    two gel manicures. One mint color and one olive color.
    Samee K.

    We made a reservation but walk-ins are probably okay too since it's not that busy. We went on a Friday but it wasn't busy at all. The lady doing my nails was kind and sweet. My friend ended up getting hers done faster even though we both got gel manicures. It depends who does your nails but generally it takes 40 minutes. Very calm and quiet. I almost slept while the lady massaged my arms afterwards. Recommend for simple but clean gel manicures. Price is also reasonable.

    Mike is the best! He is an expert at every genre of nail designs. He surprises me every time I go in. Best nail spot!!

    Mike shapes your desired nail perfectly!

    I live 45 mins away & continue to make the drive to this salon for a reason. This is the only salon where I get a dip manicure that lasts up to 3+ weeks without a chip in sight! Mike takes the absolute best care of my nails & they have never grown consistently long before coming here. I have tried every nail salon in my hometown & nothing compares to the quality and service you receive at this nail salon. It's also quiet, clean, and relaxing. It's a bit pricier (only by a few more dollars) than other salons I've been too but it's definitely worth it considering the quality of the manicure. Oh & the cooking show on the TV is a plus for me. (p.s. I try not to let them grow for that long but sometimes it's hard to squeeze the drive in my schedule haha)

    Bleeding cuticles I hope they threw those tools away and didn't try to use them on anyone else.

    Only go here for a manicure if you want your cuticles nicked and left bleeding. unfortunately I had to leave at least 1 star for others to see this review. I thought we were getting good service but I was very wrong. 2 things happened here that affected our first time visit very wrong. 1. My son got a manicure and they clipped his cuticles too short on 4 DIFFERENT fingers and they were all bleeding. The technician didn't say anything to me and my son thought that was a normal experience since this was his first mani. 2. I got a gel pedicure and my big toe is square shaped on 1 foot and rounded on the other. VERY disappointed. Never going back. I should have been offered a refund for the mani at least.

    Well it's been 3 days since going to Healthy Nails and getting my nails done by Mike. They are absolutely perfect I am so grateful!! He is really really good. I still cannot believe how they look and the way he did it so quickly despite having to do several coats of the nail dip and the tip! Oh my gosh I've been to so many places and never left totally happy since typically something ...something is not right. Even true price point!! It's super affordable for what you will be receiving. T thank you Mike and my beautiful friend Mishelle for telling me about going. I will rave about my nails and tell them to go to Mike!!

    Dip with style

    SNS dip nails by Mike and gel pedicure by Harry

    I walked in on a Sunday and was taken right away / the owner Mike did my dip nails and Harry did a fantastic gel pedicure. Both had an incredible attention to detail, were super friendly, and made this mama of three feel super relaxed. The salon is so clean and beautiful with so many color options. I'll definitely be back!

    Y'all guess the color I'm gonna get

    Hands down, this is a ....actually pause, let me rephrase. This is the most gorgeous nail salon I have ever been to. I was in awe the moment I walked in. So clean, did not have any strong smell, comfy chairs, lovely look & ambiance. We had scheduled appointments and there was not a wait on a Sunday afternoon after brunch. They took us right away for our mani/pedi's..keep in mind it was (3) of us girlies so for them to just take us right away, no questions asked, no wait at around 12PM, was like HEY GIRL HEY, amazing, right? The pricing..now I am not someone who gets my nail's done anymore, I've been out of the game for some time, so I could not tell you what is "cheap" or "expensive" when it comes to quality mani/pedi's at such a gorgeous spa...however, my mama gets her nails done all the time and she would be the first person to say "oh not uhh...we are not getting our nails done here", but instead she did not. Her response "they are actually really reasonable!" Wow, what do ya know. So...for being in a ) La Jolla b) super pretty spa c) again, La Jolla..they are not pricey. The only reason I gave them a 3 is because the gentleman who did my pedicure, as he was buffing my nails, keep in mind he had just opened a crisp and very sharp nail buffer w/ the edges..he began to saw away on the top of my toenails only to slice my big toe from edge to edge. It was very deep and very thick of a slice. I immediately bled..so much. The gentleman, whom seemed nice, just kept asking me if I was diabetic because I was bleeding so much...I kept reassuring him, I am not (actually no one in my family even has a hx of diabetes) but anyways, I kept saying no. He was shocked he could not stop the bleeding.. but it was like HONEY, YOU SLICED ME SO BADLY. ANYONE WOULD BE BLEEDING THIS MUCH. Long story short, the cut took a full 2 weeks to heal and it looked awful. I needed to wear a bandaid for pretty much the whole time and now the pedicure is worn out. So I did not really get to enjoy it. Shucks. I would just recommend to go a little slower and be a little more careful. ALSO, I wish they would have had a cleaning antibacterial agent right away. They did not. They simply just used the green "stop bleeding" glue to "cover it up". sigh. I made sure to keep it clean once I got home and take care of it correctly. UP SIDE - They offered so many gorgeous colors. I went with my fave, neon gel for my nails and let me tell you, that was pretty. It lasted about 2 weeks total (I wash my hands all day w/ my job/lifestyle) Point is...I would get gel again for my fingers, but I am scared to get my toes done ever again. That was so scary and it hurt so badly for the first 24 hours.

    Solid place to get your nails done. It is fairly new, so when I came on a Sunday afternoon we were the only customers. It was easy to make an appointment and get seated. Usually the places I go to are more popular so I end up having to wait for a while! I did not get the name of the lady who did my nails, but she was methodical and careful with her work. I don't have any complaints with how she shaped my nails and cut them. Since they are a newer salon, I found that they had a much newer variety of colors. They had a lot more colors that were "on trend" then the other older places I've been. Overall, if you are in the area and want to be pampered I'd recommend stopping by!

    Regular pedicure

    Im not trying to be hostile or spiteful but this is one of the worst mani pedi experiences and results I think I have ever had. I told them not to cut my nails, but just to file and every single one of my toes was cut and then filed into this bizarre round shape. I was also burned with a hot towel several times. It took them about 4 tries to get the colors that I asked for even though they were numbered. Additionally I find the result to be pretty messy, the gel is uneven, and they all around don't look very good. The employees were nice, the music is pleasant. I don't think it's particularly clean. I would not recommend.

    Spa Pedicure!

    I got a French manicure here, and I loved it. Very reasonable prices considering that this is in downtown La Jolla.

    A little over a month ago I was doing some online research trying to learn about the differences…read morebetween waxing and sugaring. I was interested in something a little less painful lol. I decided to check out sugaring, it seems to be a more natural approach and from what I read less painful because it doesn't pull your skin it just pulls the hair. The sugaring place popped up on my instagram and I figured I'd give it a shot. They were very helpful when I wanted to make an appointment. Appointment day came and the place was really nice, I was greeted by Ariana, she was very friendly, I explained I was a little nervous but she did everything possible to put me at ease. She walked me through the process and it honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. One month later I came back for my maintenance visit Ariana was my sugarista (idk if that's an actual word but it sounds cool) this time was less painful and quicker as well! I did accept the offer of a glass of wine while I waited for my appointment so that might have helped lol. Either way I am very happy with my results and would definitely recommend over waxing.

    The customer service here is horrible. I requested a cancelation May 30 2025. Sabrina confirmed I…read moreneeded to give a 30-day notice, which would put the cancellation for June 2025. I am still being charged (Feb 2026) even though there have been many attempts to correct this by phone and email. Someone from the office called me Jan 9th. They apologized but took no action to correct and I was charged after the phone call. I suggest you do not sign up for the membership - they will keep charging you.
