Great nail salon! Work fast and very neatly. Highly recommended if you want to have well manicured hands and toes!

So my usual nail place was busy and I really needed to get my nails done so I went down the street to Forever Nails and I wish I hadn't. There was no customers in the salon which should have been my first warning sign. They did start my nails right away, but the guy took an HOUR AND 40 MINUTES to do my nails. It should have taken an hour tops. And, as you can see in my pictures he cut my skin. He kept making excuses saying "today is not my day." Nah, sorry not an excuse for a poor job. He kept saying if I wanted to come back he would fix them for free. So he knew he did not do a good job. But I won't be coming back. No thanks. read more

Nathan will be my go to next time. He gives the best massages and truly cares about his clients. I will be back.

I've been to Forever Nails three times...each time I have seen Kathy for my gel manicure...and each time my polish has lasted 3+ weeks! It's a bit of drive from home but well worth the trip. read more

People are nice here but seem to be in a rush.I have been here about three times & really wanted to like this place.I should of stuck to a gel manicure, I got acrylic pink clear nails and they look rough. One of the nails isn't even filled in all the way. Half of them are crooked and I asked them to fix it but it looked the same after it was "fixed". Nail tech who did them was also very rough and kept pulling and tugging at my fingers in ways that I have never experienced before. Won't be going back. read more

I guess I had high expectations after reading all of the great reviews. I drove over tonight in dire need of a new place in Vista for my go to Mani/pedi's. I arrived at 6:15pm only to find them lights off, business closed. Despite both the posted hours here on Yelp and clearly stated on the shop of being 9am to 7pm! This is one of the biggest pet peeves that I have, businesses that don't maintain their posted hours. If there had been a sign indicating they had closed early due to a special occasion or due to a vacation, it wouldn't have been as disheartening. Guess I'm still on the hunt for North County's go to! read more

Forever Nails - Closed despite posted hours stating open until 7pm - Nail Salons Near Me - Vista, California

I have been searching for a good nail tech since I moved back up to North county and it's been a struggle because I'm very picky. ROSE!!! I love you. Rose is a fantastic nail tech and really nice, this is seriously the best set I've ever had the inside is pretty small but nice and clean, coming back for sure. read more

I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. Staff were really friendly. Unfortunately, my gel manicure only lasted me 3 days. Because of this, I won't be coming back. read more

This is a ZERO star nail salon. The reviews are mixed and inconsistent because they aren't reliable reviews. I went to my first two favorite nail salons, but they were very busy and I did not want to wait so I found Forever Nails via Yelp. I should have waited. I wasted my time and money. And tomorrow I will have to spend more time/money to have them done properly. I wouldn't be writing this review had I just waited... THE worst nail salon by far. Their nail-polish selection is pretty limited AND if you are actually lucky to finally find a decent color, it's more than likely dried out or nearly empty. So you end up settling for a color that you don't really want. My gel manicure was so thick and the nail-polish was on my fingers, despite the nail technician's hurried attempts to "clean" them. The nail salon is also hot/stuffy and there is noticeable dust and dirt throughout. Look at the baseboards, they are coated with nail debris/remnants. I will NOT return. read more

Love everyone here always friendly always available best coffee and service is A+ and prices r fair

Great service! I love how well they accommodated me! I live in esco but will definitely drive here every 2 weeks. My usual place was booked so randomly chose this place and beats my usual by far. Great staff! Super friendly! read more

This is my spot, Doung and Kim are fantastic and always make every visit a fun and welcoming experience. Doung does my gel and acrylics every time and I've never had better nails. I'm really picky. His technique insures thin, narrow, natural acrylics that are basically impossible to get just walking in any random place. I experiment with different shapes, almond, coffin, etc. and with different trends like negative space, color changing and they're always up to date and able to achieve any request. This is a nail salon, they are sales people as well as artists, know what you want and speak up. The entire team cares about their customers and the quality of work that they do and if you express your needs or concerns they do everything in their power to make sure you leave happy. read more

I am still working so having a salon that keeps their appointment times is important to me. This salon does not. Walkins are accepted and often trump appointment times. Also, they will not do a manicure and pedicure at the same time so that means even more time in the shop. Sometimes one person does a manicure, then you have to wait for someone else to do a pedicure. This is not a shop for working people. read more

very impressed! I am here from the East Coast visiting my mom and I have tried a few in the last few months and not really been that thrilled, until this one. The most amazing pedicure with such a. good massage. everything looks great. I will be back for sure. :-). read more

Just left Forever nails...have been a customer there for years off and on. I was shocked when I walked in. The place has look, fresh paint, new spa chairs, new nail stations and lots of new nail colors. Possibly even new owners. Of course price has gone up, but comparable to other places. I'm pleased with the care and time that they took. The young man who did my pedicure was great and my new dip nails look fantastic. Girl did a wonderful job. Definitely will be returning there again and again. Was even able to book my next appointment. I strongly recommend it. read more

I've been coming to this salon for five years. Forever Nails is under new management but still a top salon. Rose is amazing. Lon is amazing. Both are kind and very professional. They use top quality products. I've only had to wait once after making an appointment while Rose finished up with a customer. If someone is looking for a clean, sanitary facility, this is your place. read more

Kim is the best. I've been getting my nails done here every three weeks for years. She has all the best colors, chrome nails, and if you bring in a picture of what you want done she will do a great job replicating it. I came here for the first time, because I lived around the corner. Now I commute here from Encinitas. Great customer service. Recommend making an appointment if you can, but they always take walk ins. read more

Every time I go!!! They just get sweeter and funnier...and I love how gentle they are with my natural nails. They take off my gel and put on gels so delicate that it keeps them strong. The décor is simple but very clean. No dust or weird hanging plants and crap. Sorta a mom and pop family run shop that's been in business for 20 years. Next to the Sub Way and Dairy Queen. She does this special gel I can't find anywhere that fades out at the tips. Temperature sensitive. She keeps it under lock and key....ask for it from Darci.... read more

Just an updated review because of the new owners.. who I also love!!! David is amazing and I will never trust anyone else with my nails. He knows exactly what I want and always shows me the newest trends. These prices are unbeatable! Started coming here for just regular gel polish but ended up going with acrylics because it was just a lot cheaper. Definitely recommend ! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The first time I went was great. Don did my nails and fixed a hack job from my old shop. Even called in Kim to do chrome for me since I was new and wanted it done. I feel that I paid a fair price. Went back a 2nd time, and I guess it was Kim and Don's day off. Some other lady fix my fill and repair nail, and it was TERRIBLE. Lumpy and uneven, didn't clean up the shape of my coffin nails, and left the repair nail as a square ! Now, I'm licensed myself and could see all this going down wrong. To top it all, I paid $24 plus tip. Not sure how that price was reached, since their menu stated that a fill is $13.99 and a repair is $2.99, and I literally only let her put clear regular nail polish on (I was going to design them myself. ) I will make sure I request Don or Kim, because I don't want to waste my hard earned money !! Edit: the nail she repaired just broke !!! It literally was so thin that it could not survive a gel removal!!! I'm really pissed right now. 1 week, and I need the same nail fixed ! read more

I dont understand how this place has five stars, literally the worst full set i have ever got, the guy didnt take time to make sure the tips fit my nail bed well so end result is very ugly, im upset i paid, and when i brought the problem up to him he said it was because i had a bad nail? WTF??? anyways i now need to waste more money getting them fixed, i specifically told him what i wanted and he assured me that the way he was going to do it was better. I guess i need to be more assertive. I ADVISE YOU TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. 25 bucks Ok this is an edit: I went back to the forever nails and i talked to the guy that did my nails and he apologized for doing shotty work, he offered to do them again, i asked for my money back and he gave it to me i said thank you and he was nice about it. I am happy he gave me my money back. Still wont be back. read more

I have a mixed review on this place. When I first came in they tried drawing my attention to a certain gel color palette that didn't have the colors i wanted. I wanted more of the nude/pale colors. I picked a very light pink that looks almost white. The lady tried bringing me a color that was almost bright pink convincing me it was the same one. I let it go and chose a light peach color instead. Yet again the lady came over with the "peach color" bottle and the color was bright coral. Still both of them tried convincing me "oh the sun changes the colors on the palettes", "it'll look really good on your skin". I have been getting my acrylics done for over 10 years now and have never had a pale color magically be bright in polish, usually the opposite once it's painted on. Instead of trying to lie to me and convince me Otherwise I would've rather them just say they didn't have the colors i was looking for. It was really frustrating. Other than that the man who did my nails was sweet and he did a good job on the shape of my coffin nails. I definitely won't be going back though. read more

I came here asking for French tip squoval shape nails. I left with manicure looking nails. As soon as I noticed the shape I wanted to walk out of that nail salon. He did a horrible job, he was also in a hurry to get to another client. I am very disappointed that I payed $30 dollars on this crap. I will NOT be coming here ever again. I think his name was David. I rate this -0 stars read more

Honestly won't be coming back. Paid 43$ for uneven nails. Wasn't given the best treatment to my nails. Over charged. When I asked about the charge for my nails he said any longer would've been 8$ and that's bullshit lol I won't come back for short ass uneven nails. I always get my nails done long, these were not the length I asked for. I won't make a scene in store, but you guys need to care more while doing nails and focus on what the customer asked for. Never again. read more

Will not be back again! They will tell you over the phone that they are not busy and quote you a low price to get you in there. You show up to a busy salon and then charged extra for things that should absolutely be included.
