Essence Nail Studio - Woodbridge - Irvine (CA)

5 /5 Kim Rodriguez, CPH, RHIT, ODS: I go to both locations but more recently I have really enjoyed Woodbridge. I have Amy do my pedi and she does a fantastic job meeting my needs as a diabetic. Quinn has been doing my nails for over 6 months and I definitely feel like Ive found my local favorite with her! I show her inspo pictures and she makes it happen. The vibe is very calm and relaxing. I never feel like they are in a rush to get me out the door. They make sure Im always comfortable and that I like everything every step of the way. They are super accommodating. Quinn & Amy are the best!

2 /5 Joyce Euna Kim: Edit: It’s been 5 days since I got my nails done and 4 nails have completely peeled off. I’ve never had this happened before and I’ve been getting gels for years and years. Here’s an updated photo day 8. All the nails popped off and now my nails are SO fragile and ripping because theyre so paper thin. Original post: I really like how Christy does my nails… she’s gentle and the outcome is always nice. She doesn’t grind off my nail harshly like the other techs. My gels last forever until they grow out. Did not enjoy my nails with another male tech. My nail is peeling off day 1. He was aggressive with the nail file, too harsh with the cuticle cutting. Not happy with it. Ended up asking him to give me the file so I can do it myself

5 /5 Ashley Montmorency: Love my nails! I came in a little unsure what to get but Quinn helped me pick this super cute tortoise shell pattern to match my watch. She was fabulous and I highly recommend!

5 /5 Sabrina Vu: This was my second time visiting! Loved my first set so much, and they lasted 4 weeks without and breaks or lifting. I decided to come back to get a take off and new set. She was super gentle with the take off so my real nails wouldn’t get damaged. And I loooove my new set, it looks just like the design I requested

5 /5 Jessi Hearty: Phoebe did an amazing job on my nails today. I had never done GelX before and I’m in love. She also did the most amazing job on the design, this is my favorite set I’ve ever gotten! I 1000% recommend!!
