My wife mentioned this place to me and I had to give it try. They just installed brand new pedicure chairs about a week ago and they look really nice and aesthetic. Upon entering, you'll be greeted with a drink of your choice. I had Brenda do my pedicure and she did an amazing job. read more

Diva Nails - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This has been my nail salon for the last 10+ years, my usual nail tech no longer works there. I got my nails done by someone else and the next day my middle finger nail broke, 3 days laters my pinky nail broke. I went by the 4th day and they were closed as it was Labor Day. My next opportunity to go was 6 days later and the man in the register said he couldn't fix because it was more than 2 weeks ago. I explained to him the timeline and how it was less than 1 week, no luck. He wanted me to pay again to fix the nails of the cheap work they did. My nails were done in about 40 min and were really thin. I was happy with the service until my set didn't last. Even the gel was pealing off two nails. I am very dissatisfied with Diva Nails. This is a strictly cash business, no way to proof I was there the day I am claiming as they don't provide receipts neither. The pain of my nails braking and the travel time really took a toll on my busy day as I expect to get my nails done 1 every 2 weeks and not have to go numerous times due to them using less productive and cheaper. read more

Diva Nails - Original set - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

After approx. 15 years of frequenting Diva Nails, I am finally having to discontinue receiving services there. Despite loving the techs that do my pedicures and waxing, I can no longer frequent a location that does not value my business solely because I no longer get my nails done there. The owner is rude and dismissive if you're not spending the most money possible. I was first in line following receiving my pedicure, waiting patiently to advise I'd also like to have waxing services performed. She looked past me and asked the woman in line behind me what services she was seeking today. Diva used to be THE spot, but, as the reviews over the past few years reflect, they do not value anything beyond the amount of money you're willing to spend. I'll give them credit for not ACTING like they value their customers when they don't, but, without customers, you wouldn't be in business. It's not as if they're the least expensive spot in the area, which never bothered me, but I'll take my money and business somewhere I'm treated with basic decency and courtesy here on out. read more

I get a pedicure most of the time here with gel and it last over a month most occasions ! I have rarely found cracked polish and everything has great quality when it comes to service , hospitality and overall products they use on you . It very relaxing and I've been coming here over 5 years now I'm very thankful the vibe is overall positive happy and enjoyable read more

I'm a Diva Nails frequenter, this is technically my favorite nail salon in SD as I've completed at least 50 visits here but I hate how high they charge and how the nails always break. I've been here for 6 years almost every month or two, I'm a huge fan of their work and their ability to churn out really good nail designs really quickly but I HATE HATE HATE how quick my nails ALWAYS break when I get them done here. I get long acrylics with gel polish and designs so I'm paying top dollar for my set that feels like a big price jump from other local salons. You're paying for the nice location, comfortable setting and fabulous work. But they tend to file the nails down THIN which looks great visually but makes them prone to breakage. I've had to return 3x to fix the same set before. I've had a pinky nail bleed from breaking. It was the most gorgeous pink marble design of my dreams but man it was literally BLEEDING because it broke so deep in my nail-bed. This time, in January 2026, one of the nails on my new set broke within first 24 hours the night before my birthday and I don't have time to go fix it!!!! It's super aggravating which is why I like to go to get my nails done at Styles Plaza Bonita (on the first floor by Target) instead half of the time because they keep your nails thicker there and they don't break even after a month. read more

Diva Nails Chula Vista I'm sharing this in hopes that management will take it seriously and make this right. I have scheduled appointments in advance multiple times, yet I'm consistently asked to wait 30+ minutes because my technician is still with another client. This defeats the purpose of booking and shows a lack of respect for customers' time. More concerning is the service quality. My clear requests to properly remove and replace acrylic were ignored, the work felt rushed, I left with cuts on my toes, and within days the acrylic cracked and broke. This reflects poor workmanship and inadequate care. When I calmly raised these concerns, they were dismissed and I was still charged full price, with no meaningful attempt to resolve the issue. Because this has happened more than once, I'm extremely disappointed. I would appreciate management reaching out to address this experience and provide an appropriate resolution. -- Valerie read more

Diva Nails - Nails by ivy she did so good best lady in here so nice ask for her ladies ! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I went today to get a simple eyebrow wax clean up and I CANNOT BELIEVE the lady waxed both of my tails off my eye brows! Yes both of them. Because I am blind without my glasses on and I do have them micro bladed I did not realize at first what she had done. It wasn't till after the movies with my daughter that I took a closer look at them and realized that she waxed both tails off. I know the lady clearly knew she put wax on my eyebrow tails and did not even tell me what she did. More than likely in hopes I would not notice. I will neveeerrrr come here nor would I recommend anyone to come to this place where an employee couldn't even own to what they did and try to fix it instead of trying to get away with it. read more

Really nice to pamper yourself from time to time. I was at a birthday party with some friends and one of them lives in Chula Vista and suggested to get us a Mani-pedi at this place as it is cheaper than in San Diego. I am not used to do the fake nails (last time was 3 years ago) but I loved my experience at Diva Nails. Very active salon, it was so busy all the time I was there. I really like the result of my acrylic mani and my monkey toes got very happy too. Only think I didn't like was to be charged $2 for using credit for each transaction. read more

I came in as a walk in for a pedicure and was taken pretty quickly. I wanted a French pedicure and had told the lady that was doing it I had three acrylic toes so to cut those down especially. She seemed confused and literally brought someone else to ask me if I wanted them taken off which I said yes to but then she proceeded to just paint over them without doing anything yo them but taking off the old gel. When she was done I noticed she literally didn't even attempt to redo the acrylic so it was cracked and all my French lines were crooked . Yes I could have said something but at that point I just wanted out of there . She seemed rushed too so that wasn't fun . I didn't take a picture but you can believe me when I say Diva nails is a hit or miss and today it was an absolute miss. read more

Horrible service I got overcharged for a fill, apparently they make their own prices. They don't explain what they charge you for. I requested a cuticle removal which was 7$ and after I payed for the fill and cuticle removal I asked why I got overcharged she told me because I had to much cuticle and she charge me 13$ . Apparently they make their own prices. I will never be going there again . She was rude and unprofessional. read more

Look I paid with tip 150 dollars I do not mind paying, but I do expect that they last at least 2.5 weeks but with a good mail tech quality will last 3 weeks. I am in so much pain right now both hands all nails are lifted. 5 nails gone... look they looked beautiful as soon as I did them and I loved them and I said I want to make them last for a bit but this is not the business. Diana had such a great vision and I was soooo happy but right now I feel regret. Both my hands hurt so bad. Fresh set as well. read more

I've been a customer here but I dont know if it's just me or if the prices have gone up. I went in for a refill and a pedicure and got french tip on both. I was charged over $100 Dlls. Mind you, I got short nails. I was surprised with what they charged me, do they have fixed prices or do they charge you based on how you look? I might just go to Tijuana and get the same service for waaay cheaper :/ read more

I came here to get my nails done and was very disappointed with the service. The nail tech who did my nails did a terrible job and got upset with me just because I pointed out that I didn't like ONE nail. Her customer service was awful, and throughout the appointment she kept being rough and hurting my hand while working on my nails. To make it worse, I paid way too much for nails that didn't even last--within just two weeks they started falling off. Definitely not worth the money or the experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for quality work or good customer service. read more

Diva Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been here before but the last two times have been terrible. I didn't even get anything done due to the long wait. I understand if you are short staffed. I understand if there are people ahead of me. When you tell me it is a 15-20 minute wait and by 30 minutes I still haven't been helped, that is not ok. Last time I came with someone and they were helped while I was kept waiting, I figured people who were getting seated had appointments, so next time I tried making an appointment but couldn't. I don't have a preferred tech so I just wanted an appointment with anyone but was told to come in. Today again "15-20" minute wait. At 30 mins I ask how much longer. The girl says about 12 more minutes. So a 15-20 minute wait is actually closer to 45. Just be upfront and people will decide if they want to stay. I left and will not be coming back ever again. read more

Came here to try a new place out and it was actually such a terrible experience. I arrived five minutes before my appointment for an acrylic fill however, I still waited for about 20 minutes to get seated with someone. I showed her a picture of what I wanted to get done and then she got started. I wasn't satisfied with the shape so i asked her very kindly to fix it but she gave me an annoyed look and sighed loud. When it came to the french tip I let her know exactly how i liked mine done but she didn't do it right which is totally okay because not everyone can do it right. However, this just lead her to get upset and she told me "well someone else can do it then", and I simply agreed because that attitude was not worth my time. The lady that did my french tip did a good job, but not even two days later the gel on my nails started to peel really bad. I've been getting my nails done every month for the past 5 years and that has never happened to me before. A few days later one of the nails popped clean off as well, which again has never happened to me before. Overall, the staff were rude and the quality was very poor. read more

I have been coming to Diva Nails for over 8 years, my mom, sister, and grandma all come here as well as friends that I recommend they are affordable and I love the workers. Well my mom bought me a gift card for Christmas from them so I can get a pedicure and nails done, I went there today and got all my services went up to pay with my gift card and the lady said that the gift card numbers don't match any of the gift cards they have in their system. This was an $120 gift card. The lady at the front desk then called the boss and the boss said she would not honoring the gift card because it didn't match in the system, I told her my mom bought this and I've never used it. She told me even if I had a receipt it would not matter because it doesn't match in her system. I was very upset I had to pay for services that I had a gift card for. I will not be returning and neither will any of my friends or family. Also my mom called the credit card company and they see the transaction where she bought the gift card for 122$ because they always charge a fee for using your card. Her credit card company will be disputing this with Diva nails since they refused to provide the services that they sold. I'm so glad my mom used her credit card to buy the gift card instead of cash like they always want. Horrible customer service. read more

I ask how long before I am seen and she says I don't know sit and wait. I said can you make an appointment for me for tomorrow she hesitated and said what time I give her a time and o say so no one is available todays right and she smirks and says NO not today then proceeds to sit someone that got here after me. This lady at the counter who wouldn't give me her name is a total B rude person read more

Woman who did my nails was sweet & didn't give attitude when I asked her to paint the sides more than once.

Nothing special here, I'm not a mail girl though either and this is probably why lol I'm never pleased with outcome. I feel like nail techs don't love the craft they just do it. Anyway these are my birthday nails, I'm going to add some stickers to them for a little pop I wasn't going to post the pedicure pic but I did here y'all go.

Horrible experience. I've been here twice before and the work was mediocre at best. I came here one more time to give it a shot and had a few people refer me here. I wish I didn't come back the third time. I got a new acrylic set for a trip and they didn't even last a week. I showed the nail tech an inspiration picture and the designs she did were horrible. She was also distracted and talking to a coworker the whole time. I was so unhappy with the design she had to redo it 3 times. It eventually took too long and I was paying a sitter so I had to leave and settle with the poor design she did. I noticed on my trip the next day the tips she glued on weren't glued on properly so within a couple days they all started breaking off. I called to see if they would fix them when I got back from my trip and they said the same person had to redo them even though she did the worst nails I've ever gotten in my life. I made an appointment with her first thing the next morning and she called out "sick" probably knowing she had an unhappy customer coming in for a redo. They said since she wasn't in I'd have to see someone else and pay for a new set or come back which I couldn't do since I pay for someone to watch my kid every time. She said the best she could do was charge me "half price" for 30 dollars. When I took my ticket to the front that said 50 I questioned how 30 was half price and the manager fought me on it still. I paid and left. Here we are barely a week later after they redid my new set entirely and another nail has already broken off. When I called to complain the woman on the phone was very short with me and said it's because I have to get a fill every 2 weeks, my nails don't grow that fast so I usually go every 3-4 weeks and anytime I get a new set they last at least that long. I get if it was a fill since they're a little weaker but they were both new sets. The woman on the phone said I'd have to go in so she could take a look and see if they would help me. I told her I can't pay for childcare a third time in 3 weeks for them to charge me for another new set she said ok and hung up on me, horrible customer service!!! This place is overpriced and horrible. Will not be returning and will tell everyone I know never to come to this place. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HORRIBLE NAILS THAT DON'T EVEN LAST 2 WEEKS! read more

Super disappointed because many of my friends come here and I see the quality of nails they get and what I got is nothing compared to the way their nails look. Again $57 for SHORT nails that aren't done correctly and finished in under 30 minutes .... QUALITY is what should manner not the time I spend in your chair read more

Love Diva nails! I have been coming here for a few years now and have no complaints. My nails always look great and last a long time.

Well.. I was extremely disappointed with "Tiffany" She was abrasive, it appeared to be in a hurry. I asked 5x for hot wax for my hands and feet.. well the wax was extremely hot and burned my feet so I decided not to get my hands burned. I will probably come back for basic mani/pedi's but no Tiffany and no hot wax for this guy .. the Management ?? Appeared not to care.. read more

When I tell you they're not consistent they are not! They don't know how to do anything literally. Nails are always different sizes and always thick and shaped wrong all the time. They don't know how to do anything right. They need to give it up and stop scamming for half ass nails respectfully. I have been going there for abt 10 months hoping they can get better but it hasn't changed. Do not recommend and will rather have my money spent somewhere else ! read more

Well I get my nails done here all the time, but today I had a slightly different experience. I normally love going here and I never feel rushed or like I'm not just another person and today I didnt Have a good experience. I also got cut a couple times. I do like the way my nails turned out although there are some mess ups on them (minor) but I felt like when I was addressing my concerns I was talked to and looked at like I didn't know any better and I just didn't feel heard and what exactly I wanted. Again this place normally makes me feel really beautiful after coming out of it but today I just felt really rushed, unheard and also got physically hurt. Again the nails look fine, but the process wasn't as great as it normally is. read more

They do great nails. This is the reason they get 1 star. Unfortunately, their customer service is HORRIBLE. The two, who I assume are the managers, is one old guy and one older lady. They direct everyone in and tell them who is servicing them. They are incredibly rude, they are condescending and have no idea what customer service is. Of course because these two don't give a crap about treating customers kindly the nail techs act the same. I definitely won't be spending my money here ever again. Horribly ran business with potential if they can bring in competent managers. read more
