Carmen's the best! I made an appointment for Saturday morning. When I arrived I was pleased to see how cute her salon was. I saw in her comfy chair and she showed me the many various OPI colors she had to choose from. I choose a dark plum color and she started the process. I like that she was gentle and careful when shaping my nails. She also did a paraffin treatment to help moisturize and keep my hands soft. The paraffin wasn't too hot either like other places. Carmen then used a special technique when polishing my nails to make it last longer. My nails literally looked like gel nails although it was only polish. I love them! Her prices are reasonable and she has specials on Tuesdays. I like that Carmen was a pleasure to talk to. She was really funny. It was a great way for me to start off my Saturday morning. I will be coming back. read more

Natural Nails by Carmen - Nail Technicians Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Carmen has been hooking up my nails for over 5 years and I could NEVER go back to a boring old regular nail shop. She pays amazing attention to detail and her place is so cute and private. I feel so taken care of every time I see her. Her place is sparkling clean and she is so experienced and talented. I feel like she is more of a friend than a nail artist. She gives amazing pedicures and her gel nails last me for weeks!!! Thank you Carmen you are the very best! read more

4.5 - perfect except for didn't see disposable footsie bath liner, which I was hoping to see. Very nice to have individual room with a great nail service provider, rather than be part of an assembly line. Carmen is a skilled nail technician and a good communicator. Love that she doesn't soak the hands, which I've always thought weakens the nails. Very nice attention to cuticles and polish app, flexible and accommodating. Really took care of me. Found my go-to nail tech in OC! read more

There's plenty of parking in the front lot. Business is located in someone else's office- a hidden gem. I would highly recommend her. read more

Amazing job. Loved my mani and pedi by Carmen. A pleasure to be around. I recommend this place.

She is the best no doubt of that, I have followed her through 3 moves, no I'm not a stalker, just like a pleasant, relaxing time when I get a mani-pedi. Some may say,"Oh you can get that anywhere". I say,"No,no,no! anywhere if you don't care about rudeness, nail staff screaming across the room, not friendly and so not relaxing!" Carmen spoils me and I love it!

Carmen is amazing! She gives the BEST pedicures and manicures! She is extremely clean- she has a machine that sanitizes all her utensils. She speaks English to you, and I am not trying to be mean...

Well, Carmen does not do that! She spends time on you, does not rush you out and really listens to what you want. Unlike many other salons. And, guess what? She doesn't cut your cuticles!!!!

Visiting New Port from Las Vegas. I was in serious need of a pedi. Luckily I found Carmen! She was able to squeeze me in. Her studio is absolutely adorable. That's not the best part. She's amazing! I felt extremely comfortable and pampered. It wasnt just a pedi, it was an experience! Normally when I get pedis back home there isn't much of a conversation, but that was not the case with Carmen. In fact, Carmen I had so many suggestions as far as places to eat and things to do in the area. I wish she'd fit in my purse so I could take her back home to Vegas. I will definitely be making regular visits to Newport for pampering and great conversation with Carmen. read more
