Excellent quality with special attention to cuticle health. The best I have ever found. Relaxing and friendly.

I have been coming to QP nails (Ivy) for 15 years, but she sold it to the new owner and it's now NN nails. I will miss this place, they're not upto par with surrounding nail salons. See all previous work vs. the Mani i received today (3/2/2025). I loved every manicure I got from Ivy, unfortunately, i can't say the same for today's manicure .. So sorry I won't be back. All pictures prior to this post is from previous nail techs and previous owner! You be the judge. read more

Terrible! Asked just for clean up cuticles and shape my natural nails. I explained I have cancer and they are brittle and very slow to grow. I had grown them out for over a year to a lovely length and wanted to keep length. She picked up clippers and chopped off my whole little nail. What could I do now my nail is a nub.... no gradual cut back which I had not asked for... she proceeded to clip all my nails to stubs ... then left them with sharp edges plus used a extremely rough energy board all over my nails. They are totally destroyed and I'm shaking and crying as it took me so long to grow them out to a beautiful length. Now they are destroyed... I have stubs with sharp edges. read more

The ladies at the nail salon are nice and did a well enough job. You can't beat the price! Only critique I would say is that they should put for wax during pedicures read more

Just got these done yesterday and very annoyed about the gap between my nails and my cuticles. I spoke up and asked for the paint to be done closer (which I know is possible), and I was assured they would but this was final result. Overall fairly neat which is why I am giving three stars, but I'm still disappointed to have spent almost $100 for this kind of work. Also as you can see no care was given to at least trying to file my nails evenly. They were short when I arrived which is why I say "try". Used to like it here much better under old management when I used to get painted by the owner who did a very good job every time. Now that she's gone I've tried it twice but will likely not be returning. Place looks cleaner and more organized/better decorated now but that's it. read more

My go-to is Ivy. She's the best. She's been doing my nails for almost a decade now and this is my first yelp review! Go look for Ivy! She knows what she's doing... The vibe is great, feels like home! Always a relaxing time! The 5mins massage is amazing! read more

NN Nails - Memorial Day ready! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Wow!! SUPER EXPENSIVE! I knew North County was relatively expensive but this was crazy. For a basic short of acrylic nails was almost $50... I believe the total was $46 or $47! No designs, nothing. Just glue on acrylic tips. Cut extra short. I could've got these same nails for less than $25 in Lemon Grove or City Heights. The language barrier was difficult and it took multiple employees to get what kind of nails I wanted even though it was nothing fancy or really unique. I was an evening walk-in and feel they stuck me with the trainee. She was leaving way too much space between the cuticle and acrylic powder. It looked like I needed a fill already! I spoke up and she fixed it. Friendly staff but I was taken aback by the price. I still left a tip but doubt I will return. I can't justify paying that much for basic nails when I could drive an extra 15-20 minutes and save money. The quality of work doesn't justify this price. Now that I'm home and able to get a really good look, the quality is seriously lacking. The nails are filed crooked/on the diagonal direction and there's all kinds of white dried up powder still stuck under and on the sides of my nails. Never again! Crazy gaps between my real nails and acrylic tips. Something with the way she glued them on ... they're like going up at an angle and not making full contact my nail bed. Gotta be careful of fungus now. read more

Very clean nail salon and fair pricing. I got a gel manicure, they took their time and did a great job.

Came early to see if they could get me in. Ivy did a great job in my manicure and made my nails look excellent. Her hand massage was fantastic. Did the deluxe spa pedicure and had such a relaxing massage. Cu did my toes and got them looking incredible. Such a nice job. Really pleased quart such a quiet environment, calm music and overall relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend. FYI their prices are different than listed but all visible when you arrive, and the name is QP now. read more

This was my first time visiting this nail salon, and I was so impressed! The space is very well-kept and clean, which immediately made me feel comfortable. I got a manicure, and the experience was absolutely amazing. The staff truly take their time and pay close attention to every small detail, which made all the difference. This was probably the most relaxing manicure I've ever had. I especially loved the extras--like the scrub, lotion, and lavender water--that made it feel like a luxurious spa experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends. read more

Absolutely love this place but Ivy isn't there anymore & there's new management ! Prices seem to be a bit higher & they only take cash tips! Nice people, though. But I absolutely miss my girl Ivy & the rest of her team! read more

I came here because I saw one person write multiple excellent reviews, so I thought I'd give her a try. 2 of my dip nails came off within a few days, my entire manicure was peeled off by 1 week. If i could give this place 0 stars, I would. Would not recommend this place to anyone read more

I am a regular customer at the formerly PQNails. I was there only 2.5 weeks ago and decided to drop-in for brow chin lip waxing which is on my six week routine. So this was just a touch up before travelling with very hair removal. Normal cost is $32. But they wanted to up-charge me to $42 for the same service. WTHeck!!! That's a 23% increase!!! I am a senior on a fixed income. This is now one luxury I must forgo for food and shelter. Too bad...they lost a good customer. read more

I've come here 3-4 times for gel manis and pedis. I really liked it here because they slightly do a better job than salons nearby. Today, I went to get my gel removed and they asked me 3 times if I wanted a pedicure. I said no, just remove the gel. I've gotten my gel removed here before. One visit they charged me $7, the next visit was $10 and today they charged me $12! This is all within 3-4 months of each other. I questioned why it was $12 and the woman was trying to explain that if I had gotten a pedicure, then the removal fee would be cheaper. This is such BS. I felt like because I didn't get a pedicure like they wanted me to, it would've been cheaper. When I got in my car, I called all the other salons nearby just because I was curious how much they charged. They all confirmed their gel removals are only $10. I feel like Q Nails did me dirty and charged me $2 extra dollars just because I didn't get a pedicure. Word of advice, don't let them hustle you and throw a random price at you. Especially if you've been a loyal customer to them for months. BYE Q NAILS. read more

Everyone was very nice, and Jenny did a great job on my nails! She did the exact shape that I wanted, and never made me feel like what I wanted wasn't going to look good, like some places that I've been to. 10/10 would go again! read more

I love this place! My go to nail place. The ladies here are very nice. I can usually just walk in but making an appointment is recommended in case they're busy. read more

This is my go to nail salon. I have been coming here for years and have had multiple nail technicians. I always call ahead to schedule an appointment. I appreciate how they take their time and my pedicures/manicures always last. It's a calm environment, the feet and hand massages are great, and their prices are fair. I typically get dip or gel and anytime I show them a desired nail design, they make it happen. I've tried places closer to my home and it doesn't compare to the quality and kindness at this nail salon. read more

NN Nails - Gel manicure: French tip with chrome - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been going to this nail shop for a year now and every time I go they do an amazing job and they never disappoint. Kim does my nails and she's great at it. From time to time someone else will do my nails, but they still do a pretty good job. Pricing is not bad. Especially for the service that they provide. The shop and ambiance is good, the room temp. Is never uncomfortable always good. The AC is on on hot days and not too hot during cold weather. They always ask or give you a bottle of water, which comes in handy from time to time. The staff is respectful, and always appreciative. This is a good place to get your nails done, especially if you live in the area. read more

If you're looking for ombré acrylic nails, this is the place to go! I usually walk in with no wait and the workers are nice. :)

I love q nails bc all the estheticians pay so much attention to detail and really take the time to make sure that you love your nails. I am usually pretty simple when it comes to getting my nails done, but I saw some pictures on Pinterest and asked Kim if she could do it and she did not hesitate. She totally knocked it out of the park i love love love them!!! Even when I kept going back and forth on pastel or neon colors she let me take my time. Nails weren't too think which I hate and shape is just right! Can't say how much I love it more read more

I would highly recommend NN Nails! Normally I have to make an appointment for nails at any other salon with weeks in advance but at NN Nails they were quick to accommodate me the same day! They even work Saturday and Sunday which make it super easier for anyone who works 9 to 5 to get some self care done. They also were super welcoming and friendly. Excellent customer service and I loved my manicure I will most definitely come again and excellent rates! Keep on the great service read more

Wow such great service. Tiffany did my manicure she is so personable and honestly I'll be coming back just because of the quality of customer service she provides. They were absolutelThe customer service deserves a 10/10. They are fast and get you in right away. The finish product is amazing as well. read more

Came here on a whim because I needed my nails done for my birthday. I don't think I've ever had such great service at a little nail salon. I ended up getting the SNS powder dip service and my nails look incredible! Shoutout to Maya who took so much time and care into ensuring my nails looked perfect. She ultimately topped the SNS dip with a gel top coat. I can't decide I'm going to like it though because gel tends to peel off my nails relatively quickly but hopefully since this wasn't on my direct nail but rather over the powder, it'll help last longer! PS they probably have 50 colors of the powder. Worth it! read more

$25 for a Callus Treatment Spa Pedicure! What a killer deal! Plus, if you check in on Yelp you can get a free sea salt scrub! I have been on the hunt for a nail salon that I can go to monthly that does quality work for a good price & I believe that I have found the place! It is really popular & when I came, every seat was filled. I felt bad because they were about to close in 45 minutes but they still accommodated me. My girl took her time to give me a wonderful pedicure & was very friendly (but did not talk too much which was great!). She ended up staying a little after 7p to finish with me & never rushed & that was important to me. The massage chairs were comfy & clean. They have a vast amount of colors to choose from. My girl gave me an incredible leg massage & my legs & feet felt so smooth! The parking lot is small & you have to either U-Turn at the residential area to get in or slow down as you are coming down the hill to turn in. It is close by to what use to be Albertson. read more

The last time I was in nail salon, the person went crazy with the buffer and basically removed my nail on my big toe. Since then I've been avoiding nail salons for a year and doing my best to do my own pedicures. Enough time has passed. My nail has grown out and I've missed the pampering so I look through yelp for an option and settle for Q nails. I walk through the door and barely sit, before I'm asked to select a color. Lovely, there are five overwhelming racks! Who can keep track of this? Lisa invites me to sit in a chair that already has a cold bottle of water waiting for me. Nice. Outside of clients chatting with each other, it's a quiet place with a man (I'll assume the meticulous owner) constantly cleaning. I checked in with yelp for the sea salt. That's worth $6. Lisa did a terrific job. She was gentle, focused and neat. I'm thrilled! She has earned my trust to visit again. Hey Q! Thanks to you hiring Lisa (she's been there, I'm able to venture back to the pedi world. read more

I was in the area and went here just before NYE. They got me in right away and after 3 weeks of stay at home mom cleaning, cooking, taking care of a wild toddler, washing a couple dogs, camping, and working out, these gel nails are STILL on and haven't even started to chip. Normally I'm lucky to make it 2 weeks. I don't live close to this salon but I will be back just for the quality work they do! Update: 4.5 weeks later and these gel nails are still on. Had to trim them and added some glitter to hide the grow out until I can go back. Amazing. read more

I have never left a nail salon happier! I diligently searched yelp for the best nail salon for dip/SNS/powder nails and decided on Q nails based on their reviews saying they have a great color selection. Boy were the reviews right! Such a great color selection for dip! I got my nails done by Ivy and she was amazing. I have never felt more cared for. She actually cares about how your nails turn out and doesn't just rush through her work. This was my first time getting dip nails and also my first time getting my nails shaped anything other than the usual square. I am blown away with how great they turned out and catch myself just starring at my nails! Ivy pays close attention to detail! I have attached a photo of what I asked for and a photo of my nails afterwards, so spot on! Overall just so happy with my experience at Q nails. Clean salon, and great service! read more

Great experience! I was visiting my family in San Diego (I moved to OC). I decided to treat myself, so I headed over here since it was close by. The lady who did my nails was very sweet. She cut my cuticle a little too close and started bleeding ever so slightly. She IMMEDIATELY sprayed disinfected it and applied an ointment on time. It stopped bleeding, but she felt so bad that she gave me a complimentary nail art on each ring finger. I thought it was sweet of her, plus she was very remorseful. She took ownership of her mistake and wanted to make up for it. I've been cut several times before (and way worse) at other nail salons and those nail technicians just pretended it didn't happen, or they would say "sorry" and just paint over the bleeding. Literally. At the end, I loved my nails and would come back here again if I'm ever back in SD! read more

*ALWAYS schedule an appointment* cause you'll get priority! I had an appointment at 5:30 for a mani/pedi, came a little early and got seated right away. Natalie did my pedi and she is the sweetest gal ever! Her and I had a good conversation and she was very gentle and thorough in her work. I wish I got the name for the girl who did my nails cause she did an AMAZING job! I'm coming here again for sure! A really big plus for me was that all the tools and nail files were sterilized or new. I noticed that with every client that came in a new sterilized pack of tools were opened. I also noticed the tools go into a sterilization box. This location provides mini Kirkland water bottles, such a nice thing to do! The owner here is constantly cleaning and near closing time he takes Clorox or Lysol wipes to clean all the seats, handles, basically anything that's commonly touched! This place is a hidden gem FOR SURE, and I'm glad I found it! read more
