Lashes falling off before I even left the plaza it's in.

Marcela L.

I tried to give this place a chance despite reading the reviews but next time I'll just listen. I came yesterday to get hybrid extensions for my upcoming bday trip, and now I'm not even sure I'll have my own damn lashes. Never had I ever had an experience like this with my lashes. Be prepared to have your lids SCOTCH TAPED like you're in an Mk-Ultra experiment. The worker's too busy on the phone tapping away to talk to you and then will laugh when she realizes she glues your eyes shut. She'll pry your eyes open with no care, ripping off all your natural lashes. I don't even want to know the glue they have. They ripped the little labels off the bottles without a care. Just BAD!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I need to go to urgent care cause It hurts to stare into the light. I even gave them a tip too cause I felt bad, NAW

Service requested and quality wouldn't honor my Groupon made me pay in cash did a classic set in 15 to 20 min which these are not classic and they are all falling off she told me it was not her problem I would have to repay and this is the same day by the morning all lashes were off

Cindy is amazing! she did my eyelash extensions and nails. The salon is clean, sanitary and relaxing. phenomenal experience and absolutely in love with the results.

Customized nails for my bachelorette party!

They are so friendly here and always do a quality job! This is the best place I've found in La Mesa

Positives: staff was friendly and I was extremely excited about them having an 8:30am appointment available. They also offered complimentary drinks which is a nice touch. I originally asked for gel x (which I found out today on their website that they do actually offer) the male tech doing my nails didn't seem to understand what I was referring to, so I settled for just a simple manicure nude/natural gel polish or French no added enhancements. I actually did not receive a manicure but the male tech said he could do this on my short nails "for me" using acrylic. I haven't had acrylic nails in 5-10 years, so I forgot about the up sales ... anyway, I felt pain on my left middle finger but figured it would go away after a little while; fast forward a week later it's still very painful so painful I could not touch iI removed the acrylic coat and on the side of my finger was pus bubble.. I'm not sure why that happened but I'm afraid that as badly as I wanted that to be my new nail place, I just cannot do that service again, it honestly makes me question their sanitary practices. Overall- beautiful shop, friendly staff, I just had an unpleasant experience.

I have been looking for a good nail salon for a while here either in El Cajon or surrounding areas for when I am in town. If you are looking too, look no further. This place is fairly new, I believe about 3 months and trust me, they did not disappoint! Annie did amazing job. Everyone here works fast, efficiently, and they are very kind. I took my daughter with me, because she wanted sparkly nails and they did just that, although little I was very happy at how nice and attentive they were with her. I will definitely be coming back when I am in town again.

Amazing customer service. I got My fill and pedicure at the same time making my appointment nice and short. The music is great and the range of colors is impressive. Not to mention that they have great prices. Again great customer service.

Jessica T.

First time customer, called ahead for a spa pedicure and fill. Everyone was super cheerful and polite when I arrived and I was placed in a chair right away. Tony did a wonderful job switching my nails from stiletto to coffin shaped and helped me pick the perfect burgundy and peach combination to really bring the autumn theme to life. I was a little bummed that he didn't paint the tips of the nail, it left them looking unfinished, but he explained he never did the tips because it would throw off the rest of the nail? Not sure, but it wasn't worth fixing apparently. Thank you also to the young lady who did my toes, she did a wonderful job but i didn't catch her name. Overall a great experience, just wish i felt better about how my nails turned out. Pictures below. Quick add on: Now that I'm looking at these photos, I realize there are places on my nails you can see straight through the color... sigh. Not changing my rating, but less excited about having them.

This is when my nails were first done! The design was amazing!

Nicole M.

I love this salon! the music is relaxing as well as the environment. I got my nails done for the first time before prom by Julie, I put a lot of trust in her and she did not disappoint! I went back for a second time and loved the experience again! Julie spend 3 hours in me the first time to make sure everything was perfect! I highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about this salon and the new owners. I see it has a great history, but I followed Wendy and Ryan when they recently bought the shop. Wendy has done my acrylics for a couple of years and I love her work. I have never been unhappy with any of her work. Now that she has her own shop the experience is even better! It is so nice to visit the serene space she has created. read more

Don't bother making an appointment. No point because apparently when you make one it doesn't matter. I made an appointment @6 for a mani and pedi and they decided to take a girl in and I left because I was just sitting in a chair and it was already 6:25. I said I'll come back tomorrow. I come back @3:40. They have the audacity to tell me that they have an appointment @4 can I come back. But yet they couldn't give me that same courtesy for my appointment @6? No. Never coming back. She does good work but there is no structure when it comes to appointments. read more

I have been a client of Picasso Nails for approximately 5-6 years. I typically have pedicures with gel polish and occasionally manicures also. I had been taking a break from going out for services as such (thanks to Covid-times). So, after 8 months, I decided, it was time!! Ahhhhh, what a fantastic appointment I had with Pam!!! I am not the type to close my eyes and relax in a public place, but I did!! The salon is clean and quite relaxing, everyone is incredibly professional, and they are taking all of the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their clientele. I appreciate that even though I am not super regular at having appointments, that I am remembered each time I am in. In addition to remembering me, I am always asked about my family too (who occasionally come in with me). Lastly, Diane helped me so much with clipping my daughters nails when she was tiny-- her nails would just bend and wouldn't clip-away. It was was a great help!! read more

I was recommended to go to this salon by a friend. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon and asked for a manicure and pedicure and the employee literally said "we don't have time for you." I thought the employee was joking because he was so rude. Then he repeated himself and said "I said we don't have time for you" So extremely rude.

To be honest, I miss the old ownership so much. I've been going here for years, and when it went under new ownership I was hopeful. But the men are rude and speak down to their customers, I've heard them multiple times be sarcastic and essentially make fun of their customers. The staff just lounges around the shop, talking loudly on their cell phones. It's a strange vibe there now. I've been multiple times since the new ownership take over. Just in high hopes that I could still keep coming here. It's just two minutes from my house and I have purchased many gift certificates for friends and family over the years. But after the last few experiences I will not be going back. Shotty work, at best now. The quality has gone wayyyyy way down. read more

I came in with two friends for pedicures, and we accidentally showed up about 30 minutes before closing. Even so, the ladies were incredibly kind and welcoming. They were super gentle and did such a great job. I love that they offer different levels of pedicures and manicures depending on how pampered you want to be. I got the $20 pedicure and was genuinely so happy with the results. What really stood out to me, though, was the atmosphere. It reminded me of the kind of nail salons you'd find years ago -- simple, relaxed, and no-frills in the best way. These days, so many places feel overly fancy and intimidating, and the prices reflect that. This place felt comfortable, approachable, and focused on doing a good job without all the extra fluff. I'll definitely be back. Give them a shot!

Updated review, only caused they asked me to leave a review, even after I told them I already did…read more I'm not sure how the quality went down. Both my daughter and I got pedicures and my daughter also got a manicure, no gel (my daughter is 10). They said they couldn't do a design on her nails cause she wasn't getting gel, they could only use stickers? My pedicure was mediocre, I've never had a tech immediately go in with an electric file. I guess she assumed I had gel on my toenails? I paid for the pamper me pedi, but it felt very basic. The pedicure itself was sloppy. My daughter's pedicure was good. However her manicure chipped in a day. I get that regular polish chips much more quickly than gel, but if they only want to work with gel polish, then they shouldn't offer regular polish. I was disappointed in the end. It felt like we were being penalized for not getting gel. Even though we had an appointment, I felt like we were in the way. I'm so sad, I really thought I had found my nail shop.

From: Tessa, La mesa Nail Emergency Turned Perfection!…read more Before heading to Reno for five exciting days of rodeo events, I had a last-minute nail emergency and called Serenity Nail & Spa in La Mesa--fingers crossed they could fit me in. Even with a full salon, they (especially Vy) kindly squeezed me in and made me feel so relaxed. Then the magic happened! Vy created the perfect set of nails--comfortable, flawless, and exactly what I needed. The whole experience was amazing, and I felt so ready for my trip. Throughout Reno, I received so many compliments on my nails! Thank you, Serenity Nail & Spa, La Mesa -- you're truly the best!

Tucked in the back end of the La Mesa Trolley Station strip mall at Severin and Amaya (just to the east of the Pizza Hut ) is Picasso Nails & Spa. It is a calm venue, perfect for receiving a mani/pedi with the best arm and leg foot massage I have ever had. Needs a little help with some aggressive advertising since it is hidden from view. Go there you will be happy you did read more
