Came in today for gel polish set. I usually get gel-x but I wanted to give my nails a break. Christina did a fantastic job at taking care of my nails and she spent a lot of time making sure my nails were prepped thoroughly and shaped the way I wanted them. My appointment was really quick and I appreciated how efficient she was. The salon has a relaxing atmosphere and the workers were all very nice to me. Would definitely come back again! read more

I decided to try this salon for the first time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Linda did my pedicure. When she removed my nail polish, she asked if I had gel on, and I told her no -- I've never used gel polish. She kept saying "gel" in her own language to the other ladies working there, and I repeated again that I've never used it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After she finished cleaning my nails (using regular polish remover), she showed me the pedicure options, and I chose the $47 one. Her work itself was good, and the foot massage was great. At the end, I gave her $10 cash tip (two $5 bills) and asked her to charge $47 to my card. When she brought me the bill, it was $54. I told her I had chosen the $47 pedicure, but she kept saying "gel." I asked that if she was charging me $54, then please return the tip I already gave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another lady, who seemed like the manager or owner, stepped in and said they would charge me $54 but that Linda would keep $5 of my tip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terrible customer service. I really dislike when staff talk in their own language about customers instead of communicating clearly. It made the whole experience uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never going back, not the relaxing experience I was hoping for. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]They're always available when I walk in and always do a great job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always get a good massage too . Thank you!

I have been going to Lauren for my nails over a year now. She does a great job and it always lasts SO long!

Bright and quiet nail salon, not too big, but enough space to accommodate 10-15 clients comfortably, in my opinion. Learned they are a cash only business. There is a USBank atm just outside their door. Nina is wonderful! Visited friends in the area and she took us here. It's in a beautiful and quaint shopping center near the restaurant Dolce. Received a standard manicure and spa pedicure via walk-in service and I was helped immediately. My two friends had an appointment and needed an additional walk-in for another friend. The staff are wonderful and so attentive. Beautiful gel French manicure and French pedicure. I am very happy with both services. Even enjoyed an extra 10 minute neck, and neck/shoulder massage while I waited for my friends. Additional information: Not sure what the cost was for each service, but for my standard, gel polish French manicure, a spa regular polish French pedicure, and a 10 minute neck and shoulder massage, total came to about $75ish+ gratuity. Can't recall exactly. Wonderful venue and I will revisit when I'm in the area and in need of a mani/pedi. read more

Pinnacle Nails - Summer French Manicurr - Nail Salons Near Me - Del Mar, California

Wish I paid attention to their names. My foot manicure was wonderful and professional. Previous visit was 5 star. Not this time. My Dip was terrible: Grinding down my own nails to remove the previous dip... leaving them fragile. And why? Grinding around cuticle bed causing me pain, not once but 3 times. Each time.."I'm sorry". My dip usually last me up to 3 weeks. This already chipped in one week. Plus I have to file my nails because they are breaking. Sorry, wish I knew her name to tell you to Not allow her to work on your hands. I'd like my Money back since I have to have my dip re-done and my nails are so short from breaking. Real disappointment. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I asked her if she can fix it and she said it was my finger lol will not go back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I see a woman get a pedicure and they did a really good job and rubbed her legs for a long time but for acrylic nails hell no. read more

I'm surprised this location is still open because almost every time I go in its empty. I've been going to this nail salon off/on only because of convenience. The salon is in desperate need of a deep clean. The service lacks care and quality. The employees seem so unhappy. The last time I was there one of the women asked another to do my pedicure while she did my nails. (her response was why) in front of me?? I think maybe the person doing my nails was in a rush so she did the worst job ever on my gel nails, within a week they were chipping and the polish is horrible. And even though the sign says "cash only" they will accept a credit card if they decide the machine is working that day for a fee. After this experience I will not be returning even if it IS so close to my home. Pay attention to the other reviews, this not a friendly place. I highly do not recommend this salon. read more

Not an ethical place. A friend of mine has her nails done in this place and recommended it to me. I decided to try it. I had a regular pedicure. Not impressed with the service. Not a friendly place either. Christina was my technician. She didn't accept a credit card charge which made very inconvenience for me. As I was driving home I called my friend to share my experience and I mentioned how expensive this place was. She couldn't believe how much more they charged me. She was as upset as I was. Yes, few dollars more, but the fact I was not charged the same as my friend I found to be not acceptable. read more

I don't know why this place has such low reviews, they did a fantastic job! I called for a same day appointment and the owner said to come right in. The owner, Phong, did my full set and they are beautiful! I also got a job pedicure and the lady did a great job. The place is clean. I definitely recommend this place can you give it a try!! read more

What an amazing experience I had here today!!!. I have been here several times over the years and have never been disappointed but at the same time I have never been amazed either. Today was a very different experience. First, I have to be honest when it comes to getting my nails done, I find it a chore. ‍ I love the pedicures because of the massage but hate my fingers nails and the process to get a French gel manicure. Not being able to use my hands and the patience of sitting there well be probed at, is probably a lot of the reason. Today I was offered a new service instead of gel. My gel manicures no matter where I went to get them done, seemed that they would start to chip and break before the two weeks were up. I hate having chipped, ragged nails and how tacky I feel when going over paperwork with clients with unkept nails. I refuse to do acrylic for many reasons. I type at my job and meet with clients so need to have nice nails that are durable. The only reason I get my nails done is for work. I met with Michelle today and she told me about a new dipping technique that appeared to be more durable (she had it done on her fingers) I went with it and the process was so easy, in my opinion so much easier then gel. I love my new nails and they look & feel stronger. I have finally found my nail person in San Diego and I am so thankful for the recommendation and how quick the process was. I like them short and natural looking and she nailed it. No pun intended Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Ladies are friendly and I always love chatting with other people getting pedicures! Fair price and massages are spot on

This is the worst nail salon I have been to in this area. I tried it a couple times before in the past, and it continues to be a total letdown. My gel pedicure was fine. Every time I get my acrylic gel fill or a new set they grind away at my fingertips and my cuticles and then blame me for it saying that my nails are too short and that's why they keep filing on my finger and cuticles! I was like "what?" My nails were not at all too short. The lady proceeds to tell me that she couldn't do the shape I want because they needed to be longer, and so I said forget it I'll just do it myself. So then I filed them in the shape that I wanted which showed her a picture of initially. In the picture I also showed that I wanted black French tips which she said she couldn't do because it was a different color and the white French tip is better. I said, never mind just paint my entire fingernail black. So basically, I did part of the work for her, she blame me for the fact that she kept buzzing and burning my cuticles and fingertips, and she either was too lazy, or just simply didn't have the skill to do a different color of French tip which, in that case she shouldn't even be doing nails. read more

I made an appointment for 9:15 am today. There was no one there when I got there... all locked up! I went to their website which said they were open and tried calling. No one answered. In my 22 years living here I have never had this happen. This salon was very close to my house so I thought I would try it...big mistake! read more

Great job, good polish, talented staff. It's usually possible to walk in, but an appointment or calling ahead is recommended.

There's a popular car wash across the way and I needed to kill a little time, they only take cash so come prepared. My manicure was done by an older gentleman and my pedicure by a young man... They did a fine job but I think the kid was new, he wouldnt look at me and the older man was on and off the phone, barking instructions to everyone and we didn't say much to each other...yeah.. Awkward. Also my nail polish peeled within a couple days. I'll also mention that while the price was reasonable at 38 bucks total before tip, and they seemed busy with regular clientele, the facility wasn't super clean or updated. Meh, I don't think I'll go again, catch me killing time on my laptop next door at bBar instead. read more

Worst nail salon! Don't go here! They did a terrible job it was dirty made my nails uneven then only accept cash! Yes no credit cards how crazy DO NOT EVER GO HERE YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED read more

THIS REVIEW IS JUST FOR WENDY! I know a lot of people have complained about this place, but it's only because they didn't have Wendy as their manicurist. She is absolutely fabulous, and she's the only person I'll have work on my nails. She's very quick and good at what she does. She's done touchups on my acrylics in about 45 minutes. I've never had to wait for her because she's always very accommodating to me. She's even offered to wait for me until I got off work! I work really close by, so this location is pretty convenient for me to go to after work or during my lunch breaks. The salon itself is pretty small and not very well kept. I don't really understand what they say (they speak Vietnamese for the most part), but it's ok because I'm usually focused on my readings or something else when I'm there. Another no-no - they only accept cash. Overall, I continue to go back because it's pretty convenient for me, and Wendy knows exactly what I want and delivers. Brownie points for her! read more

I really loved what they did with my nails BUT... as soon as I walked in there was a mildew smell and it reeked of fish. I don't know what they were cooking and I didn't want tI know. The bathroom definitely could be better but over all it was okay. They didn't even take care of the dirt under my nails read more

I went in a couple months ago after salons were able to re-open inside. They had portable plexiglass barriers set up so it seemed like they were prepared to take precautions so I walked in. However, they pushed the plexiglass barriers out of the way and didn't use them. The woman working on my hands had her mask below her nose. I paid extra for the callous removal and my callouses looked terrible still after I left. I also got the dip on my hands and it lifted and broke on a few fingers within a few days. I was the only one in there, others must already know not to go here. read more
