Center of salon and polish options.

In La Jolla for the Labor Day wknd and made an appt for 2:15... manager said I'd need to wait about 10-15 mins. Became a bit concerned as there was initial chaos in working in the walk-ins vs appts; however, it was quickly resolved. They have a large array of colors (by the book) to choose from and the massage chair worked perfectly. The pedicure (sea breeze) was completed with great expertise from prep, scrub, clipping to polish. I definitely recommend this sand will come back when in town.

Gel manicure done by Mimi. I highly recommend her and Long.

Amazing service and very friendly. I went in the Friday before Mother's Day. I work a block away and wanted to get pampered before my Mommy weekend. I was able to make an afternoon appointment that morningLong was welcomed me as soon as I arrived. He did my pedicure and Mimi did my manicure. The other technicians were friendly as well with smiles. Mimi was very friendly and both did a great job on my gel manicure and gel pedicure. I had great massages as well. I didn't feel rushed and they took their time. I will definitely return.

Petty did a great job on shaping and painting my nails. I haven't had a manicure in a while so my cuticles were kinda out of control and my nails have lately been shorter than I like, but they still turned out looking great after this manicure. I wanted a spring green color and they had exactly what I was looking for. I decided to get gel this time but I heard they also offer dip. This was the first time I've tried Charm Nails, and the experience was great. They fortunately had space for me as a walk in on a Sunday, and the salon was clean and appeared to have very modern tools, supplies, and decor. I never got to try the salon that was here before, but this one does look better in appearance. Petty was able to finish up with her previous customer and get to me within ten minutes of my arrival. I really appreciated that no one tried to upsell me during the entire experience, either. Not only are the shapes of my nails great, but there's also no visible bumps in the gel, which can sometimes happen with lighter matte colors. Petty was efficient but also paid close attention to detail with each nail. As I mentioned, I haven't had my nails done in a while so I don't know what the average going rate for a gel manicure is, but this one was $45 and I feel like that's pretty fair. I will likely be back here specifically for my next manicure that I get done in La Jolla.

We visit La Jolla every year and I always make a point to stop in here. The salon is very clean and beautiful and the people are always kind and welcoming! They do such a beautiful job every time. Mimi did my nails this time and I'm so happy with the care and attention should took with me. She didn't rush and she made sure everything came out perfectly!

Morgan doing boss pedicure, so relaxing!!!!

Had a wonderful pedicure today with Morgan! She was marvelous. I got the Boss pedicure ($55) that comes with paraffin wax, hot stone massage, massage and oil and it was literally heaven!!! I asked her to be very gentle like I was a baby and she did just that. It was so relaxing and her massage was heavenly. Also, Morgan was METICULOUS with making sure my nails were perfect. The nail salon is really pretty and relaxing. They say they prefer cash tips so that is what I gave her. Next time I'm in town I am gonna come visit her again. Thank you sweet Morgan!!!

First time here while on vacation for our anniversary. So glad I came! I didn't have an appointment, but I was taken in right away to get both a pedicure and a nail fill. The entire thing start to finish was a wonderful experience. Patty did my nails and did an excellent job. She is a true artist! I showed her the picture that I wanted, and she more than delivered. She was great to talk to you as well. I also got the pamper me pedicure. Both technicians paid such close attention to detail on everything. I will definitely be back when we come this summer!

Pride Nails!

Best nails everrrrr! I have traveled all over the world, and this is the best nail salon I've ever been to. Young was my nail tech and she is so kind, professional she listens and did exactly what I asked for. My situation is unique because I need four fingers shorter on my left hand in order to play guitar, but she was able to balance them out with my right hand, so they looked really beautiful. She also did pride nails for me, which turned out super cute. She charged exactly what she said she would. This is the only nail salon that I've been to that did not try to upsell me or overcharge me. I gave her a nice tip to thank her for the incredible job she did. Definitely definitely coming back. I've already decided. I'm gonna do metallic nails next time. Bonus: my nails glow in the dark!

I showed Savina what I wanted and she did it even better! Love my nails! She also suggested which colors to use.

A little over a month ago I was doing some online research trying to learn about the differences…read morebetween waxing and sugaring. I was interested in something a little less painful lol. I decided to check out sugaring, it seems to be a more natural approach and from what I read less painful because it doesn't pull your skin it just pulls the hair. The sugaring place popped up on my instagram and I figured I'd give it a shot. They were very helpful when I wanted to make an appointment. Appointment day came and the place was really nice, I was greeted by Ariana, she was very friendly, I explained I was a little nervous but she did everything possible to put me at ease. She walked me through the process and it honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. One month later I came back for my maintenance visit Ariana was my sugarista (idk if that's an actual word but it sounds cool) this time was less painful and quicker as well! I did accept the offer of a glass of wine while I waited for my appointment so that might have helped lol. Either way I am very happy with my results and would definitely recommend over waxing.

The customer service here is horrible. I requested a cancelation May 30 2025. Sabrina confirmed I…read moreneeded to give a 30-day notice, which would put the cancellation for June 2025. I am still being charged (Feb 2026) even though there have been many attempts to correct this by phone and email. Someone from the office called me Jan 9th. They apologized but took no action to correct and I was charged after the phone call. I suggest you do not sign up for the membership - they will keep charging you.
