    Magnetic color combo gel French tip set

    I love these nails!! I don't get my nails done often because I usually end up disappointed, but for the first time in a long time I left happy. Judy was very patient and attentive to detail. I also forgot breakfast before I came and I asked if I could go next door and grab some food. I left my phone and car keys behind and went and got a sandwich. Judy was so patient and understanding. She ate these nails upppp

    I have been coming to Judy off and on for 9 years. Her gel manicures last forever and are very well done. Pedicures are always nice too! Her shop is small and intimate, so be sure to make an appointment.

    Judy is wonderful and provided gorgeous nails for me as a walk in! As someone new to the mail care game, it was great to sit and chat while she worked. Gorgeous

    Judy is awesome! Luckily it wasn't busy, and I was able to get her (the owner). She handled my long cuticles perfectly. I don't like long nails, so she was able to get it nice and short, and clean cut. Thank you Judy!

    Judy's is amazing ! One of the best nail salons in La Mesa ! They are very fast, clean, and affordable ; All important factors for me . I've been getting pedicures here since I could walk lol . They always do a great job and the polish on my toes always last about a month ! It's always so relaxing when I get a chair massage while they're working on my toes and then the mini leg massage during the process is so refreshing . Also they clean the spa chairs in front of you, so you know it's sanitary . My manicures are on point ! I see Judy and my nails are always how I like them . She's great at them all, from square to stilletto shapes ! I'm a hairstylist, so my hands are frequently in the water and there's never been a problem with my nails lifting or my polish chipping . 5 stars ! Tip: Judy's is always busy ! I advise to call ahead or book an appt !

    Magnetic gel manicure! Extra $ because each nail has to be worked with individually, but worth it! So many options (:

    I love going to Judy's Nails! I started coming here during spring 2016, when I needed to get my nails done for my sorority formals. The location is great and super close if you are a coming from the San Diego State / SDSU area. The prices are also very decent, and a lot cheaper compared to other nail places I have tried around La Mesa. For gel nails, I usually only pay $25 and for the cheapest pedicure, I remember paying about $15. They also just got these new gel nail colors, which are magnetic and so pretty! But these magnetic gel nails do cost an extra $10, so instead of $25 for gel, they will charge $35. I got mine done in black and silver and it was so worth it! I got lots of compliments. (: They also have massage chairs while you get your pedicure done. Judy is super friendly and she will remember you by name. The rest of her staff are nice and friendly as well! I recommend making an appointment over the phone, they are usually busiest on the weekends. Judy will go above and beyond to make sure her customers are satisfied! An example: One time I got my nails here, I had an appointment at 6 pm. Mind you, they close at 7 pm. Another customer at the time came in late for her 5:30 pm appointment, so Judy apologized to me for the delay because of the other customer. Judy still took the time to do my gel nails as promised, and she ended up finishing my nails even though they were already closed!! I believe it was 7:30 pm by the time she finished. But I was grateful she did this for me. Thank you Judy and staff for always providing excellent service!

    First time coming here! It was great, not busy. And she did a good job cleaning the area before I sat down. She wore gloves and I loved that. Some nail techs don't do that. Definitely will be coming back. Prices are very well reasonable.

    Somehow whenever I get a pedicure here the polish and job stays so nice and lasts me a month or more!

Typically, my mani and pedi are done simultaneously by two different ladies. However, I noticed that only one lady was working on me while 4 others just paced around and chatted with each other. At first I thought they might have other clients with appointments coming in soon, but nearly an hour passed and they were still not attending other customers. What could have been a 40 minute visit took twice as long. $65 also felt excessive for regular polish, I've gotten gel polish for that amount at other salons. Customer service was also meh - she seemed annoyed when I asked to swap out the color after testing it on one nail and didn't recommend any additional services like at other salons. What was even more frustrating was that by the evening three of my nails were already chipped! Will not be returning, don't recommend!

I was very happy to see prices clearly listed at the front along with tip management information. Justin did my gelx manicure and it looks great! I asked for natural color and length. He was very focused and had wonderful attention to detail. If something was uncomfortable, he immediately paused to wait before he'd continue. I like the SPF50 application before using the curing light. I've not seen that before at a nail salon. It shows extra care for customers. Hana did my pedicure and she was really pleasant. She talked more than Justin and asked me a few questions. Every pedicure gets a bath bomb and I had lemon halves too. I picked green tea. It smelled amazing. The massage chair is big but has no cushion. It felt like I was sitting on a fold up chair. Even though they look and feel old and worn down the massage was really nice. It's a very nice salon...very clean. If you look around trying to find stuff then you will. You can leave tip as venmo, zelle, cash app, or cash. I would go back. It's close to home and I had a good time! Oh complimentary drink and snacks too!
