This was extremely frustrating. I called ahead to check if they were busy and was told they were not, and to come in at 2:45 PM. I showed up as instructed and ended up waiting an hour and a half. After all that waiting, I was still told I would need to wait longer. I left. I've never done that before at a salon. It honestly feels like the front desk never put me down at all. This is the third time I've come here for a hair cut, and every single time I've waited at least 45 minutes, even when I had an appointment. I don't understand their scheduling system, but it's clearly broken. Definitely won't be returning. read more

This place is by my house. Not even sure how I got here. I was getting my lashes here. I can't remember the girls name. But she did a good job for a natural lash look. And they were fairly priced. Then I went back and they had a huge price hike. read more

Came in from friend's referral however terrible place People here only care about how to charge you how to charge extra for any added service/nail design $103.5 including 15% tip is ridiculous for a cat eye nails. It's not even a full set... Also they kept informing customers to store money with them to get 20% off... is this even legal in California? avoid this place at costs read more

It was the worst haircut I've ever gotten! My hair dresser was yang chao(杨超） he was so arrogant and oblivious! Cut my hair wayyyyy too short right before my big trip of the year. I had to wear hats everywhere and I got upset every time I look at the mirror! Worst human being ever! read more

came here after a friend recommended the place, the prices are outrages and service is terrible. they cut close to my skin and shaved it down very harshly next to my cuticles, leading to bleeding and an infection. yellow pus and liquid started coming out, definitely do not recommend so save your time and money. read more

One of the only place I feel comfortable for haircut and my beard service. Jason is awesome, extremely professional and pays close attention to details. He has not just my business, but I recommend to him everyone I know. Very convenient location on Irvine. Ask for Jason when you get here read more

Worst service ever. They never asked if they can apply Japanese gel? And ask you to pay $70 for one color gel pedicure. Only took 30min for the service. read more

I go to a salon to get pampered but don't expect that from this place. They have the worst service. I made an appointment online but they were not aware of it because apparently they don't check their online appointments. You're supposed to call them over the phone. Great. So I left and was asked to come back 2 hours later. When I did, the whole experience was just awful. The station was not cleaned or sanitized. They barely cleaned my nails. They pretty much just shaped my nails and applied gel polish to it. Even the UV lamp to dry your nails had weird particles inside. It was gross. The ladies working here don't speak much english, too so it's hard to communicate to them what you want done or fixed. Was asked to wash my hands at the end and when I sat back she squirted lotion on my hand and asked me to lather it myself. Everything here is pretty much DIY. I could've done all this at home for free. read more

Jason is amazing. Open Sundays. We found Y&S online and I am so glad I did. Jason worked for years at a very busy salon in New York by JFK airport, which catered to America caucasians. Now he is working with primarily Asians. He brings a perfect blend of working on Americans in a very Asian environment. I love how he straightened my hair perfecfly after covering my grays. Jason asked me if I wanted my hair curly or straight. No one ever asks that! I will definitely see Jason again on a Sunday! 5,000 stars! read more

Had a groupon for a gel manicure and it was a lovely experience! I was the only one in the salon and the salon was really nice and clean. They had tons of options for colors. It was an extra $5 to take off my current gel and an extra $5 for using two colors of polish. Coco did my nails and she did an amazing job! She was super sweet! There was a huge tv on the wall and she put on some netflix for me to watch! Overall everything felt very clean! read more

I have been here 3 times for nails and lashes. First nail experience was horrible. The nail tech cut my cuticles too deep and I kept bleeding. Luckily it didn't hurt too much. Second nail experience was by Jennifer. She did the most perfect nail for me. As for my lash experience, over all was good. Lash tech Lisa was super polite and decently quick on lash application. However I have never had allergies towards lash extensions till she worked on my lashes recently. I still have redness in my eyes and I am unsure what next step is. read more

Have been coming here for years, love my nails and Jason does my hair.. great service and they always have the best tea .. I'm faithful to their work read more

My daughters nails fell off in a week and the other place we go to they stay for a solid 3weeks to a month.

I usually get acrylics but was recommended to this gem by a colleague. First time getting Gel X, and I am so pleased with my nails!!!! From peasant hands, to queen in two hours time. Done by Coco :) read more

I have been coming to Y&S for a few years now. Quine is always the one I make an appointment with. Her attention to detail is exactly what I want. Whenever she does my nails they last for almost 6 weeks because they hardly ever chip. read more

If you want your hair destroyed, go to this place. I avoided this place like a plague but I was desperate since my hairstylist was busy and I was going on a trip. This place was available on the same day so I gave it a shot. I wanted something quick and simple. Just a trim nothing special and trim my bangs (natural face frame)...the guy instead gave me hella layers, from bangs to my whole head. I look like an Asian Karen or HK people from circa 2005...the layer wasn't even great, I looked like a mushroom head. I would have forgiven my hair being layered but what really destroyed my look are my bangs. He hella layered my bangs to the point it stuck up. Like who does that?! I asked for natural face frame and he went all in with the layers. Horrible horrible. If you wanna look like you're from the early 00s, come to this place. 0/10 read more

Everyone is so nice here! I had a broken nail and needs mani asap before it broke further. The front desk was able to arrange me a same day appointment. Queenie was really nice and professional. She took care of my broken nail and did a great job with extensions and matched well with my old set. Will come again for full service. read more

Nail removal costs $20 and they instructed me to add 15% service fee without asking first. Their nail work is ok but the overall experience and pricing is not great. read more

I wouldn't come here again. They overcharged for simple just solid color gel x- they toook a whole hour just removing my old set. For the price I paid, you can get a gel x and pedi somewhere else high end. I'm very annoyed. Never again ! read more

Jennifer is excellent. I live her! Even it was late when I went to this nail salon Jenifer accepted to do my nail and waited there until late to finish it. Thanks read more

Terrible experience. This was a second time with appointment for lashes I was asked to wait. First time 30 min and then got a girl I did not make specific appointment with. My lashes lasted a week and that was it. Today with appointment after waiting for 10 minutes, I was asked to wait another 20 which turned into 40! An hour later when she (Lisa) finally started to work on me, she disappeared for another 10 minutes. I had my eyes all taped up and all. I've had it....now an hour later I was still where I started. Pulled that sh&t off and walked away! Never going back, stay away, they don't value your time!! I moved my schedule around all for nothing... waste of time with these people! read more

Last time I came here to have acrylic nails removed, it cost me just $10, but when I went recently either they changed the price or up charged me double the amount. If the price changed that's something that should be told to the customer or posted somewhere. I told them that the last time I came it was $10 but they disagreed and said it's always been $20. Although it seems like a nominal amount, this felt like pretty shady business practice to me. Also, no nail salon I've ever been to charges more than $10 for removal (before tip), $20 just seems like a rip off to me (pun intended). Wouldn't go again. read more

Awesome place and good quality! Have been coming for different services. Staffs are all professional and nice with pretty clean environment. Will definitely come back and recommend. read more

I bought a Groupon for my daughter few days back, trying to make an Appt. Called 3 to 4 times this morning. No answer. No options to leave a VM! Can't just walk in since appointments are required. Y&S, can someone please call me at (714) 812-0198 so I can make an appointment. TY! read more

I used to get Japanese nail art done in Costa Mesa but sadly the nail shop closed down... I stumbled upon this place while I was getting food in the same plaza. I read that coco was popular so I made an appointment with her over the phone. I showed her a photo of what I wanted done and she delivered. My nails are soo pretty and I can't wait to come back! Thank you! read more

Horrible customer service. Will never go back. Brought my daughter for gel manicure and was done in 5 minutes. It looked like nothing had been done. Asked for another coat and the girl refused to do it. read more

This place is extremely pricey! I went in as a walk in for gel nails with art. I saw their yelp photos with nail arts and it was totally my style so I decided to come in. I showed them a picture of what I wanted which is similar to the arts they have on yelp. I didn't get the name of my nail tech but she did an amazing job and my nails were just like the photo I showed her. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because if the price. I paid $140 w/o tip just for simple gel nails and simple decor. At other places I've usually paid only around $30 - $50 for the same kind of nails. I was kind of taken back by the price. I wasn't sure if I heard her correctly but then I saw my bank account deduct $140 already. I believe that the nails are not even worth over $100 but it's my fault for not asking the price in the first place. Overall, I would not come back because of the price. Had it been around $50 I'd definitely come back because the nail techs are really skilled. read more

SCAM! 1st off Lousy Service! And they added on a tip WITHOUT MY CONSENT! I asked for a refund and they would not refund me or void transaction. I stupidly didn't but the Groupon-BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME NOT TO. I'm contacting Groupon to inform them of this business. read more

Made an appointment to get my nails done at 11AM. When I arrived there was only one employee working already on another customer. I wasn't seen until 11:40AM. My nails turned out nice, but I don't think I would come back due to the wait time. The pedicure was also pretty short and didn't include a foot scrub. read more

Great customer service and really nicely done. I have been here several times and will definitely come again! Highly recommend!

Long overdue review BUT I have already had multiple nail appointments here, all with CoCo (was going to gate-keep her name cus I would only do my nails with her here). Initially came here to remove my lash extensions but saw how clean and professional their nail work is, I decided to give it a try and have been going here regularly since! read more

Still love this place. Requested highlights from Roy and he delivered. I recommended my cousin to get her haircut here. 1 haircut became 3 family haircuts. All of them loved their new hair-do. I believe Steve assisted with the new make-over. Here's a picture of my beautiful dye and highlights, it's been 1 month in the last picture and the wash out is even more beautiful. They know what they're doing. read more

Good quality and good skills. Girls there are so patient to clean up your hand. Shine and glittering of decoration. Relaxing environment.

I have been getting my eyebrows waxed for 23 years and have never had them bleed, swell or hurt nearly as bad as this. I waited overnight to see if the swelling or redness would subside, but I am pretty sure I am going to scab at this point. Not only that but I am in excruciating pain. Furthermore, I came in to get a gel fill, because their website says they do gels, later they informed me they do not do gel fills. Finally, after getting a pedicure since they couldn't do anything else, I was charged a whopping EIGHTY DOLLARS for a pedicure, I didn't even have callus removal and it was EIGHTY DOLLARS. My friend got a pedicure WITH callus removal and hers was FOURTY DOLLARS! I'm not sure if this place should even legally be open if they are going to permanently SCAR PEOPLE'S FACES! I only came here as a desperate last option because every other nail salon was closed early on a Sunday but lesson learned! AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!' I'm going to be traumatized if this scars my face!!! read more

I bought a Groupon for eyelash extensions and when I get there they told me I would have to pay additional for the effect I wanted (which i was already annoyed about). she then insisted that I refund the Groupon and pay directly... long story short I ended up paying double the original amount for pretty subpar lashes. Would definitely not be coming back. read more
