In search of a "Japanese style nail artist" is not easy to find. While there are several artists who say they offer this service, there are few in the States. Trusting my 'yelp reviewees' I found a fabulous artist! I was amazed at her detailed designs. I brought several pictures in and she did better than the picture I brought in! Interesting set up. Her space is in a business park. A one room office is cutely decorated and she is the only artist. Plan ahead bc service is by appointment only which can be a bit out. Only disappointment for me was there was no massage with the manicure. read more

Jina is awesome! The nail shop might be a bit hard to find because it is located inside a hair salon but once you look out for May Queen salon, it's easy to find. Plenty of parking as well. Just go straight into the salon and you'll find Jina in her separate nail room. She's a real pro at copying any design and doesn't even sweat about it. Super sweet and really takes her time to clean/trim your nails. If you're unsure about a design, she provides many ideas and suggestions to make it cuter! I'll definitely be visiting her monthly! Just be sure to make an appointment!! read more

Twinkle Nail - Perfect for spring! - Nail Salons Near Me

She's got mad skills and is very friendly. She knows what she's doing and she'll make the decision for you if you're indecisive like me haha. It's by appt so you are getting 100% of her attention so it's way more intimate than walk in nail places. Extremely happy with the finished product and price! Will be going back regularly! read more

This place is clean and they are generally nice but I felt a lot of pressure to get stones bc thats the first picture that I showed them. But I told them I didnt want stone after they told me it may fall out before my wedding. So i said no stone (appreciating their honesty) but then they said small stones should do and kept pressuring me. This was for my wedding and I wanted simple classic look but I came out of the place feeling really sad and bad. Sad bc I drove all the way from SD to see what good nail art is about and I did not like how my nails came out. The stones arent even pretty. It looks tacky more than anything. I spent $60 + 8 tip. Ive gotten nicer gel manis spending $30... I wish i didnt tip so much, maybe I would have felt better. But Im a tipper so I might have felt worse if I didnt. Sigh so much regret. Ill be getting them redone for just a classic french. Nails would have been cute for like - a rave? Not My wedding... MORAL OF THE STORY: Don't get stones!! read more

This place is really REALLY hard to find. It took me awhile. Its located inside a hair salon next to car wash and pizza hut. Gina is a true professional; she kept recommending what'd look better and kept asking if I liked her work. If you need extensions, you need to tell her when you make your appointment. Also she does NOT take card. Either cash or check. Overall I'm super satisfied!! read more

don't waste your time searching for any other high rating nail salon / getting your nails done anywhere else. Jina is an awesome nail designer. I showed her a picture that I liked and she did an amazing job. actually I liked it better than the picture I brought :P black nails are the one I'v gotten done on Oct 29, and got purple/white done yesterday Dec,16 . black one didn't even peel a bit. it just grew too long, looked like a French tip.. haha. my nails lasts more than 6-7weeks (for me) when I get done by Jina. gel wouldn't peel off for that long...!! I get so much compliments from everyone. If you are looking for a new place, I highly recommend this place. you wont regret it!! (make sure you make an appointment ahead of time.) read more

I came here after not doing anything to my nails for a while. I showed her the design of nails that I want. I wanted light pink + coral color, but they just didn't have enough colors. From rows of nailpolish displayed on the wall, I would point to one close to the color that I want and ask her "how about that one?" They would reply that all the ones I picked are highlight colors. How about separate different types of colors into different sections? Also, a nail shop without enough variations of pink (and too many highlights!) does not seem very prepared to serve customer base of mostly females. I got a very limited choice and was forced to pick from it. It would've been better if she just picked out similar colors and had me pick one. She was pressuring me to choose my colors quickly and I did not feel comfortable at all. She didn't help much and seemed annoyed that I'm making her get up and pick color from the wall (because I cannot reach them). Am I supposed to have everything prepared and show her exactly what I want? I was asking myself, what am I doing here getting treated like this for trying to get my nails done? She did a nice job, but it was pricey. On top of that, I had to tip her, which made it even more expensive. I searched my wallet and found my stamp card, but she said, "Oh, that one's old. We have a new one now." She handed me a new stamp card with only one stamp! I guess my old stamp card automatically expires after they get a new one? I was so done with this place with bad service, high price, non-transferrable stamps no matter how skilled she is. There is no reason to come here if it makes me feel terrible to get nails done. read more

I'm just going straight into it. Pro: friendly, cute place, design is on point. Con: they charge $5-10 extra just to remove the old gel nail. No message, no warm water/towel for the hand. For a regular mani or pedi its $30 I believe, which is expensive because they hardly do anything beside trim and paint the nail. My mani total to $60 with the design. read more

The lady was super careful and did a beautiful job. I had designs on 6 nails.. It was a whopping $60 (pre-tip) There wasn't really any sort of massage. I had the glass nail design that requires little pieces of plastic in the nail polish. Imagine my dismay that 1 day later, it began to peel off. :( I'm sort of sad. I'm sure if I went back and showed her, she'd fix it, but I'm not local so.. yeah. read more

She's really good at designing and very detail. The place is really quiet and clean. I really love my nails and getting lots of compliments. I can't wait to go back and do different design on my nails. read more

Twinkle Nail - Love it!!! - Nail Salons Near Me

Today was my first time here. I came here after looking through their gallery. First of all, I was very impressed with the pictures. Really liked their designs and how much effort it seemed they put into it. I want to start off by saying that the lady that did my nails is really nice and sincere. I initially went in wanting to do a design that I had in mind, but since my nails are short right now, she suggested that I do something different since it wouldn't look as nice. I agreed and was open to options. When she was cleaning my cuticles, shaping the nails, She put every ounce of effort into each nail. She was very gentle with my hands and nails. She even told me to tell her if she hurts me. I was really like the way she cared for me as her customer. All the other times, when I would go to vietnamese places, they would make me bleed and blame the crooked shape of my nails on me instead of their crappy handwork. They would also be so rough and harsh on me whenever I would ask them to make my nail shape straight or point out to them that the acrylic, gel, manicure was smeared, etc. Anyway. I plan on coming to this place from here on out. Koreans are the best when it comes to nail design and shaping... It seems like they consider our nails as a canvas for their masterpiece, not a place where they can do whatever, very fast to make some money. And no. I'm not being racist. I'm stating the facts as someone who has been to a lot of nail salons for over 11 years. :) read more

I will start by saying if you are looking for a spa type treatment you should look somewhere else. HOWEVER if the design and detail in your nails is what you crave this is the best place I have ever been. They do all dry service since they are not in a salon store front. Meaning, no hot water soak just hot towels. They still do an amazing job at triming back cuticles and shaping your nails. The detail and care given to the shape and design of the nail work is amazing. Although I chose a simple design, I can say with confidence I could walk in with any photo/design and get amazing results! Jina is very sweet and gental with beautiful artsmanship and attention to detail! I love my nails and I would definitley go back read more

I hardly ever get nail art but I was inspired by some designs I saw online. I showed Jina the designs I wanted and she recreated each look perfectly. She's definitely a master at her skill. She's extremely detail oriented and precise with each design. My appointment was easy to book. I think the previous salon was called May Queen but it is now called Kim Sun Young salon where she is located. I'll be coming back for more designs. read more

I was looking for nail artist to do my wedding nail and since the first girl I contact was soooo expensive and top it off she bailed out on last minute I was freaking out. I found this place on yelp and contacted right away. Luckily they had the opening so I booked it. Connie, nail artist worked on my nail which I showed her a picture of design I wanted. She took care and I loved the outcome of my nail! Highly Recommended! Since they were having September special, my nail art costed $55 (w/o tip) not bad! Will come back again! Also, it's in a business building inside a tax service office. read more

Jina is so professional and she's a great designer! If there is a particular design that you like, go ahead and bring it in with you to show her--she also provides suggestions on how to make it prettier/to your liking. Super clean and the area is clean as well. She uses really good quality materials--I don't see the kind of polish she uses at the typical nail salon--also she uses jewels and rhinestones and add ons that aren't as easily available around. She used this new method called glass-style nails and I really love it! (it's the newest trend in Korea right now--summer 2015) She has an Instagram: look up @twinkle.nail ! & she's starting to provide pedicure services soon as well! The shop is located inside a small building off of Beach Blvd--there is a hair salon called Kim Sun Young and its inside here (across from the plaza that has el pollo loco). read more

Twinkle Nail - Beautiful!!! - Nail Salons Near Me

5 stars, EASILY. I'm a recent OC girl from the valley and have been devoting my long, exhausting drive to Ktown for nails, which I've never been 100% satisfied with. This is easily my favorite nail salon and I'd trust her with my nails any day. Jina is incredibly friendly, very detail-oriented and I love her confidence with her own creative suggestions. I love that by the end of the session, it felt like 2 girlfriends gossiping and chitchatting the day away. Might as well bring a bottle of wine to finish it off. I definitely can't wait for my next designs. :) read more

Twinkle Nail is by far the best gel nail manicure I've EVER received. Connie was my artist :) she gave me fabulous beautiful nail designs. I got them done for my birthday as I wanted to do something nice for myself~~ it's been nearly three weeks and they're still in top condition- no chips, no breaks, no under peeling~ they're a bit less shiny because of natural wear and but they still are near perfect. I've been doing dishes, going to the spa, lots of showers ~ and still in the best condition ever. I had designs on every single finger so it was more expensive than your simple gel art. She took the time to put every single glass design on, she made sure it was smooth~~ I appreciated her eye for perfection. Soooo worth the money. I will come back in a heartbeat. They book 2hr time slots for their clients. Call for an appointment. They do not disappoint. Make sure you tip well! I've never been more satisfied with my gel designs :))!! read more

Found my new nail spot! Jina is super good at doing all kinds of designs. She works alone, so make sure to schedule an appointment.

This is my 2nd time getting my nails done by Jina. I hopped around and tried out different nail technicians in oc but I decided to stick with Jina. Jina takes a good hour(depending on what design you want) but she definitely takes her time and doesn't make you feel rushed. She's not like Vietnamese nail technicians that take walk-ins and spend at most 30mins on you. She asks often if what she's doing is okay. She always makes my nails look like the picture I show her at the beginning. She is very friendly and easily makes you feel at home. I enjoyed getting to know her, she has a very funny and cute personality. I feel comfortable coming to her for some nail therapy. :) read more

Twinkle Nail - Just wish my nails were longer.. - Nail Salons Near Me

I've been wanting to try this place out and I did. However, it ended up being disappointing experience. The service was definitely nice. Here's when it kinda crumbled down. I called ahead to make an appointment and I was informed that the payments should be in cash, which I thought, no big deal. So I brought cash but needed change. But she was like "we have no change" she wasn't even sorry about it. First of all, this is business. What kind of business doesn't carry any change??? (Ridiculous and unprofessional) they don't have change and they expect customers to pay in cash? (Nonsense) and when I tried to pay with my debit card, she was worried about the fees!! You can't do business if you're worried about credit card fees. Anyway, at the end, she gave me their coupon card but threw it away cuz I'm never going back. read more
