Forever Nails & Spa

I was buying hair stuff in a beauty supply store and complimented the clerk on her awesome acrylic nails. Since I was looking for a new nail salon, I asked where she got them done – Forever Nails. SOOOOOOO happy I got her recommendation!
I have been here twice now and they do an absolutely superb job. I’ve only had acrylics for just over a year now, and have been to 5 salons. Forever Nails blows them all away! My nails look great and feel great! At the previous place I went, a few of my nails would be loose by the time I went for a fill-​even if it was only 10 – 12 days. After my first trip to Forever, no nails were loose – and I waited 17 days! One of my nails is split and water gets underneath it, so it has to come off every few months. At the last place, she would would cut into it to remove the acrylic and it would be seriously excruciating! And I have a pretty high tolerance for pain. At Forever, she was so gentle and did not cut my nail: she filed it until she could pick it off with her own nails – completely painless!
Forever is super clean, nicely decorated – and always busy. They take walk-​ins, but you’ll save time if you make an appointment.

New to the area I began searching for a new nail place. I came across this salon on Unilocal,saw the reviews and decided to give it a try. The girls were very nice. One gave me a bottle water upon entering the store. I believe Vivian did my pedicure and Tanya did my manicure. They are kinda on the pricey side! So be ready to spend $$! Gel manicure with 2 nail designs and pedicure came to about $ 80. Definitely more than what I am used to paying. The pedicure was just okay, nothing extraordinary. My manicurist did a good job and gave an soothing massage! Overall a good experience.

*nail salon in Costa Mesa, CA**
Never had acrylics done but for vday, I think I deserved something special after so many years of hard work. I don’t ever get manis or pedis so this was a treat. Arrived for my 9am appt with Annie. Told her I wanted something special for vday. I’d definitely go back to her. But maybe not til next vday. $ 57! I wanted to cry. I only got fake nails bc my real ones chipped. Yayee for fake nails but boo for robbery prices lol.
**You get bottled water.
**Ample parking
**Professional nail artists
**Vietnamese but they can understand some English
I also had a pedi done the same time as my mani. I just hate the smell of nail salons. I lost quite few brain cells. ;(
Thanks for reading. :)

LOVE THIS NAIL SALON!!! I had been been looking for salons and had no good experiences. However, after reading several reviews, I was convinced to come down here. As soon as I arrived, I was sat down and asked to choose a color. Kim took care of me. She carefully took off my recently and awfully applied acrylic set and filed my nails done exactly how I asked. She did an AMAZING AMAZING JOB. This is definitely my go-​to now!!!

They do great job.
But the receptionist is not very nice when they are busy. Even rude sometimes.
I asked who has the longest experience? & she said I don’t know. How do I know.
It’s all about customer service.

Place is very clean and it smells great. You can’t even smell the fumes of acrylic or polish. Staff is friendly and very attentive to detail. Love May she’s great doing pedicures and gel nails.

I’ve been coming here for the last 2 years for gel polish and all I can say is they take care of my nails. My nails are real and I have gone to places that would file my nails so much to be able to soak them to remove the old polish. And damage them so badly that they break. But this place understands me. I love them for it. Valerie and her staff know what they’re doing. And they have a huge selection of colors.

Only reason I’m giving this 2 stars is because of my last experience here. I wasn’t too happy with my results & it mostly had to do with the manicurist. She was kinda harsh on my nails & my hands got sweaty due to minor pain. Towards the end it felt as though she just wanted me out. She pulled my arm to paint as my other one got dry. When she pulled my nail touched the fan taking some of the paint off. It was noticeable & she didn’t bother to fix it. I’ll make sure not to go to her again. Vivian though, has been the best one I’ve had there HIGHLY recommend. She takes her time & is gentle.

I went to forever nails and spa for the first time yesterday. We made an appointment for 4, but could not make it right on time the manager/​supervisor was very gracious and still tried to squeeze us in even though they were so busy.
The girls who did my nails were great and very thorough. The only thing that I would change was a got nicked on my hands. Besides that I loved it all! My nails and toes look great and I look forward to going back!

I have been going here for 3 years. I can not say enough about Annie! She does the Best nails! People stop me to look at my hands! All the girls are very nice! It’s very welcoming and it feels like home! But my nails ladies. If you like creative, stylish, trending acrylic nails. See Annie

Always da best nails shop. I like Valerie she’s really good at details and customer service like she never makes me wait more than 5 minutes and free bottle water. They have all kind of great colors there and also spa chairs are clean and nice. It’s always busy there appointment needed!

Annie did an awesome job on my nails, Pink Ombré! Come in here every two weeks two get my nails done with a gel manicure by Annie and she never disappoints.

They are always jam packed here and regardless they always are able to seat me in and take care of my nails. I’ve had my previous set in for a month (ahh I was a little lazy) but let me tell you, they never even lifted! I just happened to be around the area and decided it was time to get my fill!
They take such good care of me, I can’t imagine getting my nails done elsewhere because they are seriously super nice and good at what they do!
Another satisfied visit!

I love Valeri but since she was busy I got Christeen and she was good too. These ladies so an amazing job! Best nail place ever!

I have been getting my nails done at Forever Nails for the past year. I have a catering business and my hands are always in the sink (washing my hands 100x/​day, doing dishes, etc), so I have never had a gel manicure last more than a week. That all changed when I started going to Forever Nails. My gel manicure lasts 3 – 4 weeks despite being tortured on a daily basis. I am VERY picky when it comes to my nails so believe me when I say that Christeen and Annie are the BEST manicurists in the business. They both take the time to make sure that my manicure is flawless. I have been to many other salons where the manicurists are sloppy and rushing to get to the next customer. I have NEVER felt that way at Forever Nails.
It is pretty easy to get an appointment with one of my girls, but even when I have to walk-​in, I always have a great experience. Jackie and Mary are awesome as well and they are always sweet and friendly. I get compliments on my nails almost daily and I always tell them to go to Forever Nails!

For the past 4 years I’ve only had one person do my nails and that person moved away; so I need to find another nail salon to go to since I was going to person house for the past years. I decided to go back to Atlas Studio since I was going there before I found my person. I never thought I would be so happy in the morning that I went to atlas around when they opened and sat in their studio for approximately 20 minutes and still got no acknowledgment of my presence, but I can hear talking in the back. I finally left. Luckily forever was right across the street. Thank you atlas for not serving me because it led to find my new go to place. I’ve only been to forever twice since I’ve been going, I am definitely over due on my nails, but I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else now, but Forever Nails.
The last time I was at forever, I came pretty late and they would stay open even when it was close to closing time. I was really surprised that they still wanted to take care me in at the time because for sure they would have to stay back after closing hours for me. That made me pretty happy cause I really didn’t know where to go. I was even happier when I got Annie to do my nails for me again. She is so meticulous in her work and she has a good read on my preferences. I had a different person do my feet for me and I wasn’t really feeling the color too much and Annie knew right away. She insisted that I let her change it for me even though we finished way past closing time. Nail salon of the year

Just wanted to update my review since I’ve been coming to this nail salon for a full year. I absolutely love all the ladies and the atmosphere in the salon. They are always steadily busy which means they do an amazing job bookings and walk-​ins.
Annie has given my nails life every time she touches them. I can’t count how many people ask me about my nails. Always in perfect shape, design, and color. She takes designs I bring in and adds her own spin on it, and BOOM… Awesomesauce nails for 2 to 3 weeks.
Even though I’ve moved to Mission Viejo I still come up to CM just to see Annie. Love this place!

So glad I found this little gem! All of the ladies here are very nice and professional. The salon is clean and they have good music playing (at the perfect volume, not too loud like some of the other places.) The massage chairs are all comfortable and have good massage settings.
Today Amy did my nails and she did a great job. I am ridiculously specific with what I want, and I showed Amy a picture and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I used to just do gel polish but wanted a little more strength and structure. So we did a very very thin and short acrylic. Never thought I’d go acrylic but I love these because they are so natural.

Omg. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. I go here every month and my girl, Christeen, does my nails perfect each time. Her attention to detail is spot on. I’ll admit I’m Extremely picky when it comes to my nails, but Christeen never fails to amaze me. :) she’s very fast n creative with her designs. You won’t be disappointed with her. When I’m here, I usually go to Christeen, but if she’s busy any of the other girls are great too. All of them are so sweet and professional. The tools are all sterilized in little bags. Lots of nice gel colors to choose from.

My first time here was yesterday (Friday evening) I called ahead to see if there would be a wait and the lady said about 15 – 20 minutes because of the high volume in customers… I got there and was greeted right away, told to pick a gel color for my gel manicure and then have a seat!
The wait was maybe about 10 minutes (they were busy) and Tanya did my nails, she recommended that I get acrylics to achieve the look/​length that I wanted (: I said okay. She also told me that the price would be $ 46 instead of $ 30? For the gel manicure. That to me is pretty damn pricey which is the only reason I gave 4 stars. But it’s my bday week what the heck.
Everything went well! I’ll definitely go back hopefully to see Tanya again (:
She also informed me that I should go back and ask for a «fill» in about two weeks for $ 15 I can file my nails and also change the color (:
Very satisfied!
