I've been here a number of times. It is always very bright and clean. No harsh fumes. The staff have always been very pleasant. I've been happy with the quality of my mani/pedi. I stay rather natural in my nail grooming so I can't comment on fake nail etc. I will continue to come back. read more

For the $68 I was charged not including the generous tip... I really wish I would've been listened to about wanting drip powder instead of acrylic... I was told because of the length of the nails acrylic was stronger and dip powder "would not work." I knew better... and should've stood firm, but I assumed the professionals knew better... right? I'm by far not a professional but have been doing my own dip powder for YEARS and rarely I'd ever have them break at a much longer length than these. I scratched my back... they should've lasted. I'm so hugely disappointed. I was spoiled for on b-day but really wish I would've saved the money and just did them myself like always. This happened exactly 1 week after getting them done... They did an amazing job on the shape but the quality is just not there and I really wish they would've pushed the cuticles back first so I wouldn't have so much grow out after a week. I wanted to love this place but I just feel so ripped off. read more

My at styles, Lani does such an amazing job with acrylics and manicure pedicure gel. I have such a busy schedule, but she always makes time for me. The rest of the ladies in the salon are equally kind and caring. I made an appointment during the celebration of lunar new year, and they shared the wealth by giving me a red envelope. Thank you so much for always making me feel welcome. read more

So amazing! This salon is so warm and welcoming and the service was top notch. I had a pedicure and really enjoyed my time there and Mimi was just a delight. Already planning to go back. Thank you Esprit Nails read more

Updating my previous review since I'm still coming to this spot. I still see Lani but everyone is super nice. I highly recommend getting a neck massage while getting your nails done - it's a must have for me and makes the whole visit very pampering and relaxing. read more

Buckle up folks, this one is going to be a doozy. I've been getting acrylics religiously for 10 years now and due to my hectic schedule I frequent a variety of nail salons all over the OC. I saw good reviews and was in the area. I look at the menu and get an idea of their prices. I gave them a call and they were able to accommodate me for a gel fill and pedi. I walked in at my scheduled time and a woman, who I can only assume is the owner, was sitting at a pedicure chair herself and very push-ly asked if I was going to do gel pedicure. I said no regular is fine, but I wanted a gel fill. She pointed to the regular polish rack and said to pick one I was super confused why I would pick a color off a wall when there would be a matching regular polish with my gel. But I figured I'd pick one in case and just run with it. I get a kind of rude head nod from the owner to go over to a chair. No escort. But I'm a big girl. So that's fine. The tech tells me to put my feet in the water she ran. She didn't check the tempurature. I like hot water, but it was too hot for even me to put my feel in. Way over skin safe temp. I let this red flag slide too. The tech takes the chair remote out of my hands and puts it away... trying to save electricity costs? Fine. I don't need a massage chair. I have no problem with the techs talking to each other, but an inside voice volume would be nice. Nope. Techs are talking to each other across the room and across like 3 or 4 pedi chairs, and the ceilings are high adding an echo. Topping it off, the tech working on me has her phone ringer on full volume and every few minutes it pings like a siren and she stops to check her phone. Alright rude. And annoying. But fine. I'll let this go too. I tell this tech I want to keep my length and just make the coffin a little sharper. She says ok and gets to work. This woman doesn't know how to hold any of my fingers without digging her thumb nail into my cuticles. Like literally I was in pain and even pulled my hand away a couple times and did the polite little 'ow' to see if she'd get it. Then another women comes to work on my toes. She and the woman working on my hands say a few words to each other and she asks me what pedi type I want. I wanted to paper myself a bit and I upped the basic pedicure ($22) to their "signature pedi" ($30) which includes a supposed 5 minute massage lol. She starts pulling her tools and says I should do a callus treatment.... has not touched my feet yet, has no idea if I have any or not. I say no thanks. She gets clearly annoyed and breezes through the pedicure. To be fair her cleaning was pretty ok. So now, I'm excited for the little massage that I am paying extra for. She puts a pump of lotion in her hands and rubs it on my feet and legs. She basically rubs it in for a total of 15 seconds and then gets up and walks away. I'm trying to give this lady the benefit of doubt. No. She comes back with hot towels and wipes the lotion off my legs and says nothing and gets up and leaves. Umm. What? Ok. Whatever. At least I'm going to have a nice fresh set on my hands. My tech took a while and kept being distracted by her phone and the owner. She finally gets to the painting. Shes not paying attention and painted one had with 2 coats of color and the other with 3. I start really looking at my nails. All of them are different length and nail shapes. She didnt even compare the right and left fingers to make sure they were the same on each side. I have Sharp corners on some nails and rounded on others. She didn't drill my natural nails underneath or add glue, none of my nails have the nice 'straight' file across that comes with a coffin shape. At this point I'm amused and debating a 2 star or 3 for this review. She tells me I'm done. No one helps me put my flip flops on. Or even hands them to me. I walk to the front to pay. I am expecting 30 for the joke of a pedicure and 30 for the fill. The owner goes to reach for my cards WITHOUT telling me what I owe. I ask her what the total is. "$83" she says. "83 for what" I say. The fill. And the gel and you have long nails. Long nails? You're charging me for the length of my preexisting set? Literally the worst nail experience I have had in about 10 years. A total rip off for absolutely nothing. The saddest thing is that the last salon I went to in Diamond bar was AMAZING. And because of the terrible job this lady did, I'm going to either have to cut them down to a stub, or take them off and put on a new set. Biggest waste of money, terrible experience, I literally have nothing good to say about this place except it was clean. read more

My nail stylist added chrome finishing and copied the flower design well. The salon has a friendly atmosphere.

I came across this nail salon hoping to find availability on a late Friday afternoon close to home. I've been in this shopping center multiple times and had no idea there was a nail salon on the corner with much parking. That was my first . I was immediately greeted by the friendly front desk and seated. Two women, Michelle - (nail dip gel) and Amy- (pedicure) were the two technicians I was assigned to who immediately came to my station- there was no wait- second I've been to several nail salons in my life with some overpriced with a more lavish ambiance and good technicians, and some more affordable but either the location was sketchy or the technicians weren't as skilled. The reason why I'm even posting this is because of the great "experience" I received overall. There was a woman dressed in a gorgeous yellow gown who was attentive to the clients. and the employees. Some of the clients seemed to know her which led me to believe these were returning clients. I learned she was the owner and it was her birthday. You can tell everyone was in a happy mood because she made it fun. She allowed them to be themselves- they even played the happy birthday song for her which everyone sang along.. including the clients. Then came the "club dance" song where all the technicians laughed and sang along -I'm guessing it was in Vietnamese. My pedicure technician even jumped up and started dancing which totally made everyone laugh and smile! The clients also seemed to enjoy themselves. -I know I certainly did. Third And yes, they both did a fabulous job with my nails and toes! Two more While I know this may have been a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to experience so much joy in a nail salon, I'll certainly look to returning again, perhaps another birthday will be celebrated. At least a sing along or dance. Thanks for the joyful experience! read more

Went to get my nails done for my birthday. I scheduled a last minute appointment the night before and got a response promptly the same night. There must've been a mix up but they called me the next day and stating they were booked at the slot I selected. But they had an appointment available shortly after my original request. It worked out for me as I was able to do my hair prior to going to the appointment. I was greeted right away and Vicki my nail tech was ready for me at the front desk. Vicki was very kind and talented. She gave me exactly what I wanted and I love my nails. I would definitely come back again. read more

It was my first time at Esprit. I chose to do my nails with Lani because of the great reviews about her. She did a great job with my nails (photo). She's very busy though because a lot of people seem to be asking for her and I waited half an hour, but it looks like it was a one time thing because of a delay with the prior client. She's very attentive to you though when it comes your turn and very thorough with the manicure. I accidentally messed my thumbnail on my way out and she redid it for me. Jenny, the owner is super sweet and makes sure you're satisfied. Overall, nice customer service! read more

Recently moved to the area and of course there are nail salons all over the place, but this one is the closest to home and had decent reviews so wanted to give it a try. Called around 11:15am on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised when I was offered an appointment at noon. Sat in a chair and Elle immediately started setting up my pedicure. Another pleasant surprise as Mimi came and started working on my manicure at the same time. I felt pampered and although the salon was clearly busy with lots of walk-ins I never felt rushed. They both took their time and I really enjoyed the perk of the massage included in the sea breeze package. The lady at the desk (the owner?) was friendly and welcoming when I arrived, and she seemed to be constantly checking that all the clients were doing okay. The staff all seem to work well together as there was a lot of chatting and laughing while she was walking around. Giving four stars for now until I see how my nails hold up for the next couple weeks thank you to Elle and Mimi read more

I was a little nervous coming in since it was my first time getting my nails done, period. My friend (who is a woman) and I both got mani-pedis. I didn't have any expectations going in. I won't lie and say I wasn't at least a tiny bit nervous that I'd be judged since I'm a dude--though I'm very happy to say that was quite the opposite case! I was very impressed with how friendly the staff was and the quality of the end result. The salon itself is very clean and conducive to a relaxing "treat-yourself" type of day. I would definitely come back and get my nails done again sometime in the future. Shoutout again to the staff and owner for making my first experience a great one! read more

*The manager (Jenny) she was very rude... Terrible costumers service * I came here for a full set of acrylics, and the lady that was doing my nails was very nice, but the acrylic was super thin and the gel polish didn't even cover all of the nail. After about 5 days 2 of my nails fell . After a weeks another nail fell and another one was about to fall. I came back in a weekend and asked for repair. she ( linh) was told me they are super busy and you have to come back in week and talk to manager for repair Really? I called them and talked to manager ( Jenny)she was very rude and defensive, she told me that there's nothing they can do ... IT was worse experience ever. Don't trust good reviews.
