    Dip manicure by Jennifer
    Arlene K.

    From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and asked to sign in. Jennifer did my dip manicure, and she was incredibly attentive from start to finish. She carefully removed the old polish and dip powder, then helped me pick out a new color--which I loved! As she worked, we had a light, easy conversation about her business and food, which made the appointment even more enjoyable. I appreciated that she took the time to ask about my preferences--checking in on the thickness of the dip, the shape, and the length of my nails to make sure I was happy every step of the way. She finished with two coats of topcoat and massaged oil into my cuticles, which was such a nice touch. The result was beautiful, and I could tell she really takes pride in her work. That said, if you're in a rush, this might not be the spot for you. Jennifer is intentional and meticulous--she's not about rushing through her craft, and that's exactly why I'll be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone who values quality and care in their nail services!

    i could not recommend nirvana enough. i'm shocked they only have 4 stars. if you want GREAT nails without sitting in a room full of strong scented chemicals for an hour i HIGHLY recommend. honestly even outside of the nontoxic benefits, they just do nails better than any salon i've experienced and i've explored around a dozen. the attention to detail is amazing. for this set specifically my nail tech was named tracy. love love love!!!!

    Awesome service, accommodated my daughters love for wicked in her pedicure! Definitely recommend!

    Wonderful salon. I celebrated my birthday with my friends here and appreciated the clean and fresh atmosphere and the kind nail techs. Would highly recommend.

    Lifted ring finger nail placement (I swear this is not normal lol)
    Rosie R.

    This is my first time getting a Gel X mani set and I am a bit disappointed. The receptionist Mike was very sweet in booking my appointment really fast so I was excited to come in. During the appointment the measurements looked good but after I noticed the nails were quite a bit crooked and did not match my finger lines. For what I payed I'm just slightly dissatisfied because this nail salon is on the pricer end since they are non-toxic.

    Went in for a spa day with my daughter and we had an amazing mani/pedi. It was a splurge well worth it. The owner Jennifer offered suggestions for colors that matched our personalities and style and had meticulous attention to detail on our designs. They stayed an hour after close to ensure our nails were perfect for the event we were prepping for. Overall would recommend them in a heart beat!

    Mani and pedi!!!

    My skin is glowing and I'm so relaxed. The neck, hand/arm and scalp massage, amazing. Then for a full day of beauty and mani and pedi. Make an appointment with Kait for the facial all the ladies are amazing do mani and pedi. I did the day of relaxation. Such a good deal!

    Craftsmanship wasn't all there, kinda messy near the cuticles
    Eunie J.

    Nice but craftsmanship isn't all there. My gel mani was kinda messy and when the water was too hot, the technician took the dirty water from my pedicure to wash my fingernails. It was gross.

    I came in with no appointment and they squeezed me in. Not only is the salon spotless, the staff was so kind, so attentive, and my nails look amazing. Don't hesitate to come here and get yourself some yummy tacos next door!

    I had a pedicure package with Helen and it was delightful. Very relaxing, especially the hot stone leg massage. I will be back again soon!

When I have to cheat on them because I waited until the last minute to ask for an appointment and they cannot fit me in, I always think of them & wish I waited for an opening at Ocean Retreat. Every.

I LOVE that. I can totally tell when people do not get along well in a salon & this salon is a place that is easy to relax in. I will not say my favorite's name because I want to gatekeep her purposely. I don't need her to become busier than she already is! But this salon has several great nail techs. The rubs are good. The conversation is enjoyable. I actually enjoy the music & always love what they choose to put on the TV (HGTV for the win every time!!). The ambiance is worth the visit. Tip well. They are all each worth every penny.

Then she cut and filed and then used a DRILL to over-file my nails and removed the healthy top layer of nail. then stopped without finishing the rest of my 8 fingers and cuticles (no soak no water nothing) and stated the pedicure. She was so rough on callous removal that she cut my heel so I said that's enough thank you and had to walk out. I had waited months for the time to come in and get a mai/pedi. I left in tears. Awful experience I'll never go back.

The technician doing my pedicure was noticeably rude and kept commenting that I wasn't "relaxed enough," which was frustrating given the environment. I was seated right next to someone having their nails filed, and the dust was blowing onto my area, including my purse and the coffee I brought in, I had to keep everything in my lap (I commented about the dust flying all over my things they did nothing to help the situation) They began my manicure and pedicure at the same time, and both felt hurried. Toward the end, one of my nails was uneven, and when I asked for it to be fixed, the response felt annoyed rather than accommodating. (They did not fix it properly just painted over the issue area.) The pedicure technician was apparently angry I asked the manicurist to fix my nails so she ripped my toe separators out as fast as she could and gave me a dismissive look, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. This was a very unpleasant visit and uncomfortable I have never been treated so rudely during a nail service. I will not be returning to this establishment. That's a lot of money to spend to somebody treat you so rudely. I hope management takes steps to improve both the service quality and overall customer experience.

We decided to try AO Nails for the first time because we were doing errands in the Poway area. After our experience at AO with Helen and Mia, we found our go to pedicure business. We were given outstanding customer service, the two ladies did a great job with our pedicures, and from start to finish, we enjoyed our experience. AO Nails is located in Poway, specifically towards the east end of Poway Road. It can be found in the shopping center where the following tenants reside: Trader Joe's, Five Below, and Home Goods. The Mexican food restaurant El Ranchito is next door to the nail salon. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. As you enter AO, you immediately notice how bright the salon is from the natural lighting from their open windows. It's conducive to seeing the handiwork of the nail professionals. One of their main walls has a floral arch and large Hello Kitty character stuffed dolls. There are mounted pics of coastal scenery. We received friendly and diligent customer service from Helen and Mia. Both of their positive dispositions are part of the reason why we would return. I've had a pedicure two times in my entire life and both times I really enjoyed them. AO Nails is the best one from start to finish. Loved that their chairs are massage type, they're comfortable, and they cup holders, which was convenient for my AM/PM XL drink. When they had me soak my feet, the water was really hot, but I got used to the heat real quick. I enjoyed placing my feet into their bubbling spa bath. Wifey paid extra for us to have our calves and feet lotioned and saran wrapped. She paid extra have our feet callouses removed utilizing one of their electronic tools. Lastly, she paid extra for the 10 minute massage done to our calves and feet. I enjoyed everything and it truly felt like I was being pampered. My feet and calves felt renewed, revived, and soft after all that Helen did to them. My pedicure concluded with a clear coat nail polish placed on my nails. Wifey and I have found our go to pedicure spot at AO Nails. Our entire experience was positive from the quality customer service from Helen and Mia, the inviting and well lit business, and the professional and reinvigorating pedicure and add-ons.

I called, and even though I didn't have an appointment, they were kind enough to squeeze me in, which I really appreciated. I went in on Friday, 7/17, around 2:00 PM. I want to start by mentioning the woman who did my pedicure. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she was absolutely lovely,kind, gentle, and did a great job. She's the reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of fewer. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my manicure with Nina (although she told me her name was Kim, while her station said "Nina"). She was extremely rude and unprofessional from the beginning. She handled my hands very roughly, constantly grabbing and pulling them around. The turning point was when I politely asked if she was still planning to file my nails into the same square shape I came in with. My nails were visibly uneven and hadn't been shaped yet. She was about to apply the polish, so I simply asked if she was still going to shape them. Her response was, "I already did," and everything went downhill from there. I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years, since I was a teenager, so I know what a finished nail shape should look like. I normally go to the same salon in Mission Hills, San Diego, but because this was a last-minute invitation, I thought it would be quicker to find a place nearby. I wasn't rude or confrontational, I asked a legitimate question. It seemed like she took it personally or was offended, and her attitude became even worse afterward. It's unfortunate because the manager (I believe she was the one who answered the phone and fit me into the schedule) was very nice and accommodating, and my pedicure experience was great. Unfortunately, one employee can completely change the overall experience. If I'm ever in the area again, I would choose another salon, and I wouldn't recommend this one based on my experience with the manicure.

Then felt rushed when the next customer arrived (who also waited 30+ minutes). Only one person working on us at a time so whole appointment took 2 hours. Language barrier didn't help.... I wanted to pay for an extra service to add strength back to my nails (I came in with acrylic and gel polish). They don't do acrylic, said that gel-x was only for extensions, but then didn't offer anything else for nail structure, so I left with horribly thin nails after all the dremmeling. Now the gel polish is chipping after only a couple days. Won't be returning. It was also warm in the salon which made the wait very uncomfortable for me. Bummed about this experience because they did have very pretty gel polish colors. **and in response to the owner's reply to my review - no we were not told the gel would chip because of our nails being thin. My mom came in with dip powder and instead of soaking the powder off, they filed it off so it made her nails thinner than normal. And I was happy to pay extra for something to add strength to my nails. They could have offered a builder gel which I guess is a common material used for this. I asked about gel-x but the owner said it was only for extensions, when it could have easily been filed short since I prefer shorter nails. No reason why these services couldn't have been added on since the Groupon just included the gel manicure. We were already paying extra to have the old gel/dip/acrylic removed.
