Lilly did such an incredible job on my acrylic nails! Her attention to detail is admirable, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time she takes cleaning up my cuticles. She is patient and always willing to do whatever is needed to make sure you're walking out the door with a smile. Highly recommend as her nails survive the gym! - @neeks93 read more

I recently came for a pedicure and I thought they did a great job. I always upgrade the pedicures I get because it's really the only me time I get. I got gel on my toes and even French tip. It's been about 3 weeks and my toes still look great! I love what they have done with the place and looks very modern and clean. read more

Q Nails Salon - gel manicure - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm new to the Grantville area so I'm on the hunt for a local salon to get my nails done when I occasionally do (a few times a year for special occasions). Tried to walk into another nearby salon first but it was too busy and they couldn't accommodate a walk-in on a weekday afternoon at lunch, so I ended up here due to some promising reviews. There are only a few parking spots in the lot shared by many businesses in the building, but I managed to get one. The shop only had about 3 customers and a few nail techs so I only waited about 10 min. I showed a picture of a set of acrylics I found online, and the nail tech determined that the style was "unicorn chrome". I have long natural nails so I just asked for an acrylic overlay. She took her time making sure my nails were filed and shaped exactly as requested, and did a great job getting the color to look like the picture, carefully sponging three different polish colors to achieve the look. I was happy with how they came out, and they have lasted 7 weeks without lifting or chipping (of course, they are very grown-out now). Price was reasonable, I think I paid $65. read more

I do love the pedicures I get here however, making an appointment doesn't mean anything to them. I called Friday to get in and they couldn't do it & asked me to come Saturday. We agreed to 11am, I showed up & they were busy and asked if I could come back. Nope-not professional. read more

I was able to walk right in and get my nails done no wait, the pricing was also really good. Will be returning.

This place is cheap. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I came in for a fill and had a design in mind. They were able to accomplish this for me. Keep in mind, parking is pretty difficult here, so you may need to park across the street or down the road but for this price, it is definitely worth it. read more

Ive been coming here for a while and they always do the best job. Always give me exactly what I want.

I went to Q Salon recommended by a friend. I called in the morning and made an appointment later in the day for a full set and a pedicure. Let me start with my manicure came out great...... BUT I got the WORST pedicure I've ever had. All of my nails were different shapes, not straight across, and he made me BLEED twice. He went to paint them and he just painted all over my toe (nail and the skin surrounding) and then used a brush with acetone to clean around. Let me tell ya that STUNG from the open wounds. It was also so globby and thick when he painted so he could not clean it up neatly and the paint looked lumpy. I sat with the polish on for a little bit while they finished up my manicure and then had them remove the polish so I could repaint them at home. I genuinely can't believe they thought that was acceptable. And they still charged me $80. read more

This place is DIRTY, Dated and Disgusting How does state board not random checks? A local IG influencer/ MUA mentioned she gets her nails done here by Lily.... Lily is not the most warm or welcoming person. She makes one feel as if we are doing her a favor by being there. I've tried this place 3 too many times in hope the customer service would change. Sadly it did not and neither did the cleanliness. Quality of work is nice however Lily likes to watch movies/shows on her phone while working w a drill on fingernails a big NO! read more

Wayyyyyyy overpriced. Place is old and run down. Massage chair was making a loud nose to the point that i felt uncomfortable and turned it off even though i was really looking forward to using the massage chair. Employees are all very kind. Person who did my nails was very slow, manicure looks sloppy and wasn't cleaned up well. Honestly save your money and go somewhere nicer for the same exact price read more

Q Nails Salon - The dark spot is blood... Hate getting cut :/ and also note the messy edges - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

This was my second time visiting this nail salon and don't get me wrong, my gel nails looks great. I went in expecting ONLY the color change I asked for. The lady proceeds to ask if I want my cuticles cut and fails to mention it costs extra?! As well as this the last time I came in (less than a month ago) and got the color on my nails removed it was only $5 and this time the price somehow is now $12 to remove. In total my first visit with gel polish removal and color change was $25 +tip.... somehow this trip was $40+ tip for the same exact thing with the cuticle trim that i wasn't made aware was extra. I guess just be aware that the price of your nails really just depends on who does them, not what their menu says. read more

Found this place because of the awesome reviews on Yelp. It's a small salon and wasn't crowded on a Saturday (possibly due to COVID). I made an appointment and only had to wait about 10 minutes. This salon does not provide a spa-like experience--there was a kid watching TV loudly on his phone while his mom got her nails done, water was leaking into a bucket from the ceiling, and they had old, worn furniture. They sanitized all of the stations in between customers, but one customer took her mask off, as did one of the employees for about 20 minutes. Just something to consider if you are considered high-risk for COVID/live with someone who is. Ben did an awesome job on my gel manicure and pedicure, and was very kind. He was thorough, detail oriented, and took his time to make sure my nails looked good. A gel manicure and pedicure took 2 hours and 15 minutes, so make sure you carve out some time if you come here. This place appeared to have a ton of repeat customers, and many of the customers knew their nail technicians on a personal level. They seemed to have great customer service, everyone in the salon (employees and customers) was kind, and the prices were really good. Definitely not a relaxing, spa-like environment, but I'd come back for a really good mani/pedi! I'd be super happy to have Ben again too! read more

Nikki did a great job. Gentle but through. Rarely do you find someone who does a great pedicure and great massage, but Nikki does. The place isn't fancy, but it's clean and they do a good job. They are doing a good job with covid, chairs are 6 feet apart for pedicures. They have screens between you and nail tech for nails. I'll definitely be returning. Only thing I wish their nail polish was organized by color. It's kinda hard to find the perfect color cause they are all mixed up. read more

I have gone here twice and today would have been my 3rd time getting my nails done but the lack of customer service turned me off today. I have tried calling here to schedule an appointment but they never answer the phone, this morning I walked in and one of the workers walked in ahead of me and closed the door behind her instead of holding it open for me or at least acknowledging I was behind her instead of purposefully closing the door behind her (mind you she knew I was there) then I walk inside and no one acknowledged me for awhile and when they finally do they are rude and immediately say no we busy when all I was asking for was a short Christmas set. Won't be returning here. read more

Lily does a very good job on my nails but her attitude STINKS! I've gone to her 3 times and her customer service or lack there of has sequentially gone down hill with each visit. She acts as if she is annoyed with doing my nails...like I'm bothering her to do my nails?! I don't know maybe it's me...but I found one great nail tech in SD and I'm pretty sure I can find another that would love a regular customer. So if you're ok with subpar customer service in exchange for good looking nails then this is the place for you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for my nail tech to be my best friend but I also don't expect nor will I accept my nail tech grabbing my finger with aggravation because I asked her to fix something ‍ read more

Q Nails Salon - Fill with design on every finger $44. - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been searching for a nail salon close to where I live. I've tried most salons in the area and have been super disappointed. A friend of mine told me about Q Salon so I figured I'd try it out and I was not disappointed. I appreciate that I can speak with my technician and we can fully understand one another. I specifically like gel French manicures and pedicures. It's hard to find someone who can do it the way I prefer it. I decided to do ombré gel for my manicure as I didn't even know gel can be done as ombré. Maci was my technician and she was super fast and thorough. She even said it's better if I'm picky because she wants to do it how I like it and make sure I'm happy. I had the regular pedicure and they used hot stones during my massage. It was very relaxing...it didn't last very long but it was nice. Overall, this place is definitely the best I've come across. The service is amazing, they are friendly, efficient, and I love my nails. read more

This place is super unprofessional! I just called this place to schedule an appt with Lily and I told her I would call back to confirm the time, and when I called back within 2-3 mins, I said I would take the appointment and I heard the individual that answered say "oh my god" and sighed. I hung up. I don't need to go to that trash place. Save yourself the visit. If you hate your job then quit. read more

I put 5 stars at the beginning because they made my nails look pretty, and the customer service is good. But, i had to change it to 2 stars after i realized that since I started doing my nails there they've been really weak and started breaking. the way they clean your nails and take off your gel color is bad for the nails and will make them weak. I'll never come back and i don't recommend it. In this picture two nails has been already broken and they did nail extensions for them and now my nails are breaking inside of the extension. + the place smells like chemicals and the smell is strong read more

I wanted to like this place sooooo bad after getting a really bad taste in my mouth from other surrounding salons. I felt this place was no muss no fuss, good price, good work. Well I noticed a pattern ever single time I went in for a fill a nail would break before my next fill. I'm not a boxer, I don't use my hands to the point of monthly nail breaking and I've been getting fills for years and never had so many broken nails. Yes they are nice about fixing at no charge but it's a huge inconvenience to have to revisit a nail salon especially one that is this busy. Now I'm a few days before Christmas and in one week have broken 3 nails!!! I've already been back for two broken nails now another?? Sorry I won't be returning I'm a busy mother and business woman.... I need my nails to stay in tact . . . . Update.... 3rd picture is from an hour after I posted the review... while tucking my son into bed the 4th nail broke in a week read more

This is not to place to go for dip nails. They put too many coats and it's much too thick and made the ends of my nail wider. The tech also cut into my skin My first and last time :( read more

Quality of shop has gone down. Walk ins not welcome despite it being advertised. This time I made an appointment and was asked to come back in an hour (after waiting 10 mins).

Q Nails Salon - Terrible nails... - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I wish I could give zero stars. DO NOT GO HERE! I received hands down the worst and most expensive mani pedi I've ever had in my life. For starters my nail tech did not even file my toe nails and I got the deluxe mani pedi. I ended up asking her to do it bc my toes looked so bad. The dip was even worse. I could've done a better job myself. I called the next day and was hung up on when I asked to get it fixed (mind you I was very nice on the phone) I finally went the next day to get it fixed and was asked "what I did to it" the answer "absolutely nothing I left the salon this way". After getting them fixed I felt OK about my experience, until two days later and now my dip is starting to come off and has dents all over. I'm so upset. Complete waste of money. read more

I came back to Q Nails after having had a great experience the first time with my eyebrows and lip waxing. Sadly, I was so disappointed this 2nd time when I got the complete opposite treatment. The technician was pretty rough and sloppy with the entire process. She pushed hard on my lip and my eyes, ripping the wax off without the slightest gentle effort. She didn't even comb or trim my brows, and since I have very long brow hairs they were left staggered, pointing in every which way. When she applied the soothing gel at the end, she put so much on my lip so fast that it literally got in my mouth! I was really looking forward to coming back because the pricing is good, but my lips and my brows swelled up so badly compared to last time. I left with terrible welts on my upper lip (see photo) and I didn't even photograph the brows because those were actually worse. I'm actually pretty bummed, but I might have to consider another option for waxing. read more

I just moved to San Diego and I have been dreading the task of finding my go-to nail salon. (You guys know the struggle) I don't spend money for "superficial purposes," but my bi-weekly mani and pedi is my one exception so I tend to be a little picky when it comes to my services. Q Nails Salon was absolutely amazing! Both ladies who took care of my were very kind and gentle. They took their time and my nails and toes came out great. My nails were filled perfectly, the cuticles trimmed and the polish was neat and even. Same with my toes! The best part is that it didn't break the bank either! For a gel polish manicure and a spa pedicure the total came to $50. I'll take it. I never book in advanced but I'm confident this will be my salon from now on, so I have an appointment set for two weeks. Thanks so much, Q Nails! read more

Q Nails Salon - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I came to this salon because of the good reviews I read. I read bad reviews, but decided to give this place a chance since I really wanted a set of nails. Mia did my nails. If you are looking for someone chatty she isn't it. That's fine with me since I just care about her doing a good job. In the beginning the first few nails she was trying to glue on would not glue. Part of me wanted to tell her that if she brushes the nail powder residue off the nails, the tips will finally glue onto the nails. The job was sloppy done and my nails began to undo within 9 days. I called the salon and Lilly said to come over so she can take a look at my nails. When I get there she says that I was due for a filling. She put some glue on/under my nails to keep them from lifting until it was time to go back for a fill. Sadly the glue didn't work and I ended up going to a different place a few days later. When the technician at the other place took the paint off the nails it was obvious that there was barely anything keeping the nail tips glued on. Needles to say I ended up paying for almost a brand new set within less than 3 weeks. Take your customers seriously and don't just come with excuses as to why the nails came off before time. I'm not new to fake nails and Mia obviously did a poor job. Don't blame the issue on that it's a brand new set of nails and that's expected. It's not! On the flip side, my husband had one of the best pedicures ever he said. It was done by I think the oldest lady in the salon. read more

Q Nails Salon - Redone ombre French! Beautiful! - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

** THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON ONE PERSON. NOT A REFLECTION OF THE PLACE AS A WHOLE. First, let me start off by saying I LOVE Q Nails and the ladies here are always so nice and welcoming. Kim and Maci are your to go girls for gel. I am a loyal customer to them both. Today I came in without an appointment just to get my gel polish off. Was seen within 5 min and given a new gal I never had seen before I believe her name was Vicki. I would highly NOT recommend her for gel anything. She not only doesn't know how to take gel polish off, but feels the need to keep filing the hell out of my nails. I left with the gel base still on my nails,scratches on all my nails, and all my nails are shaped unevenly. If you want to save your nails (post gel polish) do not have Vicki do it. I left pretty upset and didn't even want to pay for the way my nails came out. read more
