    Honestly by far the worst nail salons there is. I came for a French tip pedicure. The service was well and they were polite. It don't look like they wash their utensils, they don't have a proper spa (chair and a bucket) and I was just turned off. If your looking for a luxury experience don't come here. Obviously

    Came in for a quick manicure while my son trained at a boxing gym a block away. May did an amazing job cleaning up my cuticles and with the gel polish. Will be coming back for a pedicure next time!

    Came in as a walk in and Loved how my nails came out such a beautiful job thank you very much! Good pricing also. I will recommend this nail salon in the area the Ladies here are very nice.

    Trust the process!! Even though it is kinda cheap here the nails are worth $80 nails. I've been to many nail salons and I usually go to an expensive one in Oceanside but this one has outdone that one. My nail tech made sure my nails were perfect! Definitely recommend!!

    Great hole in the wall nail salon. Very small location but they're reasonably fast with customers. I wanted to get long coffin nails but I was doubtful if they'd be able to do that. I wasn't disappointed. Kim did a wonderful job with my full set. I also got a pedicure and the other lady did a great job with my feet. She even helped relieve my in grown toe nails. I highly recommend this place. Cheap and pretty good quality. The gel on my fingernails is a lil see through but oh well. Not the cleanest or most luxurious place but gets the job done

    I love this place, this is my second time going and they make me feel so welcomed! Helen did a spectacular job on the design and length of French tips I wanted, I start a new job tomorrow and I am required to type I have to keep my nails very short, the shape and length is very comfortable and the sequin design is so cute. For the amazing work this nail salon provides you cannot beat there price, I will definitely be returning!

    Mani w/ air bubbles
    Jackey N.

    Horrible place! Just because you have customers waiting doesn't mean you should rush with the customer you're serving. I went in for a mani and pedi. The lady that did my pedi did it in such a rush. And the lady that did my nails didn't do a good job. Air bubbles on my nails and then nails were not completely filled. I sat and waited for my nails to dry but felt rushed out because they had other customers. Oh and $1 extra charge if you use card. Hole in the wall place....hole in the wall service....never again!

    Christmas is coming to town

    All I can say is PERFECT. Good price, best service and strong skills. I come here monthly since my nails last really long and it never come off. Really Recommend

    this was taken 5 minutes after i left the salon.. air bubbles, streaks.. i could have done a better job myself.

    Price= $18 for mani/pedi Polish selection = 3/10 Pedi = How difficult is it to cut toe nails? Mine look like they were cut by an 8 year old. Mani = look at the picture I posted. I had to ask her to redo two of them, and after i left and the nails dried I noticed air bubbles and little streaks. I guess you get what you pay for. Never coming back here again.

    Glittery red all festive for the holidays...

    I recently discovered this nail shop from a fellow coworker. She always comes to work with the craziest nails out of anyone I know, til finally, I asked her who she went to. She gave me Helen's card at Evon Nails and the rest is history... This place is perfect for my tastes. She can do awesome nail designs, without charging an arm and a leg for them. She blings out my nails when I am in the mood, or tones it down with just a french tip when I'm trying to keep it professional. More than anything, she is a sweetheart. Most ladies I have gone to, act like you are an inconvenience. Since I've made the switch a couple of months ago I haven't gone anywhere else. The neighborhood may not exactly be posh enough for some, but I like it that way. I can run in and grab a Four Loko at the liquor store and get my nails did all in one block.

    Applying Silver lining...
    Lei S.

    WOW. Been trying to remember the name of this place... I just found their business card. I just had to write a review because the impression this place left on me will last forever. Firstly, I was looking for a nail salon around city heights to take my step-sister for pedicures. Choices were limited. And everywhere we went had nothing that resembled a pedicure station. Finally I consulted trusty Yelp. And there was Brianna S. singing Evon's praises. I called to get confirmation that they did in fact do pedi's. Upon arriving we were received by the warmest gentleman who ushered us in like we were old friends. I was very skeptical as there were again, no pedicure stations. But he spun two mani station chairs facing out and insisted we sit. I was slightly confused till this elderly woman came out carrying a plastic basin full of hot soapy water. Wow. How could I be so spoiled as to assume everyone in the business has comfy chairs that massage away the stress while your feet soak in a jacuzzi tub filled with bubbles? I would enjoy this experience! (I decided optimistically) It was new; and new is exciting. That is until she started cleaning my toe nails... yee-ow! However, in hindsight, I can tell you I have never had such a thorough cleaning, nor have my toes looked prettier. The lovely man's wife Helen came in around that time to do my sister's nails. She was so wonderfully kind. She and her husband were just the sweetest people I have ever met. I told them how I found them, and introduced them to yelp. I read them the only review they have (till now). Helen was so touched and overwhelmed by the idea that she would have never known about yelp had it not been for the divine intervention that lead me there, that she began to cry. Helen and her husband were so In awe of the idea of reviews that they decided to give my sis the works (see photos). They definitely rock their own techniques, but Helen is an artiste! Ask for her if your in. The other woman was also very sweet, but perhaps because she is older, she definitely doesn't always "see" the boundary between your skin and your nail when painting. In any event the kindness and warmth flowing from these people were nothing short of Christ-like. Because of the language barrier, there were a lot of "you're both so nice" responded by "YOU so nice!" exchanges and hugs all around at the end (upon their insistence). Because of the love, I give it 4 stars. But note that you will feel like you have just been transported to a less ornate time, likely a 3rd world country, so according to your own standards the star factor might be quite a bit less. If your from NY like me, you're probably expecting facilities you're more likely to find in Coronado. But if you want true service, these people do not disappoint. They will treat you like family. And that is an experience worth having.

    A few remnants of polish around the edges & she didn't reshape my nails, but overall, can't complain for my fill only being $10!
    Sunnie K.

    Pros: Nice, older lady did my nails. Only $10 for acrylic fill with polish. Down the street from my house. Cons: Long wait due to it being a tiny hole in the wall with only 3 tables. Slow service. Small and cheap polish selection. Pretty sure they don't sanitize their tools. Be careful! I would come here again because of the price and its close proximity to my house, but in the mean time, I'm going to keep an eye open for any infections or lesions that may appear on or around my nail bed.

However, because I was the last appointment of the day at 5:30, the service felt rushed this time. I brought in a reference photo, and while the general color palette was similar, the final result did not closely match the inspiration. The marble effect looked more uneven and muddled than the soft, blended look shown in the reference, and the gold accents felt less intentional. Given that this salon is capable of detailed nail art, this result was disappointing. Also, the cuticles were not pushed back or trimmed, which made the nails look grown out immediately. The photos provided were taken the same day, yet the set already looks a week old. The space itself is beautiful, with luxury pedicure chairs and white marble throughout. Unfortunately, the pedicure experience did not match the setting. The massage portion consisted mainly of lotion being applied to my shins, and the callus remover was applied and then immediately rinsed off in the water. The actual removal took only about five to six seconds. While I do not have heavy calluses, the exfoliation was not done thoroughly or in the right areas, and there is still noticeable buildup. I really want to love this place and continue coming back, as their nail art quality can be excellent. That said, I may need to find a salon that either charges more for more detailed pedicure services or offers later appointments to avoid feeling rushed.

    So I posted a review earlier when I got my nails done I thought it was absolutely amazing he did a…read morereally good job on my first set which is the gold and flowered nails! But when I went in there yesterday we've had an appointment at 3 PM and we got there exactly at 3 PM there was two other ladies in there and I feel that he should've told them that he had appointments at 3o'clock but he kept going back-and-forth between these two ladies my daughter and myself and the two ladies twice went outside and took a 15 to 20 minutes pot smoking break so in The end the nails were not done as good as before I wanted to flower design and I had asked him I said how long are you gonna be with those ladies more and he said 20 minutes their remark was like really! Excuse me but we had an appointment and I feel that he could've said look I can do one of use but I have two people coming in at 3 PM, but instead he tried to take care of everybody, and he did as you can see the crappy ass job on my nails this time... I didn't see it when it was dark because that's what time we left but today in the daylight they are just not good!!! I thought OK this is Kim's old nail shop maybe just maybe this is going to be good shop again! But after yesterday I really need to find me a nail shop that is going to do a really good job and not try to rush between four or five people! And when we set up a reservation to come in I feel that he should've just finished with the one lady's nails and then did ours but instead he continued on to do theirs and they had a little bit of an attitude with us and I really don't care! You should've made yourself an appointment also! And when I looked at my toenails when she did my pedicure she forgot to put the topcoat on! She was in a rush to get out of there also! I just think maybe I misJudged this mail so take -over! I guess I'm gonna look for someone that can do designs because I really wanted flowers on my nails but I also need somebody who's going to send out all the little dips in my nails right now because there are so many dips! Well I guess it was good while it lasted! And the reason why I gave it four stars is because I like the way he did my nails the first time and my pedicure the first time

    love this place. been going here for a year. Kim is my girl! Go to her if you get acrylics.read more

My daughter came in for a full acrylic set with a clear reference photo of what she wanted. Instead of being guided or advised, she was repeatedly pressured into a design she explicitly said she did not want. When she asked for smaller gems, she was told "no" multiple times. The final result looks nothing like the reference photo she brought in. The execution is uneven, bulky, and novice in quality, yet she was charged $90, which is well above the San Diego average for this level of work. The pricing reflects expert-level craftsmanship; the result does not. To make matters worse, she was also charged an additional $3 ATM fee, which was not disclosed upfront. This experience felt like a young client being talked over, upsold, and overcharged without regard for consent or satisfaction. That is not acceptable. I hope the owners take this feedback seriously, especially when servicing younger clients who may feel uncomfortable advocating for themselves. I will be going to The Little Nail Shop in Mission Valley to have the work repaired tomorrow. Casper always makes sure the work is done to the client's satisfaction.

Also when I found this shop I thought it had just opened because of how horribly decorated, dirty, and dingy it looked. But I realized it's because they don't take pride in their work or their work space! NEVER GO HERE trust me if you want quality work that's worth your money go somewhere else!! I went here for a while because it was down the street from my house and cheaper let's be honest. But their horrible attitudes, lack of attention to detail, and lack of cleanliness makes it sooooo not worth it.
