Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Santa Ana, CA

Malak M WARNING !! ⛔️⚠️ DO NOT come here don’t waste your money here ! I came yesterday to do my nails (full set acrylic with gel. I was there from 4:53 pm till 6:40 pm i was very quite, patient and respectful ! I wanted her to do her job and I thought the results would be worth it . The lady who was doing my nails she was new I guess and she was training on my nails while I do have so many things to do ! So I ended up saying in a nice way this is not what I want nor I asked for ?! I told her it’s ok I am just going to leave I don’t have time I need to be home by 7 pm. They asked me to pay without even apologizes. They were going forth and back to the owner and she denied to let me go and not even apologizing . I was still polite and respectful! So they asked me to come back the next day to fix my nails and I should pay them at least $10 for this nails on me !!! Like you charging me for this are you serious?? What about my time that I wasted here ? Btw I paid her $10 just because I don’t like drama, and since they are greedy for money. I already went to another nails salon and they took off this horrible nails. The OWNER is really rude and GREEDY for money ! I would never come back here again and I will let all my friends about this experience

Samantha McIntosh Honestly I hate to write this because they were pretty freaking nice. But with the end result I have to say something to help someone out. I have a black and red split dye and I went in for a recoloring. The lady wanted to charge me full price for my roots not taking the red and told me Id have to come back to get them bleached and redo it at full price again. Which isnt even why Im upset. After dying my hair twice I ended up leaving with half my hair in a dreadlock.... Luckily I know how to get this out without cutting anything but good lord, please be careful. Im super not happy about this but it is what it is.... I guess.

Ashwini Suryavanshi Rude owner or lead person, awful service specially by her. The lady who did my nails was amazing. She was soft spoken and provided a really nice service. I tipped her generously. But stay away from lead person- she has zero manners . Really bad customer service

Susan P. Great experience, we are always made comfortable and they all do such a fantastic job. My daughter is obsessed with her nails. Thank you! We will be back.

Sarahi Vargas My nails are lovely but tell me why I paid the exact same price as a acrylic set when I got a fill. I came here to get my set and payed $87. I come back a few weeks later get the exact same design just different color and they charged me $87. I asked the front lady to confirm it’s a fill and shouldn’t the fill be cheaper than the original set. She says depends it’s around $30-60 but depends on what because I got the same design. If I would have known I would’ve just gotten a new set. She didn’t even show me what I was paying for. She just charged me.

kelly gilbert I have been seeing Kelly for the last 4 years here and she is by the far the best nail tech I’ve ever had in my life. I found her off of a google review and decided to try her out… best decision ever! I never stopped seeing her. Not only is her nail shop very clean and friendly but everyone who works here does an AMAZING job! Kelly is my favorite because she can do absolutely anything on your nails. she’s the Picasso of nail art!! If you show her any picture, she will recreate it exactly to a T. She’s fast and doesn’t take up your entire day and the best part of all.. the nails LAST! Every-time i see kelly, my nails last me 4-6 weeks without any breaks, chips, or even looking grossly grown out. Her talent and passion for nails is totally underrated because she’s by far the best in all of OC. Her shaping skills are the best i’ve seen and the durability of the nails are just incredible. If you’re looking for a new nail tech or a new spot, i’d 1000% recommend them.

sᴀᴋᴜᴛᴀ Kevin was super fast and got my nails done in an hour! He’s the best!

Giselle Santana Kevin amazing job and very friendly. I really appreciate it for your service.

Wendi Lugo 1st time coming and it was a really good experience my mom loved her nails done by Kevin

Araceli Garcia Horrible nails! And you can’t even say anything because then they give attitude and start talking about you. I have been going to this place forever and have stayed loyal to this place but lately, the quality has gone down and the prices have increased! I think it’s time I find a new place.

Yaneet_funes 19 I have been here before but this is the first time I’m so dissapoint, I ask for a service and the lady didn’t even listen, also my nails were horrible, they look like I did it myself. Bad service, and high price.

Elizabeth Munoz Best Location To Get My Nails Done! I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now, the prices are great ! I always have different ideas of what nails I want to get and they always nail them! I usually ask for Steve, Lani, or Kim!

Marina A 100% recommend this place! Cathy is a very talented, friendly, professional, and overall an amazing nail tech. The atmosphere is friendly. Overall, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Sonia Morris Ive been here a few times as well as my daughter. Ryan always does an amazing job!! The establishment is very clean and tighty. Highly recommend.

Jeloisi This has to be the worst set of nails I’ve ever gotten. I got dip powder and a pedicure about a week and a half ago and my nails are literally CRACKING IN HALF. One of my nails has broken already to the point where it was bleeding and I can tell that the rest are on their way out too (pinky and thumb have cracks in the middle). This has NEVER happened to me before! I’ve grown my REAL NAILS to a beautiful length and now I have to start ALL OVER again because these ppl do not know how to do dip powder!!! I could cry at how bad my nails looks right now and it’s only been a WEEK AND A HALF!!! My dip powder usually lasts me 3 or sometimes 4 weeks!! Whatever they did has weakened my nails to the point that I’m afraid to touch anything because my nails may break! Not to mention, my toenail polish is chipping like nobody’s business. WASTE OF MONEY AND WASTE OF TIME. I already know they’ll come up with every excuses in the book on why they won’t give me a refund. I don’t even have it in me to waste any more of my time

Dinh Kolev Holly and Bryan are so great at what they do. They get booked up by regulars so make sure to call and make an appointment

Capacete Julie (Lana) First time. Fill $45. Not satisfy with my results. Color fell out quickly. You’re the customer and you’re paying for the service. I ended up going back to my regular nail shop “Nails Plus” fill is $38 and the results are more satisfying!!!

Chloe Bastajian I had an appointment but waited over 30 minutes before I was seen. The ambiance is definitely off and it feels very disorganized. During my pedicure, a tool was dropped on the floor and instead of using a new, clean tool on me she dipped it in the water and continued to use it on me. The pedicure was also out of order, she painted my nails before taking care of my heals and applying lotion. It felt like a rushed job and I’ll be finding a different salon in the area.

Bertha A. Elias The staff is very nice they provide excellent customer service and their attention to detail is always amazing. The quality of their products are very good! My daughter and I will always come here as loyal customers. Thank you so much Metro Nails!!!!

Karolyn Santamaria As a first timer to ever have my nails done I had a very great experience, thank you so much Nikki and Jennifer. I love my nails and they were perfect for my wedding. I was well taken care of and the service was great.

Katherine Torres The work they do it’s stunning and to the T. But the pricing is ridiculous. My first visit, it was a good experience and I believed that the pricing matched the job. But after a couple of visits, they began to charge me for the smallest things. Every time I went for a fill, they would charge me $3 to shorten my nails. And as for the customer service, it was ok. The ladies would take 3 hours to do a mani-pedi because they would leave every 15 minutes to tend to something/someone else.

Bert Elizalde This place is clean!!! My wife and I get manicure and pedicure every 2 weeks. Being a male and finding a place that doesnt intimidate me was hard until I found Blossom Nails. I have type 2 diabetes and have to take care of my feet. This place is awesome. They even put Monday Night Football on the tv for me. Love this place. The service is excellent!!!!

Nina A I have been going to Nail Pressed since they first opened. They are located in the heart of Orange county. Great service, fair prices and very they are very hygienic. I have recommended this place to family, friends and coworkers and they seem to love it as well. The salon is big and not tight compared to other nail places.

PD Nguyentang I got gel x with a dreamy design by Daisy!! She is so artist and has an eye for detail. This salon is filled with talented nail artists. You won’t regret your visit!

Miranda Mejia Want that 90s French tip pedi? Daisy has mastered it! Thinking about a free style set with bling! Go See Mayra!!! I have been going since they opened and LOVE the attention to detail that I receive when getting my nails done. Mayra is very gentle with hands and can create a very natural looking nail as well as create a glamourous stiletto with a point as sharp as my liner if that is your style! I always feel relaxed after a pedicure with Daisy and very confident in sandals and opened toed shoes after a visit. Price is also very reasonable. You definitely get what you pay for. Excited for my fill later this week!

Virginia Miller Absolutely love coming here! Clean and spacious with a great esthetic. I always feel spoiled and pampered when I come in. A dedicated devotee of Jenelle for quite some years now following her since her Palmdale days. You won’t be disappointed by the services provided that my family sees her for her beauty care services as well.

Arlyne Hernandez first of all janelle is literally the best person alive she saved me!! i’ve had lip filler before but but it never lasted :( i went with her last september and my lips are literally still so plumed and even recommended i get a lip flip for the desired look i wanted! she’s the best i also got botox w her for the first time in my life and im completely in love i recommend her to everyone that’s interested in any injectable services ! the salon is so cute and super clean she and her staff the provide other services made me feel very comfortable 100000/100000 recommend

CINDY SANDOVAL I got my lashes done, and did a facial with Jenelle. I absolutely loved my service with her, she did everything I had asked for and explained her services in detail. I recommend this salon to anyone. The salon is stylish and super clean, good vibes all the way around. I made my follow up appointments with Jenelle.

Nicole Rivera Done exactly how I wanted to match on my phone they are great will come back for sure

Nancy Castro I got a repair done for my nails she was sloppy and fast I will not be letting her do my repairs and told her multiple times that I has to match VERY SLOPPY she is seated at the left side I’m the corner

sylvia herrera Wendy was the lady that helped me she was amazing... Very experienced she has 25 years in the business I showed he my idea and she said she could make it happen came out even better then I thought

rochelle Whelchel Service was fast they did my nails and feet at the same time. I usually pay $100 for both home in MD.but here I only paid $65 very nice if I’m ever back in OC I’ll come back.

Karen Owens They are ALWAYS friendly and professional, and there are lots of nail technicians that work there so I have never had to wait. TIP: if you want perfect nails done FAST, ask for Tina, she is amazing!

Jessica Arevalo Very disappointed. Got my my nails done Saturday. Lady in the front row far right. Everything about them is terrible. I brought all my siblings to get pedicures & the service was so plain. 4 pedicures 2 acrylic total $148. You have lost a customer. This work does not look like someone whos been doing this for 20yrs. They are embracing.

Jessica Antunez This is my second time doing my nails here and it’s amazing how they come out and the price is very reasonable he does an amazing job I don’t know his name but I’ll ask :) very Satisfied

guadalupecancinos I recommend this place 100% Tracy take her time to do a great job. I was getting a pedicure when another customer came in. Tracy didn’t rush and asked the customer nicely if she can wait and she did wait for 20 minutes. Thank you Tracy for always giving your clients the time needed for a great job.

Melanie Hernandez Hi everyone! As we know finding a good place where to get our nails done is difficult . If your looking to be taken care of here forget it! The nail work looks nice but it’s painful! The woman cut me. I was bleeding! Not to mention they need more workers there. I was a walk in and well of course it was going to take awhile. I give this place two stars because I got injured here. I paid for nice nail work and an injury for $47 dollars. I don’t care if they can do nice nails it’s not worth my safety.

Navida Ahmed Came here last Friday for a gel mani/Pedi and my total was $85. Brought my cousin this last Thursday, and they charged her $109 for a gel mani/Pedi because she added glitter on top. Never was it communicated that the glitter would be extra. The owner or host, is VERY pushy, kept asking us if we wanted wax services and made comments saying that "this is what women should do", very distasteful. After my cousin finished her nails, they asked how much she wanted to tip (we thought the service was okay so we said $10 total) the receptionist then tried to tell my cousin her total was $150 (which meant a $40 tip), we didnt swipe our card, and corrected her and said "no we mean $10 total". She seemed hesitant to change the total. Overall, my experience was good when I went during the day on Friday, but our Thursday night experience was just bad. Dont think we will come back

Marcella Saca This was my first mani-pedi after my baby is born. I always get the best experience with these ladies, but when I told them, they were above and beyond they normally go. So much needed it, and my nails were perfect, clean and neat!

Maria Rojas As much I used to love coming here, my most recent visit was so disappointing. My friend and I came in got a full set done. Upon arrival we were both asked if we had a design or idea of how we wanted our nails. We both provided our ideas. The two nail techs looked flustered and annoyed that my friend and I wanted designs. She wanted a mummy and I wanted spider webs. My tech started on my nails and right away noticed that she was annoyed. I noticed a lot of my nails were looking very lumpy and I let my tech know and she just said okay. She attempted to fix them but was more concern about time. Mind you, my friend and I had an appointment and even arrived 30mins prior just in case. Once she was done and attempted to do the spider web design she became more and more frustrated. I understand that not all places can do nail designs, but please work with your costumers, instead of doing a half job. After that whole thing, I was charged $60 for my nails. The nail tech mentioned about 4 times as we were paying, don’t forget to tip. This is my last time coming here after recommending this place to many people. They have also have had the same experience lately. Please see the attached photos of my under nails and how there is product that was not filed down and how my pinky nail looks crooked. Plus the original design that was wanted.

Spark 1 Good customer service

Evelyn Gonzalez I went to get my nails done with the dip powder and it completely messed up my nails. First, the lady drilled my nails way too much to the point that they felt brittle, weak and a little bit painful. She also took off too much skin around my nails. Two days after being done, I noticed that the powder already started to lift from my nail bed. By the end of the week I had to go to another salon to get them taken off. Its been about a month and my nails still feel very weak and thin. They can easily be bent. I have to keep them short now so I dont accidentally hit them on something. The lady who did my nails was very sweet but messed them up bad. I spent about $60 on nails that didnt last a week. I will never come here again. Id rather drive 20 minutes to Fullerton to get them done by a trusted salon.

Kimberly Van Ive been going to the 90s Nail Bar regularly since they opened and they never disappoint! My go-to nail techs are Amy and Tammy. They both have shape, color, design down to perfection and I always leave here completely satisfied. Its easy to book at appointment and their walk-ins are not too much of a wait. Clean salon and they offer snacks and drinks each time. I was going for a clean and simple off-white look and Amy nailed it. I am so happy. Thank you Amy!

Goldie Malamud I have been seeing Amy for my gelx & builder gel for several years now. She is extremely skilled & takes her time to make sure my nails are perfect. I know I can always count on her to do an amazing job. This salon is definitely a hidden gem with great customer service.

Laura Rosete This review is for Kim. I once got your nails done by you PROFESSIONALLY. Just how I like them, pink and white acrylic, not pink acrylic with white tip and crystal acrylic on top! She was very nice and did a great job. Until next time!

Susana M.B. The owner did my nails .... Took her an hour, but she didnt talk to me at all. She spent the whole time with an ear piece talking on the phone to someone. I used to go here all the time .... No longer though

N Riat Its a okay salon. Not that great as everyone makes it. I went there because I saw a great deal on Groupon and tried them out. It was a gel manicure and spa pedicure. The pedicure and manicure were pretty basic nothing over the top. In 2 days my thumb nail chipped and now on the 4th day my finger gas chipped, this is GEL manicure?!?!?! Isnt gel manicure not supposed to chip for at least 2 weeks???????

Rebecca Woods My daughters wanted to go here negate they have good reviews. They were told that they did not have time to service them. At the time (around 2p)theyre was maybe 3 people inside and they closed at 7p. I would give them a zero if I could because we understand perfectly well why they did not have time.

crystal chavez My aunt and i came here , they have pedicure posted for $23.00. They actually charged us $28 because they charge $5 more for (calus removal) ...i get pedis done regularly and this is part of the pedicure #1 , #2 i dont have a xalus worth $5 bucks to remove lol Mind you she didnt use the metal scraper just the square calus foot stone . I am disapppinted in the sneaky charges. Beware and other than that polite people.

Michelle Zander The most beautiful job. Tom and his staff are beautiful souls. My Battery died on my car not only did he jump start me him and another lady that worked there but then my car ran out of gas and he gave me a ride to the gas station. Pumped my gas, waited with me and then drove me back to salon to jump it again. They deserve a metal. Oh and wouldnt except a dollar from me!
