentive that they filed off my skin and it started to bleed. It took longer than expected and I had to leave and was to return the next day. Thankfully I left because my filed down skin continued to bleed for an hour or more after. Gel and design took another ~2 hours. Total time almost 4 hours (+ 2 hours of driving time). Price was almost double other places I go to. Then less then 10 days after, the entire gel came off for one nail...next day, another...and next day a couple more. At least it came off neatly rather than chipped. At this point, I easily peeled off the rest. I messaged them and they offered to give me a free redo. Thank you but no thank you. I am not about to waste another 4+ hours and spend gas money all to risk getting an infection. Please hire properly trained and certified nail techs. Because other reviews have mentioned nail tech cutting down cuticles to the point of bleeding and nails chipping or coming off.

I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a Brazilian whether it's your first time or even if you're seasoned. She strategically uses a mix of soft and hard wax, and makes you feel like you're in good hands from the get. Talking to her felt like catching up with an old friend. Nena's Waxing is a little out of the way but I would gladly return for any of my waxing needs.
