Alpha Nails

I went for Full set. Did a crappy job on my nails. The lady was rushing a lot. didn’t paint my nails on the side. Did not clean the excess polish on my skin and back of the nail. I asked can you paint my 4 yr old’s nail. said I am busy now. the gel is all uneven. Please do not go here.

I walked in to this salon when I was visiting Anaheim and had some time to waste. I got my acrylic nails filled and painted. The girl did fix my nails and make them a lot thinner than the original person did. However, she charged me more than I was quoted and one of my nails fell off in less than a week. I live in Nevada so it’s not like I can go in and have her put a new nail on.

I came in her a few years ago and they globed on the nail polish he wouldn’t dry. I was so annoyed. I was close by and thought i’d give them another chance. This time got a gel manicure. The colors I was not impressed with. My toes were down way before my nails and yet they still got all messed up and wouldn’t dry. The gel is okay but the lady cut the heck out of my cuticles that i was bleeding! I won’t be going back. $ 55 dollars later I’m definitely not recommending this place. The ladies aren’t warm and welcoming either.

Really like this place. I had a gel manicure from V (station 1 — there are two «V’s» at this salon). She takes her time, is very steady and thorough, and is really professional and nice.
Also, their gel sample colors are often combos of two colors. The colors have a lot of depth because of this, and I’ve found a ton more shades to try that I don’t see at other salons. Definitely recommend.

Fiona did a great job on my nails. She took a long time working on my cuticles to make sure they were perfect. She was so sweet and was talking to ME unlike so many places where they all talk about you so you can’t understand. I’d definitely recommend her. There’s $ 1 charge for a credit card which always bugs me.

I came here for a mani-​pedi as a walk-​in and It was horrible. The ladies kept talking to each other and were inconsiderate. My nails were ok though some weren’t painted all the way to the sides.
Then I came back to give them another try, just to have my gel manicure removed and this one lady COMPLETELY ruined my nails! She scratched them up and are now uneven! I don’t like this place at all. Don’t come here.

WORST NAIL SALON EVER! Do not go here!!! The guy is a complete jerk. They talk shit about u so obviously in their language. My gel peeled in one day and I went back to get it fixed and he was so rude. Yelled at me in front of the whole salon. Then the lady started to fix it with DIRTY tools. She was squeezing my finger and hurting me. I just got up and said give me my money back. And walked out. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!

There is one girl there, very sweet so I stayed to get pedicure as well. Nails were ok although she nicked me, but the man that works there would NOT shut up. It was AWFUL and NOT relaxing at all. This older very bossy «b*tchy» lady came in from talking on her phone out back in her car and was ANNOYED to have to work.
I have NORMAL nails, actually thin nails and she used the dog clippers on me which I have NEVER had used on me anywhere before. SHE ALMOST CHOPPED OFF MY ENTIRE SECOND TOENAIL annoyed at having to work and also because the guy that works there was yapping like a tweaker.
I have been to nail salons all over LA and OC, and this place has HORRID sterilizing practices, picking clippers from various bins, did not even know if was clean on who used on before — no class at all.
I actually feel bad because it must be Vicky who is the sweet girl that works in the back, but the OLD LADY and the TWEAKER dude made this the most ghetto place I have ever been to. I have never felt such rude behavior in even the most hood deep nailshops in LA.
NO CLASS, NO STERILIZING PRACTICES, NEVER AGAIN, tell everybody I work with around here that it looks nice and clean when you walk in, but they are careless and disgusting.
and I paid for extra services that were sloppy and a rip-​off — save yourself and find a great salon on Unilocal — maybe they have bad days but stay away from the tweaker dude and the old PRETENTIOUS lady… they are rude and ruin the entire experience making this a #1 rip-​off!

Love my girl Vicki! And if she’s not available I go to Amy, she’s great too :)

I live right around the corner so when I first came here a few months ago, it was mainly for convenience and because it was last minute. I have now gotten at least one full set, three fills and one pedicure. Mostly Nina has been doing nails, but a few other ladies have jumped in when she was busy and I came in last minute. Because of my schedule I can’t make appointments, but they always fit me in and I don’t think I have had to wait more than 15 mins. They have always done a great job, so I am not sure why the bad reviews and they are all very nice.

Came here because it was close… made sure to ask about what type of Gel Brand they use and they use the good stuff — gelish — had Vicki for my Pedicure and Gel Nail Manicure! She spoke perfect english and was super friendly! She suggested I changed my original nail gel color bc the color was runny and wouldn’t last or look good! It was very nice of her to care and inform me rather than just do the ‘service’! I will be back and ask for Vicki… prices are reasonable too!

Loved this place! Made a reservation. They got me in. Vi was lovely! She did a thorough and perfect job in just over an hour. Gel nails and spa pedi for $ 43.
Friendly staff and cleanly! I will definitely return!!!

I live across the street from this salon and don’t believe I will ever go back. I shouldn’t say never but it would only be if this was the only place I would be able to get too. There are a couple of people I came in contact and felt they was nice an professional, but it only take one to make a bad impression. I got a facial and pedicure and was satisfied but the technician worked on my nails by the name of Helen, I do not recommend her to work on my pet. She was very rude and acted like she was so superior and did not care if I came back or not, very poor customer service skills. I am a happy go lucky person and very kind, I do not like to speak un-​kindly about anyone but the experience with this person, I am very surprise she work there, I hope she is not the owner, I can see why many people from the neighborhood don’t go there.

The ladies here talk a lot of crap in their language. I went with a friend that understood all that they were saying.

the girl who did my gel manicure did a horrible job and i hated it. she was super ruse and i would never go back there as well.
I am not vietnamese but understand most of them bc i used to live in vietnam when i was little. Of course they didnt know that so they literally talked so much smack about me «in my face» and about other customers as well–
I did not like my visit here, do not go here

Sorry, but telling me that the wait will be three minutes and then letting twenty minutes go by without a single word doesn’t work for me. Walked out.

Lazy, unprofessional, I could have done a better job myself with my left hand. I want my money back. Came here to get a polish change on my lunch break and was very dissapointed, not only did they try and bully me into getting a full «spa» mani pedi, they left reminants of my old nail color on my nails. Very dissapointed.

I come here with my girlfriend once in a while for my pedicure.
We always make an appointment with Vicky, as she is very personable and friendly.
They have nice massage chairs and the place is inviting as the mural inside is a nice touch.

In the 10 years I have been getting acrylic nails this is by FAR the worst set I have EVER had! I decided to try Alpha because it is right next to my gym — convenience is NOT worth having HORRIBLE nails! I thought I was getting a pink and white but instead I ended up with disgusting yellow tinted tips from what I’m told is from using old product. Also, every nail is different thicknesses in different spots. To top it off, I had the gel coat done to keep them shiny but what I ended up with was a bubbly MESS that when they tried to fix just got worse! The staff was very friendly but that doesn’t make up for the fact my nails look awful!

Returned on Saturday 06÷05÷10 around 11:00am and they totally redeemed themselves.
I got an awesome fill and rather than doubling up my pedi and fill to turn the chair they let me relax and take up a spa chair after my fill. I ended up with extra massage, foot scrub and a super cute design for the same cost as before.
Much better, thanks!
