Omg. 5 stars and then some. I was referred to her by a friend; and let me just say I'll be referring her alllllll over the place. I LOVE MY NAILS!! Nikki is awesome, talented AF, so sweet and just a great person all around. She does a beautiful Job- I've had a fill and a full new set and they are always amazing. My husband literally said today that my nails were a masterpiece. Art. A creation. And that's a GUY! Go see her. If you want beautiful nails at a reasonable (very) price. GO SEE HER. See 2 different sets below!!!!

New to area and looking for a new place for nails. I love how they turned out! Will be back for sure. If looking for a private nail tech, Nikki is your girl. Has her own little suite in a Sola Solan. She only offers manicures and prefers to do acrylics (which is totally fine in my book). She books up quick so follow her on Instagram to fine open spots or give her a call.

I want to start off by saying Yelp hid my review; so that's why I'm reposting this! It needs to be seen :) ---------- I would like to start off by saying that I have been getting my nails done for the better half of a decade, and this is BY FAR the best experience I have ever had. Not only is Nikki an AMAZING nail artist, she is one of the kindest people I've ever met. I love how personal it feels when I get my nails done with her, and the atmosphere is amazing :) Nails - This girl is amazing at what she does. Every single time I come to her, she takes my ideas + brings them to life and then some! My nails always come out the absolute cutest + she can always do whatever I bring! Speed - When I tell you she can do a full set with design in just about an hour, I mean it! She doesn't rush, and she perfects every cm of my set! I can always expect her to get me in and out in the perfect amount of time + we get to chat and catch up, I love it! Nikki - Nikki is one of the sweetest people I've ever met + I can't stress enough how much I recommend her to friends + even strangers! I was eating at a restaurant this past weekend and when the server complemented my nails, I was so excited to share her IG with them! Next time you're thinking to get your nails done, definitely come here!

These Cherry nails - love! She went above and beyond!

I have been going to Nikki for several years and love that she is always willing to take on the challenge of my crazy design ideas! She is so versatile and can recreate any nail inspirations I bring to her. I get stopped daily and asked who does my nails so if getting amazing designs is what you are wanting look no further! Her shop is clean and offers a huge array of colors. I trust Nikki and her skills to get the job done right, so much so that I started bringing my teenage daughter to start getting her nails done as well. I was a little worried when my daughter wanted designs, as her nails are so much smaller than mine but Nikki pulls it off each time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She is patient with my daughter and always makes sure she is comfortable with what she is doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always book a few weeks in advance for my follow up appointments and have never had an issue getting on the books.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have also broken several nails in the past (all my fault with being to rough on them) and Nikki without hesitation has gotten me in within a day or so to get it repaired.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nikki is the best and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I'm very disappointed with my set I was so close of telling her just to remove them. As soon as I walked into her salon I knew it was just going to be bad, she was on the phone while I was at her table, her room was dirty, her "soiled" tool box was out on the table as I watched her grab tools from there. She literally RUSHED my nails like she didn't have time for me and this is what I got. She did not clean my natural nails everywhere else I've been they always soak my nails clean the cuticles and file my natural nail. This lady just removed my polished and glued on the acrylic nails. Once the fake nails were on she didn't bother cleaning under my nails or taking her time with the shape or color. I'm so very disappointed.

Nikki is absolutely amazing, I will never go anywhere else. She always pays tremendous attention to my wants and takes her time to perfect my nails.

blue/green is my second set gold is the first set i got

I usually just stop into the random nail salon & I've been wanting more fun/creative nail looks & I just didn't like going to the nail salon. I actually found nikki from one of my friends on instagram! Her nail studio is in a locked building, which is nice if you don't like the people in a nail salon or the noise. This is my second set from her & I got a full. My first set last me a whole month! No lifting and no random hairs getting stuck while you're washing your hair! Her passion for her work is evident & Im excited to continue to see her!

Breanna M.

I found Nikki on Instagram after a follower had mentioned her in her story. After being to countless salons throughout San Diego County, trying to find a nail tech to keep coming back to - with no luck - I was so relieved to find her! I showed her a picture off Pinterest and we worked together to find the best color scheme to pull off what I was looking for. Her studio is relaxing, quiet and accommodating for her clients. I was in and out in great time without her rushing or cutting corners on my nails. I highly recommend Nikki to anyone as I'm confident she will take great care of you.

Angel H.

Very happy that I found Nikki on Yelp! Her work is impeccable and right from the beginning she understood what I wanted. Will definitely be a returning client!

Nikki does such amazing work! I used to go from salon to salon still hating how my nails turned out, but since i found Nikki i haven't gone anywhere else ! She takes her time and really cares about her clients ideas. She checks in multiple times through the appointment to make sure we're satisfied! I get compliments 24/7 on my nails because they are THAT amazing

Karen F.

Nikki is hands down the best nail artist! Always gets the shape exactly how I want, 1000% recommend!

I had a wedding to go to last weekend and really needed to get my nails done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With short notice, Nikki was able to squeezed me into her busy schedules.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am absolutely thrilled with my recent nail service and very impressed on how it came out! Nikki has talented skills, attentive, and made sure I was completely satisfied with my nails. Her place was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxing atmosphere. My nails look and feel amazing - the shape, polish, and finish are all perfect. I've received so many compliments already! Thank you so much Nikki for this amazing full set!!! Not only did my nails look amazing, my hands look 10 years younger. Love it!!! The service was also very reasonably priced, especially considering the high quality of work. I highly recommend this nail service to anyone looking for great results and a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Nikki does a great job every single time! Any design I choose she's able to bring to life. Another thing I've notice is she's super detail oriented. I haven't been to another nail tech who will match your skin tone when doing french. She takes into consideration the color of your french tip as well and will choose the best base color for you so that it looks super cohesive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another thing that I love about Nikki is if I ask for advice when it comes to designs, she will be honest.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Often times I feel that people just want to tell you what you want to hear regardless of if they think it would look good or not. I love Nikki and am so happy to have found my nail tech!! read more

Nikki is the best! She is quick and always does what I ask for, and charges very reasonable prices too. I used to get dip but now I do acrylics over my natural nail. She's always willing to do nail art. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also have the best conversations, and she always has something good playing on TV![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So happy with her service, I'll probably never return to a regular nail salon after going to an individual nail artist like this! read more

Nikki is very responsive to messages about booking appointments! She is so creative and has almost every design you can imagine. I always consult her via Instagram about nail designs to see if she can do them before I get to my appointment. She always makes my dreams come true when it comes to designs. I work from home and I love being able to take my lunch break to come get a quick acrylic fill with Nikki. Her pricing is great and her quality is even better! read more

She moved to my area a couple months ago and posted her work on Facebook. I decided to give her a try, best decision I ever made!! she's extremely talented and the SWEETEST person. She's tries her best to accommodate to you for appointments and requests. Communication is key and she really puts in the work and listens to what you want. My first set of nails by her lasted me more than a MONTH. After a fill from that set, the next set lasted me another month before I finally decided to let my nails breathe a couple days and took them off. The brown cow print is my most recently set and I am absolutely in loooooove with them. She wasn't even finished yet and I was already filled with excitement when I saw her do the cow print. I'm so glad I found her because I'm never going back to a regular salon as long as she's here. read more

I found Nikki on marketplace on Facebook. Her skill set is so top of the line I am very impressed. The lines are clean, and the set compliments my hand so well. I feel it elongates and makes my fingers look more slender. She's bright and bubbly, easy to talk with and her salon suite makes the experience so much more relaxing during the appointment. Nikki is very talented with her detailed designs as well, bring in a photo she can replicate it! Quick response time and flexible availability. Highly recommend!! Very pleased. -KP read more

I paid $90 for my nails and it didn't even look like the picture I showed her. Nikki rushed through my appointment and was very harsh with handling my hands. She did little to no nail prep around cuticle area. I asked for a matte design and although she warned the nails could stain with the matte nail polish I thought I could get away with it since I don't use any type of chemicals on a regular basis. My nails did end up staining after TWO DAYS. Why wouldn't she bother to get a better product? I asked her to fix them or give me a refund and she said she "didn't have time" and that she would not refund me. The whole experience was very unpleasant and I highly recommend you DO NOT GO TO HER. You can get way better treatment at a nail salon without the boutique pricing. read more

I was searching for the perfect nail tech & thankfully I bumped into Nikki's Corner. She responded quickly when I messaged her to set up an appointment. She takes her time and makes sure I'm satisfied with my nails afterwards. I accidentally bumped my nail & she gladly fixed it up! If you're looking for a talented tech who values her clients, it's her! You won't regret it. read more

Nikki is truly a talented nail artist. I show her a picture of what I want & she can deliver with no problem. She takes her time and ensures that your nails are exactly what you want by asking if you like the shape, color, etc. I have never left her salon disappointed. This is the only nail salon I will go to from here on out. Highly recommend. read more

I had recently just found her on IG and I decided to give her a shot I messaged her asking for her availability, after I had confirmed my appt time I asked her if she needed some sort of deposit since she didn't ask for a deposit before booking. Keep in mind I'm a new client coming to her, she replied with " yes, you haven't done that? " No where on her IG does she have her payment methods so how was I supposed to know where to send the deposit. I came to my appt as scheduled she was 30 mins behind but I didn't mind, when I first walked in I fell in love with her set up, few mins in the appt I felt very awkward, I didn't feel welcomed and I understand she doesn't need to make a conversation but that gives a bad reputation for her. I tried to make a convo but she would keep it short, another thing is that she had her " soiled " box near the table and she was using the soiled tools on me. After she was done with my set I really loved my nails, I didn't see anything wrong. When I got to the car I had noticed that there was small dust particles on my nails and it wouldn't come off, and 2 of my nails were crooked and badly shaped, I didn't notice when I was getting them done until I got in the car. I didn't message her because I know she's booked. 4 weeks later I messaged her if she can do a soak off, on the day of my appt I had told her that I would come in for a soak off in a few weeks and she agreed. When I messaged her to get a soak off she asked me if it was only a soak off I said yes, she then replied with " I don't just soak them off, any regular nail salon will do that ". She should've told me before agreeing the first time, and I had told her that I was not getting a new set the first time when I had asked in her salon. I messaged her a few weeks after to book an appt and give her a second try, she was maybe having a rough day I thought. But when I asked if she had any opening for a specific day she left me on seen. Which I don't mind but she could've simply replied with yes or a no. After this I will never be going back, bad service overall. read more

Super happy I found this salon. I had been going to the same nail tech for many many years and had…read moreasked her about doing gel x nails and she kept saying no not at this time and that kept happening. I wanted to get away from acrylic as I had been doing them for over 30 years. So I recently had to go in for surgery and knew recovery was going to be over a month so I took off my nails and that would be the perfect time to move on... So fast forward to today (6 weeks post surgery) finally ready to get a new set so I went to Yelp to find a new place that had high star reviews within 25 min of my house and found this place. So called and made a same day appointment and was set with Ivan. I'm so happy Ivan took the time to listen to what I wanted and knowing this was my first gel x set he talked about the process and we were ready to go. Then he checked in several times to make sure I was happy with the length and shape which I totally am. So needless to say Ivan's my new nail tech!!! So glad. Also brought my daughter who got a gel manicure from Amy and she was super happy with her service as well!! You won't be disappointed.

I love this nail salon! I live very close to another similar type of nail place, but I will…read morecontinue to go here instead because of their superior customer service and skills. They do a meticulous job no matter which technician ends up doing my nails. I usually just get a regular spa pedi/mani (they also do gel and special powders, plus acrylics) and I am always happy with the results for the price. The place is clean and they take walk-ins, but I have had to come back another day with an appointment since they were booked one time when I walked in. I have always been greeted right away with a friendly attitude, and they give you a small bottle of water when you sit down for your service. I came in without an appointment a week after getting a pedicure there, because I stepped on something at home which caused my toenail polish to chip, and they welcomed me into a chair right away and touched up that toe and a few others that needed it free of charge. I will always come back to Forever Nails!

So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon!…read moreThese services are expensive!! I had a bad experience last week at Vdara. I asked for short dip powder nails and she tried to give me a gel X fill instead without telling me. However, I have been getting my nails done often for years, so I noticed what she was doing and I reminded her I wanted to switch to dip powder this time. She said no, we'll do gel X fill it will be better. (She means faster and easier for her instead of doing a new set.) I said no, I want dip powder. Finally I convinced her to do what I wanted. As we proceeded to do my nails, I kept asking her to file them shorter and kept noticing that they were crooked. She would try to move onto the next step and I would ask her if she was done filing noticing that they were all crooked and uneven lengths and shapes, so I would tell her, she would try to fix them, but she just could not. They kept coming out crooked and different lengths. Meanwhile, during the whole service, the phone keeps ringing and she keeps going to the front to pick it up, her cell phone keeps ringing and she keeps picking it up, people keep leaving to check out, and she kept leaving in the middle of my service to go check them out. This happened around ten times. Made my service nearly 2 and a half hours for these nails. I go to pay, and when it comes time to tip, she reaches her neck over-the-counter to make sure that I press something so I felt pressured to leave her a tip that I did not want to give because it did not seem like she cared about my service at all. (I'm a server. I ALWAYS TIP. And this time I did not want to. That says a lot). I get in the car to take a final look at my nails and see that they're all crooked and choppy/flaky and that there's a black mark on my WHITE nail on my pinky. I honestly just started tearing up, I know it seems silly but $80 for these simple little nails and a terrible experience right after work, almost taking three hours? I wish I never came here and just waited a day to go to my usual salon! Nevertheless, I went home and filed them all myself, which removes the sealing of topcoat, so now I will have to go spend more money on new nails sooner than usual because these will not last long. Waste of money unfortunately...

I absolutely LOVE Nikki! She's very dedicated to her work and makes you feel very comfortable and satisfied with the results! She encourages designs and loves to be challenged, which you don't find at a lot of salons out here. Her prices are very reasonable and she's flexible with you! I have been going to her since she first moved out here and I will continue to be one her clients until I move. She makes me feel like I'm one of her friends and I enjoy and will miss the sweet talks and all our life conversations together. She is truly talented and such a sweet person. I encourage everyone to check her out on Instagram as well. I've never been disappointed with her work. read more

I thought it was going to be lighter but I'm really glad it went a little darker. I loveeee the shape I've been to other places and they just don't do them how I like it but Nikki took one look at the photo (I showed her the shape I wanted) and boom, she took her time and made sure they were perfect.
