    I love this place so so much. Ember is such an Angel and treats all her customers well. She cares so much for everyone and wants you to leave satisfied. Do NOT listen to anyone else's opinion about her, she's incredible.

    French tip.  Nice Job Ember.

    So I decided to try a different nail salon since my normal salon is always extremely busy. I found Ember's and decided to give it a try despite the low star rating. When I entered the salon it was very clean. There was only one more spa seat left when I arrived and they seated me in it right away. The service was great from beginning to end and I was very happy with the way my nails came out. I will go back again. Yay!

    Pretty nails... it's acrylic over my real nails.. no tip on my nails.

    I went in yesterday evening with my mother in law. Ember did a great job on my nails, I let her know that my nails ALWAYS lift. She assured me that my nails will not lift after her doing them. She just did the power over my real nails. So we will see, the location is very convenient and she want really nice. My french on my pedi was meh... the lady did an ok job but over all it was a good experience.

    Love Ember and have to say I've not met someone who works so hard to take care of all of her customers!

    I had such a great first time experience here! If you're thinking of spending the extra $20 for the…read morehigher priced pedicure, just do it. So worth it! Lin was amazing, she did a great job. I did the milk and honey pedicure (#5). They serve free cocktails/mocktails/coffee/matcha while you are there. They even came around with snacks. My strawberry matcha was great. I should have timed my massage, it was 35mins included with the pedicure, they do get up a few times during it, which is understandable to grab more supplies.. but I think they should add on more on the timer for the time they have to grab stuff if "35 mins" is advertised. Regardless, still a great experience overall. My skin was amazingly soft after this. I will definitely be back.

    I had a really disappointing experience at this salon. I arrived at 5:40 PM for a full set of…read moreacrylic nails and did not leave until 8:30 PM, which is an excessive amount of time for such poor results. The technician working on my nails was not focused on her work. She spent most of the appointment talking and joking instead of paying attention, which led to multiple issues. While applying the nails, they kept falling off because they were not being glued properly. I pointed this out several times, but my concerns were dismissed and not taken seriously. When she moved on to the design, the work became even worse. The nails were crooked, uneven, and messy. Eventually, another staff member had to step in and redo everything from scratch. This meant removing all the gel with a drill and starting over, which made the already long appointment even more frustrating. At the same time, I was also getting a pedicure, and that experience was just as bad. The technician did not understand what I was asking for. I repeatedly requested a simple French style, but she kept doing something completely different. I had to ask her two times to redo. It was clear there was a lack of communication. This is not my first time getting acrylics, so I know what to expect. A full set, even with a French design, should not take this long. At other salons, my nails usually last three to four weeks without any issues. Here, the quality was clearly not the same. When it came time to pay, I expressed that I did not feel the service deserved full price given everything that went wrong. Instead of acknowledging the situation, they only offered a 10% discount after I had to ask for it myself. The staff seemed annoyed that I even brought it up, and there was no real apology for the experience. Considering the time, the quality, and the inconvenience, I expected a much more reasonable adjustment. To make matters worse, only two days later, one of my nails has already fallen off with no effort. I got my nails done for an upcoming trip, and now I am leaving with broken nails, which is incredibly frustrating. The place had a lot of potential. They even offer two complimentary drinks, which initially made the experience feel more exciting. However, good perks do not make up for poor service, long wait times, and low-quality work. If the results had been better, I would have come back, but after this experience, I will not be returning. Overall, this is not a place I would trust if you are looking for quality work. I would not recommend this salon.

    Found Sing completely randomly maybe 7yrs ago when she was renting a space in the back of a barber…read moreshop in La Mesa. I am ridiculously picky and was really frustrated by all of the 'pump and dump' nail salons out there. I may have just made up that term but most places do a super half-assed job in express mode. Well, I work with my hands and whatever I pay for a manicure...it needs to last. I was ecstatic to connect with Sing. Her level of detail was/is unparalleled. At the time I was only tending to my nails very sporadically. When I called to schedule an appointment I learned that she had opened her own place in Spring Valley. It's a farther drive for me but 100% worth it. Since finding Sing I will not go to any other studio regardless of price or convenience of location. In the last few years I have also become equally comfortable with Marie. These two ladies are 100% legit with their craft. Schedule an appointment.

The polishes they have are so cute and I love their punny names! The staff are all friendly and all pay attention to detail when it comes to nail art. Sing Sing is usually my "go-to" nail tech and she somehow always manages to get my nails to last long! Other places I've been to, my gel polishes tend to just peel right off in just about a week.
