I came in to see if they could do a manicure and seen the condition of my nails and didn't even attempt to help in anyway and said they can't do anything. Seemed rude and very unprofessional ended up going somewhere else and they had no problem working on my nails. read more

Kim is awesome!! She does the best acrylics and she is so creative! I'm so glad I found her. I won't go anywhere else!

I love this salon! It's right around the corner from my house and the service is always spot on. The staff is super friendly and communicative when making appointments and super awesome during the appointment. Wendie is amazing and her pedicures are out of this world. Always happy and relaxed when I leave! read more

I just moved to Santee a few months ago and tried a few other nail salons before finding Love Nails. I've had 4 pedicures here so far and they have all been immaculate. Every nail tech is friendly and knows how to draw designs. My favorite things are that they are the best at cleaning your toe nails ( I've actually wanted to leave with no polish), they meet state sanitary regulations, ams the finished product is always immaculate. They also have specials on Tuesday and Wednesday. Do yourself a favor and try them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

I moved into the area and immediately went to Love nails to check it out. Keep in mind that walk ins are welcomed but it's better to call ahead and make an appointment. You'll save yourself some time that way. You'll be greeted by Kim, who is great. The other girls are awesome as well, super professional. The salon itself is very well kept and super clean. The pricing is great and you certainly get your monies worth. I usually come in on the weekdays as the weekends get busy. read more

After going to 3 different salons in the Santee area, I finally found, "the one." I came in at 9:35 (5 minutes after they had opened) and even though Danny had an appointment at 10:00, him and his wife, Kim, did what they could to squeeze me in. Since appointments are priority, I understood having to be juggled between nail techs. I had been having a hard time finding a place that does the tapered coffin shaped to my liking so after seeing their photos, I wasn't expecting to be let down. It was the day of my anniversary so I needed to look and feel pristine! And the fact that I came in during their pedicure special was perfect! Navy does a killer leg rub and her nail shaping and polish application were far from mediocre. My toes look perfect! Needless to say--I am beyond satisfied! They handle this walk-in with such high grace and their quality of work nor their politeness was compromised. You never find shops like these anymore! read more

My mom and I went in for pedicures. We were both very happy. The place was clean and it was a really good pedicure! Wendy did mine and she did a great job. They didn't rush, they were gentle and friendly, and our toes look perfect! I'd go back! read more

Love Nails is awesome!!! I have been seeing Kim for about a year now. She was at another nail salon in Santee, but then her husband Danny and her decided to start their own nail salon!! So I moved over!!! Danny is also amazing at pedicures and there is another girl there named Ann, that also does amazing pedicures as well. I love getting the gel nail polish because it lasts so much longer and they all know how to do some great design work that's not just your typical flower or star. It is truly like artwork with the smudging of the brush, and almost like an ombré style nail. Its pretty cool! I don't even live in Santee and I still make the drive out there because I love the way that Kim does my nails. I'm a chronic nail biter so she helps me maintain them by making them a little bit thicker then your normal nail. Now that Danny and Kim have their own nail salon I won't be going anywhere else EVER until I leave San Diego! read more

I come here religiously bi weekly love Kim and her staff always a great experience and great work!

Either they have the wrong phone number listed on Yelp or i was giving incorrect information. I called 15 minutes before I left my house to ask if they had availability for a pedicure. I was told yes, to come right in. I walk in and am told there's no availability and I need to come back. I told them what I was just told over the phone. They said no one had called and went about their business as if I wasn't standing there. Won't be back. read more

This salon was very nice in terms of the quality. I got a full acrylic set with gel and a sparkle design. But the technician did not know how to do ombre nails what I wanted. I ended up paying $57 which didn't really make sense according to the menu, but I think it was for the sparkles they put on top. The quality is great and even after 2 weeks, my nails still look perfect. However, it doesn't matter because I cannot afford to go back. read more

Although Kim does a great job with nails, I had to stop coming here due to the wait. In spite of me making appointments every single time, I was almost always kept waiting for at least 15 minutes or more. One of the last times I was waiting for 30 mins so I decided to move on. read more

Have been here a few times and everyone was friendly enough, but five days after I got my nails filled and painted for my engagement photos they started chipping. I called to make an appointment to get then repainted and was told it would be $25. Ridiculous when a fill costs $33. Definitely will not be going there again and no longer recommending it to others. read more

I've been with Kim for 3 years now and she now has her own salon. She's really that good!! Her nails last (acrylic) and look really nice. She knows what she's doing and does really good and fun designs. I always get compliments on my nails. Super friendly and very professional staff. The new shop is really clean and comfortable. The pedicure chairs are nice and new, they have a hook for your purse and a tray for your drink. No more purse on the floor and fumbling with your drink. I would recommend anyone to her and the others I'm her shop. I'm here now and I'll post a pic of my nails when I'm done. Her prices are really good too. read more

I've tried out Love nails 4 times now in the past few months. After receiving subpar service at another Santee nail salon after years, I decided to try a new location closer to home. Once again Yelp didn't fail me in sending me here. I've gotten pedicures each time with different staff each time and each one has done a great job. They are thorough, use new tools each time(I've watched them open wrappers from tools for every pedicure I've received), and don't take forever to get the job done. This place is clean and they seem to pride themselves in that. They can get busy at times, but seem to have a pretty good handle on number of staff for busier times of day/week. I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes to be seated, although it can happen. Guess I've just timed it right. This is now my new nail place, with easy parking, friendly and professional staff, and great work. Nail polish selection seems great for gel and ok for regular. I always bring my own, though. It's so nice to find a great nail place so close to home! read more

I have lived in Santee for 5 years and have struggled with finding a good nail salon out of the many, many choices in the area. After being disappointed with having unevenly filed nails, poor staying quality, and being hurt, I finally came upon Love Nails on Yelp. After reading reviews, I decided to try them out, and I am not disappointed! The salon is always neat & clean and the utensils sterilized. I have gotten 2 gel manicures and 1 regular pedicure ~ nothing fancy. The manis, both by Navy, have been meticulous and the first one lasted over 2 weeks with minor chipping on my right hand on days 14 and 15, which I expected since I am right-handed. The pedicure was awesome in that the tech, Mimi, actually listened to me when I said I wanted the nails short and really worked diligently on those hard to reach corners. I am very happy and the price is definitely reasonable for the quality! I'm looking forward to continuing to come here for a long time! read more

Sooooo....I've been here several times now AND my nails last longer, look better for longer and are just done so much better than other places. Great work, good products!! read more

This was my first time at this salon and I initially loved my set, but I got a full set & the nail extension does not cover my entire finger nail and my nails are growing out from the nails and it looks terrible. I wish Sue would have paid more attention to ensuring the nail would be a good fit for my nail. read more

I have 1 place I go to but didn't want to drive out of santee. And this place opened up alil while ago and decided to give it a shot. I believe it was Kim who did my nails, a full set. And I absolutely love them. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Came here as a suggestion from a coworker, and I definitely don't regret it! Kim was absolutely amazing. My nails still look great and it's been over three weeks! Busy schedule is keeping me from going back in, but I definitely will be! read more

I walked in there this morning for a polish change they took me right away and did a very quick and clean job in a gentle manner.

This place is amazing. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. Danny did my pedicure. I had surgery on one of my feet 3 years ago. He listened to my request to not massage my toes due to the surgery. Most places charge ahead and the massage is painful. I had an excellent pedicure and experience. Side note: if you come at a busy time you'll probably have to wait - that happens at popular shops. Don't pass up this shop because of one or two complaints about the wait. The service is worth your time. read more

Super great mani and pedi!!!!! Very clean place and great service! Came with a friend and they did not mind that we sat and talked for 45 min after our nails were done! Will for sure head back! read more

Found my new favorite nail place! I love getting gel on my nails and toes, and often when I go to other places they never quite to do it the way I expect. Well I'm thrilled with how mine turned out! I loved how meticulous they were, and it wasn't rushed. She was constantly double checking and making sure everything was cleaned up and beautiful looking. She took pride in her work which I admired, because it also showed how much she cares about her customers and giving them the best service/perfect nails! read more
