    first time my nails were done, then walked back in to ask them to fix it!
    Alexa D.

    I've given this salon a couple of chances and my nails each time come out thick, uneven, and messy, and I had to go back each time to have them corrected. While they did improve after being redone, they still weren't as clean and polished as I would expect for the price. A good set should be thin, not bulky or puffy, with a smooth surface (no lumps or dips), a clean cuticle area (no product on the skin), and straight, even shaping. When these things are off, it's noticeable right away. I'm not sure if it's the products being used, the application, or rushing, but for a mid-to-high price range, I expected better consistency and attention to detail. I was also told it was due to my natural nails, but I've had my nails done at other salons and never experienced these issues, so I don't believe that's the case. I really appreciate their willingness to fix the work, but I'd prefer a place that gets it right the first time without needing adjustments. Especially since those adjustments aren't the best either... Getting your nails done should be a fun, relaxing experience, not one where you're worried about the outcome each time.

    Pros: Everyone was very nice and if paying with cash, they give you a 5% discount. Also, the nail artist who did my niece's nails, did an amazing job with nail art on all nails. My daughter was happy with her nails, as well. Cons: When I called in, I asked for 6:00 appointments for the three of us and was told that would be fine. We got there early and weren't seated till 6:30. Again, everyone was very nice, but I wasn't happy with having to wait so long, and for paying for one of the bigger pedicure packages, I feel that the polish job could have been better. Also, I was given a pre stamped incentive card which came with one stamp. I was given another stamp but should have given more since I paid for all three of our services.

    I've been through so many nail salons throughout San Diego for several years, and since finding LK, I've stopped roaming! The nail technicians and designers are great at what they do, and have consistently provided excellent customer service. I get off work really late so don't get in until 6pm. They are willing to stay past their closing to work on my nails even though they're not obligated at all to. Pictures are about 1-2 weeks old each time since I forget to post, but quality of their work is fantastic. They've never turned away any crazy designs I find online, and try their best to make it as close to the design as possible. They're a little far out in Santee, but I think they're worth the drive and I'll still be coming back even after I move out of the El Cajon area!

    Love this salon! Tony is professional, efficient and very artistic. I love his designs! The salon is very clean and quiet. I highly recommend!

    I bring in an inspo picture and Tony ALWAYS delivers. I think this may be my favorite set yet. I never leave unhappy. Pedicures are also always incredible and I got to have some wine too. Perfect evening if you ask me! 100/100 HIGHLY recommend. Here are my nails in different lighting, safe to say I am obsessed. Within 30 minutes I was receiving compliments, but then again, I always am getting compliments on my nails!

    I've been getting my nails done by Tony for years, and he's truly an incredible manicurist! He can flawlessly recreate any nail design I show him, from photos or inspiration online, which is so rare to find. Beyond his talent, Tony and his family, who run the salon together, are always warm and welcoming. It's been so exciting to see their new location thrive! They always offer something to drink and go out of their way to create a comfortable, inviting environment. Every time I leave with a fresh set, I feel confident and get tons of compliments. This place is a hidden gem, highly recommend!

    i love how Tony makes my nails feel & look fabulous every visit ! Mindy also does amazing on pedicures !

Lina had a great solution and did an amazing job matching it with an acrylic extension--you can't even tell in the photo. That said, if you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend asking for Gel-X instead of acrylic. The acrylic ended up feeling loose and didn't hold well, so I had to come back before leaving for a trip. To their credit, Sunny Nails squeezed me in the very next day. Another technician quickly assessed the issue, removed the acrylic, and replaced it with Gel-X (a full, strong nail--not just a tip). The result was flawless--she shaped it beautifully, and I was able to enjoy my trip with perfect nails. The only downside was the experience during the fix. The technician seemed frustrated, didn't respond to my thank you, and abruptly turned off the blue light and walked away without acknowledgment. It felt a bit uncomfortable--especially since I had already paid extra for the initial service and had to come back. Overall, they made it right, and I appreciate the quality of the final result--just wish the customer experience during the correction matched it.

I go to Tina for pedicures, and she is fast but takes good care of you! Cindy and Sophie are also wonderful!

My friend chose the third pedicure option and gel nails nail polish to match her feet. After it was all done I found out I had the 3rd option not what I selected -at a higher cost than I anticipated. They left my price at the one I selected which was fair. I will caution you - be clear about what you want - I suggest Star give a written menu and you select your choice in writing - to save any uncomfortable miscommunication. This can potentially lose clients. I did feel like I was unknowingly upsold. All said they did such a nice job and everyone that helped us was very nice. They did an excellent pedicure/manicure. Took their time. My friend looked beautiful she had gel nail polish and gel toenail polish! II will say everything was done without feeling hurried and I would recommend them. Plan on spending about $200 for two.
