I ran there with my daughter to do TAP gel nails. We got them done early December (very light pink) they are still on, no issues only growth. That is amazing! I will be going back there always! read more

Glamour Nails - This is my nails at 6 weeks. They're not perfect and I need to get back there. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

NOTHING glamour about this place Terrible. I don't think we ever experienced anything like this before and we have been to hundreds of nail spots all over the world. 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! read more

I am having a hard time staying here. I have tried so many girls here and after a few times, they are too thick, or filed so they are left bumpy. I was a manicurist decades ago and I am really picky. I want a smooth natural curve, nails that don't chip or break and are shaped right. That is most important and they just can't stay consistent. The pedicures are fine. I loved rose even though she spaces out as she rubs your legs,. She will stare off into space and stop, then start. I am looking for a new spot. For now, I am doing myself. It is easy for me but I just don't like taking the time. I'd rather get a nice break and have someone else do them. read more

The worst manicure I've ever gotten. They started by completely cutting my nails off and filing them crooked. I had to ask him to stop cutting them 4 times before someone else came and stepped in and made him get away from me. It looks like a child did them. And then they proceeded to refuse to take my card payment and forced me to Venmo. The place is also disgusting with dirty towels everywhere. I would advise going literally anywhere else in the area or doing your nails yourself. read more

I'm never received a worse manicure in my life. Came in for a gel manicure and was placed with Cindy. I could physically see her removing the gel polish, but when I look down at my nails my skin has gel all over it. As well as Cindy rushed through me and did not paint the gel on my entire nail. I would've absolutely said something if I didn't feel like they were rushing me through the salon. I will drive five minutes to a much better salon next time. Sad how downhill this location has gone. read more

This was the worst service I've ever received from any Nail Salon. I come in here with a friend and we get seated for pedicures next to each other with two nail techs. I ended up having the male nail tech, which was fine until I told him that there's gel polish on my toes. He tells the Nail tech next to him that he's uncomfortable removing gel polish and he ask if he could switch. The nail tech next to him says no and just tell him to proceed anyways. I'm very uncomfortable at that point and I told the nail tech I wanna switch with somebody else. Because he did not know how to remove gel from my toes. Because the Nail Salon staff was irritated that I understood them speaking in Vietnamese and that I requested to switch to a different nail tech that's comfortable doing a gel pedicure . They no longer want to speak to me in Vietnamese, but only spoke to me in English. And then they did not even ask me what pedicure package I wanted. They removed my old gel polish , cut my toenails and cleaned up the cuticles, and painted a French tips. I did not receive any scrub on my legs. So they called this a basic pedicure and charged me $60 . They said a basic pedicure is 54$ and it's an extra six dollars for French tips. Very disappointed in the way that this Nail Salon and the 10 different technicians all in the salon Treated my experience. Worst customer service and professionalism. read more

Was going to drop my wife off and decided to just come in and just wait with her. She convinced me to get my feet done, so I did. First, they wouldn't let my wife soak her polish off and said they had to use the drill (apparently the drill is super painful for her and she always gets infections when they use it). They had 3 people tell her they would only use the drill. She said they always soak it off at other places without issue and they've even done it here. Then they put me in a broken chair and the water wouldn't circulate, so I was literally sitting in my own filth instead of them moving me to a working chair. They basically rubbed my legs for an hour and never even did the callus treatment which I asked them to do from the very beginning and made sure I pointed it out when I picked the treatment. She told me she already did it which was a lie. I know they didn't do it because the nail person had to get up and go get the pumice stone after she argued with me that the sugar scrub was the callus treatment. For $100/person with tip...not worth it at all. I suggest you go somewhere else. For the location, I suggest they retrain their staff. Huge opportunity missed to be in the heart of the Del Mar town center and have poor service. Now I know why they have all these poor reviews. read more

My friend came in today , she is very happy with her nails , they do very good job , thank you so much , will be back read more

Went in for a pedicure and overall good job. Massage was good and they removed a lot of callous. Person doing my nails was very nice, whole place is friendly and gave everyone a warm welcome. My only complaint is they took too much cuticle off one of my toes and it bled. Its currently is still really sensitive and needs to heal. I would imagine this is not the case for everyone since the place is always busy with customers so maybe my experience is just a one off experience but probably not going to go back. read more

Loved my design, my nail tech was so collaborative with jewels, however the actual acrylic gel x didn't last two days. Both pointer fingers fell off and my right pinky is currently loose. I'm on vacation so i can't just go back right away to fix it. Wouldn't recommend this place. Wish I could get a refund or a redo. Edit: they offered to re-do which is really nice - will update after if they last! read more

Just got the worst manicure of my life. She was rough the whole time and obviously didn't pay attention to detail because I had to keep correcting things she was doing. Then towards the end she cut too deep and made my pointer finger bleed. It was a $35 gel manicure and then I was a charged a .50 convenience fee, which I don't think is legal. I'm not one to post negative reviews but I'm so frustrated and irritated with my nails. I'm probably going to end up going somewhere else this week to have them redo it so that's another $30-40 I have to pay The manager is beyond disrespectful and rude but I called her out to her face. Listen to your customers, schedule the appointments correctly. I will never give a cent to them. read more

It was ugly and the quality was bad. I did a gel and the gel was crooked on my nails. I told her but it was already done. I asked her to shorten it and she still like the very pointy long version. Just ugly. read more

Updated review: I have been a loyal customer for 8 years, and it pains me to say this, but I am never happy with my manicure or pedicure these days. The past 5 times I've gotten my nails done, the nail tech files my nails to varying different shapes and lengths. This past time, I left with one thumb shaped round and one square. So disappointing! Mimi is wonderful, but everyone else I've seen recently leaves me feeling like I should have just done my own nails at home. Also my gel ALWAYS chips when I get it done here. That never happens at other salons. Might have to switch nail salons... read more

I have been going to this location forever and I always love my nails! Especially with Mimi but all the girls are fantastic!

I've been getting my nails done at glamour nails for years! They always do such a great job and the nail techs are so sweet. I have been getting hard gel manicures recently, and they've been lasting 4-5 weeks. I can't wait to go back! read more

Good location to go to get ties and hand done . I recommended for you to check in And it really great quality prices . read more

To give it a fair chance, I have now been here three times. All three times I have been cut at least once. Terrible nails each time ago, and they don't listen to what you want. First time she shaped them terrible, half were kind of square and some were like Easter eggs. She also left a huge gap between cuticles and finger nails. This time the gal must have filed and grinded the nails 10 times. Not exaggerating. Can't even tell I have on acrylics. My ring finger actually is longer then the nail. Despite me telling her multiple times they were to short. Not to mention how long it takes. I was easily there for an hour and a half for this terrible job. The paint is okay. While I should have pulled away and asked for the manager, I left without as much as a thank you after paying. I will not be coming back. Keep looking for somewhere better, don't waste your money. read more

I just moved to San Diego from IL and I thought it would take me forever to find someone as good as the nail tech I always went to for over 5yrs. Well I was shopping in the Del Mar area and I saw this salon, it looked clean and beautiful on the inside and it was very busy so I asked if they could do a full set and what the price was and it was a better price than I paid in IL and she was able to fit me in with Stephanie. I was very nervous cause I had the same nail tech for over 5yrs but Stephanie did a better job then my previous nail tech and she gave me the best oval shape I've ever had and the color was perfect! We were able to chat and I was able to understand her and I've been going back ever since and I drive all the way from Vista to see Stephanie. read more

Looking for a nail salon that provides excellent quality service? Glamour nails is not for you. My wife had a nail dip for $55.00, and within a week it was peeling and chipping. At ten days it was a total mess. Manager/owner Holly told my wife that Glamour Nails does not guarantee any nail procedure will last any amount of time and insisted I pay to have my nails fixed and offered a nominal discount. The dip procedure is supposedly one of the most durable nail processes and deterioration after one week is unacceptable. My perception is Holly's motivation is to make maximum profit. Quality of service and customer care is secondary. read more

Terrible manicure. Chipped the next day. Holly asked me to return to re-do. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

Loved the job that Kelly did today. I no longer live in the área but i was completely happy with the service I received today! Thanks, Glamour Nails & Happy New Year! read more

If I could give 0, I would. I am so disappointed. I literally cried on my way home. I have never been so disappointed with my nails before. I went first time here to get my nails done, then the nails were all bumpy and everything so I called them to get it fixed. They fixed it the next day, the design was great I loved it. Then it started to break off on the 3rd day then on the 5th day. I went back to get my nails done again 5 TIMES!! On the last time, tiffany was rushing me, I had an appointment @4:30. I couldn't pick a color because I was pressured to pick a color so I just went with a pink. I understand that she had other appointments too, but I wanted the initial design that I received from the beginning. She said she doesn't do designs and has other appointments. I called them that I was disappointed, but they said they didn't charge me for design and they refilled my whole nails for free. As if I should pay for getting a bad nail that doesn't even last for a WEEK!!!???? I get my nails done at other places and they would last for 4 weeks, I don't do anything excessive either so they shouldn't even be falling off for not even a WEEK!!! I am so disappointed, I will not be coming back. I really wanted to like this place, because it seems so nice. I even gave a tip even though I was so angry. Please, do yourself a favor and save your time. I wasted 5 days to come back and fort to this place. I am a very busy person. So plsss do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I will not be coming back!!! read more

This was my first time getting a pedicure and Linda was so detailed and thorough with it. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she did it the exact way. The inside was clean and although everyone was busy they all greeted us as we walked in. Linda took her time with the massage and pedicure and really made it worth the experience. She also made sure to tell me the price in the beginning which I appreciated, and checked with me throughout the process to ensure I liked the shape, cut, and color. Would definitely be coming back! read more

Service is always bad. Location is convenient so I end up coming here. Always regret the decision. Talking to the front lady is so difficult. Today I was given a new person. I came out with two cuts which were bleeding and it painful. There might be few good people and you have to know names and be regular with them here. Otherwise please don't go if you want a good experience and service. read more

This place is always busy. Owner has about 5 shops, so she knows what's she's doing. The massage chairs are good and the place is clean. Lots of color options for gel. Prices are typical for the area. My total was $64 total for taking off my acrylic, and doing regular pedi and gel mani. They offer you bottled water and/or soda I believe. I didn't give more stars because the woman who did my pedicure could have done a more thorough job cleaning up the skin around my toes and was too light with her touch on the foot massage. I should have said something, but I didn't. read more

My favorite salon! All of the workers are super friendly and work super hard! They make sure to get an appointment for every person who walks in the door. Stacy is incredible at what she does! I see her every two weeks and knows exactly what I like! Today I made a mistake by scheduling work an hour after my nail appointment and was worried I was going to be late to work. Stacy did my nails flawlessly in 30 minutes without making any mistake! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Save yourself a lot of time and money and skip this place. I went yesterday to get a gel manicure and spa pedicure before a wedding. The lady doing my pedicure sped through it, spending no longer than 10 minutes. No massage, nothing. When the polish dried, it was clumpy and looked awful. I have never asked to get my nails redone and this was the first time I ever did. For $33 dollars for a spa pedicure, I expect at least the product to look good. The man doing my gel manicure was nice but it's messy. Some nails have less polish, there's polish on my skin, and it looks like a job I could've done myself. Terrible experience for so much money spent. read more

Absolutely horrible experience. The tech who did my manicure was rough and most unprofessional I've ever encountered. She did a terrible nail job, was rude to my the entire time, made me bleed and was condescending when I asked her to treat the cut before she proceeds with the rest of the manicure. She put on cuticle remover on my cut and said "this will stop it" I said what is it that you're using? she said "you don't know it's for salon use" I said I need and alcohol pad to treat it, I'm prone to infection. She says "infection doesn't happen". I said I have seen patients with infection happening just like this and she said " no, no infection happens". I'm a doctor, I should know how infection happens! But she ignored me. She didn't provide me with that small alcohol pad I asked for and proceeded with doing my nails in that rough manner. The worst part was how the owner was right there and didn't react to how upset I was at all. She didn't ask how things were or try to make anything better, even though she witnessed the whole thing. Had she approached me or let me explain to her what has happened, I wouldn't leave this review as mishaps and not-very-good techs exist everywhere. But with that management, I had to write this so everyone knows if they encounter a bad tech, they will be ignored and there is nothing anyone would do for them there. Not going back there. read more

This place is easy to get into and convenient. Apple has done all of my services here and she is a gem. I am very satisfied with her work! I absolutely loved my pedicure and she does a nice job on gel nails too. Very detail oriented and clean. I do have to say, they are super busy and it's not the tightest of ships. The lady who runs it can be very short and not the kindest. That rubs me the wrong way... However, all in all this is a good nail shop in Del Mar. read more

Terrible, It's really not hit or miss here. It's just miss. 150$ ( gel manicure and pedicure) and Two hours later my nails look horrible! Check out the pinky and the edges. They are all like that with a Thick, breaking, unfinished look. It was even suggested I should file my own nails since they couldn't get them right. Then they complained about me the entire time in Vietnamese ( as if I couldn't understand tone). I am a pretty patient person and I have been a loyal customer for YEARS! Not any more. read more

It was my best friends birthday... and we needed to get our nails done before the party. The place I usually go to is on Mira Mesa blvd and they are truly amazing and they do a great job and the nail techs really care. I called to make an appointment and we couldn't get in because they were booked. So we made an appointment here. When I tell you the tech who did my nails didn't care about how my nails looked or doing a good job. I mean it. I went for a fill. And my acrylics are very long, And this is what happened. She filed my nails down at the bottoms throughout the nail and literally didn't put any acrylic on top! And painted over it! I was on my phone and distracted. And just truly did not have time to get them taken off and re done. Like unbelievable. And I felt like she really just didn't care about doing a good job for me and just wanted to hurry my service up. I know my nails are long. I normally tip 20$ no matter what. But seriously... this was the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. I'm very disappointed. My nails are uneven. And she didn't shape them. Like they are just as dull as they were when I walked in. As I way paying she had this shady vibe she was giving off like she was guilty... I feel bad for her to be honest because I'm not sure why anyone would do that... or if she's going through something... i don't know. But every time I look at my nails I get really sad. My nails are truly a big deal to me, so it just really bothers me. Especially this place being in Carmel valley I'd expect it to be atleast a little decent. My nails are thin and literally bending. This is seriously unbelievable. read more
