I am from out of town but needed to get my nails done while I was in San Diego, staying down the street. 3 weeks later and I had to leave a review to say how well my gel manicure is holding up! 3 weeks later and not a chip to be found! Service was good, the color was not an exact match to what was in the book but the nail tech offered to do an extra coat to darken the color to be a closer match. Again, very impressed at how well the gel manicure has held up read more

I have been going to the studio for a while and seeing alex who is absolutely amazing! I saw a new technician today and my nails turned out horribly. I told her multiple times I did not like my nails and she wanted to redo them, but I did not have time. I tried to call and ask to be refunded partially on Venmo because she said she would give me 15% back and she demanded that I come back in. The quality of work was 2/10 read more

I came to this nail studio 3 times total in the last 2 years. It's not a cute salon and it's not terribly clean but that's kind of normal in San Diego. The first time I got a pedicure here, about two years ago, it looked terrible and was not relaxing at all, was actually one of the worst pedicures I've ever had. Recently went back for an acrylic fill and the owner did it, did a great job with the shape and gel polish. I went back two weeks later for my next fill with the owner again, he must've been a little stressed because he kept talking about some scam where he sent the wrong person money, I didn't really know how to respond because he kept talking about it. Nails that time were badly shaped and one hand looked different than the other, so I asked if we could even out a couple of them so they're all uniform and pointed out which ones needed to be shortened and which ones were really crooked. He was put out over my requests and said he owns other salons on Coronado and said he's very well known and successful in the San Diego nail space and said salons in general aren't really doing acrylics anymore and I need to do gel instead, I said I didn't want to do that for several reasons and he basically said I'm too picky to be a customer. So I paid and left. No harm no foul, I found a great spot by the ball park. Just was a poor experience here 2 out of the 3 times I went. Poor customer service, nails weren't good and was the furthest thing from a relaxing experience. read more

I recently moved to San Diego and was in search of a new nail place. I initially made an appointment for 10am, but received a call back and asked to move my appointment to 10:30. However, when we arrived at 10:30 it seemed they were not expecting us and thought we were coming at 10. I was surprised to hear this, but miscommunications happen. I would suggest calling to confirm your appointment the day of. My main issue is the quality of my nails, which surprised me given the 4.5 stars rating. I got a basic gel manicure and regular pedicure. My pedicure was rushed through and the coats were uneven. It looked like I did it myself. However, it was the gel manicure that was truly disappointing. As you can see from the pictures there is polish on my hands and fingers and all over my cuticles. The coats again were uneven and some of my skin around my nail is now a pinkish color. Overall, I am very disappointed in the entire experience and that this will not be my new nail spot. read more

Very good service. I didn't catch her name, but she was very thorough and professional. I was out of town and needed a gel fill. I'm very happy with my nails. Great job! read more

Friendly staff and great service! The music inside is also fun and the tv is a great bonus

I was on vacation and I didn't have nail clippers. I decided to pay for a manicure. The old lady tried to upsell me constantly after I told her I wanted a basic. I don't think she can see very well. She mangled me. My fingers were scarred for a week while my skin grew back. I've had maybe 4 manicures in my life. If the others were like this, I would have never gone back go more. read more

I had a horrible time at the nail studio. The nail tech was rushing me and my friend the whole time and didn't even do what I asked for. The only reason this place has 5 star reviews is because he forces you to write one when you leave for a "15%" discount. The discount is exactly what it says they charge on the website read more

I've been to a few nail salons in Downtown, San Diego and this salon has been by far the best. I didn't enjoy the gel color that I initially picked out, but they were quick to correct it and now I LOVE the new color they proposed to me. FANTASTIC prices as well! read more

Quality acrylic gel manicure. Good music. Welcoming setting and vibes. Had no issues getting through to make a same day appointment. Took me right on time. The result was exactly what I had envisioned and asked for. Alex listened to what I wanted and asked me to let him know along the way if I wanted to change anything. He tried out my color and asked my opinion before proceeding (something I really appreciate - it's the little things). I chose gel color 37 which is a sparkly clear/white. He offered to put a white base coat under it if I would like. I decided to do that, and I absolutely love my nails (the color, length, and shape). Alex is enjoyable to chat with and very talented. Thank you for the great customer service & experience. I will definitely be back! read more

Everyone here is the best! I live pretty close and the service is always the best. Service quality vibe is awesome

Lovely nail studio they did such a great job and was very time efficient. Will be back very soon!

Great service! Very fast and great for walk ins. Nice selection of nail polish colors.

Let me start by saying that I was visiting San Diego from out of state and was looking forward to my husband and myself getting a mani/pedi. Everything around us was closing in 45 minutes and I didn't think they would have time, but I called anyway and the woman said they'd love to take us. First impression was that it was hard to find since there isn't a big awning or sign. Just a small neon nail salon sign in the window but we made it there relatively quickly. I didn't let that discourage me since they were kind enough to take us. The woman were all SO FRIENDLY! The prices are cheap compared to what I pay in Minneapolis, so I splurged the extra $10 each and I'm so glad I did! They went above and beyond in every way. I will say hands down it was the best mani/pedi experience I've ever had....and I've been getting them for 20 years. They took they're time and I didn't feel like they rushed me out at all (even thought they stayed an hour late). If you want to get your monies worth, and I mean every single penny, give this place a chance! I only wish they had something this reasonable and detailed in Minneapolis. I'm used to getting half the service for twice the price. Definitely recommend! read more

definitely recommend they do an awesome job! They are reall great with time and very nice !

Very friendly and did an excellent job. My dip manicure is thin and even, unlike some other places that do them too thick/bubbly. They also got me in and out quickly, which I appreciate. Will definitely be going back! read more

Such a phenomenal job! I've been looking for a nail tech for over 2 years and the moment I walked in I was welcome with positive energy and a very sweet owner. At the salon the nail tech was more than happy and very eager to see a photo. He hand painted the design and literally got the picture spot on from what I wanted! I highly recommend this place! read more

I was visiting town and desperately needed my nails done. He did a great job! Got dip and a pedicure.

Friendly staff. Excellent Manicure and pedicure. My no chip lasted 3 weeks on my nails! I live in Chicago and am coming back into town and purposely have waited to get my mani pedi there! read more

The place was so hard to find, but worth the wait. They welcome walk-ins and that was helpful. There were not s lot of people (patrons or workers), but it was clean. The woman who did my nails was friendly and she did an awesome job cleaning my cuticles, trimming the nails and buffing. The massage was great! I would go back her for that alone. I'd even go in for a manicure and I've never had one of those. I asked for clear coat polish, but that was my mistake. I could see a lot of the lines and streaks in my nails. It seemed like she rushed through this part. After taking her time with everything else, she raced through the polish. Men: just get the buff and shine Women: you know what you'll like and I'm sure she'll do great. read more

I mean it wasn't a BAD experience by any means. Just not what I asked for. I wanted almond black nails and that's what I left with. It just wasn't HOW I wanted them. I asked for dip powder ($40), but got acrylic ($40) with black gel (+$20). Nail tech I think was the owner was extremely nice, I'm just not someone who typically speaks up so I let it go. I just wish I didn't spend $75 on something I didn't ask for when it could've been $40. AND no drinks? Eh, I'd go back if I HAD to but I'd probably look elsewhere. read more

It was ok, the tech that did my pedicure did a whatever job in terms of the scrubbing, and massage. My manicurist was great, really enjoy her. read more

I came in for the first picture. And you could see the shitty lines from not blending so she tried to paint just the bottom with a random color and it didn't work but she tried to say it's done. I asked her to cover it up because it looks bad and then she did this. Not the right shape, length, no ombré like I wanted. Just this pink color painted poorly on and nails with terrible edges. Now having to get them removed and start over. All this took 2 HOURS. On the phone they told me $40. Then she tried to charge me $51. I complained and she charged me $41.... don't ever come here. I only tried it because everything is closed on Sundays. Also they don't wear masks until you ask. And gloves they tried to do the same. Poor sanitizing, poor quality, dirty room, poor customer service. Want to waste money and your day? You found the right 'salon' Update. This is what they charged me read more
