This was my first appointment, and Nia took so much time and care through the whole appointment. I enjoyed the tranquility of her studio and the small details (mini fridge, phone stand, comfy arm rest, etc) made it an elevated experience! I can't wait to continue going to her.

I will vouch for Nia and her skill for as long as I'm alive. I've been getting acrylics, gel, now…read moregel x for over 12 years, and I've been going to Nia for over 2 years now. She is the only nail tech where the nails never lift and I can go up to 7 weeks without a fill with no issue. Nia is ALWAYS up for a design challenge and she executes flawlessly. Her space is thoughtfully curated with a wide range of polish colors and small personal touches such as a tea coaster and a phone stand. There's even a small corner with a mini fridge stocked with sodas and snacks. I'm a Nia's Nail Nook customer for life, give her a try, I promise you won't regret it.

I get gel overlay on top of my natural nails, and thanks to Mia, my nails have grown out longer and stronger than ever. No matter what design or inspiration photo I bring her, she always brings it to life and somehow makes it even better. Her attention to detail is incredible, and my nails always come out looking so clean, creative, and flawless. They also last me for weeks without lifting or chipping. On top of being an amazing nail artist, Mia is so kind, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. Every appointment is something I look forward to. I recommend her to everyone I know, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you for keeping my nails beautiful all these years!

When I moved to San Diego, I visited a few nail salons to find my go to gel manicure spot and…read moretruthfully wasn't satisfied by the service and how my nails looked. I came across Emily's Nails here on yelp and I'm so glad I did. This is now my go to spot and I've visited three times and will continue to return. This nail studio is woman owned and Phouvone is the best. She is kind, friendly, and listens to what you are requesting. She's efficient and does a great job. The quality of the work is great. Unlike most salons, she takes and honors your reservation. You can call her or text her to book an appointment and she's quick to respond. It's so convenient! I've only gotten gel manicures and while the color selection may not be as big as some other nail salons, she primarily uses OPI which is obviously good quality so she cares about your nails. I've picked colors during my appointments and then they don't look like I want them to look or the color just looks different on me and she's so kind and quick to suggest others and make the switch. I encourage you book an appointment here next time you need/want your nails done. Given that her primary business comes from appointments, keep that in mind when you book so that you don't cancel on her since that affects her business. *insert heart emoji* and don't forget to tip!

Angelina is the best! I've been seeing her since 2015. I was never really a fan of gel manicures…read moreuntil I found her. I no longer have to deal with chipped or lifting gel nails since her polish bonds well and lasts for weeks. She is detail oriented and aims to provide great customer service. It's always such a relaxing experience when I come in for my mani/pedis, I look forward to it every month. She's done a great job with her space too, you can tell she put a lot of thought into creating an inviting atmosphere for her clients. I highly recommend!

We came to Kai nails because my daughter and I wanted 30 minutes at another nail salon without…read morebeing greeted. So we took a chance on a new place and we could not have been more happy with the service and the quality of the nails we both received. Each of us got pedicures and I got a gel manicure. As someone who had been going to my old nail salon for three years I was super nervous. But both people working with me and my Daugther made us feel welcomed and provided excellent service. See you in TWO weeks!

February '26 I requested French tip with an off white/pinkish gel color that I provided (photo…read moreattached). When I told the service provider what I wanted, she said "no it doesn't look good; do white" to which I told her I like the tip color. March '26, I requested THE SAME THING from THE SAME WOMAN and she refused. She had another worker tell me. "She doesn't want to use your color because it's too sheer and she would have to do two coats". I wanted what I wanted CAUSE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, but I didn't go back and forth and just told her no French tip. My acrylic was laid very THICK and I didn't bother like my nails overall. (Attached photo) After my service, I paid and tipped my pedicure service provider because she actually did what I wanted and did not tip the manicure provider because she REFUSED to do what I asked. She then yelled towards me as I walked out. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wouldn't go if you plan to get your nails how you would like!

Nancy was available upon entry, she did beautiful work and shaped my nails perfectly from square to a soft round, very natural color and shape feel great. No problems of paint lifting or broken nails. Very professional and she told me she and one other does acrylics. She did hard gel on me, it was my first time and it stung while it baked. Felt like my fingers were on fire. Afterwards my nails were so cute and feminine looking. Love the color books, each are clean and not ratty. The salon has parking upfront, used the park smarter app for parking zone and was pleased to walk around afterwards since Nancy did a one hour of work and I paid for two hours of parking.

My usual nail shop in OB is closed on Tuesdays, and needed my nails done today, so came in and had Tony. I was happy with the results, although the massage (my favorite part) was super quick; way too brief! $30 for a gel manicure. Various pedicure options, and the extra spa treatments are really nice.
