    Broken acrylic toe nails and cuts

    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

    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.

    Ivy does the most amazing job every time !! She pays so much attention to detail and she's so quick too (': . I showed her a reference pic and she got it exact, if not better. Susan also always does such a great job on pedicures. So sweet and kind. Love love love and will keep going to them.

    The girls are mean they start talking in there language and all the other employees start looking at me I felt uncomfortable they continued, the girls got bothered of me telling her she doing it on even (I told her in a nice way ) and my nails where too thick wide my finger nail is not wide she didn't do them even and this is my 3rd time they had done this to me sadly I do not recommend this place I felt uncomfortable I Js wanted to get up and leave but I did need my nails done I though it would be different this time her energy was really rude.

    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.

    The woman who did my pedicure was very skilled and meticulous when it came to detail. She took her time and really did an amazing job.

    This was after I started vigorously treating it. My toenail was green!!! I'm still treating it twice a day! 3 months after seeing them!

    I have been going to Diva Nails for 18 months. Don't go here unless you want a half asss job done on your hands or toes. Everything was fine until I got a bad pedicure that ended up with fungus in my nail. When I went back later to discuss it, I was rudely dismissed.

    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.

    nails by Ivy 3

    been coming for a few years and they are the absolute best! the atmosphere is always clean & classy, which is always amazing to walk into. the ladies do a fabulous job every single time. i go to whoever is available but today i went with Ivy and my nails came out phenomenal! she's very detailistic, made sure i liked every step, and was out the door in no time. they're the best in the game! i will always come back.

    Broken nail after a week of this new set.

    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!

    Another miracle done by Diane
    Riley S.

    Came w Diane for a more than overdue appointment. As ever Diane continues to amaze me after so many years I've tried many different salons & different nail Techs throughout San Diego but nobody seems to top her. No wonder her desk is #1 :)

    Are they open right now during this covid?

    No They are not right now

    How much does a pedicure cost?

    the spa pedicure is $20

    How much for gel acrylic nails?

    $31 for a full set

    Does anyone know how much a full set costs? Coffin shape, shortish/medium length & one gel color?

    $38 - This is exactly what I get every time I go.

    Do they do dip powder manicures?

    Yes they do. Book your appointment with Dianne! They're all beasts but she's the top beast ;-)

    Do they do dipping powder manicures here?

    Yes

    Does anyone happen to know how much they charge to remove a full set of acrylic nails?

    $10

    Does anyone know the price for a fill?

    They honestly change the prices off and on. They don't organize their pricing correctly. For example, One day you'll walk in paying $25 for refill then the next you come in you end up paying $50... it's honestly ridiculous.

    I heard they do eyelash extensions here, is that true?

    Yes it's true! I believe the girls name is pronounced "hi-me" hope that helps!

    What is the average price for a pedicure that includes nail trimming, cutting, polish and scrubbing?

    Does anyone know the average costs for a full set?

    about $31 and it depends on long/short/shape/design

    Place is good but I went to get a nail fixed and the lady didn't even look at the other nails to see if they were even and made the new nail smaller then the rest and longer. Probably won't go back to diva nails I personally don't like the service?

    How is this a question? This is more of a tip

I did mention that I was dissatisfied before I paid and was offered a smol credit towards my next visit. I feel terrible writing such an awful review of the place because they are very highly rated (which is why I paid a visit) but I have to speak my truth. And the aim of this is to bring an awareness. I've been going back and forth about leaving a review this whole time. I'm disappointed. I expected more. I'd like to return because I AM impressed by their lineup of services offered/the cleanliness and everyone is friendly. With that being said, why wouldn't they have an exclusive lineup of highly & dynamically trained/skilled nail technicians performing services that will uphold the caliber of business The Beauty Plug aims for, on hand, for walk-ins and appointments alike... especially on weekends. thank u, love u. I received a Gel X Full Set w gel polish + "a design" - which was airbrush ombré with an outlined tip & a Gel Pedicure. - Gel X application glue was left with a lot of space where my natural nail was exposed under the gel x nail. If you know gel x you know what I mean. - Blotchy clear coat; not one nail has a smooth clear application. - Crooked nail application on my thumb. - No blending of the nail extension edges to my natural nail. - No consistency in size and placement of the extension. (Some are further over with my real nail exposed.) - After one week most started lifting from my nail bed. - Another tech had to pull away from her client to do a part of the service mine wasn't educated on. *COMING BACK TO MY DRAFT TO SAY THAT A FRIEND TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PRESS ONS* I wish I took pictures. But I had to get them thangs off. Those pedicure stations are very aesthetic but not made for luxurious comfort. I asked for her to trim my toe nails during my pedicure and she butchered them so short when she got to filing it started to be painful. Ending to say that I don't think this place is worth avoiding altogether, but I wasn't impressed enough to make it somewhere I frequent for nails because of my experience. Other services of theirs caught my eye too!

I've been getting nails done since I was 16... I'm 36. So 20 years of nail sets. This is the worst set I've had my whole life!!! The basic set I requested was long square off white. I showed the man that checked me in my inspio pic... ladies let me tell you... it took this "nail tech" 2 and half hours to do!!! And the whole time she complained that the length I wanted was too long... mind you I asked her to cut them shorter than what I really wanted and what I normally get. Then to top it off she struggled to shape them square... the nails she glued on are bigger than my natural nails. And the ends are round. Definitely a big disappointment. Wasted my time and money for "convenience" I would recommend coming here for a pedicure and manicure only. Doesn't seem like this salon knows how to do nails for my girls that get nails on a regular this is not it!!
