[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was pretty good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came around 5 pm as a walk in and luckily they weren't busy, just one other client.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But then a few min later a couple more people came so one of them had to wait. Got the regular mani/pedi. This place was a bit cheaper than the last place I went. They did a great job on the nails, however we when she was cleaning out the area behind my thumb nail I think she got too deep so my finger hurts a bit. They had a couple tv's - one with the cooking show on one and a video of the Maldives on loop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall they were nice and did a good job, I would go back again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was basically a walk-in but called ahead from Yelp, and while I waited for maybe 10, I just went next door and grabbed a Ban Mi sandwich. The service was outstanding. They spend a lot of time with you and when you're done you're not rushed out the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even offered me to sit in their relaxing massage chairs while I waited for my wife to finish her hair appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vicky was very kind and everybody was so nice there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely come back versus my normal place. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Jennie and Leslie - were fabulous. Absolutely love their warming demeanor, friendly gestures, and just kind conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are excellent at what they do and as someone who doesnt get their nails often, i needed recommendations and they were open to showing me what looks good (funny bunny or a different pink) without me feeling like i'm taking their time. This is the kind of service all nail salons need to adapt. This will most likely be my go to spot in the future! Thank you to these wonderful ladies! read more

I glued them back on since I was out of town. Came in when the fourth one came off to address the issue. The solution was to just glue the nail back on.

I even asked her if the color was brown, and she said yes. The whole appointment felt rushed, and the quality really wasn't great. The best part..... I was charged $85 for this.

I originally posted a review on April regarding the last visit I had right before New Years. I had been going to Nikki for about 2 years and was always happy and pleased with my nails. However, on the last visit I had I wasn't too pleased and I simply did not return. Months later I decide why not post about my experience? Well shortly after I was being texted and messaged through my Social media, even after blocking Nikki she got a different number to keep texting me. After Codie's story I realized I made a mistake in deleting that for future potential customers. I am licensed in Cosmetology and know state regulations for hair as well as nails. I've had my license for 10 years and am well aware of products and what not to use. My nails were left in such bad shape I couldn't get acrylics for 8 months! I barely had them done ( else where) after them being so fragile from me having to file them off. read more

I absolutely love coming here to get my nails done! They do such a wonderful job cleaning up my cuticles and making sure everything looks perfect, even under the nails. Their attention to detail is amazing. The pedicures are a real treat..every one comes with a massage that feels so relaxing and refreshing. It's the perfect way to unwind and pamper yourself. The staff is friendly and professional, and the overall experience is always top-notch. If you're looking for a place that goes the extra mile to make your nails look and feel great, this is it! read more

Nikki is so awesome she always does my nails the way I want them. Even when I bring a picture to her she does it the same way. Love the way she is with me and I loved how when I first went with her she was super nice we traded numbers and from there I made appointments through her and she always remembered me and the last conversation we had, now that is an amazing person. At first I went to a busy busy location but this new location is fabulous it's small and quiet not a lot of people which is what I always look for. read more

Pedicures are great! Gel manicures are not. I went in months ago. The woman sanded the previous gel polish off so much she ended up sanding down my nails-it hurt! My nails ended up brittle and breaking for about 4 months until the new nails grew in because she had sanded them so thin. I only come here now for a last minute pedicure because its close to my house. But I will NOT let them touch my hands. Ruined my nails and the gel product at the end wasn't that great either. read more

I've been to several nail salons in San Marcos. This salon is by far the best. You can probably find one that is cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Nikki does my nails and I have never had a nail break. She listens and always does them just how I like them. They have new pedi chairs and all the girls are very professional. It's clean and that is always something I look for. Like I said the best in San Marcos!! read more

Nikki does my nails and I am always impressed with the quality of her work. My gel stays perfect, despite growing out of course, right up until my next appointment. Plus, she is very careful with her tools. Many times I have been cut or scratched by a nail tech who is too rough, and I never have that problem with Nikki. This is a great little neighborhood salon! read more

At 73 years old, I have only recently learned the importance of taking good care of my feet. With…read moreneuropathy beginning to get the best of them, I decided it was time to do something about it. Last Saturday, while driving through San Marcos, I noticed a small nail and spa shop called Emily's Nail & Spa--coincidentally, Emily is my granddaughter's name. I took it as a sign and decided to stop in and give it a try. Saturday afternoons can be hectic in the manicure and pedicure business, so I wasn't sure what my chances were. The chairs were full, but I was pleasantly told the wait would only be about 15 minutes. I had barely sat down when I was escorted to one of their new, comfortable vibrating chairs and invited to soak my feet in a perfectly warm, whirlpool bath. The shop isn't large, but it is modern, clean, comfortable, and welcoming. My hostess, Ellie, soon began what turned out to be the most enjoyable and comforting pedicure my tired size 14 1/2 EEE feet have ever experienced. I relaxed through the massage and pampering, nearly falling asleep from the sheer comfort of the treatment. Next came my manicure, which was equally impressive--without question, the best I have ever had. During my visit, I enjoyed a refreshing conversation with Ellie. She is warm, kind, professional, and clearly talented at what she does. I highly recommend Emily's Nail & Spa to anyone looking for a relaxing and professional experience.

His massages are as if he works at an expensive spa - like actually massages and not just rubs the lotion on like most other places. I love that he doesn't do small talk and is efficient but careful. These massage chairs give me life. They all speak perfect English, which makes the whole process so much easier. Everyone is super nice and they're so easy to schedule with by text. I've referred many people here who are equally satisfied with their service. People on here complain their polish chipped early but they're happy to fix it for you if you go back in and tell them what happened. They have almost no turnover so everyone gets along and it's just a good vibe there. One area of improvement - the horrible television programs they always have on the tv. Weird music videos of one direction/Taylor swift or a weird cooking channel that's like always showing how sausage is made. It's a lose lose situation whatever screen you look at. Just leave it off tbh.
