There's nothing I love more than walking into a business and the first thing a customer that is walking out, says to me "they are so rude. You shouldn't come here it's the worst nail salon ever". I only came in to get some of my acrylic nails removed urgently and the manager walks by grabs my hand and looks at my nail and says "that's it" . Rude, rude rude customer service behavior. This place has gone downhill since 2016. I don't even know how they're still in business with their terrible service. This isn't my usual nail salon, but I really needed these nails to be removed. I wouldn't recommend this place even for a quick pitstop like I just had. read more

Nightmarishly sour & angry manicurist (Jessica "Thy"). I had given this business a 2nd chance because I was in a hurry. Big mistake. Stay away! Pissed off and aggressive treatment. Cold, pushy, no eye contact. I work hard too. I get it, it's not an easy job, but don't take it out on me. I even asked Jessica why she was so angry and she didn't answer. She understood me but didn't answer & just did her manhandling-style manicure. WTF. I'm no Karen, Jessica. I'm one of the nice white b's in the neighborhood. Maybe that's why you're hating life? Too many entitled women pushing you around? Wow. Left more stressed than ever. read more

My mom and I came early Friday afternoon and got a pedicure and manicure. We were seated right away and the whole process was extremely pleasant! Ken did a great job on the gel acrylic and Thu did amazing as well on the gel pedicure. When trying to come up with which package I wanted, she helped me decide on simpler package with an add on-helping me get exactly what I wanted and save money! They also gave my mom very specialized care. We will definitely be returning! read more

The last time I came here it was great, just a super long wait for an appointment. I decided to come back for a gel manicure with my little sister. Ironically, we both liked the same pale pink color. We were seated immediately which was surprising considering we were walk-ins. My tech got started right away since I was getting gel, it'd take a little longer than my sisters. The pedicure was great! I got the sea salt and callus remover. The color came out super pretty too! I think all in all we were done with our pedicures in less than an hour! It was great to come back and give this place a shot again. read more

HORRIBLE! Just had regular mani/pedi this morning and polish is peeling/ chipped... old... and catching on sweaters, towels, my hair...anything you might rip your item on ruin your item with or rip a nail... which then would need to be cut!!!

I love this salon because they are friendly and do an amazing job. All their technicians do a lovely job (my favorite is Sally). I've never had any issues with my nails and am a regular customer.

I am horrible at making apps during the week, for the wknd. I was too busy yesterday and my typical nail salon is closed Sundays, like most. I called this place and they were able to get me in on a same day appt. They were busy, but had a lot of techs working! I came in with my pinterest inspo design idea and since I'm not a nail tech, what might look easy isn't always easy. The gal I got did a good job though! I thought it may of been too hard but she said it was fun. The pedicure was good as well. This is close to my house, so I'll be back! read more

This was the most rushed mani pedi I've ever had. In and out in less than 20 minutes. It was 19 for mani which included no massage whatsoever. She (Nancy) even had to redo nails because she was rushing so fast. No waiting even a moment between coats. Pedicure was 29 and barely longer. She actually took out a five minute timer to show how long her lackluster massage was. Neither technician could have been more bored. Then they rushed me out of the seat into a chair near the door. Seriously. Don't waste your money here. read more

I am very picky about nail salons for a variety of reasons including cleanliness, attention to detail, and whether the skin around my nails hurts afterwards. I have been coming to Nails 2000 for almost a year now and have been so happy . Sally is amazing and she consistently does an incredible job with my tap gel manicure. It is apparent she takes pride in both her work and ensuring customers come away feeling good. We decided to do something fun today and add a shiny metallic look to my nails and I'm blown away! I love it and I love this place read more

Think $45 is high for dipping manicure. I also wondered if it's sanitary to dip the nail directly into the color jar? The place is clean and no one tried to upsell me, which I like. 'Sally' did my manicure. It was a bit rough with taking the nail file up and down on the sides of my nail. I just don't know if I'd go back. read more

For the last 2 years, I'm going to this nail salon regularly and I always have a great experience. I make my appointments with Sally, and she is one of the best nail technicians.... highly recommend her. She is on schedule, well-organized, fast, detail-oriented, and does a fantastic job. Usually I ask for classic colors and designs, but last time there I picked a fun and vibrant color with a shiny chrome topcoat. read more

This place is awful. They don't honor appointments, will not schedule manicures and pedicures at the same time, and you're lucky if you get someone who does a decent job. My last manicure was horrible and I was cut multiple times. I had them redone the next day and they charged me full price after agreeing to discount -- and the woman who did my nails was rude to me the entire time. I still tipped 30% but I will never go back there. read more

Nails 2000+ is my go to nail place! I spent years looking for a good nail salon, until I found this one. The pricing is reasonable, the music is nice, and what they play on the TV keeps me entertained while I'm getting my nails done. Sally is my go to nail artist. She has amazing attention to detail and I can tell she really cares about making my nails turn out good. She is also super good at doing intricate and stunning designs. The other artists are also great. read more

Worst manicure and pedicure I've ever had. One lady did my manicure and pedicure in 40 minutes with gel removal on hands and callus removal on my feet. I still have dead cuticle on my nails, they didn't fully remove the gel off my nails and it's hard to tell in the picture since I just wanted a clear coat, but the polish doesn't even cover entire nail. Dirt is still under my nails. I never complain, but this is so bad. They offered to fix it, but I had another appointment to go to so they gave me $2 off. I will not go back. read more

Such a great experience!! We went in for a full set with design, and a gel manicure. Tiffany did the full set and Hanna did the gel manicure. They were both done extremely well, both of them were very caring and took their time in making sure our nails looked great. The front desk lady was super nice, and so was everyone else! Towards the end we got to chitchatting and we let them know it was one of our bdays. They were nice enough to play us the Happy Bday song and even gave us a certificate for our next visit as a gift! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, but definitely make an appointment in advance. Also, cash is preferred. The salon was clean, and was running very smoothly despite it being a busy afternoon. read more

Was visiting this past weekend from Palm Springs and wanted to pamper myself. I looked at quite a few locations within 5-10minutes from where I was staying. Decided to give this location a try. I booked online however, I noticed I didn't receive a confirmation. So, I decided to text to confirm. The receptionist was very helpful who responded via text. Explained there was an issue and I'm glad I decided to text about the confirmation. To help the business avoid any future confusion for any future online bookings. I called for a full set using ibd and a spa pedicure with gel. Renee did a wonderful job on my pedicure. Very relaxing and she made sure everything was going well and if I was comfortable. Tiffany did my wonderful full set. She did a great job executing what I brought in for reference. Both employees were friendly. Great experience, was busy for a Saturday afternoon, yet didn't feel busy or rushed. When visiting, I will definitely come back! read more

The place has a very strong odor. Half way through the appointment I was nauseous from the smell. The tables are stained. The manicurist was way too aggressive when filing the sides of my nails and hurt me a couple of times. The price was also different than what they posted on the website. When I pointed that out, I was told they hadn't updated their prices yet. read more

I had a pedicure and manicure. I told them I wanted someone gentle, and I was promised that. The man who did my nails managed to gouge me in the first 5 minutes and proceeded to do a manicure that only lasted 2 days( a personal record.) The pedicure lady gouged me with her clippers while trimming my nails. I asked the manicurist if the pedicurist knew what she was doing as it became more and more evident she didn't. I have been to this salon before as it is close to my house -- I have mixed reviews, some good, some ok or this one-HORRIBLE! read more

This was my second time attempting to give this place a try. I came here maybe over a year ago and the girl doing my manicure had her headphones in the entire time, didn't do my cuticles and my nails chipped within a week even though it was gel. I tried to give it another chance the other day. I called and asked if they had any availability for a mani pedi within the next 15 minutes( I live down the street) and they said, "Yes come in we will take you right away." I came in and there were probably 5 people waiting. I told them that I had just called and told them my name and they said,"Oh yeah you're going to have to wait, how much time do you have?" I told them never mind. I understand that they can get busy and people walk in and they have other appointments but don't tell me to come in if you can't take me. Waste of time and they did not seem to be remorseful in any way. read more

6/21 - In the summers, I would get pedicures often, just ask my old nail place in Temecula. I was in there every few weeks. Now that I'm down in Carlsbad, I am still looking for a nail place I can rely on. I live down the street from this place, but it looks like I won't be coming back. I took my daughters here to get manicures and pedicures before my cousin's wedding. It happened to be my oldest's birthday that day and I've brought her here before and a kid's manicure/pedicure was typically $20, so when my little one wanted to have her first manicure/pedicure for having her birthday a few weeks prior, I decided to bring her along. I arrived and they took me almost immediately. My nail lady was Rosie, she was really good, took time on my massages, did a great job on the flower design on my toes, and kept telling the business owner that my daughters are next in line. The business owner, however, didn't listen and while my daughters sat there waiting, she took other people who came in after us. At first, I thought that maybe they had reservations, so I didn't say anything. Then, 2 seats even opened up next to me and still nothing, yet, they seated a young girl and her mother there instead of my daughters. Finally, I said something, and another lady started my oldest on her manicure at the table, and another lady took my youngest for a pedicure. It was her first experience and I wanted her near me, yet, we're all separated, all in different seats and stations. The other two nail ladies rushed through the pedicures and massages, added flowers without checking with me, the paying consumers. Of COURSE my daughters will say yes if you ask them if they want a flower on their hands and feet! They don't know better! The total was a lot more than I expected and when I came back in with my card to get stamped, instead of stamping me 3 times, for myself and my two kids, she stamped it once. I don't care how old my kids are, they are with me and they are consumers as well. They are paying customers as well! To overlook them, separate them from me and to rush through their manicures and pedicures, is completely unprofessional! I will not be returning here again. I feel bad, because I really liked Rosie and wanted to request her in the future. Too bad she works at this establishment. It's not her that I'm avoiding, it's this place as a whole. Oh and my girls' nail polish chipped the next day! What a waste of money! read more

What a horribly uncomfortable and unsettling experience. I needed to have my acrylics removed and a new set applied. When I sat down with nail tech Sally she was hurried, rude, and uncommunicative. She used the sharp edge of an new tip as her tool to try and wedge under my acrylics to pop them off. It was painful. NOT OKAY. I tried to give her clear nonverbal cues that she was hurting me (wincing, pulling my hand back, etc). When those were ignored I told her plainly that it hurt. She was unapologetic - grabbed a nail clipper instead and tried to hastily chip the acrylic which resulted in her cutting my natural nail, into the nail bed. I took my hand away and she got visibly annoyed. Rolled her eyes then finally brought out acetone to soak the rest of my nails. However, each nail was soaked less than 1 minute (ineffective) then she proceeded to use the new tip again to pop them off. I decided at this point just to bite my tongue and deal with it. I started questioning myself -thinking "is this the standard removal process at salons these days? am I being overly dramatic?" The rest of my appointment I sat there in discomfort. Walked away with a new set that looks sloppy, uneven, and not worthy of the $50 + $8 tip that I paid. Once I got home (with nails throbbing), I was so bothered that I did some research on standard acrylic removal process and confirmed that my experience is 1) not normal and 2) unacceptable. Do not allow a tech to do this to you. Insist that they soak for 10-15 mins first to break down the acrylic for a pain-free removal that will preserve the health of your natural nail. Apparently salons are doing this more and more to save time and churn more customers. You are a number to them. It's disappointing. That said, I know there are many responsible salons out there that DO care and that I will happily support. Nails 2000 is not one of them. read more

Just tried Nails 2000 Plus for the first time today and left disappointed with throbbing nails from over-processing. I scheduled my appointment for a simple gel manicure with a friend. I showed the technician a photo of what I'd like (an ombré French manicure), but the technician didn't explain ombré wasn't available in gel and applied acrylic to my natural nails. The thick acrylic atop my natural nails without any added length was not an attractive look! My nails looked bulky and unnatural so I spoke up and asked them to remove the acrylic. Instead of offering to redo my nails, the technician raised her voice and complained that removing the nails would take too long. After growing my nails out for four weeks, I left the salon with nothing but thin and brittle nails. Not the experience I was hoping for on my first visit, especially after bringing a friend from out of town! read more

Today I arrived for my appointment and was told the technician I'd requested had just taken a walk in . When I said I had an appointment and wondered why that happened they had no good explanation. I was told to come back in 40 minutes- then I for sure the technician would be available. When I came back, I was told she had just taken another walk-in. I said I had an appointment- and was then told they honor walk ins before appointments. It didn't make sense. The technicians there are generally mediocre and try to up sell services. That's why I only went to the one I'd requested. I'm not going back there. read more

I've been here about 4 times now and each time have gotten my nails done by Ken. He never fails to do an amazing job, and I always walk out so impressed. I don't have any photos of my own nails but I do have some photos of what I've asked for (attatched) and each time he gives me EXACTLY what I show him. 100/10 recommend. With regards to pricing, a full set (with a design) comes out to about $70 (before tip) and a fill (no design) comes out to $40 (also before tip). read more

Came into the salon on a Saturday. They enforced full social distancing rules and every precaution necessary including: having all staff and customers wear masks, giving out hand sanitizer, social distancing, checking temperatures, and having us sign a contact tracing waiver.

3 stars because the nails usually look pretty good! But the customer service is so sad. I called to book an appointment since it's 50/50 that I actually get a follow up on whether or not my appointment I reserved online was actually acknowledged. But anyway the woman who took my call had a terrible attitude, and it's not the first time. I've seen her walk around the salon, grumpy the whole time. Like dang, I'm calling to spend my money .. why can't the experience be enjoyable? Few and far between these days. Won't be back. read more

I called and ask if they were willing to take me even though they closed in 45 minutes. Cool but unfortunately from the moment I got there I got super nasty looks for coming in a little late. So okay then I asked them for just a manicure set which turned out to be the most rushed treatment I've ever experienced. My lady was calm and respectful but you could just tell she was trying to get out of there. My manicure literally only last 5 days for the price of $65 plus tip. Maybe it was a bad day but next time go in a little before they close or else it will be rushed and not really a welcoming experience. read more

Nails 2000 offers manicure, pedicure and gel nail services at a great price. My girlfriend and I had a pamper date with an appointment at Nails 2000. We were seated together right at the time of our appointment on a busy Saturday afternoon. Her pedicure began before mine and I could tell that they were trying to get someone to work on me for about 10 minutes. As I waited and noticed what a great job the ladies and gentleman were doing. My technician was working on a set of gel nails and I could tell that she was disinterested in performing a pedicure. She had good skill cleaning and polishing my toes, but when it came to the massage she was horrible. She was not paying attention or even looking at me and was constantly gazing at something across the room. Her body was twisted in a way that her feet were facing me but her entire upper body faced the door while. She has two hands but only used one of them at a time while giving me the worst foot massage ever. At one time her hands stopped moving altogether and she was turned the other way so I asked her if everything was okay, but I do not think she understood. Her name was Annie, avoid Annie. Nails 2000 still gets 4 stars due to what I observed. It is clean, well stocked with good polish colors and every other employee was doing a great job. read more
