Lee was the sweetest ever. She gave me the most perfect manicure, and added hard gel on top of my nails to make them grow stronger without me even having to ask. She was also so sweet and wad able to fit me in last minute and even called me back to let me know she made time to squeeze me in Friday. read more

The service and affordable prices are unmatched. They want to make sure you're happy with the results. I will definitely be back.

I was looking for something local and convenient, and after reading some positive reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit disappointing. I had a long day and am also pregnant, so I was really hoping to unwind and relax. I did make an appointment and even came in earlier than I preferred, but I still had to wait quite a while. While my feet were soaking, the nail technician asked if she could do another client's eyebrows, and I agreed thinking it would be quick. It ended up taking about 20 minutes, and then another eyebrow client was taken as well. After being there for around 40 minutes with my pedicure still not started, I canceled my other appointment for the evening and asked her to take whoever she needed so she wouldn't feel rushed with me. The technician was kind, and I tried to stay calm and make the best of it, but the pedicure itself felt rushed. My feet weren't cleaned as thoroughly as I would have liked, and there was a small cut that caused bleeding toward the end. On the positive side, my toes did come out really beautiful. The service was $30, which is very affordable, and I do think you get what you pay for. While I appreciated the friendliness, the overall experience wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped. I would like to come back but I most likely won't be back. read more

First time coming here and came for a fill and pedicure. Not a fancy place to go to but overall not bad for the price. Paid only $51 for a fill and pedicure with regular polish. Quoted me originally $60. Cash only establishment. Wish they have more equipments like dust collecter as dust was all over me while they were doing my nails. Over all I will come back to support this small business! read more

I really wanted to like this place because the prices are affordable, and the nail tech is super sweet and welcoming. Unfortunately, the sanitation practices are seriously lacking. My nail tech was going back and forth between me and another client, applying acrylics on me and painting her nails without washing hands or at least hand sanitizer. They also reused nail files and tools on the clients before me, on me, and on the client after me without sanitizing them or even the work station in between. What really concerned me was that they cut me with the electric nail file, and then immediately used the same bit file and tools -- now with my blood--on the next person without sanitizing it. That's a major health risk and completely unacceptable. On top of that, my nails turned out ood. The shape was uneven, the polish had noticeable defects, and the nails weren't even symmetrical. read more

This is my go to nail salon in IB. Like some of the comments mention, this isn't the place to go if you're looking for an upscale experience, but if you're looking to get good work done at an amazing price then this is the place. When I was getting married a couple of years ago I shopped around at other salons in the area and Lee did the best job by far and charged far less. I shared some of my favorite sets that she's done for me over the years. read more

I mean it's outdated no doubt and I thought it was funny that for the pedicures they fill up buckets of water but I loved them. I was VERY happy with how well my nails came out. Also the best price I've paid for nails in like 10+ years. The price is unbeatable and will keep me coming back. If you're looking for a fancy and ambient nail salon this isn't it. If you're looking for GREAT nails and GREAT price and friendly people this is it read more

Nail tech is great! If I'm not satisfied with something nobody makes me feel bad or talked bad about! Lee has been doing my acrylics and it's been nothing but a great time. My husband and I don't have childcare most of the time and Lee welcomes our 2 kids with us (of course when it's not busy, they're rascals), and all the staff is always soooooooo beyond amazing to our whole family. My oldest son was getting antsy (3 years old) so one of the staff who was doing my husbands toes grabbed a chair next to his daddy and put his feet in the water and massaged his feet too! Not to mention it was not charged to me. (A lot of places like to sneak little fee's in the last moment). I'm grateful to be able to relax, be loved and treated like family. Thanks Lee! read more

Nail Tech - Acrylic man & gel pedi - Nail Salons Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

I had came in as a first time costumer to get my acrylics off and get a gel manicure. I never had an acrylic removal so painful. An acrylic nail was being used to take my acrylics off! She filed my nails unevenly even after I asked for them to be the same length. The salon did not look clean for we still have protocols. There were ants and desks did not look cleaned off. After hearing that the nail tech hasn't received any of her vaccinations and was not using gloves it made me a little worried. One nail tech had a hair net on, one with her shoes and feet out, and another on the phone speaking loudly. They do not accept card so I had to Venmo which I didn't mind but once I paid the nail tech she rolled her eyes at me which made me uncomfortable and had me think twice whether I should leave a tip or not. I don't usually write reviews but this had to be said. read more

I liked the photos I saw on yelp but when I walked into the shop, I became skeptical. My first concern was the question of cleanliness. No clean towel was used, things seemed unorganized and disheveled. Nothing was dusted off or wiped down. Honestly, I was questioning if they were using clean instruments or reusing things as I looked around and watched the process. I called before to ask if she does chrome nails and she said yes. But it turned out she had the chrome but had no idea how to use it. She did a few test designs on a fake nail. and then she did one of my nails as a final example. It wasn't good. So I just opted for a plain polish color. They literally ONLY did my nails. It only cost me $25 which I assumed is why I didn't get any cuticle work, no lotion, no cuticle oil, hand washing, no other service and had to sit there quite a while as she stopped working on me to go work on someone else (which I was fine with since she asked me if it was ok). My other worry was that I have real nails so I was really nervous on how they were going to treat it. My goal is to have the least amount of damage done to them but Lee (& her husband?) used techniques that I haven't seen before and seemed a bit heavy in the filing which made me really uncertain if my nails will be ok after this. (I did tell them before we started that they were real but I also know not very many people specialize in the care of real nails.) They were both very sweet and kind but unfortunately I'm not so sure I will be back. I do wish them the best though! read more

I've been going here for about 2 years now. Lee, the manicurist who is stationed right next to the front door it the BEST of them all. THE GOOD- she takes her time and the nails last a VERY LONG TIME. I can go up to a month between fills... yes, my nail will be at the tip on my finger... but it will NOT FALL OFF !! THE BAD- she takes her time... and this means you will be there for well over an hour for a fill. They have a small (and ugly) selection of nail designs. When she notices that i have a fresh pedicure...and knows i didn't get it at her shop..i get lectured. THE UGLY- i was once getting my nails done there and Lee called a taco shop to order some food to go, when the taco guy answers she put the phone in my hand and had me place the order for her.... while she worked on my nails... yes.. true story. when i need fast service and a sic nail design i go to 54th & El Cajon...all other times... this is where you will find me ...getting my nails did !!! read more

Nail Tech - Get yo nail done! - Nail Salons Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

My go-to nail salon. The prices are good and it can get busy on the weekends so appointments are always good. This place is a high traffic nail salon - I like that they use plastic coverings for the foot tub. I can say if I am not happy with something, I speak up and they take care of it right away. No one should walk out of the salon if they are not happy with the way their nails look. You are the paying customer, speak up! I like Tammy and Nina, but any of the manicurists are fine. I always get gel so my polish lasts several weeks. A good choice in National City. read more

Very friendly and sincere service with great prices but not a place to get a quality mani-pedi. Very fast and efficient. The shop is small and dingy. I didn't feel it was COVID clean.

First I walked in and I was told I would be next for a fill. I waited quite a long time. Finally the man that works there took the polish off and drilled around the growth. (Pretty sure he's not licensed) I then waited (for a long time) for the woman by the door to finish with the first woman. She actually started doing my nails while I wasn't even sitting in her station. First the place is really dirty. They have stuff everywhere. There was so much stuff at each station, I couldn't even set my phone down on the counter. The woman had a large pile of dust from drilling. The dust had to have been from a really really busy day or a week. I was also very concerned of why they kept the fill powder in a Oil of Olay container stores in a small cooler by her station. Why?? Only thing I could think of was that it wasn't okay with state board. I looked around for where the staff's license were posted. (Only one had it posted on the wall). I asked for polish not gel. The polish was not nice, very uneven. The price is very cheap, $12 for a fill. I am certain the price isn't worth it. I really wish I would have paid a lot more for something that doesn't need to be repainted. read more

A good salon is hard to find. I scheduled an appointment two days prior and still waited 35 minutes for all services to be completed. They're cash only and I didn't see a sign for that- maybe I missed it. Their skills are good but customer service is bad. Once I found out they were cash only I headed to the car to see if I had enough cash. The man that works there followed me out to tell me there's a bank right next door (way obvious) and I told him I was going to my car. He asked me if I was going to see if I had cash and I said yes. The whole experience made me question if I should do my nails from now until forever. read more

I got a pedicure and had short toe nails when I came it they almost needed no trim and she kept filing it and it hurt my flesh and all I wanted was a side ingrown removal and I still have my ingrown but now I also have extremly short painful nails and they did massage my feet but also used a purple thing that I told them to go soft with and it scraped too much skin of it is pink my skin now read more

I've been coming here for more than 10 years now. I'll stray every now and then, and try a different spot with some friends, but I always compare the quality of work to Nail Tech and you'll find me in deep regret and guilt for straying away. Be warned, though. if you like getting your nails done and the aesthetics of the salon is important to you to get that type of spa experience, you won't find it here. HOWEVER, you will find skilled, honest, and friendly ladies & gentleman, along with thoroughly cleaned cuticles, a long lasting pedi/mani, and a small dent in your wallet. Something I like about Li, Helen,Lisa, and Linh is that yes, they are running a business, but they won't insist on a service if you don't need it just to make money. Of course they'll up sale a flower or a foot scrub, but I think that's just typical. Li told me that my natural nails are nice, I don't need to get acrylics, it's too damaging to my nails when I was still a nail salon newbie. I've experienced some shady experiences at other salons. Don't forget, cash only! read more

If I could put no stars I would, a little closet space, people walking in no appointments and they get serviced. You have an appointment and she doesn't see you until hours later or she does half the job and jump into another customer. She has a sign "By appointments only " but yet you can just walk in if you have all day to wait. This is the worst place I've been too. And she gets mad if you get bothered by the long waiting read more

This is my second or third review of Nail Tech. I have been going to this nail salon for about 8 years now. They are a CLASS ACT and the owner LEE is an exceptional nail tech. Today was no different in the service i received. They deserve a 5 star rating in every category ypu could think of. Customer service, attention-to-detail, thorough, awesome skill and friendliness are all things this salon has honed to perfection. Once, always and forever will be a proud patron of this place for years to come. Not only are they adept in whatever service they perform, they are also majorly cost efficient in today's ever increasing business product cost margin. A true gem of a salon read more
