My partner and I had beautiful gel manicures done. Nice salon and kind staff! Thank you so much

Multiple times I've had poor service where I've had an appointment and have not had a chair available when I arrived, have sat at my appointment for over 30 minutes, and my provider was running late, yesterday was the final straw when I got a pedicure and a fill and she gave me a bill for $105, I proceeded to ask how much my pedicure was ( I got the basic ) and she said it was $55 and then my provider corrected her because I only had a basic pedicure and it was $35, they tried to charge me $20 extra dollars for my pedicure, and I caught them!!! They don't even do that great of a job!!!!! I'm done, giving them my money!! read more

Nails 2000 Plus - One day later.... I'm so upset!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I would give it no stars. The lady who did my nails felt so bad, but how they handled it was not okay. They gave me 2nd degree burns and still made me pay for a pedicure. The lady in the front had no idea what to do. I'm so upset. They should have to check the temperature of the paraffin wax. It was over 120 degrees if not more. I have blisters on other toes too. read more

I've been coming here a long time and have never felt more rushed than I was today. I got a regular mani and pedi at the same time for under 30 minutes. I have short fingernails that just need filing and I barely received that, and when I asked for them to be more filed to smoothen the edges, my technician was annoyed. Their remodel looks really nice but unfortunately this was the last time I will go out of my way to come here. read more

Great place high quality, fast, and very professional. I thought about telling you the name of the specific girl who does my nails, but I'm afraid you'll all overload her and I'll end up without appointments. But I can give you another one who's my favorite as well. Her name is Dina, and she does nails beautifully especially for anyone looking for manicure, builder gel, and similar treatments. read more

Kinda pissed off. I got rushed to pay while letting my nails dry because I was the last client even though they were still open for another 30 min. My nail got messed up trying to get my card out. When they re-did it (regular polish) the nail tech skipped the base coat for some reason and now I have one bubbled rough messed up nail. I wasn't going to ask them to redo it again since a choice was made to skip steps. It's not my first time here and the payment part gets pushed rudely for some reason. I'm a guy so maybe I'm not taken seriously? I don't get it. I always tip 20%+. Other places are more respectful towards clients in my experience. Feels like they're hanging out with each other and I'm just kinda there. Don't like leaving negative reviews, but I haven't enjoyed my experience here. read more

They deleted my last review so I'm rewriting this because I think everyone should know before visiting I'm writing this because my friend was seriously mistreated by this salon--and it resulted in a dangerous medical issue that should never happen from a pedicure. She went in for a manicure and pedicure, and the nail tech cut her toe with what appeared to be unsanitized tools. She did bleed, but was trying to be polite and said it was okay at the time. A few days later, she developed paronychia, a painful bacterial infection that's commonly caused by dirty tools during nail services. She ended up with a fever and only then realized how serious it was. A doctor confirmed the infection and said it could've spread and become life-threatening if she hadn't gotten treatment. She had to go to the hospital, pay out of pocket for antibiotics, and miss work to recover. When she went back to explain the situation calmly, the same nail tech who cut her denied that she bled (which actually confirms she remembered the incident). The staff laughed at her, spoke in another language while she stood there, and refused to take real responsibility. They only refunded her pedicure--not the full service--which is unacceptable. Honestly, a simple apology and some accountability would've gone a long way. She wasn't angry--she just wanted them to acknowledge the situation and make it right. But instead, they chose to be dismissive and disrespectful. This isn't just bad customer service--it's a serious health and safety issue. We've reported the salon to the California Board of Cosmetology and hope they are investigated. Please think twice before going here. No one should risk their health over a manicure and pedicure. Also if you search "infection" in the search bar under there reviews others have gotten infections as well, its been a couple months now since the incident and her toe nail has now grown back.. read more

Visiting my family in the area and came across this salon. I'm so glad I did! The salon was quite busy, which shows how popular it is, but the staff stayed organized, friendly, and attentive the whole time. The atmosphere was lively but still felt clean and professional. I can be really picky when it comes to nail shape and attention to detail, but my nail tech listened carefully and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted. The shaping, color, and overall finish were perfect. Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality work and friendly service! read more

I was a faithful customer of Nails 2000 Plus for about 3 years. Every other week I would go for something called the "Princess package", which is a manicure and pedicure. About a year ago, I decided to bring my two teenage daughters in to treat them to a manicure and pedicure. I noticed that the staff was very rude to them, rough with them and even caused one of them to bleed and didn't apologize. They also acted short tempered with them when they asked a question. I thought this was strange because that's not how I've been treated there at all; I'd always been treated with kindness and respect. I continued to go there every other week and again when the holidays rolled around, I treated my girls there and the same thing occurred!! Both girls were treated like they were vile specimens that couldn't be dealt with! At that same time, my appointment was also rushed through- my manicure and pedicure, which always took about 1 hour and 20 minutes and included a 15 minute leg massage, mask and paraffin to the hands and feet- none of which were completed, took less than 30 minutes and was done incredibly poorly. Ive racked my brain with why this was occurring... maybe they thought the girls weren't going to pay them well (I always pay their bill and tip 20%), maybe they didn't want the extra business, maybe they felt rushed, maybe they were just generally unhappy with life??? I decided then and there that I will never go back and I haven't been back since. read more

I've been going to this nail salon for over a decade, and while the service has often seemed rushed, I've never had an issue getting the service requested. However, today was different. I requested the removal of old gel fingernail polish followed by a basic manicure with clear gel polish. I'm traveling for a few weeks and didn't want color grow-out in the interim. The service start to finish was about 15 minutes. During those 15 minutes, there was constant, and I do mean constant, attempts at upselling services - from a recommended color change that would show grow-out, to an elevated service option worth $30 more, to buffing instead of polish (a $7 upcharge that wasn't disclosed until after the technician completed one nail). Typically, this salon will ask you to remove any rings and/or watch when it is time for the massage. Today, without notice, the lotion was applied and smeared around the watch and over rings, lasting approximately 30 seconds on each hand. I won't be returning because the lack of customer service is severely disappointing. Usually, I get one step lower than the highest end pedicure alongside an elevated gel manicure service, but my service needs today were different than usual. The vibe surrounding my choices were clearly conveyed. read more

My nail tech was very rough with my hands and cut me twice. I requested a different shape tip and it made her very upset and made me uncomfortable for the rest of the service just for speaking up for myself. I do not recommend going here. Hopefully I don't get an infection after being at Nails 2000+. She only gave me $5.00 off for my entire service. read more

This place is so hit or miss. Half the time, the nail technician grinds too hard or is going too fast and pokes my skin to the point where it's bleeding and OUCH it hurts. It's very frustrating. Sometimes the technician is fantastic. Can't say I recommend this place unless their technicians slow down and stop injuring us. read more

Never again. I showed a picture for my nails and they said ok. Halfway through when asking if my nails were ok I said can you make them more pointy, the pointer figure is way sharper than the rest. They said, ok but that's 5 dollars extra because you want pointy. What? You make them uneven? 4 days later the color is coming off already. These are gel x nails. They should last a little longer especially at 70 for a set. read more

Hailey did an amazing job on my nails! I got a French tip with color #129 and I'm obsessed--she absolutely killed it! I got there around 5:45 and the whole team had such a positive attitude. It was a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend her! read more

Outrageous pricing ($20 extra for gel & over $210 for a mani/pedi and one pedi) super loud speaking in another language right after you speak to someone which is very awkward, very poor communication (SO much confusion and back and forth caused over cateye) and overall it was an uncomfortable and not relaxing experience. Going here convinced me to just get press ons honestly. The work was fine but a terrible experience. read more

Came here with my mom and sister. I got gel nails. I had picked out a color when I first came in but when the nail technician took it out to look at the colors we determined that the actual polish was brighter than what the sample had shown. She helped me pick out two more colors that were similar and I decided on the second one. I appreciated the simple cleaning of my nails, filing them down and then applying the polish. No extra shaving down of my nails which I appreciated. No extra massaging or anything like that but I appreciated the simplicity of it all. They had two different cooking shows on their TVs which were really entertaining to watch. I was out within 40 minutes. About $40 for the gel manicure, not including tip. It felt a bit pricey but it's Southern California and the quality was good! Everything dried super fast which I liked. read more

After writing my 4-star review of the business and expressing 5 stars for Renee, I received a nasty text from Renee about my "bad" review and telling me not to come back. Within a couple of days, I found a salon with a more pleasant environment, talented manicurists and no attitude. read more

I came back here again because the first time they didn't do a horrible job. I won't be returning anymore. I showed them the design I wanted for my nails, they told me they don't have the exact gold color on the photo, which I was fine with as long as the design is the same. I had a male technician start my hand first, after preparing my nails it switched to a female, she told me that he cannot do my design. I appreciated the honesty and had trust in her as she was so confident that she can take over. When I had my nail designs in the past, usually the technician will do one nail and make sure that I am happy with the design before doing the entire hand. I believe her name was also Haile? She proceeded to do all my fingers and I can't help but look and make sure it's what I wanted. It didn't look right from the beginning, so I commented. She assured me by telling me it's not finished yet. Time goes by, she never checked with me and completed my nails. I wanted to scream when I saw my hand. I was freaking out internally, but tried to rationalize. maybe it's me? Maybe there's something wrong with my eyes? I paid and still left a generous tip and went to my car. I sat there for 5-10 minutes still in shock. I tried to envision having these acrylic set for 2-3 weeks and asked myself if I would be okay with that. I went back into the salon and apologized for the inconvenience to have them redone. The female technician kept blaming on the difference in color,. However there's ONE nail that looked good, all other fingers were horrible. If all fingers looked like my right thumb I would definitely be happy. So I know it wasn't the color difference. The same female nail tech took off her work and redid my nails. I chose a simple nail color, no design. She rushed through it and now 2 weeks later I have 2 nails that chipped. I have never had ANY nails chip with acrylic in the past countless times I've had it. I went back to have them fix the chip and they charged me for the repair. I would be fine with it if it looked nice, but they can't even do a simple repair right. The nails they fixed looks so odd and obvious, shape is different and color is more opaque. Very disappointing. read more

The worst manicure I've ever gotten. Bumpy,streaky- terrible. I'll need to redo it myself.

I come here very often and request to see Ken. He is always so professional and friendly and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. Plus, he does a very great job every time. I have never had any complaints. To avoid the chaos when you come in because they're always so busy, I recommend scheduling an appointment and requesting Ken because he also usually is booked out. read more

I'm not gonna waste another 1.5hrs. did they do good job at least? I'm pretty sure you find someone with better skill set than them for the same price or cheaper. Not going back. read more

I may have just had a sub par experience. I was getting a short acrylic ombré set done. I told the nail tech that I had to have it skin toned due to my workplace restrictions and my first few nails came out purple looking. The set ended up looking chunky, this is possibly due to the fact I had to have it short. A month later, my nails have never felt so weak. I don't really think I'll get acrylics again, but I may return for normal gel or pedicure just to give a second chance. The plus side is they are quick, and readily available. The salon is large and there are plenty of techs. It is clean and they know what they are doing. read more

There's nothing I love more than walking into a business and the first thing a customer that is walking out, says to me "they are so rude. You shouldn't come here it's the worst nail salon ever". I only came in to get some of my acrylic nails removed urgently and the manager walks by grabs my hand and looks at my nail and says "that's it" . Rude, rude rude customer service behavior. This place has gone downhill since 2016. I don't even know how they're still in business with their terrible service. This isn't my usual nail salon, but I really needed these nails to be removed. I wouldn't recommend this place even for a quick pitstop like I just had. read more
