Today I got a mani pedi for the first time in several months and had a gift certificate here to redeem so came back for a second chance- Requested my fave technician and she did great with my nails on my gel mani. Also splurged on my pedi and it all went really well. I'll come back again sometime :) read more

My nail salon is closed on Mondays and I needed a mani pedi before my travels the next day. I dropped in without an appointment and had a delightful mani - pedi, buff! There were 3 sweet gals, two worked on me and I was completed in 45 minutes. My nails never looked better! I enjoyed our conversation! It was efficient and relaxing! This will definitely be my new nail salon! read more

My favorite nail salon has improved even more! New owner recently took over a wonderful salon. Lily is the new owner and she had all new chairs installed, they are a beautiful tan color with gold undertones, it sure brightened it up! It looks amazing and super clean! Today my husband and I enjoyed a Special Lavender Spa Pedicure with mud mask and orange slices, and even had a wonderful warm/ heated neck pillow. I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed. The ambiance was so warm and inviting. The neck pillows had actual lavender flowers inside. Today we were spoiled by Lily, Ria, T and May! All so wonderful! We highly recommend this Nail Spa, such a nice treat after a long day! read more

Some businesses do such a fantastic job that I am scared to write the glowing review that they deserve because I do not want their business to grow too much. Lavender Nails & Spa is one of these exceptional businesses. From the moment I walked in I could tell how passionate the entire staff is about customer service and cleanliness. This nail salon offers a full menu of services. The pedicure menu alone starts at a spa pedicure (which is outstanding) and has many additional levels of service. Yesterday I splurged with the signature Lavender pedicure which included citrus in the foot soak, several layers of scrubs, masks, lotion and even a paraffin treatment which is applied while a hot stone massage is done on the lower legs. My nail technician was careful and flawlessly trimmed and cleaned my nails and applied the polish with perfection. To top it off, guests are offered a special drink with each of the pedicures. Lavendar nails offers quality service and extremely friendly staff. read more

I've came here twice now, my first time I got gel-x which I was skeptical of getting because they usually last a week or so on me, but these lasted 3 weeks! I also work in a manual labor job so I was surprised. I came in today for a fill and my nails are gorgeous. Definitely found my new go to spot in Solana beach (picture is 2.5 weeks with the set on, video is the fill I got today) read more

Lavender Nails & Spa Boutique - 2.5 weeks later - Nail Salons Near Me - Del Mar, California

I was looking for a relaxing experience but this was the worst mani/pedi I've had. Extremely rushed. I asked for the CBD pedicure but when the young man was finished it was clear that isn't the service I got. When it was time to pay, I asked what service I received and was told the Rejuvenate Pedicure. I asked why I didn't get the CBD pedicure as requested and was told that some walk-in customers had arrived so there wasn't enough time. I said it would have been nice for them to communicate this to me. When I got home I looked at the Rejuvenate Pedicure, and it's clear I didn't receive that full service either. There was no callous treatment or foot mask and the "massage" lasted about 3 minutes. The manicure was also rushed, finished in 15 min. Will not be returning. read more

OBSESSED! I am a total perfectionist when it comes to my nails and it's hard to find a nail salon / nail tech that I love. Ria at Lavender is my girl!! This is my second time visiting her and she always gets everything exactly how I want it! The shape, length, thickness and gels tips are perfect. So Barbie and so happy! Ria also really pays close attention to detail, allows me to check that I'm happy throughout, and doesn't have a bad attitude when I want to change something! This place is a little pricier but soooo worth it!! Thank you Ria! read more

I had dip polish applied and 3 days after application 1 nail chipped. One week later 2 more chipped and the one I had redone also chipped again. Dip polish should last at least 2 weeks if not 3. Also I got an attitude from the woman who did the repair as well on the one nail. Plus I paid $60 to have them done and left a $10 tip!!! I am not happy with them at all read more

Worst manicure I have ever had. My appointment was less than 24 hours ago and my nails are already chipped and peeling. Male tech used a drill to take off my gel off which is terrible for nails. He drilled them so thin that I felt I could feel it burning through to my skin under my nail. He also nicked my skin with the drill and still painful now. He did a terrible job applying the polish and was applying globs of nail polish onto my fingers and was all streaky so I asked him to fix it. Tried to insist that I didn't need it fixed and finally had the other tech fix them. She did my toes and did an okay job but astronomically better than the guy. It was terrible and so uncomfortable. Editing to add: My nails are so damaged and paper thin that IT BENDS. I am so sad that one trip to this salon has ruined my healthy nails that I have worked so hard to maintain (with my nail tech at home). read more

Amazing nail design done by Ria! I had a inspo picture and she nailed it. Will be back and happy to have found my new nail spot.

This was my second visit. While the work is fairly average, the salon's convenient location close to my home was the main reason I decided to return. Unfortunately, my experience this time was disappointing. The technician who did my nails was rushed and noticeably rude throughout the service, despite the salon not being busy. What should have been a relaxing visit turned into a stressful one. Given the lack of professionalism and only average results, I'll be looking elsewhere next time--there are plenty of other salons to choose from. read more

By far the best nail salon in north county!! It's clean, quiet, and they do an amazing job. Casey is the BEST and really takes her time with each client. I will never go anywhere else for my nails! read more

My experience was not good. After about 5 days I had 2 nails that chipped. They were very rude and behaved as though it was my fault. I was planning to start using them, but not after that experience. read more

I'm so happy I found this place! I had my nails done a few days ago (from a different place) and really didn't love them. I almost never got my nails done but I have my engagement photos tomorrow so I thought why not and got GelX. They were not going to work at all.... I called and explained my situation and rush and, thankfully, Kathleen was able to make an appointment for me really quickly. When I got there her and Thao explained the best options for my nails to keep them healthy but make them beautiful and photo ready. Thao took off the brand new GelX as quickly as possible while trying to save my natural nails, then used a little extension with dip powder. The length and color are exactly what I had originally wanted and they feel amazing. And the ladies were so nice and accommodating. I'm definitely going back for my wedding nails and bringing my family! Highly recommend!! read more

I needed desperately to get a pedicure and have been researching great places on Yelp.I have had some good pedicures, but I was looking for a permanent salon to get mostly pedicures. I decided to book a mani and pedicure. I had booked the appointment with Kelly and she was excellent. I chose the essential manicure and spa pedicure from their list. Another woman (didn't get her name) was excellent on my pedicure. She scrubbed all the dead skin off my feet and did a really professional job of my feet. My feet were really dry and needed a good buffing and filing and it felt wonderful. Kelly did my manicure and she was great. Both women took their time and took care of me. I really think I found my new manicure and place for me. It was a little expensive, but well worth every cent. The only difficult thing was finding the building. It really is tucked away in a small strip mall next to Margaret's dry cleaning store. If your not familiar of the area you could miss it. They do prefer you to pay with cash and offer their own gift card you can buy. Next time I might just load money on the card instead. Here is the latest price list. I went to my nail appointment in May 2023. read more

******REVIEW REVISED**** Original review spoke to how I wasn't able to choose the polish color, and the gel and polish did not match. While the nails looked amazing and were done with great attention to detail, the coloring wasn't quite as advertised. I had posted a review noting this and they immediately offered to redo the gel nails for free and were above kind and generous about it. Booked an appointment the next day to get them redone. Great customer service, communication, and pleasant to work with. Will be a repeat customer. read more

Wonderful long lasting pedicure in a very relaxing environment with very minimal talking amongst the staff and no patrons speaking on their cell phones. If you want a relaxing environment with premium pedicure products (and massage!) this is your place! read more

I needed my nails fixed right away and I am so glad I went to Lavender Nails & Spa Boutique. I didn't have an appointment, but they got me right in. I have been getting my nails done for over a year now and the place I went to wasn't pushing back my cuticles. The nails kept lifting and popping off. So this is why I needed another nail place to try. I have a good feeling about this nail set :) and my next visit they gave me a card for $5 off read more

Amazing service and ambiance! I had a dip powder with gel top coat that turned out lovely. Thao did a great job paying attention to detail. I had a fabulous gel pedicure with "Kim Chee". She did a great job with the massage too. They were super friendly and hospitable, and my pedicure came with champagne (you have to choose that specific pedicure for $55) + gel is extra. The location is close to shopping and restaurants, and the salon is new, well decorated and inviting. Very lovely. I highly recommend!! read more

Had gel nails done today and was extremely disappointed. The nail tech didn't fully remove the dark color I had on previously. I asked her if she could remove it and she ignored me. She then put the new lighter color over it so it looked terrible. After she put the new color on I showed her how there is dark color left over. Nails look so bad. I was upset I had to pay for bad service. And they didn't care to make it right. I won't be back. read more

I was in Encinitas on vacation and broke a nail, so went to the closest place and I'm glad I did. Had a superb hard gel manicure here with Kathleen. Her prep was impeccable (similar to a Russian mani), and she applied the hard gel in two thin coats, so it looks very natural. I'm getting loads of compliments. If I lived in the area this would be my nail salon.m, but the next time I'm in the area I'm coming here! read more

I decided to take my kid for a mommy and me spa day during their Grand Opening weekend and boy oh boy, were we in for a treat! The salon is super clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. It has a very relaxing and gentle vibe. Instead of the harsh chemical smells that you typically experience at a regular salon, this place smells of lavender (like its name!) and other essential oils which I really appreciate. The pedicure chairs are of high quality and very comfortable to sit in. The extra lumbar cushions they supply also, in my opinion, made the pedicure more enjoyable. If you enjoy getting pedicures with extra foot/leg massage, ladies and gents, you KNOW the importance of having a good chair! They also have a HUGE selection of nail colors (gel + regular polish) and a variety of services to choose from. My daughter got a regular kid's pedicure with Halloween design while I tried their Lavender Pedicure - Zen. The kid giggled and smiled the whole time and gave a big thumb up when her toes were done. She's normally very shy and at times, slightly anxious when getting a pedicure. But today, the nail technician made her feel right at home. As for my pedicure, it turned out fantastic! I am always a bit skeptical when working with someone new, because the last thing I need is having my cuticles cut too deep or nails file too short. But not here. Everything turned out wonderful. My technician paid close attention to how the nails looked and went back several times to ensure that I was happy with the final result. The hot stone massage I received was excellent. If it wasn't for my kid talking so loudly next to me, I could've totally fallen asleep. It was definitely a very relaxing and luxurious experience. Everyone we met was friendly and courteous. We are very happy with this place and will definitely return!! read more

Overall an okay salon. I've been here twice. One of the nail techs looked at my nails and was upset with me that I took off my own gel nails and was a bit shaming of me (I know I shouldn't have done jt but she was pretty rude about it and I didn't think it was that big of a deal). Seemed clean and they do a good job but never felt friendly so I won't be going back. read more

I rarely write reviews. I was visiting Del Mar and went to Lavish to get my nails done. I decided to try hard gel and tips for the first time, I've never done either. Christine did my nails, she was SO nice and gentle, as I'm on the more sensitive side and sometimes techs destroy my cuticles. My nails have never looked better and it was such a great experience. She took her time to ensure all nails were the same length and perfectly shaped. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Tammy was great and very attentive to each nail's detail! She was also very patient as I kept changing kmy color choices during the manicure! Prices were great and staff was so friendly! Will definitely return read more

I booked a Lavender Manicure appointment through Classpass. I showed up and asked if it was possible to do Gel X and pay the difference. I was told yes. I was sat down on time for my appointment. A male technician removed my regular nail polish and then he left me to work on someone else. The technician working on the person next to me said she'll be right with me. I waited over 30 minutes. I wanted to leave but my nails were already roughed up to prep for gel. The end result looked stunning, but they unfortunately didn't last long. One nail popped right off by the 4th day. Despite being told I was going to only pay the difference, I was charged $50 instead of the difference of $30. Honestly, I was so over the experience, I just paid so I could leave. read more

This is literally one of the BEST nail salons in the Del Mar / Carmel valley area. I have tried so many other salons and let me tell you the service here is amazing! First of all, they really take their time with your nails all the way from the removal, shaping them, and designs. I normally book with Ann and she's extremely polite, patient, and does such an impeccable job with my nails! The salon is super clean and I always leave super happy with the way they turned out. read more

Located on Via De La Valle, across from the Surf Sports Park, between Via Del Canon and El Camino Real, I drive past Lavender almost daily and each time say to myself, "I need to go in and check it out". Today, I finally did it and WOW am I happy I did! I was a walk-in and all the ladies were genuinely welcoming and so, so, so friendly! The salon itself is clean and spacious, with beautiful relaxing music and hosts a huge selection of polishes and colors. Going to the nail salon is not my norm but something I usually reserve for special events & occasions. Due to, and because of, the amazing care and beautification of my Fred Flintstone feet and hands by Tiff and Thao, I am planning on becoming a regular patron! I've finally found a salon I like and feel comfortable in. I'm so happy! My hands and feet are also happy they will finally be well taken care of too! read more
