I had my nails done at Ritz salon by Emily today. The color is beautiful and she put a flower on both of my ring fingers. Not just painted, but actually sculpted on. She is friendly & very professional. Well a picture is worth a thousand words...... read more

I will never go to Ritz Nails again. I went in today to get a manicure and pedicure for my bridal shower tomorrow, the women who did my nails asked my what type of package I wanted to get today, I respond with "the regular package please" she try's to talk me into getting a higher price package multiple time and I respond with "no thank you, I am fine with the regular package" she then says if I was with my mom she would pay for it and I could get the higher package...mind you I am 31. She then asks me if I want to pay before she starts painting my nails and I say yes, she tells me the total and I hand her my card and she says "your not adding any additional amount" (I have been there before and there's a place to leave a tip on the receipt) She brings me my card back and ask for me to venmo her the tip. She runs to get her phone and I scan her QR code. She then watches her phone and says "are you going to send it" "why haven't you sent it yet" "are you going to hit submit" I respond "I will send it, my nails are wet and I will send it in a second" she then proceeds to ask me 4 more times and then ask me "how much are you doing to venmo me?" while looking at my phone. The lady who is painting my toes chimes in and says "if you want to do something on your phone like send something you can do it now" I have never been asked to tip someone so many times in my life!! I was so unconformable and mark my word I will NEVER go back to that salon again. The women's name was Dena Du and she is beyond rude. read more

Do not go here. Find any other nail salon in Costa Mesa or Newport Beach, but do not go here. On two occasions they stole from me with a credit card transaction. They altered the dollar amount. Once could be a mistake. Twice is theft. Then for some reason we still kept going there (cash only, of course), but my wife had a bad experience where she was using a girl for a long time but that girl changed her schedule. So my wife used another girl. Then she tried to schedule the original girl again, but she refused to serve her and was upset that my wife had gone to somebody else. WHAT? REALLY? It wasn't her fault, it was a schedule change. Strange, strange place stay away. Having said that, can anybody recommend a good nail salon? read more

I have been coming here on a fairly consistent basis for the past few months and their work is decent, but today was a totally different story and I will not be coming back. I requested a gel manicure on my long natural nails, and asked her to file them in an oval shape (showed her an example as well). As she began shaping my nails she verified that I wanted "file only" to which I confirmed, then a few minutes later she clipped my nails on my left hand! Moving forward to my right hand, she only filed them, leaving them uneven. I waited to see if she would even it out but when she got the gel and light out I asked her if she would cut my right to match the left. She argued with me saying she did (I think I would remember, but ok...) She took a couple minutes evening out the error, then began gelling my nails. At the end everything was totally uneven and I don't even know what shape my nails are. They are definitely not the oval shape that I requested. After all of that, she charged me more that my regular gel price... read more

Not the worst pedi I have ever gotten but it's down there. I felt like I wasted $25 to get talked about, I could of gone to visit my mom for that. The place is small but the spa chairs are awesome, at least they had that going. I felt very uncomfortable and mostly unhappy with my experience and my pedi look like I could of painted my toe nails myself or a 5 year old could of done a better job. read more

My last pedicure was in Dec. 2015 right before my wedding. I went somewhere else, NOT here. I had a horrible experience and got a massive infection in my big toe from 3 cuts from the metal nippers. I had to go on antibiotics for a week and it took well over a month and a half for my toe to get back to normal. Needless to say, I've been very scared to let anyone touch my hands or feet for a mani/pedi after that but I'm tired of my nails not looking nice. I went in to Ritz this morning and requested a polish change using gel polish for my hands and feet. I explained my fears and showed them the pictures of my toe from the OTHER nail place. They were extremely understanding, and horrified by my pics. They never tried to push me into any additional services. They respected my request for just gel polish, no mani/pedi. They did a beautiful job on my hands and feet and were super sweet to me. I will definitely go back again soon. I would like to add, the salon looks very clean and I love the bamboo plants in glass vases on the wall. Very pretty! read more

I came in here while I had a break in my day yesterday and even though I read the neg. review a while ago for this place it was still a shopping center away from my work and my nails were in desperate need of some TLC. So, I came. I was greeted by a friendly girl working the front desk. She told me what station to go to and I waited there for less than 5 minutes before my gal came. The place is by far not small.. It's narrow but deep.. Tons of spa chairs that I didn't' get to try because I didn't have the time for a pedi, I will have to try that next... Prices are good and they have a decent selection of OPI.. So, was I happy.. YES! Will I return...YES.. Even though I am a faithful client of Ylang Ylang Nails, I will still return because I had a good experience and I totally want to try those spa chairs out. PLUS, it is doors away from one of my favorite restaurants. Avanti Cafe! The front desk girl saw me trying to get my keys in the ocean of which I call my purse and she came over no she ran over to help me. I didn't even notice her noticing me tyring to get them out. She was super sweet and nice..... Good customer service is big in my book!! read more

As a professional that has been in the beauty business a long time, I too had grown accustomed to these types of nail salons. Although I did come to Ritz for a while, because I didn't think I had another choice, it definitely does not live up to what the services should be. Sometimes they do a good enough job, but the incessant talking in their language always makes me feel like they are talking about me. I also don't like the constant attempt to up sale. I know that is part of business, but lets just say the one time I said I'd pay $5 for a "special lotion" only to see her squirt some cheap stuff into a bowl and then put it in the microwave and call it special....was the last. I also never felt if was clean enough for me. I haven't been back in years since finding The Nail Lounge and can't say that I miss it! read more

They do a fabulous job. The newly updated salon is soothing and calming! You won't be disappointed. Bet you become a regular customer

Holy crap. My finger hurts so bad. Do not go here. I don't know what was the problem with my technician today, but she intentionally hurt me. Se was using the highest setting on her machine for everything and throwing her tools like she was pissed off. She was SO aggressive and I've been getting my nails done for over 6 years. I'm pretty used to the pain that sometimes comes with getting them done. I can't type with my finger. This lady was filing the side of my nail so hard and fast and was filing into the side of my finger! I pulled back and said very sternly OUCH. Then she tried being my best friend asking about my life. Um NO. Never again. I still had to pay $8 for a cut that is probably going to get infected. Awesome. read more

I will never go back to Ritz Nails again. I went with a friend of mine and we both asked for mani pedis in the spa chair. They started on my feet and I assumed someone would be over soon to start my hands, but 15 minutes later I had to ask where the hell my manicure was. They did apologize for the misunderstanding, but there wasn't someone available to start for another 15 minutes meaning my friend had to wait for me after she was done for a while. As if that wasn't bad enough, the manicurist cut my cuticle and left a jagged edge on my thumbnail which I had to ask her to fix. Their attitudes were bad and they tried pushing an eyebrow wax on my poor friend. This was yesterday and I'm not exaggerating my nails are already chipping. They were overpriced as well in my opionion. I will be going back to my old favorite place Modern Nails. read more

I went here last Friday to get my eyebrows waxed...and it was a horrible experience. They BURNT me, and I told her I thought she burnt me but she said "It will go away in an hour" So I went home and obviously it didn't get any better, so about an hour and a half later I went back and showed them my eyebrows. The lady and the front looked horrified, made the lady that burnt me put Neosporin on them. While the lady was putting Neosporin on my eyebrows she said "Wow you have thin skin" Hello... I'm 27 years old, I do not have thin skin! I told her that was not true, I have had my eyebrows waxed more times than I can remember and this has never happened. They did give me my money back and appologize. Even took down my number so they could call the next day to check on me (which they never did) So this is my warning to everyone...definitely don't go there! Untrained staff....is honestly dangerous. And it is currently 3 days later and I STILL have scabs on my eyebrows! UGH!! :( read more

This is for the Ritz Nails on 17th in the Ross shopping center by Yogurtland. Recently, I've noticed the customer service here has gone down the drain. They completely disregard your appointment time, and they rush through clients to get as many people in and out as possible. Even if you call ahead and make an appointment, they will rush another customer ahead of you- they completely disregard your appointment. I'm on the lookout for another nail salon! read more

I will never go back to Ritz Nails again. I was in desperate need for a manicure since I was going on a trip the next morning. The manicurist cut my cuticle and left a jagged edge on two of my nails. I asked for gel because i wanted to make sure i had nothing to worry about on my trip. The gel looked absolutely horrible!! They made my nails uneven and the gel was painted on so bad. They were overpriced as well in my opinion. This place is a tiny hole in the wall, rude employees and overpriced. DO NOT BOTHER. read more

I have tried Ritz nail shop a few times but will not go back again. Service is fair but quality is subpar...gel comes off in 2 days! I went back in for them to fix one nail and the receptionist said she could fix it for me since they were busy. What should have taken 10 minutes, took 25 minutes because she kept leaving me to go answer the phone or take care of another customer. There is too much nail shop competition to have to suffer thru poor quality. read more

I had a great here. They were very patient with my younger friend who could not make up her mind on the color and design she wanted. I had a regular mani and pedi. They did try to upsell me to gel, but I wanted it to be a temporary design only for Valentines day. They were not over pushy, just doing their job and letting you know better quality services. I Would definitely return here in the future. read more

I like this place alot. I come here about every two weeks and get gels done. I have had almost all the girls work on me and I just think that they are great. Sometimes I feel like talking and sometimes I don't - they totally pick up on that. The women are always dressed cute and are sweet. They do a great job with the gels. I get my eyebrows done here too and they do a great job. What can I say - this is my nail spot! I wouls give 4.5 stars if I could. read more

First time here! Only came bc I was at Ross and saw that they were still open at 6pm on a Sunday and very busy. Went in for a regular mani and Nancy insisted on gel which is more money but I told her I have only had gel twice before and they were horrible sloppy experiences and she said she guaranteed me that my mani would still be glossy and perfect after 2weeks or to come back! It's been a week and a half and it is perfect! Even though I live in the kitchen prepping meals for my husband the gym rat! I do use gloves to wash dishes though :) I took my mom the following week and she loved her Halloween gel acrylics (see pic) read more

Been here a few times. This time I wasn't as happy as I have been before. My gel manicure that cost $50 chipped in less then 24 hours. My pedicure looks fabulous. Finger nails not so much. She didn't clean around the edges and I have tiny bubbles. Last time I went here my gel lasted 3 weeks. It looked fantastic. If I go again I will make sure to look for the one that did my pedicure. Also there was 2 of us, it ended up coating is $200.00 . When we chose the $60 mani pedi package. read more

I'll start this by saying - this visit was gift from a dear friend , I did not pay for it . I was given a night out by a friend and got a manicure and pedicure. The ladies who did my man and ped were super pushy about extras and every time I was asked if I wanted a longer massage or a flower or gel or callous remover and said no ( BECAUSE I WASN'T GOINNG TO ASSUME I COULD SAY YES BC I WAS NOT PAYING FOR IT ) they kept asking over and over ...after I'd say no theyd get snotty about it . Finally it got so awkward my friend said sure a longer Massage bc they wouldn't stop asking . It was so rude . That being said ... the manicurist did an AWFUL job on my nails. It was like I had my 11 year old niece paint them . I don't know if she needed glasses and wasn't wearing them or bc she was so mad I did want a longer hand massage or any extras she purposefully is a bad job but my husband even noticed and a couple days later admitted it was nice I got to go out and do it but they looked really bad and he didn't want to tell me . The only reason this is getting any stars at all is bc they let us open champagne we brought and bc the pedicurist did a decent job . I won't be going back ever tho. read more

The staff is friendly and they take walk-in's which is always good. Price was very reasonable. The quality though is subpar. The manicurist did a very quick job and the quality was not good at all. Polish was uneven and I do not feel she did a good job on my cuticles. I feel like I could have done a similar if not better job myself. Please see the pictures. read more

I went in on a whim this afternoon to check out the place and see their selection of gel colors. They have an amazing selection and the salon was in great shape so I made an appointment to come back at 5:15. When I arrived I was taken back immediately and had a great experience! I didn't get the name of the nice lady who did my manicure but even though the salon was very busy she took her time and was meticulous. Natalie did my design and she was the same way. Will definitely return! read more
