Love this nail salon! Took my daughter here yesterday. She got a simple gel nail cat eye manicure & I got a builder gel refill with green cat eye witchy nail art. The nail techs here are all highly skilled & super nice. Prices are reasonable, the place is clean & has a great vibe. I will be coming back! read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this nail salon for gel tip finger nails. They are good for toes, in my experience as I had them done in the last few weeks and thought I'd give them a second chance on nails after years of a bad experience I never posted about. This is my second time in years getting my nails done here, and I only tried again bc I thought maybe they would have improved in years gone by. I had my nails done two days ago with gel and tips done long. The first attempt by one woman was terrible. The owner then said she'd fix it. At first when done I thought it looked fine but as I left I realized they were just as bad. It's very difficult to build a round natural nail shape in the middle with gel. My nails look flat and warped and not even. Maybe they are better with acrylic but I'm extremely dissatisfied with my gel nails. They're basically wasted money. So unfortunate. I don't have it on me to call and ask for my money back. They also already look like I need a fill. I shortened them more so they'd look a little better but I'm embarassed. I dont get my nails done often but needed to for work and now have to get them redone somewhere. SMH. Maybe the photos don't reflect but they look worse in person. read more

I love the staff at this nail salon. They are so sweet and charming. I get the best Mani and Pedi's I have ever had here, and I'm a senior who has been getting my nails done for years. I especially like the attention to my toes, as I have a tendency to get ingrown toenails, and they address that before it becomes a painful issue! They have very comfortable chairs and all the latest equipment. Lastly, but most importantly, the shop is immaculate! I highly recommend this nail salon. read more

I've gone here for five years loyally, and though I've moved further and tried closer salons I will continue to come back. The work is beautiful, the salon is consistently clean, the staff is always welcoming. Throughout these years I've seen so many updates and improvements in the salon for comfortability and aesthetic. It's very clear that they care about their customer's experience and welcome the feedback. Thank you Nicole and the team for always making me feel comfortable and happy to return! read more

Minus 10 star review here! Nice clean place but not good service at all. The pictures tell the story. Definitely won't be back and highly recommend going anywhere else By the way, each nail isn't even painted all the way to the edges and the corners weren't even clipped. Unreal that they even charge for this service! read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Sparkle Nails & Spa in Vista. The quality of the nail work was honestly some of the worst I've had. The nails were mishapen, uneven, and poorly finished, and it was clear there was very little attention to detail. What should have been a relaxing appointment turned into me constantly noticing things that were wrong with the shape and structure of the nails. When I brought it up, the customer service was just as disappointing as the nail quality. Instead of trying to correct the issues or make it right, the response felt dismissive and unprofessional. A good salon should stand behind their work and care about the client experience, and that simply didn't happen here. Between the poor craftsmanship and lack of care toward customers, I would not recommend Sparkle Nails & Spa. There are plenty of nail salons in the area that take pride in their work and treat clients with respect -- unfortunately, this was not one of them. read more

The worst mani-pedi of my life, sadly. The older lady who was doing my pedi was so aggressive and acted like she did NOT want to be there, so not friendly! The gal who was doing my manicure was at least friendly! BUT the worst french ($7 more) gel manicure ever. It looked like a thick line of white puffy paint on the tip. It was so thick that it didn't cure and it smudged within 30 min of leaving the salon and started peeling after a day. $75 later I had to get them redone at another salon. I'd avoid this place unless you know your nail tech won't take their aggression out on your feet! Good luck! read more

Very professional and ensured my needs and desires were met concerning their work with the services I came for. They always serve me at my appointed time and ensure I am happy or they will redo what's needed. They are all pleasant servers and the owner is always professional and ensures the other workers are too. We have been getting our service at this company for over 3 years and we have only great comments in regards to Sparkle Nails. read more

having Dan do my pedicure. The foot massage was the best I've ever had. He hit all the pressure points along the toes and bottoms of my feet. First time experience of having a pedicure massage that wasn't rushed through just to get it over with. It is truly a spa experience like you would expect from a 5-star resort service. They also offer beverages, including upscale coffee and tea, to wine, pop, or water. This is my forever pedicure/ manicure new home. Treat yourself to a 5 star salon experience!! Can't recommend enough! read more

I feel like I hit the jackpot lol I went on a Sunday not expecting much because you never know, and I'm also new to the area but I'm pretty sure I got the best pedicure of my life. Even massaged my little toes I could have lived there forever. ALSOOO they did both my dip nails and pedi at the same which imo is hard to find. They had plenty of staff to accommodate any walk-ins which I find so anxiety reducing because no one feels rushed. I am so happy I found this little gem read more

I was referred here by a coworker and I'm glad she did. This is a great place for a pedicure. I'll be going back for a manicure for sure. The staff is very friendly there. The place is very nice and clean. I got the deluxe pedicure which came with a leg and foot massage, exfoliating my skin and my nails being done. My skin felt softer for sure and my nails actually looked nice. I've never had a pedicure before as I don't like people touching my feet, but this was a wonderful first experience for me that makes me want to make it a routine part of my life. read more

I told the lady I had a fractured foot and to be careful and she was still rough. Then she completely forgot to do the actual pedicure. After she painted my toes she remembered and tried to do it then but I declined. I was just so annoyed, and then the paint is bumpy! Worse experience ever. read more

I'm updating my review because after coming back and giving them more chances they really are the best nail salon local in my area. The older women who do the nails are so very sweet it's hard not to love this place and the staff. Only gave a 4 stars because there is the odd occasion that they will nip your skin during a pedicure. read more

My husband and I always go get a pedicure durning the week and after work although it's towards the end of their day take us with no question and right away... we have never waited! We always see Julie and Anna, they are so kind and do a great job. They take their time with the whole process and I am always happy with the finished result. My husband works on his feet all day and these ladies are so kind and gentle when he has ingrown toe tails. Always ask if he is ok before proceeding. The atmosphere is so relaxing and the whole place is very clean! We will always come back here. I highly recommend them read more

This salon is the right place for you if you are looking for 1. Affordable price 2. Friendly service 3. Fast appointment They will welcome you with smiles, and not complains when you ask them to fix your nails. Their price range is very affordable, you can customize your design, adding french tips or flowers like i did (see photos for reference). A lot of availability. I literally called them two hours before i walked in. Also, plenty massage chairs and nice clean decors. However, if you are a perfectionist, this place is NOT the right place for you. You probably will not be able to stand the little mass around the cuticles or bumpy top coats. if you want a perfect nails, go find a luxury salon. Overall, i like their service and have no complains. They did their job and you get what you pay for. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We just bought a house a couple miles down the road and this was the first nail salon I tried in our new town. I'm a brand new mom and we're still working on the house, so I opted not to get my nails painted, so I can't comment on that, BUT my entire experience there was 10+stars! The salon is very clean, all the massage chairs are in new, working condition and are extremely comfortable and all the ladies are extremely nice. I got the luxury package for my mani and pedi and it didn't disappoint! One of the best and longest scrubs and massages I've ever received at a nail salon and my nails, cuticles and skin look great and I feel rested and relaxed. Mission accomplished for this new mom! This will be my new "go to" spot! read more

Ok I'm back for my fill, and Nicole knocked it out the park!!! My nails are stunning! So this was my first time having a pedicure here and Nicole recommended Nancy. When I say, " the BEST I've ever had!" I'm not playing. She gave me a proper massage and it felt so good I didn't want her to stop.... so I bought additional time! THIS IS MY NEW SPOT!!!! Please remember when visiting here, tips are cash or Venmo only. read more

I absolutely love this nail spa, and more importantly, Anna! She gives a wonderful leg and foot massage and always carefully takes care of the ingrown toenails I often get. She very meticulous with her painting skills too. I've enjoyed all her of pedicures and it keeps me coming back for more! The shop is clean, everyone is friendly and they really make you feel pampered and comfortable. The prices are reasonable. As far as Covid safety, they wear masks, practice social distancing with seated customers and provide a great service as safely as possible. Parking is always available directly in front of the spa. They accept credit/debit/cash for payment, but tips are cash only so be prepared beforehand. read more

I had just moved from Tokyo where gel nails are a big thing and customer service is everything. So by reading their reviews I thought I would like this place. However, the lady asked me what I had on my nails, I said gel. She kept on arguing it was powder at least 3 times. (Hello? I was there when I got it done‍). Anyway, Japanese gel is different so I was like okay. Then she kept saying stuff to the other staff in Vietnamese which is not nice at all, not in front of clients. I'm new here so maybe that's normal? But to me that's just rude. She tried to make some conversation afterwards which was kind of nice. I broke 2 nails within 2 weeks because I didn't know they had done soft gel (maybe I should have known there are different types of gel here). The edges were done badly as shown in the photos and one nail was super crooked. While the place looked nice and clean I don't know how far they go to sterilize their tools so I did not feel safe. I waited until I tried a different place to write this review and I can say for sure I won't be going back. By the way, this cost me $45, whereas now I pay $50 (plus tip)for an amazing job, hard gel, excellent customer service where everything is 100% sterilized or only used once. read more

Nice, clean place.. went in for a basic pedicure. Tools were packaged and foot bowls lined but.. not the best pedicure. Nails clipped but not filed so edges were rough. Mediocre foot/ leg massage. I obviously wanted No nail polish so whole pedicure done in 20 mins. ( including pedicurist leaving me 2 times to answer the phone) Pricey at $28.00 plus tip. It was clean etc. but not sure I"ll return at that price. Cheaper ones in area. read more

This was my first time here, I scheduled my appointment through yelp and it was super easy. I was taken in for my appointment right on time; the employees and customers were all wearing masks. They even spaced us out in the seats prior to starting the pedicure. For my acrylics they were done outside which i didn't mind due to Covid. They have a small easy up and clear cover between you and the nail technician. Michelle did my pedicure with gel and my acrylics. I am extremely pleased with both. She was also very sweet and took her time when shaping my nails. She did not rush at all even though it was kind of humid outside, her priority was making sure I was satisfied with my nails. I will definitely be returning here. Thank you so much, I absolutely love them. read more

I was looking for a new place to get a pedicure; thanks to Yelp this place came up. I was hesitant because there only 4 reviews...all 5 stars, so, naturally I was skeptical l. The reviews seemed genuine and everyone loved the set they received. So, in I went on a rainy Saturday around 5pm. I was the only client - hooray! Nicole (the owner) greeted me immediately upon entering. She was super friendly, so I knew I came to the right place. I'm a super girly girl so I instantly fell in love with the decor. Blinged out chandeliers, grey paint, marble flooring, salmon pink nail chairs, matching salmon pink pedicure bowls and super comfy spa chairs adorn this beauty. They offer an assortment of drinks for your pleasure, coffee, soft drinks, and my favorite...wine:) Nicole served me a glass of Stella Rosa red wine and I was in heaven! Nicole and I had the place all to ourselves. While beautifying my feet, she told me that they had only been opened for two weeks. It definitely shows. I loved everything about my experience at Sparkle. And, I loved my pedicure-Nicole really took her time. I'm so excited that I found a new home for my pedicures! Hip hip hooray Sparkle Nails & Spa. You guys rock! Please patronize this Vista Business. Let's help them flourish and stay around for a long time! read more

This morning I decided to treat myself to a manicure. Having been living in Vista for 6 years, I didn't know much about what nail salons are in my area. So, I decided to Yelp a few locations. Let me tell you, Sparkle Nails & Spa exceeded my expectations and had a pleasant experience by the owner, Nicole. Nicole walked me through their services and guided me in making the right choice for what I was looking for. Her prices are very reasonable and are located off of Civic Dr. They are new to the location, so give them a shot. Their services are outdoors, by the way. Note: I went for the dip powder option and chose colors that are acceptable for my work policy read more

One star, and solely based on walk in interaction. Came in first thing in the morning- woman behind the desk asked what I needed and I replied that I was in need of a full set. She looked at the other woman sitting at her table and then back at me and simply said, "sorry, we don't have time for that." Normally, when a patron comes in, if you cannot accommodate that person at their desired time, you offer alternative options. They didn't do that and just stared at me until I left. ‍ read more
