    This is after a week !
    Gaby W.

    LEE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AT WHAT SHE DOES ! I am so glad I have this spot a try ! Honest great quality work and they aren't trying to rip you off. She made her professional suggestion for my nails to do dip since I work with my hands and are washing them constantly. And I can honestly say these are my favorite nails , they just feel so great . Not thick , not too thin . I know these could last over 5 weeks for sure !!! So so happy with Lee and this nail salon! Gabruell

    Best nail salon ever I've been getting my nails done for 30 years and by far they are killing it!!!
    Donna P.

    Quality and very friendly I've been coming here for 6 years! Henry is the ultimate always fast and I never ever have to wait!!!

    I've been going to this place for 7 years. I've always been afraid of getting cut or getting fungus from nail shop. However, this place is always clean and I have never been cut. Always went to Henry or Mimi for nails. The pedicure has been done by other people. And this place I don't have to worry about that. Thanks Henry!

    Loved my nails! Always in and out and the nails can last a month if needed! My go to spot

    My go to nail spot! Love how fast they are and good the nails look. They can last a month if needed!

    Messy work
    Rosa N.

    I used to come here years ago and always had great service and experience however my last two visits I feel like the work has not been as clean as it used to be to. It's over priced and messy work it's so disappointing because staff is always very kind but $100-150 for nails plus pedi and for the work to be messy.. yeah I won't be back unfortunately/: thankfully from a distance it don't look too bad but of course when I look up close it's just messy work that is not worth $60 for a fill and gel. The last set was a French tip and yes they charge extra for French meanwhile the lining was terrible. Not sure what happened to the old workers but these new ones are inexperienced and very slow.

    They use a good amount for lotion and exfoliating

    Friendly quick service. Walked in two pedicures less than than 10 minutes we were seated and offered drinks. They have different type of pedicure packages, I got the lavender (with gel) and my friend did orange (one up from Basic). It was quiet and relaxing environment with comfortable chairs that give you massage; I almost fell asleep during my massage portion. I can see the place being crowded during a busy time, parking can get busy but there's enough around the building.

    Old polish/top coat

    Found this salon about a year ago and loved it, but my last few visits have not been as spectacular as the first few. The quality of the services have declined a lot. This is my pedicure after 1 week, I even went back once because the polish was tacky and warped. The polish seems old and thick. I ended up just taking the polish off and painting them myself. My gel manicure is also lifting after a week. Disappointing, I really wanted to keep coming here as it's convenient, well priced, staff is pleasant and they're great at quick appointments.

    Natural gel-manicure with french tip

    I love this place! I've had my nails done here DOZENS of times. Every nail tech here is wonderful. There is not a single woman I would not vouch for! Henry, the owner, greets you at the door and they are quick to get you seated. Appointments recommended but I've never had an issue with walk-ins. This place is right next to in-and-out for reference :) Very reasonable prices, be sure to tip your nail techs!

    Nails French tip, gel, chrome

    Very great service! Loved atmosphere very friendly and clean! Nails came out perfect. I got a mani pedi and was done in 1 hour

    Nails w flower

    Super amazing, friendly, and helpful. I always leave absolutely loving my nails! Highly recommend making this your go to nail salon in San Diego!

    Angelly V.

    It was good that lady was super nice and gentle. She was also Vietnamese and so am I and we had a talk together. It was very chill and calming but there was Vietnamese music playing in the background so if u were ever to come into the nail shop u will know it a Vietnamese shop immediately! But sadly I have left my bracelet there

    I came in last minute for a gel pedi for the first time at this location. It had been months since my last pedi, so I knew whoever was going to do mine, had a tough job coming their way. I had Nikki, and she was absolutely amazing. She spent over an hour (almost 1.5 hours), scrubbing, exfoliating, rubbing and painting my toes. And they are absolutely stunning! I am so pleased with this place and I know you will be too! I will definitely be back!

    Same day.  Hours later.  Contact dermatitis & irritation from overfilling .

    Worst experience in a nail salon I've had in ages. I called to make an appt for an acrylic overlay with design And a gel pedicure. Long story short , neither of the ladies who serviced me knew what they were doing. My acrylic overlay was super thick . I had acrylic all on my cuticles . I had to stop my original nail tech from continuing because the acrylic started to burn me. She then calls over another nail tech to fix it. And she does what she can but it's still not good. The lady doing my pedicure barely did anything that's included in the pedicure package. I had to opt out on the gel polish because after seeing the first application she did , it looked like a toddler did it , I knew I didn't want to pay $15 extra for a bad GEL pedicure when the pedicure itself was mediocre. I paid almost $100 for a mediocre pedicure with no polish. And nails that look like bad dentures.

    Lee on the French acrylic!

    I have tried this place a few times now, and I just can't go back after this last time. This is a…read moreplace to go to get the most basic nails and that's it. They don't do 3D art, they've told me they literally can't do anything other than gel polish. This last time they told me they won't do art unless it's gel, and that will cost you like 30$ more on top of the 29$ for a basic manicure. My 65$ pedicure was 94$ after I added gel chrome polish. Like if you don't want to do regular polish- say GEL ONLY- so we all know! The older woman who did ny pedicure was great and all but the language barrier was brutal and she literally spent 10 mins talking to someone else to get clarification on how to do chrome nails! Like how is this place even in business if you get stuck at chrome nails. I asked for dark red as my base color but she wouldn't do it, and just used black. It's so frustrating when you are excited to treat yourself and they claim to do all this stuff just to waste your time finding out they don't. AND they take soooooo long. They also seem very ANTI-BLACK. I'm mixed and one of the girls literally never did my manicure and left when I asked if I could just do regular manicure and not gel. And then when 2 non-black women came in, they immediately did theirs, and when I asked again they acted like it was the first time I even brought it up! Another time a woman (the last time I came in) asked me to pay upfront before my nails would be done, "becuase that's their policy" while the woman next to me paid AFTER her nails were done! Like do you think I'm dumb? Come on. I'm never coming back. Just a waste of time, if you want the nails you ACTUALLY want. Don't waste your money.

    This review is for my boy Ken!!!! Hes really the best tech I love him so much. Everything he does…read moremy nails he gets it soooo on point. I am allergic to gel unfortunately so I dont get to do many fun designs, but Ken is the one tech I've found that can do more than just one color using dip powder: hes done French tip and ombre using dip and always does a fantastic job. If he feels that the nails arent long enough or design feels funky depending on my length of nails, he will always let me know and give me options. I really appreciate that. My nails always last - usually well over a month even with dip. Most nail techs here are great but I did get one person who started putting gel on my toes once despite me reminding them I couldn't get gel. I always stick with Ken and its been smooth sailing ever since. I also had my nails grow soooo long with him and using just dip powder. Highly recommend The salon is refurbished so the place is even nicer than before ! My go to techs would be any of the guys especially Ken, Lucas, Tom and the other gentleman with glasses (I never got his service but he always knows what he's doing).

I got a classic mani/pedi (with gentle removal of gel nail polish to preserve my natural nails) and was there for about an hour. My nails and cuticles still look great a week later and my classic pedi is still holding strong! Parking in this area can be a bit of a challenge but that's really the only downside. I'll definitely be returning and look forward to getting to know the staff more... I'll just ride the bus down 5th to get there to avoid parking issues next time lol
