Basic Pedicure with Gel
Jasmine P.

I came in to VDARA Nails at 11:30 a.m. requested a basic pedicure with gel, with my big toe and pinky toe nails ripped off and you can't tell the difference Robert did an excellent job in making sure my toe nails appeared even! I'm looking forward to my next visit

VDARA NAIL LOUNGE @ OCEANSIDE My parents were in town visiting me so had to take my mom out to get her nails done! We were close around the oceanside and found this spot. Parking was available right out front and walks in were available, luckily not too busy on a weekday but there were customers inside. We got a seat at the massage, and we did both a pedicure and manicure, $25 for our manicure, and $35 for pedicure. It was really relaxing, they did a great job cleaning out the dirt and even washed my foot! I decided to get white for both and it turned out great! I really enjoyed how the service was very polite and kind, despite my dad not getting any of their services, they allowed him to sit on the massage chair with us. They offered free drinks as well, and were very polite! Definitely recommend stopping by here!

Loved the service and Robert was GREAT! Definitely will be coming back again! Do recommend.

Always such a great experience when I go and always leave with the nails I want Nails always last a long time for me with no breakage or lifting

Manicure

Today was my first time getting my nails done here. I had a manicure and a simple gel polish. It was such a great experience I'll definitely go again

I am from San Marcos and the usual nail salon I go to was closed today so I thought I would try this one out on my way home from Carlsbad. I decided to go because of their reviews and the reviews did not lie! I wish I got the name of the gentleman who served me because he did fabulous! Took his time to compare each nail and literally made them perfect. I'll definitely be back! I'm very satisfied.

Crooked nails, marks on nails

So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon! These 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...

Moving back to California; I decided to come to Vdara since they took over the old salon I used to attend years ago. Upon walking in, the updates are beautiful, simple and clean. I called ahead of time, but ultimately was a walk-in. I was seated right away, for two services. I did a single color, pedicure #4, which was about $40 (no gel) and French tip acrylic's (new set) which was $65. The two gentlemen that did my services were sweet, detailed and made my time there so relaxing. I will be returning for future appointments.

I called specifically to book a gel manicure with Tara, who is excellent and, in my opinion, the best nail technician there. I was told that Tara did not do gel manicures. However, when I called again on another occasion to try to make a new appointment, I was told that she actually does provide that service. Today, I called again specifically requesting Tara, and once again I was told that she does not do gel manicures and that if I wanted that service, I would need to book with someone else. I completely understand if the nail technician I want is unavailable at the time or on the day I'm requesting. That is not the issue. The problem is receiving conflicting information and feeling like my request for a specific technician is repeatedly being disregarded. This has happened before as well. I once requested a pedicure with Tara and was booked with someone else instead. The receptionist has also been rude, confused appointment times, and then blamed the clients for the confusion. It's extremely frustrating because when you find a nail technician whose work you love, you naturally want to continue booking with that person. Instead of simply being honest about Tara's availability, I have repeatedly been given inconsistent information or booked with someone else. Tara is wonderful and does excellent work. My review is not a reflection of her service at all. Unfortunately, the way appointments are handled at the front desk has made me no longer want to return to this salon

This is the third review I have left for Royal Nails & Spa in Vista. You may wonder why, but over…read morethe years that I've been going there, I never stop getting compliments on my nails. The owner, Tracy, is extremely talented. I have moved on from a French manicure to airbrush nails. I can go five weeks before I need to get my nails done again. Tracy does such a good job. The staff at the salon are very friendly and welcoming and with the music playing in the background, you feel more like you're at a friend's house than a place of business. I have referred friends to Royal Nails & Spa and they have also been very happy. Just go, you won't regret it.

Man I hate to do this but this was the worst retention I've ever had. This was my first time coming…read moreto this salon. The staff were nice but I was so disappointed. I came to this salon because I saw all the beautiful designs and called ahead because I wanted a new set and wanted to make sure there was staff to do them. They said they did - when I arrived and showed them my inspo picture the man looked at it and said "what is that?" I made jokes and didn't think much of it and just decided to get cat eye. He felt bad and offered flower design which I appreciate the gesture. I got gel x but tbh I felt like it was so quick and felt suspicious. But only two days later one nail came off and now only a week later I'm missing 5 I gave them a shot but will not be coming back here. Please at least give my money back

I truly am so saddened, yesterday came in for a pedicure was so excited because I am 6.5m pregnant…read morewith a toddler, this was supposed to be such a treat, mind you my toenails were in perfect condition just neglected/grown out * Johnnie did my pedicure and cut my big toenail SO poorly down the side at a 45 degree angle (someone who has a history of ingrown toenails worst nightmare) it's been 24 hours now and it is still bloody/swollen/red every time I move my toe let along walk it is painful. Being 6.5m pregnant with a toddler this is the LAST thing I needed I am devastated and will likely have to make an appointment with a podiatrist because it is so bad and painful. Be VERY weary of Johnny doing your pedicures. * I do appreciate that Chloe reimbursed me, but the medical bills/pain/emotional distress - god I wish so badly I never would've gone yesterday UGH.
