I chose the salon because my salon wasn't gonna be open for another hour. Bad choice. I wanted a gold chrome fresh tip. The nail tech technician Cathy said she could do it. I showed her pictures, and she could not. I got there at 9:20 and was not out of her chair until 1156, and this is what I left with. She couldn't do it, the chrome wasn't sticking and you could see black through the chrome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She kept trying to make excuses and the whole experience was awkward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got on the phone with my other half and was in tears and just told her to please stop at that point because there was no fix to it. Do not go here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At the end after I asked her how much I owed she swung her hands into my face, seeming to apologize, but it was highly weird and awkward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please don't go here if you're looking for anything on your nails

Uneven French tip color tone and can see the missing acrylic on the pointer finger on the tip.

It was my 1st time going to this place and I will definitely not be going back. I had made an appointment with Ken over the phone and upon arriving for my appointment I was started on my pedicure in which I had on issues with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had requested to get my nails done by Ken when making my appointment, but instead the same older lady with the glasses did my nails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was all closer to closing and I would've been just fine returning the next day for a better service, but instead my service was rushed. I kept correcting the lady because she had not applied enough acrylic over my nail. She then said that it was okay because she was going to file everything down. She also didn't apply enough acrylic on the tip of 2 nails and it looked bumpy, so I corrected her again and she gave me the same excuse. She then got to doing the French tip and the design is not even. Upon doing an additional design I was already frustrated and upset and I told her that I didn't like it and to remove it. She removed it and kept insisting in trying to fix and, but at this point I didn't want to pay extra for additional designs on my nail when they already looked terrible. I can tell that the service was rushed and there is an uneven color tone on the French tip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt bad in the moment because the lady was trying to be nice to me, but I don't understand why someone would provide a service that they are not good at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I complained enough in person that I got tired of it and paid for the service and left! If you look at the pictures closely, you can see that the shape of my nails arent even, they look bumpy, the sides are messy and the French tip is uneven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lastly, after the lady removed the glitter design from one hand she placed gel over it and later told me that my nails had glitter. She asked me if it was okay and I said if she can remove it with something and she said no. She then asked me again if it was okay. Not sure why she asked if I had no other option than to say that it was okay and let her move on with what she was doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I'm honestly so sad about my nails. I should've known that the salon being empty when I went was the first bad sign that I shouldn't have gone here. I got my nails done last Friday (only 3 days ago) and as you can see in the videos and pictures, my chrome is already coming off. There's also little bumps on my nails. An older lady did my nails and I felt like she didn't know what she was doing. She wasn't even keeping track of the time I cured my nails. I paid $53 and tipped generously still because I felt bad. I've honestly never had a bad nail experience so this was just a bummer. I'll be going to get my nails redone sometime this week, but I will never go back here again and I encourage everyone to do the same ):

Been going to Ken for so many years and I've never been disappointed in my nails. Month after month I can never pick which nails are my favorite because he does an amazing job each time. All I do is show him a picture of what I want and he works he magic and makes my nails look amazing each and every time. I'm consistently getting compliments on every new nail design and I'm always send people to Ken because I want them to enjoy their nails as much as I do. I even got my best friend to start going to him every month also I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they very much deserve it.

Update!!! Had an appointment today at 10:30. I worked til 10, and rushed to get there. When I arrived, Ken wasn't there. I asked a woman when he would be there and she said 15 or 20 minutes, you sit down. I waited 15 minutes. I finally got up and told the woman to tell him that I wouldn't be back. She said, "okay". Ive waited many times for Ken, usually when I had a 9:00 appointment, but I usually just blew it off. Not today! They have no respect for your time, and certainly you'll never receive an apology. I might also mention that I always tipped at least 25%. I won't be back, and will never recommend them.

Absolute worse nail experience ever in 30 plus getting my nails done The technician clearly did NOT want to be there. I realize good work is hard to find these days but running my own business I would rather work short staff And be on the floor myself than have someone work for me with the poorest customer service this woman provided Grabbing pulling cutting and causing unnecessary pain was beyond unbelievable. I left without even getting them painted. Enough was Enough. She removed nails and didn't put tips to replace the ones she removed. I paid for the service And spoke to the "so called" manager when I left and left WITHOUT tipping Which is not typical. I'm hopeful with the amount of positive reviews this salon has the other technicians are not like the one I had. And I'm more hopeful No one suffers the way I did if they get This woman

Best nails I've ever gotten is through pixie nails. With the holiday season coming up, I thought l'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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best experience I've had and I'm picky! Haha[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I read the amazing reviews, saw the photos and booked an appt. I've never had nails gone so horribly wrong. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The older lady seemed to have an attitude with me when I pointing out the odd looking shape of the nails[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (I was very nice with my tone and words, so that she didn't dub me as 'a picky client' to no avail). She'd reply with "We file it" so I trusted the process. I asked for short almond nails. Not round and a little pointy. Went with hard gel overlay instead of acrylic. I noticed the nails looking very concave and again, she said "We file it". She pretty much filed all of the hard gel off. They're very concave. You can see where it's down to the plastic nail tips on the corners of the nails. On my right hand, each nail is a different shape with slanting. The polish looks globbed and my nails are paper thin. I came home, found another place and am leaving soon to have them fix this mess. I paid. I tipped more than 20%. I'm too nice. I just wanted to get out of there. Ugh. If I could leave ZERO stars, I would. Don't go here.

I've come here 3 times since April 2022. First time I came in April was day before my wedding. They were great! The acrylic nails, pedicure, and face waxing was absolutely perfect. I regret not writing down the name of the technician who helped me. I returned a second time in May and the service was okay. I got a fill and pedicure. Pedicure was great but the fill was okay. Had some mistakes. Today, (June 9th), I returned for a an acrylic nail fill, pedicure, and eyebrow wax. The eyebrow wax was perfect and I was very happy with the pedicure. But the fill is substandard. ‍ definitely more mistakes than last time. I know I'll be returning at the end of June for another set before I go on vacation, but, I definitely need to ask for names and make specific appointments with technicians because the quality of service is not standard across. If next time doesn't go well, I'll just find another location. Also, mainly posting for others to be aware. This place has potential, but not all technicians have a keen eye for mistakes.

Sandra W.

Place was clean, and services were well done and well priced (Gel mani/pedi). I would go again.

They always achieve what I request, I asked for this beautiful design and it was executed in strides, absolute precision and accuracy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love yall! Love the music and their professionalism and to top it off they are amazing artists![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I feel as though I left worse than what I came in with. Today was my first time back in over a year and I went because I knew they almost always have availability. I needed gel removal and a REGULAR manicure. My lady was so rough with cuticles and cleaning out from under my nails. There was no one in the salon and she was still rushing the process. I was scared when she sprayed alcohol on my nails worried that I would have a cut. Luckily I didn't.... Until after she went back and cut more my cuticle ending in me bleeding..... she didn't say sorry or try to fix it, she was just hoping I wouldn't notice. Then was Time to put on the polish, she was prepping for gel when I already said Regular manicure. She acted like she didn't know. Not like we talked and she got carried away. Anyways, I'm more upset with how rough she was with my fingers because that hurt not to mention she butchered my cuticles! I tipped her $2 for the whole service ($25+$2tip) and was annoyed with that. A star for taking me in as a walk in.... I guess..

I've been to a lot of different nail salons and I'm tired of being told no to even the simplest of designs. My best friend recommended Ken to me and he has been the absolute best. He's not a "no" guy, he is the "yes" guy; and every person who wants designed nails should have him in their life. Tell him what you want and he goes out with a bang! Plus their prices are great

This place is amazing!!!! I made an appointment to get my nails filled and a gel manicure with some nail art ($51 total) and the service was amazing! They did a fantastic job removing my old gel polish, making sure it was even, and the lady took her time filling in and shaping the nail after. The polish application was also great. 10/10 experience overall and I will totally come back!!!! read more

A little less than okay. My nails are unevenly painted, paint in the cuticles and when asked if she could remove the paint in the cuticle seemed to be annoyed, bubbles in the polish, misshaped nails and just not happy. I came in with better painted polish done at home. I voiced my concern while in store but seem to be brushed off. Not happy with today's service. If you're looking for a gel manicure I suggest trying somewhere else. I should have looked at the reviews before going. read more

I've searched for years for a nail artist who could do exactly what I wanted. I love complex hand painted designs with lots of variety/different designs on each nail. Let me tell you, Ken is THE guy to go to for this. I've never been happier with my nails, ever. He spends so much time getting them the exact perfect shape and his artwork is amazing. I've had 10+ fills and have never needed a new set because they are so well done. Check out his Instagram for photos! @dhd_catalog read more

I have now gotten my nails done here 3 times, the first time I would have rated it 4-5 stars, but I wanted to try out this nail salon a few times before making a review. I'm glad I did. Each time I've come to this business it seems my experience has gotten worse with each visit. The first time I came here I loved the way my nails turned out, they followed my design very well and took their time and did a pretty good job. The second time I was here for a refill on acrylics I was told that the design that I wanted was "not pretty" (it was for a Halloween costume which I has mentioned) - BUT, she said this after working on my nails for 45 minutes and she waited until the very last second to tell me that she didn't want to do this design and rushed me into changing my design at the last second, so I left with the nails I didn't want and didn't come in for. I was pretty disappointed, but at least they still looked nice. Now even though this happened I wanted to try out the salon one more time, so this week I went in for another refill. The woman doing my nails was very nice, but she completely rushed the entire job and my nails looked horrendous at the end. I will insert pictures that do not even do justice to help poorly she did this set. My edges are super rough and rugged, She left plenty of places where the old color from the last set is showing and my nails are very lumpy and uneven. The design I chose just requires a simple gold line going down the middle of the nail, and this woman did the most uneven, crooked and sideways lines that just look like a child did it. I even tried nicely mentioning to her that the lines looked a little crooked, but she blew it off and told me to put my hand under the UV lamp. So basically, you might get very nice nails at this place or a bad set if they are feeling particularly sloppy that day. I wouldn't have left this review but I was just so upset with the way my nails turned out that I'm going to another salon to get them fixed tomorrow because I can't even keep these on anymore, I feel stupid with them on. I hate giving this review because they've always done super well getting me in with scheduling which is super nice, but when I have to go to another place to get my nails redone because of how poorly my set was from here...I don't think I'll be back again. read more

I had read a lot of good reviews from this place so I gave it a chance and was not too happy with my outcome. I went in for a pedicure and full set acrylic, and thought my toes came out great I cannot say the same for my hands. I understand that perfection is unrealistic, but the form of my left hands middle and pinky fingers are terrible. I asked for a simple coffin shape and I was going to get a design too but when i seen how the shape came out I figured I would just save my money. The total of the (gel) pedicure + full set acrylic (w/gel) was $91!! I can find at-home nail techs with less experience and come out with nicer nails for half the price. No need to say that I will not be returning. read more

This was unfortunately a terrible experience. I wasn't even going to leave a review because I genuinely don't like doing this, but my hands are in so much pain just trying to do laundry. All I asked for was for them to take my nails off. I didn't expect that they would not soak them off and just try to get them off with another fake nail, or just rip them off completely. I understand my acrylics were thick, but trying to blame me for my nails being thin was just not okay either. I had this set on for 3+ weeks, there is no way this is my fault. My nails weren't thin until they were ripped off completely by two people who were literally talking shit and laughing about my nails the whole time. I'm so glad you both found it amusing that you literally took two people to get my nails off, still couldn't do it right and made me bleed. Every single one of my nails hurts right now. You should have offered me the "service" for free, but you still asked me to pay even though you ripped my skin off of multiple nails. Thanks so much for the terrible experience AND for trying to tell me it's because my nails are thin, they genuinely weren't until you ripped all of them off. read more

Two are short, two are longer, pinky is in between, not the same shape. It was not worth the 38 for the dip nail and 5 to take off, that's 43 dollars for nails. They are very sweet but I need my nails to look as sweet as they are. Sophie responded to my review and redid my nails, they look great. read more

After the owner of this salon saw the photos of my previous nail service, he reached out and offered for Sophie to redo my nails free of charge. I accepted and went back today - Sophia is the manager here and she's not only kind and patient but her work is exceptional! I'm so glad they reached out to make it right and proved that what I experienced is not their normal level of service. I don't get my nails done often but I may even come back here! read more

I booked last minute because I have been a loyal client for going onto 3 years now. Never been anywhere else. I had no idea it was going to take a pretty lengthy time to get a full body ... The Brazilian itself took 1 hour & a half because the wax kept breaking & she kept burning my skin. She kept moving up & down the temperature on the wax & wasnt confident in her pulls. She then did my legs, & cheeks, & there was no time for my upper torso & arms. Now the owner is sending me threatening me messages because I didn't pay the second half of the uncompleted service. Why would I do that! Our text messages also speak for themselves. This girl is crazy. I am NEVER returning back! The girl who did the wax was SO COOL but she needs to learn some boundaries on what areas to touch when trimming & waxing but it's the owner who makes this a complete nightmare. AVOID this place at ALL COST.

She used to be located in San Marcos, but has since transferred to an oceanside location which is VERY easy to find and right off of highway 76. I arrived 10 min. early and google maps brought me to a nail salon. I wasnt sure if that was the correct place, so I texted the number on my confirmation email to double-check. Jada QUICKLY replied and let me know it was at the lashes+beauty location right next to Albertsons. After arriving, I noticed how clean and well styled the location was. Definitely felt upscale, and welcoming! She quickly brought me back and introduced herself. She is so easy to talk to, it almost felt like i've known her for years! Now to the waxing, it didnt hurt ONE bit! I'm sure thats the skill showing through Jada, and I was so blown away that it took me this long to do it. I immediately told her how happy I was I found her, and will 100% be back. If you are in search of a new go-to wax girl, make sure to visit Jada. You can book directly through her website!

I've been getting gel manicures for over 20 yrs! There is nothing more frustrating than spending serious money on your nails only to have them chip, peel and break in under a week. Then I found KEN! I commented on how great a gals nails looked. She said she had them done 2 weeks prior by "Ken" at Pixie Nails. I've been going to Ken for over a year and I've never been disappointed. My nails take a lot of abuse, but my gel manicure looks fabulous for 3 + weeks! Ken is an artist at his craft! A fill is like a new set every time. I highly recommend Ken.

I was in desperate, I mean "desperate" need of a pedicure but ended up going out with a pedicure and a manicure because of the loving treatment given to me by Leslie and Connie. Wow, Leslie greeted me at the door when I came in calling me by name. I was astounded she would remember me after all that time. She asked me what services I wanted and when I said just a pedicure because my finger nails are all ridged and ugly, she offered to help me in making them look better. I wish I had taken a before and after photograph because everything turned out amazing. Leslie quickly and efficiently made my fingernails looks so pretty. Connie took care of my pedicure which was perfect. Everything! . Connie is so kind and attentive and does a fabulous job in each step of pedicure. She cleaned, shaped my toenails, made my heels so smooth, has a great touch of decorating the painted toe nail with pretty flowers, plus a much needed massage of my feet and hands.

To be honest, B and Sarah were so nice and I hate to give them a bad review, but my nails were done badly.. peeling after 2 days, etc. I stopped here on an off day bc I live close, saw good reviews.. just couldn't stand my nails anymore, but didn't wanna drive out to San Marcos. I ended up having to get them redone the same week by my usual nail tech anyway, so the trip to Red Apple was a total waste of money. Taking a closer look now at the pictures of others' nails that did give good reviews, I should have known-- what they considered "awesome" jobs were actually barely good, in my opinion. Lumpy, not filed correctly, acrylic and paint spillage that were obvious.. Admittedly a perfectionist when it comes to something I will wear every day, but these didnt even last a week. My usual nail lady was disappointed, said something about their product, filing and painting jobs (see pictures) and asked if their place/procedures seemed clean to me. It was weird that they didnt have me wash my hands at any point during the acrylics, and I didn't actually see where they pulled their sterilized(?) tools from either. In the end, she ended up taking off half of my nails that she didnt want me to keep on because of possible fungus from water damage, then refiled and repainted. Other than that, the place was clean, cute, the techs polite! An old regular came in and they all exchanged hugs and "imissedyou!"s. I thought that was sweet, so I'm not surprised they do have return customers. I'd make an appt before coming in bc theres a chance no one will be there since they are a mom/daughter shop and set their own hours. Overall, wouldn't recommend, but thanks to the atmosphere I may show up again and try a pedicure. Just NO more acrylics.
