    I went a few years without my favorite stiletto nails, and I'm happy to say that Ucare Nails Bar has been a reliable go-to for a quality set and chill vibes. I'll take a pic of the fresh set next time, but here's one of me holding a cocktail, for good measure.

    1 week later. Gel mani pedi
    Nicolette L.

    Update: After posting this review the business owner reached out to me to sincerely apologize for my experience. While I greatly appreciate her understanding my concerns I still believe this review should serve as a reminder to customers to be very clear and communicate what you want with your nail tech. I don't think people should be afraid of coming here based off my review and experience. If you go to any nail salon make sure you tell your nail tech what you do and don't want right when you sit down in their chair. Do not stay silent. Thank you Amy for trying to correct the situation and providing good customer care. The facility was clean and the techs were nice enough. But the work was not great. I got a gel mani and pedi. My pedicure started off good until I felt the tech cut the side of my nail and yank my ingrown toe nail out without asking. My ingrown toe nails use to hurt for years until I STOPPED cutting them and they grew out naturally. Now that it's cut it's been extremely sore and swollen since. I was looking at my toe today and when I when to grab my big toe to inspect why it was hurting, puss came out! So assuming it's now infected from her pulling my toe nail out of the side... I see why it's so red and swollen. The polish job looked ok until a week later my toes have chipped. My nails were average. The paint job wasn't as close to the cuticle as I prefer but good enough. I wanted the design on two fingers matching each hand but my tech did not listen to which fingers I told her so my hands were mismatched. Unfortunately, I noticed peeling and chipping 5 days later on 3 of my nails. I spent $108 dollars and $20 in tip. My toes hurt and look terrible and my nails look even worse.

    We decided to try this year old salon in Esco. Service was great. The lady that did my pedicure was gentle and did a awesome job overall. Price for the classic pedi though was steep for $36. For Escondido, that is a bit much. I can name several places in different nice areas in SD that offer less for a classic pedi.

    Next day after a basic manicure so so bad

    I went in for a basic manicure to clean up my cuticles . Paid $40 w tip. The next day , look at these nails ?? When the nail tech did my cuticles she barely did and was using an face extraction tool not even an actual nail tool. Very odd. Won't be back.

    My daughter and future daughter-in-law went together to get our nails done for a girls trip. They booked here and it was our first time. What a pretty and clean salon! That's the first thing I noticed. We came at the end of the day- we had reservations. They had classical music playing which made for a peaceful vibe. Ivy did my nail dip and she was- no lie- the BEST i have ever had. She was quiet, a perfectionist, and so fast!!! I loved how she made sure my nails were smooth and not too thick. 10/10. Diane also comes highly recommended!! She did nails for us too and they were wedding ready perfect. And the sweetest ever. She was truly wonderful. I love how you can also use Zelle or Venmo for payment. Really great experience and we will be back.

    Stunning nails

    Quite literally the most gorgeous classy well done French tips I've ever had! Emma did my nails and she was phenomenal so kind and professional as well For short almond my total was $65.

    I absolutely LOVE this place! I was hesitant since I didn't have the best experience at the other establishment down the street. I moved back to North County and have been looking for a new spot, so I figured I'd give this place a shot and I am so happy I did! I've gone back a couple times and each time it's amazing. My nails always look so good and I always get tons of compliments! Their pedicure with hot stones is my favorite!! Sooooo relaxing and it feels so good with these cold days! 100/10 !! The inside has a very clean lux aesthetic. Will be back soon. Thank you ladies!

    I absolutely love this new establishment! I have been going to the other Ucare down the street (same owners), I really love their expertise and customer service. I have been going with Rachel for years for nails and various other techs for my spa pedicures and they have always been fantastic! I wanted to give this new salon a try (it's the same distance fr my home). The salon ambience is chic and equipped with brand new equipment including amazing massage chairs! Parking was plentiful and extremely convenient as well. I highly recommend, check it out!

    Full set acrylic nails + design

    Always such a good job when I come in! Love the quality of nails and the customer service. They really have quality service and detail oriented skills. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a new nail spot!

    I came here to get a manicure and pedicure. The staff here were very nice. The place was very clean. I spent close to $100 on the mani and pedi and got the gel as well. After 10 days the gel started to peel however so I don't feel the cost of this was worth it. It did look nice up until it started peeling, but I feel it should have lasted longer than it did.

    Love the vibe here.. Rachel is the best nail tech that I have been looking for.. someone did my nails one time and it sucked it was so thick.. but no worries book with Rachel and you won't be disappointed..

I sent my mom a list of places and the first option they were automatically rude due to us not having an appointment scheduled. This ended up being where we ended up and it couldnt have gone any better than it did. They greeted us warmly and although they were busy they told us to give them a few minutes and they'd be right with us. Not 5 minutes later were we getting our nails done. They offered us a drink while we wated. My mom opted for the green tea and I had a Mimosa. Tony treated my mom so well,she's been having an issue with one of her nails and he paid attention and made her hands look stunning. I had Mary and she was the sweetest. She did such an amazing job. We went back this weekend and this time around my mom was helped by Tony and Holly and I got Amy. This is an amazing place to go. They stay busy consistently because although we had an appointment mannn did they have clientele. They are always so sweet and pleasant. My mom and I will definitely be returning.

The owner is nice and the young girl who answers phones and checks clients in. However after yesterday I will no longer be going back. I brought my best friend with me, it was her first visit there. She had Jimmy as her technician. When she asked if he could clean up around the nails and underneath, he threw a fit like a toddler would. He said he wasn't comfortable doing her nails, got a big attitude. Then I stepped in because my friend wasn't going to ask again. Well then Jimmy and I got into it. He called me a bitch, was so rude and unprofessional. I'm disappointed in how the owner reacted. Jimmy needs to be fired for his lack of professionalism. There was no solution to his poor behavior. Jenny is great and if she moves salons I'll see her again but I refuse to go back to a place that treats and allows their employees to act that way. There should have been a discount or something given for the poor experience. But nope nothing, $140 later for two sets of nails. Ridiculous lol My response to the lack of ownership this owner has taken: That's funny, because that's not what you were saying during the service. You repeatedly apologized to both my best friend and me. This was her first time here, and even you acknowledged the experience was unacceptable and apologized for it. I was personally hugged and told "sorry" for the incident, and you even stated that you would handle the situation accordingly. If you have the video, that's great, it will reflect his behavior exactly as I stated from the beginning. As a business owner, especially after having a loyal customer for years, your response here only shows a complete lack of professionalism.
