Let's put in this way, I am from San Francisco and when I visit my parents in Tustin, I make my mom drive me (or let me borrower her car) so I can drive down to Newport Beach to Elegant Nail Boutique to have my nails done. Trish and her team do an amazing job and I love that she remembers who I am even though I only drop by a few times a year. I have tried and tried every place recommended to me in Tustin and none compare to the quality of the mani/pedi you get here. My only regret is that I am now sharing how wonderful this place with the masses so what might have been my special-secret-spot, may not be so secretive anymore. But the ladies here deserve the applause so it needed to be done! Read Less

I was lured in by the proximity and the Yelp deal--$25 gel mani for first-timers. I gravitated towards the new chrome colors and then I was informed they take more time so wouldn't come under the deal. "$35 for chrome," said Christine, "It's $50 down the street." Okay. She also talked me into a pedi for $19. I wavered and finally caved. So they got to work. The chrome is a few more layers than a regular gel, more chances to get it wrong. The results:' a lumpy and in some spots rough finish with a lot of mess around my cuticles and glitter dust--which was washed away somewhat. I brought the lumpiness to her attention. No mirror finish here. She called over Annie and Emily (they also work there) who inspected, but stayed silent. I was the last client of the day. She "fixed" two of the rough spots which really meant sanding down the spot and then reapplying 3 more coats of chrome and clear so it looked lumpy still. And one of my pinkies they was redone is still sticky. Really? Before I had agreed to the pedi--remember I had come in for a gel mani only--said she had those throw away flip-flops. As my toes neared their drying cycle she said I'd be fine with a little oil. ?!?Everyone knows that it takes a good 2 hours for regular nail lacquer to cure. I came in with hard, close-toed leather loafers. I said, 'I just saw you with some yellow flip-flops, I am going to need something.' The other worker said they gave the last pair to a previous client who had left as I was sitting down. Really? Christine, who seemed to be the head tech on duty that day who did my gel mani, kept repeating that she was giving me a deal. Their regular pedi's are $30. Many salons discount their services on slow days, like the Tuesday I received my services. Plus, I would never pay a discounted rate for shoddy service...oh... but I did. After I expressed that my toes definitely are not dry, she said if they got messed up, I could come back. We just talked about my being out of town and here on business. Consistently inconsistent.I won't be going back here to say the least for a few reasons:1. They gaslight you2. When they do a bad job they don't correct it3. And they don't do a good job in the first placeThe woman who did my toes was the only, partial saving grace to this waste of time and money.Pay the $50 for the chrome gel down the street. Read Less

Best mani/pedi in town!! My gel manicure lasted perfectly for 3 almost 4 weeks! They are all so sweet and really cater to you. They have so many colors to choose from and take walks ins or make an appointment to guarantee. I hate getting manicure because it chips within a week but their gel last and it's so worth it!

Trang is the new owner of this salon as of 5 months ago. I must say I am in love with her work ethics. She will spend her time on you and make sure you're completely satisfied even if it means her staying after closing time. Her prices are ridiculously cheap considering her salon is in Newport Beach. I went in today to get gel  manicure with designs and gel pedicure. I came in at 530 and I didn't realize she closes at 6pm. She didn't even try to turn me away. She took her time on me and made sure the length and design was right. She didn't get done with me until 730pm! I want to in courage anyone who has got their nails done here to write her business a review. Ladies, we need nail salon like hers to stay in business to keep our nails looking their best! Read Less
