    Newly done nails
    Anne L.

    Who can resist a shiny cat gel nails like this? My first time trying the product, I was so blown away by the end result. It looks so elegant in the shade but under the sun, it was reflecting a glorious of glimmer sparkles, no words can express it Nails were beautifully done, thank you so much!

    I think I just found my new favorite nail place after searching all over north county! Fawn took such detail and precision with my nails, something I haven't noticed with other nail artists. It didn't feel like she was trying to get mine done as fast as possible but rather to make sure she was doing it right. She was so kind and attentive to the type of color I wanted for my nails and I can't wait to come back!

    Super happy with my visit to V! First time at this salon and have been to hundreds across San Diego and LA county. Kevin took my initial call and answered all questions nicely and had an appointment time for me to come in later that day. They do offer Gel X nails + mani/pedis for kids which initially were my two main reasons for choosing them over others in the area. After stopping in, the staff was very friendly to me and my 4 year old daughter, letting her sit in the pedicure chairs next to me even though she couldn't quite reach the foot bowl. They did a polish change for her and my pedicure was amazing. The lady who did my pedicure was incredible + so nice and thorough/not rushed - I wish I had gotten her name! They used hot stones for the massage portion which I loved. Kevin did my Gel X nails himself and was a perfectionist in the best way. They were stunning. The color options are vast and they have many cool trends as well. I haven't been so happy with my nails in years honestly. The shape was excellent and exactly what I asked for. Not to mention, they stayed on for over a month (which yes is too long and they definitely grew out) but with ZERO lift, none falling off, and no breakage. I know a lot of salons that cheap out in the nail glue, but this is not one of them. 10/10 recommend and will be going back! Thank you V Nails for a great experience for me + best experience for my daughters second pedicure.

    Red chrome Gel X
    Alejandra M.

    The service here is always 5/5 stars. If you want good gel x to last you many weeks come here, they always do a great job. They always last me about 4-5wks. I always recommend this place for gel x and pedicures. They take their time doing both and making sure they always offer the best quality.

    The young man in charge takes care of his customers, and makes sure that they do their best to provide excellent service. I highly recommend them because they're never in a hurry, or rush to get you in and out of their salon. Additionally, I recently had an issue with a nail, and the nail was fixed at no cost to me. I truly appreciated that the nail salon made it right with no problem. I always feel pampered by whoever does my nails. I give this place five stars!

    First time coming here and loved my nails! Didn't get the name of the lady who did them but she was great. Thank you

    Been coming here for at least three years now! Steve, Fawn and the entire team are amazing! So kind and funny! My nails are always perfect!

    I have been going to V for 4 plus years. Steve is always so pleasant, kind and funny. He remembers me and my daughter when we come in, always has the chair ready on time when appointments are made. It's a small and more intimate/relaxing setting, which I love. Classic pedicure $30 and it comes with the aroma therapy foot bath and hot stone massage. It's very clean, which is key for me. Located in a strip mall off Melrose, it's easy to get to with plenty of parking.

    I don't usually review things on Yelp but I had such a terrible experience that I'm adding my review from Google. First time here; disappointed The salon is nice. Quiet, with peaceful nature videos on the TV. Cleanish... acrylic nail bits were just swept onto the floor and bottles were partially open. But the table and seat were fine. I got Gel Ex for the first time. I've gotten my nails done a handful of times in the last 5 years, so I'm no expert. But there was no cleaning of my nails before or after buffing, and the first coat of glue/polish was just applied on top of the dust from the buffing. Also, when she cut my natural nails beforehand, she just cut them straight across and did not cut/file the edges of my natural nails. I had to ask for the edges to be smoothed and evened out multiple times, and even then had to fix the sides myself where it was still rough and my natural nail was not filed to blend into the gel ex (as they had not initially been filed). There is also a small air bubble on one nail and a several "balder" spots where the polish was not applied evenly. She did my cuticles very gently, but they are not even and one finger has the base glue/polish extending into my cuticle. She also did the primary shape of the gel ex with great care, doing a short almond shape as I requested. Overall I was there for 1.5 hours. I'm not sure if they are inexperienced in gel ex; if I'm correct it's a relatively new method for the industry. But for $65 (for just plain color, no design) I would have liked nails that I could walk out of the salon with and feel good going straight to a formal event-I did not. I had to finished the filing myself and I feel the need to buy a similar polish to cover the gaps. From other review pictures, that beautiful, perfect manicure look is achieved at this salon; but those manicures must not have been gel ex. I am hopeful that these will at least stay for a few weeks and give me some of my money's worth, since I picked gel ex for the longevity. Edit: I'm dropping my review from 2 stars to 1 because it has been 5 hours since I got my nails done and one already broke. Second edit: the nails were not great, but the shade was pretty so I figured I would keep them and see how long they lasted; I did not expect 5 hours. Not wanting to risk other nails being broken, I returned to the salon the next day to get the gel ex removed and was met by rude customer service. The nail tech who removed my gel ex was the same one who saw my review. He refused to refund me for the botched job, which I politely accepted without argument. Despite this, he seemed personally offended by my review; I had tried to word it nicely, pointing out both good and bad. Still, he initially disagreed with my request to just get the nails removed. He insisted they were nice, then said he didn't see any air bubbles (he had already cut that part off). I understand that negative reviews are not what any business wants, however the solution to this is not to try to convince a customer that their opinion of a poor service is wrong. He told me that nails done at salons break often, and that I wouldn't know this, since, per my review, I don't get my nails done very often. This is true; I don't get my nails done often. But I have gotten them done before with acrylics. I'm also an adult with the ability to think logically, so I knew it was strange and probably bad form when, during my actual nail appointment the day before, my first nail tech buffed my nails, did not wipe them, and then applied the adhesive directly on top of the dust produced from the buffing. I also knew, from both experience and common sense, that professional nail salons should not be adding so much adhesive that it oozes onto the cuticle, should not be doing cuticles so poorly that they look worse than before, and should not apply polish messily along the edges of the nail. I also know that I've never had an acrylic nail break like this before, and so quickly. So: $65 for worse nails than at home. They did a bad job and did not own up to it. The bad job was enough for a negative review; the bad customer service was enough to keep me away forever.
