    French tip full set
    Casper W.

    OK so I came here to get a French tips full set and a pedicure. I paid $50 for some crappy work that was done on my nails and I explain to them that I was getting married on Valentines. I told the lady I needed them short for my job so I can tape she did not listen my nails are superlong and then she cut my finger when she was grinding my nails and this was the mother of I think the lady's name was Tiffany. I told them if I could pay through my phone I was given Attitude and Tiffany told me to Zelle her the money. This place is a waste of space and money . I will Never return and give my Hard earned money to these people

    i was in desperate need of a mani & pedi and got these beauties. the ladies here are so kind :) i was able to sit back & enjoy my free time in a nice quiet environment. not to mention how i love their work & will definitely be coming back!! i got gel mani for $40 & pedicure for $30

    The green nails are perfect

    This is a small shop but I prefer it just like that the owner Amy and her daughter are kind human beings and from what I saw these last couple of times I've been there customers really get along with everybody who works there. Amy has been doing my nails these last couple of times and I love how she's a perfectionist she's fairly fast but she also make sure that she does it right, I love that. I also love the mother and daughter dynamic if the mom doesn't understand a trend her daughter will figure it out. I posted two times she did my nails

    I been coming here for about 6 months. There the best. I drive from Oceanside to Escondido because is the best service I ever got. I looked for about 4 years till a friend told me about this place. Lan is my girl I love her service. Thank you

    Photo for inspiration which I asked since the beginning if it was possible and she clearly said yes

    I visited this place because I thought it had almost 5 stars you'd think that means they do a good job but I have had the worst experience. I asked for them to remove my acrylic nails thinking they would let them soak but to my surprise they just ripped them off. I paid $50 for a manicure with a design that was nothing like what I asked for, and once I showed her an inspiration photo she made faces at me because I am guessing it was close to closing time. I honestly do not recommend I recently moved her to Escondido and was hoping to find my permanent nail salon since I love getting my nails done. This is definitely not it.

    Went for a brighter fuchsia this time! Very summery! Love them! Just so pretty! :)

    I went and got a gel manicure yesterday! (7/30/19) I may not be a regular but I always come back here to get my nails done because all the ladies are simply the best!! I didn't get her name but she was so thorough making sure all my nails were filed to the same length and shape! They turned out absolutely perfect!

    I love this place I drive to Escondido from Oceanside. Is so worth it. They take there time. Lan is the Best. All the girls are wonderful

    The gel color is Cool Gray. Number 404.

    I moved to Escondido and needed to find a new nail place. This shop is one minute from my house; it would be too good to be true for it to be the best place in town. Well I'm sure that it is. Customer service here is top notch. It is very comfortable and welcoming. Every staff member is friendly and smiling. Nail technicians are professional and experienced. I came in for an acrylic fill and gel. My nails were a total mess: way grown out, cracking, pinky nails broken off, etc. My nail technician was Tran. I watched him literally build my nails back with acrylic. He was very thorough and detail oriented. The whole service took maybe an hour, due to him give special attention to each nail and taking his time hand shaping them. I have never been more happy with a set of nails. The shape is perfect. The gel application is flawless. I was so happy with this place I came back in the afternoon a few hours later for a spa pedicure.

I sent my mom a list of places and the first option they were automatically rude due to us not having an appointment scheduled. This ended up being where we ended up and it couldnt have gone any better than it did. They greeted us warmly and although they were busy they told us to give them a few minutes and they'd be right with us. Not 5 minutes later were we getting our nails done. They offered us a drink while we wated. My mom opted for the green tea and I had a Mimosa. Tony treated my mom so well,she's been having an issue with one of her nails and he paid attention and made her hands look stunning. I had Mary and she was the sweetest. She did such an amazing job. We went back this weekend and this time around my mom was helped by Tony and Holly and I got Amy. This is an amazing place to go. They stay busy consistently because although we had an appointment mannn did they have clientele. They are always so sweet and pleasant. My mom and I will definitely be returning.

The owner is nice and the young girl who answers phones and checks clients in. However after yesterday I will no longer be going back. I brought my best friend with me, it was her first visit there. She had Jimmy as her technician. When she asked if he could clean up around the nails and underneath, he threw a fit like a toddler would. He said he wasn't comfortable doing her nails, got a big attitude. Then I stepped in because my friend wasn't going to ask again. Well then Jimmy and I got into it. He called me a bitch, was so rude and unprofessional. I'm disappointed in how the owner reacted. Jimmy needs to be fired for his lack of professionalism. There was no solution to his poor behavior. Jenny is great and if she moves salons I'll see her again but I refuse to go back to a place that treats and allows their employees to act that way. There should have been a discount or something given for the poor experience. But nope nothing, $140 later for two sets of nails. Ridiculous lol My response to the lack of ownership this owner has taken: That's funny, because that's not what you were saying during the service. You repeatedly apologized to both my best friend and me. This was her first time here, and even you acknowledged the experience was unacceptable and apologized for it. I was personally hugged and told "sorry" for the incident, and you even stated that you would handle the situation accordingly. If you have the video, that's great, it will reflect his behavior exactly as I stated from the beginning. As a business owner, especially after having a loyal customer for years, your response here only shows a complete lack of professionalism.
