I was honestly really hesitant to try a new nail salon after my regular nail tech had to close for…read morea few months due to a family loss. I don't usually trust just anyone with my nails, but I decided to give this place a try since it's right next to my work--and I'm so glad I did. Kim did an amazing job! Her attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the care she took really stood out. My nails came out exactly how I wanted (if not better), and the whole experience was comfortable and relaxing. It's not easy to find someone you trust with your nails, but Kim definitely earned mine. Highly recommend!

This is my second time coming here and I booked with Natalie because I saw her nail portfolio and…read moreshe is the closest thing to what I wanted for my Gel X nail extension set with level 3 design. I would say the nails were almost perfect. I liked Natalie's honesty because she told me what would look good for my nail shape and she made sure to do the little things that would make my nail look good, polish and clean instead of just saying yes to everything. Overall, Natalie did so well that I am definitely booking again in the future. My only concern is the timing and the time allotted for each client. On the app, I am giving 1 hour and 30 mins. When I first came in, I had to wait about 20 mins before I got seated. Then, about after an 1 hour, 15 mins in, her next client came in and I can tell she was feeling rushed. So I would recommend giving extra time or edit the settings on the app to allot more time for each client. But other than that, everything is great!

irene saved my nails today on such short notice. her attention to detail, honesty, and expertise…read morecompletely won me over and i cannot wait to return for my next appt. for context, the day prior to my walk-in at kim nails, i went to another salon and received gel x that was poorly fit (my sidewalls were still showing on 6 out of 10 nails), an ombre that was not blended whatsoever, and extensions that were sloping so far up my coworker two desks over asked me if i wanted her to fix them for me. i couldn't endure it so i decided to go to kim nails near my work and ask them to just soak it all off and redo the entire set. irene took one look at my nails, patiently heard me out, and got to work. instead of a new set, she and her coworker filed down all that previous unshaped bulk and gave me the best acrylic fill of my life. irene dedicated extra time to filing and shaping my nails pre-builder gel and then even more time post-builder gel to create the perfect apex and minimize unnecessary weight. ive never had a nail tech use three different drill bits just to refine my nail shape before at a salon. she even filed underneath the nail where the gel from the previous extension had built up - without me asking! this all by itself was more than i could have asked for, but then i find out that they have asian nail polishes, too! ive always brought very translucent/transparent inspo pics to my appts and have always been let down by opaque polishes. but at kim nails they have the exact type of translucent jelly nail polishes i have been looking for!! irene also perfected the subtle cateye gleam that i love and have been unable to achieve at home. when i inquired re: designs, irene informed me that if she feels like she can't do a design justice, she'll be upfront with her client and let them know. i value this honesty so much because i am lowkey nonconfrontational and have watched my nails become something totally different than the inspo i brought to the table. to top it all off, they have a very, very affordable pricing for a very efficient appointment. for the same duration and more effort, i almost spent under half of what i paid just the day before for my previous set. (i tipped over 50% to match because it would feel like a moral failure to pay irene any less than what i paid for my failed set.) all in all, 5 out of 5 stars i am endlessly grateful. my pictures do not do this establishment justice and for that i apologize i will take better pictures with my next set!!!

I was disappointed with my experience at this nail salon. The appointment felt rushed, and the…read morefinal result didn't match what I asked for. The polish application was uneven, and I noticed chips much sooner than I expected. I also felt that my concerns weren't taken seriously when I pointed them out. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but based on my visit, I don't feel the quality of service matched the price. I hope the salon improves its attention to detail and customer service in the future.

The space itself is warm,…read morewelcoming, and beautifully cozy, creating such a relaxing experience from the moment you walk in. Every member of the staff is kind and attentive, which makes each visit feel special. I always see Emily for my manicures, and she has never once disappointed me. She has been doing my nails for over a year now, including my engagement and wedding nails, and her work is nothing short of exceptional. Emily is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about what she does. What I appreciate most is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She always wants you to leave completely happy, and even when I'm unsure of what I want, she comes up with beautiful ideas that I end up loving every time. All of the photos I've included are her work, and they speak for themselves. If you visit this salon, you truly can't go wrong with anyone on the team--but I highly, highly recommend Emily.

I have to say this was the worst nail salon experience I've had in years…read more The technician did not properly file or shape my nails, and several of my fingers were cut during the process, which was both painful and concerning. When removing my old gel, she relied heavily on an e-file and went far too close to my natural nails, despite me specifically asking her not to. That request was ignored. Additionally, my cuticles were never properly addressed before the gel application. When I pointed this out, I was told that the product she was using works "backwards" and that cuticles could be handled after applying hard gel, which does not align with standard nail prep and felt dismissive. The service overall felt rushed and incomplete--no finishing care like a massage was provided. Between the poor technique, lack of communication, and disregard for my requests, I will not be returning and would not recommend this salon.

Asked me if I wanted any drinks, and had me browse for a gel color in their collection. Once I was done selecting, I was escorted for my pedi first. I had a manicure and pedicure and gotten gel sets. They were done super quickly and the level of detail was also fine! If you get a pedicure, they have massaging chairs. They were comfy but I didn't leave it on for too long as I was afraid to fall asleep. Nyny did my nails and she was so sweet! She made sure along the way that everything came out as I wanted it to. The only caveat is it's super expensive (around $150) though it's fine if it's done once in a blue moon. Long gone are the days of $20 manicures... Anyway, def recommmend Nyny if you want a sweet manipedi!

It's under awesome new management…read more This place is located in a strip mall at the far east end of Mira Mesa Blvd. near the donut shop. I used to come here years ago, but they stopped running the air conditioner so I stopped coming. But since the new owner Huy, took over, he's been running the AC so I came back. He's also been making lots of changes, like changing the decor here and there. All are welcome improvements. They also offer complementary waters and soft drinks. But I have to say the star of this place is Kathy. She does such a great job with my French style nails. She's fast and she doesn't make me soak my nails in acetone for an hour like they do at other places. She uses her electric nail file to take off the old gel. I'm much happier, not having my hands sitting in chemicals. I think one day the scientific community is going come out and say that soaking in acetone was really bad for you. Anyway, it's a non-issue with her. She doesn't need it. Also, the product she's using is top-notch. Because I have gone as long as five weeks and not had any lifting. I could've gone longer, but I can't stand the long length when it grows out. Honestly, I've had zero lifting. This is not an exaggeration. I've been coming here for about 10 months now and never once have there has been any lifting, which is shocking to me. (most other places start lifting around 2-3 three weeks) Anyway, whatever product that they're using is amazing or she's got some special technique. Not sure which maybe both. All I do know is she is my girl now. I have to say she's not real chatty, but that's OK, because gives me a chance to unwind. And I don't feel like I have to share my whole life story. Also, I don't want to undersell the other ladies because they ALL do a nice job with the pedicures. I don't have any complaints so far. They also do eyebrows and I think facials, I haven't tried either of those yet. Lastly, , I want to mention that they do take appointments Give this place a try I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

There is street parking available, wheelchair accessible. There's a bathroom available upstairs /elevator if needed. They use great quality scrubs, masks and lotions, each scent come separately packaged so nothing is in bulk or double dipped. There are so many scents to choose from (my favorites Jasmine,Tangerine and Olive). My nail technician Hannah was gentle and took her time. There was no rush. I have been following and seeing Hannah for years, she's that intuitive and amazing. I'm on my feet for long hours and it's been awhile. There was discomfort with my big toe, Hannah managed to gently extract a massive ingrown toenail with skin attached. There was no bleeding or discomfort, just relief. It's common for me to get ingrown toenails, but this was a first having one this large. so I try and come in at least a half hour to soak. Hannah also gives a detailed facial! Appointment is needed.
