Water was lukewarm warm. She asked how the water was and I said cold. She went to the next chair and adjusted its faucet. It remained cold and unpleasant. Nail tech cut my skin several times with the fine and dremel file. I said "ow" loudly and she laughed and said "it tickles?" I said no it hurts. She used the exfoliating cream on my feet and basically was rubbing it onto the top of my feet and it hurt! I told her "softer" she laughed and said "it tickles!" again. This was incredibly annoying and I could not get up and walk out. Worst pedicure EVER!!! read more

Update: my usual nail tech was appalled at how over filed my nails were after coming here. On the road back to good nail health GIRLIES DONT COME HERE!!! read more

Helen here is so amazing! I came in for a pedicure and got the hot stone one and was more than impressed! She was so sweet and basically put me to sleep! I will say the person my mom had was a little aggressive while doing my mom's mani (the woman who answers the phone calls). She was also very dismissive and when my mom asked for shorter nails 2 times in a row, the woman rolled her eyes. Overall I would really only go back if I got an appointment with Helen. read more

Walked in just to get my gel polish taken off. Charged me $15 and not all the polish is even off. Will stick to my normal nail salon read more

Love that they take walk ins! I came right after work and had a few broken nails so my fingers were sensitive to begin with and i decided last minute to get a pedicure as well. I was out of there almost less than an hour which was really nice and really good prices! Would be back :) read more

I came into this salon today to get a full set with powder, an eyebrow and lip wax. I got the pleasure of having these services done by Jackie! She was so kind, easy to talk to and she did an incredible job! I asked for very short almond nails with a neutral color with a hint of pink undertone. My eyebrows and lip wax also came out great. I highly recommend this clean and calming salon and I couldn't recommend Jackie enough! I will be back to see her :) Thank you! read more

My go-to when I'm in town - I've been going here for nearly 10 years. Jackie is the manager and always remembers me & she does my eyebrows to perfection. Kathy is my fave for manicure. Pedicures are on point. Can't say enough about this place. 10/10 read more

Tammy does an amazing job. I get a pedicure from her with gel and it's lasts 6 weeks!!! Amazing. I would get nail service from her but my job does not allow it. read more

Linda did an excellent job! I had the gel manicure with the paraffin wax because my hands were so dry from the season. She was very nice and easy to talk too. She also waxed my eyebrows all within an hour. Great shop, convenient location. Clean and comfortable. read more

They will tell you the nails will last for 6 weeks, but mine barely lasted a week and a half. The edges chipped, and the nail extensions started lifting from the nail, too. I called and asked if they could fix it, and I made an appointment. However, when I arrived they told me I had called the wrong number for their other location. I attached a screenshot of my call, and fixed their number on Apple Maps for them. I'm a pretty understanding person, but it was a rough greeting. I was only taken in because another client encouraged it. read more

So I had made an appointment I think a month ago for a full set, realized I had to cancel. I tried calling 5 times. Nobody answered. I call now to try to make another appointment and the lady that answered was short and rude. I asked her if I could make an appointment and she said "are you even going to show up this time?" And I was just baffled and confused and asked "huh?" And was about to explain that I tried to cancel. And she cut me off and said "what do you want." "Just fills.." and she said "okay" and hung up. I didn't trust that I was going to receive good quality nails, because I thought she might've been petty about it since she was rude over the phone. So I canceled and she was just "k thanks bye". I support small businesses but like who talks to people like that? Idk a very weird vibe from that place. read more

I was a walk in and did not have an appointment. Staff was nice. I got a mani and pedicure. No gel. I got the lowest spa pedicure (40) and my total for mani-pedi was $61 (1 for using card). They don't seem to be the most hygienic place I've been too. The towels used were worn down, didn't see new packs of tools opened for each customer, I think they reused the same tools like buffers and nail files on multiple customers... also the licensing paper on their wall said only valid until 2018? It was an okay experience. They were fast and seem like an efficient team. But it's not super relaxing in side. Lots of talking and it's a busy place on a Friday. This was a spur of a moment walk in. With wait time and total time for service, it was a total of 1 hour. Seemed/felt really fast/rushed and not so relaxing. Maybe they're better if you make an appointment and/or not go on a Friday? Another thing, I always tip $10 to each technician that works on me wherever I go. And this place was adamant that tip is only cash. They wanted me to use their ATM, when I explained its either tip on the card or no tip (theres no sign anywhere about tips only being in Cash that I saw) then the technician relented and said I can put tip on my card. Overall.. idk. 3 stars. Not great. Not horrible. But I had some concerns. So for a total of $81 with tip, it was ok, but I've been to nicer places and probably won't return. Again nails weren't bad. Just wasn't as relaxing as I hoped, felt rushed, and with the way I tip, I've been to other places in North County that are more relaxful and luxurious. read more

Zero stars wasn't an option! Been coming for years, will NEVER go again. Had a French gel mani from Tammy did not recognize the male pedi tech who was rough and in an obvious hurry. Both butchered my hands and feet I'm bleeding and marked from both I can't even wear tennis shoes after the chunk taken off my baby toe I hope his tools were clean otherwise it's definitely infected and has been throbbing ever since. Day after 3 nails are peeling or chipped I'm supposed to go on vacation tomorrow and am now paying to get mani fixed elsewhere and am worried about feet being in a public pool or Sandy beach since it feels like an open wound. Manager who wasn't present but available by phone, did fully refund me after offering me a 20% discount to which I was completely repulsed. I literally had to ask her how much should I pay for having puncture wounds? $000 Please see all photos -------Buyer Beware read more

I needed to get in last minute because I had a trip the next day. My best friend recommended Unique nails so I gave it a try. I'm SO glad I went here!!

I will be going back here from now on! read more

I got a full set and it came out beautifully. The workers seemed very nice and happy the help with anything I needed

I haven't had a pedicure since before my daughter was born (she's now 1 and half) and I'm pregnant with another. It was much needed and a little self-splurge. My sister was getting married in the area and all other places weren't welcoming walk-ins or opening on time. I happened to come upon this Nail Salon by chance and am so happy I did! They are so sweet here & did an amazing job! I got the Deluxe Pedicure and was not disappointed. I'm not sure if it was because it's Mother's Day weekend and I'm pretty obviously huge and pregnant, but they weren't rushing. They took their time with my massage and did an amazing job. Being 7 months pregnant with my toddler, I really needed that massage! I was able to get my eyebrows done at the same time! Both my brows and toes look amazing! I'd highly recommend and I'm glad none of the other places were open so I could find this place! read more

Customer service was excellent! Didn't catch everyone's name but Cathy was my nail tech- super friendly and high quality work! Everyone did a great job! Will def be back! read more

Great, fast and friendly service . Was recommended and I will definitely be back! Lots of color choices to choose from read more

Really rude and overly expensive.. paid 210 for manicure, pedicure and waxing.. this is including the tip and had the nerve to tell me I was cheap last time I came when I had to come back so they could fix the "long lasting gel powder coat" within 3 days of them falling off. disappointed I needed to have the girl that didn't do a good job fix them too. Won't be coming back read more

New to the area and was looking for a nail salon. Next door is one of my favorite markets so was happy to find this salon. Very happy with the service and work! Love my nails! I asked for square and that's what I got. I am active in climbing and hiking so my feet and hands show it (broken nails, callus etc)... they did an awesome job and helped me pick a color I loved! read more

I went in for a mani and pedi with my mother in law. We both thought our pedicures were great but when we got to our manicures it was terrible. We both decided to go for acrylic instead of a regular manicure. We just asked for the same gel color we used on our toes. Our acrylic came out lumpy and messy. They didn't clean up under our nails so some nails are thicker than others and some have acrylic stuck on the bottom. Some nails were longer than others as well. We were just not happy at all with our acrylics for the amount we paid. In total I paid $220 for our manis and pedis. Regardless of the work the staff was nice so we still decided to tip $50. We probably will not return again. Very nice people though I feel bad leaving such a bad review :( read more

I've been to this salon twice, both times I've seen Ivy. She's very friendly and accommodating, although there is a bit of a language barrier. In the long run though, it's all about the quality of her work, and I'm completely satisfied. It's been almost 4 weeks since my last pedicure and the polish is still beautiful. My gel manicure lasted 3 weeks...and only needed to be redone because of growth. At other salons I've had issues with chipping polish...which was blamed on me...not one nail has chipped after seeing Ivy. The salon is clean with a good "vibe"... read more

Alway happy with the service of this business. The are friendly, and professional. I highly recommend this business

Everything about my experience here was perfect. The salon is clean and comfortable and the people who work here are very friendly too. My nail technician was Winnie and another lady did my pedicure, but I didn't catch her name. They both did an amazing job. Prices are decent. This is definitely my new spot! read more

Hana does a great job. I had been going to this nail salon for 2+ years. But the owner seems to be very demanding. Never mattered to me cause I only went to Hana. Finally I tried to say something and she acted rude and narcissistic back to me. Sorry Hana. No more 25-30% tips cause I'm not coming back read more

This little nail shop is hidden in a shopping center and almost unnoticeable from outside. I was headed home from Frazier Farms and asked Siri to tell me where there was a nail shop near me and she lead me here! Way to go Siri! I had a toe injury and hadn't gotten a pedicure in almost a year. My daughter starts school tomorrow and was begging to get one. We both got pedicures and she got a manicure for $45 (not including tip) They were super busy and a little short staffed when we got there, but i didn't mind waiting at all. After all, we walked in without an appointment. The place is very modern and extremely clean! The massage chairs were all in great condition and the foot tubs were shiny clean! The ladies were very friendly. They seemed genuine as well. They were always smiling and never distracted. I'm really glad I found this spot. It's definitely going to be my new "go to" for mani-pedi's! read more

Never in my 17 years of salon experience have I been treated so horribly. I set my appointment with salon owner Snow. I arrived on time & ready for my new full set as I had requested directly with her. I waited patiently while she continued with her other client. I was then directed by another woman to sit in her chair. The horrendously rude treatment began. As the nail tech Jackie began berating me about the 3 remaining nails I had left on. As she stated "This is such an inconvenience! Who would do such a horrible job like this?!" Shocked by these statements, without ever meeting her before or knowing her name. Snows client spoke up as she noticed my discomfort, "Don't worry, she's mean to everyone. She means well. She does a good job. Just look past her mean attitude." At this very moment I should have left, due to the premonition. I proceeded to explain in detail to Jackie my request for long square nails as wide as my nail base, also thicker. As I continued to explain it was necessary due to my job as a Physio therapist. I'm hard on my nails! Jackie agreed & said "No problem!" I noticed she was placing tips that were small & pinching my nails, I kindly reminded her of my needs. She replied "Don't worry it will be ok." Then she proceeded to try & convive me of getting coffin shaped. I continued to tell her NO! Through out the entire time she constantly adjusted my hands & arms. Yelling at me to "RELAX!!" Telling me how frustrating I was to deal with. After she applied the acrylic I told her for the third time, I needed them thicker. She replied "You don't know what you want, you'll be fine! I know how to do nails, not you!" Mind you, Snow the salon owner & person i scheduled with is present to all of this unprofessional, rude behavior. I really spoke up, nicely & said "No, I know what I need." Then Snow finally spoke up, only to say "See if you can go two weeks without them breaking. Then you know you can survive with them like this!" I was floored by this behavior!!! Jackie smugly laughs & finishes my nails. At which time she raised the price on me by $10! When she quoted me one price at the beginning. I brought this up to her & she states "Your long nails are so HARD!! It takes sooooo much time to do, because you wanted them long my next client is waiting!!" I said well, I clarified this with Snow before I made the appointment. So it's not my fault you take 2 1/2 hours for a new set. She then left me at the table for other client while I dried my gel coat nails. Having to switch my hands myself. Due to the salon having a few clue ya o did not desire to create a bigger scene. I text Snow directly with displeasement. She did apologize & asked me to book with her directly. I then reminded her I had the first time & due to her lack of concern for Jackie's behavior & her added behavior I was not comfortable returning. I requested a refund. Which she denied & said no matter how hard the try they can't please everyone! I later spoke to a friend about the horrible incident & she said she had experienced something similar. She also spoke to Snow about Jackie's outlandish rude behavior. Again Snow defended her. So I suggest you save your time, money & dignity by not going here. read more
