Vincent is amazing!! He is the best nail tech I have ever had, so attentive to detail, making sure each nail is perfectly shaped and that all the designs are flawless. I moved 45 minutes away from this salon and I still drive over here every month to get my nails done, just because Vincent is the best! I completely recommend working with him, you will not be disappointed. read more

Champagne Nails - Always satisfied with my nails. Thank you, Vincent for always matching my design ideas . - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

They don't take their time; they rush. They do it the way they want. They don't retouch. I asked for rhinestones and a design, and the answer I got was that rhinestones don't stay on for too long, and for the design, I don't know. I was very unsatisfied $65 for Nails that I don't even like or look nice to me. read more

I recently visited this salon as a walk-in client and wanted to share my experience. While I was initially greeted by a staff member who confirmed that walk-ins were accepted, I encountered several issues during my appointment that I feel need to be addressed. After being seated I requested acyclic set. They tried to sell me a pedicure service but I decline since I recently got them done. The technician look at down to see my toes to which I showed this was unnecessary. The lady quickly added and cut the nails I was asked to wait for approximately 10 minutes while the technician attended to another service for a male client's pedicure. Later, I was assigned to a different nail technician, who seemed to be dividing their attention between multiple clients. This caused my nails to be rushed, and I did not feel that the quality of service met the standards I expected. Unfortunately, the results were subpar, and the nails do not reflect the level of care and attention that I was hoping for. I've attached a picture of my nails for reference, so you can assess the quality of the work for yourself. While I understand that busy times can sometimes lead to a faster pace, I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that future clients will have a more focused experience. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. I went for a pedicure, the lady that helped me broke most of my nails, by filing too much and too hard on them. Then tried to fix it with acrylic. Horrible experience. Had to leave with nothing on my toes. read more

Super painful and bloody!!! The man that did my nails was super rough and sloppy. When cutting my cuticles and filling my nails he was cutting away my skin. I left with uneven nails and dried blood on both of my thumbs. At one point he couldn't stop the bleeding so he glued the cut shut with nail glue Never again!!! read more

Wow, I called and asked if they did Gel x nails. The woman on the phone was quick to say yes you come now ? I asked her what the price was for a soak off and a new set of nails. I went in and the man I'm doing my nails had no idea what I was asking. He just did whatever he wanted to when I realize he wasn't doing what I wanted. I let him know that this is not what gel ex nails are. They all tried to tell me that this is what it was five minutes later a come out of the back with a box that contains somewhat of the gel x Nails. I don't think they had used this kit yet because they didn't know what they were doing. I wanted square nails, and they did not have tips that were square. He wanted to shape cut and shape them. I did not want that cause it didn't look like the shape I wanted. I ended up just getting a gel nail polish definitely will not be returning to the salon. I had worn acrylics for 35 years and I wanted to get a change. I also did not care for The man doing my nails because he went outside and smoked and came back in without washing his hands and just stunk I'm very disappointed that I spent $96 on a gel, pedicure and gel nails with soak off. read more

Champagne Nails - And my toes - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

I've drove by this place all the time since I live near here, but never had a chance to get service done! This was surprisingly one of the few nail salons open on a Sunday in San Marcos I came in with my aunt (gel manicure) and grandma (gel manicure) and we were helped immediately! I got a gel pedicure and one thing I noticed was that the nail tech didn't ask me what shape I wanted (which is something I get typically asked at other salons). They gave my grandma a discount too since all she really got was gel nail polish painted on ($20 - which is lowkey kind of a lot still given that she didn't get much service but we'll take it lol) read more

So disappointed with this place. Although the massage for the pedicure was pretty good, the quality was just alright...definitely not as precise as other locations nearby. The manicurist(male) however is the reason I would not go back. Rough, sloppy, and rushed. As he was done, I had to ask for him to clean up gel polish from around the nail, which he just buffed down. In doing so, scratched polish off of the nail and left it as it was ok. Showed the owner and her solution was also to just file problem areas down instead of redoing the nail...honestly the worst quality manicure I've gotten anywhere around San Marcos. In addition to that, they also charge more than other locations around. read more

$45 FOR A FILL?! Not to mention the old man working on my hands burned me a total of 5 times while he drilled away at my gel.

I came in with my mom on a Saturday morning, we had made an appointment for 11 am. We came in a little early, and they had my mom's pedicure seat ready within a few minutes. She got gel manicure and a pedicure, which she enjoyed with a mimosa. I chose to get a full set with dip powder, and the man that did my nails made sure to ask me what I would like each step of the way. I think it was a great price and experience for both of us, and I would definitely recommend. Will be coming back for read more

Champagne Nails - Obsessed! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

where do i even start? he worked so fast, which would have been fine if he was doing it well, but he was as also doing someone else's nails at the same time and messing mine up. He was wiping my nails down with TOILET PAPER, and his bare hands, which made my nails bumpy from the fuzz. He was very aggressively bumping my hand into the purple light as he was shaping my nails, and forgot to do my cuticles before so he had to go in after and get rid of them... which he didn't even get them all! I am very disappointed, then have been open for too long, why don't they know how to do nails correctly??? If your still reading this, just don't go. read more

I thought I posted this review sooner but I'm not seeing it on here so I'm posting it again, I've been going to Tony since around June of 2019 and he is the only person I will go to from now on. Not only is this location right by my house making it super convenient but Tony has always been amazing and always gets my nails just how I want them. I've gotten stilettos at many other locations and he has always done them better than I've ever had them before. I get wild colors and designs but he always makes it work and they come out bea. Thank you always Tony! Update: Sadly, my original post had new photos when i just got them done but I can't find them :( but these are how they look weeks later and they are still amazing!!! read more

Champagne Nails - Valentine's Day nails ^~^ - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

Don't waste your money here. I came religiously because this place is so convenient to my house in San Marcos, but it's not worth it. They over book, lie about appointments, it's a stressful environment, and there's cockroaches roaming. The customer service is just awful, they just yell across the room at each other, peaceful. My gel nails peel off within days, the pedi water is cold. After waiting a minimum of 25 minutes with an appointment, they rush through your mani/ pedi and give you a less than a half assed job. I wish I was over exaggerating. The last experience I had with them was so horrendous that I promised myself I would never recommend anyone to go here or come back. After my gel nails chipped and 2 peeled off in less than 2 days, right before my vacation, I came back in hopes they would redo all of my nails because 5 were ruined. Instead they gave me a hard time about coming back and fixed 2 nails. The other 3 got filed down and a new top coat.... sweet. They look uneven now. Then I was greeted warmly by the biggest cockroach on my feet. My gel nails peeled off 4 days later on my vacation. I don't know how they keep business, but please value your time and choose somewhere else. read more

My daughter came home upset with her mani pedi. She was quoted one price and charged another when it came time to pay. She is a student and works hard for her money. She tried to explain and they were rude to her and argued making the situation even worse. She paid the higher amount, still tipped and left unhappy. When she got home I called the salon because she was so upset. They were hard to communicate with and I couldn't understand them I couldn't get any satisfaction . Bottom line beware you will get overcharged and then hounded for a tip. In addition, the job they did was subpar and not worth $70 that they charged her. She even called them on the phone prior to going into the salon to verify pricing. My daughter said that she felt like they were talking poorly about her and the customers in the salon laughing and snickering in a foreign language. Very unsettling. I definitely would NOT recommend this salon. read more

My daughter and I came in this morning. It was my second time coming in. The salon is clean and everyone is really friendly. I tried Tony for the first time and he did an amazing job on my acrylic nails:) I got a pedicure and the lady was very nice. I didn't like that she started painting my toes one color, the nail polish was old so she got a similar one but never took off the old color, just painted over it. My left and right feet are different colors. I asked her to take it off my right foot and she said it would be the same color when she was done. They look different. My 8 year old daughter even asked why they look different? I'll have to go get a polish change somewhere. Yvonne did my daughters nails and was amazing with her.!! So sweet. I will ask for her or Timmy for my pedicure next time. read more

Really poor service on my nails. Got a gel manicure and I had mentioned that she didn't color my entire nail and she proceeded to say she still had to file them down and that she wasn't finished. She filed my hands and ripped and cut my skin. After I had already mentioned it to her nothing changed some of my nails aren't even completely colored. She also used my hand to wipe her brush and left white nail polish on my hand. read more

This place is lovely and I really enjoyed coming here. Unfortunately, today was my WORST visit ever. Stay away from getting your nails done by a guy named KENNY (older gentleman with glasses). 1. Only had one stack of colors to choose from, and when I asked for more colors to view he said that is it. Very limited colors to choose from. 2. He was trying to charge $5 per regular gel color with no designs. 3. Used old towels with other people's cuticles on them to wipe my hands. 4. My finished nails were bumpy. 5. I had two fingers bleed around the cuticle area because he was using the buffers on my skin not on the nails. Needless to say, please look at the pictures. And make sure you look at the menu so that they don't charge you the wrong amount! This place is good but just don't get your nails done by KENNY. read more

Been waiting for 45 mins. I am super pregnant and sitting for 45 mins for nothing is really difficult for me. I can't sit for another 45 mins to get my nails done or else I'll be in a lot of pain. I tried explaining this to them. I had made an appointment for 4:30 pm and am still waiting to be served 45 mins later. i mentioned this to them and they simply just said sorry. I asked if anything they can do, discount, anything? nothing. can I speak to a manager? They said no, there is no manager. Can they call the manager? "No, we can't." I am concerned-- if there's no manager, is there fraud or something else going on here? Are these women working there safe? Really didn't get a good feeling at this place. These women that work there don't even feel at liberty to call their manager when there's an issue. What are they afraid of? Bottom line I won't be coming back. Don't over promise, over book, and under deliver. these mediocre nail salons are a dime a dozen. Just hope these women and their sketchy business owners aren't treating them like indentured servants who can't solve issues on their own or feel free to call their boss when there's an issue. read more

Very happy with this business. After there was a previous situation in which they had misquoted me on how long I would need to wait as a walk-in (best to schedule appt) I decided to give them another chance since they're 5 min from my house and they apologized for what happened. They do an excellent job and I couldn't be happier with recommending them. Nothing like a business that makes things right. Happy I went back. I mean...look at these nails! read more

Quick service. Lady who did my pedicure was acting very weird and was adamant that I paid with Venmo. She made the situation very uncomfortable. I tipped her 20% of my service fee & she looked very unhappy with me. The pedicure was not good enough for me to tip 20% but I did anyway. Technician reused callus removing device & other tools. She rinsed them in water and put them back into her cart when she finished with my pedicure. Very unhygienic. read more
