Zara Nails Lounge - Fixed nails. Thank you Amy - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I really fell in love with this nail salon during my first visit. The space is clean for the most part, and I initially had a great experience. However, there are some sanitation practices that need improvement--specifically, certain tools like nail bits should be 100% disposable or properly single-use, and that was not consistently followed. During my most recent visit for a manicure, I had a very disappointing experience. I am someone who struggles with nail biting, and I had been very disciplined in allowing my nails and surrounding skin to fully heal over the past few months. Unfortunately, the nail technician excessively cut the skin around my nails--areas that should not be trimmed. As a licensed cosmetologist, I am aware of proper nail care practices and understand what should and should not be removed. I did communicate multiple times during the service that the cutting was too aggressive, but the issue continued. By the end of the appointment, it became clear just how much skin had been removed. I am now dealing with painful sensitivity and multiple hangnails on most of my fingers as a direct result. It's frustrating to have undone months of progress in one appointment. On top of that, my nail polish is already chipping on one of my nails, and the entire polish layer is lifting and will likely come off completely, which is disappointing so soon after the service. While I truly wanted to continue coming here, this experience has made me reconsider returning. read more

I honestly wasn't going to write a review about my experience until one of my nails broke and I noticed a fungus/bacteria under the set that this salon had just done on me, truly the straw that broke the camels back. Immediately when I walked in I felt like a regular, I was given a bottle of complementary water, and my technician was gentle and kind. Upon realizing I had forgotten cash to tip with, I asked my technician what money sending services she might have, fully prepared to have my boyfriend go and grab cash for me. She replied that she didn't have any, and at the time of payment I asked if I could add my tip on to the service charge. The manager proceeded to make an example out of me in front of the salon, saying that it was very rude of me to not bring cash to tip with. I agree! I should brought cash, but it was an accident, and it's not like I was attempting to leave without tipping for the service (and a friendly reminder that that tipping is optional!). The set was done well, lasted a couple weeks, but throughout all of the salons and techs i've been to, I have never had any sort of bacteria or fungus. Disappointing to say the least. There are plenty of salons in the area, and if you're not willing to set yourself apart from your competitors in service or cleanliness then there's not much other advice I could offer. Only rating two stars because the technician was great (minus the fungus :/). read more

I've been coming here for my nails and and they really try their best to give you what you want and didnt even know I absolutely love the work and service they give.

Great experience at Zara's. The nail salon is clean with new furniture and they provide a lot of nail color options. My pedicurist was very talented and friendly. It's a bit pricey esp for gel so this place would only be for special occasions. Overall, I enjoyed the relaxing experience. read more

This is a great place for a good mani/pedi. I got a basic pedicure and dip nail manicure. Price was a little high in my opinion for the service provided. They did a great gob on the mani and pedi, but I felt like it was all just a bit rushed. Hence the 3 stars. They were careful and meticulous with my nails and paint. Store was clean and inviting. Would give 5 stars if there was a little more bang for your buck. read more

My experience was horrible at this place i left very unhappy, the GUY who did my nails has horrible attitude, he was rolling his eyes at me and was giving me attitude and i didn't bother him while he was working, and it was expensive for a simple design also i didn't like the shape, i paid 80 dollars for a horrible experience definitely not coming back. read more

not acknowledged by the women who did my pedicure and didn't ask if the water temperature was ok, which was overly hot. should've known from there that it would be an interesting experience. Many things were off about my experience but the main issues were, she had an attitude the whole time, it was rushed, i was ignored on what i asked her, she kept giving me big SIGHS like she was irritated, AND she tried painting my nails with my original sandals back ON. I have never in my life getting pedicures, have ever experienced someone wanting to paint my toes with my foot wear back on?? I stopped her before she tried and asked for someone else to finish. And even then she still was very hostile. Owner/ manager apologized, admitted it must be because she's on the phone too much. But i still ended up having to pay full price for a poor experience. Poor management. I came because i saw all the apparent "good reviews". I guess i missed that. read more

Crooked, and bad gel x application. It also burned super bad when applying and the tech wasn't patient when it was burning I also asked for a basic pedicure and they charged a higher price-don't come here read more

When I heard that some people were giving bad reviews here I just had to post another review. I have been here 4 times already and there has not been a bad thing I can say about this place. I also have been requesting for Tommy and she has done such an amazing job! More than amazing really. Also, it was like 90 degrees today and the first thing they offered me was ice cold water and the place had their AC running as a reminder, this is a business but they are only human just like us. read more

This is my new nail place and I love it! Amy did a wonderful job and I'm very happy. She took her time to make my nails look awesome.

I went in a couple weeks ago for a pedicure and it still looks amazing. They placed everything they used for my pedicure in a beautiful tray. Bella was the one who helped me out and she was so nice. I felt comfortable the entire time. This place is definitely going to become one my routine spots. read more

my second time here and i went to go get a manicure and pedicure. the manicure was good. but the pedicure wasn't what i asked for. i showed inspo pic and did the opposite. there's still a bubble on my left toe nail. my nails are lopsided when i asked for them to be straight. read more

Wanted to treat myself to a pedicure and came across Zara while passing by, saw their grand opening sign and figured I would give it a try! The space is newly renovated with modern design that feels very upscale. I was greeted by the owner who was very sweet, checked in on their device and waited briefly to be seated. While doing so, I was able to look at the nail booklets they had available. Shortly after, I was directed to the spa chair and was helped by a sweet woman whom I can't remember the name. She showed me the different services/options, I chose the Signature Gel Pedi and she went straight to work. She provided an overall very relaxing and friendly experience, I didn't feel rushed and she did an amazing job! During the pedicure, I was offered a beverage by the owner which I appreciated as well. When it came time to pay, everything was seamless! I found the prices to be competitive for the area just slightly lower. And because it is Mother's Day weekend, I was given a long stem rose which was very kind. Thank you Zara Nails Lounge! 10/10 experience and I have already recommended the nail salon to all of my family and friends read more

Set came out super clean and quick. I got a gel x set and I'm usually VERY picky with how my nails turn out. I came in as a last minute walk in and was greeted immediately. In love with my new set and I'll definitely be coming back. Amazing job and service. read more

Would not come back here to remove my gel, they made it a painful and complex process

Best experience getting my nails done! First time there and will definitely be going back. Tommy was wonderful. He took his time and made sure that every nail was done to perfection. Didn't feel rushed like I did at other salons. The salon is like an upscale spa. Very pretty decor. read more

Linda was amazing. Best service ever and I will definitely be back for more pedicure appointments. It was my first time ever and she made me very comfortable. 20% discount helped a lot as well!! Free champagne too! Happy Customer read more

They offered water, mimosa, and at the end of my service they gave me a beautiful red rose for Mothers Day Definitely will be coming back read more

I've been to quite a few nail salons but I think this might be it for me. This has been my go to nail salon for the past few months. Not only is it nearby to me but because they do amazing work. My gel manicure and pedicure last me a month without lifting -- it would probably last even longer but the grow out drives me nuts. lol. I haven't had anyone that didn't do a good job on my nails. And even then, they have a 7 day policy that you can return if something happens to your nail. This place is cute & clean with a large selection of colors and styles to choose from. read more

I'm local - I just found this salon after searching for a new pedicure spot and I am in love. This salon is elegant, clean, and relaxing. All pros for me! An added pro is the massage chairs! Why is it so hard to find nowadays?! I'm so happy this salon has them and they actually work. Gel pedicure includes hot stones and hot towel as well as a nice massage. I will definitely be coming back. This is such a nice salon with great customer service compared to other salons down the street (I've tried them all). Hope to try other services soon. read more

Very clean and cute shop. Super friendly and efficient staff. Love my gelX galaxy nails! I'll be back.

I have been to this nail salon before but now it's ran by a whole different owner and all I have to say is, the service is great the staff is so kind and very helpful. I walked in looking to do a fill and Amy took care of that for me quick. Definitely will be returning for my next set. The experience was a 10/10 and it's a super cute spot! read more

The facility is beyond gorgeous. It's very modern and clean. Kayla is the best nail technician I've ever had. My nails look great even after three weeks.

Came to re do my nails from a previous salon, and they did so much better! The design and manicure is so cute!

Love love love this place, ask for Tommy she's the best!!! Got my design by her several times, always leave the place happy and satisfied.

I randomly walked into Zara Nails after grabbing coffee next door and ended up having such a great experience. The salon is super clean, modern, and really cute. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Minh did my Gel-X removal and gel manicure. She was super gentle, detailed, and made sure I was happy every step of the way. My cuticles were cleaned up perfectly and the gel polish job was crisp & neat. They're offering a grand opening discount, but even without it, the prices are very reasonable. They had a big polish selection and offered drinks like water, champagne, and soda. I'll definitely be back! read more

First time visiting Zara Nails Lounge and I was very pleased. The environment was quiet and peaceful. I liked that they had a variety of polish colors, it was difficult to choose! I received #4 Gel Pedicure and eyebrow wax from Bella. She was very patient and efficient. Thank you for helping me de-stress after a busy week. Would highly recommend read more

$100 for regular French polish is crazy. Also my friend only wanted regular polish and they kept pushing gel polish and even brought the gel polish over. read more
