I relly enjoyed my experience.
Ghina P.

The place is spacious with a good amount of stations. The service is great as soon as you walk in. I did not have an appointment and they were able to accommodate me. I was assigned to Lynn T for a full set with french tips. Lynn was very patient and good a recommending what would look best. I'm very peculiar about my french tips. I don't like a pink looking base and she got ot just right. I would definitely be back for my fills and to try other services.

What I asked for
Nirel D.

I have been here four times before and usually request more complex nail art. This salon is capable of absolutely beautiful work, and in the past my nails have closely matched the reference photos. However, because I was the last appointment of the day at 5:30, the service felt rushed this time. I brought in a reference photo, and while the general color palette was similar, the final result did not closely match the inspiration. The marble effect looked more uneven and muddled than the soft, blended look shown in the reference, and the gold accents felt less intentional. Given that this salon is capable of detailed nail art, this result was disappointing. Also, the cuticles were not pushed back or trimmed, which made the nails look grown out immediately. The photos provided were taken the same day, yet the set already looks a week old. The space itself is beautiful, with luxury pedicure chairs and white marble throughout. Unfortunately, the pedicure experience did not match the setting. The massage portion consisted mainly of lotion being applied to my shins, and the callus remover was applied and then immediately rinsed off in the water. The actual removal took only about five to six seconds. While I do not have heavy calluses, the exfoliation was not done thoroughly or in the right areas, and there is still noticeable buildup. I really want to love this place and continue coming back, as their nail art quality can be excellent. That said, I may need to find a salon that either charges more for more detailed pedicure services or offers later appointments to avoid feeling rushed.

Tracy exceeded expectations with my lip wax, offering efficient and meticulous service. Her warm personality made me feel at ease. Even when I get lip wax service done, I usually get nervous. Nail Boss Salon has a relaxing ambiance in Mission Valley/Mission Gorge is noteworthy. I plan to revisit Nail Boss Nail Salon. * An informative tip: Sign up for their rewards program at check-in.

after I cut them off... look how thick they are!

I requested an appointment to get my nails done with Rita, I saw she had been name dropped a couple times and when I saw pictures of her designs, I thought they looked beautiful. I was excited to get it done and this was before a trip to Cabo for spring break, so I had been looking forward to this. I made an appointment and gave them a deposit. All was going well... While I was getting my nails done (acrylic medium length with design) they were BURNING, like BURNING terribly. I have never experienced this amount of pain while getting my nails done. She sprayed alcohol to cool it off (which sort of worked) but I knew something was up, it SHOULD NOT BURN. Fast forward to the end, my nails ended up looking so thick because she had put globs of acrylic on my nails. Mind you, I paid $165 without tip for the nails and toes, and I honestly could've done it myself at home. My toes genuinely look better shaped when I do it myself, they weren't squared right and some were crooked. Then back to my hands, the acrylic was so THICK and the design was so average, NOT WORTH THE PRICE. I am too scared to go back and get them filed/drilled off because there is a red ring around where the nail ends since she just shaved too much off of my nails, they're now super weak, especially with how much thick acrylic was weighing on them. I'm scared if I go back, they will shave too much off again and hit my actual nail. such an uncomfortable experience, and i also didn't tip because of how many red flags there were. my nails should not be burning, my nail tech should not be saying "its ok its ok" and try to calm me down when im in pain?? so overhyped and i regret going. i wish i had a picture of my toes but they were so unbelievably mid they i didnt even want to photograph them at the time.

My favorite nail salon ever! Everyone there is so nice and so talented. I always leave absolutely loving my nails! Nina and Tee do the most amazing designs and Kelly gave me the best pedicure I've ever had. I recommend this place to all my friends!! Just the best overall relaxing vibe!

Beautiful art by Anne

ANNE IS THEE MOST TALENTED, SWEETEST, AMAZING WOMAN TO EVER DO MY NAILS! I have had my nails done multiple times by Anne & EVERY single time she goes above and beyond. I am attending the World Cup & asked her to freestyle my nails & am blown away at how amazing she did. Go see Anne, you will not be disappointed!!

OG Gel Pedi Treats

I started coming here about 2 months ago and Lynn always does my nails so perfect! She gives me the best "clean girl aesthetic" nails every time! The ambiance is amazing and very relaxing! I will always recommend anyone to come get their nails done here!

My nails look fabulous.

My nails the red wine served to me the safe space. Tracey is my girl most are good. The place is large elegant and comfortable. Massage chairs so nice.

Thc H.

JESSIE did an amazing job on my nails. She can do any designs for you. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxed. They also served drinks and gave you the best massage ever! Highly recommended!!

Cathlyn saw my inspo picture and absolutely nailed it! I love my nails so much, can't wait to be back

Build a gel manicure

Got the build a gel/beauty gel nails for the first time. Lasted over a month, so much longer than regular gel. Love the atmosphere, cutely decorated. Always come here and grab a complimentary Vietnamese coffee. All the technicians are talented and kind

Gel pedicure
Michelle G.

I've heard such great things about Nail Boss, I just knew I had to try it out for myself. The experience here was calming & relaxing. Brought in my own nail gel since I had an event these nails were for I wanted to make sure the color was perfect. My nail tech didn't talk to me much outside of things regarding my nails. Pedicures start out around $38, & for tips it's either sent through: cash, Venmo or Zelle which seems to be the new standard these days (I had to download Venmo while I was there to tip-didn't know about their tip preferences since it was my first time there). Cute ambiance. Front desk staff was really nice to me. They offer drinks (wine & champagne) but I only saw that because it was on the menu, not necessarily because I was asked if there was something I would like. Overall, super cute nail salon & loved that they got my friend & I in right away with no appointment, we even got to sit close (she was getting a manicure). Big parking lot with lots of parking available!

I've been a loyal…read morecustomer at Lavender for five years and have referred coworkers, friends, and family because I've always had positive experiences. Until today, I've never had an issue. The older woman with dark hair and glasses who did my service was extremely rude and rough. Not only was the quality of work poor, but she continuously twisted, pulled, and yanked on my hands throughout the appointment. She muttered under her breath as if I was being difficult, yet never clearly communicated what she needed me to do. Clients aren't mind readers... simple, respectful communication goes a long way. She repeatedly drilled over my cuticles despite me saying "ouch" and instinctively pulling my hand back. It was uncomfortable and felt careless. The end result looked rushed and sloppy, and it was absolutely not worth the money spent. I was also told I needed a new set because my previous nails were too grown out for a fill. That would have been completely fine. I was willing to pay for a new set. Instead, she proceeded with a fill anyway and applied a poorly done chrome coating over it. I'm genuinely questioning whether this is the standard it's supposed to meet. To the owner: you truly have a wonderful team, especially Kevin, Tina, and MyLe, who have consistently provided excellent service. However, the behavior and quality of work I experienced today were unacceptable and have made me seriously reconsider returning. Kathy, you run a great salon, which is why this experience was so surprising. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as I can't imagine you would be comfortable with customers being treated this way.
