Hello Bella accommodated my last minute request for an appointment as a new customer. Tuan provided my mani/pedi and was thorough, careful, efficient, and gave a lengthy, deep massage. My nails look and feel fabulous! You can find lower prices, but the service here was well worth the moderate cost. They take their time and do it right. read more

Honestly, I hate to write bad reviews but this was warranted. I got my nails and toes done with gel x and within 5 days the gel was splitting and cracking off. Within 2 weeks of the manicure and pedicure all the gel came off all my nails and toes. The gel was poor quality and was peeling off my nails and toes far too quickly. I was always told that gel x stays on for at least a month and this didn't say on for 1 week. read more

The ONLY nail salon place I go to! Ask for Toan or Tony! Customer service 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Quality 10/10 I always call to make an appt. I've been coming here for years. Everyone here is so friendly. The service is very personable- they actually care about their clients. I've observed during my appt and see that they build professional relationships with everyone. Toan works on my gel manicure. The shape is always perfect and the paint is all even. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to this and he gets it right every time. Tony does an amazing job manicure/pedicure ALL THE TIME too! He is very detail oriented. Massage is great and much needed with my athletic hobbies. Tiffany is GREAT. She's always upbeat and friendly. She usually works on fills and stuff. Sometimes she'll work on me if the others aren't available. LOVE her quality of work. Gel color / manicure, ask for Toan Pedicure, ask for Tony read more

My friends and I decided to do a walk-in and got attended to immediately. The staff at this salon are extremely sweet and fun to talk to. 2-3 hours easily felt like no time as they did a great job at making us feel welcome! I had such a pleasant experience getting acrylics for the first time. They do simple designs but they do it very nicely! The prices came out to be less expensive than typical nail salons so it is definetly worth. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. read more

The gentleman who is the husband is very nice to everyone! Goes around offering snacks and water to everyone. After I received my pedicure and I was waiting for my nails to dry he came by and turned on the massage again. I thought that was very sweet of him. He even gave me a red rose because he bought some from someone who was selling them. read more

Hello Bella consistently delivers high quality work and the folks that run it are extremely friendly and diligent. It is a family business with two husband-wife teams, the wives are sisters. All four have a pride of ownership in the work. I can count on great work whenever I come in. It easy to get an appointment and they keep the appointment time and work on hands and feet simultaneously. I recommend making an appointment because it's just them. read more

Great and fast service, with extremely friendly staff! I love how fast & efficient they are, plus they always understand what designs I want for my nails. During Christmas I brought in super cute Mickey nail stickers, & they made me look super cute! It is extremely easy to get an appointment here, plus they're very efficient with their time. You can always count on someone working on your feet & hands together. I definitely recommend! The only thing I would say is, it seems like their gel isn't that great quality, so it definitely does chip no matter how many times I place it into the UV/LED light, it literally chipped from the bottom the next day, which is fine because they still did a great job. I also only get French manicures, so I can't speak for very detailed designs. read more

They truly took care of me here. I have never felt more relaxed and at ease. I got a Royal Pedicure, with amazing smelling scrubs, and lotions.

Thank you to the friendly staff, I appreciate your hard work. read more

Like many others, finding a consistently good nail salon had been a challenge... Until I stepped into Hello Bella. From that point on, Hello Bella became my go-to nail place. I'm quite easy when it comes to a manicure -- trim/shape and slather on some gel, please. No designs, but maybe an additional color or two to change things up :) I prefer to call for appointments to make sure I get in/out on time. Everybody that I've met and worked on my nails has been great, but I request Tony/Ivy for the manicures just because they have coincidentally been the ones usually working on my hands. If your favorite tech isn't available, I wouldn't worry too much because everyone is very skilled and meticulous at Hello Bella. Parking has never been a problem for me, either. (Hello Bella is located in the same plaza as The Godfather) Before the pandemic, they used to hand out bottles of water and packs of rice crackers, which was a nice touch due to how long your nails might take. Tiffany and everyone remembers their customers, and they remember the friends you bring, too. read more

I desperately needed my toes trimmed and made an appointment to see Tiffany . I was worried about my toe nail that curled. She was very kind, and assured it was nothing to worry about. I chose from the menu basic pedicure which was $30. She sat down and clipped them, cleaned them and buffed my hard callused heals until they were gone. All was left was nice, gleaming toes and heals. Her technique was gentle and she gave my calves a nice massage. Would definitely go back again. Definitely worth going to see Tiffany again. Maybe next time I will try to add some picture art. It only costs $5. I think I found my new nail salon in the future. The only drawback is that they are cash based. They do not accept credit cards. read more

Omg I found my new favorite and go-to salon. I've been living in San Diego for ten years so I've been to most every popular salon there is but this will be my new go-to place. What makes them stand out? Well the place is clean but the three MAIN things for me of why I will be loyal to them from now on are as follows 1. Everyone was super sweet and kind and nice. ZERO pressuring at all. A girl (who is very obviously a regular bc the staff was so pumped to see her) came in with her friend and said "I'm doing both mani and pedi but don't feel pressure" and the owner (actually not sure bc she was also doing nails) chimed in and said "Absolutely!! Get whatever you want, no pressure at all!!" and I was floored by her genuine kindness and sweetness 2. ZERO wait time. I called on my way, they said that I could be seen in 15 minutes. Walked in and sat RIGHT in a massage chair (which BTW was incredible) 3. THE QUALITY!!!! I love the quality of my nails, but plus the foot/leg massage from Ann made me want to die of happiness and relaxation. And I only got the spa package and it was hands down the best massage I've ever had Seriously, don't waste your time at other places. SO many regulars came in and the staff was so kind and welcoming to everyone. They even talked up their regulars to me (ex: I now know that one regular cuts and colors her own hair! The technician was gushing to me about how talented she is!). Seriously the sweetest, my money is well spent here read more

Came in on a Tuesday @ noon. As a walk in... the owner was able to get me seated ASAP! No waiting @ all. There were six techs in the shoppe when I walked in and four were already engaged. Pedi * Nail Tech: Ivy. This is the very first time I ever dipped my feet in the tub and the water temp was PERFECT! We all know the feeling of uncomfortable water temp, LoL! I wanted regular polish and Ivy didn't attempt to up-sale my choice. I totally appreciated her for that. She was very gentle with handling my sensitive feet;-) At the end, she pulled out her brush and cleaned the polish. Awesome attn to detail!!! Mani * Nail Tech: Kim. I initially wanted a design but decided when she was trying to do the first line to just keep it simple and leave it for the natural look even if she sd she could do it. But, she made me change my mind when I saw her challenged w/ drawing the lines on the 1st mail. Lastly, she didn't soak off the gel, but used the drill;-( She drilled it pretty deep since it burned when she laid the gel on. May not come back when I come home to visit... maybe on the lookout for another nail salon. read more

### WHAT YOU WANT TO READ ### Great nail salon with great and reasonable prices, with even more great and fantastic employees. You cannot go wrong with any of their techs but for acrylic, see Tiffany; for nail art, see Anne. Currently, COVID-19 rules are in place at Hello Bella, such as plexiglass separators and proper mask-wearing (both employees and clients). For weekends- though they take walk-ins, I highly recommend calling a few days in advance to book an appointment as weekends are their busiest times, especially if a weekend falls on a holiday. FYI: THEY ARE CLOSED ON MONDAYS NOW. ### DETAILS BELOW ### I have L I T E R A L L Y been going here for over 2 years now (however, I did take a hiatus last year since my nails needed a break from acrylic). I am back again now that COVID-19 restrictions are slowly being lifted, and my nails have taken a well-deserved rest. Like many have mentioned in their reviews, I have returned every single time because of their employees and nail technicians. I probably have had my nails done by almost every one of them, with Tiffany taking the lead as she specializes in acrylic nails. Alongside Tiffany, you have Tony, Anne, Ivy, Lisa, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting. All of them are so friendly and accommodating. I never feel awkward and I see them as my "Aunties" and "Uncle." Might be a cultural thing, but the point here is that they make you feel welcomed! My most recent visit was just this morning (5/30/2021). I've been eyeing a specific nail design. I don't know what the correct, official name for it, but it's a play on abstract nail art and negative spaces using swirls. I specifically requested Anne for this appointment as she does well with nail art. She did say she has had other clients ask a similar design, so I was confident she was going to ~N A I L~ (hah, get it?!) my request The whole process took a little over an hour, with the actual design being the most technical part of it. I usually go for the classic french manicure/french tip, but this look turned out to be so regal and elegant, that even one of the ladies in there asked if she could see it, too! I'm IN LOVE with how my nails turned out, all thanks to Anne and her precise skills. The hand/arm massage is always so nice, too. Can't wait to come back in a few weeks; I will likely book with Anne again and try out another "nail experiment." :-D read more

Definitely time to update my review :) Hello Bella is still my fave go-to for nails. They are always courteous, super easy to talk to and work with, and remember their customers. I got my first gel manicure in about 6 months and Tiffany did a beautiful job. They practice all safety and health protocols and it was nice and cool inside (it was hot out). The hand massage was also great and came with the manicure and I almost fell asleep with how relaxing it was haha. Thanks for the lovely manicure as always and see you next time read more

The services were so amazing and out of my expectation. I was so stress when finding a nail salon in San Diego where has a lot of salons out there but luckily I found my own now. Tony did a careful piece of my nail. They do not rush at all I mean like they just want to do everything perfect for their customers. Funny bunny is so hard to do but he still did amazing. I booked a deluxe pedicure also. A lady - actually I dont remember Kelly or Holly, who has the outstanding in massage skill. She took time over a half for massaging my calf and foot. OMG I almost sleep during the massage. They do not recommend me do more than my requested. Respect and highly recommend. read more

I'm actually disappointed in this nail salon. I read really good reviews, but my nails didn't come out as well as they should of. plus the price on the board stated 19.00 for a manicure with gel and I was charged 29.00. After 3 days my nails started piecing off. and you can still see my actual nail under the gel. that should not be showing. its like she was being lazy and didn't want to do another layer. let me say that these were my wedding nails. so here I am in St. Maarten with chipped nails for my wedding. Ugh im getting upset just thinking about it. I mean 29.00 that was definitely a rip off. I wont be back. PS. they do have really good customer service, but the nail tech who did my nails needs to try again. read more

This is my go-to spot to get my nails & toes done. I've also brought my friends here a couple of times for a little group nail spa day. I've generally had a good experience here and Tiffany is always so nice and accommodating! I don't do anything fancy, just your gel nails and regular toes, so I don't request any specific person, but often end up with Tony or Tiffany. I've seen some of Tiffany's design art on her clients, and they're always so pretty! One day, I'll splurge for that if I need something a little extra for my nails. So for my most recent visit, I actually tried to call them yesterday, not realizing they're closed on Tuesday (yelp hours are incorrect). They called me back this morning (2/1) & they were able to squeeze me for a gel Mani and basic Pedi later in the day. My appointment was at 330pm, I had Tony doing my regular pedi (basic spa service) and Tiffany doing my gel manicure. Even though I had an old coat on my toes and nails from a few weeks ago, I was out of there within the hour! The last 10-15 minutes was just me taking advantage of their massage chairs. They were done in about 45 min, and let me hang out for a bit. I'm happy with the results, and will definitely be back in the near future. read more

It was fast an easy to get an appointment. I had a friendly welcome by the staff. This was my first time getting a mani pedi done and I felt very unsure and uncomfortable (this is just how I am as a person) but it went well! For my feet I wanted French tips with regular polish. The pedicure part was not pleasant for me. For my feet, I have very low pain threshold so the nail polish removal part (I had a very difficult to remove nail polish with glitter flakes) was painful when the cotton repeatedly abraded my skin as were the cuticle trimming (a bit too much was cut off from one toe) and nail filing (the file rubbed over my skin enough to leave a tiny raw spot that stung every time a chemical touched it. But it all came out very beautiful and my feet are softer than they ever had been in the last 10 years! For the manicure part, everything quickly and smoothly. I wanted gel polish for my fingers. Also French tipped manicure but also with a silver line. I showed the technican and photo and she nailed the look. During the process, both technicians asked how I like the look and were open to any changes to wanted. Friendly, fast service, beautiful work, and difficult to beat prices! I would recommend this place to others. read more

I am super glad that my friend found this nail salon to get mani and pedis. We had an impromptu pamper day and they were able to squeeze both of us in on a Saturday at 1pm. We showed up thirty minutes early and they sat me first and then had my friend join right after another available pedicurist was available. They thanked us for waiting and handed both of us a water bottle and rice crackers. Tony did my toes and he did an amazing job. He was super detailed and was very friendly. I didn't catch the name of the lady who did my nails but she was extremely personable and was extremely nice the whole time. I will definitely return and I highly recommend coming to this place. read more

On a last min phone call my friend and I decided to get pampered. We found Hello Bella Nails as it's between both of our locations. I booked us 2 pedicures and I also wanted a manicure. It was perfect as it is close to the freeway exit and in the heart of some amazing foodie spots. The staff was so warm and friendly. As soon as we walked in they had everything set up. Tiffany and Toan assisted me. Although it was Toan's first day at this locations he is more than qualified as he had his own shop in Pb until good old covid changed his plans. Toan's did my pedicure and Tiffany did my manicure. My friend had the wonderful Ann for her pedicure and Tony was assisting another customer. We had friendly conversation about the upcoming Super Bowl. Their expertise made time fly by. We both were so relaxed and beyond pleased with the results. We wished we both didn't have so many restrictions on our nails or we could have experience some of their unique expert designs. The shop is small and cozy. A boba shop is of soon and it is next too a restaurant and other business. The parking lot had amble parking at 5pm. Overall we had a wonderful experience and will be back. The staff and quality of work for our gel nails was great. Thanks again for all you do. I am sure you have plenty of men, women and children make them feel as beautiful/handsome outside as they feel inside. read more

I'm so glad I found Hello Bella. In general, it's hard to find a nail salon that provides good service, much less one that is also affordable. This place is a real gem! One week later, and my pedicured feet still look as good as when they were just done. For only $19, they did an excellent basic spa pedicure that went above my expectations. First, they gave me a bottle of water and a package of rice crackers as a snack. Then, they never rushed me the way other busy nail salons often do. The best part was the 5-minute foot massage that came with the pedicure. Usually places will rush through this was like a minute, but here they kept going and going. I was really pleasantly surprised. When my nail technician finished, she did not rush me to leave my chair and let me sit on it while my toe nails dried. My technician did a great job with shaping, filing, and painting my toe nails. In addition to the good service by the nail technician, I found the massaging chairs here to be one of the best I've ever had a nail salon. Even though they look old and cracked the chairs were unusually effective as they went deep to work out my back muscles. I hope they never have to replace these pedicure chairs! You need to call ahead for an appointment but it was pretty easy to get one same day when I called in the morning. For a mani-pedi combo it's only $30. It's located in a mini mall next to the Godfather restaurant, and there is plenty of parking. I'll definitely return! read more
