Nail beds one day after manicure - right
K F.

I got a garden variety manicure at Kim's Nail & Lash in Sabre Springs yesterday. It was a good price and the technician was nice, but I don't think she was qualified to be doing nails. She did cuticle removal with a nail sander (no joke). As a result, three of my nail beds started bleeding. They are inflamed today - photos below. I removed the nail polish last night because the polish job was lumpy and my nail beds stung. I will not return here, but the salon has been in my neighborhood for a long time so I imagine I just got a new or inexperienced technician.

Classic manicure
Maria H.

The nail salon is fairly new and found it when I came to the AAA office next door. I came on a Saturday mid-afternoon and it was not busy at all. It's in a very suburban neighborhood, so unless you're coming to one of the establishments or live in the area it will probably never get busy. The staff is nice and their prices are lower based on what I've paid in the area. The service I wanted was the classic manicure and pedicure $48 and if you pay cash you get a discount. Minus 1 star because they do try to upsell you on their more expensive gel polish, but I brought my own OPI nail polish and I clearly said I wanted a classic and told them no on a gel manicure 2x. I get it, gel lasts longer, but if I'm not interested don't be pushy and tell it's not going to last 24 hours. So if you want a basic manicure and pedicure this place is it, as you get what you pay for. My manicure did not last 24 hours before it started chipping when compared to other places I have gone or when I do my own nails, my manicure w/regular polish usually lasts at least 2-3 days. Not sure if it's that they don't let the polish dry in between coats, too many coats, or the top nail coat. Also they ruined my sweats. Later in the day when I changed out of my clothes, I noticed lines of oil stains on both legs of the sweat pants, due to the improper removal of the oil used or way too much oil used for the massage. I've already tried to wash my sweats 2x since I got the service and the stains do not gone away. So also removing another star because my sweats are ruined. Im sure this place has potential, if they focus on providing a better quality for their services and the details. Unfortunately I won't be returning.

I booked online after finding Kim Nail Salon on yelp. Super easy to do and they were able to find my booking. Quality: 5/5 great experience GelX with Design (2 simple designs) costed $70 dollars (I picked out the colors and Kim was able to come up with some of her designs) Classic Pedicure with Gel: $60 (Should last me at least 1.5-2 months) Highly recommend this cute place~ All the Nail Technicians are fast and are quick to helping me out and I was out of there by 1.5 hours which is pretty good in my opinion. Will be coming back, thank you for a great service. Keep up the great work!

I needed to find a new nail place ASAP. Of course searched yelp and found this gem next to Nutmeg, also an added bonus! Long did a great job on my acrylics! You always know within the first few minutes the technique and talent is going to be great. The salon was neat and organized. This is my new go-to place! Love it!

I've been coming here for years. Check out my bday nails!!‍

These reviews have to be paid. I was definitely lured there because of the good reviews and pictures of the cute designs. I went in after work to update my nails to a valentines design, very minimal one just needed a heart in each nail. I asked before service if they could do it and said yes, they were taking long so they offered a pedicure, it wasn't busy like most salons either. I had closed shoes so I initially didn't come in for that. I regret saying yes because the lady hurt my toes so bad, I always get gel on my toes and have never had a problem removing gel and changing the color, this lady made my skin bleed of how much she was filing. I wish I would've taken the work day off to go to my usual lady. :( she's always very gentle and gives me a relaxing experience, that was not the case here, complimentary drink is also stated and never received it. I'm posting with the intent for businesses to say no if you can't provide what a client is requesting or offer a solution. I asked the lady if she could create a similar design and she was just not able to, I asked her for stickers or gems and she got up to look but came back with no ideas, I was open to suggestions and none were offered. I can't believe I paid that much for a mediocre job. I ended up coming with a full color nails all clumpy and thick, very disappointing and false advertising page here. She offered to come back the following day but couldn't because I have the event I was getting the nails done for the following day. I've included what I came in asking for and what I got. ( wanted that design with the color I chose) it's crazy to me that an establishment that is dedicated to that could not come up with a cuter design or something if mine wasn't their forte. I did not want to pay to be honest but did not know what to expect since I've never had this happen before and watched too many tik toks lol I don't want to be portrayed as I'm the one trying to dash or something. The service was truly not relaxing and far from amazing was expecting to come out of there wowed by creativity. Ivy agreed to do the job and did not deliver and admitted herself she didn't do a good job and didn't know why she wasn't able to draw the hearts. I don't remember the lady that did my pedicure but both were initially nice and welcoming. Pedicure lady I'm disappointed that she wasn't gentle and didn't want to do the cat eye gel, and ivy at the lack of suggestions and poor work. But anyways duly noted.

I can't recommend this place enough! Just got my first full set from them and it came out even better than I could've thought. I went with gel X and already it feels extremely safe and sturdy. Thank you so much to everyone here, you made my experience and 11 out of 10 will definitely be coming back!!

Great pedicure! The staff are very friendly and do quality work. Large selection of colors. Very clean.

Gel-x nails

Ivy has been my go-to technician. She's fun and gives good recommendations. Ivy always checks the health of my nails and gives suggestions before proceeding. She also has me check my nails to see if I like it before finishing. Not only are my nails pretty, they are also healthy. I'm always happy with my nails.

Less than a week later :/

Brazilian waxing experience with Shardonnay 0/10. I scheduled an appointment with Shardonnay for…read morethe first time because I'm new at San Diego. I read about her before booking the appointment and it said she was the employee with the most time in the company. However, her attitude was tremendously horrible. I have to clarify that I arrived on time to the place, but the girl at the lobby was attending another client and was giving her a full introduction about all the packages and promotions they have, and afterwards she proceeded to charge her for the service she had taken. The receptionist took around five to six minutes doing it, until I had to interrupt her and tell her that I had an appointment at 5:30 pm with Shardonnay. It is at that moment that she notified Shardonnay of my arrival. When Shardonnay received me, she had an extremely negative attitude with me, since from the moment she greeted me, she did not allow me to go to the bathroom (which I needed) and started giving me a lecture about punctuality, without even asking me or asking herself or asking receptionist girl, if I had arrived late or if something had happened at the reception. It was to the point that she was not even able to greet me, but very frustrated about her tight schedule, she basically started scolding me and telling me that the service was not going to be the best because she only had 8 minutes to attend me since she had another client after me and that I "had arrived late"... Now, it is important to clarify that if that had been the case, the place policies give a 8-minute window to the client to arrive and still receive a good service. However, she kept saying that the service wouldn't be the best. At first I stayed quiet, but after she kept literally blaming and scolding me, I told her to do her job, but that I did not agree with her attitude, cause of course she had a very bad attitude cause of her frustration. She kept arguing and arguing until I literally had to tell her "just do your job". Very shamelessly she tried not to attend me because she now felt that I was angry, thing that I did not allow her to do because I did not drive from Chula Vista to Miramar, 30 minutes, for her to cancel my appointment just because she was in a bad mood. I sat down and took my service. She did a Brazilian service in 5 minutes. It hurt a lot, of course, because she was already upset and also in a rush, so she was very rough when pulling the wax. Afterwards she realized her mistake and started apologized, to which I literally responded that she didn't have to, what she did was already done. I only made her aware that I arrived on time, the receptionist took time attending another client, and I paid the price for it. So she can keep the apologies and that for next time she learn the lesson and at least she can greet and say what she have to say in a proper way. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY NO, and especially not with her. She may have been working there for many years, but her service and customer attention is THE WORST. She could have gained a loyal client, but because of her rudeness she did not.

Will definitely return

Thank you Geeta!…read more Absolutely wonderful experience! I initially brought in my mother in law, but she informed me that it's not recommended that she get a facial so soon after an eye surgery. That alone speaks volumes! So I opted to go instead and get myself the homemade fruit facial. All the scrubs and masks are made from fruit that Geeta makes herself! Absolutely awesome for those who are looked for vegetarian options. She does use honey too which I'm sure she can sub out for the vegan options. She was very careful to make sure that I knew all the ingredients so I wouldn't worry about reactions if at all later. After my fabulous facial, I found out that waxing is her specialty, and got a wax too. Honestly so happy to find a nice little small business literally a 15 min walk from my house! Just a note, if you're looking for a spa like facial, this is not that. This is truly just skincare. Not massaging hands and feet like they do at spas. I don't mind that but if you're looking to be pampered in luxury go elsewhere. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy to support local and a mother. I will be back!
