Made them look exactly like the picture I showed her
Claudia R.

Quincy is my go to person every single time I make an appointment. She's amazing and always makes sure that my nails are perfect. My nails last forever and they look beautiful every time.

Love the 3 design
Marissa M.

Been here a couple times and both were great. This last time tho I was cut on my cuticle it's ok, just hope it doesn't happen again :\ Appreciate the complimentary beverage, the service is wonderful and they have TV so you have something to watch. This past time I got a cute heart design, pedi and eyebrow wax. All very reasonable priced. Think this is my new fav place. Also there's parking and walk in was easy today a Wed at 3 pm. Thank you Tony (mani), Tu (pedi) and Quincy (eyebrows)! :)

Aylas HANDSCULPTED clover for my beautiful nail
Nikki N.

Ayla is my go to nail tech for the last 3 years because no matter the design she always helps me bring to life with her skill. She does full sets faster than anyone i know but with great precision. She never disappoints me and i couldnt recommend Ayla enough to any future or present clients. my nails last months with no issue and with such tiny details! They offer free refreshments which helps me enjoy my experience even more during a hot day. They truly cater to your needs and make you feel heard when u express what u want! I never regret leaving the nail salon when i book with Ayla so please give her a chance!

One day later. Disgusting. The nail lifted because it was improperly done.

Would not recommend. The women and girls that work here are rude, bad attitude, and extremely racist. As a black woman I don't get treated with the same level of care and respect as the white women. It's very strange because we're equally paying for the same service and the same amount but these women clearly don't like servicing women of color. If you are a black woman I would not go to this business ever. After 4 times of being mistreated here I will never go back even though I live so close. Vibe is bad! Also two of my nails lifted after ONE DAY. She Didn't do the gel x correctly. She was so rude and looked like she hated her job. They do the bare minimum when you are black and you have to ask them many times to do it nicely.

I've been coming here for a couple of months now and so far I can say that they do a great job. Especially Quincy. she is talented and friendly.

Quincy was my nail tech today and she killed it. Very time efficient, very professional, and super sweet. I got a full set gel x manicure with chrome, aura design, gems, and some hand painted details. I didn't have an appointment but they took me right away! Thanks Quincy!

I wouldn't recommend this salon, unfortunately this was my first and last time going. The quality of my acrylic fill wasn't great, there were flies buzzing around the room, and to top it all off they added a crazy $10 "shape change" charge. I'm pretty easygoing and don't expect perfection from the average salon, but I had to write this review. To be honest, the $10 extra charge is what really left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't realize they added it until I had already left, although I did think the $57 price was steep for a basic acrylic fill when I paid. I'm just not a confrontational person, so I was nervous to say anything at the register. When I checked the receipt later I was so surprised to see the extra charge. As if I really have to explain the absurdity of a TEN DOLLAR "shape change" charge, I attached a photo of what my nails looked like when I came in (the pink ones). ALL THEY DID was cut my nails shorter. That's it. Also, when the tech first asked what I wanted, I said "I'll do shorter please" and she said "Okay same shape then?" and I said YES. Obviously it's pretty impossible to do coffin on such a short nail, so I was expecting it to be more square anyways, but come on, ten dollars for what?! Using a nail cutter?! I feel pretty robbed. Small side note, she was in a hurry pretty much the whole time. She cut my nails without showing me how far down the nail cutter was before cutting it, which resulted in my nails being shorter than I was wanting. Her rushing also just meant the polish was a little messy on the edges but that's minor I guess. All in all, save your money and go somewhere else that's cleaner and doesn't sneakily add ridiculous upcharges.

Gel fill

It's been a while since I've been here. They were able to squeeze me in for a last minute appt with Ayla. She did an amazing job on the shape and my design came out exactly the way I wanted it. Very friendly staff and they even offer mimosas!

I get acrylic  overlay on my real nails.

Been going here for at least a year. Sophie is fantastic. She is always professional and takes her time. My nails always look great.

rhonda s.

My daughter had an appointment and i needed my acrylic nails removed. They were able to take me also. The place was semi crowded but service was quick. They do honor appointments. But, if we didn't have an appointment , we would have still been seen timely. I relaxed and enjoyed my treatment with a mimosa. All I got was a manicure, but the attention and detail to my manicure was luxurious. My daughter had her manicure done by Tony and Tee did her pedicure. She was just as pleased as I was with my service. We will be back

Ayla always does so good on designs! I have been getting nails done by her almost 2 years now, always happy with her work

Good shape, not too thick (pet peeve) and thank god someone who finally knows how to do cuticles without ripping them to shreds
Melissa D.

I've been going here for pedicures the last year since making a move from Mission Hills to Carlsbad. Pedicures have been fine but I feel like that's standard for any modern nail salon. I get nervous when finding anyone to do my nails because I'm a stickler on shape, thickness and quality. I decided to book an appointment with Ayla because she had the most reviews I could find and I'm happy I did. She's sweet and did her best to nail down exactly what I want/like. The first go we did a natural nail using Gelx and while I see where it could work for some, it wasn't for me. Yesterday we went with the gel hybrid and I'm really loving it. I could tell she took extra time to make sure I loved them. Really happy I found my new girl and GoBahli.

Ayla and Emmi are AMAZING and I love their work so much. They encouraged me to switch from dip to hard gel and I haven't looked back. I was looking for ages for a great nail salon, and they nail it every time. Pic of my Christmas nails by Ayla!

I walked in to this salon and was able to snag the last appointment of the day thankfully!!…read more I was having a rough day and wanted to treat myself to a simple gel mani and regular pedi. The vibe in the salon was great! All of the ladies working in the shop were so fun and upbeat and chatty. The environment was great and it made me feel better after having a hard day. The salon interior is also clean and tidy. The gel mani was done by Tory. She is so detailed. I can tell she has very high standards for her work and is very skilled. She was precise and I noticed that she paid extra attention to cleaning up the gel with a brush to make sure it didn't get on my skin. Her attention to detail can be rare to find at other salons. I don't have pictures of my pedicure but it was okay - I didn't love how my nails were shaped but it was fine and the polish stayed on for a long time which was great. The pedicure was good overall. This was definitely the best nail salon I've tried in north county and I will have to come back another time.

So the manicure itself was actually okay, I am however used to more of an elongated pampering…read moreexperience when it comes to manicures. Especially when you're paying $55 for them. I will say the polish doesn't go completely to the edges of the nail, but it is what it is. She did a good job . The reason for the 3 stars is due to the customer service element. When I walked in the employees were whispering/talking amongst themselves about a client/coworker that was currently in the salon sitting directly behind me. I don't mind if you need to talk about something going on in the workplace, but that is hardly something to discuss directly in front of the client you are working on. I don't think i'll be going again, but don't let this review sway you, I hope you have a more positive experience!

My favorite nail bar in San Diego! I took a long break from doing my nails before finding Paint…read morenail bar. Other places I found were really toxic for my nails and well being. It's so nice to get your nails done in a place where they don't have to wear masks from the chemicals. I also love how nice they make you feel. They offer coffee, tea, mimosas and juices. They have luxury chairs. I 10/10 recommend!

So disappointed with the incompetent AI booking system and inability by the staff to problem solve…read more I called during business hours to book appts for me and my adult daughter. They didn't answer the phone and instead I received a text to make the appts. The AI could not understand I was trying to make 2 appts for 2 services each. Just basic manis and pedis. I gave up, called the next day and made the appts with a receptionist. She seemed confused as she was booking the appointments and I had to repeat the time I asked for multiple times to her. We confirmed everything twice by the end of the call. When we arrived for our appointments, they said they only had one appt on the books and could not accommodate another. The receptionist questioned whether I had actually made the two appts. and wanted to know who I spoke with. They were more accusatory than helpful. The receptionist stared at us blankly as she could not think of any other options to accommodate. It was not the experience I expected when talking with the person who made the appts. Now that I've read more reviews, I can see I'm not the only person who has problems with their scheduling in general. I had just wanted to spend a nice and relaxing day for my daughter and I, but it felt stressful right off the bat. Luckily the nail salon at the forum could take us, even if we didn't get drinks.
