    Broken acrylic toe nails and cuts

    Diva Nails Chula Vista I'm sharing this in hopes that management will take it seriously and make this right. I have scheduled appointments in advance multiple times, yet I'm consistently asked to wait 30+ minutes because my technician is still with another client. This defeats the purpose of booking and shows a lack of respect for customers' time. More concerning is the service quality. My clear requests to properly remove and replace acrylic were ignored, the work felt rushed, I left with cuts on my toes, and within days the acrylic cracked and broke. This reflects poor workmanship and inadequate care. When I calmly raised these concerns, they were dismissed and I was still charged full price, with no meaningful attempt to resolve the issue. Because this has happened more than once, I'm extremely disappointed. I would appreciate management reaching out to address this experience and provide an appropriate resolution. -- Valerie

    Really nice to pamper yourself from time to time. I was at a birthday party with some friends and one of them lives in Chula Vista and suggested to get us a Mani-pedi at this place as it is cheaper than in San Diego. I am not used to do the fake nails (last time was 3 years ago) but I loved my experience at Diva Nails. Very active salon, it was so busy all the time I was there. I really like the result of my acrylic mani and my monkey toes got very happy too. Only think I didn't like was to be charged $2 for using credit for each transaction.

    Ivy does the most amazing job every time !! She pays so much attention to detail and she's so quick too (': . I showed her a reference pic and she got it exact, if not better. Susan also always does such a great job on pedicures. So sweet and kind. Love love love and will keep going to them.

    The girls are mean they start talking in there language and all the other employees start looking at me I felt uncomfortable they continued, the girls got bothered of me telling her she doing it on even (I told her in a nice way ) and my nails where too thick wide my finger nail is not wide she didn't do them even and this is my 3rd time they had done this to me sadly I do not recommend this place I felt uncomfortable I Js wanted to get up and leave but I did need my nails done I though it would be different this time her energy was really rude.

    Look I paid with tip 150 dollars I do not mind paying, but I do expect that they last at least 2.5 weeks but with a good mail tech quality will last 3 weeks. I am in so much pain right now both hands all nails are lifted. 5 nails gone... look they looked beautiful as soon as I did them and I loved them and I said I want to make them last for a bit but this is not the business. Diana had such a great vision and I was soooo happy but right now I feel regret. Both my hands hurt so bad. Fresh set as well.

    The woman who did my pedicure was very skilled and meticulous when it came to detail. She took her time and really did an amazing job.

    Another miracle done by Diane

    Came w Diane for a more than overdue appointment. As ever Diane continues to amaze me after so many years I've tried many different salons & different nail Techs throughout San Diego but nobody seems to top her. No wonder her desk is #1 :)

    This was after I started vigorously treating it. My toenail was green!!! I'm still treating it twice a day! 3 months after seeing them!

    I have been going to Diva Nails for 18 months. Don't go here unless you want a half asss job done on your hands or toes. Everything was fine until I got a bad pedicure that ended up with fungus in my nail. When I went back later to discuss it, I was rudely dismissed.

    Full set short blue gel polish $33 Full set pink powder medium red gel polish design $52

    I've been here before but the last two times have been terrible. I didn't even get anything done due to the long wait. I understand if you are short staffed. I understand if there are people ahead of me. When you tell me it is a 15-20 minute wait and by 30 minutes I still haven't been helped, that is not ok. Last time I came with someone and they were helped while I was kept waiting, I figured people who were getting seated had appointments, so next time I tried making an appointment but couldn't. I don't have a preferred tech so I just wanted an appointment with anyone but was told to come in. Today again "15-20" minute wait. At 30 mins I ask how much longer. The girl says about 12 more minutes. So a 15-20 minute wait is actually closer to 45. Just be upfront and people will decide if they want to stay. I left and will not be coming back ever again.

    Are they open right now during this covid?

    No They are not right now

    How much does a pedicure cost?

    the spa pedicure is $20

    How much for gel acrylic nails?

    $31 for a full set

    Does anyone know how much a full set costs? Coffin shape, shortish/medium length & one gel color?

    $38 - This is exactly what I get every time I go.

    Do they do dip powder manicures?

    Yes they do. Book your appointment with Dianne! They're all beasts but she's the top beast ;-)

    Do they do dipping powder manicures here?

    Yes

    Does anyone happen to know how much they charge to remove a full set of acrylic nails?

    $10

    Does anyone know the price for a fill?

    They honestly change the prices off and on. They don't organize their pricing correctly. For example, One day you'll walk in paying $25 for refill then the next you come in you end up paying $50... it's honestly ridiculous.

    I heard they do eyelash extensions here, is that true?

    Yes it's true! I believe the girls name is pronounced "hi-me" hope that helps!

    What is the average price for a pedicure that includes nail trimming, cutting, polish and scrubbing?

    Does anyone know the average costs for a full set?

    about $31 and it depends on long/short/shape/design

    Place is good but I went to get a nail fixed and the lady didn't even look at the other nails to see if they were even and made the new nail smaller then the rest and longer. Probably won't go back to diva nails I personally don't like the service?

    How is this a question? This is more of a tip

She's a…read moremaster at her craft, and the level of care, detail, and skill she puts into every service is unmatched. I keep coming back because she consistently delivers the best experience, both in treatment and ambiance. I've tried the Basic Rejuvenation, Dandruff Basic, and Dandruff Advanced, and every single service has been exceptional. From the personalized scalp analysis and herbal tea soak to the hydro microdermabrasion, nourishing serums, and LED therapy, my scalp and skin always leave refreshed, balanced, and glowing. I struggle with dry scalp and eczema, and Sophia is the only person who has truly helped me. Her technique feels like a deep tissue massage for your scalp, plus a soothing face, neck, and upper‑back massage. The herbal steam, calming music, and her perfect pressure create the most relaxing environment. She uses both her hands and professional scalp tools, takes her time, never rushes, and genuinely cares about her clients. She previously owned a salon in Vietnam and taught these services, and it absolutely shows. Her expertise is one of a kind. She even finishes with a blow‑dry so you're not leaving with wet hair. For the quality and time she provides, her prices are incredibly reasonable for the San Diego/Chula Vista area. If you're looking for a head spa that delivers real results, deep relaxation, and a provider who truly knows what she's doing, go to Sophia. You will not regret it.

First red flag, Sammy/Sammie had a face mask around his neck, not his face. He sneezed multiple times during my pedicure but didn't bother to cover his face. Gross! Second red flag, I chose the European pedicure with regular polish but he kept insisting I get gel polish. After refusing multiple times, he reluctantly started my pedi, but seemed really annoyed. Third red flag, he cut my big toe. I felt it immediately and the jerk didn't bother to apologize. WTF! Then I remembered why I stopped coming here. My daughter complained that they would always make one of her toes bleed at every visit. I won't return and I recommend others to stay away too! They definitely need to be retrained on hygiene practices and learn how to properly trim toenails without breaking skin!

Keep your money, IVY hair dresser bleached my hair however she missed to bleach all. She left me looking like a cheetah. She did not add the color I wanted after bleached.

When I looked at my hair I seen black spots, she started laughing and said "sorry girl that's your hair it didn't grab there" I told her I need it fixed she said not today. I called her same day I left and she asks me to come back 4 days later to fix. I had to go to work with the horrible hair color. When I asked her if she can fix she said yes but I'll have to charge possibly, I will need to speak to my boss.

She took the money but never offered to make this issue better the day of. She also cut my hair, horrible didn't even part, literally cut straight across. Horrible person, says she been doing hair 10 years. IVY needs to go back to school and learn to cut, color and make her customers happy.
