Best Nail Salons In Costa Mesa

“The staff is very friendly and easy to communicate with. I like that they check in during the service to ask if you are satisfied. Also, clean and comfortable and a peaceful atmosphere. Oh! and they were gentle! I hate being cut by the nail file!“

“This is my new favourite salon. The prices are excellent. The ladies who work here are very kind and professional, and so are the regular customers they attract. Great energy in this place, and nice calm music. I always leave this salon feeling refreshed and beautiful without overspending. Ann did an amazing job on my birthday nails! French Tip Acryllic. I will keep coming back!“

“I once had a party to attend, and my nails broke right before the event. Fortunately, the salon came to my rescue. The staff quickly fixed my nails and created a beautiful new set, helping me feel confident for the party.“

“I called & made an appt for 4/19/25 for an acrylic nail fill ($35) pedicure ($25), exfoliating feet callouses ($5-$7), & plain colored polish. Thete's a $3 fee for credit card use. (I can't speak to walk-in appts, or decorative nail art abilities.) Brian has a conversational manner which makes it easy to feel comfortable. Rather than fill, Brian preferred to remove the old acrylic & gave me a new set for $3 extra. He did an excellent job & gave my fingernails a nice new shape. I liked the thin coat of acrylic versus thicker coats by other nail techs. Mary did my pedicure...another excellent job by a sweet lady. They have a great selection of gel as well as regular nail polishes, & great prices. I'll be back!“

“I was looking for a new mani/pedi spot in Costa Mesa and randomly stumbled upon this gem on a Sunday afternoon! I called ahead, and they were so kind and had now wait. They even went out of their way to send me a text of their address and the name of their business! Once I arrived, the two women were so lovely and provided me with a drink menu (tea, water, mimosa, or champagne) and offered me a menu of their offerings for their services. I was quickly attended to and immediately received my glass of champagne AND they put lemon slices in the foot soaking water. Extremely spa like. As a medical professional, I additionally appreciated that all of the equipment came out of sterilized packets from an autoclave. I will be returning to this salon and will recommend it to all! Plus, the prices are affordable compared to other studios in the area.“

“1989 Nail Bar is excellent! I was able to make an appointment, name the services I wanted - gel removal, builder gel infill overlay on natural nails, nail art - and then was met with full professionalism with Claire for my appointment. The salon was clean, friendly, and easy going. They carry a lot of Asian gel brands which I tend to prefer and was having a hard time finding in a short time researching.

Claire was an excellent nail tech who took my inspo - smoky/marbly magnet in a fall color palette - and worked through how she would accomplish it with their products, as well as communicating clearly what she was doing during each step (including asking if the service was feeling ok, things like possible heat spikes and my comfort level with the efiling sensations). I appreciated this so much as I was coming in cold as a new client and having felt left in the dark by techs in the past and not loving the results. I would absolutely recommend Claire if you are looking for more Asian styles nail sets (nuance nails, 3d art, certain types of colors) and an all around good experience. Thank you!“

“Great nail salon. Comfy massage chairs nice music and you can request tech. I love having Emma or Lily do my nails and there’s nobody like Mary for pedi! Mary goes above and beyond. They’re amazing!“

“I have officially found my new nail spot! After searching for a few months I stumbled across K&K on Google and after reading the reviews decided to give it a try. I waited a few fills to write this review to make sure they were consistent and they have been!! I feel comfortable at this salon, the techs are friendly, quick, efficient, and don’t push you into services you don’t want. I think the prices are very fair and the work is consistent. I highly highly recommend giving them a try-you won’t be disappointed.“

“I got a pedicure and it was the best pedicure i have ever received. They took their time, paid attention to small details, and were reasonably priced. I strongly recommend this place for a relaxing and neat pedicure.“

“Okay I'm usually not one to write reviews but I felt like this was beyond well deserved!

For reference The brunette picture is how I started and the blonde is how I left the salon!

Lots of stylists said it wouldn't be doable to get this blonde in one session and that it would take a few... but I had an important event coming up and was determined to hopefully find someone to get me to my end goal.

Nicole was willing to give it a shot for me, and man did she deliver!!!!

I was so nervous going into the appointment but Nicole was beyond genuine and her energy made me feel so comfortable and at home right away.
You can tell how passionate she is about her job and how much she loves people.

She worked for 6 hours on my hair, the conversations were great, the price was great, just a 20/10 experience all around!

I'll never let anyone else touch my hair again!!
Thank you Nicole!!!!!!

I also met the owner Jennifer and she was incredible as well. From the receptionist to the other stylists there, the vibe of the salon was amazing and such an amazing environment to be in. 6 hours flew by!

If you're looking for a blonde specialist and live in the OC area make sure you ask for Nicole!!!!“

“What a gem!!! I got my hair done with highlights by Mini, showed her what I was looking for and she matched it perfectly. She is so very talented and kind. I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep!“

“I went to this nail salon and couldn’t be happier with my experience! Not only was the pedicure done beautifully, but Hannah created an amazing nail design on my toes. She was so sweet and patient, even when I changed my mind a few times. The massage was also very relaxing. I’ll definitely be back for more services, including a manicure Costa Mesa, because the quality here is outstanding!“

“I went in for gel mani/pedi. I ended up getting a gel acrylic manicure, and gel pedicure. In total (not including tip) it came to $91 and I got french tip on both my hands and feet. They were very nice, the service was great. I will admit that the outside of the building looks a little questionable but the atmosphere is much better on the inside. I will definitely be going back!“

“I've been coming here for about 6 months now, and this is officially my spot. Tiffany and her techs are consistently amazing and friendly. When I come with ideas, Tiffany can design them on the spot or make the color I want. She has great selections, and the shines last. Prices are just right. I haven't yet indulged in the complimentary drinks, but will treat myself one day. Services are easy to schedule online, on the phone, or walk in.

Conveniently, there's a good consignment store called So Lo next door. So now I can't stop by one place without having to visit the other.“

“Jesse has been doing my nails for a couple of months now and I love her! I do builder jel and it is super durable & lasts for a full month. Spa is super clean. Also have gotten a pedicure here and it was great.“

“Tammy and Cindy are wonderful and they did such a great job! Highly recommend going ?“

“Love this salon, been getting my eyebrows done here for years and they always do a good job!“

“A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease of the skin that particularly affects my nails. It is very difficult to maintain on my own and all of the big nail salons want to just make my nails look pretty with polish and shove me out the door. On the other hand, Kathy is VERY thorough (like a perfectionist) and cares about the health of my nails. My hands and feet haven't felt this good in YEARS, literally. Kathy is also very pleasant and fun to talk with. I felt very welcomed by her and comfortable in her presence. I feel lucky to have found her.“

“Always a cheerful helpful family run small business.

And appreciate the AC during the hot summer months.“

“I love GLO! Cindy and Germaine are amazing. I’ve been several times and the one time I had a small issue they were more than accommodating to fix the issue. I love the vibe and quality. Worth the price. These are my natural nails with gel x overlay“

“- Great service
- Comfortable, clean environment
- Great final result
- Parking is crowded - be mindful when scheduling

It's a little tough to get an appointment in, but there's definitely a reason why. I've been coming here for a few years and I've always had a great experience with everything. Susan Park does fantastic nail art manicures, and Coleen is AMAZING taking care of my deep toenail beds. I've also had my nails done by both Ckelle and Evelyn, and they're wonderful. My nails are always so happy after leaving Lollipop. The parking can be a little tricky since they're at the Camp now, but it's so worth it if you're looking for a great manicure.“

“3 days that I made this gel-x and I'm still in love, they are intact, beautiful and perfect, I highly recommend the girls, they make dip powder, gel-x, gel overley, gel regular , manicure and regular pedicure perfectly, it's really worth knowing the space, I highly recommend the salon“

“Linda was lovely and so attentive! My nails came out beautiful! Will definitely be back, just for Linda!“

“Quynh was phenomenal and kind to meet me at 9am before this Salon opened and exceeded my expectations for a simple manicure and pedicure. I absolutely will recommend this spot of a good nail service as they answer the phone and are clear with their commitment to doing a great job! Thank you Quynh!“
