Conveniently located close to my house, and therefore personally worth the price premium over farther-away places! I don't do gel or acrylics so I can't comment on those, but the basic mani-pedi is perfectly serviceable. The salon is spacious and clean, and I haven't encountered much of a wait even though I tend to drop in rather than make an appointment. read more

This was my first time visiting Lavish Nails and I would highly recommend and look forward to going back! Mia was my nail tech for my GelX full set and Ruby did a standard pedicure. Everyone was so nice and Mia really listened to what I wanted for my nails and did a great job, she even kept checking to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Sometimes I don't feel like I am listened to by nail techs and I don't end up with what I wanted, but that was definitely not the case here! read more

I have been using gel nails for decades. I found myself needing a new manicurist. So I went back to Lavish Nails. I haven't been back since before COVID. Unfortunately my nails started to chip and less than a week later my gel is breaking off. peel off. I don't typically have this problem. My nails usually last 3-4 weeks not days! The place still looks basically the same inside with massage chairs and tables to sit at. read more

I used to do my nails a few years ago, and I always happy Since the new owner came, Mia, everything has been changed. She requested only cash payment what I don't like or either way Venmo what it's much better but no credit card. Service has been very poor. They don't know where they carry a few or not all they care to tell you it's not my fault So please think twice if you wanna go this place . I go there today after a while I said maybe I will give them another chance, but I left very sad with ugly nails. I will definitely go back to happy nails clairmont They never ask for cash they will make you happy no matter what read more

Great experience! Visiting from Napa, CA and didn't know what to expect. The staff was friendly, offered me a beverage of my choice, and Amy, the nail tech was thoughtful. I wanted long square natural pink nails and she took the time to test (4) pink shades to make certain I was happy with how the shade looked with my skin tone. The woman next to me requested almond French nails and hers were gorgeous. I would highly recommend this nail salon! read more

Nam did the best job on my nails today! He was so detailed and careful. They came out beautifully!!!! The perfect French almond nail. read more

I feel so badly for writing a negative review but I got a STAPH infection on my toe immediately post pedicure 3 months ago. It's been such a terrible and painful experience. Please do better lavish nails, this is unacceptable. read more

By far the worst nail salon in the area I have tried this 3 times but it's always the same. I make appointment for the service and then always have to wait 20-25 mins extra after the appointment time coz they are always "so busy" The job they do is so so and nail techs are always in a hurry doesn't matter if it's weekday or weekend. They don't value customers time and only want your money. read more

I've been coming here since high school (2016) and the quality is always amazing! Jo has been my nail tech since the beginning & she is the best there is! She's a perfectionist and always gives me advice on what she thinks looks best (bc I'm indecisive lol) If you're looking for a new nail salon, I 100% recommend checking this place out!! read more

Lavish Nails & Spa - Acrylic by Tina before gel . Great shape - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Always a positive experience here each time I go in. Timely, clean, relaxing, and the nail techs are wonderful. I usually make an appointment but have been accommodated when I've stopped in. I appreciate their hours too! read more

First and foremost, I will point out that my yelp name is an alias, so the name i checked in with does not match my yelp user name, in case the owners attempt to claim that this review is false. The absolute worst nail experience in my five decades on this planet. The technician asked if I want to keep the length and what shape I want. I said I want to keep the length as much as possible and keep the shape exactly as is, which was rounded. She proceeded to cut my nails and shape them square. I reminded her I want them round, and she then started to try to shape them rounded on the corners. Every other nail she filed came out lopsided. And she couldn't seem to care enough to notice, herself so I kept having to show her, and she seemed absolutely befuddled. At the end of the day I left with significantly shorter nails to get the rounder shape I like. I hate square nails. So I prioritize shape. Not only that, but one of my nails is actually peeling on the side when it wasn't before. On top of that, it took almost 2 hours to do a manicure and pedicure, throwing off the rest of my schedule for the day. Truly, the worst experience I've ever had in a nail salon. I informed the person in the front and turns out he is not a manager and cannot provide feedback, so hoping the owners read feedback posted here. read more

Nam is my absolute favorite nail artist. I come back to him every month! He ALWAYS gets my vision and executes it perfectly, could not recommend more! read more

My daughter and I love going to this Spa. Everyone is so professional and talented.

I recommend you to check them out and of course I highly recommend this Spa. read more
