Mai is the COFFIN QUEEN she made my nails beautiful and the most beautiful coffin shape. She takes her time with you and guarantees that if you're not happy she will remake them for you, it's amazing!!I always break a nail and if you get your nails with her she will fix it for you at NO CHARGE!! OMG!! Read Less

I hate giving bad reviews but I had a horrible experience here. To start it off, when I got there, the lady who greeted me was extremely rude. I called and made an appt in advance and when I got there they asked me what I needed done 3 times. Sat me in a chair for a manicure, and then I had to remind them again that I needed a pedicure as well. They hurt me multiple times while doing my nails and to top it off the paint job looks absolutely horrible.*If you tend to get gel and have them take it off for you, they have you soak your hands in a bowl of acetone instead of wrapping foil with cotton around your finger tips. ONLY thing good about the place is the price, but then again I'd much rather pay $15-20 for good customer service and a good paint job.Also, don't know why it's called "Modern Nails" because the place is a mess and needs some re-decorating.

Such an amazing place! The service is amazing and the staff are wonderful! I got a wax and gel nails done. The boss lady, Mai, is a true boss woman. Always professional, courteous, and willing to hear you out. I think a lot of dissatisfied customers are reviewing the wrong shop and mix up the name with similar names. I would highly recommended this place than any other! Read Less

I am so happy I found this nail salon!! Mai is the only person I have found in Orange County that does the perfect ombré coffin shape nail! The color and shape is perfect every time. Very clean and affordable as well :) Read Less

I had a good experience here. There was no wait! I walked in and they took me right away. I got a manicure. My technician was fast and efficient. She gave me a full arm massage with sugar scrub and finished it off with a warm towel. 20 - Twenty I'll be back. Read Less

I was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I stopped by! Mai was friendly, helpful and very kind! I wanted something spooky for October and she delivered. I will be coming back, I'm glad I've finally found a great nail salon! Read Less

I hate leaving semi not good reviews, so I added a star. I used to go to the owner years back, now its kinda been my back up plan. I went this weekend and the girl who was cutting cuticles took off about 3 layers, and not once did I hear sorry or an apology. My finger bled until the end of the gel process so we couldn't even paint that nail until all were finished. Now I know mistakes happen, but I felt a simple sorry we sawed your cuticle off would of went a long way. Instead I paid and left, still tipped her but I think service has just went down hill a bit. Sad I do love the ladies there, and its typical a decent job! Read Less

Five stars all the way for this nail salon! I have been going to this nail salon for a few years. They do an amazing job. Reasonable prices with great customer service. Very friendly ladies who make sure you are happy with your nails when you leave. Mai and Nancy are fantastic! Read Less

Sorry to say, but i felt like i was getting a mani-pedi from a gorilla. Very rough and almost angry! must have been having a bad day. plus they need to clean it up a bit. i really liked this place a year ago. too bad. Read Less

Went here with gels on my nails needing to be removed. Gels are SOAK OFF but instead she started sawing at my nails with a file to fully remove the old gels. I kept saying OW and "that hurts" and asked for her to soak first... she touched the nail with one swipe of remover before going back to filing again. Needless to say, VERY PAINFUL for already thin nails from the gels. Won't be back. Read Less

I had a horrible experience a week ago. First, i wanted go and talk to them but I have no time, so I write a review. My husband wanted to make a surprise for me and got a gift certificate for $30(!!!) regular ped and mani which cost $25. And when he walked in he seen that lady who was enjoying her ped, mani on a massage chair and getting a head massage (!!!) so he asked if I'll get the same and they said yes, for that certificate! So when I came to get my mani and pedi with the massage, I got not even a massage chair but regular plus they said my certificate is only $25 (but my husband paid $30) so I have to pay extra for everything!!! Here's what for, to take my gel off which was a house made, so it is super thin! And you can peel it off. But they got my nails destroyed plus the color got is under the nail and she thought inside! And made my nails super thin with her file and was saying like oh, your nails so bad, so thin but she made them this way!!! Plus the one said I need to pay extra $10 for gel, another said $15 and after they got "in fight" on their language and all of them said $15. But I had to pay only $5(!!!). And give tips to everyone who worked of course... so they lied to my husband, they destroyed his gift, they destroyed my day and nails!!! Plus they overcharged me for everything, even just for get in!!! And I got no massage and horrible service! Read Less

I've been coming to this little gem consistently for the last few months and I love the ladies who work here. Mai, the owner, tints and waxes my eyebrows every three weeks which makes my morning routine quick and easy. Bella works her magic on my fingers and toes. Every lady here does a fantastic job and possesses a great attitude. They'll do just about anything you ask and they are awesome with special requests. Bella remembers how I like my nails and also remembers the products I'm allergic to (because of my sensitive skin). I give this place 5 stars because of the outstanding customer service, pleasant and clean environment, and fair pricing. Read Less

This place is great! It's not expensive and they always get me in without an appointment. I mainly go for my waxing here, THEY ROCK! I don't wear nail polish topically but if I am looking for a mani pedi, this isn't he only place I'll go. Read Less

The owner Mai took care of me and I had a great first experience! She even gave me a coupon, I'll be back for sure ! I am happy with my fill and the color I chose, she took her time with me and made me feel welcome. I can see why she has so many return  customers: Read Less

I've been coming to modern nails for about 6 months because my boyfriend found them and made me an appointment & now they are my favorite ! My nails (full set w gel & fills) always come out exactly how I want them and never have to wait or deal with a rude staff. They are so friendly and professional This is by far my favorite  and I'll definitely send my friends Read Less

This review is long over due. I've been coming here for about a year and I have never been disappointed. My nails always look AMAZING when I leave. All of the women working here are great!  I can always walk in and get my nails done that day but if you want to see Miy it would be best to make an appointment. I love this place because they always put the customer first and when I broke one of my nails they not only fixed it for no charge but refreshed and shined up both hands to make them look on fleek till my next visit. Thank you so much for always taking care of me!Jessika Read Less

I love this place! I've been coming here for about 6 months or so. Everyone is super friendly and sweet. I always return to see Vickie to get my nails done. She listens and does my nails exactly how I like them...even when I want to constantly change my style. She's really great! I definitely recommend her Read Less

I had a coupon for Modern Nails and thought I would try it. It's tucked away behind La Cave in Costa Mesa, but I am so glad that I went. John does an awesome job at manicure. The ladies there are always really nice. I have finally found a place that I will continue to give my business, because the prices are cheaper than anywhere else too! Thanks Modern Nails! Read Less

I have been going to Modern Nails for 20 years!!! I LOVE this place. The girls are so nice, they are constantly upgrading and just recently got all new equipment...again. Their prices are so low and if you need a fill, Mai is the best in OC. I can't say enough about this place. My friends have occasionally dragged me elsewhere and I am always disappointed and end up running back to Modern Nails.Read Less
