Great staff anservices if someone knows how to get a held of Tina, please let me know, thank you

I was in a hurry to get a mani/pedi and they had availability so I stopped by (first time). Not only was I waiting for someone to attend me for a while, but one of the techs kept yelling for one of the other techs in the back to finish up their lunch. While I was getting my French manicure, the nail tech asked if the thickness was okay. I asked for thinner and she was visibly annoyed. She asked me again if it was okay, and I said thinner. She was super annoyed, when she asked again, I just let it go. But they were so uneven and thick. Not only that but the rest of them were on their phones and one of them even too a nap on the massage chair. I also noticed they charged me more than what was listed on their service menu. When they left me to dry my nails, Nobody checked up on me for at least 30 mins. I had to ask if I could go. Never again. They did a carelessly HORRIBLE job and were unprofessional and inattentive. read more

They're so kind and caring here. You feel taken care of. Not like a rushed assembly line. I've been coming here 20 years and I can't believe they're being pushed out by a large developer -- the whole shopping center will close Oct 31st. Kasey and all the ladies here are amazing and very good at their craft. I hope they get to sustainably move on to another salon after end of next month. They rock! read more

Disappointing!! For one thing... gal wore her mask below her nose whole time. Also... no temp checks on patrons. Second, my callus treatment was garbage and that's one of main reasons I come for pedi. The photo is taken after that and paraffin wax treatment. So for callus treatment... all they did was put gel on one a hard sponge and scrub... that's it!! Both feet still felt rough. That wasn't worth $6! Really the whole deal was overpriced. If you are gonna charge per service, at least make it worth the fee! Lastly, after I expressed my disappointment about callus, the girl proceeded to talk to a co-worker in a foreign language . Obviously it was about what I said. So unprofessional! read more

Carol is the BEST so friendly and does such an amazing Job:) I'm super picky with my acrylics and she does them perfectly, not too thick!!! read more

Such a nice shop was recommended by a nice lady I met in the parking lot at Windmill Farms. Best nail place in San Diego. I love Kristie but everyone there is very good at their craft. So worth it in every way. Glad it was recommended to me. read more

I have been to Mission Nails twice before, but the last time was at least a year ago. I decided to go back last weekend, because I remembered that they did an amazing job. I was honestly disappointed, as they really seemed to do a pretty adequate 3-star job, and nothing more. First, I will say that the ladies were super friendly, which is great, as sometimes the manicurists are a bit crass ...and often don't go out of their way to be friendly. I also loved the fact that they had many gel colors to pick from. I was disappointed though as I feel that they didn't have many colors of regular polish for met to pick from for my toes. I was slightly taken aback when they started to use the electric sander to remove my gel (murder for my natural nails). I asked her to stop and she agreed. My nails did look good, but the color on my nails looked way more clear than it did on the sample, so I was a bit disappointed about that. I allowed myself to be talked into the "deluxe" pedicure. I almost never let myself be up sold for pedis, but I really was in need of a good foot massage. They did do the massage, callous remover, and salt scrub, but unfortunately the massage was not great and they did it with the salt scrub on, which is not really the most relaxing massage. All in all, my nails look fine and my experience wasn't bad. I probably just won't go out of my way to return. read more

Very friendly staff in a very comfortable environment. Typically it would seem awkward to be a man in one of these locations. Nonetheless, Tina makes it very nice to have a pedicure. My feet are definitely a train wreck and she does her best to revitalize them. I have been going to this location now well over two years and never had a bad experience. due to how terrible my feet are I go every other week and she's as friendly each time she was the last. read more

I've tried 5 nail salons in the Grantville area and this salon is the BEST. Super friendly, great work. Price is par with the others too. Very happy I walked in here. read more

Sadly, I have to change my review from five stars to two. The ladies in the salon are absolutely amazing and sweet, but the gel manicures and pedicures they do are not up to par the last three visits I've had. I got my pedicure and gel nails done 12 days ago and half of them have already come off and my toenails have chipped. I think it's the fact that they do like 4 coats of gel on your nails which is way too thick! The last three times I've got my nails done here I spend a ton of money only to have them last for a little over a week which is insane. I think they need to put less coats of gel on because 4 is way too many. Even three is in my opinion. I'm sad to say that I probably won't go back here and spend over $70 to have them last for less than 2 weeks. :( read more

Though I've been coming here for close to eight years I've never been happier than today to see all the regulars back on the floor. Purely a reflection of the strength and resilience of refugees determination to succeed. Salon, owner Carol is a true professional and leads by example Everyone of the women who work in this salon are hardworking and do great work. Today, Tina went above and beyond to give this Padre fan a walkoff home run. Thank you Tina! read more

I've been to this place multiple times and have never had an issue. Today my manicure was done in about 15 minutes and the lady was going so fast that she cut me pretty bad that it wouldn't stop bleeding the entire time. My cuticles and skin around the mail was also very poorly cleaned up. Will not be returning especially since I paid full price for something I could have done myself. read more

I came to Mission Nails looking for a nail spot closer to my new place in the College area. I was pretty impressed by the salon! Will definitely come back. Pro: - Clean and proper salon! - New machine chairs. - Mature manicurist's with great personalities!! Thank you Kim & Lee. - Great job on both Gel manicure & pedicure! - I thought it was cool how certain items that they used on my nails and toes, they put in a ziplock bag (nail file, buffer, toe separators) and give to you to bring back next time. So gives me a piece of mind knowing that each tools are new. Con: - This is an extremely busy shopping center with a small parking lot, so be ready to search non stop for a spot. - I'm not sure about the quality of the gel polish, they didn't provide the names on the samples. I'll see how long the polish lasts since I just got them done today. read more

I returned back to Mission Nails only this time for a full acrylic set with gel polish. Tina serviced me and she was absolutely wonderful. Not only did she do a good job on my nails but was very friendly and sociable. I visit multiple nail salons because I choose which ones can take me the soonest and immediately came back to the shop after leaving from Pacific Nails & Spa on Broadway because a rude nail tech there practically kicked me out and refused to continue doing my nails after I told her that the shape was uneven and crooked (*sigh*). Good thing Tina from Mission Nails was able to do my nails evenly with no issue. I highly recommend going to Mission Nails if you like fair prices and good customer service, which many businesses seem to lack nowadays especially after the pandemic started. read more

I have been to mission nails a few times and have always been underwhelmed, but today will be my last visit. I frequently do my own nails and I was reminded why when I went in for a spa pedicure today. The floors were not clean and I had to say no to the same up-sells multiple times. I don't like being pressured into buying things I don't want while I'm trying to relax. To top it off I left limping because my "relaxing" foot massage was so painful it left a bruise on the ball of my foot. I shouldn't have to ice my foot after paying for a service. That being said, I've heard good things about Christy, but I personally won't be coming back. read more

I struggle to find a good nail place I have tried a lot and expensive once too. But look no more I found the one. A older woman named Tina assisted me and let me say Tina did a amazing job fixing my nails. You even receive your own nail filer and buffer to take with you and bring back when you come back to get a refill. My pedicure was done by someone else, they could do a bit better. But my nails look so so good I been getting compliments left and right. The place is not to new but it does an amazing job. I recommend if you need a new nail place, give this one a shot! read more

I went there for my first time today because a nearby salon I usually went to (won't anymore) couldn't take me in for mani-pedi. Blessing in disguise because my experience at Mission Nails was MUCH better. This is where I will go from now one. Kasey and Tina are so talented and kind. It was so relaxing and I am very happy with my nails! read more

I have had many pedicures and this nail shop is top notch. Everything is very clean, they take out instruments that have been sanitized and are in a package, and they social distance. The woman who gave me the pedicure was very gentle, gave a great leg massage and did an overall great job. I highly recommend it. read more

All I can say is do not go to mission nails! Literally the worst nail service I have ever received. The woman that did my nails was very rough when she cut my cuticles. It hurt! She painted my nails very sloppily then smudged them with her own hands and had the audacity to ask me "what happened?" The pedicure was done by someone else and she did a good job but the my big toes got smudged when I put on my sandals. That was my own fault but after waiting 30 minutes past my appointment time already and having my nails repainted I had to go back to work. Normally they put my shoes back on for me but not this time. I'll be going to another nail shop tomorrow to get my big toes repainted. I want a refund! The amount of frustration is unfortunately NOT refundable. read more

I have been searching for a decent nail salon in the area for more than a year. My search is over!!! I love this salon. I came in for gel polish change just to try it out. Carol, the owner, is super nice and a perfectionist. In the past a simple service like this would get rushed and done in a sloppy manner so the could move on to the next client. She really took her time making sure my nails looked amazing. The salon is very clean and quiet. No loud yelling throughout as with my previous salons. They just moved into this new, larger location. Everything looks very new and clean. And you can tip on your credit card!! The other customers looked very happy and relaxed. I can't wait to go back this week for a pedicure !! **update: came back for a pedicure. Still very happy! Comfy spa chairs with good massager. My toes look great! My nails still look great too!! read more

I've been to plenty of nail salons until my sister introduced me to Cindy here at Mission Nails. She is so awesome! Cindy's work is beautiful and she's a very nice manicurist!

Make suree to book an appt she's a busy gal. read more

Just moved to the area a few months ago and was in need of a new nail salon. I saw they were highly rated so I started going and I am super happy I found this place! Tom does my nails and I never want anyone else to touch my nails again. He does such an amazing job and pays attention to detail. Everyone there is super friendly and they treat you like a person not just another fill-in. read more

I am a regular customer at mission nails and here is why: they do more then just paint your nails, they give you the whole deal. The girls are nail doctors if you will. They know and use techniques to give you healthy nails while making them look and feel amazing. The services they offer are relaxing and perfect for any occasion; a girls day, preparation for an event, I've even taken my father there for father's day! The ladies are Vietnamese, and sometimes hard to understand if you do not listen to them. However, they have no problem repeating themselves. They are very sweet and give you the same respect you give them. If you have a short amount of time to get your nails done I would ask them if you can be done by a certain time. I also advise calling ahead as they do get very busy, but they will fit you in! Women, men, children and everything in between are welcomed. I hope you have as great of an experience as my family and I have had. read more

Absolute best service!! Kim is amazing and so patient and helpful! Helped me choose colors and was so kind!! Wouldn't go anywhere else read more

My friend and I went to Mission Nails to get our nails done for graduation. All of the nail techs were so friendly as soon as we walked in. Carol did both of our nails, and she even recommended the coffin shape for me because of my nail type. We will definitely be coming back here because of how amazing our nails look and because of the wonderful people and atmosphere:) read more

***Cindy has her own shop now in Mira Mesa called US Nails. My reviews will lead you to Her. Follow her***** Cindy has done my nails and toes for 14 years! Hands down the best around for simple, beautiful manicures and pedicures. She's decent with designs but I'm not into that. Tina gives great massages with your pedicure. She's my backup if I need to get done quickly by having my hands and feet done at the same time. Clean. Newer equipment. Great massage chairs. Calm, spa music. A bit costly with gel, but worth it to me. read more

Pretty disappointed in my experience here. They were cheap and quick, but the woman who helped me (didn't get her name), cut my finger once. I could understand it, dry cuticles and all. But then when she was using the file she cut the nail bed on my big toe! Now, for the first time ever, I've got an infected toe from my pedicure. She slapped some liquid on it that burned, so I assume it was an antiseptic, but never told me what it was or said anything about the cut. Pretty disappointing and frustrating. Pedicure does look cute but my manicure only lasted a couple days. Wouldn't go back, not a fan of infection. read more

I found the most amazing nail shop!! Prices are great and the service is awesome!! I love my nails!! Thank you!!! Ask for Carol!! Update- 9/5/2016 I called several times to get an appointment with Carol again and was told Carol didn't work there anymore even though I saw she was still there when I passed by. There's room for improvement where customer service is involved! My experience with Carol doing my nails was great. read more

Nice clean salon, all the ladies are very friendly and will engage in conversation with you. All tools are individuals packages with a seal and you get to keep some of the items- they will place them in a plastic bag for you to bring back! The color selection is ok, if you have a specific color in mind you might be better off bringing it to them. Overall this a great place to get your nails done and they are quick! read more

I've experienced way better!! My sister and I decided to look for a nail place closer to us and through great reviews, were led to Mission Nails. We arrived for our appointment and my sister's gel manicure was started much earlier than me (a pet peeve as this always leaves one of us waiting a while for the other to finish). We both got gel manicures. Her girl was soft spoken and looked uneasy as she did my sisters nails and it certainly showed in the final product. There was polish all around my sisters nails that the girl attempted to take off only AFTER my sister said something to her. Not even a week later, two of my sisters nails have completely chipped. An older woman did my gel manicure and did a nice massage. Overall, the manicure does not look bad although she filed my nails uneven... some round some square... and did not apply a thick enough coat of the polish because I can already see peeling in certain areas. Overall, we were pretty disappointed. We would rather make the drive to Mission Hills to get a service far superior than this. They gave us a ziplock bag of a nail file and polisher to bring back. Return? Highly unlikely. If you are at all particular about your nails and have high expectations of service, do not come here. read more

There's a guy next to me getting a pedicure. No - really - there is. Nobody has flinched or said a word either - hey wait, another guy just walked in? I'm talking early 30's surfing/casual looking guys. (I'm pretty sure they play for my team too. ) Hmmmmmmm - That's cool though. I think feet are ugly so I strongly encourage EVERYBODY to get pedicures. If some guy next to me wants to better the world by getting his done then right on!!!! The salon just got a make-over which is cool. Huge whirlpool tubs attached to massage chairs for pedicures. All cleaning and sterilization instruments are visible. Any kind of manicure you want including acrylic and gel nails. These ladies are fast and accurate. Their chatter doesn't make me paranoid even though my friends laugh and say they talk about all of us while we're getting serviced. Call me naive, but I just don't care. Each customer has their OWN little box that they bring to each appt. The little plastic tote has a few files, dremmel files, and those little toe holders. Initially it cost me $2.50 but I'm all for sanitation, so that's okay. They can airbrush your french manicure on you if you want to go that route, if not then hit up the wall o' color or bring your own. Credit cards accepted with a 50 cent additional charge. Parking- hit or miss. In the same shopping center as Souplantation so if you have an appt from 11:30a-1p you're screwed!!!!! Plan ahead. When I can't make it up to Bergamot in North County, "Truong" aka Cindy takes great care of me. read more

I've been going here for over 6 years. It's totally out of the way for me but I think it's worth it. I ventured to Costa Verde Nails in La Jolla once and totally regretted it! The girl at CVN didn't know how to do a pink and white fill. She took OVER AN HOUR to fill my nails, and kept Up-selling me. I ended up with really thick, uneven nails. And it cost me $80 after all her little upsells. So I will NEVER cheat on Mission Nails again! Cindy and Carol (the owner) do a really great job with pink and white fills. Danny (Carol's husband) does an amazing job, and usually works on Saturdays. I'm lucky to have 3 people I can trust to do my nails well. They make the nails pretty and narrow, and not too thick. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes for a pink and white fill. For just a regular fill I can get in and out in 15-20 minutes. Not bad! Donna is really great for a pedicure. I didn't really like "Lee" because she was a little rough with the massage. Overall the ladies at Mission Nails are really great. I tip them well because I don't know where I would get my nails done if they weren't in business. They are polite, and no, they don't badmouth customers in Vietnamese. Definately stay away from those fancy looking nail salons. It's all about finding the right PERSON, not the right PLACE. :) read more
