Aaron is AMAZING! I'm so grateful I live down the street from such a wonderful & peaceful nail salon! I love what he has done with the place. The plants and atmosphere are so soothing. The staff is amazing. It's so nice being surrounded by such a great staff.

Absolutely hated my nails got them done on Friday the lady rushed to get me out because she was closing didn't even let my nails dry then she said they were dry which obviously they weren't if they didn't have time to do my nails properly they could of told me and I would saved my money and on top of that I tipped them 5 dollars for a shitty job smh will never come here again save your money and time . The owner called me back or supervisor with a supper sassy rude tone and was really upset that her customer service wasn't amazing said I don't have any right to yelp about my personal experience and that LOL said she would fix them but that it was my fault they did not dry ? Okay obviously not my fault but with her time and rude manners they can keep my money and my tip that they didn't even deserve I will never be returning to this location... stay away and apperantnley if you don't get gel it's your fault! this place is a complete joke and with your horrible customer service I'll go to my regular nails people and have them fix your sloppy job! Worst 35 full one color set I've ever gotten . Work on your customer service please you need HELP!!!!

Came here last week on a Friday at about 2:30pm. The man at the front said they didn't have "space" and it would be about an hr wait from start to finish for a mani/pedi. Total service took about 1hr. The gel mani wasn't the best as it started to chip a few days later and my fingers began to peel within hours of leaving the salon (pictures). A week later my cuticles continue to peel. I won't return

took my sisters here for a Spa Day. We got the Royal Pedicure or something like that. They were extremely accommodating because I called the morning of for an appointment and they were able to fit me in on a Friday afternoon for three people. It was not busy when we showed up, but it definitely got busy by the time we left. People were just walking in and they were definitely spread thin. At some point they asked people in the waiting area to come back at another time, the whole place was full. At the beginning they took their time, it was relaxing and comfortable but towards the end you could tell that if one was behind the others, she was rushing to catch up. And then eventually every one of the ladies was just rushing to get us out and help the next person. Overall, it was good. They tried to have friendly conversation with us but we mainly spoke between each other. Not a bad place.

Luminous nails salon. Also, my epic fill from Arron

I have been having Arron do my nails for over four years. Previous to finding him I tried every place in town and was disappointed. With Arron my nails have never looked so perfect. And this is not an easy job! I ride/own horses and I sell vintage clothing. Both of these are incredibly hard on my nails. But he always has me looking sharp !I can't understand any negative reviews because I have been pleased every time I go. The staff is friendly and the salon is immaculate. Reviews have said that Arron was rude or curt with them - I find this ridiculous. when I call, he picks up the phone and greets me by name. if there is no availability, he finds a different time for me. He is not a silly, bubbly type. He is a stoic, hard-working, meticulous, professional. get to know him, he's a great guy. Ask him about his watch collection! I couldn't sing his praises any higher .

Thank you Arron! You did such an amazing job with my nails!!! They are beautiful! I love how it looks very natural!

Unfortunately my gel polish didn't last even 5 days. My nails started chipping after 2 days of getting them done. I've never experienced this before as they usually last 2 weeks. For the price I would recommend going somewhere else. It was pricey and they didn't even last for my birthday which is what they were intended for.

3-day old pedicure

Great staff, wonderful massage and pleasant experience. However, I went in three days ago for a wedding tomorrow but my toe nail polish is looking disastrous. See attached photos. Maybe the nail polish was old? I asked for a nude color but it came out orangey and started to change color at the tips.

I like this place a lot. Probably one of the better nail salons I've been to for the price point. I come here nearly once a month. They are clean and professional and always do a really good job. I get gel which is just 35. They have a wide variety of color options and the technicians are friendly and efficient. The manager of the store is always there, greets everyone and does nails too which I think is impressive. I do recommend calling ahead to make an appointment because then you will be secured a spot.

Nail fell off in water
Bri V.

It was really expensive (86 for dipping and pedicure) they did a fantastic job on my feet, but horrible job on my nails. I chose dipping over acrylic because I didn't want my natural nail destroyed which they did anyway and within three days four nails broke off so it was a complete waste. Essentially, I threw away over 100.00 (with tip) and definitely do not recommend going to this salon.

My favorite nail bar in San Diego! I took a long break from doing my nails before finding Paint…read morenail bar. Other places I found were really toxic for my nails and well being. It's so nice to get your nails done in a place where they don't have to wear masks from the chemicals. I also love how nice they make you feel. They offer coffee, tea, mimosas and juices. They have luxury chairs. I 10/10 recommend!

So disappointed with the incompetent AI booking system and inability by the staff to problem solve…read more I called during business hours to book appts for me and my adult daughter. They didn't answer the phone and instead I received a text to make the appts. The AI could not understand I was trying to make 2 appts for 2 services each. Just basic manis and pedis. I gave up, called the next day and made the appts with a receptionist. She seemed confused as she was booking the appointments and I had to repeat the time I asked for multiple times to her. We confirmed everything twice by the end of the call. When we arrived for our appointments, they said they only had one appt on the books and could not accommodate another. The receptionist questioned whether I had actually made the two appts. and wanted to know who I spoke with. They were more accusatory than helpful. The receptionist stared at us blankly as she could not think of any other options to accommodate. It was not the experience I expected when talking with the person who made the appts. Now that I've read more reviews, I can see I'm not the only person who has problems with their scheduling in general. I had just wanted to spend a nice and relaxing day for my daughter and I, but it felt stressful right off the bat. Luckily the nail salon at the forum could take us, even if we didn't get drinks.
