I visited this salon for the first time, as a new resident of SD. The space was very clean and beautiful. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My pedicure experience was immaculate- I still dream about it! Lisa was very gentle, kind, and patient. The ambiance was so relaxing- I fell asleep. The work was very clean and done well. I recommended this spot to a friend and even my family members from out-of-town for when they come visit! read more

Updated review, only caused they asked me to leave a review, even after I told them I already did. I'm not sure how the quality went down. Both my daughter and I got pedicures and my daughter also got a manicure, no gel (my daughter is 10). They said they couldn't do a design on her nails cause she wasn't getting gel, they could only use stickers? My pedicure was mediocre, I've never had a tech immediately go in with an electric file. I guess she assumed I had gel on my toenails? I paid for the pamper me pedi, but it felt very basic. The pedicure itself was sloppy. My daughter's pedicure was good. However her manicure chipped in a day. I get that regular polish chips much more quickly than gel, but if they only want to work with gel polish, then they shouldn't offer regular polish. I was disappointed in the end. It felt like we were being penalized for not getting gel. Even though we had an appointment, I felt like we were in the way. I'm so sad, I really thought I had found my nail shop. read more

Hi, I went here last minute before a trip with daily water activities! They were all very friendly and accommodating! I was in there for about 2 1/2 - 3 hrs, which I would say is pretty fast for gel x nails (with design and jewels), gel toes (French tip), and a full set volume lash. The price was fairly decent, I paid, if I'm remembering correctly, $230 for all services! These are lashes and nail growth about 5 days after service, I had been in and out of pools, oceans, and plenty showers at this point. And for starting said activities just the day after getting my lashes done, I'd say they held up pretty well! Very pleased, 10/10 recommend!! read more

I really like this nail salon. I started going here after moving to La Mesa and it has been my go to spot. Anna does a great job with designs and builder gel :) I also love going to Loni! I typically just have any nail tech do my toes! read more

Unfortunately I would not recommend it here if you want high quality service. I came in wanting the builder gel off of my nails, and wanted a regular gel manicure. The woman doing my nails went back and forth with me saying she would do builder gel because it's stronger. I had to say no multiple times and stand my ground. This wasn't a language barrier thing, she simply wanted to push me into a more expensive mani that I didn't book. She was pretty rough with my nails, especially with the cuticle roughly pushing it back. Additionally, she would pull on the builder gel on my nail which I'm pretty sure you are NOT supposed to do. Some of my bare nails looked rough after bc of the way she pushed my cuticle back. My mani is alright, but some of the free edges of my nail are bumpy and not filed correctly. I decided not to say anything about it so I could just file them at home. read more

Theyre very friendly but their gel-x & builder gel experience is not the best. Ive gone to an independent nail tech who specializes in gel-x & builder gel and this place did not compare unfortunately. The gel-x nails were applied with too much gel underneath which caused my nails to detach a little underneath after about a week. Then i made another appt almost two weeks after for a soak off removal & builder gel and i feel like the gel from the gelx was not fully removed. My nails looked bulbous and im struggling to fix them now. Theyre very friendly & clean but not the best at gelx & builder gel. read more

**writing this from my husband's Yelp Such a wonderful first experience here--and my first-ever Gel X service! I'm not usually a "nail girlie," but I'm heading out on a trip to celebrate my husband's milestone birthday and wanted to feel a little extra fancy. The salon I occasionally visit had over a one-hour wait for walk-ins, so I called this salon on a whim and was thrilled that they could see me right away. From the moment I walked in, the space felt immaculate, serene, and calming, and the staff were genuinely lovely and welcoming. My Gel X nails turned out beautiful and what I wanted and the whole experience felt relaxed and pampering from start to finish. I'm so glad I found this place and will absolutely be back! read more

I have been going here for a few years and I just need to say what quality work they do here. Manicure pedicure, nail design anything I've wanted they've done exceptionally. I went with a friend to a different one for a while and I could really tell the difference in the product and quality. this salon is above and beyond any others I have tried. I would definitely suggest you try this salon. They're very good.. read more

First of all, why do I come in every 3 weeks and the entire staff that was there is gone and new people are working ?? So disappointed. Loved it for the speed, the quality, and the price. My nails pictured below last year cost $65 Went in yesterday for my nails to almost be $95. Felt so uncomfortable, told them to just finish my pedicure and I'm not going to go through with my nails after they started filing my nails, I was so disappointed in the Customer service, and the $30 prince increase. Also my $44 pedicure was awful, I literally go for a relaxing time to unwind and I was in and out in 25 mins, not even knowing if she put lotion on my legs. There is so many nail salons in the area, and I used to love coming here, but I won't be spending my TIME, MONEY here anymore. read more

Very nice salon. Very clean. Very peaceful. The gals are great and give good service.

When you speak with the owner, he gives you one price, but once you sit with a nail tech, they attempt to upcharge you. There is clearly a lack of communication between the owner and the nail technicians, which feels misleading and unprofessional. If you choose to come here, make sure you get a firm price from the owner and confirm that it has been clearly communicated to the nail tech before starting your service. read more

Lovely salon and excellent service. Very thorough and my pedicure was perfect. I will be back!

I had a chance to visit this salon while I am coming to San Diego. The staffs are very nice, and friendly and the salon is clean. I had the best pedicure there, very relaxing. I will definitely come back when I visit SD again. read more

Came here for the first time and Anna did such a great job! I couldn't decide which color and so she asked me what occasion and the color of dress/outfits I'd be wearing, and her choice did not disappoint. :) I loved it and will definitely come back! I highly recommend this place! read more

8/10 overall. I am happy with the quality of my pedicure, the price I paid and the service overall. The outside is nothing nice but the inside is much better. I'm giving an 8/10 because while my toes were drying I was approached twice by the people who worked there with a QR code being asked to write a google review for them right then and there. Both times I said no thank you and they asked what was wrong with my service. Nothing was wrong I told them I simply did not want to write a review at that moment, I just wanted a moment of peace. read more

I always end up coming back here. The prices are reasonable, the work is beautiful, and the service is consistently great. I love my cat eye gel nails. She also offers lashes and waxing, so you can get everything done in one place. read more

I just recently moved to San Diego and I was looking for a spot to get my nails looking flawless with each visit. I came across this place and I will never go to another because this place is IT!!! All of them are wonderful people and do their best in achieving with what I'm looking for as in regards to design and look of my nails. They know me by name and always give exemplary service. I love their welcoming demeanor, it makes me feel connected and close with them because they genuinely want to know how you are and just really get to know you. Pricing is fair I usually spend about 70$ with Gel X and design (one to two fingers only). Sometimes I spend a little over 100$ when I include a gel pedicure. Please do yourself and your nails a favor and come to this spot. You won't regret it (: read more

Did my nails a tad different this time by going with builder gel, it honestly went on better than what I'm used too which is acrylic, since I have thinner nails Hanna had recommended me this option, I really love the shape, and the very minimal color which looks natural and is always a compliment giver at any event. Iykyk clean short and cute. The place is always clean too which gives off a really good feeling. Great job. Been here for 3 yrs and ongoing :) read more
