This is literally my new go to place for nails. Ive been getting my nails done for years all over the country (most recently coming from Florida) and this is genuinely the best place Ive ever gone to. Its cozy, beautiful, and the customer service is so top notch. The owner greets everyone by first name and his wife Kathy is the sweetest woman ever. I cant wait to go back for my pedicure, they are so safe and have such a wide variety of services. I was watching people coming and going and praising the relaxation they felt. The complimentary wine (or champagne if you prefer) is genuinely the perfect touch on top of this already amazing customer service experience. Im not even exaggerating when I say that no matter where I move in California, I will ALWAYS make the drive to this place for as long as I possibly can. Definitely go - you will not regret it.

This is the best nail salon i have been to in my life. The owners and nail technicians are so accommodating and kind. They make you feel right at home. From the moment you walk in they greet you with smiling faces and hand you complimentary beverages of your choice like mimosas, wine, water, etc. They truly care about making your experience comfortable and relaxing. The best part is that they actually listen to what you want your nails to look like and they exceed your expectations. I have already been here twice in the past month and will definitely be a regular customer!

The services offered at Solara are, by far, the best I have ever experienced in the US. I recently moved here to SoCal and it’s been a long time since my last service appointment. I couldn’t have picked a better place.The salon services are plentiful ranging from standard manicure and pedicure services to super unique full hour pedicures with lengthy massage, paraffin, and even a CBD infused service.The technicians are amazing, in particular Monique was thorough, explained every step of my service and really did an amazing job and paid special attention to my very “rough” feet that needed care after being sheltered in place for 6 months.I found my spot in Seal Beach and I’d highly suggest everyone make an appointment at Solara Nail Bar today!

I am absolutely blown away by how stunning my nails look! Nick (the owner) was incredibly kind to both me AND my husband (even offering him a mimosa!) The attention to detail during each step of the manicure was stunning. If you go, ask for John/Jon he does a PHENOMENAL job! I genuinely can’t wait to come back!

This is hands down the best nail salon I have ever been to! Even if they sucked at doing nails (which they don’t) I would go there just for the exceptional customer service! Nick, the owner, was sweet, friendly, informative, and helpful! I had to wait a little while, but the free mimosas were worth it! This is my new nail place for sure!!

I liked the place a lot very polite, English speaking. But in a week my nails have chipped and I had to have them redone. Im not sure if that was a product of me packing up my apartment, the OPI nail polish, or the quality of the job. On the high end of price. Try it it is certainly worth it

It was a very relaxing and unique spa pedicure experience with flower petals and essential oils. And I didnt have an appointment and they kindly stayed open late to take me. I did not feel rushed. The pedicure was awesome and the nail polish lasted over a month, even after going to the beach and the pool. I would definitely go back! I have recommended it to friends and family. One of the best nail salons in Seal Beach hands down.

Well-manicured hands down, this is the BEST nail salon I have ever known. It is an experience of decadence and luxury having your manicure and pedicure here. It is definitely not your average shop; you definitely get what you pay for here. It is truly a boutique nail salon.PROS:-Impeccably clean-Nail instruments are really sterilized not just made to look like they were (I’m a surgical nurse, I can tell)-Meticulous and friendly nail technicians-You don’t have to wonder if they’re talking about you because they’re speaking English (I’m Asian, I know the stereotype)-High quality polishes, gels, acrylics and dips-Complimentary drinks during your treatment-Customizable manicures and pedicures-Location is blocks from the beach-Easy parkingCONS:-NoneTIPS:-Call ahead to make an appointment-Meet Nick and Kathy (the owners), they’re really great people

We found Solara nail bar to be a life saver thanks to Nick. He saved the day on my daughters 16th birthday by fitting us in when another salon let us down. Cole was so amazing and the job she did was out this world. She treated my daughter so well and made her feel so welcome as did the whole staff. The fact that communication was no problem was a big plus and so was how clean the salon was. We will be back for sure.

Finally! A nail salon that uses an autoclave for sterilization, just as hospitals use for surgical instruments. Sanitation and quality services are the rule here. I have found my new home for nail services!

Im not impressed. I asked for square to round nails and every fingernail is a different shape and not shaped to what I requested. And then got a pedicure and never in my lifetime have had someone pull on the corners of my toenail i.e. how you get ingrown toenails. Now hoping and praying I dont get ingrown toenails ..

I was on vacation from Calgary Canada and looking for a nice nail salon to get a pedicure and acrylic nails for myself and my mother. We drove by and saw Solara nails, a nice looking shop, so I decided to check reviews on them.They looked very promising so I gave them a call to check for availability. I had a very nice conversation with the owner who got us an appointment the next afternoon and thanked me for my call. We arrived 30 min early and were happy when they were able to start our appointment early.The decor and ambiance is classy and upscale without being too fancy. All the employees were welcoming, friendly and got along with one another. They are very well organized, starting our manicures during the pedicures. The conversation between staff and clients is easy going and comfortable. The girls gave us a ton of recommendations for things to do in the area which was an added bonus.I am an avid false nail enthusiast and knew I wanted acrylic nails, but my mother, who was unsure if she would even want them, was recommended to try the nail dip technique. She was very happy with this suggestion and said they looked and felt so natural, like they were her own nails. My set are the nicest acrylic nails I have ever had and they easily accomadated my requests for ombre nail art and marbling.The atmosphere was great, the technical skills of the artist were impeccable but what put our positive experience over the top was how friendly and enjoyable the staff was. Both my mom and I wish we could come back for our fills. Too bad we live across the continent.Thanks for a great experience Solara!
