About 2EM NAIL PLACE
That little nail place near the Marketplace, 2EM NAIL PLACE, has really become a go-to around here. Word spreads fast in Irvine, and folks seem to keep coming back. What sets them apart is that no matter which technician someone gets, the quality is reliably great. It's not just one superstar; the whole team delivers.
They're known for doing acrylics really well – that's their bread and butter. But people also rave about their Japanese gel. Of course, they do all the standard stuff too, from basic manicures to fancy nail art. If someone’s looking for a reliable place to get their nails done before a work event, 2EM is a solid bet.
With all those consistently positive reviews – nearly 440 and still holding a 4.7 rating – it's obvious they've built up some serious trust. They're open pretty much every day, with slightly shorter hours on the weekends, so fitting in an appointment shouldn't be too tough. It's great to have a neighborhood spot that’s so dependable.

This is by far my favorite nail salon I’ve ever been to that wasn’t recommended by a friend, so let me be your friend and recommend it to you! Scheduling: So easy. You can text, call, or book an appointment online. I had a last minute work thing and had to move my appointment and they were so accommodating. Arrival: Free parking is plentiful. It’s located on the second floor! I didn’t know where to look but if you’re facing the building, go to the right and around the corner and you’ll find stairs and an elevator. Atmosphere: Sparkling clean, big open space which I loved. So many salons feel like a long hallway where you end up craning your head to look at a TV or have your head buried in your phone so you’re not making awkward eye contact with the chair opposite you, but not here! Chairs and stations are nicely spaced in an open floor plan so everyone doesn’t have to crawl over each other. Feels so much more dignified. Also they had some great neutral, upbeat music playing that wasn’t just 80’s pop hits. All the other patrons were super respectful, some chatting away with techs, others just relaxing, no loud business phone calls which can really take you out of your experience. Last but not least, the Service!! : I just asked for first available tech and was lucky enough to have Helen. I have NEVER been so happy with a pedicure. Often salons are rushed but not efficient enough in their work to pull it off. I had to take care of a few emails when I got there so had my headphones in and Helen moved around me being zoned in sooo well. Handed me a menu, no attempts at upselling (YAY), moved my legs where she needed them while keeping me comfortable. When I was done with my work and able to relax, she was such a pleasant conversationalist. I know a lot of salons can be places where we celebrate our own and each other’s beauty, but sometimes unprompted compliments can feel a little fake and I didn’t hear anyone do that there. It was so refreshing!! Helen let her work speak rather than do cheap chat, she made me feel like Helen of Troy I felt so cared for and beautiful afterwards. Payment: There’s an ATM, laminated printouts of each tech’s Zelle/Venmo, the accept cards, cash, Apple Pay, you name it! I walked in and out within an hour with the perfect pedicure, a smile on my face, and feeling as relaxed as one does after a 3 hour nap. 2EM and Helen, you have my loyalty! Edit: adding photo, felt strange to take a photo of my own feet but I’ll do it if it means giving Helen and this salon the amazing review it deserves

Amazing service! They are appt focused so I would say book an appt beforehand. Lucky they let me squeeze in on a weekday and def won a new client. Jade and Tracy did my toes and nails amazing. I love the attention to detail. Thank you ladies!

Very happy with my set from Tien. I’m used to getting one color from other salons but Tien was very open to designs and I was looking for something trendy. Builder gel was applied much thinner and smoother than I have usually gotten. Very worth the trip

This is an amazing nail salon! Candy is the most talented nail tech, she takes her time and is truly a master of her craft. 2em isn’t exactly close to my house anymore, and yes, it’s on the pricier side, but I gladly make the drive and pay extra for their level of service. My old salon used a handwritten appointment book and rarely answered the phone, while 2em actually uses a modern booking system that makes scheduling online super easy. I always feel completely comfortable here; the professionalism is consistent every single time. The salon is spotless, and they carry an incredible variety of colors and products. I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing Candy is...she’s the best! Thank you!

I had an amazing experience at 2EM Nail and cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment I walked in, the environment was positive, welcoming, and professional. The energy here is great, and the service is top-tier. Tiny is my nail tech, and she is truly an artist. She created a custom Gel-X chrome set for me, and it is absolute fire 🔥 The chrome she used was high quality, the nails were perfectly shaped and sharpened, and every detail was executed flawlessly. You can really tell she takes pride in her work and pays attention to precision and artistry. I know I can trust her and 2EM to always have me ready for music videos, productions, auditions, etc. If you are in entertainment and have specific aesthetic requirements to meet for branding purposes this is your place! I genuinely appreciate Tiny’s talent and creativity—she exceeded my expectations and will take her time t6o make sure it is high standard. If you’re looking for a place to get a custom chrome Gel-X set, this is the place. Do not hesitate—book your appointment ASAP. You will not be disappointed! 💅✨
