    Easter egg gel manicure
    Tara H.

    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!

    Stilletos ! Done by 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.

    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.

    I am so happy right now I could cry!…read more I'm 61 years old, and back in 1992 I got permanent eyebrow tattoos. Within just six months, they turned blue--and I've spent the last 33 years covering them up, feeling like there was no real solution. Thanks to today's technology (and some courage), I finally decided to look into having them removed. Honestly, I wasn't very hopeful. I didn't think anything could really help after all this time. But wow--just one laser treatment in, and I am already seeing real results. I've attached a before and after photo (the "after" is just a few hours post-treatment), and I can't stop staring at it. Dr. Ellyn is amazing--so knowledgeable, honest, and reassuring from the very start. She told me what to expect, didn't make any false promises, and treated me with such kindness and professionalism. I know I'll need a few more sessions, but for the first time in decades, I feel hopeful and excited. They also offer many other treatments for skin rejuvenation, so if you're thinking about refreshing your look, this is the place to go. Highly recommend. Thank you, Dr. Ellyn!

Usually the pedicure is done first than your manicure so by the time your nails are done so are your feet. And not being able to enjoy the experience of being able to just sit without crossing my arms over for the manicure.

    I'm a ClassPass client nearing my monthly renewal, and this experience made my decision for me…read more Due to a death in my immediate family, I had to leave the state unexpectedly. Rather than lose 40 credits (~$80), I booked a facial for my wife. Yes, ClassPass credits are typically non-transferable--but this was an obvious situation where a little basic human judgment should have applied. My wife showed up, explained everything, and was turned away--despite the appointment being on their books. They refused the service and still kept the credits. No service rendered, no flexibility offered, no attempt to do the right thing. That tells me everything I need to know. This is a business that values squeezing $80 out of a customer over showing even minimal decency. Short-sighted, tone-deaf, and not the kind of people I'll ever do business with again. Enjoy the $80. Karma has a way of keeping score. Follow-Up: I received a response from the owner attempting to justify what happened, but it completely missed the facts. This wasn't a case of someone trying to misuse credentials in a typical sense--it was a one-on-one appointment that was already booked, paid for with credits, and ultimately went unused. My wife showed up, explained the situation clearly, and was still turned away. No service was provided, yet the credits were kept. Comparing this to standard "no sharing accounts" policies is a weak and inaccurate analogy. This situation called for basic judgment and a small amount of flexibility--neither of which was shown. The owner's response only reinforces my original impression: this business is more focused on rigid policies and protecting a minor dollar amount than on treating people reasonably, even under exceptional circumstances. That tells me everything I need to know
