I did a walk-in towards the end of the day and they still took me in. I felt bad because I was the last client and we finished 5 minutes before they closed. I didn't feel rushed at all though! I also don't get my nails done often so I didn't really know what I needed. I just trusted Nick to make my nails look cute and sure enough he did :) read more

Swan Nails & Spa - Fresh mani! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

I like this place because it's close to my home. It's not super fancy. It's just kind of a neighborhood place. I really really wanted this to be my nail salon but I can't get over the fact that even though I tip $20 EVERY SINGLE TIME they always ask me for cash, now hear me out. We all pay taxes on our earnings. It irks me that every time I say no I don't have cash then they'll ask me well, do you have Venmo? And then they give the little sad face. You should see my sad face when I pay payroll taxes every week. It's not fun, but I have to do it. What they're doing is called tax evasion. It's criminal and they should be turned in. You pay taxes on all of your earnings and so do I and so should they. I will not be coming back. I hope if you read this review, you stop with the cash that they ask for and use your card. What they are doing is wrong. read more

Swan Nails & Spa - Clearly no misunderstanding Kim. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

I just moved to town and this was four minutes away from my house. I walked in. They took me right away for a pedicure and a full set and really paid attention to detail. I have no complaints. They were one of the quickest full set and pedicure I've ever had. The women there are so experienced and professional. They knew exactly what to do and did every step and didn't rush my nails at all and didn't make them look sloppy. I had the best experience and can't wait to go back the women there were so sweet. read more

I've found my go to nail place! I came here to get tips and catseye done and they absolutely delivered. It was easy to book an appointment. I got my nails done by Tommy and a pedicure by Mong (sp?). I have come again for a gel manicure a few weeks ago and will come back again. I felt very comfortable and feel like I know some of the staff already. They are very personable! read more

Nice to find this spot in San Marcos. Idk how they do with acrylics and Gel as we always go in for a pedi and besides the fact that i've always had great pedi experience here, the price is excellent compared to other places . I had the pleasure or meeting Kim today as she did my regular mani and it was a great experience. Even though it was a regular mani, she was very purposeful . The color and quality turned out perfect. Thank you, Kim read more

I was happy with the duration of and elements included in the pedicure service, especially for the price, however my skin was cut too far back and I was left with an infection. I'm not sure the instruments they used were sanitized, and obviously their protocol for callus and dry skin removal is less than stellar. What actually led me to leave this review is the fact that while I was receiving my pedicure, a client came back in complaining of a sore toe and asked for someone to help remedy the pain. So I'm obviously not the only person to have issues with poor service. Also, customer service was lacking. The woman started working on my feet without asking what service I wanted. I saw a menu and finally grabbed it on my own to show her what I wanted. The salon itself was nice enough, not anything fancy but it was well stocked with color options and the massage chair was comfortable. read more

I had such an amazing experience here. I called and got an immediate response from the owner. She got me booked and in within 10 minutes. My nail tech was Sophia and she was beyond accommodating. She helped me pick the perfect gel color after we tried a bunch on. The price for my gel set ($42) including my cat eye (extra $10) came out to $52 which was amazing. She cleaned my cuticles beautifully and with care. I will definitely be returning and referring people here! read more

Got me in on a Sunday, and had a great pedicure! Very fun atmosphere and nice choice of colors.

I was able to walk in and be seen immediately. I received the regular pedicure and for the most part it looks really good! There is just some polish around my toes that wasn't removed but overall, for a pedicure under 30 bucks, I was very happy! read more

This place is honestly horrible 3 days after I got my a new acrylics set here my nail color started chipping off mind you I wear gloves when doing dishes ect so I take great care of my nails , I contacted the manager so that I can do a color change since this one is was completely chipping off she stated I can come in an end up charging me another $58 for the change of color! Told me last minute it was considered a new set so ridiculous.....Worst customer service ever don't waste your time or money here. read more

The last thing I want to do is go back to have you guys "clear" it up... I am waking up every morning with blood that I have to clear up and I can also see a cut. If I could give 0 stars I would. I checked previous reviews and this is not the first time this complaint has been made. You guys really need to make sure you are listening and paying attention to your customer complaints. I am most likely going to need to make a doctor's appt if this does not clear up. read more

Swan Nails & Spa - Cool Colors! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

My daughter and I visited Swan Nails for the first time today and we were very pleased with our services. The shop is small and when we went in, it was in the middle of a busy rush (around 4p.m. on a Tuesday). We didn't have appointments but they were able to take us for a full acrylic set for me and a gel manicure pedicure for her. ($115 pre-tip) I didn't get the name of the woman who did my daughter's nails, but I appreciated her attention to detail and gentle touch while working with my daughter. She did an especially good job placing large glitter on her small fingernails to ensure consistent coverage so both her mani and pedi came out great. Allie did my full set and I have to rave about how well she executed my IG inspo. I am always nervous about bringing inspo to a place I've never been to, but I said screw it and asked anyway. I'm so glad that I did because the end result was exactly what I wanted down to the smiley face with Xs for the eyes just like in the inspo pic. I asked for black paint instead of the brown pictured. In addition to the solid mani execution, she did a solid job on the acrylics making them smooth and not too thick like I've had done at other places. I hope these last because I love this set! My only concern is the almost overwhelming chemical smell when you first enter the shop. It's not a large space and they kept the door open while I was there, but the smell was pretty strong for the first 20 mins we were there. I guess I got used to it after that. Haha. A fan or air purifier/filter might do the trick for the staff and customers to breathe a little easier. Net-net, I would def recommend this shop as well as the two techs i worked with (though, they all seemed capable and attentive). We will be back! read more

First time at this salon and I am super happy with the result! I was a walk-in for a full set and was taken care of rather quickly. The nail technician who helped me with my services was very polite even when I changed my mind on the initial design. There was chill relaxing music playing in the background and seemed to be overall a good environment. Love how my nails came out. Will book an appointment next time I come in read more

The interior is just like any other nail salon. But what brings me back to a place is the quality of a massage with a pedicure. I can't remember the last time I had an exceptional massage with my pedicure! Kim spent her time on my leg/foot massage and didn't rush through it like a lot of other places do, I really appreciated that. And my sister loved hers as well, thank you Tommy! Will definitely be back again! read more

Kim makes the strongest, shiniest nails I've ever had. I'm rough on my hands and my nails last through harsh cleansers, potting soil, pulling weeds, putting on and taking off my baby's carseat several times a day... My hands take a lot of abuse and my nails still look flawless when I need them to. Sofia took such good care of my feet. I forgot I had a cut on my foot until it began to hurt. When I told her she listened and could tell it was sensitive. She was mindful to avoid and protect that area for the remainder of my pedicure. These woman work hard and have jobs that can take a toll on their backs and hands. I appreciate their attention to detail, quick yet careful hands, and the quality of their work. Get your manis and pedis at Swan. It's worth every penny and they deserve big tips!! read more

Tommy is absolutely the best! He takes his time and is really good with intricate and detailed designs. Highly recommend this nail salon for any special event. read more

Said $120 was total when I first checked out and then changed it to $130 when I was trying to pay, I even argued with her about it. They also messed up a nail left with a crooked design and had to redo my big toe like 3 times during the pedicure because she kept messing up. read more

Nail tech worked quickly and did a great job shaping and with the art I wanted. The issue I had was my nails started popping off after a week and by week 2 I had lost half of them. I'm pretty hard on my nails and get them a little bit long but they should still last a minimum of two weeks before I start losing any. I'm not sure what caused this set to pop off so quickly or easily as the work seemed to be quality initially. read more
