i got a gel x set and it was done quickly and efficiently! i totally recommend and mia did such a great job on the design i asked for, overall 10/10 experience and great quality products and nails! everyone is really sweet as well and care about what you want (what shades of nail polish for the design, the shape, etc, is all tailored to your needs). the sets also last super super long, like i've never had a nail fall off even though i keep my nails for 1 month+ read more

I came in to get my eyebrows waxed, and while the appointment started off fine, things quickly took a turn. When the technician applied the wax, it felt much hotter than usual. I figured it was just me being sensitive -- but later that day, I noticed a red burn mark forming right in the middle of my face. By the next morning, it had started to scab. I called the salon the next day to let them know what happened. They said they would inform the technician who worked on me, but honestly, they didn't seem very concerned about it. There was no apology, no offer to make it right -- just a casual acknowledgment and that was it. This was not the level of care or professionalism I expected. Accidents can happen, but the lack of empathy or accountability made the whole experience worse. I won't be returning. read more

Worse customer service ever. They left nail polish on my skin and when I asked to have it cleaned Sean the manager told me to leave and never come back. Unless you worship Sean he is not a pleasant person If I'm dropping 200$ ever time for mani pedi I want my cuticles clean read more

I have been going here for the past few months. This last time idk if the girl used a different product or not but in less than a week I have had 1 nail split down the middle and another break off. I usually wear my nails much longer with no issues. Also the filing against my cuticle was so deep. I have never had less than a week later my nail growth be so apparent. Very disappointed and will not be going back. read more

The best nail salon in all of San Diego. I've tried a lot of places and this is by far the best. Ellie is so sweet and talented and made sure my gel manicure was perfect. And Andy gave me one of the best pedicures. Will never go anywhere else again!! read more

I made a reservation for gel x and a pedicure. The lady who did my toes did an excellent job of doing all the nail prep. My toes, great! My nails on the other hand I was ping ponged to 4 different nail artists, no nail prep done. The lady did an OK job but I got these nails done on Saturday and they already look so grown out. Total experience was over 3 hours because I was waiting a while for someone who knew how to do Gel X to help me even though I booked the service in advance. Not a bad experience but it took a while and I wish my nails didn't look like I've been wearing them for 2 weeks. It's hard to see my natural nail because of the color I got. read more

First of all I called the salon before I came in and asked how much it was because normally nail salons scam you and change the price for every person so I called and I asked how much was it for acrylic and French tip. The man I spoke with said it was $55 and I said ok and came in. the whole time he was doing my nails he made me feel super uncomfortable and kept calling me baby and then when the service was done, he charged me $80 and he said that I heard wrong on the phone. The nails don't look anything like the info picture. They're not bad but they're not what I asked for I wouldn't recommend. He had gelled hair and wore an ear piece to take calls. read more

I really wanted to like this place! Nail tech argued with me on what I wanted and then treated me like I was wrong and did horrible job. Because I was getting a new set - hard gel he cut them shorter than I wanted because he said it wasn't strong, I have stubs, bubbles on my nails and uneven shape, length for $75 without a tip. What a shame, I was hoping to find my forever nail place in Del Mar. Separately, I would be concerned of cleanliness, the places looks disheveled and dirty. Bad vibes all the way. I would have walked out but had a time crunch before my flight. Save your money! read more

Love this nail salon! Tina does awesome pedicures and staff who work on my mani's are also classified as awesome! Always a fun vibe, music and also have learned a few recipes along the way. The receptionist/ cashier is very attentitive and knowledgeable. Gr8 job Blue Sky read more

I love this place my nails lasted over a month when i came here and they usually only last 2-3 weeks! SO GOOD

My nails turned out cute but it took a while to be seated! Went with family friends and they were a little dissatisfied with their nails. They wished that the women doing their nails had been more accurate to their designs, less rushed, and overall more accommodating. I enjoyed myself because I got some cute but simple nails, so if you're planning on going elaborate, maybe call ahead and check in that they have enough time to truly put effort and attention to detail into your experience. read more

Very skilled nail technicians and very nice environment- The manager does a great job keeping track of everything! Thank you !! read more

Honestly, I would really like to gatekeep this spot because it has been the most consistent experience I've had. Usually when I try out a new spot I like to try out different techs to find the best fit but I was luck enough to get Anna both times. The service is quite fast and honestly I've been excited with the outcome both times. I recommend making an appointment as it does seem like they have a pretty steady stream of people coming in! Cozy, clean and some fun channels to watch while you get pampered. read more

Came here on a Friday at around 4pm. They close at 7 and I was expecting that I came early enough for them not to do a rush job. I still got the sense that the lady working on my nails wanted to be done with me ASAP. She barely gave eye contact or said hi to me. She did a decent job with my manicure. With my pedicure I was uncomfortable. When she was working on my biggest toe nail she said something in Vietnamese and looked at her other co workers and they all three looked at my big toe and had a semi-disgusted reaction. I came in the salon with a chipped toe nail, they were acting like I was already supposed to have perfect feet walking in. The salon environment was lively and very feminine. They have beautiful chandeliers and lights. They play music videos that help you feel glamorous. But I left feeling like I've had better experiences at other salons. read more

Meh. Not great but not bad. They didn't push my cuticles back so my nails were grown out at about 2.5 weeks. The nail was a little thick. I go in a jam if I was close maybe. read more

I've been here twice and gotten excellent service both times! They don't take TOO long which is a huge plus for me as I get annoyed if a manicure takes 90 minutes. I have gotten dip manicures that were well done and lasted both times, and a very nice basic pedicure. The prices are very reasonable for the area. read more

Shawn always does an amazing job with my nails. I usually come in with an idea of what I want but he will make the right recommendation for you if you are not sure what to get. There's a reason he is booked out a bit so make an appointment. I always enjoy my pedicures too. They look lovely and last for a while. I refer all my patients and friends here read more

I had appointments for last weekend, which I made many days in advance -- for myself and a family member for mani/pedi. We came into the salon on time ... and it was packed. There were no techs available. We waited 10 minutes, and there was no change & no communication from the staff. Two walk in appointments came in while we were waiting, and the front desk girl then proceeded to the back of the salon to talk to a male employee. I was standing by the bathroom at that point, so I could overhear their conversation, and she explained to him how there were four people total who needed services. She never mentioned that two of us had appointments. The male employee replied "I'll do my best.". I went up to the front desk girl and explained the situation. Her only reply was "do you want to come back a different day?" We ended up leaving. This is so unprofessional. If you're going to run a business, customer service has to come first. If you're going to accept appointments, you need to not only acknowledge them, but also honor them. read more

Tables were dirty. Old ragged, stained towels. Mediocre manicure. Required touch up after leaving.

Their pedicures are fine but in my experience they do not stick to estimated start times for appointments or for call ahead. Usually it is 15-20 later that they will actually take you. There are lots of places in the area, would recommend others over this one unfortunately. read more

I went here for the first time and not really impressed. Seems super haphazard and unorganized. My friend and I booked together- the lady I had would not listen when I would explain I wanted shorter nails. And then she got grumpy and manhandled my hands and seemed pissed. I literally kept saying shorter and she just filed them pointy. There's glue stuck to my hand and skin. Not impressed. My friends nails weren't filed properly so she has bumpy nails. Honestly maybe we just got bad techs but not worth it read more

Service here is amazing. Shawn does an incredible job and pays true attention to detail which is rare these days. I get dip and he never misses. The salon is clean, everyone is friendly, and I 100% recommend. They try to accommodate last minute appointments and always make you feel welcome. Love Blue Sky and Shawn!! read more

Meh, went here before and it was a good experience but today was below average. Polish wasn't even near the cuticle, spacing looked it was already grown out. The gentleman who did my toes did really good. Had to have them add more polish and explain why was ridiculous read more

The best nail salon in Del Mar! We stay at our place here 4x a year and wait til we get here to get our mani/ pedis here! They are so kind & professional!

The first time I came here, it was called Savina and I got tips with dipping powder. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of work done-the powder was way too thick and the almond shape I requested was not the best. Today I returned for a dipping powder fill to find that the name has changed and the interior was getting a face-lift. I was lucky enough to have Tony do my nails and he did amazing! The thickness was perfect, almond shape was on point and he took time and care to make sure I was happy. I will be back because of him! I was also so happy to see an upgraded paying system on the iPad and that cash is not required or encouraged. read more

Do not get waxing done here. I'm no stranger to a quick nail salon eyebrow waxing, but this was really poor. Ripped off a chunk of skin and there's wax all over my face, in eye lashes and eye lid. Still many hairs left. Shape is fine and wax wasn't too hot, just really really poor effort read more

I really wanted to like this salon!! The people were nice and they did try to accommodate everyone, but it was not worth the money or experience for me. This was my first time trying them and I wish I would have stayed with previous salon. They overcharged me for a pedicure treatment when it was just a color change. The nails they did instantly chipped when I got home, and it was just wrong with how they expected me to pay the max. I wish them the best but I don't think I will be coming back. read more

I am beyond devastated I'm writing this review as I loved this place and everyone that works there so much. I've been going to Sean at Blue Sky for a while now and he is the best of the best. Every time I went he was always on time and did an amazing job with the exception of the last two times I've gone. I'm not sure what's going on but making clients with appointments wait over 30 minutes to be seen is not ok in any business. First incident: I brought in my best friends that just had knee surgery. We got to Blue Sky early, but we still have to wait 35 minutes to be seen after our appt time. Then in the middle of doing my nails Sean just jumps up and starts doing another ladies nails. At this point I had to say something as it was TOO MUCH!! Second incident: I brought my co-worker in with me as we had appointments at 1pm. When we got there, it was clean Sean had just started doing another ladies nails. In my head I'm thinking WTF as I assumed the first time was a one-off situation. I politely asked how long it would be to be seen as we were on our lunch hour. Needless to say we ended up leaving as it was clear that Sean had overbooked himself. To this day I've never gotten an apology, we will make it right or anything, I guess they really don't value their clients the way I thought they did. This is so disrespectful of peoples time as none of us have time to sit doing nothing for 30 minutes. But if you don't have anything better to do than pick you nose then go there as they are really good. read more
