I was honestly really hesitant to try a new nail salon after my regular nail tech had to close for a few months due to a family loss. I don't usually trust just anyone with my nails, but I decided to give this place a try since it's right next to my work--and I'm so glad I did. Kim did an amazing job! Her attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the care she took really stood out. My nails came out exactly how I wanted (if not better), and the whole experience was comfortable and relaxing. It's not easy to find someone you trust with your nails, but Kim definitely earned mine. Highly recommend! read more

***Update*** Got my nails redone here by my regular, amazing and professional nail tech, Danny. He does fantastic work and knows the style I prefer and always makes sure that I am left satisfied. The owner, Jessica is a true gem and is the sweetest. I had a great experience. Looking forward to my next visit to try other styles. Got the chrome with extensions today. Salon is very clean and has a positive vibe. Lots of nail colors to choose from. read more

Honestly I was very excited to go here it's 3 min from home but I went in for a fill with 2 missing nails and I paid $50 only for all my nails to be different shapes. I asked for round and they come out a little more pointy. Even when asking for then to fix one he filed maybe one time and acted like it was kinda a big deal. I went in on Sunday and by Tuesday the nail they out on came off. All around they feel bulky. I was very disappointed as it's hard for me to get away for big and I usually only get my nails done once a month because I have a baby I breastfeed so taking my time only to get a terrible job done is very upsetting. read more

Kim did my nails! She did a phenomenal job, gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. everyone who's ever done my nails never ever does my ring finger straight because of the way my finger is. Kim took her time and made sure it was straight. Amazing shape. Very friendly, offered me water, just good vibes all around. I will definitely be back!! read more

My and my friend came here before but this time look a bit different. I guess they change the owner and is under new management. More color added to to their polish selection, plus they doing dip. We both got acrylic with some design from Jessica. Shes pretty good and listen to what you want. We'll try dip next time. I like their music :) oh and also having 10% this month which is nice! read more

It was clean and they got me in quickly. I was curious why it was empty and I'm sure they have awesome ladies there but when I went in, I did not have a good experience. I got a gel x fill and had a single nail that had come off. She filed it down to where it burned for a solid 10 seconds. That has never happened in my life. She tried to say that it happens to everyone but my thought is it must only happen to her clients. Not only that but the nails at the end were misshapen and bumpy. Honestly the worst nails I think I've ever gotten and I was so disappointed. I wouldn't go back nor would I recommend it. read more

Getting your nails cut, nipped, buffed, polished and top coated is probably one of the most satisfying acts of self care! I love super clean toes! I like that they take the time to file and nip in places that I can't see or do myself. I've been here twice already and my polish (gel) hasn't chipped or cracked PLUS the nails underneath are in fairly great shape! After the cleaning I'm confident enough to go polish-free knowing that my nails and cuticles are looking loved and cared for. As another Yelper wrote, sanitized and lined wash tubs. I did not see sterilized packs of nail tools being used though and unlike many salons during this pandemic, screened dividers are not present although they do socially distance and space each client with a chair between them and limit number of patrons in at the same time. What I didn't like was having to put my foot inside the gel drying/hardening machine unlike the ones I've used before where they place the machine OVER your foot. read more

Kinda disappointed because I had hopes for this place because of the reviews. But my nails turned out a bit sloppy and my pedicure was rushed.. literally took 15 min on the pedicure, and not much cuticle care either as advertised on their options list. The lady who did my nails almost made me pay full price when the greeter did mention they had 10% off in the services. Good thing I mentioned the promo again during my check out. 3 stars because the staff were nice and the place looks clean and bright. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem. I've been going here for a little over a year now and it's been amazing every time. Every lady in there is super nice and Jessica is truly the best. She works wonders and knows how to manage/run the place. She can do real basic styles and also trendy designs too! They know what's up. Vibes are immaculate. Just let them know exactly what you want and don't be afraid to speak up. It's all love at FOCUS!! read more

Absolutely awesome. I went here last week and Jessica did my nails. They have never looked so awesome!! She did the BEST job!!! read more

I've been wanting to find a nail salon that does nail art, found this place near my house and give it a try. Have to say I'm impressed with the end product. I usually do acrylics but Jessica introduce me to GelX, it is similar to acrylics but much thinner and doesn't use any of the smelly liquid from what she told me. If you want nail design, definitely make an appointment with Jessica, she is so throughout and listens to your request. They have a lot of color selections as well, took me a while to finally pick a color because they all look so good. I'm very satisfy with my nails. Will return in the future!!! read more

Focus Nails & Spa - Bad eyebrow wax service leading to a skin tear. the wax was not warm enough which caused it to happen. I do not trust these employees. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

It was my first time here. And I invited my sis in law. We picked the $67 worth that includes Green tea extract paraffin wax etc. And of the 30-minute massage. It was good the lady cleaned my toenails but she didn't achieve the color we picked which is light pink. They didn't even ask if we liked it or not. Anyway, another thing is we picked this bec we were looking forward to the relaxing massage, but It was a terrible massage. I can't feel her hands on my feet plus she is watching TV while doing it and just watching the timer to snooze off. Lastly, I didn't check and forgot to ask why they charged me $88 for each total of $166 for just gel ped with a nonrelaxing massage. Definitely will never comeback here. read more
