It was quick and easy to book an appointment online. I rolled in about 5 minutes early to my appointment and they were able to accommodate me right away. I got a basic manicure and a soft heels pedicure. The total cost was $62 before tip. The ladies there were very nice and friendly. They even offered a complimentary drink. The choices were alcohol (21+), water, or a soda. It didn't smell like any strong chemicals inside since they had the door open. Overall, it was a very relaxing experience and I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

I was in the wrong coming in an hour before closing for an acrylic soak off and a Gel - X full set. But they welcomed me and SLAYED my set !!! Everyone was so nice and hyped me up about my nail pick and my life. lol ! I played it safe because I've never been here and didn't get a design just French tip with a black line ( I was scared for the line because some salons cannot make a straight line to save their life ) but Tracy did amazing !!!! Omg I will be coming back for the pink cheetah print we talked about. I'm so happy I found my new favorite salon in Poway open til 7 and can slay any design. read more

Holly and the entire team at StudioMani are the best! Ever since my first visit, I've been coming back as a regular client and have had a great experience each time. They are so professional, friendly and kind! I also like that they offer fill services on Gel X so that it's not a new set every time depending on the integrity of your nails. read more

I came here on a weekday evening after work for a very much needed gel pedicure. I walked in but I recommend putting in an appointment. I haven't had such an amazing pedicure in a very long time. Jennifer did a great job with painting, cleaning up the excess skin without any pain, and callus removal. It seems they just changed management so they're doing a 20% off offer for new clients. Even without the 20% the prices are extremely reasonable. The shop looked renovated, very clean, and they even offer complimentary drinks. They take card with a $1 fee. The shop is in the same plaza as smart and final. read more

I walked in for a mani and pedi as the $19.99 pedi deal drew me on. I went in around 10AM on a weekend and they were too busy to take walks-in, so I was asked to come back in a hour. It was no problem for me since I live close but recommend to call/make an appointment before hand. I was about to get my mani done but there seemed to be some issue with a customer next to me that she had to get her nails redone which delayed my mani time even though I came back with an appointment. I waited 30+ minutes to get my nail started. I got gel nails with chrome and I initially loved how it turned out - love the color and not too shiny as I asked, however, it only lasted a week until it started lifting. (Got nails done on Sunday and picture is from Monday). I would expect gel nails to last at least 2 weeks so this was a little sad. No issues with my pedi though. They even massage your legs! read more

My mani and pedi for our daughter's wedding still looks very nice 11 days later (photo provided). My only feedback for improvement is the communication between the staff. We arrived at 9:55am for our 10:00/10:15am mani/pedis. The two ladies working were surprised to see us, and Holly, who had made the appointments, was not there. The staff finished with their customer and then started on our nails. The work was good but my fingernail color did not match my toenails as I requested for some reason that was not explained. My guest felt like her leg massage was lacking. They finished our nails and we were getting ready to go when they said we need to wait for Holly to arrive to ring us up. She arrived about 20 minutes later at around 12noon. She started to charge me the full price, but I reminded her about the price she had quoted to me via Yelp. She said the discount was only for one person so I paid full price for my guest which was not my understanding. Again, they did a fine job on our nails but the communication and Holly's customer service was not great. read more

My second time going. The first I was drawn in by their new client pedicure special at 19.99 It felt so great and they got us in just before closing. When I went today(2 weeks later) i went to get a full set with a dark green color and almond shape in mind. She did gel and I absolutely love how they came out! The only thing they didn't do that I kinda wish they did was clean up my cuticles and skin around the nails read more

Came in for a mani pedi. I didn't have an appointment. They said it would be about a 15 minute wait. So they take walk ins. It is very clean. I think they may be new. I saw the sign on the road advertising a pedicure special. It's a Tuesday afternoon. 2:00. Only two manicurists working at this time. I guess this has been around awhile but new owner a year or so ago and a remodel has been done. Great job on both the manicure and pedicure. read more

Have been looking for my new go-to spot for manis and pedis and I finally found it! I was able to call ahead to book a pedicure and I absolutely loved my experience. Salon is clean and smelled lovely! My nail technician was Holly, who is also the salon manager, and she was absolutely wonderful! I got the basic pedicure, which is $30, and Holly was speedy and precise. The basic pedicure has all the things I look for in a pedicure. I don't always want all the add-ons like hot stones or callus removal, so the basic pedi was everything I needed. Not to mention they have 20% off for new customers. Highly recommend trying studiomani if you're looking for a new nail salon! read more

Came across this nail salon after trying out many others in the area. Initial thoughts were that the ladies were very nice, it was clean, and they are quick without minimizing the quality. Tracy has done my nails each time and she always does an amazing job! She checks in with me throughout the manicure to make sure I'm content. She is very thorough and doesn't miss small details. You can also book your appt online which is nice, they'll send you text reminders when it's close to your appt. Their prices are transparently displayed so you know what you're paying for. They also have a check in method where every 5 times you have a service done over $35, you get $10 off your next service. read more

This is the 3rd time I've gotten my nails done here with Holly. She does very good work! I've been getting powder fills. They aren't too thick and last a long time. This salon is a bit hard to see from the street, but it's right next to Joanne's on Poway Rd. I think it's hard to find a good place and I really like this one.

The wax shack is a lovely business, with such a calming atmosphere. I was there for a pretty…read moresubstantial waxing appointment, but I felt immediately relaxed after stepping inside. My first appointment with Ellen was spectacular. I felt right at home immediately, she was kind and considerate, and did a fantastic job. Personal services can be a little intimidating when you're new, but Ellen made me feel so welcomed and at peace. I will definitely be back!

I've been a client of Ellen's for quite some time and went today for an eyebrow wax and was…read morepleasantly surprised by the efficiency and ease of a job that I usually dread. Ellen's studio is clean and pleasant and I automatically relax whenever I enter the premises. She listened to my concerns and adjusted accordingly. I even tried tinting for the first time and was pleased with the result. Treat yourself to some pampering. You won't regret it! Update: Ellen does a great spray tan!! I'm very fair and cannot spend a lot of time in the sun. This is the answer for me: a healthy glow without all the harmful side effects.

Brazilian waxing experience with Shardonnay 0/10. I scheduled an appointment with Shardonnay for…read morethe first time because I'm new at San Diego. I read about her before booking the appointment and it said she was the employee with the most time in the company. However, her attitude was tremendously horrible. I have to clarify that I arrived on time to the place, but the girl at the lobby was attending another client and was giving her a full introduction about all the packages and promotions they have, and afterwards she proceeded to charge her for the service she had taken. The receptionist took around five to six minutes doing it, until I had to interrupt her and tell her that I had an appointment at 5:30 pm with Shardonnay. It is at that moment that she notified Shardonnay of my arrival. When Shardonnay received me, she had an extremely negative attitude with me, since from the moment she greeted me, she did not allow me to go to the bathroom (which I needed) and started giving me a lecture about punctuality, without even asking me or asking herself or asking receptionist girl, if I had arrived late or if something had happened at the reception. It was to the point that she was not even able to greet me, but very frustrated about her tight schedule, she basically started scolding me and telling me that the service was not going to be the best because she only had 8 minutes to attend me since she had another client after me and that I "had arrived late"... Now, it is important to clarify that if that had been the case, the place policies give a 8-minute window to the client to arrive and still receive a good service. However, she kept saying that the service wouldn't be the best. At first I stayed quiet, but after she kept literally blaming and scolding me, I told her to do her job, but that I did not agree with her attitude, cause of course she had a very bad attitude cause of her frustration. She kept arguing and arguing until I literally had to tell her "just do your job". Very shamelessly she tried not to attend me because she now felt that I was angry, thing that I did not allow her to do because I did not drive from Chula Vista to Miramar, 30 minutes, for her to cancel my appointment just because she was in a bad mood. I sat down and took my service. She did a Brazilian service in 5 minutes. It hurt a lot, of course, because she was already upset and also in a rush, so she was very rough when pulling the wax. Afterwards she realized her mistake and started apologized, to which I literally responded that she didn't have to, what she did was already done. I only made her aware that I arrived on time, the receptionist took time attending another client, and I paid the price for it. So she can keep the apologies and that for next time she learn the lesson and at least she can greet and say what she have to say in a proper way. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY NO, and especially not with her. She may have been working there for many years, but her service and customer attention is THE WORST. She could have gained a loyal client, but because of her rudeness she did not.
