I've been in Orange County on my monthly visit to check on my mom - and needed to get a pedicure (I was overdue) ...I looked up a few places on yelp ...found this place and headed down ....i was greeted nicely and immediately shown to a chair, the nice lady started the water, and relaxation began. My first time here, and I found the place to be very pleasant, and what I liked was the general "quiet" of the salon...no loud bantering or chatting loudly back and forth which seems very common in so many other nail salon's. I was absolutely provided the service I selected and found it to be reasonably priced. I enjoyed my experience here and most definitely will come back when I'm In town. read more

Recently had to get my nails done so I thought I would try out Apple nail salon. Definitely was not impressed when I got there. It was really stuffy and Hot Inside the salon and it was outdated and old looking. The fully tattooed young man that did my fingernails did not do a good job whatsoever. It's been a week and they're already going out which is not what should be happening after only one week they were actually growing out three or four days later because the tattooed guy didn't push my cuticles back. I asked him too, but he did not. He was not very friendly whatsoever and that made it very uncomfortable. He did not shape my nails the way I wanted them either. When I tried to tell him I wanted it differently. He said no literally no I can't be done. The feet didn't come out any better the lady who did my feet was very nice but yet she gave me a bruise on my right toe. My toe was longer on the right side that it was on the left side. She got gel crust that still hasn't come off my big toe and around the smaller toes as well all in all really bad service I will not go back and of course they tipped well about 17 bucks per person. I called the owner and they said for me to just come back in and they could fix it, but how uncomfortable is that? You know that those two people are gonna be there wondering what's wrong and giving you the stink eye. So no, I would never go back. once again, this is only after one week horrible looking. I get my feet and nails done regularly, about once every three weeks my boyfriend lives at the beach. I'm trying to look for a nail place since I don't live here I live in the desert, and this is definitely not a place I would go back. read more

Jade did a lovely pedicure and gave me one of the best foot massages I ever had. Felt like reflexology. Thank you Jade.

NEVER get your nails done here. I had my nails done 3 days ago. One nails cracked off out of the blue on day 3. Later that night another. Today is day 3 and I am now missing 4 nails. I only type at computer. No heavy lifting or manual labor. I called the shop and they said they can fix. I asked to be refunded so I can go to another shop. He refused. I mentioned that I would need to file a complaint with my bank and the man on the line (who seems to be owner) said "ok do it". I wouldn't go here for even a manicure ever again. read more

I normally do my own nails because no one can meet my expectations. I decided to treat myself for my Birthday so I got my nails done Saturday 7/13. Today is Wednesday 7/17 and it's already chipped. When I walked in, I specifically asked for a MANICURE because that is what I wanted. I don't care much for the color because I can do that at home. (Look how awful they left my middle finger) The lady, who I believe is the owner, just started drilling my NATURAL nails, yes, my natural nail that had nothing on them. Then, she started with the dip right away. Didn't even bother to push back my cuticles (at least) nor didn't even ask if I wanted my cuticles cleaned. WHAT HAPPEN TO MANICURES?! Don't waste your money here, they're too expensive for these kind of results. read more

I've never felt so upset/sad & ripped off after getting my nails done until today's first time experience at Apple Nail Salon. I decided to come to this nail shop in particular since it's nearby my work and I needed to get my nails done after work for a wedding on Saturday. I'm not sure what the lady's name is but it was just my luck to end up with a manicurist lady that did an incompetent job at executing a simple & basic french tip manicure. I wasn't even expecting to do a powder dip french tip, but she kept insisting that I get the powder dip for my french tip nails and somehow ended up doing power dip on my nails anyhow. I'm a pretty patient and calm person, but as soon as she started working on my nails, I could already feel myself feeling so annoyed at her work. I could already tell that it seemed like she wasn't very experienced at what was doing. My powder dip french tip came out to be very thick, un-even tips, and just poorly executed. I didn't want to be mean and yell or complain at the moment because I didn't want to be rude, but I knew was already so over the nail visit. After she was done with both hands, I pointed out two of my fingers that I had noticed with flaws on them and she said something in Vietnamese that I completely understood. She said something in Vietnamese along the lines of...."It's just a tiny flaw and she's not satisfied with it" --- Ma'am, it was not just a tiny flaw, it was a pretty darn noticeable flaw! Every time I go to any nail salon, I don't know why the Vietnamese workers at nails shops always think that I don't know what they're saying, but in fact I understand everything!! (I'm Vietnamese myself, but for some reason they always think I'm Filipino, Japanese, etc). Anyways, I ended up still having to pay $65 for a terrible job done on my nails. Not only were both nails on my thumbs flawed but all of my other nails were flawed as well. I left the store feeling so disappointed, sad, upset, & tired from work. The only highlight of the visit was the owner noticing the poor quality that was done on my nails and apologized. He then asked if I can come in the next day so that he can do my nails all over again. I plan to stop by again after work tomorrow and I really hope that he's able to redeem the flaw that was done and re-do my nails the second time around with perfection. read more

I've been coming to Ken for about a year now and I'm so impressed with him and the customer service he provides. He is consistent, kind and is so genuinely talented. I am very meticulous about the way my nails look and Ken is always checking in to make sure I like my nails and am satisfied. I usually leave nail salons unhappy, however since I have been coming to Apple Nail Salon, that hasn't happened. Not only is Ken a talented artist but he's a great business owner. He greets everyone who walks in immediately, he's multi tasking answering the phone, doing nails and assuring everyone is happy. He works incredibly hard and he is so CONSISTENT. I have so much respect for Ken and the service he provides. Come to Apple Nail Salon and ask for Ken-you won't regret it. read more

Everybody here was very sweet and very efficient !!! Service was very good and I loved how my pink&white acrylic nails & pedi came out.

I came here out of desperation to find a new nail tech. It's very close to home but the shopping center is run down so I've ignored it, DONT! They are extremely friendly and do amazing work here. They remember your likes and dislikes and are always pleasant . This seems like a secret local gem. Love it here read more

I have been their customer for over 10 years, last week i got my nails done and when i left i didnt like the color so i came back and nicely asked if i could be seen to get a color change, i was ok with paying extra or whatever it took but as soon as i walked back in the owner and his wife started giving me attitude and Ken the owner yelled at me and said "i should have said something at the beginning" i was like all im saying is that the service was good i just dont like the color can you change it for me for my party they refused and yelled at me for going back and said that i needed to go back the day after. I was upset but never said anything and just left. I will never go back thats not the way to treat customers and i will start looking for someone else even though my nail tech was great! And im sad to loose him but they lost a usual customer.... read more

We made an appointment for two people and were welcomed with big smiles and seated immediately. They did a perfect job on both of our gel manicures. They were playing lovely spa/relaxing music, so uncommon these days in nail spas. My gel manicure lasted me four weeks. The next time I am in this town, I will definitely go back! read more

Excellent customer customer service here. The women are so friendly, and are true professionals. I was nervous about finding a new nail spot after moving out of Irvine but they have never let me down the past six months I've been here. Very affordable. My favorite part is also that they don't take as long as most places do, but that doesn't affect the quality of the service. read more

Came here with my daughter since this is her "go to" place. She was in need of a mani/pedi and I was desperately in need of a good pedicure since this was my first pedicure since before COVID19 hit.

Normally this was my go to place; however, after my experience today with the woman pictured I will never come back again. I always frequent apple nails usually every 3 weeks and the past two times I have brought my daughter they have been so kind. Normally I would go on weekends. Today I went on Thursday and this woman could not stop yelling at my newly 5 year old (she turned 5 in June). Mind you, my child is a child, the nail polish is there one hour and taken off the next. It isn't a big deal. This nail tech kept on looking at my child and yelling at her to sit still and was yelling at her for "ruining her nails". After the 3rd time, I couldn't take it, I asked her to stop speaking to my child in that tone and told her how disgusted I was that she would yell at a child as if she was intentionally trying to ruin the nails when she was just excited and wanting to look at her rainbow nails. I was more disgusted that the manager/ owner was present and did not come to my defense or try to get involved and fix the situation. I understand cultures are different; however, we are in America and children shouldn't be yelled at for being curious, excited. As someone who works with children for a living, it sickened me to my core. Yelling at children for being children is insane. I cant support an establishment that thinks it's okay. It turned my child's fun experience into a cold, uncomfortable one and she never wants to go to a nail salon again because of the "mean woman who yelled". Apple Nails should be ashamed of themselves, especially when I paid for a service. The woman kept complaining "I have to do your nails and your mom's nails". If you don't want to do nails for a living, go work somewhere else. Tons of places are hiring. read more

I'm giving this place a 2 star instead of a one because at least they offered me some Water . I scheduled an appt, however I was not Seen until 25 minutes past appt time. Never in my years of getting dip on my nails have I ever experienced chipping , cracking and lifting until I came here . I am so upset because after 2 and a half weeks This happened.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I made an appointment for 3 people for 9:30 3/17. When we arrived, they were closed and no answer to a phone call. They took my # when they took the reservation. Not sure what happened. read more

Ken is very good. Ive gotten my nails done with him several times. I decided to try a couple of other nail techs at apple nails but they haven't been great. The very last time I went I got powder nails and a gel pedicure. The guy who did my hands didnt push back my cuticle or really take off any of the skin. My nails did not look pristine. They were just ok. The gel pedicure was also not great. My ingrown toenail was not addressed, all toenails were not properly cleaned/scraped, and the massage was mediocre. Also, my gel pedicure chipped like 2 days in. The vibe in the salon is relaxing though. read more

I have only one 2 star rating and just 1 one star rating. Try not to hurt a business. Usually it's a 5 star from me or I won't bother posting. To anyone picking a new nail salon; do not pick this one. At least not for dipping. My fingernails hurt and throb. Can't grow out a small bit of nail. They just rip and snag everything. Hurts to even file the little that rips as soon as it grows a bit. Feels like I don't have any nail on top. Used Apple nail salon prior to COVID. Family run business and wanted to support them again. They have always been a clean establishment and I really liked when Ken did my nails. Held out getting nails done because mine were strong and grew beautifully on their own. Decided to try dipped nails. Heard they were better than gels for your nail beds. Didn't want to soak in acetone to take off. Can last up to 5 weeks. Do not have a picture because they looked great when they were done the first time. The issue is when they took off and put on the second time. Had my thumb crack the first few days. They were kind and did fix. Was not the quality of the first set. My nails didn't feel great after first set was taken off. Should of called it off for second set. All my nails were done very thin and it would be only 4 more days before I had to have them all taken off for good. My nail beds are ruined; top to bottom. Can't have a bit of nail growth because they are paper thin. Can't touch anything without pain. Opening my cats food requires a tool to pop it open. The picture below is the red ridges you can see. Full warped indent in my thumb. Think it will take about 6 months to a year to grow all my nails completely out. It's been 2 weeks and I finally have to worn people. Hoping; the bump on my nail beds will not be permanent. Obviously; they don't want to dip nails. Just don't do it. Having them speak in their language to each other while I was choosing a dip color is now a reason why I am posting. Don't know what they were saying; but everyone was looking. Feel this was on purpose; so they didn't have to deal with dipping instead of gels. Or the nail stylist is truly incompetent. I had an appointment; so I should of been given a person that is experienced in dipping. Also; both times I tried to show appreciation by paying cash and tipping way too much. Thought giving extra, extra tip each time; they would try harder for the customer. Spending $120 for dipping and a pedi is a lot for this place. I wish I did not have to quit having painted nails and post this awful experience. read more

First time getting nails done, post Covid! I decided to try a new nail salon after I heard through the grapevine that my old nail salon had been still seeing customers during at home orders and mandated salon closures by the state. I like that this nail salon took precautionary measures including keeping doors open, checking temperatures, signing waivers and putting up protective plastic barriers. See photos of plastic barriers/partisans. Everyone in the salon was also wearing masks. They even gave me disposable plastic gloves for handling the nail polish. I had been wary about going back to nail salons and I was happy that the salon was cautious and they also did a terrific job with my nails. I will definitely go back! read more
