    My first time here and I think I've found my forever spot!! I rarely get my nails done and wanted to try Gel X for the first time and I'm so glad I came here. I did a walk in on a Monday and told me the wait would be 45 minutes because they had an appointment scheduled and there was only one nail tech. Turns out the wait was actually an hour and 15 minutes but they made up for it with the service + $5 off for the inconvenience at the end. Sandy was my nail tech and she took her time with my nails making sure I liked the shape, (I'm very picky) the color, design, etc. I ended up staying after closing and didn't feel like she was trying to rush or anything. I've had them on for more than a week now and they are still in perfect condition. It cost about $100 so def on the pricier side but I don't mind paying for great nail care and plus you get a cute goodie bag at the end!

    Esther ate!! She is so meticulous, I really appreciated her attention to detail. I am graduating on Friday and wanted black and pearls to match my outfit. It came out perfect!! I highly recommend this place! She didn't speak English but another staff helped translate whenever necessary. Also the parking lot is tiny so limited parking depending on what time you go. I will be back for sure ^^

    Stopped in today for the first time. Lucy helped me. A basic pedicure is $34 which is pretty average. The deluxe was $46 which I found a little pricey. Lucy did an amazing job. I didn't like the color I chose so she changed it. The salon was clean and everyone was very nice. The Hawaiian decor is fun. I'll definitely be back.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Had the best experience at Aloha Nail Spa! They're new and don't have many stations yet, but I'm sure they'll be busy very soon because everything was wonderful. The space is cozy and comfortable, the manicure stations are set up perfectly, and Sandy is such a perfectionist -- which I really appreciate! I also got a cute Appreciation Gift' with cuticle oil and hand lotion, that little touch was so nice! Thank you so much for the amazing experience!

    Aloha Nail Spa is a new studio, across the street from Cafe Rio (near Aldi). There's some easy parking available in the plaza or on the street within a 1 minute walk. I booked a same-day gel pedi on Vagaro. They have a great polish selection, super clean space, & they use bowl liners (a huge plus for me). The staff were welcoming & my tech was quick, careful & did a beautiful cat-eye color. Very fair & reasonable prices, especially for the quality. Plus, they provided me w/ a mini nail care kit + stamp card at the end. Definitely my new go-to spot for pedis!

    I booked a last minute appointment and they were still able to accommodate me without any issues. The service was prompt, professional, and exactly what I needed. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I really appreciated how efficiently they handled my request on such short notice. Thank you for delivering great service. I would definitely recommend them to others! Love the vibes of the nail salon too

    Regular polish manicure

    Best new nail salon in Tustin! The salon is very clean and well organized. I received a regular polish manicure and was pleased with the results. The technician was highly skilled and did my nails quickly. I would highly recommend for anyone willing to pay a little extra for excellent service and beautiful nails. They even gifted a complimentary nail kit for their store opening. I will definitely be back.

    Price cost... ridiculous, for gems on one finger 25 dollars.

    I had the opportunity to speak with the owner, Sarah, following my initial Yelp review, and I want to acknowledge that she approached the situation with professionalism and a genuine effort to resolve it. She took the time to listen, began correcting misleading pricing online, and addressed how services and add-ons should be more clearly communicated moving forward. That level of accountability was appreciated. Unfortunately, my follow-up experience did not reflect the same standard. When I returned to collect my refund, I was assisted by Camille, who initially offered an apology--which I appreciated. However, it was quickly followed by explanations that minimized the behavior rather than simply taking accountability. An apology tends to lose its value when it is immediately reframed. For context, I came in after working a 17.5-hour shift while fasting, hoping for a straightforward and efficient service so I could break my fast. I understand that everyone has long days, but professionalism--especially in customer-facing roles--is not situational. What became more concerning was the repeated pressure to update my Yelp review after receiving a refund. I was contacted multiple times, including during Eid and New Year's. Respectfully, most people are not checking their phones or writing reviews during their holidays--just as I would not expect anyone here to be updating Yelp on Christmas or New Year's. At that point, the follow-ups felt less like customer care and more like an attempt to manage optics. Additionally, I later noticed a comment from a private or anonymous account referencing details about my refund--information that was only known to a very limited number of staff present at the time. While I will not speculate, it does raise reasonable questions about professionalism and discretion behind the scenes. To Camille and Sandy: I ain't stupid--I am a bitch and you messed with the wrong one. Which is why I am calling you out by name. To be clear, I recognize and appreciate the owner's effort to address the issue. However, consistency across all staff is what ultimately defines a business. Professionalism cannot exist only at the management level--it has to carry through every interaction. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. There is clear potential here, but also a clear need for stronger alignment in communication, accountability, and respect for customers' time and boundaries.

    So happy I came back! Quality and service from both the owners and the technicians was amazing

    Nice and clean environment. Each customer is given sanitized packaged prepping tools. Lucy did an amazing job on my manicure. She did perfect cuticle care and builder gel shaping my nail bed. And she was very patient and have great expertise on helping me with style of Cat eye effects and designs. Amelia was very detailed on pedicure. She was fast and even layer out the sequins so it sparks evenly! Immediately spread the word to my friends and family all get theirs done here!

I ended up arriving about 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment, and even before the salon officially opened, and they welcomed me right away. Michelle was fantastic! She was communicative, attentive, and gave me exactly what I wanted without any pressure or upselling. She took the time to understand my preferences and delivered beautiful results. For context, I'm very particular about my nails and used to drive 35 minutes to my previous salon because I struggled to find someone who met my standards. After my experience here, I can confidently say I've found my new go-to nail salon. Highly recommend Irvine Nails and Michelle--10/10 experience!

    This was unfortunately one of the most stressful and disappointing nail salon experiences I've had…read more Prior to arriving, I checked their online booking portal and noticed they had availability every 15 minutes starting at 1 PM through the end of the day, so I assumed they had room for their classic mani-pedi combo. My previous nail salon in Mission Viejo would block off unavailable times online, so I genuinely thought they had availability. When I arrived, they told me they could do the pedicure, but the manicure would depend on time. Which is fine, I understand and respect their availability. While they were setting up the pedicure station, they rushed me to pick a color, barely giving me more than 2 minutes before telling me to just sit down and saying I can pick later. For context, I only wanted a basic regular polish mani-pedi -- no gel, acrylics, extensions, or nail art. Just regular polish, shaping, and shaping. They handed me a gel sample book to choose from, I asked if these were the colors on the wall, and they confirmed it wasn't because they don't make sample books for regular polish. So the book was pointless... I normally do a shiny silver color on my toes, so I asked if they had something similar and was basically told "I don't know. Whatever we have is on the wall." I said I'd like to quickly look at the wall myself and if they didn't have something similar, I'd just go with white. As soon as I sat down for my pedicure, another technician came over to start my manicure, so naturally I assumed both services were being done (great!) She asked for my desired length and shape, and I requested oval. Less than 5 minutes into the manicure, I noticed my nails were being cut and shaped unevenly and nothing like what I asked for. When I politely pointed it out, she proceeded to say in Vietnamese to her coworker (I'm Vietnamese and understood everything) that I was being difficult and that she was going to help another client instead... About 10 minutes after she walked away, I was told they no longer had time to do my manicure anymore -- which left me disappointed considering they had already chopped off my nails and left them unfinished and half filed. I asked if they could at least file my nails evenly since they had already cut them, and while they agreed, my nails are better, but still uneven across the board. The most frustrating part was that while my hands were occupied, the pedicure technician just started painting my toes white without confirming the color with me or letting me go back to the wall to look. Ironically, when I went to pay, I found the exact silver color I had originally been looking for. Overall, I left feeling rushed, dismissed, and stressed out instead of relaxed. I don't normally leave reviews, but I wanted to share my honest experience.
