So glad to find this place! Parking is limited but free, which for this area is golden…read more It is recommended you make an appointment as they have limited staff and the owner is the primary tech who runs between two stores. Prices are competitive to elsewhere but it's the attention to details and how long my nails last that are the winner.

Quality of services leaves little to be desired, especially at this price tag. My gel manicure…read morechipped in less than 24 hours, polish was not placed far enough back on the nail for it to look completed, and I had flaky skin on my feet despite paying for upgraded pedicure services. They're also VERY aggressive with tipping to where it isn't optional. As you're checking out you'll be asked "do you have cash for the tip? What about Venmo?" I will not be returning and will not recommend this business.

I've been going to Del Mar Nail Bar for a couple of years now, and it never fails to amaze me. My…read morenails always come out beautifully and last so well! The service is amazing. They're always welcoming, offer drinks or water, and the atmosphere is so comfortable. I love chatting with the nail technicians--they're friendly and make the experience really enjoyable. They also take the perfect amount of time and are super careful. They're incredibly skilled and can do such a wide variety of styles and designs. Booking is easy with the new management, and the location has great parking which makes everything even better. Huge shoutout to Josephine Phan--she is so talented and detail-oriented!

I love this nail salon. All of the ladies are so nice and always ask questions to make sure you get…read moreexactly what you want. They smile, make you feel welcome, and do an amazing job every time. I always call ahead to make sure they can take me if I plan on walking in, but they also accept appointments, which is super convenient. I get both natural nails and fun designs, plus pedicures too. The space itself is open with a lot of airflow, which is great since nail salons can sometimes get a bit fumey. There is also a ton of natural light, which makes it feel even more inviting and clean. Overall, 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

On my way to LA on the train for a very important weekend of meetings around the corner from the…read moretrain station and I walked in for a simple eyebrow trim. Nothing too long or fancy. From the time I walked in I didn't feel welcome. I was told "they didn't have time." Really? You're open for business and you offer the service but, at least for me, you didn't have time??? I've never heard anything like this. I've heard "we're booked so can you come back or we can be ready in about 30 minutes" but never "we don't have time." The energy was off anyway. Vibe was not the best from the time I walked in. Maybe they do good work, but at least for me, for some unknown reason, they didn't "have time" to serve me and ya know what...I have no time to try them again but I didn't have time to write this review, but I made time for something important for potential customers to know.

The nail shop itself is small and looks a little cluttered with food/drinks when you walk in. Otherwise there are about 4 chairs for manicures and 4 or 5 for pedicures.

I have gone to the same nail tech for years and was on a long work trip in desperate need of a fill on my natural nails. I stopped in and despite Thu's busy schedule, she got me in. Prices are extremely reasonable and the area is next to the beach and plenty of food, bars, etc. Thu's attention to detail and quality of work is amazing!!! The products and hand massage 10/10. I even came back for a minor chip, that was completely my fault, and she happily touched up every nail. She is an absolute gem and I would go back to her in a heartbeat!

I figured it was just me being sensitive -- but later that day, I noticed a red burn mark forming right in the middle of my face. By the next morning, it had started to scab. I called the salon the next day to let them know what happened. They said they would inform the technician who worked on me, but honestly, they didn't seem very concerned about it. There was no apology, no offer to make it right -- just a casual acknowledgment and that was it. This was not the level of care or professionalism I expected. Accidents can happen, but the lack of empathy or accountability made the whole experience worse. I won't be returning.
