This place did a decent job on our nails, but the customer service needs some work. When we walked in on a Friday evening (without an appointment), we were asked what we needed and everyone looked at us like we were crazy and rolled their eyes at us, but didn't say anything about being too busy to help us. The place had a few other people in chairs being helped, but no one else was waiting ahead of us. If we didn't have somewhere that we needed to be, we would have left because the employees were so rude to us. I understand that having an appointment is helpful, but if you're going to be rude about not having appointments, then don't accept walk-ins or just estimate how long our wait will be and let us know/ask us to come back in a little while. Once we were hesitantly seated, the young girl who did my pedicure was really nice, but the other lady who was helping my sister continued to just kind of roll her eyes and rush through her pedicure. As I said above, they did a decent job in the end, and the price was fair, but they should really work on customer service. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE !!! I get my nails done about once a month and I always get the gel manicure (sometimes I get the regular pedi) but my gel manicure has NEVER chipped in between my appointments. They always last, even the designs and gems. Ivy is amazing ! I always ask for designs and she always manages to get it done, sometimes even better than whatever I pull up on Pinterest. Everyone is extremely friendly and smiling. We are always given water and sometimes I have to bring my kids in with me and they would offer my kids snacks and water as well. I can't go anywhere else ! This is definitely my nail spot. read more

Came here again after the incredible service from last time. This time, I decided to get a flower design on one of my nails instead of the French nails from before. Amazingly, the lady who was painting my nails--who I later discovered to be Ivy--remembered me from the last time I came! She even remembered what nail design she had given me. Definitely made me feel special. But it's not just Ivy. All of the workers really know what they're doing. You're in good hands--and you'll leave with good hands (haha bad joke here). Anyway, the price was pretty good. $15 for my nails, hopefully they'll last a while. Lots of designs to choose from, lots of different nail polishes to choose from. You can also bring your own nail polish if you want them to use it. Manicure, check. Next time, I'm looking to get a pedicure (I normally don't like having my feet touched, but I've heard a lot of good things about the pedicures and other Yelpers' toes look fantastic, so I'm willing to give it a go!). And apparently they do eyebrow (waxing, I think) too, if you're up to it. Overall, really awesome place. Will be back in the future. read more

I've gone to this salón a couple times and my mom used to go too before her tech quit. I got acrylics and they were pretty good but my sidewalls were always sub par and were like never even. Def not bad, but could be better read more

It's been a longtime since I have gotten my nails done & was on the hunt for new go-to nail salon. I saw this place had great reviews so I gave it a shot. Ivy did a fantastic job on finding me the right color I was looking for. She even tested several out on my nails to help me decide. This was my first time getting an almond shape rather than square and I'm hooked! Ivy makes sure the shape and length are the same on all the nails. I also liked how if there was an air bubble or fabric hair she'd immediately take it off and start the paint over. The polish was very light in color which can tend to be streaky but she made sure to get it to look solid! I absolutely love my gel manicure. I did also get a pedicure, which was okay. To be honest, I felt it was a little "weak" (very light massage and scrub) and am used to a longer service at other places even with a basic pedi. But it was not bad and my nails still came out looking fresh. Definitely will be back for gel manicures in the future!! read more

NN Nails - Love my gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I did an ombré pink and white acrylic with a little of the glitter white powder. Classy with a splash of fun. Highly recommend the gal who did them for me, her name is Ivy. She thoroughly discussed it with me beforehand to make sure I'd be completely satisfied and didn't stop until they were perfect. I paid $45 for this which is more than my usual fill but she also replaced a broken and did the fancy coffin cut. Next time she said it would be around $35. I'll be back for more! :) Also, this place will almost always get you in. I took a group of 5 girls here last minute for pedis after work and they made it work! read more

I've been to so many nail salons over the years. Probably around 30. I went to Q Nails today for the very first time. My niece recommended it. They are by far the best at what they do. My technician was Macy. She did an amazing job and this will be my go to place from now on!! They do not take walk ins, by appointment only. read more

NN Nails - French Ombré, Love it!! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Amazing experience. Originally tried a place out of convenience in RB which turned me away due to a 30 minute wait. Q Nails has such a convenient location just off the 15 freeway on Carmel Mountain Road. The parking lot is small but the giant Haggen/Office Depot one just a few yards away is also nearby. Lisa took me right away for a trim and fill, gel acrylic. I originally wanted a pedicure as well but I arrived later in the evening without an appointment and the technicians had walk-ins for pedis. I didn't mind because I had such a fantastic and skilled technician in Lisa for my mani that I fully enjoyed the mani without the dual action when you have a mani and pedi at the same time. Kind of overwhelming and I'm ticklish. Peaceful ambiance and friendly staff. read more

NN Nails - Fresh Eggplant gel acrylic, round edges. Such attention to detail! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Got a gel french manicure and pedicure. Pedicure was done absolutely amazing and fast! 10 out of 10! I can not say the same about manicure unfortunately. The lady cut all my hands to bleeding. Had to wait a week and go to another place to fix :( She might had a bad day or something, but now I would not come back even though the other master was great. read more

I love this place. The staff is very professional and yes when they say quite it's not a under statement, it is quite. They are not constantly talking in their language. Co and Amy were my mani pedi specialists and I was very happy that they helped me. They both were very thorough and detailed oriented. They didn't rush or made me rush in choosing a color. I would go back. read more

I've been getting manicures (dip) and pedicures here for four years. It is always clean from the tools to the floors. Ivy and her team are all very professional, nice and attentive. My nails always turn out nice! Zuli M, wrote a review which is not accurate, I was sitting next to her and we were both getting manicures, her constant commenting about getting the shape exactly right was annoying and nit picky it took three manicurists to get the shape right for her - only because of her complaining; I suggest to Zuli M that you find another salon to go to so the rest of us can enjoy our time in peace. Q Nails is great and I highly recommend them!! read more

I brought my boyfriend here to get a pedicure and they took us in very quickly, got us seated and situated. The ladies were very sweet & had great time management which is extremely appreciated! Loving my toes and my boyfriends feet feel great lol read more

Best nail salon I have found within a reasonable distance from 92130. The ladies are always nice and give actually care about doing quality manicures and pedicures which seems very rare around here! Definitely my go to place since I moved up here and not trying anywhere else! Love this place! read more

Oh man....I had such high hopes for the place considering the reviews here, sadly I left with a pretty decent pedicure and a very upset sister. Pro: they answered the phone quickly and were able to book me at the time I needed They gave us water bottle when we were seated Cons: they had us wait 45mins to do ombré nails, which they said they could do as we showed them their own yelp picture. Unfortunately, they failed to mention they were going to "attempt it". After having a girl try to do my sisters ONE nail, 15 mins later, the girl said she didn't know how and traded her off. Too late! An hour and 15 mins later, no! Then the best PART...the audacity to ask to pay for a manicure. Oh wow! I came here for a service that you couldn't even provide and had me wait an hour! Nooooo way. FAIL! And a waist of time! read more

Love this place! Ivy is a perfectionist & does amazing nails, takes her time (which I don't mind) was in/out within an hour (which is standard for a pedi/gel (shellack) Abie did a great pedi & overall a happy client. Pros: they have the proper equipment to STERILIZE all their tools! The chairs are cleaned well too - THATS HUGE!! Great selection of polishes & their "perfect match" really MATCHES!! Staff is friendly & will go the extra mile to meet your requests. Have nothing negative to say & highly recommend this place! read more

NN Nails - Perfect gel natural nails with a little glitter! Done by Ivy! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Very Friendly and nice ladies. Clean and organized. And their price is fairly decent. They got a repeat customer here.

I've been going to Q Nails for 3 years. What I liked about them is that everything was sterile and had clearly been cleaned. They've drifted away from that so I haven't been back in awhile. What I did like about them however is that it was easy to hangout there. The ladies are so very nice! PLUS they always have the food channel on. The interior is beautiful with gorgeous chandeliers and nicely spaced nail stations. Their prices are great and I've never had to wait long especially with my appointment. Hopefully they get back to sanitizing their utensils again. Because otherwise they are perfect! read more

Ivy is amazing!!! I definitely recommend going here. They are clean and very sanitary also they put a lot of time and effort to give the results as clean as possible. read more

I enjoyed my spa pedicure with sugar scrub. I walked in at the same time as another woman getting a pedicure but they got us both set up with the foot bath and the massage chair to wait. I ended up waiting about 15 mins for someone to free up to start my pedicure but it was so nice to be able to wait in the massage chair! Spring for the sugar scrub; it smells like heaven and my legs feel so so soft! I will definitely come back. This salon seemed very clean. A word of advice, make sure that you bring cash to tip with. If you have to tip on your card, the salon gets charged the processing fees. read more

I don't know what it is, maybe they have some magic dust they sprinkle in their dip powders but the dip on my nails end up lasting me for almost a month before I start to see a crack or lifting. Their dip outlasts any other times I've gotten dip prior from other salons and my nail beds don't look like they've been through a grinder after removal. I really appreciate their attention to detail. read more

Sigh. I loved this place, I really did, but the last few experiences opened my eyes a bit and have made me sort of want to venture else where for the time being. I've been coming here for the past year or so and have been doing so consistently mainly because of their attention to detail and kindness but over the course of several months, have found several other things that have been consistently bothering me. Almost each time I leave, they've managed to somehow draw blood. I never make a big deal out of it because hey it happens, but it's getting concerning now that it's become a regular issue and it's not something I like having to come to terms with when getting a mani. Without exaggeration, there will be blood present in 3 of 5 manicures and that's a ratio that's frankly too high to deal with. I've never gotten an infection, and they're never serious cuts, but it's just having to tend to a wound after a relaxing experience that ruins it all for me. :( Ivy's found a way to be particularly careful, but because she's not always there, I don't always make it a big deal to ask for her thus the technician I end up with will most likely find a way to nick me. It was particularly heartbreaking this last time when the bleeding wasn't even acknowledged, and I didn't even receive an apology or any sort of aid for it. The pedicures have always been phenomenal; they've last forever, and I never had any complains, but this last one in particular was just average. The nails were cut unevenly, both in length between feet, and also in angle--the big toe on my right foot is at a near 30 degree angle and quite visibly crooked, especially in comparison to how straight the left big toe is! I understand how busy they have been and continue to be, but I can't continue to justify the price for diminishing quality if that's the reason why they feel rushed to get through customers (with appointments) to fit in walk-ins. Another side note regarding their appointments, is that while they are easy to make (you just call them on the phone and they answer pretty quickly) it's actually become somewhat of a hassle as well. I've also noticed they also tend to mishear me over the phone due to the loud nature of the salon, and on 2 occasions now they've misheard me and written me down for the wrong day and have called me asking me where I am, even though I made sure to (repeatedly) ask for a particular day & time. It's not a big deal since I know they've probably got their hands full (yes, I'm seriously trying hard to be as understanding as possible) but it's just a bit awkward and inconvenient to keep wondering whether they got my appointment correct, and if they had a better system in place, this could possibly help with the confusion it causes when customers walk in for appointments they thought they had made over the phone but were written down incorrectly. Overall, it's nice they offer you water when you arrive each time and everyone's really friendly, and they never say anything bad about you, but I've just personally found that the consistency and quality I've received has diminished somewhat over time, especially when I can't get ahold of Ivy for my manicures. It's become too much of a hassle to deal with nicks and cuts and rushed appointments as well, unfortunately :( read more

I've been going here for about a year. I've been pleased with the service. Ivy, the owner hasn't been there lately, and there a few new faces. Today, my fingers had paint in the corners and under the nails. I tried to clean them myself, but I knew I needed special tools so I went in for a $12 manicure just to clean my nails. I looked down at my nails when I sat down, and looked at my rings. They had paint under the diamonds, and I thought to myself, I wish they cleaned rings too... So, I KNOW it was on when I arrived at the salon. Got my manicure and a pedicure, they did a great job, as usual. However, less than an hour later, a gold band I was wearing wasn't on my finger anymore. They greased up my hands pretty good while they massaged (I didn't take my rings off for my manicure oops!). It could have slipped off in the salon, it could have slipped off when I came home. I called, and they didn't understand what I was saying. I spoke to a second person, she said they didn't find it. I honestly think it could have slipped off. I don't think the new person stole it. I came in, not upset, but asked if it had been found, as I wasn't certain that over the phone my complaint was understood. No one got up to help me, they just sort of watched as I hunted around. They didn't apologize, and then one of the newer employees who speaks better English looked at me and LIED TO ME. She told me that she looked at my hands when I arrived (She wasn't even the one serving me, she was sitting on the couch playing on her cell phone the whole time I was there), and she told me that I wasn't wearing ANY rings, which is a BOLD LIE. The problem isn't the missing ring, as that could have easily been an accident, but it was the fact that I was lied to. She flat out lied and said I wasn't wearing any rings. It would have been fine, I wouldn't have posted a word on Yelp, but your word is your honor, and I can't trust their word when their employee lied to me when I came in to look for my missing wedding ring. Hopefully, this is addressed by the owners. I didn't raise my voice, or claim that it was stolen. I just am upset that I was lied to while looking for my wedding band. UPDATE: it did slip off. It was found in my yard. It is good for me to know to be careful with lotion and rings. Still not happy how I was treated as a regular. read more

Worst nail appt I've ever had. I never give bad reviews really I am very positive... the only nice thing I can say is it is a clean salon. I had an appointment at 12:30 for SnS nails. Didn't get started till 1pm, I was sitting there waiting. They kept trying to convince me to do something else which was annoying, I have my reasons for doing SNS. The lady is so rushed she filed my nails on the side to the point where the file CUT me on multiple nails, multiple cuticles . Coming from a cosmetology background I know that is a state board violation. My fingers literally started bleeding and I had to verbally tell her to stop. All she did was wipe them with cotton, she wanted to nail glue my skin and I told her no. Had to go home and clean my cuticles properly to prevent infection. My nails look cute but the shape was off. Really disappointed. Don't try to contact me, I will not be returning to this salon, and no I will NOT remove my review. read more

This place is amazing. It is under new management and is just all around professional. The staff is so friendly--especially Abbie and Ivy. They really pay attention to detail and make sure you leave happy. And they remember you by name when you come back :) I tried Healthy Nails which is their alternative to acrylic, and I will never go back to acrylic. My nails have never been stronger. And, I can go 3-4 weeks without any chipping or breaking. If you've always gotten acrylics, or if your nails are damaged from taking off acrylics yourself or for some other reason, give healthy nails a try. As long as I live in SD, I will always come here to get my nails done. read more

I came in here today asking for an sns powder manicure and a regular pedicure and understood that the wait would be a little longer cause it's the weekend. I gave this place 2 stars because I was promised I'd be able to get everything done when I agreed to sit down and wait. 45 minutes later, halfway through my pedicure, they told me their sns girl was busy and asked me to change my manicure to acrylic or come back another day. It was a waste of my time seeing that I could have just gone to a place closer to home. The pedicurist also wasn't paying attention and started painting my nails a different color than what i had asked for. Thankfully I was paying attention and stopped her halfway through. I wish they would be more attentive to the customers they already had instead of trying to keep everyone in the shop. read more
