Allure Nails & Spa

A little over 7 weeks ago I had my fingernails done at this shop. I got a fungus infection under my nails about a week later. I have been on oral fungus medication for 6 weeks. My nails and fingers are still a mess. I won’t go back.
I still have nail fungus issues from my manicure. It is almost gone but not completely.

Two more not so great experiences. Both were for a pedi and a gel manicure. Last pedi my nails were trimmed at an angle and I ended up using the clippers to correct them myself in the salon and then they were repainted. This time my pedi is good and my nails have gel all over the cuticles; the gel is lumpy; they ate misshaped; and I asked for a specific design with a picture and they came out nothing like I asked. I want to give them a good review as they are in my neighborhood, but this is my 3^rd experience where there was a problem with my service.

Allure nail has been my go-​to nail spa for over year. There awesome prices and attention to detail keep me coming back week after week. I always ask for Cassandra for all my nail needs. She is always meticulous with her work and give awesome massages. Each time I get my nail done I always leave with perfectly trimmed cuticles, nail shaping exactly the way I asked and great pain job. So glad I discovered allure nail, I won’t be going any where else in the OC for my nail needs. Thank You to Cassandra for a great work you done for me.

Nice place. They did a great job and were very responsive to our needs. The staff is very professional, friendly, warm and welcoming

I came here for my first time pedicure and gel manicure (that they recommend for nails polish last long). And it was everything I’d hoped it would be. I love it ! I was having a bit of a stressful day but, as soon as I arrived, I immediately relaxed. This place is so clean from spa chair, new tools, fabulous services and good massage pressure on feet & legs. Great atmosphere and great prices. A nice day for me I’ll come in back soon.

I have never had acrylic nails that are so well sculpted and stay in place as long as when Kevin at Allure nails does mine. I have had acrylics for year because I do hair and with all the water and chemicals it is my only hope for decent looking hands. It has still in the past been a problem, all the water and chemicals I use are not good for fake nails… I would regularly loose a nail a week, but this is no longer the case. I’ve been seeing Kevin for about 6 months and with regular biweekly visits, my nails always look perfect, and I regularly have clients comment on how nice they look. Life changing! Thank you Kevin!

French manicure turned BROWN after just 2 days. Pedicure lasts a while but the short young 20-​something Asian girl with zits is a huge shit talker and will make an annoying comment about your cuticles in Vietnamese. But anyways, all nail salon Asians talk shit because they have nothing better to do in their mundane lives, so i think I’ll start going to an American salon and pay the extra $ 5-​$ 10.

Great Service! Even better people. I’ve been coming here for a pedicure for the past 2 years. Back in August of 2014 I was getting a manicure as well and removed my $ 8,000 rolex watch. I must have left in a hurry and forgot to put my watch back on my wrist. A few days later I couldn’t find my watch for the life of me. I checked everywhere and hadn’t remembered wearing it that day to allure nails. Today (4÷3÷2015) I walk in to allure to get a pedicure (I’ve been here about 3 – 4 times since August) and They bring me my watch. They say they have kept it for me and hoping I would come back! I’m floored right now. I’ve always appreciated the people here and today confirmed that even more. Lena is a sweetheart!

This salon is so close to my house I can literally walk to it. I tried it out of convenience but I’m coming back for the quality. I’m a viet girl from OC so I definitely know a thing or two about nail salons. This place is very clean and in new condition. Also the location is very low key and relaxing, you will not be fighting anyone for a parking space. I got a mani/​pedi. Cassandra was my tech for my french pedicure and it was amazing. Not only did it come out looking great, she gives the most amazing foot massage. Like the best I’ve ever had, she really puts a lot of care into it. I’ll definitely be returning to this salon. They accept credit card but try to pay with cash if you can, it’s easier for everybody.

Again I was very pleased with my experience. Lena and Vy did my manicure and pedicure. They were very efficient and friendly. The salon is clean and comfortable and everyone was very professional. I will surely return. I am a very satisfied customer.

I’ve been coming to Allure Nails for years now! I absolutely love this salon, they have so many color selections and my gels are always just the way I like them. They take time and make sure you get the best service. I love the new look of the place too very clean & bright, such friendly staff! I won’t go anywhere else

I came to Allure Salon with my sister and mom to get a mani & pedi before a wedding. We did not have a reservation and they took care of us right away. The staff was amazing– super friendly and attentive. It was a clean and professional environment they did a great job with all of us and we were very pleased with the visit. Thanks, Allure!

Since Ocean View Nails was booked I thought I would give this place a try. When trimming my cuticles the gal took a nice chunk of skin! Ouch! It bled for a good long time. I know accidents happen, and she was sincerely apologetic, however the quality of the other nails was lacking — no uniformity in the shape of my nails at all. Next time I will make an appointment at Ocean View!

When ocean view nails would not accommodate a walk in I came here. Right down the street, plenty of up front parking. It’s next to a barber shop by the old big lots.
They took care of my pedicure right away. The young man was very detail oriented and did a great job. Relaxing massage and scrub included. Nice way to spend the day off.
The place is very cute, nice décor and smells very good (fruity lotions and scrubs).
I will definitely give them my business again. Satisfied! :)

I went back and forth on whether or not to write this review because I’m not easily upset by poor customer service but ultimately I was pretty horrified by what happened so I felt like I must. I walked in on my birthday for a manicure/​pedicure and they said they could take me right away which was a big plus. The place itself is a little old and rundown, maybe not the cleanest place I’ve ever been to but pretty standard as nail salons go. While I was soaking my feet I noticed that they were very very price driven and tried to up sell both of the people in the chairs next to me– again I’ve found this to be pretty standard practice at nail salons so I wasn’t really bothered.
When my manicurist started cleaning up my cuticles is when it all went down hill. She was pretty distracted and it had been a little painful so far when she completely slipped and cut my cuticle. I started bleeding (pretty badly) and she was not wearing gloves. She kept pouring chemicals on my finger making it burn worse (I was trying not to cry) and pressed her bare hand onto my bleeding finger trying to make it stop. She tried to keep my manicure going until I finally forced her to get some antibacterial soap so I could wash my hand and clean the wound. She somehow managed to finish the manicure but it was a terrible paint job– the polish was too thick so there was an uneven gap at the top of the nails. I will say I had no complaints about my pedicure but I was so horrified by what was happening with my hands I didn’t enjoy it.
Aside from an insincere apology they didn’t offer any discount in exchange for my awful experience.
I am appalled by how unsanitary the whole situation was. Needless to say I will NEVER go back.

Came here as a last resort before my vacation and I will never return. I came in for a pedi and was obviously not a priority because I sat there with my feet in the water for about 15 minutes before anyone even touched them. Once the pedicure began the lady was incredibly rude and had zero regard for my comfort. Terrible experience.

I’ve been trying new nail salons in San Clemente but yet I always come back here. It’s clean, they are super friendly, and have a great selection of nail color. They always have a water bottle ready for you when you are seated which is rare for nail salons around here. It’s never that busy probably because it’s a little hidden. Best part are their prices completely reasonable for a textbook service. There are salons that may have more stars that I have had horrible experiences with…(Final touch) but as I always suggest make sure to read filtered reviews

Walked in 5 minutes after they closed without an appointment. and they still took me! Van was very sweet, she did not rush, she took her time an did a fantastic job. I kept apologizing for her having to stay past closing for me and she kept saying it was ok and not to worry.
Van — you are AWESOME! Thank you :)

I was in need for a full set so I stopped here. The staff was friendly and took me in right before closing.
The place is dirty, old dust everywhere, the floors had caked on dirt and the spa chairs had dirt splatters all over the bottom half. The stations are dirty, and the wash station is dirty. They reuse the nail files and buffers.
The nail tech did ok on my acrylic set and made any adjustments to my nails as I asked but I’ve have better. And she was too rough with her filling and burned the side of my finger. Her polish did job looked great though.
One star for friendly customer service & taking me in late, and one for a great polish job, that’s all.
