I loved this place! Great people, great nail care! My only complaint is they are very pricy. If you have the money to spend go here. Sadly I can't afford to go back on a regular basis. read more

This place is a gem! Have had good experiences on other visits. But this time I saw the owner and she is amazing. It's obvious how much her business, staff, and clients mean to her. There was a little miscommunication about my appointment, and she went out of her way to take care of me. Totally made my day. read more

Best nails i've had in north county so far. Such a sweet group of people

This is by far the best place I have ever gotten my nails done. Loc, really took his time and cared about the health of my nails. They looked absolutely beautiful. read more

Legend Nails - Taupe gorgeous OPI gel. - Nail Salons Near Me - Encinitas, California

Love this place. My favorite part is watching them scrub the pedicure tub between each client. Makes me know everything is clean and that they care that their clients are safe and healthy. Great job, very friendly family business. Love that. Other people love them too so make an appointment if you come around the holidays. Highly recommend. read more

Same day appointment made this place very worth it. Very friendly staff and good quality for a local nail salon. Very cute little spot.

The friendliest staff and such a relaxing, down to earth atmosphere. Also, in my experience they do the best quality gel manicures in North County, and I've tried many places. My manicure was three weeks ago, and yet the gel is still perfectly adhered to my nails - if it weren't for my nails growing out, they would still look as perfect as the day I got them done. read more

Legend Nails is a fabulous find! I was very impressed with the clean and intimate setting, but was very pleased with my both my manicure and my pedicure. Marianne's attention to detail and time spent on my nails was very impressive. I will definitely continue to use this salon exclusively because not only was I very satisfied with the work done, but with the efficient and effective use of time. The massage to my legs and fingers as well added to a very enjoyable experience. read more

Great place to get your nails done! I was looking for a new nail place in Encinitas, and found Legend Nails by looking on Yelp. The prices are really reasonable, and they take their time to massage your feet, and get the polish just perfect. read more

This is the best nail salon I have ever stepped foot in! When ever I go I feel totally unrushed, and welcome. I get gels from Loc, and he never disappoints me! He treats each and every nail like a piece of art work. It takes him about two hours for a full set, and about an hour and half for a fill, but every single second is worth it! I recommend this salon to anyone, and I guarantee there is no better place you can go in Encinitas. read more

I received a pedicure yesterday and was impressed. It was my first time there and I will definitely return. Friendly staff, very clean, and a great pedicure. read more

I love this salon! They are so nice! Lak is the best I've seen at Gel tips and acryllics...his artistic eye is amazing and he's so fun to talk to! Cheaper than a therapist but very wise... his mom is really good at pedis and gel colors too. I love the massage chairs for the spa pedis. This is the only place I could go when I was pregnant because they have great ventillation and keep both doors open. It is across from Yogananda's temple and my favorite organic cafe Dharshan...the vibe is high! Enjoy! read more

I love love love this place. Kai is so amazing and funny..always making funny jokes. She runs this small spot with her kids who are so lovely. They always take their time and give great quality mani-pedis. I love how intimate setting that is opposite of most nails salons with 20 chairs and 40 cackling woman working. It may not be the most high-end place in the area.. but the vibe and people make this my go-to. read more

I have been going to Loc for 13 years! There's NO one like Loc!!! He is an amazing manicurist, we always have fun creating art on my hands together. I love the family atmosphere in the shop. read more

BEST place for mani-pedi, good prices, clean, professional, very detailed work and great staff. I have been doing my mani-pedi here since I moved to Leucadia, and I am so happy I found them. They definitely deserve their good ratings, TOP nails place. Make sure to make an appointment, they get quite busy. read more

This place is the best. It's a two minute walk from my house, reasonably priced, and the staff is very welcoming. I don't even mind the portable buckets they use for the pedicures :) read more

Not impressed. My cuticles still look terrible and my polish is uneven. Also, my manicurist cut way too close to the nail bed even after I told her it was hurting a little bit. Very little attention to detail. read more

Loc did an amazing job on my gel nails, I will definitely be back!

Went for first time pedicure today. Lang was very nice and professional. My pedicure looks great and she gave an excellent massage!! She took a good 10-15 minutes for the massage, not like the usual quick ones I have received in the past from other less expensive nail salons. My only suggestion was my massage chair was not working very well, was stuck on one setting. I will definitely go back. My daughter got a gel/shellac manicure and she is very pleased. Her quote was that her gal was "meticulous" in how she did it. Salon is small but appears clean, and very friendly. read more

My first experience was very good, but I dont think I'll go back, this last time the older lady gave me a pedicure, she wasn't paying attention... she kept looking around and talking to others and so she cut my big toe pretty badly, its been a week and I still have big scab, it kinda defeats the purpose of getting a pedicure!!! Disappointed! read more

I've been here several times. They are sooo nice and genuine. They do great work. Every time it's been a great experience. Clean, competent, friendly family business. This place is spectacular. My nails look great and the mani pedi lasts. Greay read more

Not only will you have great nails, you will leave feeling like you've made good friends. My visits there always leave me smiling and satisfied. read more

I went to this nail salon today due to the wonderful reviews on Yelp. Dont let the exterior trick you. I was a walk in, I got a gel french manicure and a gel pedicure. To say they look beautiful is an injustice to their work. They are meticulous! I would recommend this place to anyone! The chairs are comfy, it doesn't smell like chemicals and overall it was an awesome experience. read more

The reason I found this nail salon cause of yelp reviews , and truthfully this place is amazing very clean work and enjoy the atmosphere my first visit very impressed read more

Simply fantastic!! I'm a long time gel nail fan and ...perfectionist. Loc and team live up to the rave reviews here on Yelp. Today was my first visit. I will be a loyal customer from here on out. 5+ Stars! read more

Very friendly, outstanding customer care! I missed my original appointment but the woman took me in anyways and made time for me. I got a mani/pedi, the massage was heavenly and the ladys did a beautiful job on my nails. I noticed the woman remembering the names of all the salon's clients as they came and went, I thought that was a nice touch. The salon was very clean and had a nice selection of polishes. Very affordable and the overall quality of the service made me wish I lived in Encinitas so I could come in all the time. I highly recommend Legend Nails! read more

Yes, five stars! This is a family owned business and they are stellar. Furthermore there is always great music playing, makes for a nice ambiance. I can agree that the prices may be a bit pricey, but I will pay that money for thoroughly outstanding service. read more

5 stars all the way! kai and her son loc run this family owned salon. they have the best service (both customer and nail) and the best prices in town. i never feel rushed in/out like many nail salons and they really take the time to do my nails perfectly. i'm a clean freak too, and everything is always properly cleaned here.... although the decor is very 80s. i recently was invited to their 5 year anniversary party complete with delicious local food, balloons and raffles. how many people can say that about their nail salon?! read more

I just wanted to provide an update since I started getting gel nails from Loc. He does an amazing job! I get so many compliments on my nails, they look perfect every time. I still go to Khai for my pedicures, she is the best. I highly recommend Legend Nails!! read more

I have been looking for a local nail place in North County for a very long time that does a good job but is also affordable. I actually looked on Yelp and found Legend Nails. I have gone a few times and I am hooked! Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel welcome when you enter the salon. Loc does an amazing job with gels. He takes his time and is very detailed. We have good conversation and the nails last for a long time in very good shape! The best part is how natural he makes them look! read more

Excellent pedicure! Best one I have had in a while, I would completely recommend Legend Nails, great job and fair prices!

Great salon, I made an appt for mani/pedi and didn't have to wait at all. Nice long massages on my hands and feet by two sweet girls. Nobody asked me if I wanted my callouses removed, it was actually part of the service, just like it used to be everywhere. It wasn't rushed and no timers went off telling them to move on. The whole atmosphere was less stressed and no awkward conversations. It was only $35 for the mani pedi - hallelujah! I've found my new place to be a regular! read more

I was visiting my brother in CA and was desperately in need of a manicure. After going to the beach nearby I found this place on yelp and was able to get a last minute appointment. Even though I arrived a bit early they were able to start on my mani right away. The place is small but very clean and pleasant. All of the staff are super friendly and the woman doing my nails really took her time to make sure my nails were perfect!! My manicure lasted almost two weeks with no chipping (just a regular mani not a gel or anything). I highly recommend this place! read more

I absolutely love this place. It is my first choice to get my nails done as their service is amazing every time. Staff is so nice, they take their time and really do take pride in their work. It is ver small, which makes it very relaxing without 40 people getting serviced by 50 different people. Kai, her son and the other wonderful young lady that works there are all great to get serviced by. Only $30 for a spa mani and pedi! read more

They were prompt, on time and probably the best manicure I've ever had. My nails don't look fake! Make an appt.! Lon was wonderful.

These women were so delightful, it was like being with friends and being at home. Our first time here, 3 of us from Chicago, San Antonio and southern Alabama were treated to expertly done manicure and pedicures. It was a refreshing experience compared to other salons we have been to. The energy was perfect and next time we are in town, we will come needing manicures and pedicures and visit our old friends. Thank you all for a wonderful day. By the way girls, I won $449. on one bet at the racetrack today. My manicure brought be good luck! read more

Great service! Tracy was so perfect! I have an injury and she was so gentle and thorough. I will be back.

Great lil neighborhood place! The people are lovely and listen to what you want. They helped me choose my colors. I was trying to find a good reasonable place to get my nails done and saw lots of good reviews and went here and was absolutely true! They do an amazing job, good massage and the prices are really decent! read more

I'm well into my THIRD week on the gel french manicure I got here, which is the longest ever for my nails. I almost forgot that I don't always have beautiful nails :) Customer for life. read more

Visiting Encinitas on vacation from back east. Didn't have time for a pedi before I left home. As soon as I arrived I checked Yelp and Legend Nails sounded like what I wanted. It was! Friendly staff and clients and a perfect pedi. Very reasonable prices. Cute, small, clean shop, on quiet side street. Bringing my sister, who just arrived here, this week. read more
