    Platform for your pedicure
    Mia D.

    I can't decide how I feel about this nail salon. Weird, I know. It is a very small shop and by appointment only. When I called they were able to schedule us for the next morning, which worked for our schedule. When we got there the male tech was going to take my husband and I would have the female tech. The woman in charge switched them on us right before they started and gave me the male tech that apparently is not good with doing polish...? Odd. You sit on a raised platform which puts your feet right in their faces, great for the techs to see what they were doing without having to bend over much. Unfortunately, the chairs were uncomfortable. You put your feet in a sink with a piece of wood on top that moved, which doesn't allow you put weight on it, so you can't fully relax. Both techs were gentle. Mine was super gentle and felt like this was his first week of doing nails. My husband said his tech was meticulous. My tech was super nice but I don't feel like he did much in the way of cuticle work. The massages were short but really nice. My tech made sure to massage all the muscles in my feet. He started to paint my toes and you could tell he was uncomfortable doing it, so when the woman doing my husbands pedicure was done she took over for him. Unfortunately, I'm not sure the price was worth the service. Two pedicures with tip was $95.

    Dani has been my go to for years, I love that every set we do is slightly weird and she knocks it out of the park every time. She's the sweetest, most down to earth person, so our appointments are fun too. I look forward to our time together. Highly recommend. Quality is immaculate. Here are just a few of my fav sets from 2025

    I was in need to get my nails done. Unfortunately my usual nail place was closed. I saw this new establishment while I was driving around in the area and decided to call and see if there was any availability. I lucked out. Billy and Sing Sing took care of me. They were kind, personable and professional. Upon entering the decor ( lots of precious plants) and ambiance made me feel welcome. I loved how I actually felt pampered and cared for as they took their time with both my manicure and pedicure. I may have found a new nail place!! Thank you!!

    I previously went to Sing when she was still in La Mesa. I'm so happy she has her own salon now! It's been awhile since I've gotten my nails done since I've been in school and I'm happy to have Sing do them. I got a gel mani with French tips and gel pedicure. As always she is wonderful and meticulous with her work. She never disappoints!

    Some of my favorite nail designs Dani has done.

    So grateful for Dani and her amazing talent! Over the past four years, it's been fun watching her skills grow and be recognized for them. She's helped me step out of my comfort zone with creative designs, and I'm so excited to see her thrive at Zen Zen Nail Lounge. It's been an amazing nail journey with her, and I couldn't be happier with her talent and outstanding service! Can't wait for the incredible nail art we'll create together!

    Such amazing service!! The male nail-tech, Billy, did a great job on my nails! He listened to my needs and adjusted as needed. His attention to detail was very apparent and be took his time with each nail! I will definitely be going to him to get my nails filled again! This is the cutest salon!! The decorations and cleanliness of the space are top-notch! My favorite nail salon in San Diego!

    Sing Sing has been my nail BFF for over 7 years. I have followed her all over San Diego and love her work. Her attention to detail is out of this world and she works diligently to create a set of nails that I always love. She's incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and just dope to talk to. I need someone who can be a badass nail artist and someone I can hang out with. Sing always goes above and beyond all my expectations.

    What a nice surprise to be out of town and find such a wonderful nail salon! I unexpectedly came into town to help my dad with a house fire. My poor toes/feet were exposed to all sorts of things since I only had sandals to wear as I had to work with insurance adjusters and clean-up crews. My toes were an absolute mess, and I couldn't take it another day. I did a pedicure and really appreciated the quality of service and the attention to detail. I was able to get a same-day appointment, and the salon was well-decorated with a relaxed atmosphere. See you next time I'm here!

    I took my daughter to get her nails professionally done for the first time, and she loved it. My wife was worried, saying she might thinks it hurt, but she didn't complain once and said it didn't hurt at all. These nails made her so happy to go back to school.

    Mother daughter pedicure, they gave us complimentary water. He took his time and was so patient and kind to her.

    They normal do appointments only. I called as a long shot hoping for something same day. I Spoke to Sing(the owner at 10 when they opened) and to my surprise she checked the schedule and called me right back to have a nail tech come in sooner and was able to see us at 10:45. Everyone was so nice and sweet. I LOVED the vibe and it felt welcoming and relaxing. I thought it was so cool how the pedicure seats sit higher up so the nail techs aren't bending over and hurting their backs. Great design!! They took the best care with my daughter and were so patient and gentle. I can't wait to go back. And I will definitely refer my friends. Also they take card, Apple Pay or Venmo so it's so easy to pay. Thank you all for helping create a great mother daughter morning!

    Wasabae green. The polishes have the cutest nail puns!

    Highly recommend this nail lounge! The shop is super clean, has friendly nail techs, plays great music & gives me paradise vibes! So many different polish colors to choose from. Note - appointments are required. Sing Sing gave my daughter her first mani & made it a memorable experience for our first mommy & daughter mani date. She was so patient with her. (She was also able to convince my daughter to pick another color - I was not a fan of the neon green she originally chose lmao). My daughter has been begging to go back so we booked another appt! I also got my first gel mani done by Billy and although he is new at this, he did AMAZING. He really took my breath away. He pays close attention to details and cleaned up my cuticles nicely! It's been 2 weeks since I've had my nails done and they still look amazing! (Pics of the before and after below).

    I absolutely love coming here to get my nails done, and I especially recommend Tomy! He always does…read moresuch an amazing job on my nails. My sister and I used to go to a nail salon in Lakeside, and unfortunately, we were constantly getting nicked during our full sets. It got to the point where I would be really tense and nervous anytime I got my nails done. After finding Tomy, I finally realized what getting a good set of acrylics is actually supposed to be like -- no trauma, no getting nicked, and a genuinely relaxing experience! Over the years, I've tried different nail designs, but these days I'm definitely a simple-girly and usually just get an ombré. Tomy always makes them look beautiful and exactly how I want them. If you're looking to get a full set or manicure, ask for Tomy! You won't regret it. As for pedicures, I've had almost everyone here and they have all been very nice and done a good job. Overall, this is my go to spot always!

    Well never going again here! Unfortunately my aunt was so…read moreexcited to show me this place and I was excited too! But after being in the chair for 2 hours and etc mind you my aunt was done with her pedi and nail set! My nails were bad!!! The French tip she was doing was really uneven can't even understand how she didn't notice. She tried this new thing on me instead of using powder ONCE AGAIN I WAS EXCITED TO TRY THIS NEW PRODUCT and left me a bubble that she couldn't fix. My nail was crooked/uneven! ridiculous! This set was 85! Which I expected a really good damn Job but no. They removed the French tip and I ended paying 65.

    The staff here are simply amazing! Cindy runs the joint and leads the way in keeping everything…read morerunning smoothly. Most of the staff are family and they treat their clients the same. I have been coming to this salon for 26 years and yes, they get busy but they also do their best to accommodate your schedule...when you make an appointment you MAY have to wait a few minutes to be seen but it's worth it! Remember that the staff is not the reason for running behind but late customers that they try to accommodate. Recommend 10 out of 10!!

    Walked in without an appointment needing a gel mani and asked about the wait time. I was told "a…read morefew minutes," which I usually figure is around 10 to 15. I totally understand that scheduled clients come first, and I didn't mind waiting since I didn't have an appointment. I do mind the miscalculation of time. ​At least three people with appointments walked in while I waited. The manager mentioned needing to start them, and asked for another 10 minutes. Every time she acknowledged me after that, she just added more time to the clock, said "thank you for waiting," and kept me sitting. I ended up waiting 54 minutes before finally getting into a chair. I really wish nail salons would just be upfront and say, "We can't take you right now," or give you a realistic time to come back. ​Once I was seated, the process didn't get much better. To remove my old gel, they insisted on soaking my hands directly in a bowl of acetone. When I asked about using cotton and foil instead, I was told this was faster. After 15 minutes in cold acetone, I just pulled my hands out. It felt like a tactic to stall while waiting for an available tech. ​During the service, there was too much filing, and I had to speak up because it was actually hurting my nail beds. The cure light burned, too. ​The space itself is comfortable enough, but it's not a luxury salon compared to other places I've been. They do have a really nice selection of colors and display nails to view. My color turned out pretty initially, but my gel manicure didn't even last a full week before peeling, and my nails ended up breaking down super short. ​It is a fairly inexpensive salon for anyone wanting budget friendly. I assume the appointments were returning customers based on the welcome in reactions. The effective communication and quality just weren't there for me so I won't be back.
