Christine was amazing! :) I went in to have my Gel-X removed and decided to get regular gel instead, and I'm so happy I did. I was really impressed with the atmosphere of the salon, it was clean, relaxing, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. They were also able to accommodate me as a walk-in, which I really appreciated! Christine was incredibly patient and made sure my nails were taken care of throughout the entire process. She took her time, paid close attention to detail, and did such a beautiful job on my nails. I highly recommend her. read more

This salon is very tidy and modern inside! I walked in for a pedicure and was immediately seated, and finished pretty fast. Service was clean and fast. Great local nail salon! read more

Super friendly and welcoming. They were able to accommodate me as a walk-in during the weekend with minimal waiting. However, there was a bit of a wait for the people who came in after me even though they said they had an appointment. I really only waited for them to prep the pedicure station. I opted for a pedicure with callus removal and sugar scrub. The scrub was fine, like not too gritty. The massage was light pressure. My calluses were only partially removed. Something went wrong with the gel polish on my pinky toe because it peeled off the very next day. Either incomplete prep or incorrect gel polish application. No issues with the polish on other toes. There is still an excess of dead skin around my big toes. The service was speedy! I think with a little more attention to detail, this could have been great. read more

The good: I was able to get a seat for mani & pedi in less than 10 minutes without an appointment. Prices are fair compared to other shops, which have really increased over the years. The bad: My toe technician either forgot to add the clear to my gel or the gel was no good. Either way, by the next day, my toes looked terrible. The finish was completely matte, and you could see areas where color was missed. I went back the next day for a correction, and the whole vibe was really uncomfortable. The person fixing my toes was visibly annoyed at having to correct someone else's job. He was rough, rushed, and tore both of my big toe cuticles pretty badly. I left with bloody, sore cuticles and had to slip on my own sandals. Slipping on my own sandals was no big deal, but it was definitely a silent signal of his annoyance. He finished and just walked away. I'm not sure if I'll be back. I want to chalk it up to someone having a bad day, but it definitely wasn't a good way to treat a client because of a shop error. The owner was there, but he said nothing. I guess in the end I got what I paid for. read more

THE GIRLS TALK SHIT ABOUT YOU! They think you don't understand them but I speak the language. Horrible experience. When the manager isn't there, they are rude and horrible customer service. If you do go, go when the manager is there because he makes sure you get excellent service. as women we know what we like and want, why fight us when we are paying for the service and if we are being nice about things???? Do better read more

Definitely nothing like their instagram posts $53 set left acrylic residue on my fingers and there is lint on all my nails. Also the nail tips aren't put on properly they are lifted which makes my nails look weird and up read more

Went in for a gel pedicure and a gel builder fill. The gentleman did my gel pedicure good. Unfortunately, my manicure was pretty bad. I asked for a design and she wasn't able to do it so I just stuck to a French tip in pink, it came out super thick at first but thought maybe that's how it was supposed to look since i went shorter than what I came in with. I went home and everyone told me it was really bad, so I went back and asked if I can just remove them, they said they'll try to fix it, it came out as bad as the first time. My nails were in so much pain I just ended up keeping them since they thinned my nail out a lot and they're bendy now. read more

I had an amazing visit, my sister and I went in when they first opened. We were greeted upon arrival and sat down right away. Service was speedy and attentive. We're glad we found a salon in SD that we love! Will be back! Thank you for our manicures and pedicure. Highly recommend. read more

Don't waste your time. I had an appointment and got there on time. They sat me down right away and told me that someone would be with me in 5 minutes. After over 20 minutes, I wasn't acknowledged and it didn't look like anyone was coming so I left. They saw me leaving and still didn't say anything. Such a waste of time and I'm not sure why they bother with scheduling appointments. read more

I received a mani and pedicure both times. Staff were friendly, spa chairs are comfortable, reasonable price considering the details. Helen always does amazing work the designs! My hands did take a little longer than preferred but I rather it be nice and precise rather than rushed. read more

I had the worst experience I've ever had here. I called the day prior to book an appointment. They insisted the only time they had was 11:30am. I just moved to the area from Orange County and was looking for a new place that was good at acrylics and designs. The nail tech showed up at 11:44am and walked in with no greeting or apology for being late. She then stopped half way through my nails to start someone else's and told me I could meet her at her chair when she's done with the other lady! What is the point of having an appointment? On top of that they were the worst looking acrylics I've ever had in my life and I've gone a TON of places. I ended up asking her to remove them they were so bad. The man who did my pedicure was amazing. He needs to leave that place. read more

I'm so disappointed. I went in to soak off my acrylic because one of my nails broke off and this is what they let me leave with. They didn't take off all of the acrylic from my set and the lady that was doing my nail removal was rushing since my service was only $15. read more

Love this shop! We always come here to do our manicure and pedicure, the staff is welcoming at I Love Nails Otay Mesa.

I've given this shop a few try's, sometimes ok and sometimes detrimental Yes they have a value in town but these reviews do not reflect how dirty it really is in there, it does not look like they even try surface level cleaning. I was extremely uncomfortable on my last visit and I should have trusted my instincts. The tech was not focused on her work, was nonchalant and busy talking to coworkers. This is the first time I have ever grown fungus under my nail and experienced the worst cut on my pinky causing pain lasting weeks, this will be the reason I can't ever return Please consider your daily cleaning routine, I've brought my daughter and mother multiple times to this store and cannot allow this to not be addressed Good luck read more

Massage was great but they cut my toe cuticles on almost everyone and then buffed over the cut so now my toe cuticles are red and sore. Kept touching my toenails to the lamp too....oy was not comfortable or relaxing at all read more

probably the worst set of "acrylic" toes i've ever gotten done. i walked in asking for an acrylic set, after the guy asked which menu i wanted and just chose the $60 pedicure package which i thought it came with the acrylic full set bc that's what i asked for when i came in. after the painful leg massage he started putting clear gel polish on my toes and no acrylic.. i said i wanted an acrylic full set and showed him a photo of a square white acrylic set and said that it would be an extra $40. he drilled the skin around my toe beds causing them to be raw, shoving his real nail under my toe nail which hurt like hell after applying the acrylic. the shaping was quite ridiculous never in my life have i seen acrylic even shaped like keyboards, no effort was even put into the shaping it was so bad i had to go home and fix it which took like 30 min.i really feel like they played in my face especially sitting in that chair for 2 hours of my life and had the audacity to ask if my total was included with tip. $93 was my total and i tried giving $95 in cash and he couldn't even count the cash correctly, i had 4 20s and 3 5s laid out counting it in front of him and he kept saying it's $93 and making it seem like my total wasn't the right amount as if he was trying to make me pay more for a tip i ended up just paying tap. literally the worst and painful experience read more

Nice Technicians that understand men enjoy a nice pedicure to relax and pamper himself.

Gave my husband the worst pedicure and poor guy didn't even speak up for himself. They didn't even cut/file his toe nail down. The worst part they made him bleed now we are keeping our eyes out for an infection I felt horrible because I told him it would be a good experience read more

My ME TIME away from my babies! Since it was near also to my home. They have great services indeed. Always come back for my good set of nails and wish they have more like facial treatment and good massages too!! read more

I'd recommend coming with Helen! She is great and very thorough. She does my eyebrows, pedicure and acrylics!

I love this nail salon! Recently started going here more often after I had a bad experience at another nail salon in a nearby plaza. Every nail tech I've had so far has been so sweet and amazing: Helen, Bella, and Hanna. I usually come here for gel manicures and pedicures, and they've never disappointed me! They take both card and cash. Their prices are more reasonable than others I've been too. And it's in a plaza with plenty of parking. read more

We recently moved from the Eastlake area and I was looking for a good nail shop. I found them on yelp and called to see if they had availability for three people. The lady that answered was super polite and welcomed us to come in. There was no wait at all and they got started on us immediately. Everyone was so kind and customer service was amazing.

I always come to this nail salon! Very clean when it comes to pedicures. I like how this place uses disposable plastic wraps around the bowls for the feet. Regular white toe pedicures always EATS. Calm and relaxing vibe. Staffing is very friendly and welcoming. I also like how the nail salon doesn't smell like chemicals like other nail salons. Acrylic manicures are also very good and fair pricing. Last perk 10% discount for military and military dependents! Not sure any other nail salon that does that . read more

Called an hour before coming in and they told me I was welcomed to come whenever. I sat first with michael who did my acrylic & shaping and he was AMAZING ! So conversational & kept checking if I liked the shape, length, and if I was comfortable. He was also quick ! Very talented nail tech. He then sent me to I believe Hannah or Halum I couldn't quite hear her name, she's the younger lady with highlights, who then did my design. She let me pick my base coat color & then the design color. The entire time she worked she asked things like if I wanted one or two coats, if I liked the design, did I like the color, always before she did the rest of my nails. I appreciated the attention to detail & eagerness to make sure I liked my nails. At a point of my appointment I didn't like the color bc it didn't match my inspiration, so she fixed it quickly and it was perfection ! I'm not from San Diego & was apprehensive about getting services done here bc I'm new to the area & people, but they were the best nail salon I have EVER been to ! Will 100% be returning bc of their amazing service, work, & prices (so cheap compared to where I'm from ! ) Thank you folks so much - Malu read more
