I'm absolutely blown away by the exceptional service at Vdara Nails. The entire team is professional, friendly, and truly passionate about their work. The salon itself is immaculate - spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. But what really sets them apart is the outstanding quality of their work. My nail technician did a spectacular job, paying close attention to every detail. I've never been happier with my nails! I highly recommend Vdara to anyone seeking top-notch nail care. Five stars isn't enough - they deserve ten! Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

I just have to do a special review for Ivy at Vdara Nails. Not only is she very kind, but you can truly feel that she cares and her attention to detail is unmatched! She wasn't even the one to originally do my nails, but she stayed after late to give my pedicure an extra coat and I didn't even ask! If you are in San Clemente, you have to visit Vdara! I have been coming here for about a year now and so happy to have such a great place close to home. read more

I paid $85 for the Deluxe Mani/Pedi combo. The full service itself was completed, but when the polish was applied, the nails looked uneven and streaky. I originally asked for black toenails and nude nails. After I pointed out the issue, another color was tried, but it ended up looking almost white. At that point, I felt uncomfortable continuing to ask for corrections and finally just said it was fine and that I didn't need color. Most of the polish was removed, cuticle oil was applied, and I was checked out. With tip included, I spent $100 total and left without nails I can realistically wear to an important work meeting this week. I now have to pay again tonight to have them redone elsewhere. I truly don't like leaving negative reviews, especially because the staff has always been pleasant, but for the price paid, I expected a much better final result.

I do better with a thinner gel like Shellac which I've always had positive outcomes with since first using it almost 15 years ago - if it ain't broke don't fix it! I'm also very particular with the gel removal process in order to maintain the integrity of my nails and Stacey does NOT e-file my polish off but wraps my nail with a cotton ball soaked in acetone to break the seal and then gently scrapes it off with an orange wood stick - zero nail damage! This is the only way that works for me. She guarantees no chipping for 14 days and while I could even go longer in between manicures since her work is solid, I don't like the grow out process so I stick to every two weeks. Also, her manicures are waterless which is my preference and she is not overly aggressive with the cuticles which is hard to find. So many times nail techs are cutting away the proximal nail fold/live skin rather than just taking off the dead skin. Long story short, go to Stacey!
