    The owner Julia set up an appointment for me with Amy who did a wonderful job. Amy was very fast, efficient, and neat and deserves all the praise she gets. The whole process (from removing my previous gel-x tips to applying hard gel to the design) took about an hour and twenty minutes. Pictures unfortunately don't do justice on how delicate and pretty she drew the designs. I will definitely be going back for Amy's work and I greatly appreciate Lele's nails for reaching out with the complimentary service.

    Gel manicure (some gel x/ color 132) by Harry

    Kim no longer works here but loved my Gel manicure done by Harry. He shaped my nails well & made sure I loved them before moving onto each step. I so appreciated that. And I still love Julia, the manager. She is so kind & sweet and the reason I keep coming back. Thank you Julia for your generous hospitality :) and thank you Harry for my nails!!

    I came back and got an acrylic full set from Amy! She's super sweet and finished the service and incredible nail art in an hour. About a week after the service some of the gel color started peeling and was still wet (probably not fully cured), but still a good set overall. All of my fingers were chipped with the wet/sticky gel under by the second week of having them on.

    Simple Gel Mani

    My go to place for manis and pedis!! I've gotten both services done here and absolutely love how careful and detail oriented all the nail techs are. they have a range of polishes (including Japanese jelly polishes and magnetic nails). Although I love having fun nail polish colors and designs on my nails, i had to get plain gel for work. But luckily they have a variety of simple pinky nudes to choose from as well! Nail techs helped me choose a color and kindly switched it out when I asked for a different color :) staff is sooo sweet and caring too. Services also come with a complimentary beverage, I love getting the Vietnamese coffee

    Kim nail Salon, the place I needed to go after Lele salon made me wait an 45 and then told me there is another person ahead of me.

    I am a regular customer at LeLe's Nails. Since the beginning, the manager/owner, Julia, has not been welcoming, although the staff seemed okay. A couple of weeks ago, I went in to get my nails done, and the experience was absolutely horrible. After just six days, I had to return because of how bad they looked. Another lady fixed them, but treated me very poorly while doing so. Today was the worst experience yet. My friend made an appointment for both of us -- 10:00 AM for her, and 11:00 AM for me -- and we specifically requested a certain technician. She had to wait until 10:40 AM for him to even start. I then waited until 11:45 AM, only to be told that I wasn't next and that another person was ahead of me. You can only imagine how furious I was. No one apologized -- in fact, they laughed when I said I was going to leave a bad review. I ended up going to a nail salon down the street called Kim Nails, and they did a wonderful job. I will definitely not be recommending LeLe's Nails. Horrible customer service. First picture is from the time I got my nails done and they did it very poorly. Second picture is my nail today done at Kim Nail Salon .

    Terrible Nails

    It hasn't been long since I got them done and a few days ago one of my nails started to peal off and my pinky now is bleeding and hurting. This has never happened before with my nail where they ripped off my real nail. I think they are cutting circle. Because of the last time I went in the customer service isn't good I don't even think they would fix it even if it's their fault. WORST SERVICE EVER

    Stepdaughter's mani and pedi!
    Janell R.

    My normal nail salon is located in San Diego, but I am in Poway often and have been looking for a backup place to go. I read great reviews about Lele Nails & Spa, so my stepdaughter and I decided to go, and we are so happy we did! I got a spa pedicure, and I can't express how wonderful Hanna was! The massage was so relaxing, and she was so attentive to details! She is also very funny and friendly. Excited to start school in a few days, my stepdaughter got a mani and pedi, which was done by Kim. I am also so impressed by Kim's attentiveness to details and how accommodating she was, especially to kids! Kim is so adorable and her artwork skills are amazing!! My stepdaughter loves Hello Kitty, so Kim topped off our experience by offering to hand draw Hello Kitty on my stepdaughter's toes, which came out so good! The salon is very clean and beautiful decorated. We will definitely be returning! Thank you Hanna and Kim for making our first time such an enjoyable, quality experience!

    Nails I received

    I do not typically write reviews, nevertheless poor ones, but the nails I received were far from the inspo picture I gave. The nails felt haphazardly done. I can recognize that the initial picture I gave was not an easy design to do, but I'd rather the artist be honest with me than have me waste her time and lose out on $90 (including tip). I was way too nice considering the quality I received. My hands weren't even cleaned -- it wasn't until I got into my car that I noticed polish residue on my fingers. Perhaps complicated designs aren't meant to be done here. You're better off getting a single color manicure. Beyond that, my appointment time was meant to start at 9 -- but was constantly interrupted by phone calls. I get that they're busy, but my nail artist shouldn't be taking calls mid appointment. I went to another nail salon in Mira Mesa where the nail artist there told me my nails were put on incorrectly (too much glue). I've included the original inspo picture for reference. If it's any consolation, the team is friendly and accommodating, though everyone around me seemed to be offered coffee/water but me. I do recommend this place, just maybe come in with less expectations.

    LOVEEE getting my nails done here, every time I come, there are the sweetest people ever and their prices are so reasonable!!!

    I always get my nails done here, prices are so reasonable and every time they do such an amazing job!!!!

    I got my nails done with Amy, and it was the best experience I have ever had getting my nails done! Not only do my nails look amazing, her and the other staff were very kind and did my nails and the design in about an hour for a great price.

    Great service!! I loved my nails and they were done really fast. All the ladies are super nice and welcoming!! They do such an amazing job to match my inspo photo. Always leave super satisfied!

    I foundLeLes's Nails Salon on Yelp. Julia's name was tagged on some pictures and reviews. I get acrylic powder with gel overlay. Sometimes long but mostly short length. That's what impressed me with Julia was her amazing short nails and nail art!! Book her today. U won't be disappointed. AND..my nails last so so long. Usually i need a nail refill after 2 weeks. With Julia, i can go 4-6 weeks!!!! Julia is the best! I can bring any idea or pictures and she can deliver results! Best nail art tech! The spa is gorgeous, open aired, clean. In love. I found my new nail tech and salon.

    I've been here twice, and everyone is very friendly. Julia is super nice and welcoming. My daughter has enjoyed her nails and the experience.

    I think they are great, although one lady did scrub my feet really hard. But it's quick and it's never super busy.

    I've consistently had wonderful experiences at European Wax Center!…read more Robin is the absolute best. She is so kind and caring, always making sure I am comfortable and asks about my personal life. She is super professional, I will never stop coming to her. The entire team is always so kind, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walk through the door. They genuinely care about providing the best experience possible. I always leave feeling well taken care of. I highly recommend European Wax Center in Mira Mesa to anyone looking for a professional, comfortable, and positive experience!

    I had an appointment with Alani, and while she did a good job, I wished she was more transparent…read moreabout add ons during the appointment. At one point she asked me if I wanted her to do my inner thighs, and I thought about it for a moment and said no thank you. Maybe 10 or so minutes later she asked again and told me she would be able to do it really quickly and it would be easy for her to do. I should have asked, but I assumed it would be part of the original service I booked due to the way she was offering it. It took less than a minute - 2 quick strips. At the end of the appointment, she told the receptionist to add on a charge for inner thighs which ended up being $26 in addition to the original service I booked. If I had known that I would need to pay $26 for less than a minute of waxing, I would have declined, so I would have appreciated her being clear about the extra cost.
