I love Carol. She always does the best job with my nails. I stopped in randomly one day and now she is my favorite read more

Got a pedicure using ClassPass PROS (giving one star for each): -Carol was very sweet and friendly -put on color well (better than some other reviews I saw) CONS: -not a great color selection (I was getting regular color, not gel) -used the regular long nail file used on my toenails to exfoliate my feet...what?! -used tools that weren't brand new, which I get, not all places can do that. But I also didn't see where they went when she was done and if they were getting sterilized for the next use?? THE MASSAGE (which is my favorite part) could have been done better by my 1.5 year old. Barely any salt scrub used and she mixed in little water so it was just scrapping against my dry skin and she barely went above my ankle. Then she rinsed that off and used a hot stone on my dry skin. So it wasn't even smooth as it rubbed across my skin (usually the lotion comes before that). Then she put about a dimes worth of lotion on my shins and just rubbed it in on the front of my leg in about two swipes, and that was the end of that. Wouldn't come back even if it was free.. read more

I ended up here because my friend bought a Groupon for a mani pedi. The good: the ladies are so nice and welcoming. The bad: the polish was sloppy and the lady I got filed my nails so much that I have tenderness around my cuticles. She also filed my skin so much she cut me. Overall: You definitely get what you pay for. I would suggest to stay away. read more

My cousin and I got a mani/pedi here today. They don't take any pride in their work AT ALL. I even had to ask her to even my toe nails out-she was going to paint them at different lengths. Both of our gel toes were super messy and they painted on the skin too. Some parts of the nail didn't have polish (my pinky toe). When my cousin was getting her pedicure, they washed her feet with a scrub (free) and she had to pay extra ($5) for them to exfoliate as well. For my pedicure, she forgot to wash and scrub my feet so she ended up doing that AFTER she painted my toes. I don't get how they can forget a "routine" they should know, since it's their job. One of my fingers is bleeding after the manicure... My cousin's acrylics are SUPER messy. Mine were too. Also, they are SUPER pushy. After she asked how I liked them, I addressed how poorly they did andthey ignored my comment completely. Definitely wouldn't come back again or even think about recommending them. read more

Got an awesome manicure from here! Acrylic fill and paint from Tiffany. It was so great! She took time to manually file and shape my nails perfect. Love them so much and lasted weeks! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! read more

I purchased a Groupon for this salon. A great deal for a pedicure and a gel manicure for two people. It was my first time using Groupon so I didn't know how it worked and when I came in and told them that I had a Groupon the staff acted very rude when I didn't know how to show them the proof on Groupon. They were overall a bit rude to myself and my friend who came along. The pedicure was good though and the lady who did the pedicure was very sweet to me. The worst part of the experience was that the gel manicure cracked within about a day or two. It looks like maybe a thinning agent had been added and compromised the integrity of the polish. I had to take them off a few days afterwards and it really wasn't worth the money. My friend who came along didn't have a similar problem tho so I think they only added the thinning agent to some of the polishes. read more

2nd time here and still very satisfied! I got a gel manicure, she does a very good job and pretty quick too! Will definitely be coming back when I'm around! read more

I just moved to the area and decided to check this nail salon out. I just walked in and sat right down, no wait. $30 for classic manicure/pedicure and lots of other options and pricing! They have gel and lots of colors too! I definitely recommend this salon, I was in and out so quick and it looks great! read more

Lily's Nails - Quick & easy manicure/ pedicure $30! - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place is a hole in the wall I was worried when we entered because right away you can tell it'll be very basic, but I was hopeful. My mom found them on Groupon... they honored the groupon price. They tried up selling me the whole time but I guess I don't blame them. Day 1- already a chipped nail and I got gel manicure- day 2, 2chipped nails.... won't be back I'd rather pay double and get a quality mani pedi read more

Thank you soooo much! I literally had the THICKEST, UGLIEST set of acrylic nails on from another salon and I had spent all day trying to remove them (unsuccessfully). I came in, you were patient and gentle and finally...FINALLY the offensive hideous acrylics were gone! Got a gel polish manicure, it's beautiful, I love it and it's all because of your salon! Side Notes -superior products -super clean -sanitized/new equipment -friendly and accommodating -fair pricing read more

My best friend got a 2 for 1 groupon deal and wanted to treat me for my birthday. When we arrived the older woman immediately asked if my best friend was going to tip cash or card. We weren't even seated yet and she was already talking about a tip. That was flag NUMBER ONE! When she did my pedicure it was rushed! She didn't turn on my massage chair, she didn't put lotion on my feet, the infamous "hot stone" was a QUICK rub down, and she didn't apply a top coat on my toe nails. When I sat to get my "gel manicure," she filed my nails uneven and proceeded to paint them. I had to stop her and ask her to refile my nails so they were even. The paint job was messy and the entire experience was rushed and the quality of their polish is TERRIBLE. A gel manicure should last longer than a week! My nails began to chip a few days later and so did my toe nails. It's obvious the older woman runs the store, but just because she's the boss doesn't mean she has to rush her services, be SLOPPY, and discuss tips before I can even pick my nail color. My best friend spent a lot of money for a terrible experience. We're NEVER going back. read more

I gave three stars because my pedi looks decent and because they were nice and accommodating. Also, they use disposable pedicure tub liners, which should be standard but isn't in all salons. Tools didn't come out of surgical pouches, though. For this place, 3 stars is pretty accurate. My Mani was crazy-fast and rushed. I kid you not, probably a 10 minute manicure start to finish... maybe the reason the gel is uneven and thick? I ended up with a nice color, after first being told I didn't want that color by my tech. (What?!) But she worked with me to get to the hue and sparkle I wanted. Mind you, it was a basic 2 coats of pink with clear/sparkly polish over. I appreciate that they did try to make it the 'best it could be'. But I'd say my manicure is 2 stars out of 5. My big issue is the tech clipped off a chunk of the end of my thumb that had some paint on it. I'd say, try the polish remover next time? I told her immediately it hurt and she went in again, I told her that a little paint was fine. She stopped and walked away. Good Lord....she came at me a few minutes later and wanted to do it some more. I was firm that time that she already almost made me bleed and it was ok. She said it was because my fingers were dry and that's why it hurt. No, my fingers are dry because they were dipped in acetone then abrasively and rigorously filed all over. Honestly, I kind of wish she was that obsessive about the paint job she did in record-breaking time. Also, oddly, I was moved to another chair as I was occupying it for the next customer who hadn't arrived yet. There were at least 2 more chairs available. I moved without issue - because it wasn't one - but truly felt like I was "in the way" and unimportant. Wasn't offered a drink of water while I waited for my friend to finish her mani-pedi, since hers took the normal time to finish. Just felt used and in their way of making more money. Went because there was a Groupon and they said they'd honor it but not to buy the Groupon and just pay there. With very similar stories of our poor end results today, we won't be returning. read more

Lily's Nails - Left with less than I came with! Piece of my finger that was chopped off. Also, check out that super thick gel polish job ;) - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I came in from out of town for a $33 mani pedi Groupon price that the woman honored in store. It was a slow Wednesday mid-morning, so she was the only one working and I was the only customer. She gave me all of her attention, going back and forth between my hands and feet, making sure I was comfortable the whole time. I'm from out of town, so we chit chatted, she gave me the TV remote and a magazine, and was very meticulous with my mani-pedi. She did a great job and the entire experience, including tip, ended up being only $48!! That's a great price, at least where I'm from. She even helped me fill my water bottle with alkaline water before I left and gave me details on the cafe/store next door. Great service! read more

Lily's Nails - Gel manicure - "Pink Kiss" - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I found this place from a groupon and thought I'd try it out. I Took a friend with me to celebrate a big weekend and was highly disappointed. Here's why: 1. It was not relaxing AT ALL! Please don't have your customers cross their arms so that you can sit comfortably but leave your clients in an awkward position. I'm literally 8months pregnant and was super uncomfortable the entire time. I made mention of it... but I suppose it didn't matter. We called in advance to see if they did hand massages they said "yes" but they literally threw oil on my hand and left it. Not even close to a massage. 2. We were almost finished and a new person walked in, they made my friend move out of the seat next to me so that the new person could sit there. They had 3 other chairs open so I'm not sure why. 3. After my friends nails were "done" there was a lot of paint still on the sides of her nails, and she asked if they could take it off and the lady responded, "when you wash your hands it will come off" - are you kidding me?! Also- the bathroom was disgusting and the place is cluttered. read more

I have my own nail lady I go to in Huntington Beach who I adore so I will forever stay loyal to her. My grandma however will only go to Lily's Nails. She's older and has her routines. I decided to go with her and just got a manicure. It's just regular polish and I'll probably take it off in a couple days but it was only 15 bucks. The main reason I gave 4 stars was for their customer service. All the girls are super sweet. Of course, they'll try to up sell you what place in sales doesn't? Let's be real there's plenty of nail salons around and some of them are hurting. I'm just thankful they take care of my grandma and she enjoys her time there. I do suggest if you go there, bring your own polish. They seem to need to replace some of their polishes. They are slow if you want mani and pedi they only do one thing at once, which my grandma loves so plan ahead. I would go back for a quick polish before a night out In an emergency. but we all have our specific places. I'd never leave my sweet girl who knows me. read more

I love this place, especially because they have organic nail polish. Had such a good manicures and pedicure. Very clean

When it's pouring out and you start to go stir crazy it's a perfect time to get your nails did. My mom and I made a random visit to this salon since it was open and was able to accommodate both of us for a gel mani and pedi. Both Tiffany and Casey were very sweet and took their time. Def. worth checking out if u need a good mani/pedi. read more

Glad I came here!! My nails were looking soo bad! They took care of me, massaged me, and even used hot stones on my feet?! After working hard all day, this is all a woman can ask for.. I will definitely be coming back! (ASK FOR TIFFANY!!! She took the time to pamper my toes and did a wonderful job with everything! She even gave me a hot stone massage on my poor feet!) read more

Got my nails done on Wednesday for a party I was having on Saturday. By Friday night I was missing two nails, and three others were hanging on by a thread. I came back Saturday night and she did them all again, just to lose another one Sunday night. I lost nails kissing my husband, and reaching into my purse. She tried to tell me that it was my hands. There is a reason this place is empty. Crap job, rude service. Go Literally anywhere else. read more

I took the honey here for her birthday present. I was recommended by a coworker. Overall, the place is not too shabby and the price is definitely reasonable. We were very well treated and the job was very nicely done too. Goal was to make my honey happy. They accomplished that mission. I'm now a happy man too. Thank you Lily. read more

Tried this place only because my regular nail lady is on her maternity leave. The lady didn't speak much English and had infomercial on TV the whole time. She was quick, prompt, and nice. Service was ok. But tip of my gel nail started peeling only 3 days after I got them done... read more

Thank you for the pleasant time and good service provided to me and my mother this week. Competitive prive, friendly professionals and easy parking. The stone pedi massage was tge best! We got gel and regular. read more

Elizabeth did my nails today. I love this shop and she is adorable. I've been to many shops in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area and they all do ok but what makes every experience special is the person, not just the service. Elizabeth is amazingly caring, fun and made my nails look gorgeous! Tip her big. read more

I hate to leave a negative review but this place didn't leave me with anything positive to say. My sister got a white gel manicure and when she was done her nails were pink and uneven. (She is younger so she didn't speak up about the color) my lady cut off part of my finger, didn't do any type of manicure, just poorly painted my uneven nails. Towards the end I asked for the nail polish and painted them myself because they were so bad. Went home and bought nail polish remover to take it off. Really would not recommend. read more

Lily's Nails - Cut part of my finger off :/ - Nail Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The ladies here were so accommodating they were able to fit me into their fully-booked schedule. I wear my nails short so had no nails to begin with. She offered the fake nails but I can't do anything with them on so she had to spend quite some time working an illusion with the ones I have. Vicky did a fabulous job! Look at my new and extended nails! read more

Okay, I bought a groupon for 2 people to get mani pedis here... The girl I got was nice but the broad my best friend got rushed and made her feel uncomfortable.

The last 2 times I've come here I've asked for a regular fill and gel was done. Even after I said no. And then they try to charge me $30 for a fill instead of the $16 it should be. They're nice enough but I don't like how they do things just to make more money. I will be looking elsewhere read more

This place is an amazing!!!! I highly recommend to all to come here. It is not only clean but they offer spa chairs which is a must for me. They don't rush through the pedicure and manicures but actually take the time to do my nails which is appreciated. The nail technicians are super friendly and are not pushy with extra services. I love the end result ..,my nails look great. Honestly, I have been to many nail salons and this place is now my new favorite. If you need a nail salon, please look no where else! You won't regret it. Ask for Tiffany and Rosa ...they are awesome. read more

Carol does a great job shaping manicure nails and is careful with gel polish application. The polish held up longer than any other salon I've been to previously. Good selection of colors for gel nails. My first visit was through Groupon, and I returned yesterday due to the good quality. The salon is small, appointment is a good idea. Parking isn't a problem. Price for gel removal is $5. Gel mani is $19. read more

This place is awful! If I could give negative stars, I would. The woman who did my nails was super rude. She was very rough with my nails even after I told her she was hurting me. Very unprofessional as I told her that my nails were not even turning out right and asked if she could fix them, she did not. VERY dissatisfied with this place. I will never come here again. Have to get my nails done again tomorrow since they look awful! read more

Tiffany, was wonderful. She took plenty of time to massage and my nails look terrific. She was gracious and efficient. The room was quiet and the procedure was very relaxing. I will definitely go back. read more

I had great experience here. Great prices, clean, friendly staff. Took their time and did a great job. I found my new go to nail spot since omelette parlor closed along with the nail spot next door. They didn't have the new opi gel but they have glitter tip acrylics my daughter(22) loves. I also got my lip and brows waxed, she did a great job as well. Super satisfied customer, the new owners took over a couple months ago, never been before, definitely going back!!! read more

Rude and crappy work. For real I've gone to cheaper places and they do way better work. Made an appointment and anyone else that walked in was promised short wait times that turned into 30+ minutes. Really don't come here, worth it to really research your nail salon. read more
