Not only is the actual place extremely cozy,…read morebut the owner Mylynn really allows you to feel really comfortable the immediate moment you step into the door. During my visit, I was able to get the Microdermabrasion process. With this process, the outer layer of dead skin cells are removed from your face in a very easy, soothing, and relaxing process, which helps discoloration and other forms of skin damage. She utilizes various lotions, an abrasive form of instrument, as well as an electric current in order to fulfill this process while simultaneously massaging your face and upper body. All of the ointments and lotions she used made my skin feel amazing and refreshed after each individual step. The massages that came along with the facial were only a special addition to an already great experience. It lasted about an hour overall, but once the process ends, you will definitely feel sad that the heavenliness is over! In addition to facials, she also specializes in waxing services and nail care. Her spot is in a nice area within Solana Beach and also has a private lot right in front, which is very convenient for customers. Overall though, I really want to emphasize how sweet and genuine Mylynn is as well as very knowledgeable about health and beauty. She gave me a ton of advice on how to treat my skin, but also truly cared about my physical AND my mental well-being, so thank you Mylynn! I'll definitely be coming back in the future and I recommend anyone to visit this spot!

This place is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Just moved here from the East Coast and found the Solana Beach Town Center. Was on the hunt for some new summer clothes and to pamper myself. Found Marshalls, and then right across the street Designer Nails. A little hidden, but that's ok. Right next to a Starbucks! What?! Great manicure and pedicure combo, and fantastic and friendly peeps. They made me feel welcomed, and didn't rush. This is my new go to spot for sure! Ask for Tammy! read more

Honestly I have to say the staff is not to polite. I had to call 3 times to see if I could finally use my 2 gift certificates given to me on my birthday. Finally talked to a gal named Lindsey who was supposedly the owner. Not to polite either. They would not honer my gift certificates because they were from the previous owner. $84 wasted. But from the reviews it's probably best to stay away. read more

The lady was super rude. She criticized the quality of the nail polish I brought (which was a clean brand without toxins) and I should just use OPI ! There was absolutely no need for this recommendation, I am fully aware of the OPI brand as I often do my nails. But it was not the suggestion that bothered me, it was the criticism of MiNE. But let's be real ! My nail polish is better than OPI because it had less toxins and that is what is best for ME ! I think I know what my body prefers! She then criticized my nails saying they were breaking (insane.. plus i do my nails every two weeks)! And yes there was one broken one but who cares?!! Why say this to a client?! Every time i go to caring spots, they help me fix them if broken and THAT is the point of getting your nails done! People do not just go when they have perfect nail! Then she asked where I was from and i told her American and she started teaching me that people in this country come from everywhere (as if I didn't know that because i myself originated from another country). Unbelievable. I was trying to relax but it was a nightmare. I think she was mad that I was doing a nail polish change only. Then i tipped her nonetheless and the owner shouted across the room the amount of the tip (and my nail lady never even thanked me). SO unprofessional!
