Essential Nail & Spa - Anaheim (CA)

3 /5 Traci Urquizo: I really wanted to like this place especially with the great reviews. Customer service is fantastic although gel manicure didn’t last more than a week(more like three days). Bummer. Great pedicure.

5 /5 Valentina C: MUST GO HERE!!! The people are amazing and the job done on my nails has never been this good. I recommend Nate (the only man there I believe). He did my nails and I have never been this happy on how they turned out! Pricing is reasonable as well. I got manicure with gel polish for $30. The inside looks amazing. Feels like youre in a high end nail salon! They do accept card, but cash is preferred. Will definitely be coming back to get manicure and pedicure done here!

3 /5 smile smile: The place is really cute and clean… the chairs look really nice but they don’t have enough cushion (a little uncomfortable). They did a good job however; they said the manicure with powder does not include cuticle removal (that an additional $5). This $5 is not mentioned anywhere on their pricing. I tried to explain that the word manicure is defined as shaping of the nail, trim, and cuticle removal. It didn’t include the hand lotion or massage either. $40 for the powder over the real nail (2 layers) + gel (top layer) and either cuticle removal or removal of prior gel.

1 /5 KaaMillon EXTREMELY BLESSED: When you go to nail salons and they ask what service youd prefer, a basic pedicure should be just that – basic but thorough. However, Ive noticed that lately, when I ask for a simple pedicure, it feels rushed and incomplete. They rush through the process in about 30 to 40 minutes, and the quality is far from what youd expect. It often feels like they’re either low on products or using watered-down versions of their scrubs, and the foot soak water is usually cold, which is uncomfortable. I’ve been to this salon before, but the technician I liked is no longer there. The new technician seemed hurried and didn’t take the time to properly address my needs. My toenails were barely cut around, and overall, the pedicure was subpar. I was so dissatisfied with the service that I chose not to get polish or even continue with a manicure. It was a poor experience overall, and because of it, I won’t be returning to this salon.

5 /5 Lucia Baez: I came to essential nails for acrylic and pedicure. They are super friendly and welcoming. They have Netflix’s shows playing, so it’s definitely a relaxing place. I broke a nail the very next day, I was able to walk in and get it fixed. I am going on a vacation in 2 days, so they really did me a huge favor by getting me in and taken care of immediately ☺️ I highly recommend them and will continue to come back to them.
