I've been a regular customer here for about 2.5 years, mainly because of the convenient location. The quality of service really depends on which technician you get and whether they are rushed or in the right headspace that day. Looking back, there were warning signs. I once brought a friend in for a pre-wedding manicure, and her cuticle was cut so deeply that she was bleeding and in pain. Another time, my partner left with a bleeding foot after a pedicure due to over-filing. Those incidents should have made me stop coming, but I stayed because 3 technicians (Tracy, Tiffany and Jessy) I regularly see are usually solid. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was upsetting enough that it left me in tears. I came in for a mani/pedi ahead of my bachelorette trip - an important event for me. The technician who did my manicure is someone I often need to ask to correct my nail shape, as she tends to blame on my uneven fingers, which I usually let that go as long as it's fixed. This time, I asked for a cat-eye polish that fit a bridal theme and pointed directly to the example displayed in the salon. What ended up on my nails looked nothing like the display - it leaned silver/pink and metallic, which I clearly said I did not want. I was told that the display and the actual result are "different," and while I understand that not knowing exact color names may technically be on me, the situation could have been handled with more patience and guidance. Instead, the technician became dismissive and said, "Ugh, oh my god! If you want to see other colors, get up and look yourself." For an event like a bachelorette, I think it's reasonable to be particular. When I stood up to look at other options, another technician joined the conversation and raised her voice, insisting that cat-eye polish has to be silver. I felt cornered and overwhelmed to the point where I apologized for being "too picky," even though I was simply asking for help. To end the situation, I asked for a different sparkly color over a milky base. Thankfully, the final result was fine, but by then I was anxious that my nails might be rushed or mishandled out of frustration. At checkout, I calmly told the manager that as a long-time customer, I expected to be treated with respect and that the situation wasn't handled well. I still tipped both technicians. Her response felt dismissive - she said my appointment ran over time and that the technician was "just trying to please me," which missed the point entirely. The next day, I had to return because two of my toenails were ruined - likely from being rushed into flip-flops while the polish was still setting. I truly didn't want to come back, but it was the day before my bachelorette. I was told to return in an hour and felt uncomfortable due to the tension and looks from staff. Thankfully, a different technician fixed the issue professionally and kindly, and I tipped her separately for her time. After visiting other nail salons, I realized the gel polish tends to last longer there (for me it was about 10 days here), and technicians usually shape the nails correctly without me having to repeatedly ask for adjustments. Because of these experiences, I'm not sure if I will return. I hope the salon reflects on both technical quality and customer hospitality. read more

Was visiting San Diego and one of my nail broke and this nail salon was the closest from my hotel. When I arrived there, the lady in the front desk was crouching down sleeping and kind of had to wake her up. I decided to do gel manicure and I told the lady I had a broken nail and if she can fix it. She just looked at my nails with no response. She glued it but i told her can you make sure it stays that way, maybe add powder or acrylic to make it stronger and she didn't say anything at all. So I figured the glue was enough. Every time I would talk, she wouldn't really respond. A day later, that same nail broke from the same spot. She didn't do a very a good job fixing my broken nail and didn't even bother trying to do what I recommended. I had to spend more money trying to fix my broken nail at another nail salon. This place looked promising as it looked nice inside especially with all of the pretty nail polish options that they had. But that doesn't matter if they don't do a good job on your nails and don't bother talking to you. read more

My manicures and pedicures always turn out great. The people that work here are very nice and they take walk ins, but i always call ahead just in case. The prices are also pretty average, i thought it was going to be more since it's in a more touristy area of seaport village, but it is reasonably priced. My new go-to salon. read more

Tiffany has been taking care of me for the past 2 years and has not failed to deliver excellence from my Toes to Fingertips! My mother stated that she preferred this salon over the others for its quiet vibe and the staff being tactful.

I liked that they took walk ins on a busy weekend the had margaritas or mimosas and were friendly

We had an appointment at noon. in front of us they took group of 4-5 walk-ins and started working on them. While we waited sitting for 20 minutes without the service. I asked what happened to our apt, they asked "to wait at least another 10 min or you can leave now"! ?!! I said we cant wait another 10 min, it's already 30 minutes of our time, which will make me late to my next appointment. We left due to neglect of the customer with appointment. Absolute nonsense and disrespect to a customer time. Never will be back! In addition - I have been a regular customer for sometime now and only getting here regular pedicure. From my experience they don't know how to do regular manicure (!!). After trying it in the past my nails were in poor shape and took months to recover. Can't comment on gel services, I don't do those type of nails. read more

UNSANITARY !! EXTREMELY RUDE AND LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM.. I came here to repair a broken nail. I was SHOCKED that the lady wanted to glue a new nail on top of the original broken acrylic nail. She didn't bother to remove the old nail at all... she simply drilled it down a little, without even making the slightest effort to remove the older acrylic, that's just plain laziness or ignorance ... When I explained to the lady that I wanted her to remove the old nail completely, she walked away to assist another lady who had just walked in. I didn't think much of it... I had a little time to wait. As I sat there, (I realize the lady was never going to come back to finish my )... which I was grateful for because I witnessed one lady performing pedicure, she did not even use clean utensils, she rolled her little chair onto the next person, and use the exact same utensils without cleaning or disinfecting them. After witnessing that I considered leaving... but decided I was on my lunch break and it's just one broken nail and I would make sure to ask the lady who does my nails to use sanitary tools. I was ignored for about 10 minutes just sitting there observing. Then they all began to talk amongst themselves in their own language ... I tried to communicate with the lady at the front desk, she literally just shood me away like I was a fly. I am so glad I was not assisted right away, I would never give my hard earned money to these people who are ungrateful to their customers and lack customer service from all angles. read more

This place is unsanitary. I went one time for a pedicure which the lady seemed annoyed to be doing and did a poor job - callouses were barely removed, massage was super short. Shortly thereafter I was diagnosed with toenail fungus which I've never experienced in my life. Never again! Not a good experience and I'm still paying for it. read more

Amazing experience here! I walked in and was sat almost immediately without an appointment. I requested some pretty difficult designs and there was no hesitation in doing it and it only took a little over an hour. They look better than I imagined. I will definitely be coming back here :) read more

Requested a dip mani and regular pedi. Called at 10:03 am right after they opened. They told me they were busy and scheduled me at 11. I show up at 10:45, wait a few minutes. They start on my pedicure and about 40 min later I'm asking when my mani will start. I was visiting in town and staying at the hotel across the street but had family photos scheduled later that afternoon which is why I needed my nails done. They talk amongst themselves and say nothing so again 10 min later I ask and they bring the manager to me and they tell me there's no tech available to do the dip. I'm not sure why they'd accept my appointment knowing they lacked availability and I had to leave even before my toes dried so that I could power walk downtown to another salon for my manicure. Very annoying, poor communication. The pedicurist was nice and the pedicure was decent read more

Very nice and clean place! They have a bar in there too! Loved my pedicure with Tracy!

Yes I recommend I got my nails (full set acrylics) and toes (gel) done and I paid around $130 if I remember correctly they were friendly and even offered me champagne or water I wish I had better pics read more

I want to Seaport nails to get my nails done for my boyfriend's birthday. I cannot complain about the service I received while there, I received a gel x extra long set with custom design that were done how I asked. The problem didn't occur until the following day, when my nails started to slide off (see photo). This has happened to five out of my 10 nails. It has been less than a week since I got my nails done! I live in LA so I was unable to return to get them fixed, which they said they would do but I am weary because they should've just been done right the first time. I spent $115 for nails that didn't even last a day. I wear gel X regularly and have never had this happen. read more

I was in San Diego for a conference and wanted to get a pedicure nearby after the long travel day. I was staying at Hyatt and this was the closest nail salon. It is about a 3 minute walk away from the Hyatt, in a cute galleria. I was a walk in on a Tuesday but was immediately seated. It smelled very fruity and not chemically inside. I chose a color on my phone and she went around a found the perfect match! She was very accommodating, and friendly, but she also wasn't talkative (which I normally am very chatty, but I was very tired and appreciated the calm and quiet) I received the callus scrub, and my heels are so soft. $40 for pedicure. .50 cents surcharge for credit, and they prefer cash tips read more

I'm not picky with my nails but I do expect quality. I am SO often disappointed in nail salons. Even when I find a place, I think is good after two or three times I am burned. This is never been the case with Seaport nails. I have been here three or four times. I guess I have hesitated coming regularly because it isn't the most convenient, but I am blown away with the consistency of good looking, well done nails and will be returning indefinitely. I have seen different people each time-all great. I had Tiffany today. Thank you! read more

Made an appointment for 2:30 and arrived on time, and they told me to sit and wait and they'd be right with me. 20 minutes later, no one has acknowledged me whatsoever. So I asked the same lady that asked me if I had an appointment when I walked in, and I said excuse me I've been waiting for over 20 mins when will I be seen? And she said "oh I don't know maybe 5-10 mins? And I said, well what is it because I've been waiting over 20 mins with an appointment and I can't wait anymore, then she says we'll were really busy so, yeah I don't know. And I said you could've told me that when I walked in, thank you. So there's no reason to make an appointment, you will still have to wait longer than you should. read more

Discovered Mia isn't here anymore when I called to book my appt for today. The girl did my nails and pedicure today did a great job. She didn't speak english, but she was very aware of that and made sure she asked for help when she didn't understand something I was asking. I really do like the nail salon. I've started coming here regularly since we are in town every month. It is a nice, big and bright salon. doors are open to seaport village area and lots of foot traffic. The salon was slow when I arrived today for my 3pm appt, but by the time I left at 4:45 it was almost packed with pedicure clients. They do a nice job here and I feel that if you had a problem they would take care of it right away if they knew about it. The entire staff constantly asked me if everything was ok. I'm telling you though, THE PEDICURE MASSAGE CHAIR WAS INCREDIBLE. Go for a pedicure and stay for the chair massage!!! read more
