Gel manicure
Noey S.

I absolutely love this place and I've been coming here for over 5 years. Hannah does my nails, and Jenny does my toes. They both go the extra mile with extremely hot towels, an outstanding massage (the best part) and the polish always looks perfect. I appreciate that they pay attention to detail and don't rush your experience. I think the key to a great manicure and pedicure is the message, hot stones, and hot towels. They don't brush over any part of the experience and I feel like you truly get the full package. I always return because I can count on Hannah and Jenny to deliver an amazing mani/pedi! Best spot in HB and can't wait to come back.

Just following up with an update after being a consistent customer for the past year. This nail salon will always be my favorite to go to. Not only are they affordable but they do amazing work and I am always happy when I leave!

O M GEE! I have found my nail spot. I have came here twice already and their work speaks for themselves. I came here one Saturday about a little over 2 weeks ago and Hannah did my nails and she is such a perfectionist. She is always making sure the nails are filed correctly and just looking it's best. I came today and Mary did my fill. She was so friendly and knows how to hold a conversation. Mary was the same as Hannah making sure the nails are filed correctly and just taking her time which I love. She doesn't do any designs but I am so glad that Mary did my nails with just professionalism and making sure I liked my nails. They definitely want you to leave a happy customer and ensure you come back. Also they have a stamp card which is always nice.

My go to spot for nails. Reasonable prices and great service. The ladies are so nice and they do an amazing job. Very thorough in cleaning cuticles and nails. Gel mani and pedi was $59

Got the same color on my toes.

I've been living in HB for almost a year now and needed a nail salon to go to regularly. I was driving to Garden Grove for awhile but got tired of it. Also, I am currently 6 months pregnant and I couldn't get to my toes anymore after the 5th month. Hahahaha My husband refused to cut them. So, I looked up a nail salon nearby and I found Alpha Nails with great reviews. The ladies there were nice and very gentle. I get really nervous/anxious when my fingernails are being filed down by the electric filer or emery board. I am so mad that I forgot to ask for their name (pregnant brain ). I was very pleased with their service. The salon is clean. I am going to be back there for sure!

Honestly I've been coming here for a couple years now since it's down the street from my house, but lately the service and the quality of nails has been slacking! Bubbly nails, crooked nails, laziness and refusal to remove and fix disliked nails..I don't know what happened. This last time is what made me annoyed though. i went two days ago for a regular pedi, asked to remove any oncoming ingrowns (didn't have any painful ones coming in) and she's digging into one of my toes till it was bleeding non stop, I was told it was normal, it didn't feel normal, but i decided to give it the benefit of the doubt.. The next day it's SWOLLEN and purple. Today after work, there was pus coming out my toe, and extremely painful. Lucky me, my mom used to be a nail artist so i had to go to her to check my toe, she saw that my ingrown was CREATED by the lady, not prevented, on a perfectly fine toe to begin with. Not coming back here again. need to go to the doctor to get this DRAINED.

I have been coming to Alpha Nails since they opened and have not been disappointed! I think they are doing their best during COVID and having limited customers/employees in the shop at one time. To the Jennifer D post: I was there when you came in. You did not have an appointment and Cindy was very polite when asking if you can come back Monday. During these times you should know to make an appointment. And they close at 5pm on Sundays...not 7.

Disappointed. My cuticles are really cut up and the sides of my fingers have deep cuts. Woman was really rough on my hands and left me all cut up (see photos) Also, I chose a pink gel color off the gel charts that they have and was given OPI bubble bath (I didn't notice till 3 nails in and just said screw it and accepted it). I asked several times for a certain nail shape and the lady kept saying yea and they were square (I reshaped them myself at home) Only 2 stars go to this young man maybe in his 20's who took his time and gave me a great pedicure (see photos) Won't be back sadly

These ladies are always so kind and so detail oriented with my nails! They do not rush through the nail process like other nail locations have done to me in the past. They are so careful with my cuticles also which is nice because I have sensitive cuticles. I think their prices are super reasonable too! Always pleased with the service. This is my nail, pedicure and eye brow location :)

I made an appointment here because a friend recommended it and it was so close to my work. The salon itself seems very clean and the choice of colors is the perfect amount! Not too many to choose from that it's overwhelming and not too small a selection either. The atmosphere was super calming too! I love all the little waterfalls and music playing in the background. I so regret not asking for my nail tech's name! She was the sweetest woman and I had the best experience with her! She was so nice, accommodating, and informing in her recommendations! I definitely would rebook again with her. Another plus is that they do stamp cards, and you get 2 stamps if you pay in cash! Overall, I had a great experience here and I'm looking forward to coming back!

Alpha nails are awesome friendly, nice. Jenny did a good job on my nails. Thank you so much!

My edges were chipping! How!? On 2 nails!
Michelle B.

Came here on Tuesday to get a fill with gel and a pedi. Everyone was really nice and everything was clean. I was excited that I found a new nail spot and for 40% off because of the grand opening I was stoked. I was getting bored with going to my regular nail lady. I WAS always getting my nails done. I was on a 4 month streak and then I came here. Anyways. I got a fill my nails were horrible. The First Lady "L"was so rude. She was bothered that I complained about my nails. I even tipped her. They were so bad there was NO way I was going to not say anything. They redid my nails. Lady "L" was "snatching" my hands and filed them down with the drill. She kept saying better now you happy now. Omg I was fuming. I was moved to another chair to get my nails redone. She removed everything and did a new set. She was "the best one" there. My nails separated from the acrylic not even a day later. The started to chip on the edges. I decided to rip my nails off. My nails were filed down so much (because the did my nails twice) that I can't use hot or cold water anymore. They BURN. I still can't get 2 nails off. I swear one of them is lifting my actual nail. Never coming here again. NEVER. Only gave 3 stars because Joann who did my toes was so nice and did a great job.

Pedicure quality was also good and unique treatment-wise, but I need to stay loyal to my pedicure girl elsewhere. Nonetheless, I will be going here ongoing for manicures.

The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment I walked in. I had a last-minute appointment and ended up with a different technician than planned, which I didn't think would be an issue based on the glowing reviews. Sadly, the pedicure didn't quite hit the mark. I noticed while I was still sitting there that the polish job didn't look great, but I let it go without saying anything. I really wish I had taken a closer look -- after getting home and showering, I could see that there were patches with polish completely missing and polish still sitting on my cuticles. Lesson learned! I wouldn't rule this place out for a future visit, but I'd definitely be more attentive next time and speak up in the moment if something seems off.
