    Remodel completed - front/entry area
    Leticia M.

    Same service with a more appealing environment AND new name. They began remodeling in February 2024. It was completed in March. The result is beautiful, fresh and it feels bigger. Same friendly faces with a couple new ones (original owner told me she is spending less time in the shop to spend more time with her family). Prices have increased though. I actually had sticker shock when I went to pay! I have been coming here for over a decade so I've experienced the prices going up as the economy changed but I was not prepared to pay $72 for what I used to pay $42 for (pedicure w/gel polish $35, underarm wax $7). I had an appointment for a pedicure and underarm wax. When I sat down the nail tech handed me the menu which she opened and turned to the page titled "Pedicure". I told her I wanted the "classic" with gel polish. She said "ok". This is my typical service except I usually add callus removal for an extra $5 but I had an appointment afterwards and didn't want to run late. Pedicure was good as always but felt shorter in terms of massage time. Waxing went smoothly. Then I go to pay and the lady says $72!!! In my head I was thinking WTF and trying to add it up on the spot. I figured it would be somewhere around $55- $60 give or take. I expected there would be a price increase since they just remodeled and upgraded everything but WOW. I gave her my card, added tip & signed. I left in such dismay and disappointment. I've been coming here since 2007, I know all the ladies, they've seen me with both pregnancies and watched my kids grow up. Now, I don't think I'll be going back. I moved away from the area years ago, but continued getting service here because the ladies know me, my usual service and the price was reasonable. It wasn't a glamorous salon but that didn't bother me. Now they offer you a complimentary beverage while you get your service. A free drink might be appealing to some but I'd rather not pay for it on the back end. I actually enjoy buying a drink from Rockies or Ks sandwiches and enjoying it while getting my service. I took photos of the menu so that I could add up the total in the car. Turns out the price for a gel pedicure is actually $52 - it was listed on a totally different page that I never saw because the nail tech directed me to the pedicure menu. The underarm wax increased to $20. I should have looked at the menu for the new pricing but didn't think it would have tripled. I understand they gotta increase their prices to stay afloat with today's economy but I feel being a regular customer for over a decade they could have given me the courtesy of letting me know that prices had a notable increase. I'll be going somewhere closer to home now but if you're looking for good nail & wax service try this place out. I can't speak for their other services (facial, lashes, etc. because they didn't offer them before).

    Loved my experience and my nails! Went in as a walk-in and got attended fast. Will go back in the future.

    It had been weeks over due for my hands and feet pampering, so yes, there was A LOT of work that was needed. I found Romantic nails on a google search. It was just down the road from where I was so I decided to try them out. SOOO HAPPY that I made that choice!!! They took their time and really did wonders! I felt totally pampered by the time I left. I'll be coming back for sure!! This is now my Go-to spot for nails while I'm in SanDiego. For sure!!

    Love my nails so much !!

I recommend calling to make an appointment!

    I truly love this salon, and Susan is always my go-to for pedicures. Unfortunately, my last few…read moreexperiences have left me feeling disappointed. Back in September, I came in to get my wedding nails done. Susan did my toes, but another nail tech worked on my hands. I don't remember her name, but I explained that I have shorter, wider fingers, and I immediately noticed she was applying very small nail tips. I mentioned my concern before she continued, but she dismissed it and assured me she knew what she was doing. Once the acrylic was applied, it became obvious to everyone that the tips were far too small. I was then sent to another tech to try to fix them. They did the best they could, but because the original tips were too small to begin with, the final result still wasn't what I had hoped for, especially for my wedding nails. After that experience, I honestly started questioning whether the 30-minute drive was still worth it. A few months later, my friend and I decided to come back for birthday pedicures because I really did want to see Susan again. However, once my pedicure was finished and Susan stepped away, my friend's nail tech, Rena, told me to put my socks and shoes on and get up to leave, even though my friend's nails were still being done. It made both of us feel rushed, uncomfortable, and unwelcome. I've always loved coming here, which is why these experiences have been so disappointing. Sadly, it's made me reconsider whether I'll be returning in the future.

Based on Yelp reviews, I chose this place for a little self-care on my day off. I booked a gel mani + pedi combo ($80, 1 hr 30 min) online to make sure I'd get in on time. I arrived about 15 minutes early and told them I had an appt for the gel combo and they were able to seat me right away. The salon wasn't too busy and just a couple of other clients. I was asked to pick out a color and directed to a spa chair for my pedicure. I noticed a younger female employee sitting nearby, watching a male technician work on another client's pedicure. It looked like she was in training, which I completely understand because everyone has to start somewhere, and I appreciate that she was eager to learn. However, she ended up being the one assigned to me. She was very kind and polite, but it quickly became clear that she was inexperienced. I have a manicure license myself, so I can usually tell when techniques aren't quite there yet. Sometimes I just want to relax and be pampered rather than do my own nails, which is why this was especially disappointing. Unfortunately, the results didn't meet expectations. My big toenail came out crooked, and my cuticles, which are usually my favorite part of the service were barely cleaned up if even touched. It felt like I paid close to $150 just to soak my feet, polish, and a massage. The service took almost two hours, and at the end, she offered a complimentary shoulder massage. While I appreciated the gesture, it felt a bit awkward as I was seated facing a printer while she massaged my shoulders and also felt like an afterthought. When I went to the front to pay, I was expecting the $80 I had booked. Instead, I was told my total was over $100. I politely asked why, since I had scheduled the gel mani/pedi combo, and was told it was because I received a "spa" pedicure, which costs more. However, this was never explained during booking or before the service started. The website didn't mention any upgrade or price difference, and I wasn't given an option to approve or decline it beforehand. That lack of transparency was frustrating and honestly added to the disappointment. I genuinely feel bad leaving a negative review because the girl was very nice, but overall, I left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with the quality of the service. Unfortunately, I would not recommend Sorry in advance for toe photos!
