    Screenshots of our Instagram DMs confirming the design & quoted time (2.5 hours)
    Alisha M.

    I gave this salon another chance after previous booking frustrations because the nail quality itself can be beautiful. Unfortunately, this experience confirmed the same underlying issues. I initially reached out via Instagram DM asking about Thursday or Friday availability for a hard gel manicure and pedicure with a detailed design (charms, individual art on each nail). I sent the inspiration photo in advance and specifically asked which service to book and how long it would take to ensure enough time was scheduled. I was told this type of design would be better suited for Monday at 2pm with a specific artist. Shortly after, they asked if I could instead come in earlier at 10am on Monday, and I said yes Before confirming, I asked how long the design would take. I was told approximately 2.5 hours max with the design. The morning of my appointment, I let them know I was running about 10 minutes late. When I arrived and showed the exact same inspo photo that had already been approved, the nail tech informed me there wouldn't be enough time because she had another client at 12pm. From 10am to 12pm is not 2.5 hours, even accounting for me being 10/15 minutes late. So the issue wasn't lateness. The issue was that the appointment was never scheduled for the full time they themselves quoted. I tried to adjust and offered to simplify the design to just one accent nail with the gems from the inspo photo. I was then told they didn't have the gems needed. This was frustrating because the photo had been sent in advance specifically to confirm feasibility. If certain materials weren't available, that should have been communicated before booking. To clarify, I even asked whether the earlier 10am slot they moved me to was actually appropriate for this design, because it didn't seem aligned with the original 2.5-hour estimate. The nail tech did attempt to offer the option of coming back later or adjusting, which I appreciated. However, when the front desk staff stepped in to "resolve" the situation, the tone shifted entirely. Instead of taking accountability or offering a real solution, she repeatedly blamed another staff member for the booking error, was dismissive, and did not provide any apology or meaningful resolution. There was no attempt to make it right ,just deflection This is now multiple experiences involving poor scheduling coordination, lack of preparation, and no ownership when mistakes happen. The nail work can be good. But communication, booking accuracy, and professionalism matter just as much, especially at this price point. Based on repeated experiences, I unfortunately cannot recommend this salon

    Hard gel Russian manicure

    This was my first time visiting, and I was completely impressed by everything: not only is the environment, welcoming, calm, and upscale, but I was greeted with an offer of tea or water and enjoyed the house vibes music playing. Now that I have tried a Russian manicure I can never go back to doing any other manicure. They really deep clean your cuticles so the manicure looks perfect. The treatments are soothing and I am in love with how it turned out. The longevity of the manicure is significantly longer than any others and I am truly happy with the outcome.

    Tried out Klou for the first time and I must say they're professionalism, and high-quality work speaks for itself. You pay for what you get. If you like perfection and immaculate attention to detail, this is your new spot! I started my journey with having natural nails, and I will never look back. Book now. Thank me later.

    Chipped on the side

    I really wanted to like this place but it fell short many times. I've gotten Russian manicure in the past that have lasted me 4 weeks with no chips or cracking. I got a total of 4 manicures here / 2 pedis and each time they have cracked or just chipped within the first week of getting them done. When I could get them fixed they would say oh it's because they're long.... Aren't you the nail professional here? They care more about salon aesthetic and uniforms but not actual nail quality. I even went with the owner Katya and still they managed to crack and chip. Needless to say for $200+ I'd expect much stronger nails. Also one time I had to go in to get my nail fixed ($15) and the nail lady was so passive and felt like it was a burden to do the work ahaha stay so far away from here. I don't use my hands much so it was pretty disappointing for my nails to break so easily. Not to mention, the seats at the manicure table are uncomfortable. Edit/ they tried to hide my review for spam so I added some of the bank statements..I wish I was joking but try and stay away from this place.

    Great service and quality work. I know it's more expensive than your typical mani/ pedi but it is worth it.

    Christina at Chateau Luxe is truly amazing! I am so happy I found her!…read moreI am spending the summer in Newport Beach and desperately needed a lash artist while away from home. I was instantly sold after reading the many wonderful reviews about Christina and her lash artistry. Christina was incredibly patient and helpful, taking a lot of time to answer all of my questions and explain the different lashing options she offers. I was incredibly impressed with how knowledgeable she is. She is even more bubbly and sweet in person than she is over text/email. The studio is gorgeous and Christina genuinely made me feel so comfortable from the moment I arrived. Most importantly, my lashes look beautiful! I could not be happier! I cannot wait to try her other services (facials) next! I was blown away by her work and her pricing as well. She does amazing lashes for an incredibly reasonable cost in my opinion. Especially in comparison to how outrageously expensive everything is in OC, primarily beauty-related services! I highly recommend Christina and Chateau Luxe to anyone looking for gorgeous lash extensions in SoCal, she is a doll!

    Christina is simply the best lash artist ever! She's also a rock star human :) Trust me when I say…read morethat you can count on Christina to be gentle, professional, on time, understanding and to work so hard to work with your needs and give you the lashes you'll love. Seriously I can't say enough about how much we appreciate her services and sweet personality!

    White Feather Lashes is the only lash studio I trust and recommend…read more Hailey has been doing my lashes for years -- I genuinely refer to her as a magician. She consistently gives me beautiful, balanced fills while still prioritizing the health of my natural lashes. I'm not the easiest client to work on because of my uneven eyelids, but she never disappoints. I've had bad experiences at other studios with poor retention, excessive glue, and damage to my natural lashes, so I really appreciate how honest, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented this team is. During Hailey's maternity leave, Diamond and Nhi both took great care of me. The entire team genuinely cares about quality work and the overall health of your lashes. I'll never go anywhere else.

    As beautiful as their name itself! White Feather Lashes is the most beautiful lash extension store…read moreI've been to in Orange County. It just feels like you are getting pampered right when you walk into a well managed facility, with beautiful decor and professional service. I made the appointment online through their website. They followed up via text message up until appointment day. The whole procedure was done so effortlessly, I dozed off lol. The best part is waking up to a set of beautiful lashes. I got the mega fill. Since my lashes were foreign, we worked with what we could. They still came out beautiful! I think once the old lashes fall out, they will look even better. My lash artist advised me to get a new set if they don't fall out by next session. And I will definitely be back next time. The man up front also explained after care and upcoming appointments with me. He not only gave me lash brushes, but a protector in case I need to take a shower before 24 hours. It's always the little details I appreciate. Most importantly, the lashes look like high quality. Hopefully the retention will be good, but so far, I am loving it here!
