Jane and 2EM made my Friday even better!…read more Luckily, I was able to get a walk-in appointment and was all set for a basic pedicure but because my feet needed TLC after a year without pedicures, I upgraded to the 2EM pedicure because of the massage. I'm so glad I did because I experienced a relaxing transformation all while enjoying a delicious honey herbal tea that Jane provided me. I plan on returning to Jane and 2EM for these luxurious pedicures and their other services.

They have two locations and theyre both phenomenal and super clean. Highly recommend Essence Nail Studio, both in Irvine!!

I had to come here because I was in a rush to get my nails done before the weekend and it was…read moreconvenient. I got my nails and toes done. My nails were pretty but my toes were not very nice. The service and the price was not worth it. It is much more expensive than other nail shops in the OC. On top of that the nail technicians were not very friendly and the desk person refused to break my $100 so I could leave tip. The lady working on my nails kept on telling me not to move and all I wanted to do was relax and speak with my friend. I have gone to many nail shops with other girl friends and we talked a lot. This is the first time I was angrily told not to move because it was bothering the technician. For the price I paid, I am not dealing with that type of service. I will not be returning here.

I paid for the nicer package, but the oils they used just masked the calluses instead of actually removing them.

I ended up arriving about 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment, and even before the salon officially opened, and they welcomed me right away. Michelle was fantastic! She was communicative, attentive, and gave me exactly what I wanted without any pressure or upselling. She took the time to understand my preferences and delivered beautiful results. For context, I'm very particular about my nails and used to drive 35 minutes to my previous salon because I struggled to find someone who met my standards. After my experience here, I can confidently say I've found my new go-to nail salon. Highly recommend Irvine Nails and Michelle--10/10 experience!

This was unfortunately one of the most stressful and disappointing nail salon experiences I've had…read more Prior to arriving, I checked their online booking portal and noticed they had availability every 15 minutes starting at 1 PM through the end of the day, so I assumed they had room for their classic mani-pedi combo. My previous nail salon in Mission Viejo would block off unavailable times online, so I genuinely thought they had availability. When I arrived, they told me they could do the pedicure, but the manicure would depend on time. Which is fine, I understand and respect their availability. While they were setting up the pedicure station, they rushed me to pick a color, barely giving me more than 2 minutes before telling me to just sit down and saying I can pick later. For context, I only wanted a basic regular polish mani-pedi -- no gel, acrylics, extensions, or nail art. Just regular polish, shaping, and shaping. They handed me a gel sample book to choose from, I asked if these were the colors on the wall, and they confirmed it wasn't because they don't make sample books for regular polish. So the book was pointless... I normally do a shiny silver color on my toes, so I asked if they had something similar and was basically told "I don't know. Whatever we have is on the wall." I said I'd like to quickly look at the wall myself and if they didn't have something similar, I'd just go with white. As soon as I sat down for my pedicure, another technician came over to start my manicure, so naturally I assumed both services were being done (great!) She asked for my desired length and shape, and I requested oval. Less than 5 minutes into the manicure, I noticed my nails were being cut and shaped unevenly and nothing like what I asked for. When I politely pointed it out, she proceeded to say in Vietnamese to her coworker (I'm Vietnamese and understood everything) that I was being difficult and that she was going to help another client instead... About 10 minutes after she walked away, I was told they no longer had time to do my manicure anymore -- which left me disappointed considering they had already chopped off my nails and left them unfinished and half filed. I asked if they could at least file my nails evenly since they had already cut them, and while they agreed, my nails are better, but still uneven across the board. The most frustrating part was that while my hands were occupied, the pedicure technician just started painting my toes white without confirming the color with me or letting me go back to the wall to look. Ironically, when I went to pay, I found the exact silver color I had originally been looking for. Overall, I left feeling rushed, dismissed, and stressed out instead of relaxed. I don't normally leave reviews, but I wanted to share my honest experience.
