I have been getting my nails done by Alva for awhile now and she always does such a great job. I like to do cat eye gel and every time I go, Alva comes up with a new design to try. I've been very happy each time with how they turn out and get lots of compliments. Great service overall! read more

What was great to call and ask questions before going since we are here from Chicago. They have limited information on the website however it was a helpful call. It was recommended we schedule an appointment to avoid a long wait; so we did. Due to a previous meeting we were a few minutes late to the appointment. We thought it would be an issue (based on the advice of "scheduling to assure no long wait time. " The salon had be more employees than the 1patron when we walked in. The receptionist was pleasant and friendly. The salon was open, spacious. Well lit and clean. The is a major plus to allow the technician and the client to see the work. The technician I had not directed me to my chair, she also started the massage chair just as I was seated. As she worked on my feet she asked if I was okay which is a good customer service call because I am not a regular client. Just before she moved to paint my toe nails I pointed out there was still a rough spot on my foot; she nodded and said "cracked heel" however did not address it. ( was that because I'd only gotten the basic pedi). Even my regular place in Illinois if a client points out a concern they address it no matter the service; if it concerned your heels. That said, the service from the technician was good and professional. When we return to the area I will schedule an appointment for a pedicure again. read more

Prestige Nails - Gel French Tip Pedicure with gemstones - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

I found Prestige Nails last year and they are the only place I would go to get my pedicures (and occasional manicures). Ann has spent the last year painstakingly fixing my mangled toenails and I can now wear nail polish on my toenails! Alva and Hannah are also great as well. To top it off, I walk in and the first thing Gianna says is "Hi Julie!". She gets me set up and offers me something to drink. They are the best! read more

Ugly nails and uglier service.... This is actually the worst salon I've ever been to in my life. I walked-in, after 20 mins of waiting they tell me they will seat me next. I told them I will step out to charge my phone and asked "will you guys call or text me when you guys are ready for me? , I'll be out in my car". They said "yes" they would call me. After another 20 minutes no one called, so I go back inside to see the what's happening. Two more people who walked in are sat before me, as I wait an extra 20 minutes. I ask how long the wait is, they say "10 minutes". After an 1 hour and 30 minutes they finally seat me. I ask "I thought you guys were going to call or text me when you're ready?". The lady responds "oh we don't have your number". I said "yes, it's in the system when you check-in" and she said that they don't. So why make us put our phone numbers in the system ? AND WHY TELL ME THAT YOU'RE GONNA CALL ME WHEN YALL SUPPOSEDLY DONT GOT MY NUMBER. There was no apologies and everyone is rude. On top of that my manicure is botched as hell ($90 for some dog nails), nothing like I wanted. Side by side is what I wanted vs. what I got. I wish exaggerating... yall pissed me off clean ! read more

This shop is popular. There are 9 chairs for pedicures and 9 chairs for manicures. My daughter was a walk-in. They do have a reservation system though. At the time of our arrival they didn't have any techs available, but we were given an appointment for an hour later that was honored 15 minutes early (much appreciated). Quality and cleanliness is good. The vibe is relaxing. read more

Live nearby and was looking for a new nail place so came here and the staff are nice, extra nice if you're Caucasian. The prices are high. This place is usually busy so it's best to call and make an appointment if you don't want to wait. The quality was nothing over the top for what they charge. I did appreciate how clean the place is but it's also a big place so it can get loud and just busy vibes from the moment you step inside. read more

I had the mani pedi this afternoon... the pedicure was a positive experience. The manicure on the other hand... yikes. I'm not very picky, but when I'm paying a lot of money for a service, I expect it to not be messy or rushed. I've been getting builder gel/hard gel for 5+ years now. I had a great salon in north park area that I was loyal to, and then we moved up to the Escondido area. I've been looking for a new go-to salon, and I thought this would be it since the reviews are pretty good? I'm pretty upset with how my manicure turned out. It's sloppy, the nails aren't filed evenly, and the design is something I could've done in my sleep (it's smeared In multiple places?)... I paid $10 for this design, $10 to trim my cuticles (and they look worse than before...), and another $70 for the hard gel? I've never spent this much on a manicure and it's the worst quality manicure I've ever gotten. The tech seemed rushed to get to another client... Long story short, I'm requesting a full refund on the manicure, and if I don't receive a response, I will be filing a chargeback with my credit card. I plan on going back to my original spot tomorrow to have them redone. read more

Prestige Nails - Polly and Kim were amazing. First timer and absolutely happy! - Nail Salons Near Me - Escondido, California

Would not recommended at all. I got a gel manicure and pedicure. The whole time the staff was extremely rude and were rushing just to get me in and out. It was not relaxing at all. They did my manicure and pedicure at the same time, wouldn't even let me turn on the massage chair I was sitting it. My gel polish was completely chipped in 3 days! read more

Save urself the trouble there's plenty of other nail salons out there ! 1st off overpriced ! 2nd nobody has a personality, u got one gal that just walks back n forth doing absolutely nothing but looking like a waste of space especially when there's a wait !! 3rd getting an appointment is a joke , u will sit n wait as if ur time is not important!! Do urself a favor and find another place , I believe there's one literally across the street ! Hope this review helps cause I was banbuzzeled when I read the reviews , I can only assume those reviews were a bot !! read more

if you want to pay a lot of $ for a very ordinary pedicure, then this is your place. Nothing out of the ordinary that would warrant the best part of one hundred bucks for a pedicure! And my heels, though aggressively scrubbed with the pumice, came away all scratchy & rough. The staff are the usual collection of Asian women who laugh & joke with each other but seemingly are not fluent enough in English to communicate with the client. Once was enough. I will be taking my feet elsewhere to get my nails cut short, a concept that seemed to be incomprehensible to the nail tech. read more

Prestige Nails is a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Every manicure and pedicure I've had has lasted at least 6 to 8 weeks. I was able to get in without an appointment on a weekend! Service is extraordinary. I highly recommend this place. read more

I really tried to make this salon work after moving to the area -- I gave Prestige Nail 8 chances over the span of 3 months. Unfortunately, I've reached the point where I have to give up. Each visit came with some issue -- whether it was with the service, billing, scheduling, or all of the above. Twice they rescheduled my appointment last-minute, only for the technician to question why I was "late" (I wasn't -- I came at the newly scheduled time). My first visit was a disaster: I brought a reference photo and was very clear about what I wanted -- simple, clean nails, nearly identical to what I already had. Still, the shape, color, and length were all wrong, and the tech didn't ask for my input until she was already halfway done. I expressed that I wasn't happy, but she continued anyway. When I checked out and gave polite feedback, I was told, "I'm sorry. That'll be $63." Over time, I started noticing inconsistent billing -- I was charged different amounts for the same service nearly every time. When I asked about it, the receptionist (Giana) was consistently rude and dismissive. On my last visit -- the final straw -- I was again overcharged. I questioned it, and she adjusted the bill, only to immediately add another charge (for a nail fix I shouldn't have needed in the first place). I had brought in the actual broken nail to show them it hadn't been properly sealed -- you could visibly see where water got in and fungus had started to form. I tried to explain this to Giana, who demanded "proof" in the form of photos, even after I told her I had the actual nail -- which was in the tech's trash bin. Only when I insisted I'd retrieve it did she finally relent and ask how I wanted the refund. In just 3 months, I developed fungus on 3 nails -- something that never happened in 2 years of regular nail maintenance elsewhere. I've also had at least 6 nails break within a week of leaving the salon. There's more I could say, but ultimately: this salon is disorganized, inconsistent, and poorly managed, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to anyone. read more

Ive been coming here for 5 years and have always raved about what a good job they do, however the price has gotten out of control and now they're non toxic meaning they don't do acrylic anymore and I'm not willing to pay $80+ for in my opinion stick on nails. So I won't be back read more

Moved to Escondido from San Diego and had a nail shop that I loved. Been looking all over north county for a spot to replace my old salon and sadly this place is not it... The price is not worth the service. Way too expensive for what's provided. I wish I would've read the reviews before coming but after I already sat down for a pedicure and put my feet in the water, was handed the price list and felt like it was too late. A regular pedicure with French tip usually goes for $25-$30 but this place charged double if not more than that and for that price I would expect a long massage or scrub to come with it but that did not happen. Will sadly not be returning... read more

Service is amazing no one is on their phones. Prepare for a very relaxing experience. Hold on not to mention the spa is non toxic a huge plus. Ask for a water or a vietnamese coffee! I only do pedicures and they last me at least 4 weeks and I come out very relaxed and needed a nap. Amazing a must try. Thank you-Porscha read more

Poorly job on the fastest pedicure I've ever had. To top it off they're charging $47 for a regular pedicure. I don't mind paying when I'm happy with the service but this was a 10 min pedicure. read more

I am shocked how bad this pedicure was! I thought I'd treat myself to the top of the line service, what a joke! She ran through the different treatments so fast, like callious remover slaped on and removed right away. She didn't remove any cuticals and when I called her out on it right before polish, she got her back up saying they were 'clean.' But then she went back and did a little of it. They hand you an eye mask and she kept telling me to put it on. I'm sure it was so I couldn't see how little she was doing. The leg massage was a joke, the whole experence was a joke. AND when my girlfriend saw my toes later that day she said it looked like AN 8 YEAR OLD PAINTED THEM! read more

Such a wonderful and relaxing experience! I love this place and go often for mani and pedi

Went in to get a full set of gel-x nails. I really loved the chrome, but found huge gaps of space under a few of my finished nails and gobs of cured gel under the rest of my nails. Sad to say I should have just done them myself. I paid $90 for this, really disappointed. However, the staff were very very nice and accommodating, just sad about my nails! read more

I used to be a regular customer at Prestige. I came in on Thursday around 2:30 and asked for a mani/ pedi. I was told it would be 10 min. I knew I had one hour before getting kids and that was my only window. I waited 20 min and got a seat at a pedicure chair and asked if I could get a manicure at the same time but was told they wouldn't be able to. I decided to make an appointment for the next day at 3:15. So next day I get there at 3:15 and I waited 25 min.. but again I knew I had an hour window between work and getting my kids. I let them know and then my service was rushed. I left paying $115 and I don't think the quality or customer service is worth the price anymore. read more

The nail technicians are very professional & are diligent about being focused on the job. I've gone to quite a few nail shops and the technicians are talking to each other & not paying attention or stopping because they are talking to each other, but not here. The shop is clean, neat and cute. Jenny the owner hosts different fun events with other local stores & also sells gifts at the shop. I've been coming here for less than a year and it's been a great experience. read more

I've never written a yelp review but I am in disbelief with my experience in this nail salon ,I got a gel x manicure for 70$ and 6 of my nails fell off the same week I got them done ,they fixed the broken nails for free but they kept breaking off so I asked and they refused to give me a refund or a free new set ,they offered to give me "50% off" for a new set but why should I have to pay when the nails I payed 70$ keep breaking off that's not my fault ,definitely never going there again and don't recommend their gel x service,the woman that fixed the broken nails did a terrible job the shape looks horrible they are paper thin they look like press ons ,there's gel on my skin . read more

The absolute worse place for walk ins. I walked in for a basic pedicure and the lady had me wait for 15 minutes and choose my color. Then, I was told by the same lady "can you come back later." She was offering me a time frame much later than she offered customers that arrived after me. I totally understand you prioritize appointments and if you are understaffed, but have some respect for those that walk into your establishment for your services. Communicate before you have us waiting just to be denied when I could be making my way to another place. read more

Hannah is an artist! She was so patient with me, especially since this was my first time getting GelX. The nail techs are so funny, make sure you're comfortable, and the atmosphere is so lively. I had a not so similar experience with Cynthia. I want to preface this by saying this could be a difference in personality, so I will focus on the unprofessionalism. A client does not need to hear that you would "never get that length/design". Which is funny because she then proceeds to ask another nail tech to put the same length on her. I also have never experienced management rush a nail tech and their client. My app was at 5:15, started around 5:30, finished and paid by 7:15. "Are you trying to stay here all night", "I need to see the design because no way I'm here after 7", "The poor girl was here all day". Also the multiple comments about how I'll "scratch my butt" or "have problems wiping my butt". I know that's an on going joke with nails, but it's a little overdone when you mention it multiple times and mock me with your friend right in front of me. Would have been a 5/5 stars if it wasn't for the unnecessary and rude comments made by Cynthia. Hannah, thank you again for your incredible work. read more
