1. Parking is horrible here 2. Place is small . Make appt 3. Why charge me to take off my previous nail color or system ( gel nails or sns ) That is the real reason why I will not be back. That's just me . I can understand if I was coming to take off only .. ok charge me $5 . But if I'm getting service done , mani , pedi or full set .. why charge me to take off ? I don't run across too many salons that do that. You want me to pay for all my services , take off and tip you ??? Naw naw boo , pick one ? Take off or tip ? Y'all may think I'm cheap , but I'm not it's the principle of the fact . Ok so now on to how they got 3 stars bc it wasn't all bad . 1. Friendly 2 nice 3. My nails turned out ok Ruth did a good job , the conversation was good and funny . Oh and they decided not to charge me for the $5 take off . lol I was happy about that and that was nice of them , so I tip Ruth the $5. But still I won't be back bc next time they're gonna charge me take off . I'll just go somewhere else with better parking and nicer establishment . Thanks anyway ladies read more

Sparkling Nails & Spa - Mine you I work with my hands a lot.... so it looking like this a short of a miracle :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Orange, California

So initially my experience was okay. They kinda took long anf kept trying to do more than one person at a time which they did to me and makes everyone's time there longer. I didn't like that. I rather have one lady the whole time and not have her take a break from me to help someone else. It's also a small space, I usually go to bigger ones because they can help more ppl at once and it's not all crowded. I personally like my space and not ppl all around me like it was here on a sat. So 10 days later 3 nails are peeling off. I got matte gel nails. This has never happened to me and I get my nails done regularly,but this was my first time at this place so maybe their nail Polish isn't as good or they messed up somehow. I won't be back. I go to a better place called Venus salon. I just stopped at this place because I was on the area and this place had good reviews. Nothing against the ladies, they were sweet, I'm just not satisfied with my service. I know have to go get my nails done sooner than I would like and pay someone else to fix my nails that should of latest longer read more

This is my 4th nail salon in my mission of checking out salons in my area. This visit I only got a manicure though due to timeframe that day. I lucked out cause it was a quiet day for this place and was taken care of right away with a friendly greeting. The salon is small but they have it set up to best utilize a small space. "V" was the one to help me. She was very sweet offering me water and always staying on top of the temperature of any liquids she was using for my gel manicure. This was the first place I've been to that uses warm water for manicure (nail dip), heated lotion and first time gloves were put on for the dryer...kinda cool. Overall 'Vi' was thorough and sweet. A bit of language barrier but not enough to stop me from going again. Price was very reasonable and they gave me a card that offers free service after so many visits. An extra plus is the location, being so close. read more

These ladies are the sweetest (to their clients and to each other-shoutout to Nikki for helping today ) Donna did my nails and really went all in, giving me the royal treatment She took her time, even though it was passed closing and was such wonderful & warm company throughout. I love her shaping and she even got me to try the dip, which I love so much and would recommend! This is my third visit in and haven't encountered any negativity...love the atmosphere! Keep up the great work ladies, I'll keep coming back ‍ read more

I was able to be seen for a last minute gel pedicure and SNS manicure today. Upon first impression, this place is your typical no frills nail salon, but their quality of work speaks for itself. I've been to fancy salons with pretty decor that'll serve you champagne, and in my honest opinion, decor is just a buffer for the lack of quality. With that being said - I'm so happy they were able to squeeze me in today. I'll definitely be back. read more

I finally found a good SNS salon near me. I went to crappy one a couple weeks ago and I'm so thankful Donna did a wonderful job. She was very sweet, professional, and efficient with the work she did. It really was a treat to relax and have someone who knew what they were doing with my nails. They're pretty damn cute too. My cousins came right after, what a small world! Everything was clean, lots of colors to choose from, Netflix playing and THEY SPEAK ENGLISH (if that's something you care to know). Tips from my family to yours: come here for great service, try to pay cash, call for appointment because the ladies who work here are very popular. Thanks again, Donna! read more

Tried SNS gel for the first time, its supposed to be a healthier version of gel. It doesnt need a uv light to dry. Doesnt have the odor of regular gel. Supposed to have vitamins and calcium.

I called for a pedi appointment, show up, and the place is full! I told the lady I had an appointment and she was rude, didn't say anything further, not even take a seat. Everyone had just started their pedi's. I left and went elsewhere. There are salons on almost every street corner. Maybe they should learn some manners and kindness!! read more

I have been coming here for years and I refuse to go anywhere else. The girls are so skilled and they do an amazing job with the SNS manicure. I recently tried the sns ombre design and I get nothing but compliments from friends and coworkers. All the girls are super friendly and take their time making sure you are comfortable and enjoying the overall experience. I often get the pedicure works and fresh sliced orange scrub which leaves my legs soft and refreshed. I go every two weeks and I enjoy seeing all the girls and catching up with them too, they definitely care about all their customers and you can feel it as soon as you walk in the door. read more

Sparkling Nails & Spa - Thank you Chi!! I love my SNS nails, amazing job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Orange, California

Two words: SNS Nails. Thank you for introducing me to this formula! They've truly been a game changer and I always love how they turn out. My nails last an average of 4-5 weeks, which is a long time given the fact I work in a restaurant and am constantly washing my hands. The staff is always very friendly, offering water and snacks on occasion. They are always upfront about the prices and are especially accommodating. I highly recommend calling ahead of time, because they do get busy. Overall, I love how my nails turn out each time. Everything is very sanitary, and the ladies always go above and beyond to make my experience a good one. (: read more

Absolutely amazing service. My friends and I came here today to get our nails done for a wedding we are in this weekend and we were all so so happy with the service, product and attention to detail. Each one of the ladies who helped us took extra time and effort to make sure that we were happy with our nails and we all left loving their work. Overall it was such a fun, relaxing and wonderful experience. It was my first time getting the SNS nail dipping and I'm sold. My nails came out so beautiful and they have so many colors to choose from. Can not write enough about what a wonderful nail salon this is. I would recommend to anyone and recommend trying the nail dipping. We will for sure be back. Thanks for everything. read more

Fortunately for me I understand vietnamese, they talked about me the whole time, I will never return to this shop, very disappointing.

Been coming here for a while and they always take me in even if there is a wait. Recently I've tried SNS nails and I fell in love with them. Mostly because they keep my natural nails healthy. Donna did a great job, she took her time and was very detailed with my nails. She aims for perfection! I'll keep getting my nails done by Mrs. Donna! read more

* two reviews in this post, one on first arrival and once three weeks later* Made my appointment for a sns manicure and a pedicure on a Thursday at 1. I have had sns before but did not have a set on currently but was aware of the process. I arrived 15 mins early as usual. I requested Donna for my sns and anyone for my pedicure. Pros: Affordable price Plays movies Complimentary water Wide variety of sns products Open decent hours Opened tools fresh Cons: Long wait time Small space Workers love to take their time. So I arrived. Sat down for my pedicure. The chairs were cramped to one wall with no room to get in between. Donna was doing a previous client, and I assumed she would come and tend to my manicure when she was finished. Half way through my pedicure she finished and asked me which color I picked for my manicure. Then she tended to other things instead of starting my manicure. Once my pedicure was done and my toes were dry I was transferred to a chair. I saw them doing this to other people as well. Now, Donna does a really nice job, the reason there is three stars is for the performance. Our conversation was really well but certain things rubbed me the wrong way. I had three nails which were broken and I wanted tips on them. More than willing to pay for the full five even if there was only half of one hand. She argued but I don't like my nails being uneven so I just asked her to put a natural shape to them so she did. I also stated that my cuticles will make it look like they're straight but to get them square you need to hold my hand up and make sure it's straight that way. Most of my nails are still slanted. I also asked to make the acrylics a natural shape since they were almost duck feet compared to my square round. She said she would but I had to file them when I got home. The thing that upset me the most is that during my manicure she stopped and got up multiple times to answer the phone and help customers pay when there were other workers there more than capable. By the time I left it was 430, three and a half hours after I was suppose to be there. I'm going to try it one more time tomorrow and will follow with an update but don't bother coming if you have any other plans UPDATED: gave another try. Made an appointment for Donna at 515. Arrived five minutes prior and she had taken someone probably 10 minutes before my set appointment with her. She asked me to sit down and she would do mine next, even though I could tell she was just getting started. A girl came over (her name started with a c) and started taking off my sns and buffing my nails and asking me what shape I wanted, to which Donna said "oh she is much better at solid color, you'll see" which is I guess how she told me that this girl would be doing my manicure. My only complaint for the girl who did my nails is when I asked the girl for round, she did the right side round and left side square, and I had to ask her to do both sides evenly round. But after a lot of supervision the shape was perfect and the application of the sns was really nice. I would honestly go with her next time, but it just seriously shows they do not care about loyal customers and you'd probably have a better chance as a walk in. Over all, an affordable, mostly good manicure, with a really good application of sns, with a lot of color choices but I most likely will be going else where due to the fact that the way they run things is not relaxing enough and is honestly super stressful. Good luck! read more

I like Sparkling Nails for the following reasons: -their prices are compatible with other salons -most of the workers do a good job (Only once did I get a disappointing pedi & paid extra massage from a worker there. Do I say which one? Ok. The older lady there. She was sloppy and so not into her job) -what I also do like is the lotion bottles they use right from the warmer. Ahh so nice to have your feet & legs massaged with warm lotion -the downside is the super small parking lot -BIGGEST downside is when I pay with my credit card Donna ALWAYS asks if I have cash! That does not go over well with me. If you advertise that you accept credit cards then you should accept them for payment without question! PS I always give a cash tip read more

Came in on the day after Christmas in the evening. Place is easy to over look while driving. Salon and parking lot are tiny. I was one of those people who didn't get their nails done early for Christmas so I figured get them done for NYE, apparently others had the same idea, so I had to wait a bit. I came in to get SNS Nails for the first time. The owner Donna did my nails and they came out very pretty. One thing she kept saying to customers as they left was to make an appointment for their next visit. For the size of the place, an appointment is needed, to give them a heads up for sure. read more

This has been my usual go to place for SNS nails. I usually love the end result however that's not the case today. I'm not sure if the girl who did my nails today was new to SNS but my nails are wavy. They look a bit off. It was my fault for not paying close attention to what they were doing. I also felt it was a bit sloppy lots of leftover powder under my nails. I'll come back again but next time I'll ask for some one with more experience. read more

They're very rude. I waked in there showed them what I wanted, and all they did was laugh in my face they had told me it's going to be $80 for these nails I wanted and it's to expensive . I said it was fine and asked her how much it'd be for both my nails and feet and she was just like 17 for feet . I asked her again how much it'd be in all she said $97 so I said it was fine. She then got a piece a paper and in pen wrote 80+17=$97. I pulled out my $100 and she looked so embarrassed. They didn't even end up doing my nails !!!! Never again am I coming here ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO WAIST YOUR TIME HERE EITHER !!! read more

The service was great in the beginning, but once I decided to remove my nails they made it difficult and started questioning why I didn't want it any more. and today my daughter went to have hers removed and they told her she couldn't wait even do they had 2 empty seat. My feeling is because they won't be getting more money from us they don't like you any more. So sad. read more

I looked up this place on Yelp and found out I knew someone who came here. The space is small and was very busy for a Wednesday afternoon. I specifically came for the SNS manicure (which was new to me) and was informed Donna was the one to do it. I had to wait a little for my appointment but saw how all of the technicians really tried to work to make sure everyone was being attended to and they seemed very apologetic for any wait. One great point is they offer you bottled water and television. So for my manicure I have to say I was very satisfied. If you haven't tried SNS I would highly recommend it. The end product is much like getting a gel manicure but no UV light. It was really an amazing process to observe. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars was because of the rush and delay. I also didn't get any other options offered or services like massage, paraffin, mask etc. They did ask if I wanted a pedicure which I declined. Typically I hate when nail salons try to get you to do all of these add-ons BUT I would like to be offered them so I can deny it at least. Other than that, the skill Donna had, as well as what I could observe from other staff was impressive. I would come back again and recommend this salon. read more

When in on a sunday morning at 11am and I didn't get out till 1.40p When in for a complete gel mani and a pedi. Service is overall good but its always so full and busy. I was moved around about 5x from the pedi chair back to the mani table I felt like they were playing musical chairs with me. Not to mention the $$$$$$. It's always hard tp find a good decent nail place.. if its not one thing it's another. :/ 3 people worked on me to finish my mani and pedi. And its still took them 3hrs.. nodding my head. Not sure if I will go again in addition to that my mani and pedi colors didn't match. :/ read more

Sparkling Nails & Spa - Thanks to Donna, my sns dipped nails look great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Orange, California

I've been a loyal customer since 2015 up until now 2018. Sadly now every time I come in and make an appointment in advance they take about 3 to 4 hours to do my nails which is ridiculous. Also every time I come in now the job on my nails keeps getting worse and worse this will be the last time I come into the salon. They usually only take care of their white customers or if you are dressed as if you have money. First of all I like coming to the salon in comfortable clothes on my days off from school and work so I honestly don't understand how appearance and race play in how much money you have. Hopefully I can find a better salon from now on. Any suggestions near orange ? read more
