    5 stars for Mina!!!!! Today was my first time seeing Mina. She is the nicest and most thoughtful…read morenail tech I've ever had. She did a full set and they are my most favorite set I've had done. She constantly checked in with me to make sure I liked my nails and was comfortable. On top of the amazing customer service, her prices are unbeatable. I will for sure be a regular of hers

    If I could give zero stars I would. She does nails in a dark room of her run down El Cajon…read moreapartment and all of her stuff is very unprofessional. I walk in and she has me sit in this uncomfortable chair and put my feet in one of those foot bath things with massagers in them you can buy on Amazon (I have one at my house) and then has me prop my feet up on this wobbly wooden black table while she paints them. Her UV light doesn't work so she uses a handheld one that is one single little UV light so she has to hold it over each individual toe one at a time to cure them. And she painted my toes and then had me soak and did a foot scrub? I feel like this could have messed up the polish she just did. It was hot in there. Oh and she was in her pajamas and there were random men doing construction in her living room while I was there. And her own painted nails looked awful so I didn't think mine would look any better if I let her try. And I don't know whether the tools she used on me were even sanitized or not. It was all so weird and I was so uncomfortable that I left as soon as I could. Do not go here unless you want an unprofessional and uncomfortable experience in someone's rundown apartment. 0/10.

    Found Sing completely randomly maybe 7yrs ago when she was renting a space in the back of a barber…read moreshop in La Mesa. I am ridiculously picky and was really frustrated by all of the 'pump and dump' nail salons out there. I may have just made up that term but most places do a super half-assed job in express mode. Well, I work with my hands and whatever I pay for a manicure...it needs to last. I was ecstatic to connect with Sing. Her level of detail was/is unparalleled. At the time I was only tending to my nails very sporadically. When I called to schedule an appointment I learned that she had opened her own place in Spring Valley. It's a farther drive for me but 100% worth it. Since finding Sing I will not go to any other studio regardless of price or convenience of location. In the last few years I have also become equally comfortable with Marie. These two ladies are 100% legit with their craft. Schedule an appointment.

    Wished I had taken more pictures, but this is one of my favorite nail salons! The decor is so cute…read moreand aesthetically appealing. The polishes they have are so cute and I love their punny names! The staff are all friendly and all pay attention to detail when it comes to nail art. Sing Sing is usually my "go-to" nail tech and she somehow always manages to get my nails to last long! Other places I've been to, my gel polishes tend to just peel right off in just about a week.

Very personable knows how to treat clients. Other places make u feel weird, and u never know who u are going to get. I love the consistency and good work. Shop is always clean.

I don't have calluses, I don't have short, weak, brittle nails anymore, no ingrowns anymore. She's correcting my nails growth patterns even! It's a visible difference in just 2 pedicures. She takes so much pride in her work and she is such an amazing & caring person. She has so many repeat clients and families that come to her because she's just, simply, the best. She makes all of your troubles melt away. I wish I had prettier feet so I could take better pictures to show off the quality of work she really does. It's insane. Also, she is EXTREMELY reasonably priced. Tip this woman well if you see her. She deserves it. Let's fight about it if you don't. I'd rock someone's socks for my pedicure lady lol.

    Had the best experience at sunny nail! Called same day, got in and was treated amazing and my nails…read moreare perfect! The salon is clean and staff was very attentive.

    I'm a regular here and recently had a unique situation that was ultimately fixed…read more I came in with long natural nails, but one (my pointer finger) had broken. Lina had a great solution and did an amazing job matching it with an acrylic extension--you can't even tell in the photo. That said, if you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend asking for Gel-X instead of acrylic. The acrylic ended up feeling loose and didn't hold well, so I had to come back before leaving for a trip. To their credit, Sunny Nails squeezed me in the very next day. Another technician quickly assessed the issue, removed the acrylic, and replaced it with Gel-X (a full, strong nail--not just a tip). The result was flawless--she shaped it beautifully, and I was able to enjoy my trip with perfect nails. The only downside was the experience during the fix. The technician seemed frustrated, didn't respond to my thank you, and abruptly turned off the blue light and walked away without acknowledgment. It felt a bit uncomfortable--especially since I had already paid extra for the initial service and had to come back. Overall, they made it right, and I appreciate the quality of the final result--just wish the customer experience during the correction matched it.
