Amazing attitude! I bring my 92 year old father-in-law and he loves it. He gets a manicure and pedicure to help his nails but enjoys the hot wax on his feet. Everyone does great but I prefer Tammy for acrylic nails and Hannah for my pedicure. They all give quality service. They are usually busy, but I have never have an issue making an appointment or just walking in. They always seem happy to see us or just me when I had acrylic nails. They have a lot of options but have never pressured any updates. I have taken my granddaughters several times and have recommended them to my family and friends. read more

$40 for plain gel toes, rude service, and not even a good job on the toes. 1st and last time coming to this place.

My nails and I have been going here for years. Bryant, Tami and their gals are very "professional", with Lani being my personal favorite. The space is very relaxing and tastefully decorated. The massage chairs are comfortable and cleanliness is an obvious priority. There are several televisions and I also enjoy having a beverage served as well from time to time. read more

Went in earlier this week. I don't go to nail salons often but when I do, I get gel color on my hands and regular color on my toes with the same color. This time it all looked good in the salon. I paid, tipped well, and headed to my car. Once i stepped out in to the day light, you could tell that the color on my nails were violet instead of dark red like I had requested. My toes were dark red but my nails were violet. (Keep in mind, the lighting in the salon is a bit yellowish so it looked different when I was in there) I went back in to tell them but the lady, she might be the boss, kept trying to gaslight me into making me believe they were the same color. Thankfully, the man up at the front, charging, had them correct it. And although it's not an exact match, as you can see in the picture, it is still much better than it was before. (I wish I took a pic before they fixed them) If it wasn't for the man who corrected it, and the good pedi from my nail lady, I'd be giving this place a 1 start for the mismatched colors and gaslighting. read more

What's my preferred shape and length? I get the medium length and almond shape. How long do my appointments take? If I am getting a Gel-X removal plus a new set it usually takes an hour and a half. How long do my nails stay on? The longest I have gone between appointments is 4 weeks read more

ProfessioNAIL - Nails my Tammy - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

I have been coming here on and off for many years. And many times I have swore that I will never go back due to the service I had received. This time, I am NEVER going back. Please believe the reviews about HORRIBLE customer service. I had my nails done 6 days ago. I went in asking for GelX and was told by Lilly they couldn't do that, even though the time before Kim was able to do it. She told me that dip gel was better. Even though I said I didn't like dip gel, I agreed. At day four they started chipping. At day six I went in because I had spent 70$ with tip, to have destroyed nails. I was met with nasty customer service by TAMI. No apologies, she just said with attitude that GelX is better, and I had told her yes that's what I came in for originally. She was incredibly rude. She fixed my nails BARELY. No filing, one coat of dip powder. She huffed and sighed and barely acknowledged my existence as she answered text messages, and acted as annoyed as humanly possible that I could dare come in and ask for my nails to be fixed. I'm sorry if I am paying 70$, my nails better last a hell if a lot longer than 6 days. They just lost a customer and I will tell everyone I know to avoid that place. read more

I went to this establishment over the weekend to get my toes done and a nail fixed. Don't get me wrong, they did a great job on my toes and fixing my nail, where they can improve is when you checkout. What I mean by that, is they only accept cash, Venmo, or Zelle. I noticed that when a few customers who left before I did paid cash, they were offered a 3 to 4 dollar discount, yet when I went to go pay with my cash, I was not offered a discount like everyone else. I don't know if they pick and choose who they offer the discount too or what, but I find that extremely wrong to only offer it to a few and not to everyone. If you're gonna offer a discount for paying cash, you need to offer to everyone and not to a select few. I will not be going back. read more

I called earlier that day for a Mani-Pedi same day service. I was warmly greeted and asked to go to the restroom after I choose my nail color. Everyone was busy but smiling and friendly.

ProfessioNAIL - Pretty pink - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

It's overpriced... they don't accept credit cards, and they have an extra charge for using zelle and venmo and their conveniently placed ATM. So go with cash, my friends. Also, don't expect any other services like a hand massage because that's not happening... I'm sure unless you fork out more money. Just saying services usually included at most nail salons are not included here. Had a dip manicure, which is already chipping after 1 day... never have I had this happen what the heck!!! Not sure if the product is old? I know the polish used on my toes was old as I saw the manicurist adding acetone to thin it out. The ladies doing my nails were friendly. And I know it's not their fault if the product was no good. Anyway that's my 2 cents read more

My services: reg. gel pedi $42.00 + 3.00 to remove the gel polish on my toes total $45.00 DEBIT or CREDIT is *not* accepted so be sure to bring cash and they do have an ATM machine $2.00 surcharge. These women are kind and hard working. The man sitting up front is genuine and so professional. I am glad I came early because they became busy really fast. The salon is clean, inviting, and relaxing music is playing while you are receiving services. I like a quiet session during my spa time, I truly appreciate the fact that my pedicurist was not asking me a ton of questions about my personal life, as I have experienced at other salons. I find that to be invasive and unprofessional, so I am glad that was not the experience here. I am happy with my pedi but I do wish she had let the callus remover gel sit for a minute before scrubbing and rinsing. It was almost instant, which does not allow the skin to soften. I also wish the owner would provide a better gel UV light machine for the shop. The one she used looked pretty old. My lady was swift, I was in there for about 40-45 minutes. This was my first visit and it was pleasant. Thank you very much for the professional and relaxing service. read more

I've been here many times. Most of the staff are nice and friendly. The prices are reasonable. I've had great pedicures and some not so great pedicures.

Been a few times and not sure why I keep coming back other than it's around the corner form my house. Today was the last time that's for sure. The people who work here are generally rude especially the guy at the door. Greets you as if you're trespassing or something. The work is overpriced and mediocre at best. Every time I leave here I have buyers remorse. Customer service is one the the easiest and cheapest things a business can do to stand out from the others. The morale in this place stinks from the head down. These places are a dime a dozen. They don't seem to realize this. Sayonara! read more

I've been coming to ProfessioNail for the past year or so on and off ever since my old nail tech retired. It's always been easy to book and appointment or walk-in. I've always have had a consistent experience, especially with Tammy (I believe that's her name)! Very efficient and does a great job, at great prices as well. I've also always felt comfortable here, as a man sometimes people give me a strange look for getting my nails painted. I've never felt that here, everyone is very kind and welcoming! As an FYI before booking an appointment, they take cash or Venmo. No debit/credit card payments. read more

I've been going here off and on for probably 15+ years. It's always been fine. I get my nails done, they look good but then they start to lift, I pull them off, they hurt, I let them grow out. After a few months (sometimes years) , Ill go get them done again. This time, Lilly has been doing my nails and they are great. I clean and do lots dishes at home. I also work as a waitress. So, I am really hard on my nails. They haven't lifted and I haven't pulled them off. I am really amazed. The pictures I'm posting are after 4 weeks and 3 days. read more

I walked into the salon in hopes of getting a pedicure. I realized quickly that there would be a wait and I had an appointment to get to so I decided to come back. I ended up going back a few hours later and Kevin did my pedicure. I don't normally write reviews on pedicures because they are pretty much all the same. But not this one! Kevin was very attentive, paid close attention to detail, took his time, and is a great masseuse! Best pedicure I've ever had! Thank you Kevin! Also Tammy #1 who moved from Vista to San Marcos is amazing! She does a perfect set of pink and white every time I see her! I've been seeing her for over 15 years and she is the best at what she does :-) go see her you won't regret it! read more

I could not run out of this place quick enough. Do not waste your money coming here they do the worst and sloppiest job I've ever had getting my nails done. To start they don't even bother properly taking off your previous color so I had to ask twice stating I could still see see the purple I had before before. The shapes were all different per nail and I came to realize she was not going to properly fix it after asking several times. The color doesn't come close to resembling the examples they have but she attempted to convince me otherwise. Once again do not waste your time or money coming here. read more

I'm a regular at this nail salon and let me tell you... there are several reasons why. I tried several nail places years ago - two on the other side of Escondido, one place near Target, one near Barnes and Noble. None of them were even close to this place. At these other places, my nails never seemed to be done right, my acrylics would break and I was burned and cut several times. Now Tina does my nails. She's my go to girl. She's kind and quiet, very gentle, and does the most amazing, consistent job every single time. My mom started to go to her too. She gives me gorgeous nails exactly how I want them. She works around me getting a pedicure at the same time if I'm in a time crunch, and makes sure I'm comfortable with a pillow in my lap and a magazine to read. I honestly couldn't appreciate her more. Their salon is clean, well kept, spacious and comfortable. The massage chairs and legit what I look forward to the most other than having beautiful nails. They also ALWAYS have the food channels on, which I love so much :) a huge color selection for gel manicures and matching non-gel colors for your pedicure. read more

I got my nails done on 12/21 after work. They took my pretty quickly ... they did my toes and nails together. I asked for the cheapest pedi but the lady misheard me and started doing the more expensive one. They didn't charge me when I had to tell them I wanted a regular pedi. My gel manicure started to chip before even 1 week of having them done. I was on vacation so when I returned I called them. They said I could come back in but now it's 12 days later. They would give me $10 off but not fix the chipped nails. I have 4 nails left from the gel manicure and they all chipped about Sunday, 12/31. I've never had a gel manicure chip before 2 weeks. They told me they don't guarantee 2 weeks. I'm just a little disappointed. Very nice and friendly in trying to help me out, but disappointed that a gel manicure chipped just as quickly as a regular manicure. I will not be going back nor do I recommend. If I'm going to pay $35, that better last me 2-4 weeks. read more

DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm very disappointed at this place. I set up an appointment based on a recommendation and the last thing I was expecting was to get fungus in my nails due to humidity because they didn't sealed my acrylic correctly and it damaged my natural nail. It's been 3 weeks since that appointment and I'm still not able to get a new set because my nails haven't healed since then. Never coming back. read more

I have been going to Professionail since Tammy was at the Vista location. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have been going to her ever since. She then moved over to San Marcos and I followed. My nails are always perfect and I get compliments all the time. I am super hard on my nails too. Mia does my pedicures and she is just as wonderful, polite and always does a great job. Did I mention that I drive from Oceanside? Yes, it is worth the drive, price and peace of mind having someone that knows what they are doing! read more

So i just went in . I go in normally maybe twice a month and have never had an issue . For the first time my nails were actually really bad. When I asked if someone else could finish them, it was ignored and it was humiliating at the fact that they would even let me walk out with these. The shape for every nail is different . There is visible ridges in the nail that you can see. And the color was not what I had asked for. I understand that mistakes can be done but this could have been fixed . Instead I got a $5 discount of my nails and they look horrible . Safe to say I won't be coming in again anymore. I'm currently on my way to find somewhere else to fix them. read more

Five STARS for sure. My nails always look on point when I get them done. Tammy is amazing her attention to detail is what I absolutely love. My nails stay on and look great for 3 weeks and sometimes longer. My daughter now also gets her nails done . We always get compliments on our nails. Most of my close friends see Tammy and my daughter has also referred her friends. Teenagers are something else , but when it's nail salon day she is happy as can be. They do traditional " Mom" nails like my daughter calls them and the very "cool" modern looks that my daughter likes. Wine or beer , or water or soda while you get your nails done is definitely a plus, it's happy hour and getting pampered hour ! They are very professional, kind, friendly and efficient. I moved and now drive but will not give up my amazing nail artist ! Tammy rocks ! read more
