    I cannot recommend this nail salon, and Tony, enough! I have been coming here for over a year now, after trying many other places. They consistently deliver incredible results. What truly sets them apart is their unmatched attention to detail. Whether I have a specific, complex design in mind, like custom designs or detailed color palettes, or just need a clean, perfect manicure, they nail it every single time. You can tell they truly care about their craft and take the time to ensure everything is flawless. Beyond their talent, the staff is incredibly kind, dedicated and professional. They always take the time to listen to exactly what I want, and I leave feeling like my nails look better than the inspiration photos I bring in. If you are looking for a place that combines high-level artistry with genuine care for their clients, this is the spot. I won't go anywhere else!

    Love this salon! Everyone is so nice and they have great colors to choose from. They can also do some pretty impressive nail art! I usually have longer nails and get cute designs all the time but right now I've been having to do shorter nails instead. I really appreciate the time they still take to make sure my short nails still look just as good as my long. The shape is always perfect and the color(s) are nicely applied. I have never walked out disappointed. I also get pedicures here and it's so relaxing. They have several options but I like the one option that includes hot stones. And everything is very clean and professional. Honestly I recommend this salon to everyone. I went to a couple others before coming here and this is by far my favorite spot!

    first time my nails were done, then walked back in to ask them to fix it!

    I've given this salon a couple of chances and my nails each time come out thick, uneven, and messy, and I had to go back each time to have them corrected. While they did improve after being redone, they still weren't as clean and polished as I would expect for the price. A good set should be thin, not bulky or puffy, with a smooth surface (no lumps or dips), a clean cuticle area (no product on the skin), and straight, even shaping. When these things are off, it's noticeable right away. I'm not sure if it's the products being used, the application, or rushing, but for a mid-to-high price range, I expected better consistency and attention to detail. I was also told it was due to my natural nails, but I've had my nails done at other salons and never experienced these issues, so I don't believe that's the case. I really appreciate their willingness to fix the work, but I'd prefer a place that gets it right the first time without needing adjustments. Especially since those adjustments aren't the best either... Getting your nails done should be a fun, relaxing experience, not one where you're worried about the outcome each time.

    Pros: Everyone was very nice and if paying with cash, they give you a 5% discount. Also, the nail artist who did my niece's nails, did an amazing job with nail art on all nails. My daughter was happy with her nails, as well. Cons: When I called in, I asked for 6:00 appointments for the three of us and was told that would be fine. We got there early and weren't seated till 6:30. Again, everyone was very nice, but I wasn't happy with having to wait so long, and for paying for one of the bigger pedicure packages, I feel that the polish job could have been better. Also, I was given a pre stamped incentive card which came with one stamp. I was given another stamp but should have given more since I paid for all three of our services.

    I've been through so many nail salons throughout San Diego for several years, and since finding LK, I've stopped roaming! The nail technicians and designers are great at what they do, and have consistently provided excellent customer service. I get off work really late so don't get in until 6pm. They are willing to stay past their closing to work on my nails even though they're not obligated at all to. Pictures are about 1-2 weeks old each time since I forget to post, but quality of their work is fantastic. They've never turned away any crazy designs I find online, and try their best to make it as close to the design as possible. They're a little far out in Santee, but I think they're worth the drive and I'll still be coming back even after I move out of the El Cajon area!

    Love this salon! Tony is professional, efficient and very artistic. I love his designs! The salon is very clean and quiet. I highly recommend!

    I bring in an inspo picture and Tony ALWAYS delivers. I think this may be my favorite set yet. I never leave unhappy. Pedicures are also always incredible and I got to have some wine too. Perfect evening if you ask me! 100/100 HIGHLY recommend. Here are my nails in different lighting, safe to say I am obsessed. Within 30 minutes I was receiving compliments, but then again, I always am getting compliments on my nails!

Lina had a great solution and did an amazing job matching it with an acrylic extension--you can't even tell in the photo. That said, if you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend asking for Gel-X instead of acrylic. The acrylic ended up feeling loose and didn't hold well, so I had to come back before leaving for a trip. To their credit, Sunny Nails squeezed me in the very next day. Another technician quickly assessed the issue, removed the acrylic, and replaced it with Gel-X (a full, strong nail--not just a tip). The result was flawless--she shaped it beautifully, and I was able to enjoy my trip with perfect nails. The only downside was the experience during the fix. The technician seemed frustrated, didn't respond to my thank you, and abruptly turned off the blue light and walked away without acknowledgment. It felt a bit uncomfortable--especially since I had already paid extra for the initial service and had to come back. Overall, they made it right, and I appreciate the quality of the final result--just wish the customer experience during the correction matched it.

Never had one problem at all at the salon. Today I had an absolute awful experience. I don't know if Linh is not experienced in Gel-X fill (she didn't even clean underneath my fingernails at all and they came out all lumpy) or she just had a bad day. Automatically she was in a bad mood the minute I sat in her chair. She had on a "stank" face and the way she spoke to me was extremely rude (what did IIIIIIII do to you??). No big deal I thought, everyone has a bad day! But then she proceeded to do my nails and literally made almost every single one of my fingers bleed! Like blood was coming out! Coming to the salon should be relaxing, but she made me stress out so much that my hands started shaking! Couldn't enjoy the pedicure that I was getting done at the same time at all!!!! I'm including a picture, and mind you that's after cleaning up all the blood. And it's only my left hand, my right one is worse!!! Do not get your nails done by Linh, she's awful, rude, disrespectful and just not good at her job at all!!!!!!!! NEVER had I more worse experience in a nail salon my whole life, and I'm almost 40! P.S. she also had extremely dirty gloves on (stained yellow that they started turning dirty brown), that also were ripped on some of her fingers! Jeeze lady, can't even change your DISPOSABLE gloves?!?

My friend chose the third pedicure option and gel nails nail polish to match her feet. After it was all done I found out I had the 3rd option not what I selected -at a higher cost than I anticipated. They left my price at the one I selected which was fair. I will caution you - be clear about what you want - I suggest Star give a written menu and you select your choice in writing - to save any uncomfortable miscommunication. This can potentially lose clients. I did feel like I was unknowingly upsold. All said they did such a nice job and everyone that helped us was very nice. They did an excellent pedicure/manicure. Took their time. My friend looked beautiful she had gel nail polish and gel toenail polish! II will say everything was done without feeling hurried and I would recommend them. Plan on spending about $200 for two.
