If you're looking for the best nail salon in the South Bay, this is it. Lin is seriously one of a kind. She's patient, detail-oriented, and insanely talented when it comes to nail art. Whether you want something simple and clean or bold and creative, she delivers every single time. Since I started going to her, my natural nails have become so strong that I don't even need tips anymore. I just get an acrylic overlay, and they look flawless. And if Lin isn't available, book with DeDe without hesitation. She's just as talented, professional, and easy to talk to. The vibe here is always welcoming, and the conversations are just as good as the nails. What really makes this place special is how much they genuinely care about their clients. They don't treat you like just another appointment, they build real relationships and make you feel valued every time you walk in. I absolutely love Rosy Tips Nail & Spa, and once you go, you will too. read more

Rosy Tips Nails & Spa - Acrylic overlay with rhinestone - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been here several times before for pedicures and have sent many people here for their nails. Self-care is important and so it's nice that the workers and their clients don't make it weird because I'm a guy in there. Had an appointment for 530pm on a Wednesday. Wasn't a busy day. They had 4 people in there. I didn't get served until about 10 minutes after 6pm which I thought was unacceptable. Usually they get to me within 15 minutes. Regardless, it's a 3 star place. Conversation is pretty basic with them. They do make it a point to remind me everytime I go in that my cuticles are grown out and that I need to stop in more than every 2-3 months. So that doesn't make me feel great, however, the Spa Pedicure I get is pretty cheap, and they be putting in real good work. So it sorta balances each other out. Prices for some of the more deluxe packages seems to be a bit higher than I've seen in other places. The place is always clean, music always playing, and has a nice solid energy to it. Parking is good. It's located in a plaza but there's always spots available. read more

Rosy Tips Nails & Spa - The worst manicure ever - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

The last few times I've gotten my nails done here, I leave unsatisfied as the quality of my nails did not match the price. Paying $200+ dollars for subpar nails is actually ridiculous. French tips on both fingers and toes are uneven. I don't expect perfection but for what I'm paying I would appreciate more precision and not feeling like the work is rushed or like the person doing my nails would rather be anywhere else with anyone else. read more

THE WORST EXPERIENCE. Went for an eyebrow waxing and my eyebrows are now uneven. I literally explained to her to just clean it and follow my own shape. She literally left me with the thinnest eyebrow. I hate this place, she did what she wanted with my eyebrows. On top of that they are both uneven! DONT GOO!!!! Im literally crying. My eyebrows look so bad:( read more

*****STAY AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT ***** I wouldn't recommend this nail salon to anyone and based on some reviews this isn't the first time. I have never experienced such bad customer service from any nail spas like I did from this place. First of all to the blonde hair nail tech at second nail station you need better training. You DO NOT treat customers/clients like you own the establishment yourself when you are just an employee. I had booked my daughter graduation pedicure online and received the text message. From there I clicked it then appointment was confirmed. Got to the pedicure appointment 5-10 min early mind you it was busy. Signed in on their little sign- in electronic device which took us in. If our appointment was never confirmed as she stated it would have not allowed us to sign-in as confirmed appointment. I didn't have a problem until the employee with the blonde hair (2nd desk). Asked if I can show her the text which I didn't have a problem with and did. Then I also showed her the text which stated my appointment was confirmed. Right when I was about to leave she had the audacity to say under her breath "attitude". So, yes I turned around and said yes attitude... then proceeded to tell me that I don't know how to read. When I'm clearly showing you in your face both of the text messages I received. This employee needs to have better customer service training you DO NOT treat customers in such a way. I have seen salons overbook appointments and can't handle the pressure from it. If that's what happened this day that's on them because I had scheduled my daughter appointment & I posted pictures to prove it. This employee does need better training because non of the other employees had anything to say. They know when they are in the wrong but the blonde one just kept at it under her breath. There was no need for her to have said anything at all once she seen my daughters & I about to leave. Very very unprofessional establishment especially right in front of other customers. To the owner of this establishment I suggest better training because I am not the first one to put a complaint. Please ladies I suggest you take your business elsewhere this is not a welcoming establishment. You will be better off going to spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Where they will treat you better as well and more welcoming environment. read more

This manicure cost $96. NINTEY SIX DOLLARS !???? Both had a missing nail within 5 days of having them on. I don't do construction or am clanking my nails against a board. So why does the quality not justify the price?! I'm sorry but I just don't get it. I'm barely on Rosy Tips yelp page and it says that gratuity is included ? I'm happy my nail tech didn't communicate that with me. It was hard to communicate with her at all! Let's go back to the day I got these done. I'm gonna be nice and not say the nail techs name but she wasn't warm, welcoming or friendly AT ALL. Like I legit had to warm her up to me !!!!! I basically did 1/2 her job . When she was finally being a little verbal with me I communicated that I got builder gel last time because a nail tech had previously told me that they last longer. I had communicated to her that I was a licensed esthetician and I wash my hands a lot so I need something sturdy. She proceeded to tell me that builder gel is more flexible and proceeded to just put builder gel on while telling me that acrylics tend to be stronger. So why not put the acrylics then? It's a back and forth of communication and she just wasn't wanting to do any of that so she just proceeded. On their website it shows builder set $55 $10 for a fill and then charges me $86 (+ $10 cash tip) ? I got no designs nothing to intricate here. Also if tip is included why am I paying extra like whyyyyyyyy? I'm going to stick to my go to place of 10 years that would have charged me $60 (with tip) for this but better work. This place is all hype. The owner is hella nice and cool tho. Her nail techs not so much. This was the second time I went there too. Disappointed read more

I love this place, I have been here a number of times for full sets and pedicures .. with and without an appt. They're always helpful and realistic on their time and what they can do. The ambiance is nice, can be very relaxing when they have slow and soft music on, but it's also a good vibe when they have other music on too. They have tons of color options and types of nails you can get: acrylic, builder gel, gel x. The place is clean. I like their checkin system, they register your phone number and save your name after the first visit. I have had to wait to be seen past my appt time, which can be annoying especially if you're on a time crunch, but it hasn't been a major issue for me. I now go there knowing I'm going to spend some time, they definitely don't rush their service. I clearly love this place, but I came on here to review/rave about me taking my daughters to get mani/pedis, this is the 2nd time I bring my girls along, and both times we have all left extremely satisfied and happy with our nails (hands & feet)! The individuals working there have great attention to detail, and the treatment, respect, and time they took on my girls was amazing. They didn't rush through the service or diminish the work they were doing just because the clients were kids. You can tell they take pride in the work and love what they're doing. Us 3 girls left happy, and will definitely be coming again. read more

I love how they do nails! The place is clean , very cute & super accommodating. My nails last much longer than 3 weeks fr fr. They can do literally any design you ask.

This is a really nice and clean nail salon. You can call to make an appointment, which I highly recommend. The prices on their website are up to date and accurate. My appointment started on time. I worked with Lynn. She asked me what I wanted and checked in with me along the way. I chose builder gel on my natural nail, no length added and I showed her the design I wanted. My finished nails look great and it's exactly what I wanted. My total was originally $80, but first time clients get a 15% discount per their website. She honored that and my total came down to $68. I'll be back soon for a fill for sure. read more

Today I went in for a fill, my appointment was at 3:30 pm. At 4:30 one of the girls told me that they wouldn't be able to do my nails any more because there was no time, after I complained the nail technician said I can do your fill with no design, I said fine. After I got seated nail tech said I We might not have the same acrylic color, she thought she had a match but it was not the color, and didn't make the effort to find a better match. I had to ask her to file around the cuticle 2 time's. overall I had a bad experience had to pay for a service that was not good. I had hear how bad the tech nail day was, I was so mad that I ask the other nail tech take off the the set and refuse and she do a full color in top to cover the mess. so disappointed of their lack of professionalism. read more

She did not clean my feet fr I could've done that whole service at home with some White nail polish mind you. I got the classic pedicure which is $30. why came back to my room. Realize they charged me almost $60. For what !??? you didn't even do nothing. but paint my toes. and soak my feet and cold water. These people don't give a fuck unless your their little regulars i'll just be careful how much they tell you. You're going to Pay, and then what you're really paying. I asked for acrylic toes because I wanted it bigger then my nail why tf she made it the same length like I could've really bought so fucking press ons, and did my own feetthey will over charge u for EVERYYYYYY THING idk how 30$ went to 60$ and I didn't even get a 5min massage lol this place a joke fr read more

I hate to leave a bad review cause all the girls were so nice but honestly these are the worst nails I've ever had. I get French tips all the time and have never not had a base coat put on before applying the design. You can literally see the bubbles and the gel and it just looks terrible. When i said something to the nail tech about the bubbles and how i always had a base coat, she adds it to my thumb and none of my other fingers. I can't believe she really let me leave with this set looking so horrible. I'm pretty sure it was the owner who was doing the design too. I was excited to try this place out cause they look so good on Instagram but i just felt like my service was rushed. read more

I just visited this place today, based on the past reviews and well the convince. When I first walked it was quiet, only 2 Clients inside. the staff greeted me and sat me quickly to a pedicure chair. I waited for about 20 mins for girl to become available. Very quick pedicure, basically didn't ask me anything and lasted less than 30 mins. Nothing regarding about shape, if I liked the color, nothing. I tried to do small talk but didn't engage staff. $15 for gel plus $28 basic pedicure. This is insane!!!! I guess getting your nails this days are not for the poor. But what triggered me was the other lady doing nails speaking about how some customers complain about the prices and rudely done son right in front of another client who if I'm being honest was NOT going to pay $80+ for basic ped/manicure. I didn't get gel on my hands and girl! They will stare at you as if you are out of your mind, definitely won't be returning as their lack of engagement and well pricing is not for me. Here is a pic of my ugly manicure and this was $25. Just be aware of what you're paying isn't the best. read more

I was very excited to get my nails done for my graduation and the lady ruined my experience. To begin I booked an appointment and they called me saying they were fully booked after I already made an appointment. Then I told them if they have an opening in the morning they could called me, which they did. I told them the design over the phone and they told me to come in. When I came I showed her the photo and she told me she didn't have time for the design. After she did half of the design, I asked if I could wait for another person to finish it which only took less then five mins and she told me no one could cuz it won't look the same. She ended up doing it and then told me to make sure to book an appointment next time while being very rude about it. I try to avoid making bad reviews but this made me really upset l. read more

Rosy Tips Nails & Spa - Full set of spring acrylics! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I have gotten my nails done at this place about 4 times. I really appreciate that they actually abide by appointment times when you book one. I also love how creative the nail techs are, you can tell they love what they do. They also use really good quality nail products which I love. They are very welcoming and kind. I most recently got my nails done by Riley and I could tell she was really paying attention to detail. The only thing I will say is that my acrylics were a little thin making them susceptible to breaking. Nonetheless they were really kind and fixed my nail free of charge. Otherwise I really enjoyed my time here recently. I know in the past I used to hear the nail techs talking smack, but I haven't experienced that recently. read more

This is a hidden gem of Chula Vista. Today was my second visit with acrylics and both sets have been phenomenal the structure is found the shape is perfect I had no breakage lifting or cracks over the weeks between my services.

I am extremely particular in the foundation of my nails. I have my manicuring license & been doing them for over 10years.. with that being said, she laid, slayed & put her entire foot into these! Nobody is allowed to touch my hands but my girls here at Rosy Tips. On a whim decided to go a deep French tip & I explained what I wanted & my girl chuckled & showed me that THIS is what she does! So when I say babygirl executed & shut my ass up! That's what she did! I still could kiss her for how flawless these came out! NOW! My toes! Child when I say I looked like I stomp the yard outside barefoot after I kicked rocks! After she got her hands on me!!!! Heels!? SMOOTH! Calluses!? GONE! My toes ready to be in my man's mouth!

The nail tech seemed nice when I entered and we spoke about the services I needed. Let me start by saying, I was a walk in customer and they sat me immediately. I explained what I wanted and the tech advised me the structured gel would be better, so I went with it. The entire vibe however was off. She wasn't very personable, no conversation absolutely nothing. Then, when I told her I'd like her to fix the shape in one of my nails she seemed agitated and she made some comment that was off putting. She must never get told to fix things because she made it seem like it was so much work to correct the problem. Anyways I guess she was done with me and asked another tech to polish. She moved on to another customer and she had so much personality and conversation to offer this girl. Anyways the second girl was kind and patient which was refreshing. Overall not worth the drive, my time or anything else. The nails were thicker than I like and she made them curve which I definitely dislike. read more

The previous review was requested to be removed. That is not something I believe is appropriate. There's a reason for yelp :) I will just update instead. So I went back there for free color change.

First time here, the nail techs Joy and Riley made me feel welcome and comfortable to interact with them. I highly recommend this place.

This place used to be good and was relaxing. Not sure if it's been under new management in the past year or so. But now the vibe feels off. The few times I've gone I've felt uncomfortable because the nail techs like to talk bad about customers just as they are about to come in. Just feels super gossipy in there now and not a place to unwind and relax. I feel like they overbook and rush through appointments just to accommodate. My last few times I've been my nails came out just ok. Time to find another nail place. read more

Rosy Tips Nails & Spa - Nails by Mia (Picture doesn't do justice and it's actually prettier in person) I'm so happy - Nail Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

When I first discovered this nail salon, it was run by Vee or Vy & I honestly came because I liked the men who did the pedicures. I enjoyed a deeper massage. It is now a different owner & I'm unsure of her name but she does amazing nails herself, I think she was the one who did my purple butterfly nails. The other 2 photos are by Rocio. I had my nails done once by Deedee & they popped off in a week. They were not my favorite nails anyways. The reason I give this place 2 stars now is because the salon is not what it used to be anymore. I used to come here to relax & I'd go religiously monthly but now I come every 2 months because I'm actually anxious to go. The most recent & unfortunately last time I'll be there, I got this blue set of nails (photo included) by Rocio. I also had a pedicure done by Alexia who actually made my toe bleed the last time I got her, I was nervous to be with her but this time, it all went well except she did not communicate I was going to be charged $18 for gel removal. I had always gotten pedicures there & not once was I charged for a gel removal. I actually had requested for no color this time because I wanted to spend less. I was paying for everything together and she communicated with Deedee about why my pedicure was so much but did not communicate with me, I'm just overhearing. I'm not one to make a scene anywhere so I respectfully paid what needed to be paid but like said, I had never been charged a gel removal so I didn't appreciate the hidden charge. Lastly, I know we ALL do this, we all talk bad about customers here & there but this is what also makes me anxious on going to this salon now is that they talk bad about customers in front of you. I'm sure they'll talk bad about me next once they see this review but I was getting my nails done with Deedee & most of them were talking bad about a client named Carol for a good 15 min, saying how she's too much to handle & annoying and will only do one service on her each staff member because she's "that bad" and this same client (Carol) comes in 10 minutes later and they were all greeting her so kindly & welcoming like they were not talking shit a bit ago lol. This girl actually sat next to me & was really kind & quiet, kinda like me when I go so I was pretty confused. I honestly do not care if you talk shit, we all do it. We're all imperfect but the professionalism of this place went from 100 to 0. I'm very sad that I will not be going here anymore, especially since Rocio & the new owner (who does my eyebrows) are amazing. I wish the owner nothing but the best and hopefully more respectful & communicative employees in the future. read more

I always try to make an appointment but when i've gone as a walk i've never waited more than 15 minutes. They also always try to accommodate to you, when I've gone with my boyfriend they always make him feel welcome too and even put a chair for him next to me. read more
