Ready for a night on the town with an incredible mani/pedi by Sheryl! I especially like that you're in a private room, and don't have to deal with having to listen to other people's conversations because you have the whole place to yourself. I was so relaxed, I fell asleep during the entire pedicure. Sheryl is detailed, and doesn't miss a hangnail! read more

La Petite Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Scheryl gave me a natural nail pedicure. I love that she focused on using Shellac instead of gel (better for the nails! But same result) She gave me a reflexology foot massage which was wonderful. I'll be back!! read more

This is such a cute little shop in the Phenix Salon building, next to Tuesday Morning. You text Sheryl when you're there and she meets you at the door. You're the only client in the room so you get her full attention during your appointment. My nails were stronger and longer after just a few visits. The only things keeping me from giving it 5 stars is that she specializes in "dry" manicures using shellac polish, so no water soaking of your hands or gel manicures here (I actually enjoy soaking my hands, but she did explain that is not good for your nails) and there's no visible price/service menu so I'm not quite sure what services are all offered. I like to switch up my manicures and pedicures so a list of services would really help me out. Give this place a try, your nails will thank you! read more

La Petite Nails - My skin felt so silky and soft after my manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Scheryl is sweet, smart, and professional. She even asked what my goals were for my nails. I don't think a manicurist has ever asked me that. She was flexible with me when I didn't like something that I had picked out. I felt welcome and comfortable. In the past, at big salons, I always got the feeling that I was being rushed, unsold and dismissed, with a few exceptions when I lived back East. I can't sing her praises enough in this review. I'm going to keep making appointments with Scheryl. Check her out! read more

Sheryl got my nails this long and they are ALL NATURAL! Grew them myself (with her help). She prioritizes nail health which is so important for me. Go see her! She will take care of your nails and you too can have beautiful long, NATURAL nails. read more

I loved my Pedicure and experience with Scheryl at La Petite Nails! Especially the fact that she is a private suite, and a Low Toxicity Natural Nail Specialist! She did the best job removing my callouses (I have bad ones) and my feet are still BABY soft! Her massage was long and sooo good! Honestly, best massage I've had with a pedicure ever. I can't wait to go back! Thank you Scheryl! read more

La Petite Nails - Beautiful Gel Toenail Polish from 2 weeks ago - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Personable and professional. I was looking for someone who did nails with products that have minimal toxins. I found the place! In addition to being friendly, Scheryl is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nails and how to make and keep them healthy. Also, lots of colors available. read more

Scheryl did a wonderful job with my shellac nails and sugar scrub pedicure. She is detail oriented and takes good care of you. I enjoy the individualized care since you are the only appointment and customer in her studio. Scheryl takes her time to ensure that you're pampered. If this is your first time, allot two hours for a Mani/pedicure service. You will not be disappointed! read more

Scheryl is incredible! She genuinely cares about your nails and is a true artist who is fully invested in her craft. Her private salon setting is just what you need when you are looking to pamper yourself and even better is she keeps it extremely cleaned and organized! La Petite Nails is a real gem. read more

She is super friendly and very professional. Plus, she has her own private area. She goes above and beyond. What I enjoy most is when she uses a heating pad on my back, and the massage. I would highly recommend visiting this beautiful lady. read more

Best experience EVER! Sheryl did an amazing job on my Nails, and took great care to make sure they were absolutely perfect. I don't think I've had this quality of a nail service in my life. I had a Shellac mani and Sugar Scrub pedi, and my hands and feet look faaaaabulous! The attention to detail, hygiene, client comfort and knowledge of nail health and growth were so impressive and appreciated. It took a while to get an appointment with her Groupon special running, because she operates out of her own studio (not a big salon with multiple people running at once) and she also takes the time needed to give you a high quality service, not those quick in-and-out dives that leave you feeling like you just paid for an infection. so just keep that in mind when booking. It is totally worth the wait. I HIGHLY recommend La petite Nails!! read more

La Petite Nails - Day 4, loving it - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

For the best foot massage ever I highly recommend Scheryl. The salon is so inviting, calm and relaxing. I have been for both manicure and pedicure and can't say enough about how amazing the experience was. read more

Had a great experience but super bummed that my gel peeled off within 5 days. I've never had that happen before. It's been a week and I had to get my nails redone already. Had a fantastic pedicure and shellac service today. I'm super happy with the outcome and look forward to going back again really soon. Thanks so much! read more

I wish I could rate this little salon higher, as a business owner myself, I do try and support local small businesses. I purchased a Groupon and when I called to schedule was told by the owner that I would need to be "on call" for my appointment. In other words, I need to schedule nothing else and if no one else who was a full-paying customer booked, I could come in and use the Groupon. If someone else came in, walk in or appointment, I was out of luck and I would have waited around pushing other tasks back to be on call for nothing. Because I had a Groupon... Since this seemed like a ridiculous joke, I pushed back until she just gave up and scheduled me. Yay! The service was good, I was happy with how my nails looked and felt, and I left feeling good about the whole thing despite the initial bump in the road with the Groupon scheduling. But then three of my shellac nails peeled completely off after just three days. Kind of a pain in the rear to have to drive an hour to get them fixed... but I made an appointment to do so anyway. When I went in to have them fixed, per the appointment time set by the salon owner, I arrived exactly on time and was told I'd have to wait outside for an hour. She said "yeah I guess I told you the wrong time to come in." (???) Seriously? The customer inside the shop heard all of this and said I could be worked in, instead of having to wait for an hour; so I was able to get the three nails repaired that had peeled. Super grateful for that customer. Then three days after the repair, another set of three nails peeled completely off (not the same three that first peeled). Not that it matters... 3-3-3-3 All in threes. If you have an event, don't get your nails done three days before, orrrr.... just AVOID this place altogether since the whole thing is super ridiculous. During the nail repair, I was lectured about "using my fingers.." like for cooking, making the bed, typing at work, scrubbing the toilet, and doing my hair. And THAT's why they peeled.... I should have treated my nails more like diamonds in a ring. Exact words. Wow. Ok. Mental note: lounge around and hire a cabana boy instead of running my business and my household just because I got my nails done here. Duly noted. There were other disturbing issues, like the 5 phone calls that came in from Groupon Corporate with complaints about the same sorts of things I had experienced; while I was there. I could hear half conversation because she was sitting right there, and every time she hung up she basically filled me in on the other half.. stating that her Groupon account rep calls her constantly about people complaining. I made the decision never to come back after hearing the phone calls, but then when my nails literally disintegrated, I had to. All in all, obviously I can not recommend this salon due to the very weird issues and poor quality of service. Total waste of my money. I'm not sure where these 5 star reviews are even coming from.. unless no one is waiting three days before reviewing? Or maybe if you *don't have a Groupon you get a different process done for your nails? I'm not sure.. but I won't be back to find out. read more

If you're looking for an experienced nail care professional who really knows her stuff, you MUST see Scheryl (sp?)! She's the owner and operator and takes great pride in doing a meticulous job. I also had learned a few things while I was there! MY STORY: I purchased a Groupon deal and scheduled an appointment. IMPORTANT - READ things when you buy. The instructions on these things are pretty clear, and so was the voicemail setup at the nail salon. I had great success with communication via text message, and my nails look gorgeous! The sugar scrub was relaxing and Scheryl kept the conversation light and lively. I felt like she really cared about my experience and valued my business...something completely opposite of many experiences I've had using Groupon certificates at local salons. INSIDER TIP: Be sure if you need to reschedule your appointment you contact her at least 24 hours in advance or there's a $25 fee. If you're a no-call, no-show your Groupon will be used for the service you did not show up for. There are also online/smartphone methods for you to book and reschedule. TO THE [FEW] WHINERS: The only complaints I'm seeing here on Yelp are mainly people who didn't follow instructions and/or just showed up and interrupted paying clients during their services O.O Don't do this - it's SUPER rude and I guarantee it's not a good decision. It doesn't matter how upset you are, you don't need to ruin another person's day to validate your feelings. Highly recommend, will return! read more

I bought a groupon for this place thinking I got a great deal, boy was I wrong. I looked up the review before I bought it and it seemed like the lady was very good at her job. I tried to call her multiple times and she never answered. Then I went in to her place to try to make an appointment with her and she was with a client, she said it not "my time" and to text her and she'll respond. So I texted her trying to make an appointment and she NEVER responded to me. Very unprofessional. I'm glad Groupon was able to refund me my money, because I do not want to support her business if she can't even respect me enough to make an appointment. read more

La Petite Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I never give bad reviews. But I believe it takes effort to ignore someone. 3 days ago on April 25 I contacted La Petite to use a Groupon. It's my anniversary coming up so wanted something nice. She told me her scheduling system was down so to please text her with what Groupon it was and she would call me back. Didn't hear back from her. See photo. Wed April 26 I called her (see photo) at 10:15am to try to schedule. She said she was with a client and couldn't access her schedule and would call me back. 4 hrs later I texted her again politely asking to get in Fri April 28. I try to not assume things so I have her benefit of doubt that she was just super busy and would reply by day's end. Didn't hear from her. See photo. I waited until this morning Friday April 28. Not a word. Not a call, nothing. There could be many factors BUT considering she actually verbally told me she would return my call and 2 days later still has not is extremely unprofessional. I called Groupon and got my money back. I'm very sad to be that ONE person who had a bad experience. But it should be said. I was looking forward to it. Someone else will get my business. read more

If I could leave negative stars I would! I purchased the Groupon and then tried to setup an appointment. Called the shop and left two voicemails. On her instruction she says to text her for a faster response. I did and she responded. When I said I had a Groupon from her store and I would like to confirm an appointment... no response back!!! I tried again... thinking maybe she didn't get my text and she responded again and the same exact thing happened again. I have a wedding I explained and need to confirm an appointment. This was a long hassle and unbelievably unprofessional! Still no response and I had to refund my Groupon. Buyer beware!!! read more

My husband set up an appointment for me to go do this. He saw her company on Groupon and got in contact with her before purchasing the Groupon. She honored the Groupon price and we were able to pay cash when I got there. Which actually works out better for her benefit, which is why she can't accept too many Groupons in a day. And I am sure if all these negative reviews asked her that..she would explain it to them. She did everything she could to get me in as soon as possible. She was very easy to talk to, which I get anxiety having to go get my nails done and not being able to know what I'm being asked...and ending up paying $20 more than I was planning because I didn't know what they were asking me.......I'm sorry...but that's real. She informed me so well on my nails, and how to take better care of them. After years of going to your typical nail salon...this is an amazing experience and I don't think I will ever go to your typical nail salon again. Scheryl is a great person who I want to support. read more

Absolute excellence and personal care. Scheryl not only did the best job ever on a shellac manicure and sugar scrub pedicure but counseled me as to the products I need. Wonderful! I will definitely go back...head and shoulders above the rest. Faith P. read more

La petite nails I got there early after awhile I decided to text her to let her know I was there. She arrived and was friendly from the start. I got in the studio put my fingers in some warm water, after awhile she started on my nails by cleaning them. She knew what she was doing, very nice, friendly, she got to knew me a little better by asking me questions. While she was painting my nails I accidentally ruin my thumb by touching my other thumb, but she fixed it for me. Everything took like an hour or so, after that my hubby went in and gave her tip for me since my nails were wet and we were on our way. Overall the service was excellent and friendly. read more

Scheduling an appointment was a nightmare, took over a month to schedule and when I was given my confirmation it had been scheduled for a day i was working so over a month waiting only to lead to no nail appointment at all. Customer service was atrocious and she told me that I must have made a mistake because she is unable to cancel appointments but I got a cancellation confirmation less than 5 minutes after telling her I didnt want to be put on a wait list. Worst groupon I've bought, wouldnt waste my time. Thank God for groupon issuing me a trade in value voucher. read more

I haven't had my nails done in a long time and this was the best place I could have gone. Scheryl gave me some excellent advice to make and keep my nails healthy. So happy with my mani/pedi. Very pleasant experience. read more

I got a Groupon from my sister as a Christmas present- I must say I am very impressed! Scheryl was meticulous, personable and very talented-- I will definitely be back on my next visit to Cali! read more

Good luck on getting an appointment here. Seems like she has probably taken on too many Groupons to handle her appointments in a timely manner. If you want to schedule a month or two in advance it may not be a problem. read more

Scheryl is consistently great and uses all low toxicity products that are vegan and organic. She can get your nails healthy and is very conscientious about keeping nails healthy. Love going here. Her studio is one on one and private. Quiet and no other people!! Lovely place and person. read more

This place is a little gem. My husband bought me a Groupon as a gift and I'm so glad he did or I would have never discovered it. It was so refreshing to find a nail place that has one-on-one personal service, does a great job and is so passionate about cleanliness!! I really enjoyed chatting with Scheryl while getting pampered in her cute space inside Sola Salon. A fun experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been blessed with very strong, healthy nails all my life.....but it's very difficult to find a nail professional that knows how to treat and care for natural nails. Scheryl took great care of my nails and gave me numerous tips and pointers how to keep them healthy and strong! She does book up weeks in advance so plan your appointment well ahead and call in early. She actually prefers to communicate via text, or you can schedule on-line. If you're trying to get in the day you call, it's likely not gonna happen.....this is a different sort of place. I found her thru Groupon, but due to a severe injury to my left hand that required stitches, I couldn't get in before the Groupon expired. I communicated this to her via text, and she was responsive and flexible. Nearly 6 months after my Groupon had expired, she still honored it without any penalty! For those folks with complaints, my guess is they want to get in the very day they buy a Groupon, and/or they aren't following the instructions as to how this vendor communicates/books appointments. My experience is that she is very reasonable.....BUT, she is also a professional trying to make a living and clients need to respect this. Book in advance, keep your appointment, be on time......you'll be very pleased! read more

Scheryl is purely amazing. After having many a botched mani/pedi at those not-so-great cheap nail parlours, I found this wonderful woman and my nails were transformed. My goal was to grow out my natural nails long and pretty, and she helped me achieve that. She uses top notch products (CND shellac, vinylux, etc) that are free of formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals. She is knowledgable, detail oriented, and diligent in her work. Not to mention, she is extremely good at what she does, and seriously the sweetest thing ever! When you walk out of her cute and clean salon, you can expect to have nails that are the same shape and polish application that is flawless and even. The deluxe pedi is beautiful..glass of wine in hand, coconut scrub, orange blossom mask, hot stone massage...need I say more? I will not let anyone else touch my nails, EVER again. read more

I found La Petite Nails through a Groupon a couple months ago, and have been coming ever since. Scheryl is a nail guru! She is so knowledgeable and really has a passion for what she does. She is CND certified, and I am a huge fan of CND nail products. Her shellac manicures are actually GOOD for your nails, and look amazing. Since I started seeing Scheryl my nails are the longest and healthiest they've ever been in my life. She's also great at nail art. Definitely book your appointments ahead because she is (rightfully so) super busy. So happy to find my forever nail home! :) read more

This salon is clean and private with only one client at a time. Scheryl does an excellent job and is a perfectionist with applying nail color. She gives the best foot massage I've ever received as part of a pedicure. Her elegant pedicure is a truly relaxing experience with a heated shoulder wrap, dimmed lights and soft music during the massage. After newly moving to this area I tried several salons before finding Scheryl and am so happy I did. My search is over, she's the one. read more

I purchased a Living Social special on August 15, 2017 I requested an appointment and was told the first available appoint would be October 24th! I asked if I could be on a cancelation list and was told she didn't have one. The day finally came for my appointment and I was there early and had to wait 10 minutes after my appointment time. As soon as I sat down she said Oh you have Gel you didn't tell me that. For one I never actually talked to her all communication was through text, 2ndly she never asked if I had polish on and what kind. She put the stuff on to remove the polish the entire time looking at her phone and texting. She hurried through my manicure and then came the pedicure, she had a tub and got lukewarm water out of the faucet with a pitcher. I was suppose to have a sugar scrub which she forgot to do, again the whole time looking at her phone and telling me she had another client at 1:30 and was using me to "catch up" on her schedule - she actually asked me if I could forgo toenail polish?!! Worst mani/pedi of my life! read more

Scheryl is so wonderful. Best foot massage in town! Very knowledgeable about nail health and very thorough. I love that she uses non toxic polish. 10/10 recommend!! read more

BEWARE!!!! Do not buy the Groupon DO NOT try to contact this lady it is a SCAM!!! I'm the hopes of maybe you giving up and cashing in the Groupons you will never get an appointment guaranteed. Look at all the other reviews it BLOWS my mind how she still has four stars. I bought two of them back in October and what do you know we are still here and she is rude and ridiculous. I can't believe it still how much of a situation this turned out to be how much time I've lost trying to contact her and now contact Groupon to get my shit redeemed. And of course it's not her fault it never is... I have all the proof in the world this is NOT worth your time. Do yourself a favor and Go somewhere else. read more
