So I walked in and didn't know what to expect...but let me tell you...BEST SERVICE EVER! Vy was the one that did my nails. She educated me on what the difference between Gel X was and a regular acrylic nails. She did an amazing job and she even gave me a cute little design on my finger to represent St. Patrick's day! Yen was amazing and sweet! I loved how gentle and considerate she was with taking care of me. And it's been a while since I got my toes done. I love the vibes and connection I had with both Yen and Vy. Thank you ladies for everything! read more

House of Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Brea, California

This was my third time going to House of Nails, and unfortunately it will be my last. I took my sister there for her birthday so we could both get new nail sets and pedicures, but the experience was very disappointing from the moment we arrived. I had specifically scheduled my new set with Amy when I made the appointment four days in advance. However, when we got there, it became clear that she had been double-booked, and there was confusion from the very beginning about who was supposed to do my nails. For a service that was booked several days ahead of time, I expected things to be much more organized. I made an appointment for two full sets and two pedicures at 5:30 PM. When we arrived, they had us sit at the pedicure stations and started on our nails. My sister was able to get her pedicure while her nails were being done, but I was told to wait for another pedicure technician to finish with a client. What was especially frustrating was that the front desk employee knew we had appointments for two pedicures. When a pedicure technician became available, instead of taking me as scheduled, she assigned that technician to a customer who had just walked in. Even though I had an appointment and had already been waiting, I was passed over and forced to wait even longer. By the time I finally got my pedicure, my nails were already finished. The same technician who did my nails then rushed through my pedicure, and it felt like it was completed in about five minutes. It definitely was not worth the price or the wait. Speaking of price, I was also shocked by how much more expensive everything was compared to what was advertised online. I was charged $75 for builder gel alone, which I found excessive and much higher than I expected based on the salon's advertised pricing. The lack of transparency about pricing made the experience even more frustrating. I don't understand the point of making an appointment days in advance if the technician is double-booked and walk-in customers are prioritized over scheduled appointments. The lack of organization, poor customer service, rushed work, and unexpected pricing completely ruined what was supposed to be a special birthday outing for my sister. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon based on my experience. read more

We found this place by chance and decided to check it out. Made an appointment and showed up on time, waited just a few minutes to get seated. Appointment was for two adults and one 9 year old girl. They did a good job on our nails, but it was more expensive than the prices we saw on line. They didn't even offer us the kids price. I had to question the pricing since it was almost $160 for one acrylic fill and two manicures, so they gave me the "first time customer" discount. It seemed a little bit subjective on their part... Although they did a good job, we will probably go somewhere else since it was pricier than most other places we usually go to. read more

I did a last minute walk-in and they were able to fit me in, which I appreciated. My technician was Vivian and I asked for a simple gel pedicure. I showed her a reference photo of the taupe color I wanted, and she said she would mix colors to match it. Unfortunately, the final color turned out light pink and looked very different from the reference photo. During the pedicure, I was also hurt a couple of times and it seemed like there wasn't much care or gentleness afterwards. When I mentioned that the color didn't look like what I asked for, Vivian became defensive and frustrated. She offered to restart it, but I didn't have enough time to redo the entire service. The polish application was also uneven. I was disappointed that although the front desk staff could tell I wasn't happy with the result, no alternative solution or offer for a future redo was provided. Overall, this was not the experience I was expecting. read more

First time going there for a gel/dip manicure. They are under new management so I got 15% off my visit. Sat with Amy and she was just the best! Professional and funny. So many colors to choose from which I love. The place is clean and I'm eager to get in those pedicure chairs next time. Oh did I mention they offer free drinks with service?! Amy is my go to gal and I love her work. Thanks everyone!!! read more

I decided to give this place a second try because my first visit was a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, today was the complete opposite from the moment I walked in. As the customer, if I request short nails with an ombré design, (which is exactly what I received the first time)that is what I am choosing to pay for. Instead of listening, Tina repeatedly told me what I "should" get rather than what I asked for. She was rude from the start and spoke about me to others, assuming I wouldn't understand. I absolutely did. In the end, she was unable to execute what I requested. My nails were uneven in size and width, the ombré was not done, and even the polish application was uneven. When I asked to speak to the manager, Tina became louder and more disrespectful, to the point that another employee had to step in.I have never been treated so unprofessionally in a salon. I remained patient and composed throughout the interaction, but no customer deserves that level of disrespect. Sadly, I will not be returning! read more

I really like this salon. I've had two gel pedicures and two gel manicures and I've been very happy with my nails each time. The techs really take their time, I never feel rushed, and everyone is so polite and sweet. I like the open layout and the quiet atmosphere. read more

Nail techs don't speak English at all so it was really hard to understand her or her I. I asked the lady working on my hands if she had experience with manicures & she just kept saying ok. I explained I was asking because I have a phobia of blood & cannot get cut. She saying ok ok CUT ME & didn't even apologize until I brought it up! I paid too much for a half ass manicure with Cuts & a pedicure. Didn't tip the rude manicurist and I'm sure they talked about me as I waited but learn your lesson lady DONT CUT YOUR CUSTOMERS & BE NICE! HUGE THUMBS DOWN FOR THIS PLACE read more

Came here on a last minute day off. They were able to take me within 30 mins after I called. Sandy from the phone call to entry of the salon was so sweet. She reassured me that even the most bitten of nails were able to be worked on and made me feel at ease. She made sure I was comfortable and hydrated. Offering drink options. Tess did my gelx set in short almond. She was quick and clean with her work. Anna did my pedicure, same color as my gelx nails, and she was just as efficient. I was able to come in and leave in a little over an hour. I'll definitely be back for a fill. read more

I have been coming here for quite some time. It used to be a different name now it's under new ownership... The girls here are magnificent. The lady who does my nails is Vy, and my pedicures are done by Helen.. They're both highly trained and quick. Vy is very good! She does a great job and she does not talk a lot... She gets her job done, but she does it every single time 100% to my satisfaction, and I'm pretty picky... read more

First time here and won't be my last. Tee worked on my nails and she was so knowledgeable (she has over 2 decades of experience). I've gone to so many other salons near the area and have never left feeling satisfied. Not only did Tee suggest a hard gel to strengthen my brittle nails, she also took her time and made sure my nails come out flawless. I am so happy that I have finally found my go-to nail salon and technician. Thank you Tee and to Tan, front desk associate. She was the sweetest. Gel color #2455 Mastermind. I love how natural, healthy, and polished my nails came out!!! read more

I got a gel manicure with Jenny and she did a great job! Super happy with the result. The tools she used were in the sanitized packaging which I really appreciate as so many nail salons don't sanitize for each costumer. I will be returning. read more

Love my nails!! Love the staff! They are super kind!! Very clean inside!! Thank you again Jenny!

I absolutely loved my experience at House of Nails! The ladies here are super friendly -- from the front desk to the nail techs, everyone made me and my best friend feel so welcome. I'm very picky when it comes to my nails (shape, design, everything), but Jenny was so patient and understanding! She let me communicate exactly what I wanted and even fixed little details without hesitation. My nails turned out perfect! Vee did such an amazing job with my best friend's hands and wax, and Tina gave us one of the best pedicures we've ever had. The whole atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of positive vibes. If you're looking for a place that truly listens and cares about making you happy, definitely come by and show them some love! We left feeling so happy and taken care of. read more

I've been coming to this nail salon for about 8 years, it was previously Zara nails. The new owners are making some very nice changes to the salon. My go to person is Ana. She's amazing and very detailed oriented. My nails always look great because of her! She's super nice and funny too! Tons of nail polish colors, gel and regular. Give them a try! Very nice manager and they give you sparkling water while you're there! read more

Please save your money and time and take your business elsewhere. I trusted the reviews saying new management is great, but I was very disappointed with my experience. Jenny did my nails. Having just moved to the area, I was hopeful about finding a new reliable salon. I requested a Gel X manicure, and I was seated quickly. I picked a color, then after a short time looking, the nail tech told me they didn't have it and told me to pick another. Disappointed, I chose a different color. Upon taking off my old polish and attending to my nail beds underneath, Jenny was not gentle. She buffed, and buffed, and buffed my nails to the point where I was flinching because it hurt. She noticed, but kept going. She did not take care of my cuticles or cut my real nails evenly. I was left with bright red nails when I had asked for a reddish-pink, sore nail beds, and almond shape when I asked for round. She also used WAY too much glue which was caked on and clumped underneath each nail. The worst part was when I went to pay, I asked for the first time customer discount, and my manicure was still over $70. I get my nails done regularly, and have NEVER paid that much. Today I went to a completely different nail salon in Anaheim because I simply wanted to be happy with my expensive manicure. They fixed the shape of my nails, took time to give me the color and shape I wanted, fixed up my cuticles, and confirmed that the previous nail tech used way too much glue. When they asked me what I paid, they were shocked. They actually laughed and said I was way overcharged. Not only did they comp my manicure, but told me their regular pricing for a Gel X manicure is $33. I will not be returning as a regular customer to this establishment. I am someone who is typically easy to please, which is why I didn't say anything about my experience yesterday. What could've been regular business on my behalf at House of Nails will simply not be the case. read more

I thought I would give this place another try since it was under new management. The staff was so accommodating and very friendly. I decided to get a gel manicure. I was very pleased with the preparation of my nails; pushing back my cuticles, getting rid of the hang nails and dry skin around my nail bed. Yen paid attention to every detail. Definitely coming back so I booked an appointment before Thanksgiving. Thank you so much. read more
