I rarely post negative reviews but this has been bothering me. This review is based on customer service. Went in today (on a Monday), there were only 2 people getting pedicures and 3 nail technicians. The main technician/manager came out with her planner/calendar and said they were busy. She didn't offer me an appointment or suggest I come back at a later time. No explanation....nothing. Made me feel dismissed and like they didn't want to serve me. So I went to Luxe Nails in Santee and they did a great job! Felt welcomed and taken care of. Won't go back to Forever Hair & Nails. read more

Disappointed while writing this but I do want you to know how bad this really is. I have going here for about 3 years maybe even 4.. I have been going to the same person because she did it great job. Recently, tables have turned. Everything I asked for it shorter or more coffin or different shaped she wouldn't do it. So everytime she didn't do what I asked I end up breaking them almost everytime becuase they're to long.. then give her more work to do and I have to pay extra.. I started letting the manager know my complaints and she had said she let her know and it will be fixed. WOW was I lied to. I filed my nails down to the length and shape I WANTED and she said it was "to messy" your here to to do a fill and drilling it and shaping anyways it's not messy. JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDNT LIKE THE SHAPE DOESNT MEAN IT WAS MESSY. I LIKE EXACTLY HOW IT WAS. I used to do my nails I know how to reshape. So, she didn't like them and POPPED them all off!! I KEPT telling her it HURT and she still pushed! I started sweating so bad SHE knew and even turned the fan on and she didn't stop! I ended up with nails I hate I went home reshaped them AGAIN! Ended up with extremely tender nails for the entire week. Do not understand your ripping off the powder with a plastic nail when its not ready to come off. Yes this SH*T hurts. So I said maybe she just wants to do a full set. Okay, going on and I asked for shorter and she filled back and forth ONCE and I asked coffin and my nails are almost square. At this point I was over it. I didn't walk out with horrible nails I walked out with exactly what I didn't want.. AND she charged me for a full. So I took it out of her tip and left. Im not one to get service and not pay even if im upset. So today I text the manager and requested for another appt with her (the mananger) and she told me NO because Kim is like her sister and she will feel so bad?! I don't care how she feels?! She didn't care about my requests the last 4x and she hurt me bad the last time. If you as the manager "told" her and it's getting fixed why did she do worse and give me the worst service? The manager would rather loose a customer after 4 years instead of letting me go to another nail lady? Like seriously. What kind of buisness are you running? Simple request that easily could've been fixed but now I have to look elsewhere. SUPER disappointed in you all. read more

8 years later and this is still THE BEST NAIL SALON in east county! I have learned the hard way! I have moved a couple times in the past 8 years and have tried other salons that were closer or more convenient to me. Even new salons that opened that my friends raved about. All of the other locations (Q's Nails, MK Nails, Crystal's Nails, Style's Nails & Spa, Star Nails, and more) have been such disappointments......from not being timely with honoring appointments, being cut when having nails trimmed, bad work in general, employees that are short and rude with their customers, or nails that don't last, you name it, it's happened elsewhere! I honestly think that Amy is the only owner who actually cares about her customers and her employees. She is super upfront and honest about how long the wait is going to be or sends people away to come back later if they are totally booked. NO ONE else does this. Other places will say 15 mins and an hour later you're still sitting there waiting for a chair. Or you make an appointment and show up on time just to find everyone is busy so what's even the point of making an appointment if you have to sit around and wait anyway? I have never had a negative experience at Forever Hair & Nails. All of the people who work there are super friendly and great at what they do. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Not like some places where you feel like the staff is talking about or making fun of their customers. It is a smaller salon but everything is kept very clean and Amy is always there overseeing everything. You feel like you're part of the family while you are there. I told Amy I am just going to make the drive and commit to always coming here. I want to support businesses that actually care about their customers and do an amazing job at what they do. If you're looking for a salon that delivers quality service every time, you've found your place here! read more

Absolutely awful!! Completely ruined my nails for my wedding. I went in with a picture of what I wanted and had it sitting there the whole time. I wanted a squared oval shape with nude polish and white tips. The ring finger had no white tip but had a simple design on them. What I got was nothing close to what I wanted. The nails I got were too long with a clear base so you could see where she cut my natural nails down and glued the tips on. The white acrylic tips looked like they had already grown out for a month. She put a white tip on my ring finger and when it came to putting the design on my ring finger she realized it wasn't supposed to be there but made no effort to fix it. She didn't shape the nails whatsoever and only put a top coat on them. I walked out wanting to cry since my wedding is only 2 days away. read more

I generally object to "getting my nails did" because I can't stand the constant foreign chatter I experience at most nail places. I have only visited Forever nails once, on a Sunday afternoon, and it was delightful. The chatter was minimal, mostly between clients and employees. Color selection isn't great, next time I think I'll bring my own (I prefer top brands to China glaze--I think they last longer). Prices are comparable to other shops. I had a mani pedi, so I was there a little over an hour, and didn't mind one bit. The seats are massage seats, it seems a clean facility and the restrooms are cleaned and checked regularly. read more

Everyone was super nice. I was greeted immediately after I entered the door. The nail technician brought me a binder containing a large sample of glittered acrylic nail tips. She extremely gentle, through and made sure that she completely removed all of the red glitter from my previous fill. And she cross checked, which so many technicians forget to do. In the end I got exactly what I wanted; the right color, shape, and length. The salon itself was clean and had a very pleasant vibe. The technicians appeared to know most of the clients the entered, indicating a lot of repeat business. I definitely think I'll be back. read more

After reading all the great reviews here on Yelp about this Salon and needing a salon that was open on Sunday's I decided to try this place. I was lucky enough to get an appointment to get my hair cut on the same day that I called which I was very happy about and their customer care was fantastic. These girls that work there are very sweet and friendly. Amy gave me a great cut! I couldn't be happier with it. I haven't had a great cut in a long time. I have tried several different salons over the past few years with mediocre cuts and that is definitely not the case for these cute little Salon. The first thing that I noticed was how clean and well kept the place was. I was greeted very warmly and felt very comfortable there. Something I feel a lot of Salons are lacking. I finally have a place to have my hair cut over and over again! I can't wait to come back and have a pedicure done here. Their chairs looked super comfy! read more

Well it was cheap. They were pleasant enough I guess. I hate fake nails so I asked them to trim my nails and paint. Bottom mani pedi for $29.00. Plus $5 tip. I shouldn't have tipped but I always feel bad not to. So the bad part. Nobody wears name tags and they don't tell you their names... so I blame them all for the single persons actions. They cut my nails too short but also, she cut them down to the nail bed. One of my nails is uneven if you follow the nail bed only instead of making it's even. I asked her to fix the uneven nail and she blames my fingers. I have never ever been told my nails can't be even because of my nails?! Like maybe you shouldn't have cut them too short and uneven you idiot! But I responded with "you cut it too short and now yes it is unfixable. But this is your fault" and she had no response. My toes even have paint on them where she made a mess and didn't clean it up. Don't waste your money for the sub par service. read more

However, they really did a FANTASTIC job on my hands and feet. And after 18 days, not a single nail has chipped, which is nothing short of a miracle for me.

Great selection for pedicure options ranging from low $20s with a bunch of addons for up to about $35 I believe...the $30 pedicures include an extra 10 minutes of massage...so effing worth it!! The massage chair is also my favorite of most salons I like the controls for my sore back. Always a great treat for myself always affordable and worth every penny. read more

If they are running behind they call to tell me to come later which I really appreciate. I go with my mom who is in a wheelchair but can transfer herself to the pedicure chair. It's nice that they make sure the first chair is available for her because she cannot walk unassisted. Diane is seriously the best! I'll keep coming her for years to come.

I had such a wonderful experience during my recent manicure. My nail technician was professional, friendly, and incredibly detail-oriented. She took her time and never rushed through the service, which I really appreciated, especially compared to other salons I have visited. The ambiance was pleasant, clean, and very comfortable. In the background, they had a relaxing musical playlist that included nostalgic 50s tunes and fun 90s pop music. After my nails were finished, I decided to enjoy a 15-minute neck massage, and it was heavenly. She used oil along with a soothing, pain-relief heating ointment that felt amazing. I left feeling relaxed, pampered, and extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Highly recommend!

I usually have longer nails and get cute designs all the time but right now I've been having to do shorter nails instead. I really appreciate the time they still take to make sure my short nails still look just as good as my long. The shape is always perfect and the color(s) are nicely applied. I have never walked out disappointed. I also get pedicures here and it's so relaxing. They have several options but I like the one option that includes hot stones. And everything is very clean and professional. Honestly I recommend this salon to everyone. I went to a couple others before coming here and this is by far my favorite spot!

Updated after 1+ month :…read more My purple set was still in tact (no chipping paint or lifting) after almost 2mo. I was going to do my nails myself but decided to go back and I must say the vibe was still great and they nailed my design inspo, however I had a different manicure nail tech this time. The issue I have with this is that the Gel-X application quality was not maintained like it was my first visit. About 1.5 weeks in and I noticed not one but BOTH of my pinky fingers have lifted significantly. For reference I don't do any crazy manual labor outside of the house and I literally wear gloves for everything at home . The first time I came to LK I had no lifting at all for almost 2mo.(pic included) What's even worse is that I had high expectations of consistency since there were no problems with the 2 ppl who switched off on my purple set. I paid (after tips) around $177. I'm super disappointed because I was going to do my own nails but decided to go back since my first time was so great but this was the result. As for me and my house I will continue to save my money and do my nails at home with lasting results.

Just got home from getting a pedicure at this place and boy oh boy was i very disappointed. First off my mother and i came in she had requested Amy to do her toes and was told Amy was there but not available due to another appointment witch never even showed up till after we were done. Also the 2 girls rushed through our pedicures no leg or foot massage at $22.00 i could have washed my own feet with scrub trimmed my own nail rubbed lotion on my feet and legs my self. other than the fact she did not take her time while trimming my cuticles she stabbed me with the tool. Also hardly said one word to me no hi how are you? did not even offer to put a flower on my big toe. the last 2 times we have been to this play we have had a poor experience. needless to say we will not be coming back. read more

I went to the same place in El Cajon for 20 years, until my gal had to quit. So looking for someone new was a real challenge. Now, I have been going here for about five years, and I am never disappointed. Kim is my manicurist, and I LOVE the way she does my nails. I have even gone 2 months without a fill on a French manicure, and not a chip or break. (Just the usual grown out gap.....) Everyone there is friendly and I can either make an appointment (my preference) or walk in. Amy makes sure walk ins have very little wait, if any. Give FOREVER NAILS a try! You won't regret it! read more

HOLLY does my mani and is so fast and efficient. Every month, I get compliments about the different designs (I always pick a nude base so the regrowth isn't noticeable).

After coming to the salon for 10yrs now, I was even able to convince my boyfriend to try a professional pedicure for the first time. He now comes with me for a monthly pedicure with DAISY. She always has the best smile on her face is gentle and efficient.

Friendly & accommodating!…read more Popped in last-minute on a busy Saturday with my mom for a mani-pedi and they squeezed us right in. We both got the Deluxe Manicure and Spa Pedicure Plus. Both services were reasonably priced. The spa is small but clean and bright. The staff were friendly, and there's plenty of parking right outside. The only minor hiccup was a brief communication mix-up (English isn't everyone's first language here), but once I clearly restated that we wanted pedicures too, they immediately moved us into a booth, and took excellent care of us. Overall, a solid, no-fuss experience. Great for a quick, affordable pamper session. I would definitely return!
