Divine Nails And Lashes Reviews, Prices, Services, Photos

I’ve been going to Divine for about a year now, everyone here does an amazing job every single time I come in. Today, I wanted a different color French tip on every single nail. Tiffany did the best job, was patient with me picking all of my colors, and I couldn’t be more obsessed with my manicure. Quyen did my pedicure and also did an amazing job, the foot and leg massage was so relaxing and she corrected the ingrown on my left toenail (feels so much better). I love coming to Divine.

I had the worst experience today at a nail salon out of all the nail places I’ve ever been to. It’s located in the mall right in front of my apartment, so I thought I’d give it a try and made a reservation in advance. As you know, there are artists at nail salons who are good at what they do and others who aren’t, so since I wanted nail art, I specifically requested an appointment with someone skilled.

Upon arrival, before getting my nails done, I showed them a picture of the design I wanted and explained that if it couldn’t be done, I’d opt for a simple full-color instead. They assured me they could do the design I brought. However, from the start, there were issues – I prefer a transparent base over pink, but without asking, they started with a pink base. When I mentioned wanting a transparent color, they eventually changed it.

For the ombre effect, I showed a photo and confirmed the color, but they put white in the ombre machine without asking, insisting it was what I showed. After showing the photo again, they brought a somewhat similar color. It seemed like they had a limited color range. While doing the ombre, they didn’t clean excess polish properly, and I was concerned as the machine sometimes flickered, potentially staining my clothes or skin.

They claimed the ombre was finished when, in reality, the color wasn’t showing. I asked for more layers, insisting it wasn’t matching the color I brought. Eventually, they reapplied it. Then, for the glitter, they didn’t have what I brought – the one they applied was gaudy, unlike the subtle sparkle I wanted. When I asked if they could remove just the glitter, they said it wasn’t possible, so I opted not to get any nail art.

From that moment, they hurriedly finished. They didn’t clean the excess polish around my nails, insisted it would go away if I washed my hands, and applied cuticle oil excessively, making it feel like I needed to wipe my hands. Normally, salons use a warm towel and apply hand cream after the nails, but here, none of that happened.

When I went to pay at the end, the person who assisted me with the payment had such an awful attitude. I didn’t say anything to provoke them; I was just really dissatisfied, so I decided not to go ahead with the nail art. I don’t understand why they had to help with the payment in such a rude manner. Even when I said “thank you” as I was leaving, that person didn’t say a word, just stared at the card machine.

After a terrible gel manicure from another salon in Irvine, Jennifer really helped getting my nails back on track. She was extremely delicate on the damaged nails not to hurt me any further. She took her time, advised me to give dip manicure a trial and made sure I was happy with the results. She is a doll!
I also got a gel pedicure a few days ago and I am very pleased with the outcome.
Thanks ladies!

Super nice lady who did my nails! Super great quality and super quick. Love going to her 🩷

Not a Divine experience at all. Split nail, UV light hurt, my nails are in so much pain. This was the most painful gel manicure experience of my life! I do not recommend this nail salon unfortunately and I do not normally write bad reviews, but I left this nail salon disappointed and in tears on my way home.
