I went to Kalen for the first time for a builder gel fill and design and she was incredible! She copied the design I wanted immaculately and even adjusted it to fit on the shorter length to keep my natural nails. She was so kind and I was shocked by how fast she was able to do the design, 3D and airbrush style, all while still having such attention to detail. 100% will be returning. Price was also very reasonable for the complicated design. read more

Love PB Nailology and especially Kalen! She always helps come up with the best designs and truly does an amazing job replicating the vision! My nails consistently last four weeks without lifting or chipping! She is the best read more

I've been a loyal customer of this nail salon for a very long time, and it's truly my favorite. Everyone here is always so kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive; you can really feel how much they care about their clients. I especially want to highlight Denise, who is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to ingrown nail care. Her expertise and attention to detail make such a difference, and I always feel safe and well taken care of. Even though I've moved far away from Pacific Beach, I still happily drive one hour just to come here; and especially for Denise. That alone says everything. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great service, professionalism, and a warm atmosphere! read more

Disappointing customer service!! Here I thought I found a new permanent nail salon, however, that is not the case now! as soon as I walked in i was greeting perfectly fine was told to wait a moment.. totally fine! brought to the chair and greeted with a forced smile by the rudest woman with glasses.. have had rude experience with her in the past, being very snippy! (.i tipped accordingly to her attitude, so she may remember me idgaf!) anyway she asked me a few question and then randomly started yelling at the poor girl in her native tounge clearly talking shit. after several awkward moments later i was told they don't have time for me. why even seat me?!? i just had to get up and walk away. truly is a shame because ara does beautiful work. good bye nailology there are plenty salons with less entitled nail techs. read more

kalen is my go to nail tech and she always does an AMAZING job. She's receptive to any changes or fixes you request and makes sure you leave the salon loving your nails. She's extremely kind and a super hard worker! Perfect shape and design every time. 10/10 recommend! Krystal is also a wonderful tech which I've had great experiences with! She is quick and thorough and leaves your nails looking fabulous! My fav tech for pedicures is Helen. She is so sweet, and is super detailed with her pedicures. My gel pedicures last me 2 months with her! :) read more

This nail salon is my holy grail!! All of the workers are so sweet and the music is always trendy and hitting. They get my nails exactly like the inspo photo everytime and is honestly the only nail salon i've been to that's consistent. read more

Had my first appointment at Nailology last January for a manicure and pedicure with Kalen and had such a great experience! My nails lasted my whole trip. I went back for simple Valentine's nails and I still have them now -- it's been 6 weeks and the retention is chef's kiss. Kalen is on vacation right now, so I'm just waiting for her to come back because I won't let anyone else touch my nails! read more

Best nail technicians in San Diego. I've been getting my nails done here for about five years and stopped going to other nail salons because nobody does it better than Dylan, Rachel and Krystal at Nailology! I get acrylic fills and designs and pedicures and always get compliments! Super clean and careful work also. read more

It's been over two years since I started coming here, and this place never disappoints even from day one. Every time I come here with some complicated designs, they always make it look exactly the way I want them to. I need to give Krystal a shoutout because she really has been the one who get my nails perfect, and I don't just mean the designs. I'm also talking about the shape of my nails are always perfect. Every single cent spent here is so worth. read more

Came here for my birthday nails and had the best experience! This review is overdue because I came last year for my birthday nails and had a great experience then as well, but this review will focus on my experience yesterday. I sent a text to schedule the appointment and was able to get the time I wanted and confirmation of pricing, so no surprises at the end. I had an intricate design that I wanted so I sent them the inspo pic ahead of time, this helped a lot. Ara did my GelX set and she did a PHENOMENAL job! She took her time and was a perfectionist about the design, she checked with me along the way to make sure I was happy with it as well. I'm obsessed with how they turned out!! I also got a Matcha pedicure by Dang and it was amazing. Highly recommend and will be back for my next set, can't see myself going anywhere else after this. The front desk woman was very friendly, and the salon was clean. Thank you so much! read more

LOVE LOVE the work and art Kalen does. The whole place is phenomenal. Kalen always outdoes herself every time she does my nails. The designs are always so crisp and exactly how I imagined and even better! Even if I lived on Mars, I would still fly back to get my nails done by her! read more

It's my first time at Nailology, and I absolutely love the experience! The salon is clean, modern, and so welcoming. Ara is amazing - kind, passionate, and incredibly detail-oriented.

The final results turned out even better than I expected. I'll definitely be back! read more

Went with my sisters in law and niece... Ben did it again... I'm obsessed with my Xmas/New Year set... I did builder gel with extensions. My sisters in law had builder gel and acrylic. Unfortunately one of them wasn't too happy with her set because it wasn't as thin as she wanted and this individual nail tech didn't thoroughly clean her nail beds and cuticles, but she is definitely going back for either Ben or the other. Thanks! read more

Service: Gel X $90 I've been coming to this salon since March and I've always left satisfied. My nails have always came out flawless and retention 10/10. My most recent appointment was Saturday July 6 and I was serviced by a nail tech I hadn't been serviced before but I figured their work would have been up to par, since in the past I had different nail techs service me and their work was beautiful. I realized during my appointment he would apply the gel x nail with glue and rip them off right away, I was confused and it felt uncomfortable :(. Once he finished I noticed immediately my nails looked as if they were out grown already and my middle finger nail was crooked. I didn't speak up which was my mistake. Lol I still tipped on top of that. I've had these nails for a week and they look like I've had them for almost 3 weeks. I don't see myself coming back :(. read more

I made an appointment with Kalen and arrived on time, polite, and respectful. Unfortunately, the experience was the opposite of what I hoped for. The technicians were loud, rude, and made mean comments about customers -- including me -- for no reason. I asked for a French coffin fill on my existing acrylics and mentioned it multiple times. I had two broken nails, which I expected to pay for, but Kalen cut one off, saying it needed to be replaced, and assured me she wouldn't charge for it. After filing for a bit, she left to work on another client, leaving me waiting 15-20 minutes. The whole time, they joked about my nails being "too long." The worst part -- she filed so aggressively that she cut into my skin multiple times, leaving three fingers sore and bleeding. I told her it hurts, but she kept going and never apologized. When it came time to pay, I was told $72 without a breakdown. The posted fill price is $45 plus $3 per nail fix, and I didn't gel color just the powder. Kalen raised her voice and claimed it was a "full set" because she filed off the old powder -- which is exactly what a fill is. She added $7 for "extra length," even though I've never been charged extra for this length. When I asked what considered not extra length they showed me the receptionist nails which was extremely short, she said anything longer we charged an extra $7, that's definitely a lie because they charged almost everyone $7. My nails were already coffin shaped, but she's charging me for my shape as well? I didn't change my nail shape when another tech there, Ben did my nails 2 weeks ago. Even with her numbers, the math didn't add up. The receptionist charged me $67 and admitted she didn't know why Kalen was being so rude. I've been getting my nails done every 2 weeks for years, I know pricing very well and don't mind paying for what I did get but I'm not when you're trying to take advantage of customers. I left feeling overcharged, disrespected, and with sore, bleeding fingers. read more

I've been to Nailology a few times and have gotten a removal done before, but this removal by Milly(?) was rushed and left me with uneven nails with sharp edges. I needed to get gel polish removed and my nails to be shortened. But she cut them down into the skin underneath my nails which hurt and I told her so, but she continued to try and cut and pull the nail off the skin which hurt more. Then, after acetone and foil, she filed my nails & exposed skin (which I said hurt again, to which I received no comment or apology). Even with the file and drill, the edge of my nails were still jagged and sharp. I'm really sad for my nails because I generally take good care of my natural nails, but now I have to deal with the exposed sensitive skin until my nails grow out. read more

Pb Nailology - Simple set - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I went to PB nailology about a week ago for the first time. I loved my nails right after getting them done they were so cute. I had work out of town the next week so I wanted them to look nice as I went to talk to my colleagues. My service was wonderful and the location was clean and comfortable, but two of my nails broke not even a week after getting them done. I have gotten builder gel nails for the past year and I have never had a nail break any earlier than 3 weeks after they were done or filled in. One of the nails that broke was one that my technician redid and the other was one that was filled in. When they broke I was doing nothing out of the ordinary, just my usual day-to-day typing and cleaning, and there was no unusual force put on to the nails. Iwas hoping I could make PB Nailology my new go-to salon but sadly the work was not up to par. read more

$71 pedicure, not including tip, (which they had me point to a paper which I chose the $36 one and they didn't mention it was additional to the base $30 and gel fee) and they couldn't even do square shape like I asked. Sad and disappointed. I had let my nails grow out (except my big toenails weren't as long) so that they could have something to work with. I understand a few nails not being square shaped but all 10 of them? Also, the chrome doesn't look very chrome. I have a bday photo shoot and unfortunately these nails will forever be photographed/: Wish I could get them redone by the weekend but they cut/filed them too short to fix... read more

ONLY GET YOUR NAIL ART FROM KRYSTAL:) I came here as a recommendation from a friend for "really good nail art". I showed an inspo pic to the front desk and got a messier version with black peaking through for $65. He offered to redo it for me but I didn't have another hour to spare. Not everyone has 3 hours to waste in your day... I called back the next day and asked for a color change with Krystal because I hated it and heard she did the best art. They said she was busy and I would need to pay $30 because I didn't wait for the same guy to redo them yesterday????? I feel like I should not have to repay for nails they did poorly especially when the reason is because it was the next day... Also the front desk lady was so rude for no reason, if your establishment messes up please be nice to your paying customers, maybe even try to make it right.... Krystal called me back and said she could fit me in and she did them so perfectly. I wish they could have gotten it right from the beginning and I did not have to pay $105 with tip but lesson learned Will not be coming back here!!!! read more

Pb Nailology - Acrylic French nude base with pink tip! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I used to be a loyal customer at Nailology for about 2 years, and at first, I really loved this place. They were great at designs and seemed professional. But over the past 8 months, the quality and service have completely fallen apart. My nails started breaking, popping off, and chipping constantly. My nail health got worse and I even ended up with a nail fungus after coming here. I gave them multiple chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but every time it was the same thing bad quality and nails that wouldn't last. Then, when I went back to get a fix, they refused to take me and told me I was blacklisted. For what? For issues that came from their poor products and work. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. On top of that, they constantly overcharge. You'll expect to pay around $60 for a fill or full set and walk out paying $80-$90. When you ask why, they make up excuses or just say "that's the price," even when it doesn't match what's posted. Yes, they can do nice designs but it's absolutely not worth it. Between the poor quality, terrible customer service, and dishonest pricing, this place is a mess. Save your time, money, and nails DO NOT come here. Try Pacific Beach Nail Spa or PB Luxury Nails instead. They actually care about their customers and the quality of their work. read more
