Georgia Halkia This place is a hit or miss, depending on who is doing your nails. I got a fair job many times here, but I never wrote a review. I do not do my nails often, and usually, I get the basic package, which is not cheap! This time, I went in with a gift certificate worth $100. I had a very special event, so I asked for an experienced technician with gel manicures. To make a long story short, the gel manicure was thick and uneven, and the pedicure was a total mess. I had to ask the lady twice to clean the red polish from my cuticles. There was a dollop of polish on my ring finger, and I did not say anything to see if she would correct it before applying the final coat, and she just left it there. When I said something, she seemed unhappy, and she started to speak Vietnamese to her friend, who was doing my toes.
All in all, I dont recommend this place. When you make over $100 with the tip in an hour, be decent enough to provide a service that is worth the cost! Unacceptable.
Update: I visited the salon yesterday because I had a last-minute event, and I was able to get in fast. The technician ruined my nails and added thick coats of nail polish to finish fast. One day later, it is coming off. I am done with this place!

C Padilla I recently visited this nail salon, and while the service and atmosphere were decent, I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of their tools. Its essential for a nail salon to maintain a high standard of hygiene, and I felt that this aspect was lacking. I hope they can improve their tool cleaning procedures in the future.

Baro Bax Ive been a loyal customer of Happy Nail at Barranca Irvine CA for 4 years and have generally had positive experiences. The salon is clean, welcoming, and the owner, , is always warm and professional. Ive particularly enjoyed my pedicures and manicure, which are consistently well done, and the technicians are friendly and attentive.
However, my recent visit for a manicure was quite disappointing due to the behavior of one of the nail technicians (Bet-I might heard her name wrong). She was incredibly rude and unprofessional regarding the tip I provided. Her reaction was uncomfortable and made me feel unwelcome, which is surprising given the otherwise excellent service Ive experienced at this salon.
Despite this incident, I want to emphasize that the overall atmosphere and service quality at this location are usually top-notch. The other staff members and the owner make sure that customers leave satisfied.
I hope the management addresses this issue so that all clients can continue to enjoy their visits without any negativity.

Rajvee Patel This place is an absolute scam. I called to ask how much they charge for a simple pedicure and the lady lied to me and said it was $35. Then, when I get to the salon, I ask for a pamphlet of all their services and they rush me to my seat and I have to ask again for the pamphlet only to find out that the service is actually $30. The lady doing my pedicure tried acting like she was doing me a favor by "giving me a $5 discount" and "including a 5 minute massage" (even though that was supposed to be a part of the service). These people are very sly and use business tactics to make you feel like youre special, meanwhile theyre literally doing the bare minimum (and you can see right through their facade). Dont even get me started on my actual nails. Horrible job. She literally placed A DOT of paint on one of my toes and you could still see the entire nail on the sides. Terrible place. Dont go. Save your money.
