I visited Tori Nail Bar for the first time about two weeks ago for a pedi and hard gel mani, and I…read morehave been going back and forth on leaving this review because honestly everyone there was so nice. But two weeks later I am still dealing with the aftermath, so here we are. Starting with the good: the host, who I believe may be the owner, was genuinely great. Personable, funny, and he made a point to ask and remember every single customer's name. That kind of warmth is rare and sets a really welcoming tone. Now for the rest of it. I came in for the deluxe pedi, listed at $43 on the menu I was handed. It was the most painful pedicure I have ever had. The technician used an extremely rough file on my feet and cut me while clipping my nails, at which point I asked her to stop using clippers altogether. Not a relaxing experience by any stretch. As for the hard gel mani, she was not distracted or splitting her attention, she simply took two full hours on my nails. I went slightly short in length and chose a plain solid color. Nothing complicated. She had the same aggressive approach with the nail file throughout, and two weeks later I am still dealing with hangnails and rough skin. That is ultimately what pushed me to finally write this. Then came checkout, handled by the host himself. As warm as he is, the math did not work out. I was told my mani was $55 and my pedi was $48, coming to $103 cash/venmo or $104 with card. No explanation was given for the difference. Nice people do not always equal a good experience. I will not be returning.

I found Valley Nails on Yelp while looking for a new spot after moving from Carlsbad, and I'm so…read moreglad I did--it's super convenient to my work. It's located inside Phoenix Salon Suites, and even though it's a smaller space, it actually makes the whole experience feel more relaxed and semi-private. Everyone there is really focused on doing a great job, and you can tell they care about the details. Stephanie has done my nails for the past three visits, and I've loved them every time. She's amazing at shaping and filing, and always makes sure everything looks even and clean--without me having to say a thing. She's also just really warm and easy to talk to, which makes the whole appointment even better.

They've moved locations since my last review. They're currently in Phenix Salon which is closer to Sprouts and Burlington Coat Factory. When you enter go towards the left and it's the first door on your right. The other suite is at the end of that same hall. They currently have two suites but Stephanie said they're looking at another permanent location that's big enough to fit all their workers in. This setup in Phenix Salon is only temporary. Anyway, I came in at 10am on Saturday morning to get my nails done for Coachella. I showed Stephanie the strawberry nails that I wanted and she delivered!! Got a gel manicure and a higher tier pedicure and total for both was $110. I wish I got the name of my pedicurist because she did a really good job with scrubbing the dead skin and calluses off my feet. To be honest she's been the best pedicure that I've ever gotten at Valley Nails. It's been two weeks since Coachella and my toe nails still look pristine!!

My brother and I love getting our pedicure done together as a sibling hobby. After a fellow Yelper…read morerecommended this spot, we decided to check it out! Booking an appointment was fairly simple, we just phone called and booked an appointment with our name and number. Once we arrived, we were greeted and seated almost immediately. The chairs were comfortable and had a massage option. They did use disposable plastic to cover the pedicure tray and I was impressed by the hygiene standards. Nicky was helping me with the pedicure and she was super welcoming and sweet. She ensured that my pedicure was done perfectly. She also offered some water and complimentary champagne. My brother also had a good experience! Overall, we liked the nail salon. I did wish they offered student discount though. That was a bummer. However, I do recommend trying out this place. The people are nice and the service is excellent!

When you spend your hard-earned money at a salon, you expect quality work and a relaxing…read moreexperience. I hate feeling like a demanding customer, but for the price of a professional salon manicure, you shouldn't walk out with jagged edges and a visible gap at the cuticle. I wanted to leave feeling pretty, pampered, and ready to show off my nails, but I walked out feeling like I could've done a better job myself at home. I even paid extra for the Cat's Eye feature, but the effect is barely noticeable--it just looks like standard polish. The polish didn't go all the way down to the cuticles on some nails, leaving a massive gap that makes the manicure look like it's already a week old. The filing job was totally rushed. The sides of my nails have jagged edges, and the cuticle work was so poorly done that I left with hanging skin and ragged cuticles. It looks completely unfinished. It's incredibly frustrating to invest the time and extra cash only to receive subpar results.

This is my second time coming here and I booked with Natalie because I saw her nail portfolio and…read moreshe is the closest thing to what I wanted for my Gel X nail extension set with level 3 design. I would say the nails were almost perfect. I liked Natalie's honesty because she told me what would look good for my nail shape and she made sure to do the little things that would make my nail look good, polish and clean instead of just saying yes to everything. Overall, Natalie did so well that I am definitely booking again in the future. My only concern is the timing and the time allotted for each client. On the app, I am giving 1 hour and 30 mins. When I first came in, I had to wait about 20 mins before I got seated. Then, about after an 1 hour, 15 mins in, her next client came in and I can tell she was feeling rushed. So I would recommend giving extra time or edit the settings on the app to allot more time for each client. But other than that, everything is great!

It's under awesome new management…read more This place is located in a strip mall at the far east end of Mira Mesa Blvd. near the donut shop. I used to come here years ago, but they stopped running the air conditioner so I stopped coming. But since the new owner Huy, took over, he's been running the AC so I came back. He's also been making lots of changes, like changing the decor here and there. All are welcome improvements. They also offer complementary waters and soft drinks. But I have to say the star of this place is Kathy. She does such a great job with my French style nails. She's fast and she doesn't make me soak my nails in acetone for an hour like they do at other places. She uses her electric nail file to take off the old gel. I'm much happier, not having my hands sitting in chemicals. I think one day the scientific community is going come out and say that soaking in acetone was really bad for you. Anyway, it's a non-issue with her. She doesn't need it. Also, the product she's using is top-notch. Because I have gone as long as five weeks and not had any lifting. I could've gone longer, but I can't stand the long length when it grows out. Honestly, I've had zero lifting. This is not an exaggeration. I've been coming here for about 10 months now and never once have there has been any lifting, which is shocking to me. (most other places start lifting around 2-3 three weeks) Anyway, whatever product that they're using is amazing or she's got some special technique. Not sure which maybe both. All I do know is she is my girl now. I have to say she's not real chatty, but that's OK, because gives me a chance to unwind. And I don't feel like I have to share my whole life story. Also, I don't want to undersell the other ladies because they ALL do a nice job with the pedicures. I don't have any complaints so far. They also do eyebrows and I think facials, I haven't tried either of those yet. Lastly, , I want to mention that they do take appointments Give this place a try I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

There is street parking available, wheelchair accessible. There's a bathroom available upstairs /elevator if needed. They use great quality scrubs, masks and lotions, each scent come separately packaged so nothing is in bulk or double dipped. There are so many scents to choose from (my favorites Jasmine,Tangerine and Olive). My nail technician Hannah was gentle and took her time. There was no rush. I have been following and seeing Hannah for years, she's that intuitive and amazing. I'm on my feet for long hours and it's been awhile. There was discomfort with my big toe, Hannah managed to gently extract a massive ingrown toenail with skin attached. There was no bleeding or discomfort, just relief. It's common for me to get ingrown toenails, but this was a first having one this large. so I try and come in at least a half hour to soak. Hannah also gives a detailed facial! Appointment is needed.
