Only been here twice but have been very impressed each time. My sis & I went here got our pedicures done by Tanya & Tina. They do such a good job of cleaning the nails, really scrub your feet & massage good. Not to mention their skills with designs/nail art are very nice. The whole place is very clean & I like their interior designs. It's very calming and relaxing. There is also so many gel books to look at when you first enter. I also appreciate how kind the staff are. We got paraffin and they kept asking us if it's too hot because they don't want to burn our feet. I would give five stars but I have yet to get a manicure here in the future! read more

Holiday Nail & Spa - Nail art - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

I had a great experience 3 weeks ago here. I had walked by it and didn't go in. But thankful I finally did! The place is very clean and great beautifully decorated! My manicure with Tanya was great, she was friendly and professional! I am going back this afternoon and will post pictures read more

Today was my second visit to Holiday Nail Salon & Spa. It was truly a wonderful experience. Tanya did my pedicure. She was personable, friendly and skilled. The shop is clean, doesn't smell like chemicals and has some great music playing. Tanya even hummed to some tunes while she was working on me. Nice to be surrounded by people who love what they do. I really need to ask myself why I don't do things like this more oven. read more

You won't find a nicer nail salon in Escondido. Diana is truly an artist, talented, friendly, professional and kind. Did I mention gentle? She's the best. The entire staff are top notch. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for 25 years and absolutely love them. Lisa is my go to gal, but Tonya, Lee and daughter Diana are all wonderful! I can't believe I haven't written a review for them before! I love this place :) read more

So glad I found Holiday Nail! I'm VERY particular about my nails and customer service and this place is pretty close to how I imagine being treated as a customer. Only thing I suggest is that they say hi when customers walk in, I notice sometimes I'll go a few minutes without a proper greeting. Other than that, I go to Diana for my gel mani. She's focused on helping customers maintain their natural nails and is very knowledgeable in the natural nail space. She is also VERY talented. If you have a nail design in mind she can execute. She also keeps good conversation which is enjoyable. I don't know her name, but there is a lady who does my pedicures, she is always very friendly, takes her time and paints pretty flowers on my toes lol. Diana's mom, I believe the co-owner of the shop, waxes my eyebrows. Also very friendly and when I don't make an appointment to come in she almost always finds time to squeeze me in. Make reservations. Overall, cute shop, clean shop, and would recommend! read more

this experience was not good at all they rushed on my nails and cut my cuticle too much that it started bleeding and then the guy proceeded to put nail glue on my open wound and then wiped it with a dirty nail towel and my nails didn't come out that good. read more

Lee is not the person to go to. Terrible attitude and service is worse. Reported to the better business bureau

Have gone three times now for manis and once for pedi. They are very nice staff. They do get busy so call for an appointment before you head. I was surprised how many people walked in and they were fully book however still let you know when they will be available. Pricing is very fair. Also their massages and hot towel massage are amazing. They are also very very clean and do follow OSHAS santitation policies! Def recommend !! read more

Not good service at all I called for pedicures prices, she told me $25 they do their pedicures only cutting nails if they clean the feet they will charge $8 more. I never see pedicures charing extra for cleaning the feet. I will never go their again. read more

This place was so so clean and cute! I did have to wait 25+ minutes to get seated (even though they had told me it was going to be 10 minutes). Once, I got seated the lady who helped me, Nancy, was a delight. She apologized for the wait which was a nice gesture. I'm definitely going to be coming back just for her! read more

I love this place. If you want natural looking acrylics, ask for Lee! Lee is one of their best nail technicians. He always give my nails the best shape and his work is flawless!!! He makes my nails thin and natural looking, which is the style I love and that I always ask for. He can do all sorts of shape, length, and thickness. He's very nice and accommodating to the needs of his clients. Sometimes I break my nails at work and he fixes them. I always ask for him and he always makes himself available for me. Awesome customer service! This salon also has a very hospitable team. They take walk ins and same day appointments-- even for a group of three for acrylic and pedicure! you just have to flex on the time they have available. Always very satisfied! read more

My coworker and I decided to go here after reading the reviews and realizing how close it is to our work. So we took our lunch breaks and decided to go! I called to schedule the appointment and that was super easy! We went in and were taken care of right away. First off, the shop was recently remodeled and absolutely adorable! Love the look and the feel of the place. I was lucky enough to have Diana take care of my gel manicure. She is super sweet and very detailed! She really did a great job. The mani was $25 and totally worth it. I'll definitely be coming back and asking for Diana! Schedule an appointment! read more

Initially, the staff was very nice. However, once I was finished with my full set service, I sat next to my friend who was not yet done and one of the employees made me leave the pedicure area to sit at the door. They were not full and there were plenty of open spaces so I was not in anyone's way. She was very rude about it. Additionally, I went to the grocery store the same night and TWO of my nails broke because the tech did them so thin. She put just enough acrylic to see it was there. A waste of $40 unfortunately. read more

Holiday Nail & Spa - Less than 24 hrs after my service - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

Nothing Special Just came out from a manicure. My first one in over a year and a half. And I wanted to make it special. So I made an appointment with Diane this morning for a manicure and pedicure for 3pm. I was really really looking forward to this appointment, I got there she informed me that she didn't have any time for my appointment and sorry. No explanation. I was super disappointed but she said Lee could do my nails. I'm sure Lee is a really nice guy and he does great gels and acrylics from what I hear in the reviews. I just felt like it was really rude to do that. Just my opinion. I see another review here with the exact same thing happening to another person. Makes me wonder. I ended up just getting a regular manicure, instead of a spa pedicure. I realize that it's just a regular mani and pedicure but it had the potential for a repeat customer that tips well for good customer service; which it won't be now. The entire event was nothing special with minimal interaction. Onward and upward. One more thing: I was shocked he was cutting my cuticles and scraping my nail bed after my nails had soaked less than a minute! Not cool. There's such a thing as healthy nail care, but maybe this has gone by the wayside with the invention of the "gel manicure ". Unfortunately even the "manicure" was unacceptable. read more

So looked at a lot of yelp reviews on nail salons in Escondido being as I just moved here from Oceanside reviews are important to me . So I chose to try holiday nail well I looked at all the pics of nail and loved the work in one pic it showed acrylic full set $ 25.00 well that's wrong it's $30.00 and a fill is $25.00 . Most of the women speak clear English and I love that but there to pricey for me. read more

I have been seeing Diana since February of this year. Every time she has done my nails I've loved them. I never used to get my nails done, but I keep coming back because I love how they look every single time. I have natural nails and Diana either does dip powder or gel when I come in. I've had her do simple nail art and it always comes out looking subtle and classy. 11/10 would recommend Diana and the team at Holiday Nails. read more

Tania did an amazing job with my nails. Love that she kept a convo with me during the visit and was nice and friendly. The staff even the ladies that were there getting pampered were friendly. Nice environment. Will be coming back since it's like 5 min away. read more

I have been going here for years as I live so close and I have become extremely disappointed with the downhill spiral in service. I called ahead and scheduled an appointment to have my nails done with Diana as she does probably the best nail art there. Upon getting there, I was told that even though I called ahead and she was marked down for me for my time slot, I could not have her so I obliged hoping that maybe it would get better. Spoiler alert: it did not. I went to someone else and upon showing him what I wanted, he said no and asked me if I wanted a single color. If I wasn't so defeated already, I would have just said never mind and went home at this point. But I continued to just let them do it. The manicure I got was lumpy on the ends of my nail and I was not impressed at all. Two years ago, I would have had much better service and I am very disappointed that I even had to experience this kind of service from here. I will not be coming back. read more

Holiday nails was great! I scheduled a mother daughter mani pedi for Mother's Day and it went wonderfully! We both got seated as soon as we got there, had awesome service and beautiful gel nails! This will be my new go to nail salon! read more

Very atmosphere. Its relaxing, unlike so many nail places that have so many stations and are packed and noisy. Professional, experienced people. read more

FYI- There prices have gone up here, $22 for pedicure plus $8 for callous. I think because they are all organic now and more specialized. They are good but I only need basic services nothing fancy. So finding a new place. read more

Love this place. SUPER CLEAN, which is my first requirement when getting a mani-pedi. They take appointments so you don't have to wait. I know they do walk-ins as well and see people get into a chair quickly. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great relaxing atmosphere with all the cleanliness. My favorite nail place in Escondido. read more

I have been coming to this salon for years and **always** get my nails done by Lee (The dad/owner) as he does gels - and does gels AWESOME! Lee is pretty funny once you get to talking to him... :) As far as the spa chairs to get your pedicure.... DO IT! Their chairs are awesome and every time I've sat in one for 20 minutes I feel I actually got a massage by a massage therapist! Not only that, but my legs after their treatments of lotions and potions and calf massage feel as soft as a baby's butt! Five stars! A hidden gem in North County for sure.... :) read more

Great service, friendly, respectful staff , great results clean definitely worth a visit

I was looking forward to writing a good review for Holiday Nail after my first trip there, but after this most recent one you can forget that. If you must go, request Anh. She's the youngest worker there and speaks perfect English - so you can carry on a conversation with her easily, which is nice! She's extremely talented as well. Last night was just insulting though, so much so that it will be a while before I go back here, if at all. Wanting to get my nails done before I finished my holiday shopping, I popped in. No appointment, but they welcome walk-ins and advertise it. After waiting for ten minutes or so, it looked like they were ready to take me when another customer came in. She said she had a 5:15 appointment and was "a bit early." (She was 20 minutes early, actually.) They took her first and kept me waiting! I did so for a couple of minutes, but by then I really just needed to go if I wasn't going to be helped. While I understand a business's desire to treat their regulars "specially," in a situation like this it's not going to help them earn new regulars. (Regulars that tip $5 for a $10 service like I do, no less.) read more

This was the only nail salon that I would go to when I lived in north county, now that I have moved I haven't gotten my nails done anywhere because I don't know if I trust anyone here. Best nail salon in Escondido by far! Great people, great environment, great nails! read more

Love this place! I've been here several times for a gel manicure and they always do such a good job (I've had Tanya and Vivian). Gel mani stays in place (and still looks perfect) for 2+ weeks, probably more if I didn't pick my nails The shop is clean, modern, and the staff is friendly. Definitely will be making this my regular spot. Thanks Holiday Nail! read more

I always wonder about this place so finally I walked in for the first time. Since I had no appointment I wait about 20 mins before someone was free, which was understandable. I got gel mani and regular pedi by Tanya. She was very friendly and talkative. I can be very picky when it comes to French tip on my natural nails. Some can make it look nice while others make the white lines look horrible. And Tanya did an awesome job with mine! I was so pleased by the work she did. Deff will be coming back. Finally a nice nail salon by my house regret not coming sooner. read more

My nails looked good at 1st glance, immediately after I left salon but upon closer inspection and a days time they're not looking so great. I'm hoping the owner will redo them herself, when I show her pictures. I should have done closer inspection at salon and I probably wouldn't have tipped so generously and definitely would have had her fix them then and there. read more
