Nail Avenue

Went in about an hour ago. Only a ten minute wait. Got my nails done. Only cost me $ 25.00 to get a full set with a glitter design. It looks amazing. I will be back for sure. :)

I spent almost 60 bucks plus tip on a gel pedicure and manicure which is pretty pricey but that isn’t why I gave them a low rating.
2 girls helped me at the same time which was nice but I asked for one color on both my feet and my hands and they did a different color on my feet and told me it was the same color when I questioned them! I took their word for it but now that I’m home I’m certain they did a switch. The first girl did 3 coats on my hands to get it to the right color and I saw the second girl who was doing my feet with the 2 bottles of Polish and she asked the other girl something in Vietnamese. And then she put the other Polish on me! I’m sure it was because she didn’t want to do more than one coat. I wish I wouldn’t have tipped them!

Came in today and was charge $ 65. Keep in mind I came with my best friend and my mom so their opinion really mattered. When I was getting my pedicure the lady who was doing them said I had to chose from the last two options which was $ 32 or $ 38 so I chose the $ 32 one. It was my first time ever coming here so clearly they took advantage. When I was getting my nails done Trisha had the audacity to pick up her phone while doing my nails, like I get it’s simple work but I don’t like that my nails were put on hold just so she can answer a phone call. Once I was finished my mom did not like the work that was done and the fact that I had to pay $ 65 for both. My best friends mom also said it was unacceptable that they only offered me the last two choices for my pedicure. All I know is that I will no longer be coming here.

I use to love going to nail avenue until I realized how rude and arrogant these people can be! I once had an appointment with the owner I walked in literally about 3 minutes late and her son started to snap his fingers at me! My whole family would go here but we soon started to realize they are conniving people. When ever they are in a good mood they will be cheap but if you catch them in a bad mood that price will go up ridiculous! And yes I agree their work can be good but their customer service should also be good! You can’t treat customers like the sole of your foot and bad mouth about them just because you think they don’t understand what you are saying! RIDICULOUS! The star is because I had apply one in order to put a review not because they deserve them!

Today I was in the neighborhood running errands and needed a pedicure and I remembered really liking this spot the first I went to it about a year ago because all the tools were individually professionally sanitized, packaged and sealed. That wasn’t the case today.
I was bummed but last time they did a good job with the pedi so I thought, «Ok so they’re just like every other nail spot with the tools, I’ll live.»
The girl that worked on me, Lily, was nice but I later found out she was very new. Like new at doing nails! Her manager had to step in and do some of the work for her. I didn’t think negatively about it because I do appreciate managers who oversee and step in when help is needed.
I give 3 stars because 1) I was given a free small bottle of water. 2) The manager did a good job on my toes. 3) Lily gave me a decent foot massage.
Minus 2 stars because Lily did a really crappy paint job. I guess if I was in the neighborhood again and needed a pedicure I would consider but this visit didn’t leave a very good impression.

I thought maybe I had found a good place in Orange County to get my nails done, ive been here around 5 times and there is only one lady there that does a good job. But to get her is a long wait and she is also a hit and miss depending if shes in a hurry.
Pretty sad because I started referring my friends to this place but yesterday I broke three nails so I went and after trying to find a parking spot for an hour and the lady who fixed my nails did a horrible horrid disgusting job!!! she didn’t even match the nail polish to my original nail polish and then they charged me!!! I kept telling her it was the wrong color… my gel polish is deep drown she used deep red… she was in a hurry and ignored me. they do not do a good job they are unprofessional and rude I will not be refering friends anymore and I will not be coming back here at all… By the way my original color was a deep dark brown and the three nails that she fixed she put deep red nail gel on them… I guess you must be color blind… did I mention they still charged me???
For the nails i get coffin style or Stiletto Nails you have to use more acrylic so they dont break. Get it got it good. Try it mabe my nails wont break so easy.

Thank you Kathy for my gel manicure! My nails look beautiful! These are my real nails and she shape them to exactly how I wanted! Kathy gives a bomb hand massage as well!

If you are a new customer they are nice to you, but then things go sour when you are a repeat customer. They don’t take you at your appointment time and then they give you an attitude like your wasting your time.
The son is so rude. I called to make an appointment and I asked him for Tisha and he said she had time at 5 so I said it would be for myself and my daughter and he rushed to tell me she only had time for 1. Didn’t bother accommodating us or anything. I just told him I would go somewhere else. He said ok. Well that is the last time I go there. Its not like they are cheap either.

My go-​to spot for over 5 years. Tisha does my acrylics and Hana or Tracy take care of my pedicures. Colors: OPI Alpine Snow (toes) & Taupe-​less beach gel on my nails. Great service always. I would recommend making an appointment.

I loved how my nails came out! I will not stop coming to Nail Avenue. Great service and they do it right!

I went there today, I am not happy with the customer service. The employees are very rude (especially woman the named Vicky) I showed to her that i want to put on my nail, she said she can do it, but she could not very well, so I want to erase that, then she said if i want to erase that, they will charge for that. Also she spoke with other employees with there language (vietnamese). I felt so bad, and she kept saing «I like it». However, I don’t like it !
Do not go this place, there are many other nail shops in Anaheim!

Went here with my mother since her sisters recommended it. My mother is very sweet and tells them she is Filipino. They don’t know that I am half Vietnamese and understand the language. We sit down and the ladies speak amongst themselves in Vietnamese which is expected. I happen to have gel toe nails and have 3 fingers that still have clear remnants of gel on them. The lady tells me that it’s five dollars extra for my toes. Okay, fine, my mom is happy so I stick it out, the lady that’s doing my manicure tells the lady doing my Pedi in Vietnamese I have 3 fingers with gel on them. She asks if she should charge me to remove the 3 clear gel nails. The lady doing my pedi speaks back to her in Vietnamese and says why not, her mom is the one doing the expensive package, she isn’t, charge her extra like I Did, people don’t really tip anyways. I immediately told her understand eXactly what she said and don’t appreciate her trash talking, she immediately apologized and tries to say“that’s so good you understand, I thought you were Filipino, how do You know vietnamese? I told her she was very rude for talking crap and a very mean person. She laughed it off as if I were
Kidding, the rest of the women stopped speaking Vietnamese for the rest of our stay. This is the first off, the first place that has ever charged me to remove gel, and secondly I don’t appreciate what was said along with them Speaking Vietnamese and calling other customers That came in as cheap, not smart and fat. Who insults customers in front of their faces. I’m paying you to talk crap about me? Oh and they changed the total cost of our bill 3x. Only One set of gels for my Mother and pedicure 48 to 55 with no designs, mani/​pedi for me 25 to 35, 10 for my gel removal, What a rip off. When I confronted them about it, they acted as if I didn’t know what I was talking about. Hot oil not worth it, it’s luke warm oil and lotion. NEVER NEVER COMING BACK. I don’t care how close it is to the house or who recommends it.

I really like this nail salon. They have great service and do a great job. Tracey does amazing pedicures! Her massages are the best :)

Went there today (Sunday). They weren’t very busy so I got a full set with designs on 2 fingers & a spa pedicure. $ 41 for both, which was a fair price. LOVED the spa pedicure, the girl did a very good job!
However… don’t let all the designs fool you… based on all the Unilocal designs I saw beforehand, I figured they must be really good at designs & that’s what I look for when picking a nail salon. I took a picture of the design that I wanted & the lady looked at it quite a few times… which is fine, she can look at it a million times as long as she nails the design. no pun intended heh. Well look at my picture, it does not look like the design I wanted… & she needed a small brush to do the design so she got it from a red polish, didn’t even clean the color off of it, then dipped it in the purple I wanted & put it on my nail… that completely changed the color. Then she noticed it didn’t look like purple anymore so she got another purple & did the same thing again but this time it didn’t look as bad. Then she got the same brush that had red, & 2 purples on it & dipped it in the pink nail polish bottle that she needed. I had NEVER seen anyone do that before. I’ve seen other salons use the brush from other bottles but they clean the polish off before dipping it in other colors. Then my pinky nail is smudged & she left it like that. I’ll have to see if I have a polish that can fix it at home. I did not want to say anything because the lady was super nice. So I sucked it up & left it as is & still tipped decent. Oh & people are right about the nail polish being streaky/​layered with a few bubbles.
All in all, she wasn’t able to mimic the design I wanted & left a nail smudged, so I walked out with nails I wasn’t too happy with. The design doesn’t look bad, it’s just not what I wanted. Pedicure was awesome, price was decent, the workers were super nice. Will I be back, maybe. but only for eyebrow waxing & pedicures. Not getting my nails done there again.

This place used to be my usual and everytime i come here this year they have been very rude and harrass you into getting the more expensive package. Then they pretty much do a crappy job after that and just have an attitude. Im officially done with this place. They did a terrible job with my manicure and when they were done they sent me off and didnt even offer to use the blowers so i have to go over there myself and turn on the machine.

When I lived a bit closer, this used was my go to nail spot for over a year.
I would see Cathy (the owner) for a medium length plain pink and white acrylics. She’s honestly not the nicest nail lady. You know, the ones you have a little conversation with that make your day. She’s actually kinda rude and cold to be really honest. (Yes other reviewers are right about her hating kids in the salon) But I stayed loyal because I couldn’t find a better nail shop at the time. I would come in every 2 weeks religiously for a fill or new set.
She does a decent job when it comes to powders. Meaning when it comes down to polish or gel, she just does so so. Usually too far from the cuticle and a bit streaky/​uneven. Also, I’ve tried almond nails here and they wouldn’t last a few days without breaking. So I would try to stick with my pink and white powder acrylic nails. They also have swarovski stones and a variety of charms but it is extremely overpriced to get a simple design on 2 fingers. However very limited selection of regular and gel polish.
A few visits that turned me off from this place:
(1) I brought my best friend in with me one day so we could both get full sets. She didn’t like any of the gel colors because they don’t have any nude shades which is what she wanted. She settled for this soft coral color but ended up hating it after seeing it on because it looked way different from the nail swatch. She asked Cathy to change it and was willing to pay extra knowing it would be extra work. Cathy seemed very annoyed and had an attitude and started being very rough with the drill and file. My friend didn’t end up liking her nail in the end anyways because the gel polish was far from the cuticle giving an illusion of grown out acrylics. I felt bad because I had brought her to this salon and she was so excited to get her nails done):
(2) My boyfriend and I were in the area and I decided to come in to get a new set after like a month of no nails. I wanted something different than my usual. I got square nails with gel color and two nail designs. The gel was again. Streaky and far from the cuticle but they looked okay. She charged me $ 65. Wow I was so shocked by the price of my mediocre set. I had never paid that much for a set in my life and I’ve been getting acrylics for 10+ years. Maybe she thought my bf was paying so it would be okay to overcharge me. Yikes.
(3) I was in the area visiting family and decided to come in for a very simple set. Coffin nails with regular polish and clean up the cuticles. I honestly didn’t like them at all. Some with curved and thick and some were flat, crooked filing, and again sloppy polish. I opted for something very simple because I wasn’t looking to spend too much on my nails that day. She charged me $ 35! Omg I felt so robbed): Especially when I saw her sign for $ 18 full set. I mean even for coffin shape $ 35 is a bit of a stretch. That’s how much I used to pay for pink and white with gel! Plus I still tipped her $ 10 idk why.
I was so offended by her price especially because I was such a loyal customer. Which obviously means nothing at this salon. And Cathy knew I drove from so far! So long Nail Ave. You completely lost my business.

This is the best place to come if you are looking for good nails. You pay for what you get I love Cathy she is the best at doing nail they are always on point. I’ve tried deferent shops that are cheaper and I always end up coming back to her. I don’t ever leave this shop not liking my nails. This place also has good customer service they provide l customers with a complementary water bottle.
I love how they are clean freaks and everything is clean

I love Tisha! She is extremely talented, very creative, and so, so loving! I recommend Tisha for nail design after all of these years! And her work lasts at least 3 weeks to one month– no chips, no lifts, no flaking, no peeling or not 1 single shiny stone coming off! Not one!

My first time trying this place. Took over an hour for my manicure. At first I was fine with it. The manicure it self took about 25 mins. The rest it was just trying to dry this cheap nail polish. Waited over half an hour. Did not dry completely, it was bugging me so much since I needed to be somewhere else and I was running super late. Eventhough I waited super long. My nails never dried completely, half of them are a mess. I was so close to ask them to remove my nail polish. My nails are bubbly and I’m not happy at all with them.

They do beautiful nail work, but they overcharge too much. $ 65 for a gel mani & regular pedi. I’am very picky when it comes to my nail designs, I asked for gel french tip/​a simple flower and Tisha helped me out. It took a while because she knew I didn’t want super long french tips, but just the right length to make it look more natural. While she was talking to me, the owner heard our conversation about me being picky not having it too long and the owner blurts out loud in vietnamese «ok too short is gonna be ugly, and she doesn’t want it long either so what do you want then». How rude ! She probably didn’t know that I’m vietnamese and understood the whole thing lol. Good thing Tisha was friendly and took her time doing my nails. Doubt I’ll be going back her though, my search for the best Oc nail shop continues.
