Hannah was meticulous, gentle, and clearly very skilled. She always checked in to see if I was in any pain. The front desk staff was also incredibly accommodating, making sure I was comfortable throughout and even adjusting my arm positioning on the cushions. On top of that, their pricing is much more reasonable compared to other salons in OC. I am so glad I found this place and will definitely be coming back.

Manicure - I ended up getting a pink jelly gel nail and am really happy with the results! I showed a reference photo and the nail tech was able to help me pick out a color. Pedicure - For my pedicure I had a mixed experience. I wanted to go with a pink polish on my toes, however, I was asked if I wanted gel instead of polish 3 separate times because "polish will chip in 2 days". She also asked me which color I wanted on my toes 3 separate times even though I had picked my color already, and then ended up selecting a color for me. I'm happy with the overall results of the pedicure but the process itself was a bit stressful. Payment - I paid with card and tipped cash and was told "next time pay with cash". Overall, I was happy with the end results and the speed and availability, but there are some things service-wise that could be improved upon.

Since moving to Costa Mesa, my boyfriend actually found this place for us both to go for a mani/pedi! I've been back myself multiple times because their staff is amazing, and the quality of their services is unmatched. Today- Henry did the BEST set I have EVER had! I was nervous at first because the set I picked was pretty complicated, but he didn't even hesitate to tell me he could do it and helped me pick out all the colors. He worked so quickly and seamlessly. I'm still in shock at how much I love them and how AMAZING his skill set is!!! I'm going to Coachella this weekend and Henry gave me the set of my DREAMS! Highly highly recommend this salon over others in the area! Henry- I will be back and THANK YOU so much! You are so talented

Firstly, my nails were short but she filed them down so short and uneven, she didn't clean up my cuticles thoroughly, the polish looks horrible (you can see streak marks), and to top it off their prices are so expensive- and they expect a tip on top of this? I only came here because my typical nail spot is closed for renovations, but I definitely won't be back.

I asked to get my cuticles to get taken care of, when I called to book the appointment and again when I sat down with the nail tech. I asked for this because I know if the cuticles are not taken care of you'll need a fill much sooner and it doesn't look at good. Then with the nail art simple French tip. The thickness of the lines between nails and hands was off. I shouldn't have to highlight that, there should be enough pride taken in the work being done for things to be done well. I shouldn't have to be put in the position to tell you the quality is lacking when it's your specialty. So I left with well it just is what it is nails. Completely disappointed lowered it to one star because there's nothing like getting a set of nails done that looks like you already need another fill

That said, I came in specifically for an organic manicure but ended up leaving with a regular dip/gel service. While my nails initially looked great, by day 10 they were already chipping and lifting, which isn't typical for dip or gel. I reached out to see if they could help resolve it, but was told they wouldn't redo the service without charging again. That was disappointing, especially given the short wear time. It's a cute spot with a great concept, but if long-lasting results are important to you, that's something to keep in mind before booking an appointment here.

Perfect color for fall!

Lady did a great job! Thank you

Why would I come in for a gel man and ped and want two different vibes? That makes no sense- then the front desk girl is giving me a dirty look paired with a dirt attitude and poor quality customer service. I have given them several tries now- both times the manicurist cut me. This time she filed my nail bed so thin the middle of my nail started BLEEDING. Frosting on the cake is the $100+ bill for mismatched, cut up nails, and crap customer service. Thanks for all that.

Next level. The space is now absolutely stunning: clean, modern, and so thoughtfully designed that you instantly feel relaxed the second you walk in. What I appreciate most is that while the look has elevated, the heart of the place is still there. The team is just as warm, attentive, and detail-obsessed as ever, including my long-time fave, Nancy, and my new go-to pedi pal, Hana. Every service feels intentional, unrushed, and genuinely high quality, while the consistency is unmatched. It's rare to see a place evolve like this without losing what made it special in the first place, but they nailed it (pun fully intended). If you've been before, you'll be blown away. And if you haven't yet... trust me, you're missing out. Safe to say, I'm not going anywhere

I actually work across the street but live about 20 minutes away (on a good traffic day!), and this salon is absolutely worth it every single time.

The service here is truly exceptional. Every visit, I'm greeted with kindness and treated so well by the staff. Their pedicure options range from a basic pedicure to an ultra-luxurious gold pedicure, and I've been impressed every time no matter which one I choose. If you're looking for a nail spa that consistently delivers great service, high-quality treatments, and a wonderful experience, I highly recommend coming here. You won't be disappointed.
