Came in for an acrylic nail removal, the staff here was so kind and gentle taking care to make sure I was okay as my nails were brittle after acrylics from another salon. Friendly and engaging atmosphere, you can tell they really care for their clients. Would love to go again next time! read more

I had been looking for a new nail salon for quite a while when I found Golden Nails and Amy. I have long acrylic nails and I need somewhere to have them filled on a regular basis. I stopped by Golden Nails one day to inquire about their prices and was greeted by Amy. It's was obvious to me that she values her customers so I decided to give her a try. I just finished having my nails filled and I'm very happy with the way she did them. The price was very reasonable and she actually LISTENED to how I like them done. I am so happy to have found this place! They are in my neighborhood and their prices are very reasonable. Amy does a beautiful job! read more

I really wanted to like Amy's work because she had so many great reviews but I guess I got her on a bad day .. I went in hoping to get dip powder but she suggested doing acrylic for a more "natural" look so I decided to give it a go & I really regret it. The acrylic she laid on my nails was very lumpy & uneven. I asked for a square shape & had to fix it myself when I got home. I paid $65 ($60 service $5 tip) for a manicure that truly left me unhappy. I'd like to believe that maybe the 5 star reviews are from clients that go in for gel or regular polish mani/pedis. She's a very kind person I won't discredit her for that, but overall I would not recommend. *side note: they have a sign posted on the front door stating that they are by appointment only read more

AMY IS GREAT! She is so sweet and Kind. Probably one of the most gentle people I have ever had do my nails. She's easy to talk to and I definitely plan on going back! If you go here, I absolutely recommend her! She's now my new nail lady since I'm new to town. I tried three places before I finally found this one.!! She did an amazing French tip manicure on me. read more

Open Sundays! I called at 5:26pm arrived eight minutes later and the lady took me right on in. $25 for number 3 spa pedi including French tips. I felt guilty because it was late, they were about to close but stayed open just for me. I'm sure they wanted to go home, so I told the lady I changed my mind about French and wanted to get color instead, she insisted it was OK and gave me my French tips she even offered a design but I just wanted to get home. If you're in a jam and need a quick pedi call Golden's. They're friendly, polite and provide sufficient service in a an efficient amount of time. read more

First timer. Came in Saturday morning around 10:30am. No appointment. Just walked in. I was the only customer. First impression, it's not the nicest place. Wasn't the cleanest either. There was a TV but it wasn't on. There were only 2 women working. There was calming music on, but for some reason one of the workers turned it off & proceeded to play music off YouTube from her phone. After I picked my gel color they later told me they actually didn't have it, so that was the first bummer. As I was waiting 2 more customers came in. Since there was only 2 women working they both kept jumping between all 3 of us leaving someone or sometimes 2 people waiting for a good while. One of the workers even handed one of the other customers a cotton ball to remove her own nail polish as the worker walked away to do something else. As far as quality, I could tell that the lady who did my manicure rushed. She put the UV light on top of a pillow on top of my lap, & had me hold it as she jumped back & forth between her customers. No protective 1st coat, so the gel peeled off within the first week. Wasn't the nicest pedi, but I still appreciated it. I could tell the quality of their products isn't as good as most salons. I paid $25 for a gel mani, & $25 for a deluxe pedi (which is the 2nd to cheapest level they offer). You know that feeling when you walk out of the salon & you're feeling good 'cause you got your nails done proper? Well, I didn't feel like that walking out of here. Granted both workers were very nice, but I won't be coming back due to the wait time & uncomfortable environment. read more

I went in this morning and got a mani/pedi. It was my first time here and I am in love with this place. The people there were so nice and gentle and really took their time on my nails. They came out great! I will keep coming back to this place and recommend it to others. read more

I can't understand why this place has a 4 star rating. Seriously the worst service ever. I came in and there was only one other customer. I asked politely if they had time to do my nails if not ok. The lady working called in reinforcements. However this woman was a complete idiot. I told her repeatedly what I wanted and she just sat there doing her thing and not comprehending what I was saying. I asked for my nails to be in a point. Claw like. She struggled with this. I asked for her to fix the sizing issues, yet every nail is a different size. Not to mention the sample color I requested looks nothing like what they put on my nails. Ridiculous. I would never recommend this place. I am beyond unsatisfied with my service. I say stay clear of this horrible place! read more

I see Anna every 2 weeks for a mani and pedi. She dies a fabulous job every time. I've followed her for the past 15 years. I'll never let anyone else touch my nails. She keeps up with all the new trends. You won't be disappointed:) read more

Went there one week ago and got a gel manicure. The gel is lifting on almost all my nails and peeling back a lot on one of my nails. Chipped a little piece off another nail. I work mostly at a desk only a few days a week and I am not rough with my hands/ nails so I am very disappointed that they look horrible now. read more

Duong took her time with my pedi and did a great job. Most places like to do a rush job so it was nice to find a place where they pay attention to detail. First time here but would definitely come back. Only downfall was there was only one person here so I had to wait about 20 minutes read more

Great place. Staff is super friendly and made me feel very welcomed. They listen to what u want and are very gentle. I walked in at 7:20 and they still took me in. I left at 8:30 extremely satisfied. read more

The ladies here are jewels. Just moved to Vista and am very grateful to have already found a pedi/threading/waxing salon. They are thorough and gentle. Had my first threading on upper lip and neck area...MIND BLOWN how effective it was! Great pedi with leg massage. Wanted to stay and sleep the afternoon away there! read more

When I walked in it wasn't very buys, so I figured it would be quick and easy. I only wanted a manicure and pedicure, so it would be in and out right? Well I sat down and first the water was scalding, I asked for it to be a little cooler and I don't think she understood because she insisted I dip my feet in the way-too-hot-water. The woman who started on my manicure was very friendly, she was possibly the owner because she was the only one who spoke English. She started on my nails and then started doing something else. So a guy came over and started doing my nails in her place. He was quiet, and worked quickly. After the whole ordeal, all I can say is that it was complete crap. He didn't remove all my nail polish from before, filed my nails unevenly and kept forgetting to do things. (I.E soak nails before manicure begins, cuticle cream, base coat etc...) I will never go there again....and neither should you! BEWARE!!! read more

This is definitely one of my favorite nail spots in vista. The women were so kind and sweet and are 100% about customer service. They even let my dog sit with me and gave him water! My mani/pedi felt and STILL looks amazing! Will definitely be visiting here again! read more
