    Callus removal scratch
    Stacey M.

    I'll start with the good, because there was a lot of it! I was seated right away as a walk in and was seen immediately, which was very nice of them! The ladies I worked with were very nice and efficient, very careful with the polish and did a beautiful job with the nails. I opted for a pedicure with callus removal and that also started just fine except the hard sponge they used was a bit sharp. It felt like it cut me when she brought it up to the side of my foot and I pulled my foot away for a moment as it was uncomfortable. She seemed apologetic and I don't think she noticed that she had cut me. I wasn't able to get a good look at it until I left the salon but a few days later it's still a bit raw/painful. I'm training for a half marathon and will likely need to take a few days off running which is a bummer. I would go back again because the rest of the experience was so positive, but I likely won't do the callus removal again as it was just a bit too rough.

    Before with chips and after Christina fixed me up! Thank you

    Let me start by saying the few times I've been to this salon the staff is so sweet, attentive and respectful from the second you walk in. This time around I came in to get a mani pedi and everything was done exactly how I asked. A few days later the color on the French mani started to chip on a few nails. So I came after work and Christina was able to fix me up right away! Thank you so much. Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

    I search for hours for nail salon in San Diego and finally found this gem! This is one of the best nail salons I've ever been to. The prices are reasonable (best Ive found $42 gel pedicure. $65 ombre gelx or acrylic, no up charge!!). The staff was super friendly. Very clean and fast service. I was able to get done my pedicure and my nails at the same time, making the visit shorter than expected. They have so many colors to choose from. I never seen so many before! They did a fantastic job! I didn't get any designs, but I saw designs on other people and they were amazing. I highly recommend coming here.

    Custom nails

    Great facility and amazing technicians. They did custom acrylics on both me and my daughter, and we both love the outcome.

    What I asked for
    Selena A.

    First off I'll say I love the way my nails turned out! I came in after work and no appointment but they were able to accommodate me in between people who had an appointment. I showed my nail tech the inspo pic of the nails I wanted and she had never done ones like it before but she did such a great job and not to mentioned she stayed a little late to finish. She was so sI've been here a few time but I will continue to go back. Their prices are pretty reasonable too. I usually pay a little less elsewhere for designs but I like their customer service and quality here. All the staff a friendly too so I'll be back for my next design :)

    Easter Spring Set. Blossoms with pastel pink French tip. Christina is the best!
    Edie R.

    Christina and her team are such a pleasure to visit for my mani & pedi. They take their time, ensuring your quality of service is rushed, and they are really friendly and easy to chat with. I appreciate Christina working with my mom, who gets only gel polish on her real nails, as I get gel with Acrylic tips. I'm never disappointed when I leave. I find myself excited for my next appointment.

    Awesome nails and service. Walk in or appointment available. It was fast and quality. I'll definitely be back

    Perfect Gel X with design by Christina! Go to her!

    I went here for the first time today after someone recommended it to me and I loved it! Amazing service, perfect Gel X and Ultimate Pedicure. Christina did my nails and they were exactly what I asked for and she was so sweet! Ana did my pedicure and she did my French tip on the toes perfectly and did a great massage! Will definitely be driving out here to this area to get service again instead of my old nail salon down the street from me! Thank you ladies! 5 stars!!

    I wanted something natural with a little sparkle to it  thank you !
    Raelene P.

    Wanted something natural looking but with a little sparkle to it, but not too flashy, for the gel extension, was hard to explain what I wanted at first, but after I was able to, for the look I wanted, thank you !

    I have been going here since May 2025. I always get Gel X with Christina. She always does an amazing job and I am always satisfied with my nails! She always delivers and is the sweetest.

    Christina always is so amazing. She does great work and amazing service! I definitely recommend:)

    i was referred to SD Nails by a friend and they did not disappoint. My nails were terribly grown out and in bad shape from my last set, but Christina did a great job of fixing them right up! (and for an incredible price) she was kind and gentle, making sure i was pleased with every step. definitely making SD nails my go to spot. thank you Christina!

    Do you do dip powder, and how much?

    Yes. We do. $50

    How much for gel mani and regular pedi?

    Mani w gel $32 and regular pedi $28

    Are the prices reasonable for acrylics?

    Acrylic w gel $50

    Do they do acrylic on your toenails? Both of my big toe nails are very thin and break easily, I need acrylic to keep them from breaking but a lot of salons don't do it. :(

    I'm not sure if they do acrylic on the toenails but I get a gel pedicure which really seems to help with the problem that you're having. Give Lisa a call see if she can help you. She's more than accommodating!!

    Is this place still open? The numbers listed are either not being answered or no longer in service

    Yes. 858.503.1488

    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!

    I've had lip filler once in the past somewhere else and I wasn't super happy with the results, but…read moreI decided to give it another try at a different spot. After reading reviews I decided to go with Cindy, and she was AMAZING! Super friendly, professional, and informative. Instead of just showing her a photo and saying "DO THAT," she spent 15-20 minutes analyzing my lips with me and discussed the way the muscles effect the shape. Based on what I ultimately wanted (more volume but still "natural" looking), she was able to pinpoint the perfect areas to inject. She also noticed the way my lips pulled in when I talked due to a muscle in my upper lip so she gave me a little lip flip botox (for a very reasonable price) and I LOVE it. There wasn't any pressure to add it on, but she said it's something I may want to consider for the future, and I considered very fast lol. They're still settling after a week, but so far I'm in love and Cindy will definitely be my new injector since I totally trust her judgement!
