It had been a while since I had been back here. I like jumping around places to compare techs and experiences. This time they were not too busy I got seated right away. I had one lady for toes and a different one for nails. They are very gentle and shaped my nails exactly how I asked. Overall I am very happy. call ahead if you don't want to wait because on some days it can be a busy vibe inside and you may have a wait if you want a specific tech! read more

Went in for a manicure, I know I didn't have a lot to work with but I would have liked even nails, cleaner under my nails..,,And the cracks on the side of my thumbs filed a whole lot better. I payed. I tipped and they left me sitting in the chair to use their file to fix my nails and cuticles. I give them a 3 only because the lady was very friendly. But I won't go back read more

This review is for acrylic nails. I've been coming here for about a year and today I had the best experience. I love how Amy and Ha worked as a team on my nails. I usually ask for a French tip but this time I wanted something a little different so Ha stepped in and did a wonderful job. I love my valentine nails. Make an appointment and on weekends and busy times be patient if you need to wait a few minutes. read more

Pacific Nails & Spa - 2 tone French tips for Valentine's Day. - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

I've been going to my girl Ha (short for Thuha) for about 8years now (she asks about my mom and my kids yo!) When you've found someone that just knows you and your nails hormonal fickleness, ups and downs, you stick with them. So Naturally when she moved to another location in SD county. I will uproot and move with her. With that said, Im a traditionalist, no frills, no decor, just mani, new coat, done! I'm pretty much into classics so if your that girl. Ha can be your it girl too and if Pacific nail and Spa is in your Neighborhood then it can be your it place too. They're all nice, friendly, the place is clean, and sanitized! They're busy but not overly promised busy! There's men get their nails done and I've been nosy and looked at other nail techs job and they do good work! Caveat- if you're looking for ambience, wine serving and bougee uppety.. go elsewhere. Photos below are some of Ha's work throughout the 8-years I've been seeing her. read more

Shitty place, worker I don't know her name but she fucking sucks, she rushed the whole manicure and just a shitty outcome on the nails. Nails don't match and she's fucking rough yanking and shit read more

I called ahead of time and showed up on time, knowing that some nail techs do acrylic and some don't. I had Amy takeoff my gel X nails and do an acrylic full set for me . The whole time she was just saying bad things about my nails and myself in Vietnamese to the staff there. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldnt share with her that I was Vietnamese and I understood everything she was saying. She saw my nails and told the staff that they were so ugly because they were black and long coffin shaped and then she complained about removing my nails and not trying to just have the patience to take them off . She complained that they weren't coming off and at the end they all came off which was fine and then she proceeded to tell me that I should just take the acrylic color all over my nail. so she didn't ask me if I wanted to look at colors she just decided that my nails were going to be a natural pink shade because she liked this color. She put the pink powder all over my nails shape them and then just put a topcoat on it and said hear you're done . She was also complaining of enemies how I was looking at my nails so much because I was comparing it finger to finger to make sure that they're even. Overall, the salon charged me $70. They said it was $55 for a full set and $15 to remove my old nails. I'm extremely unsatisfied with my experience at the salon, because I typically don't want to talk badly about my own culture and my people but Amy is one of those nail techs who actually just talks poorly about her clients. read more

The acrylic manicure was extremely rushed and the lady cut me. She was very rough. I wanted French tip but she used an extremely pink base and no colors matched, so I had to pivot. The nails were too thick for my fingers and after requesting several adjustments, I felt like I was bothering her. she was shaking her leg impatiently and tapping her fingers. My cuticles were not cleaned and I had left over dry acrylic all over my fingers. I left thinking I could deal with the nails but after seeing everything in better lighting I decided I wanted them removed. They did not let me go back to get the removed!!! I wasted $100. I never leave reviews but this was not a professional experience at all. On top of that, the pedicure was super blotchy. I paid $40 and didn't get everything mentioned. I asked to get the foot mask and they just kept telling me they don't do it anymore. The pedicure lady was kind. But I did not get what I paid for. read more

I found this place by accident, and I'm so glad I did! Close to home, conveniently located, and great service! I've been back a few times, and every time, I receive the best service, quality nails, and chill place to spend my time and money. Amy is my go-to nail stylist. She is quick, professional, and always delivers great work! My nails stay perfect for a long time, and I love them!! read more

Amy saved my life. Two days ago, I had my acrylics removed and my nail tech (somewhere else) thought the powder dip was a good option instead of an acrylic overlay. Bad choice. My nails were too thin and 3 of them were cracked the next morning, another cracked day 2. I was taken as a walk in, on a Sunday right away. Amy was surprised my former nail tech did the dip on my nails and quickly got to work taking it off. Amy was very meticulous with her work and I'm very happy with my nails now. Plenty of colors to choose from. The staff was very pleasant. They have a stamp card - save $10 after 10 services. I'm definitely going back. read more

Amy is amazing! Fast and on point. She has been doing my nails over time for a while now and I am pleased with her services. Thank you.

If I could give zero stars I would. We will never return. My teen daughter paid $50 for these nails. Amy didn't want to refund or remove the nails. She finally gave in to doing a whole new set. As she re-did the nails she was crying and complaining about losing money and being rough with my daughters hands. Pulling, pushing and purposely filing her skin. I'd never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Pacific Nails & Spa - Beautiful Acrylic Full Set by Amy - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

Well I hate to say it but I am no longer a customer. Amy started slacking on her work and is so busy that she rushes you and just does a sloppy job. If you have an appointment she will still take the next walk in before you get there and make you wait. It's rude and inconsiderate. The last time I called and asked if she had time for me on a Sunday she said she would call me at 930 when she got there. No call. She finally called me at 11 and said come now!!! So I rushed out of the house within 15 minutes. As soon as I exited she called and said "I am busy now please come back later" wait... what?!?! After I drove all the way there and rushed she took another customer and left me hanging for the very last time!!! read more

So this is my second time going to this nail salon the first time I went I got an hombre gel and within a week they were early coming off really looking nasty. I said OK I will go back and give it another try ! Made my appointment everything was good this kid young guy started getting me my pedicure was super gentle with my feet I felt like it could've been a little bit more rough he was super super gentle. a woman then takes over and starts doing my toes and for some reason I felt like she was just kind of nervous I don't know she was really nice everybody was really nice let me just say that Another woman, I think her name was Amy starts doing my hands while on the massage chair getting my pedicure. Then we move to her desk and she starts with my nails everything looks good and I'm watching her and everything looks fine. As she's doing my nails she tells me that I need to pay them there and then so I paid her and I ended up wanting to get my eyebrows done she brings the wax and everything out of the wax room and does them right there at her little desk ... personally though wow ... way to make me feel good. I felt rushed so I left when I got home I took a good look at them and oh my god I am not happy at all !!!! They are more square then Coffin and messed up the application on the nail. On top of that when I was getting my pedi my feet were put in a bag with liquid that turned into a wax substance. Well when I got home i still had wax on the heels of my feet ! I will be expecting some sort of refund ! read more

Sadly I will not be returning, I've been a customer for a few years now. Since COVID their work has gotten sloppy and not worth what you pay for. They rush you and do a sucky job. The last time I went in was for my usual gel pedicure. I had two people working on my toes, they only talked amongst themselves. They painted my toes first THEN soaked them and did the scrub/massage. Who ever does that?? read more

Susan does an excellent job. I've been coming to her for months and my mom has came to her since I was a young girl. These nails always last 3-4 weeks. My nails never break. Susan always takes her time and gives a great massage with a pedicure. The salon is cute and everyone is very friendly. read more

The service is very good. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I'm only going four stars because the prices seemed pretty high to me. I got a gel manicure and gel pedicure and paid $60. When I called before I went I am pretty sure the lady told me a price that was way less but I just paid and left. I wish there was more clarity on the prices. read more

*Sorry for the not so great photos, I just wanted to snap them real quick before I submitted my review* I was DYING to get my nails done as they hadn't been done for months with all the COVID regulations. They were able to take me in that day and Mimi, the lady who did my nails, knew EXACTLY what I wanted and did them perfectly. She took her time and was super detailed but worked time efficiently so I wasn't sitting there for hours. My pedicure was amazing and felt sooooo good, and they got rid of my calluses after months of buildup. They also worked at the same time (Mimi and the other tech working on my feet) so I was done with both around the same time. The price was super reasonable also! My feet and hands look so good, they scored a new customer as I'll be back regularly for my fills and pedicures :). Thank you so much for the amazing service guys!! read more

Pacific Nails & Spa has great service but it is best to call and make an appointment most times you can get same-day appointments. Pedicures are a dream the simple $18 one is great and the $27 ones are even better! Full sets are fantastic I love the great job they did on my nails! Waxing is great as-well I have gotten my eyebrows ($8) and underarms‍ ($13-up) waxed here they are very sanitary and quick I will definitely be going back for both! read more

Love Amy and staff, me and my 5 year old daughter go there every two to three weeks and there super sweet. I get fills and my daughter gets manni, peddi, they take care of her and always ask her if she wants water. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

I visited this salon this past Sunday. They were very accommodating and kind. Mimi, the nail tech that did my mani/pedi was very nice as well. I feel for all these business that have to change their work practices due to corona virus. They made all the changes inside the salon to comply with regulations and now that is all out the window. Starting next week, they have to move outdoors again. Very hard situation. Please support our local business. We need them as much as they need us.. read more

Just moved back to San Diego and was looking for a nail salon I can start going to. I got a full set and a pedicure. I had an appointment so I only had to wait about 5 minutes. The salon itself is really cute! I had a pedicure done first and the guy who did it was great! My feet are super soft and he took his time to make sure they looked great. I then got my full set and this is where it went downhill. The woman who was doing my set seemed like she was rushing because there were a few other people waiting. She shaped my nails and I had to ask her twice to reshape them because they were so uneven. They're still extremely uneven but at that point o didn't wanna ask her a third time. They're also very lumpy and the polish job is not that good. Everyone at the salon was very nice but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Was on the fence after reading reviews . I was charged 104 for short acrylic nails , and a pedicure . I was way overcharged especially after hearing the original prices listed on their wall and specifying no gel on my toes . They did a good job but way too expensive for mediocre nails that aren't long and one color . They said 14 was charged on top of the 37 pedicure for it being gel at the end even when I said I don't want gel . However they were extremely nice so that's one upside of going here . read more

I'm a regular customer of this nail salon. I was a walk in and was greeted by a new nail tech by the name of Mimi. She was very nice and told me that I could trust her doing my nails as my regular person Amy, who is the owner, was not in that day. Mimi did a wonderful job and always listened to what I wanted, she took a lot of time on nails and toes and she even did a fantastic job with my eyebrows. I will be going back to Amy!!! read more
