Tried to give this place a chance because I was getting eyebrow threading next door. The guy was really nice when I walked in and I was sat right away. I asked for a colored French manicure with a heart design and a regular pedicure. They agreed they were able to do the design and I started to choose my colors. They had a decent color selection and the gel colors had matching regular colors which made it easy. Unfortunately it took a turn for the worse when the manicurist started shaping and applying the French manicure. I first mentioned how I wanted the shape to be more rounder or almond and she was like it can only happen if you get fake nails. I should've known from that point it wasnt going to workout but I kept giving them the benefit that they can do a simple French. After she shaped them a little better she continued on with the French tip. All the French lines were so crooked and uneven!!!! And I was trying to show her a picture again so that she knew what to do but she would be very short with me and tried to do everything so fast and was like let me do this part first and then you can show me the picture but I wanted to make sure it was done right. After 3 attempts "of fixing it", I gave up hope. They were like if you don't like this French I can paint your nail one color, but that's not what I came in for so I told her to just take it off They charged for a regular mani and regular pedi (the pedi was fine although he did cut me) Def won't come back. I suggest only coming here for simple mani pedi with no designs but watch out for cuts and rude attitude. ( mainly the manicurist I didn't get her name. She was very short with me and kept rushing me ... IT WAS SLOW BTW... not all workers had clients so I didn't understand the rushing) Never again.
I was in dire need of a mani/pedi, having been through many travels, workouts, and hikes since my last. I called my regular spot, and they were booked for the next couple days. I was stressed due to upcoming weekend events and in need of presentable nails. I decided to check out a small nail salon near my office. It was not my best decision. When I arrived, a woman greeted me in a friendly way, asking if I could wait. It was a salon that is in high need of a makeover. It looks dated and a bit sloppy. The woman then brought me gel colors to choose from when I asked. There were about three women in front of me, but they were helped quickly so my wait was only 10-15 minutes. I was first seated at a pedicure station, which was comfortable enough. The woman doing the pedi was really pretty rough on her removal of the existing polish and filing of the nails. After that, she cut the skin on my toe by cutting the nail too short. There was no apology, just an attempt to soak up the blood. After that, she then pretended to do the foot and leg massage. I liked my gel mani a lot better than the pedi. A different woman did that. She was more personable and spoke to me a bit. She found me a new color when I wasn't totally happy with the first. At the end of it all, my pedicure came out very flawed and my gel mani was a bit lumpy and uneven. I do like how they do the mani and pedi at the same time to save time, but my service was very subpar. I thought that it may be a lot cheaper than other salons, but it was only slightly cheaper than my usual. Here, a regular pedi and gel mani was $52. It seems like a pretty popular place, but I will not be returning.
Horrible quality, I repeatedly asked the lady doing my nails to remove a hair from the base of my nail and she said she couldn't see it, and left base uneven and nails length uneven as well also did a really sloppy job at the French tip paint would not recommend this establishment to anyone who cares about how their nails look. Would give this place a zero star if I could
I walked in on a Friday and was helped right away. The technician did a thorough job and a gel manicure is only 26$!
One of the few places in San Diego that continues to accept walk in clients! I was in La Mesa for another errand and I stopped at the ATM in the same shopping center. This nail salon is in the shopping center where you will find a Vons grocery store, and along two sides some unique, independently owned shops. Parking is plentiful. I leaned in the doorway and asked if they were able to perform a manicure and pedicure on the spot. The woman asked me to step outside for a couple of minutes, and when I stuck back in she said that they could take me right away. There's a sign in sheet, sanitizer, a sign that reads a $3 Covid cleaning fee, and a person who will take your forehead temperature. Once all these items were out of the way, I was escorted to a Covid-safe pedicure station where I am happy to say the water temperature was just perfect. The young woman who began my pedicure walked over with nail color samples. Certainly many to choose from, and out of the samples I chose two colors, both glitter. So talking about the pedicure, I found that it was just as good as other nail salons I have requested services from. The technician properly cut, filed, and trimmed cuticles. She then used a very nice scrub to slough off skin from my feet and my legs, followed by a soothing lotion and nail polish. With the pedicure finished, I was asked to reseat myself at a manicure station. Many nail salons keep you seated at the pedicure station while doing your manicure I actually prefer to sit at a manicure table separate from the water bath, and I don't think that $3 as a cleaning fee is excessive. Again the same woman went through the procedures of the manicure in the same way I would expect from any nail salon. I think this salon deserves a shout out for the cleanliness, polite and thorough technicians, and the willingness in this environment to continue to bring in clients without appointments such as myself.
The staff was nice but I asked them for a specific design which they said they could do, and seemed confident enough. I should of not paid at all of should of had them take it all off before I left. And no I didn't make a fuss I paid and left a tip and walked out, I will not be coming back again.
I have been here a couple of times and I had great experiences both times. Most recently I went to get a dip manicure. I had previously had several dip manicures at other salons and was not happy with the manner in which the dip was applied or taken off. After coming the Nail Time & Spa for a couple of pedicures and talking to the staff about their dip manicure, I decided to come back today and try it. Do yourself a favor....If you want a dip manicure go here! Cynthia did an amazing job and explained things to me. Turns out the places I went before weren't even doing it right and how would I know?! I hadn't had it done before. Long story short...the staff are friendly, the salon is clean, they were able to take me right away, they do a mean mani pedi and their dip technique is spot on! Oh and the price was great too!! For a pedi and a dip manicure it was only $49!! I will definitely be back!
I have been coming here for about 5 years now. For the past few months Annie and Cynthia have been doing my nails. I'm very happy with the way they come out! Daniel also does a good job. I always get the gel manicure and gel spa pedicure. The gel lasts a 2-3 weeks on my nails. I usually go in just because they've grown out not because they've chipped or anything. I've gotten a facial here a few times. It's pretty relaxing. Prices are great for everything. I've gone to about three places out of town with friends and each time I paid way more and feel like I received less of a service than what I get here. I had one of those places charged me just for scrubbing my feet. I thought that cake with any pedicure?!?! As long as I have Annie and Cynthia I'm not disappointed!!
Second try.. they made me feel very uncomfortable after knowing I wasn't satisfied with my mani. (I was happy with my pedi) they all looked at me talked and giggled.. definitely will not be coming back. First time I came in the nails weren't the best but the owner and her daughter were awesome. But hey $12 for a mani... I guess I can't complain about the results LOL
You get what you pay for, for a spa mani and pedi, $24, what a great deal until you see the quality. They double paint your toes, the technician was quite good and detailed but no top coat, and the mani girl was quick, only one coat and no top coat on my fingernails. Was there for the spa mani and pedi 30 minutes, 10 minutes to dry at the drying station. I got there at 11:10, maybe two other patrons, by 11:30am the place was packed on a Saturday. Glad they took me in early from my 11:30am appt. 8 pedi spa chairs, 6 mani sections and a 6 person communal fingernail and toe drying station. The staff was friendly and accommodating, I'd say 4 star but the mani quality was a 2 star. Pedi quality, 3.5 star. A popular place, they have regulars, seem pretty clean just the quality isn't there that I would prefer but would go again for a regular mani and pedi for $20 if I was in a rush, they are fast with two people working on you at once. Do love the massaging/shiatsu spa chair.

Though I was grateful they let us in last minute (around 6:40) and they close at 7 , I regret paying money to get my nails done here . I will not be coming back . They didn't clean my cuticles up at all and left the gel polish clumpy and did not cover the entire nail. read more

I've been here once before and this is my second time. I loved my nails both times. Very relaxing environment and I actually liked the way they did my dip nails. I'm used to them looking bulky and super thick, but she made them look more natural! Definitely will come again. Prices are reasonable. read more

I always go to Anna Lee and she is so wonderful. She really takes pride in her work and really strives to give her customers exactly what they want. I'm a hairstylist, and she is the first person to give me the option of gel color that lasts. She uses acrylic for the gel to stick to. She is meticulous in detail to give me the best pedicure and nails. Best of all, she is super affordable. I am now a loyal customer, been coming to her for a few months now and don't plan to go anywhere else. read more

I've been a regular since my daughter's bridal party in 2010. I live in OB but it is so worth the drive! Great spa pedis, manis, facials, waxing...their prices are so low that I can leave great tips for great service! I always tip and I always have great service! read more

Honestly the worst experience I have ever had. They can't do gel for the life of them and and my nails look like hell. I wouldn't recommend this place to any one. I'm really upset with how my appointment went. read more

*giving 3 stars because the family who owns the business are really nice* I work in the same shopping center so I decided to give them a try for convenience reasons. I went in almost two weeks ago for a fill and pedi (by Annie) and she did a fabulous job... today I came in on my lunch with 45 mins to spare for a fill which I made Tina aware. Not once did I press her for time. I originally asked for regular ombré (pink and white) nails and she kindly explained it would have to be done with powder and I would need more time so I started picking out gel colors. She saw a pic I had on my phone that I had from Pinterest and said she could do that with gel polish (teal color tip faded into clear pink BASICALLY AN OMBRÉ) Me being hesitant because she had just explained the regular ombré needed to be done with powder I ended up saying okay. She started with the clear pink base, she painted the tip with the teal and began using a sponge to dab on the tip (she did that for two coats). She pulled out the top coat and I asked if she was finished and she said after she applied the top coat yes. I was trying to be nice because as we all know we try to trust the process and usually your nails come out bomb but can be questionable during the process but this was terrible and unacceptable* She even said to put glitter on top to hide the bubbles. I can't believe someone would be okay with letting someone walk out their chair like that. I ended up having her take off the color, paid for the fill and came back after work and Annie painted my nails. *no I did not receive an apology, no discount for the quality and inconvenience & of course the blame was put on me and said I was in a rush* read more

I was not impressed with this place. I went to get a gel manicure and after she soaked off the gel that was existing she cut my finger with the emery board. She didn't even clean the cut. I told the tech that I was trying to grow my nails and she still took a lot of length off. I feel like this place was a rip off. read more

Just moved to the area 2 months ago -- have tried a few other nail salons in the area and wasn't happy with their gel manicures. This is my second gel manicure from here, and I have loved both! They're great with detail. And I haven't had a wait either time I've gone, they help you right away. I've definitely found my new nail salon, and will be a repeat customer. read more

I saw this nail shop while driving in the shopping center, and I wanted to try it out because I live close by. The first time I went there I was greeted at the door, said I wanted a manicure an asked how much the gel manicure was. It was $20 and I was seated and someone started to work on my manicure. The lady did an ok job but I felt like she rushed the manicure and the painting of my nails. Then the next day my nail polish on my thumb started to lift and I went back and told them. At first the lady who did my nails said it was normal but then I said for it to lift after one day is not normal. She started to file it and I pointed it out to her again and then she saw what I was talking about, fixed it and apologized, Now a week later it looks like my cuticles were not cut enough...The second time I went to the shop I got a spa pedicure and that was an ok experience. read more
