    Valerie does an excellent job... she has done my pedicures the last couple of times I've been in...Great job! I'll will miss you... Vivian did my husband's pedicure today... Kelly usually does his and he really enjoys them.... All the ladies at the mail shop are friendly & fast.... I recommend making an appointments otherwise the wait can be long....

    My nails are real and we're pretty long when I got there

    No matter what you ask for, expect to walk out with super short nails. My girl, who didn't give me her name, listened to me NOT AT ALL! I took my mom for a mani pedi. I told the gal I just wanted a polish change on my toes cause I just had a pedi so I didn't want them cut anymore. Also I had foot surgery so I didn't want them messed with too much. I had to tell her to stop twice as she was clipping and filing down to the nub. Now it hurts to walk til they grow out. Next she asked If I wanted my finger nails cut. I said No thank u. I like my nails 1/2 to an inch long. Asked her to just shape a little and I'd like a French manicure. Again I kept telling her NO, too short as she continued to clip and file all the way down. they were so short I no longer wanted the French manicure I came for. If I had wanted them cut completely off I would have done it at home. I like having my nails nice around the holiday but I guess this year it's not going to happen. So disappointed and will never go back to a place that doesn't listen or care what you ask for.

    The best in town! I have gone to more expensive places in Carlsbad + Encinitas and I have not found anyone as good. I go to Jenny and I always get the same exact nail shape and color (baby take a bow). They looked amazing in my wedding photos and I always get compliments when I go places. Just note they are a small team and need you to call for an appointment. I have seen customers upset because they can't just walk in and sit down like other nail salons. Just call ahead and they will do their best to get you in that day if they can! They are also funny and good energy. So that's just a bonus when you are sitting around for an hour.

    This happened the day after I came in. I just super glued it for the last 2 weeks.

    Have been coming here about 3 months now. Last time I was here 2 days later my nail broke and I came in to get it fixed Kelly was upset that the nail broke and told me I better bring cash as it was going to cost for her to fix my nail. Not a big deal, I was already planning on tipping her as she was doing a service for me. Today I went in to get a fill and she informed me that she no longer wants to do my nails because I came in to get my nail fixed. Am I so posted to let my nail be broke? Very disappointed in the customer service aspect of this establishment. Invest in super glue if you get your nails done here.

    My favorite salon. Always a pleasure to visit. Professional, very clean, and consistent!!! Love these ladies.

    Came by for a walk-in appointment with two of my friends for my birthday. These ladies were able to accommodate us super quickly (very lucky since we didn't make an appointment beforehand). So happy with my nails and with our service. They were super professional and took all the necessary Covid precautions so we would feel safe the whole time. They were very kind and hard working. I personally had a lot of questions and was a little indecisive about what I wanted, but Jeanine went above and beyond in helping me make the right choices based on the reference image I showed her. I recommend this place to anyone looking to get a wonderful service (even on short notice!).

    Gel mani after two weeks! Hooray!

    Where have these women been my whole life? My gel manicure was perfect. I forgot to take a photo right away, but here's how good it still looks two weeks out to the day. I'm never going to anyone else. They also remove gel polish using the (proper) soak off method.

    I walked in to this salon and was able to snag the last appointment of the day thankfully!!…read more I was having a rough day and wanted to treat myself to a simple gel mani and regular pedi. The vibe in the salon was great! All of the ladies working in the shop were so fun and upbeat and chatty. The environment was great and it made me feel better after having a hard day. The salon interior is also clean and tidy. The gel mani was done by Tory. She is so detailed. I can tell she has very high standards for her work and is very skilled. She was precise and I noticed that she paid extra attention to cleaning up the gel with a brush to make sure it didn't get on my skin. Her attention to detail can be rare to find at other salons. I don't have pictures of my pedicure but it was okay - I didn't love how my nails were shaped but it was fine and the polish stayed on for a long time which was great. The pedicure was good overall. This was definitely the best nail salon I've tried in north county and I will have to come back another time.

    So the manicure itself was actually okay, I am however used to more of an elongated pampering…read moreexperience when it comes to manicures. Especially when you're paying $55 for them. I will say the polish doesn't go completely to the edges of the nail, but it is what it is. She did a good job . The reason for the 3 stars is due to the customer service element. When I walked in the employees were whispering/talking amongst themselves about a client/coworker that was currently in the salon sitting directly behind me. I don't mind if you need to talk about something going on in the workplace, but that is hardly something to discuss directly in front of the client you are working on. I don't think i'll be going again, but don't let this review sway you, I hope you have a more positive experience!

    Very nice staff. Worked quickly and they all were very friendly. The vibe was very relaxing and fun.read more

    Right when we walked in, I wasn't thrilled with the appearance....but we were visiting for just a…read moremonth and I wasn't familiar with salons in the area, so I had called to make appointments for me and my daughter ahead of time. Anyway, decided to let it go and give a try. The lady who did my pedicure was nice, but definitely saw some unsanitary things she was doing with the gloves she was using on me, and randomly walking away to touch other things. The lady who did my daughter's nails was really nice, and she was happy. However, the experience with my manicure was AWFUL! First of all, I had asked for dip - and they agreed. Turned out they only did base as dip and then did gel for the actual color....within a couple days it was already chipping, which is why I like to do dip. The worst thing, which is what brought me to write this review - is how horribly bumpy they were. The dip was very uneven, literally looked deformed. Then the gel color wasn't fully covering the nail, looked SO bad from the sides. Honestly, looked horrible from all angles! After I paid and washed my hands, I could tell just how poorly done they were. The tech sort of pointed out that they got smudged at one point, and tried blaming it on when i put my hands under the light...but then did another coat and pretended they were fixed. But she was in a rush for the next customer, so she shoved it off as fine. After I was done washing my hands I pointed it out to the other 2 ladies who had helped us (because that gal was with the other customer already). Everyone agreed they needed to get re-done, but I didn't have time to get them re-done. They said I could come back, but really didn't want to. I asked for a refund on the $60 but it got declined repeatedly. Ended up going to MandyQ Nails Art and they fixed them, and was very happy with their work - but not pleased I never got a refund on the worst nails I've ever had from "Popular Nails".
