We've been coming here for about 3 years or so now and can confirm that this nail salon is top notch. After trying so many different salons via the Goldilocks syndrome lol we finally found the holy grail. The salon itself is relaxing, clean and comfortable. Yumi, Jackie and Ann are our favorites and a pleasure to work with. These ladies work hard and do quality work. Come in and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed! read more

Me and my mom came here on mother's day and was able to get an appointment in the same day shockingly! Parking was pleantiful. It was a perfect experience. I was expecting it to be busy like other places with a bunch of people and here it was such a relaxing environment and not crowded at all which tells me they have a good approach to time management and scheduling. Jackie and Lina were very accommodating and took me and my mother. I was impressed with the quality and speed of their work it is like an art for them. They have such excellent customer service and precision in work. read more

Here the worst of all "Don" he doesn't know how to cut cuticles or clean nails, or paint them.. the staff, they don't honor customer appoinments I booked my appointment with Tayson and when I arrived they assigned me to that guy, in addition the color gel is $10 dollars more!! Is this the saddest pedicure I've ever had in my life? Yes.. they don't make an effort to work hard to please the customer, but they do to get paid and on top of that they demand the tip. 3 days later, the gel fell off and the excess cuticle was noticeable. $60 dollar for nothing.. If you want quality work, go somewhere else. Or just donate your money to them, this is not a joke.. read more

The workers at Relax Nails & Spa are exceptional. Their excellent customer service, hospitality, and skill set them apart from other nail salons. The best part? Their prices are incredibly affordable. Customer service: All of the ladies here exude kindness, warmth, and are all welcoming. The customers here all seem familiar with the staff, indicating a strong clientele of regulars. I really cannot express enough how wonderful the staff here makes all of the customers feel. Service: Kim and Lenna have taken care of me here. They are both great. Even when they're busy, they take their time to be thorough. I've always left happy after getting my nails (both pedi and mani) done. I do like that they explicitly say that "women & men" are welcome with their signage - I've seen a handful of men here, too. So if you're a guy, feel comfortable coming here. Prices: As I mentioned, the prices here are honestly unbeatable for the area. I've been going to nail salons for years, and this location is a standout for their reasonable prices. 5/5 - This place deserves a full 5/5. It is important to mention that parking here is never an issue . Parking for nail salons in this area is really difficult, but this lot always has space. I will be coming here for many years to come. read more

Prices are very reasonable and they have never tried to upsell me. As others have mentioned, I notice most customers appear to be regulars - many men as well.

I have been going to this salon since I was in elementary some 16 years now and everyone there is so sweet and I never go home unsatisfied. Yen Mi is the best I love her creativity and working with me to make sure I always leave with nails I'm in love with. The rest of her staff is always so welcoming and asks me how I'm doing and how my family is. They do take walk-ins sometimes, but it's always best to call and make an appointment. Even if they can squeeze you in right away it lets them know to expect you if you call ahead of time. read more

First time here and Yemi did a great job! I got an acrylic fill and it took an hour. (Average length of time). She was friendly and chatted with me while doing my nails. She really paid attention to the detail and cared about making my nails perfect. She gave me exactly the shape I wanted (skinny coffin) and took the time to fix nail corners & shape. She took her time when painting the color on to make sure it looked great. Thanks Yemi! I'll be going back there. Update: My second time there was with Julia. She did a great job too! They really take their time to make sure your nails are perfect. The entire shop all said goodbye to me by name when I walked out :) makes you feel special and an appreciated customer! read more

I rarely give five stars for a nail salon but I can say that the women here are authentically kind. As a Vietnamese person, I dread when I come into nail salons because sometimes they say unprofessional things about the customers or amongst themselves and it makes me feel uncomfortable because I can sort of understand what they are saying (I am not fluent in this language). Anywho, they have moderate prices here and the one word I would describe the vibe here is "chill." It was exactly what I needed after a somewhat tough day at work and sometimes you just don't want to be in an uppity place when you're feeling low. Tldr: great work on my pedicure, professional people. One last thing they had traditional Vietnamese music playing in the background of the flute which doesn't sound pleasant to me but I'm sure you all don't mind. read more

I was able to get in quickly as a walk in for a pedicure. That's about the only good thing. She asked how the water was, I said it was cold - it never got much warmer. Also, they little filter wasn't put back together before she started filling the tub, so my feet were in the way of her trying to reassemble it... during the pedicure, she kept asking me to hold my feet up, while she did her thing - I've never had that request before? Like hold my legs straight out and up. Definitely got a bit of a workout... the nails on my big toes were cut way too short, so looks like I'm gonna have an ingrown nail situation (which I haven't had in a decade or more)... she only put one coat of polish, so it's super tacky looking - also the tip coat didn't even cover the entire nails. And when I was waiting for my nails to dry, she came over to clean the tub - like I had to move my feet to accommodate her. Not a good experience, at all. I've been looking for a good nail place in the area, and this is not it. read more

This place is seriously great ! Although it's not one of those new fancy nail salons, they have a great staff (that remembers you), parking, easily accessible off the freeway and right across from target, priced well and they do a great job! My friend introduced me to this nail salon about a year ago. I had been going to another place in hillcrest, which does a great job but they are a little expensive. When we walked in we were greated right away. One of the ladies remember my friend and her mom and asked how they were doing. I thought that was awesome! They have gel and great color selections. They have 7 nail areas and 8 pedicure seats with massage! They also take cards and tip on your cards which is nice ! Honestly, this is a great place and I recommend it to everyone. read more

Bee Waxed

Samira is my girl !!! I first started going to her in March and she's my go-to (Brazilian) wax…read moreperson in San Diego. I've been to a few other Brazilian wax places but Samira makes me feel so comfortable in a rather awkward situation. She doesn't force me to rebook immediately which I'm so thankful for. I come in whenever I have an event coming up that requires me to show a lil more skin than usual luls. Her prices are more than fair and we're able to joke and talk as she's waxing me. No other Brazilian place in SD has made me feel the need to write such a wonderful review. I highly recommend her and her studio!

I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new spot for my monthly refresh, so I'm so happy…read moreI came across Samira through Yelp! I went in for a Brazilian and underarm wax, and I'm happy to say both were quick and almost painless. Granted, I'm pretty used to waxing by now, but she really made me feel comfortable throughout the whole appointment. The space itself is nice and cozy, and I was in and out in about 35-40 minutes. I'll definitely be back and am so happy to have found a place this close to home. Booking online was also super easy, which made the whole experience even better.

Brazil Appeal Waxing

The Gold Standard for Painless Waxing!…read more I never thought I would use the words "relaxing" and "Brazilian wax" in the same sentence, but here we are! I am currently 35 weeks pregnant, and this was handsdown the most comfortable experience I've ever had. The Atmosphere & Experience From the start, the booking process was incredibly easy. The studio itself is spotless and features such thoughtful, homey touches, I loved the philology-inspired decor! What really set it apart, though, was the heated mattress pad. It made it so easy to settle in and actually enjoy the session. Why It's Different If you have a low pain threshold or are nervous about feeling awkward, this is the place for you. Zero Awkwardness: She made me feel so empowered and comfortable in my own body. The Technique: She uses expert counter-pressure which makes the process almost painless. I've had many Brazilians before, but this technique is a total life-saver. Final Verdict Whether you are a veteran to waxing or someone who is super uncomfortable with the idea, I cannot recommend this place enough. It was professional, hygienic, and surprisingly soothing. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you Kelly!

This review is LONG overdue…read more I had an amazing first time with Miss Kelly mid 2024. Before Miss Kelly's Brazil Appeal Waxing, I had been to several other salons. I had been going to one of these salons for at least 3 years. Her suite is currently located in the plaza across H-Mart and 24 Hour Fitness off of Balboa Ave in a secured building on the second floor. Her suite is cozy for Miss Kelly, her client, and the equipment she needs. I highly recommend Ms. Kelly and her services - both to those who are sensitive to pain, and even the "veterans" who have learned to "tough it out." Before booking, please take the time to read her website. You will notice that her pricing is higher than the regular waxing/sugaring establishments. This is because she takes her time prepping you and doing the wax itself, which is also why your appointment will be longer (this varies, of course). This is why the pain level is much more tolerable, and makes the price worth it. It has been a while since my first appointment with Ms. Kelly, but I have returned several times since. I unfortunately had to pause my appointments with her, but await the day that I can resume my appointments. Ms. Kelly is a gem and I CANNOT recommend her enough!

Love her cute little set up

I got a classic mani/pedi (with gentle removal of gel nail polish to preserve my natural nails) and was there for about an hour. My nails and cuticles still look great a week later and my classic pedi is still holding strong! Parking in this area can be a bit of a challenge but that's really the only downside. I'll definitely be returning and look forward to getting to know the staff more... I'll just ride the bus down 5th to get there to avoid parking issues next time lol

I went in for a classic pedicure and asked for her to file my nails and change the color, that's it! The technician was nice so I feel bad leaving this review, but the way she removed the gel from my toes was awful! She filed it down, put acetone and let it sit for a bit. Then she proceeded to peel off the old gel and tore the corner of my nail OFF. She then proceeded to say I had thin nails! I've been getting gel pedicures for a while now and NEVER has anyone tore a piece of my nail OFF! As a technician, even if my nail was thin she could of used a machine to remove the gel instead of tearing it off the way she did. I was so upset! She tried to tell me she would add a piece, which I declined so I just told her to cut what she could without leaving my nail too short. I will never return here. Maybe some folks like this method of removal but I did not and will not be returning for a pedicure. I will add the chairs were comfortable and I also got a gel manicure which he added so many layers too! There was one lady too that came by and was just talking to the technician who did my nails and the vibe just felt uncomfortable! I will never return!

I got a basic gel manicure and was pleased with the result even though it didn't feel as in depth on the cuticle cleanup. One thing to mention is that I had no nail polish and they still drilled my natural nail - which in my experience has only been used when I had gel polish that was to be removed. I'm not a mani connoisseur though so maybe that is normal? But considering I only do gel for special occasions in favor of my natural nails, it was a little weird. That said, the manicure lasted incredibly well and looked great 3 weeks later without chipping, which for a gal who is low maintenance is fabulous.

While I was getting my French manicure, the nail tech asked if the thickness was okay. I asked for thinner and she was visibly annoyed. She asked me again if it was okay, and I said thinner. She was super annoyed, when she asked again, I just let it go. But they were so uneven and thick. Not only that but the rest of them were on their phones and one of them even too a nap on the massage chair. I also noticed they charged me more than what was listed on their service menu. When they left me to dry my nails, Nobody checked up on me for at least 30 mins. I had to ask if I could go. Never again. They did a carelessly HORRIBLE job and were unprofessional and inattentive.
