Kristy S.

I was in need of a new nail salon so my friend recommended this place. You'll need to make an appointment and bring cash. Yen does fantastic work. She is very detailed and cares a lot about her work. The salon is clean. It's ran by 2 sisters so I can understand needing to make an appointment. Overall I'm very happy with my nails and will recommend to others.

Acrylic fill and gel polish

Yen fit me in for a last minute appt and did a wonderful job trimming down and filling my acrylics. The previous place I'd been made them WAY too thick and she fixed that for me too. She was super sweet and I highly recommend this salon. Everything was very clean and they had a good selection of colors for both gel and regular.

Natural look this week

I have been going to Vanessa nails for over 15 years now. I can say Yen (the owner) is a true artist. She breezes through my acrylics making it look so easy, but I've had enough bad nail jobs from others to know better. She knows my "style" and gives me suggestions when I ask, and knows my moods when I feel talkative or want to be quiet. Her sister Ahn does great pedicures too. The shop is clean, there is usually the cooking channel on the big screen tv to watch. I highly recommend Vanessa Nails.

Two sisters rocking it at nails! My nails don't hold regular polish, gel or acrylic well. I met yet when I moved here a few months ago, have gone here several times now and she's one of the only people who get my nails exactly how I like them (I'm very picky when it comes to shape and love short nails) When she does my nails, there's no peeling until about the fourth week. The color and shape are spot on and they have great service! To ensure they're available when you come, I highly recommend calling and making appointment in advance.

Yen is the best... she is always, professional, courteous, patient, and definitely not a price gouger! Her and her sister Ann put a lot of TLC in all their work. My nails are always so beautiful and the most important thing I love about her work is my nails are never too thick; they last about a month until I get fills, unless I want a polish change. Thank you Yen and Ann

More then two weeks after getting my nails done and they are still on strong. I had a great experience here and the prices are great too.

It has been more then two weeks getting my nailed done and usually there are already Breaks and cracks in my nails because I'm always using my hands, but after getting my nails done at Vanessa nails there are such great results with hardly any damage and they are still on strong. I had a great experience here they take such good care or you as well, and there work is phenomenal.

Love going to Vanessa Nails! Yen is such a sweetheart! I've been going to her for about a year now, and I have never been disappointed.

Recently moved to Vista, CA and needed to find myself a new nail salon! The first time I stopped in I was not served due to not making an appointment, no big deal- I understood. I scheduled an appointment the same day for later in the day with Anh. She did a great job on my nails but when I got home I compared hands and the nails on one hand were shorter than the other. I also had some nails that were skinny and some that were wide. I filed them myself when I got home to fix the issues. About a week later one of my nails popped off while doing some cleaning at work. I called for a repair appointment but the schedule was pretty full so I just decided to glue my nail back on with some nail glue. I was reluctant to go again for my fill but I didn't feel finding a new place as this salon is 2 mins from my apartment. Two and a half weeks later I needed a fill so I was sure to call and make an appointment a couple days in advance. Just had my appointment with Yen tonight and my nails are incredible! I told her my concerns about how my nails looked last time I was in and she was super sure to make both hands even and the nails uniform shape/width! Also super thrilled with their pricing, very reasonable! Back home I would pay $55 for an acrylic fill with gel polish and this salon is about $20 cheaper!! I will definitely continue to visit this salon! Tips to new clients: Make an appointment a couple days in advance, it's just two ladies running this business so be kind! Also, be very explicit with how your nails are looking! If you don't like them before you go home, have them fix the problem before you leave!

See all

Julie killed it as ALWAYS!!! I love coming here! I have been getting my nails done since February…read moreas a new job has allowed me to have nails again. I am always apprehensive of new nail salons as I'm fairly new to the area still and have only been to two other salons in the few years I've been here. However, Luxe Nails Lounge has surpassed and exceeded my expectations with the last three visits. Julie is my new favorite artist. She listens, explains why she can or can't do things and is very transparent, and loves to try new things and gets excited with every idea. I will be coming back for her and the staffs overall warm and welcoming attitudes. Very accommodating with drinks and they even helped get my bangs out of my face when Julie was doing my nails lol. Love this salon, I'd give it 100/10 if I could!

They always offer me water when I sit down (which I love), and they take their time with nail prep so everything comes out clean and lasts. I never feel rushed and always leave so happy with my nails. Toby recently did accent nails for me with hand-drawn initials and it came out incredible! He's seriously talented when it comes to detailed designs. Their prices are also really reasonable for the quality you get. I'm honestly so grateful I found this place and highly recommend :)

A great pedicure! I made an appointment, and did wait a bit to be served (about 15 minutes) but…read morehonestly I've rarely been to a salon that actually honored appointment times. I got the sea spa pedicure, which included a massage and a few masks. The pedicure was thorough and I appreciated how sanitary everything was, alcohol spritzed after every step and sealed tools. I've had pedicures be rough or unpleasant before but this was great, will definitely be back.

So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon!…read moreThese services are expensive!! I had a bad experience last week at Vdara. I asked for short dip powder nails and she tried to give me a gel X fill instead without telling me. However, I have been getting my nails done often for years, so I noticed what she was doing and I reminded her I wanted to switch to dip powder this time. She said no, we'll do gel X fill it will be better. (She means faster and easier for her instead of doing a new set.) I said no, I want dip powder. Finally I convinced her to do what I wanted. As we proceeded to do my nails, I kept asking her to file them shorter and kept noticing that they were crooked. She would try to move onto the next step and I would ask her if she was done filing noticing that they were all crooked and uneven lengths and shapes, so I would tell her, she would try to fix them, but she just could not. They kept coming out crooked and different lengths. Meanwhile, during the whole service, the phone keeps ringing and she keeps going to the front to pick it up, her cell phone keeps ringing and she keeps picking it up, people keep leaving to check out, and she kept leaving in the middle of my service to go check them out. This happened around ten times. Made my service nearly 2 and a half hours for these nails. I go to pay, and when it comes time to tip, she reaches her neck over-the-counter to make sure that I press something so I felt pressured to leave her a tip that I did not want to give because it did not seem like she cared about my service at all. (I'm a server. I ALWAYS TIP. And this time I did not want to. That says a lot). I get in the car to take a final look at my nails and see that they're all crooked and choppy/flaky and that there's a black mark on my WHITE nail on my pinky. I honestly just started tearing up, I know it seems silly but $80 for these simple little nails and a terrible experience right after work, almost taking three hours? I wish I never came here and just waited a day to go to my usual salon! Nevertheless, I went home and filed them all myself, which removes the sealing of topcoat, so now I will have to go spend more money on new nails sooner than usual because these will not last long. Waste of money unfortunately...

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this nail salon for gel tip finger nails. They are good for toes,…read morein my experience as I had them done in the last few weeks and thought I'd give them a second chance on nails after years of a bad experience I never posted about. This is my second time in years getting my nails done here, and I only tried again bc I thought maybe they would have improved in years gone by. I had my nails done two days ago with gel and tips done long. The first attempt by one woman was terrible. The owner then said she'd fix it. At first when done I thought it looked fine but as I left I realized they were just as bad. It's very difficult to build a round natural nail shape in the middle with gel. My nails look flat and warped and not even. Maybe they are better with acrylic but I'm extremely dissatisfied with my gel nails. They're basically wasted money. So unfortunate. I don't have it on me to call and ask for my money back. They also already look like I need a fill. I shortened them more so they'd look a little better but I'm embarassed. I dont get my nails done often but needed to for work and now have to get them redone somewhere. SMH. Maybe the photos don't reflect but they look worse in person.
