Super happy I found this salon. I had been going to the same nail tech for many many years and had…read moreasked her about doing gel x nails and she kept saying no not at this time and that kept happening. I wanted to get away from acrylic as I had been doing them for over 30 years. So I recently had to go in for surgery and knew recovery was going to be over a month so I took off my nails and that would be the perfect time to move on... So fast forward to today (6 weeks post surgery) finally ready to get a new set so I went to Yelp to find a new place that had high star reviews within 25 min of my house and found this place. So called and made a same day appointment and was set with Ivan. I'm so happy Ivan took the time to listen to what I wanted and knowing this was my first gel x set he talked about the process and we were ready to go. Then he checked in several times to make sure I was happy with the length and shape which I totally am. So needless to say Ivan's my new nail tech!!! So glad. Also brought my daughter who got a gel manicure from Amy and she was super happy with her service as well!! You won't be disappointed.

I love this nail salon! I live very close to another similar type of nail place, but I will…read morecontinue to go here instead because of their superior customer service and skills. They do a meticulous job no matter which technician ends up doing my nails. I usually just get a regular spa pedi/mani (they also do gel and special powders, plus acrylics) and I am always happy with the results for the price. The place is clean and they take walk-ins, but I have had to come back another day with an appointment since they were booked one time when I walked in. I have always been greeted right away with a friendly attitude, and they give you a small bottle of water when you sit down for your service. I came in without an appointment a week after getting a pedicure there, because I stepped on something at home which caused my toenail polish to chip, and they welcomed me into a chair right away and touched up that toe and a few others that needed it free of charge. I will always come back to Forever Nails!

I have been coming here since December of 2025 as I was anticipating for an engagement. The one…read moretime I did not come here, another nail salon didn't do a good job so I have committed myself here. The owners Emily and Dustin treat everyone like VIP. I also recently hosted an event here and had wine and champagne while everyone got pampered. I finally got engaged and the nails had lasted 4 weeks at that point. I'm on my sixth week and it is still so good! 10/10 recommend.

I have been here before and I have had a real nice pedicure, but I haven't been here for about…read morethree months. I am embarrassed to say I came in as a walk-in, no appointment at 4:30 after work. the owner greeted me kindly and helped me put my name on the list, He offered me water and candy and told me it wouldn't be long. Another lady Emily greeted me with a smile and she said she had been my technician when I had been here last time . she actually worked it out so she was my technician again. She was friendly and professional. I had a wonderful pedicure. My toes are perfect. towards the end of my service it got busy. Emily asked if one of the other people could do the foot and leg massage. I said sure and the owner who greeted me actually came over to finish my service . He was very pleasant and gentle. He always ask me about the pressure on my feet to make sure that I was comfortable with my foot rub and he was chatty. We had a great time. I found out he and his wife have just recently bought the salon. They are very eager to become a popular small business in Vista. I feel I not only got value for my money, but I feel they welcomed me and appreciated my business. I will definitely be back.

My toes look perfectly fine, I was only looking to get my money back for my manicure because there is an imprint on my thumb from the paint not drying correctly, you can see the layers from the gel color peeling in every single finger, and a chip in the nail. I have never been so disappointed as I always come to this salon and they do an amazing job. I thought they would be more understanding about my situation but the lady who I talked to at the front didn't even want to look at my nails at first, she just said "that's it. A regular manicure lasts days." Which is honestly such a horrible response because my toes look nowhere near as horrible as my manicure and they are both regular which I am expecting to last at least 7 days as I take good after care to maintain them. Will not be coming here again.

Probably one of the worst acrylic manicures I've ever had. First time at this place and I left the…read moresalon with dried acrylic residue all over my fingers and spent the rest of the day picking it off. I also told the manicurist (older woman, didn't get her name) that my nails are thin, but they continued using the drill on a high speed, which burned me several times. The nail shape was uneven, and the top coat flooded into my cuticles, making the application look messy. I'm honestly concerned about developing contact dermatitis because of how much product was left on my skin. I was really disappointed with the quality of the service and frustrated that I had to pay for it.
