I have come to the The Nail Company a couple of times and always thought they should work on their customer service but I kind of overlooked that because they do a nice job. But the last time I was there, I told the lady doing my nails that I needed my nails short for work and she rolled her eyes at me! So rude! It's not like I was asking for something unreasonable, at least I thought so, but after that I stopped coming here and started going to Happy Nails, also in Seal Beach. Recently I got a gift certificate for my birthday to come here so I did. I came to get a pedicure and to get my acrylics filled. I got there at 2:40PM because I had work at 4:15 and was going to go straight from the nail place to work. I waited a few minutes and then someone started on my pedicure. I assumed that they were going to do my nails at the same time. But they didn't. My pedicure was almost done and at 3:15 someone comes over and starts on my nails. I told them I needed to be leaving by 4 at the latest and they said they couldn't fill my acrylics in that time so I was kind of annoyed by that. So I ended up just having to take my acrylics off and I just got a gel manicure which looks really nice. So I'm happy about that. One weird thing though. The lady who greeted people when they come in looked at my gift card weird and later asked me when my mom bought the gift card that she gave me for my birthday. And I was like I don't know? I don't go shopping with my mom when she is shopping for me. Haha, that kind of defeats the purpose of surprising someone with birthday presents. But anyway, the best part about this place is that they have you sign the package that the clean utensils come in. That shows how clean they are which is very important. Cleanliness is so incredibly crucial at nail salons. Also important, my gel manicure looks nice and so do my toes. So I'm happy. The ladies who work there were friendlier than usual. IMPORTANT SIDENOTE LADIES/GENTLEMEN: When you are getting a pedicure, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT let them cut your cuticles, only let them push the cuticles back. Otherwise you can get a terrible foot infection. At Select Nail House in Seal Beach, the lady giving me my pedicure cut my cuticles so deep that I had I ended up getting a foot infection in BOTH FEET. I tried home remedies but nothing worked so I had to go to the doctor and get antibiotics since my 2 big toes were red and oozing puss (sorry to be graphic) but I don't want this happening to anyone else. It was painful, gross, and made me learn the hard way to NEVER EVER let the manicurist cut your cuticles especially deep the way the lady did to me. My doctor advised me to only let them push the cuticles back, not cut them. read more

Good service. Very clean. Sometimes they don't listen to instructions though. read more

See all

Let me start by saying if I could give less than one star I would. I have been to this nail salon at least twice a month since I moved to the area about 6 months ago and I have always had good service but today I experienced quite possibly the worse customer service of my life. I was receiving a gel manicure that was almost done when I looked and noticed it was streaky, so I asked my manicurist if she could put an extra coat on to correct it. At that point she informed me that an extra coat would make it chip easier so I said it was fine then, I didn't want my nails to chip. As I removed my other hand from the gel nail machine, one of my nails smudged a little so to correct that, the manicurist put another coat on the smudged nail. I then asked her if that one was going to chip easier than all the other, streaky, nails and she told me that was the quickest way to fix it. A few moments later, she decided to remove the gel polish from the smudged nails, so then I asked her to just take it all off because I was unhappy. It was at this point in my visit that Lena, the family member of the owner who appeared to be the manager for the day, joined into the conversation i was having with my manicurist. Instead of assuring me that It was not a problem and offering to fix my nails, she looked at them and said to me "as a manicurist, these nails look fine". As a customer, that was paying for their services, I was unhappy and wanted my nails fixed, but Lena never once apologized or offered to do that. After receiving my new manicure, I was about ready to leave and pay, when Lena continued to argue with me about the technique of gel manicures--still never once apologizing. As I was about to leave, I asked the manicurist if she knew the name of the manager to which she, and all the other employees there, did not know. Finally Lena told me her name and I left, only to have her laugh behind my back as I walked out the door. So, if you're ever considering getting your nails done here, save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

Gave this place the benefit of the doubt again. By far worst choice I could possibly make. I really dislike this place more than I ever did before!! read more

My daughter and I popped in today to get gel nails and we were very pleased. They sat us right down and called some nail technicians from the back to come help us. They were speedy and good. Helped us pick out colors and the price was reasonable. Super glad I found them and I'll be going again. read more

pedi done by an apprentice! ..toe nails were uneven...some were too short others too long. Had gel on nails and it was all over toes..no effort to clean up my toes. No one was helping her.. very awful experience for us both! Mani was the worse! i asked for dip nails...what a mess! came in with nice nails needed a fill! the only tool the technician uses was a drill... powder every where, then Put on acetone and Cotten and let me sit for 30 minutes till toes were done and moved me to a table for the rest of the debacle! she proceeded to paint a nail, dip it in powder didn't dust it off, then when all five nails were painted and dipped but not brushed put hand in UV light...she never cleaned or adequately prepared the nails. I asked her to stop and clean off hands, said I've had dipped nail and NEVER have they been done this way... she said "that other girl she not here today" obviously a standard answere which had NOTHING to do with my concern! everyone in salon seemed to disappear. I paid and left feeling so frustrated with the entire experienc...I will never go back there! however, I'm sure the manicurist does not understand why I might have been upset. read more

I was there on Thursday 1/11 at around 4:30/ killing time while I did laundry. our 2 yr relationship is OVER!!!! I don't like writing a bad review on anyone's business however this upset me, there always friendly n nice! However today I must of upset them or the ladies I got were in a bad mood, I had 2 different ladies working on me! One completely fucking up my gel on my mani, barely gave me a massage n was upset I kept correcting her on all the messy gel polish outside my nails, really!!! She was new and kept talking in her language n giving me looks!! I'm 7 pregnant n wanted to get a mani pedi to relax. Completed opposite of relax. I hesitate to write this, I'm was trying to analyze the experience by giving it a day or two n I'm thinking, I'm pregos n hormonal yeah no my poor toes hurt!!!!!! And it's Saturday!!!! From time to time I get gel on my pedi! Well today the lady giving my pedi made my toes bleed cause she refused to uses extra acetone on my toes n decided to buffer my toes with a nail file so hard they bleed I kept saying ouch it hurst, she them when to say it's hard to remove, I said I never had that problem before, is cause u had gel n was upset she had to remove the polish...,wow really!!!! Both ladies completely rush my relaxing experience by also making it painful n rush n a shitty Mani and pedi WTF read more

This salon is in the same complex as pavilions and a bunch of other little stores. Parking is ok. When it's busy, it's hard to find parking because of the grocery store. The lady at the front desk seemed kind of rude. Speaking to her, she came off rude and short. Kind of like if you're not gonna get services done, then leave. I brushed off her attitude and ended up getting a pedicure anyways. My nail lady who did my pedicure was really nice. She was nice but I was disappointed on her quality of work being done. The whole pedicure was rushed. Nail polish I had previously on wasn't taken off completely and is showing thru the new polish. I asked her NOT to cut my cuticles and to just push them back. She ended up cutting them and I stopped her mid way and told me she needed to do it. I was irritated from there. My nail lady had me "initial" the pouch her tools came in. Basically trying to say she's using "sterile" tools on me. I knew well enough that the tools weren't sterile because the pouch has to go thru an autoclave which changes the color of the pouch with high heat to sterilize the tools. The pouch didn't change colors. I know because I work with these pouches in the medical field. But whatever. They didn't have a big selection of polish to pick from. They were very limited. If you're looking for a more up scale nail salon, this is not the place. There's not a lot of polish to pick from. They rush the service you're getting done. Probably not going to come back here for any services again. read more

I drive from my house in inglewood to come back here. I used to live close but moved for work. This is hands down the best nail salon in the area and I have tried a few. All of the ladies are great. Michelle is my favorite:) their work is fantastic!! Prices are fair too read more

I come to this spa a lot because it is close to my house and I always leave saying "this times the last time I come" because the experience is horrible. With appointment, you still wait 20-30 min to get started. All the technicians don't know what they're doing - it took an hour to get my gel off one time. They rush through manicures and painting so it never turns out well. read more

Very rude. This is not the first time. I won't come here anymore & neither is a family member. I wanted a light pink polish on my nails & for some reason, the manicurist insisted on clear or sparkle pink. My nails were jagged when I got home & the clear polish is already chipping. The pedicurist put the wrong color polish on my toes & covered it with the correct color. Super rude. I'll never come here again read more

My niece and I wanted pedicures, and this was the only place in town that could take us at the same time. Uh, what can I say? The person who did mine cut my nails bizarrely, they cut too low at the edges, and now my toes hurt two days later. My niece asked for a flower on her big toes, quite common, but the person couldn't do a flower, it was just bad dots. They tried really hard to upsell us for further items/treatments, didn't like being told no. Will not return. read more

I went there for the first time today and I will definitely be back!!! The service was fantastic and the lady that did mine took her time to do everything carefully to make sure they were good quality. I ended up messing my thumb and my index finger up because I didn't wait for them to dry and I went back and she even fixed it for free! Definitely would recommend read more

It was terrible. They didn't have the gel colors they said they did and the girl left my nails streaky. I paid 33 bucks and they ended up not even using all gel polish. Terrible. read more

I've been here a few times now and I will not be going back. Both times I've gone, they charge me for services I didn't get and didn't ask for. I got a pedicure and there was paint all around my nail which I had to fix myself. So disappointing. read more

I couldn't make to my usual place so I stopped in here for a pedi and an eyebrow wax. The pedi results were acceptable, but the eyebrow wax was sub-par. The beautician who performed the wax rushed and did not get all the hair. Also, she also told me (twice!) that I had waited too long and need to come in sooner next time. She also said I need to get my lip and sideburn done :/ Where I come from, that's just rude. read more

I been coming here for years, Kelly and Michelle make this place the best, both very friendly, and caring, I keep coming here just because of them read more

I realize I've been a loyal fan of Nail and Spa Co. for over five years and have always had a wonderful experience. I love relaxing in the massage chairs and they recently got all new ones. I really appreciate Nikki who runs the shop and does beautiful silk wraps on my thin brittle nails. Not everyone can do silk wraps and she is highly skilled and efficient. Kelly and Kim always do my pedicure and do great leg massages too. Customers are often requesting Kelly for various types of massages. I like that everything is done while I sit in the massage chair as bending over a table always hurt my back at other salons in the past. Also, this salon is convenient to Finbar's Italian Restaurant and Pavilion's grocery where I often go after the salon. The clientele here always seems friendly and, like me, very loyal. The girls are very kind. Michelle always greets me by name and is very friendly. Everyone here seems like a family. They always do a good job and it is always a pleasure to come here. read more

Tammy and Michelle are great... love my nails and toes!! Thanks for always taking great care of me!!

I really love the staff here. I am a chronic drop-in client, and I always feel valued and welcomed.

Not many salons cater to men and this place was pretty much the same but the massage chairs were new and comfortable. One of these days I will find a sports illustrated or Maxim magazine instead of good housekeeping. I get the same technician and they do a good job with the callus removal treatment. My lady gives me a good massage at the end of my pedicures and it is $1.00 per minute after and I usually get atleast another 10 minutes. I am sure there are cheaper spots but I feel like I get my money's worth. read more

My first time coming here. I brought a book to read because I wanted to relax while getting my pedicure. The minute I sat in the chair a woman zoomed in from nowhere and grabbed my hand! I don't like to make fuss because I don't want to be 'That Lady', but I was a little disappointed because I felt rushed. On a positive note, I love Love LOVE, that the pedicurist was able to get ALLLLLL the husk of my dogs! I mean my feet were TORE UP and CRUNCHY!!! JEEZUS couldn't have gotten the husk off my heels! This sister worked some kind of magic and made it happen!!! I dunno, Ancient Chinese Secret??? ‍. Whatever she did, my feet look absolutely gorgeous! And when it came time to go, I floated out as though on a cloud. I'm pleased. Don't let me forget about my mani. Awesomeness... Cuticles removed, polish on fleek, got a Sista right and ready! Oh Yeah! Y'all better get on in heah! These girls know how to please a hard to please and nit picky lady! read more

Do not get the manager. She rushed my nails, made them look thick and clumpy. Went back to get them fixed and the employees laughed at me. Waste of money go to another salon. read more

I really like this place. The girls are very friendly, and they always remember me, even though i'm pretty inconsistent. The prices are reasonable, and they do a great job. They always have openings. They even make you sign the package of tools that come in a sealed envelope before they use them. I'm a fan. Ill stick with this place for the long haul. read more

Nikki is my favorite manicurist here! she does the most beautiful job! such an artist! I would recommend this place 110% because it is clean, the service is great, and I love the atmosphere. read more

Good price for pedicure $17. Stopped by for a pedi with bf while we were looking for things to do after a fun birthday weekend at Disneyland. Bf legs were hurting after all that walking. There was a TV playing the World Cup Netherlands vs Costa Rica so that was a nice touch. read more

This is a great nail salon. I have been in many times and I am always thrilled with my mani/pedi. The girls are super friendly, know me, and make sure I'm comfortable and happy every time. Even though they are almost always busy, I never wait more than a few minutes or not at all. read more

I couldn't make it to my usual girl for gel so I thought I'd give this place a try. I called and made an appointment for 3:15 since I had another appt at 4:00 across the street. I got there 10 minutes early and was seated instantly. The girl started to soak my fingers and told me to soak for 10 minutes.... Then walked away never to be seen again. In that 10 minutes 3 people came in for pedicures and were all helped immediately leaving me to soak for another 15 minutes on top of the 10 I already did... Finally what I think was the manager came of scraped some more then went back to the girl she was helping. Once I was finally helped the women rushed through my nails since she was still assisting someone else new that had come in AFTER me. I did not leave until 10 after 4:00 a whole hour for gel, is insane. Needless to say I will not be going back there. They weren't very friendly either. Sorry Nail co I tried. read more

This place is really clean and all the girls are very friendly. I've gone here multiple times for manicure/pedicure and I've never been disappointed. Even when it's busy the wait is never too long and you can even call ahead and let them know you're coming in. I love that they keep all the tools they use in sealed plastic packages and even make you sign the package before so that you can see that it's complete sanitized and sealed. Also, very reasonably priced. read more

I made an appointment for gel nails, a spa pedicure and a foot message. There was no waiting and the service was wonderful. The first sign of this great nail salon was the cleanliness and the sealed sterilized tools. Vivian worked my feet while Nikki did my nails. Not only was the job perfect, it was relaxing! I highly recommend this salon in Seal Beach! read more

I like this place for a quick pedi. I usually stop by impulsively after a surf session, all sandy and they are very friendly regardless. They are very hygienic, inexpensive, and never pushy about up selling. I only get pedis so I can't comment on waxing, etc. read more
