Gel X

Still my go to nail girl, I wanted to add updated nail art we've been doing. As always, love my results.

Builder Gel
Daniella S.

THE BEST! This is my before (black hard gel) and after (builder gel w/ nude color). I had my hard gel for almost a month and Ady had to remove my entire set. The prep work was sooo clean and we ended up doing builder gel this time around and it came out so beautiful! We stuck with a neutral color and added chrome on top and they came out so pretty.

My nails after 2.5 months.

I've been getting pedis forever and acrylics for around 3 years. I've been to a few different salons around East County. I was getting fed up with the quality. I reached out on social media and found Ady highly recommended. I went on St. Patrick's day. It was an enlightening pedi with a little bit of therapy mixed in. She was so fun to talk to. I left loving her, period. I also left with the info that my previous lady had over e-filed my nails. They felt weird, they were brittle, and they would only get worse as they continued to grow out. I was so glad I went somewhere that cared enough to school me on the practices and issues. I had a lady who also cut two far in, from the cuticle. Here we are just 2.5 months later, and my toenails are finally growing out healthy! The following week, I went for a now mandatory removal, full set, and design. I was really excited! I was so looking forward to getting my nails done, and right! Well, the last salon I went to, Femme Fatale in El Cajon by Target had used MMA on my nails. Follow Napalm Nails Facebook and YouTube for more info. Underneath my nails were brittle, thin and painful. I hadn't had a new set put on since the beginning. I didn't know. I had only had one nail fixed here and there. By getting regular Manis and taking better care of my nails and letting them grow out, I was finally able to get a gel mani. Oh yeah, I went to Elite nails on University in La Mesa and one pulled up and the nail tech glued the nail to my skin. This was live tissue. 4 total nails ended up having damage and that is also finally getting better. Thankfully there are honest nail techs. Even if you're not local, follow her for info. She's amazing! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0LBuEoypdgqoy8V5fNr1zbjrnB8tkBD7H5TzcuBQ6DuguxJtiwC8mtpSXweq2YuW9l&id=100084851801676&mibextid=Nif5oz

GEL X MANICURE
Yahsar S.

I am in love with the work that my nail technician did! Instead of going to chop shops, I recommend finding a nail tech who cares about your nail growth and is a good person. I am so happy with my feet now. I couldn't wear sandals before because I was disgusted with how they looked, but she gave them life again. Thank you so much!

My galaxy nails by ady napalm nails

Ady is amazing!!!!! She is a true artist. I can't believe I went this long getting crappy nails. Honestly once you have your nails done the right way you'll never go back to the corner nail shop again. She is kind and easy to talk to. It's a good time all around. Best looking nails in town!!

Halloween nails!

Ady continues to be my go-to for nails and pedicures. Her private salon suite is so comfy and I always feel welcomed there!!

Gel x
Hannah M.

From long to short! Ady, is an extremely talented nail artist! She truly cares about the health of your nails and bust out designs like no other! My first picture is gel X and those babies lasted for ever, through all my water ports and activities on vacation they stayed on so solidly. I love sitting in her chair, she's such a warm and down to earth kinda gal. Fair prices all around 5 stars!

Look no further, you've found the best nail tech in San Diego! I recently had the pleasure of getting my nails done by Napalm Nails and cannot even begin to put into words how amazing she is! Not only does she pay attention to every little detail to make sure your nails are PERFECT, she truly makes the entire experience so enjoyable. I am truly amazed by her talent and skill and will never be able to go to another nail tech after being pampered like this. Thank you Napalm Nails for my BEAUTIFUL nails! I can't wait until my next appointment.

Rasta inspired nails
Jessica H.

Ady is the absolute best! If I could give her more than five stars, I would. She's super accommodating when it comes to appointments. I don't know anyone who offers 6 a.m. appointments! She does quality work for fair prices. I feel that she genuinely cares about her clients. She's not out to make a fast buck. That's so refreshing these days. I look forward to my apportionments with her. It doesn't get any better than pampering and therapy . I have found my nail technician for life!

My gel mani

The absolute best mani + pedi I have ever gotten! Ady is so kind, caring, and meticulous!! I'm a life long nail biter, but you'd never know it because of how wonderful this set turned out. Can't wait to go back in a couple of weeks! :,)

Ady is an amazing nail tech . She has great customer service and the design that she does are amazing . The other nail salons would constant hurt my nail :( but thanks to Ady my regular nails are healthier and she truly cares about the health of your nails .

2025 update.. I've been coming here for years, and honestly, they never miss. Prices are super…read morereasonable and there's no upselling, which I love. Lauren is my go-to, she's the BEST with my ingrown and always takes her time. Michelle is so sweet and friendly, and all the ladies here are just really kind. The vibe is always relaxed and welcoming. I always leave feeling good and my toes always look nice and pretty. This place is definitely one of my favorites.

Visiting family and I really needed a spot to get an acrylic full set and a pedicure. This place…read morehad decent reviews and the ladies were so kind and welcoming, but the services slacked. It hasn't even been a week (only been 4 days) and already 3 of my acrylics fell off. Although I have short nail beds, I've been getting acrylics on and off for the past 14 years and I've never had them fall off this fast. After I got home... I even had to file and re-shape them because of how uneven each nail was. The acrylics have no base curve and they're all flat and thin. They also weren't fully filled to the cuticle of the nail. So overall I don't think acrylics are really their specialty. My pedicure.. I got the higher end pedicure option with the callus remover and I left with my feet still rough on the bottoms. The polish was nicely done but I wish I just got the basic pedicure. Sadly won't be going back, even to get my nails fixed. 2 stars because of how nice the ladies were and the polish was.

Found out about this place two weeks ago while walking around the mall with my family. It's a…read morelittle hidden and located on the side of the mall that isn't crowded, a plus! Had no thoughts about getting my nails done today but since I had time, I figured why not. Walked in and they took me in for a gel pedi right away. Although booking an appointment would be best, I got lucky! My nail tech was so sweet and kind. Real gentle with her hands. Very satisfied with my pedicure. Aesthetically, the salon is beautiful and clean. Ambiance was very calming and helped me de-stress right away. Will be back when I have more time in the future. Definitely recommend!

Full disclosure: I am posting this 3wks after my visit, but began typing parts of the following…read morewhile still at the salon being worked on. I am adding onto it before posting. I did mention that I was dissatisfied before I paid and was offered a smol credit towards my next visit. I feel terrible writing such an awful review of the place because they are very highly rated (which is why I paid a visit) but I have to speak my truth. And the aim of this is to bring an awareness. I've been going back and forth about leaving a review this whole time. I'm disappointed. I expected more. I'd like to return because I AM impressed by their lineup of services offered/the cleanliness and everyone is friendly. With that being said, why wouldn't they have an exclusive lineup of highly & dynamically trained/skilled nail technicians performing services that will uphold the caliber of business The Beauty Plug aims for, on hand, for walk-ins and appointments alike... especially on weekends. thank u, love u. I received a Gel X Full Set w gel polish + "a design" - which was airbrush ombré with an outlined tip & a Gel Pedicure. - Gel X application glue was left with a lot of space where my natural nail was exposed under the gel x nail. If you know gel x you know what I mean. - Blotchy clear coat; not one nail has a smooth clear application. - Crooked nail application on my thumb. - No blending of the nail extension edges to my natural nail. - No consistency in size and placement of the extension. (Some are further over with my real nail exposed.) - After one week most started lifting from my nail bed. - Another tech had to pull away from her client to do a part of the service mine wasn't educated on. *COMING BACK TO MY DRAFT TO SAY THAT A FRIEND TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PRESS ONS* I wish I took pictures. But I had to get them thangs off. Those pedicure stations are very aesthetic but not made for luxurious comfort. I asked for her to trim my toe nails during my pedicure and she butchered them so short when she got to filing it started to be painful. Ending to say that I don't think this place is worth avoiding altogether, but I wasn't impressed enough to make it somewhere I frequent for nails because of my experience. Other services of theirs caught my eye too!
