    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!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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. :)

    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!

    Feeling lucky  pastel green for the luck of the Irish this month

    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!

    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!

    This place always provides the best customer service! I have been coming here since they first opened in 2022, and 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 got a Brazilian and DJ was amazing 10/10! It was a great experience this time around. DJ made me…read morefeel comfortable, ensured the temps fire of the wax was good for me and we had a good conversation which made the vibe even better. The front desk was helpful especially while I was waiting she did not forget about me (I checked in early).

    I think I'm finally done with this place after several terrible waxes in a row…read more I always say to please keep my brows naturally thick and when I leave, my eyebrows are always weirdly thin and not shaped like anyone currently wears their brows. I have the 90s cigarette mom brows now! It looks awful on my face. The past couple of times I've also had waxers who wax over the same brow area 2-3 times and it wrecks my sensitive skin. I'm no expert but I know this is a no-no for your skin. My last visit the waxer was complaining the entire time about the other waxers and how dirty they left the rooms (yikes?) This visit my waxer was very nice, I just don't like the results. They've also started such aggressive upselling even after you say no. Last time the front desk lady was literally so rude to me after I said I wanted to wait to rebook. This time at least it was a different lady and she was nice but 3-4 different offers after I say no is a lot. $36 for brows I just gotta wait to grow out again right before the holidays is a lot. I'm headed back to Elixir I guess -- also expensive and slower service and more chatty which isn't my fave, but I feel like my brows look okay when I leave.
