    My husband and I are huge fans of the Mandalorian, w were going to see "Mando and Grogu" and I really wanted to have my nails done for the the event. Amber really did her "BIG" one on these! She drew these by hand so quickly. They came out so beautifully, these pictures don't do them justice. She superseded my expectations by far.

    I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I was genuinely disappointed with the quality of my nails considering I paid $160. I came in for a basic French manicure that my nail tech was unable to do and opted for basic red. Expect to pay $10 for cuticles. The polish application around the cuticles was uneven and messy, and the overall finish did not look professional or worth the price point for my pedicure which was $60. I expected much cleaner detail and better workmanship for a premium service. I was bamboozled from the pictures online. I've attached photos for reference because the results speak for themselves. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet expectations and I will not be returning.

    The nails speak for themselves!!! Amber has always done an incredible job and since the first time I came I've been a loyal client/customer of this nail salon for two years and counting! The vibe is always light and bright and it's always a joy to come in and get my all my nail needs done here. Ps. The nail retention is amazing! Some of the pictures show 5+ week nails!

    Excellent service! Greeted me with a Vietnamese coffee. Quick and a very good job!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Greeted me with a Vietnamese coffee that was excellent![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had one person in my pedi and then other on mani so I could be quick! Beautiful job and great service

    Visiting San Diego needed my nails done last minute. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was able to get an appointment and they were very courteous and prompt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely will visit again while in San Diego. Love the fall color they suggested. Received quite a few compliments. Thank you

    After having a gel manicure out of state, I really appreciated the attention to detail to my nails they provide here. Also, the nail polishes used are in good condition and tools clean. Also I like that they don't hurt my cuticles with their tools and the gel manicures last longer than 2 weeks (that's when the last one I got out of state started falling apart). I can usually walk in but they are pretty busy so call ahead if you can. Also you save 5% paying cash and they add $2 if you pay with a card so the prices are kind of not accurate since there's a different cash & card price. My gel manicure was listed as $41 though & looks impeccable!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been coming here for about 3 years and I've never been happier with a nail salon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's so easy to text for an appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always see Amber for my hands and Mimi for my toes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm a hairstylist so I'm pretty high maintenance and a bit picky. But they both always do such flawless work! Amber is amazing with any design I throw at her. Mimi makes my toes cute (somehow lol) [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've also seen Tammy and Kayla and they're amazing as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In a city like SD with nail salons on every corner, mission nails really set themselves apart! I'll forever come here

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]They scheduled me to come in and made me wait 30min.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was honestly just going with the flow after, but I'm posting this review as 2 of my fingers became infected after coming here. I've never had infected fingers after going to a nail salon.

    Mimi and Sophia are magicians! They will turn your nails from cavewoman/unsightly to Vogue magazine perfect. 10/10 recommend this salon. They play relaxing and upbeat pop music and have an ambient cooking/travel show playing in the background. The vibe is very girly and airy at this salon. Both Mimi and Sophia were super meticulous in their care of my nails. If they made a mistake, they corrected it instantly. Top tier salon for the mission hills area.

Azure is one of those rare people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in, took the time to assess my skin, and explained everything she was doing throughout the treatment. My skin looks brilliant, radiant, refreshed, and healthier than it has in a long time (early 40s takes its toll!) One of the biggest wins was that she was able to remove a ton of stubborn blackheads that had been bothering me, and my skin feels so much smoother because of it. She also gave me thoughtful, personalized recommendations for my skincare routine going forward without ever making me feel pressured to buy products. The space itself is clean, modern, calming, and with a beautiful view overlooking Balboa Park, which made the entire experience feel even more relaxing. If you're looking for an esthetician who is knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and delivers amazing results, I highly recommend booking with Azure. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending her to my friends and family!

I used to wax with regular wax and one time I tried hard wax and had a really bad reaction. I had heard of sugaring, but had never tried it. I live in Bankers Hill and I saw there was a sugaring studio called La Di Da Sugaring. I made an appointment to give it a shot and I absolutely loved it and would never go back to any other kind of wax. I used to get ingrown hair with regular waxing and since starting sugaring, I have never had any ingrown hairs or red bumps. I now recommend sugaring to everyone. This review is for Isabella. Isabella is detailed-oriented, super kind, and I love our chats when I visit. Thank you, Isabella, for making my visits comfortable and welcoming. No complaints about this studio. The only thing I would mention is that parking is hard to find, so if you live close by you should walk there.

Her technique is smooth, precise, and clearly demonstrates her expertise. It's evident that she takes pride in her work and knows exactly what she's doing. In addition to her professionalism, Ann has a warm and welcoming demeanor that makes you feel comfortable right away. I was so impressed that I went ahead and booked my next two appointments with her before my due date. As someone new to San Diego, I can confidently say I've found my go-to wax specialist.

I have thick brows that are easy to shape but this person who did mine -- Nahida, threaded my eyebrows too thin and uneven. Her hand also smelled of whatever food she was eating I'm guessing prior. I seriously didn't even want to comment about it but after my service and seeing how thin she did my eyebrows, I am so disappointed. The next day, I also woke up to wounds around my eyebrows :/ overall a bad experience. This was in the beginning of July. I went to a different salon for August and this lady, who saw me for the first time, also said whoever did my brows last made it too thin and unevenly shaped. Now I have to wait two months to grow it back. The salon is great, don't get me wrong. Almost always there is a line so it's not a quick visit. Price is pretty standard for SD. Just saying I hope this person does her job better.
