About

NailsNeedLove Studio operates from a shopping plaza on the corner of 17th Street and Irvine Avenue in Costa Mesa, next to Chixy Natural and Nguyen's Kitchen. Parking in the plaza is free of charge. Hours run Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm, and Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm. Services are offered to women and men.

The menu covers manicures, pedicures, nail enhancements, nail art, nail repairs, gel and polish changes, removals, a mini manicure and pedicure menu for children under 11, and waxing. The salon describes itself as one of the best nail salons in Costa Mesa and says its technicians' years of experience help guarantee customer satisfaction. These are the salon's own claims.

For extensions, Gel X is done with the Apres soft gel extension system, and acrylic full sets are also offered. Hybrid Gel or Poly Gel is described as a gentler alternative to acrylic, and Builder Gel uses a stronger type of gel. Dipping powder is built from pigmented powder layers and includes gel polish. Acrylic enhancements can be infilled after two to three weeks.

Manicures run from a basic service with polish to the NailsNeedLove Manicure, which adds a hand milk soak, pearl sugar scrub, hand mask, paraffin and a 10-minute hand massage. Pedicures use a choice of soaks, including sea salt, green tea, pearl, lemon grass and a coconut milk and rose petal blend, with callus treatments and massage. Gel polish can be added to most pedicures for an additional $20.

Hygiene is part of the routine. The salon says it follows the state's sanitation guidelines at every step, sterilizes and disinfects implements after each use, uses buffers and files only once before discarding them, and places liner protection on every pedicure. Gel nail repairs carry a 7-day guarantee: if a gel nail chips, cracks or lifts within that window, it is fixed at no charge. That guarantee does not cover regular polish or gel polish changes. Clients should arrive on time, since there is a 10-minute grace period after which appointments may be shortened or cancelled depending on the schedule. The salon also reserves the right to refuse future services to clients who repeatedly cancel at the last minute or do not show up.
