This place is located off Broadway and by appointment only, they were able to get us in same day and within the hour of calling which was great. Unfortunately during my multiple calls to places asking about pricing... I was not even thinking about massage chairs. I did not feel like driving to lemon grove to get my pedi-cure which has great massage chairs. The front entrance door is locked but the back door is open. There was three (3) techs working and yes it is a hole in the wall place, the vibe here is very welcoming and friendly and sweet (that is a 5 out of 5 for sure), we had some laughs with the techs and listening to conversations with regulars, you could tell they keep their clientele. I can tell you my toes have never throbbed before, and hand soap was used to clean my feet (which was a first for me) - straight from the pump bottle. My significant other had issues with cutting his toenails and was extremely painful. The pricing was a bit higher than I pay at my normal shop but was glad they could get us in. Definitely not the worst experience I've had. read more

I hate my nails so much. I think they'd be beautiful if they were done correctly & she knew exactly what I wanted and she tells me when she was done: "You could've told me you wanted that shape, I have tips for that shape" when I told her from the start I wanted straight tapered & narrow & showed her the photo........... You can literally see through the nail & honestly from the lighting inside, I couldn't really see that/notice that. The 3D flower is beautiful though but it's not like a baby pink like I wanted. I also got a "pedicure" which only lasted 5 minutes.. I was observing her closely and this is what I got: -My left foot: pushed cuticles back, only cuts cuticles of my big toe. -Right: pushed cuticles back & cuts all cuticles. -Both: files once on each toe & cleans under nails but hurt & scrubs heels super lightly with SoftSoap brand soap while texting a lot.. She was also texting a lot when she was doing my acrylics. I had actually went in for a gel pedi & once she was done with the pedi part, I told her I had to go because I honestly did not want to continue or stay for the service I was getting so I asked for the regular pedicure price.... Let me just say I've never had to pay $25 for a 5 minute pedicure. I'm honestly not the type to get mad/yell at the workers at any salon so I just paid & left. It's not that I should've said something, it's that I did and during it all, I was telling her to fix this and I had to tell her to do 2 coats of the pink color??? I will never go back, this review is really just for other people's awareness & hopefully it is helpful to go elsewhere. I recommend Rosy Tips on H Street, Chula Vista. I should've just stuck to that place I go to but I came here for pricing & wanted nails done for work. read more

This is the best nail shop customer service is amazing and they do an amazing job every time

As one person already stated, this nail salon is a hole in the wall. It's very small and not modern whatsoever. There are no massaging chairs, and I'm not even sure if there are many (or even any) machines to dry your nails, but that doesn't lessen the great work they do here. My best friend and her entire family have been going here for years and years. The four workers here are sisters, and whenever I come here with her, they always talk to her about her family and have those personal, friendly relationships. That goes to show they have good customer service and quality! The people that tend to go here are regulars. I got a pedicure from Cindy. She took her time with my toes, and gave a good little foot massage! I got a pretty teal color that they had; their spring colors are super cute. It is cash only, but it's pretty cheap! If you're in the area and don't want to wait long for a mani or pedi, then I suggest stopping by to check it out. Also, they were so sweet because my best friend and I were starving and they gave us some crackers to snack on! How adorable. I'm sure if we were just complete strangers it'd be a little odd, so I'm glad my best friend has known them for that long because our stomachs were growling hehe. read more

I have been coming to this nail place since 1996 and every time my nails were done exactly the way I wanted them. Loana, Flower and Heather are just amazing, kind, friendly and with great customer service. This place does not have the fancy stuff other nail places offer and if you're into that then this is not your place, but what they do offer is great quality and talented nail designs of their work. I have never gotten any type of nail fungus or Infected toe nail when my ingrown nails are taken care of. They are definitely the best and prices are very reasonable. read more

I can't believe this place only has two reviews! I have been coming here for literally TEN YEARS! I have tried other places here and there, but nothing compares. Like the other review says, they don't have massage chairs and it's a hole in the wall place, but I personally do not mind it at all. There are only four people who work here, all sisters. Loan, Flower, Helen, and Cindy. Loan and Flower are the ones doing nails, while Helen and Cindy take care of the pedicures. Everyone who comes here is a regular, the ladies know everyone by name and greet you as soon as you walk in. I have never once made an appointment and never even waited too long! They do quality work and I am always satisfied. I pay around $40-45 for a fill with gel color and a pedicure. Price and quality can not be beat! Not to mention the customer service! You don't have to worry about some catty women talking about you behind your back, they genuinely care and literally know everything about my life haha! Give this place a try, the best in Chula Vista and located right on Broadway next to Robertos (: read more

They saw me for a very last minute appointment, mani pedi. The ladies were all so sweet & you could tell that their clients love them. While it's not glamorous, they get the job done. There are not spa seats, just normal chairs for a pedicure, but still, I enjoyed myself. My gel manicure was done well, and has a strong feeling to it. While I was getting my pedicure done, the lady was sure to ask if I was hurting or if the water was ok. She was very attentive and caring! After a stressful day at work, I was so happy to get into their schedule for the last appointment. They do have parking in the back, but I was lucky enough to find parking right in front. Be sure to have cash, as they do not accept credit cards. There is not an ATM on location, but there are banks and gas stations nearby to withdraw from. read more

Loana was nice but doesn't return calls. Her work herself cracked and started coming off in a week. The place is a small not so clean area. Her customer service while you're there is nice though. Doesn't accept credit card so I had to run to the bank and it was an inconvenience. read more

I'm from out of town and I needed a pedicure I used yelp for a nail salon and chose this place. Because this place offered pedicures without the spa treatment and that is what I normally get. I usually pay 10.00 dollars without the spa treatment. So I went to this place(and my fault) I didn't think to ask how much for a pedicure before getting it done, but anyways the price for pedicure was 17.00 dollars. I was soooo shocked, so I payed it. And to top it off the pedicure was awful, when I got to the car I noticed my toes were were not painted all the way to the side. I went back and told her to fix them, and the looked worse. So I back again and another lady had to fix the all over again. I DON'T recommend this place for pedicures, and I won't be going back again. To pricey and horrible job. read more

Great and friendly service, very profesional, would recommend. Family business/ sisters. Thank you.

Second time coming here and I'm in love with my nails once again not expensive and the sisters (owners) are very friendly and nice. read more

I love this nail salon. It's a family owned buisness. The sisters are great! It's the only place I will go for a pedicure. The salon is kind of a whole in the wall, but I like the service I get. I've gone to many nail salons. Most of which I will never return. Helen is my favorite. She is sweet and does a great job! She also gives a nice massage! read more

I won't go anywhere else! I love the people, they do an amazing job. I went to another place and they completely messed up my nail. I went to Nails by Loana and never left! They're great at what they do! read more

I've been coming here for about ten years now and I can honestly say that their pedicures are hands down the BEST (they last forever!). They don't have massage chairs or any of that modern stuff other salons use to up their prices but they definitely take their time and they make sure all their customers leave happy. They actually listen and have great attention to detail. This salon is family owned and all the girls are super sweet and friendly. The only "con" is that they're CASH ONLY- but other than that, I love it here. Walk in or make an appointment, you won't regret it! read more

This is my first visit I was recommended by a waitress whom had a very nice set of nails and I asked her if she had it done and she directed me here. The nail shop is very small but the ladies are very kind and warm. Prices are very reasonable and I'm very happy with my full set of nails and pedicure. I definitely recommend this spot. read more

I found this salon through a friend who has been going for years. I LOVE the way Loana did my set. She did them so well that I'm willing to drive 40+ miles each way to see her. Def recommend this place. The page says that they take credit cards but I don't think that they do however, this is becoming more of a standard practice as small businesses need to cut costs wherever they can. This place isn't the most glamorous salon but if you want nails that look good, at a reasonable cost, then this is the place for you. Another thing is that they don't have the spa pedicure chairs (which is a must for me). It's not a big deal though because I don't mind bringing in my own polish or getting a french manicure. For a standard fill its $14 but for a pink and white fill it's $30. read more

They simply such at doing nails, that's all I can say, went once a couple weeks ago and I have to say I was really disappointed in the results. I wish I didn't spend my money on "Nails by Loana" read more

The service here is fantastic ! I had to wait a little bit but believe me it was worth it ! My nails came out better than I've ever had them before at other nail salons. I REALLY recommend this place to anyone who is looking for beautiful nails for a fair price ! read more

I've been going to this place for 20 years and love their work.. It's a hole in the wall and yes it doesn't have luxury chairs because they don't have to impress, their work makes up for the chair massage lol.... Hands down you won't find anywhere in Chula Vista or San Diego (for that matter) a better pedicure than there.. These ladies have known me since I was 12 I am now 33 and I feel like a cheater when I go somewhere else because I dread the commute since I moved out of Chula Vista and I ALWAYS end up driving to them to fix my nails because I'm never satisfied when I go to another place. And when I get there it only reminds me that not only do they know my whole life story but they know exactly what I like, and my nails and eyebrows look awesome. Whatever you want they can do. Very detailed when it comes to designs... Highly recommend them. They're so cute lol they know all their customers by name and have had them for years theres a reason why we all come back... read more
