Since Sunday was my last day in San Diego before returning back to UCI, my sister and I decided to get our nails done! This place is right next to Yogurt Express (and you know we got yogurt right after) and the prices were so affordable. My sister got an organic pedicure ($25) and an organic spa manicure ($15). I only got an organic spa manicure (don't look too close at my cuticles because I asked them not to cut it since they protect your nails). I'm regretting not getting a pedicure because my sister said the foot massage with hot rocks felt amazing. There were so many colors which made me feel overwhelmed but they helped me find a perfect color. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in town because it was a really relaxing experience! Also, I saw an old review that said they only take cash and appointments but I asked the owner and she said they take credit and walk-ins now! read more

I love this place. It's such a cute little nail salon with cute decor. The service is always so wonderful. Vicki and her staff is very welcoming and will do all they can to get you to feel to whole spa like experience while getting your nails did! I love her massage chairs too! Nail color selection is very wide! I always have such a hard time picking my color because she has so many great choices and nail products! I would highly recommend! Make sure to call first to make your appointment with Vicki! read more

I was grabbing froyo next door and decided to walk into this salon after spontaneously deciding that I needed a treat day. Now I'm a broke grad student, so this was my first pedicure since moving to San Diego and I gotta say--I received the best service and care here compared to all other nail salons I've been to in my entire life. I came in with fragile feet (I had blisters from training & dancing in front of the mirror behind closed doors lol), and Quyen was mindful and meticulous about taking care of me while still making my feet look pretty! To top it all off, she gave me an amazing hot stone massage on my legs. I also had a blast chatting with both her and the owner. This was the best spontaneous decision I've ever made. I will most definitely be coming back! read more

I went to see Vicki for the first time. I used to live in north county and have tried several nail salons trying to find someone that does as good of a job as my old nail salon. Let me just say, she took her time to make my nails perfect and conversing with her was so fun! She has such a fun personality and also does an amazing job. I'm so glad I came here and found a salon that does such a good job and made getting my nails done a fun experience!!! Thanks Vicki!!! read more

Really needed a pedicure so i decided to stop by because i always go to the yogurt place right next door, i'm so happy i came here! First off the owner is super nice and friendly, i walked in and they took me right away, the lady doing my nails was super nice, i also love how they massage your legs and feet with warm rocks! that was something different and i loved it! Took about 30 min but it was a great experience and only for $20!!! will be coming back! read more

I've been going to Vicky since I was a teenager, about 18 years, and she never disappoints! I will ONLY come here for my pedicures. I love how attentive she is to my cuticles and dry skin around the nails and toes, she takes her time and I genuinely appreciate that! Nothing about coming here is rushed like other salons and you will be treated like family. Quinn, her new parter is just as great! Ive gotten a few pedicures from her and she gives just as great of a pedicure as Vicky. No matter who you see you will be satisfied! Btw, they just got a TON of new gel polish! They definitely have the largest selection of color choices I've ever seen in any salon. read more

It was quite a different experience than what I thought I was going to have. The people here are very friendly and nice. And the atmosphere is comfortable. But I will not come here again, they hacked up my cuticles and made me bleed. Both my manicure and pedicure. And she also poured alcohol on the cuts. None the less, I wanted to get out of there as fast as I could as well. I'm also use to people talking to me and to ensure my trust in them while they do the service. I didn't get any of that here. read more

Viki is such a nice lady, and does Fantastic nails for an amazing price. I 100% recommended this place!

A couple weeks ago, I took my daughter to SDSU. While waiting for her final exam to end, I went to Vicki nail at my friend's recommendation. As a spur of the moment decision, I was delighted that they welcomed walk-ins without appointments. I'm so happy I came here, the shop is very clean, the owner and her partner are very nice. Quyên, the partner, was very diligent and professional, while also friendly, when she did my nails. This place also accepts credit cards, and I found this to be most convienient. I left the shop very satisfied with my nails and will most definately return. read more

Just had one of the best pedicures ive ever had for $20 bucks, clean, relaxing,professional, nicely staged and friendly

I had a great experience @ Vicki's Nails & Spa. The spa pedicure was wonderful. Vicki took her time & did a thorough grooming of my toes. Very clean venue, reasonably priced. read more

Got a pedicure. Amy gave me a superb massage. I am on my feet all day long. Felt very relaxed. She took her time to do an excellent job. This is my first time here. I will be back I am back exactly one month later. I had an appointment at 12 they told me she was running late which was ok, it happens but it ended up 50 minutes late. I am giving it one more chance. Next time I will ask to call me if they are running late. read more

Hands down best nail experience I have had in San Diego (I'm a pretty picky nail person). I was welcomed the moment I walked in the door and tended to quickly. The vibe in the salon was awesome - very small and comfortable and the ladies new all the clients by name. Vicki did my nails just as I had requested - natural looking acrylics - and checked with me multiple times to be sure they were coming out as I wanted. She was very friendly, NEVER pressured me to upgrade to any additional services or pedicure, and spoke perfectly clear English. The other ladies, as well, were all speaking English and VERY friendly to the customers and also to me. When it came time to pay, I was AMAZED by how inexpensive the total was! I left VIcki's salon with beautiful nails and knowing that every time I go back, they will know me by name and treat me like a friend. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

By far the best place I have ever had my nails done. I'm not a regular but I get my nails done before special occasions. Every time I go in they treat me like I come every week. They know my name and are always very friendly and courteous. My nails are always perfect and the massaging pedicure is awesome. Never rushed like most places I used to go. Price is a great value for the quality of the service. Highly recommend this place! read more

I recently had a pedicure from Quinn and she did a fantastic job. She took her time and didn't rush through trimming my nails or the massage! I absolutely hate when my pedicure feels rushed but this one was so relaxing and enjoyable. The pedicure also came with a hot stone massage which was amazing. The owner Vicki is such a wonderful woman who makes you feel so welcome. 10/10 recommend! read more

I have been going there for about four years for pedicures. 2 weeks ago I asked to have gel nails done. My tips were glued on crooked and instead of going with the natural shape of my nails (my nails slope down) these were sloped upwards! The man did not shape them after cutting them down to the appropriate size I asked. Also the guy cut almost all my cuticles and half of my fingers were bleeding badly! When I complained at how badly they looked Vicki apologized and said she would fix them if I would wait. I did. This is when I found out I had not gotten gels that I thought I got. I had acrylics! I was so pissed! I asked to have them removed and Vicki broke out the electric file and proceeded to file away all the acrylic. I was not expecting to have everything filed off. I was expecting to have them soaked off in acetone. Needless to say my fingers were sore for the next week. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I write this review with a heavy heart because I had two really good experiences here. HOWEVER, today was a nightmare. I was having a manicure and pedicure. The woman doing my manicure had no idea what she was doing...none what so ever. She clipped some of my nails handed me my hand and asked what I thought. I almost started to cry. They were uneven and shorter than I ever have them. Because she spoke zero English I was not able to tell her what was wrong. The woman who was doing my pedicure saw my face and took over, but then gave me back to the incompetent woman. While she was working my cuticles she actually hurt me and caused bleeding, then poured ALCOHOL on it. That was it, I was having a bad day. I did not let her finish with nail polish and just wanted to get the hell out of there. BEWARE..they used to be really good, but not anymore. I seriously question whether she was even licensed. read more

The woman here were so sweet! My nails were done beautifully both pedicure and full gel set look amazing. This is definitely not the largest or most luxurious shop I've been to but the quality cleanliness and overall comfort of the place makes it well worth it! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I've been going to Vicky's for the past 3 years, loved the place and recommended it to all of my friends, however, lately I started getting disappointed in how long i had to wait. 2 months ago i made an appointment for a pedicure and a fill for 3 o'clock. Got there at 2:50 and was asked to come back at 3:45, because it was "too busy". Luckily, I live close by, so I didn't think much of it and came back at 3:40. Ended up waiting for an hour, then they did my pedicure, then I was asked to wait another hour and a half until they could start my fill. That day I ended up being in the salon for 4 hours 20 minutes. So next time I went to a different place. However, after, I felt bad, since I've been going to Vicky's for years and decided to give her another chance. Made an appointment for 3:15 and specified that I want Vicky to do my nails. Ended up waiting until 4:30 and throughout my wait time, Vicky tried to say that she was too busy and maybe i'm better off coming another day. I reminded her that I had an appointment and proceeded to wait. (I only needed 2 nails fixed - 15 minute procedure). She ended up having another lady do my nails, since Vicky didn't have time for me. The other lady had no idea what she was doing. She piled the acrylic on top of my nails in lumps without spreading it, she knew she messed up, but instead of taking it off and redoing it, she kept piling it up. When I had what felt and looked like a pound of acrylic on my nail, I stopped her and went to Vicky to show her the horrible job her associate did, Vicky said it looked fine. The lady tried to file it off, but it was way too much. The two nails that I got fixed look like crap and completely don't match the rest of my nails. I regret paying and will never ever go there again. Its said that a person who started off with such a successful business, would compromise quality for quantity and loose customers like that. read more

I made an appointment with Vicki and, every time, I show up she gives me to her help which are terrible at doing nails, even though I schedule with her. Vicki is not that good herself and I have waited up to two hours at times and she has never taken me when planned. Her scheduling is poor as she takes on to many walk-ins. She treats her employees unfairly and takes their money and clients so they can't build a clientele; therefore, even if they are great, they leave. I would not go back there as it is a disappointment in quality of nails, honesty and time management. Trust me. read more

Horrible experience I had women is really rude spoke little english and pulled my foot the way she wanted roughly and then said relax really rudely and had a horrible attitude. Did not like them. Vickie is nice but, the other one is rude as heck. Never go back they do not accept credit cards either. Bad customer service. read more

The owner is SO sweet and accommodating. They always do a fantastic job on my pedicures, plus the leg massages are nice! Sometimes there is a bit of a wait because it gets filled up, but I have never had a wait if I have a scheduled appointment. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Very unpleasant experience. Showed up for my appointment. Vicky had no clients and the other lady was working on someone. Vicky told me the other lady would be done in a minute. That turned into 15-20.With no apparent sign of being ready soon, I started to leave. At that point Vicky got up ,started the foot spa and invited me to step in. Once there, she wandered off. FINALLLLY when the other lady was available, it appeared she did not know what she was doing because she gouged my toe with a sharp instrument and clipped my skin with the clippers....Painful. The manicure was gloppy. There were no other clients in the salon, yet Vicky was not doing anything. I would have very much appreciated one person doing the manicure while the other did the pedicure to compensate for the time spent waiting for my appointment.Vicky instead chose to coo and hold hands over her manicure table with what appeared to be her boyfriend, who just came in..After he left a woman came in asking to get one nail repaired. Vicky refused claiming she had previously been a no-show. The woman got upset and vehemently denied that had ever happened. The two argued for a few minutes before the woman left in a huff. That was unpleasant to witness, say the least. I won't be going back because the service, the workmanship and the atmosphere was not good. read more

Love Vicky. Great shop, sometimes a wait, but have never had an issue with the service or outcome. Always a friendly attitude, I just wish more of her employees spoke English. read more
