I love my nails!!! Martha is so talented and sweet. She takes her time when she works on your nails and uses really nice products. I really like that it is a private setting also and you get one on one attention without feeling like just the next customer. She gets into the nitty gritty if your feet need it! A big plus for me Must book an appointment! She is the best!

Cute, Quaint and Chic. Greeted by Ms. Martha with a choice of tea, water or soft drink. The selection of gel colors available is immense! The detail put forth in every mani/pedi is superb! I love this place! Best bang for your buck, AND they speak English! Love, love, love it!

Ready for the holidays ;)

I have a new nail spot. Martha squeezed me in at the last minute and gave me the best gel manicure I've ever had. I'll definitely return.

I've tried several nail techs in San Diego, and Hannah is by far the best…read more She has her own private studio, so every appointment feels relaxed and personal. She gives you her full attention, is incredibly sweet, always greets you with a hug, and gets just as excited about your nail ideas as you do. Somehow, she always manages to make them even better than I imagined. The quality of her work is unmatched. She uses great products and genuinely cares about every set she creates. Most importantly, her nails LAST. I recently went away for five weeks, and my set looked amazing the entire time. For the first time ever, I wasn't getting my nails redone because they chipped or lifted--I was getting them redone because I'd completely grown them out. I was still getting compliments on them at the five-week mark, and people couldn't believe how long I'd had them. If you're looking for beautiful, long-lasting nails and an amazing experience, Hannah is your girl.

Hannah is AMAZING! I've gone to her several times now, and she's officially my new nail artist…read more Calling her a nail technician doesn't even feel accurate... she's a true artist. I'm a cancer survivor and because of this, I have limitations with manicures that I typically have to explain over and over (and over) at every nail salon I visit. And I don't mind. I don't expect people to know all the ins and outs of living with cancer. But... Hannah has lots of clients who deal with this already... and I didn't have to repeat a thing. It was INCREDIBLE. The second you walk into her space, it's impossible not to smile. It's colorful, welcoming, and full of happy energy... and then she works her magic! A manicure with Hannah isn't just an appointment... it's an experience. She does such a beautiful job! My nails last forever and are gorgeous! I won't ever go anywhere else.

Got seated right away, the tech offered the menu the have quite a bit of additional charges which usually comes with service at other nail salons. It was $28 for the basic gel service and an additional $19 I think for the color which is wild to me that they have it broken down like that. Plus another 9.99 to remove the callus. I opted for the $48 no removed Callus. I wasn't able to take a picture of the menu but this was shady and won't be coming back. The tech also tried to show me the more expensive nail colors which I declined. Just wasn't a good vibe here. Then to put the nail in the coffin "no pun intended" they did not accept a VISA CARD. They wanted me to Zelle or Venmo so I had to go next door the massage shop to get money from the atm. So inconvenient. Absolutely no reasoning of why I cannot swipe my card. Avoid we have so many options here in SD no reason why we should settle for businesses that continue to operate like this.

The staff provides a complimentary beverage and the boba place next door does 15% off your order if you are getting a salon service. The $5 callus treatment with the pedicure was very worth it. My feet feel amazing days later!

I have tried this place a few times now, and I just can't go back after this last time. This is a…read moreplace to go to get the most basic nails and that's it. They don't do 3D art, they've told me they literally can't do anything other than gel polish. This last time they told me they won't do art unless it's gel, and that will cost you like 30$ more on top of the 29$ for a basic manicure. My 65$ pedicure was 94$ after I added gel chrome polish. Like if you don't want to do regular polish- say GEL ONLY- so we all know! The older woman who did ny pedicure was great and all but the language barrier was brutal and she literally spent 10 mins talking to someone else to get clarification on how to do chrome nails! Like how is this place even in business if you get stuck at chrome nails. I asked for dark red as my base color but she wouldn't do it, and just used black. It's so frustrating when you are excited to treat yourself and they claim to do all this stuff just to waste your time finding out they don't. AND they take soooooo long. They also seem very ANTI-BLACK. I'm mixed and one of the girls literally never did my manicure and left when I asked if I could just do regular manicure and not gel. And then when 2 non-black women came in, they immediately did theirs, and when I asked again they acted like it was the first time I even brought it up! Another time a woman (the last time I came in) asked me to pay upfront before my nails would be done, "becuase that's their policy" while the woman next to me paid AFTER her nails were done! Like do you think I'm dumb? Come on. I'm never coming back. Just a waste of time, if you want the nails you ACTUALLY want. Don't waste your money.

I've tried many places over the years and eventually they all start cutting corners and often start doing things (like taking off gel with a drill and leaving my naturally strong nails feeling thin and brittle) that made me choose to not get my nails done for a long time. So this year when I decided to start treating myself and chose a place that put my nail health in jeopardy, I immediately stopped and found Kali Zoi. Luckily they are nearby my son's school, so I made an appointment online very easily for right after drop off. Priscilla contacted me prior to my appointment, since I had asked for nail art, for some ideas. When we met, we hit it off and I've been happily pre booking ever since
