I was blown away by the service here! Judy is absolutely spectacular. I walked in on Monday with no appointment for a mani pedi and I was taken care of within minutes. Judy was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Thanks for being so kind! read more

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 read more

Great little spot tucked away a strip mall. Staff is friendly and courteous, prices are average. They do a thorough job on pedicures. A knock of a star just because it's not really equipped to handle more than a few people at a time. Still great small business read more

Great pedicure every time!! Been going here for years! Manicures are also good. Nice people and easy parking.

Judy is absolutely amazing! All i can say is WOW. My nails turned out perfect for graduation. read more

Was looking for a local spot in my new neighborhood and found this one in the close radius. The customer service was great -- Ms. Judy herself was very kind, but unfortunately the woman that did my pedicure did a poor job. I went home to realize all my toe nails were cut crooked. I'm not one to say anything anyways but I don't see myself going back again. read more

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! read more

My wife has been getting manicures and pedicures for years now and thanks to me....she found Judy! I was renting next door to Judy's back then and I mentioned her place and now it's been decades! Well, I am a senior now and it's not that easy to take care of my own grooming and I made the plunge.....and had the whole thing.....'cept the nail polish! Judy back then was a very nice person, and still is, and now I know personally that her work is great too! She's conscientious, personable and it was actually a comfortable and enjoyable experience!! So, you guys out there, man up and give it a try!!! It beats trying to twist, bend and turn yourself into a pretzel to do your own......and I know!! By the way guys, she massages your feet and hands during the process and you feel good afterwards and yes, you still feel like a man! read more

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 ! read more

Went to Judy for the first time today for pedicure and full set with silk wraps. She's so kind and patient and worked a miracle on my extremely damaged and short, thin, brittle nails. I feel so lucky to have found Judy because it is RARE to find a nail place that will do silk wraps. Judy's shop has been open for 24 years and her experience with nails is even longer than that. She's a total pro and extremely detailed oriented. She took extra time and care to make sure I walked out with a strong set of nails that will last. I will continue to visit her for fills and am confident my nails will be repaired under her care. Pedicure was perfect--I'm 37 wks pregnant and haven't been able to touch my feet for awhile and also haven't gotten a pedicure since before the pandemic. My feet feel nice and soft and rejuvenated :) Thanks Judy! read more

Judy has 30+ years of experience doing nails, and it shows! Her manicure was very masterful and impressive. Her technique is both careful yet fast & efficient. It's a small salon, so next time I will try to make an appointment. I was lucky to have no wait when I came in as a walk-in for my mani-pedi, because there were several calls to make appointments with Judy during my manicure. My spa pedicure was super relaxing - loved the massage chair! I am a novice at spa treatments, and the staff was accommodating and patient with me. Since my visit, I am pleasantly surprised at how long my mani-pedi lasted afterwards. The color selection is beautiful and my visit was extremely comfortable. Reasonably priced for the quality! A definite recommend! read more

Judy did amazing on my nails. I found her this morning and was able to get an appointment right away! She's very sweet and made sure I was well taken care of. They have a great selection of colors and it's a nice environment to be in. Thank you Judy taking care of me and making sure my nails look nice for my Christmas party! read more

Great spot!! We met Judy and she was super nice. We came in for pedicures and were not disappointed. I will be sure to revisit next time I am in the area. read more

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! read more

If your looking for a place to be pampered then here is your place. The prices are way cheaper than other nail salons and I feel like here they spend way more time on you. I come here to get my pedicures because I can just relax and they really take their time massaging your feet and making you feel comfortable. For a basic pedicure it's $15. I suggest coming during a time when they are not busy. It's a pretty small salon so they don't have many stations. You can call ahead and make reservations. Judy is great too, she really makes you feel comfortable. Most places just send you on your way but she likes to connect with her customers and acknowledges them by their name. read more

It's getting dang hard to reach the ole toenails as we get older. My H noticed this place a few months ago when we were eating at Dylan's Diner, sadly now closed. He used to get the kid to trim his toesies in exchange for whatever it was she currently wanted but she's off to an institution of higher learning now and the situation was getting desperate. He decided to go in and give this place a try. For Pedicure only (he declined the offer of nail polish) it was $14.99 before tip. The results were admirable, I have to say, after seeing the results for myself. His toeses were downright purty, well trimmed and neat. He said they did a great job and he was very pleased. Judy herself was the owner/operator who did the deed so well. He said she and her employee were both cheerful and friendly and chitchatted with him the whole time. They sloughed off the callouses and did the detail work on the nails so he should be all set for awhile and will go back as needed. Now that his feet look better than mine (or not--I've got little size 5 1/2 feet versus his big size 13's!) I may have to go in there and get my own pedicure. (PS I know I'm not the one who went here but he's not on Yelp, or even the computer, and asked me to write a review since he was so happy with the service) read more

Absolutly the best pedicure ever! Very professional, clean and highly skilled. Far exceeded my expectations! read more

I LOVE Judy's Nails. I have no idea what Sandra C, is talking about as I've Received nothing but amazing service from Judy's Nails. Not only are they extremely friendly, and affordable but, their place of business is very clean. Judy's nails really cares about providing quality service and making sure that their clients are happy. It's nice to walk in and be greeted with an immediate smile. This Week will be my third time there. I've even brought my cousin, who I will be taking back with me again in 2 weeks. Whether you're a walk in or a regular client Judy will make sure you leave satisfied. I highly recommended Judy's Nails. read more

Judy is the best manicurist I've ever experienced. She's been doing nails for over 30 yrs and is the utmost perfectionist. My nails look so real, it's crazy, my cousins and daughter couldn't believe they weren't. Thank you, Judy! Went back today for fills and a pedicure by Cindy, 5 !!! Cannot believe how good my feet feel & look, thank you!! read more

Judy and her assistant always do a good job for me. It is best to make an appointment before hand rather than walking in so you'll be assured to not have to wait. My pedicure is going on 3 weeks now and still looks good. I've also tried acrylic nails here and she did a good job. read more

I still visit Judy's faithfully. I met Nancy today who also offers massages. I had THE BEST MASSAGE. this was just for my pedicure. I will definitely be back for a total body massage. And for $65 for an hour? You can't beat that!! I lucked out--Nancy was free after my mani & pedi. Had a 15 min massage. She has the best hands! I haven't had a good massage like that in a long time. This was a legit massage with oil and all. And the best part is that she will towel off the oil after! I ant wait for the full body massage. Thank you Nancy! read more

Judy's Nails La Mesa - Judy's is offering facials for $25!! - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

Came in for a mani pedi and was very happy with the results. Will definitely be coming in regularly.

After driving by this place numerous times on my commute to work, I decided to give this place a go. I had made an appointment a day ahead for my boyfriend and I for the ultimate spa pedicure this past weekend. When we arrived, the ladies were so very kind. I desperately wanted to love LOVE this place, however it was lacking. Everything was pleasant until my toes were painted that I felt them rushing me out. My polish was not properly dry but the lady tending to my pedicure insisted putting my sandals on, which smudged my polish, and ushered me out. On top of that, the salon is understaffed so my poor boyfriend had his pedicure stopped countless times so Judy could tend to phone calls or customers walking in. It irked me a little bit, but she does have a business to run. After our pedicure, my boyfriend also pointed out the dead skin that was still loosely hanging off his foot and I noticed little red bumps all over my legs where they had applied product. It's pretty clear that you get what you pay for here. Though they are better priced compared to the rest of San Diego, be wary. I think I'll stick to my normal nail place. read more

Judy is really great. I go here with my mom all the time and have gotten all their spa pedicure packages and they are so relaxing

Just had my first pedicure since virus restrictions. It was wonderful. The salon is following all rules and very clean. Highly recommend you visit. It definitely brought me some happiness. read more

My nails came out so good after Judy took care of them! She took her time to ensure they were perfect! I'm glad I found her!

Three words sum up this shop: CLEAN, PERSONABLE, CHEAP! I'd like to start by saying I am a very picky person when it comes to ....well anything really! I have been to about 4 nail salons in the past 16yrs. (Judys being my 4th) Tranies which is close by, I have went to her for years! Great people, very personable, although I enjoy my time with her, her prices started to rise; and in this day in age, lets face it we are all looking for more bang for your buck, BUT still quality...am I right? So with all this being said...... I found JUDY on yelp.....thought Ok, lets give this place a shot.....well much to my amazement all the reviews are spot on and consistent! Judy and Linda are super friendly, funny and personable. I enjoy building a relationship with my manicurists since I will be seeing them every 3 weeks for....well.....years! Ok lets wrap this review up with key points here: *Clean *Friendly---they SPEAK English well *Accommodating *Reasonably priced *thorough *small cute shop This is no massive factory of chairs and table shop! This is a quaint 2 person shop! Pedis $15 (spa-basic) Manis $10.00 (basic) you can upgrade to deluxe manis and pedis with include paraffin and scrubs, etc! A nice touch when you feel like treating yourself for a great price! Call make your appt...you'll be happy you did! Already have my follow-up in three weeks! Thanks Judy see you soon! read more

Judy is seriously the nicest person you will ever meet. I came here on a mission to find a new salon close to my new house. I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a shot. Its a small location and they did not have a huge selection of shellac colors but I didn't care. Judy made me feel right at home and I will be coming back soon. I just got a regular manicure since she didn't have the shellac color I wanted. She did a great job and it was soooo cheap. $15 total including removing my old shellac. read more

My girlfriend and I went here to get a mani/pedi because we saw the good reviews. It's a small but cozy place and all of the ladies working there were super sweet and welcoming. Ok so I have more negatives than positives about this place. When asking for a manicure we both said we wanted the European Deluxe spa(I think that's what it is called, it's the most expensive manicure on their menu), pointed to it, and after talking about it for like 5 min we confirmed and both were at desk now for the manicure. So half way through they make me put my hand in wax, as this was happening I was confused because I have never had any fancy type salon mani/pedi done before so I assumed it was normal. My girlfriend and I read the menu on the wall and saw that wax isn't part of the spa package we chose. So we just dealt with it because it was a few bucks cheaper. Then we got our nails painted, so I want to first say that I have never had someone use that larger brush and use the acetone to clear off any of the nail polish that was on my skin.. Usually they use their own nail to fix any mistake they may have made, but here both of the girls used the acetone brush. With that being said our polish came out HORRIBLE! The worst ever from a nail salon, I am awful at painting my own nails and I have done a better job than what we ended up with. A couple days later I notice my skin around my nails is peeling/shredding and is painful, I have had to put coconut oil on them daily to help heal them.(still not back to normal). My girlfriend told me today that her nails are all tearing off, she rarely has even one tear off. So we know something had to do with the wax maybe or something else that was used at this place. My toe nail polish is also already coming off, it usually lasts a month or so at the least. So bummed about that. I'm giving this place 3 stars ONLY because the owner was such a sweet heart and they did do a good job of cleaning up our cuticles. read more

Judy's Nails La Mesa - This was 1 day after my manicure.. Nail polish didn't even last :( - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

I just got back from my first visit to Judy's nails and I am happy to say that my experience was great! The staff was friendly and attentive and my nails turned out fantastic. Although the salon is small, it is clean and pleasant. I was offered a cold bottle of water to help beat the summer heat and was encouraged to close my eyes and relax. The only reason I didn't give my experience five stars is because I like to get my nails done with glitter tips and there were only five options to choose from. There were also no samples of the colors so I had to pretty much just guess what it would look like once on my nails. Luckily, the color I picked turned out to be a really soft and pretty light pink, but I like to change it up every time. Hopefully they invest in some more glitter colors soon because I really want to make this place my main nail spot! read more
