This place is always welcoming and will find a spot for you, even if no reservation. That said, the last time I went, I received my pedicure by an elderly woman I had not seen before. She cut my nails down to literally "nubs" (and I have short toes already!). She also has me there for one hour. I kid you not. Not going back. read more

Leaving a review for Trang. She does the BEST job out of anyone I have seen in any nail salon in San Clemente. She is the only person I will see to get my nails done. I love the way my nails look after she does my dip!!! Can't recommend her enough. If you ever book an appointment to get dip, ask for Trang!!! read more

Well, I found my new favorite nail place in San Clemente! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. As you all know, that's not always the case. This place definitely has good vibes! I was leaving for a 10 day trip so I decided to get gel nails because I didn't want them to chip while I was out and about. I'm normally a classic nail polish gal (which is what I got on my toes). I think I paid $70 for a mani (with gel) and pedi which is definitively a reasonable price around here. First, I loveddd my manicure. They cleaned my cuticles SO WELL. My nails were hella short and they looked great when I was leaving. I also messed up my toe polish when I left. I came back the next day and they touched it up for free. Now, what bring me to yelp for a review. It's been over 21 days since I got my gel mani. Girls......it's still on! Basically here to posted the immediate results pic and the after 3+ weeks photo. I'm going back on Friday to get this gel off. It won't chip. read more

So painful! These are my feet immediately after leaving. Not only does the polish look bad, but I am in pain from the pedicurist attacking my feet with her tools. I flinched in pain so many times and told her it hurt, but she continued to nip at them anyways. It literally looks like I have blisters forming. I honestly cant believe i even paid and still left a tip as i was heading out. Please do something to make this right read more

Loved this place! I was visiting for the weekend and loved the staff! I got a pedicure and a dip for my nails (they also removed my acrylics). The most basic pedicure was $30 and the removal of my acrylics + the dip was $48! (There was a small $0.50 Visa charge). It was sweet to see some regulars there who the staff knew by name and even hugged when they left. I have not seen that before at a nail place and it really impressed me. They also give you a stamp card which I always love when nail places do things like that. Thanks for doing a great job! I randomly found this place, but would highly recommend them! read more

They do not respect appointments here at all. My mom and I wanted a day out together before my mom has to go to work. We wanted mani pedis together. After I showed one of the workers what I wanted for a manicure. The way they reacted really concerned me since I wanted an ombré. So I settled for a pedicure. Anyways we were early for our 10:30 appointment and our manicurist was not ready for us at all. She kept saying she will be right with us every 5 minutes. My mom was getting concerned because she was on a tight schedule for work. Anyways we both got up and left because she said she will be "right with us" again. read more

I was in San Clemente for a wedding. I found this little spot around the corner from Casablanca Inn. It was so lovely!! The staff was super friendly! It was evident the other customers were regulars and talked to them like friends :) They also gave arm & leg massage in conjunction with mani/pedi (honestly never had an arm massage at a nail salon before!) I only gave 4/5 stars since I waited 30minutes after arrival to get started, even with an appointment. They still finished quickly without taking any corners !

Vivian did a wonderful job on my toes, they're shaped beautifully, and the scrub and mask were divine. Jane did a stellar job on my nails, checking that I liked the shape, length, and color. She even added and extra coat after she had smoothed them out because the color had lightened quite a bit. They even do a frequent flyer stamp card!

I used to go to this salon regularly, and really enjoyed it. Then, they started to shave my nails down so thin -- they were paper thin, even after I expressed concern. I had to stop going because they wouldn't listen when I asked them to not shave down my nail. I went back in recently, and asked if they had space for a walk in. Initially, they said they weren't sure (even though there were 4 tech's available), and I said no problem, and was okay with leaving. I got all the way out to my car, was inside and they came out to say, they could actually help me now. So, I went back in, and after they sat me in a chair, they told me the appointment at that time had arrived and could no longer help me, and asked me to leave. I'm so bummed to have had such a negative experience. I won't be returning. read more

Not from the SC area but tried this place as I was driving through. I saw the reviews and figured it would be a safe bet. I get a gel manicure every 3 weeks. Recently my nails have been breaking a little more easily than usual. I let the nail tech know I wanted them to take it easy with the filing because my nails were weak. She suggested I try dip because it's stronger than gel, IT DOESN'TCHIP, and it LOOKS/ FEELS NATURAL. I've never had a dip manicure but I'm pretty sure it doesn't take an hour and 40 min. I was there forever only for a manicure! But I tried to stay positive because I didn't know if this was the case always, especially since this manicure is supposed to stay on longer and not chip. I knew there was a problem after she filed and dipped one of my fingers 5 times. FIVE, not an exaggeration. Then she filled all of mine nails again, after she had already done so twice and dipped them again, after she had already done twice before. At this point, my nail beds look puffy and there is a mountain of dip on my fingers. I paid and I left saying close to nothing. They looked ok and I could live with it for a couple weeks. Then, the next day, my thumbnail started chipping. All that work for absolutely nothing. I would not recommend this dip services here. I can't speak to the other services but don't do dip here. read more

Hard review to write. I've been coming here for years and have always had good experience. The ladies are lovely and I truly like them. However, this is now the 4th visit in a row where the quality is so low, I need to find a new salon. I just left with another bad manicure. Last trip I had to come back and have them fix the paint, before that they painted them so badly they looked grown out right away and chipped four days later. The last experience. Had an appointment at 11:30, sat there in a chair for 20 Minutes waiting. They started my "manicure" They didn't soak my hands or cuticles in water. They barely "manicured" my nails. They yanked the dead skin off, left half the cuticles on and it's all uneven. It's bad. I'm on day two and it looks like I need another manicure. The polish is what sealed it for me. This is the 4th visit in a row I walk out after paying $70 for a gel manicure and pedicure plus $15 or $20 tips - and it looks like my manicure is two weeks old. They do not paint your nails to the cuticle line. This freshly done manicure looks weeks grown out. I asked the tech THREE times to paint it all the way to the cuticle. THREE TIMES. And this is what she gave me. It's a waste of money. It's a waste of time. She knew I was unhappy and had done a bad job. But didn't offer to fix it, or refund me, or anything. Just gave me another really bad manicure and let me go. It was a really sad experience after being a long time 7 year customer. So if you're looking for a salon that's going to focus on a quality experience and nails, and customer satisfaction, I would keep looking. If you're ok with spending 2 hours and $80+ dollars every week just to have nails look a few weeks old, this is your place. read more

I have only been to the salon a few times since I live out of state, however whenever I am in the area this is the place to go. From the cleanliness to the friendliness salon I have ever had the pleasure to be in. Their massage chairs alone are something to go again and again for!! Ann and the ladies are very sweet and kind ~ feels like I've come home for a visit each time. They deserve all of the five stars I am seeing on Yelp ~ you guys rock!! read more

I am going to a wedding in San Clemente on Saturday 9th November 2024. On that morning II would like to book for 2 people. One for a manicure and polish, the other for false nails. Do you have an e-mail address because I don not live in America so don't wish to hone. Many thanks I had to add a star rating in order to send this but it is difficult because I haven't been yet. I am sure you are good. read more

I had a delightful pedicure experience at Sunset Glow Nail Spa with Anne. The atmosphere was relaxing and calming, perfect for unwinding. Anne was meticulous, ensuring every step was done with care. A big thank you to the team for such an amazing experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-tier pedicure! read more

Whether I give her a specific idea or simply trust her creativity, she always produces beautiful, flawless results. She is meticulous, precise, and never rushes, which shows in the perfection of her work. Tina provides an equally impressive pedicure experience. She is thorough, attentive, and delivers one of the best foot and leg massages I've ever had. Her care and attention to detail make the entire service feel relaxing, luxurious, and restorative. Overall, Beauty Nails & Spa stands out for its consistency, professionalism, and genuine pride in service. Sarah and Tina both go above and beyond every time, and I always leave feeling pampered, relaxed, and completely satisfied with the results.

Thankfully, she was switched with another woman, who was very sweet and good at it. I believe the first woman thought she could get away with no effort because my sister is very young. Overall the vibe was very chill, the women were very sweet, the prices were good, and I would love to explore their other menu options! Would come again!

Stacey is an incredible manicurist. I initially found her through the CND website as I had been…read moregetting my nails done elsewhere but the builder gel/structured gel my former nail tech used didn't jive with my nails and I was constantly getting lift. I do better with a thinner gel like Shellac which I've always had positive outcomes with since first using it almost 15 years ago - if it ain't broke don't fix it! I'm also very particular with the gel removal process in order to maintain the integrity of my nails and Stacey does NOT e-file my polish off but wraps my nail with a cotton ball soaked in acetone to break the seal and then gently scrapes it off with an orange wood stick - zero nail damage! This is the only way that works for me. She guarantees no chipping for 14 days and while I could even go longer in between manicures since her work is solid, I don't like the grow out process so I stick to every two weeks. Also, her manicures are waterless which is my preference and she is not overly aggressive with the cuticles which is hard to find. So many times nail techs are cutting away the proximal nail fold/live skin rather than just taking off the dead skin. Long story short, go to Stacey!

Perfectly pathetic. Sorry to say, unprofessional management and employees…read more Katie Hatch, the hairdresser, does not answer the phone nor replies to requests for appointment. The manager said you need to leave multiple messages with a very "detailed" explanation of who you are because she might not know if you are a stocker! As if she is running a brothel. What a joke for a rundown place. No wonder they have few to no clientele. Makes you question if some illicit activity going on to pay the rent.

All the white lines were uneven, shaky, and didn't extend to the sides. The hard gel was thick, bumpy, and even had bubbles.

However, atmosphere is nice and people are friendly.

No hustle and bustle, rushing in and out, crazy managers yelling at employees.. no guilt about if I am paying for a service that the employee is fairly compensated for. No awful acrylic smell!! I love this shop. It has taken me a year and 4 months to write a review because I knew her space was limited and I did not want to share my coveted spot on her schedule. Well I have had just way too many requests from passerby's, clients, and friends to keep her a secret anymore. Debbie is a true Pink Diamond. A rare soul who meticulously maintains your nails and inner peace just being in her presence. This is not a typical dirty shop with dozens of chairs and a waiting line of impatient people trying to get a $12 manicure. This is a San Clemente premier nail salon by appointment only for any who value high standards, quality workmanship, and a true relaxing experience for natural nails. You can be silent. You can chat. You are worth it! You will always leave relaxed and refreshed. I love my hour or so shellac mani's. That time with no whining kids or grumpy hubby. The laundry can wait. I seriously love that i don't feel like cattle. The pedi's last forever and for the first time ever my nails are healthy and growing! I also love how REAL she is. This person is sincere and values the time i take to have this service. She is a true Girl Boss and runs her place on her own. No rows of people. Just you, zen music, and a nice lady who takes your nails to the next level. I hope anyone who tries this great place out enjoys it as much as I do. This is my Sweet Escape.

I used to go here quite a bit, but unfortunately, my last experience made me never want to go back…read more First of all, my manicure and pedicure turned out terrible in general. It took 2 1/2 hours for them to complete it. And I had multiple gel toenails peel completely off within days. The most concerning part, however, was that she painted gel all over my cuticles, cured them, and then went in with the cuticle clippers to cut it off. She then cut my cuticle badly, I started bleeding a lot, and she was barehanded and touched the Neosporin tube. bare handed, slapped it on my blood, and repeated this process. I cannot imagine how many people's different blood is on the tip of that Neosporin tube and how many are coming into contact with others blood. Like I am horrified. And she didn't wash her hands with my blood on them, and started working on the girl next to me. Not to mention, she took strip a strip of skin off my eyebrow. Please get better at handling safety and cleanliness it's genuinely concerning.
