I've got graduation celebrations in the desert coming up this weekend and know I'll be going "open-toe" quite a bit, so figured I'd come in today (Memorial Day) to get my nails done. The place was dead (as I expected), but they were open and seated me right away for my gel mani and spa pedicure. First off their spa chairs are wonderful - comfortable and work great! The gentleman who did my nails (I didn't catch his name) and Ivy who did my toes and feet were very gentle and did a great job. Their foot/calf and arm/hand massages were excellent and very relaxing. My nails came out cute and they were economical with their time, while not feeling rushed. I always see this place when I stop into Patsy's next door for a drink and/or karaoke and/or trivia, but never thought to stop in. I don't get my nails done often, but will definitely go back to Studio Nails the next time I do! read more

Studio Nails - Love my nails! - Waxing Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Do not go here. They're rude and run late. Told me to come in at 1:30 and made me wait 10 mins. The lovely lady who did my service was amazing but they scheduled her poorly. They didn't ask me what service I even wanted. The paneer or manager grabbed my hand and inspected my nails asking where I got mine done and I told her. She told me to come here (first of all so invasive) and I was like why?? You didn't even exfoliate my legs or ask me anything and now I'm late to work even though I told them I HAD to be done by 2:15 and they insisted I come in. so unprofessional. read more

I love this salon and the sweet people who work here! I absolutely love coming to see Kelvin and June here. They do an amazing job, and they're fast (but not too fast). I never have a problem scheduling an appointment as they are flexible and always responsive. The nail color Kelvin introduced me to has become my favorite to the point where I never even look for another color anymore because I love it so much. My gel lasts about 3 weeks on my hands and 4-5 weeks on my feet. Also, if you ever have a broken nail I reach out to Kelvin and he helps me get it fixed immediately!!! They use the best gel that hardens to strengthen the nail and I constantly get compliments on my nails! Thank you SO much Kelvin and June!!! read more

Kelvin, Holly and their team were phenomenal today and took such amazing care of my parents who had never had a pedicure or a manicure in their life. I have been coming to see both Kelvin and Holly for years. I'm so excited of their new location and I would recommend them any time. Thank you again Kelvin and Holly for helping my parents with their first experience. Now they know why I come here and only here. read more

This is my local nail shop, I come here pretty frequently. They are located in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. I'm usually seen by Tim or Amy , they are both awesome as well as genuine and kind. They listen to what you want and truly take their time to make sure you get exactly what you asked for and never trying to up-sale you on extras. The shop itself is spacious and clean and they are usually playing some type of cooking or nature show on their big screen tv, which I love. Background music is always on point and makes for a chill relaxing visit. My nails always come out looking amazing and last a long time. Come check them out if you want beautiful nails!! read more

I wanted to try a new nail salon and was pleasantly surprised by Studio Nails. I needed a full set and pedicure, did not have an appointment, and they were very accommodating. Tim did my nails exactly how I asked and the employees were very kind. They also were very efficient and quick, plus my nails came out perfect. Was a pleasant experience, I will definitely be coming back! read more

This is the second time I have come here, and the first time was amazing, I came out feeling great and my nails looked beautiful and I got many compliments. I came back to remove my acrylics since they've grown out, and I came KNOWING that my natural nails grew long enough that if the acrylics were removed my nails would still look nice. Naturally, I came to professionally remove them so I don't damage my natural nails so you would assume they would remove them PROFESSIONALLY AND WITH CARE but no. Whoever it was that was removing my acrylics brought some more acrylis to SHOVE under mine and she ripped off my nails. If I wanted to rip off my nails with zero care I would have done it myself for free. She ended up ripping off all my length and when I asked her why my natural nails were being ripped off she said that my nails were already short which makes zero sense because lets say they were short before I put on acrylics (which they weren't but I'm trying to use her logic) they would have grown out anyways. I came out with ugly uneven nails and very disappointed. I will not be coming here for removals again the lack of care is just insane. read more

My mom and I called last minute on a Friday to see if they could take us in before closing and they were super friendly and said yes. Stephanie was the best she was very engaging and welcoming. She did an amazing job on the pattern and I left the salon a lot happier. I will definitely be coming back to hopefully get more exciting patterns! read more

Had to change my 3 stars to a 1 start today. When I finally saw the damage to my nails. She over filed so much on the sides. She should of used bigger tips it looks like. Then...a week and a half later my gel toes are coming off. Pretty sure they use horrible products, very disappointed I spent as much as I did. read more

Studio Nails - My nails - Waxing Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I went in today to remove my acrylics, manicure and a pedicure. I paid $35 for a luxury pedicure and $20 to remove acrylics and manicure. The pedicure advertised callous remover, sea salt scrub, paraffin and 10 minute massage. The lady set the timer for 8 minutes. Ok? She applied the callous remover then rinsed it. Never scrubbed it off. Other than that it was ok. My nails are what frustrates me. Some of the acrylic is still on. I walked in asking to have them soaked off and instead they peeled them off with an acrylic tip. My nails are so, extra thin and bleeding. Unevenly filed, dirt under nails and in between cuticles. I'll probably dispute the charge with my bank. read more

Great job on my pedicure!! Thorough, polite and prompt! Huge selection of gel color choices.

Great genuine people! Was able to see me last minute and had me out of the store within 40 minutes as requested!

I've been loyal to another salon for years. Then my girlfriend suggested I ask for Phil at Studio Nails. I've been here three times now and can't imagine going elsewhere. If you're looking for a true artist with manicures, gel, chrome, even the most intricate designs from Pinterest, then ask for Phil. You won't be disappointed. My latest design shown here. Yee! read more

FIRST OF ALL, I made my appointment and they took me in about 40 mins later. I came in wanting to get a periwinkle color, and I showed him the color and he still gave me the wrong shade. AND I asked for medium long nails and before he applied the acrylic, I pointed out that it was too short. He accused me of being wrong and insisted that this is the size I first asked for. I told him he was hurting me with the nail drill and I ended up with multiply cuts on ALL my fingers!!! I wasn't able to get his name since he hurried me up to get out of the shop. He was a short skinny guy, with brown hair and seemed around his mid 30s. read more

I just recently moved to the area and needed to find a new nail place. I have to say I'm absolutely impressed. Tiffanydid my pedicure and I got the callus package. She didn't have fast the job she took her time and really paid attention to her work. She scrubbed my feet well and I appreciated that because that other places I paid for callus remover and they did not scrub thoroughly. After she was done my pedicure looked absolutely beautiful. Mimi did my manicure gel nail which was amazing as well. I got a basic gel nail and they look beautiful and she was done. The staff there is very courteous I am 8 months pregnant when I walked in they offered me a mask, a fan, and water throughout my visit there. I will be going back read more

I moved into the area and tried this nail salon because it was across the street. Since I've moved away, I've continued and will continue to return. Their costumer service and quality has never failed. I would recommend making an appointment, but even walking in unannounced they make you feel like home welcoming you by name and offering beverages while waiting. Amy is the absolute best, but everyone is so skilled and friendly. They've won my business forever! read more

I highly recommend this amazing place. James did one outstanding job on my nails. I am in love with it. Great service. read more

I'm officially over this nail salon. I absolutely love the way Phil does my nails... but EVERY SINGLE TIME I've made an appointment he's been at least 30 minutes late. I've continued to return because I considered the wait worth it for the great nails I always left with and figured maybe he was just having an off or busy few days. But this is so frustrating!!! I don't make an appointment so I can sit and wait for you to show up!! It's literally happened the last 4 times I've been here. Unfortunately, after waiting another 30 minutes I am walking out and I will not be returning to this salon... you just lost a very loyal customer who recommended you to tons of people. Get it together Phil. read more

Studio Nails - Black and gold set by Phil - Waxing Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I have been going to this nail salon for quite some time now. Living in south Orange County, it's hard to find a nail salon that isn't overcharging for their services. The price point at studio nails is VERY reasonable and fair. I've gotten gel, dip, and acrylic manicures here. Tim is usually my go to for when I make appointments for manicures. He takes his time and really gets the job done very well. I had to make a late appointment yesterday due to my schedule, and they were able to squeeze me in. Tim worked on my nails even past closing time, but didn't even rush and still took his time to perfect my manicure! Thank you so much Studio Nails and Tim! You have a loyal customer here! :) read more

Studio Nails - Dip manicure with tips and design. - Waxing Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I went here for the first time and my nails look awful. They aren't even painted on the sides, the cuticles are still bad and you can still see my nail beds under the nail polish color, another coat would have been nice. I even had to ask her to remove the excess nail Polish from my pedicure that was all around the sides. The prices weren't bad, hence why I didn't go back and ask for a full refund. Here is a picture of my gel manicure in less than a week, I've never had this happen so fast. read more

Heard about this place from a few people I work with. Every time they got their nails done they always looked so good! I asked them who did them and they said phil. I called the other day to book an appointment with phil for a new set of acrylic nails. It's such a beautiful, well kept and super clean. I'm so happy I found this place!

Studio Nails - Thank you Phill for my amazing beautiful new nails!!! - Waxing Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Just left the salon! Phil did my fill with regular polish and Nu (spelling?) did my pedicure! My biggest thing with acrylic nails is the shape. And of all the nail salons I've been to (and I've been to quite a few to find my salon home) Phil definitely did the best shape! He cares a lot about his customers and wants them to leave happy. So he takes his time and makes sure you're pleased. He very kindly also offered me a beverage (water, hot green tea, Lipton iced tea, etc.). I showed him a picture I found on Pinterest and be replicated it, also suggesting I do the design on 2 of the nails instead of all of them like the photo (he said all of them might be too much). I've very very ticklish on my feet and I told Nu before she started my classic pedicure. She was gentle and didn't mock or judge me for twitching so much! I'm very pleased with the service I got. Phil messed up a little bit on my nails but the service overall made up for it. I'll be back for my fill in 3 weeks! read more

Phil Phil Phil.... He is amazing! I came to this place because I was referred by a friend. The owner Phil is so personable, he really remembers people, and does excellent nails. I came in here twice so far to get Gel nails and they have lasted me each time, about 3-4 weeks unchipped. That says a lot becuase I always wash my hands a lot, work on my house and still looks amazing. This is a new business and I encourage everyone to check them out. The place is very clean, open, no tacky decorations, and just nice employees. The ladies that do the pedicure sure know how to do a thorough job. But... their is a wait. On two occassions I waited for 2 hours total to get my gel nails and pedicure done. They need to hire more employees because 2 hours is way toooooo long to get my nails done. read more

I just got my nails done here last week and the staff is so sweet! They provide water and such a comfortable experience. Over the weekend, one of my gels came off so I came back to get it fixed and they redid all of my nails for free!! I tried to tip them for their time and they insisted I didn't. I really appreciate a business that can fix minor mistakes and be dependable! This is totally my new spot and I can't wait to tell all my friends to come! read more

Love this place!!! Phil kills it. They are all very friendly and the salon is always clean, and prices are fair. This is my new go to nail salon. Update - Just went back today.... For a basic manicure and pedicure, they charged $32.... I can list off 5 other places in our surrounding area where a basic mani pedi is $25. Rip off for a generic service. Unfortunately won't be coming back. read more
