    Nails by Tammy! Another set that are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted! I will literally never go to anyone else. I've been going to see her for years and will continue to visit her for as long as she is at Clarity.

    I've been going to Clarity for years. Everyone is so nice and they listen to what you want and don't up sell you. Tammy is great with Designs, Cat is wonderful with Acrylic and fills-they last so long, Jenny is great at her pedicures and massage so good. Thank you for always taking care of me and doing a great job! Always bring my family here when they are in town and they've always been happy and prices are reasonable

    Ray is seriously Claritys best kept secret. He is absolutely wonderful. He is extremely talented. He has done such an amazing job on my Valentine's nails. So simple yet crazy cute.

    My little nails .

    This was my first time here I made the appointment yesterday here on Yelp ! They had really great reviews and I needed a place close to home . I did not catch any of the ladies names but they were nice , professional and very patient . I went in for a gel mani & a color change on my toes . The First Lady who did my manicure (I do have to say this was the most detailed manicure I've had in a long while) I'm assuming she's possibly new (4th table back) as I showed her the design I wanted she had to call over another lady to do it for her . Now, it isn't exactly what Was pictured (as I got a design that was on acrylic nails, which are much longer than my natural nails ) but it did come out cute ! My toes were just a change in color ; the lady who did them was fast precise and very nice ! I LOVE A CLEAN PAINT JOB ! The price wasn't as much as I expected (thank god) and the service was great ! I'll definitely be back and I'll bring some friends ! Thank you so much ladies! ‍

    My mom and I have been coming here for years now and we absolutely always love our nails but we also love every worker there ! we look forward to getting our nails done because not only is it relaxing but we love to spend time with the workers who became our friends! unfortunately i have seen plenty of impatient customers who just want to be in and out which i just don't understand, don't you want this time to have your phone down and relax ? isn't that what getting your nails done is all about pampering yourself? I just wanted to post a reminder to be kind to all these hard workers! they only have two hands and they want you to love not only your nails but your time at the salon. thank you to everyone working at clarity nails for being amazing

    My almond shaped nails
    Bianca T.

    Friendly & Pricey. I don't get my nails done often. Went in for a full sent of almond shaped nails with fun style (see pics of result.) They have a large selection of gel nail colors but be aware that the colors they use to make flowers or draw designs (like my nails) is limited. Also I chose a burgundy color and when she painted the design it came out purple??? Not a huge deal because I'm not that picky but a little disappointing. It costed me $60, which I think is too expensive. No extras just nails with scribbles lol *** update: nails only lasted 8 days when the first one popped off

    I was passing through Poway and needed to get a last-minute mani/pedi before an event, so I…read moresearched Yelp and found Studio Mani because of all the great reviews. I called, and even though I didn't have an appointment, they were kind enough to squeeze me in, which I really appreciated. I went in on Friday, 7/17, around 2:00 PM. I want to start by mentioning the woman who did my pedicure. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she was absolutely lovely,kind, gentle, and did a great job. She's the reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of fewer. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my manicure with Nina (although she told me her name was Kim, while her station said "Nina"). She was extremely rude and unprofessional from the beginning. She handled my hands very roughly, constantly grabbing and pulling them around. The turning point was when I politely asked if she was still planning to file my nails into the same square shape I came in with. My nails were visibly uneven and hadn't been shaped yet. She was about to apply the polish, so I simply asked if she was still going to shape them. Her response was, "I already did," and everything went downhill from there. I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years, since I was a teenager, so I know what a finished nail shape should look like. I normally go to the same salon in Mission Hills, San Diego, but because this was a last-minute invitation, I thought it would be quicker to find a place nearby. I wasn't rude or confrontational, I asked a legitimate question. It seemed like she took it personally or was offended, and her attitude became even worse afterward. It's unfortunate because the manager (I believe she was the one who answered the phone and fit me into the schedule) was very nice and accommodating, and my pedicure experience was great. Unfortunately, one employee can completely change the overall experience. If I'm ever in the area again, I would choose another salon, and I wouldn't recommend this one based on my experience with the manicure.

Emily is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about what she does. What I appreciate most is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She always wants you to leave completely happy, and even when I'm unsure of what I want, she comes up with beautiful ideas that I end up loving every time. All of the photos I've included are her work, and they speak for themselves. If you visit this salon, you truly can't go wrong with anyone on the team--but I highly, highly recommend Emily.

When removing my old gel, she relied heavily on an e-file and went far too close to my natural nails, despite me specifically asking her not to. That request was ignored. Additionally, my cuticles were never properly addressed before the gel application. When I pointed this out, I was told that the product she was using works "backwards" and that cuticles could be handled after applying hard gel, which does not align with standard nail prep and felt dismissive. The service overall felt rushed and incomplete--no finishing care like a massage was provided. Between the poor technique, lack of communication, and disregard for my requests, I will not be returning and would not recommend this salon.

They were comfy but I didn't leave it on for too long as I was afraid to fall asleep. Nyny did my nails and she was so sweet! She made sure along the way that everything came out as I wanted it to. The only caveat is it's super expensive (around $150) though it's fine if it's done once in a blue moon. Long gone are the days of $20 manicures... Anyway, def recommmend Nyny if you want a sweet manipedi!

(i tipped over 50% to match because it would feel like a moral failure to pay irene any less than what i paid for my failed set.) all in all, 5 out of 5 stars i am endlessly grateful. my pictures do not do this establishment justice and for that i apologize i will take better pictures with my next set!!!
