This looks like absolute crap! Never again!
Elizabeth C.

So I previously gave this place a 1-star review for a lost gift certificate that they would not honor. But since it's so close to my house I decided to give them a real shot at my nails. It's HORRIBLE!!! There is a check in discount on Yelp for this establishment for 10% off. They do NOT honor that. They said it was previous owners and it doesn't apply to them. Ok whatever. I got a gel manicure and pedicure anyway. The pedicure was so bad! I got the middle of the road pedi and I wish I would've just got the standard because the girl did nothing extra that I could tell. Very minimal massage, weak paint. It was pretty bad, but I got charged for the upgraded pedi. The gel manicure was even worse. My nails are lumpy, nothing looks even. I had her put a black dot at the base of my nails which are all different sizes. My cuticles look terrible, which is weird because they looked good before I went in! It looks terrible and it cost me $90. Apparently the black dots were an additional $8 too, which wasn't even explained. I gave them a second chance but wow is it bad. The place is in desperate need of a cleaning and upgrade too. Will not be back and I would suggest you find a different spot as well. I've tried twice so you don't have to.

This was my first or maybe second visit in to Perfect Nails. I came here with my other half, bestie, and niece with plans to just get a gel mani and ended up getting a pedicure and a full set. First, the salon was clean, bright, lively and very busy. We had called in advance to make an appointment and I'm glad we did. We were seated at the pedicure seats right away, turned on the massage chairs and immediately relaxed. My pedicure was perfect, with a wonderful foot/leg massage, and the technician was super sweet. I tried almond shaped nails for the first time and am super happy with how they turned out, I didn't want them too long and the length ended up being perfect for me. I also asked for a french tip in the same blue I did my toes in with a glitter kind of ombre. I showed my nail tech a picture before we started and explained to her what I wanted. Good communication is key to getting the nails you want, showing them the reference pictures BEFORE you start is super helpful so they understand what you are asking for. I love my services from Perfect Nails.

This was my first time visiting perfect nails. The nail techs were very nice and accommodating. I absolutely loved the work they did on me and my daughter. The technician was fast and very good at her job. I will continue to come here. Thank you Leslie and the younger girl who was so sweet. I definitely recommend this place.

Went here randomly as my normal place was closed. Ana was super friendly, and was able to accommodate to my needs. She payed attention to detail and took her time which I feel is rare at nail salons. Will be coming back :)!

Nice clean Pedi -
Shelbie J.

I was quickly attended to which was nice as I was told they are usually very busy. My technician -Tran-was able to have a small conversation with me which was nice and she could respond in English to my personal requests regarding my pedicure. As I am new to the area I am still searching for "my" nail spot and this may be it. My pedi came out great , all my toe needs where met the color is new to me yet one I'll repeat. The salon was neat and clean , there was no music or TV playing but that's ok - quiet is good. I'll be back -

I appreciate they let me walk in on Mother's Day when they were probably busy. Pedicure was excellent but my gel manicure was terrible. She put way too many layers and I kept trying to tell her it was going to peel right off and she just kept saying it looks pretty.

These are supposed to be Pink and white?? Don't think so!
Heather T.

Walked in since I was next too UPS Store, thought I would give them a try. Pedicure was good a little fast. Did not massage legs for a the minutes they were supposed too. Pink and white nails, not too happy. The lady thought she would do my nails they way she thought they should be done. Pink and white to me is not like a French manicure. Pink and white should be ombre or the pink powder a little more Pink then what I got. Not that happy. Wont be coming back.

Nail that feel off on the fourth day after
Carrie F.

I do not even know where to start with this place. If I could leave negative stars i would. I went in on Friday October 21, 2022 with my daughter and asked if they could do two fills and they said yes. I asked about the wait and they said 5 min. They took my daughter within minutes. I sat there for about 15 min before someone started my nails. My daughter was done in about 30 min and her nails were crooked and her cuticles bleeding. The lady that did mine filed off my gel and got prepped to file my nails. Well the problem at this point was she did not take care of the acrylic that was lifting and was prepared to just file them. I am a licensed cosmologist and my mom has been a licensed nail tech my entire life (over 40 years) so I told her you need to remove the lifted stuff off then start the fill. So she did. I also had a broke nail that she had to fix. She put the tip on and then cut it really short but the rest of my nails were long. She need said is this to short and I said yes so she attempted to remove it but couldn't so just glued another tip on top of the other on. Then when she built the nail it looked like something my 9 year old put on. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt that she would shape it later. So fast forward and now she is at the finishing point and I had to ask her several times to shape the nail that she built. She got it looking better but no great and it was sticking up and lumpy and my other nails were very thick. At this point I am 1 1/2 hours into my fill. When she shaped my other nails one side was squared and the other side rounded. Normally after a fill and filing they ask you to go wash the dust off of your hands before applying the gel, she did not do that. Then the manager comes over and applies my gel because now it has been 2 hours. Thank goodness my oldest daughter was home because my kids were getting out of school. Well the gel was sloppy and not even close too my cuticle making it look like I needed a fill. At this point I just wanted to leave. I was charged $85 for mine and my daughters nails. Let's Faust forward to Sunday October 23, 2022. One of my nails was coming off. My daughters gel was coming off. I did not realize they were open on Sunday so I waited until Monday October 24, 2022 and called and spoke with the manager (they one who applied my gel). I told her i was not happy with my service and wanted my money back. She said I need to see your nails. So I pick up my daughter from school and go up there. She said oh I will fix for you and I told her no I just want my money back. She had about four other people come look at our nails and she just kept saying we will fix it. I kept insisting that I just wanted my money back. I was calm and trying to be quite because other customers were in there. She then started to get upset because I said I wanted my money back and loudly said I can not take the money back from the owners. I said this is part of having a business, sometimes you lose money. I told her that I was licensed and I would report the business to state board and her response was "go ahead" and then I said again I want my money back and if I have to I will call the police to get my money back and she said "go ahead" At this point another customer started yelling at me telling me that she is a paying customer and I was disrupting her service. I said well I am a paid customer too and not happy with my service. She then advised the manager to take her appointment that was waiting for her and that she did not need to talk to me. She then walks away and goes to the customer just leaving me standing there. I then went outside and call the Oceanside police. They were sending someone out but there was a long wait. About 10 min later they called and asked if I could explain what was going on so I did. He told me this was civil and there really wasn't anything they could do but would still come and I said no its ok because he gave me advice. His advice was to write this review and file a civil suit. I said ok. After I hung up I told the manager what was said and said that I would give her one last chance to give me my money back or I was going to sue them. The customer she left me to do said she is going to sue you and she still refused. Sooooo after all of this that is what I am going to do. Within four days our nails are falling off. Avoid this place at all cost!!!!!

I've been semi consistently getting dip powder on my nails for several years now and I've never received as bad of a manicure as I got here. They were rude and aggressive. When she removed the current polish using the power file, she went so hard my nail beds were burning and I kept telling her that but she would yank my hand back. Her dip application was sloppy and haphazard and then she used a file to get the product off my surrounding skin. Again I told her it hurt and she yanked my hand back. Eventually I was bleeding in more than one area. Now several days later 4 of my nails have broken off down below the free edge and the dip powder is lifting from the base on the other nails. It takes alot for me to leave a poor review but this was too horrible not to.

Leslie is the best! She does such good work, been going there for years and my nails never lift or have any problems and they are always done perfectly. Pedicures here are so nice too and all the girls here do a great job.

Gel mani
Ali M.

This is so close to home and they are always so welcoming. The owner- she never forgets a face. I think they are one of the best nails places here because they don't skimp on the massage. I think they do a good job and the prices are pretty on point with other salons in the area. Would recommend for any nail needs. Plus there's food and drink in the area nearby so you can grab something while you wait or for during.

So awesome!!!
Kayla D.

The ladies are very lovely and kind! Stopped in real quick while in the area and they took me at the last minute as a and were not even annoyed! Lifesavers! They have great attention to detail and really care about their clients! I love my nails and the color I chose came out beautifully! Extremely friendly - everytime I'm in town I will come here for sure!!!! Highly recommended, exceptional customer service, 5***** STARS!!!!!

Perfect nails!
Anissa C.

Tina and her daughter are incredible! My sister got a cool design too and my pedicure was chrome. They can do almost anything you ask for and they are easy to work with when it comes to the little details. This place is such a hidden gem!

My fingernails were so ridged and not shaped right before having Leslie make them stronger and prettier.

I am always apprehensive of new nail salons as I'm fairly new to the area still and have only been to two other salons in the few years I've been here. However, Luxe Nails Lounge has surpassed and exceeded my expectations with the last three visits. Julie is my new favorite artist. She listens, explains why she can or can't do things and is very transparent, and loves to try new things and gets excited with every idea. I will be coming back for her and the staffs overall warm and welcoming attitudes. Very accommodating with drinks and they even helped get my bangs out of my face when Julie was doing my nails lol.

He's seriously talented when it comes to detailed designs. Their prices are also really reasonable for the quality you get. I'm honestly so grateful I found this place and highly recommend :)

A great pedicure! I made an appointment, and did wait a bit to be served (about 15 minutes) but…read morehonestly I've rarely been to a salon that actually honored appointment times. I got the sea spa pedicure, which included a massage and a few masks. The pedicure was thorough and I appreciated how sanitary everything was, alcohol spritzed after every step and sealed tools. I've had pedicures be rough or unpleasant before but this was great, will definitely be back.

So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon!…read moreThese services are expensive!! I had a bad experience last week at Vdara. I asked for short dip powder nails and she tried to give me a gel X fill instead without telling me. However, I have been getting my nails done often for years, so I noticed what she was doing and I reminded her I wanted to switch to dip powder this time. She said no, we'll do gel X fill it will be better. (She means faster and easier for her instead of doing a new set.) I said no, I want dip powder. Finally I convinced her to do what I wanted. As we proceeded to do my nails, I kept asking her to file them shorter and kept noticing that they were crooked. She would try to move onto the next step and I would ask her if she was done filing noticing that they were all crooked and uneven lengths and shapes, so I would tell her, she would try to fix them, but she just could not. They kept coming out crooked and different lengths. Meanwhile, during the whole service, the phone keeps ringing and she keeps going to the front to pick it up, her cell phone keeps ringing and she keeps picking it up, people keep leaving to check out, and she kept leaving in the middle of my service to go check them out. This happened around ten times. Made my service nearly 2 and a half hours for these nails. I go to pay, and when it comes time to tip, she reaches her neck over-the-counter to make sure that I press something so I felt pressured to leave her a tip that I did not want to give because it did not seem like she cared about my service at all. (I'm a server. I ALWAYS TIP. And this time I did not want to. That says a lot). I get in the car to take a final look at my nails and see that they're all crooked and choppy/flaky and that there's a black mark on my WHITE nail on my pinky. I honestly just started tearing up, I know it seems silly but $80 for these simple little nails and a terrible experience right after work, almost taking three hours? I wish I never came here and just waited a day to go to my usual salon! Nevertheless, I went home and filed them all myself, which removes the sealing of topcoat, so now I will have to go spend more money on new nails sooner than usual because these will not last long. Waste of money unfortunately...

This is my second time in years getting my nails done here, and I only tried again bc I thought maybe they would have improved in years gone by. I had my nails done two days ago with gel and tips done long. The first attempt by one woman was terrible. The owner then said she'd fix it. At first when done I thought it looked fine but as I left I realized they were just as bad. It's very difficult to build a round natural nail shape in the middle with gel. My nails look flat and warped and not even. Maybe they are better with acrylic but I'm extremely dissatisfied with my gel nails. They're basically wasted money. So unfortunate. I don't have it on me to call and ask for my money back. They also already look like I need a fill. I shortened them more so they'd look a little better but I'm embarassed. I dont get my nails done often but needed to for work and now have to get them redone somewhere. SMH. Maybe the photos don't reflect but they look worse in person.
