Love the attention to detail! They always do a beautiful job recreating the inspiration pics!

Dip powder almond shaped nails
Deneshia L.

I just moved to North Park at the end of July, and Corner Nails is literally around the corner from me! I got a dip powder manicure and spa pedicure--both turned out amazing! The service was perfect and the vibe is so welcoming! Everyone is so sweet, and made sure that I liked what they were doing at every step (e.g. dip powder/nail polish color, nail shape, etc.). I noticed a tiny bump in one pf my nails, and they were so quick to fix it, and to make sure that I was happy with it. I just found my new nail shop!

I have become a regular at this nail salon and I cannot believe that it's taken me this long to write a review. It's just around the corner from my apartment (hehe perfect name for this salon in my opinion) and I walk here. I recommend also walking here since there is only street parking available around the residential areas. All of the nail techs are friendly and knowledgeable in what they do. Their pricing is fair, and even cheaper than nearby nail salons. They now recognize me whenever I go and always come up to say hi, which I always appreciate because it shows great customer service. Also, I almost fainted once while having my nails done (my blood pressure isn't the best) and they took very good care of me, even feeding me candy to make me feel better lol. Overall, this is one of my favorite salons and I will keep coming back time and time again. :)

Skin sheer from callus removal
Emily M.

I had a very bad experience here yesterday. My friend and I came in for pedicures. They had us both get in the chair, started her pedicure and then didn't start working on mine for more than 30 minutes. The water was freezing and I had to ask them to warm it up because I was waiting so long. I had originally asked for a deluxe pedicure but then since I didn't want my friend to wait for me to finish I just did a basic with callus removal. When she "removed my calluses" she cut up my skin so bad there is a huge, bleeding gash. This morning it is a deep, weepy blister and very painful!! Very disappointing, especially because I live in the area.

gel manicure! Feeling like Barbie :)

Corner Nails is my new go-to nail salon in San Diego. Everyone is SO friendly and attentive. I couldn't help but to notice the constant in and out of their regular clients, all of whom had the nicest nails. The salon is small and humble, but impeccably clean. The prices are the best you can find near North Park / University Heights, and they accept Cash, Venmo, Zelle and even credit cards (though with an additional fee. I got a gel manicure for $40, and regular pedicure for $29. You can choose a multitude of colors from DND and OPI. Will definitely be back for my next nail job!

Nail split both horizontally and vertically. I don't even understand how this happened?????

Really wanted to like this place as it's so close, they have a wide selection of colors and do basically everything. First couple of months went well, but they switch out their personnel so much it's a toss up. Eventually, I got a gal who kept filing my nail a weird way (it grows crooked) so I asked her to just leave it so it could grow out (NOTE: was really trying not to be a Karen so I asked her politely to stop 3 times then eventually put another finger there so she wouldn't file it). She kept trying until another woman realized it and finished my nail instead. I was really excited I got a tech who understood, and called to make an appointment with her the next month. Well, I got in there and I heard her say (in a really thick accent, I guess hoping I wouldn't hear?) that I'm "the girl who complained" to another tech. I pretended not to hear it and smiled through the mani pedi, tipped fine. Well, now my toe nail is split from the bed inwards and I have no idea how it's going to grow out. There's also a HUGE dip where the nail polish starts, so I def feel like it was from whatever that lady did. I really really wanted to like this place, but the staff is pretty rude, doesn't listen to customer requests, and doesn't seem like they really know what they're doing except for a couple of people. But hey, if you're willing to roll the dice, I really hope it works out for you!

Right hand

Nancy has done my nails now twice and always does an amazing job. I walked in without an appointment and they took me within 2 minutes. They take time to make sure that you like the colors and shape and always help me decide what will look best. Nancy slayed my nails once again and has the best attitude (even when I asked to change the color of my polka dots right before putting on cuticle oil). I would reccomend this place to anyone looking for a new nail spot. My new staple

Feeling lucky  pastel green for the luck of the Irish this month
Valerie T.

They always take such good care of me and the leg massages after my pedicure in a massage chair while getting my manicure is much needed break in life. I love how warm and welcoming they always are. They had such a steady flow and regulars they greet all day. It may not be the most expensive updated but the staff are extremely nice and do everything to make each guest like royalty. I do love the many options of payment between credit cards, Venmo and Zelle! Thanks as always see you soon!

Love this place! First time trying it this place out and they did a fantastic job! Lee and Tom were amazing. Will definitely be back!!!!

They are some nice sweet ladies. It's my second time going here. But today I left unhappy But $73 for a common design they should atleast be good at ? .... I understand acrylics are 50+ and I don't mind paying but this is ridiculous. I've gone to both nail techs and salons I know what to expect at the salons therefore I ask for simple stuff all the time. French tip .. I asked for thin deep French tip. Told her twice. She fixed 3 of my fingers twice. But I saw her struggling. I got frustrated myself seeing how she wasn't listening. And I have never I left with the bottoms of my nails looking like this before until today. If you're gonna charge me $70 I better get 70 worth of work well done. I rather take a "I can't do this design " then get charged that much for them to look exactly how I didn't want them to look. I try to give salons business bc sometimes yea it is convenient for me but I learned my lesson and I will go back to my at home nails techs. I rather spend $70 else where but atleast be happy with my results

Builder gel manicure (lifted cuticles)

Just ok. From far away they look nice but up close I can't help but notice the imperfections. 45$ for a pedicure but the coats are not even. 55$ for builder gel, but I wish a softer drill was used to clean the cuticle area, I got cut a few times. Also glue on tips were used instead of paper nail forms like I was hoping. And with this price range at other salons I'm used to being offered refreshments, but I was not. Decent prices but if you're very particular about your nails I'm not sure I'd recommend.

This place always provides the best! They never disappoint! Today, my tech was Holly. She is one of the best!

Went for Gel-x fill and the nails were ruined when they treated it like acrylic. Poor shaping and filing of the nails. Would not recommend.

The two times I've gone in, everyone has been so attentive. The leg massages are the best and I'm glad I found a good nail salon in SD.

I originally made a reservation here for my wax service on the app on Sunday, it went thru just…read morefine as they were able to book me a slot for Monday at 1:15 PM. Monday morning came, I got a call from Mission Valley location, I thought it was just a reminder call so I did not pick up, but as I checked the voicemail, I was told I had been cancelled because they did not have a trained male specialist. Well, I called back and asked what I could do because I'm on a schedule so I need stuffs to be done, I wish they could transfer my appointment to another location, unfortunately I had to do it by myself, so yeah I wish the app could let me know instead of letting me book without knowing, yeah anyway I hope they would have at least one male specialist here in the future, now I have to make a bunch of phone calls to rebook

The girls at the front desk have horrible attitudes and are extremely unprofessional. When I called…read morebecause I was lost trying to find the location, they were literally giggling when I finally arrived after 15 minutes of looking. I brought my daughter in for an eyebrow wax and was pressured to buy a membership. After declining, they pushed me to schedule another appointment within three weeks. When I called to cancel, they suddenly informed me of a 50% cancellation fee for a policy I was NEVER told about when booking. When I asked to speak to a manager, the employee hung up on me! Absolutely ridiculous customer service. Management needs to do better. I will not be returning!
