Vivian is my new nail tech, and she truly never ceases to amaze me! I can literally show her a Pinterest photo of what I want, and she brings it to life beautifully. The last time I came in, I had no idea what I wanted, so I gave her creative freedom--and she absolutely nailed it (pun intended ). I always leave so happy after getting my nails done! Vivian is patient, kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about her craft. She really listens, pays attention to detail, and makes the whole experience enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented nail tech! read more

Bliss Nails & Spa 1 - Best nail tech ever! - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

Was so excited from the reviews but based on the service I got I would never go back. The way she did my soak off left my skin awful, length and shape are not consistent at all. Did not thin the underside of my nails. Even after I had asked several times for some of these things to be fixed it was not improving and by the end I just wanted to leave. Absolutely not worth the price for the service I got read more

I went to another salon and hated my nails. I flew into San Diego for the weekend and needed a new set as soon as possible for an event. I was recommended Bliss from my sister who is a local to La Mesa. I came in around 9:30 on a Friday and waited about 20 minutes. Once seated, I was well taken care of and my artist delivered beyond my expectations. I was so happy with my nails after having such a horrible experience elsewhere a couple days prior. I wish I knew my artists name so I could recommend her. read more

I absolutely love this nail salon. They have so many people working that you get in quickly right away every time. I've never had any service that I'm not pleased with. They are quick and efficient and I love that they take Venmo. They're also friendly and kind and all of their employees seem to be happy. I like that they all have their own nails done so they can advertise the types of nails they offer. Highly recommend!! read more

I went to Bliss because my usual place is closed on Sundays. I tried to go to another place before Bliss that I had a bad experience with before my appointment even started so I left and tried Bliss. They did an excellent job on my nails and were very professional. They also accept credit cards, and you can tip using Venmo, which makes things easier. The salon is really clean, and the massage chairs work well. Parking is easy as well, and I like that they have a verified license. That being said, I did take one star off because it was hard for them to understand me, and me to understand them, and it made the experience a bit more difficult. I hate to penalize for a language issue, but it's also important to be able to communicate how you want yours nails done, and I kind of just went with what was easiest instead of specifying what I wanted because I knew trying to specify what I actually wanted was going to be way too difficult. read more

Really disappointed. Came today to get a pedicure. First of all, parking sucks. If a car didn't leave in front of their shop, I would've not find any parking anywhere even by other businesses around, it's all full. I almost turned around and go somewhere else. 2nd, I was sitting pretty quick but the lady I got she didn't seem happy, she was probably in the middle of her lunch time. When I told her I wanted European pedicure no gel, she didn't look happy. I paid for 10 mins massage but I got 6 mins total. She didn't look like she care what she's doing, she was looking around while trying to massage my feet. It wasn't even a massage, she just rub my feet up and down, both at the same time. She gave me their $30 pedicure package and I paid for $41 package, I was unhappy. Then since you can't tip when you're paying with a card, you'll have to Venmo. I didn't want to tip her coz I was disappointed that I didn't receive the pedicure package completed but she was standing there, waiting for me to hand her something so I end up sending her a Venmo for tip. I don't know if I'll come back here again specially when I don't get the full service I'm paying for. She thought bcoz I'm on my phone the entire that I wasn't paying attention, I actually took a timer to see how long she will be massaging my feet. read more

Bliss Nails & Spa 1 - Paid for 10 mins massage but u received only 6 mins and mediocre pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

I'm usually hesitant to try a new nail salon, but I gave this place a shot because of the many positive Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I got a manicure and pedicure and paid extra for the callus remover and massage. During the pedicure, I was accidentally stabbed with a sharp cuticle tool--my toe is still throbbing. When removing my polish, the technician used a circular tool that actually burned my skin. My manicure also turned out bumpy and uneven, which was disappointing. To top it off, the callus treatment wasn't worth the extra charge--I honestly do a better job at home. Really disappointed overall. read more

Went in for a mani/pedi. Pedi was great (the only reason I gave them 3 stars). During the manicure she cut my cuticle and it was bleeding... a lot. I understand a small nick but this was much bigger. She tried to stop the bleeding by putting nail glue on it. Still kept bleeding. She added the gel polish. She did not file my nails. It was awful. I asked the person who did my pedi if I could borrow a file and I filed them myself. She still charged me full price. I am still trying to peel the nail glue off of my cut. read more

Even though I don't speak the language, it was obvious and very uncomfortable that the women doing my pedicure and another woman working there were fighting and yelling at each other repeatedly throughout my treatment. I asked them to stop several times. It was more stressful than relaxing and I will never go there again. read more

Well I got pedi and nails, I swear I asked for the 1 with callus removal, I just realized didn't get that, it was 25 min total for pedi and no massage or foot scrub, nails are ok, prices kinda high! I tipped but won't be going back there again. No I do hair and studied nails, so I do know read more

$60 for a regular gel manicure seems pretty steep. Cindy or Angel's down the street does just as good of job for about half the price. I haven't been to Bliss in about 6 months but their technicians are usually fast and efficient. Last time I went a gel manicure was $40. A $20 price increase seems excessive for the same quality as salons nearby. read more

Quality is good, service techs are polite. But they overbook all the time. Every time I make an appt, I come in on time & have to wait about 15-30 minutes to get seated. I came in today with appt @3pm & Kevin the tech had a lady in his chair that he had just got started on. He told me to wait 10 minutes but there's no way he was finishing a full set in 10 minutes. That's inconsiderate, my time is valuable. Stop overbooking !! read more

I usually get dip nails, but this time the nail tech strongly encouraged me to try builder gel. I agreed, but unfortunately the results were very disappointing. The nails came out thick, bumpy, and uneven, and one nail even has excess gel built up underneath. There was also no transparency about the price increase. I typically pay around $54 for dip, but today my total was $73. The tech only explained the price after the service and didn't mention that cuticle cutting and dip removal would be additional charges. Had I known this ahead of time, I would not have agreed to the builder gel. Overall, I'm very dissatisfied with both the service and the lack of communication. I definitely don't plan on continuing with this recommendation. read more

Nice people and the salon wasn't super dirty but good lord my nails are a mess. I've never had a dip manicure this bumpy and the way the other lady clipped my toes. What the heck shape is that? I know my toenails have suffered trauma and grow in weird but this is just crazy. Now I'm home wondering how to fix this mess. My nails are just going to have to stay bumpy. Maybe I can glue on a decal to distract from it. ‍ read more

Made a last minute day of appointment for a friend and I and was told that a certain time would be best and we were seen right away when we got there at the given time. My friend and I were seated next to each other in the beginning while she waited for someone to get ready but then she was taken to the back and we didn't get to sit with one another. This is why I gave 4 stars. She was in town from out of state and we did nails to catch up and we didn't get to talk until we sat down in the car later. The worst part was the space next to me was open the whole time. I understand people have their own work stations but if two people come in together, they should make the effort to sit them together. My nail lady was patient with me as I'm very picky and she did a good job. Not the best nails I've ever seen but good enough to get the job done. I got powder! read more

I had scheduled an appointment a week and a half in advance for two pedis and two manis, but when we arrived, they had no record of me or my friend. Tammy was extremely rude to my friend and seemed more focused on upselling than providing good service. My friend simply asked for a regular pedicure with white tips, but Tammy insisted they only do French white tip toes in gel polish, claiming it couldn't be done with regular polish, which made no sense. While cutting her toenails, Tammy cut the big toe too close to the skin, causing redness at the tip and didn't even offer an apology. She was rough and careless throughout. When asked to fix one of the toes, she returned irritated and said, "You keep moving," to which I pointed out that maybe using tissue to separate the toes would help, something basic that she hadn't done, which would have prevented the toes from sticking together and causing the issue in the first place. The whole experience felt unprofessional and dismissive. It appeared Tammy was in a rush to leave because as soon as she was done she left the salon. As for me, I was charged $75 for a full set of gel X nails white tip, which I found to be pricey since they weren't even acrylics. If you can, I recommend you find another salon. read more

Letting the world know that I went to Bliss after nearly a year of doing my pedis myself. Why, you may ask? Because of an accident that happened at another salon during which a sizable chunk of my skin was removed. Scarred (quite literally), I went to Bliss with reservations when a friend proposed some "girl time"there. And...? Faith, restored! Bliss Nails is clean and welcoming. Staff is pleasant and efficient. My friend and I were seated next to each other although they were pretty busy. (We'd called ahead to make an appointment.) Nearly everyone who came in with or without an appointment was seated in five minutes or less. Cold, bottled water was served. My pedi was done quickly and looks great. Cost was about the same as other nail salons I've been to in the past. My friend wanted both a mani and pedi and was able to stay in the chair to get them both done rather than having to move to a table. I noticed that she was asked lots of questions to be sure she got exactly what she wanted. Thank you, Bliss Nails, for taking good care of my feet. I'm now confident I'll go back! read more

Quality has declined tremendously. This use to be my top choice, so sadly I have to go the Quality is not worth $140-170 for gel feet and toes. I don't mind paying but my nails look worse and worse the last six months they don't care. read more

Bliss Nails & Spa 1 - Spa day with Tina and Bliss Nail Spa. - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

I went in for a gel manicure because my job only allows nails that do not chip and are natural. After only a week two nails had chipped so I called to get them fixed and they were nice enough to fix them but I did pay $55 plus tip so it's only fair they fix them for no cost. Then 3 days later I have 2 nails chipped and 1 nail that had been fixed two days prior is chipped as well. Gel isn't supposed to chip and I already went for the initial service plus a fix. Don't get gel manicures here because they will chip and you'll be out your money. The attitude from the nail tech when I came in with an appointment for the fix was also not pleasant. She barely said a word to me, don't work at a business that can't do nails right in the first place, then you wouldn't have employees having to work for free for a 5 minute nail fix. read more

Bliss Nails & Spa 1 - Full set gel X plus design - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

It's been a while since I've gotten a manicure or pedicure, but decided to drop by this place (4/1) before a wedding on the weekend. Wasn't that busy when I arrived, and was seated immediately as a walk-in. Got plain white gel pedicure, nothing special. There was a consistent stream of clients calling/coming in as I was getting my pedicure. The gel on my toes started peeling after two weeks (4/15). Feels like gel used to last a lot longer, but maybe it's been a while since I've gotten a gel pedicure and things have changed. Or was it because I had been hiking a little more frequently and that caused the gel to not last as long? Either way, this is an OK place. If you're in the area and needing a last minute pedi, and not worried about the longevity of your (gel) pedi, this might be the place to come to. For reference, my gel pedi cost $57, not including tip. read more

Worst service! Nails lasted less than a week after paying $90. Had to go back to repair 2 nails and still only 4 nails Left out of 10 after less than a week! read more

Bliss Nails & Spa 1 - Less than a week after paying $90 for a gel x full set half my nails are missing. - Nail Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

Honestly, you get decent service if you're paying cash and doing full sets. Today, I asked for my previous gel nails to be removed and asked for regular polish. The tech day nicked my nail and placed super glue over and said it was " fine" finished with a lumpy coat if nail polish and left me to sit alone while my nails " dried" . I sat for over 10 minutes, unacknowledged. She had moved on to other customers and didn't not finish the service after I had already paid and tipped. There was no massage or cuticle oil placed. I typically get a full set of IBD gel, and the previous experiences have been meticulous and courteous. This why I state you get decent service when you pay more. read more

Ive been here many times. The service was initially hit or miss but I give it 4 stars because I love Vicky and Nguyen now. They are the only people I let touch my nails. Otherwise my gel manicure will chip in just a few days. They may guarantee two weeks but no one has time to go back for that. Sadly Ive yet to find a good person for my toes. Tammy is not very friendly and sometimes even rude. Today I went in and she did my toes. She had to fix the polish on one because she accidentally scraped it. When I asked her to please fix it she just rushed polish on top and left to her phone. It still looked bad because you could still see the chip under the polish so I flagged her down again. She came back, put a bunch of new nail polish on it again (without taking the old off) and then dug into the side of my nails to clean off all the excess nail polish now on my toes. Super sloppy and now im sure it will chip in days with a layer of chipped polished hidden under new polish. I'll have to make sure she doesn't do my toes again. read more
