I think Dianne is my favorite nail lady I have ever been to! She did a fantastic job, her salon is lovely and spotlessly clean. I've never seen so many polishes ever! Whether it's gel dip, or acrylic! You name it, she has it! I can't wait for them to open back up! I'll be waiting at her door! read more

Excellent customer service! I always feel like a queen when I'm there--pampered with two techs working on me at once, relaxing in a massage chair, and sipping a glass of wine. It truly doesn't get any better than that! read more

This is an update for my previous review. As always this place is soo clean and welcoming. They took me in at closing time which is soo nice of the owner. I got my gel nails done by a new person and she did nice job but as it was was closing she rushed it and I got some bumpy gel nails. I have contacted the owner and she responded back saying that she can fix it. She took me in immediately after she opened the store and she herself worked on my nails and fixed them and also changed to the color which I was wanting for a long time. Diane (The owner) is amazing at what she does and gives her best in satisfying her customers. She goes above and beyond to get the service done for the customer. Will definitely go here again. read more

I only trust this crew to leave me gorgeous and happy! We love the vibe, service and the people! Thanks Diane! Deb, Madi and Nicole read more

My friend has been coming here for years and I joined her for a mani/pedi. The salon is very clean and they have a lot of color choices. The pedicure was awesome. They have the standard massage chairs. It's been 3 weeks since my pedicure and it still looks flawless. I went back a week and a half after my initial appointment to have a polish change on my nails since the gel had chipped. This place is popular and I highly recommend you make an appointment. read more

Diana is a real sweetheart. She is skillful, kind and accommodating. Her singing is the icing on the cake.

Went for pedicure and acrylic. There was only one more customer but later 3 came in. Overall clean place. The technicians were good - had average pedicure experience and acrylics was ok. My concern was with thick nails on some fingers. Its week 3 and two nails have come off. Would be going back in. read more

I called into this nail salon today because my normal place couldn't squeeze me in and they were able to get me in so quickly! My appointment was with NaNa and she did such a wonderful job and gave me exactly what I asked for. I'm so happy with not only the results of my nails, but also the customer service I received from NaNa and how quickly yet precisely she performed. I will most definitely be back! read more

Don't bother making an appointment they don't care about your time. 20 minutes after my appointment I was handed the color book and told I'd be helped shortly No thank you Someone else will gladly take my hard earned money read more

I need to get my nails done for work function and based on the reviews I thought I would give this place a try. Pedicure was amazing. My full set not so much. I had brought in a picture of simple natural short ballerina nails. The girl seemed a little confused on the ballerina shape. She suggested a coffin shape instead. So I said if she was more comfortable with doing coffin that was fine as well. After she had many discussions with her fellow colleagues she decided she was OK with doing the shape. She seemed very nice but most of the nails are crooked and they're much longer than what I had asked for. I know the other nail technician seem a little more capable maybe she's just new, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I will be going back. If I do I will probably have one of the other nail technicians. You may be wondering why didn't I ask her to fix it if I was not happy. She already seemed a little uncomfortable with the coffin which she was she suggested. I didn't feel comfortable asking for a third time even after showing the picture. I'm going to include the picture I brought in of the nails I wanted and my actual nails. read more

I have been going here consistently for almost 3 years and I will not go anywhere else. Diane is amazing and very flexible with me and the ladies always do an amazing job! I drive about 35 min every other weekend to get my nails done because it's WORTH IT! I have recommended all of my friends to go here because of the quality, cleanliness and great customer service! read more

They had to fix my nails two times. I got French tips and the girl did not cover my entire nail the first time, and filed the paint off of the tips, so it looked like I needed a fill immediately. The owner fixed them that night after telling me it was the design I went with and she decided herself to do a different design. I noticed that she left nail dust and lint that got under the clear polish. Went back the next day to get them done the 3rd time and the girl didn't do the tips right. Left them cloudy, discolored and uneven. Now only 6 days later, the white tips are turning yellow on top of getting scratched and chipped after only 2 days. I was hesitant to leave a bad review but am very displeased with how much I spent here. read more

I scheduled an appointment for today at 12pm. For myself and my two daughters. Ages 8 and 9. All I wanted was a pedicure for myself / change of polish for my acrylic on hand, and a mani- pedi for my daughters. They had gotten off school early from a dentist appointment, and I thought this would be a nice thing to do for them. I come into my appointment at 11:55 am and wasn't taken in until 12:17 ish. So I guess no point in making an apt since you still have to wait till they decide they have time for you. I wanted a change in nail polish color for myself - (Hands) and a pedicure that was $45 for myself. My total ended up being 227. They said they were charging me the full price of an adult for my daughters each. Mind you their hand and feet size is literally half of an adult. And hardly any nails at all. Barely any product to be used. I asked why I was being charged the adult price for each child and her response se was "because we use gel honey" ...... okay ????? Makes no sense. I wouldn't recommend based on the fact that they don't respect Apointment times and that they basically rob you on the price and make up weird excuses on why they charge you that. Why would they charge the same price as an adult for a child when not the same amount of product will be used. We will find a new place and I would give it 0 stars if I could. I attached a picture of what their $38 manicure for a child. Edit: owner responded, she states she did a free flower. So if it was free what was the whole point of pointing it out? And the amount she mentions doesn't even equal out to be the whole 227 read more

I got a pedicure here done by Rose. I appreciate that she added another coat of polish to my nails without me having to ask! This is huge to me as I hate having to ask technicians to add another coat so that it is not sheer. She did a great job and I will definitely be coming back! read more

I've had my nails done by Diane once at another salon in Escondido. Once I heard she had opened this Nail Shop of course I had to pay her a visit. Since it is new, its super nice and clean, all new products. Lots of color options and Diane is a sweetheart. Very personable and makes my nails look beautiful! What more can I ask for? Did I mention great pricing too?! I'm definitely coming back for a pedicure, I want to sit on those new massage chairs lol read more

Awful customer service. Only focus is to tax customers to death. Should instead focus on doing a good job . They charge the same for gel or no gel . Full price. When I mentioned that made no sense it magically became 5$ cheaper . read more

Love love love my fresh new acrylic nails! Perfect in every way, from the lay of the pink powder to the precision of my white French tip. And my gel pedicure was beautiful and relaxing.

Well those nails lasted about 3wks- for me that is awesome. I came back and they did another outstanding job. Unfortunately a week later, I broke a nail. Didn't even realize it, nit sure when exactly it happened. Came in today and there were two ppl waiting. When asked how they could help me I just showed her my nail and said "I broke a nail, was hoping to get it fixed." She laughed and looked at the other lady and said "we have a lot of appointments." I said ok when could you be available. "They said, we are too backed up we won't be able to see you it's going to take a long time." I said "how long, can you give me an estimate?" They told me to come back at 5... it's 230. My impression is that bcz I need them to fix one nail, as opposed to a full set, they were not even willing to meet with me at all until I pressed the issue and they threw out a random time that no one would be willing to wait for. Very disappointed. Especially when they asked me to just come in if I broke a nail instead of writing a negative review. Well I came in, your staff was rude, and that earns a negative review. I wouldn't have minded waiting 30-45 min. It's just one nail. And I would've paid for it. But 2hrs? A time I had to drag out of you? And at first you weren't even willing to see me at all? No ma'am. I am a good customer who is generous with tipping and wrote you raving reviews. This nail should not have broken in a week doing nothing. 2 stars bcz the second set looked beautiful and they got me in Right away. Also 2 stars bcz they clearly don't appreciate you as a customer unless you're willing to drop $$$ for a full set. Shame. I really thought this was my new place. read more

I don't get my nails done regularly so often go to different spots. I've now been here twice now, once for a pedicure with my husband and the other for a fill and gel (after a "meh" job at another nail salon). Great staff, attentive owner, quick and great work! They are still going strong after a full two weeks. Fantabulous may make me a repeat customer yet! read more

I came here out of desperation trying to find a good nail salon in San Marcos - have not been happy with all the others I've tried. Tammy did a GREAT job on the pedicure and also (surprisingly) the manicure. Normally, a regular mani only lasts a few days - Tammy's excellent work lasted almost 2 weeks before chipping (not gel, just regular polish). Well done! I'll be back (and I'm telling friends)! : ) read more

This business is the worse one that I ever been for my nails. I had pedicure and Manicure service. The lady did not do my cuticles and she poked me bad it was so painful, and she was forcing me to do the gel and I did not like gel. She got so mad and messed it up. Less than 20 hours the colors fell off. When I called the salon, the lady I guess it was a manager. She was super rude instead of saying apologize she was yelling at me and did not let me to talk and said we don't refund money. I said I don't want to come there again and you mess up my nails and injure my nails again. I don't recommend them. They are so rude so unskilled. Don't go there. read more
