I absolutely loved this nail salon! The space is super clean, and the staff are so sweet. They were kind enough to fit me in as a walk-in, though I'd recommend making an appointment to be safe. I feel lucky I got in today! Thank you Elly! Also thank you so much for helping me find the color I wanted for my toes .
Went in on Wednesday but didn't realize it was by appointment but they were able to squeeze us in. Told us there was a 30 mins wait so we just walked around the store next door. They took us in before 30 mins so my bf got a manicure and pedicure and I got a full set. The gentleman suggested I do glitter and I'm glad he suggested that. The staff were all so very nice and welcoming. My nails came out so cute and just how I wanted them with shape and length. There is plenty of parking in front. To avoid the wait I would suggest making an appointment. Will definitely be back again soon!
WOW. I mean, just WOW. Annie (nail tech) just kills it every damn time. She is so talented! Any shape and design that you have she can recreate and make look better than the inspo pic!!!! Every time I leave the salon I can't stop staring at my nails and I get compliments on them everywhere I go. The precision, the attention to detail, the speed and steadiness Annie possesses is just top notch. She cleans up my nails fast and it literally feels like nothing. She is highly efficient, which I loveeeeee! She makes it look like she's been doing this since she was a baby. She's just that good. She's literally the best nail tech I've ever had in my life, and trust me, I've been to so many nail salons across San Diego and you won't find better than Annie and the team at MK nails! The Prices are affordable for the quality of work. I do a lot of housework and I am a compulsive hand washer and my nails last 4-6 weeks without polish chipping, no nail lifting, and no broken nails! I could go a full 6 weeks in between appointments, but I just love switching up my nail designs. On top of Annie's great work, she is kind, sweet, considerate, professional, friendly and the greatest nail tech ever. I know I'm hyping her up, but that's only because she's legitimately that good. You have to come here and ask for her, she won't disappoint at all. The other techs Tony and Wee are just as amazing and talented! I've seen their work on clients and their nails come out so beautiful and so clean and I am always in awe of their work as well! Don't forget to try them out for Pedicures! Destiny and Ella give the best pedicures in town! I've only had Annie do my nails so that's why I speak about her. The nail techs here at MK nails are worth tipping well because they offers high quality service. It's been a journey finding a nail salon and a nail tech, but I've been with Annie for a while and I can definitely and confidentially say ANNIE IS THE SAN DIEGO NAIL QUEEN and MK Nails is the best salon in East County/San Diego. If you're reading this, stop searching and book now because you won't find better than these guys! And if you're reading this Annie, just know l'll be back again and again. Thank you for everything and making me feel pretty! Here are just a few of the sets Annie has done for me!
Tony and Annie are so friendly and efficient! My mom gave me a gift certificate to try them out. Gel mani/pedi was exactly what I needed. Tons of massage chairs for pedis, tons of seats for manis. Call ahead and double check they have a free spot...Walk-ins are welcome, but there may be a short wait.
I love this nail salon! The technicians are all very friendly and professional. Tony did my nails and I am so happy with the results. I barely had to tell him what I wanted and he had so many great suggestions about the type of powder and design I should get. Not only is their quality of work fantastic they are also extremely fast and proficient. I made and appointment at 12 pm for a full acrylic set and gel pedicure and I was out of the salon within roughly an hour which is usually unheard of at the other salons I have been to. I believe this salon is typically appointment only but I can definitely understand why since this is such a great salon.
It's been six weeks and my nails are still perfect! No cracks, breaks or peeling! Great quality! All the workers here are amazing! Friendly, efficient, and great prices and overall great quality!
First time ever coming here and I'm very pleased with the results & experience. We walked in, immediately greeted. Everyone was super nice & very welcoming. I went in with my cousin, she was the first to get her nails done cause they were all busy, and I had to wait about 20 mins (which is completely fine with me). I showed & told him what I wanted, and he said "let's do it" so of course I was excited about it. He was gentle with my nails, was making jokes, was sweet, and overall good nail tech, definitely knows what he's doing. My nails were supposed to be originally $55-65 I think.. but I got them for $45 cause they are having a "new management" discount, 15%!! But I would definitely recommend this place!!
Customer service and talent is top notch! I absolutely love MK Nails Everyone here does great work.
Every time I come to them with nail art ideas, they never let me down! This is my regular place for all my nail services.
Wii always does an amazing job with whatever I ask for! He always get the shape right and picks out great colors for me. I've also had pedicures with the ladies and they always do a good job as well. Only place I'll get my nails done!
They are amazing!! I have been getting my nails done here for at least the past 6 months I refuse to go anywhere else! I have never found a nail place as amazing as them! I highly highly recommend. They also have amazing pedicures. They are so kind and can do any design!! Nails gods!
I did a walk in on a Thursday around 5 PM for a pedicure. The service was great, I didn't enjoy the massage chair because I had a various amount of settings. It was quite a peaceful setting since they were not busy at the time and we were able to service me in a timely fashion. read more

I just love this nail salon! The family that runs this place are so incredibly talented! They are so fast, which is needed for my busy life and they are just the kindest and most respectful people! They are always so busy so be sure to book an appointment if you need to get your nails done when you walk through their doors. And if you don't have an appointment, and they cannot take you because they are booked, PLEASE be kind and respectful to them! They would love your business, but if they are booked, they are booked. They respect their clients time too much to take a walk in right before an appointment just to make an extra buck. They strive to be on time and never make you wait when you have an appointment! I am grateful for that because I don't have time to sit and wait when I've made an appointment. And they always do such a fantastic job! Look how beautiful this set is! read more

I've always thought about coming to this nail salon every time I pass it. Today I finally did and I'm SO HAPPY. I have found my new nail tech. The salon itself is clean, bright and the music was a vibe. Tony did my nails and they turned out amazing! I trusted him with the length, the design and they both turned out amazing. And to top it off it was the fastest appointment I've ever had. Never going anywhere else to get an acrylic set, my nails feel the love read more

Ladies (& gents) I cannot say enough about how great this nail salon is. 1000% recommend. I moved here from OC during COVID and tried place after place in East Cty with nothing but disappointment. Lots of high prices and poor quality. This salon is the best of the best! Everyone here is focused on customer service, detail, and pride in their work. They are timely and well priced. Wee is 100% the best. Since coming here, I can go almost 3 weeks between fills with no chips or missing nails. Weekend like all nail salons are busy so appointments are preferred. Please give them a try, I do not think you will be disappointed! read more

And she fixed them perfectly. I was never hurt, big points for that! My pedicure came with a message. It was amazing! This is my spot now!! read more

Tony, Wee and Annie are all amazing. I have been getting acrylics for the past couple years and they do the best work by far! Even followed them to this new location from another salon. They are quick and efficient but still have excellent attention to detail. read more

I requested a few designs on my manicure and got exactly what i wanted. She did amazing on making sure every inch of my nails got product (I've had issues before at other salons slacking on that). Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because she tore up some cuticles but i can overlook it since it's my first time there. Otherwise, it was amazing. read more

I tried out MK Nails after I heard about them in a Facebook group and I am not disappointed. I needed a fill and wanted my acrylics reshaped and they came out great. Also got a pedicure with sugar scrub and the massage was excellent. Will definitely be back read more

MK nails and Spa is hands down the best nail salon I have ever been to. I am so happy the location is so convenient for me. I can confidently say I would travel an hour to get the service and skill level I receive here. There are tons of nail salons everywhere, but this is the first nail salon I have been to that actually specializes in shape and design. You can go in there with an idea and Tony will deliver! Everyone there is an artist. I recommend MK nails to all of my friends and family. I guarantee if you go, you won't leave disappointed. read more

Tony and Annie are amazing with shape and design. Every nail technician does excellent work or Tony wouldn't hire them. Haha They're great with customers! My sister and I only go here and have family go when they're in town. Go here, you won't regret it. read more
