    i could not recommend nirvana enough. i'm shocked they only have 4 stars. if you want GREAT nails without sitting in a room full of strong scented chemicals for an hour i HIGHLY recommend. honestly even outside of the nontoxic benefits, they just do nails better than any salon i've experienced and i've explored around a dozen. the attention to detail is amazing. for this set specifically my nail tech was named tracy. love love love!!!!

    Awesome service, accommodated my daughters love for wicked in her pedicure! Definitely recommend!

    Lifted ring finger nail placement (I swear this is not normal lol)

    This is my first time getting a Gel X mani set and I am a bit disappointed. The receptionist Mike was very sweet in booking my appointment really fast so I was excited to come in. During the appointment the measurements looked good but after I noticed the nails were quite a bit crooked and did not match my finger lines. For what I payed I'm just slightly dissatisfied because this nail salon is on the pricer end since they are non-toxic.

    Wonderful salon. I celebrated my birthday with my friends here and appreciated the clean and fresh atmosphere and the kind nail techs. Would highly recommend.

    Went in for a spa day with my daughter and we had an amazing mani/pedi. It was a splurge well worth it. The owner Jennifer offered suggestions for colors that matched our personalities and style and had meticulous attention to detail on our designs. They stayed an hour after close to ensure our nails were perfect for the event we were prepping for. Overall would recommend them in a heart beat!

    Mani and pedi!!!

    My skin is glowing and I'm so relaxed. The neck, hand/arm and scalp massage, amazing. Then for a full day of beauty and mani and pedi. Make an appointment with Kait for the facial all the ladies are amazing do mani and pedi. I did the day of relaxation. Such a good deal!

    Craftsmanship wasn't all there, kinda messy near the cuticles
    Eunie J.

    Nice but craftsmanship isn't all there. My gel mani was kinda messy and when the water was too hot, the technician took the dirty water from my pedicure to wash my fingernails. It was gross.

    Broken set of nails

    The owner was really great offered us drinks, but did not do great on my set they broke in two day the stated to chip and they broke my nail I asked for a new set. Instead they went with refills, but they filed down too hard that it broke my set. I do not recommend to get gel nails. Never will come here again.

    I came in with no appointment and they squeezed me in. Not only is the salon spotless, the staff was so kind, so attentive, and my nails look amazing. Don't hesitate to come here and get yourself some yummy tacos next door!

    Diane is so personable and does phenomenal work. I have been using her for a couple years now and…read moreshe stands far apart than any boutique/salon you can find. She has a medical and analytical approach and caters to your needs and desires. It is not a one fits all. She is an artist to your face. I usually get the Juvéderm (I think) and just tried the lip filler and she was so patient and kind as I was very nervous. I highly recommend her and her professional team.

    Located at border of Poway and Rancho Bernardo, the office is on the second floor of the building…read more Like I mentioned before Diane is amazing! The only downside is they don't open on Saturday and Sunday so plan accordingly. I got a chemical peel which cost around $200. The procedure took about 30 minutes or less. Pain is 0.5 out of 10, not so much pain but more chemical irritation to eyes. You will get a fan to blow air which helps. You see results in about a week. My results were softer, smoother skin and smaller pores. Acne scarring texture issues were not fixed. For the IPL for cheeks only, cost is around $75. It takes about 15 minutes. It feels like zap of electricity current on your face, not so much pain but discomfort level 1/10. I only did one treatment and didn't see much results for this as my rosacea is still there. Suppose I need a second treatment to get better results. Plenty of parking and you can bring your dog! Love how this office is dog friendly! Kudos to refresh rx!

I've also got her facial treatment services and it has left my skin feeling rejuvenated. During the treatment I've felt relaxed and at ease. I highly recommend seeing her and trying out her other services. She can explain what services would best fit your profile.

    I recently planned a trip to visit a family friend in San Diego whom I hadn't seen in 10 years. My…read morefriend was so excited about my visit that they scheduled appointments for me with their hairstylist and highly recommended the Hydrafacial treatment for my aging skin. To be honest, I was hesitant. I've been to numerous salons, spas, and even dermatologists over the years, spending thousands on beauty products and treatments with disappointing results. However, my friend and two of their family members absolutely swore by this place--so I decided to give it a try. OMG--Melissa is truly exceptional! She is not only incredibly talented but also warm, cheerful, and honest. From the moment I sat down, she carefully assessed my hair and skin and gave me her professional, honest opinion. She genuinely respects your preferences, but she will also guide you with thoughtful recommendations. In fact, she could have made more money by doing the service I initially requested, but instead, she advised against a certain hair blending treatment because she felt it wasn't right for me at this time. That level of integrity is rare. Melissa thoroughly explained every step of the process, making sure I understood everything. I was so impressed by her knowledge and the time she took to educate me. This kind of personalized service is not something you typically experience at most salons or spas, where they simply follow a photo or your request without much discussion. Melissa truly takes the time to care. The personalized attention, respect, and skill she provides--without ever pushing additional services--made the experience even more special. After my haircut, I was beyond pleased. Then came the Hydrafacial treatment: it was incredibly thorough and expertly done. My skin was glowing, refreshed, deeply cleansed, and unbelievably smooth. My family immediately noticed the difference and were so impressed! I highly recommend this place for hair and skincare services. The salon itself is spotless, smells amazing, and has such a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. It was honestly the best hair and facial experience I've ever had. The prices are also very reasonable--actually lower than many of the spas and salons I've visited before. I'm sad that I live all the way in Las Vegas, but I will absolutely return whenever I'm in San Diego. I'm confident that anyone who visits Melissa will leave feeling happy, satisfied, and grateful. Highly, highly recommended!
