Last few visits were very disappointing. Appointments felt rushed and the energy was just off. You can definitely feel when they are frustrated as employees when your in the salon. Myself and client next to me were unhappy with our designs. The client next to me was much better at speaking up I kind of gave up after I noticed she wasn't making the changes I asked for. The tips on my acrylic nails were placed at different angles you could definitely tell they were straight and I mentioned I wanted them shorter multiple times and felt ignored. My friends and family have been customers for over fifteen years and it seems we all have noticed a big change in effort and it doesn't feel good not being happy with the service and spending $65+ on it unfortunate I kept trying to like the outcome but I've given up.

I just had a simple manicure. I was seen quickly and the manicure was good. Their price is reasonable.

Love my pedicure ! They really take their time w everything and love how they take their time w cuticles and cleaning out nails, massage & really nice ladies. Didn't ask for the ladies name but nextime going w her ! read more

I've come here pretty often I just haven't had the opportunity to review. Like any nail salon, it has the favorite techs, mine would be Kathy. She does a really good job every time, you can tell she takes her time with her work which is really appreciated. i'd much rather them take an hour to do a manicure instead of 30 minutes if it meant they would come out nicer. overall the establishment is great, very friendly and clean. I got a full set along with a pedicure. oh! only thing I would like would be more care for around the nails. other nail salons will cut hangnails or fix cuticles, so that could be added. read more

Cherry Nails - Acrylic, long nails, w/ coffin shape. Light Pink with small red hearts on the ring fingernail. - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

Cherry Nails NEVER fails me! I feel bad for some of their negative reviews- I have had nothing but the best experience here and I'm now going on year # 3 with them. This is not a "you get what you pay for salon" because it's relatively still more inexpensive than other salons but with quality work! All the techs are friendly and aim to please- I would and will still recommend them! just give them a chance. This is a service- tell them what you want and if you're unhappy about something let them know right then and there, so they can make it right:) if you don't say anything and pretend you're okay with it, smiling at them and then paying for something you don't like -that's on you! Please don't be mean in a review because that wouldn't be fair! I love Cherry Nails! * call and make an appointment- if you do a walk in- there's a good chance you might have to wait a little bit but that does NOT deserve a negative review - remember when a business is busy that is a good thing! read more

QUESTION for any recent customers...is there still a MAN, nail tech. working there? I used to go there many years ago, and he was the only one I would book with. Hands-down, he was the best there! I tried to call but got no answer. I need a fill and have recently had a full set, and 1 fill done in the E. Valley nail shop next to Albertsons. Not pleased with them. The last fill is trash these are coffin nails with gel paint. But you can't really tell they're anything but square. Mine are wider at the point they're supposed to thin out), rushed, and they're lumpy w/dips in them from the side view. I want coffin tips with gel paint...the fill from another shop was $39.00...was charged $40 for the full set at the same place on E. Valley. Their review is next. read more

I've been coming to Cherry nails for the past 7-8 years. I've only had a couple times I was unhappy (nothing serious) and all in all, they do a GREAT job. I've had to come back bc I messed my pedicure up and they've always fixed it right away and for free even though it was my fault. I have ingrown toenails and they always dig them out for me. I always get the French tip and the callous remover treatment (I wear sandals a lot and don't want the dead dry skin look). They have newer chairs and flooring and a good aesthetic to the place. They don't have a lot of turnover, actually none really. The same girls are here that I met in 2013 when I first started coming and they know what I want every time. I like the vibe here. Everyone has a good attitude and will talk to you as much or as little as you like. I recommend going when they first open at 9am if you don't want to wait bc they are a busy little salon. I try to go 15 mins before they open and they're always gracious enough to get me in a chair right away. I'm pretty loyal to them as I have gone elsewhere a time a two (only because Cherry Nails was booked up) and not been as happy as I am here. The prices are good, the service is great and I appreciate seeing the same faces every month when I go in. read more

Preface: I've been getting my nails done for over 20 years, in many cities and shops. All I can say is that the place is clean. Had my nails done here as it's close to home. To begin, the margins were not finished correctly (extra acrylic left on the sides), the middle was smooth but uneven in places, several of my nails were curved up. At this point I'm out of time and patience. One week later the acrylic is lifting all around the edges. In regards to pricing it's not cheaper than any place else. Everything seems to be "extra." Inexperience is obvious. Still on the hunt for a good place...... read more

Love love love ... I went in as a walk-in and waited about 30 minutes, which I didn't mind since I didn't make an appointment, I was sat down and taken care of by Annie and she was the sweetest, I had kind of a complicated request because my natural nails are super long, but I wanted acrylic powder and gel on top, she was able to accommodate me and even told me what to ask for next time I came in, she was super patient. The price was also very reasonable, right in my budget, the young man at the front desk told me that I had 2 weeks to let them know if anything was wrong with my nails, great service! Definitely coming back. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough we went to the omelette House across the street that was excellent and we're looking for something to do and we found cherry nails we were greeted promptly we are given special treatment and they have a special for children 10 and under which we took advantage of! My daughter which is four years old usually doesn't get her nails painted correctly or cuticles cut they did an amazing job and they were even able to add a few little Fourth of July designs which we didn't even ask for but we're given that is over the top service to us thank you Escondido and Cherry nails read more

Went here a couple weeks ago, worst decision ever. I had acrylics and just wanted to get a fill, however the lady (seemed to be an owner) insisted that I needed to completely remove the acrylics in order to get new ones. She began clipping my acrylics off, did not even soak them!! She was having trouble removing one of my acrylics so she asked another worker to come and help her fully remove it. As they proceeded to remove the acrylic, my NAIL RIPPED OFF WITH IT!!! They did not have any concern for my actual nails or properly removing acrylics as they should've been done. I haven't gotten acrylics ever since. Recommend you spend your earned money somewhere else! Better safe than sorry read more

This place over books. They don't acknowledge appointments appropriately. I made an appointment for a pedicure I arrived 15 mins early... they made me wait 30 mins, they sat me down after 45 mins of being there, then waited another 10 mins in the chair with my feet soaked in just water. This is a total of an hr of just waiting. It's ridiculous! They need to plan out their bookings accordingly. I ended leaving without an apology for the hour wait. Mind you they were still accepting walk-ins knowing well they didn't have the staffing to cover or having customers waiting! read more

Thank you ladies for my wonderful nails. The prices are very good and the workers are friendly. read more

I've been coming ever since my daughter told me about them over 10 years ago! My gel nails are always bitchin', and everyone there is so nice, very professional. I'm super hard on my nails, not only from housework, but as an artist- I beat the CRAP out of my hands!! Their prices are very reasonable, and their work is always top-notch. I worked in the salon business for decades, and I am always happy when I leave there after an appointment. I'm actually getting ready to walk over when they open, time for a fill! read more

After reading the reviews I was nervous to go here, but they did a GREAT job!! Two of my nails needs to be touched up again at the end of my manicure but they fixed the issues right away and the coating on my nails looks great. read more

There is a reason so few reviews and only one photo. They don't know what they are doing. I asked for ped before set put on fingers so my toes dry. They said no we put on quick dry no problem. I've been getting nails for 20 years I've never had pedi done last. When I sat down to get set the guy only did first quater of nails sanded. I asked about need for whole nail sanded so fill attaches he said oh I do that later. I walked out! Like I said had sets for over 20 uears, either he doesn't sand the whole nail and they pop off fast or he takes 2 hours to do a set. Either way not good. Just got text calling me "crazy woman!" In response to my yelp review. Not sure that is good response or good marketing to your primary customers, women. Might want to think about that one sir. Also, ur nails last 3 weeks? No one says that in your reviews. Doesn't make sense because nails grow out so there would be three week gap? Nails would look bad last week. Like I said getting nails done 20 years. Tip: calling "women crazy" is offensive in the USA. read more

The very first time I got zebra print tips were from here. I thought that they would hand draw it, but no, they airbrushed the stripes. They looked pretty decent when the end results were finished, but I was a little disappointed. I kinda expected more. I got a couple of compliments about my nails, but I've had better. When I was done, my nails were a little uneven. The lady who did my nails didn't really file it down. The prices are pretty cheap, but you get what you pay for I guess. Cheap price for cheap nails. read more

Words can not describe how amazing this place is! I was recommended by a friend who frequently comes here, and I thought, why not try this place out? When I walked in, I was welcomed by Mr.Le and he was the guy who did my nails (looks can be deceiving). He was gentle with my hands and he took his time perfecting every nail. His precision is accurate and on point. This place is extremely cheap compared to all the other nail salons, and trust me I've been to a lot! He's shy and a very nice gentle man. I got an acrylic full set nails with claws for my school dance. I come here at least once a month. Clean, affordable,nice place to go to. Definitely recommend! read more

Cherry Nails - My acrylic full set nails with claws! 5/5 recommend. - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

I went here for the first time yesterday as I am trying to find a regular salon. I wanted almond/stiletto shaped nails(with a point), and I wanted to make them shorter. I told the manicurist this before she began. She gave me round nails and said that the point would not look good. I got a spider web on my index fingers for halloween and I wanted it done in black. The lady told me black wouldn't look good, that white would like better and then did the webs in white. It's important to me as a customer to get what I am asking for, and I did not get that here. read more

Kelly is awesome she gave me what I wanted and they turned out even better I love them it's been a while since I had my nails done and I was not disappointed I also took my cousin here that same day and she was pleased with her nails also (: read more

I went back and got my nails done. NOT IMPRESSED. I asked for "round" nails and got square, that dug in to the edges of my fingers. I have now clipped and or picked all of my finger nails down to the quick to stop the annoying feeling. Also my polish is far from the edges of my fingers. I under stand not going all the way to the edge to cut down on the excess but really I can see the pink of my nail from arms length away. My pedicure was good despite the fact that my nails are long and square even though I asked for them to be short and round. NOT HAPPY! Only thing keeping this from a one star is that it was clean and they didn't cut me. read more

Judy did a beautiful job, she was gentle and quick. My first visit was awesome!!!! And the pricing is great! $20.00 for my full set. :) read more

I am giving this place 2 stars because I did not get what I asked for . I went in for a fill (I had powder nails before ) I asked if I could see their powder colors but the person that helped me said to pick from their samples that that's where all powders were. I didn't get the powder I ended up getting gel put on (didn't understand what I meant) I asked for a burgundy color & they started putting black. I stopped them and they said they were going to mix black & red to make the color I wanted . Had them take it off and get a different complete color, i got gel because they couldn't put powder anymore it was just not fun . One of the ladies gave me attitude because I didn't want the black! Below is the color I ended up with it's cute ! But now there's black on the side my nails look ugly and they were left super scratchy and no filed . Don't think I'll be going back. read more

Kim is the best there is. My nails always last a month or longer and my eyebrows are always on point!

These gals are great! Super nice! I've gone before the remodel and after and the gals here are hard working. I also like that they don't chatter a lot with each other in their own language because sometimes it could feel uncomfortable that they're talking about the customers. (come on we've all be there) LOL! Facility is clean and they seem to always be able to get me in. read more

I went here a few weeks ago with a friend and we got full sets and pedicures. The salon was busy, and had limited staff. But the people were SO nice, & the pricing was even better, The charged us $35 each for both a pedi and coffin style full set. So affordable! The can do chrome nails as well! read more

My nails came out chunky and lumpy. I would've rather put stick on nails from target rather then have them do my nails. Service was nice only after they made me wait 35 min past my appointment while another lady just sat there. Just a disappointment. read more

I've gotten my nails done here a couple times and honestly, it's one of the best places I've ever been to. Lee was my nail artist and he was very consistent all the times I went here. They have lots of designs you can choose from. They do air brush design, glitter powder, and pretty much anything you want. Cherry nails is relatively cheap compared to a lot of places. A full set with white tips will cost you $20. read more

Horrible!!!! Bad welcoming me, they couldn't even help me pick the right color like if they helped! They should definitely say other people have appointments, I was thinking I was next and a lady came in and took her in 10 min after I came in, i was thinking they forgot about me or something. Turns out she had an appointment, I literally looked stupid when I stood up asking about myself. Not even that when I asked about me, they completely ignored me like if I should know. Thankfully the Customer told me she had an appointment! 1 min later they took me in. J think it was just rude. They made me wait 30 min.. it was a walk in I totally understand but they should've told me something! read more

I wont even give them 1 star they are in such a hurry to play their games that they rush through pedicures and don't even scrub your feet. even if you ask them to its like they rush through it. The lady did my pedicure in less then 6 minutes and then when I tried to say something she stated that's why they only $ 15.00. I then asked for sandals to put on my feet so I didn't have to put my shoes on and she stated no just walk on the floor. I got so mad I kicked my shoes and messed up my polish I asked if I could use the polish to fix my toes and she said it will be $7.00. I refuse to go back there or tell my friends to go there. read more

Literally the WORST place I've ever been to! WORST customer service the lady didn't understand a thing I was saying she laughed when I asked her to get me someone who knew what they were doing. My mistake for going to a nail place for eyebrow waxing. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN! read more

Very quick, efficient & cheap. They have a stamp card for regular customers. Lady at table 1 is the best

I love this place, Lee is the best I don't go to anyone else if it's not him he knows exactly what I like when I bring in a design he will master it. Decent prices indeed but these Nails will last. I've had the same Nails for two months and they look new every time I get a fill. read more
