    When I first started going to Smile Nails, my nails were severely damaged from attempting to do my own Gel X manicures. They were incredibly thin, brittle, and splitting in half. I explained to Jack that my goal was to restore my natural nails' health and eventually transition away from using tips. Within just a few months, that's exactly what we accomplished. My nails have never been this strong or healthy, and every time I leave Smile Nails, they look absolutely flawless. Not only do they last a long time, but they also never break. I cannot recommend this salon enough! The quality of work is exceptional, the prices are affordable, and the results speak for themselves. I've been going here for a year now and Smile Nails is truly the best nail salon I've ever been to, I wouldn't go anywhere else! If you're looking for top-tier nail care, this is the place to go.

    Wish this place was near to me! My nails still look sooo good, I am very happy with the service :)

    Jack had never been asked to do a duck before but did a great job!!

    I'd booked pedicures only and on the way my teen asked me if she could get her nails done... I agreed abut warned her that her vision may be hard to create because I dunno how many women usually ask for ducks on their nails. Jack fit her mani in and did an amazing job! Everyone we interacted with was just so kind and did a great job. Highly recommend!

    Love Smile Nails. Mandy is hysterical. She never cuts me when everyone else does at other salons. The whole family is great. I am so happy they are still here after the crazy pandemic. They do all kinds of manicures and pedicures as well as waxing. Lots of guys come in. Next to the gym and Smart & Final off Oceanside Blvd.

    First time getting a full set and they killed it. This place is amazing, every tech is very friendly and sweet and the salon is clean and has a great ambience. I regret not getting my techs name but he was a gentleman and very patient with me, i tensed up a couple of times since I'm not used to getting them done. My nails turned out gorgeous! Edit: Jack was my tech! Y'all should request him because he's awesome!

    I live in Carlsbad and have not found a nail salon that I like. I decided to travel a little further and I am SO happy I did! Jack is amazing, my nails are perfect. Nancy also did a great job on my pedicure. The best part is it was affordable! I easily pay $20- $40 more at any nail salon in Carlsbad. Highly recommend!

    First stop on our wine tour. The guy that helped us was on Point with his dry and sweet wine…read moreknowledge. He went through his little tutorial of each wine, what was in it, what you could smell or taste. My daughter asked him about stronger wine's which he was happy to go into detail about. They had a barrel wine, which my daughter loved, then I had to ask "hey do you have a port". Yes they do, a delicious, exquisite, red port and a white port. I purchased one. Oh and the little shareable menu please try their homemade hummus. It was delicious. I will be coming back here for our anniversary to stay at one of the villa's. And don't forget to stop in the gift shop there were so many cute things in there.

    Explored a couple wineries this past weekend starting with South Coast…read more I'll keep it brief-this place was nice. The atmosphere, ambience and environment was nice and clean. Even on a nice Saturday afternoon during brunch hours, it wasn't too crowded or busy at all. We mostly stayed in the tasting room then went in the member's lounge for bit before taking a walk outside. It's pretty spacious, attracting more of a mature older crowd, if that's your thing. The staff we encountered were all enthusiastic. They even had a taco guy there near the member's lounge which was great- they had a mushroom taco for my veggie people and a cheese quesadilla for the vegetarians. While I had a good time, I'm not sure I'd ever come back here. It wasn't bad, just nothing compelling me to come back-especially since I'm not a drinker, just came to explore with some friends. I'm particularly looking for the winery with the best brunch menu and an interesting crowd of people, which I didn't find here. If you enjoy wine, good scenery and a somewhat lokey spot where you can get out, yet, still have some space to yourself and escape the crowds, this is probably the winery for you.

    I've been wanting to try an establishment like this for a very long time. This was my first visit…read moreto My Zero Waste Store. Let me tell you, I was blown away. It's a small place - and street parking can be tricky. But I was fortunate to get a spot right out front. I stepped inside and saw the various containers of products and was pleased. Not only were there things that I use every day, but the prices were ridiculously affordable. Isela (theeee sweetest person) gave me a brief, but thorough "tour" that was absolutely fascinating. She answered any and all of my questions and provided me with a few donated containers for my purchase. So far, the star of this visit are the scented lotion and hand wash. Can't recall the name. But they are pricier than the other products. I don't care at all. I LOVE the scent. As a matter of fact, I'm going in this weekend for some more of the hand soap. I have it in my bathroom (foaming pump) and my kitchen (regular hand soap pump). I also diluted it to use as a shower gel. YES, doggone it!!! I'm kinda addicted! This is one of those places that you should actually do a personal field trip to. It will change your life. Believe it. Highly, highly recommended! UPDATE: I went back in for more hand soap concentrate and some retinol serum. By the way, soap and lotion brand name is "Further". Alyssa assisted me and she is an absolute DOLL. And I met her husband and best friend, who happened to be in the store. Simply delightful. I think this is going to be another one of my "happy" places.
