Kevin did my nails & i am obsessed. Thank youuu kevin . Always feel welcomed when i walk in. They are all so sweet.

Been coming to Special Nail for a while and I always love how KEVIN does my acrylics. Just showed him a photo of what I wanted and he slayed!

100/10 recommend! This has been my favorite place in Santa Ana. Kevin always knows exactly what to do and does an excellent job. Helen is your girl for a thorough pedicure!

Ahhh these nails are so cute I'm obsessed and he did such a great job !!!he was very focused and I love it and he's not like others he'll start convos it's very interesting! He did such a great job

TERRIBLE SERVICE Do not go unless you want your skin to be glued to the acrylics, want the bacteria from the person before you, or want to stared at my Kevin. I went with Kevin to get my acrylics and he wouldn't stop staring at me and telling me I had a pretty face in such a creepy manner. When he started on my nails I noticed he didn't switch out his gloves -- his gloves were dirty with holes in them!!. Kevin didn't clean my nails and left cuticles as is. He proceeded to glue on acrylics that didn't fit my nail bed. I told him the acrylics he chose didnt and he decided to put even more glue and let the glue bleed over to my skin!! So, at that point not only did I acrylic nails bigger than my actual nail bed but he was GLUEING my skin to the acrylic!!! He noticed the glue had dried so he acted like he "filed" the sides. Little after, i see he is lifting the nails. I thought he was going to fix them or start over but NO.. he took part of the acrylic off and told me he had an appointment lined up and turned off his desk lamp... there was no one at salon. The salon was DEAD, they were about to close. I sat there confused with glue on every finger and part of the acrylic on my nails bc he didn't properly remove them. What the actual fuck. I now have to go to a different place to detach my skin from the acrylic nail he left. I tried to take some of it off but I still was left with acrylic glued on. Please save yourself your time and money and go somewhere else. This place is very unprofessional, dirty, and creepy.

NEVER EVER AGAIN! I went here because they had a sign outside saying it was $14 for a full set so I very confident sat down and did my nails did not ask for anything special other than gel color I did not ask for any special shape .. The man did a great job however when it was time to pay they said it was $37 when I asked what about the special? Kevin mentioned that it is $14 for the full set plus $17 for gel +6 dollars for the length of my nails!! Incredible! I understand that a lot of small businesses are suffering the causes of this pandemic but so are normal hard-working people like me and others who just wanted to treat themselves and end up paying more than what they are supposed to. Shame on them!

Kevin did an amazing job on my Halloween nails! I highly recommend him, he is definitely the best in town and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hands! ask for KEVIN

Nails done by : TAMMY she is amazing at what she does! My nails came out exactly like i wanted them to thanks to her! I always like getting glitter manis and pedis and she suggested putting a light color on the bottom and then the glitter on the top, which made it look AMAZING! TY SO MUCH TAMMY! ‍ not to mention pricing is amazing and affordable and the nails last pretty long! i also suggest if you want Tammy call ahead of time to book her!!! She also does waxing! ( ill see you soon for my eyebrows!)

I have been coming here for a while. Pedicures are great! Their price is $15 for regular & $20 with callus remover. The salon has a variety of matching gel & regular nail colors. I hate gel on my toes so it is very convenient for me. Best days to go is weekday, weekends always have a wait unless you make an appointment. Mixed emotions about this place...I went back to fix my chipped/cracked nails (within a week)long story short, lady who did my nails refused & raised her voice at me calling me a lier stating she never did my nails..ect. The manager ended up fixing my nails yet it was very upsetting bc I WAS a frequent customer.. I no longer come here.

I've been coming to this nail salon for about 15 + years and it never disappoints. I have tried other places but I just keep coming back because I'm constantly getting compliments on my nails. Therefore, I highly recommend it. My nails were done by Kevin he does an amazing job. Just make sure you make an appointment with him because he is very busy. For my pedicure all the ladies are good but if I have to choose I always go with Tammi.

I've been coming to this nail salon for years as it is down the street from my home. Recently I found out that the owner Julie sold the place and my nail tech Kevin is no longer here. I am so sad, Kevin was the best at doing acrylic nails and his wife Helen gave the best pedicures. Now I'm forced to look for a new place and new nail tech. I tried to get a pedicure from another lady, but I did not like the job she did. She didn't cut the cuticle, she didn't clean under my toenail, didn't cut the ingrown or trim the sides and didn't scrub or massage my feet So disappointed. read more

Please save your money! The manager is so rude, and doesn't know good customer service. I went in on Saturday for full set. I got home and the gel started coming off, so I called they told me to either go back right now or wait till Wednesday. I said, no I have a wedding in 2 hours. I want to go in tomorrow. The manager wanted me to wait till Wednesday because Sunday was too busy. I walked in early on Sunday. The ladies who were there looked at my nails, and they agreed with me on how bad my nails looked. So they asked me to wait for the manager. The manager walks in and looks at me, but proceeds to ignore me. He takes another customer who was waiting. The lady who was helping me tells him to look at my nails, and they're arguing in their language so I don't really know what they are saying. He still doesn't acknowledge me, so finally after 5 minutes he comes and looks at my nails. He says, I said to wait till Wednesday. I wasn't going to wait till Wednesday just because Sunday is "too busy". This is why I woke up early to be one of the first customers of the day. He didn't end up doing my nails, and the kind lady who was helping me out from the start ended up doing my nails. I am never going back here again this wasn't my first bad experience with them. read more

The rating is based on the false advertising they have in the front of the salon. I went with my husband and mother in law. It says acrillic 15, pedicure 12. So we went in hoping to get good prices. They charge $5 extra if you want medium to long nails. Medium being the tip of the finger. The nails have little bumps on them that you can clearly see with the reflection. Men get charged $15. And despite that they still didn't want to cut his cuticle. They were rude a few times and it seems like they only want to get on to the next customer. $30 for ombre acrylic. read more

Came in at 05:15pm with my sister and niece, we had an appointment at 05:30pm. My niece and I were able to have our nails done but my sister was skipped twice!!! Not to mention the lady that is doing my niece's nails took almost 2hrs to do when it should have 45-50mins. In all honesty, you have a better chance getting your nails done somewhere else were they honor the appointment time and not skip you over. This was the most ridiculous thing ever!! My sister didn't not travel from MN to be skipped over. Horrible customer service the manager has favouritism with his clients so if you're planning on coming in don't! I highly recommend Kathy's Nails!! Excellent customer service and better nails for your buck! read more

He seemed like he was rushing and only did one coat of the white polish..I asked if the spots were going to stay there and he was MAD and started drilling over the gel... The pics I posted is the end result of him still drilling on my nails.. I asked Kevin if he could help and he didn't care he stated he couldn't do anything since I had hot pink polish from before..

UNEVEN NAILS. WORST nail salon I've been too. I decided to go to this one because it was close to the gym I workout in & it was a MAJOR disappointment. When I walked in I noticed that they do not use bags for the pedicures and it seemed very unsanitary. There was a guy doing my nails and he was very rough even after I told him if he can file softer. I asked for a coffin shape and he gave me these ! HORRIBLE never coming here again ! Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Sweet, attentive, gentle with your set & encourages a positive environment when talking to guests and coworkers. My set this time was simple but I appreciate the time she spent and how attentive she was to every time she used the drill or the nail file. I have recommended this place to my friends and am so happy that I can recommend more than 1 nail tech as well.

Cleanliness is top tier here! Thank you Tammy for being such an awesome nail tech, you are always so sweet, kind, and helpful when you do my nails. You are my favorite! Pros: - Lots of parking - Can make an appointment online via their website - One of the cheapest options in the area - Will assign you two nail techs at a time so Mani and Pedi will be finished around the same time and they are FAST! - They do regular, gel, hard gel, gel x, and acrylic - Really good at cuticle work for pedicure - All tools are one use, and you see them use disaposible tools with you and throw them away right after so there is no need to worry about infections etc - Will replace your nail for free for up to 10 days after your appointment Cons: - They don't normally take walk ins - If paying by card there is an upcharge (they prefer you to pay via zelle) - Not the best at complex designs - Not a lot of options for sparkly colors, same with add ons like charm or sculpted 3d add ons - They push upcharges like adding on massage, scrubs, etc - Massage is mostly just them rubbing the scrub and lotion on you

I've had regular manicures, gel manicures, builder gel for the first time, and pedicures here -- and each experience has been great. Amy, who is usually at the front, is so kind and welcoming. She always makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. She is also spectacular with nails if you're able to get an appointment with her, but honestly everyone there is talented, attentive, and does a great job. My favorite thing about Zara Nail Lounge is how well they take care of your natural nails. At other salons, I've had experiences where they rush through the removal process, leaving my nails brittle and weak. Here, they truly take their time removing your current nails and make sure they prioritize the health of your nail bed, which I really appreciate. You can tell they care about doing things the right way, not just getting you in and out quickly. The salon itself is clean, relaxing, and welcoming. They have a great selection of colors and always help me choose when I'm undecided. My nails always come out looking neat, polished, and exactly how I want them. I also love that the results last, and I leave feeling like I got quality service every time. Their pricing is pretty decent too, especially for the level of care and attention they provide. Overall, Zara Nail Lounge has become my go-to nail salon, and I always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Yen is my go-to nail tech and she's amazing and always gets my nails done within 30 minutes. I've never had any issues with her work. I've paid over $120 at other salons for Gel-X with designs, but here I usually spend around $50-$60. I switch it up depending on my mood: tip and dip, Gel-X with designs, cat eye, or gel and the pricing is always fair for the quality. Definitely try to go on a weekday during their happy hour specials for even better deals! Also, don't skip the pedicure especially the deluxe pedicure. It's such a nice treat. You get a 10-minute leg massage, hot wax treatment on your feet, and everything is cleaned off with a hot towel. Super relaxing and worth it. Great service, great prices, and consistent quality.

They've recently done a lot of renovations so the interior is quite spacious with plenty of chairs. The staff here is all so friendly, and they seated me super quickly (I called ahead and they had me seated within 5 minutes of arrival). Nancy did my pedicure today and she was excellent. She took her time with the entire pedicure, and gave an amazing massage too. I got the Gold Pedicure and thought it was great value for the price. This is definitely going to be a go-to spot for me moving forward, and I highly recommend checking it out for a pedicure.

She does a great job and takes her time to get your nails right. Plus the prices are awesome too! For a refill and gel, I paid $23. Can't beat that! And no wait time on Monday's. - Karina read more
