    Nancy has done my nails now twice and always does an amazing job. I walked in without an appointment and they took me within 2 minutes. They take time to make sure that you like the colors and shape and always help me decide what will look best. Nancy slayed my nails once again and has the best attitude (even when I asked to change the color of my polka dots right before putting on cuticle oil). I would reccomend this place to anyone looking for a new nail spot. My new staple

    Dip powder almond shaped nails

    I just moved to North Park at the end of July, and Corner Nails is literally around the corner from me! I got a dip powder manicure and spa pedicure--both turned out amazing! The service was perfect and the vibe is so welcoming! Everyone is so sweet, and made sure that I liked what they were doing at every step (e.g. dip powder/nail polish color, nail shape, etc.). I noticed a tiny bump in one pf my nails, and they were so quick to fix it, and to make sure that I was happy with it. I just found my new nail shop!

    I have become a regular at this nail salon and I cannot believe that it's taken me this long to write a review. It's just around the corner from my apartment (hehe perfect name for this salon in my opinion) and I walk here. I recommend also walking here since there is only street parking available around the residential areas. All of the nail techs are friendly and knowledgeable in what they do. Their pricing is fair, and even cheaper than nearby nail salons. They now recognize me whenever I go and always come up to say hi, which I always appreciate because it shows great customer service. Also, I almost fainted once while having my nails done (my blood pressure isn't the best) and they took very good care of me, even feeding me candy to make me feel better lol. Overall, this is one of my favorite salons and I will keep coming back time and time again. :)

    Skin sheer from callus removal

    I had a very bad experience here yesterday. My friend and I came in for pedicures. They had us both get in the chair, started her pedicure and then didn't start working on mine for more than 30 minutes. The water was freezing and I had to ask them to warm it up because I was waiting so long. I had originally asked for a deluxe pedicure but then since I didn't want my friend to wait for me to finish I just did a basic with callus removal. When she "removed my calluses" she cut up my skin so bad there is a huge, bleeding gash. This morning it is a deep, weepy blister and very painful!! Very disappointing, especially because I live in the area.

    gel manicure! Feeling like Barbie :)

    Corner Nails is my new go-to nail salon in San Diego. Everyone is SO friendly and attentive. I couldn't help but to notice the constant in and out of their regular clients, all of whom had the nicest nails. The salon is small and humble, but impeccably clean. The prices are the best you can find near North Park / University Heights, and they accept Cash, Venmo, Zelle and even credit cards (though with an additional fee. I got a gel manicure for $40, and regular pedicure for $29. You can choose a multitude of colors from DND and OPI. Will definitely be back for my next nail job!

    Love this place! First time trying it this place out and they did a fantastic job! Lee and Tom were amazing. Will definitely be back!!!!

    Nail split both horizontally and vertically. I don't even understand how this happened?????

    Really wanted to like this place as it's so close, they have a wide selection of colors and do basically everything. First couple of months went well, but they switch out their personnel so much it's a toss up. Eventually, I got a gal who kept filing my nail a weird way (it grows crooked) so I asked her to just leave it so it could grow out (NOTE: was really trying not to be a Karen so I asked her politely to stop 3 times then eventually put another finger there so she wouldn't file it). She kept trying until another woman realized it and finished my nail instead. I was really excited I got a tech who understood, and called to make an appointment with her the next month. Well, I got in there and I heard her say (in a really thick accent, I guess hoping I wouldn't hear?) that I'm "the girl who complained" to another tech. I pretended not to hear it and smiled through the mani pedi, tipped fine. Well, now my toe nail is split from the bed inwards and I have no idea how it's going to grow out. There's also a HUGE dip where the nail polish starts, so I def feel like it was from whatever that lady did. I really really wanted to like this place, but the staff is pretty rude, doesn't listen to customer requests, and doesn't seem like they really know what they're doing except for a couple of people. But hey, if you're willing to roll the dice, I really hope it works out for you!

    They are some nice sweet ladies. It's my second time going here. But today I left unhappy But $73 for a common design they should atleast be good at ? .... I understand acrylics are 50+ and I don't mind paying but this is ridiculous. I've gone to both nail techs and salons I know what to expect at the salons therefore I ask for simple stuff all the time. French tip .. I asked for thin deep French tip. Told her twice. She fixed 3 of my fingers twice. But I saw her struggling. I got frustrated myself seeing how she wasn't listening. And I have never I left with the bottoms of my nails looking like this before until today. If you're gonna charge me $70 I better get 70 worth of work well done. I rather take a "I can't do this design " then get charged that much for them to look exactly how I didn't want them to look. I try to give salons business bc sometimes yea it is convenient for me but I learned my lesson and I will go back to my at home nails techs. I rather spend $70 else where but atleast be happy with my results

    Feeling lucky  pastel green for the luck of the Irish this month

    They always take such good care of me and the leg massages after my pedicure in a massage chair while getting my manicure is much needed break in life. I love how warm and welcoming they always are. They had such a steady flow and regulars they greet all day. It may not be the most expensive updated but the staff are extremely nice and do everything to make each guest like royalty. I do love the many options of payment between credit cards, Venmo and Zelle! Thanks as always see you soon!

    This place always provides the best! They never disappoint! Today, my tech was Holly. She is one of the best!

    This place always provides the best customer service! I have been coming here since they first opened in 2022, and they never disappoint! Today, my tech was Holly. She is one of the best!

    Went for Gel-x fill and the nails were ruined when they treated it like acrylic. Poor shaping and filing of the nails. Would not recommend.

    The two times I've gone in, everyone has been so attentive. The leg massages are the best and I'm glad I found a good nail salon in SD.

    This place is great and always has been. Clean and stylish. I'm a long time customer. I only get…read morethe Brazilian. Very clean results, and I can't recall any irritation or ingrowns after, which is surprising because I am prone to those! And the ladies are so nice; they put you at ease in your... compromising position(s) lol!!! I recommend Sophie.

    I've been going here since 2014 and have never really had an issue. I had made an appointment late…read morelast night for today @ 10:40 but, wrote down 11:00. I left my house thinking I'd be 10 mins early but, realized my mistake so I called and spoke to the receptionist who told me that I may only have time for one of the two services I booked. She told me to ask Nicole when I got there if she could do my brow wax in addition to my Brazilian so I did and Nicole said no and that she would not have time. She told me to get undressed, I told her I'm fast yet, she took what seemed to be 3-5 mins to come back in. The Brazilian went smoothly, I don't need extra care, and I don't make small talk. I went out to pay and no one was in the lobby waiting. The receptionist bumped my appt from 10:40 to 11:00. Nicole was done and I had paid at 11:03. I sat in my car and handled a few things to see if anyone came in the front doors. Not one client walked in. I left at 11:15. Nicole had PLENTY of time to do my brows. PLENTY. She was just being petty. To top it off, she had the nerve to get offended and drop an attitude on me when I didn't tip here. Was she actually surprised? Unbelievable. There are WAY too many choices for waxing here in San Diego for one of your employees to act like that. As a side note: the woman who answered my call at 10:36 when I was on the road to the store was very kind.
