My mom, aunt and I stumbled in on a whim and had the best time! The staff were so nice and welcoming right away and the little extras like the snacks and drinks just made it that much better. I got the Blossom package with the organic sea salt scrub, detoxifying mask and antioxidant lotion massage and my feet are SO soft!! Annie was amazing. She could tell I wasn't feeling my color choice and picked something out that was way more flattering for my skin tone. Her massage and callus removal were seriously so good, I could've fallen asleep if I wasn't watching the World Cup! Tina and her team really care about the experience here and it shows. We will 100% be back! read more

Amazing service always ! My nails are always so beautifully done ! Inside the nail salon, it's always clean and full of snacks you can munch on while getting your nails done ! Definitely recommend!:) read more

I came in the other day for a pedicure with my sister and niece, and honestly... my pedicure was over before theirs even really got started. My feet were barely soaking for maybe three minutes, and the water was almost overflowing because my tech wasn't paying attention. There was no cuticle work done, and the callus removal felt more like a quick cameo than an actual service. For the price, I definitely left feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. The staff was kind and the salon itself is super clean, which I appreciate, but I really miss the old management and the level of service they provided. It's such a bummer because this place is so close to home and used to be my go-to, but sadly I won't be coming back. read more

The worst experience ever! Poor shape!!Uneven color and !!they cut my nails so deeply that it bled. I had an important event that day, and this completely ruined my mood. Plus, my feet hurt terribly afterward. I'll never go back to this place for nail service again. Is this really worth $70? read more

Brought my sister in for belated birthday pedicures and Blinails came through as always. I messaged in the morning and got a quick response to come in that same hour. Quick, friendly, and just what we were looking for on our Saturday morning. Love this local San Marcos gem so much! read more

I just moved here from NorCal so this is the first nail salon I tried based on Yelp reviews. Did not have a good experience. I got a gel pedicure which has never taken less than an hour to complete, however the lady doing my nails (didn't get her name because I couldn't understand anything she was telling me), seemed like she was trying to set a record for least amount of time to finish, so she was done in 30 minutes. Everything was rough and rushed. I was so scared she was going to cut my skin to the point of bleeding. She didn't, but she cut enough to make it sting when she applied alcohol and that's because she didn't let my feet soak AT ALL before she started chopping away at my cuticles. Then she told me she was going to set a 5 minute timer for my massage, which I had never seen before so I was confused and I couldn't understand what she was saying anyway. The owner had to tell me. The massage was so rough, I could tell I would have bruises if I didn't tell her to tone it down. After she was done, the toenails were visibly uneven because she barely filed them at all. I decided to go home and finish filing myself because I had seen enough. read more

Always a great experience here! Kim is amazing and so talented!!! Staff is always so professional, sweet, and accommodating. As someone who types a lot for work, it's hard to have long nails, and there was no pressure from Kim to make them longer than I felt comfortable. She also remembered my preferred nail length! Kim helped me with picking out a design, since I was so indecisive today. read more

New ownership is great! The staff is friendly and sweet and I recommend Annie! The prices are good and I can get in easily with no appt :)))

First time coming, they were quick to respond & were able to get me in same day! Great service!

I booked an appointment for a same day pedicure on Mother's Day and was very grateful to be accommodated. Unfortunately, this was one of the most half a** pedicures I've ever received. I selected the most basic classic pedicure which was fine with the exception of callus removal. I walk around barefoot a lot so my big toes needed some help and my technician didn't even address that area. I didn't speak up because I felt I shouldn't have to and simply decided I wouldn't come back here again. read more

I requested a checkerboard design and my artist ensured that it was perfect! Great ambience and solid job. read more

Literally paid $35 for someone to ONLY remove my nail polish and paint them again half assed. Water was ice cold, towel was scorching. Been here a handful of times and this was the last time I will go. Sad, because it's so close to work. I guess I should have known when I saw the "under new management" sign. The snacks and beverages will never make up for subpar service read more

Love the quality , the vibe and the services they provided love the new owners so sweet , talented and passionate about their customers

I am on the hunt for a new nail place and found Blinails on here and they had a lot of great reviews. They were extremely responsive. Got an appt same day 90 min later. WIN WIN! Kim and Mindy did my nails and were very sweet. They did a nice job. I upgraded my pedi and it was worth it. I wish it was a tad more spa like in there. I was set next to a closet that was opened so my view was of the waterheater an a man sitting in the closet. Also during my pedi one of the workers used my pedi tube to fill up a mop bucket. I know these are small things but it changed the vibe a bit. UPDATED -Thank you for the feedback Tracy. I had planned to try again and I will. =) read more

I got a Gel-X manicure and pedicure here. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't great. My natural nails were filed so aggressively that it was painful, and one of the Gel-X nails was applied crooked. One nail popped off within two days, and another came off just a few days later. For what I paid (around $150), I expected the nails to last much longer. I was really disappointed with the quality and durability. read more

Horrible products didn't last two weeks and started chipping of on the sides. Prices are confusing and adds on are out of control. They charged me for buildup gel even though I didn't ask for it! Total price was $50 for something like this and didn't even last two weeks. Pedicure was VERY VERY BAD as well! No massage and didn't remove callus. Absolute worst salon I've ever been to! read more

Had a really nice first experience here! My husband bought me a gift card for Mother's Day. I'm leaving the country in a couple days for a wedding and they were able to get me a same day apt for a gel pedi & gel X mani. It was pretty busy when I went in but they still made sure I wasn't waiting too long at all. Kim did my nails, I showed her an inspo picture that matched the dress I'm wearing and she knocked it out of the park! They're beautiful and she took her time on the design. The pedi was good too. Thank you again! read more

I called Blinials for a nail acrylic removal and they told me I can come in as soon as I can. Tina was very welcoming and helped me with this service. I then proceeded to get a manicure and pedicure with callus removal with another nail lady. During the callus removal, a nail lady was filing my feel but ended doing the back of my feet causing a hot spot. The lady did not notice until I pointed it out. Additionally the nail polish on my feet was not good. You can see how uneven the polish was. The experience was great at first but the quality of work was not good. read more

Just got a gel manicure with Jade and I'm obsessed! She was so meticulous with the prep and the application is flawlessly smooth. My nails look incredible and feel super strong.

I love love love this salon. I get full sets from Chau and they are always gorgeous and perfect! Anything you want or request she absolutely kills it. Any intricate design or nail art she does amazing. On top of her being a nail Queen, she is so sweet and made me feel very comfortable. Do yourself a favor and go get your nails done by Chau, you won't regret it! read more

This place is 1 minute from my house and what a shame! Their 5 star reviews are a lie. The receptionist is very pleasant. After that it's all downhill. My gel manicure chipped the next morning. They applied the wrong colors from what I selected. The guy didn't scrub my heels and massage even though part of the service. When I got to the front desk to pay, the pleasant receptionist put on her other face and slapped me with $100+ bill. Said "I'm actually doing you a favor". What now? Not sure what the duck I just experienced. Avoid at any cost. Unlike me. read more

Bloody hell! That was the roughest most brutal manicure I have ever experienced. I left bleeding with the skin around my nails filed off. The young man that did the manicure was so rough. It was like he was taking out a decade of aggression on a nail file and my fingers. I had to stop him multiple times to let him know he was hurting me. During the massage, he was pinching my skin so hard I felt like it was intentional; squeezing In between the muscle of my thumb and my pointer finger to the point where he was shaking. I pulled my hand back and said enough. This felt like a form of torture. The manicure does look good, however, it was a very painful process, leaving me with bloody cuticles and skin. He was rude but I felt compassion for him as he must be an angry young man. I left him a 20% gratuity. He grunted at me when he saw the gratuity, no thank you or comment. And I couldn't write gratuity on my credit card so I had to send it to him through Venmo because that is the Salon policy. Most certainly will never be back - look at how bloody my fingers are! And sending Venmo gratuity after I have already paid with a credit card is not a convenient process. Gratuity should be something that can be added onto the credit card like most businesses we frequent. read more
