Gel nails
Debbie R.

Outstanding service! As a walk-in , I wasn't sure what type of quality I would get . I had a wonderful person, Tracy, who helped me and gave me flawless gel nails . Definitely going back!

This is the day after.

Terrible service. Went for eyebrows and the lady was far from gentle. Burns in both eyes. They were on a rush. And they didn't honor my appointment. Waited 45 min for service. Zero stars. But I have to put one to be able to post.

This salon is always accommodating with appointments, and the technicians are efficient and skilled. I usually get powdered dip nails, and even with all the work I do with my hands, they last impressively long. Their pricing is fair, and the consistency keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!Thanks to Nikki & Hannah!

Della's summer manicure. So many compliments!
Shay K.

Nikki is always welcoming and remembers me even though I go so infrequently! It's comfortable and they tend to you right away. The service is always quick and detailed. Della is the best at manicures and is always precise!

Ann did my nails and she was so sweet! She kept on making sure I liked my nails and genuinely cared about my opinion. I had an amazing experience and I really recommend requesting Ann to do your nails! I felt very calm and relaxed.

Pedicure bowl with green stuff on the drain.

I hate to give bad reviews. The bad review is in the pedicure bowl. I know they use the liner for pedicures but it's still gross. I looked in other bowls and they looked worse. I tried to email this but couldn't find a way. Otherwise good nail job.

I have been going to U Nails for over 6+ years and it is truly the only place that I trust going to for my manicures and pedicures. This small business is female-owned and the staff are always courteous and respectful. The quality of their work is unmatched for the price and value of their services. I always get dip, but they offer a wide variety of services like acrylic, gel, and regular polish. They have different price points based on the type of service you want, which is awesome. They do their best to accommodate walk-ins, but it's best to call and make an appointment as they are a very good and popular salon. Tips are always appreciated and preferred in cash, but they always accommodate card too. I love coming here and the owner is always very kind and helpful. She has taught me a lot over the years, so that I am always improving the health of my nails. I appreciate that she cares so much to even tell me! You don't get that kind of service anywhere else! I always refer my family and friends because they are one of the only trustworthy and honest nail salons I've ever been to in Orange County. Please check them out, they are awesome! Let them know Sarah sent you! :)

Got these nails today! I hated them at first, but it wasn't the nail tech's fault (never got her name), she was an absolute gem and tried her absolute hardest when I gave her a difficult design. I got gel x and it did burn, but my fault for not speaking up. I paid $90 for this whole set which was an okay price for what I got; the nail tech even had matched the inspo pic and added 3d waves on the thumb. They look nice and are really starting to grow on me! Except, on the inside of my nail the glue for the gel x is kind of overflowing and has left over nail dust in it too. The lady also over drilled me, but she did check in with me multiple times to make sure everything was good and okay to my liking! I will come back to get them filled probably.

To preface this review, I will say that I came to this salon expecting quality after reading the reviews. I had been lured by the regulars raving about the quality and good prices. I should have paid closer attention because this salon is terrifying. I am genuinely worried about the cleanliness and hygiene of this place. I had called ahead to request a removal of my gel x set and then application of a new set. They asked for my name and phone number and it was okay. I show up at the time we agreed upon only to be directed to an empty desk. I then waited for 10 minutes, not even given a swatches to choose a color. The salon itself was crowded, which is normally a good sign, but I'm looking at their polish shelves which are overflowing with product and haphazardly organized. The bottles themselves look like they've seen better days with dirty caps crusted in old gel and grime. The tech comes over to me and starts to remove my current set. She uses a very coarse bit, not one I have ever seen a tech use before to remove gel x. The first touch of the drill hurts! It was so hot I pulled my hand away. She does adjust her angle but does not adjust the speed of the drill. The removal feels like a game of patty cake with how many times I had to pull away. Then she starts the soak by wrapping my nails in foil and acetone. All pretty typical. Then the tech just disappears, no where to be seen for ten minutes while my nails soaking after giving me swatches to go through. The swatches as a side are horrendously organized and thrown with no care into cheap looking basket. At this point I'm covered in nail dust, my nails hurt, and I'm wondering what am I doing. The tech comes back, proceeds to use the same bit she used to do the first bit of filing! To be honest I'm terrified at this point. Now we've finished the removal process and she starts sizing the new tips. I notice that the box is for short stiletto tips, not the medium almond I had asked for. When I asked, the tech said just check the length, we can file after if you want more round. While she was sizing the first tip, I looked at the bottles of gel and they are crusted in old gel to the point it looks like they have 3D art on them. This was my breaking point. I asked politely if I could just have a normal gel manicure. She had only sized three nails, no application yet. So she does as asked and puts the tips away. Then she turns to the tech next to her and says something in Vietnamese. Now, I don't speak Vietnamese but I could those two were gossiping about something given the tone and facial expressions on their faces. So my tech goes and gets a bowl of water to soak my nails in. The water is cold and she does a rushed job of trimming my cuticles with tools she pulls out of her cart. I saw her spray them with alcohol before using them on me which is something for cleanliness but I'm used to sterilized and wrapped tools at other salons. When she finished the prep, the tech brought out a jar of some type of clear gel to apply on my nails. I'm no nail tech but even I could tell that it didn't look like base coat. She preceded to finish the manicure and then just slathered on some cuticle oil from another dirty looking bottle. Afterwards she gave me the most clipped sounding thank you I have ever heard. In the end I paid close to fifty dollars for a terrifying manicure of moderate quality. Ladies beware!

I came here for a pedicure and it was wonderful! That's why I decided to come back for a manicure, but unfortunately the experience wasn't the same. I was asked to pay and tip beforehand, so I didn't have a chance to adjust once I saw the result. My nails didn't turn out well at all, and I left feeling really disappointed. Maybe I just chose the wrong color, but overall I wish the quality matched my first visit.

Dip top coat
Maria V.

Powder dip top coat on natural nails. Great fast service. Was there during my lunch break and was out in about 1 hour. Reasonable prices and great variety of colors. Nice quiet place.

This salon is amazing. The staff is super friendly and fast, but efficient. The tech did amazing on my design and honestly it is such great pricing. 1000% recommend!
