This was my first and definitely last visit to this salon. I felt completely uncomfortable from the moment I walked in. The staff were unwelcoming, unfriendly, and did not make any effort to create a pleasant atmosphere for their customers. The service itself was very unprofessional. Multiple technicians were working on me at the same time in a chaotic and disorganized way, which made the whole experience stressful rather than relaxing. Hygiene standards were extremely poor -- the tools and overall cleanliness were far below acceptable standards, which is very concerning in a salon environment. The quality of the pedicure was disappointing. The work looks messy and rushed, and I am honestly embarrassed by how my toenails turned out. I expected much better. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and professional service. read more

Gal cut my toes . 1 actually bled . I jerked & squirmed . Worst pedicure ever ! I will never go back . This evening it hurts when I walk !

Very accommodating walk in, all the employees are very sweet. Pricing is also fair. I love how they aren't super pushy for upgrades, when I need a service done I want to relax and not try to be persuaded and this is that. Pedis are 5 star!!!! I wish my acrylics lasted longer is the only reason for the 4, but with them being thinner and not lasting as long- they do look beautifully natural. read more

I called and made an appointment and they didn't even go by it seeing people before me. They didn't even acknowledge me sitting at the table waiting for awhile. I won't even give this place a chance again After waiting 30 minutes after my appointment she finished my nails I noticed there is so many things wrong and the nails were done poorly. read more

At first, I was happy with their service. I've had good pedicures. I got my nails done. They took about two hours for a full set, which is a lot for plain nails. And they are not updated on new trends because these are super boring looking and to top it off when I got my pedicure the woman made my toe bleed, and I just asked her to stop And she's still trying to charge me for gel when I didn't get any polish at all. read more

Do not recommend! The lady working on my pedicure was extremely rough, bending my toes in positions that they don't bend, she was rushing everything all while talking the ENTIRE time on her earbuds. Literally she never stopped speaking! She cut my cuticle to the point of pain. I had two separate ladies start on my manicure and then leave to go work on somebody else. The one who did my pedicure then ended up doing my manicure and it was again, painful with her twisting and bending my fingers in different directions, she clipped my nails too short and where one side is at an angle! WTF?!! She was again rushing the services and not paying attention. For example, she was squeezing cuticle softener on my fingers WITH THE LID CLOSED! she didn't even realize it. I left there with jagged cuticles and misshaped nails. I was also overcharged! This place sucks. read more

Just had the worst experience. My nail has discoloration due to trauma. Right when I sat down I told her don't cut it and I don't want fake nail. She right away cut it so short then she said it's too short now I have to put fake nail. I just got home and it's burning so bad. Mind you the nail polish look so bad and bubbly she keep put coats one on top of each other before drying. So save your money or go somewhere else. read more

I went to get a pedicure with my aunt. Both of us can't even wear shoes. They yanked the cuticle out in both big toes to the point they were bleeding. My last was on the phone the entire time on her ear buds. Both my big toes hurt but the one is oozing and all crusty. It's horrible. I get pedicures frequently. read more

I've been coming here for the last 3 years and today was the last straw. I got a gel manicure and pedicure. Once I left everything looked great, but once I got home and showered three of my toe nails got a giant bubble in them. I called and they said come back they would fix it, which was great to hear but once I got here. I got treated as if it were my problem of why the bubbles appeared. I'd understand if they were traditional nail polish but they are gel which means the nail should me cured all the way. The way they treated me while in the chair was unprofessional, I asked simple questions of if this is happening to the nail should we just repaint all of them and the only thing the nail technician said was don't move and ignored me. Then while taking the polish off the defect nails she was very aggressive and annoyed the entire time. Just kept tell me not to me, which I was not moving at all. The vibe of the technician was completely off. I've never been treated this way. read more

Lee is the best! Quality work that looks amazing and fast! She's always happy to accommodate my requests and my nails last so long!

If I could give no stars it would still be extremely generous. I am a retired Cosmetologist and was aCosmetology teacher for many years. The level of professionalism is non existent. I brought my 85 year old mother for a pedicure as she can't cut her own nails any more. The lady was extremely rude when she asked her to cut them shorter. She didn't even respond and just kept working as if my mother was invisible. I asked her to cut them shorter and she got all bent out of shape and said she couldn't or they would bleed. They were long enough to make holes in her shoes. I had to cut them myself. The lady working on my feet seemed to have difficulty handling the nippers and seemed to struggle. I also had to cut my own nails. She kept talking and turning to the manicurist next to her not even looking at what she was doing on my feet. Very rude to sit and carry on a complete conversation in another language and totally ignore your client and not pay attention to what they are doing. They are handling instruments that cut. You can also see in the photos she got polish all over my toes and didn't clean it and didn't cut the dry skin off. I have the feeling they have people who aren't licensed working under other people's licenses as there are more manicurists that licenses displayed. I asked to see the lady's license and she refused. I was asked to speak to the manager, so I politely asked and he refused to even give me his name! If they are on the up and up why aren't they complying with the law of having the license displayed? How can you report a problem to Barbering & Cosmetology if you don't know the name or license number of the person who worked on you should you have a problem? Such a shame it is a nice salon and location is convenient. However, I rather drive all the way to "Downtown Nails & Spa" where they are so professional and the quality of the work is outstanding. read more

NO STARS! WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD IN ANY NAIL SALON. My daughter & I went in for: 1. Manicure, gel fill 2. Full svc. Pedicure for myself. After being seated in pedicure station chair withing first 5 minutes I had to stop the rude lady working on me. She cut my toe causing me to bleed after I already had to say something to her TWICE! SHE couldn't even clip my toenails properly & then clipped me-after I already told her be careful - Twice! SHE HAD THE NERVE TO STILL CHARGE ME $21 BUCKS for that! for cutting me with toe clippers, causing me to bleed , unbelievable! $21 to have nails cut, after worse service ever! I paid for my daughter's refill, manicure $65. For a refill ! Total cost for shitty nail salon =. $ 86 bucks! Never again.... read more

The customer service is awful it is so unwelcoming the shaping is horrible too they rushed through it not to mention my friend got a pedicure and the polish was chipped right after the appointment and for $47 for a pedicure that was nothing like the description never come here read more

i'm very disappointed with the service I received my acrylic nails are crooked and I feel I was overcharged first they gave me one they charged me another will not be returning and I do not recommend this place for anyone who values service and honesty. My spa chair didn't even work. This really sucks. read more

Was alright, but wouldn't go back due to the service. My pedicurist was fairly rough, I got 2 cuts from the exfoliating pumice, I kept flinching and she kept saying "oh you ticklish" .. no, it hurt! She kept changing what I requested and wanting to up-charge me ... did the callous remover instead of the masque treatment I requested, offered a massage (which was supposedly included in the treatment I chose) for "$6 extra", the stone massage was maybe 3 minutes long in total instead of 10, the gel polish is "$18 extra". I was not offered a beverage like everyone else receiving pedicures. Overall fairly disappointing, I can get a $52 pedicure anywhere in San Diego! read more

I love this salon and have been going to them for over 2 years now. Jason, Tiffany, and Lee are our "go-to's" and always do an amazing job. High quality nails that don't chip, lift, etc. and their designs are amazing. Always a great experience. read more

Finally went in to redeem a gift card today that I was given after the birth of my first child in 2022. I was told the card had $0 on it. I was also told that it would be too old after 2 years. If the company is still in business I would expect the card to hold its value unless otherwise disclosed on the gift card. Sounds sketchy to me. Will not be returning. read more

Lee is the absolute best because she is so sweet and really pays attention to detail to make sure that each nail looks amazing! This was my first salon visit since covid and I felt very comfortable, clean and safe. There are plexiglass barriers to separate you and the nail tech, and every other station is used to assure social distancing. read more

I visited Styles Nail Spa today around 3:30 with my 4 year old daughter. I asked if someone was available to paint my daughters finger and toe nails. The nail technician directed us to a woman at the last table. My daughter sat down at the table and the lady began to paint her finger nails and then told her to relax in very broken English. My daughter didn't understand her so I said she is telling to relax your fingers. After painting my daughters fingernails the lady came and sat in a low chair and placed my daughters feet on her knees so that she could paint her toes. My daughter leaned back and accidentally rubbed one of her finger nails on the chair. I reminded my daughter that her nails were wet and to be careful. I pointed it out the smudged nail to the woman and asked her to please repaint it. Moments later the woman grabbed my daughter's wrists and jerked her towards her and yelled what sounded like "hold still". I immediately snapped back at the woman and told her not to touch my daughter like that. I don't know if she understood what I said. I was fuming mad. I told the lady at the front what just happened and told her that I wanted someone else to finish my daughters nails. A new woman appeared and was much nicer and had more patience. The previous woman had the nerve to come and try to paint my daughter's smudged finger nail. I shoe'd her hand away and said don't you dare come near my daughter. As I was leaving I once again shared what happened to my daughter with the woman at the front. She said sorry. I asked for the woman's name (Amy) and told them they should never let her provide a service on children. I made my point clear, but left there feeling upset. My 4 year old talked about it the whole way home of how the lady was mean. read more

I normally have the best experience here at Styles Nails & Spa but today I found the service disrespectful. Jason was helping me today. From the moment I sat down he was constantly talking and texting on the phone. He was 3/4 of the way done when he stopped working on my nails and started texting for about 2 minutes while I just sat there watching him. I finally asked him to complete my nails and stop texting and talking on the phone. His response was "well I'm talking to my wife" He did stop when I asked him to but I shouldn't of had to ask him to stop. He said that it was his job because he was the manager. Talking on the phone to his wife and texting is the job of the manager? Also, they are incorrectly charging customers. I paid for the Royal pedicure and she wanted to charge me an extra $5.00 This is the flower... it looks like a blob on my toe. read more

Negative stars if I could. This is the second time I tried getting my nails done at this place. Not only are this people non verbal, but they just looked my way and asked me what I wanted, and completely ignored me. Never once did they stopped to tell me a time frame. Some of them were just sitting on their phones. I guess this is how you do business in 2023. Good luck to them in that regard. read more

Walked in ( signs say walk In's welcome) and was told "we don't have time" no one was waiting and plenty of available seats.

I honestly wanted to contact the owner first before doing a review. I left very frustrated as well as telling the nail tech i did not like it or think it was pretty and that i would take it off when i got home. On a fair side to the nail techs i did come in close to closing. However I called ahead to make sure it was ok and while there i asked if it would be ok to do nails also and if not i could come back tomorrow. I was assured it was ok. I asked for gel nails and was given regular paint. A wipe on and right off massage for the arms as she showed me how bad it burned for her to do the massage with all her open wounds on her hand. They had no non latex gloves so both nails and toes had to be done with no gloves. The pedicure i had to ask for what came in the package, as she did not want to even touch my toes. Which i get as she had no gloves but if you dont want to then dont. Get someone else. but the toes still have green paint showing nothing was cleaned up. I dont go often so I had wanted to treat myself. I Should have 100% gone when I had ample time to have them fixed. I dont want to be a Karen at all nor am I trying to be. As I stated I wanted to contact them first to have it fixed. I will update my review after seeing if this will be resolved. The ladies seemed very nice in there. I want to again point out that I asked clearly if there was time for a pedicure and was told yes to come in. I asked if there was time for gel mani and said i would come back if there was not. i was told yes there was time. It was not a good experience at all. I hope to be able to go back and have the fix the toe nails and have them all at least round instead of cockeyed and with the green from before all the way off. the fingernails i want gel as i asked for. I would also like for the polish to actually cover both toe nails and fingernails. I will update after the opportunity hopefully arises to have this fixed. I dont have the pics on my computer but I do have them and hopefully i can post a before and after. I just want to be able to review after leaving happy... I know they work hard so I would like to have a better outcome. Thank you for listening read more
