very mean boss. Her name is Tina. I came for the pedicure. One person started me. Then few minutes after boss asked her to do other woman who walked into salon after me. I was waiting 30!min for another girl to do my pedicure. Then 15 minutes later boss said to her to do another woman! So I have been sitting and waiting another 10 minutes when the 3 rd woman came and finished my toes. 3 people were doing my pedicure. No one apologized. Very bad service! I will never back again! I don't recommend this place!!! read more

*****Helen & Jenny ***** Helen has been doing my acrylic full sets every three weeks, and I won't go to anyone else. My nails never lift, the gel never chips, and her work is consistently beautiful. She's incredibly talented with creative designs and always brings my ideas to life perfectly. Jenny gives the best pedicures. She's extremely detail-oriented, gives an amazing foot massage, and has such a fun, positive personality that makes every appointment enjoyable. The only thing I wish customers were more mindful of is keeping the salon atmosphere relaxing. It's a spa-like experience, and loud business phone calls can take away from that for everyone else trying to unwind. Thank you, Hellen and Jenny, for always taking such great care of me! Best service the lasts 7 years! read more

Tren or Tran, is rude, unprofessional is not certified. I removed almost all of my nails that Helen did last week. I had a few more to remove so I went in. I wasn't going to say anything regarding the set of nails Helen did last week. Tren, left a thin layer left on my nail bed and she thought it was removed completely, however it wasn't. Helen, does not pay attention to detail. I asked Helen, for almond shape last week. I went in and paid $121.00 plus the cost of gel and pedicure and they were uneven, too pointy, they looked more claw like if anything. They clearly are not Certified! Some of the staff are rude. Thank you, now I know where to place you. read more

I feel like you have to be really careful coming here. I usually come here for a pedi which they do great at but this time I also made an appointment over the phone for a gel-x soak off, nothing more and I really wish I just waited to go to my normal nail girl to soak them off because they completely destroyed my perfectly healthy nails. While I was getting my pedi I had to remind them 4 times that I also wanted a soak off. I kept saying soak off and had 3 different manicurists come over and look at my nails and try to convince me just to cut them shorter. I've already had these nails on for 5 weeks and just wanted them off but boy do I wish I waited. I was finally seated with Helen where she proceeded to drill off all my nails in about 6 minutes. At first I didn't think anything of it because before a soak off you usually drill off the top coat, I should've realized what she was doing when she told me "it's going to hurt to take them off". I'm usually not one to leave such a bad review but I've honestly still been experiencing negative things with my nails since this service. At this point it's been 2 weeks since my nail removal and I've been left rings of fire on all my nails with thin, brittle fingernails that are bendy and keep breaking deep into my nail beds and I also still have gel-x residue on my nail tips I would've preferred if she denied doing the service if she didn't have time to perform the service that I made an appointment for the correct way. I thought that maybe she was in a rush to leave work but then she started on a full mani on someone else after me. I would've posted more photos of my nails but I'm honestly embarrassed by how bad they look. There are definitely better places to go read more

I have been going to this salon regularly for 2 years (Surf City 2 prior to the move) The last 3 visits the quality has gone way down. New employees and they do a bad job and are rough, have cut my daughter twice where she bled. We hung in there because we liked the people and price. Yesterday, I took my daughter for a mani/pedi and had a nail that was breaking so asked for it to be fixed. Tina painted the nail a completely different color, despite my insistence to let me look for and get the correct color. She had no interest in fixing the issue and expected me to be ok with this hideous situation. I can't believe she thought it would be ok to have 1 nail a completely different color. It was better before I went in to get it "fixed". Don't go here to save money. It's not worth it. Tina does not care. read more

Got an immediate toe infection. At the time of the pedicure I told her she was hurting me and it turns out she cut me and it's oozing (24hrs later). I'm disappointed, I went to get a pedicure to help my feet not I'm limping around. I'm not sure if all of the technicians even have a cosmetology, license or aesthetician license or if they're just working under the table under one license. read more

Never again. I went here today cause I thought I would choose a different place and it's close to my work and home. I got a pedicure and dip powder i went to the massage chair like usual for the pedicure and they moved me and had me sit in a regular chair where you get the nails done and was not comfy at all. my water for my feet was cold. Didn't feel relaxed. Also when the lady doing my nails one of them chipped a little while she was doing it and she didn't even fix it or do anything for it. Don't have very many dip color choices. And they don't take cards. Won't be coming here again. read more

Tried this place a couple of times. Until I had enough. The girls are so pushy and not very nice. Almost seems like they are there against their own will. They don't even smile. They are so rough in your nails. Had enough of this place and went back to my girl at Master Nails. read more

I have been trying to find a new nail place that I like so I decided to try this one. My friend recommended it to me so I said why not. I walked in and it wasn't very well put together. The lady started on my nails and she asked me what shape I wanted, but when she cut and shaped them she gave me a totally different shape than what I asked for. Some nails are longer than the others and some are completely lopsided and different shapes. I had high hopes for this place but I wasn't not happy after leaving. By the way they only accept cash or check. read more

I am so happy I came across this place. Well, referred by my apartment manager. They are so kind, funny, and fair priced. Unlike other places, this salon doesn't do the "$5 extra" scam. You tell them whay you want and they yive 6ou a price without ever changing it! My fill today with 2 broken nails, shortening, and Mermaid gel for $40!!! Kim my go to. She's so amazing!! I see her 3 weeks to a month because they stay on that long. (I broke my 2 by myself playing rough with my dog). So I was seeing my nail lady for OVER 2 years and she was busy one day that I really needed her. My gf referred me to Kim and I never saw my long term nail lady. I'm not kidding! Kim is the MOST AMAZING tech I have ever had! She gets busy so make an appointment! Plus, they speak mostly English to each other! It's one heck of a team. Kim's number is 714-837-4950. Call her!

I've been here 3 times now... The first time, my gel mani was great!! Polish lasted 3 weeks! The second time it lasted almost 2 weeks and the 3rd time it lasted about 8 days....unacceptable for gel. The pedicures are pretty good. Their spa chairs give the best massage of any of the massage chairs I have used. I wanted to continue going here, since it shares a parking lot with my gym, BUT, unfortunately a 1-1.5 week gel manicure isn't going to work for me. read more

Surf City Nails is a 5 Star Salon, After my horrific incident at my prior nail salon, I returned to Surf City Nails. The salon is located at the Von's Shopping Center with plenty of free parking. The salon offers all types of manis-pedis, a small hair salon & waxing .... All at a very reasonable prices. The salon offers so many colors for your mani/pedi that sometimes it takes me a while to select a color, lol All the stylist are so friendly & I highly recommend Donna, Jaclyn & Anna. They are fabulous & I've never been asked to wait like my prior salon. They are very accommodating! So, I had my nails done today by Jaclyn & Anna did my pedi. They did a wonderful job! I've had Donna do my nails before & she also does a great job! Oh, if you want perfect eyebrows then you need to make an appointment with her .,.... My son also gets his brows waxed by Jaclyn! Surf City Nails offers great service & they are experts in their field! Absolutely a 5 Stars experience! read more

I have gone to this place four about 10 years and I have never really loved it. But its cheap and fast so I continue to go here for desperate times. But never again... My mom just got back from getting her eyebrows waxed and a huge piece of her eyebrow is gone. Yes, as in there is no hair there because they waxed it off. WHAT IDIOTS!!! She said that the lady waxing her eyebrows started to use a pencil and my mom thought that was odd and then she told her to look in a mirror far away to make sure they were fine. When my mom asked for the close up mirror the lady just pointed to the big mirror. Afterwards, my mom got her nails done by the owner of the store and she said NOTHING! What a way to run your business.... 1. Why didn't the lady tell her what happened and apologize? I understand mistakes happen but not to own up to them is complete BS especially at an establishment like this. 2. I simply don't understand how it is possible to take of a center section of an eyebrow off when you are supposedly licensed. Don't give these people your business...they don't deserve it! Oh and they charged her! read more
