This used to be my favorite nail salon, but lately it feels like they are scamming customers.. I had builder gel applied to my nails one week for $65 with $5 added for V french then 2 weeks later I came back for a fill and a different nail tech wanted to charge me $80 off the bat! When I brought up to the price difference to the nail tech she agreed to match - I am thankful, but why would I have to point out that I was being charged $15 extra for a fill vs the set? The nail tech and receptionist chalked it up to being a different shape or color when it was the same shape and color as the two weeks prior.. Getting my nails done here turned from relaxing to feeling like I have to speak up for myself or they will squeeze as much money out of me as they can. The nail tech trying to squeeze money out of me wasn't even as good as the first! When I asked my second nail tech for cuticle care bc she hadn't touched them at all, she tried to charge me $10.. Going somewhere else in two weeks! And the two weeks after that. read more

I have been a loyal customer to this salon for over a year. I consistently tip $40 on a basic pedicure and have referred multiple people here because I genuinely thought they valued their customers. Apparently not. Today I walked in without an appointment and was told they were fully booked and to come back in 45 minutes. No problem. I spent the next 40 minutes walking around with my dog nearby and returned exactly as instructed. When I walked back in, they acted like they had no idea who I was and asked how they could help me. After explaining the situation, they told me they "didn't think I was coming back" so they gave my spot away to other walk-ins. That is unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. If you tell a customer to come back in 45 minutes, common sense would say you hold the spot you told them to return for -- especially for someone who has been loyal, tips generously, and actively sends business your way. The complete lack of recognition, accountability, and customer appreciation was honestly insulting. I left immediately and took my business elsewhere. After today, I will never return, and I definitely won't be recommending this place anymore. read more

Receptionist was lovely and this truly felt like more of a relaxing spa service. I get my nails done frequently and can't say I've been to a place with customer service like this. She greeted me and also brought me a menu served drinks, checked in with me to see how I was doing during the service and their prices are incredible and it's very clean. I saw them actively clean in between each client and consistently sweep the floors. This will be my new regular spot :) read more

I visited without an appointment and was taken care within 10 minutes. Yem did my builder gel and was so meticulous and thorough.

Made an appointment for 5pm. They called me and asked if I could move it to 430. I get there at 430 and two other women who had appointments at 4 hadn't been seen yet. Tells us there's only one nail tech and that it's going to be a 30 minute wait. I left, such a waste of time. read more

PLEASE GO HERE!!!! such an amazing experience. I never get my nails done, and this is my favorite nail and spa place yet.

I have been coming to Pacific Beach Nails & Spa for the past four years and have always had wonderful experiences but will no longer be a customer. Before the change in ownership, I never waited more than 15 minutes past my appointment time, and I recommended this salon to so many people because it was reliable, well-managed, and flexible if you were happy seeing any available technician. Unfortunately, since the new owners took over, the experience has changed completely. I arrived on time for my appointment and ended up waiting an hour without being seen. When I finally told them I had to leave, I was told they could take me "right then," but that actually just meant removing my existing nails. I would have then had to wait another hour before someone was available to do the actual service. To make matters even more frustrating, multiple people who came in after me were seen immediately because they had appointments with specific technicians. It seems the salon no longer operates the way it used to, where being flexible with any technician helped keep appointments running smoothly. I'm genuinely disappointed because this was my go-to salon for years, and I never imagined I'd leave a negative review. The new management has made what was once a dependable, organized salon feel completely mismanaged. Sadly, after this experience, I won't be returning. read more

I absolutely love coming here! Jennifer is the best -- once I started coming to her, I haven't gone anywhere else since! She always does an amazing job, and my nails come out perfect every time. I couldn't recommend Jennifer and this salon more! read more

I was just in town for the week and found this place on Yelp. The nail tech took her time with my gel X set and did a great job with the chrome dip. Over 3 weeks later they're still holding strong so that's a sign of a job well done! read more

This is the first and last time my friend and I will go here. We made an appointment on Saturday for Sunday at 11:00. Clearly, this place is understaffed. They started my pedicure first, then told my friend hers would start in about 10/15 minutes. Still, after 25 minutes, she said she was not going to get one, as then I would have to wait. The employee, a short asian guy with an attitude, said they were busy in the mornings...why set the appointment if you can't make it on time!!!!!! The nerve of this guy. Horrible place. read more

Have been come here for years! And Jennifer is my go to girl The space is clean, techs are so nice and do great work

This is my favorite nail salon in PB. They do an excellent job every time on my hands and toes!

Love getting my nails done here. They always have me in and out, in an hour or so. They do great dip!

Made an appointment for tuesday 4:15pm but I was running late due to traffic and they were still able to take me after I checked in at the salon. I requested Daisy (my sister goes to her) but it was my first time here. I asked if she recommended dip or gel-x with my nails and ended up going with dip. I showed her the pins I had saved on Pinterest and she followed the inspo pic so well! I will be back if I am in town. read more

My mom, sister l, and I came here to get our nails done and pedicures for my sister's wedding and are thrilled with this salon. Angie and her team did an incredible job of being attentive, ensuring we were satisfied at every step of the process, taking time to give recommendations and help us each recieve the exact nails we had dreamed of. The attention to detail and commitment to making sure we were satisfied was remarkable. My mom and sister don't typically get their nails done and the ladies at this salon made them feel so comfortable and beautiful with their results. We also appreciated the friendly demeanor and genuine excitement for the bride. The salon atmosphere was so enjoyable and the prices are amazingly competitive for San Diego! 100/10 recommend this salon read more

This is my go to spot in Pacific Beach for all things nails. I know I can come here, relax and trust that I am getting a quality service. I love that all the pedicure chairs are massage chairs, they offer a beverage with your service, and even have someone that can wax your eyebrows if you need it. The girls are always so sweet and listen to what I want and deliver. One time I got a parking ticket and they said not to worry about it. Thanks again for the great service, PB Nails! read more

Don't walk... Run Run Run away from this place! I was honest and fair with my review, but the manager alone has made me revise and correct my original review. Make the decision for yourself and read the 1-2 star reviews and decide for yourself if you want to come here. I'm not the first customer she has called a liar for leaving a bad review. I was neither rude nor was I dishonest. I didn't demand anything. Oh, also there is no parking in the back. It's for employees only as the manager stated in her response below to me. Honestly zero stars if I could give that. The manager called me dishonest, and giving false information... well I have proof that you are calling a customer a liar which is not true... check my photos. YOUR clock is in the background. Which was taken AFTER the rude greeting, AFTER I checked in, AFTER I already was seated, and AFTER she TRIED to be nice by offering me a pillow. Time on the wall is 6:43. My camera tells me picture was taken at 6:42. Fact: Angie, the manager is the actual liar. Don't come here and deal with this headache based on that fact alone! Blast backfire: I just won't come back. You have a reputation to keep and maintain. Which you're failing at. I'm not losing out on anything. Here's a tip: Listen to your customers and learn something. Note to manager, Angie: if you can do anything to improve your customer service, if you can learn to be gracious, humble, and accept criticism and improve where you can... give it a try! You as a manager should should swallow your pride and listen and learn from each experience and IMPROVE. Not go back to be combative with customers who leaves negative review and call them liars (I'm not the only one.) My photo alone shows I'm not. Thanks but no thanks. Never again. I would not ever come back to give this place another chance and I would never recommend this place. Maybe if you change management. I'd consider coming back here. My manicurist who does my nails doesn't do pedicures, so I get my pedicures wherever. She only does elaborate nail designs for an IG following. If I could get my nails and toes done at the same place, I'd follow my tech anywhere for years! So you lost a potential long time customer. Your loss not mine. As a business your goal should be and always be...Get customers, do good work, keep customers returning. All along always providing great customer service and keeping customers happy. That's basic. You should know better. Not my job to teach you that. Again, Thanks, but NO THANKS! This is honestly a sad sad response from a manager. (See below) To everyone who is reading this, buyer beware! You're welcome! read more

Time & Date: Wednesday, Sep 8th @ 11:20am Crowd: 2 open nail techs, the rest had clients Nail job: classic pedi (gel) $40 I was debating whether to post this or not because I'm not trying to post any free feet pics... LMAO jkjk. After a week of vacation doing water sports & outdoor activities, my pedi with regular nail polish chipped on every single toe & they looked so ratchet... so I decided this time I need to get a gel pedi so it can hold up for good. It was a $40 pedi which isn't cheap, but I am sooo happy with the results. Just look how clean and perfect she did my toes! read more

We had a great experience here! Comfy massage chairs, music, T.V's, and amenities that make for a nice, relaxing time. Friendly, skilled and efficient service. Prices pretty reasonable too! I love love love my nails and my husband really enjoyed his first pedicure :) Edit: I had to take off a star because one of my nails broke off literally the day after getting them done :( I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that this was a one time thing and try them again. read more

JOHANA is amazing. She LISTENED and kept asking me to check that I liked the shape, etc. she was genuine and just fixed anything I wanted. No attitude. It felt like she legitimately wanted to know what I liked. Definitely making her my go to nail tech! Shape, color and overall experience is the best I've had in San Diego. read more

It's really hard to find a great nail salon but this one came highly recommended from multiple friends at the start of COVID. I've been here twice: once during the outdoor requirements and recently after the move in (yay pedicure chairs). It was easy to make an appointment and their technicians are great! They have different pedicure options dependent upon how fancy you want to get but I think it ranges from $30-$70. read more

We were in town for a Bachelorette weekend and decided to look for a nail salon and this place had some pretty top notch reviews. It was fairly easy to reserve an appointment same day which was awesome for a Friday. The location is pretty convenient and close to lots of other shops. The nail salon is decorated really nicely and we were helped pretty quickly and shown where to look for colors. 3 of us got manicures and all 4 of us got pedicures. We were timed pretty well and finished close to each other, and we were also kept close to our group during the whole visit which was nice. All of us enjoyed our manicures and pedicures except one friend did get a bit tore up during her pedicure which caused some mild sensitivity. The nails ended up all turning our beautifully and pricing was reasonable. This place could be a 5 star experience, but for me it came down to a very simple, small fix....the cleanliness of the surfaces. The chairs and massage remotes had layers of just glitter and makeup and filth, and that's a really simple way to just make people feel good is wiping down the chairs more. They were pretty filthy. Pretty much every surface that wasn't for doing nails could use a simple wipe down and looked like it hadn't been for a long time. read more

Gel nails done by Jenny and got my brows wax! Four stars because the gel coat is a little thick on the tips but not that obvious. I'm just a little picky but I still love it! Not from CA so I was very nervous about my brows but she did a good job at cleaning them up! read more

I've had many a pedicure and I've gone to many a salon and I can honestly say this is one of two of the CLEANEST salons I've ever been in and the staff were AMAZING! I made reservations online on Friday night for Saturday which I was so happy to actually see Saturday had a lot of appointments available throughout the day! I had the refresher manicure pedicure combo, I'm not sure what the technicians name was but she was very sweet, she did a really good job on my cuticles but I wish the massage time would've been a little longer...I'm used to my regular technician doing a 10 minute massage on the legs...this massage was probably a total of 4 minutes. Parking is street side which is a problem but other than the parking there's nothing that wouldn't stop me from coming here for another manicure pedicure combo! read more
