I've visited several head spas in San Diego, and Sophia is truly in a league of her own. She's a…read moremaster at her craft, and the level of care, detail, and skill she puts into every service is unmatched. I keep coming back because she consistently delivers the best experience, both in treatment and ambiance. I've tried the Basic Rejuvenation, Dandruff Basic, and Dandruff Advanced, and every single service has been exceptional. From the personalized scalp analysis and herbal tea soak to the hydro microdermabrasion, nourishing serums, and LED therapy, my scalp and skin always leave refreshed, balanced, and glowing. I struggle with dry scalp and eczema, and Sophia is the only person who has truly helped me. Her technique feels like a deep tissue massage for your scalp, plus a soothing face, neck, and upper‑back massage. The herbal steam, calming music, and her perfect pressure create the most relaxing environment. She uses both her hands and professional scalp tools, takes her time, never rushes, and genuinely cares about her clients. She previously owned a salon in Vietnam and taught these services, and it absolutely shows. Her expertise is one of a kind. She even finishes with a blow‑dry so you're not leaving with wet hair. For the quality and time she provides, her prices are incredibly reasonable for the San Diego/Chula Vista area. If you're looking for a head spa that delivers real results, deep relaxation, and a provider who truly knows what she's doing, go to Sophia. You will not regret it.

I used to be a regular at Peacock Nails and decided to try them again because I couldn't remember…read morewhy I stopped coming. That was a bad idea!!! First red flag, Sammy/Sammie had a face mask around his neck, not his face. He sneezed multiple times during my pedicure but didn't bother to cover his face. Gross! Second red flag, I chose the European pedicure with regular polish but he kept insisting I get gel polish. After refusing multiple times, he reluctantly started my pedi, but seemed really annoyed. Third red flag, he cut my big toe. I felt it immediately and the jerk didn't bother to apologize. WTF! Then I remembered why I stopped coming here. My daughter complained that they would always make one of her toes bleed at every visit. I won't return and I recommend others to stay away too! They definitely need to be retrained on hygiene practices and learn how to properly trim toenails without breaking skin!

She was so detailed, gentle, and patient throughout the entire pedicure. You can truly tell that she takes pride in her work and cares about making her clients feel comfortable.

If you're looking for someone who is gentle, thorough, and does an amazing job, I highly recommend Mimi! Just a little FYI--she is off on Mondays, so plan your appointment accordingly. Thank you, Mimi, for taking such great care of my feet!

So, I wasn't going to leave this review- I was just never going to come back…read more So I was getting Gel X done with extensions, the girl who helped me trimmed my cuticle and caused me to bleed a lot. In her panic, she put super glue on my cut to stop the bleeding, then put a washcloth back on it to stem the bleeding but ended up supergluing the washcloth to my finger. She then ripped the washcloth off my finger (which HURT) and had to spend 5min tweezing off the bits of washcloth that were not glued to my finger. She also gaslit me and said my skin was so thick, so it was my fault. Not only that- but she often applied too much glue and had to keep redoing her applications. Even after that horrific experience- I was going to let it go. I even tipped her $30 because I'm too nice and hate conflict. But we're barely 3 days in having these nails and already my thumb nail popped off in front of my friggin boss. Beware of this place. There's a reason why some people never return.

I brought in a picture of a specific nail style I wanted for this weekend and she absolutely delivered. My nails came out even better than I imagined! Tracy's customer service is amazing. She really takes the time to make sure you're happy with the results. The atmosphere is calming, the salon is clean, and everyone is so welcoming. Some may say it's a little out of the way but honestly, the service and reasonable prices make it completely worth the drive. And of course, it doesn't hurt to leave a good tip when you receive such great service! I highly recommend Tracy and this salon if you're looking for beautiful nails, great service, and a relaxing experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

We signed up for the same Pedicure services we had the first time and our second visit was night and day.

Thank you so much for being a business that not only listens intently but makes the effort to correct a deviation. Will be coming back next month for our next services. Excellent customer attention.

I can't recommend this salon enough! I've been seeing Bri for my nails, and she is absolutely…read moreamazing.

My nails have been able to grow out and although I've had some breakage, Bri always manages to make my nails look great!

Otay Nail & Spa has been open for 4 years the last time I was at location. It seems to be doing very well because there were a lot of people by 1:30pm. The customer service was great the only thing different was seeing a lot of dust in shelves and around the tables. Other than that, I'd come back. Happy Yelping :)

I really like coming here for a gel pedicure only. I don't schedule an appointment, but as a walk…read morein I usually get lucky the quality is consistent. I pay $45 for a basic gel pedicure. Today, the quality was lacking but I know that's not usual. I was quoted a 15 minute wait time and waited 25-30. They were really nice and gave me water. I also had to have gel paint removed from my toes, so that took an extra 10mins (no extra charge). Although, the menu says a pedicure is 25 mins, I was there an hour not including my wait time. In the end she didn't massage my legs or do lotion, just some oil and a hot towel. They didn't even help me put my sandals back on, she just went straight to the desk to wait for me to pay. If the pedicure process has changed, I'd prefer the menu description options reflect that. I noticed a difference in customer service as time went on and I declined a manicure. Oh well.

Lady who did my pedi did okay, although she kept asking me to do different things/designs when I kept saying I only wanted a solid color and she was talking to the employee next to her the whole time. I wish I was able to say something about the mani while I was there but the lady doing them kept putting my hand under the light right away and grabbing my hand to continue, she might've been in a rush, and I also had to leave somewhere right after I was done. Basically, it was done so sloppy and rushed. When she was done, didn't say a word, walked away and the lady who did the pedi took me to the front to pay. I should've known then something was wrong and should have checked my nails but I trusted them to do a good job. Mani/pedi gel, cost was $98, left $22 for tip. I guess if you want something done that is detailed, go somewhere else or find out who is good with doing detailed designs. The next day (today) I sent a message on their FB page seeing that they are active on it. They read the message and didn't reply. Will update this if/when they reply.

My nails were grown out a bit and painted black coming in and I wanted to switch up the color a little bit for my birthday but nothing too crazy. I decided on a blush colored cat eye polish. The woman who did my service was nice and quiet. I'm not generally a chatty person when I'm getting something done somewhere so I had my headphones on watching dramas. She was gentle with my hands which I appreciated. I've been some places where my wrist hurts afterwards. The only questions she asked was how short to cut them and if I liked the shape. The shape is different than what I came in with but it doesn't look bad. They have a bit more of a rounded apex when you look for the side and I like them more flat but it's not a big deal. It's just preference. I also got my eyebrows waxed. There's a small room right are the beginning of the hallway that is overcrowded for its size but serves its purpose. She was quick and efficient with my eyebrows. No complaints. The general feel of the place of slightly crowded because they have a lot of stations and pedicure chairs. The staff that didn't have clients were just scattered around doing their own thing. It seems like a nice place. Calm. I would go back if I needed to in a pinch and my regular person isn't available.
