    My favorite nail salon in Newport Emma did a beautiful job and was very gentle when doing my nails, such a sweet lady too. It's also aesthetic & in a great location which I love. 10/10

    I love this nail salon! They are so sweet and accommodating. They give a great mani/pedi and I love their sign on the wall that says, "yes but no but yes!" It completely makes sense. They have Wi-fi and I've never been unhappy with the work! See you soon, ladies!

    First time here and it was amazing! Small and cute place. The environment was nice! Fresh air and felt comfortable. I had gel x for about 3 weeks and Kim removed the color and fixed/shaped my nails even better than the first person who put them on me at a different nail salon. Kim was nice and accommodating. Will definitely go back especially since it's 3 minutes from me. Thank you!

    Top quality. They offer everything from gel x to organic to acrylic and normal polish too. The staff is so kind and helpful esp when figuring out what I wanted or would look best on my nails. They really care about the health of the nails too. Love this spot!

    I was a walk in customer. I had a gel pedicure with Emma and a gel builder manicure with a design by Emily. The pricing was fantastic and the quality was top notch. Their service was incredibly welcoming and very very kind. I felt very welcomed and I will be coming back. I highly suggest coming in and getting your nails done here.

    Everyone is so friendly here and Kim is amazing! I asked for a natural look and she gave me exactly that. So happy with my nails!

    Friendly, quality service, good client spacing and great location. Love open front door for fresh air with all the chemicals used.

    Went in for a play boy 3 different times here. I got good results the first time I came here, I got…read morea play boy done by Linda. But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

    Formerly OC Waxing, Bare is still the same business. The Costa Mesa location is on a Main Street so…read morethere's not always front parking but they have a small lot in the back. Decent prices and clean facility. I have gone here for my lady parts a handful of times and it's been a great experience. I have been waxing for awhile so I can't speak to newbies who want feedback on pain. Just so you know the first few times are uncomfortable. If you have a high pain tolerance you're good. If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.
