Beetlejuice nails
Lindsay M.

When you go to Mimosa Nails, do yourself a favor and book an appointment ahead of time with Katie. She is the QUEEN of designs. This is not my first time going to her, and it will certainly not be my last. Last time, I wanted 90s whimsigoth nails, and they were perfect. I was so impressed, I even brought my best friend with me when I went again yesterday for girls day. We got Halloween nails done - I wanted Beetlejuice and my bestie wanted Mothman. We gave Katie full creative freedom, and this is what she came up with! Her prices are fair, her talent is astonishing, and she's super fun to hang out with while getting a fresh set in a clean, accommodating, comfortable salon.

Summer sunset French

Made a last minute appt and got in right away on a Friday. The place was busy and plenty of staff to accommodate. I got a double French, paid $17 extra for that. I loved how it came out. Katie was my tech and she was sweet, conversational, made sure she understood what I wanted and was clear and efficient. My pedicure was done simultaneously. In and out in 1hr for both. Fantastic.

I've been coming here since August and Katie never disappoints. She's always so friendly and accommodating. I've gone from French to ombré and now design. She's a real pro and an artist with nails

Freehand design by Katie

Katie is literally the best nail tech ever. She talks to you the whole time, is extremely focused on detail and makes you feel welcome and invited. Her freehand designs are next level. So lucky I found her and this amazing spot!

I have gotten my nails done a few times now at Mimosa Nails by Katie and will continue to return because of her. She is extremely talented and a great artist. I've loved every set I've gotten. The salon is clean and friendly. Great experience.

hair in my nail

i loved the service the people were so nice and sweet but my nails came out messy. the polka dots in my nails look rushed and the polish is already chipping. i understand that regular polish won't last long but a i've had regular polish before and it's lasted longer. i'm a teen so i'm not that active and my sport is dance so i'm not rough on my nails. i got these done yesterday and they are chipping a lot. i love the people but the nails did not satisfy. and i paid 75$. katie was super nice. she did my toes. other wise wasn't too satisfied with my nails . when the other woman did my hand she was rushing to get them done then left and sat in the corner scrolling . there is also a ton of crack lines on my nails. was frustrated abt my experience.

Had a good experience here at Mimosa Nails!! My Nail Technician was Katie and she did such an awesome job with my nails! She was really sweet too and very fun to talk to! I also got a complimentary water bottle while she did my nails! Very relaxing ambiance as well! I gave Katie two designs to base off of and she really went above and beyond on this set I love it so much and it really screams me so excited to show them off for my 25th Birthday If yall are looking for a creative and artistic nail tech who can paint your favorite disney/cartoon characters for this upcoming Halloween Katie is your girl!!! Thanks again Katie

I have to say this is the BEST place in Carmel Mountain / Poway surrounding area. Staff is super friendly with a positive vibe, the best part is they remember your name so it's like family. For my nails I see Katie love her love her. Her IG nails_with_katie268

I think they were tired towards the end of the day. The full set took a lot longer than I thought…read moreand maybe it was because I was getting a pedicure as well so the angle of my arms weren't ideal? Idk. Kevin was friendly and nice. Mindful enough to ask if I spoke Vietnamese esp. when another coworker asked why my son did his nails and he thought maybe I heard lol. There's always one in each shop... My nails turned out great but the details underneath the nails get to me since it wasn't cleaned. I would've asked but the worker seemed definitely tired so I just didn't bother. Massage chairs were great though and I would still come back.

I usually have a different nail salon I frequent, but when they are too busy for me, I cheat on…read morethem occasionally. I tried Chroma once before & it was fine, but my second time here was great. I saw Rose (who I recommend for great pedi massages). She worked quickly but really focused on my massage for me. I asked her do my heels & this woman delivered medium strength the whole massage. I will absolutely ask for Rose again when I come back. This salon has been very busy both times I came, so just prepare a bit for a wait, even if you call in advance or have an appointment. To me, I do not mind waiting a little bit if they are busy, as I get my pedi only when I know I do not have a tight schedule to follow. I would recommend this salon, and I would especially recommend Rose. Bring cash for tips (which I usually fail at doing) or pay tips via Venmo.

I have been getting my nails done with Andy for years! He's a true artist and never disappoints!!…read more Also love the atmosphere in the salon!

Dear Andy, Thank you…read morefor the value and care you poured into our appointment time. First, you educated me on my gel nail art manicure, which needs to grow out. Only acrylic nail sets get filled. Second, you agreed that a Waterless Pedicure is best for my skin due to eczema situation around the foot and left ankle. You are my Happy Accident Andy!! Ladies, when I called the phone number, I was mortified that I awoke him at 6:30 am. when he picked up his phone. I made my appointment for Friday at 1 pm. In full disclosure, I am a direction dummy who can't find new places even when sent a map. He was so patient with my getting lost off Carmel Mountain Rd. This road is Retail on Steroids, in a thoughtful way... So Andy is waiting for me in the short lobby area of Sola Salons store front adjacent to Rubios Fish on the corner building. All the rooms have glass for transparency and noise cancellation. He was so loving when I told him I needed a moment to reset after Frustration finding him!! He holds the Holy Grail for Business Service communications. He is a graduate of San Diego City College Cosmetology program. He travels throughout the country as Instructor, Trainer with Live Demos. Andy will guide and educate you about your skin and nails and interpret your needs based on Body and Face reading, which comes from the Eastern Canon of Healing Medicines. The salon room is clean, decorated in white with black trim and sized for one on one appointments. No more service in a room full of Bodies. I know we are post Covid, but his attention to detail in sanitation, customer care, and positive luxe vibes are priceless. So make an appointment to consult and receive feedback from Andy for yourself!! Girls Day can be performed at any nail salon with 10-20 chairs. I support and recommend wholeheartedly. I have received so many more goodies from the consultation than the basic snacks and canned Kirkland Sparkling flavored water from the glass door refrigerator. Super Kawaii:)) Andy is so humble mannered, which makes me want to toot his brass trumpet "from the rooftops of the world." I hope you can Win/Win when your appointment time comes up on your calendar. I guarantee you will feel restful and joyful after your service has been rendered. The salon is on point for Feng Shui, and I was spared the statue of the ubiquitous paw dropping Cat at the front desk. Less view of staff lunches and incense sticks with fruit bowls. He also recommends the next window of time for follow-up based on the work he has given you. Andy, Thank you for your menu of services and style of business. May you grow, develop, and continue on your path of training and trust building. We are so lucky to have you in the San Diego (Poway) area. May the Lord bless you and your soon to arrive little boy:)) Haley

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt this one was well deserved…read more My wife and I came in together and had such a great experience with Jackie. I had a pedicure with a massage that was incredibly relaxing, and my wife had a dip manicure that came out beautiful. The quality of Jackie's work really stood out -- clean, precise, and very well done. What impressed us most is that Jackie does an amazing job and she's very efficient. As working professionals, we truly appreciate being able to get top-quality service without spending all day at the salon. That alone makes us want to come back. The spa itself was very clean and comfortable, and Jackie was so pleasant and professional throughout the entire visit. Just an all-around great experience. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be returning.

I've been to this salon approx 6 times before without issue, which is why this visit was so…read moredisappointing. From the start, the service felt rushed and unwelcoming. The technician doing my pedicure was noticeably rude and kept commenting that I wasn't "relaxed enough," which was frustrating given the environment. I was seated right next to someone having their nails filed, and the dust was blowing onto my area, including my purse and the coffee I brought in, I had to keep everything in my lap (I commented about the dust flying all over my things they did nothing to help the situation) They began my manicure and pedicure at the same time, and both felt hurried. Toward the end, one of my nails was uneven, and when I asked for it to be fixed, the response felt annoyed rather than accommodating. (They did not fix it properly just painted over the issue area.) The pedicure technician was apparently angry I asked the manicurist to fix my nails so she ripped my toe separators out as fast as she could and gave me a dismissive look, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. This was a very unpleasant visit and uncomfortable I have never been treated so rudely during a nail service. I will not be returning to this establishment. That's a lot of money to spend to somebody treat you so rudely. I hope management takes steps to improve both the service quality and overall customer experience.

I was looking to try gel x but after talking with Tiffany she recommend hard gel to keep my regular nail and build from there. It was perfect because I didn't need the additional length. I typically do square but a nail had broken and she asked if it would be okay to reshape. I'm so happy that we did that. This shape feels more natural than the square. I also saw the artwork she had up at her station and asked if she could do a Valentine's design. I think she did a great job and I would be happy to come in again! I had another shop I was loyal to but the quality had been declining and I decided to try out AO Nails. I'm so happy that I decided to give this shop a try. I've found my new go to nail spot. This place is clean, bright and airy and the decor is too cute. Definitely check them out for quality nail care.

I was excited to try out this new local nail spot in Poway based on the reviews, and the fact that…read morethey advertise as being able to do hard gel nails. First, the positives, I was able to make an appointment the day before, and was seen a few minutes after my appointment time. The color options are phenomenal and there's a lot to choose from. Unfortunately, my nails did not look great after my service. They were uneven and had multiple, small air bubbles throughout. Immediately after my service I was asked by a friend if I had done my nail's myself. For $65, I would prefer my nails to look professionally done. Particularly jarring, as my service ended I lifted up my arm to see a toenail sized finger nail belonging to someone else attached and embedded into my forearm. One, it's pretty gross to have another persons nail stuck to you for an hour, and two, it genuinely made me question the sanitation in place. This was not a small nail, and a quick wipe down between customers would have taken care of the issue-- so what other corners are being cut? Within a few days each nail had chipped at the tips, with my pointer finger having a small corner of the nail itself come off completely. I left for a vacation the day after my service and did receive a text a few days after (unprompted) letting me know I was still within my 7 days policy of getting the nails fixed, but at that point I was out of the country. I'm not sure if this is just an industry standard in 2026, but there isn't really a "manicure" aspect here either-- no cuticle care, or real foundational nail care before or after applying polish. Just a very rough removal of the previous layers and a new coat of hard gel/polish. For the price, I would have liked to receive a fundamental manicure prior to polish. But, on this point, I will do my due diligence to inquire what's included in the service before booking future nail appointments elsewhere. My final point of contention is that my nail tech inquired about my personal life (totally fine, and encouraged! I love to chat), but then made an unwarranted and rude comment in response to my answer. I hesitated to include this part of my review because sometimes misunderstandings happen--but it didn't really feel like a conversation and more like a size up of a stranger that left me feeling uncomfortable. I don't typically leave reviews, unless I can support and encourage a small business, but between the stray nail, the conversation, and the longevity/quality of the work done, this moment has been sitting on my mind in the almost two weeks since my appointment.
