Because I do not live in the area, it's inconvenient to go get them redone and I hope management takes steps to improve their services. Plus , it's cash only. What's even more cringy was that the owner of the business was also hitting on my bf that sat next to me while he was getting his pedicure !

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels calm, clean, and welcoming. The staff are consistently kind, professional, and attentive, taking their time to ensure every detail is done with care. My nails always come out polished, precise, and beautifully done. It's clear they take pride in their work and genuinely value their clients. I appreciate the consistency and quality here -- it's not easy to find a place you can trust every visit, but this is definitely one of them. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined and reliable nail salon experience. Namily

I came here to get my nails done for my big day, this is the SECOND time i come to get my nails…read moredone. I am very low maintenances and only get my nails done for special occasions and they are very good at replicating designs you want. The smell is nice inside, workers are always nice. My major takeaway why i wanted to come back was that usually nail salons nip at my cuticle and it gets red/stings. So i'm always afraid at getting my nails done, but they are gentle with the drill and i've never came across an issue. Will come back!

I got a pedicure and gel builder fill however I hate having to reach over so they can do each hand and they were kind enough to just keep switching sides so I could be comfortable while getting my pedicure.

I am definitely going to save this place so next time I'm in town, I can go back.

All thanks to a careless nail technician at essence nail in Irvine. My nail beds were so sensitive and painful that I did not want anyone touching them. My colleague recommended Zu and that is how I got to find out about her business. I booked a spot several weeks in advance and was counting down the days to get my nails fixed. Zu went above and beyond my expectations. My cuticles have never looked this good and I love how my hard gel turned out (first time trying out this material after years of getting gel-xtension). Zu is a true professional and artist, she is a master of her craft and is just a caring, personable individual. Get your spot booked on her calendar. You will not regret it.

I waited months for my nails to fully heal, then returned for a gel manicure and pedicure. The techs were very gentle this time, and my manicure turned out lovely.

Most of the community knows how great this nail salon is, so my review is going to be a bit more…read morespecific on acrylic nails. A year ago I decided to give acrylics a try for some back to back international travel I was preparing for and wanted to have nails that looked great the whole time. It was the first time I have had fake nails since the mid-90s and I was obsessed (see some of the photos below). I always saw Holly and she made them look beautiful every time. Today I decided to take a little break from the acrylics and was shocked at how strong, long and actually healthy my own nails are, a true testament to the care Holly placed on my nails every time I came in for a fill. I actually can't wait to have acrylics again, and plan to go back to Holly. Especially, now, after seeing that my own nails are in such great shape. Also, as a side note, I never ever lost or broke an acrylic over the last year, and I am VERY hard on my hands (gardening, yard work, travel, kids etc). Lastly, this salon is so wonderful. The vibe, the ownership and the staff make it such a nice place to spend a couple hours.
