I have been seeing Phoebe for over a year now and I will never go to another technician. She is so incredibly good at what she does: my nails always look amazing, they never chip or lift, and I can go at least 5 weeks before needing my next fill. (My nails grow incredibly fast so the 5 week mark is when I have to get them redone to cut them down. Otherwise I swear they would last forever!) Any design that I have wanted she has been able to pull off without hesitation. Her shop is always clean, there are always fresh flowers around, and there is always soft music playing in the background. Can't say enough nice things about Phoebe! She's so sweet! The absolute BEST! I wish I could give her 10 stars to be honest! read more

I absolutely love Phoebe and her shop. She's so sweet and has soooo many options. I loved my gel nails and pedicure.

I couldnt be happier with my experiences here. Every appointment has been smooth, relaxing, and incredibly satisfying from start to finish. The level of precision and care really stands out, especially when it comes to achieving a clean, balanced shape and a flawless finish. Its clear that high quality products and thoughtful techniques are always a priority. What I appreciate most is how consistent the results are each visit leaves me just as impressed as the last. The designs are stylish and beautifully executed, and everything feels tailored to perfection. This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to. read more

Cannot say enough good things. I went in after a round of chemo with a) a compromised immune system and b) razor blades for finger nails (thanks, chemo) that I'd cut myself open with and gotten an infection while in the hospital. I was used to doing dip, but Phoebe suggested a different route that would help my nails grow and stay strong and good. heavens. She was not kidding. I'm on my 3rd visit with her and my nails look AMAZING even after a month (and I am rough on my nails, not to mention how brittle the chemo has made them). I will keep coming back--she has been so respectful of my limitations with active leukemia as well as how fidgety I am while getting my nails done. Also just genuinely a kind human. Truly refuse to go to anyone else for my nails now. Studio is easy to find and conveniently located so I can walk over. Color options are plentiful and she's an absolute pro at what she does. read more

Best pedicure ever! I messaged phoebe to book a pedicure and she was able to get me into her schedule within the next week or so. She has her own salon suite in Sola Salon Studios near Little Italy/Downtown and keeps everything very clean and organized. I was able to walk there, if you're driving I believe there is only street parking but I saw several open spots on my walk there! Phoebe is such a sweet and kind person, you will definitely enjoy chatting with her during your appointment! She has very good attention to detail so my pedicure came out immaculate, the polish was applied perfectly and the cuticle care was great. I've had bad experiences with pedicures at other salons where they've been too rough and/or have given me cuts and I am not worried about that at all with Phoebe since she is very careful and efficient! Her polish selection is pretty good, she carries good quality gel polishes from the brands OPI and TINY which is a Korean gel polish brand! I was able to easily relax during my appointment, for pedicures she has a massage chair then she also has music playing in her studio. I was very happy with the service and think it was well worth the price for the quality of work and the included scrub and massage! Overall, I will definitely be coming back to Phoebe again! I would definitely go to her for manicures too if I was into more simple art, I believe she does both builder gel overlay and extensions! You can also find her on Instagram @nailsbyphoebe_studio read more

Phoebe is the nail tech I've been searching for. I am a relatively new client and I will admit she does book up in advance so it's hard to get on her books, but it's for a reason. She's incredibly skilled, very friendly, and truly cares about both the health and appearance of your nails. Her studio is in a great downtown location, perfect if you enjoy walking around the area. It is cozy, clean, and welcoming inside. One of the best parts is how efficient she is. I'm always done in about an hour, which is rare for hard gel services since some places can take over two. I get hard gel on my natural nails, and she has a great selection of colors and can also do fun designs. The shape is always spot on, and she really listens to what you want while offering helpful advice on what suits your hands best. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of work and care she provides. You can tell she genuinely enjoys her craft because she is almost more excited than I am when I leave with a fresh set. I always look forward to my appointments with her. read more

Beautiful Nails! I have gone to Phoebe 3x and everytime I've left with nails that are 10/10. I am soo picky about shape and she is too!! Her first priority is nail health and because of that my nails have NEVER been this healthy. I will post all of the nails I've gotten with her so you can see that on top of nail health, shape, quality of products, her designs are top tier! read more

Let me start off by saying I have been getting my nails done here for about 4 years, and I will never go anywhere else, for multiple reasons. 1. I bartend, and it's very hard on my nails, but Phoebe takes this into consideration and makes sure they're extremely sturdy, and there have been a few times where they stayed on for 7-8 weeks when I lagged between appointments. 2. The salon is beautiful, very welcoming staff, and her suite is completely closed off from the rest of the salon, so you don't have to listen to other customers having loud phone conversations like in most salons. 3. She is very thorough and explains everything as she does it, and makes the entire experience so personalized. She has developed an amazing understanding of my personal preferences for color, shape, and designs, and warns me if she doesn't think I'll like something, but will still give it a go. 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

Very skilled and knowledgeable. I'm a 78 yo guy w neorapathy and have trouble cutting my toenails. She does it for me and I very much appreciate her efforts. Appointments are a must and her prices fair. read more

Phoebe is an absolute gem of a person and nail technician. She is kind, extremely detail oriented, and does fantastic work. She really takes her time to make sure you have the best work done and wants it to last. She has so many colors to chose from its almost an impossible task! Her gel manicure prices have been very reasonable for what you get (starting around $45) and classic pedis seem to range from $40-$60 which is extremely fair considering the quality. I've gotten colorful French tips with her too and they lasted almost 3 weeks before I wanted to change them up. I find French manis tend to chip faster for some reason but these really held up! She has a cute little independent studio located in Sola Salons in Little Italy. While it may seem a little unconventional, it's best to text her to schedule at +1-619-278-1718 - thank you for my pretty birthday nails, Phoebe! read more

YOULL NEVER GO TO A REGULAR NAIL SHOP AGAIN. The studio is in a sola salon space. -she is solely dedicated to you and your service. No more waiting in a busy nail studio (even with an appointment) with the nail tech waiting on others. -Other nail techs are distracted putting other people feet in water, painting their nails, etc... -If you don't have an appointment with a specific person, you get the lick of the draw with the nail tech you get And PHOEBE IS AMAZING. -I should have started off with that but I wanted to get your attention. I get regular pedicures and builder gel manicures and they are fantastic. I wish I had discovered her before spending years in nail salons! read more

As a guy, I was not at all familiar with manicures, pedicures, and just taking care of my body in this way. I'm so glad to have found Phoebe. What a difference it makes, especially with my feet! I stand for long hours at work and also walk a lot. I didn't know how bad my feet were, but now I know better and will be going for a pedicure monthly. Her studio is also very peaceful and relaxing. It's a great escape from a hectic day. Treat yourself! read more

Phoebe is simply the best! She is very detailed and makes sure your nails are perfect and exactly how you want them during every step. I got a gel fill for my nails and a luxury pedicure.

It was a short walk from my place so I am unsure about parking. I highly recommend her!! I've been getting my nails & toes done for years now & she really is the best!!

Phoebe is THE BEST. I've been coming to her for gel manicures and pedicures for three years now. She's extremely kind and incredibly talented at all-things-nails. She is definitely a perfectionist, which I love, because I trust that I won't walk out the door unless she thinks it's perfect! Phoebe also does amazing designs-- if you bring a photo of what you want, she will do an exact copy for you-- plus, her nails always give me inspiration! With my gel manicure, she brings the color almost down to the nail bed so I can go 3 weeks in between each appointment. Her prices are fair and worth every penny. Phoebe is in high demand, so I recommend making an appointment directly with her via text: (619) 278-1718 She's located in a beautiful salon on the outskirts of downtown with plenty of street parking. She's on the first floor, with accessibility for wheelchairs. It's a very relaxing and calming space when you're wanting to treat yourself! I've looked far & wide for a nail technician that I trust, who is consistent, and takes pride in what they create... and Phoebe is exactly that. 10/10 recommend! read more

First and foremost, I'm not a local to San Diego -- I live in Monterey, California, almost eight hours north. The fact that I fly down to San Diego every 3-4 weeks speaks volumes about the quality of Phoebe's work. She is kind, patient, and her attention to detail is unparalleled. Her salon is intimate and private, allowing her to dedicate her full attention to just you. Phoebe genuinely wants you to be happy with your manicure and/or pedicure. She constantly checks in to see if you like the color, and I love that she has great recommendations when you can't make up your mind (which is usually my dilemma!). She's always up to date with current nail trends and techniques, and she has invested in top-notch equipment to give you the quality experience you're paying for. I cannot recommend her enough! read more
