    Holiday French dip manicure
    Amanda G.

    Great first experience! Called at 7:30 pm and they were able to take me for a late Monday night appointment. They didn't rush at all, and in fact, stayed past 10 pm! I loved how my nails turned out (shoutout to the lovely technician who suggested the red tips) and thoroughly enjoyed the leg scrub / massage that I received during my pedicure. Located in Irvine near John Wayne in the same center as Bare Waxing & Laser and Krisp Fresh Living.

    My daughter loved her first experience with a mani pedi. Everyone was super nice and they even stayed late to take us. Great service

    Gel builder nails with nude polish. Love !

    Just got my gel builder nails (done by Lan) and gel pedicure (done by Mimi). They are truly so kind and amazing! I'm super happy with how my nails came out and I am super picky. They are kind, patient and detailed. Not rushed at all. Super good service. Would recommend 10/10! Right next to John Wayne airport and by lots of food. Super convenient location with lots of parking.

    Beautiful nails, very meticulous and have great attention to detail! Lan did my nails & I love them. Builder gel is my fav & always lasts a long time from here :)

    Gel polish cured on base of toe
    Megan M.

    No no no. I should've known when I walked in that this wasn't going to be the most spectacular nail salon. Starting off, I had to find the gel colors myself and thankfully a nice customer getting her toes done already pointed to me where they were on a table. The color samples were in basket and there was so much crust on them that all the colors looked matte. There are small gnats flying around everyone in this salon. I killed at least ten of ten flying around my chair when I was there. I had existing gel that needed to be removed. She told me $6 extra for that. No worries because I saw that listed on classpass earlier. However, once she began, staff used the crustiest file bits from a tin that has clearly been used on PLENTY others before me. I'm going to go home right away to thoroughly clean my feet and hope I don't get any time of infection from the nasty tools here. The lady filed my skin around my toe nails multiple times with the drill bit. My skin around my toe nails were very apparently red after the filing & cuticle cut. Once she put alcohol on my toes I could feel all the micro cuts stinging. I had to sit through the rest of the appointment in silence, feeling itchy from all the gnats around I had to kill. The small bugs must be normal with the way the staff wasn't even flinching when one would fly in front of their faces. The polish I picked had some additive that made it so liquidy and it was dripping all over the towel, on her hands, on my skin. I kept hearing her whisper to herself that the "color was no good" but she never spoke up to ask me if I wanted to change the color. She would keep touching the gel after curing to check if it was done. Something is wrong with the gel polish. Application was so messy the lady said the color I picked was making her "tired" from the amount of clean up each toe was needing. She CURED improperly wiped up polish on my SKIN and then proceeded to try and SCRATCH it off with her nails. I'm sorry, what?? Then once she finished curing my top coat she went to file off loads of gel that made it onto my skin. Then she used acetone to off the gel that made it onto my skin where she couldn't file like down my big toe and the top of my ankles, this also amplified the sting from again, all the micro cuts on my skin from her original file. 5 minute foot massage w lotion at the end was the best part, but came with the growing anxiety of the quality of the job done. Actually so appalled by the lack of cleanliness here.

    Great job!!

    I love this place! They saw me on short notice, did an excellent job. They were so efficient, I didn't have to wait, they have lots of capacity.

    Perfect nails

    Lan took me a little late and did a phenomenal job!! She is so detail oriented which I love! 10/10 service, I will be returning!

    Magnetic gel manicure by Lan
    Matthew R.

    Lan was able to accommodate me when I called in for a impromptu appointment, even after store hours. She made my Birthday very special. Thank you Lan! I can't wait to see you again. * kind and friendly * accommodating on short notice * paraffin wax treatment and full manicure around 75$

    Amazing service and great work! Love my nails!! I will be back. Everyone was great and talented.

    Great Self-Care Place with some friends!
    Elisa S.

    Great Self-Care Place with some friends! We did wait a little before getting helped but there's cool places nearby to grab a snack or study . Staff is very friendly and accommodating! (Don't mind our faces - it was just very ticklish)

    First off, I really want to acknowledge the attention to detail and diligence this crew has. This is one of the only nail salons in the area that closes at 9 and I happened to call around the right time without a wait. It seemed like after 7 pm there was a large amount of people coming in. I appreciated how the male answering the phone did not give false hope to people who were waiting (like it would take 30 min to wait rather than 10 min but really be like 30 minutes like other places I have been to in the past). I had Lan who was so sweet and attentive. I may have the best pedicure I've had in a long time with exfoliation, a clay mask, and a 15 min foot massage. I appreciated her openness and willingness to speak as I did not hear as much chatter from the other staff. I finally tried the Gel X nails, which is a good alternative to acrylic since my nails seemed brittle and unhealthy from previous having acrylic nails. Gel X gives the strength of the gel and length of the acrylics but does not cause damage to the natural nails. The only thing I would minus is the presentation of the place. It seems like a hole in the wall but their prices are high, which seems like a contradiction.

    gelX nails

    Lan is the best!! Not only did she do an amazing job making my gelx set look BEAUTIFUL, but she also was so kind. She made sure I liked my nails every step of the way and was very flexible making any tweaks (although I barely requested any because she was so attentive to detail!). I will definitely be coming back to see her!

    Gel X Pink Cat Eye

    Lan did an absolutely FANTASTIC job giving me a full set of gel x nails. Her attention to detail, kind attitude, and patience made my experience a 10/10! She took her time making any adjustments I requested and helped me experiment with colors until we decided on the perfect combination of bubble bath + cat eye! She even stayed after closing to take care of me and my friend. Would absolutely return here for another set of beautiful nails

    The one good thing about this place was that it is very clean looking on the inside…read more Bad things: 1. When walking in the plaza one time I saw a sign on the ceiling that said Cosmo nail salon so on the day I actually wanted to go in and get my nails done I called Cosmo Nail Salon to ask the prices. The lady on the phone told me she will not tell me the prices on the phone and I have to look it up myself online so I went and looked at Cosmo prices which is the name that's on the board outside of the salon and the phone number I called and saw the prices and decided to go there. Then when I went in she told me that the sign outside of the establishment is not the name of the establishment and they have different prices. (mind you there is no other establishment next-door to them that does nails) I went in expecting the charge to be $52 and they ended up charging me $72. That was the first bad thing, they refused to tell me what the prices are. They have the wrong sign outside the door and they did absolutely nothing to rectify the mistake. 2. People doing my nails, barely spoke any English so when I told them that I want the shape of my nail to match the shape of my nail bed, they didn't understand, and the shapes were slanted and stupid looking. I ended up asking them for the Nail file after they finished and reshaped my nails myself while they waited. 3. There was supposed to be a two minute massage on the pedicure, but the person literally just rubbed lotion on the top of my foot and my ankle ankles and never rubbed the bottom of my feet. 4. When it came to taking care of the cuticles, the lady never soaked my right hand, but she soaked my left hand and cold water.
