I have been going to this salon since the opening and I will never go to another for as long as I live in this area! The quality of the nails is always comparable to other salons I've been to, but this salon does such amazing design work and they don't overcharge you to do fun designs! I've paid $60-70 every time for an acrylic full set fill WITH all of my designs, personally at other places they charge me $80-100 for the same thing. Also, Bernice and her staff are always so sweet, I always make appointments for myself but they do accept walk-ins! They have new pedicure and manicure chairs too, which I enjoyed very much this last time It also makes me sad seeing a negative review here complaining mainly about 'language barrier', I have been able to communicate with every person I have come into contact at this salon, they are all very nice and I have never had a bad experience. read more

This is the best nail shop in La Mesa / San Diego! The vibes are great The owners & staff are kind and welcoming. I was given water & Bernice did my nails; normally for fake nails I have been doing gel-x. I asked for a recommendation between gel-x or alternative... she educated me & recommended gel overlay. She was very accommodating to my needs. I came late in the day after work. She took her time and did a wonderful job & is sweet I am so pleased! Then Lisa did a pedicure. I think it was a deluxe pedicure. Very relaxing! She gave a nice massage and treatment and was lovely! I left so happy and am still happy! I love my nails and how I was treated. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AMAZING SHOP! [these pictures are a week in by the way] IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, COME THROUGH TO AB Nails & Spa! You won't be disappointed read more

I've been going to Bernice for years, and I can confidently say she is one of a kind. No matter the design, shape, or request, she always delivers and somehow exceeds expectations every single time. I've genuinely never had a bad experience with her, which says everything. What really sets Bernice apart is not just her talent, but who she is as a person. She's incredibly warm, welcoming, and always has a smile on her face. Every appointment feels less like a service and more like catching up with a friend. She remembers the little things you tell her weeks later, which shows how much she truly cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also makes you feel comfortable, valued, and taken care of, Bernice is it. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails! read more

Ken does such an awesome job on my nails. He is so nice and accommodating! My daughter and I really wanted our nails done before going on vacation but couldn't get there until an hour before closing. We got there around 6:15. Nancy did my pedicure and Ken did our nails. They did NOT rush. They took their time and made sure our nails were done nicely. They literally stayed until 8:30 and provided great customer service. I love going to this nail salon because they are very attentive to detail and they take their time and you can feel relaxed. read more

Berniece and her entire staff are absolutely amazing! From the moment I walk in, they always greet me by name and make me feel completely taken care of. Berniece is truly a perfectionist, every single set of nails she does is flawless and exactly what I want, if not better. She always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy and comfortable. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. I will forever recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier service and stunning nails. Thank you for always making me feel my best! read more

Berniece is hands down the best in the business! She and her team always make me feel like a VIP the moment I walk through the door.

Berniece's work is pure perfection and my nails are always flawless, creative, and exactly how I envision them. She truly cares about her clients and never rushes, always making sure everything is just right. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I've visited many nail salons in the area, often finding them overpriced or lacking in service quality. I discovered AB Nails through social media and decided to give them a try. Ken did my gel manicure, while another technician provided my pedicure. Both experiences were amazing! I opted for the basic pedicure, and the technician took her time, giving me a fabulous massage. Ken also pays great attention to detail. They are nice and professional. Definitely recommend! read more

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and my nails get complimented all the time. I can have a full set on for a whole month before I need a fill, the retention is great. I have been getting my nails done by Bernice for about two years and I cannot praise the quality of her work enough - they always look beautiful and I'm always beyond satisfied. She's also just the sweetest. If you're looking for a new nail salon definitely try this place!! read more

I have been a customer of Nancy Luu for over 10 years now and have followed her from store to store to store. Most recently she worked at Paris Nails and the business changed to AB Nails but whatever the name, Nancy is very consistent. She does beautiful designs on my big toe and the pedicure she gives are just amazing. , She also does a facial wax for all those stubborn little hairs that we older women get. I highly recommend Nancy Luu! read more

The first time I came here was for my daughters 11th birthday. I got an appt for 5 people last minute and they did not disappoint. I come now faithfully every two weeks and get my pedi with Nancy and my full set with Ken. Both are amazing technicians. Nancy will ensure you are comfortable and relaxed and Ken ca do any design I have ever brought to him. I highly recommend stopping by and getting service at AB Nails spa. read more
