Orchid’s Nail Salon

great service! salon staff is one big happy family!

The salon itself is old and run down. Does not seem very sanitary. Do not see anything to sterilize tools out front. The nail file and heel scrubber seems like it has been used one too many times. I got a gel manicure which was ok. No hand massage really, they just apply lotion. Pedicure took almost 1hr and 15 min, it was painti and nails kept digging into my skin the whole time. Nail polish was not very neatly applied. Lastly, the massage chair sucks. I don’t know how this place has such high ratings. Will not be returning.

UPDATE: The owner of this salon Rose is awesome. After my last review she contacted me about the issue apologized for the inconvenience, and even offered to do my next full set personally at no charge to me. This was very professional and I can tell she was genuinely concerned about resolving the problem. She really takes pride in her business and cares about her customers which you don’t see at many nail salons. Anyways I took her up on her offer I went in yesterday 4÷1÷16 I got a pedi, full set w/​gel polish (wide variety of gel and reg polish colors) and eye brow/​lip waxing, all of my services turned out great I have no complaints I will defiantly be back.

The environment was lovely and the employees were very sweet and talkative, they had lifetime movies playing so customers could watch. I give it 3 stars for the actually service. I had an older lady do my fill, first off she put powder acrylic on top of my gel (I wasn’t aware there was a difference since this was my first fill). While it was nice she took her time and helped me pick a color my nails have a few bumps in them and the technician did not start close to my cuticles. I would try this place again just with a different technician, the owner seemed super fast and her regulars loved her. If you’re going here, ask for her!

Seriously. I LOVE Orchid Nails. This is the only place worth going to get your nails done in Bear. The ladies there are so kind, so genuine, so fun, and it’s just obvious they care about their clients. Customers come in and the ladies at Orchid know them by name. They chat like they’re old friends. I have never seen that at any nail salon, ever. It’s usually a lot of awkward silences and chatter in their native tongue. But 90% of the conversations in Orchid are nail technician to client.
That would be enough in itself, but these ladies do really quality manicures. They take so much time even on just a basic manicure that you feel like you’re really being pampered.
I was actually so impressed with them after my first time in the salon that I went and got my nails done here 2 days before my wedding. I was having trouble finding exactly what I wanted, and one of the ladies (not my technician) really helped me AND the lady doing my nails did such an amazing job. I honestly don’t think I would have trusted my wedding nails with anyone else.
Please go here. Do yourself a favor.

I was searching high and low for nail salon. I was nail salon hopping until I found a place I could go to regularly… and I believe I found it! The owner Rose did my nails and they look so natural and beautiful. They are SUPER friendly and they know all of their customers… that says a lot! I will definitely be going back for all of my nail needs! I’m glad my search is finally over!

Orchid nails is honestly the best nail salon in the area! The ladies are so kind and genuine, timely and very skilled at doing nails! I can’t believe I’ve driven past this place so many times before and never gave them a try! I will not need to try any other nail salon as long as we live here! The owner Rose did my gel manicure and it’s absolutely fabulous! As another Unilocaler stated she helped me pick a color combo that worked well with my complexion and style! Do give them a chance! The salon itself is delightfully well kept, clean and comfortable! We surprised my cousin with pampering for her birthday and the limo came after they were closed to pick us up, but they kindly stayed in the salon while we waited to help us keep her surprised! They rejoiced and celebrated her birthday with us, and they felt like family! I so appreciate your help and accommodating us for this special day! If you try this place, You will not be disappointed! A+++

I love this Salon! The only con is not enough bright colors to choose from and you will have to make an appointment they stay busy. Prices are high but worth every penny.

Very attentive and detail-​oriented. I would say it was well worth the price and will definitely go back! There’s a lack of color selection but you can always bring your own.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve been looking for a solid nail place for a while and this is my new go-​to spot! I’ve been here twice and have left with the biggest smile because my nails always look flawless. Saved my nails after acrylic. Tell everyone you know!
1. Extremely friendly, bilingual and knowledgable bunch
2. Very detail oriented
3. Know the best colors for your skin tone
4. Makes sure the work is perfect every time
5. Reasonably priced
I’d suggest making an appointment for gel because they are so good at what they do, they book quickly.

Went for the 1^st time to day! They are very welcoming and awesome… this will be my new salon… they do a great job and really take their time… I would recommend this place to anyone

What a hidden gem. The women were courteous and professional. Trang was super thorough and did a lovely job on my nails. Definitely going back.

I had a very pleasant experience at the salon. The place is clean and the staff very friendly. The person who did my nails (I didn’t get her first name :() was very nice, attentive and did a wonderful job on shaping my nails and removing cuticles. I’m very happy I stumbled upon this place.

I’ll never go back to this salon. I started going here years ago & at first I loved it but it’s changed over time. Back in October I went to get my nails done for a wedding I was in, French pedicure and French full set. They raised their prices, when I was told how much it cost I was in shock. $ 90. Just insane. Went again, walked inside and wasn’t even acknowledged. One of the workers even looked right at me and just walked away, no hello, no I’ll be right with you. Nothing. The place wasn’t even busy. So I just stood there and minutes later someone finally asked me if I needed help. I finally just ended up walking out. I’ll never go back. Not to mention one of the workers was doing some type of painting, arts and crafts on the floor while I was waiting. Is that what you’re there for? To paint a banner, or to help customers? The girls used to be personal but I’ve noticed over time that if you aren’t a regular or one of their favorites, you get treated like a nobody. Shouldn’t all customers be treated the same way? Over the last few years, anytime I was there, there was only maybe one or two other customers that were there as well, obviously not getting much business for a reason. Bad customer services and over pricing.

Please ignore the previous review. I have come to know and love every single beautiful lady here.
I am sad to have moved to San Diego and can no longer get my fantastic gel manicures done here. I encourage ANYONE who sees Orchid pop up in their search to go in for one of their many services. These are fun ladies to be around and I have been a repeat customer for almost a year!

I normally don’t go to this nail salon, but I thought I would give it a try since it was closer to my house then the one I normally go to. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure (french), and my total was $ 64. I was a little surprised at the total, apparently the pedicures are $ 28 and the gel manicure was $ 31 + $ 5 for the french tip. I get the cost for the gel manicure, that sounds about normal and she did a good job. I wasn’t really impressed with the pedicure for the cost. She didn’t trim my nails nor did she file them down, just shaped them… who wants long toe nails!!! Also, this salon doesn’t do the scrapey thing, you know like the cheese grater thing… which I think is the part that really gets the job done. I just don’t feel like overall $ 28 for a pedicure was worth it here. The décor is so-​so, and there aren’t any extra’s to make it feel high-​end either (I know it’s in a strip mall, but some salons do paint and accessorize the salon for that lux feel). I will say that the women working there were very friendly, and the clientele there is just as nice. I did not like that they kept pressuring me to «like» them on Facebook while I was getting my pedicure, they really could have saved that for when I was checking out. Additionally, they were taking pictures for their Facebook and would not accept my request to NOT have my picture taken, and then they proceeded to place it on their page. I thought it was rude and disrespectful. The bottom line is that I would not return here. There was nothing «special» about this salon for them to justify a $ 28 pedicure, and while the staff was very pleasant, I really could have gone without them shoving their social media down my throat while I’m trying to get a relaxing service done.
