3 Thirty 3 Nail Bar - Irvine (CA)

2 /5 Jay Dick: z my nails done as a walk in on Saturday 8/24. I double checked with the people at the front and they confirmed that they had time to take a walk in. I asked for short gel-x and simply nail art. I was served very quickly and it seemed like the nail tech was efficient with her work and knew what she was doing. At the "end" she applied cuticle oil, asked me to wash my hands, started to pack up her tools, and asked me to pay. I never got the nail art done. When I got home, I noticed a lot of sloppy work, crooked application, and general mistakes throughout. The photos show this. Im not sure if they were rushed or what, but I definitely do not recommend this salon. +2 stars because I was served quickly and the people at the front were nice.

1 /5 Cozy Gonzalez: Do. Not. Go. Here. Came here with my best friend to get our nails done on 13/25. Hardly anyone was inside and they were accepting walk-ins. Both of us got the exact same service of gel manicures. The service was fast but sloppy. The lady doing my nails cut me pretty sharply with the dremel she was using (I have no idea why she was using that as I had nothing on my nails) and just dunked my nails in cold water and didn’t do anything else. Several hours after and my cut still stings :( And the best part was I paid $55 dollars and my friend paid $33! For what? I have no idea. We got the exact same service with no designs or extra additions. Just color. You guys are terrible!

1 /5 Pegah A: I got my nails done here a week and a half ago. I called ahead of time to ask for the price for regular dip powder with no tip. They quoted me $45 and so I decided to go in. When I went to pay the lady charged me an extra $10 just to take the dip off. Nobody mentioned anything about a dip takeoff charge. I have never ever been to a nail salon that charges you to take the dip off if you’re getting a new dip set done there. The only time I’ve ever seen someone charge you to take it off is if you’re only taking it off and not having dip done again. Nobody mentioned this when I had called and I thought it was really unprofessional that it doesn’t say anything about that on their services information. It’s just bizarre why you would charge me to take it off if I’m getting a new color done there. It only makes sense if I’m taking it off and not getting my nails done again. Why wouldn’t you just put that in your total price instead of making it look cheaper than it really is and then sneaking that cost up on people when they go to pay. Also please just look at the state of my nails after a week and a half. I have never ever had dip done and had it last a week and a half with this many nails chipping. My nails always last at least 3 weeks anywhere else I’ve done dip and rarely ever have any chipping issues. . Absolute worthless job done and a waste of money. I definitely don’t recommend you getting your nails done here.

2 /5 Manoela Reis: Update: Just after this review the nail polish completely peeled out of my nail by itself. I’ve never seen this before in my entire life. I usually don’t do bad reviews, but I’ve been getting my nails done at this place for a bit over 3 years and I’ve seen too much. Nails are not as good, but it was practical and close to home, so I just kept on going there. I overlooked poor service and bad attitude from people there several times. I’ve watched techs laugh at clients, gaslight them and treat them poorly before, but I also chose to ignore it because it was the easiest choice. I was already kind of upset because one of the techs completely destroyed my nails removing gels and blamed me for NOT WANTING TO KEEP THEM, as if having my regular nails was the issue, not her problem. This time, which to me was the last drop, I got my nails done on Tuesday night, I was the last customer out. On Wednesday, I noticed the toenails were poorly painted, but I did not complain. However, on Thursday morning my fingernails were all chipped and the polish was lifting. Within two days of getting my nails done, I called them to see if I could have them repaint the nails and I was told that they would not do it because it could be my fault. I work an office job and I did not do anything harsh, so there’s no explanation besides bad product or application. The person on the phone told me I could only get a guarantee if I got gel, which I had done before with them and it was not only THICK and bad, but also ruined my nails. So I do not recommend and I will not be coming back to this place ever again.
