The lady who did my pedicure did a great job. She was very friendly and the price was very reasonable. It is appointment only which was nice because it was pretty quiet and relaxing. read more

Pro Nails - Gel pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - El Cajon, California

Got a full set. Nails were left too thick at both top and bottom. Am so not happy with them. Taking my business elsewhere

I've been to this place twice and each time I was turned away saying they were too busy. I don't think they have enough people working to accommodate walk ins. I wasn't even offered an appointment or better time to go in. read more

Nope. Nope. Nope. Ten years ago, when I first moved into the area I dropped into this place for a pedicure. It was a weekday and my kids were in school. There is a big sign in the window that says,"WALK INS WELCOME." So I walked in. Well, there were three employees there. Two were engaged with their clients. The other one said they couldn't take me today. I left and thought I would never go back because there are nail places on every block and I was sure I would find some place I would like. So today, I'm still looking for a good place. And someone recommended this place so I thought if give it another try. Same sign is still in the door and guess what? They can't take me. Saturday morning. Three people working. She says make an appointment. That's not the point. Take down your sign if you're not taking walk ins! Lesson learned. Not going back. EVER. read more

AMAZING place. I don't know where these bad reviews are from.. But this place is perfect. The prices are great! $30 for full set of acrylics. $20 for a fill. They have wonderful service, and clean facility, and did my nails SO much better than another high rated salon I went to!! :D Edit: so I've been going to this salon for a few months now. And I've only been disappointed once. That was when I got a different manicurist than my usual. She was super sweet, but did just clear and gel overlay. And the gel was sloppy and the nails were unshaped. So lesson learned. GO TO MINDY :D And make sure to make an appointment!! read more

I love Pro Nails. Mindy Is my girl. My nails are always perfect and she can do whatever you want. Make an appointment because she is booked, you will be so happy you did! read more

I've been coming to Pro Nails for years and they are amazing! El Cajon doesn't offer a lot of choices but I would come here if I lived in La Jolla. Mindy and Tina are excellent! You need an appointment but it's worth planning ahead. Prices are reasonable and the service is outstanding!! read more

customer service less than zero I give, I ask for what I like to do for my nail, only gel colo, but she keep saying do full set nails, no walk in only app. read more

I have never religiously gone to ONE nail salon... Until Helna did my toes. I love getting French on my toes but the sun can make them look slightly yellow or they just chip... I know it sounds crazy but I will never not have acrylic on my toes. I see Helna about every 3-4 wks to get my toes done. I absolutely love them and never have to worry about them with the gel over the acrylic they are perfectly shiny all 3 or 4 Weeks. Calling to make my next appt now :) thanks Helna! read more

They were able to take us right away and were very nice. The spa pedicure was so beyond basic. The message part was I'm not kidding 2 minutes for both legs. She did a great job with the paint and clean up but I was so disappointed. I will not go back. read more

I have been going to Halena for at least years! I have moved several times and no matter how far I've gone I will always go here!! Halena always fits me in when I call her and if I mess up a nail she's always got time to fix it for me (I am very hard on my nails) Tina has done my toes several times and I am never unhappy! This place is clean, professional, and always courteous! They are very busy with appointments but as long as you call they always try to fit you in there schedule. Prices are phenomenal. I have recommended a ton of friends and they all become regulars to Halena =) read more

I tried to get my nails done yesterday. The shop closed at 7pm I was there at 235pm there was no wait and the women that was working told they can't take my business. I was very disappointed and I hope I was not being judged because I'm African American. Well I went to nail spa plus and Tony did a great job read more

Lying here in extreme pain! I had a mani pedi 7 hours ago and am left with chemical burns on my feet and unable to walk. The burning began seconds after she put calus remover on my feet. I complained that my feet were burning and she partially rinsed them in alcohol and continued pumicing them. Its been hot and dry out so i thought maybe i was just a little sensitive. Now I'm thinking I may need to go to the ER because the pain is so intense. read more

Came in as a walk in for a spa pedicure; the girl looked at me and said we are too busy and have too many appointments to help you. Please come back during a weekday and we might be able to fit you in. So I said Thank You and went across the street and guess what they took me right away and they were busy! I will never step foot into this place ever again. Your not that special Pro Nails in fact you are a dime a dozen. read more

I have been a customer for 15 years. Helena is always willing to accommodate a time change for my appointment, when necessary, and she does a great job. I have acrylic French nails every two weeks either redone or filled. Tina does my pedicure and is very good...I love the message chair while you are having the pedicure done. I know they have a lot of regular customers, but they do their best to accommodate walk-ins. read more

I have gotten my nails done here for years. They are reasonably priced and do a fabulous job. Because they do such a great job it is important to schedule an appointment a few days in advanced. Scheduling appointments is easy and can be done via text message which is great for my schedule. read more

I have been going to Halena for the past 6ish months and I will never go to anyone else. Halena just gets it. She is very professional and she is the best in her profession. Besides it being extremely affordable ($30 full / $20 fill) I love there there are only three nail stations. I LOVE that there aren't 10+ stations, the phone ringing off the hook and people running around everywhere. When I see Halena (which is every two weeks) I know that my nails are going to look fabulous and I'll be able to actually relax a little. I believe people are writing bad comments because they did not make an appoint. All three ladies are busy (they are the best so of course they are busy). Make an appointment and you wont be sorry! read more

Mindy, Tina and Halena are great! I would recommend them to anyone, great prices as well!

Helena does my nails and is wonderful! I LOVE that she doesn't take walk-ins. I get pink and whites and I'm always in and out in 45 min to an hour! She gets to know her clients and it's a pleasure to get my nails done! read more

I have been coming here for many years. Halena is fantastic and very professional. This isn't a large shop like many nail places are nowadays; Which I like because I feel like I am the focus during my appointment instead of listening to the ladies talk amongst themselves like they do at the larger places. The staff is great and I always recommend them. If you're looking for quality, I recommend Pro Nails. If you're looking for just a quick walk in cheesy place, go someplace else. read more

This I Was the worst experience. my granddaughter and I went in for a mani and pedi. we asked if they could do us both. the response was yes pick your color and have a seat at the chair . I verified we both wanted manicures and pedicures. she started the pedi on me was the fastest I had ever had, she starts my granddaughter, sloppy nail painting, on my granddaughter After the pedicure she says. You have to come back in 2 our to get manicure. I looked at her and said what? I have to take care of lady over their then can do your manicure. she new that if she said she could not do both we would have left and she would not have gotten nothing. So she deceived us and wante@cox.netd us to pay 35 for each or pay 40 each and come back in 2 hour. I told her I am paying 20,00 dollars half of the mani pedi price gave her forty dollars and left what a scam she gave. Will never go in there again. What other tricks would they pull? read more

I was looking for a new nail place close to home. My person that did my nails for 10 years moved out of town. So I make my appointment and wasn't told that they accept cash only. I get to my appt and there are no signs that say cash only but I also notice no charge card signs. I ask if they take cash only and get looked at like I am an idiot. So I ask where an ATM is and it's across the street so I drive over and get cash. When I get back the lady that is going to do my pedicure is waiting for me. She did an ok pedicure without saying 2 words to me. Then when I asked about my manicure that i scheduled they seemed put out and too busy. I wanted acrylics but was talked out of them and I asked for rhinestones on my nails and she asked what I wanted? I said I don't know what do u normally do? She didn't know. So I have 2 rhinestones next to each other. Looks bad. The shop also had a bad vibe. It just seems thrown together and feels weird. I won't be back. I found another place across the street and they were amazing. I found my new favorite. ....... sooooooo exactly 2 weeks later and all rhinestones have been long gone as with the gel nails. I have 2 on one hand and 3 1/2 left on the other hand. I don't do dishes and i am not rough on my hands. What a waste of money. read more

I called at about 4pm on a Friday, needed my nails done in a hurry. I had read that they take appointment only, as any respectable business does, so I called hoping to book one maybe for Saturday. I also asked if there were any openings at all for the day, expecting a "no," like everywhere else. Whoever answered the phone was great and asked the other girls if anyone could take me. Halena was able to squeeze me in at 6pm. I showed up early (excited) and as I came in the door, she said hi. I sat on the super comfy couch in the waiting area while she finished her previous client. She is a PRO just like the name suggests. She built my acrylics on top of my natural nail and listened to exactly what I wanted. She did make a few suggestions, which I appreciated since she knows much more than I do! Her sweet, professional manner and gentleness was a nice change of pace. She was so quick! Even though we chatted the whole time! I was done in maybe 45 minutes, I think it was less. It was $35 and I left feeling confident that I found somene who would help preserve my natural nail as well as my budget in the future. read more

Absolutely love my nail technician!! The salon itself is less than okay. The entire salon is dirty from the front windows to the back door, but the bathroom is disgusting. If the owner doesn't care to clean then maybe she should hire someone to clean!! Maybe some simple chairs for waiting instead of old furniture would spruce the place up?!! Have pride in your business and show your clients you care!!! read more

I have been going to Pro Nails for several years now and I see Mindy. She is a perfectionist so I know that she will do great job. I ALWAYS make an appoitment because she is always booked solid. Most likely because she is so good and her focus is on her clients that have appointments. Not all places have walk in and I can tell from going to Pro Nails they are very busy and most of their clients make appointments. The prices are more than reasonable! read more

Heard lots of good things about this place. Well it was time for a fill for me badly and saw they were appointment only which made me happy soo called knew i wouldn't get an appointment that same day but gave it shot. Halena the owner answer sweetest person ever she informed she had an opening and would be happy to take me on. I was excited showed up 10 mins early as soon as i got there she greeted me by name told me she will be ready for me soon she was finishing up her client before me. I've had bad experiences at placea before where I'd schedule an appointment and i wouldn't get seen at time i set because they would take walk ins and not focus on me. I loved that her place id appointment only and that she put all her attention on doing what i wanted. I asked for my nails to be shorter because of the job i do in nursing. She knew right off the bat how short i needed and wanted them. Soon as she was done i was so happy gave her lots of props! She talked to me my whole appointment too she definitely has great customer service! She only charged me 25 for my fill which honestly isn't bad only down part is it's cash only which i should of asked before coming cause now in days don't think anyone carries cash at least i dont. Luckily my bank was across street so wasn't a big deal to go but now i know to bring cash. Other than that had a wonderful experience and I'm happy i found my new nail place to go. HALENA IS NOW MY GO TO GIRL!! i will be recommending this place to lots of people. read more
