    I came in for a manicure and pedicure and had a mixed experience. My pedicure was done really well and I was happy with how it turned out. Unfortunately, my French manicure was very disappointing, especially considering the price. The white tips are uneven and wavy instead of clean and symmetrical. The lines are thick and bulky in areas, and you can see where the polish was not applied cleanly along the edges. The smile line is not smooth, and from the side the tips look raised and unrefined. A French manicure is a pretty standard service, so I was surprised to see this level of inconsistency and lack of precision. It doesn't have that crisp, polished look you expect. I'm sharing photos so others can see what I experienced. I really wanted to love the result, especially since my pedicure turned out great, but the manicure did not meet expectations *****Update**** The french nails pics were take. 30 minutes after I left and got home. I just took a shower 4 hours later and now my pedicure is coming off. Don't spend your money $110 for crap!

    Service requested and quality wouldn't honor my Groupon made me pay in cash did a classic set in 15 to 20 min which these are not classic and they are all falling off she told me it was not her problem I would have to repay and this is the same day by the morning all lashes were off

    Perfectly shaped

    Cindy is amazing! she did my eyelash extensions and nails. The salon is clean, sanitary and relaxing. phenomenal experience and absolutely in love with the results.

    They are so friendly here and always do a quality job! This is the best place I've found in La Mesa

    Positives: staff was friendly and I was extremely excited about them having an 8:30am appointment available. They also offered complimentary drinks which is a nice touch. I originally asked for gel x (which I found out today on their website that they do actually offer) the male tech doing my nails didn't seem to understand what I was referring to, so I settled for just a simple manicure nude/natural gel polish or French no added enhancements. I actually did not receive a manicure but the male tech said he could do this on my short nails "for me" using acrylic. I haven't had acrylic nails in 5-10 years, so I forgot about the up sales ... anyway, I felt pain on my left middle finger but figured it would go away after a little while; fast forward a week later it's still very painful so painful I could not touch iI removed the acrylic coat and on the side of my finger was pus bubble.. I'm not sure why that happened but I'm afraid that as badly as I wanted that to be my new nail place, I just cannot do that service again, it honestly makes me question their sanitary practices. Overall- beautiful shop, friendly staff, I just had an unpleasant experience.

    I love my nails! I booked my afternoon appointment (12:15p) the morning of and stumbled upon two of the best nail technicians! Annie sculpted my hard gel nails to perfection! She listened when I asked her to keep them thin rather than bulky and didn't try to force me to place a tip on my short thumb nail. She helped me choose colors based on what I was asking for and was so gentle with my brittle nails. Jennie perfected my raggedy toes after I cut them too low to manage my running and hikes adventures. She playfully berated me not to touch my feet because she was going to take good care of them and that's exactly what she did! I am reluctant to write this review because now there will be more clients potentially taking my next appointment, but this is what Yelp is made for!

    I have been looking for a good nail salon for a while here either in El Cajon or surrounding areas for when I am in town. If you are looking too, look no further. This place is fairly new, I believe about 3 months and trust me, they did not disappoint! Annie did amazing job. Everyone here works fast, efficiently, and they are very kind. I took my daughter with me, because she wanted sparkly nails and they did just that, although little I was very happy at how nice and attentive they were with her. I will definitely be coming back when I am in town again.

    Amazing customer service. I got My fill and pedicure at the same time making my appointment nice and short. The music is great and the range of colors is impressive. Not to mention that they have great prices. Again great customer service.

    Super crooked thumb nail

    First time customer, called ahead for a spa pedicure and fill. Everyone was super cheerful and polite when I arrived and I was placed in a chair right away. Tony did a wonderful job switching my nails from stiletto to coffin shaped and helped me pick the perfect burgundy and peach combination to really bring the autumn theme to life. I was a little bummed that he didn't paint the tips of the nail, it left them looking unfinished, but he explained he never did the tips because it would throw off the rest of the nail? Not sure, but it wasn't worth fixing apparently. Thank you also to the young lady who did my toes, she did a wonderful job but i didn't catch her name. Overall a great experience, just wish i felt better about how my nails turned out. Pictures below. Quick add on: Now that I'm looking at these photos, I realize there are places on my nails you can see straight through the color... sigh. Not changing my rating, but less excited about having them.

Both services were reasonably priced. The spa is small but clean and bright. The staff were friendly, and there's plenty of parking right outside. The only minor hiccup was a brief communication mix-up (English isn't everyone's first language here), but once I clearly restated that we wanted pedicures too, they immediately moved us into a booth, and took excellent care of us. Overall, a solid, no-fuss experience. Great for a quick, affordable pamper session. I would definitely return!

It's a bit more old-fashioned - instead of folders of colors to choose, you select from their wall of polishes, many of which looked old. They have lots of well-worn towels and mismatched decor, so it looks a little rundown. But the ladies were nice and efficient. I went with my teenage daughter who doesn't prefer cutting her cuticles, which they respected. But then didn't offer any massage or scrubs for her either, which I was surprised by. The lady who did my pedicure offered a really great massage and scrub. Overall, it's a great time if you're looking to save on the experience and lower your expectations compared to other salons. I'm not a fancy nail person and don't use gel polish, so I like it for what I'm looking for. Will be back!
