$85 *vy took off my old set (from a different salon) *I showed her a picture for reference and she did her best to match it.. I was very happy with my set because I had already been waiting at another salon down the street for way too long and she took me in right away, so I'm thankful for that. I've been coming here on and off since 2011, I love how she's shown the same level of hospitality since back then. Also she has a new puppy in the shop, which I don't mind, he is so cute. I'm just thankful for the ladies here that always make time for their customers. read more

City Nails II - Red French with design - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Vy and Mai are very professional and they both do an amazing job at what they do! Highly recommended them in San Diego!

Always love my nails when I leave here!! Vy & Mai do a great job and have never let me down.

Vy and My are the best!! Been coming here for a long time always good service!!! Prices are great too!!

I went to this nail shop hoping to find a new place close to home, but I left more than disappointed and almost in tears, I know it's dramatic, but people spend their money that they work for on services like this and my Christmas party is tomorrow! The pedicure felt rushed, the water was barely filled below my ankles, the polish was thick and looked old, and there was no massage or lotion at all. When I asked for it to be cleaned up because the paint was all over my cuticles, she did that but it still looked bad, so I asked her to remove the polish all together. On top of all that she still charged me $25 I paid and left. this was easily the worst pedicure I've ever had. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Amazing work love the way she does my pedicure she does a really good job no other place that works fast and knows what I want.

Absolutely horrible service! Do not waste your time here! I had an appointment and they had me waiting 25 minutes after that I left but who knows how long I would have been there. So rude! read more

REALLY wanted to like this place as it's so close to home. Pain Points: -Parking Sucks - Pedicure chairs old with no massage feature my favorite part -Nail tech was mostly interested in texting absolutely zero talk (awkward) as no language barrier -Door and Yelp states they accept cards (CASH ONLY) - No ATM in business but one in the same strip mall On the POSITIVE: -Regular Pedi and Gel manicure was $45 with tip $50 Will update with longevity as the detailing is BAD to say it NICELY.... Judge for yourself!!!! read more

by all means i am NOT a Karen... I went here because its close to home and thought id give it a shot. For one this place is extremely dirty! Nail dust evey where, trash everywhere, clutter, boxes everywhere. I went for a fill and pedi the lady had just got done w someones feet and had me come over. I asked her if it was sanitized she yes of course. I was like but you just got done w someones toes like 3 mins ago.. shes like yea i cleaned it just now. Sooo i took her word for it. ( i have never got an infection but if i do this place is why.) another thing is when i was doing my nails the lady was extremely quick, rough and when she was done she wiped the dust off my fingers with her hand and looked at me and said done. I was like okkkkay no brushing off the excess or cleaning around my skin where she got polish on. No cuticle oil to finish off. Just like that your done. So i got up and went straight to the sink to wash my hands. Im praying i dont get a fungal infection from this. If I dont I will NEVER go back there but if I do ill make sure i go back to let them know! I dont know how they even passed inspection because lord baby jesus is that place a mess! read more

City Nails II - White powder Acrylic Nails, with a butterfly design - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I used to love coming to Vy for my nails but stopped because the place is VERY dirty. I don't mind that the chairs are old and ripped. It's the dirty towels they use for all customers without washing, the nail dust piled up on all the tables, and the fact that they do not clean the pedicure bowls in between uses. This place is gross. I gave her one last chance a couple weeks ago because I needed my nails done quickly and everywhere else required an appointment. My nails were done in under 30 mins for like $40 I think but were thick with excess acrylic bumps on the back and mediocre design. You get what you pay for I guess and just be careful, you might catch nail fungus here read more

I wouldn't recommend this place anymore because they are always texting or having FaceTime calls instead of worrying about what they are supposed to do. My little sister got her nails done and they were a whole different color from what she picked. I'm sorry for them but I wouldn't go again. read more

It's pretty dirty. There's not much else to say but the hygiene standards are not up to par and I would be very surprised if people haven't gotten foot fungus or something because they "clean" the pedicure bowls with a quick spray of some solution, drain the water and half way wipe it down before moving to the next customer putting their foot RIGHT in there. Whew chile, no thank you. I came in for a manicure and saw the utensils and FORCED myself to get a polish change only because I had somewhere to go and one of my nails was chipped but I will never patron this place again for my own level of standards. read more

Zero stars!!!!! This place is the worst! I got a crummy gel manicure in SF yesterday. It started to peel on our plane ride to San Diego. The following day I quickly yelped a place near by and found this dump. It had good ratings on yelp but my experience was crummy. The location is small and only has 3 nail techs. I walked in and told them I needed gel taken off an some new color. Their nail color selection was awful. They were super rough and their service is awful!!! Avoid them at all costs! read more

This place came highly recommended by my sister in law although note *I did not get my nails done with the tech she recommended* More than anything my review is based on cleanliness and appearance of the salon. Yes they have reasonably cheap prices but still the work of my tech was mediocre, nothing special or amazing about the work I had done. He was very nice and friendly but reeked of cigarettes. Literally like smelling an ash tray the entire time there. There isn't much option on gel colors but he did try to accommodate on what I wanted for my nails. I wanted an American ombré set but got something close to it. The salon itself is in really bad shape, ALL the spa chairs literally look as though they got from the trash. The particular chair I had, had a large visible burnt hole right down the middle. All were torn and peeling as well as the manicure stations. I hate to sound so stuck up about a business but a business should have some integrity in their own business, they should care about their appearance. Wipe things down, stations had file dust everywhere. The towels they used look like they don't wash them. I will not be coming back and hopefully they get a makeover soon bc it's long overdue. read more

City Nails II - He dipped clear polish in red paint to create "natural" manicure but looks like my nail bed is bleeding especially pinky and ring finger - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Vy is very sweet and affordable, she is the only one I go to to get my nails done. It bugs me that most of the time I make an appointment and still have to wait until after my appointment to get my nails done, but there is only her doing nails so I guess that's why. The pedicure chairs are broken everytime I get one so that isn't great either but oh well. Still a good place read more

Here's the yelp review you wanted! Friend and I came here with my daughter roughly around 11:30am. They told us to return at 1:00pm because they were busy. No problem! We returned at exactly 1:00pm And goodness! All of the employees stared at us and obviously talking about us in their native language. At least be discrete in doing so! My friend and I were seated almost immediately. My daughter (who I clearly stated will be getting a kids spa pedicure) was asked to wait. NO PROBLEM. My friends spa water was turned on and I immediately noticed hair floating all over her leg. -_____- in the meantime, no one even bothered to turn my pedicure spa on.. We patiently waited for about 30 minutes.. Finally, there was a seat available and they sat another customer instead of my daughter that had been patiently waiting for 30 minutes! That was definitely my last straw. I got up and left. They insisted they would tend to us in a few minutes..WHY NOT inform us instead of letting us sit and wait "a couple minutes"? Why not just tell us they are under staffed instead of wasting our time? Also, a lot of their nail polishes were dried out just overall limited selection. We ended up going to another salon 5 minutes away, paid a little bit more for WAY BETTER SERVICE. It was absolutely worth it. I DO NOT AND WILL NEVER recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Vy and Mai are so helpful! The prices are amazing and couldn't surpass. I come back every time I'm back in San Diego and it's worth it. Definitely a place to stop by for getting your nails done for a great price! read more

Place is really dirty. They do OK nails depending on the time they have. I came here three times and one time my manicure nails were rushed and there was paint on my fingers. Prices are cheap but you get for what you pay for. I'm just glad I didn't get an infection. read more

This is definitely the best place to go for your nails! Vy is a perfectionist and remembers every client's choice in nail shape, thickness, length and polish choice! She's a great conversationalist about any topic! She lets me bring in Marley my service dog. She stays late quite often to meet the needs of her clients schedules! I have been to every nail shop in the Imperial Beach, Chula Vista ares and I keep returning here because of the quality service! Swear to god ! My fills last a month! And if I break a nail, she will always repair it for free! Now you tell me where you can get that kind of personalized service? read more

This is the only nail salon I have ever had a positive experience in. I've been going here since 2002. The staff is always friendly and efficient. Walk ins are welcome; stations are always clean and sanitized. Prices are reasonable and no one ever pressures you to go for the more expensive menu items. The parking lot is rather narrow and small, but there is also (free) street parking! I don't get my nails done very often, but this is definitely the best place to go for a great experience! read more

Worst place ever I went there to get my nails done for the first time and they didn't even last me 1 week and an half and what I notice is that if you're a guy your service means everything such as getting your eyebrows wax and they under charge them too while they charged everybody full price for any other service. Girls next time if you go in pay close attention to what they are charging you and ask around because some people are getting full service as you are but getting charged cheaper. I will never go back to this place, with there unfair pricing and service and catering to male service better then female, we should be treated equally when it comes to service like this. read more

Horrible work I requested coffin nails and weren't even coffin some guy did my nails there guess he was the only elderly man who works there . I would never go back to this place again and make sure my friends who live around the area don't go to this place very disappointed read more

By far, the worst gel manicure ever! Vee worked on my nails and seemed to do the opposite of everything I asked. I wanted a slight cut down and she chopped of my nails. I asked for a square shape and she rounded them. The polish is already peeling and don't even get me started on the poor cuticle work. Check out my pics and judge for yourself. These pics were taken today, the day of the manicure. I will have to pay to get my nails redone at my regular shop. The only reason I went to this shop is because I was visiting my mother and it was conveniently located. My nails look like they were done by an 8 year old. I agree with the other helper Vee and her nail salon deserve zero stars! read more

Place is really dirty they cut the sides of my finger tips ripping skin out. One finger got infected. They were sore for a week. Used dirty nail files, never used lotion after Mani. Had cold water in little bowl. This place is bad read more

I came here because it has a decent star rating on here but I will not be returning. While my nails look good and for the most part, how I want them to, the guy was rude. While my base coat was drying he proceeded to go outside and have a cigarette. When he came in, he didn't wash his hands or anything. He did this one more time while one of my coats was drying. When finishing up, he played on his phone while my nails were drying. The salon has no music or tv on, I could hear the other customer's entire conversation while I was there, very awkward and uncomfortable. read more

I have never been so disappointed with a business to go out of my way to review it, but anyone wanting to come to this nail salon needs to be warned! The lady who worked on my nails rushed my entire appointment. She was rough on my already fragile nails, breaking and scratching them. She only did 2 coats of paint so I can see my nails through the color! And before even asking me how I liked my nails, she moved on to her next client. Comepletely unacceptable! read more
