    Holiday nails!
    Sara K.

    This salon does great and has great girls working there! Always love going here for mani, pedi and to buy beauty products! It is a full service salon so it's great for all beauty needs. They do great designs in gel nails, I always bring pictures and they replicate the photo. I WOULD DEFINITELY REX COME ND THIS SALON!

    My first time coming here and I was quite disappointed. I got the pink and whites and my nails are so uneven and they don't match, with the white tip and fingernail length. They look horrible. I had a lunch date with a friend right after and she made a comment about what a bad job it was. I would have asked for an all new set but I just wanted out of there. I ended up going home and just painting my nails. Not only that but I was told that I should try their waxing services so that I would look prettier. Way to insult your customers. I will definitely not be coming back nor would I ever recommend this place.

    I'm visiting here in Poway from the Seattle area. This was my first visit in this salon. I was very pleased when i asked the manicurist, Tiffany to do my nails in my SEATTLE SEAHAWKS colors and she did a great job! They are very nice too!

    Today was my first time coming to this salon and I loved it! I brought my daughter and they made her feel like a princess! They did a beautiful job on our mani pedi's. I'll definitely be coming back. I also enjoyed that they had conversations with us.

    Went here for the very 1st time today for a manicure and haircut....What a great experience !! It's a brand new business in Poway. It's an extremely clean and modern salon. It's exactly what Poway needed. It's located next to Sprouts in the Vons Plaza. Ask for Vanessa, you won't be disappointed !

    Amazing experience , I feel well taken care of when I come here. I've done pink and whites and pedis and eye lash extensions here. Everything always turns out amazing! Venessa really knows what she's doing! I literally can spend my whole day there doing my nails , hair , eyelash extensions, you name it ! I love this place !

    My hearts that I specifically asked for on the side and they ended up giving me one ugly jacked up heart in the middle of my toes.

    I had a very disappointing experience with an eyebrow wax and henna tinting service performed by…read moreEmma. I clearly requested light brown, natural-looking brows to match my hair color, and Emma assured me that's exactly what she would do. Unfortunately, the results were the opposite -- my brows were tinted jet black, nothing close to what I asked for. When I expressed my concern, Emma's explanation was that my skin was dry and absorbed the dye, which I did not find to be an acceptable or professional response. To make matters worse, the waxing left my face severely red with small sores that are still present more than 24 hours later with no improvement. I paid $95.00 for a service that did not deliver what was promised and has left me with visible skin damage. This was the absolute worst experience I've ever had anywhere. Save yourself the embarrassment and pain and don't go here! This is in response to Emma's comments Your comments are fabricated. You did try to lighten it but it clearly didn't work. I was obviously upset. You instructed me to go home and use shampoo on my brows to try and lighten them. I feel like my review was honest and fair. I didn't mention how you texted me the morning of to change the time of my appointment 30 minutes later. Or how you asked me "If i'd ever come back." Your comments only confirm my statement that it's the worst experience ever! Shame on you!

    I had such a great experience here! This was my first time getting lash extensions, so I honestly…read moredidn't know what I wanted. During my first appointment, I trusted the recommendations because I wasn't familiar with the different styles. While the lashes were beautiful, they ended up being a little too dramatic for my personal style. I went home, gave myself a night to get used to them, but realized they just weren't the look I was going for. I reached out to trang the next morning, and she was so kind and had me come back the very same day. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions about what I liked, what I didn't, and explained that everyone's idea of a "natural" look is different. She really listened and made sure she understood exactly what I wanted before making any changes. The end result was perfect!!! soft, natural, and exactly what I had envisioned. I'm so grateful she took the time to make it right instead of rushing through the appointment. That level of customer service is hard to find, and it made all the difference. I left feeling so much more confident and couldn't be happier with my lashes. I highly recommend this salon, especially if you're new to lash extensions!

    Coming back to my hometown, I was looking for a lash artist I could trust, and I'm so happy I found…read moreTrang. Finding someone who truly understands your eye shape and knows how to customize a set instead of just doing a one-size-fits-all style is so importan and that's exactly what Trang does. From the beginning, she took the time to educate me, explain what would complement my eyes best, and make recommendations based on what would actually enhance my features. I also really appreciated her honesty when discussing my previous lash extensions. She was helping me with an outside fill. She wasn't just trying to sell me on a new set, she genuinely cared about the health of my lashes and creating the best possible look moving forward. The studio itself is such a relaxing experience. It's clean, quiet, and has the perfect environment to fully unwind. One of my favorite details was the elevated platform for your legs during the appointment. It was a small touch but makes a huge difference in comfort, especially during longer appointments. Trang is incredibly patient and takes her time perfecting every detail. You can tell she truly cares about her craft and wants you to leave feeling confident. She has officially become my go-to lash artist whenever I'm back in town, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, customized lashes and an elevated experience.

    I was passing through Poway and needed to get a last-minute mani/pedi before an event, so I…read moresearched Yelp and found Studio Mani because of all the great reviews. I called, and even though I didn't have an appointment, they were kind enough to squeeze me in, which I really appreciated. I went in on Friday, 7/17, around 2:00 PM. I want to start by mentioning the woman who did my pedicure. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she was absolutely lovely,kind, gentle, and did a great job. She's the reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of fewer. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my manicure with Nina (although she told me her name was Kim, while her station said "Nina"). She was extremely rude and unprofessional from the beginning. She handled my hands very roughly, constantly grabbing and pulling them around. The turning point was when I politely asked if she was still planning to file my nails into the same square shape I came in with. My nails were visibly uneven and hadn't been shaped yet. She was about to apply the polish, so I simply asked if she was still going to shape them. Her response was, "I already did," and everything went downhill from there. I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years, since I was a teenager, so I know what a finished nail shape should look like. I normally go to the same salon in Mission Hills, San Diego, but because this was a last-minute invitation, I thought it would be quicker to find a place nearby. I wasn't rude or confrontational, I asked a legitimate question. It seemed like she took it personally or was offended, and her attitude became even worse afterward. It's unfortunate because the manager (I believe she was the one who answered the phone and fit me into the schedule) was very nice and accommodating, and my pedicure experience was great. Unfortunately, one employee can completely change the overall experience. If I'm ever in the area again, I would choose another salon, and I wouldn't recommend this one based on my experience with the manicure.
