I always come in around 10-11am and have luckily never waited more than 5 minutes, even without an appointment. While the nail tech who was supposed to be doing my nails was finishing up with another client, another tech helped out by getting me started and removing my previous gel color. In hindsight, I would make an appointment just in case because the shop is small and there were already quite a few customers in the morning. $50 for gel removal and French tip gel with designs. My nails definitely held up with no chips for about two weeks. My only quip is that one time I needed acrylic tips for a few fingers since my nails were so short. The acrylics weren't applied very close to the nail, as if it was lifting a bit. It got the job and the look done but I definitely had to wash my hands more thoroughly each time because dirt would get stuck underneath.
TLDR: make sure to double check they understand what you're looking for before it's too late. Disappointed. There was a significant language barrier when I went in today, which is usually fine at nail salons, but they either misunderstood or just did their own thing. Even though there were zero customers when I came in, I still felt really rushed to pick a color. I got a gel manicure and pedicure, which was about $85. The disappointment came in realizing they got the pedicure color wrong and when I saw how low they filed my nails to make a shape I didn't want. I did ask for a polish color change long before they started painting, because I was rushed to make a decision, they accommodated, but I guess got the wrong one. Ended up with a luminous finish I didn't want. I couldn't see what the woman was doing as she was painting my toes because they had a big pillow on my lap doing the manicure. The gentleman doing my nails filed them way too short, which is where most of my frustration is coming from. He had asked if I wanted square tip, and because my nails are already short right now, so I said no, only a little evened out because I didn't want them shorter. Well, he went to town on my first hand, and by then it was too late, the only thing to do was to make the other hand equally short and stumpy. They'll grow back, but for the price and the fact that I was getting them done for something important, I'm still really upset by this. Respectfully, if he didn't understand he should have asked. Overall, if the language barrier is that significant (as it seemed to be tonight); maybe there should be a photo menu of shapes or something so both parties are in agreement about what is going to happen. Some of the nails were a little more rounded on the very edge, which they should be, and others were sharp points where he had filed in the side in more. No nails should have had sharp points on them to scratch yourself or break a nail easier. I had to ask for a file to make them closer to the same and get rid of the sharp points on a few nails, because he didn't understand, but I definitely shouldn't have to do that. Not a big deal, but still. It seems like the word "tip" is the same in the language they were speaking as English, because even though both of them could I was disappointed by my nails about 1/2 way through when I saw how short the first hand was, nobody asked me about it. Instead, when I went to pay, the woman who did my pedicure said to the other guy something I'm 95% sure was about the tip (which, I'm sorry, but it is incredibly rude to: 1. Talk around me like I'm not there and 2. Talk about your tip when you can tell I'm disappointed and haven't asked at all why to try to correct it). A younger woman came in when I was about 80% done and came up to the counter when I noticed the color was wrong, which I didn't see right away because I was upset about the length of my nails, and asked me if everything was ok. She was nice, but there was nothing she could do to fix either issue at that point. I told her it is what it is, and paid. I wouldn't have accepted a discount, but no one offered, just looked at me like "welp." Left more than 20% tip, cause I'm not an asshole, but won't be back. The manicure/pedicure are okay if you don't look close. The manicure needed more skin around then nail removed, and would have been nice if he painted closer to the nail so it didn't look a week old the door.
This nail salon never disappoints. I'm very picky with shape and Kevin did it so well and so quick!! I also got a gel pedicure French tips and my toes look so pretty. Love the staff!!
The worst pedicure I have ever received , I honestly could have just done it myself. It's hard enough getting my boyfriend to go to the salon with me so I told him I would get him a pedicure ! We just wanted the basic $20 pedicure. We arrived just before 7pm (they close at 7:30pm) the nail woman who did my boyfriend barely did anything did not clean in between his nails(which is the only reason he agreeed to a pedicure ) The woman looked angry & left just after 10min.... the woman who did my toes was not wearing gloves and did not cut my toe nails like I asked.... she barely filed them. She applied 3 layers then immediately put my flip flops on . Making me feel like I had to leave... I waited a little bit it seemed they wanted us to leave. I still tipped which I regret. My toe nails go smeared like an hour later. It's been a week. I would not recommend this nail shop.
I love my nails so much shout out to Kevin he is so talented he made sure my cousin and I went home happy with our new nails obsessed make sure to check this place out!!
This was my first time here. The salon is very cute. I came in on a Wednesday morning. It wasn't too busy and everyone was very nice and professional. I was recommended by a friend. I had a great experience and my nails were done just how I wanted them. My nail tech for my manicure is on IG @l.beautybeauty I also had a pedicure and I am very picky about the white on my toes. I like it to follow my natural curve. I believe Julia did my pedicure and she did a really nice job. I was specific with what i wanted and she didn't disappoint. I had a gel removal, a powder ombré manicure, and a French pedicure. I do a similar service at another salon and it's usually $75. Here is was $93 - it was a little more than I was expecting and I can't find pricing online to see what the breakdown was - however I didn't ask while in the salon. Overall a really nice job
I went there for about 6 months and also recommended them to my friend too because their service and quality was fair at the beginning. I did my nails done with Julia every single time I went there. But unfortunately her attitude started to change. She didn't pay attention and was always in a hurry. She made my fingers bleeding couple of times and seems nothing happened!!!! Also the salon and their tools are not clean. I didn't see she sensitize her tools even once!!! She use the same tool for everyone without cleaning in between. The other bad point is that even we made an appointment, we had to wait very long time to be seated specially on the weekends. I don't recommend Julia and this place at all!
Julie was absolutely amazing. She Opened up her doors early just to take me in so I had enough time to get my nails done before I had to head to work. (Very accommodating) she is obviously very skilled I got referred from my best friend who had just got her nails done and looked amazing! The cost was perfect for what I got definitely not over charged which is the reason I strayed from my previous nail lady was overcharging me and not giving me exactly what I wanted. Let me tell you, Julie gave me exactly what I wanted. So so so happy with my nails and my Experience. Thank you Julie!
Rushed and patchy and wasn't given lash bath before you given lash shampoo like she said she would she also cut our bottom eyelashes because they stuck to the top corner. Definitely not worth 135$. My friend birthday lashes she doesn't like them she said there's so many gape.we both wanted them think but I'm sure she would've done better if she didn't rush.
Cindy is awesome. she takes her time and really pays attention to detail. she made my nails INCLUDING my cuticles look awesome! I think I found my go to spot. They have a wide variety of colors including the trend that's poppin right now.... chrome. Keep in my mind chrome polish here is $10 and up extra, but it's well worth. Everyone here was really nice. Oh and don't forget your punch card too. Prices are "moderate", but I felt it was worth it. I will be back again soon for a pedicure. Thanks again Cindy!
I have been coming here for quite some time now since I moved to San Diego. All the ladies here are lovely and always give me a positive experience. Every time I have a concern whether is be breaking, staining, or anything they will gladly help and repair. My beautiful yellow flower nails were done by Kayle! Go see her! She also does permanent makeup as well! My pink and white nails were done by Julia! She is extremely talented and will give you beautiful acrylics!
This is my third time getting dip/powder nails done here. I've had Julia and Linh both and they're amazing! I've spent over a year trying to find who does my nails as well as my previous lady (who lives in Houston) and now I've found two! Julia and Linh both pay very close attention to detail. They make sure my nails are perfect length, shape and color wise. They don't rush and take their time. I love that they have a new way of applying the dip powder that makes it quicker, more even, longer lasting and better color wise when doing ombré. So happy that they're also under 2 miles from where I live. I will keep coming back for sure!
2 stars because the quality of the work, particularly with the more experienced technicians is fairly good. In the 1+ year of me going here (off and on), I never had issues with breakage for my medium-long acrylics. The story below is a pretty good read lol but if you don't have time to read it all...in short, don't waste your money here. There are so many other nails salons (close-by) that will do a better job and respect their paying customers. With that said, I will never be attending this nail salon again. As a hard working woman with a once a month indulgence away from corporate America, I genuinely wanted to share my experience to other hard working individuals who are contemplating spending their money here. See below: One week ago, I came here to get a fill. I expected it to be packed due to Thanksgiving. No worries! They were able to seat me within 15/20 minutes. I didn't recognize the tech that they gave me (no biggie) BUT she was doing a pedicure prior to sitting with me and I did not see her wash her hands (lol eww, wth). Anywho, I'm just getting a fill which takes 1 hour or like hour 15 min tops. This girl is soooo slow,omg. No lie, it took her like over 2 hours. I bit my tongue the whole time because I wanted to be patient and I wasn't really in a rush. But seriously?!? The other techs starting making comments and she would try to rush...but she'd still just kept doing something and then re-doing it. She must have filed my nails for an hour alone . It got so bad that the main nail tech woman literally like pushed her out the seat and finished up my polish. Again, a good practice in patient but I was surprised that none of the other experienced techs (who were instructing her and making comments the whole time because she was obviously new) said anything to me like "oh sorry it took so long, our bad. We talked to her about it." At the least, right? I thought so. But ok, I paid, left a tip and left. And before you say "It wasss the day before Thanksgiving" ....surprisingly it wasn't busy. I maybe saw like 4/5 people come in and 2 of them had appointments. There were over 5-7 nails techs there alone. (Side bar) **these technicians are literally the most obnoxious I have ever experienced. In my years, honey! They talk so clearly about things and people in broken English, rudely and laughing** (again...I'm just a hard working woman here, idk who hurt them but it wasn't me sis) Fast forward to today, my thumb nail broke completely off so I went there to have them fix it. I walk in, show them, and the main woman who sits at the very front yells out (again so obviously) "is it gel?!?" or something of that nature. All the younger girls yell back "Gel" in English and start laughing. I'm like "ok lol so....." I got the nail fixed but the whole time they are like swarmed around me talking, laughing, and being goofy. No worries, but I've never seen a professional salon behave so freely (again with broken language and gestures) around customers. Particularly a return customer. At the end, I get ready to leave and say good bye. One woman yells to the girl that did my nails. She then asks me for $3. I left her my $5 which I was going to leave her for tip. Out of curiosity, I asked why I had to pay. Typically a salon will honor the quality of the product especially if it is recently done. The girl responded "after a week, we have to charge you. (I had my done exactly 1 week ago to the day) if you came sooner like 3 days after then we would have covered it." Again, just thought that's useful information for anybody that's thinking about going here. *update* literally the next day ANOTHER nail breaks off clean. See pictures. Not only is it painful but it reminded me of another thing I forgot to mention. So when I first got this set done by the less experienced tech, I noticed that she didn't even touch the back of the nails. After an hour of filing, she missed that whole part. Typically they will take a cone like machine to clean out the back. When the more experienced tech took over, I asked her if she could do this for me. SHE LAUGHS to the other girls and is clearly complaining about my request. Mind you, I am the customer that has already been patiently sitting here while you let a new girl "practice" on me... She begins to file the back (on my already polished nails...?) and then takes out nail glue. She ask starts taking nail adhesive to the back of my nails and still laughing to the other girls. I must have missed the joke because I've worked in the service industry for several years and I would NEVER be so brazenly rude. So now, as you can see in the picture. When the nails are literally falling off (this is now the 2nd nail in 1 week), they are now painfully glued to the top of my real nail that's growing underneath. Also, this fill has now cost me $50+ with the "repairs". Not even a fresh set, we're talking about a 1 week old touch-up.
First time here- needed to be within close proximity to my husband's out patient surgery center, a few blocks away. I always look up reviews on Google & Yelp. Although Yelp reviews for Nail & Relax Spa are more frequent on Yelp than Google- I decided, Why not? I always aim for being the first customer of the day- which I was happy to get since I was on a timed slot to be back in time to pick up hubby. Thankfully I was able to get 2 nail techs for my gel mani & pedi working on me at the same time. Took advantage of the complimentary chilled white wine while being worked on. My services were done before 10:30am. I couldn't sit idle and waste time, but, if I wasn't on such a time crunch- I would totally go to Nishiki Ramen next door for lunch. Staff was great& polite. read more
This is a wonderful place and it is also a family business! I have never met anyone like Emily or her husband who are so talented at making nails match Pinterest expectations. This is the only place I will go to for nails which by the way, these nails are so strong they won't shatter from sports like tennis and basketball, hobbies like gardening or even working on your car dealing with grease under the hood! These nails are the closest thing I've encountered to indestructible and breathtaking! read more

I love this place, they always have relaxing music playing and the atmosphere is very calming. Everyone is very professional and attentive to customer service. Kathy is very patient and dedicated, I love her designs and her attitude. I am very happy with my nails, the designs have lasted quite a while and I have not had any problems with the acrylic deteriorating. The material they use is very good and it lasts a long time. Highly recommended and at a good price too. read more

Ask! For! Julie! Wow she is so amazing. I've been to this salon several times and Julie is truly the best. She pays so much attention to detail and takes her time and was super patient with how picky I was with my nails. You know how sometimes you'll leave the salon, go outside in the sun light, and find tiny tiny mistakes like stuff left under your nail or a bump in the acrylic? Literally none of that with Julie. I can't praise her enough. I will definitely be asking for her and only her whenever I come here, she's earned herself a loyal customer. :) The salon is also very clean, but it is small, like maybe 4 or 5 seats for manicures, so be prepared to wait a little if the salon is full. (Again, if you get Julie the wait is 100% worth it) Also, be sure to plan out a chunk of your day to get your nails done here. It always takes around 1.5-2hrs whenever I'm here. read more

Came into this shop only because it was convenient for me and in the area since my boyfriend wanted to treat me to get a manicure for our anniversary! This nail shop had a lot of good reviews so I had to give it a go. I walked into a very welcoming environment, asking for a full set acrylics for the "pink & white" ombre option on their menu, and in coffin shape form. Tam was the one who did majority of my nails and then Lin came in to take over on reshaping my nails, then Tam came back to finish it off. Tam took her time on doing my nails and did the ombre really well, everything was smooth until she filed the side of my finger really hard and I started bleeding lol! She said sorry multiple times though and I wasn't too angry about the cut (me being nice) haha. The nails itself are gorgeous! I think the ombre was good until she added this clear liquidy polish and the pink kinda transferred into the white too much on my left hand but nonetheless, I still love my nails!! I couldn't be too mad only because I feel like doing an ombre nail is so detailed and hard to perfect. She really did her best! This full set was $55! I actually didn't bother to look at how much prices were at the shop so that was pretty pricey for me lol! Lastly, This place was really clean, and the staff was so nice! I honestly wouldn't mind coming back here in the future, regardless of the cut. read more

I gave this 2 stars as I gave this salon 2 tries. Each time my nails looked amazing BUT they broke within 1 week. First time I had 3 nails break and 2nd time I had 2. I have never had this issue before with any other nail salon. I am not rough with my hands either. Also disliked how long it took. I appreciate the extra but I expect my nails to be perfect if it takes 2.5 hours for a fill. I will not be going back as I gave them 2 chances too. read more

I got these done by Lynn after looking for a new nail shop. I'm receiving alot of compliments and I like how she shaped them and applied the acrylic flat for a natural look. The lady who did my pedicure did an amazing job, exactly what you'd expect in a pedicure... only downside is that the Chairs are not equipped to give massages while you sit. That would make it perfect if the chairs had massage feature. Other wise I'm pleased and will definitely be going back !!! read more
Hubs wants to go out tonight, but I gotta get my Pedi on first. I come in here at 3pm on a Friday and there are plenty of chairs open. I ask for a pedicure and pick out my color. She has the water ready and at the perfect temp by the time I get done. She takes her time and gets all of the dead skin and shapes my toenails. The massage is light, but very relaxing and they use Hot Stones here. The only thing that is kind of a bummer is that they don't turn the entertainment on while I am here. I could use some music videos or Lifetime stalker movie to make the time pass faster. Also they didn't offer me water, which is a normal thing for salons. (Update: as my nails were drying they Did finally offer it, woohoo) Good thing my toes look super fly and my feet feel amaze-balls. I will be back for the hot stones, you know it.. read more

To be completely honest, I had my doubts coming into this shop, because it didn't have a lot of current reviews for eye lash extensions and the location. I originally made my appointment at my usual place across town, but they cancelled on me twice because apparently the client before me showed up super late so they couldn't see me. I called this shop and they were able to see me right of way. I was pretty shocked. Mind you that I live two hours away and today was the only day I could get my lashes done. I havnt gotten my lashes done in weeks and I felt like a disgusting mess. Julia took her time with my lashes because I've had my lashes done continuously for years, therefore my lashes are extremely thin and I only had a few of them left on my eye. Julia took a little over an hour for my volume fill and they looked absolutely amazing. She made me feel like a completely different person. The room for lashes only fits one client as well, so you won't be crowed in a tiny room with other people's germs either. This will definitely be my new spot. Thanks so much Julia. read more

I consider this place a one stop shop for all your beauty needs with a fair price. Pedicures in massage chairs, manicures (gel, dip powder, acrylics, nail art), lash extensions, facials, brow waxes, you name it. I've only done pedis and manis here. Basic pedis come with the massage chair, hot stone and feet massage. Basic manis come with a hand massage at the end. I could talk about a few of my bad experiences over the past 3 years but I feel like that's normal with any nail salon. Your experience always depends on the technician you get and your own preference for how you want your nails to look. I've been here so many times, I've found the technians that I personally like. I keep returning to Ann and Vy. I've also heard raving reviews here on Yelp and in person about Julia the manager, I believe she's queen of acrylics and extensive nail designs. read more

It's my third time in this salon and I am not sure if I would never come back anymore. I made a reservation as always and they got me in 20 min later. My nails looks horrible it was a very bad job definitely I asked to cut my cuticle and she said that would have to charge $5 dollars extras and I said it's not a problem I just want to be satisfied. She took my cuticles without even put in the water it was so dry it hurts so bad I asked her to put my hands in the water and she didn't even respond me. I decided to not complain I was very sick today. So, finally I went to do my eyelashes and she was as well in a hurry she hurt me 2 times and now I have my eyelashes missing so much hair! It's not completely full as the other time. I am so frustrated I have a big event coming up and my nails looks terrible my eyelashes looks as much Terrible as my nails. I am so disappointed !!!! I want my money back or I want you guys fix read more

I drove in this plaza to go to Ross and noticed the $30 mani pedi special and decided to try it out today. I walked in at 1:00pm no appointment and was taken care of immediately. Vee did my manicure and Tracy my pedicure. Nice job done all in 1 hour and 15 minutes. They suggest cash for tips. I will definitely go back. read more

I was recommended to this nail salon by a dear friend... TIP! make sure you ask for Julia, she can do it all and she's amazing at it! She's a perfectionist, patient, and very kind! I'm obsessed with my nails and can't wait for my next visit! I also tried lash extensions done by Julia as well. Left feeling like a million bucks!! :) easily has become one of my favorite nail salons!!!! read more

Loved this place! If only I had gotten the technicians name! I actually had two, one did the manicure & most of the gel part, then a second one did the rest and the chrome. I was dying to try the look! They both did a phenomenal job, the 1st manicurist cleaned my nails really good all the way around & didn't hurt me which is a pet peeve of mine. And the second manicurist was so detail oriented, loved the finished product! Will definitely be going back! read more
