I've tried about 7 different nail salons around OC, some good some not so good, but Z nails definitely made it to the top of my list. I had Michael do my full set of acrylics and he was friendly and precise. He made sure I was happy with the shape and length of the nails and was extremely patient while I tried to pick out multiple different shades of colors for each nail (I was going for an easter/spring vibe). The prices are incredible as well, as I had been paying about $85+ average at other salons & that was before tip. I will absolutely be returning and recommend others try this spot out as well!

I hate leaving a poor review for this place as I know the owners are great at what they do but my nails were done with someone else who apparently had no idea how to put gel manicure. First off when I was there I wanted to do a French manicure with blue tops but when she painted the first one, it was so bad that I asked her to leave my nails without any colors. After just 10 days my nails peeled off ( starting at day 5) I am going to post the photo of my nails and you can judge by yourself. You can tell from my photo that my nails are very new as a couple of them are showing how much my nails have grown. I won't be going back to that lady.

Acrylic with gel - transparent light pink

Returning client. Michael did an amazing job on my acrylic fill with gel polish. Highly recommend any of their technicians for acrylic nails.

The nail design I wanted , including a color match.

I shall list below the reasons they are given one star, based on my first time experience. I made an appointment the day of, I was looking to get dip powder with extensions done and the designs based off of either of the two photo options I chose. They both were simple. I sat with Mike, who was kind and somewhat communicative. My issue is the fact that with the design I asked for, i needed assistance on choosing the right dip powder color to match because - I'm not a nail tech nor do I know how the colors come out on my nails after being applied. None of the staff I spoke with, including Mike, helped me choose the right color even after I explained I needed help on picking the closest color he said, "you can pick any of them" - ahhh, no I can't because I'm looking for a copy of the picture I had not some random color to go with dark brown tips. I was looking for a nude base. During the process of removal, my nail extensions were removed yet not done correctly. I still had old product under my nails . There was no cuticle cutting or even cleaning up of my nails before applying the new dip. And most places at the least cut the cuticle to clean up the area for a new application and to also make it look better overall. I continued to allow Mike to work and finish the dip application, however when he began to apply the dark brown tip he didn't use a fine nail brush, he just used the brush from the bottle- which made the application of the French tips look TERRIBLE. Not only that, it didn't match well with the color I tried to replicate from the photo I had. Again, I don't know what to choose and the whole reason for showing a design picture is for the nail tech to copy what they see. I had him remove the brown tips because they didn't look Good nor did the colors go well together. I always tip and tip 20%, but that doesn't mean I'm satisfied with the service. Mike didn't offer to help decide on a different color for the tip or offer any insight on what might go well, so I was at that point over the lack of care within the service provided and just wanted to go home. Mind you, the service took nearly two hours. The nail shaping was not up to par, there are bumps on some of the nails where it hasn't been filed down smoothly. Overall, the experience I had at this nail salon was poor. If someone comes in wanting a design and is willing to pay for it, why are they subjected to make decisions on the colors when they're uneducated in the nail business. The whole point of showing a design to a nail tech is to get a replicated style. I won't be return to this location sadly. Side note: they don't use fans to suck up the dust from the nails and you're breathing all of that in, and that is also why the stars are low.

I absolutely LOVE Z Nails!! I frequently use Heather, as my technician, but truly everyone is incredible and so talented. The staff does an excellent job--taking their time, paying attention to your request and putting 100% effort into the services asked for. The quality of service is impeccable, and I recommend all family/friends to this business!

I went to Z nails for a manicure, and after just one week, the polish peeled off completely. When I returned to have it fixed, the technician claimed he (Mike owner!!) didn't remember me and said I would need to pay again for the service. I found this very frustrating, especially since I was hoping for a resolution to my issue. It's disappointing when a salon doesn't stand by their work or acknowledge returning customers. I won't be coming back and suggest others look for a place that values customer service. customer servise = 1 star product quality= Zero ( stands the name of the salon) No wonder why everyone bring their own gel!!!! read more

What a find! This place takes such good care of their customers' nails. I was impressed with their delicacy when removing my acrylics so as not to damage my natural nail. Shout out also to Heather for taking the time to tell me about the different nail enhancements and giving me advice about nail shapes/lengths so that they wouldn't get damaged. I live in Nevada but come to OC often enough to make a stop here when I can. I wasn't the type to get my nails done frequently but this place has given me a reason to! I've never walked away from here disappointed. Make sure to make an appointment beforehand and bring cash, they do take card, but you get more points thru their loyalty rewards program with cash pay. read more

Omg I'm speechless! Giving Z nails 5 stars! Best customer service, best design, very clean and comfortable homey place. I found Z nails by accident and I'm so glad I did! Z nails is truly a hidden gem in Orange County. My nails turned out amazing. I love it! It's so hard to find a nail artist that understands the nail shape I wanted since I use the computer for 8 hours and I can't really go longer than this. I'm just happy how it turned out. They accept credit cards, but cash is preferred to get points and get $10 off on your next visit. Give this place a go please you won't be disappointed! read more

I am happy to say that I found my go-to nail salon. Friendly staff, clean shop, and not to mention affordable prices for amazing quality nails. It only costs $30 to get SNS dipping powder done, and they offer complimentary beverages while you're getting pampered. Heather is hands down one of the best nail technicians I ever had. She is meticulous and listens to what you want. She makes sure that every nail is PERFECT! 2 weeks later and my nails still look amazing. I am pretty confident that my nails will last up to 4 weeks.

Coming here was a happy accident and I'm so grateful for it! The original place I had booked closed for weather conditions without warning so I found Z Nails and drove over quickly (I was on a time crunch). They quoted me about a 15 min wait for a dip manicure as there were only three people working and all were currently with customers. I was amazed their quote was spot on as other nail salons I've been to I've seen them quote a certain time and then go well over that time frame. I sat down with Heather and she was super honest and informational about the color I had chose. She explained it might be clear and not a great color. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for and she immediately had a color in mind that was very similar and solid. Heather explained that the nail polish brands send sample nail colors but paint them on a white background rather than clear, so a lot of times the color in the sample isn't going to be the color that appears on your nail. I never knew that and thought it was so amazing she was honest about it! We had great conversation and she listened to how I wanted my nails shaped. I asked her opinion on different shapes and she gave me her two cents which I appreciated because I always second guess myself. From start to finish Heather paid great attention to detail on my nails. Not to mention it was completely affordable and not ridiculously over priced like some salons. I'll definitely be coming back for more with Heather! **This photo was taken a week later and you can see how great they still look! They still feel sturdy and have kept that square shape. read more

I'm here for vacation from my job in Seoul and wanted to keep up my manicures; I was also interested in dipping powder as my nails are thin and somewhat damaged from regular gel manicures so gel can be painful while curing. I came with my sister who got gel over her acrylics. While choosing the powder color Christine was helpful answering my questions and after I told her I don't like to see through polish to my natural nail she took extra care to apply the powder opaquely. This required an extra layer so she also very carefully shaped the nails after applying the powder. Overall with removal of my old gel + dipping powder on my natural nails the total came to $32 which seems amazing for the amount of labor I received. I'll definitely back before leaving for Seoul again! Thanks, Christine! read more

Heather is probably my favorite nail lady I have ever had. She is very gentle with your real nails and doesn't damage them. I told her my plans of wanting to eventually use my real nails but my real nails are very brittle, they've always been that way. She introduced me to the dipping powder. I did tips until my real nail grew out and then took them off and I'm now doing dipping powder. They have a wide selection of colors for dipping powder. Plus dipping powder is a healthier option for your nails because the color is in the powder and if you like gel because there is no drying time, then dipping powder is for you. The dipping powder is about the same strength as acrylic. They are pretty busy at this salon because it's worth it. I know everyone there is super nice and they all know what they're doing, I just really like Heather. Just an FYI. For dipping powder you can use tips for length and use the powder over. Please give them a chance, I promise you won't regret it. read more

Great experience! My nail techs were gentle, took their time (even though it was the end of the day!), and didn't push me for upgrades. I liked that I faced the wall of colors (opposed to a wall of customers also seated in massage chairs), and there wasn't a strong acetone smell like most nail places (being pregnant that is much appreciated!). read more

This is the first spa I've been to that doesn't offer a full set acrylic nails…read more Instead they said they only offered Gel X. I had never tried it before. It cost $65 for what turned out to be high end press on nail. The technician said it would last 3-4 weeks. It has only been a week and my nail has already cracked in half. I could have just bought press on nails from the drug store and did them at home if I wanted that kind of quality. It will be the last time I ever a Gel X service done. And since this salon does not offer acrylic sets I will not be back here. I should say they are a nice staff and although the Gel X product was disappointing they have a skillful hand when it comes to a French tip! The atmosphere is relaxing and they keep it fairly quiet.

I had a feeling and I told Wendy and she made sure my nails were perfect for photos. I get builder gel to add strength to my natural nails and they've never chipped on me. They've always held up for 3-4 weeks and I only come in once a month to see Wendy or Jay if Wendy is out of town. My pedicures have always been great as well. They've always been with a sweet lady and I always forget her name when I see her. I honestly have had a bad experience with other techs who have done my builder gel at this location. I've messaged the owner directly and there wasn't accountability taken with the tech or further communication on the situation which was a little disappointing but I understand it's just business after all. However, I haven't let my bad experience deter me from Wendy or Jay. I've had great experiences with both and will continue to see Wendy for my builder gel.

I came in with manners, super excited to get my nails done in a new place. They tell me to go sit down and pick a color. I show them a picture of what I want and tell me "YOU GOTTA PICK IT" "WHICH ONE YOU WANT" 2. The lady that was working on my hands, kept going back and forth with people!! - did not see her wash her hands once, in between these people . 3. I was there for almost 3 HOURS. For a simple gel manicure & regular pedicure 4. Instead of taking off my gel the proper way, with the acetone and aluminum, they filed it with the machine, making my nails SOOOO WEAK. When I had been working on my nail growth, now I have to be so careful cause they're so weak. I was trying to keep my patience and manners the whole way through. They still came out presentable, but regardless, customer service wasn't it & the quality is so not there. Please look elsewhere, The vibe gives classic nail salon, very back in the day lol The reason they get 2 stars, is for accepting Venmo & cause maybe they did try, but definitely not worth it and so unhygienic.

I also loved how they always decorate the salon so nicely for holidays (this time it was Easter). Polish Avenue will always be my go to place, and it should be yours if you're looking for something clean with professional technicians, kind staff, and a wide selection of colors!!

This salon is a perfect 10/10--the only place I will ever go…read more From the moment you walk in, everything is flawless. It's consistently clean, welcoming, and has the most relaxing, elevated vibe. You can tell they care about every detail, and it shows in both the space and the experience. I'm extremely picky and expect perfection, and somehow they exceed my standards every single time. Every single staff member is talented, you truly can't go wrong no matter who you book with. And the prices are very fair for the level of quality and care you receive, which makes it even better. That said, Bee is on another level. She is absolutely exceptional at acrylic, hard gel, and Gel-X. My nails come out perfect every single time--her precision, consistency, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she's incredibly kind and makes every appointment something I actually look forward to. (And she rescues cats, which somehow makes her even more amazing.) Lisa is also great and delivers when Bee isn't there!! If you want flawless nails and a salon you can completely trust, this is it. I wouldn't go anywhere else--ever. Ask for Bee. You will not be disappointed.

It was my first time here and I'm so happy I chose to give this place a chance.

I would confidently recommend this to anyone who's looking to try or switch to a new salon.

OK - this is NOT your pretty little salon with relaxing decor and sumptuous little massage chairs. This is not your high-end hang out. This is simply the best place to go if you want acrylic nails that LOOK GREAT and STAY ON and DON'T GET INFECTED and are inexpensive. Let's face it. No one sees the salon where you go to get your nails done, but they do see your hands. Pretty much all the time, every day, whatever you do (unless you are channeling your inner Jackie-O and run around town in gloves) so what your nails look like is a big deal. This is why I've had Sunny do my nails since he opened in 1994. That's kinda a LOOOOOONG time, isn't it? But that's what qualifies me to write this review. read more

I have been a customer of Sonny and Dana's since 1995, and recently moved to L.A. county. I have YET to find a salon that does acrylics as well as they did. I miss them so much! If you are looking for a clean and professional salon in O.C. that will give you beautiful and long-lasting nails, Nail Chateau is the place. read more

Terrible experience! The products are overpriced for the quality you get--materials feel cheap and flimsy. Customer service was frustrating, with rude and unprofessional staff who seemed uninterested in helping. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for value or decent customer service. read more
