The Nail Lounge

The Nail Lounge gives the best service every time! They greet me by name, good an good job and make it fun. Thank you Cherri and all the ladies!

Not the worst, but far from the best… I tried this place on a whim, as I live nearby and didn’t want to go all the way over to my usual spot… well, the team was nice enough, and the place was clean, but the girl I had was not so great. I got a shellac mani and had to spend 90 minutes sitting uncomfortably hunched over on a barstool… their only option if you don’t get a mani/​pedi combo. The girl who helped was relatively new and told me that we would have to cure two nails at a time under the light b/​c she is a slow painter and the shellac shrinks on her… ummm, what? But I was fully committed at this point and hoped it would proceed more quickly than I feared it may… I was wrong. 90 minutes for a mani… and nothing else, is way too long. 90 minutes hunched over on a barstool b/​c she was petite and could barely reach me unless I nearly laid on the high-​top table was also beyond uncomfortable… and 90 minutes for a sub-​par mani, where half my nails split and peeled within the first week… I only wish my experience had been better b/​c they are close to home and have fantastic gel colors… :(

I have been coming here for 3 years. I have Kim as my tech who is simply amazing! I love her consistent work, she’s amazing with my terrible in– grown issue and she’s just a precious gal to be around! I’m so thankful for the Nail Lounge.

Clean equipment and salon, cheerful décor and friendly staff. Manicure and pedicures last and they are always prompt, getting me in and out in a timely manner.

If I could I would give them TEN STARS! Literally every single person in this nail salon is wonderful. Very friendly, helpful, and they do the most gorgeous mani pedis in town. (A huge plus that they are suuuuuper conscientious about sterilizing and cleanliness so no worries about an ugly nail infection! :)

I highly recommend this salon and love the pedicures! Best practices for cleanliness — the motto is Good Clean Fun and they live up to it!

It’s been 2 weeks. Nail polish and nails chipping. I could understand if I paid $ 30.but $ 85? $ 85 for a lousy mani and pedi in a lousy environment!! Beware!!!

I love this place. It is the CLEANEST MOST SANITARY nail salon I’ve been to. And consistently so. I’ve been a regular for about a year and a half. And it’s always clean and they are always cleaning while you are there. They are friendly and down to earth. The clientele ranges from every day peeps to high end but everyone is made to feel comfortable and part of the family. The results are always good. My gel polish lasts for at least two weeks and my regular pedi for like 3 – 4 weeks. My gal is is Tanya. She never over does my cuticles or over trims. I had so many bad experiences at other places that once I experienced her professionalism and talent I have not deviated. She’s very gentle and also very down to earth. And consistently does a great job. She’s the only nail tech that I’ve gone to here. On that note though I’ve observed a high level of talent with all the other techs there. I’m just very loyal and think she’s a great fit for me. Yes the price is more than other places of inferior standards. So you are getting what you pay for. BUT another great thing is they have «mani Monday’s» and «tootsie Tuesday’s» where you can get the same great service at a discount – every time! It’s not just for first timers! You can get the deal over and over. Love the quality of the work and people here. Thank you Tanya and everyone at Nail Lounge Metro Pointe! (I forgot to add that I work in Costa Mesa– that’s how I found them. But I will drive from Long beach-​where I live– when I can’t get an appointment after work)

I love this place, they do such a great job! I usually go for the Mani Monday deal and always leave happy. I have been gettingnjust regular polish– and even that lasts at least 2 weeks! I have taken my daughter in for the kid’s Mani as well, and she loved it. The staff is great and you can book online!

I was recommended to The Nail Lounge by my podiatrist. This place is awesome and it is a reflection of the staff and the environment. Jacqueline was my technician and she worked magic on my toes. I appreciated the consultation time that I had with her and the owner, Cherie.
The salon is clean and fun! The design and comfortable chairs made the experience well worth it. Most of all, the true feeling of being welcomed and appreciated when you entered and exited the salon was a pleasure.
I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Hands down this place rules — generally I see Cherri but on occasion I see Mai. You can’t go wrong with any of the talent here. Super clean — I am licensed so I am always paying attention to detail. This by far is the cleanest the most friendly and you always walk away feeling like a million bucks. Another plus they do not do acrylic here so it doesn’t have obnoxious fumes.

As a nail tech myself (NOT at The Nail Lounge), I am laughing at these people who say they are shocked they can’t do walk-​ins. Any reputable nail salon/​spa usually requires an appointment, which only takes a minute or two to make! And as for the prices, those people need to understand that polish, gels, and the products used to sanitize the implements costs MONEY! If you are getting a $ 20 mani/​pedi somewhere else, chances are they are not sanitizing the tubs or implements or re-​using towels/​files/​toe separators, etc. (I have seen it… EW!)
Nail Lounge rocks :-)

I came here a couple weeks ago, Cherri gave me a pedicure. Let me say– she is the first of soooo many nail technicians that actually listened when I asked for short nails :) usually they just get filed or barely trimmed. She was also very attentive to my sensitivity, I don’t like having my cuticles jammed back with metal.
It was nice to enjoy a glass of Chardonnay and relax. So here it is 2 weeks later and my toes still look great! I like this spot, I will definitely be back.

My sister and I came here the other day to get our nails painted. Mimosas were had and a $ 5 off was given upon arrival. If you don’t like mimosas they have coffee or tea as well.
The place is super clean and they only use nail filers and buffers once. They sterilize everything else after every use.
The ladies that did my sisters and my nails were very kind and gentle. They took their time which I really appreciated. It made the experience super relaxing.
My sister and I brought in a photo of what we wanted and they copied it to a T. Thanks guys!
Great experience, great attention to detail, and all in all a relaxing experience. Thanks Nail Lounge!

Really nice nail salon. My friend made an appointment for us to get mani-​pedis. I didn’t know what to expect as I’d never heard of this place. Parking is a breeze-​private lot in a shopping strip mall.
It is brightly colored and all technicians are not Asian. Definitely different than the spots I’ve been to. The owner is a very enthusiastic lady who greeted me by name– I felt like a regular already! Awesome color selection on the wall– it was too hard to pick. I settled on a pretty mauve and a deep sparkly fuscia.
It was a great, clean experience. Though on the pricy side ($ 54 before tip), it’s a nice indulgence every now and then.

This is my absolute favourite nail salon. I don’t live in Newport Beach but have been coming here for years! (Needless to say I was happy when I got a job near it!) Everyone is so lovely and it starts when the super sweet receptionist calls to remind you of your appointment.
Everything they use has been sterilized and the containers you put your feet in are lined so it’s super clean (which is perfect for a neat freak like me) I’ve seen so many of their stylists and they’ve all been personable and professional.
Their spa pedicure is the best because they get so much dead skin off the bottom of your feet and they do a fantastic job with gels. I’m reminded why I come here any time I have to go somewhere else with friends for their birthdays or weddings!

I was totally screwed one day as I was desperately trying to get a nail appointment on 17^th street before my Vegas weekend and everywhere was booked. The Nail Lounge squeezed me in and from what I could recall did an AMAZING job!
A few months later (have been doing my nails myself due to my severely depressing budgetary restrictions of late), I was again in desperate need of a quick, clean, and excellent mani pedi. I called up The Nail Lounge and they again were able to squeeze me in.
I was thrilled. After all, The Nail Lounge is bright, clean, and the staff is friendly. The vibe is reminiscent of your favorite hair salon (i.e., you can chat about boyfriends and movies and get love life advice), rather than the typical nail salon where you are pretty sure the staff is talking crap about you in a language you don’t understand.
Anyway, I was kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying my wonderful foot massage and careful clipping of my cuticles and I remembered to ask how much the price was.
75 (PLUS tip of course, and I always give 20%) for a shellac mani and spa pedi (and that was a deal — they give discounts on Tuesdays). I would have walked out if my hands and feet weren’t currently soaking and the staff hadn’t just spent 20 minutes digging dirt out of my toe and finger nails.
Anxiety and panic set in. How the hell was I going to afford this??? This has got to be the most expensive mani pedi in the universe and I began to recall why I always ended up at the less sanitary and less enjoyable crappy salon down the street. Because I’m broke girl who lives life ballin’ on a budget. A sad tale to be sure.
Well, despite a minor glitch in the final coat (it had to be redone because it didn’t set property), my nails looked FREAKING AMAZING! Seriously, I got them done an entire THREE WEEKS AGO and they have not even the smallest chip yet. I’ve never seen anything like it, even for shellac. They usually come off after about 10 days and I pick them off and then my nails are completely destroyed until they grow out. I think I can probably get another week out of them although there is obviously that space at the bottom since they are starting to grow out. And trust me, I am SO HARD on my nails!
So, long story short, this place is expensive at heck, but they do an amazing job. Your nails won’t chip on vacay or for that wedding or whatever you have coming up. I have had three East Coast trips for work this month and I’ve been shaking hands with pride all November. A «good deal» if you get your nails done every week or two since they last so long.
Five stars and my favorite spot. I’m not even docking them for being so damn pricey because they are a semi-​swanky salon that isn’t promoting itself as a good deal and they do am amazing job. And you get what you pay for here.
If you can swing it financially, definitely choose The Nail Lounge. I’ll start saving for my next mani pedi now.
Oh, and the mani pedis are guaranteed for a week!

If you want a clean, amazing service, funky fun environment this is the place to go! The best part is that you can either call in to get an appointment, or you can book an appointment online! They have amazing colors available anything from casual, elegant, and fun. They have the polish you want. They offer drink beverages, that most people don’t even seem to know about AND, THEY HAVE FREE WIFI!!! Just ask and they will give you the keycode. Also take advantage of their Tootsie Tuesdays where you get a pedicure for half off, or Mani Mondays where they do the same.

I love this place. I love my nail girl Megan. She always has trendy ideas, my gels never lift and I’m even having her do my
Nails for my wedding.

The biggest reason I hesitate to upgrade my stars is because three days later my pedicure polish chipped randomly. I’m kinda bummed my pedicure might not be as long lasting as I would have hoped. Six days later and I can see the polish wearing off on my other toes. Typically my pedicures last two weeks with no chipping. Apart from that, I did enjoy my experience.
I have to give it to them, they are clean clean clean. I don’t mind wiggling my feet in the disposable liners since no one but my feet have touched it. The water also always stays hot because it’s constantly heating underneath you. I was offered a cup of filtered water while I waited. There’s a Keurig machine there for you to help yourself to as well.
My nail lady gave me a through pedicure, limited massage however but that’s ok. She gave me the option of a paraffin wax instead of a callous remover that it comes with. I never had one before, and it was a nice treat.
The ladies here are definitely more chatty with the clients than other places, a major reason being that everyone speaks english, so they can carry a conversation with you. I appreciated being acknowledged, however something about getting a pedicure makes me enjoy having an introverted moment to myself.
I went during their Tootsie Tuesday special where I got a full pedicure for the quickie price. $ 28 instead of $ 42. I don’t think I will return based on how quickly my polish faded. Maybe your experience will be different. I lead an active outdoor lifestyle that might lead my polish to fade quicker, however at other places my polish has lasted significantly longer.
