    Cutie nails are amazing I've been coming here since December 2024!! I highly recommend getting your nails done here and making this your new spot. They never disappoint and can do any design you want. They always give great recommendations too!! The music and the vibes are always good

    My sister in law rented out the salon for her bridal party! Great nail salon and will definitely be back if I am ever down in Chula Vista. They are a family owned/run business so they next time you are looking to support by getting your nails done, come here! Prices are super good and the nail techs are super consistent. Not sure if any particular tech can do intricate designs but I didn't ask for anyone specific and Mei (May(?)) was able to do the simple design I wanted!

    Tran is still the best! Two years later but she's sweet, creative, an artist. This place is family owned and operated. They really want the customer to be happy and comfortable. Give your money to this place, they go the extra mile. It's a family type feel. Trust.

    The technicians here are so kind and very hospitable. It is a small nail salon, but I think it makes it more personable. You get to have more of a conversation with your technician or just relax without so many people around you on their phone like those larger salons. Tran is my go to girl and has been great, I've only starting going here not too long ago and it's a hidden gem right up my street. Tran takes her time and ensures I like the shape the color and everything before she starts. This place is definitely my go to spot for gel mani and pedi. Also want to add that their prices are reasonable. Check them out!

    I've been looking for nail salons along this area and so far I highly recommend! Try to call ahead of time to make an appointment. The service is excellent and they really take their time. My nail technicians were THU and DUY. I will definitely come back when I can. The price is descent as well compared to other places. There's also a hair salon right next to it if you need to do your hair!

    This shop is a little with great service and so welcoming to all customers. I was able to meet my nail tech there because I see Sandra for my hair. She is amazing. These pics I'm sharing are my nails done by Tran. She too is amazing and did exactly what I requested! Great team you all have there and so affordable too! Don't for get to tip people, well deserved!

    Beautiful designed nails. Acrylic with gel over lay and nail stickers!

    This small little nail salon is in the back of a hair salon and easily missed. They do great work and the prices are cheaper than most in the area. They will do any design on your nails and toes are all very friendly. Also have been in the Chula Vista area for a long time. Come support your local small business. You will def be happy with the prices and the creativity! They are happy to do your nails from any pic you googled. It's honestly amazing!

    Song does absolutely beautiful designs! She takes her time every time I go. I've been going to this nail salon since 2016 and never look back. Always does beautiful work and is so reliable! I am so picky and it's hard for me to trust someone, especially nails. But Song is my nail girl and I HIGHLY recommend!

    if i could give 10 stars i would!! if you're looking for an affordable place to get your nails done in San Diego with amazing service and top-notch quality, then come to cutie salon!!! they are incredibly friendly and will guarantee your nails come out exactly how you want them...or better! i've been going here for 3 years now and i always come back. i'm impressed every time and never feel like i'm being overcharged (like other nail salons do). trust me when i say that this is the most underrated nail salon in San Diego. thank you for giving me amazing nails every single time. definitely give cutie salon a try!

    The shape I requested (not the color/design)
    Sofia C.

    I was pretty unimpressed with the whole experience. I called 30 minutes ahead to make sure they had availability. When I arrived I was seated without a wait which was good. However throughout the service my tech left repeatedly to go tend to another customer. Huge pet peeve of mine. I understand that they want to serve as many customers as they can but they're doing so at the expense of work quality and customer experience. It also increased the total time of my service. I was there for over two hours. I would have been fine with all of that had the work been decent quality, but it was not. I requested xxl length acrylic nails, coffin shape. I understand that this length can be challenging to execute, but that's no reason for me to pay for poor quality work. There was an overall lack of attention to details; the shape of the nails is inconsistent, lumpy, and looks nothing like the photo I showed the tech. There are areas where the polish did not cover the nail and a pretty significant gap between the acrylic nail and the cuticle. I hate leaving reviews like this because the staff were nice and friendly, but overall it was a really disappointing experience

    Done by Tran! Love them

    Had to find a new nail spot around my place and found this nail salon. Staff is very friendly and so far haven't been disappointed! Highly recommend it.

    Highly recommend Song! She is so sweet and never disappoints me! Always gets my mom & I in fast and always does an amazing job! They have also recently remolded their business it looks sooo good!

    Lindsay was absolutely amazing. I went in for a balayage and hair cut and she gave me exactly what…read moreI was wanting. She talked me through each step of the process made sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. Definitely will be going back to her.

    I've been going to my hairstylist for over a year and she is truly incredible. If this review were…read moreabout her, it would be five stars every time. Unfortunately, it's about the salon owner, whose behavior is consistently rude, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing for someone running a business. From my very first appointment, she set the tone. I walked in with a Starbucks for myself and my stylist... completely unaware the salon had a café (which was closed, by the way). Instead of a normal greeting or a simple "Just so you know, we have coffee here," she loudly blurted out, "Who brings Starbucks here?" as if I had just broken a house rule. Not exactly the welcoming vibe you expect when you're coming in to spend money. Her attitude has been the same every visit since: dirty looks, zero acknowledgment unless you're her direct client, and an overall negative energy that shifts the whole room the second she walks in. And it's not just me. My best friend and my mom have both gone to the same stylist and experienced the exact same treatment from the owner. The same snarky comments, the same judgmental looks, the same cold, uninviting demeanor. So it's clearly a pattern, not a one-off. One moment that really stuck with me: it was just me, my stylist, and the owner in the salon. My stylist stepped into another room, so I raised my voice slightly to make sure she could hear me. The salon was empty. Yet I overheard the owner mutter, "Why is your client so loud? She's in a salon." Instead of speaking to anyone directly or respectfully, she chose to insult a paying client behind their back. Completely uncalled for and extremely unprofessional. Even if YOU the paying client says hi to her she looks you up and down and gives a cold hi back. At this point, the only reason I've ever tolerated stepping foot into this salon is because of my hairstylist. Who deserves better, and so do her clients. If you value professionalism, respect, and a welcoming environment, I'd strongly recommend booking with these amazing stylists anywhere else if they offer services at another location. The talent here is great. The owner is the problem.
