Kitty was great! She did a beautiful almond shaped, thin French tip just like I wanted. I was worried my nails were too short. Love it! One thing to note is that they apply the builder gel just like regular gel polish, instead of building the shape of your nail with an apex like some places do. So next time I think I would just do regular gel.

My go-to place! Plain and simple. All the nail technicians are great and pay attention to detail. I don't think I've gone anywhere else for 1.5 years!

Simple and beautiful. Thank you Anh!

Very attentive, but so disappointed at their customer service. I was looking for a fast place nearby where walk-ins were welcome. Saw the reviews and stars for this place, called and they were available to do my mani and pedi right away! Older Anne did a great job with my simple mani. I wasn't sure exactly what shade of polish I wanted. Not only did she bring me their most popular 3, but tried them on me. That was very cool of her to do. Would love to see her again! Younger Anne did my pedi. She's very gentile. Wish I could give them 5 stars for the nice service they provided, but I give them 2 because *customer service* is okay until you get to the register... I didn't bring a purse with me. All I had was my phone and a credit card. I wasn't aware they only take cash for tips. I asked younger Anne to add tip to my card, since I had no purse/ no cash. Younger Anne insisted and asked if I had Venmo. I understand her situation, but WOW! Really? After saying something meant for me not to understand in their language to one another, she accepted my tip and said, "just this time". Ok, thanks! The place is very small. On my way out I thanked them all with a smile. Do you think any of them cared to look at me? ********** Short version: Ask for older Anne and BRING CASH for tips. Enjoy!

You can hardly even tell which is acrylic. Amazing work!

I've been referred to this nail salon by my friend. My nails have been growing out so quickly despite where I've gone. Kitty told me the way she was going to push my cuticles back. She delivered what she had promised. From getting my nails done every 2 weeks, she was able to let me push it to 3-3.5 weeks - without looking horrendous. You truly pay for what you get. I came back in another time and got my nails done. Unfortunately I didn't love the way it turned out. HOWEVER, Stephany KILLED IT! I'm so happy with their customer service and know who I'll be going to from now. Truly so so so happy. Thanks ladies.

Uneven gel

FIRST TIMER: Price point doesn't match the quality/service. Yes the girls were very nice but when I go in knowing the gel manicure will be $40 I have higher expectations. Nails uneven, gel glob in the corners. On top of that they were having issues with their schedules and having a full conversation over my foot looking at the phone and resting a post it on my leg....I'm not a table lol I asked for a design and was told they couldn't do it...asked for stickers and they couldn't find them... they said they'd keep looking but I just wanted to leave by then. I was disappointed and don't think I'll be returning.

I normally don't write reviews. But this place deserves one, it's THAT good! I am new to the area and happened to come across this place so decided to try it out. They did such an amazing job on the shape, color and did exactly what I asked for. Ask for Spring, she did wonderful and is so sweet. Overall, super happy with this place and definitely will be coming back!

Love this place. So happy with my nails and pedicure. Everyone is very friendly and Michelle asked a lot of questions to make sure my nails were just how I wanted them.

Gel manicure by Stephany
Alena I.

After my previous experience, Stephany reached out and offered to redo my nails. The gel looks great, it has not chipped or peeled and I've gotten compliments on the color and the overall quality of the work. Also I forgot to mention earlier, I also got a pedicure the first time I went in and that went great.

Dirty chair and dust bunny/hair clumps on the floor.

Pretty disappointed about the service we received here over the weekend. Corona Del Mar has a ton of nail salons and options, so I'd urge you to check out a different salons before coming here. I brought my boyfriend in for a manicure/pedicure because the man needed some TLC. I typically treat myself once a month to a pedicure but my normal salon was closed for the day so we settled in Nail & Beauty Bar. We called ahead to check availability and they told us they could get us in 30 minutes after the time of our call. Upon arrival they weren't ready for us and made us wait another 20 minutes outside along PCH. Not a problem being outside, but we would've rather show up at a time they were ready for us. We we sat our treatment went fast and I mean warp speed fast. Both our manicures and pedicures were done within 20 minutes of sitting down. That includes waiting for the spa chair to fill with water. There was little to no massage, the chairs were dirty, music was cranking so loud it was hard to relax, and we felt rushed along by the technicians. I left feeling upset for the amount of money spent and the lack of service and hygiene. With many other salon options in Corona Del Mar I know I'll be able to feel satisfied elsewhere. Disappointing and a waste of money.

By far the best nail salon experience! I've been here twice. My First visit, I had some girlfriends in town from the east coast and we were prepping for Stagecoach. I called to make us an appointment first thing in the morning when they opened. They were great at confirming my appointment And confirming all of the services we were doing. As soon as we got there, all the ladies that worked there were ON IT. 2 ladies on each of the 3 of us for manis and pedis. And they played country music for us! I did gel and they lasted so long and didn't chip or peel AT ALL. They did a phenomenal job! And the stone design they did on my friends nails was perfection! My second visit was great as well. My gel has lasted 1 month!!! No joke. And still looks perfect.

Gel mani

CDM Nail Bar is so much more than just your average walk in nail place. The gals are so much fun and are so, so talented (pic for reference). This gel lasted so much longer than I'm used to and it stayed cute the entire time. A MUST visit!

Nail polish everywhere

So I was in town visiting with my boyfriend, and I really wanted to get a pedicure. I saw this place and I got super excited because there was no wait so I sat down and told them I wanted a Mani pedi. Overall it was a really clean place but I was really disappointed with the service and my pedicure. She didn't put a toenail separator in between my toes so my pinky nail polish came off right away, and there was nail polish on my skin and uneven. They offered the lady who sat next to me water but never offer me water once. They didn't even mention the yelp check in with champagne iMy boyfriend came in halfway through to say hi and they were really rude to him as well. Overall I would not recommend this place if you're visiting.

Best gels ever!!!!!! Always consistent and great service!

I came in with healthy, well-grown nails and left disappointed on every level. My cuticles were butchered. They were perfectly healthy before, and now they're choppy and damaged. She also cut my nails too short despite me showing her a reference photo of exactly what I wanted -- a squared shape. She clearly didn't know how to execute it. The nail polish application is chunky and uneven. Instead of using a brush to clean up the edges, she was using her own fingernail to scrape along the sides of my nails. I had to ask her multiple times to stop because it was uncomfortable and scratching me. On top of all that -- no hand massage, no cuticle oil, no top coat. Basic steps that should be standard were completely skipped. I'm especially frustrated because I called the owner beforehand and asked to be booked with someone skilled. This was supposedly their best. I will not be returning and would not recommend this salon to anyone who values their nails or their time. This is what 'their best' looks like. Horrible.

I was late to my appointment, which I called prior to coming in to make sure it was still okay for me to come. They assured me that it was okay and that they are ready for me. When I came in, I immediately knew the energy was off. Since I sat down, they were saying things like "oh yeah, she was late so she can wait for us". One of the other nail techs even say "oh feel free to charge her whatever you want" to what my nail tech said "yeah I'm gonna charge her $7 extra". They didn't know I was fluent in Vietnamese. I didn't say anything because I wanted to continue to hear what they had to say about me. They also asked me where I was from and if I lived in the area. I am assuming that they're asking this to gauge what my ethnicity is. Also, they kept bringing up the fact that I was late. If me being late was such an issue, why say that it was okay for me to come and that they are ready for me? At the end of the conversation, I asked what the charges for and they said the $7 was for callous remover. I just took it as that and didn't call them out on it. Right before I left, I told them in Vietnamese that if they were going to talk shit, make sure I wasn't Vietnamese and that people don't understand them. Their shocked faces made the whole experience worth it tbh. In short, these people are probably going to talk shit about you the whole time.

My hands covered in acetone from the soaking, powder from the scraping, and nasty oil. No hand wash, no warm wet towel to wash off the residue. The color was a pale yellow.
