    Smokey did an amazing job. I showed a reference photo and he kept asking if I liked the shape, color and length. It didn't take too long and he had a good sense of humor. Fairly priced as well. Will definitely be coming back.

    I really wish I remembered the name of who did my nails, but she was a super sweet aunty who took her time and really delivered on what I wanted! Being from Hawaii, my routine is that I tend to do my nails once a month and because of that they usually get pretty long by the next time I need them done. Considering I was in SD for the summer, I decided to give Lily Nails a shot and the aunty who did my nails did a great job cleaning them up and then shaping them back down to being round and short! She was very sweet and she tried her best to freestyle the squiggly design I showed her and in the end it came out so good! I want her to know how grateful I am for her effort and she seemed to have fun doing something like this, too. Check out the picture to see how good it turned out!

    Gel pedicure + callous removal & gel manicure + marble design = $60 + $1 card fee. Done by Lea.

    Make an appointment with Lea, she's very gentle with pedicures and she takes her time to work on your nails! I wish this place had dip powder OR did acrylic powder over your real nails instead of on fake nails. I would recommend parking the block before in the 2 hour parking zone on university and just crossing the street. I would recommend calling and making an apt cause they do get very busy and can be disorganized. I would also recommend making an early morning apt cause again they get busy. They have a lot of options for gel manicures. The guy who does pedicures does it rough and it hurts. You pay for the service you get.

    Getting my fill!! After 4 weeks my nails still look good. I was still getting compliments. That's what I'm talking about. I made an appointment with Lisa and I was in & out within an hour. I only had to wait 10 minutes after my scheduled appt. Lisa was on her s$$$ today. Lisa did another fabulous job today on my nails. Raspberry gel polish with black glitter accent. Fire!! See you in 4 weeks Lisa!!

    My nail lady por vida Always slays. If she closes (like when covid started), I'll wait until she reopens her shop that's how good she is in my opinion. Quality AND quantity right here ladies! Book your appt

    Lisa is so talented and amazing! She hand draws every design herself and does every length perfect. 10/10 always recommend her to everyone!

    I love coming here great prices and beautiful work ! I would highly recommend. Always call to make appt though .

    Acryclic Nail Tip set

    lisa did it again.. her sets always last me over 3 weeks ... but remember APPOINTMENT ONLYYY!!! oh & lily works magic w/ the brows!

    Angel N.

    Thank you Lisa! Duo chrome nails, they shift from blue to purple. They were only $28(gel fill). As many reviews say, make an appointment because they do get busy. Only complaint is that previous salons have told me how much I'd pay before starting but this one waits till the end.

    Skinny French tip by Lisa  alwaays gets my shape right!!! Luv how she does nails! they always last 2weeks with no chipping or lifting!

    If you make an appointment, you should be good. I ALWAYS book a week or 2 in advance and come 20min early. Lisa did short skinny french tip and I loveeeeeeeeee them !! My nails always last 2 weeks+ no lifting or chipping.

    Tip: always call for your appointment otherwise you'll be waiting a long time. This was my first time here because the last time I didn't make an appointment; so it felt like I was waiting for almost an hour.. and ended up going to a different nail shop. Lol Honestly, good prices here though and I do like how they take their time on my nails! Hence the long waits. Got a full set and Melissa was nice and accommodating even for my girlfriend who didn't have an appointment! Their hours are 9:30-7:00 but make sure to get here early and on time for your appointment!

    This is my first with this place and I like the ambiance. It's very quiet and all the staff were nice and just chilling doing other people's nails. I finally got called and even though the nail tech was doing my nails fast, she have the control of her tools and how my nails will look. I like how she's fast but still gave me a really good product! Regular Gel manicure $23

    My recent set.. acrylic overlay. By Lily
    Sabrina F.

    Lily always nails what I ask for. I love that she takes her time with every single one of her clients no matter what it is. I've had to wait at times even when I've made an appointment. But I don't mind because like I said she doesn't rush through anyones nails which is so worth the little wait if you want the job done right. I highly recommend her. She's not only nice & caring. But also very detailed with her work. Thankyou Lily !

    Who do you guys recommend that does an AMAZING job at shaping and designs?

    Lily! always takes her time and her shape has never disappointed me

    Is there a specific nail technician anyone would recommend who does acrylic ombré the best?

    How much for the pink & white ombré nails with a coffin shape?

    I paid $30 for mine! Also I love going to Lisa for my nails (:

    Do they have blue chrome/unicorn nails?

    Yup

    Service: Gel X fill and nail art…read more After an endless search for nail techs, I finally found one that does phenomenal work, is reasonably priced, and an overall good vibe. Book with Taylor when you visit The Beauty Plug, and you'll never leave disappointed.

    Full disclosure: I am posting this 3wks after my visit, but began typing parts of the following…read morewhile still at the salon being worked on. I am adding onto it before posting. I did mention that I was dissatisfied before I paid and was offered a smol credit towards my next visit. I feel terrible writing such an awful review of the place because they are very highly rated (which is why I paid a visit) but I have to speak my truth. And the aim of this is to bring an awareness. I've been going back and forth about leaving a review this whole time. I'm disappointed. I expected more. I'd like to return because I AM impressed by their lineup of services offered/the cleanliness and everyone is friendly. With that being said, why wouldn't they have an exclusive lineup of highly & dynamically trained/skilled nail technicians performing services that will uphold the caliber of business The Beauty Plug aims for, on hand, for walk-ins and appointments alike... especially on weekends. thank u, love u. I received a Gel X Full Set w gel polish + "a design" - which was airbrush ombré with an outlined tip & a Gel Pedicure. - Gel X application glue was left with a lot of space where my natural nail was exposed under the gel x nail. If you know gel x you know what I mean. - Blotchy clear coat; not one nail has a smooth clear application. - Crooked nail application on my thumb. - No blending of the nail extension edges to my natural nail. - No consistency in size and placement of the extension. (Some are further over with my real nail exposed.) - After one week most started lifting from my nail bed. - Another tech had to pull away from her client to do a part of the service mine wasn't educated on. *COMING BACK TO MY DRAFT TO SAY THAT A FRIEND TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PRESS ONS* I wish I took pictures. But I had to get them thangs off. Those pedicure stations are very aesthetic but not made for luxurious comfort. I asked for her to trim my toe nails during my pedicure and she butchered them so short when she got to filing it started to be painful. Ending to say that I don't think this place is worth avoiding altogether, but I wasn't impressed enough to make it somewhere I frequent for nails because of my experience. Other services of theirs caught my eye too!
