My mom, aunt and I stumbled in on a whim and had the best time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were so nice and welcoming right away and the little extras like the snacks and drinks just made it that much better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Blossom package with the organic sea salt scrub, detoxifying mask and antioxidant lotion massage and my feet are SO soft!! Annie was amazing. She could tell I wasn't feeling my color choice and picked something out that was way more flattering for my skin tone. Her massage and callus removal were seriously so good, I could've fallen asleep if I wasn't watching the World Cup! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tina and her team really care about the experience here and it shows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will 100% be back! read more

Amazing service always ! My nails are always so beautifully done ! Inside the nail salon, it's always clean and full of snacks you can munch on while getting your nails done ! Definitely recommend!:) read more

I came in the other day for a pedicure with my sister and niece, and honestly... my pedicure was over before theirs even really got started. My feet were barely soaking for maybe three minutes, and the water was almost overflowing because my tech wasn't paying attention. There was no cuticle work done, and the callus removal felt more like a quick cameo than an actual service. For the price, I definitely left feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was kind and the salon itself is super clean, which I appreciate[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but I really miss the old management and the level of service they provided. It's such a bummer because this place is so close to home and used to be my go-to, but sadly I won't be coming back. read more

First time coming, they were quick to respond & were able to get me in same day! Great service!

Brought my sister in for belated birthday pedicures and Blinails came through as always. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I messaged in the morning and got a quick response to come in that same hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quick, friendly, and just what we were looking for on our Saturday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love this local San Marcos gem so much! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Always a great experience here! Kim is amazing and so talented!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is always so professional, sweet, and accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As someone who types a lot for work, it's hard to have long nails, and there was no pressure from Kim to make them longer than I felt comfortable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She also remembered my preferred nail length![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kim helped me with picking out a design, since I was so indecisive today. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent customer service and are very responsive![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dylan and Tina are the best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are my favorite place in San Marcos! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I booked an appointment for a same day pedicure on Mother's Day and was very grateful to be accommodated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, this was one of the most half a** pedicures I've ever received. I selected the most basic classic pedicure which was fine with the exception of callus removal. I walk around barefoot a lot so my big toes needed some help and my technician didn't even address that area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't speak up because I felt I shouldn't have to and simply decided I wouldn't come back here again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Literally paid $35 for someone to ONLY remove my nail polish and paint them again half assed. Water was ice cold, towel was scorching. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Been here a handful of times and this was the last time I will go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sad, because it's so close to work. I guess I should have known when I saw the "under new management" sign. The snacks and beverages will never make up for subpar service read more

Blinails is under new management and it's so great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been 4 times now and it's great every time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's quiet and calm inside and they always do a fantastic job. read more

Horrible products didn't last two weeks and started chipping of on the sides. Prices are confusing and adds on are out of control. They charged me for buildup gel even though I didn't ask for it! Total price was $50 for something like this and didn't even last two weeks. Pedicure was VERY VERY BAD as well! No massage and didn't remove callus. Absolute worst salon I've ever been to! read more

I am on the hunt for a new nail place and found Blinails on here and they had a lot of great reviews. They were extremely responsive. Got an appt same day 90 min later. WIN WIN! Kim and Mindy did my nails and were very sweet. They did a nice job. I upgraded my pedi and it was worth it. I wish it was a tad more spa like in there. I was set next to a closet that was opened so my view was of the waterheater an a man sitting in the closet. Also during my pedi one of the workers used my pedi tube to fill up a mop bucket. I know these are small things but it changed the vibe a bit. UPDATED -Thank you for the feedback Tracy. I had planned to try again and I will. =) read more

Blinails & Spa - Had an acrylic fill and Pedi! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

Had a really nice first experience here! My husband bought me a gift card for Mother's Day. I'm leaving the country in a couple days for a wedding and they were able to get me a same day apt for a gel pedi & gel X mani. It was pretty busy when I went in but they still made sure I wasn't waiting too long at all. Kim did my nails, I showed her an inspo picture that matched the dress I'm wearing and she knocked it out of the park! They're beautiful and she took her time on the design. The pedi was good too. Thank you again! read more

Blinails & Spa - Sloppy work. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I called Blinials for a nail acrylic removal and they told me I can come in as soon as I can.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tina was very welcoming and helped me with this service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I then proceeded to get a manicure and pedicure with callus removal with another nail lady. During the callus removal, a nail lady was filing my feel but ended doing the back of my feet causing a hot spot. The lady did not notice until I pointed it out. Additionally the nail polish on my feet was not good. You can see how uneven the polish was. The experience was great at first but the quality of work was not good. read more

Just got a gel manicure with Jade and I'm obsessed! She was so meticulous with the prep and the application is flawlessly smooth. My nails look incredible and feel super strong. If you're looking for a perfect mani, definitely book with Jade! Beautiful salon that's just been freshly renovated. Highly recommend! read more

I have been here many times, but they recently remodeled, so everything felt extra clean and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone here is so kind, welcoming, and friendly.. and they take their time to make sure you're happy with the results.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

This place is 1 minute from my house and what a shame! Their 5 star reviews are a lie. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The receptionist is very pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After that it's all downhill. My gel manicure chipped the next morning. They applied the wrong colors from what I selected. The guy didn't scrub my heels and massage even though part of the service. When I got to the front desk to pay, the pleasant receptionist put on her other face and slapped me with $100+ bill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Said "I'm actually doing you a favor".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What now? Not sure what the duck I just experienced. Avoid at any cost. Unlike me. read more

Bloody hell! That was the roughest most brutal manicure I have ever experienced. I left bleeding with the skin around my nails filed off. The young man that did the manicure was so rough. It was like he was taking out a decade of aggression on a nail file and my fingers. I had to stop him multiple times to let him know he was hurting me. During the massage, he was pinching my skin so hard I felt like it was intentional; squeezing In between the muscle of my thumb and my pointer finger to the point where he was shaking. I pulled my hand back and said enough. This felt like a form of torture. The manicure does look good, however, it was a very painful process, leaving me with bloody cuticles and skin. He was rude but I felt compassion for him as he must be an angry young man. I left him a 20% gratuity. He grunted at me when he saw the gratuity, no thank you or comment. And I couldn't write gratuity on my credit card so I had to send it to him through Venmo because that is the Salon policy. Most certainly will never be back - look at how bloody my fingers are! And sending Venmo gratuity after I have already paid with a credit card is not a convenient process. Gratuity should be something that can be added onto the credit card like most businesses we frequent. read more

Blinails & Spa - Gel x full set and gel pedicure. Very satisfied! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, California

I hate that I'm leaving this review because I really wanted to like this place, but I've been here three times and two of those times I had to come back to fix a Gel X nail that popped off within 1-2 weeks. I've been getting Gel X for about 2 years now and the process here seems a bit rushed. I don't think they are allowing the nails to cure long enough. I've never had this issue before. Oh well... I'll continue my search. I can't justify paying $90/set (not including tip) and not get a solid set. read more

Sandy gave me a great pedicure. She was meticulous. The salon had great functioning AC so it was nice and cool even on a hot day. The massage chairs work well and provide a good relaxing massage.

As someone who's been getting their nails done every 2 weeks for 15 years, this was a horrible experience. Beware this salon does not honor the pricing on the wall or lives up to its reviews. After requesting a fill , Sandy left my nails bubbly and uneven, when I asked her to fix it , she did but to my surprise, charged me extra when it came time to pay to fix what she didn't get right in the first place. What a ridiculous business practice to charge the customer for your mistakes. Never coming back and warning all to spend your money elsewhere. read more
