    Ken did my acrylic fill with design

    Best nails I've ever gotten is through pixie nails. With the holiday season coming up, I thought I'd share what my favorite artist there does:) his name is Ken! He can do any design you show him and he TAKES HIS TIME

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I came with my 4 year old and the staff was absolutely wonderful and patient and magical we both walked out with the best mani-pedi. Coming back forever thank you.

    Service list/menu

    It was my first time getting dip and Julie was my nail tech. I told her I wanted a natural look and she helped me pick out a nice color. We had nice conversation and she explained dip vs gel to me. I liked that she read the room didn't carry on the convo too long so I could enjoy the chair during my pedicure. Location is good too- right off the 15, next to Starbucks, and plenty of parking. Prices are reasonable but the only downside is that no mani pedi combos. Still I will return bc of comfortable/enjoyable the service was and I really liked the end result.

    Rainbow fun for the kiddo
    Kimmy C.

    This is a cute little shop tucked on the back side of the Starbucks. Literally park in the Starbucks parking lot and you'll see the adjacent door to the Starbucks. It's right off the 15 freeway and across from McDonalds. Parking lot doesn't offer much space.. but there's places to park. Came by to treat a girlfriend and her daughter for a bday mommy-daughter nail spa date. Yelp brought me to this location and I loved the little girl spa chairs they had for the little kids. My friend's daughter at 2nd grade was tall enough to sit with her mama and get her nails done. We were the first customers that AM on a Saturday. It remained relatively empty for the time we were there (only other family of 3 joined later), but definitely a lot of customers calling in. All in all I had a pleasant experience. They have a decent selection of colors but will "highly encourage" the gel and the packaged services (because of course it costs more-- i don't blame them for trying to encourage the business). They also have a menu of services that I would recommend reviewing in advance. When you're sitting in the chair and they throw a two page menu of options.. you just opt for the cheapest one because you have no clue unless you're a nail salon expert (which we are not). So we opted for whatever the citrus lemon combo that was simply your standard hot water spa with a couple of slices of fruit thrown into the water. We managed to settle on just color (not gel) mani pedi + kids mani pedi. The kiddo in our group wanted rainbow on her fingers and they were kind enough to accommodate once they understood what it was that she was seeking. Momma picked a color that looked bad on her hands and they were kind enough to let her chose another color. I had no complaints in general. When the dark color I picked had places where the color wasn't painted thick enough, they repainted/ accommodated without complaint or attitude. I went in with some researched simple designs (dark french tip) but that was another charge that i wasn't willing to fork over so i just got one solid color toes and hands. The polish did last much longer than i had expected so all in all no complaints. They didn't cut too short over all and they did do the callous treatment on the pedicure. The chick who did my pedicure did a fantastic job. The owner took over for my manicure and although it was a bit rushed in terms of paint job.. it was.. acceptable. Again, she was kind and friendly. Nothing fancy and not something to rave over the top about but it was a "not bad" experience overall. Didn't end with any infections, paint job lasted a good amount of time without too much chipping.. and I always round up for family owned businesses.. so I'd give them a solid four and might come back. Very kind folks overall. Note: they do take credit card but will try to encourage the payment in cash (and they do have an atm). Go check them out!

    Worst nail polish. Looks so grainy and bubbly. This was after I nicely asked her to fix it. Horrible customer service. Waste of money.
    Angelica S.

    TLDR: I really wanted to love this place. Manicure looked fine in the store but dried bubbly. Went back for them to fix it, and the manager was extremely rude. Ended up taking off the polish and redoing it myself the same day. Went in for a pedicure, but they convinced me to get my hands done too. Initially, the service itself was nice. The ladies were friendly and cared about the little things like making sure that the water was just the right temperature and that my back massager was always on. As soon as I left, I noticed that the polish was drying with bubbles, which has never happened to me before. I was nervous about going back, but I figured that even though they were sweet, the final product was not worth the price at all. I knew it wasn't their intention for the nails to look like that, but I did pay to have nice nails for a few weeks, and they were so friendly that I was sure that they'd handle it. I was so wrong. As soon as I went back, the manicurist looked apologetic and wanted to fix it, but the manager overrode her and insisted that she do it herself. Instead of repainting my nails, she just added a thick layer of top coat to the already overly thick paint job that didn't dry down at all in the time it took me to go all the way home, decide I wasn't satisfied, and come all the way back. She even said it was my fault for holding my hands too close to the fan. She rushed me out of the store before I could even see if my nails were fixed. The manager's "solution" made the problem even worse. This was very frustrating because they weren't even busy at the time. There was one other customer, and 5 employees so it's not like fixing my nails would've made any other customer have to wait or anything. I ended up taking off the nail polish myself (which was its own task given that it was painted on so thick), and repainting it the same day. I wanted to like this place. I really did. But customer service (or lack thereof) shows when I respectfully asked for something to be fixed that wasn't my fault. Huge waste of money, time, and stress.

    Nail polish on the cuticle's, nail polish looks so bulky and not smooth.
    Krystal D.

    Horrible full set service. My nails just look like big blobs. My pedicure was great, but my nails were not! I asked for coffin. This is not coffin. My thumbs are different sizes and shapes. the nails look bulky. I understand that coffin may be hard but communication would be nice. I could've done a different shape if she was not able to do coffin. (that's okay I've been told in the past it's hard. I'm okay to do a different shape.) the sides are so uneven. The acrylic is bulky and not smooth I explained that to her. Then she attempted to "fix" it still looked the same. I went here based on the reviews and pictures of the nails shown, they are beautiful!. I'm not sure what happen to mine. I wanted a simple color with chrome on top. I'm Not sure if it was the nail tech and lack of services out of her scope or what. Maybe I went on the wrong day. It was busy at all. It was just myself for bit and then someone came in for a pedicure. I wanted my nails done for my birthday. I'm just not happy at all with my nails.

    Booth pedicure
    Niki H.

    Found this place right after the 2nd covid business nail salon reopen for inside business. OMGOSH!!!! Teri is the best.. I had jewels I did not want taken off and she was able to do my ombré nail fill just perfectly. She was also able to fix my shape from square to coffin and still keep my length long. I called in hour before closing and they took me in no questions asked and then still offered to do a pedicure (much needed) The customer service from both ladies was just amazing (I'm getting my foot massage now as we speak) the lavender pedicure special on the booth is beyond words. Perfect for this first time moms outing on her own. Best hour alone!!

    Gel French mani
    Jenny D.

    Nina did a good job on my Gel French manicure! She was so gentle with my removal of previous gel and she is also very kind. I like getting nail techs who care about their work. Thank you and when I'm back on town I'll be sure to see you again.

    Acrylic gel nail art fill

    Ken does a fabulous job with my nails! I got a much needed fill with gel polish. I've been getting my nails done with Ken for a while now and have never had a broken nail. Not only that but his nail art is incredible! This time I went for a subtle Christmas theme. I've also had amazing pedicures here! No nail polish smell and clean tools! I highly recommend. All the staff kind and consistent.

    Injured during manicure.
    Towen T.

    Let me just be fair. I've been to this place for years and they've done great jobs for my nails. But today they cut off a big chunk of my left thumb! It was bleeding badly and still hurts after hours. I'm sure it was an unintentional fault and I still tipped the technician, however I think I'm too scared to go back. That's so sad

I read about her before booking the appointment and it said she was the employee with the most time in the company. However, her attitude was tremendously horrible. I have to clarify that I arrived on time to the place, but the girl at the lobby was attending another client and was giving her a full introduction about all the packages and promotions they have, and afterwards she proceeded to charge her for the service she had taken. The receptionist took around five to six minutes doing it, until I had to interrupt her and tell her that I had an appointment at 5:30 pm with Shardonnay. It is at that moment that she notified Shardonnay of my arrival. When Shardonnay received me, she had an extremely negative attitude with me, since from the moment she greeted me, she did not allow me to go to the bathroom (which I needed) and started giving me a lecture about punctuality, without even asking me or asking herself or asking receptionist girl, if I had arrived late or if something had happened at the reception. It was to the point that she was not even able to greet me, but very frustrated about her tight schedule, she basically started scolding me and telling me that the service was not going to be the best because she only had 8 minutes to attend me since she had another client after me and that I "had arrived late"... Now, it is important to clarify that if that had been the case, the place policies give a 8-minute window to the client to arrive and still receive a good service. However, she kept saying that the service wouldn't be the best. At first I stayed quiet, but after she kept literally blaming and scolding me, I told her to do her job, but that I did not agree with her attitude, cause of course she had a very bad attitude cause of her frustration. She kept arguing and arguing until I literally had to tell her "just do your job". Very shamelessly she tried not to attend me because she now felt that I was angry, thing that I did not allow her to do because I did not drive from Chula Vista to Miramar, 30 minutes, for her to cancel my appointment just because she was in a bad mood. I sat down and took my service. She did a Brazilian service in 5 minutes. It hurt a lot, of course, because she was already upset and also in a rush, so she was very rough when pulling the wax. Afterwards she realized her mistake and started apologized, to which I literally responded that she didn't have to, what she did was already done. I only made her aware that I arrived on time, the receptionist took time attending another client, and I paid the price for it. So she can keep the apologies and that for next time she learn the lesson and at least she can greet and say what she have to say in a proper way. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY NO, and especially not with her. She may have been working there for many years, but her service and customer attention is THE WORST. She could have gained a loyal client, but because of her rudeness she did not.
