I saw the reviews and thought this is a great place to go to my Mother's Day manicure. The luminary manicure is supposed to last longer so I thought this was a great option even though it's more expensive than a traditional manicure or gel. First off the luminary manicure has very limited colors, all beige, skin color and very light pink. I was concerned my natural nails would show but Zoe said they would t (they do from my perspective) but that was ok. In reading the info it said the luminary gel was a soak off option so it didn't damage your nails, not so. I am adverse to the drill file and that was used for the cuticle and top of the nail and when I get them redone that is how they "fill" the luminary gel just to let people know so they are not thinking there is no drilling. Both those thing were not the problem though. She asked if I wanted all my nails even up to my broken nail I said no they were even up to my broken nail, she basically said they will grow out by the time I need a fill. Irregardless that's not what I wanted. That's not the real problem either, it was frustrating but not the issue. As I was walking out, I noticed the underside of my nails were filthy. I have never paid $70 for a manicure and had the underside of my nails not be cleaned. I was picking the attached that was after I picked the dirt out from under my nails. there were areas of cut cut. There were several that were not straight or filed properly. You can see the attached pictures but there's areas next to my cuticle. They don't look good for manicure. It should've looked much better than it did. I could have had this caliber of service at my local nail studio in the strip mall. This was suppose to be a high end manicure and that was not the experience I had. read more

My nails have been in a bad shape because of all the gel nails and I haven't been able to find a good alternative till I came across the reviews for Pure Nailz.

Zoe is the absolute best! Seriously and honestly, she's the most talented nail technician I've received services from in my 5+ years of getting my nails done religiously. Her attention to detail and extensive knowledge of nail care is soooo appreciated! I'm a fan of nail art, and Zoe doesn't disappoint in this department either; she's a total artist. Aside from her exquisite nail services, she is such a wonderful person. Spending time chatting with Zoe when receiving my manicure always leaves me feeling happy and hopeful. Zoe is such a bright spot! *Covid note* Zoe/Pure Nailz accounts for every detail of safety in their services. From the standard acrylic shields to sophisticated air purifiers, I feel completely comfortable receiving services during this time.

I love Zoe!!! I just got my gel toes done and they are beautiful. Just a heads up, her set up is inside of Salon Republic and she is inside suite 12. Her space is small, private, quiet, and so relaxing! The pedicure chairs she has are the most high end and hygienic you can get... they were also way more high tech than those average salon chairs you see. I was SUPER impressed. She uses disposable liners in the pedi bath and everything she uses is very clean which immediately put me at ease. She's also so fun to talk to! I really loved coming here, I will be coming here and here only from now on. If you want to trust that you are in good hands, just come here , you won't be disappointed. read more

I got a shellac manicure and a pedicure from Zoe at Pure Nailz and was sooooo happy with how they looked! Zoe is so professional and pays attention to detail. Her studio is clean, organized and very relaxing to be in. I love that it is small and quiet space compared to most salons that are busier and much noisier. My nail time is my relaxing time and a break from my 3 kinds (all under the age of 3)! So I loved how relaxed I was. There are no chemicals since she doesn't do acrylic so I love that I was not breathing in all that either. She is located in Del Mar Plaza on the second level, inside Salon Republic. Zoe made sure I was happy with my nails and would not let me leave until everything was perfect! She is so skilled at what she does. I have already referred my mom and friends to her! You must go check her out!!!!! Pure Nailz is definitely my new go to nail salon!!! read more

If you want a VIP treatment Pure NailZ is the place to be. It has a relaxin atmosphere and everything looks immaculate. I love that they have vegan options an is environmentally conscious. Zoe is very professional and friendly. A super plus for me it's that they use one time tools. One of the reasons I don't often go to nail salons. But I think I found the ONE. Do yourself a favor and come get pampered. I will definitely come back. read more

I had been going to this place for less than a yEvery time I went, I always look around to see if they sensitized the tools and clean the tub. This place does! The place doesn't smell like nail polishes when you sit while you are getting your nail done. I enjoy the laugh with Zoe and the staff. The price is prefect because they mention online before you book. Parking was commended by the store for 2 hours. Clean, friendly, with TLC. I highly recommend! read more

Daniela is great- very sweet, takes her time and doesn't rush. Try her nail art with foil and stamping. Zoe is also very knowledgable and takes a lot of care in selecting quality products for the salon. The salon is super clean, nice atmosphere and they focus on using more natural products that are five- or seven-free. Tip: parking is easier for appointments after 3 pm. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately left extremely disappointed. Based off all of the other rave reviews, I'm guessing that if Zoe had done my pedicure, I would have had a better experience. This was not the case, however, and I left with the worst looking pedicure I've ever received. She had to try three different times to paint my big toe. I was hoping for the third time's the charm, but the third attempt looked awful as well, and at that point, I think she just gave up. The polish looked thick, gloopy, and unprofessional. Not to mention that after more than two full hours, the polish was still not completely dry due to being so glopped on, and sand at the beach ruined the already terrible looking pedicure even further. I'm going to need to try to find somewhere to get another pedicure tomorrow so that my toes look presentable. I'm a working mom of a one year old, and it's not easy for me to find time and money for this kind of thing these days, so again, this was extremely disappointing. On a side note, while she was cleaning under one of my toe nails, she pushed so hard with the tool that I cried out in pain. That has never happened to me in a pedicure before, but I was willing to let that slide. However with the absolutely terrible polish job, I felt compelled to leave this review. I've received regular pedicures throughout my life and have never had anyone struggle so much to paint my big toe nails, so I really don't know what her deal was, but I will never return to this place, and I do not recommend it. read more

This was my first time trying a smaller salon the offered a healthier manicures. My manicurist was Vanessa and she was amazing! From the minute I walked in, I was welcomed by everyone. Everything looked throughly clean and very hygienic. I do appreciate how their instruments/ files were 1 time use or clearly sanitized!! How a nail salon should operate. Vanessa was genuinely sweet and would answer any questions I had about their different services and how it compared to salons that weren't non- toxic. I got a regular Shellac mani a week ago and I expect it'll last at least another week well. Will be returning! read more

Zoey is the best! Her location is so convenient and she does the best Shellac (gel) manicures. They last WAY beyond 2 weeks and don't chip!

This is a perfect place to get your manicure and pedicure! Maleni is gentle yet thorough with removing my overgrown cuticles, and the overall result is fantastic!
