My sister in law rented out the salon for her bridal party! Great nail salon and will definitely be back if I am ever down in Chula Vista. They are a family owned/run business so they next time you are looking to support by getting your nails done, come here! Prices are super good and the nail techs are super consistent. Not sure if any particular tech can do intricate designs but I didn't ask for anyone specific and Mei (May(?)) was able to do the simple design I wanted! read more

The technicians here are so kind and very hospitable. It is a small nail salon, but I think it makes it more personable. You get to have more of a conversation with your technician or just relax without so many people around you on their phone like those larger salons. Tran is my go to girl and has been great, I've only starting going here not too long ago and it's a hidden gem right up my street. Tran takes her time and ensures I like the shape the color and everything before she starts. This place is definitely my go to spot for gel mani and pedi. Also want to add that their prices are reasonable. Check them out! read more

I've been looking for nail salons along this area and so far I highly recommend! Try to call ahead of time to make an appointment. The service is excellent and they really take their time. My nail technicians were THU and DUY. I will definitely come back when I can. The price is descent as well compared to other places. There's also a hair salon right next to it if you need to do your hair! read more

This small little nail salon is in the back of a hair salon and easily missed. They do great work and the prices are cheaper than most in the area. They will do any design on your nails and toes are all very friendly. Also have been in the Chula Vista area for a long time. Come support your local small business. You will def be happy with the prices and the creativity! They are happy to do your nails from any pic you googled. It's honestly amazing! read more

It's unfortunate to update this review with such an opposite rating. I came here a few years back with raving reviews, but today when I showed up for my 10:30 appointment, no one was there. There was only a hair stylist in the salon and she said she wasn't sure why they didn't show up for the appointment. I made the appointment this morning at 9:30 for 10:30, yet no nail stylists were there. I asked if there was anyway to contact whoever took my appointment but we didn't know who it was and there were no business cards to try other phone numbers. Weird incident... Unfortunate that I drove all the way here. read more

Opened at 9 am, no one there except for a hair stylist. I asked her what time they would be coming in to do nails and she said "I don't know. Sometimes they come in at 9 am sometimes they don't." There's no other number to contact. What a way to market and keep clientele. By the way, if you have varied hours, list it. Ridiculous. read more

Song is the absolute best! I've been getting my nails done with her for just about 8 years now. I haven't lived in this area for a while now, but I visit frequently and they take such good care of me. She always get the right shape, and her nails are extremely durable. My gel acrylics last me over a month and don't ever look horribly outgrown. I get my pedicures done with Tran and she always does an amazing job too! With extremely reasonable prices and exceptional customer service, this family business is definitely a hidden gem in the Chula Vista area and worth visiting! 10/10 recommend. read more

I was pretty unimpressed with the whole experience. I called 30 minutes ahead to make sure they had availability. When I arrived I was seated without a wait which was good. However throughout the service my tech left repeatedly to go tend to another customer. Huge pet peeve of mine. I understand that they want to serve as many customers as they can but they're doing so at the expense of work quality and customer experience. It also increased the total time of my service. I was there for over two hours. I would have been fine with all of that had the work been decent quality, but it was not. I requested xxl length acrylic nails, coffin shape. I understand that this length can be challenging to execute, but that's no reason for me to pay for poor quality work. There was an overall lack of attention to details; the shape of the nails is inconsistent, lumpy, and looks nothing like the photo I showed the tech. There are areas where the polish did not cover the nail and a pretty significant gap between the acrylic nail and the cuticle. I hate leaving reviews like this because the staff were nice and friendly, but overall it was a really disappointing experience read more

I've gotten my nails done about 4 times but today I got them done with Tran for the first time and can't speak more highly of her friendly and professional service!

I came in late one evening for a fill and she ended up having to do a brand new set because the previous set was done with a cheap acrylic that was chipping off so bad after only three weeks (brand new set). She stayed later and fixed the problem to ensure I didn't have any future issues with my nail. So greatful read more

She then ripped the washcloth off my finger (which HURT) and had to spend 5min tweezing off the bits of washcloth that were not glued to my finger. She also gaslit me and said my skin was so thick, so it was my fault. Not only that- but she often applied too much glue and had to keep redoing her applications. Even after that horrific experience- I was going to let it go. I even tipped her $30 because I'm too nice and hate conflict.

Today, the quality was lacking but I know that's not usual. I was quoted a 15 minute wait time and waited 25-30. They were really nice and gave me water. I also had to have gel paint removed from my toes, so that took an extra 10mins (no extra charge). Although, the menu says a pedicure is 25 mins, I was there an hour not including my wait time. In the end she didn't massage my legs or do lotion, just some oil and a hot towel. They didn't even help me put my sandals back on, she just went straight to the desk to wait for me to pay. If the pedicure process has changed, I'd prefer the menu description options reflect that. I noticed a difference in customer service as time went on and I declined a manicure. Oh well.
