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.

Tee always does my bio gel manicures and is consistently delivering quality work while being very nice to talk to. After he did my nails the first time I knew I would come back to see him every time, because it is very clean work and he keeps the nails pretty thin. He clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and will make sure you love your nails before you leave. I recommend him to all my friends who compliment my nails. They also grow out very strong and can last for 3-4 weeks. The color is his own mixture with chrome on top and I get it every time because it's that good. Rose always does a great job with my pedicure as well, she is super sweet and puts a lot of effort into customer service.

Today My friends and I were enjoying our Sunday and decided to go for a girls spa day to relax. One of my friends recommended this place shes been going for years and untill today. We were talking and having a good time both of them were having man & peds one of the ladies arrive to do the manicure with a bad attitude and started to pull her hands and screamed at her not to move she. I understand she could have sad it in a nice way not with that tone then she started to hurt my friend cutting her finger and pulling her hand my friend told her to stop she dint want her to continue doing her nails she asked for another person she became more upset and insulting my friend and sad that no one could do her nails. When it was time to leave she charged my friend for a job she did not complete. This is unethical and the worst customer service we were treated with the worst service and we were kicked out ! read more

I don't know what people are smoking giving this place a good review. Not friendly, not clean and the two gentlemen who seem to be running the show can't turn over customers fast enough. I had a mani/pedi at the same time and after my fingernails were done I had to ask to get three nails touched up because the guy missed like the whole side of it. The place is small and crowded. I was trying to dry my nails as the guy was trying to make me pay, I was checking to see if my nails were dry yet before reaching into my wallet and the guy yelled at me and said "They're dry! $31 dollars!" Not worth it to save a few bucks- I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on. read more

I come to this establishment pretty often to get my nails done, because they always do a really good job. They take their time, and I never feel like they are rushing. There is always soft music, and the ladies there are very nice. I just go in to get a polish change, which is $7, and the color seems to stay on my nails longer than any other place that I have gone to. I don't know exactly why that is, but my polish lasts at least five days before its starts to chip. If there are people already there getting their nails done I never had to wait long for someone since they are heavily staffed. read more

We are from out of town and my sister was getting married in San Diego at the end of June. Wanting to get a mani/pedi, we went to Perfect Nails on a Wed afternoon with an appointment for all 6 of us. They got us all in right away and did an excellent job on everyone. I've never had a neck and shoulder massage with a manicure, but boy was it worth it! I think everyone, including the bride, was pleased with the effort and the results. Would definitely go here again, and the prices were very reasonable. read more

I've been to many nail salons in San Diego trying to find one that suited me and my needs. My first time here the owner greeted me at the door. Very attentive. Everyone was super polite. I believe it was David that took care of me, he was super quick and understood exactly what I asked for. My nails are an important part of my daily look so getting them done exactly how I want is a must! They looked great and I left super pleased. So happy I found this place. read more

Of course some are better then others (technicians) but I cant tell who mine is because it is already hard getting in with her.

I've been coming to this salon for years, which is why this experience was so disappointing…read more I made a noon appointment for a manicure and pedicure. Before coming in, I called to ask if I could arrive at 12:15, but they told me they were too busy and that I needed to be there at noon. I arrived around 12:05, and as soon as I walked in, two employees told me they couldn't take me and suggested I come back another day. After I reminded them that I had an appointment, they asked what kind of nails I wanted. When I said I hadn't decided yet, they told me they didn't have time for long nails. I said I was happy to do short nails instead, and only then did they agree to see me. Once I sat down, I was told I couldn't use the same color for my manicure and pedicure because they didn't want to share the same bottle between technicians, so I had to choose a different color for my toes. Then I asked for my usual dip manicure and was told they only had time for gel. When I asked about dip, I was told they had already informed me of that, which they hadn't. If the type of manicure affected scheduling, someone should have asked when I booked the appointment or when I called before coming in. Instead, I felt like I was being treated as the inconvenience, despite having an appointment and being a longtime customer. I ended up skipping my manicure altogether and left feeling disappointed. After years of coming here, this experience was enough that I won't be returning.
