    Jus went in here for a fill after going elsewhere and my nails lifting within a week. This place was close by and it looked clean. They were busy however they got me in for next day at 11 am. They were prompt and respected their scheduled appointments. I didn't catch the nail techs name but she was patient and thorough. My nails were only $35 and I left a $5 tip. There was no charge to use a credit card. Over all very satisfied with the service. Will report back on retention in a few.

    Tammy and the team are always so accommodating and wonderful!! The place is clean and their service is great.

    I've been coming to Tropical Nails in La Habra for over 15 years, and they never disappoint! The service is always friendly, professional, and consistent, no matter who you see. I recently got a set done with a mix of frenzy tips, flowers, and strawberries--and I'm obsessed! Whether you're looking for something classic or fun and trendy, this place always delivers. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful designs as always. And the ladies here are always so welcoming and care about their customers.

    Thank you Lynn for doing my nails and making them shimmer! The first time I've ever had my nails done and they are perfect!

    I've been coming to Tropical Nails for months and I'm always happy with my gel manicure. Tammy is amazing--she truly cares about her work, never rushes, and will redo designs until they're perfect. The salon is clean, the staff is friendly, and the quality is outstanding. My gel lasts 3-4 weeks with no lifting. Highly recommend for beautiful, long-lasting nails!

    Infected nail!

    I'm so disappointed that I paid a visit to this salon. It's everything that makes a bad or mediocre salon, absolutely terrible. This place is the worst for these reasons: 1) During my visit my nail tech probably answered six phone calls. She didn't have an ear piece so she stopped what she was doing to write down new appointments in a huge planner book. I don't think she truly picked up where she left off on my feet and all I could see were that my toe nails were different shapes and lengths. 2) I didn't appreciate the constant laughter and taunting. I felt instinctively that they were laughing at their customers (and probably at me) and not necessarily at a joke. What could be so funny for 45 minutes straight? Unprofessional to say the least. If they were not in fact laughing at me, at any rate, it made for an uncomfortable experience. 3) Because the nail tech was taking phone calls, the services took forever! Not a good use of my time. 4) Unsanitary! At every salon I've visited since the pandemic (or maybe earlier than that), the tech takes out sterilized equipment from a blue sealed bag. This establishment DOES NOT. The equipment used is just lying around from a previous customer. I was mortified. Aren't they in health violation? 4) Super rough technique! The tech sanded down my foot and practically burned me with the abrasion. She also clipped my nail bed so bad it got infected. Now I have to pay a visit to Urgent Care to get this taken care of! 5) Value - not even worth it. Not close. Over priced and unsanitary tools with rude service to boot. I paid $85 for a gel mani pedi without any add-ons. What a rip off. 6) Vibe - dated and dingy. I am kicking myself for coming here. Do yourself a favor and run as far as you can from this place!

    I've been here 3 times now and have been helped almost instantly when arriving (usually right after work 5/530pm) Tammy does a great job! I went almost 4 weeks without needing a fill, her application is amazing! ( I'll have to take photos next time) My most recent set came out perfect!

    They never give me the exact gel color I select and then insist it's the one I selected; and their cheap products always damage my nails.

    How much is a pedicure? What different pedicures do they have?

    Do they have gel x?

    Yes, they do!

    Do they do great designs? I have been to most reputable places in the La Habra, Brea, Fullerton area but seen to have a tough time getting decent nail art.

    Ask for Jody. You'll need a 2 hour appointment depending on how intricate the design is. And you can get around the appointment, she's usually booked.

    Is this salon well-ventilated? Asking because I'm pregnant but I need a pedicure!

    I went here recently and they kept their front door open so there was a breeze. It didn't feel warm in there however I am not sure if they use AC.

Unfortunately I paid more than what was necessary for my mani and pedi services, including a 20% tip which I usually elect as courtesy. Looking back, I highly regret it. Although most of the nail techs and the manager I spoke with appeared to be kind and apologetic, the actual result of my service was unsatisfactory. Angel went above and beyond, attempting to remedy my loss and apologized to me for what happened which wasn't even her fault per se, but in the end, it doesn't change the fact that I could've paid less for better service elsewhere. Furthermore, I had some concerns as to the cleanliness of the salon but overlooked them. One of the nail techs made a comment to her colleague about the separators being dirty and grimy. Luckily the reaction on my toes cleared up. However, I am still dealing with a skin reaction on both my hands that require medical treatment. The manager told me I don't need to come back and initially I wanted to give them another chance because of how cooperative they were about fixing the issues, but now with my health at risk, I won't be returning and can not recommend this salon. Edit: I feel uncomfortable with the manager's approach to responding to reviews as she seems to warp the facts in the light most favorable to her business. She makes it sound as if I rescheduled my appointment multiple times, when it was a single time change on the same day, provided I returned the following day to get my nails fixed. On both occasions, I observed concerns about cleanliness being subpar to what I've personally experienced at other salons. Although they attempted to fix my nails, it was not worth the hassle. Two of my nails chipped within a matter of days and as mentioned earlier, I ended up with a skin reaction. Furthermore, as I expressed to her employees, I didn't feel comfortable with them attempting to do the French tips again because of how they turned out the first time. She kept erasing them and redoing it while mumbling under her breath, which made me feel uncomfortable about proceeding. A solid color seemed like the best way to go for everyone involved.

I paused to look, realizing they'd had their nails done before and that girls usually get excited about it. The gel on their toes chipped off, revealing their nails and areas where the technician missed spots, except for the designs, which they did poorly. It looked like they painted each other's nails instead of a professional doing a proper job. For that price, I expected better work, and it's a good idea to check the results before leaving.
