I visited Magic X Nails & Spa in Mission Viejo recently and had such a great experience. They are…read moreunder new management and it truly shows. Everyone was genuinely kind welcoming and focused on making sure I was comfortable and happy the entire time. One thing I loved right away was their drink menu with both alcoholic and non alcoholic options. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and it was creamy smooth and such a nice treat during my services. I got their Organic Luxury Pedicure and this is where they really stand out compared to other salons. They use fresh organic ingredients and offer multiple massage options including hot stones tools and a massage gun. Instead of using a harsh callus scraper they use a callus remover gun which was gentle but very effective. My legs felt deeply moisturized and my heels were incredibly smooth without any discomfort. For my nails I came in with Gel X already on. They did not do a brand new full set which I appreciated. Instead they helped me by doing a builder gel refill fixing the shape cleaning up my cuticles and making my nails look fresh again. Everything looked so much cleaner and more balanced when I left. I also appreciated that all gel based services come with a two week guarantee which really shows how much they care about quality and customer satisfaction. Overall Magic X Nails and Spa focuses on taking care of their clients instead of rushing through appointments and I will definitely be coming back.

Dec., 2024 Had a man do my pedicure from Hell. First he cut…read moremy nail so short I jumped at the pain and was surprised it didn't bleed. Then he found a hang nail and proceeded to tug at it at the opposite growth direction, that DID make me bleed. I had to stop him and said please just cut it! I also told him I had a problem with ingrown toe nails so what does he do? He cuts the side of my big toe nail in the direction of the cuticle; this is the exact opposite of how to cut a nail, it should be horizontal. He put some kind of green liquid on it touching the tip of the applicator to my nail, a sanitary no-no. I considered walking out but I'd already instructed him and he finally settled down. That night my toe started throbbing so I kept Neosporin on it until finally I felt I'd better see a doctor. He prescribed a cream and antibiotics! DO NOT GO HERE! Update April 2025 Since having a pedicure here I still have a hard time wearing closed shoes. If I do wear closed toed shoes, I have to bandage my toe first which had the infection caused by this shop. I suspect I now have a fungus which is very hard to get rid off and medications are often prescribed to cure it which can take up to a year! I'm not willing to subject myself to that so I'm just very vigilant about keeping my feet clean and trimmed. No more pedicure spas for me!

I almost don't want to write this review because I selfishly want to keep this place to myself…read more.. but they deserve all the success. I've been looking for a nail salon like this for what feels like forever. The difference here is that they genuinely care. From the second you walk in until you leave, you feel taken care of. The lounge chairs are actually comfortable, the atmosphere is relaxing, the massages are amazing, and nobody rushes through your appointment or cuts corners. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Autumn completely changed my nails. Every other salon kept pushing dip, even though it would always crack and break on me. She suggested builder gel instead, explained why it would be a better fit, and my nails have never looked or felt better. That alone earned my trust. The quality of their work is incredible, and everyone there is kind, attentive, and truly wants you to leave happy. I'm a pretty high-maintenance woman when it comes to beauty services, so I don't hand out compliments easily. This is hands down the best nail salon I've found in Orange County. If you've been bouncing from salon to salon trying to find "your place," stop looking. This is it.
