    Oh man! These people are soooo nice! I came in without an appointment to get my nails done on my break from work! Needless to say I was running out of time and needed to get back to work, Daisy the technician was sooo sweet and told me to come back when I'm done working and she'd come back too and finish! I cannot believe how nice she was. It was totally my fault for thinking I'd have enough time. Anyways, she did an amazing job and has been doing nails for years! Just make sure to call and make an appointment with her! You will not regret it!

    My awesome signature regular nail polish manicured fingers from Nancy!
    Olivia O.

    I have been coming here for years. I came back first because I got a standard manicure pedicure with regular nail polish and it didn't chip and it lasted!!! For a bartender that washes glassware in hot and cold water and is constantly washing their hands, that was huge! And then when I came back over the years they have always been so nice to me. My favorite is Nancy who tonight cancelled her personal plans to give me a pedicure and manicure very last minute, it that's not going above and beyond, I don't know what is!!!! Go see Nancy!!!!

    Dip manicure from Kim.

    Kim did an amazing job on my dip manicure. The turn out was fantastic! Do pay her a visit if you can!

    I see lumps. Don't you? Plus, the color i selected was a gold. This looks more silver than the sample.

    I was lured in by the proximity and the Yelp deal--$25 gel mani for first-timers. I gravitated towards the new chrome colors and then I was informed they take more time so wouldn't come under the deal. "$35 for chrome," said Christine, "It's $50 down the street." Okay. She also talked me into a pedi for $19. I wavered and finally caved. So they got to work. The chrome is a few more layers than a regular gel, more chances to get it wrong. The results:' a lumpy and in some spots rough finish with a lot of mess around my cuticles and glitter dust--which was washed away somewhat. I brought the lumpiness to her attention. No mirror finish here. She called over Annie and Emily (they also work there) who inspected, but stayed silent. I was the last client of the day. She "fixed" two of the rough spots which really meant sanding down the spot and then reapplying 3 more coats of chrome and clear so it looked lumpy still. And one of my pinkies they was redone is still sticky. Really? Before I had agreed to the pedi--remember I had come in for a gel mani only--said she had those throw away flip-flops. As my toes neared their drying cycle she said I'd be fine with a little oil. ?!?Everyone knows that it takes a good 2 hours for regular nail lacquer to cure. I came in with hard, close-toed leather loafers. I said, 'I just saw you with some yellow flip-flops, I am going to need something.' The other worker said they gave the last pair to a previous client who had left as I was sitting down. Really? Christine, who seemed to be the head tech on duty that day who did my gel mani, kept repeating that she was giving me a deal. Their regular pedi's are $30. Many salons discount their services on slow days, like the Tuesday I received my services. Plus, I would never pay a discounted rate for shoddy service...oh... but I did. After I expressed that my toes definitely are not dry, she said if they got messed up, I could come back. We just talked about my being out of town and here on business. Consistently inconsistent. I won't be going back here to say the least for a few reasons: 1. They gaslight you 2. When they do a bad job they don't correct it 3. And they don't do a good job in the first place The woman who did my toes was the only, partial saving grace to this waste of time and money. Pay the $50 for the chrome gel down the street.

    What a great experience! Stopped in for a full set and pedicure and was so impressed by the talent of Hannah. She shaped my nails perfectly and made them look so classy. I have never been so happy with the results from a ny other nail salon. I will definitely be coming back! So glad I happened upon this place. Great staff, friendly, kind and helpful. Beautiful in every way! Thank you so much Elegant Nail Boutique!!! See you all soon!

    Gel manicure with design
    Julie V.

    Trang is the new owner of this salon as of 5 months ago. I must say I am in love with her work ethics. She will spend her time on you and make sure you're completely satisfied even if it means her staying after closing time. Her prices are ridiculously cheap considering her salon is in Newport Beach. I went in today to get gel manicure with designs and gel pedicure. I came in at 530 and I didn't realize she closes at 6pm. She didn't even try to turn me away. She took her time on me and made sure the length and design was right. She didn't get done with me until 730pm! I want to in courage anyone who has got their nails done here to write her business a review. Ladies, we need nail salon like hers to stay in business to keep our nails looking their best!

    Acrylic Manicure

    No-frills nail salon, in a prime location on the peninsula. I called to make a last minute appointment on a Sunday for an acrylic fill and pedicure, and they had plenty of availability. The salon is relatively small, with 6 pedicure spas and 2 manicure stations. The interior is dated, but clean. I was seated at one of the spas, and one manicurist began my pedicure while another did my manicure. The ladies working were very sweet and personable, and put me at ease. There were only two pedicure options, the least expensive being $32 and the other over $50. I understand that Newport Beach rent isn't cheap, but I've never seen a basic pedicure that expensive at a hood spot before. The service was okay. It included a scrub, 5 minute massage, and weird tingly masque, but was nothing special. The manicurist who did my nails managed my desired shape, which isn't easy to do, and filled my nails back to perfection. Her work was slightly rushed, and she filed too close to my cuticles, leaving a few of them sore and raw. The end result of my nails and toes look good, so I still give 4 stars. However, I ended up paying $60 for a fill and pedicure (plus tip). I may come back here in a pinch, but this will not be my first choice for a nail salon in the area.

    I wouldn't even give them 1 star . Terrible service and work. We'll never come back here again. They have very bad attitude and don't pay attention what they're doing!

    Trish did my nails. "Builder Gel" fill with Gel polish. I'm happy with them.
    Nicole K.

    I moved to Newport 1 year ago and have been trying to find a good nail salon that isn't way over priced. I finally found one yesterday.... Elegant Nails! Trish did my gel builder fill with gel polish. She re-shaped my nails and made them look so much better! She was friendly and and informative which I loved. The prices are fair and the salon is clean. I'm def going back to this place. Thanks Trish! -update... I stopped going because they got a little sloppy after time.

After going to Venie for five years, there was only one…read moretime -- around my birthday -- that I was unhappy with my nails because they were much shorter than what I had asked for. It happens. When I reached out to her about it, the response was very rude, and I was told she would not fix them. Honestly, all that needed to happen was a simple gesture, such as offering not to charge me for a full set next time or something simple. Their prices are already on the higher side, and although I knew I was paying more than most places, I continued going because I valued the relationship and liked their work. The manager was only available on one specific day to fix the nails, and unfortunately I was unavailable that day. Instead of trying to accommodate me or work with my schedule, they were completely inflexible. Not only did they refuse to work with me, but they also made me feel unappreciated as a long-time customer. After five years of loyalty, I expected much better customer service. I will not be returning. Overpriced services with very poor customer care.

    Never coming back. I have been coming here the past few months and have spent a LOT of money here…read more I made an appt online and came in. Not only was my selected pedicure not done -- but my entire 50min pedicure was legitimately finished in 15 minutes. Nail tech was HORRIBLE. her method of removing gel was not only entirely incorrect and painful - it's absolutely a sanitation issue. Tools did not appear clean and appeared to be reused. She used an old nail file to file gel off. She filed around my skin multiple times. I have had HUNDREDS of mani / pedis and this was the worst I've ever had. I had to tell her to stop filing my skin and she continued to file on top of my skin. She did not listen. Then she started to cut around my nails with a metal instrument. I again asked her to stop. She again did not listen. She has no business working in a nail salon. The pedicure was sloppy, lazy, and seemed genuinely unsanitary. Then when paying she asked me how I was going to tip her. I felt pressured and I told her that the pedicure was really bad and I would not be tipping. I told her she didn't complete the pedicure I scheduled to which she said "you didn't tell me". I then told her that 1. She could have checked the schedule to see if scheduled a stress relief pedicure 2. I wrote down on the sign in sheet she asked me to sign that it was a stress relief pedicure and 3. I even verbally stated I was there for the stress relief pedicure. I have to say - if this is the type of nail technician that this business is hiring I will take my business elsewhere. It's a huge bummer because I really liked hiro (the manager). I messaged the number that confirmed my appointment asking to speak with upper management -- crickets. I DM'd them on Instagram -- also crickets. I wanted to see if we could make things right before I came to write this review. You are only as good as the people you employ, sand spa. And I can honestly say if more thought isn't put into who you hire and the service they provide...the salon will continue to stay empty as it has been the last 3 times I went in.
