She charged me $73 to get nail polish removed. I asked her a simple question very kindly because she hit the nail polish remover brush on my painted nail and I asked her about it and she got really mad and said that's your nail.. and then she wouldn't even continue to paint my nails. I said we're not doing white tip anymore? and she said no and then she still charged me $73. I've never had a bad experience getting my nails done. I would really not recommend going here. read more

Great, detailed work! They can effectively get rid of your old, dried-up cuticles. However, there are some downsides: their techniques feel outdated and not in line with the latest trends. If you choose a color they don't agree with, they may try to persuade you to change it. Additionally, they mostly offer old colors with nothing new. Ultimately, I grew tired of them wanting cash and requiring me to bring my own nail polish in order to be happy with the results. The owner is a stickler read more

I called to confirm if they had time for a walk in, and they said they did, but I had to come quickly because they were expecting a rush. I ended up getting there within 10 minutes. The ladies were all very nice, but I think they were a little rushed when it came to my gel pedi, and by the time I was done, there still was no one who had come in, so I'm not sure what the rush was about? Anyway, they were nice, but I would suggest making an appointment read more

Went to Kim for many years. Thought she was good till I started going to Mimi at Blush nails. Nails last so much longer and she is a much nicer person Wish I would have switched much sooner Kim lost many customers that I sent to her because of her attitude read more

Treat yourself to a back massage, foot bath massage and pedicure. Very reasonable, low 30's. Sit in a Nice massage chair, relaxing warm foot bath , watch TV or play on your cellphone while you get a pedicure. Can't reach your toes, then this is the place to go. You can just Walk in. But it's always better to make an appointment. It was very relaxing. I highly recommend them. read more

They are always so nice and do a great job. You can walk in or make an appointment. The prices are average I think, $40 for a manicure and gel nails, pedicures around $40ish and up depending on what you get. I definitely recommend them! read more

Love Nails - Pedicure by Kim. - Nail Salons Near Me - Santee, California

Kim did my acrylic nails with gel on top and Mimi and another both did a little bit of my pedicure. First the good: EVERYTHING! :) the place was super clean, they greeted me when I came in, they smiled, showed me right to my chair and started doing my pedicure. The nail color selection was great, the staff were phenomenal and most importantly... my nails look beautiful. Kim took her time to make everything perfect. I'm particular and I can't stress enough how hard it is to find someone to do great (short) acrylic nails with gel on top. When I say this place is clean, I mean every nook and cranny is clean. The bathroom, the floors, the furniture, the tools, everything was sparkling clean!!! I have found a new place in Santee!!! Finally a place to go that does a great job! The bad: NOTHING! These guys did everything right. I have zero complaints. read more

Tbh this nail salon doesn't even deserve a 1 star but unfortunately I have to add it or else it won't let me write a review... to start off, the service these ladies offer is absolutely disgusting. I have never seen meaner people like this in my life. Tina is the worst one. For the past 8 months I have been trying to call this salon and for some reason my call just won't go through. I stopped by today and one of the ladies showed me the phone and it said "caller blocked". This was very unfortunate because this isn't my loss it's there's. I'll be honest im just a girl who likes nice nails so yes I will be picky if my $60 plus tip nails don't look the best but I have never done anything to bother or disrespect her in anyway. She makes you feel like you're not allowed to speak up if you don't like something. She would make me feel scared sitting in that chair because I couldn't speak up and I would always go home hating my nails. Overall, they don't respect their customers and the minute you want something on your nail fixed they start talking smack about you. They are horrible and greedy. I wouldn't suggest this nail salon because of how bad the customer service is. read more

I have been coming here about 3 years and this last visit will be my last. Kim always does my nails. This time, she filled my thumb nail much shorter than the rest. To correct this, the nail needed to be taken off and a new one put on. Kim aggressively took off the nail leaving a cut in the middle of my thumb. My thumb bled bad. It hurt so bad, it made me cry. Its been 4 days and the nail has hasn't felt right so I took it off and yellow liquid came out. This is how this salon treats a loyal customer. read more

I've gone to this salon 3 times now and Love Nails is fantastic! Everyone is nice, they take their time with their work and my gel manicure and pedicure really last. I tried out a couple of nail salons in the area that were okay, but now I won't be going anywhere else. Thanks to the team for always going the extra mile read more

I'm actually here for the first time and I LOVE it so far. I'm getting a pedicure and tbh I tend to have some crazy calluses. This young lady tending to my feet was a soldier and did an excellent job compared to another nail salon nearby in the Sprouts parking lot . I feel you definitely get your money's worth and a lot more than the competing location. Highly recommend! read more

After reading great reviews about this place I thought I would give it a try. I visited twice, the same lady did my pedicure both times. She did not clean my nail throughly, meaning did not remove all of my skin and cuticle. I've had pedicure at other places and definitely this one did NOT impress me. The place is clean, prices are fair. I did not enjoyed the lack of communication with me either. read more

Love this place and kim is great! Small nail salon and they prefer appointments but its worth it. Had my gel manicure done at two other local nail salons and the gel would break and chip before two weeks, have had mine now for close to that two week time and they still look great! No chipping or breaking. I highly recommend this place! Its worth the appointment. Thanks kim!! read more

Love Nails was nice. Prices were good. And the woman that did my pedi was sweet. I called to ask the best time for me to swing by...they told me noon. I didn't get in the chair til 12:30. :( They seemed a little under-staffed. But, I was happy with the results. read more

Walked in here after striking out at a nail salon down the street. All I can say is I am glad that happened because this shop is awesome. Everyone was super friendly and personable! The lady that greeted me asked my name and even though she wasn't my tech she remembered my name and asked how I liked the color of my nails while they were drying. My nail tech, Le did a fantastic job, exactly what I wanted. My husband came with and got a pedicure and the lady that performed did great. His nails naturally grown in a convex upward direction and can be difficult to work with. But, she did so good, his toe nails seriously look the best I've even seen! Thanks Love Nails for taking us Walk-Ins! read more

Went to this place for the first time. Very clean. The people that work here were all very nice. The whole family got pedicures, kids included. Kim and Wendie were really nice. I would definitely recommend going here. 5 stars in my book! read more

I like to go somewhere more than once to make sure my opinion is valid and not just a fluke(good or bad!) I have gone to Love Nails twice now and I don't think their great service is a fluke! They are very meticulous which I appreciate because I can be picky about how my nails are done. Some places feel like they are just rushing through to get as many customers in and out the door, but the ladies at Love take their time and make sure the job is done RIGHT! I have had gel manicures and a pedicure both times and was very pleased. I often come home from the nail salon and spend 30 minutes filing my nails to get them the way I like but they do it just the way I want at Love Nails! My friend recommended this place and it's my new go-to nail salon! read more

I don't ever post reviews but Kim deserves this. I have been coming to her for about 5 years. She makes my nails perfect every time and she actually listens to what you want/like. After 3 kids you don't really have a lot of time for yourself and Kim gets me in and out really quick. I moved up north and I will still continue to make the drive down to see Kim. read more
