This is my GO TO nail spot... for all the other negative reviews... I have no idea what they could be talking about. Brian the nail tech is the most talented nail tech I have ever had. He does flawless artistic full sets on me bi-weekly. They last 4-6 weeks even if I wanted the tobut I choose to go every 2-3 weeks. Brian does amazing French tips on my new set & does custom designs w rhinestones and glitter too. I am a full time touring DJ & singer. I get compliments all the time on my nails. Prices are SO fair. He gives you amazing deals. If you want high quality work & a fair price go here! read more

They are so nice but charged random amounts not consistent with price sheet.. Also just very bad work my french tip is very sloppy read more

I've been coming here for about 2 years. The staff is very nice and they do a quality manicure/pedicure. They have great pedicure chairs that are very comfortable! Amanda does an amazing manicure! And Fawn does a great pedicure! They have all the new technology for nails and does beautiful decor on your nails. I would recommend coming here, and be sure to ask for Amanda and/or Fawn! read more

He does it again! Brian was amazing and gave me beautiful nails for my Disney trip. I got so many complements. Thank you. It's always so nice and relaxing coming here. Love it! read more

They didn't understand what I wanted despite me telling them multiple times before and throughout the service. The polish was very messy and lumpy and I can see every mistake that the pedicure lady did. When I tried correcting her mistake, she simply rolled her eyes at me and when working on the other foot she completely rushed through it so I would have no time to correct her whatsoever, very rude. The man was no better, as while he was nice, he didn't seem to know what to do nor made it seem like it was okay for me to speak up and ignored my words. The lady also cut my skin even though I told her to be careful, and she also dipped the nail oil brush from the bottle onto the cut and then back in before STORING it instead of tossing it out or using a disposable brush, makes me wonder how many unsanitary things they've done. While the price for the regular manicure set is nice, please know you are paying for what you get, it won't be good service and the man wasn't done on tome to service his other customer. They are severely and undertrained, please just head to a different nail studio where I guarantee they at least take your voice and needs into consideration. read more

I was a walk-in. After a long day of work. I needed to do something for self-care. I was told if I could wait 10 minutes as they were short staff that day, and I went over to another shop to get a waffle snack to wait. Meanwhile. Service here was really great. I decided to do gel since the person who does acrylic was not there, because he was at his sons grad. I felt very welcomed. The girl, who did my nails was very easy to talk to. I told her last minute. I wanted a French tip. She was pretty honest and said she didn't have time for it, but that she could do an ombre for me. I haven't done an Ombre in a while, and it looks amazing. The nails are still holding on very steady . My only regret is that I didn't get to do my pedicure with them as well, because everyone else's feet looked great . Since they were short staffed, I was supposed to go back the next day after work to get my pedicure. However, I had to come home for other reasons. But if I'm ever in the area, I will definitely come here again. read more

Elegant Nails & Spa - This is just my most recent set... the man can do anything... - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I go into Elegant nails to use a gift card from Christmas 2024, a 15 month old gift card. Brian tells me AFTER my services that Elegant Nails has a new owner as 2 months after my gift card was issued, so they will not honor by gift card. BUT, here at YELP, the current Elegant Nails is using reviews all the way back 5 years and beyond. Using the good reviews but no honoring the gift card. read more

Shout out to Brian who not only made my nails look great, but he was genuinely the best part of the whole experience. His warm and friendly nature, along with his going above and beyond service, will be the very reason I will come back to this location. Thank you Brian for a fun & relaxing experience. read more

I found this place as I was getting matcha nearby and it may be a new regular spot for me! Brian is a hoot and a perfectionist (made sure my nails looked super clean). Gave a great hand massage too. Prices are also pretty good! Right now they have a deal where you can get an acrylic full set + gel for $35. Such a steal! read more

I had Brian and he was amazing. I went on a day where it wasn't too busy and he did a great job. I haven't gone to a salon in a long time due to getting cut and crazy prices. He didn't cut me or make me feel bad for my dancers feet lol. The prices are pretty good too. Great vibes there playing some good 80s music. I think this is going to be my new spot with Brian. Thank you! read more

I called & made an appt for 4/19/25 for an acrylic nail fill ($35) pedicure ($25), exfoliating feet callouses ($5-$7), & plain colored polish. Thete's a $3 fee for credit card use. (I can't speak to walk-in appts, or decorative nail art abilities.) Brian has a conversational manner which makes it easy to feel comfortable. Rather than fill, Brian preferred to remove the old acrylic & gave me a new set for $3 extra. He did an excellent job & gave my fingernails a nice new shape. I liked the thin coat of acrylic versus thicker coats by other nail techs. Mary did my pedicure...another excellent job by a sweet lady. They have a great selection of gel as well as regular nail polishes, & great prices. I'll be back! read more

super nice people but nails did not turn out good. I went in asking for dip and he did acrylic, made them way too thick and short and left a mark on one nail and didn't fix it. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. I purchased a $50 gift card for this business and they place a 3 month expiration date for their gift cards. If you do not use it within that timeframe they discard the gift card. I proposed adding $50 to the gift card to renew the card and they did not want to help. Horrible business model and customer service. read more

My first time here. Came in as a walk-in and Brian and Ellen were so friendly! Great price for great nails. I definitely will be returning.

I visited this spot for the first time today. There were a couple parking spots available in the strip mall when I went during lunch hour. Tammy did my dip nails, and she was so thorough & kind! This place is very affordable for OC at $20/gel and $35/dip powder. I called to make an appointment to make sure I wouldn't have to wait long. Service was quick & I appreciate that they didn't soak my nails/cut my cuticles/massage my hands because I was in a rush, but I'm sure you could request that. All in all, great spot! read more

I had a great experience! Came here on a Friday night around 6:15PM (they close at 7) and the store was empty. We were seated right away and were helped immediately. My boyfriend got a pedicure ($15) and I got regular French tip on my hands and feet ($35). The ladies were friendly and funny! They also massaged my feet and my hands! It felt great! When she was done, I did notice small mess-ups on my nails (uneven and some smudging) but even then, it was relatively minor. I would definitely come back! read more

Elegant Nails & Spa - My French tip nails on the 4th day! Still pretty intact! - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Highlight: Happy Hour on Nails from 2:00-4:30/5:00PM ( I don't remember exactly but before 5PM for sure). You can get a whole gel manicure for $15!! Service: I came in around 2ish and there was only one other person in the shop. Mary took care of me and was super nice! She also dealt with me trying to respond to texts while getting my nails done so you KNOW she had a whole lot of patience. In addition she was very meticulous about each thing she did for my nails. Bottom line: If I'm in the area during their HH I will definitely be stopping by. I think for the price and the service it's definitely worth it. read more

First time here. Mary is the worst, she seems afraid of doing my nails, inexperienced, hurt my toes, and she looked tired. I feel she didn't do a good job. She needs to retired or do something else!! I'm never coming back. Please hire good experienced and energetic people. Sorry Mary, you need to stay home and take care of your grandchildren if you have any. read more

I have been coming here for years now, and I absolutely love it! The staff is so sweet, I have gotten my nails done by all of the wonderful ladies and they are all so incredibly talented. In comparison to other salons, they have very open availability and affordable prices. I will continue to come here! read more

Elegant Nails & Spa - Halloween nails done by Tammy - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Came in on a Saturday afternoon for a regular gel mani ($27) and was surprised that there was only one other customer. This spot is clean, well lit, and smells like any other place that has a bunch of nail polish - which is to say if you are sensitive to strong smells just wear a mask :) From start to finish it took 45 minutes. I am not a nail regular (read: I get my nails done professionally less than 5 times a year) but would recommend this spot for the following reasons: - easy to find parking - abundance of color options - primer + base + THREE layers of nail color + top coat - hand/arm massage (5 min total) - bottled water (note: I'm not sure if they have this on request or if my watery eyes and panicked expression from a moment of super dry throat was why I got it) - general kindness I'll be back. read more

Got my nails done by Tammy tonight and she did a wonderful job of recreating the inspo pic with a design I had for my nails!! She's amazing! The service was friendly, professional and I was out within an hour or so of my appointment. I am definitely coming back for more. You will not be disappointed! read more

Elegant Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I stopped coming to this nail salon because every time I would come in, they would tell me to come back in an hour or so cause it was only 1 lady working. Understandable, but after coming back at the time she had said I was still waiting. Great ladies, and my nails would always last but the waiting time is ridiculous. We stopped going and found a different nail salon who would take us in right away. It was not worth sitting around waiting for someone to get their pedicure and manicure done. I'm sad but we would be here longer than we had to be. read more

Elegant Nails & Spa - Our pedicures. We love them - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Came here on a Friday night, and was able to snag an appointment a few hours before I came in. Because of Covid-19 , they are operating on an appointment only basis which meant when I walked in, there was only one client and one technician. When the technician was done with the client, it was only her and I, in the entire salon, which was great in terms of social distancing and safety. Tammy did a phenomenal job, she took her time, was very professional and friendly. Also, with these scorching hot days, I was not looking forward to melting outside to get my nails done. I'm so happy I found this salon, it was so nice to get my nails done indoors in A/C and still feel safe. read more

This place is very nice. As soon as you walk in you can just see how clean and neat it is. Tammy is my nail girl. Ask for her. I recommend her. She is kind, patient and always smiling so nice. She is such a sweetheart. I've been to many places but this one is top notch. One of its finest. I rather drive out here from Irvine then to go to in Irvine. They've done not such a great job in my city in multiple places. read more

Super friendly, affordable, and they do a great job. They are genuinely just all around great. The salon is very clean and modern but also quaint and quiet -- exactly the type of setting you want for a relaxing service. They are also just so attentive and really give you a full-service treatment compared to other salons in the area -- and for a better price. Selfishly I want to keep this place a secret. read more
