Dan is the man. Everyone else..... so far not impressed. Dan does a gel manicure that lasts 3 weeks.

I was in need of a nail repair. So I decided to go here since this was the only place around me that was still open and a friend of mine goes here. I have learned my lesson with nail places therefore I first ask how much I will be charged for a certain service. Mostly because a lot of places either don't follow their price menu or whatever service you ask for End up costing more than what it should. Upon arrival I was greeted by what seemed to be the receptionist... so I asked him how much it would be for the nail repair and change of color since it would probably be hard to match the nail color I was already wearing. He tells me it's three dollars for a nail repair and eight for a color change. And I said fine I agreed and he asked if I wanted gel nail color or regular. I said regular. According to my math 8+3 is 11$. So then he asked me if I have regular nail polish on or gel polish, then says to remove gel is five dollars +8 dollars to change the color and four dollars for the nail repair. So now it's changed. The nail technician then calls me over and tells me It's $13. Now I don't know if this is how he tries to make his extra money but it's totally unprofessional. So how much is it going to be then -make up your mind!!! Once the girl had finished painting one hand I realized I should make the wallet out from my bag. And tells me to just pay now instead of after. Which was fine because I was happy with the way one hand turned out so far.. when I get to the register I told the guy it's $13. And tells me I was wrong. And I tell him the nail technician told me it was $13. He talks to her across the salon and she tells him it's $13. So I pulled out a hundred dollar bill, he grabbed a Calculator and did the math. As he punches in the numbers he says 100-13 and proceeds to give me my change. Hans me $83! Doesn't count it for me. So I'm holding the $83 in my hands and tell him shouldn't my change be $87? Instead of him apologizing he snatches a dollar bill (he doesn't politely ask me for it) and hands me a five. Thank you now I have $87. Either way he was trying to get money out of me. So anyone going in for any kind of service please make sure you count your change ... read more

I have been going to this place on and off for 5 years. I had one horibble experience and stopped coming for a whole year. I always have a bad experience here because they always RUSH! I came here mid day on a thursday. the place was normal and the lady rushed through everything!! I got a cut cuticle twice on my toes and once on my pinky!! Also, for the price you're paying.. its disgusting how they down have plastic on their pedi baths!! This pleace is not worth the money.. Manicures come out lumpy and yhe colors arent consistent. Also this place is not relaxing at all!! They all talk shit and are rude!! read more

I have been going there for years, but only recently I had a bad experience. I offended one them by looking at him the "wrong way". He started to make fun of me and others soon began to mock me. You know they are talking about you even in a different language. read more

This place really is NO good! I've given it about 3 tries and will definitely not be giving them anymore of my money. They are RUDE and unprofessional. I specifically asked for Wendy today because the last time she did my nails great (but didn't speak a word to me) but today was straw that broke the camels back. She misunderstood that I wanted a gel manicure and got mad at me, shook her head and refused to take off the clear coat to instead do the gel. I spent 81 dollars between my husband and I but that did not matter to them/her. I will NEVER be back. Save your nails and go SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

Nail Spa Plus - Bad picture but the paint has already chipped after only 5 hours. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Had a manicure to clean up my cuticles and acrylics done. The lady did a very good and careful job and they came out great! She took her time and I was going to have a party nail painted but I had a lunch date and didn't have time to wait. It was worth skipping the party nail because of the quality work she did. They still look great and I just had it painted a different color for accent to save time. read more

I am not sure who did my nails but she did an amazing job. I know that her station is on the left side I think 2nd seat. She took her time made my ombré perfect! It was not chunky like other places and have a perfect blend. The only complaint I have is the 3D flowers. She took her time with my hand on the left and I felt that she rushed it on the right. The petals do not look alike. Besides that, the shape and ombré I love read more

Nail Spa Plus - Perfect ombré blend wish she could have done a better job with the 3D flowers - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

$20 for a gel color WITHOUT manicure is outrageous! Not to mention the fact that lady at counter said $5 more for manicure when she tried to offer it;then person doing my nails said $23 more for French tip. So when I repeated "and $25 for whole manicure right?" she said yes. So let me clarify my conclusion....manicure is only $2 more?!!!! Not sure who was lying here or if generally prices are ridiculous. Either way never coming back here and certainly don't recommend it. read more

I love this place JENNIFER, and JULIA are the best! They are super into detail, show them a photo and they do it! They are both amazing, it is super clean, and they attend right away. read more

I had been coming here for years until today. Worst experience ever! Wont come back again! They were all super rude. No manners they seemed frustrated if i asked any questions. I walked out and left. I had never felt so disrespected. And not to mention they tend to be overpriced. So for that type of customer service? No thank you! read more

when ever I get my nails done everyone asks where I got them. I like the fact that I'm in and out in 1 1/2 hrs. (mani, full set & spa pedicure) Yes its a bit pricey but well worth it =) read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. There is absolutely no customer service here. I went in for a gel manicure and spa pedicure. There were no problems with my pedicure. My gel manicure was a real issue. Now, I have gotten many gel manicures before, and 2 at this specific salon. The first one I got here was beautiful, the second only lasted 4 days (I figured the manicurist did something wrong, but I was willing to give I another shot). This third time, the manicurist started and everything seemed fine. However I noticed she continued to apply color coats and then called other manucurists to come over and see. They kept pointing at the nails, and would ignore me when I asked what was wrong. They spoke in their language and wouldn't answer me. I looked at my nails and saw that the color was running and would not stay on the bottom or side of my nails. They then told me that it was a new color and it did not work. I asked if it could be changed then. They told me no, that it was too late and I couldn't change my mind. That they were going to fix it. By the time they were done, there were at least 6 employees there staring at me. My nails had about 5 coats of color so they were really thick and super messy. It did not look clean or professional at all. I let them know my nails were going to peel really fast since they were so thick and they said no, that they could fix them. As they were cleaning the the color started lifting, and I just asked them to take it off. 2 of them began taking it off with their nails, which should be really hard on a gel manicure. The whole point of a gel manicure is for them to look nice for at least 2 weeks. 5 minutes later my nails were completely damaged and really thin, since they peeled the gel manicure with their own nails instead of removing it properly. I told them that it was ridiculous, I had wasted 45 minutes and my Nails looked worse than when I got there. The owner informed me that they were not going to charge me for a gel manicure only for a regular one. I was annoyed because after wasting 45 minutes on this gel manicure the did not work, I didn't think they should have even charged me. A group of employees including the owner said that they had to charge me for a regular manicure. I was charged $30. Ridiculous!!! They have absolutely no concern for their customers, and I will never visit this salon again! They are horrible!!!! read more

Love the feeling when someone finally takes care of your nails! A gel manicure is 25$. On a Tuesday morning, it's not very busy. Keda (I think that's her name?) was very meticulous (yay!) & did exactly what I asked for without pushing (flowers, pedicures, etc.). You don't go for customer service or appearance. You go to get your nails done right. Definitely coming back. read more

I've had manicures, pedicures, and waxing service at this business. Its been ok so far, I'm trying to save money now days so i do my own beauty treatments at home now. read more

It was loud at front desk & unorganized..... the manicurist from the get go was distracted looking all around and not paying attention and telling me to relax (grabbing and shaking my hand at same time not sure how I was going to relax). she was making me soo nervous then she cut me with drill and blamed me i have never been cut with drill & blamed me then she started talking in her language and i know it was about me cause they all turned around to look at me it made feel uncomfortable so i got up and left and went to another salon to finish up i will never come back read more

I didn't like this salon I went in for a pedicure which was not worth the 28 dollars I spent especially for the polish to chip that evening. I would not recommend this place or go back. read more

I came to this place because of all the great reviews and it's like 5 minutes from my place. I was able to be seated quickly for a pedicure, which was a plus, then things just went downhill from there. This place doesn't put any kind of anything in your water, it's just your feet and clear water. No spa feel whatsoever. The lady starts to work on my feet and whatnot and has to stop because the machine was leaking water. So she soaked up the water with a towel then went back to working on my feet. Then a few minutes pass and more water than the first time is all over the floor, so she had to stop yet again to get more towels and clean up this big puddle. Then she proceeds to finish my feet. Long story short, my pedicure took no more than 10 minutes, MAX. This was the worst pedicure I've ever gotten. The price was good ($20) but I guess you get what you paid for. I won't be back. read more

*OVER PRICED SERVICES* they all do minimal work, and charge 40$ with NO gel and expect a tip. after I recieved my spa pedi, they expected me to walk through the salon with nothing on my feet, while my feet was clean and oily. Just the fact that I just spent money for a service I would expect for them to offer the paper sandals while my toes dry. When i asked they acted as though it was a problem. Then when I got to my car, the sandals riped anyway. Honestly, I would've put no stars if there was a opinion. PLEASE! you can find other locations more with reasonable pricing, as well as make it worth your wild! read more

Came in when they were about to close and they still took me in to do my pedicure. 2 weeks later my diamonds are still intact. Good service and great work. Coming back for a gel manicure. ;) read more

I enjoyed visiting this salon for a while. After a few visits, couple months apart, I noticed the services were shortened.

They do not take credit card, but people there were nice. They did a pretty good job. I wish they had pedicure packages instead of ala carte. I have been twice and both times were good. read more

I wish I had pictures, but I went in to get acrylics and the man doing my nails was constantly distracted by other things whilst doing my nails. Multiple times he answered phone calls, stopped to talk and trade cigarettes with his coworker, and was ignoring his job to the point where he cut so deep into my cuticles on multiple fingers and used the DUST from my nail to cover it and dry it up, then told me not to wash my hands to keep the blood dry. Me, being too shy to say anything this whole time, just thanked him and paid. I haven't gone back since, and I would not recommend this place. read more

The only place I've gotten my nails done since high school. They started acrylic glitter tips in San Diego, I'm certain of it! Prices are moderate. A little pricier than most average salons but less than the more high end. I only go to Tina, she's awesome. read more

I Love Tammy. She's the best. Always does what I want. I strongly suggest making an appointment.

I decided to get a pedi here because I had dropped my car off at meineke. I was greeted as I walked in and was directed towards a manicurist. Ana helped me with my pedicure, at first I felt as if she was somewhat bothered, turns out she's just a quiet soul. I loved it, I'm not much into small talk. She took her time and did a thorough job. I am beyond happy with the results. I believe I paid 20 for the pedi & 15 for the gel. I will be visiting again!!!! read more

Been coming here for a really long time and always get compliments on my nails. Jimmy is the absolute best. Also recommend Tammy, Tony, Rosa and Gail. My only complaint is that appointments mean NOTHING here. I can be waiting up to an hour after my appointment time for service. So frustrating. If you don't care about what person handles your nails it is usually pretty quick. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. They left my nails crooked and all of them looked different some round and some squared. The owner was rude and did not want to fix my nails. I've been going for years and i'm never going back. Disgusting job done today. read more

I have avoided this nail shop because I heard the prices were extremely high, but I was desperate so I gave them a try. (Huge mistake). I spent $78 on a Full-Set with gel, and a regular pedicure which came out okay, but it honestly wasn't $78 worth. They weren't very personable & when I was asking the nail specialist to do something specific to my nails, she just stared at me with a blank face and huffed and puffed like I was inconveniencing her. I literally won't ever go there again. Not even if I'm desperate. read more

I found this place on my way to doctors appointment and I love it. They not only do a grate job that lasts almost more than a month but have about every color of the rainbow. Super nice. Never had to wait more than 5min to get attended. My sister and I love it. read more

Awful service, and rude technicians. Came In for pedicure and it was the worst pedicure I've ever gotten. They charge $20 for basically a 15 minute service. It was super rushed. But the lobby area was dead with no clients. The technician got mad when asked to fix her mistake. Never again. read more

I love my girl Tammy!!! I drive all the way from Rancho Penasquitos to get my nails taken care of by her!!! and these other females up on here say the prices are too high... HA!!! try getting your nails done in north side... the prices are decent and I have been coming here for 7 years (i use to live in the area). read more

I should have paid attention to the reviews before going to this place, I literally live across the road from it so I said why not. I first walked in and no one greeted me - should have walked out then. So a guy asked what I wanted to get done - I had eyebrow, manicure and pedicure. Not happy with the mani or pedi after 6 hours my manicure has started to chip and peel, the issue with my pedicure is the lady didn't even do a base coat and the entire experience was mediocre. Visit this salon if you want to and obviously at your own risk - you will regret it! Convenience is not always the best. read more

horrible place!!!! rude. not customer service. and dont listen to what you ask for.! if i could give it zero stars i would. read more

Best nails I've gotten so far!!!! I love them! I recommend them so much they put a lot of effort and the service was great too read more

I DONT RECOMEND THIS PLACE. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I walked in to this place to get a manicure and gel polish on my natural nails. The guy who did my nails (I have to say) was very rude. I asked him for more colors and he said very sarcastic " do you need more colors?" Then he throws me another basket with more color samples. Then he start removing the old gel on my nails, after waiting a little bit for the polish remover to work he sanded my nails to remove the rest of the gel. This is not the first time I get may nails done (obviously in a much better place) usually they let the polish remover work with some foil paper and then they remove the gel with a nail scraper and then sand the nail a little bit. Well, this guy didnt use that much polish remiver and instead he sanded my nails a lot to the point he left them super thin. At that point I thought he is going to put more leyers of gel to make it thicker but he didn't. So I went home and few days later my nails started breaking. So I went back to this place and the lady that is at the front desk told me that my nails were thin naturally and they cant do anything about it and if I wanted they can do aclrylic nails on top of my nails but I have to pay. Even though I explained her everything what i just said, she didnt care and ignore me. I have very thick nails and this nwver happened me before. She also asked me why I didnt say anything to the guy that was helping me and to be honest I should. I'll never come back to this place with no customer service at all. They dont care and will never accept they did something wrong. I have to give them one star because you cant do no stars. read more

I'm sitting at I Love Nails as I type this review for Nail Spa Plus. I was at this salon about 2.5 weeks ago for the first time. I decided to try it because it was closer than I Love Nails. When I walked in there were about 4 customers and about 10 employees. I had to get someone's attention for them to acknowledge me. From then I was seated at the nail bar picking gel colors. While doing that and waiting for a good 20 mins, I observed an employee napping in the massage chair, employees gathered around watchong youtube videos, and a few eating lunch and others working on clients. When I was seated at the massage chair I noticed they didn't have the plastic cover for the foot bowl. So I had to soak my feet on the bowl where all other clients had their bare feet soaked theirs. I should've run at this point. But I decided to continue this train wreck. Their tools were not in those plastic wrapping after being sterilized. So I wasn't entirely sure how clean the tools were. I got my pedicure and it was a decent job. I then moved to the manicure station. At this point now I know how their tools were cleaned. All the tools were in the barbicide...blue chemical glass container. Once she needed them she just took it straight out of it. The nail table was still dirty from the last client and the towels looked so dingy. My rags at home looked better than that. In the end the gel nail job was decent as well. Nothing spectacular. I paid 56.. and nice enough to tip $4. Needless to say I'm not coming back to this. And now I'm back at I Love Nails getting a great service for a great price, good customer service and clean salon. read more

$$ Pricey!! Terrible customer service and my nails looked like I had done it with my eyes closed! Paid too much for Gel nails that cracked! Went to complain the next day and the guy called me a liar!! Then changed his attitude and told me that it was the factory's fault and that it was because of the brand of the Gel!! If you are going to charge so much then use good brands!! Did not want to fix it and sent me home upset and labeled as a liar!! I found a better place in Chula Vista that even insures that your gel is gong to last two weeks or they fix chipped nails or cracked for free!! read more

Hmmmm I've been reading all these reviews some good some really bad. I believe everyone has the right to say how they feel. I do see that a lot of the people posting a bad review gives the nail salon a bad review for one person who did something wrong. I have been going there for 16 year! Yes that long lol I've had different ladies do my nails and eye brows sometime better than others so all I did was try another until I found the best. Hands down Tina is the best!!! Fast reliable clean long lasting work. I go for a refill every 3 weeks and it looks great. My eyebrows Jessica or Rosa very good job. I love the work I will not change shops ive done the cheaper shops and I had to refill 2 weeks later so it actually costs more. So plz try it for yourself go to Tina she is awesome! read more
