    I've been coming to this salon for 3 years and love it, they always do outstanding work, there has not been one time I have been disappointed, I love 3D nail art with a lot of rhinestone, glitter, & I always leave pleased and happy, you won't be disappointed.

    Every time I go there's no doubt that Bere works her magic. She is just a wonderful and creative nail technician. She seriously works magic u tell her what u want and that's exactly what you get. I've been going with her for about 3 years now and has not once failed me.

    These ladies are phenomenal!! I absolutely love love love my nails!! Everyone was nice and my appointment was on time. A slice of heaven in Chula Vista. Run don't walk to this place. My new place to be. Thank you ladies.

    In love with my nails!!

    I highly recommend this place! It's small but they do such a remarkable job. I went in with a bad set of nails done by another nail salon and left with beautiful perfectly crafted nails. It's a bit pricey but absolutely worth it! Make an appointment though because they're always booked!

    I really like my nails and Flora, the lady who did them, was really nice. The only thing I didn't like was that they charged me an extra $5 because my 5 year old daughter wanted a second color on her nails. Other than that, service was great!

    I loved them thank you Berenice

    Amazing service. Amazing staff. Nails are on point. I love coming here!!!!!! I don't fawk with the chinitas no more

    Right hand

    Omg. Awful. I just left this place not a happy customer AT ALL! Idk if it was just my luck that I got the worst "nail tech" ever or if all of these women should probably just find a different profession. 1st red flag: she didn't speak a lick of English 2nd: idk if they were trying to get one over on me or what but one lady told me one price and another came at me with something TOTALLY different. I get it sometimes people miss speak but when she asked her about it she was like yeah I told her that much that's what it cost! (If you tell me a certain price then half way into it you try and up it youre outta your mind if you think I'm gunna keep quiet) 3rd: when I pointed out that the nails were crooked and filed down way too much she fixed them but then after applying the acrylic (which is SO BADLY applied and UNEVEN)/LUMPY) over filed and made them uneven, Misshapen and lopsided! I'm sure if the owner seen what a shitty job was done he/she wouldn't have made me pay a cent! Unfortunately I'm not one for confrontation so I paid a whopping $30 for an unfinished horrible "full set" that I will MOST DEFIANTLY have to pay to get fixed elsewhere!!

    Full disclosure: I am posting this 3wks after my visit, but began typing parts of the following…read morewhile still at the salon being worked on. I am adding onto it before posting. 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!

The ladies who did the services were okay and polite, but the overall service was not what I would expect for spending $120 on fills and a pedicure.

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!!
