    I decided to give this nail salon a second chance, and unfortunately, it was just as disappointing as the first experience. First, their online booking system is terrible. I tried multiple times to book online and kept running into issues, so I ended up doing a walk-in instead. During my first visit, the nail tech who worked on my nails didn't seem confident in what she was doing, and I left unhappy with the results. I wish I remembered her name. Today, I came back hoping for a better experience and was helped by Michelle. I originally planned to just get a fill, but since I disliked my previous set, I showed her an inspiration photo of what I wanted. Right away, she seemed hesitant and repeatedly tried to persuade me not to do the design I asked for. I get my nails done to feel good and confident, not to be talked out of what I want. She eventually agreed to do it, but the experience only got worse from there. The setup at the station was uncomfortable -- there was only a small arm peg and nowhere to properly rest my hands. While removing my old acrylic, she burned me multiple times with the drill. I mentioned it to her, but she continued anyway. Then during the painting process, because my hands were getting tired from the awkward positioning, she raised her voice at me saying, "You have to keep your fingers up. I keep having to fix it because you keep putting your fingers down." There was no proper hand support, so of course my hands were getting tired. At that point, I was anxious and just wanted to leave, but I stayed and let her finish. When she was done, there was no final cleanup or touch-ups -- she just applied oil and told me to wash my hands. Once I got home and looked at my nails closely, I was extremely disappointed. The final result was not presentable and definitely not worth the $70 plus tip that I paid. This felt like a $50 job at best. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed and will not be returning.

    Awesome nail salon I checked out today. A few days ago, I had booked my pedicure appointment and although I came 30 minutes earlier they were able to accommodate me right away. Jane did she did great! I also asked for last minute for add ons with eyebrow and upper lip wax. She was sweet and helpful! The space is nice and modern with spacious and cute busy atmosphere. Only bummer is they did not offer me a refreshment, but I noticed many other customers had drinks.

    My friend recommended Nailoscope to me. This is now my top nail salon I have been to in SD! They are on a corner, it is nice & big inside, they offer beverages, they have items for sale. I like that they all wear a black Nailoscope apron. I like the added sparkle items in the business and all of the large windows in the room. The chairs are so comfy & have pillows. They have nail services for children also. My daughter loved Elena! My kiddo loves her little painted on Snowmen! I love my GelX nails! We will definitely be back!

    Love it here! Callie is so great. She pays such close attention to detail. I've gone here several times with this being the third. I never chose a specific nail tech before because I felt like they're all really great, BUT after today Callie is definitely my go to. She takes her time, she makes sure she goes above & beyond and she's genuinely very friendly. I definitely recommend asking for her! I've gone to MANY nail salons before this one and nothing compares to Nailoscope. The interior is gorgeous, they keep it clean, they offer you complimentary beverages. This is the exact type of nail salon that I wish I knew before trying every other place I've gone to.

    Coming from a nail technician, I was honestly very hesitant to go to a salon since I usually do my own pedicures. But this ended up being one of the best pedicure experiences I've had so far. Tina did my Spa Pedicure, Gel Removal & Gel Reapplication today and she was amazing. She was efficient while still taking her time, especially when it came to cleaning my cuticles and polishing--she would go over them again if needed, which I really appreciated. Her attention to detail stood out, and the whole experience felt very relaxing. As someone in the industry, I know how important time and efficiency are, and she definitely delivered without making the service feel rushed. Everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. Cleanliness was one of my biggest concerns, and they exceeded my expectations. I noticed technicians going to the back to thoroughly scrub and disinfect their tools. The nippers, buffer, and file were clearly single-use and looked completely new. The staff was friendly, and although Tina and I didn't talk much (which I actually preferred so I could fully relax), she did an incredible job. I would definitely come back. Thank you Tina!

    This place was so great! Got me in super fast and i had the best girl. Callie took her time and gave me exactly what i wanted. She's truly great, and this place is a gem.

    The build up to my square gel-x nails

    First appointment with Amy and I'm beyond impressed. She did a short square Gel-X set with milky white tips and the results were flawless. She was patient, detail-oriented, and clearly takes pride in her work. She didn't let me leave until everything was perfect. Exceptional technique and great hospitality, highly recommend.

    Callie at Nailoscope did it again! She made the vision come to life! Thank you I love them so much

    Simple heart design

    Go see my girl TELLIE- she is the artist I've been looking for! Elena who was doing such a great job on my nails is taking a leave so I tried TELLIE out with NO REGRETS. I miss Elena and wish her the best but when I say perfectionist I mean TELLIE is a perfectionist. Although I only got simple art, it was the prep that was nailed. My nails have never felt stronger and never looked so perfectly cleaned up and shaped. Don't sleep on TELLIE. She brings the vibes and the experience.

    I had the best gel mani and experience with My ever! She was detailed and so kind. I got exactly what I wanted. I will be back to see My for all my gel manis now!

    I found Nailoscope and and Callie on yelp after doing a lot of research. I brought a hot mess to Callie and she shaped and fixed what I already had and did a super cute set based on my search for cute spring nails. Callie did an amazing job shaping my nails, cleaning my nails beds, and putting attention to detail I creating a trendy polka dot design. I highly recommend Callie and Nailoscope for your next nail salon!

    See all

    Angie and Jenny were great! I've also had Lucy in the past (I think that was her name) and she was good. I'll ask for Angie in the future!
