Found this place because it's next door to my dog's vet office. One of the first things I love about Nailtoepia is the option to make an appt online! What a great idea! All nail salons should have this software. Second it's not really large so not super crowded and I found it to be a relaxing environment which is always important to me. That's part of the experience right? Gel pedi and regular manicure Love their massage chairs. Also do yourself a favor and add in the $10 neck/shoulder massage. So worth it! Treat yourself! read more

Nailtoepia Salon - Tina has been doing my nails for years and she does an amazing ombre. - Nail Salons Near Me - Encinitas, California

I was never greeted with an English speaking hello. The women who worked there just spoke their native tongue the entire time or were busy looking at their phones. In addition, the salon smelled like toxic fumes and in spite of the pouring rain had the door open to try to clear the air. The lady manicurist who was doing my nails never said 'hello' to me or a simple 'how are you. While I was in process of having the manicure, the manicurist replied with an emphatic "No" after I asked her to clean out a few dirt spots in my nails - (I do a lot of gardening) - so I said "OK - I'll do it myself", and she gave me an instrument to do the job. I had asked her if she could make my nails a little more smooth on the edges - you could tell she was not patient and was just bothered by anything I would ask. When time to pay, she didn't like the idea of a credit card and asked if I had Venmo - which I did and proceeded to pay that way. When finished, the nails looked good, although when leaving, I said "thank you and Happy New Year" - the group of women manicurists hardly looked up as they were engrossed looking at their phones and mumbled words that were not clear. This salon was recommended by AI but my personal experience was these people are rude. read more

I love the "facelift" they gave Nailtopia. The new chairs are so comfortable and the whole place looks great. Lisa Luc gives me a fabulous gel pedicure every three weeks. My daughter-in-law gets a manicure and pedicure there as well, and is always very happy! And we cannot wait for the Lotus Lounge, which they are opening next door. We've already got our Hydra-Facial's booked! read more

I aways leave this salon with a perfect set of nails! Thank you Tina! Everyone is always friendly, the place is clean and prices are so reasonable. It's no wonder I have been a client for over 15years. read more

Tina is my lash QUEEN. If you're a busy person, it's hard to sit for 1+ hours for lashes. She's the quickest in town BUT THEY LAST! I refill every 3-4 weeks because whatever magic she does, it works. They're beautiful and quality products. If you need a Lash plug, PLEASE do yourself a favor and book this woman! She also has the best avocados! Thanks Tina for always being so accommodating read more

Don't go here, waste of time. Terrible job and customer service. The first thing I need to say is how unsanitary this place is. When the glue wouldn't dry fast enough this lady blew on my hand with her own breath...disgusting! I used to go here when it was in La costa and it's sad seeing how down hill it's gotten. The place itself is small, run down, dirty, and frankly cheap while having expensive prices. I made an appointment to get my nails done and when I got there on time they had me sit down and I just waited for about 10 minutes before they brought me colors to look at then I waited an additional 15 minutes. I had this old lady who did my nails, she seemed distracted the whole time as she was talking to her coworkers the entire time. I looked at the time after she glued on 2 nails and 25 minutes had already passed since she started. Long story short I got the worst set of nails I've ever seen. Each nail is slanted, she did the wrong color, the lengths are shorter than asked and uneven, the sizes are wrong and don't fit my nails they're either too big or too small. They gave me a more expensive style of acrylics without even asking me. They were so bad I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I tried saying the nails look uneven and slanted and the lady tried to tell me I was wrong and it's just the way I'm looking at my nails...what? I've looked at every other set I've gotten at other places and never noticed them being slanted. When I told the lady that I'm unfortunately not happy with the nails she PUSHED ME out of my chair and told me to fix them somewhere else. I've never experienced such terrible and rude customer service and I have NEVER had someone physically put their hands on me like that to push me off my chair. I was shocked. I unfortunately didn't get this lady's name but she's an old women with glasses who struggles to focus and move at a normal pace. Overall this is the worst experience I've ever had, I left completely shocked. They also kicked me out before putting on the final coat so my nails are left chalky with a toxic smell that I can taste. Save your money and time, please. Don't go here. read more

I have been doing lash extensions for a long time and I found Tina at this salon and she is the best! It is obvious that she has a lot of experience and she's quick!

Tina and Diane are amazing at lashes! So quick I love it! Thank you lady's for always making me feel great!

I came here for the 2nd time. First time, the nail tech did a somewhat sloppy job, leaving too much gel at the base of my nails. I had to buff down the edge after 4-5 days of growth. 2nd time, I asked that a different tech not use the drill to remove the gel .. so he went off and did a full pedicure, interrupting my appointment for a half hour. I will not come back. read more

I have been going to nail toepia since they were off of La Costa Ave. and Rancho Santa Fe Loved to come here but since they moved to there new place in Encinitas they have gone down hill. Even when you make an appointment you still need to wait for a technician to get done with whomever walks in or whoever gets there after you do. I've made a total of 4 appointments now and each time we've had to wait 20 plus minutes to finally get our pedicures. It's really too bad because the girls there are nice too bad their owners can't figure a way to make sure the appointments stay on task. Time to find a new place! read more

Tina did my lashes. She is on time, precise, efficient. She is no nonsense. Down to business. Her prices are the "going" prices around here. Tina gives you choices of what kind lashes you want and explains differences. Yes, her little room is in the back of the nail salon, behind the lunchroom, but don't let that discourage you from getting new & fancy lashes! Got my refill in 30 minuets! Yay! read more

I almost never leave reviews let alone bad ones but I have to. These pictures will speak for themselves. My first time here. Tina was re-doing my poorly done dip from a week earlier with pink and white now. A week was how long it took her to fit me in to redo it. The week prior was my first time doing dip because she convinced me it was better than pink and white even though I told her I liked pink and white. The dip looked goey, many imperfections, the gel top coat dried bubbly, and the nails were all lumpy from careless buffing. This is what my nails looked like during the re-do before she passed me off to her husband who was doing gel top coat. These pics already had the pink part of the pink and white powder on it. I didn't stop the process because I'm so so busy that I didn't have time to find a new nail place. I will find one soon. DONT GO HERE! I'd give negative stars but it is making me put a star here. read more

Nailtoepia Salon - Disaster. - Nail Salons Near Me - Encinitas, California

This place is very unsanitary, dirty towels were used for both my mani and pedi, I was truly worried if I would get the fungal infection from the services today. Also, no signs anywhere in the salon about the prices for different services. The only signs in the store is to let you know to pay cash or zelle or there will be an upcharge fee if you pay credit card or Venmo. read more

I'm sorry but... don't go here ): made an appointment for two at 4pm, no one had any idea we were coming. They didn't bother to give us a yes or no if they could even do the pedicures. We just sat there and waited, werent acknowledged, and just got up and left without a word from them. ‍ read more

Honestly can't believe that I even paid for this dip manicure!! While removing my old dip manicure, my nail technician BADLY cut four of my fingers to the point where they were visibly bleeding. It was obvious she was in a hurry even though I was one of the only clients in the salon (it was 8am). Honestly, I have never had a nail technician do such a sloppy half assed job! I let her know when she was filing my nails (more like filing my fingers) that it hurts and she brushed it off. She cut my fingers multiple times while using the machine drummer file, a regular nail file and a nail buffer. How is that even possible! There was polish all over my fingers! When I asked her if we could remove it and trim my cuticles (she never did) she said that I didn't need it. When I insisted she pulled some tools out her desk that in a sanitary bag that was obviously not sealed, I mentioned that the tools were not sealed and asked if she could get some clean ones since I already had open cuts on multiple fingers and didn't want to get an infection. She ignored me. I can't believe it!! On top of it, while my nails were curing under the UV light, she turned around and started manicuring the girls nails behind me! I'm sure she was using the same unsanitary tools on both of us AT THE SAME TIME!! I have been getting dip manicures twice a month for many years and this is by far the WORST manicure I have ever had not to mention the most PAINFUL! I am seriously concerned about getting an infection. BEWARE!! read more

They rescheduled my original appointment for one. Five hours later. Did a sub par job on boss Manny and petty gel nails then they asked me to leave because they had other people waiting in line. Customer service was not all that great and they demanded a tip at the end. read more

Very unfortunate! My 15 year old daughter went in to get her nails done and then added an eyebrow wax. The wax ripped her skin off and my poor daughters skin is open where the wax was. As soon as we spoke to another esthetician she asked right away if my daughter was using acutane. We said yes and she said they have to ask if the person requesting a wax is using any medications. Unfortunately no one asked and my poor 15 year old daughters eyes look like this(see attached pics) read more

Nail Toepia has reopened today. They have added individual rooms for pedicures and then you are moved to a table for a manicure with a shield between you and the manicurist. They have taken many chairs out, therefore not nearly as many people. It felt very safe. They are working off of appointments. read more

Thank you Rita for fixing my cuticles. I went in yesterday with my mom. Sundays are busy and they don't have enough people that want to work, so we waited. No big deal. I got gel on my toes and fingers and my toes looked amazing. When I got home I realized that the man that did my nails didn't do my cuticles at all. I was kind of surprised, and would've asked him to do them if he had asked or if I had realized during the service. Partially my fault for not paying attention. I went back today and explained my dillema. The girls were kind and took care of me. Rita did a great job removing, cleaning, and reapplying the color/glitter I wanted. She explained to me that cuticle work is extra and normally they do ask. They don't normally NOT do it. She didn't make me pay for the fixing, so I tipped her for her time and the excellent work. I'm very happy with the customer service I received and would definitely go back. Thank you Rita for taking care of me! read more

This business is taking the Covid-19 epidemic seriously and have built in closed rooms for pedicures and manicures. All the rooms have plastic between you and the technicians. Upon entering the business they have hand sanitizer and a jar for clean and used pens. Once you sign the waiver, they have you wash your hands before getting seated with your technician and again when leaving. Despite having to down size many chairs, they have definitely made major improvements to keep everyone safe! read more

Nailtoepia Salon - Pedicure chair in enclosed room with plastic separator. - Nail Salons Near Me - Encinitas, California

Probably the worst nail experience I've ever had. The ladies were nice ,but the one who did my acrylics clearly had no idea what she was doing. I asked for Stiletto shaped nails like in my fourth picture, and showed that reference. You would think if she couldn't do that she'd just tell me. Instead she took two hours struggling and my nails turned out uneven, bumpy, and the shape isn't even a good oval shape. Really disappointed, I hate complaining and that's why I didn't mention anything ,but I can't get over how horrible they are. read more

I have been going to Tina for about 20 years. She provides expertly detailed work and is fast and reasonably priced! She keeps me in fashion with my natural nails and silk eyelash extensions! I truly admire her business woman approach and will continue with her services for years to come. Her support staff also provides excellent easy walk-in toenail care and relaxing neck massages! I have recommended Tina's shop to several satisfied friends! read more

I recently just started getting my nails done. I'm always super picky, always looking for the best price. Most nail places will charge +$45 for a new set of acrylics... I've been over charged so many times , I almost gave up in finding the right nail place. I'm THAT person that goes in yelp to help me find the best place. This place was a word of mouth so I gave it a try...and I love it. I will most definitely be coming back here I'm the future. I had Lannie do my nails and she was fast, sweet, very polite and nice. I would highly recommend this place to those of you who are like me. read more

My daughter and I have been seeing Tina for years for lashes. She is excellent! She takes half the time because she is so good and her price is VERY reasonable. We have both been to other people when out of town, which confirmed that Tina is GOOD. My daughter's lashes are super thick and full like the college girls like them, and mine are more natural but still full. She listens to what you would like and doesn't require you to go every so often or pay more like other salons. I go once a month and it's the same price. Tina is grateful for her clients and it shows. Try her! Their new location is pretty and quiet with lots of parking. Oh, and the best part? You can book on an app! Makes scheduling and rescheduling so easy! read more
