This was my second time at this salon in the last month (January 2026). I picked it because of the area and it's a non-toxic salon! I get a basic gel polish manicure on my real nails and regular polish on my toes. My polish still looked great after 3 weeks, no chipping or peeling, and I am hard on my nails! I only went back so soon because my nails had grown a lot. The same staff was there both times. Vivian and Mia did a great job on my nails both times. I have apprehension going to any nail salons because of past drill overuse completely obliterating my nails and cuticle injuries/pain from multiple other salons. I just asked them up front to please be careful not to sand too much. They are very gentle and detail oriented. I don't mind quiet appointments, but I talked to them the first time and they were friendly. The second time I stayed mostly quiet and I didn't mind them quietly chatting with each other. Both times I felt well taken care of. There was another client or two there each time. I was glad it wasn't packed. It cost $85 total (before tip) to take off the old polish & get the new polish. I prefer no manual massage (I do use the massage chair). To me, it's a fair price and worth it for the relaxing and less crowded atmosphere, easy parking and being accommodated with my special request. They also offer a complimentary drink such as a mimosa, champagne, etc. I kind of want to gatekeep, but this salon deserves our business -I recommend! read more

We have been coming here time to time, aware of the expense but it's been convenient bc of how close it is, having a one year old, etc. they also added "lower" prices to be able to have basically a polish change mani and pedi. Don't get me wrong still expensive but they've mostly done a good job and it's been easy for me after becoming a mom of two. Anyway, recently my older daughter and I went there (we don't go often bc of the prices it's usually a treat) and my gel mani started peeling off within 3 days. I called and let the main guy there know and he said come on in and they'll fix it no problem. I explained I can't come back in due to busy schedules and we agreed that he'd make a note on my file and next time I came in it would be no charge for the mani. So I ended up going back in a couple months later and at checkout let them know I had a free mani on my books. The guy said no you have to come back within two weeks and he looked and said I hadn't been in a couple of months. I explained I know and that we talked about this and he said it was ok, etc. well he got incredibly heated and was basically denying the free service. He was adamant that I'd need to come in in the two weeks in order for it to be valid an become surprisingly escalated about this. I told him we already talked about this, I'm a busy mom and that he agreed about to this plan. He started yelling at me so much that his lips were shaking!!! I told him that I wasn't going to pay for it bc that's not what the deal was and he's more than welcome to take the polish off then if he isn't going to honor the deal. It wouldn't have been an issue if the last polish didn't come off in a few days anyway! Anyway, this review is long overdue... he got so angry I was pretty shook and crying leaving there... i was newly pregnant with our third just doing a little self care and taking some time to myself. At this point, we've given them enough chances... they've officially lost us as customers and I highly do NOT recommend going here. read more

I don't not recommend this place they over charge and never have set prices its crazy how they over charge for kids

Haven't been here in a years, so was a bit shocked at the price for a pedicure. After sitting down, I looked around and was impressed on how much more professional it was. Then I had the best pedicure of my life. The gel wasn't more expensive and the massage was intentional for reflexology. So glad I didn't let the cost scare me away! read more

This place is terrible. I did my shellac and 3 days later is cracked on the top. I hope they give me the money back. Soo bad. read more

Alpine Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Alpine, California

Do not recommend...customer service not good, nail care not good, prices not good, overall not a pleasant experience

Prices are outrageous! Told me it was going to be $75.00 for French gel fills...most expensive than any where!!!

Front desk young lady was extremely kind and professional. However my 100$+ pedicure was very underwhelming. Nail polish all over my skin and nails not painted evenly. I will not be back. Waaaaaaay better quality in San Diego for less money. read more

The new pricing is outrageous and the service is not really any different. The pedicure service is suppose to include some eye mask and shoulder patches. They give them to you in little bags but fail to do anything with them during the service. A regular mani - straight mail clean up and polish $50. Craziness!!! Nothing too hot pedi $70...I have no word With these new prices they just lost another customer. read more

I thought i would give this place a try. Didn't realize how much it would be for a pedicure. As soon as I walked in the young lady told me that it had new ownership. I asked her how much for a pedicure, she said $59.00. Needless to say, I didn't get the service I immediately turned around and walked out. $59.00 for a pedicure!!! That's outrangous! read more

Great experience from day one....Tina, front desk receptionist, always greets me with a pleasant smile and hello, and Vivian, does my mani and pedicure, the best ever, including a full leg/foot massage which makes my day! Worth every penny believe me...the staff Very professional and pleasant, they are always ready for me when I walk in and basically make the experience the best ever. read more

Mia does my pedicure every time & does a great job. My nails always look nice, she takes her time & cares about what she does. The experience is well worth the $$. Nothing is rushed, including the very relaxing massage. I usually come in on a Sunday after a week of workouts, hiking & walking. Such a treat, thank you, Mia! Appointments are easy to book, you get a heating eye mask & a beverage. I can't recommend this spot enough. read more

I have been going there for many years now. Arrived for my appt this morning to find prices have gone up substantially! A regular pedicure has gone up about 50%! Acrylic FILLS are now $65! Looking for a new place even though I live in Alpine. I think they may have just priced themselves out of business! , read more

Pleasant from start to finish! Very friendly. Literally the best gel French manicure I have ever received. My husband was also thoroughly happy with his pedicure. We will definitely be back! read more

Took my daughters to get their nail done and it took close to 3 hours to do a full set. They had bubbles in the nail and not to mention it was $75. Will not be returning back. Do not recommend. read more

I've been going here over 4 years and walked in this morning to find out they are under new management and the price for a "regular" pedi $59 dollars! For a regular pedi?! Crazy prices. No wonder the place was empty with only one person. Very say and outrageous pricing. read more

Fantastic! Clean, professional and an excellent way to relax. I'm here now on Valentine's Day and couldn't be happier with my service.

I am so sad for the best nail lady ever. But 124. Is to expensive. I have been a customer for over 6 yr but not no more. read more

Alpine Nail Spa - Receipt from this salon. - Nail Salons Near Me - Alpine, California

Their prices recently went up astronomically. They are under new ownership now and the LOWEST price for pedicures are now $65.00, with full sets STARTING at $75.00. So even if youre going with super short nails like I did, $75.00 is what youre looking at , which at other salons is usually reserved for the longest nails. They say its because they are using a new "eco-friendly" gel, however, the gel didn't set all the way for me when I put them under the lamp and not even an hour after leaving one of my nails cracked. On top of the fact that the pricing doesn't Justify the quality, it takes them so long to do nails if you are doing nails and toes because they only have one person doing each at a time. Most salons I go to have someone doing your toes while another works on your hands so everyone gets done faster. Anyways, I'll be taking the extra 10 mins into lakeside or El Cajon to do my nails there, I really hope other salons dont start taking on prices like this or im going to just start wearing press-ons. read more

I have been going to this nail salon since they opened. I even took my Mom every other week. Yesterday when I went to get a pedicure/manicure, there was a lot going on. New people, new computer. They were friendly and welcomed me. A lot of people were waiting and someone asked if there were new owners. So there are new owners. One other lady asked about the prices and WOW, was I surprised. 2 werks ago is was $49.00 for both a pedi/mani and the new prices are $49.00 for a mani and $59.00 for a pedi. $108.00 for both. I just told them no thanks and left. I can see prices going up. But, that is a little ridiculous. They have lost a client. read more

What a horrible experience I had at this place yesterday. I made an appointment for a fill and gel pedicure. I walked in, and was asked to sit down at chair no. 4. A gentleman came over and began to do my nails. I asked him immediately if I could sit at the spa chair and soak my feet while we were waiting for someone to finish and start on my toes. He said no. 25 minutes later I asked him again and told him that I wanted to soak my feet and he ignored me. It took him 2 hours to do my fill. At that point, my back was hurting from sitting on that uncomfortable chair. I paid and left. I did not get my pedicure done as I did not have another 2 free hours. My point is that he wanted the money for himself and therefore he did not want for me to have anyone else do my toes. I will never return to this place. And now I have to go and get my toes done. Very sad. read more

Even when you request a specific Nail Artist and make an Appointment, they give you anyone who is available at the time. It's a 50/50 chance on being fully satisfied. There seems to be a major language barrier and they rarely seem to get your information correct. I was lucky today, I guess. I just prefer being confident that they will act in a more Professional Manner from now on. Wishful Thinking, perhaps. read more

Not impress with my nails.. (I could have done better). The requested heart didn't happen ...failed attempts.. The European spa pedicure was okay, But it's not much of a difference from the basic.. they put the wax then removed it quickly and same with the scrub. I am going to have to repaint my toes. 80.00 later!!! read more

I noticed this nail salon hasn't had any current reviews so I decided to leave one for this sweet establishment. I've been staying at Viejas just down the road for a little staycation and needed a mani pedi badly. I stopped by this salon and Heidi was my technician. I had her take off my overgrown dirty dipped nails and also do a pedicure for me as well, she was amazing! Here they take their time to pamper their clients and make sure you're getting the service you need with attention to detail. I prompted for an added 10 minute foot massage because I badly needed one and Hiedi was amazing with a firm massage that was much needed for my overworked calves! I loved it and it's rare to find a technician with strong hands . I enjoyed the massage chair and with how exhausted I've been with work I found myself in relaxation dozing in and out of sleep . I noticed how the walls seemed like there was new paint done, Heidi told me that the shop had recently been remodeled, so the shop has a new feel and is nice and clean! I loved how relaxed the space was and didn't feel rushed in my services. I'm sure to come by again for my next staycation at Viejas. read more

Don't go here. Rude employees, non consent recording and picture taking for their "social media". Uncomfortable environment, they make you choose and pick your services when you walk up to reception, making you feel rushed. Alot of places ive been to seat you down and give you the book and let you choose. Overpriced place for rude service. Also feel like they judge you when you walk in, one of the employees kept staring at me for unknown reasons. Felt very uncomfortable here through out my entire visit. read more

***UPDATE*** She had to visit the Doctor office to drain the infection & perscribe her antibiotics! A SUPER PAINFUL PROCESS. You can try natural remedies suggested online at the first sign of redness but once any puss ridden infection occurs you need to see the Dr. Immediately at the Emergency room if Urgent Care is closed on a Sunday because it will keep spreading worse at that point. [I will not share the updated photo for privacy reasons & so you don't loose your foodie appetite!] read more

$40 for a polish change lol! Stop. I went in after they changed ownership which I did not realize an out-of-town owner bought it. I ended up paying $80 for a service that was normally about $45. I I just called to get pricing for polish change. No manicure, nothing sometimes I'll just take the girls in 7 and 10 for polish. $40 a piece. I clarified what I was asking for because I was certain that she was charging me for a regular manicure.- she clarified if I wanted to come in and polish, it would be $40. I feel bad for the workers but sometimes people deserve to go out of business. read more

I sto coming here for over 2 years because the customer service was RUDE. Decided to try the new owners and enjoy a stress free pedicure. I told the gal my cuticles are very sensitive please be careful. Apparently she doesn't understand English. She made me bleed from cutting me. After that the experience only got worse! I will not return!! read more

For quite a few years, I have been going to this nail salon. They just went under new ownership and the price of a regular pedicure has gone up $21 non-negotiable. I feel terrible because the girl who has been doing my manicure and pedicure I will no longer be able to afford to go to. I think this is ridiculous and outrageous and they should offer just a basic pedicure with not all the bells and whistles if you choose not to do it. I want everyone to know in case you go to make an appointment and realize that it's gonna cost you a lot more money. read more

Went in to get a pedicure. Didn't know it was a new owner! The prices were outrageous! It's more than you would pay in a nice salon! As soon as I saw the prices, I ask what happened to the basic pedicure. The receptionist said that was it! $70 for a basic pedicure? Nope! I drove down to Lakeside and got a basic pedicure for $30.00 and it was nice and just as good as what I used to get in Alpine! Sad thing is, I live within walking distance of the one on Alpine! But not paying those prices! New owner, you doubled your prices!!!!!! read more

So I had an appointment and they called me and said the girls running about half an hour to 45 minutes late. Can I come another time that day my schedule is pretty full so I tried to schedule it at the end of the day when I got there, they said that they had to reschedule me because their new procedures would take two hours to put my nails on, I already had nails that just needed to be filled, but they did not do that procedure anymore so they had to take off my old nails and put a gel on there. That is not what I wanted I will never ever go back there again ever since there's a new owner their prices are ridiculous. Their way of running business is their schedule not mine. read more

Went today for a gel manicure. Ann was the young lady did my nails. I get the same service each time and they always scrub my feet, which I can't stand because I'm so ticklish! When I went to pay I asked Ann if the gel pedicure no longer comes with a foot scrubbing. She said yes. When I asked why she didn't do mine she said she did. I told her no, because I'm horribly ticklish and I would have remembered. She argued her point. Sadly I probably won't be back. read more

I've been here a few times now and every time I have had quality work done. They have a lot of options for manicures and pedicures as well as other services. The staff isn't necessarily talkative but they are friendly and professional- not to mention meticulous! I will continue to give them my business. read more

Lacking in customer service, no smile, didn't introduce themselves. The service and price is okay.

Got a mani and pedi last night. Usually just get toes done but I was in the need to treat myself. Leslie did an amazing job. She was very attentive and listened to my requests. I also appreciate the fact that it was close to closing time and she still took her time filling and perfecting the shape. No one likes to feel rushed! I will definitely request her again in the future. read more

Don't waste your time or money so painful and nails will not look good just make the drive down the hill

I went for a gel pedicure and all the manicurist did was a polish change...I was a bit confused but when she charged me for a full spa pedicure I said what happened to the scrub, massage, callus remover.....she said "Oops, I forgot". Seems a little strange to "forget" half if the service. I told her I wasn't paying for the whole service, she didn't know how to undue the charge to my card....terrible place, terrible experience read more

I'm so impressed with my nails!! My nail technician was Vivian, and I highly recommend her, if you would like detailed and perfect nails Tina gives a fantastic pedicure!! read more

They were so awesome. Made me feel right at home and very comfortable. My mom and I definitely chose the right place for a spa day!

Went in for a pedicure with friend. Loved the lady that did mine. Was a great experience. So much attention to detail. Amazing calf massage made very sure everything was great.. Unfortunately the girl that was working with my friend wasn't as good. She really didn't seem to want to be there. She actually cracked the skin on my friend's toe to the point she had blood on the toe separator read more
