Nail salon 21 Reviews in Santa Ana, CA

Nicole Rivera Done exactly how I wanted to match on my phone they are great will come back for sure

Nancy Castro I got a repair done for my nails she was sloppy and fast I will not be letting her do my repairs and told her multiple times that I has to match VERY SLOPPY she is seated at the left side I’m the corner

sylvia herrera Wendy was the lady that helped me she was amazing... Very experienced she has 25 years in the business I showed he my idea and she said she could make it happen came out even better then I thought

Katherine Angel I went in and over the phone she charged me $50 for long square acrylics. I sat down and showed her the basic French tips and then said $60 and I was fine with it. When I was done the colors were totally off and my nails were not square at all they were very round and not shaped at all and she claimed they were square. Horrible place to go if wanting a pretty and clean set of acrylic nails. Very sloppy work and look like they were done at home.

Steven Gonzalez Super good. Great foot massage for free. $15 dollars for spa pedi. Very nice workers. Was instantly helped. No wait.

rochelle Whelchel Service was fast they did my nails and feet at the same time. I usually pay $100 for both home in MD.but here I only paid $65 very nice if I’m ever back in OC I’ll come back.

Karen Owens They are ALWAYS friendly and professional, and there are lots of nail technicians that work there so I have never had to wait. TIP: if you want perfect nails done FAST, ask for Tina, she is amazing!

Jessica Arevalo Very disappointed. Got my my nails done Saturday. Lady in the front row far right. Everything about them is terrible. I brought all my siblings to get pedicures & the service was so plain. 4 pedicures 2 acrylic total $148. You have lost a customer. This work does not look like someone whos been doing this for 20yrs. They are embracing.

Diem Truong I came to take off my dipping nails. The lady didn’t even soak my nails but cut them off and used a fake nail to flip them off my real nails. Omfg it was hurting so bad, although i told her, she kept on doing that. And the manicure was so terrible, she made me bleed on 5 of my fingers, she literally cut some meat out of me. The nails were uneven cuz some powder is still on them so she couldn’t even polish them. She told me to let her use the nail grinder to take them off but I refused because it was hurting so bad. I ended up not letting her polish my nails anymore. Definitely not coming back and warn my friends and family not to go there also. **the tools are dirty and she dropped some of them on the floor, didn’t even wash but use them right away, yuck!

Jessica Antunez This is my second time doing my nails here and it’s amazing how they come out and the price is very reasonable he does an amazing job I don’t know his name but I’ll ask :) very Satisfied

guadalupecancinos I recommend this place 100% Tracy take her time to do a great job. I was getting a pedicure when another customer came in. Tracy didn’t rush and asked the customer nicely if she can wait and she did wait for 20 minutes. Thank you Tracy for always giving your clients the time needed for a great job.

Melanie Hernandez Hi everyone! As we know finding a good place where to get our nails done is difficult . If your looking to be taken care of here forget it! The nail work looks nice but it’s painful! The woman cut me. I was bleeding! Not to mention they need more workers there. I was a walk in and well of course it was going to take awhile. I give this place two stars because I got injured here. I paid for nice nail work and an injury for $47 dollars. I don’t care if they can do nice nails it’s not worth my safety.

Navida Ahmed Came here last Friday for a gel mani/Pedi and my total was $85. Brought my cousin this last Thursday, and they charged her $109 for a gel mani/Pedi because she added glitter on top. Never was it communicated that the glitter would be extra. The owner or host, is VERY pushy, kept asking us if we wanted wax services and made comments saying that "this is what women should do", very distasteful. After my cousin finished her nails, they asked how much she wanted to tip (we thought the service was okay so we said $10 total) the receptionist then tried to tell my cousin her total was $150 (which meant a $40 tip), we didnt swipe our card, and corrected her and said "no we mean $10 total". She seemed hesitant to change the total. Overall, my experience was good when I went during the day on Friday, but our Thursday night experience was just bad. Dont think we will come back

Marcella Saca This was my first mani-pedi after my baby is born. I always get the best experience with these ladies, but when I told them, they were above and beyond they normally go. So much needed it, and my nails were perfect, clean and neat!

Maria Rojas As much I used to love coming here, my most recent visit was so disappointing. My friend and I came in got a full set done. Upon arrival we were both asked if we had a design or idea of how we wanted our nails. We both provided our ideas. The two nail techs looked flustered and annoyed that my friend and I wanted designs. She wanted a mummy and I wanted spider webs. My tech started on my nails and right away noticed that she was annoyed. I noticed a lot of my nails were looking very lumpy and I let my tech know and she just said okay. She attempted to fix them but was more concern about time. Mind you, my friend and I had an appointment and even arrived 30mins prior just in case. Once she was done and attempted to do the spider web design she became more and more frustrated. I understand that not all places can do nail designs, but please work with your costumers, instead of doing a half job. After that whole thing, I was charged $60 for my nails. The nail tech mentioned about 4 times as we were paying, don’t forget to tip. This is my last time coming here after recommending this place to many people. They have also have had the same experience lately. Please see the attached photos of my under nails and how there is product that was not filed down and how my pinky nail looks crooked. Plus the original design that was wanted.

Maria Garcia If you want your nails to look like a 5-year-old did them, come to This Is Nail Place! I had an absolutely horrible experience here. From the moment the nail tech started, I could tell things were going south fast. I politely mentioned midway through that my nails were coming out uneven, streaky, and just plain awful. Instead of fixing them, she shrugged it off like I was overreacting and continued on with her sloppy work. By the time she finished, my nails looked like a complete mess—lumpy, uneven, and something I wouldnt be caught dead with in public. But heres the kicker: she still had the audacity to charge me full price! No apology, no attempt to make it right. Just a terrible job and an empty wallet. If you value your money and want nails that actually look professionally done, stay far away from this place. Its a joke of a salon, and they clearly dont care about customer satisfaction. Dont waste your time or your money here!

Spark 1 Good customer service

Evelyn Gonzalez I went to get my nails done with the dip powder and it completely messed up my nails. First, the lady drilled my nails way too much to the point that they felt brittle, weak and a little bit painful. She also took off too much skin around my nails. Two days after being done, I noticed that the powder already started to lift from my nail bed. By the end of the week I had to go to another salon to get them taken off. Its been about a month and my nails still feel very weak and thin. They can easily be bent. I have to keep them short now so I dont accidentally hit them on something. The lady who did my nails was very sweet but messed them up bad. I spent about $60 on nails that didnt last a week. I will never come here again. Id rather drive 20 minutes to Fullerton to get them done by a trusted salon.

Kimberly Van Ive been going to the 90s Nail Bar regularly since they opened and they never disappoint! My go-to nail techs are Amy and Tammy. They both have shape, color, design down to perfection and I always leave here completely satisfied. Its easy to book at appointment and their walk-ins are not too much of a wait. Clean salon and they offer snacks and drinks each time. I was going for a clean and simple off-white look and Amy nailed it. I am so happy. Thank you Amy!

Goldie Malamud I have been seeing Amy for my gelx & builder gel for several years now. She is extremely skilled & takes her time to make sure my nails are perfect. I know I can always count on her to do an amazing job. This salon is definitely a hidden gem with great customer service.

Kylie Adams Can’t say enough good things about this place! They always do a phenomenal job! I’ve tried going to other places and for the price, they didn’t pay attention to detail and I always had a bad experience. This place is amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience. I mean look at these nails, they are amazing!

Raquel Avila I loved my nails did them back in June 10. Hannah was my nail tech and she did wonderfully on them. She knew I didn’t really like to talk so she just asked questions here and there to make sure I get the nails I wanted. I really enjoyed the service here! And ended up with the best nails I could ask for. They lasted me for 3 weeks which usually in other places last me for 2 weeks max. The only thing is I don’t like when someone else who isn’t doing my nails changes the price when the nail tech gives me a price. She should have consulted my nail tech before the lady (I believe the one who schedules the appointments) tells me another price. But other than that I loved my nails and will start asking for Hannah. I had gotten glitter French gel-x nail extensions for (originally) 72 but ended up paying (because of the other girl) 82 which is kinda pricy for glittery FRENCH nails since it’s such a simple design.

Laura Rosete This review is for Kim. I once got your nails done by you PROFESSIONALLY. Just how I like them, pink and white acrylic, not pink acrylic with white tip and crystal acrylic on top! She was very nice and did a great job. Until next time!

Susana M.B. The owner did my nails .... Took her an hour, but she didnt talk to me at all. She spent the whole time with an ear piece talking on the phone to someone. I used to go here all the time .... No longer though

N Riat Its a okay salon. Not that great as everyone makes it. I went there because I saw a great deal on Groupon and tried them out. It was a gel manicure and spa pedicure. The pedicure and manicure were pretty basic nothing over the top. In 2 days my thumb nail chipped and now on the 4th day my finger gas chipped, this is GEL manicure?!?!?! Isnt gel manicure not supposed to chip for at least 2 weeks???????

KIMMI This place should be shut down! Its filthy. A nail tech that worked on me was absolutely a sloppy mess. They use cheap product too.

Rebecca Woods My daughters wanted to go here negate they have good reviews. They were told that they did not have time to service them. At the time (around 2p)theyre was maybe 3 people inside and they closed at 7p. I would give them a zero if I could because we understand perfectly well why they did not have time.

crystal chavez My aunt and i came here , they have pedicure posted for $23.00. They actually charged us $28 because they charge $5 more for (calus removal) ...i get pedis done regularly and this is part of the pedicure #1 , #2 i dont have a xalus worth $5 bucks to remove lol Mind you she didnt use the metal scraper just the square calus foot stone . I am disapppinted in the sneaky charges. Beware and other than that polite people.

Michelle Zander The most beautiful job. Tom and his staff are beautiful souls. My Battery died on my car not only did he jump start me him and another lady that worked there but then my car ran out of gas and he gave me a ride to the gas station. Pumped my gas, waited with me and then drove me back to salon to jump it again. They deserve a metal. Oh and wouldnt except a dollar from me!

Elizabeth Acosta Beautiful color for toe nails. Not a lot of interaction with the employees. It’s almost hidden.

Valerie Savla They charge $7 to remove gel nail polish. Service wasn’t great at all.

Mari I am the type of person who has anxiety when i go to get my nails done because so many nail professionals dont pay attention that my nails are all the same length and width. I came to Tina and she did an amazing job. I felt like i could relax and didnt feel bad to tell her how i really liked my nails. She is very patient and always does my nails just the way i like them. Thank you Tina! 40 min drive is definitely worth it . I highly recommend Tina if you like getting a full set .

Elizabeth Solis I’m very upset about my first time service here while getting my manicure and pedicure. The tall old lady was rude and cut both of my big toes. She saw the blood and ignored it until my second toe was also bleeding. She also cut both pinkies and middle fingers. She also messed up the chrome I wanted and still had the audacity to ask for a tip and even got bothered when I said no. NO, THANK YOU! DEFINITELY GO SOMEWHERE ELES! (If I could give 0 stars I would)

Olga Kuzenna Great service, VERY reasonable prices. The building needs an updo, but the staff and services make up for shaby looks. Very happy with my gel nails.

E Loved this place very friendly great prices. My husband and I got a mani and pedi and he was impressed with the service. Def we will be coming back.

s Cherry did my nails today. These are pictures from today the same day that she did them. I paid $70 for this. $60 plus a $10 tip. Im livid. And I see why they only accept cash because otherwise Id be charging them back for this. Updated to include two pictures from the third day after I got this done. So embarrassingly bad and awful and the manager told me that Cherry is the best nail tech there? Yikes yikes yikes. BEWARE

Jazmine Gonzalez I love this place I found them years ago every time I’ve came here they have never disappointed me I love the customer service everyone is so kind here I specifically always do my nails with Haiti she does and amazing job . Thank you guys for the great service always !

Jayna Jones I am thrilled with my nails from here. My technician was Hannah and she was so thorough and precise. She did a great job. This was my first time here, but I will definitely return to see Hannah, and I really appreciate the 5 day warranty card they give you for peace of mind.

daisy My mom has gone to this nail salon for years now and now I see why!!! Ive always been nervous to get a manicure due to the fact I bite my nails constantly but it was such an amazing experience! Mindy was the nail tech that did my manicure and I couldnt have been happier! She matched my nails to my personality so well! The way she got super excited to do my nails made me extremely happy to see! She was so funny and nice every single time she showed me every step of the nail process until we got the final results! 10/10 highly recommend coming here!

Briseyda Padilla I will no longer be coming here. I don’t know what is going on but they are clearly not sanitary with their nail tools. I took my nails off yesterday and literally have fungus in three different finger nails, which is disgusting. I do not recommend coming here, they do not prioritize being clean and sanitary for their customers and their business. Very disappointed.

Yazmine Arteaga My nails are beautiful even-though my thumb looks like it’s been a week since I got them done but in reality it’s been only one day my pedi is horrible they forgot to finish an since it was late I didn’t notice until this morning! So disappointed

Genesis A Flores Ive been coming here for about 6 weeks but recently their service has gone down so much. I’ve been coming in every two weeks for gel and manicure and they have literally destroyed my nails. I always tell them to not file my nails so much because i have thin nails and they don’t listen and file them regardless leaving my nails very thin. My gel is always smeared and typically only lasts for about 5 days. Not to mention they don’t properly clean ur cuticles. While i was getting my nails done the manicurists kept insisting i get my eyebrows done even though I had told her several times that I was unable to she kept insisting and was extremely loud at at telling me that my eyebrows could be thinner. If you want to get your monies worth I recommend not coming here and go somewhere will they will not only do and take care of your nails properly but also not publicly shame you for your appearance infront of others.

Karina R i like how they leave my nails looking very clean and not too thick like other places i’ve been to. i go there with Diane or Trish.

kaylyn I got my nails at fancy nails and hair in Sana ana I asked for acrylic nails with color black and red and the symbols of playing cards ♣️♠️♦️♥️ it was not sanitary and she used another nail file on somebody else before me I dont recommend going to fancy nails and hair in 1103 S Harbor Blvd suite c, Santa Ana, CA 92704

Emmy Wong Ive been going here for years, Lisa is great, she always takes great care of me. Shes very friendly and so are the other workers. Prices are very reasonable and affordable, thats why I always come back. Granted I come about once a year though as my hair grows very slow, but Lisa is very consistent.

Teresa Lozano Very friendly staff...Tom and Cindy are great. I always go to them to have my hair colored and cut. Very professional staff and everybody there is so nice.

Nancy Self Jenny does a beautiful free hand design for my pedicure. Very pretty! Vivian gave me the best long hair up hairdo ever! Reasonable pricing.

tjlee777 Tom has been a nice and wonderful job as my barber for over 20 years. I do not hesitate to travel for 2 hours driving to have his service. His associates are also kind and wonderful beauticians. They are the best!

Julie C Tom is great at what he does, My Mother recommended my sisters and I and now he is the only person I go to. His prices are fair and reasonable and I love that they also have a nail station there.

Rachel Gajardo Ashley always does a great job with my nails. Shes very busy and in demand because of this, so its best to call in advance for an appointment or you might have to wait a bit. Theyre also cash only, so make sure to bring cash with you for your appointment. The nails are inexpensive for the level and quality of service that you get. My acrylics are always well done, even, and she does them pretty fast. Highly recommend!!

Elia My sister and her bestfriend recommended me to Ashley. I take any picture I see to Ashley and she does exactly what I asked for. She takes her time so be patient. She does an amazing job! Also, my pedicures always come out nice :)

mia conley This place is the best salon i’ve ever been to! It’s not super expensive and Ashley did an amazing job on my nails, she was accommodating, very kind, and she didn’t rush she took her time to make sure the job was done right and my nails came out perfect!

priscilla valdivia I’ve been going to D Nail Story for 3 years. I’ve never left dissatisfied. He has attention to detail, friendly and creative. He offers a beverage during your visit. He also offers membership for clients who come in often. I would recommend Dom for any style, shape, design, length. He can do it all!

Millan Cristina (Elicious) Me and my son went to get a pedicure for my birthday. It cheaper if you pay cash. 5% I am definitely happy with my soft feet and hands!! Definitely recommend:

amy wu Took my walk-in UV gel manicure and was very thorough about how I wanted the design. Nails turned out super cute and affordable. Coming from NYC, I thought nails would be a lot more expensive out here…

Cata J. I went to get a pedicure for my daughters wedding. They give the best massages on my legs, ankles and feet. They take their time with you. I showed Anne a picture what I wanted and it was spot on. I find them a little bit pricey because they charge you for every little thing. But overall I was happy with the experience and would definitely go back again

Jamie Ashford First time visit. My sister has been going her for a long time now. She got my a gift card and when I went in today I was very impressed. The entire staff welcomed us when we walked in and they are all very friendly. Im very impressed with how my nails came out and I will be returning forsure. Thank you!

Delia Aponte I went yesterday for a pedicure and had the worst experience. The lady who did my feet was so aggressive and made my toes bleed. I told her many times she is hurting me, and she slowed down and then started being aggressive again. If you want to get a good pedicure and be relaxed don’t come here. You will leave in pain and bloody toes.

T SYN (Syn T) All the staff were polite except the guy in the front. I didnt interact with him but I heard him being rude to people. The nails are oddly shaped and crooked. I did like that they started working on my hands right away. 27 for a full set of short ballerina and 15 for my 3d design.

Emily Ramirez Horrible job. The older lady that has glasses did my toe nails and cut way too much on the side of my toe nail and put some powder on it and now I have an infection due to the cut. She also cut above my cuticle on two other toes. That lady is probably too old to be working cutting nails because it is dangerous to be getting infections due to her cutting too much.

Raehann Bryce-Davis I just got a fabulous pedicure and a pretty trash manicure so I give 3 1/2 stars to average the FIVE STAR pedicure and the 2 star manicure. At the beginning, the woman who did the manicure kept hurting me by cutting my nails down too low, unapologetic when I whinced in pain, and the end result left an uneven finish with nail polish all around my nails on the skin. It was actually worse, with slanted nails but I asked the wonderful woman who did the pedicure to file them evenly after the manicurist left. So... COME FOR PEDICURES, skip the manicure.

Raynah Robles I am overall satisfied with the powder dip nails I received but not so excited about the pedicure. I literally didnt even want a pedicure done to begin with. But somehow I found myself getting one anyway. The woman doing them kept adding serviced that I didnt ask for. When I reluctantly agreed to have my toenails cut down and repainted, I ended up getting the full pedicure experience. She was sure to keep asking me if I wanted gel nail polish. I had already said no, just a regular nude color would be fine but she insisted on doing gel anyway. To top it off she insisted on adding a "French tip" that I had already declined several times just so she could tack on an additional $8 for an extremely thin white line that is hardly noticeable. I only expected to pay about 30 for my toes but ended up paying 48. The same happened with my nails. I simply wanted an acrylic set with a nude color but the lady insisted on powder and only let me know it would be 55 after she already began applying it. The sign on the window says 22 for a full set. I definitely didnt expect to pay 55 for my nails today. I walked out the door with a $103 bill. I like my nails but my toe nails are not even cut even at all so I dont like them. Anyway, it was an OK experience. Just way too expensive for the quality I received.

Jenny Montano I love this place! Every time I show them a picture of what nails I want, they execute so nicely. They’re always so nice and attentive.

joana cordero Went in was super busy, just came in for a fill of powder hurt when she was using the drill going super fast which I get but was hurting didnt get the exact color I wanted wanted a darker color but had cuts on some on my finger and when I was gonna tell her to fix the shape was in a hurry to just finish there were people waiting. My finger finally stopped hurting after 2 days

Crystal Jackson The lady that did my pedicure cut me with the drill and dugout the side of my toenail as if I had an ingrown causing me to bleed. When I said something she acted like she didnt understand. Then she put sooooo much acrylic on my big toe. I had to repeatedly tell her to thin it out and cut it down because I wear close toe shoes for work. I was very disappointed in this place. I will never go back.

La MAMÁ PANDA Ok, I’ve been a customer for years and honestly I come because it’s budget friendly however… got a bone to pick with this place. First off, if you take your kids (two daughters) make sure you tell them, and retell them, and then tell them again that the kids cannot add in designs without your consent. They will take ADVANTAGE and try to upscale the service at every minute Making the experience NOT RELAXING but sort of defensive. So please know that. Overall the do an ok job but honestly their customer service needs so much improvement.

Laura Carmona Yesterday (Mar. 23, 2024), my legally blind mom went into this location to get a manicure. The nail tech, Natalie first detoured my mom from getting nail extensions and was impatient when my mom was trying to pick a color; then she tried doing a bait and switch on dip color because they ran out of the color my mom wanted; and after my mom paid and tipped she left my mom stranded at the far end of the salon. Initially the manager helped my mom find this station. So when my mom called Natalie for help and as Natalie was “helping” my mom find her way to the front, Natalie yelled at mom my mom for touching her arm. My mom explained all of this to the manager who apologized and who assisted my mom to her car. My mom has been at this location one other time and thought she could handle the layout by herself. She is never afraid to ask for help. The way Natalie treated her was unbelievable. Mom also complained that Natalie was rough with her as she was receiving her services and seemed to be trying to rush my mom so that she could attend to other clients. My mom is very friendly, talkative, and sweet; she deserved better. No one in my family will ever get services from Nail Center and Spa again.

Wana Mata This was my first time at Studio Nails Salon, and I think it can be a good place to get your nails done. However, both the staff that worked on me lacked attention to details. Even after I realized that my nails were not fully painted in some areas, particularly the corners, they did not cover them with nail polish. When I asked the lady who was working on me to fix it, all she did was quickly file my nails and rush me out of the chair. This place could definitely use some improvements in customer care service.

E Coco I think is her name very rude and doesn’t do a good job on pedicures she was on a call on AirPods the whole time. Scrubs one foot and not the other keeps checking the timer while giving massage just disappointing all around. New manager doesn’t know what she is doing. Will definitely miss Hilton. He was always so welcoming. Gotta find a new place to go to now.

Roya M Highly recommended. Lyn did a great job on my nails. They look natural, chic and classy

Beatriz Jaimes Rose did my nails very ugly. She made them very short. I asked for gel x and a round shape and made them very oval which did not look good. She also did not glue the nail all the way down so they are all sticking up I then asked for French tip and did not know how to shape the French tip she just outlined the tip of the nail. I then asked her to fix it, which she did but started speaking her language and her coworks joined in and started looking. I paid alot for ugly nails.
